Chapter 21 The Bank of the Wei River 4

When Shi Wansui heard Han Qinhu's cautious words, he felt stunned and his anger had dissipated.

After thinking about it, I realized that Han Qinhu's words were reasonable, and he immediately bowed and thanked him: "I have been at the front for a long time, and I thought that I would be safe and sound when I returned to the court. Who knew that the dangers of fighting in the court would be even greater than

Two armies confronting each other? If I hadn't been warned, my subordinates would have almost made a mistake."

Han Qinhu said: "General Shi, please don't blame yourself. I must also take responsibility for what happened today. If I hadn't been so proud and took out the Holy Edict to show others, perhaps I wouldn't have gotten into such a mess.

We must be extra cautious in our behavior in the future, so as not to allow others to take advantage of us."

Shi Wansui and the Li brothers all bowed and said yes.

It was already getting late and everyone resigned one after another.

Li Yaoshi said to Li Yaowang and Li Keshi: "I was reading "Sun Tzu's Art of War" a few days ago, and there are still some things that I don't understand. I would like to ask my uncle for advice. Please go back first, eldest brother and third brother."

Li Yaowang and Li Keshi agreed and left first.

After everyone left, Han Qinhu led Pharmacist Li into the study and asked: "Pharmacist, what do you think of today's events?"

Pharmacist Li replied: ""Sun Tzu" said: "Soldiers are crafty." This is true for training troops at the front, and the same is true for fighting for victory in the temple.

He treated me with deceit, and I should retaliate with deceit."

Han Qinhu nodded and smiled: "That's right. In your opinion, how should I retaliate with deceit?"

Li Yaoshi said: "The so-called 'avoid them when you are strong', Mr. Yang is on the top of the cauldron. He is strong and I am weak. It is better to avoid them. It is not suitable to fight. The so-called 'get angry and scratch them', Mr. He Ruo is filled with anger, and it is unavoidable.

When I am impulsive, I should stop myself by being still."

Han Qinhu smiled and said: "How to avoid it? How to stop it with stillness?"

Li Yaoshi said: "Master Yang is already jealous of his uncle's talent. If he can't make use of his talent, I'm afraid Master Yang won't let it go. Now that he can't avoid him, he can only avoid his front. The so-called "

"If you are close, you are far away; if you are far, you are close." In my heart, I really want to stay away, but my words and deeds show that I am close. If my uncle is willing to deliberately make friends with Mr. Yang, maybe Mr. Yang will not point his spear at my uncle! "

Han Qinhu was a little hesitant: "Mr. Yang seems to be gentle and kind, but in fact he is very suspicious, jealous and scheming. As the saying goes, 'A good bird chooses wood, a good friend chooses friends'. If I collude with Mr. Yang, wouldn't I be ashamed?"

Heart?"

According to the "Book of the Sui Dynasty", the historian said that Yang Su was "a man of both civil and military talent, capable of clever tactics, gentle on the outside, and cunning on the inside."

Pharmacist Li said frankly: "Master Niu from the Ministry of Rites is an elegant gentleman. He has a close personal relationship with Master Yang. Does my uncle think that the two of them are colluding with each other?"

Niu Hong was also a famous official in the Sui Dynasty. According to the "Book of Sui", the historian described him as an "elegant gentleman".

At that time he was appointed as the Minister of Rites.

Han Qinhu was silent when he heard the words. After a moment, he sighed: "That's fine!"

Li Yaoshi continued: "Now, in the temple, the person who is uneasy because of my uncle's outstanding achievements is not just Mr. Yang?"

Han Qinhu understood what he said, looked at Medicine Master Li, and said with a smile: "Physician, there is something in your words. What do you want to say, is 'the master of great power shakes the master'?"

Pharmacist Li bowed his head with a smile and said, "Uncle Mingjian."

Han Qinhu nodded and said: "So, when you say 'strong and avoid others', you are not only referring to Mr. Yang?"

Pharmacist Li bowed and said yes.

Han Qinhu sat on the Grand Master's chair, tapped the armrest, and said thoughtfully: "If you are strong, avoid it... If you are strong, avoid it... Pharmacist, do you actually want me to resign?"

Pharmacist Li bowed again and said, "My nephew dare not. Although the world is unified now, there are still Turks in the north, so I am afraid that my uncle will not be able to resign. My nephew just wants to say that Mr. He Ruo left with anger today. I think it will be hard to get rid of his anger.

He will take action soon. According to my nephew, if he takes action, my uncle might as well take advantage of the situation and deliberately show weakness. If someone in a higher position blames him, his uncle might as well accept it peacefully. This is not just "

To stop with stillness is to "retreat to advance"; it is not only to "be strong and avoid others", but also to "be humble and arrogant".

Then, the superiors can dispel some of their wariness and reduce your jealousy. In the future, my uncle will be able to stand facing the Central Government and avoid being surrounded by powerful enemies. The so-called "harmony is most valuable", I don't know what my uncle thinks.

Or not?"

When Han Qinhu heard this, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Physician, in this world, who else can talk to me about Sun and Wu's military skills, besides you, who else can I talk about?"

************************

The next morning, He Ruobi indeed had a memorial, telling how he fought to the death in the south of the Yangtze River and defeated Chen Guorui's soldiers. However, Han Qinhu did not fight against Chen's army. How could his achievements be compared with his own? Han Qinhu had already made up his mind.

, he only stated the truth frankly in front of the emperor, and instead of exaggerating his achievements, he protected He Ruobi at every turn.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, was a very scrupulous and stingy person. Naturally, he liked his subordinates to be restrained and self-denial, and did not like to be flashy and arrogant.

Therefore, he did not listen to He Ruobi's advice, and only said that both generals had received great honors and had made great contributions to the country. They were both granted further titles and promoted to the Shangzhu Kingdom.

The military system of the Sui Dynasty inherited the Fu military system created by Yuwentai of the Western Wei Dynasty and passed down through the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

The soldiers under the system belong to the twenty-four armies, and the commander of each army is Kaifu.

There are twelve generals above the twenty-fourth Kaifu, and each general controls the second Kaifu.

Above the twelve generals, there are six generals of the six pillar states, referred to as the pillar states, and each pillar state commands two generals.

Xianbei has always adopted an eight-ministry system. There are eight pillar states in North Korea and China, but only six pillar states lead the army.

Kaifu, General, and Zhuguo can all be promoted to Kaifu, General, and Zhuguo due to merit.

By the time of the Sui Dynasty, the number of generals, generals, and generals in the imperial government had far exceeded that of the Western Wei Dynasty. However, at this time, Han Qinhu and He Ruobi were awarded the position of Zhuguo, which was already the highest title of military commander under the imperial military system.

Already.

However, He Ruobi was not satisfied with this. Within a few days, he joined forces with officials to impeach Han Qinhu, saying that after entering Jiankang City, he broke into the Chen Palace without authorization and allowed the soldiers to rape the Chen Palace.

Yang Jian asked Yang Guang for his opinion. Yang Guang was unwilling to give up because Han Qinhu entered the Chen Palace first and captured Chen Shubao, so he did not offer any advice for Han Qinhu.

Yang Jian followed the law and expelled Han, captured the tiger, and applied for the Duke's title and food.

However, the emperor really did not like to see his ministers competing for merit with each other in front of the emperor. At this time, because the north was still in conflict with the Turks, it was the time to employ people, so Yang Jian had to resolve the grievances of his ministers.

However, deep down in Shengxuan, he was already dissatisfied with He Ruobi.

Although Han Qinhu lost the title of Shen Guogong, it also made Yang Jian and Yang Guang less jealous and no longer had to confront He Ruobi for the time being.
