Chapter 198: Being a person but getting trapped
Chapter 197: I''m calculating others but trapping myself
No one knows a father is better than a son.
Qin Hao naturally saw his father''s doubts and immediately explained with a faint smile: "Father, it is more than enough to protect the four counties by a hundred thousand troops. No matter how much it is, it will only cost money and food. Besides, the troops are in the elite but not in the large amount. Instead of expanding the army to 150,000, it is better to train 100,000 elite troops with stronger combat power."
“It makes sense.”
After Qin Wen thought for a little while, he immediately chuckled and nodded, not realizing it at all. During the communication process of his son, he had already subconsciously focused on Qin Hao''s ideas and would not refuse Qin Hao at all.
This scene was naturally seen by Zhang Ran, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart.
How is this the father and the son? It''s totally about the king and the minister. But the king is the son, but the minister becomes the son.
It seems that there are really natural leaders in this world!
Zhang Rang came to Yanmen in a high profile, and an imperial edict brought two marquises to Yanmen. From then on, the Qin family had two marquises. Then Zhang Rang left in a high profile, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he had "broken" 50,000 taels of gold from Qin Wen.
Many people in Luoyang were shocked by this. After all, Qin Wen, who has always been aloof, had to lose money and eliminate disasters in order not to get involved in unnecessary "troubles". It can be seen that the power of the Ten Constant Assistant is still quite large, so it is best not to offend the Ten Constant Assistant!
After returning to the court, Zhang Rang immediately exposed the news that Qin Hao had recovered the three counties of Zhongbei in front of the civil and military ministers of the court. The civil and military officials of the court were shocked and stunned.
Who would have thought that in less than a month, the half-destroyed Yanmen Army recovered the three central and northern counties that had been lost for more than 20 years and made another extraordinary achievement.
That boy Qin Hao is really troublesome. The contribution of regaining lost land is no less than that of the Huns. He has just been granted the title of marquis and is about to be promoted again.
All the civil and military officials in the court were very jealous of Qin Hao. Just talking about the speed of promotion, no one in the entire Han Dynasty could compare with Qin Hao.
Next, Zhang Rang twelfthat the Yanmen Army suffered heavy casualties, and tactfully proposed from the side that the Yanmen Army wanted to rest and replenish its troops, hoping that the court could support the relocated refugees to enrich the population of the three counties to fight against the foreign races in the north.
Liu Hong agreed without hesitation. The half-remnant Yanmen Army could not affect the overall situation at all. Only the Yanmen Army after restoring its strength can play its due role. Liu Hong thought very thoroughly about this.
As for the issue of relocating refugees, this is not a problem in Liu Hong''s opinion. Relocating refugees is just an imperial edict for the Luoyang court, and the court does not have to pay for food. Whether they can reach the three counties depends on the refugees themselves.
I have to say that the emperor Liu Hong is still a bit responsible. Although the three counties in the north and north are useless to the court, since they have been recovered, he will definitely not give up.
After retreating, Liu Hongqu, who had just smiled, suddenly frowned. Seeing this, Zhang Rang felt a sudden thump and asked carefully: "The recovery of the three counties is a happy event. Why is Your Majesty frowning and looking distressed?"
"I am worried about what official I want to give Qin Hao this time." Liu Hong rubbed his temples and said distressedly: "Qin Hao was not even fifteen years old, so he was already appointed as the champion Marquis and the General of the Tiger General. This is an achievement that many people will never achieve in their lifetime. If they continue to be promoted, then Qin Hao''s promotion speed would be too fast."
When Liu Mu, the princess who happened to pass by, heard this, he immediately leaned over and hugged Liu Hong''s arm, and said coquettishly: "Father, Qin Hao is too young to be in a high position, so why not give him more gold and silver to show his favor."
Qin Hao, let you underestimate me and give you a little lesson first to let you know that this princess is not easy to mess with. Liu Mu was extremely proud, but his face remained silent.
When Zhang Rang heard this, he suddenly cried in his heart, "Did Hao''er offend the princess after ten thousand years?" This girl actually wanted to use some money to offset the military achievements of recovering the three counties. She was so sinister!
"Your Majesty, if you only reward gold and silver for such great achievements, do you feel worried and stingy?" Zhang Rang said softly.
"It''s indeed inappropriate!" Liu Hong nodded. Although he was soft-hearted, he was not stupid. If only gold and silver were rewarded for such a contribution, then who would still work hard to kill the enemy in the future?
Zhang Rang felt relieved when he heard this, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes when he looked at Liu Mu.
Little girl, I dare to plot against Hao''er, I won''t give you some excellence. Zhang Rang said in his heart.
"Your Majesty, since high officials and generous salaries are not enough, why don''t Your Majesty let the prince argue to marry General Wen of Qin and marry the Qin family to show his favor." Zhang Rang smiled and said, "How can you be more glorious about marrying the imperial family?"
After thinking for a while, Liu Hong finally shook his head, because even if he agreed, Liu Bing, his mother, Empress He and his uncle He Jin would not agree.
Although Qin Wen held heavy troops, he wanted to marry his daughter to the eldest prince Liu Bian, but the Qin family was not qualified.
Liu Hong thought hard for a long time, but he didn''t think of any good idea. When his eyes fell on Liu Mu, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of some good idea.
"Father, what are you looking at?" Liu Mu asked uncomfortable.
Liu Hong did not answer, but instead asked Zhang Rang, saying, "Father Rang, have you met that boy Qin Hao personally this time?"
Zhang Rang laughed secretly in his heart and finally took the bait!
"Your Majesty asked the old slave to hand over the imperial edict to Mr. Qin Hao, so of course I have seen it with my own eyes!"
"Father, what is that boy Qin Hao''s appearance and character?" Liu Hong asked with great anticipation.
Zhang Rang immediately grinned and said, "When it comes to appearance, I don''t know how to describe it. I have seen many young talented old slaves in Luoyang, but no one can compare with Mr. Qin Hao in terms of appearance. If you haven''t seen it personally, it is really hard to imagine that there is such a perfect man in the world."
When Liu Hong heard that Zhang Rang actually praised Qin Hao so much, he immediately became interested in Qin Hao and asked in disbelief: "Is it true or false?"
"I dare not deceive Your Majesty!" Zhang Rang said seriously.
Hearing Zhang Rang really praise Qin Hao, Liu Mu immediately muttered dissatisfiedly: "Jiang looks handsome and is also an arrogant and rude guy!"
But her voice was too low, neither Liu Hong nor Zhang Rang heard it.
Liu Hong continued to ask, "What about the character?"
"This is not easy to say. After all, the old slave and Mr. Qin have not been together for a long time..." Zhang Rang hesitated after a little thought: "Old slave Ju observes and thinks that Mr. Qin Hao is definitely a filial person!"
When Liu Hong heard this, he murmured to himself: "Both both civil and military, outstanding military achievements, handsome appearance, and filial. It''s really perfect, just him..."
"Father, what perfection is? Who is that?" Liu Mu asked in confusion.
Liu Hong touched Liu Mu''s hair pamperedly and said with a smile: "It''s nothing."
