Cui Hao, courtesy name Boyuan, was born in Qinghe and was the eldest son of Xuan Bo, the Duke of White Horse.
When he was young, he was fond of literature. He read extensively classics and historical works. He understood the study of celestial phenomena, yin and yang, the five elements, and hundreds of schools of thought. He studied the profound meanings of classics. No one could compare with him at that time. Ren Zhilang was about twenty years old. During the Tianxing period, he served as secretary of the province and was changed to a writer. Taizu often placed him around him because he was good at calligraphy. In the later years of Taizu, the punishments were very harsh. Most of the courtiers in the palace were convicted for minor offenses. No one did not avoid hiding to avoid the current events. Cui Hao was alone in reverence and diligence, and sometimes he would not go home all day long. Taizu appreciated him and often ordered his porridge to be given to him. He is fair and upright, taking the current situation as his own responsibility, and does not change his ethics due to difficulties.
He is like this.
In the early years of Emperor Taizong's reign, he served as a doctor and offered wine, and was given the title of Wuchengzi. He often taught scriptures to Taizong. Whenever the emperor went to the countryside to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and father and son came together to attend the dynasty, people at the time thought it was a very honorable thing. Taisai liked the study of yin and yang, and when he heard Cui Hao's explanation of the Five Elements in "Book of Changes" and "Hong Fan", he thought it was very good, so he ordered Cui Hao to use yarrow to divine good and bad luck, observe celestial phenomena, and solve difficult problems. Cui Hao assessed the relationship between Tiandao and personnel and grasped the key points. His judgments often came true. He often participated in the plans to unify the army and govern the country, and was very popular. At that time, there was a rabbit in the harem. When he asked the gatekeepers, they all said that there was no place to enter the harem. Taizong felt strange and ordered Cui Hao to deduce that it would bring disaster. Cui Hao believed that it was a good sign that a neighboring country would contribute a concubine. The next year, Yao Xing really donated a woman.
In the second year of Shengrui, the autumn grain harvest was poor. Taishi ordered Wang Liang and Su Yuan to make a speech through Princess Huayin and others, saying that based on the prophecy, the country should build the capital Yeshan and enjoy happiness for fifty years, and persuaded Taizong to move the capital. Cui Hao and Te Jin turned to Zuo Shi and said: "Now that the country's capital is moved to Yecheng, it can save this year's famine, but it is not a long-term solution. People in Shubu Prefecture often think that the country is in a vast desert land, regardless of humans and animals. They are said to be as numerous as cattle. Now some people and animals are staying in the old capital and moving south. I am afraid that they cannot spread all over the land of various states. They are in the jungle and are not accustomed to the water and soil. If epidemic diseases occur and they are exposed, they will die. It makes the people depressed. When the neighbors know,
there will be contempt, and Qu Bei and Wei Wei will definitely come together to attack. Yunzhong and Pingcheng will be in danger. There are thousands of miles between Hengdai and Hengdai. They want to rescue, but it is difficult to arrive, which damages both their reputation and reality. Now in the north, if there is an unrest in the Taihang Mountains and Cambodia, Qingqi goes south and demonstrates in places where people gather. Who knows how many soldiers and horses there are? The people look away. This is a good strategy for the country to conquer the Central Plains with force. In the spring, there will be plenty of cheese and vegetables, and if there is a moderate harvest, the problem will be solved." Taizong thought that what they said was very correct. , said: "These two people are the only ones who agree with me." He also sent favored ministers to ask Cui Hao and Zhou Dan: "Now that we can barely survive until next autumn, what will we do if there is no harvest next autumn?" Cui Hao and others replied: "You can choose poor people to go to the prefectures and counties with a lot of grain to eat. If there is a famine next autumn, I hope to find ways to deal with it. But you can't move the capital." Taizong followed the suggestion and sent the people to the three prefectures east of the Taihang Mountains. To get food, they released grain from the official warehouse and gave it to them. There will be a bumper harvest next year. He was given to Cui Hao and Zhou Dan, each of his concubines, a set of royal robes, fifty pieces of silk, and fifty kilograms of cotton.
At first, one year before Yao Xing's death, Taishi reported: Mars was in the Paogua star and suddenly disappeared one night, not knowing where it was. Some people say that in a country that is in danger, nursery rhymes and lies will arise, and then disasters will be caused. Taizong was shocked when he heard this, so he summoned more than a dozen great scholars and ordered the historians to find out where Mars had gone. Cui Chazhuo said: "According to the Chunqiu Zuo Shi Zhuan, it is said that the god of heaven comes to Xindi. On the day when it arrives, everyone brings their own items to worship. Please guess where Mars is based on the date. In the evening of Gengwu Day, Xinmo Day In the morning, there are clouds in the sky. I am afraid that Mars will disappear within two days. Geng and Wei are in Qin, and Xin is in the western minority. Now Yao Xing has occupied Xianyang, which shows that Mars has already disappeared. Entering the fortress." Everyone said with serious expressions: "The stars are lost in the sky. How can people know where they are, but they say nonsense without any evidence." Cui Hao laughed and didn't answer. After more than eighty days, Mars indeed appeared in the Dongjing constellation and lingered there. There was a severe drought in Qinzhong and the red land was thousands of miles away. The water in Kunming Lake was exhausted. There were nursery rhymes and fairy tales, and the country was in turmoil. In the second year, Yao Xing died and his two sons fought. In the third year, the country was wiped out.
So everyone said in admiration: "It's not like us."
In the first year of Taichang, Sima Dezong's general Liu Yu conquered Yao Hong.
Shui The army swam from the Huai River into Qingshui, intending to go westward from the Yellow River, and borrowed a way from the country. Summon the ministers to discuss the matter. The ministers and ministers of the foreign dynasty all said: "Hangu Pass is known as a natural barrier. One man is in charge of the pass, and ten thousand men are not allowed to open it. How can Liu Yu's ships and infantry enter the pass? If we cover him from behind, his return will be difficult. If he reaches the north bank of the Yellow River, his actions will be easier. /p>
Lend him the water channel, but the enemy must not let it go. He should first send troops to block it in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and prevent it from going west." He also sent troops to the inner court
< p>The members of the Communist Party of China discussed this matter and had exactly the same opinions as those of the foreign ministers. Taizongplanned to adopt it. Cui Hao said: "It is not the best policy. Sima Xiuzhi
and others invaded his Jingzhou, Liu Yu has been gnashing his teeth and resenting him for a long time. Now
the dead son of Yao Xing is evil, To conquer the country while it is in danger, I think he must be a fierce and impatient man who does not consider the future disaster. If his route to the west is blocked, Liu Yu will definitely go ashore and invade from the north. This way, Yao Xing will be safe but we will be attacked. There is not enough food, so we cannot send troops. If we send troops to the south, the enemy from the north will attack. If we rescue the north, it will be in danger, so it is better to lend them.
< p>Liu Fang allowed him to advance westward, and then sent troops to block his return route. This is the so-called Bianzhuang stabbing the tiger, killing two birds with one stone. If Liu Yu wins, You must be grateful to us for borrowing the road; if Yao wins, he will not lose his reputation of rescuing his neighbors. Even if Liu Yu gets Guanzhong, it is far away and difficult to hold on. He can't. It is our territory that is ultimately ours. It is best to think about the country instead of sitting back and watching the success or failure of the two tigers., should choose profit
, how can we cherish marriage and give a woman as a reward
? If the country abandons the south of Danshan, Liu Deng will definitely not be able to mobilize
>The soldiers and horses in the Yuyue area competed with the government's troops north of the Yellow River
It is obvious that the planners also said: "Liu Yuxi entered.
If we go to Hangu Pass, we will have no way to advance or retreat, and we will be attacked from both sides. If we go north and go ashore, Yao Xun's army will definitely not go out of Hangu Pass to assist us. The situation determines the advance to the north. "Taizong then adopted the opinions of his ministers and sent his commander Sun Song to mobilize troops to stop him. They fought in Pancheng and were defeated by Manma. The generals Yu Chao defeated each other, and most of the soldiers were injured.
When Taizong heard the news, he regretted not using Cui Hao's strategy.
In the second year of Sima Dezong's reign, Wang Yilai, the governor of Qi County, surrendered and wrote a letter to offer advice, claiming that Liu Yu was in Luoyang and persuading the emperor to send troops to stop him
Road, you can defeat Liu Yu without fighting. The suggestion was submitted, and Taizong praised him.
When Cui Hao was explaining the classics in front, Taizong asked Cui Hao: "Liu
The vanguard of the two expeditions has arrived at Tongguan. How is this going?
>What do you think, can the matter be successful?" Cui Hao replied: "Going to Yao Xing has a good reputation, but it has no practical value.
He failed, and everyone rebelled. Liu Yu took advantage of his crisis, and his elite soldiers and generals were brave. In my opinion, he will definitely be able to defeat him." Taizong said: "Liu Yu's military ability is comparable to that of Liu Yu. How about Murong Chui?" Cui Hao said: "Liu Yu is better." Taizong said, "Let's talk about their situation." Cui Hao said: "Murong Chui. Relying on the capital of his father and grandfather as kings, he was born with nobility. His fellow tribesmen flocked to him, like moths flying to the firelight at night. A little reliance was enough to achieve meritorious service.
Liu Yu came from a poor and humble family, with no capital of a foot of land, and no reliance on the service of a single soldier. He shouted loudly and annihilated Huan Xuan, and captured Murong in the north.
Chao defeated Lu Xun and others in the south, and the puppet Jin Dynasty declined, so he took over the country
state power. If Liu Yu pacifies Yao Hong and returns, he will definitely usurp the throne. This is determined by the situation. The land of Qin was a mixed place of ethnic groups, a place of corruption and cruelty, and Liu Yu could not hold on to it. Customs are different, and human feelings are difficult to change. If you want to implement the education of Jingyang area in Sanqin area,
it is like wanting to fly without wings, or wanting to walk without feet. Possibly
. If an army is left to guard it, it will surely be exploited by the enemy. Confucius
said: A moral person who governs a country for a hundred years can prevent cruel people from doing evil
so the death penalty is abolished. How could Liu Yu do it in one or two years for the difficult-to-control Qin territory? For the time being, he could roll up his armor and organize the army, recuperate the people and defend the border, waiting for him When we return, the land of Qin will eventually be owned by our country and can be easily defended. "Taizong said: "Liu Yu has entered Hangu Pass and is in a dilemma. I sent elite cavalry south to attack Pengcheng and Shouchun. How can Liu Yu rely on him? Have you made any achievements with your own efforts?" Cui Hao said: "Now that the two enemies in the northwest have not been eliminated, Your Majesty cannot lead the army personally. Although the army is large in size, it does not have generals like Han Xin
Huang Qi. Once Wang Xie has the ability to govern the country but not the ability to attack, he is no match for Liu Yu. I thought I might as well hold off. "
Cese smiled and said: "You have already considered it maturely. Cui Hao said:
“I have measured modern figures in private, and I dare not not report it to the court.
For example, if the king is forced to govern the country, it is Da Zhong who is Jue Jian; if Murong Xuan Gong assists the young
monarch, it is Huo Li who stalks the chest; Si
Cao Cao of Ma Dezong. "Taizong said: "What do you think of the previous kings?" Cui Hao said: "I can see the sky, but how can I see the vastness of the sky? Even so, Taizu used the honest and simple people from the Mobei area to move south into the Central Plains, changed customs and customs, and spread his education all over the world. Naturally, he was on par with Fu
Xi Shennong. How could I It can be described. "Taizong said: "How about Qu Beggar?" Cui Hao said: "Qu Beggar's country has been destroyed, and he lives alone in a foreign country and is supported by the Yao family. He does not think about forming allies with his powerful neighbors,
revenges his shame, but instead builds resentment and betrays Yao Xing's kindness
Virtue, a violent villain, without a big plan, But he was so cruel that he was eventually destroyed by others. Taizong was very happy. He talked about it at midnight and gave Emperor Cui Hao ten glasses of mash wine and one tael of crystal clear Rong salt. He said: "I appreciate you." The words are like this salt wine, so I share their deliciousness with you. ”
In three years, the comet appeared in the Tianjin constellation, entered the Taiwei star,
passed the Big Dipper, circled the Ziweiyuan, and entered the Tianqiang constellation, more than eighty years
< p>Tian, ??disappeared after arriving at the Milky Way. Taizong once again summoned all the Confucian scholars and scholars to inquire about the matter and said: "Now the world is not unified, and the four directions are as high as mountains.There are disasters. In which country will it be fulfilled? I am very afraid of it.
Speak freely without any reservations. "They all unanimously recommended Cui Zao as the answer. Cui Hao said: "The ancients said that disasters are caused by people. Without human fault, disaster will not arise on its own. Therefore
When people make mistakes below, disasters and disasters appear above, and heaven reflects human affairs
The celestial phenomena that often occur remain unchanged for generations. "Deshu" records that before Wang Ling usurped the throne, the comings and goings of comets happened to be the same as now. Our country
The monarch is noble and his ministers are humble, the top and bottom are orderly, and the people have no intention of rebellion
. The pretense is weak and weak, the king is weak and the ministers are strong, and they have been declining for many generations. Therefore, they use treasures to seize the throne by force, and Shaxun holds power. Comet and star,
evil energy breeds, which is the reaction of the pseudo-Jin Dynasty to fall and Liu Yu usurping the throne.
"No one can change Cui Hao's opinion. Taizong thinks it is correct.
Five years later, Liu Yu deposed his monarch Sima Dewen
and established himself as monarch. A proclamation of amnesty issued by Liu Yu due to his change of reign was presented to the southern military town. At that time, Taizong had gone to the southeastern Xielu Pond to shoot crows. When he heard the news, he sent a post horse to summon Cui Hao and said to him: "The omen of the comet you said in the past years has come true. , I started to believe in the way of heaven from today.”
At first, Zao Zao’s father was seriously ill, so Cui Zao cut off his nails
and hair at night. In the courtyard, he prayed to the Big Dipper and the North Star, prayed for his father's life, begged to be replaced by himself, and kowtowed until blood flowed. He did this for more than a year, and few people in the family knew about it. When his father passed away, he performed funeral rites and was praised by people. The inherited title is Bai
Ma Gong. The etiquette of the imperial court, the proclamations of praise, policies and edicts, and the writings of commanding the army
and governing the country all passed through Cui Hao. Cui Hao was good at writing miscellaneous remarks, but was not good at writing articles, but he paid attention to the system, phonology and rhythm, and the study of Confucian classics. Compose the family sacrifice law, arrange the five sects, the etiquette of sacrifice, be frugal
appropriate, and have reasonable principles. I secretly dislike the books of "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi". I often put them down after reading less than a few dozen lines, saying: "These false preachings are not relevant." Human feelings must not have been written by Laozi. Lao Dan was well versed in the etiquette system, and Zhongni also followed it. How could he write books that corrupted common sense and harmed the teachings of the wise kings of the previous generation.
This is what Yuan Sheng said about the items in the woman's basket, which should not be publicized in the court.
Zuo Zong often suffered from minor illnesses. , strange things appeared many times, so he sent his ministers in the palace to secretly ask Cui Hao: "The Spring and Autumn Annals said: when a meteor appears at the Big Dipper, all the monarchs of the seven countries will have it." It's an unfortunate thing. This year, H food
appeared in the Wei constellation and Pleiades constellation, which completely corresponded to the Zhao Dynasty area. I was ill for a year, and the treatment did not alleviate the condition. I was worried that if I left the world,
In this life, the princes are all young, what should I do? Please think about my future affairs.
Cui Hao said: "Your Majesty will be prosperous in spring and autumn, and the emperor's career will be prosperous."
Sheng, cultivating virtue can eliminate disasters, and there is hope for gradual recovery. Moreover, the celestial phenomena that show
signs are high, some fade and some come true.
Cultivation of virtue after seeing disasters, May your Majesty eliminate all worries
Keep your mind at peace, keep your body comfortable, and enjoy happiness.
Don't be fooled by foolish preaching. It will damage your majesty's spirit. If you have to say it, please make unreasonable remarks. Since the rise of this dynasty, no attention has been paid to establishing a prince. Therefore, in the early years of Yongxing, The country is in danger. Now it is time to establish a prince as early as possible and select loyal people from among the ministers who have always been trusted by your majesty to serve as teachers. The honest and trustworthy ministers around you will be used as guests and friends, and you will be the prime minister of the DPRK. Wanji will be in charge of military and political affairs when abroad, and the power will be in your hands. You can be quiet and inactive, maintain your spirit, and use medicine. A hundred years later, when the country has an adult monarch and the people have their own surnames, bad people will be able to stop evil thoughts and evil thoughts. No one covets it. This is a good system for all generations and an important measure to prevent disasters. Now the eldest prince is twelve years old and is smart and gentle. p>
Being kind and modest is the basis of everyone's emotions, and ascending to the throne of prince in time is the luck of the world
It is an important principle of etiquette to establish the eldest son as prince.
. If you have to wait until they are adults before making a choice, upending the order of growth and development will have serious consequences. Historical records have shown that prosperity and decline have rarely been determined by this. "Taizong adopted his suggestion.
So Cui Hao was sent to write a memorial to the ancestral temple, and appointed Shizu as the deputy head of the country.
He stayed in the main hall to listen to the government. Situ Changsun Song and Shanyang
Gong Xijin and Beixin Public Security Bureau are both left assistants, sitting in the box facing west;
Cui Hao, Taiwei Mu Guan and Sanqi Chang The attendant Qiudui is on the right side, facing Shu
Sitting in the west chamber. All officials perform their duties and obey government orders.
Taizong took refuge in the West Palace and often observed them secretly. He was very happy to hear their decisions about government affairs. He said to the courtiers around him: "Changsun Song is an old and virtuous old man.
The minister served the four dynasties in turn and contributed to the preservation of the country; Xi Jinxiong
He was wise and well-known in debate; An Tong understood the world and was familiar with the world
things; Mu Guan understands the essentials of governance and understands my purpose; Cui Hao
Bojian Qiang remembers and is proficient in the relationship between heaven and man; although Qiu Dui does not have great talents
, but be attentive and respectful in handling official affairs. With the help of these six people, I will patrol the borders with you to attack the rebellious people. Those who are obedient can realize their ambition to unify the world. Ah." The ministers raised difficult questions from time to time, and Taizong said: "This is not something I know. It should be decided by your king."
< p>When he heard the news of Liu Yu's death, Taizong planned to capture Luoyang, Hulao and Huatai. Cui Hao said: "The emperor did not care about Liu Yu's outburst. He accepted his envoys and tributes, and Liu Yu also respectfully offered them to the emperor. Unfortunately, he is dead now, and he took advantage of others. Even if the expedition is successful, it will not be good. "Spring and Autumn": Jin State scholar Bei led the army to invade Qi State. Attackthe country that has lost its king, thinking that the kindness is enough to make the filial son grateful, and the morality is enough to move the princes. Today's country cannot calm down the Yangtze River in one fell swoop.
In the south, people should be sent to express condolences, comfort the helpless people, comfort the victims of disasters, and spread benevolence and righteousness. This is what virtuous people do. In this way, enlightenment spread throughout the Jingyang area, and the precious copper ivory feathers in the south could come without asking. Liu Yu had just died, but his party members did not betray him and sent troops to the Song Dynasty. The border of the country must be resisted one after another. Our army may not succeed. It is better to postpone the action and wait for their evildoing.
A profit will inevitably lead to chaos, and then the generals will be sent to show off the power of our army, but
we can obtain the land north of the Huai River without bothering the soldiers." Taizong decided to go south. Cui Hao asked Cui Hao: "Liu Yu took advantage of Yao Xing's death to destroy his country. I took advantage of Liu Yu's death to conquer the Song Dynasty. Why can't I do it?" Cui Hao said. Hao stubbornly said: "Yao Xing died, the two sons fought with each other, and Liu Yucai attacked him." Taizong was very angry and did not accept Cui Zao's opinion, so he sent Qiunan Expedition. Discussed in front of the supervising state
"Should we attack the city first? Or seize the territory first?" Xi Jin
said: "Please attack the city first." Cui Hao said: " The southerners are good at defending the city. The Fu family attacked Xiangyang and failed to capture it for a year. Now they use the strength of the big country to attack its small city. If they cannot capture it in time, they will < /p>
It will damage the military strength, and the enemy can calmly regroup. Our army
It is a dangerous way to exhaust the enemy's momentum, so it is better to divide the troops to seize the territory
, to the Huai River, set up county magistrates to collect rent
Valley. On the contrary, Huatai and Hulao are to the north of our army, and the rescue of the south will definitely be along the way. The Yellow River fled eastward. If you don't escape, it will be yours." Gongsun Biao asked to take the opponent's city first. Xi
Jin and others crossed the Yellow River and attacked the sliding platform first. However, they could not defeat it for a long time and asked for reinforcements
to the troops. Taizong was angry and went south to conquer the country himself. Cui Hao was appointed as the governor of Xiangzhou. He was also granted the title of Doctor Zuo Guanglu and served as the main planner with the army.
When the emperor returned to his army, Cui Hao followed Taizong to Xihe and Taiyuan.
I climbed a high mountain to rest, looked down at the water of the Yellow River, and watched the area that the water passed through.
I felt deeply about it, so I discussed with my colleagues about the five-level enfeoffment
and The rights and wrongs of the system of prefectures and counties, and the faults of Emperor Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of Han.
He loved ancient things and understood the policies and measures of governing the country. People at that time were convinced of his ideas. The Heavenly Master Kou Qianzhi often talked with Cui Hao and listened to him
talk about the deeds of the ancients in fighting chaos. He often stayed up all night and was respectful.
He looked dignified and did not slack off.
Then he praised him and said: "This person's kind words can be implemented in this way. He is today's Gao. It's just that the world values ??the ancient people and despises the modern people.
I can only understand him deeply." So he said to Cui Hao: "I practiced Taoism in seclusion
I ignored the affairs of the world, and suddenly I got the secret in my heart.
We should also study Confucianism to assist the wise monarchs in the peaceful and prosperous times, and inherit the system that has been interrupted for thousands of years. However, without the knowledge of ancient meanings,
it will be dark and unclear. You wrote for me the system of governing the country by ancient emperors in sections and analyzed its main points." Cui Hao then wrote more than 20 books, dating back to ancient times and down to the Qin and Han Dynasties. The deeds of decline,
The main meaning is to restore the fifth-class enfeoffment system as the foundation.
When Shidan came to the throne, people around him were concerned about Cui Hao's integrity, and they all slandered him
and ostracized him. Although Shizu was aware of his talent, he could not eliminate the public discussion, so he abandoned Cui Hao and made him return home as a duke. When there are difficult and unresolved disputes, call for consultation. Cui Haoxian
Slim, beautiful and white, like a beautiful woman. And by nature, he is witty and knowledgeable, and is good at planning and planning. He often compares himself to Zhang Liang, saying that he is better than him in studying ancient meanings. Since he was able to return home, he wanted to learn how to take elixirs and enter tranquility. Kou Qianzhi had the "New Classic of Recording Pictures in Shen Zhong", and Cui Hao therefore used him to Be a teacher.
In the Shiguang period: he was promoted to Duke Shujun and served as Taichang Qing. At this time, they discussed
the crusade against Helianchang. All the ministers thought it was difficult. Only Cui Hao said:
"In the past few years, Mars has resided in the Yulin star twice, and its circular path< /p>
The five stars of metal, wood, water, fire and earth appear in the east together this year, which is conducive to the westward expedition.
Heaven and man respond accordingly, opportunities are gathered together, don't miss them." Shizu then sent Xi Jin and others to attack Pu Ban, and personally led his Qingqi to attack his capital, and captured a large number of them. Return to the teacher. When Shizu attacked Helianchang again, he reached his capital and gathered his troops to pretend to retreat. He Lianchang beat the drum and advanced with a shout, and the formation was divided into two wings. There happened to be wind and rain coming from the southeast, and the sky was filled with dust and the sky was dark. The eunuch Zhao Ni Jinyan said:
"Now the wind and rain are coming from behind the rebel army. We are facing the wind and the rebel army has the wind at their back.
The sky will not help me. Moreover, the soldiers are hungry and thirsty. Please withdraw your troops. We'll make plans later." Cui Hao rebuked him loudly and said, "What are you talking about! If you don't come thousands of miles to defeat the enemy, how can you change it in one day?
The vanguard of the rebel army has been marching continuously and has separated from the follow-up troops.
The army should be assigned to march in covert manner and attack unexpectedly.
Use the method of wind. How can people remain unchanged?" Shizu said: "That's right." He dispatched cavalry to attack vigorously, but He Lianchang was defeated.
At first, Taizu ordered Shangshulang Deng Yuan to write more than ten volumes of "Records of the Kingdom" in a chronological style, but the style was incomplete. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, we paused. In the second year of the Shenting reign, the imperial edict was issued to gather scholars to compile the history of the country. Cui Hao
and his younger brothers Cui Lan, Gao Chan, Deng Ying, Chao Ji, Fan Heng, Huang Fu, etc.
* ** participated in the process and completed thirty volumes of "Book of China".
This year, there were discussions about the attack, and officials from both the inner court and the outer court were unwilling to go out. Empress Dowager Bao insisted on stopping Shizu, but Shizu did not listen
, only Cui Hao assisted and contributed to the strategy. Shangshu ordered Liu Jie and Zuo
Pu Shexuanli instigated Huangmen Shilang Bao Man to recommend Zhouj Louzhou
Taishi Zhang Yuan and Xu Bian advised Shizu: "This year It is the year of Ji Si, which belongs to the year of Three Yins. The year star covers the moon, and the Taibai Star is in the west, so soldiers cannot be used. The Northern Expedition will definitely fail. Even if it wins, it will not be beneficial to the monarch. "
The officials also agreed with Zhang Yuan and others, saying that Zhang Yuan once advised Fu Jian
not to march south when he was young. Fu Jian did not listen and was defeated. How can we act when there is a discord between people today? Shizu couldn't make up his mind, so he summoned Cui Hao and ordered him to debate with Zhang Yuan and others.
Cui Zao rebutted Zhang Xuan and said: "Yang means benevolence; Yin means punishment and death. Therefore, the Lt eclipse must perfect virtue and the lunar eclipse
p>Perfect punishment. If the emperor uses punishment, his body will be laid out in the wilderness; if he does a small punishment, his body will be left in the court. This is how it is said. p>Later, the use of troops in the year of three yins roughly falls into this category, which means perfecting the punishment
When the stars cover the moon and the crops fail, the people go into exile. This is fulfilled
In other countries, it will not be more than twelve years at the latest. The Taibai Star moves in Cangsu, which belongs to the east astronomically. It does not hinder the Northern Expedition.
Mediocre scholars, shallow and vulgar. , stick to the divination of yin and yang, do not understand the big body, and are not qualified to participate in far-reaching plans. I have observed the celestial phenomena. In recent years, the movement of the moon has obscured the Pleiades, and it still does so today. .
This indicates: 'Within three years, the emperor will destroy the country with disheveled hair like a yak
. The people. A wise monarch rules the world and is capable of extraordinary things. As the ancients said: 'In the remote and unfamiliar wilderness, the people are afraid. If you get it, the world will be peaceful and happy. May your majesty not hesitate." Zhang Yuan and others said with shame: "Wuiwei, it is a useless thing outside Bahuang. The land cannot be cultivated, and those who plunder it
The people cannot surrender. They move around quickly and have no fixed residence.
It is difficult to control. Why is there any need to mobilize troops?" Cui Hao said:
"Zhang Yuan talks about the weather, which is within his responsibilities. If he talks about the situation, it is not something he can see. This is a commonplace in Modai
< p>Talk, it is inappropriate to use it today. Why do you say this? wormCruel, originally a slave who defected from the north of the country, now eradicates its chief culprits and takes in its good people. , it is not useless to let them continue to work in the past. The land north of the desert is high and the sky is cool, and mosquitoes do not grow. The water is beautiful and the grass is fertile, making it suitable for living in summer. It is not impossible to make a living by farming and herding on this land. The children of Xixiao came to submit, the noble ones married princesses, and the humble ones became generals and officials, filling the court.
The official ranks, and the high chariot is known as the famous horse, so it is not impossible to surrender and standby
If you use southerners to chase it, you will worry about its quick action
< p>Speedly, this is not the case for our army. Why? It can escape from a distance, and I can pursue it from a distance, and it is not difficult to control it as it advances and retreats.
Moreover, Weiwei has repeatedly invaded our country in the past, and the officials and people were shocked. If we don't take advantage of this summer to invade and destroy the country, he will come again in the autumn. We can't sleep peacefully from the Taizong Dynasty to the present. , there is no year that does not shock people, how can we not be anxious! Most people say that Zhang Yuan and Xu Bian are proficient in magic and know success or failure. I asked them for advice and asked them if there were any signs of defeat before their country was reduced. If you know but don't tell, it is disloyal
Sincerity; if you don't know, you are ignorant. "At this time, He Lianchang was also present. Zhang Yuan and others were blushing with shame because they had not said anything before. Their faces were red and could not answer. Shizu was very happy and said to the ministers: < /p>
“I am determined. You can't make grand plans with the grand master who has subjugated the country.
That's true!" But Empress Dowager Bao still felt that it was difficult to deal with the matter.
She also ordered the ministers to come to the Empress Dowager Bao for deliberation. Shizu said to Cui Hao: "This man's heart is still not convinced. Please give him a good warning to wake him up." "
After retreating from the court, some people criticized Cui Hao and said: "Now the bandits in Wu region are invading the southern part of our country, but they ignore it and carry out the Northern Expedition. Marching thousands of miles, who would not know. If you squirm and flee, you will gain nothing if you go forward
But you have to worry about the southern rebel army behind you, which is a dangerous path. "
Cui Hao said: "That's not the case. If we don't destroy the creeps this year, we won't be able to defend against the southern rebel army.
Since the country annexed the Xia Kingdom, the southerners were fearful and threatened to mobilize troops to defend the area north of the Huai River.
By the time he went north, I had already returned south. It was inevitable that he would be tired and I would be at ease.
When you defeat Wei Wei, you will definitely not see him coming back and forth. Why
Why do you say this? Liu Yu took Guanzhong and left behind his beloved son.
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers, good generals and elite soldiers, but they still could not hold it and the whole army was overthrown
No. The sound of crying continues to this day. How come in an era when our country's domestic affairs are stable and our troops and horses are strong, we want to use calves to block the tiger's mouth? If the country gives him the area south of the Yellow River, He definitely won't be able to hold on. Knowing that I can't hold on, I will definitely not come. If there is an army, it is just an army to deal with border defense. When you see the frozen water in a bottle, you know the coldness in the world; when you taste a piece of meat, you know the taste of the cauldron. There are similarities between things, and the answer can be obtained by inference. Moreover, Weiwei relied on its extremely remote location and thought that the power of the country could not reach it. He had been comforting himself for a long time, so he dispersed his tribe to graze livestock in summer and fatten horses in autumn.
They gathered again, turned their backs to the cold and faced the warmth, and went south to plunder. Now take them by surprise
and attack them unprepared. The sudden appearance of the army will surely scare the stars
and cause them to flee. The male horses protect the herd, and the female horses fall in love with their children, running in a panic
But they are difficult to control, and they cannot get water and grass. In a few days, they will be sleepy
and gather together exhausted. Can be wiped out in one fell swoop. Once and for all
It will benefit you in the long run. This opportunity is not to be missed. I'm just worried that the emperor has no such plan. Now that the emperor has made up his mind to formulate an unprecedented strategy, why should he stop it? You are short-sighted, ministers!" The troops then
p>
Moving forward, Diuji said to Cui Zao: "How is this action? Can it really be conquered?" Cui Zao replied: "It depends on the weather and strength.
However, there is no doubt that it will be conquered. I only worry that the generals are mediocre and ignorant, looking forward and backward, and will not be able to take advantage of the victory to penetrate deeply or win completely. ”
When the army entered the territory of Xingxing, Xingxing did not arrange defenses
in advance. The people and animals were all over the field, running away in fear, unable to gather to help each other
So. The troops were divided into searches and expeditions, spanning five thousand miles from east to west and three thousand miles from north to south. All the prisoners and captured livestock, vehicles and tents filled the mountains and fields, and there were probably millions of them. After killing the Weiwei tribe, more than 300,000 people surrendered. The Shizu went west along the Ruowui River and arrived at Zhuoxie Mountain. As expected, the generals went deep into the meeting. There were ambushes, and he advised Shizu to stop and not pursue. The Heavenly Master used Cui Hao's previous words and insisted on persuading Shizu to attack with all his strength, but he was not accepted. >
The people who surrendered said that Da Tan was already sick and at a loss what to do, so he burned his tent, took a small car without a cover, and led hundreds of people into the mountain to pay homage.
< p>Fleeing south. The embarrassment of people and animals gathered together, but there was no one to lead within a radius of 60 milesThe distance was 180 miles, and the pursuers could not reach it, so they slowly headed west
Fleeing, only this group of people was able to escape. Later, I heard from the Hu people doing business in Liangzhou that if they marched forward for two days, they could all be wiped out. Regretful about this. After the army returned, the rebel army in the south did not take action, just as Cui Hao had expected.
Cui Hao was knowledgeable about celestial phenomena and could observe changes in the stars. Gold, silver and copper strips were often placed in wine vessels to make them black. If they found anything at night, they would use them to draw and write on paper to record the abnormalities in the stars.
Every time Shisu comes to Shouzhuo's house, he often asks questions that are difficult to understand.
Sometimes he is too busy to dress up his clothes and prepare meals.
Taking care of the exquisiteness, Shizu picked up the spoon and chopsticks for him, and sometimes stood and tasted them before returning. He was so favored that Cui Hao came in and out. In the bedroom, he was awarded the title of Shizhong, Tejin, General Fujun, and Doctor Zuoguang to reward the merits of planning. The ancestor said calmly to Cui Hao: "You are talented and wise." Yuan Bo, who serves my father and ancestors and has been loyal for three generations, I specially recruit you to get close to you.
Consider trying your best to persuade and help me, and don't hide your true feelings. Although I was angry at the time, I might not have adopted it. How can I not think deeply about your words over time? ”
Then he ordered the singers to praise the ministers one by one, which happened in "The Biography of Changsun
Daosheng". He also summoned hundreds of newly surrendered chiefs of the Gaoche tribe
< p>People were given wine and food in front of them. The ancestor pointed Cui Hao to them and said: "Look at this man, he is thin and weak, and his hand cannot bend a bow to hold a spear. He What is hidden in the heart is better than a soldier in armor. Although I initially had plans to conquer, I couldn't make up my mind. I won successively because of this person who enlightened me and brought things to this point. "So he ordered the ministers of each ministry to say: "Any important strategy for commanding the army and governing the country that you cannot decide, consult Cui Hao first, and then implement it. ”
