After more than a month, the Han soldiers arrived at the border, and the Xiongnu also retreated far away, so the Han soldiers stopped. Then he worshiped Zhou Yafu as lieutenant.
(Note: Garrisoning for more than three days is called "time".)
[Explanation]
In winter, the Huns invaded Shangjun with 30,000 cavalry; In Zhongjun, the killings and looting were very fierce, and the alarm beacons continued continuously, leading directly to Ganquan and Chang'an. Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty sent the central official Ling Shen to garrison Feihu as the general of chariots and cavalry, sent the former Chu Prime Minister Su Yi to garrison as the general Juzhu, sent general Zhang Wu to garrison the north, sent Hanoi prefect Zhou Yafu to garrison in Xiliu, and sent Zongzheng Liu Li as the general to garrison Ba. He sent Xu Li, Marquis of Zhuzi, as a general to garrison at Jimen to prevent the Huns from invading Kyoto.
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty personally mobilized his troops, passed through the Bashang and Jimen troops, and drove in directly without any obstruction. The generals were all respectful to greet him. When I arrived at the Xiliu Army, the officers and soldiers were wearing armor, holding weapons, bows and arrows. The emperor's leading guard arrived and refused to enter the gate of the military camp. The guard said: "The emperor is coming soon." The guard sergeant said: "Our general has orders. In the army, we only obey the general's orders and not the emperor's edict." After a while, Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty arrived and was not allowed to enter. So Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to see Zhou Yafu with a handwritten order, and Zhou Yafu sent an order to open the wall door. At this time, the guards at the Bimen asked the drivers to drive slowly, and the troops were not allowed to drive. Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty ordered the driver to walk slowly. When he arrived at the military camp, General Zhou Yafu bowed to the emperor with his sword and said: "Put on your armor and don't bow down anymore. I salute you with military salutes." Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was very moved and changed the original ceremony. He straightened up and supported the chariot with his hands. On the tree, he expressed his respect and sent someone to inform him: "Your Majesty is here to express his condolences." He completed the ceremony and left. After leaving the army gate, the ministers were surprised, but the emperor said: "Oh! This is the real general! It's like child's play to go to Bashang and Jimen to work the army. These generals can be attacked and captured. As for General Zhou Yafu, How can you be attacked?" He praised for a long time. After more than a month, the Han soldiers arrived at the border, and the Huns soldiers left the pass, but the Han soldiers gave up pursuit. So Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty promoted Zhou Yafu to the rank of lieutenant in charge of public security in the capital.
[Comments]
Zhou Yafu was strict in running the army, and even the emperor was no exception. It can be said that he was quite strict.
In the word "strict", the most important thing is to be strict with others and be lenient with yourself; or be strict with others and be lenient with others. Because this is not the real "strictness", but the fake "strictness". This kind of false "strictness" is harmful to others, to oneself, to superiors and to subordinates. Just as Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty commented: "It's all a joke." The same person may be a good person for a while and a bad person for another time.
Isn’t it just like playing child’s play? Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty's comments were vivid and vivid, which showed that Zhou Yafu was truly strict in running the army. Not only did he not blame him, but he also discovered talents through this incident and promoted them. 9. Xiliuying Translation of Extracurricular Reading of Classical Chinese

The troops from Laojun, Zhiba Shang and the Thornymen army galloped straight in and sent the following riders to greet them. The willow army is now thin. The soldiers are wearing armor, have sharp swords, and are full of bows and slaves.
/p>
There is nowhere to live, even if it reaches the top, it cannot be entered. So Shangnai sent an envoy and ordered the general: "I want to enter the camp and work for the army."
Yafunai spread the word: "Open the gate." The gatekeeper invited the chariots and riders and said, "General, make an appointment: Army You can't drive in the middle."
So the emperor pressed the bridle and walked slowly. When they arrived at the camp, General Yafu bowed with his troops and said: "If you don't bow to me, please show me military salutes."
The emperor took action and changed the appearance of the chariot to make people thank him: "The emperor respects the general. . "Leave as a gift.
As soon as he left the army, all the officials were shocked. He said: "Hey, this is a true general! In the past, when the superiors were overlords, the Thornmen army was just playing tricks on their ears, so their generals could attack and capture them.
As for Yafu, he can attack them if he can!" "Those who are praised for their good deeds will endure for a long time. After more than a month, the Han soldiers arrived at the border, and the Xiongnu also retreated far away, so the Han soldiers stopped.
He worshiped Zhou Yafu as lieutenant. (Note: Garrisoning for more than three days is "time".)
[Explanation] In winter, 30,000 Xiongnu cavalry invaded Shangjun, and 30,000 Xiongnu cavalry invaded Zhongjun. They killed and looted fiercely, and the alarm and beacon fire continued continuously. Ganquan, Chang'an. Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty sent the central official Ling Shen to garrison Feihu as the general of chariots and cavalry, sent the former Chu Prime Minister Su Yi to garrison as the general Juzhu, sent general Zhang Wu to garrison the north, sent Hanoi prefect Zhou Yafu to garrison in Xiliu, and sent Zongzheng Liu Li as the general to garrison Ba. He sent Zhuzi Hou Xu Li as a general to garrison at Jimen to prevent the Huns from invading Kyoto.
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty personally mobilized his troops, passed through the Bashang and Jimen troops, and drove in directly without any obstruction. The generals were all respectful to greet him. When I arrived at the Xiliu Army, the officers and soldiers were wearing armor, holding weapons, bows and arrows.
The emperor's leading guard arrived and was not allowed to enter the gate of the military camp. The guard said: "The emperor is coming soon."
The guard sergeant said: "Our general has orders. In the army, we only obey the general's orders and not the emperor's edict." After a while, Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty arrived and was not allowed to enter.
So Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to see Zhou Yafu with a handwriting, and Zhou Yafu sent an order to open the wall door. At this time, the guards at the Bimen asked the drivers to drive slowly, and the troops were not allowed to drive.
Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty ordered the driver to walk slowly. When he arrived at the military camp, the general Zhou Yafu bowed to the emperor with his sword and said: "Put on your armor and don't bow down anymore. I salute you with military salutes."
"Emperor Han Wen was very moved and changed the original ceremony. He straightened up and put his hands on the wood of the cart to show respect, and sent someone to inform him: "Your Majesty is here to express his condolences." He completed the ceremony and left.
After leaving the army gate, the ministers were surprised, but the emperor said: "Oh! This is the real general! It's like child's play to go to Bashang and Jimen to work the army. These generals can be attacked and captured. As for General Zhou Yafu, How can you be attacked?" He praised for a long time.
More than a month later, the Han soldiers arrived at the border. The Huns soldiers left the pass, but the Han soldiers gave up pursuit. So Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty promoted Zhou Yafu to the rank of lieutenant in charge of public security in the capital.
[Comment] Zhou Yafu was very strict when he was running the army, and even the emperor was no exception. He was very strict. In the word "strict", the most important thing is to be strict with others and be lenient with others; or be strict with others and be lenient with others.
Because this is not the real "strictness", but the fake "strictness". This kind of false "strictness" is harmful to others, to ourselves, to superiors and to subordinates.
Just as Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty commented: "It's all a joke." The same person may sing a red face for a while, and a bad face for another time.
Isn’t it just like playing child’s play? Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty's comments were vivid and vivid, which showed that Zhou Yafu was truly strict in running the army. Not only did he not blame him, but he also discovered talents through this incident and promoted them.
