Chapter 302: Waiting for the Monarch to Return
In November, the Liangzhou rebels made a comeback, gathered an army of 50,000, and entered Kou Chencang.
Chen Cang's guard general hurriedly asked for help in Chang'an, and Zhang Wen learned that the rebels were coming, so he gathered his troops and horses in the starry night and rushed to Chen Cang for reinforcements.
The arrival of the Han army made the rebels not dare to act rashly for a while, and camped ten miles away from Chencang to observe the movement.
At this time, the climate gradually becomes cold, and you can see the white breath exhaled from your mouth when you speak in the morning and evening.
After more than ten days of confrontation, on a quiet night, a meteor streaked across the sky, shining into the rebel camp, and donkeys and horses neighed.
The rebels saw this as a bad omen and prepared to retreat.
After obtaining Zhang Wen's consent, Dong Zhuo and LΓΌ Bu each led 3,000 horsemen to fight from the left and right flanks, defeated the rebels, and beheaded more than 1,000.
Bian Zhang and Han Sui, who were in charge of the command of the army, suffered a great defeat and had to retreat west into Yuzhong in Jincheng County.
The siege of Chencang was lifted after only half a month.
At this time, a fierce debate broke out in the Luoyang court.
Situ Cuilie advised to give up Liangzhou, and only need to guard the land of Guanzhong, which was opposed by a large number of courtiers. This matter was rumored by the government and the opposition, and Cui Lie spent five million money to buy the position of the third prince before, which caused the world's corporal to criticize and criticize.
Since then, Cui Lie's fame has gradually receded.
Since we are unwilling to give up Liangzhou, we have to re-deploy our strategy.
The imperial court recalled Zhang Wen, who had failed in the battle, and sent a new Liangzhou assassin, Geng Despise.
At this time, the situation of the Southern Xiongnu in the Shuofang area of Bingzhou was turbulent, and Lu Bu was urgently needed to return to the town. In addition to General Duliao, LΓΌ Bu was also the general of the Xiongnu, and it was also his duty to maintain the stability of the Southern Xiongnu.
Zhang Wen and Lu Bu walked back and forth, and the heavy responsibility of guarding the pass naturally fell on Dong Zhuo's head.
This also laid the foundation for a catastrophe in the future.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
And the state, Gohara County.
On the day Yan Xin received Lu Bu's letter, he began to get busy. It can be seen that the young county guard is particularly happy, and he is full of energy.
Tens of thousands of Qiang people are not a small number, and if they are not well settled, they are very likely to have conflicts and contradictions with the local Han people.
This is a great test of the administrative planning ability of the county guard, so Yan Xin also summoned all the county orders in the county to the county seat, and discussed it for several days before deciding on a more stable plan.
On the other hand, due to Lu Bu's name in the letter, Gao Shun, who was in charge of guarding along the way, led the trapping camp, as well as two thousand well-trained Yellow Turban soldiers, embarked on a journey to the north.
After more than two months of migration, it finally lived up to the trust of escorting this large group of Qiang people to the territory of Wuyuan safely.
Yan Xin arranged the Qiang people in Xi'anyang and Chengyi counties, as well as a small part of the area north of the Hetao, where the Dongqiang people and the Han people lived together for many years, and basically everyone could speak Chinese, so there was no need to worry about language communication barriers.
In addition, Yan Xin also allocated tens of thousands of stones of grain to the Qiang people. In this day and age, it is impossible to eat enough at once, and with this food, at least you will not faint from hunger.
In terms of local administration, Yan Xin removed the county orders of Xi'anyang and Chengyi counties, and replaced them with people recommended by the Qiang people and elected from within them to govern the local area.
This made the Qiang people's good impression of this young county guard rise.
As the leader of this trip, the Great Elder thought of many plans and rhetoric to fight for the rights and interests of the Qiang people on the way here. However, now it seems that only Yan Xin's open-mindedness makes the old man feel ashamed.
Even if the power is stripped by the descendants of the clan, the Great Elder still has a very high prestige among the Qiang people.
He named the names of the two Qiang people and reported them to Yan Xin.
In the eyes of tens of thousands of expectations, Yan Xin appointed these two people as the county magistrates of Xi'anyang and Chengyi respectively on the spot, which won the shouts and cheers of the Qiang people.
In this situation, the Great Elder couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, and sighed: "Today's Han boys, all of them are amazing." β
The Qiang people's autonomy is an extremely risky plan in the eyes of others.
Yan Xin thought otherwise, as Xi Ce said, as long as the army was in his own hands, the Qiang people would not be able to make too many waves.
Today, the military strength of Wuyuan County, compared with other counties and counties in the state, is completely worthy of the word strong.
Eight hundred traps, two thousand wolf riders, four thousand flying horses trained by Wei Musheng, plus more than 1,000 soldiers in this county.
The Han military camp has a clear rule that if there is no war in the prefecture and county, the strength of each prefecture and county must be controlled within 8,000.
As for the 9,800 Yellow Turban soldiers who moved from Yingchuan, they were not counted in the establishment and could be regarded as a private force. Wuyuan practiced a military cantonment system, and they served as the majority of laborers.
Just in case, Yan Xin gave them all the Wuyuan household registration, and when they got it, people with ulterior motives came to find fault, saying that Lu Bu was secretly raising troops and plotting against him.
At first, I did think about the plan to fill the barracks entirely, but after discussion, I gave up.
First, the military regulations do not allow it, and second, there are so many non-commissioned soldiers that the expenses are huge, and with the current productive forces of the five originals, they simply cannot afford to support them, otherwise they would not have implemented the military cantonment.
In addition, a large number of war horses and equipment have been invested in the Dongqiang people in the past two months, and there is not much left of the war horses and weapons originally collected from the Xianbei people.
War, equipment, and training are the most costly and costly of all.
On the outer wall of the county town of Wuyuan, there are two figures on the city tower, one high and one low.
"I'm afraid of the cold and come out, really." The young man in the thick coat poured a sip of wine, and there was a slight whisper in his mouth.
Drama hunched over, shrunk his body, put his hands into his sleeve robe, and his whole body, only an ordinary thin face was exposed.
"When I first came to Gohara, the county town was dilapidated and lifeless. The people in the city are like lonely ghosts wandering in the city, and it is also winter, they are barefoot, just walking, and they don't feel cold...... "Watching the young man drink, Xi Ce swallowed his throat unconsciously, and slowly recalled, his tone was full of sorrow.
The young man threw the wine gourd to Xi Ce, and the white fox showed an impatient look on his face: "Stop, stop, I don't want to listen to you, I feel like an old man at a young age, and I am bored." β
"It's boring, you still run with me every day." Xi Ce asked with a smile, he took a sip of wine after catching the wine gourd, and in an instant, a warm current flowed down his throat and entered the internal organs.
It felt like a fire was rising in the stomach, warm.
"Don't let me follow you, yes! Let me go, I, Guo Fengxiao, promise that I will never set foot in this ghost place again in this life. β
"Don't mind, how many beautiful women are waiting for you to save. Gao Yang's Nizi is very good, you have to be thoughtful, I'll match it for you, how about it? β
"Xi Zhicai, do you know, your current appearance is very obscene."
"Bah, don't talk nonsense, I'm a righteous gentleman who guards himself like jade."
"Stinky and shameless!"
The two had a verbal battle, and no one could help anyone.
At this time, a woman in swaddling clothes walked out of the city and stopped by the frozen river ahead.
"Hey, sometimes I envy this guy Lu Bu, who can marry such a good wife." Guo Jia sighed, he had been here for a whole year, and as long as he climbed the city wall at sunset in the afternoon, he would definitely be able to see Yan Wei carrying the little guy on her back, waiting for her husband to return by the river.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the day never sets.
"It's really persistent."
Guo Jia heard the story of Yan Wei and Lu Bu from Xi Ce, and he admired this daughter of a family who pursued happiness and dared to resist.
Thinking of this, Guo Jia retracted his gaze, glanced at the young man beside him, and teased: "Xi Zhicai, you are not too young, is it possible that you still want to wait until the woman you like to get married?" β
"Love, love, not for people like us." Mentioning this topic, Xi Ce's eyes showed a little sadness, and he shook his head slightly.
Every time you slaughter more dogs, you are all readers.
"So how long are you going to play this game, ten, twenty, or thirty?"
Guo Jiayu took a sip of wine, and on the way back from Yingchuan, Xice adopted nearly 100 orphans along the way, and returned to Bingzhou to train quietly. These children have learned more than even the training program of the Wolf Riding Camp.
I am afraid that such painstaking efforts are for the sake of the future as a dark room.
As if he hadn't heard, he looked at the sky, stretched out his hand, and a piece of pure white goose feathers fell into his palm.
It's snowing.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and soon the earth was clothed in plain white.
The woman standing by the river looked into the distance, her beautiful eyes seemed to be expecting something, and she was stunned, and her daughter lying on her back fell asleep soundly, and there was a slight sound of breathing.
Husband, did you hear that?
Even if it's snowing all over the world,
Even if the migratory birds have flown south,
There are also concubines and Ling'er,
Over here
Waiting for you to return.
