Chapter 449: Wind and Rain Merge States (5)
When Fan Yong in Jinyang City was thinking, Zhao Yun's army also arrived in Zishi County. When the vanguard appeared under the city, Zi was also ready for battle.
However, in the face of absolute strength, the short city walls of the Zi clan are indeed powerless. Although the guards have been insisting, under the siege of the Qingzhou armor, the Zi clan soon collapsed.
Tian Yu captured the guard who had been resisting and was injured and sent it to the tent, Zhao Yun looked the enemy general up and down, and the enemy general also looked at Zhao Yun viciously. Zhao Yun said with a smile: "The king has arrived, are you willing to surrender?" ”
The enemy general snorted when he heard this, but he did not say a word. Zhao Yun suddenly changed color and said, "Push it out and cut it!" ”
Suddenly, a bloody head was offered, and from beginning to end, the enemy was about to be beheaded without saying a word. Zhao Yun sighed: "The martyr of the Yuan family can also be buried thickly!" ”
After Anmin was finished, Zhao Yun took Tian Yu and Zhang Liao to the sheep intestine warehouse, and when they opened it, they were disappointed. It's basically empty, and the rest is just some tatters that can't be looked down on by high-ranking cadres.
Zhao Yun couldn't hide the disappointment on everyone's faces, and couldn't help laughing: "Gao Gan is out on the expedition, how can he leave a full warehouse of military funds here?" ”
Everyone thought about it. Zhang Liao said with a smile: "With land and people, are you still afraid of dissatisfaction with the warehouse?" ”
Everyone laughed and talked for a while, and then entered the county seat of Zishi again. On this day, Zhao Yun had finished his rest and was about to lead the army to pull out, when suddenly, a messenger came from outside the city, saying that he was ordered by Guan Hai. Zhao Yun knew that Guan Hai was the confidant in charge of the intelligence system under the command of the lord Liu Bei, so he didn't dare to slack off when he heard it, and he hurriedly ordered someone to pass it in. After the messenger came in, he met Zhao Yun, and then presented a letter with both hands, saying: "General Zhao, a certain envoy was sent by the commander to send a letter from Taihang, and asked General Zhao to check it." ”
Zhao Yun took the letter, saw that the fire seal was complete, and then picked it open, took out the letter and read it carefully, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said to the generals: "Guorang, Wenyuan, although the sheep intestine warehouse is empty, the big fish is in Jinyang City." It can really be said that it is a lost corner of the harvest of mulberry elm. Come, come, and see. ”
Tian Yu and Zhang Liao took the letter, and when they saw it, they were all smiling. Especially Zhang Liao, his family was originally a big family of Mayi, although it was not like Fan, Wang, Liang and other merchant families to smuggle on a large scale, but they secretly did not do less business without capital. Zhang Liao, who has been exposed to it since childhood, immediately concluded that what was said in the letter was true.
So Zhang Liao immediately said to Zhao Yun: "General, without further ado, I must quickly surround Jinyang City to avoid changes." ”
Zhao Yun smiled: "It should be like this." So he ordered Zhang Liao to be the leader, himself to be the Chinese army, and Tian Yu to be the merger, and the three armies moved together, all the way from Zishi to Benjinyang.
The letter was written by Zhang Yan. Hearing that Zhao Yun had won successive battles all the way, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and he hit the Zi clan directly, Zhang Yan was envious in his heart, so he hurriedly told Zhao Yun in detail about the situation in Jinyang City. And told Zhao Yun that he was ordered to attack and harass the state, and it was too good for the troops to go out, but the smugglers in Jinyang City found the door again, and without saying a word, they used money to smash people, wanting to buy a way out of the jam. He estimated that there were ghosts in Jinyang City, so he kept collecting money, but he was delaying and not doing anything. By the way, the troops were sent to block the Taihang Mountain Road, and now as long as General Zhao surrounds Jinyang City, it is estimated that those smugglers in the city will be unable to escape.
Smugglers, generals in the border area, are no strangers to the term. They both hate and rely on smugglers. He hated the smugglers for bringing supplies to his enemies and strengthening them. Sometimes they have to rely on intelligence information brought back by smugglers. What's more, when the imperial court was in arrears, those bold border generals simply colluded with the smugglers.
Therefore, there are very complicated reasons why smugglers have been repeatedly banned by the imperial court.
Zhao Yun is also no stranger to smugglers, when he was in the army in Youzhou, he often went with Gongsun Zhan to rob smugglers. Gongsun Zhan hated Hu to the bone, and he even dared to rob the Hu merchants in the vertebera who were personally ordered to be opened by Liu Yu, the Mu of Youzhou, not to mention the smugglers who did not dare to surface. In the eyes of smugglers, Youzhou Gongsun Zhan is a name more feared than horse bandits. The robbers also know the truth of fishing when they dry up, as long as they don't resist, they will collect some money and send it away. But if it falls into the hands of Gongsun Zhan, it will be the end, everyone wants money and goods, and everyone will be killed. It doesn't make sense at all. It's terrible. So a few years ago, as soon as Gongsun Chan died, the smugglers in the two states were all breathing a sigh of relief, and if there were firecrackers, I was afraid that they would set off firecrackers to congratulate them.
While Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan were staring at Jinyang City at the same time, Lu Bu here also entered Xihe County, and he was about to arrive in Meiji County.
Meiji, where the court of the Southern Xiongnu is located, is the seat of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General of the Han Empire. Lu Bu is no stranger to this place, after all, as soon as Meiji goes up again, he will arrive at Wuyuan County, which is Lu Bu's hometown.
The current Southern Xiongnu are left after the Southern Xiongnu split again. It's a bit of a twist to say. Here's how it happened. In the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu Hu Han Evil Shan Yu and his brother Zhi Zhi Shan Yu competed, and as a result, Hu Han Evil lost and came to surrender to the Han Dynasty, which was the first time that the Xiongnu were divided into the North and South Xiongnu. The Han Dynasty accepted a little brother, of course, he had to take the lead in the demeanor of a big brother, so he said to the Southern Xiongnu that Han Xie Shan Yu said, don't worry, I will avenge you. So he sent troops on an expedition, and Zhi Zhidan, who was invincible in the Western Regions, moved west in tears. Without the enemy, Hu Han was worried about the grassland in Mobei, so he left the embrace of the Han Dynasty and went to the grassland.
As a result, not long after the good days, the Huns began to kill each other again. This time, Hu Han Evil Shan Yu's grandson Ri Zhuwang failed to do anything to others, so he had to learn from his grandfather's actions, and led his troops to surrender to the Han Dynasty by drawing a gourd. This is really a dragon giving birth to a dragon, and a phoenix giving birth to a phoenix. Grandpa instigated his grandson too.
As soon as the Southern Huns came this time, they were determined to stay and not leave. The Han Dynasty set aside a piece of land for these hundreds of thousands of people to recuperate, and sent soldiers and horses to set up Xiongnu Zhonglang generals to protect them, and gave them grain, silk and silk every year. In the first year of Yongyuan, the generals Dou Xian and Geng Bing took the Han army and the Southern Xiongnu together, defeated the Northern Xiongnu, and Le Shiyan returned. Since then, the Northern Xiongnu have disappeared.
The Southern Xiongnu also lived and worked in peace and contentment in Xihe until now. Over the past hundred years, the Southern Xiongnu have gradually begun to integrate into the Han people. The position of the predecessor Shan Yufuluo was robbed, and he did not snatch it back at the first time, but chose to go to the emperor to complain. It can be seen that the Southern Xiongnu already regarded themselves as a vassal and subject of the Han people. It's a pity that the world has been in turmoil in recent years, the politics are dim, no one can take care of the Southern Huns, and the Southern Huns, who have been free-range for several years, have loosened the rope around their necks a little, and now they are going wild again.
