Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 3 Storms and Storms Section 31
Chapter 3 Storm and Storm Section 31 Mobei Metropolitan Protector Pang De urgently reported to Jinyang, the Western Xianbei Lord Evil Rebellion suddenly launched an attack on the Xianbei Wild Wolf Tribe at the end of March, the Wild Wolf King Ranger was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, and has now led his troops to retreat to Jiluo Mountain.
After Pang De, Yan Wuxing, and Tie Yue heard the news, they hurriedly took the Fengyun Iron Horse to the north to support. Tianyu, the Taishou of Hanbei County, urgently met with the kings of the Hu tribe in the desert to discuss the conscription of troops to the north to crusade.
Pang De said in the book that the desert smoke had risen again, and the situation was unpredictable, and he asked the imperial court to immediately recruit reinforcements to be stationed in the desert to deter the Hu tribes and prevent the situation from worsening.
At present, there are Tuntian soldiers in the Hetao, and there are iron cavalry of Wei Jun and Lei Zi at the foot of the Ural Mountains.
"Please look at the map...... "Li Wei said very dissatisfied,
"Today, the Northern Xinjiang Army is fighting on the four battlefields of Jizhou, Guanxi, Hedong and Dadesert, and nearly 100,000 troops need Jinyang to provide food and military supplies. I also want to immediately enter the gate and rescue the Son of Heaven, but is it possible? The news was like a cold wind on the desert, freezing cold, and the big tent suddenly fell silent.
Lu Zhi carefully read Pang De's letter, then walked to Xian Yufu's side, and asked puzzledly: "The desert garrison has just gone south, and the evil has returned to attack the wild wolf tribe, does he think his life is too long?" He wants to capture the entire Northwest Desert? ”
"I don't know what he thinks, but he took the lead in provoking a war in the desert, which is equivalent to igniting the war in the desert." Xian Yufu said worriedly,
"If we can't put down the rebellion in time, the desert will be full of wolves, and the stable situation in northern Xinjiang will soon be over."
"Is it that serious?" Zhang Wen picked up the paperwork and glanced at it slightly,
"Many of the tribal kings of the Hu tribe in the desert were once under the general, so they won't participate in the rebellion, right?"
"Although these tribal kings will not participate in the rebellion, they will not fail to fight back if others beat him." Xian Yufu said,
"In recent years, the desert climate has been abnormal, with continuous snowstorms in winter and longer rainy seasons. Especially in the northern part of the desert, the living conditions are very harsh. The northwest of the desert is uninhabitable, and can only move south, but the southward migration is resisted by other Hu tribes, so the only way to return to evil is to fight. ”
"When I was in the Mobei Protectorate, I repeatedly asked to move south. I have also summoned the kings of the Hu tribe to discuss this. But the kings of the Hu tribe unanimously refused, especially the wild wolf king ranger. He had a deep grudge against the evil and the step, and he refused, and then he didn't even come to the discussion. The wild wolf tribe is close to Xianbei in the west, and the evil will go south, and it will definitely fight the rangers, so this rebellion will happen sooner or later. ”
"This year, Northern Xinjiang was eager to attack Jizhou, leaving only 5,000 Fengyun Iron Cavalry to garrison the desert. Seeing that the opportunity had come, the evil rebels immediately couldn't wait to do it. Xian Yufu looked at Wang Han, who was out of breath, and said regretfully,
"Last time I was in the collegiate meeting of the two governments, I mentioned the matter of the desert, and I hope that you will consider the survival of the Hu people in the desert, and move part of the population of the border county south to Jizhou at the appropriate time, so as to provide conditions for the Hu people to move south to the border county. But the lords shook their heads and vetoed the matter. Zhang Wen, Lu Zhi, Ding Gong and the others looked at each other and were silent.
Zhao Qi sighed and said, "Judging from the current situation, it is completely correct that the Hussar General and the Northern Xinjiang Prefecture resolutely disagree to give up the desert. If we had given up the desert at the beginning, the Hu people would definitely have to invade the south now, and the border counties north of the Great Wall would have been in war again. As Lord Xianyu said just now, a large part of the reason for the rebellion is because of survival. I think there is a lot of truth in the statement that it is not too big for adults. We will not let the Hu people move south, and force them to their death, of course they will rebel. I think the imperial court should consider this matter carefully, otherwise, there will be big trouble in the future. ”
"This is a joint letter from Tuntian Captain Tang Fang, Shuofeng Taishou Zheng, Yunzhong Taishou Shilu, Dingxiang Taishou Huang Ting, and Daijun Taishou Zhao Zhao five adults." Yu Peng took out a volume of documents and put it on the desk,
In their letters, the five adults said that the victims and displaced people who have moved to the border counties in recent years are all people from Jizhou, Yanzhou and other places, and it is difficult for them to adapt to the climate of the border areas, nor can they live on animal husbandry like the Hu people, and they are miserable. In the past two years, the climate in the border counties has become more and more harsh, the grain production in the Tuntian area is very low, and the population in Tuntian is large, many people cannot eat enough and cannot survive, so people began to flee the border counties in large numbers and return to Jizhou. Yu Peng looked at several ministers with solemn expressions, and continued: "The five lords suggested that once the general took Jizhou, he would quickly move the people of the border counties south, which would not only reduce the population of the border counties, relieve the pressure on the border counties, and stabilize the situation in the border counties, but also greatly reduce the imperial court's relief to the border counties and save the imperial court's expenses. Zhang Wen and other ministers understood the meaning of the Hussar General's Mansion.
Because of the large population of the border county, it is difficult for the border county to support, so it plans to move the population south, and the desert Hu people cannot survive because of the harsh desert climate, so they strongly demand to move south to the border county.
In this way, the Han people returned to Jizhou, some of the Hu people went to the border counties, and the problems of the border counties and the desert were solved, but the problem was that after the Hu people moved south, there were many Hu people in the border counties and the south of the desert, and the imperial court would increase the number of border garrisons again, and the military expenditure of the imperial court would increase significantly, could the imperial court afford it?
Li Wei said helplessly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please think about it carefully, settle the score, now we have to save Sheji as soon as possible, and we must concentrate all our forces to eradicate the ** pigtail, if we are always contained in the frontier by the Hu people, it is always difficult to take care of both the end and the end, and the enemy is on our backs, when will we be able to save Sheji and revitalize Sheji?" Zhang Wen waved his hand vigorously,
"Okay, our two governments will discuss this matter immediately and come up with a solution as soon as possible."
"Master Li, please immediately reply to the three adults Pang De, Yan Wuxing, and Tie Yue, and ask them to quell the rebellion in the desert as soon as possible, and the affairs of the desert will be handed over to them. In addition, in the name of the general, he wrote a letter to Tian Yu, the Taishou of Hanbei County, asking him to convene the Hu kings to discuss carefully, discuss carefully the matter of some Hu people's appropriate southward relocation to the border counties, and then make a note to the imperial court. ”
"What about the southward migration of the population of the border county?" Li Wei asked,
"Do you want to ask a few adults to go south to Jinyang as soon as possible to discuss matters?" Zhang Wen and Lu Zhi whispered a few words.
"Wait a minute." Zhang Wen said,
"After the general takes Jizhou, he will invite a few adults to go south, and at the same time, Zhao Jian, Tian Wan, and Kong Xuan from Jizhou will also be invited. When they moved north, the displaced people and disaster victims flocked to each other, and many people died on the way. Now that we are moving south, we must be fully prepared and no more people will die. Lu Zhi also sighed,
"If the people of the Han Dynasty continue to die like this endlessly, they will die in a few years."
"What about Chang'an? What about the Son of Heaven? We don't care? Wang Han asked loudly. The adults looked embarrassed, staring at each other and at a loss.
"Ladies and gentlemen, whether Dong Zhuo is dead or not, whether the Son of Heaven is dangerous or not, none of us know at present. But one thing is certain, Lord Wang Yun is still in charge of the overall situation in Chang'an. Therefore, I think it is necessary for the imperial court to send a minister to Chang'an immediately. Li Wei said,
"If you go to Chang'an for more than a thousand miles, day and night, this minister will be able to arrive in Chang'an in ten days. After arriving in Chang'an, he sent back the news by riding 800 miles, so that we would know what had happened in Chang'an in about twelve days. At this moment, the ministers have no choice but to do so.
Wang Rou was ordered to go to Chang'an in a hurry. In mid-April, Jizhou, Ganling County. Li Hong sat behind the desk, his hands clasped to his chest, and his right hand kept rubbing his chin around.
On the desk, there is a holy decree in the center, on the left is a joint letter from Xian Yufu and Li Wei, and on the right is Xu Rong's letter.
He had just been in Jizhou for more than a month, and so many things had happened in northern Xinjiang, Guanzhong, Guanxi, and Guandong, which made Li Hong have a splitting headache and exhaustion.
Dong Zhuo is dead? No way. Chang'an suddenly sent such a holy decree to the eldest princess, obviously with ulterior motives.
What do you mean? Could it be that the news of Yuan Shao's defeat from Jizhou has been sent to Chang'an, and some ministers in the Chang'an court deliberately used such a holy decree to deceive the eldest princess in order to help Yuan Shao recapture Jizhou, forcing himself to turn around and attack Guanzhong with the main army to rescue the Son of Heaven?
No way. It has only been more than a month since Yuan Shao was defeated in Jizhou, and it is impossible for the news to reach Chang'an so quickly. Dong Zhuo wants to usurp the Han Dynasty and stand on his own?
More unlikely. Several ministers in Jinyang have a deep hatred for Dong Zhuo and think about the worst in everything.
Although Dong Zhuo is a martial artist, he is a very intelligent martial artist. At this time, he usurped the Han and became self-reliant, didn't he bring about his own death?
He wouldn't have done such a stupid thing. Dong Zhuo was really killed? thought of countless ways to kill Dong Zhuo, but in the end he only came to one conclusion, no one can kill Dong Zhuo, this is fake news.
Li Hong shook his head and sighed deeply. There are Pang De, Yan Wuxing, Tian Yu, and Liu Bao, the Zuoxian King of the Huns, and there are loyal old subordinates such as Shooting Yingtong, Lou Lu, Arc Ding, and Qi Shen, and they can't make a big deal, so they can be put aside and not think about it.
The affairs of Guanzhong are handled by Jinyang and a group of ministers, and the affairs of Guanxi and Kanto are handled by Xu Rong and Tian Chou, all of which can be put aside and ignored.
Only the matter of Jizhou must be solved by himself. Zhang Wen, Lu Zhi, Xian Yufu, Xu Rong, Li Wei and many other ministers, without exception, repeatedly urged themselves in their letters to take Jizhou as soon as possible.
However, the matter in Jizhou is getting more and more troublesome. Li Hong's gaze slowly turned to the books stacked beside him.
Master Taifu Liu Yu is here. Liu Yu was very angry, and between the lines, he was full of hatred and disappointment towards Li Hong.
Li Hong only read this letter once, and did not dare to open it a second time. Liu Yu was furious, scolded him for being a thief, a pigtail, and a rebel, scolded him for betraying the Han Dynasty, betraying the first emperor, and scolding him for being blind, and even raising a leopard for the Han Dynasty, a livestock that destroyed the Han Society.
Li Hong was in great pain, and for the first time he deeply felt the pain and grievance of being misunderstood. In the dead of night, Li Hong picked up his pen several times and wanted to reply to Liu Yu with a letter, but after writing a few words, he couldn't continue to write.
What did he say? How does he explain it? Gongsun Chan beat Yuan Shao because Yuan Shao had ten heinous crimes, and Yuan Shao was a rebellious Han, so Gongsun Chan could beat him justifiably and occupy Jizhou, but what about himself?
Why did you defeat Gongsun Chan and occupy Jizhou? Liu Yu considered from the perspective of Youzhou itself, and did not react to everything that happened in Jizhou throughout the winter, and even did not mention the Panhe War in the New Year's greeting table for the eldest princess.
Liu Yu's attitude of conniving and acquiescing to Gongsun Zhan's occupation of Jizhou was a huge threat to the Jinyang Imperial Court, and at this moment, both Liu Yu himself and Gongsun Chan were hindering the imperial court's revitalization policy.
There is no doubt that if there is an obstacle, it should be eliminated immediately. If Liu Yu was indeed trying to save Sheji, he should have stood on the same side as the imperial court, and he should have shown his loyalty to the eldest princess, but he didn't do so.
Could it be that I told Lord Liu in my letter that Gongsun Chan might be a rebel of the Great Han, so I beat him?
Li Hong felt unable to speak, unable to show Liu Yu his true thoughts. He felt that Liu Yu should resign from the imperial court at this time, resign from the post of Taifu and Youzhou pastor, and return the military and political power of Youzhou to the imperial court, so as to save the lives of himself and his clan relatives.
Otherwise, he this
Sooner or later, the identity of the "True Dragon Son of Heaven" will bring him the disaster of extermination. Can I tell Mr. Liu that?
Of course not. Liu Yu is his own old master, his own superior, and this kind of disobedience cannot be said in any case.
Liu Yu's letter made it clear that he wanted to cut off all relations with Li Hong. However, Liu Yu is very shrewd, he wrote this letter in his personal capacity, and he left himself a way back, and did not directly provoke himself to sever relations with the imperial court.
However, this attitude of his already says it all. Master Taifu, in order to escape responsibility, you falsely claimed to be sick and resolutely resigned and returned to your hometown, why can't you give up now?
Li Hong smiled bitterly, stunned. He reached out and picked up a scroll from his side and slowly opened it. This is the letter of Yu Poison, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro, and he has read it dozens of times.
At the beginning of this month, Li Hong and Zhang Yan rushed to Guantao and made an appointment to meet Yu Poison and Zhenggu. When Yu Poison went out of the city to meet, he was very frank and said that he did not want to be appeased.
Yu Poison was haunted by Li Hong's defeat of the Yellow Turban Army in the Battle of Gauntlet, and he stubbornly believed that Zhang Niujiao was killed by Li Hong.
Zhang Yan spoke bitterly, persuaded and persuaded, and finally asked helplessly, what conditions do you want to agree to be cared for?
Yu Poison did not hesitate, and opened his mouth to ask for Wei Jun. Li Hong did not hesitate and agreed. Zhang Yan burst into tears at that time, and wiped her eyes with her back to Li Hong several times.
Yu Poison opened his mouth and stood stupidly for a long time. Yu Yu bowed respectfully and said goodbye, and in three days, I will definitely give the general a satisfactory answer.
Yellow turban generals such as Zhenggu and Dahong refused to be caressed. Su Gu angrily said to the poison, if you are willing to surrender to the imperial court like Zhang Yan and Yang Feng, I will not stop you, you take your Yangguan Road, and I will go back to my Black Mountain.
Three days later, Yu Yu replied to Li Hong, and the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro did not want to be appeased, but felt the sincerity of the general, and was willing to withdraw from Guantao and return to Montenegro.
Li Hong was disappointed, and Zhang Yan was also in pain. Li Hong comforted Zhang Yan, and when Jizhou was taken, we would talk slowly with Yu Poison and Zhenggu.
After all, it's a very good start. With Yu Xuan's promise, Li Hong immediately ordered Lu Yi to lead an army to support Zhao Yun, take Xindu City as soon as possible, and occupy Anping State.
In the first month of this month, Zhang Yan led his army to capture the city of Ganling. Ji Yong, the prime minister of Ganling, was captured. After three days of rest, Zhang Yan and Yu Yigen led their troops to Panhe to meet Jiang Wu and Mustafa's iron cavalry, and then the army went straight to Nanpi City in Bohai County.
Li Hong and Wang Dang stayed in Ganling City to wait for the grain and grass to be loaded, and prepared to follow later. After taking Jizhou, I will go to Montenegro with Feiyan, and I will take all the Yellow Turban troops from Montenegro down the mountain.
Li Hong rolled up the poisonous letter, and a confident smile appeared on his face. The curtain was lifted, and Wang Dang rushed in,
"General, Yu Poison and Zheng Gu are surrounded."
"Who surrounded them? In what place? Li Hong asked in surprise. Jump to
