Chapter 17: The Heroes (Part II)

The Quanzhou Canal, twenty miles east of Yongnu County, Yanguo, Youzhou, is one of the two canals that Emperor Wu of Wei ordered the famous minister Dong Zhao to dig in order to ensure the supply of grain and grass for the Northern Expedition. Since the founding of this dynasty, the Quanzhou canal has been in disrepair for a long time, and the waterways have become more and more tortuous, and there are many congestions. During the summer months, the river often overflows the embankment. Year after year, day after day, the people who originally farmed here moved to other places, and the land within a radius of dozens of miles was abandoned; The complex terrain of lakes, marshes, woodlands and grasslands on both sides of the river has become a paradise for many birds and animals.

On this day, the Quanzhou canal is very lively, and the shouts and hooves of the horses sound at the same time.

"Catch up! Catch! ”

"Outflank it from the west, don't let it go!"

With the command of one person in the center, thousands of armored knights who had been trained in five 'colors' were like arms and fingers, and the clouds gathered and the stars scattered, galloping back and forth.

The person who gave the order wore a purple and gold crown, a brocade robe, a white dragon horse under his crotch, and a full set of saddles piled with gold 'jade', shining with the sun; Looking at his face closely, he is about forty or fifty years old, with five locks of long hair fluttering, this appearance is actually just ordinary, but his eyes are awe-inspiring, and there is a sense of nobility on his face. The servants who ran with him were also 'elite' and sharp in riding, and the horses under the crotch were all good horses and good horses. They walked through the woodlands and grasslands like walking on flat ground, and everywhere they went, they were like the wind and grass, 'stirring' up the dust and sand in the sky, and frightened the birds and beasts to flee, and the sound was terrifying.

A tall reindeer of pure white 'colored' was surrounded and forced by the knights to rush out of a sparse woodland, and was about to speed up its escape, but crashed into the encirclement of hundreds of knights in front of it. The reindeer wandered around, jumping aimlessly in circles and screaming.

"Hahahaha! Where are you going now? The knight in the costume who gave the order laughed loudly: "Everyone, let's see how my 'shooting' skills are!" ”

In the midst of laughter, he opened his bow and 'shot'. I heard a loud buzz of the bowstring, and a ray of silver light broke through the air and hit the reindeer's forehead, and the reindeer struggled a few steps and fell to the ground with a bang. It is important to know that reindeer tend to collide with each other with their head horns when they come into heat every year, so their skulls are extremely strong. The arrow of the knight in the costume was accurate and heavy, and it broke through the thick and strong skull of the reindeer, and 'inserted' it straight into the brain.

The knight in a Chinese costume rode up a few steps, looked at the reindeer lying on the ground, and laughed very proudly: "Yes, yes, I haven't hunted for a long time, and finally the 'shooting' technique has not been put down." ”

"The general is naturally good at archery! The general is naturally a god 'shooting'! Before the knight's voice fell, hundreds of people had already cheered in unison.

The knight was accustomed to hearing sycophancy, and he was at ease with this, and he did not have the slightest sense of humility, so he waved his whip and shouted: "This is a good thing, hurry up and kill it, and take blood while it's hot!" Deer 'meat' and the like, let's divide it, remember to leave the antlers to me! ”

The servants suddenly agreed, and some of them pulled out their waist knives and dismounted to cut their prey.

Within the scope of Youzhou, the only people who can lead such a large-scale cavalry team on a large-scale safari and are called "generals" are naturally only the hussar generals, the military governors of Hebei Dongyi, the assassins of Youzhou, and the prince of Boling.

Wang Jun was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, the first-rate high 'gate' of this dynasty. His father, Wang Shen, Shi Wei was often a "servant" and "servant" in the scattered horses, and was deeply trusted by the noble township prince Cao Chao. The noble township general 'wanted' to raise the crowd to attack Emperor Wen of this dynasty, and conspired with Wang Shen and others, but unexpectedly, after Wang Shen left the palace, he went straight to Emperor Wen. Emperor Wen then sent Jia Chong, the protector of the army, to lead the army to intercept it, and the warrior Chengji was picked up by Jia Chong and killed the noble townsman. After this incident, such as Jia Chong, Wang Shen and others, they were all regarded as heroes of the Great Jin Dynasty, and they have soared since then. Wang Shen finally died in the position of hussar general and Lu Shangshu, and after his death, he was posthumously crowned the prince of Boling County, and was extremely glorified.

Wang Jun's mother, Zhao, was born in poverty, and Wang Shen 'fornicated' and gave birth to Wang Jun, and neither mother nor son was liked by Wang Shen. After Wang Shen's death, because he had no heirs, Wang Jun was elected by his relatives to inherit the position of Duke of Boling County. In the ninth year of Yuankang, the Luoyang court 'chaos' arose, Wang Jun received the secret edict of Jia Hou, and Huang 'Gate' Sun Ji conspired to kill the prince of Huai, so he was awarded the general Ning Shuo, the governor of Youzhou military affairs. In the following years, the court was in turmoil, thieves swarmed, and Wang Jun coerced the people of Youzhou to maneuver among the kings to protect his strength. In order to marry Xianbei as foreign aid, he even married his two 'daughters' to Duan Wu Bechen, the leader of the Duan Division, and Su Shuyan, another Xianbei chieftain, so that he was able to recruit Xianbei people to join the army. As a result, Youzhou Shima's 'fine' is the crown of all states in the world.

Wang Jun's behavior was soon taken into account by the king of Chengdu, who was in charge of the government at the time. The king of Chengdu took the right Sima and acting as the assassin of Youzhou, and secretly ordered and acted to kill Wang Jun. But Wang Jun has worked hard in Youzhou for several years, and his deep foundation is far from being comparable to Yaneng, and soon he killed Heyan, led Youzhou himself, and took the brave general Qi Hong as the vanguard to drive Hu Jin's 'elite' army south. The courage and good fighting of the Xianbei people far exceeded that of the Jin army, and the 20,000 Youzhou iron cavalry defeated and captured, such as destroying the withering and decaying, and easily captured Yecheng, forcing Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, to flee to Chang'an with the emperor.

In this war, Wang Jun's military discipline was extremely poor, and he plundered the people along the way, and Qianshu died countless people because of it. In addition, the Xianbei people also plundered the 'women' and 'women' into the military camp on a large scale, wantonly 'lewd' pleasure, and their shape was unbearable. When Wang Jun waved his army back to Jicheng, he ordered those who dared to hide to be beheaded, so the Xianbei people drowned all the 'women' and 'women' in Yishui, and there were as many as 8,000 dead. After the Youzhou army retreated, the Li people in Hebei cried, saying that since the founding of this dynasty, the court members have poisoned the people, and there is no one more than this gentleman.

After the king of the East China Sea took control of the Luoyang Dynasty, in order to win over the powerful Wang Jun, he was crowned as the general of the hussars, the governor of Dongyi Hebei, the military of Youzhou, and the history of Youzhou, and added Yan to the fief of the Duke of Boling County.

Such strength, coupled with such an official position, no matter from which point of view, can be called "the extreme of people". In anyone's opinion, Wang Jun should be satisfied, and Wang Jun himself has repeatedly submitted to the imperial court and repeatedly sworn loyalty to the king of the East China Sea. But at the same time, he has also noticed that in recent years, the world has been full of smoke, and the Xiongnu in the state, the Qianghu in Liangzhou, and the Bayi in Yizhou...... The rebellion and rebellion everywhere stirred up the imperial court, and the once unshakable Great Jin gradually showed its weakness; while Wang Jun's own development in Youzhou was very smooth, and the thousands of miles of fertile fields from western Liaoning to Fanyang were managed by him like iron buckets, and there were even Xianbei tribes and powerful clans as minions and wings. The growth and decline of strength is so clear and clear, the most secret place in Wang Jun's heart, vaguely has a calculation that cannot be spoken to others.

Perhaps because his thoughts are too heavy, these days, Wang Jun feels that his liver is hot, and he is particularly easy to get angry, so that he has whipped several favored concubines to death one after another because of trivial things. He also knew that this was not a long-term way to protect himself, so he took advantage of today's leisure to go out on patrol and 'shoot' to hunt to relieve his anxiety.

said so, but Wang Jun watched his subordinates happily killing deer for blood for a while, and suddenly felt a little bored, and his thoughts instantly came out again. He suddenly didn't want to continue to 'shoot' the hunt, shook his head, whistled his horse, and was about to turn back to Jicheng.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone in the west shouting loudly: "General Qiqi, urgent report from the north!" ”

The hussar generals in the shogunate all knew that they had deliberately traveled to 'shoot' for hunting and recreation today, and they would not bother with ordinary trivial matters. What kind of message is this Northland Emergency? Could it be ...... Wang Jun was slightly surprised, could it be said that the dispute between Tuoba Xianbei and Shan Yu had already had a result?
