Chapter 18: The Great General Qiuyun
The general city does not have the department of the city patrol department, only the important cities have, and it is generally only the government and government officials patrol the city, but Guzang obviously belongs to the former, and the general city patrol division is under the jurisdiction of the government, only a few cities, such as the imperial capital Xijing, or Guzang such a key border city, will be under the jurisdiction of the military, and the Guzang city patrol division will be under the jurisdiction of the Huqiang General's Office.
The matter was very clear and very simple, when the officer of the City Patrol Division learned that it was the young master of the Tuoba tribe who was attacked, and it was the proton who was replaced in Beijing this time, he couldn't help but be shocked, and felt that this matter was not trivial, and immediately reported it to the General's Mansion.
The great general Qiuyun is not the kind of military general who looks very powerful and fierce, on the contrary, he looks very elegant, full of books, his study is also full of books, and the only thing that can indicate the identity of the general is the sword hanging on the wall and the armor in the corner.
"We have preliminarily examined the corpse, leaving no clues, the only clue is the child, this child should be a famous killer evil boy in the rivers and lakes. ”
The speaker was a scribe, who looked to be in his thirties, with a delicate face, a few short beards under his chin, wearing a very ordinary plain cotton robe, and a simple bun on his head, and the whole person looked very free.
Qiu Yun's expression was calm, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and the scribe continued: "The identities of the other people at the scene have not been ascertained, I checked the weapons, the weapons are very miscellaneous, the only thing that can be said is that these weapons are all military, other than that, there are no other clues." ”
The scribe's expression was a little anxious, if Tuoba Ying was assassinated, this matter could be big or small, according to the information obtained by the General's Mansion, Tuoba Ying was the most unfavored son of Tuoba Feng, the leader of Tuoba, but after all, he was the son of Tuoba Feng, and the Tuoba tribe had always been unruly.
"Duanmu, how many times have you said it, there is calm in every major event. Qiuyun looked at the sky calmly, the scorching heat had gradually receded, the sun hung like a fireball in the distance, the red sunlight dyed the clouds into fish scales, reflected in the green leaves in the courtyard, and the windows, covering the original color, like a layer of red.
But maybe, maybe, it is blood.
"Yes, General. Duanmu bowed slightly to Qiuyun with some apologies.
"The vicissitudes of the sea, the world is endlessly changing, you see the clouds, no matter where the wind comes from, no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, they can float in the sky. Qiuyun said slowly.
"Yes, the general taught. Duanmu saluted again, the longer he was in contact with the general, the deeper his admiration for him, the general was upright, meritorious and meritorious, but always humble and calm, stayed by his side for three years, and his self-cultivation and knowledge have been greatly improved, but the more he improved, the more he felt insufficient, and the more he hoped to stay with the general.
After pondering for a moment, Qiu Yun said: "Duanmu, I want to recommend you to the imperial court, what do you think?"
This is the third time this matter has been mentioned, strictly speaking, Duanmu's identity is a little unclear, it can be regarded as a court official, or it can be said that it is not, the general quelled the Xianbei rebellion, His Majesty rewarded the general for opening the palace with the three divisions, and the general recruited the young talents of Qinliang and Liangzhou, among which there was Duanmu Zheng, in recent years, these recruited young talents have been recommended to the court by the general except for Duanmu.
Now that the general mentioned this matter again, Duanmu Zheng still shook his head firmly: "General, I don't want to leave you yet, especially at this time, please let me continue to stay by your side." ”
Qiu Yun sighed softly and stopped mentioning this matter, Duanmu Zheng said tentatively: "General, is it the hands and feet of the imperial court?"
Qiu Yun smiled faintly: "No matter who did it, now they don't have it, so they don't have a chance, pick ten people from the black panther to protect Tuoba Eagle, all the way to Xijing, the rest is not our business." ”
Duanmu Zheng nodded slightly, he didn't move, Qiuyun's order naturally had to be executed, and it was carried out immediately, but the person who gave the order would not be him, and someone outside would naturally issue the order.
"General, the court is urging again, how should we reply?" Duanmu was asking tentatively, this question had already been asked once, and Qiu Yun's answer at that time was to wait for Qiu Ge to come back, and he also replied to the court in this way, and now that Qiu Ge is back, things must be decided in these two days.
"Alas," Qiuyun sighed softly: "Duanmu, it's not that you don't know, it's not that I don't want to obey the order, now Liangzhou seems to be calm, but in fact, Tuoba Feng is seriously ill, and it is unknown whether he will get it or not, and several sons are eyeing him, so they say that this Tuoba Eagle was assassinated, and they don't know that it was not their own doing." ”
Duanmu Zheng couldn't help but sigh, Qiuyun continued: "In addition to the Tuoba tribe, the wild horse tribe and the Red Sun tribe compete for grassland, they have fought several times, Tubo and Qiang, as well as the Western Regions, I heard that the Fox Kingdom and Jimi are going to war, Tubo and Xianbei have the intention of expanding to the Western Regions, alas, we know too little about the countries of the Western Regions, and I don't know what the situation is over there, three years ago, the country was still in good shape, I proposed to the imperial court to conquer the Western Regions, it's a pity.."
A few years ago, Qiuyun suggested to the imperial court that he should take advantage of the great injury of the Xianbei people to send troops to the Western Regions and restore the protection of the Western Regions, so that Tubo and Xianbei can be clamped down from both the east and west, and the Tubo can be forced to put pressure on the Qiang people, so that the Qiang people can be forced to get closer to the Great Jin, which is very important for stabilizing the western Xinjiang.
"General, didn't that Liu Han of the Hanhai Trading Company just come back from the Western Regions? Duanmu Zheng proposed.
"He's just a businessman, he understands military affairs," Qiu Yun said, "He's also on the scene today?"
Duanmu was nodding, and Qiuyun pondered for a moment and said, "What is Ge'er doing every day now?"
"The second son and his friends from the academy are studying together. Duanmu replied cautiously and tactfully.
"Reading, hmph, it's Xuan Xiu again!" Qiu Yun stood up full of disappointment, from the beginning to now, it was also the first time he showed his personal emotions, Duanmu Zheng also shook his head lightly, as if he understood very much.
The second son Qiu Ge and the eldest son Qiu Ge are completely two types of people, Qiu Ge has a white horse and a silver spear, and he reached the cultivation of the grandmaster at a young age, commanding the black panther to fight in the desert grassland, and the second son Qiu Ge is good at dancing and writing, although there is a Ge character in the name, he has no interest in swords and guns, but is very interested in reading books and Xuan Xiu.
Reading, Qiuyun has no objection at all, but Xuan Xiu...
Xuan Xiu is actually asking for immortals, many celebrities in Dajin like this kind of activity, and they are regarded as celebrities, but Qiuyun is extremely disgusted, and asks for immortals, which is a legend thousands of years ago. For thousands of years, I haven't seen anyone who has cultivated to become an immortal, if there is really a god, this eloquent Taizu, the wise and loving Taizong, isn't it still there, how can the people of the world work so hard.
Duanmu Zheng heard him denounce this kind of activity as delusional more than once, and Qiu Ge was reprimanded a lot by him for it, but he just didn't change it, he just didn't dare to do it at home. Duanmu Zheng has his own opinion on this matter, and he has persuaded him twice before, but not only did it not work well, but on the contrary, he was reprimanded by Qiu Yun, so that now he doesn't say anything about it.
"I know all day long that I have traveled with a group of so-called celebrities," Qiu Yun snorted coldly: "When you go to him, just say that I said it, let him go with you to meet the Hanhai Trading Company, and when it's over, let him report to me and tell him that if he doesn't do well, he will go to Xiaoguan to guard me in the future." ”
Duanmu Zheng smiled bitterly and was about to persuade, but Qiu Yun had already waved his hand to stop him: "In addition, you draft another report to the imperial court, and say that I will leave for the imperial court in ten days." ”
"Yes, General, did you still let the eldest prince escort along the way this time?" Duanmu Zheng asked.
Qiu Yun shook his head: "Tuoba Eagle was assassinated, I don't know what the Tuoba tribe will do, let Qiu Ge go to Yanchi Pass, bring two thousand black panthers, and transfer another three thousand flying cavalry camps, and leave the day after tomorrow, with a limit of five days to arrive." ”
Yanchi Pass, there is no salt pond, on the contrary, there is a serious shortage of salt here, it may be because of this reason, it took such a name, the salt of the garrison is all transferred from the interior, there are no residents here, it is extremely desolate, but it is the only way for the Hu people to enter the customs.
"Yanchi Pass?" Duanmu was still thinking about if he wanted to enter the pass and loot, if the Tuoba tribe wanted to enter the pass and loot, they should also go to Xiao Pass, how could they transfer Qiu Ge to Yanchi Pass?
The grassland outside this Yanchi Pass belongs to the Wuche tribe, but the General's Mansion has received information that last spring, the leaders of the Wuche tribe, Wuche Sugan and Tuoba Feng, had met and sworn an oath to jointly fight against the Ding Ling people from the north.
After this oath, the two tribes have frequent interactions, with the cunning of the Tuoba style, if there is a move, it is bound to encourage the Wuche tribe to raise troops together, Qiu Yun transferred the most elite black panther and flying cavalry, the purpose is to prevent the rebellion of the Wuche tribe, if it once it rebels, Qiu Ge will put down the rebellion as quickly as possible, and then pacify the Tuoba tribe with Fang Da.
After thinking about it, Duanmu Zheng's expression was a little dignified, Qiuyun was already preparing for the war, but this time was really not a good time, a few days later, Qiuyun was going to return to Beijing, these years, the stability of Western Xinjiang was largely because of Qiuyun.
In recent years, Qiuyun has guarded the western frontier, divided and co-opted, and applied both soft and hard measures, and it was easy to stabilize the situation outside the country. The Saiwaihu tribe is now so honest, largely because they are afraid of this great general.
If there was no Qiuyun in charge, would the Saiwai Hu clan still be so honest? Duanmu was comparing the generals of Liangzhou one by one, Fang Da looked steady and good at fighting, but he still remembered what Qiuyun had said, the two necessary conditions for stabilizing Liangzhou were to divide the Saiwai Hu clan and stabilize the Liangzhou Shi clan.
That is to say, Duanmu Zheng touched Qiuyun's strategy to stabilize and ensure the western frontier, but Fang Da obviously didn't understand, Fang Da was a brave and good general on the battlefield, but his hard injury was born in the Shu clan, unlike Qiuyun, the four major gate valve families in Liangzhou have always been lukewarm to him, and he is also arrogant to these gate valve families in Liangzhou, there was a legend that the people of the four major families seem to be active, and they want to transfer him away, if it weren't for Qiu Yun's protection, he may have been transferred, even if he considers his military exploits, it is just an idle position, how can there be the current scenery.
Thinking of the gloomy and uncertain prospects of Liangzhou, Duanmu Zheng couldn't help but sigh and took the car to Quling Academy to find Qiu Ge.
