Chapter Thirty-Seven: Beiliangzhou (II)

Two days later, the generals of the Qiuyun Conference, the generals in Guzang rushed to the general's tent, Qiuyun announced at the meeting that he would be called back to the court in three days, during his departure, the general's palace was temporarily led by Changshi Duanmu, in order to prevent him from changing the situation in Liangzhou during his absence, the passes must increase the number of troops and strengthen the vigilance. Then Qiuyun deployed and increased troops to the passes.

The first to be transferred was the black cavalry, two thousand of the three thousand black cavalry were transferred to Xiaoguan, commanded by Qiu Ge, the first part of the long cavalry battalion was transferred to Luoyan Pass, and the main force of the middle base battalion was transferred to Huangsha Pass.

"All ministries must strictly abide by military discipline, they must not leave the camp if they have nothing to do, and they must obey the dispatch of the General's Palace. Qiu Yun's expression was stern, and the generals suddenly agreed, and after the generals returned to their positions, Qiu Yun got up and picked up the arrow with both hands and sent it to Duanmu Zheng, inside the big tent, countless pairs of eyes stared, and Duanmu Zheng hesitated and reached out to take it.

"All the stakes are yours, and Liangzhou is on your shoulders. ”

"Please rest assured that the general will live up to the general's trust. Duanmu solemnly took the order arrow and the flag.

After hearing Qiu Yun's order, the generals had different expressions, and most of them stared at the young general in the seat below the right of the handsome seat, and this general was Fang Da. The news of Qiuyun's return to the dynasty has long been known to the generals, Fang Da is one of the people with the highest call to succeed Qiu Yun, the other is Ma Jiajun commander Ma Jing who is sitting opposite Fang Da, and the third is Qiu Yun's eldest son Qiu Ge, but no one expected that Qiu Yun actually chose Duanmu Zheng.

Among the handsome tents, no one dared to discuss in private, but the generals had different expressions, most of them looked at Atletico and Fangda, their expressions were different, Atletico Madrid's chest rose and fell, and he looked at Qiuyun with some indignation. Fangda's expression was strange, as if he was smiling rather than smiling.

"Generals, the desert grassland suffered a snowstorm last winter, and this spring encountered a drought, you all understand that the Hu people crossed the disaster, mostly entering and plundering, and Ben Shuai formulated a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, provide some food for the Tuoba tribe, and induce it to attack north," Qiu Yun briefly explained his deployment to the generals, which was also his habit.

"However, whether the Tuoba tribe is planning to go north, or simply go south, therefore, all passes should strengthen their vigilance, Liangzhou should be loose outside and tight, don't think that if there are more troops on the passes, you can relax, all departments should strengthen training, and soldiers are not allowed to go out of the barracks without reason. ”

Qiu Yun's demeanor was unusual, his tone was very stern, and his eyes kept scanning the generals, and finally stopped at Atletico Madrid. Atletico looked like a martial artist, tall and strong, even if he was sitting, he was a head taller than the generals around him, and his thick palms were firmly on his knees.

Under Qiuyun's account, Atletico Madrid's army is not the most, nor is it the most elite, Fang Da is it, but after all, Atletico was born in the Ma family, the Ma family has a history of thousands of years in Liangzhou, and countless famous generals have emerged in the family, and the Ma family army under his command is a well-known force in the Liangzhou army, so in terms of influence, it is unambiguously ranked first, and it is not much worse than Qiuyun.

"Please rest assured that the general will obey the order and will not slacken. Atletico had a very loud voice and a lot of mid-spirit: "But, General, Duanmu Changshi has never commanded a battle, once the Hu clan invades, can he control the center?"

The generals all looked at Duanmu Zheng, Duanmu Zheng's expression was calm, Qiu Yun smiled faintly: "General Ma filtered, Duanmu is in control of the General's Mansion, it is in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court, when the general is temporarily unable to exercise his powers, the general Mansion Chief Shi temporarily serves, everyone is guessing, whether I can come back to the court this time, this, I don't know, everything depends on the court, depends on the emperor, if I have another appointment, the emperor will naturally appoint a new general, during this period, the safety of Liangzhou will be entrusted to you." ”

This is upright, no one can find a little fault, Atletico smiled, hugged his fists and said: "Please rest assured that the general, the humble position will never live up to the general's trust." ”

All the generals stood up and clasped their fists at Qiuyun: "Please rest assured that the general will never live up to the general's trust!"

Qiu Yun nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Xia Da out of the corner of his eyes, from beginning to end Fang Da never said a word, but all the generals here knew that Fang Da's troops had changed the most, and seventy percent of the troops transferred to the various passes were his troops, and before the meeting, Fang Da had 10,000 fully equipped troops under his command, and now there are 2,000 people left.

"General Fonda. Fang Dateng stood up, facing Qiu Yun with a fist salute, Qiu Yun said: "Most of the troops transferred this time are drawn from your troops, what do you think?"

"Back to the general, no. Fonda replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Qiu Yun frowned slightly, Fang Da was not like this before, his personality was strong, brave and unmatched, he couldn't rub sand in his eyes, and he was afraid that he would have already jumped up by dividing and using his troops like this, but today, he was very quiet, like a lamb to the slaughter.

Qiu Yun frowned again and looked at him silently, Fang Da hesitated and looked at Qiu Yun: "General, although I don't understand, but since the general has an order, the last general should carry it out, if the general agrees, the last general is willing to guard Xiao Pass." ”

"Well, Xiao Guan has Qiu Ge in charge, and you and General Ma are both staying in Guzang. Qiuyun said and swept the generals again, these generals are unruly and arrogant generals, over the years, he has commanded them and suppressed them, and now that he is leaving, Duanmu Zheng will definitely not be able to suppress them, so he is not the best candidate, but he can only choose him.

He needs Duanmu Zheng to carry out the plan to force the Tuoba tribe to go north, and he needs Duanmu Zheng to have the position of a general, even if it is only a temporary agent, it can have a great impact on sending grain into the grassland.

But today's Fangda made him a little unable to see clearly, could it be that the secret assassination a few days ago made him quiet? No, absolutely not, with his understanding of Fangda, he was by no means the one who retreated.

If there is time, Qiu Yun can observe slowly, but now he has no time, after the generals disperse, Qiu Yun will leave Duanmu Zheng, he did not tell him the doubts in his heart, these can only be observed by himself, but he still reminded him that the key to maintaining the stability of Liangzhou is Atletico and Fangda, and internally, it is necessary to have a good relationship with the Lu family.

When Qiuyun handed over the duties of the general to Duanmuzheng, Liu Han was also telling the old king shopkeeper that Liu Tie came back and brought back 300 good horses, and the old Wang shopkeeper tried his best to prepare 200 carts, and he bought more than 100 mules and horses from the market, so that the preparations of God were completed.

"You must remember that we don't come forward, whether we buy grain or anything else, we just send food, I will leave Liu Qing for you, you pick two more people, and they will go to the desert to receive the loot."

Lao Wang nodded yes again and again, his expression was full of regret, he finally collected 50,000 stone grain, this master didn't even receive the money, so he gave it to Tuoba Eagle, the trading company suffered heavy losses, the grassland said that there were loot, in fact, how could there be so much booty, the grassland tribes are all poor ghosts, what good things can be, this business seems to be a loss.

Although Tuoba Ying also has to deal with many affairs, but the events of the past few days made him a little excited, Liu Han not only handed him 50,000 stone of grain, but also lent him 50,000 taels of silver, the dodo brought news of the tribe, his father Khan agreed to send troops to the north, let him inform the general's mansion of this decision, and at the same time urged the general's mansion to send food as soon as possible, as soon as the food arrived, he immediately sent troops, and in view of the heavy casualties of his bodyguards, the tribe sent seven masters, who would escort him to the imperial capital.

The news of the tribe made Tuoba Ying very happy, this time he went to the imperial capital as a hostage, it was an opportunity given to him by his father Khan, so that he could come to the Great Jin to have a look, see the vast Rao of the Great Jin, and see the local characters of the Great Jin.

On the grassland, the strong are respected to convince people, and they are not interested in poetry and book etiquette, but Tuoba Feng believes that the strength of the Great Jin Dynasty is precisely because of his writing etiquette, not the frequent emergence of the strong, sweeping the autumn clouds that dominate the western cool, and the Fang Hui who stepped on the north of the desert, in fact, they are all scholars who have no power to tie the chicken, that is, Duan Chang who swept through Liaodong, and his cultivation is only a mere second grade of martial arts, but it is these few people who commanded tens of thousands of troops to cut down countless grassland heroes from their horses, and let the heroes on the grassland stain the wilderness with blood.

Liu Han was going to go to the imperial capital, Tuoba Ying wanted to join him, but he had to wait for the tribe to come and send the first batch of grain to the grassland, Liu Han couldn't wait, after Liu Tie came back, he began to convene Han An of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau to discuss the departure time, which made Tuoba Ying a little depressed, he felt that Liu Han was still a friend to make and could let him tell him more things about the Great Jin, such as words and etiquette.

General Qiuyun officially announced that he was about to return to the DPRK, the people of Liangzhou were very excited, and people continued to petition the General's Mansion, hoping that the General could stay, and the squires of Guzang prepared an umbrella for the people, ready to be sent when the General left Guzang.

Unlike the people at the bottom, the Liangzhou Gate Lords are very calm, in their opinion, this is a matter of course, the imperial court has long issued an edict to let Qiuyun return to the court, Qiuyun should have left a long time ago, but considering the movements of the Saiwaihu clan, Qiuyun has only stopped for these few months, and now it is time to go back.

What makes the Liangzhou gate valve very satisfied is that it is not the irascible Fang Da who temporarily acts as the general, but the peaceful Duanmu Zheng, although these two people are both from the Shu clan, Duanmu Zheng has a literary name after all, unlike Fang Da who is just a martial artist, besides, the Lu family does not want the Ma family to take over the position of general, and the Lu family itself cannot take over as the general, so all parties are still satisfied with Qiuyun's choice.

The heads of the four major gate valves came to visit one after another, and gave Qiuyun a lot of gifts, Qiuyun did not shirk it, accepted them one by one, talked with them very happily, vaguely revealed part of his plan to stabilize Liangzhou, and implored them to support Duanmuzheng and stabilize Liangzhou.

"The Saiwai Hu people have suffered snow disasters and droughts one after another, and the saint is worried about the stability of Liangzhou, and has repeatedly issued an order to ask, I have set this policy, if it can be successful, it can stabilize Liangzhou for at least three years, all of you are famous and heroic in Liangzhou, please support more. ”

Qiu Yun was very worried that these gate valve clans were secretly sabotaging the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, after all, in the past few decades, especially in the bald tree function rebellion, the four major gate lords suffered heavy losses, and many of their children died in the rebellion, so they repeatedly explained, and even hinted that this plan had been agreed by the emperor, and the four masters would still disobey, and they said yes as one, resolutely supporting Duanmu Zheng and stabilizing Liangzhou.

With a lot of worries, in July of the sixteenth year of Taiding, Qiu Yun, the governor of Liangzhou and the general of Huqiang, embarked on the journey back to the court, and only twenty families returned to the court with him, and the remaining eight hundred families will all stay in Liangzhou. Although Qiu Ge repeatedly begged to stay in Liangzhou and accompany his eldest brother Qiu Ge to guard Liangzhou, Qiu Yun was unmoved and strictly ordered him to return to the dynasty with him, Qiu Ge was helpless and drunk on the Huaxi River full of melancholy.

Two days before Qiuyun's departure, Liu Han had already set off with his huge caravan to the western capital of Chang'an, the general Qiuyun returned to the court, and the Liangzhou army began to clear out the thieves and homeless people along the way early.
