Chapter 89: I'll strike hard at the people
"Isn't it the prince of the previous dynasty? What a cross! ”
Fifth Lun previously looked down on the slaughter of the less, this person is a typical heavy attack on the common people, in the face of the official Hou Bo but only promised, originally wanted to target the common people to kill all the indiscriminate to let the recruits practice their courage, but unexpectedly rushed out of the opposite side of a prince, he didn't know what to do for a while, he could only mumble in a low voice.
Didn't you roar so loudly?
And the people of Beidi County saw that Fu Chang, the Marquis of Yiyang, came to support him, and suddenly became angry again, and scolded in the local dialect, they were already fierce people, but now they have a leader, and the farm tools are mixed with spears and halberds, and they follow Fu Chang to force forward with great momentum, but it is Tumenshao's soldiers who retreat step by step.
"Stay!"
At this time, Wu Lun rode out, rushed to the middle, stopped in front of the people on both sides, stretched out his hands to stop them from clashing, and stepped forward to give his hand to Fu Chang.
"In the sunset, the city is attached, the military Sima Wulun, and I have seen the Marquis of Yiyang."
The title of the fifth Lun was finally issued, and it was sealed in what "sunset", it is said that it is in the area of Jingzhou, Jiangxia and Anlu, and the fifth Lun doesn't care, it is falsely sealed, where is the love, anyway, your Daxin title is an empty title, you can't receive Shilu, and you can't even get the award pennant.
But after all, there is a distinction between high and low, the attached city is obviously inferior to Hou and Bo, and the Yiyang Hou Fu Chang on the opposite side is a typical child of the six counties, eight feet long, with a majestic face, and immediately with a bow and knife, staring fiercely at the fifth Lun Dao: "Military Sima? Does the little army Sima dare to be so arrogant and aim his sword at the people?
Fifth Lun immediately cleared up his relationship with Tumen Shao: "When we enter your land, those who hold spears and crossbows are pawns, led by the military Sima Tumen Shao. I followed with a battalion of envy soldiers, Yiyang Hou, I was born in a poor family, and I know the hardships of farming, so I ordered three times? Didn't let them trample a single seedling? We don't even have armor on us, and we won't hurt the people. ”
Fu Chang bowed his head: "Where are you and the other chief officials?" ”
"Are we heel troops? The army ...... the day before, "Fifth Lun suddenly thought? Hungry to pull out the seedlings and eat, and capture the local people to do Ding Zhuang's things? Maybe it was Xingjun who did it. But the local people saw the large army behind them, as many as five or six thousand people? Don't dare to ask for an explanation? waited until the heel army crossed the border, and then pulled Fu Chang to catch the tail theory.
Therefore, this matter must be thrown upward, and it will never be possible to deal with it on your own.
Fifth Lun immediately said: "Lun's status is low? Just obeying orders? I can't do anything, even if the Marquis of Yiyang and the county magistrate detain me, it won't help. Besides, the military order is urgent, and you can't stay, I have an idea? It is better for the prince to go with us to the county town, where the three armies will meet and rest. At that time, the prince and the general of Tunhu and the county Yin will talk together? to resolve the matter. ”
Fu Chang looked back at the indignant people, a little hesitant? He also said: "Fifth Lun, you said that the envy soldiers under your command did not trample and destroy a single green seedling? Is there another three days to go? Can it be done? ”
"Yes!"
Fu Chang didn't believe it: "What if I see it?" When how. ”
Fifth Lun bareheaded? Picked up his black hair and held it in his hand and said, "Step on one?" So I cut a hair. ”
At that time, people were very concerned about hair, so there was the punishment of hair, which was regarded as a great shame, and Wu Lun did this, which made Fu Chang feel at ease. After he rode back and discussed with the county governor, the three elders and others who came over, he decided to take people to the county town to find General Tunhu's theory.
On the way to the same road, it was replaced by the pig under the fifth Lun to walk in front, Tu Men Shao and the pawn walked behind, Fu Chang carefully observed the fifth battalion, although the clothes were ragged, but the feet were wearing shoes, and the footsteps were not as vain as other auxiliaries, obviously they could eat on weekdays.
As a result, they lost interest in the green seedlings in the fields, and because Xuan Biao passed on the Fifth Lun military order, they learned that they would insult Boyu Sima if they trampled on it at will, and the pigs were cautious. Occasionally, when he accidentally entered the field and damaged the wheat seedlings, he knelt down and wept, hoping to shave his hair instead.
But Wu Lun did what he said, without saying a word, he grabbed one of his hair with a knife and cut it, which caused everyone to exclaim again and again, which made Fu Chang look at him differently.
When he set up camp in the afternoon, Fu Chang even praised Wu Lun and said: "Bo Yu's subordinates are called envy pawns, but the military discipline is better than that of the main pawn, and you are very good at leading soldiers." ”
"Lun is fortunate to follow the late Sima Yan Gong Boshi and learn a few military books." Fifth, Lun lost no time in launching Yan You, who is not a backer, and raised his worth.
After the contempt on Fu Chang's face completely disappeared, Wu Lun said: "My eldest father has fought in the Western Regions for many years, and often tells me about the matter of Fu Gong, the Marquis of Yiyang, beheading the king of Loulan, and Chang'an also spreads the matter of Fu Gong's abandonment. That's what inspired me to join the army. ”
Fu Chang is complacent, Fu Jiezi is his great-grandfather, and those heroic deeds have been spread to this day, and they have also established the status of the Fu family as one of the best in the north.
He also learned that the Fifth Lun Father was following Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang back then, and he laughed even more: "Gan Qian, the grandson of the Marquis of Yichengzhuang, is in the county town, and I will introduce Boyu to him at that time." ”
At this time, the fifth Lun realized that the Tu Men Shao slandered Fu Chang as "the marquis of the previous dynasty", which was really an ignorant misunderstanding.
Fu Jiezi, Gan Yanshou and other generations of lords who crisscrossed the Western Regions and expanded their territory were actually treated very badly in the Han Dynasty. Coupled with the unscrupulousness of his descendants, he lost his title after one or two generations, such as Fu Chang's family, when his grandfather was guilty, and the country was removed.
On the contrary, after Wang Mang took power, because he and Chen Tang were old friends and had old favors. He also wanted to use Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou to destroy the Xiongnu Zhi Zhishan Yu, and respect the temple of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty as "Gaozong" to please the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun.
So Wang Mang overturned the case for Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou, and Gan Yanshou's grandson Gan moved to 1,600 households, pursued Chen Tang as the Marquis of Hu Zhuang, and made Chen Tang's two sons marquis.
Together, there are also people who made meritorious contributions in the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty: in addition to Fu Jiezi's family, there is also Chang Hui, the "Marquis of Changluo Zhuangwu", who sent an envoy to Wusun Kingdom; The first protector of the Western Regions, "Anyuan Miao Marquis" Zheng Ji, etc. Their descendants were all re-crowned marquis in the first year of Emperor Ping, and Wang Mang replaced the Han Dynasty, and the old Lu did not change.
In addition to remembering the old feelings and winning people's hearts, it is probably because Wang Mang, the so-called "Confucian Emperor", actually hides a dream of expanding the territory and serving the four people.
In this way, Fu Chang and Gan Qian, the descendants of the military meritorious marquis of the Xuan and Yuan dynasties, did not miss the former Han Dynasty at all, but were staunch supporters of the new dynasty - of course, Fu Chang still had some opinions about Wang Mang's insistence on changing the name of his hometown Niyang to "Niyin".
Wang Mang's attack on the Xiongnu, for them who were born in the six counties, they are also happy to see it, the Kansai generals, the Kanto ministers, reading the Five Classics, they will be beaten by the Orientals, but to talk about the abundance of martial virtues, who are the six counties afraid of?
However, your Daxin army is so bad that it makes Fifth Lun doubt his life.
Three days later, the heel army arrived near the county town of Weicheng (Ma Ling), and the fifth Lun saw an unforgettable scene.
But he saw that the 8,000 army of Han Wei, the general of Tunhu, was stationed outside the city, surrounded a corner of the city, and even a group of people blocked the city gate and shouted.
The county Yin did not open the door, only talked to him at the head of the city, and the county soldiers and Ding Zhuang in the city were mobilized, and the armor soldiers were distributed to defend the city.
Fifth Lun was stunned, this is the county of the new dynasty, right?
They're the army of the new dynasty, right?
What you know is that the defense is like a thief, and those who don't know think that the enemy army is coming! The bows and crossbows at the head of the city were fired, and the ladders under the city were built on the wall, and the moths were attached to them.
Even Xuan Biao was stunned, and only muttered: "The soldiers regard the people as thieves, and the people also regard the soldiers as thieves, which is really ridiculous." ”
"Rare and weird."
Seventh Biao smiled habitually: "When I joined the army, it was still the end of the Han Dynasty, and I was only in mourning, and the same was true between the military and the people, and it has always been like this!" ”
……
Although General Tunhu was so angry, although some of the military officials who thought they were really here to help the north resist the Xiongnu were full of grievances, Weirong Dayin still did not open the city gate in the end: wealth and food are concentrated in the city, who knows what this group of vicious soldiers outside will do?
If it weren't for the persuasion of the captains, saying that the army stationed on the front line would be backed by Weirong, and the people would rely on the county Dayin for their baggage, food, and people, Han Wei would have ordered the siege of the city.
"In the past ten years, something like this has not happened in the border counties."
Liang Qiuci told Wu Lun what he didn't know: "Half of the so-called Xiongnu raids were actually done by the soldiers stationed in the border fortress, some deserters plundered, and some military officials took the lead. It is said that there was also a school captain who led his troops to capture a small county town in Wuyuan County, slaughtered the people in the city, and then reported that it was the Xiongnu Zuoxian King who entered the fortress. ”
So Wang Mang was furious, felt that the Xiongnu were too much, and ordered more troops on the border, which resulted in even more chaos on the border. In the end, the matter was investigated by Wuwei Si, but the court was speechless for a while, only punished the first evil, and hurriedly covered up the matter.
Fifth Lun's head, he is really insightful, no wonder the county town is so vigilant, it seems that freezing three feet is not a day's cold.
The relationship between the army and the county is so stiff, only the soldiers meet each other, and trample on the green seedlings on the road, is that still a thing? Yiyang Hou Fu Chang teamed up with Yicheng Hou Ganqian to discuss an explanation with Han Wei, but General Tunhu didn't see it, said to compensate Qingmiao, and apologized to the two Hou Ye and the people, that is absolutely impossible, as for the strong men caught on the road, they are fortunate to serve the country!
Fu Chang was furious, pointed to the camp gate of General Tunhu and scolded: "Old man Han Wei, when my family went in and out of a foreign land and made meritorious contributions, the Ru family was still a criminal minister, you wait, I will go to Chang'an with the Marquis of Yicheng and sue you!" ”
Han Wei disagreed: "Let's go, let's see if Your Majesty thinks it's important to conquer the Huns, or is it important for you to wait?" ”
And afterwards, Fifth Lun was glared at by Han Wei a few times, and the meaning was very clear: "You kid brought them here?" ”
Anyway, the evaluation of the fifth Lun in the heart of General Tunhu is getting lower and lower.
Beware of the return of beware, but the imperial court asked for the food allocated to the army, Weirong Dayin did not dare to swallow privately, with a cart of grain pulled into the camp, the ministry was replenished, the only trouble is that along the way, the pig suddenly died one-fifth, and could only go to the vicinity of Shanghe Nongduwei to pull Zhuang Ding to replenish.
After a few days of rest, they had to continue on the road - they had only walked half of the more than 2,800 miles, and the fifth Lun only sighed that the northwest is really big, and the distance between the north and south of Weirong County is too far.
However, the route of the march was changed slightly, and if they left the county town and went straight north, they would have to pass through eight hundred miles of wasteland to reach the next county seat, and twenty days would be enough to exhaust all their food and put the army in a desperate situation.
The other road to the northwest has to pass through the loess ravines, and the biggest problem is that it will leave Weirong County and enter the neighboring Anding County.
General Tunhu chose the second option, and on March 15, the three armies set out again, and the people at the head of the city saw that the new army, which had been stranded for many days, finally left, and all men and women, regardless of gender, competed to celebrate, as if they had sent off the plague god.
Listening to the laughter behind him, Wu Lun only felt that this scene was extremely magical.
The weather is getting hotter a little bit, much colder and more comfortable than the first warm in early spring, along the way, the scenery is more and more desolate, and the mountains are also more, fortunately, there are still water and grass to follow.
There were not many inhabitants along the way, and after being plowed by the fierce Xingjun and the hungry pigs, when the heel army arrived, all that was left was the burned slab houses, the bare wheat seedlings, and the disheveled corpses of women with wide eyes by the roadside.
Shocking, shocking.
This is still under the premise that General Tunhu has repeatedly ordered and reaffirmed, saying that Anding Dayin is the emperor's cousin, and the soldiers should be more restrained.
Fifth Lun stopped in front of the corpse, asked her to be buried, and looked up at the speechless sky, he understood.
"We, the new army, are the biggest cancer on the edge!"
And on the hill of Zuogu in Sanshui County, Anding County, there are also dozens of people, riding horses, all holding bows and knives, looking down at the passing heel army from a high place.
Anding belongs to the six counties, the mountains are many forests, close to Rongdi, from the Qin period to practice war preparation, high strength, the people in addition to farming, but also to shoot and hunt first, is the best source of soldiers for the Han Dynasty to fight the Huns. In addition, this place is the "stable subject country of the capital captain", a large number of surrendered to the Han Dynasty to get the Xiongnu, the Qiang people were settled nearby, they are Sinicized at the same time, the local Han people are also Qianghua Huhua, so the martial virtue is abundant.
This group of people is one of the typical, whether Han or Qiang Hu cavalry, all look at the passing new army, are full of resentment, since the resumption of the war, the Huns have never been to Sanshui, the current devastation, are all done by the new army!
Roughly estimating the number of new troops, one of them stepped forward and said worriedly to the man standing on the edge of the cliff with eyes like a falcon: "In the past three or four days, at least nearly 10,000 people have crossed the border. ”
"Brother, how many times have I said it, my word is not Jun Qi, and my name is not 'Lu Fang'."
The appearance of the leader is a mixed race of Han and Hu, his eyes are like an eagle, and his laughter is like a jackal:
"I am the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaowu, and my name is 'Liu Wenbo'!"
