Chapter 225: Exile
In May, Emperor Yang Guang set off for the Eastern Capital, and although he was still alive, in the minds of many people, he was dead.
Because people no longer accept any emperor's edicts, the courtiers of the eastern and western capitals are still barely maintaining their authority, but there are only a handful of people in the world who can still follow the baton of the two capitals.
Now most of the Jin land has become the Li family's own land, after Jinyang determined and stabilized the position, Taiyuan left behind Li Yuan finally began to wave troops to suppress bandits.
Because of the lack of troops, he was trapped in the Bird Mouse Valley by Zhen Zhai'er's chaotic army in May, and Li Shimin led the troops to rescue, attacking inside and outside, and breaking the chaotic army.
After getting out of trouble, Li Yuan did not have any feeling of the rest of his life, because he knew that the rebel army would not pose much of a threat to the army of bandits he led.
It's an inexplicable battle, and everything is wrong.
Zhen Zhai'er's rebels should not have appeared here, but they suddenly appeared, as if they had been waiting here in advance, and then surrounded Li Yuan.
Li Shimin came a little inexplicably, because someone reported that Li Yuan was besieged here, so he led troops to come to the rescue.
It's as if someone arranged the script, and Li Yuan's father and son became the actors in it.
So, Li Yuan immediately understood a truth, now that the world is in chaos, it is not what it used to be, and any moth can pop up, including wanting to play tricks on him, who was left behind in Taiyuan, to make him obedient.
Li Yuan's answer was very simple, he returned to the army and immediately found the officials of Xihe County to meet with Jiexiu.
Li Yuan immediately turned his face and didn't say a word. For the crime of lying about the military situation, he first beheaded Shi Zhengol, the lieutenant of Xihe County.
Then he raised his troops and marched westward. Came directly to the county town of Xihe, and the gate of the county town was closed. Li Yuan was furious, led his troops to break it, captured and beheaded Wang Gan, the Taishou of Xihe County, and brought his head back to Jinyang, hanging his head for public display.
The Jindi Valve and the Kansai World Valve finally collided together.
The timid Jindi valve, in the way they thought was clever, gave Li Yuan who stayed behind in Taiyuan a little.
So, Li Yuan, like his ancestors, did not hesitate to sacrifice the butcher's knife. Kill the Xihe Taishou Wang Qian and the Xihe County Lieutenant Shi Zhengol.
and brought the two wives and daughters to Jinyang to fill the teaching workshop, not only gave the Jindi lord a resounding slap in the face, but also peeled off the face of the Jindi lord from his face and stepped on the ground a few times.
Li Yuan was very angry, and finally began to find a suitable place in the troubled times.
That's right, Li Yuan still had a lot of scruples before and came to Jinyang to take office. It is completely in accordance with the routines used by officialdom, befriending local wealthy families, and then using their power to govern the place.
And now. The Jindi lord was obviously a little out of control in the troubled times, and he actually struck first.
Then Li Yuan is still polite, after returning to Jinyang. first recalled his eldest son Li Jiancheng, and then installed cronies in the army. and secretly went to Guanzhong to recruit fugitives to Jindi.
Yes, officials of Jindi. He can't be trusted by a general.
The big lord of Jindi is also busy, and the bandits in Jinnan have increased a lot, and the sound of the police in Jinnan is endless, and even in Jinyang City, there have been several rebellions.
It can be said that during this period of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Jindi was very chaotic, and Li Yuan, who was left behind in Taiyuan, was competing with the big lords of Jindi, and Jinnan immediately became a pot of porridge.
The big clans led by the Jin Dynasty lord Wang Clan are also miserable, they do have a certain upper hand in the confrontation with Li Yuan, who stayed in Taiyuan, but they are undoubtedly destroying their foundation.
At their instigation, the rebels grew more and more, but they soon discovered that the rebels were so difficult to control.
The leaders of the rebel army, who took it as their mission to kill officials and rebel, took the knives, guns and sticks they provided to tear the local clans to pieces, which was not a threat to Li Yuan left behind in Taiyuan, which was simply digging their own graves.
Yanmen is too guarded by Chen Xiaoyi to take office, he has done much better than Wang Rengong, of course, this is also the reason why Yanmen is broken, and there are not many constraints in it.
And Yanmen is also close to Jinyang, and the noisy direction of Jinyang does not want any more trouble in the north, so they have the ambition to express their goodwill to this Yanmen Taishou.
Chen Xiaoyi soon gathered thousands of men from Yanmen to repair the city and pacify the local people.
The people of Yanmen are rebuilding their homes under the leadership of the new Chen Taishou.
Some people want to rebuild their homes but can't, and even don't even have many opportunities to see their homeland.
Six carriages and more than thirty knights, carried by the south wind, crossed the pass of the Great Wall and entered the boundary of the grassland in the clouds.
The Great Wall, the great structure of the Han family, as it usually did many times, lost its proper role.
Now that the Great Wall defense line in the north of Jindi has become useless, the Mayi defenders who are staging the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Sui and Tang Dynasties, how can they still take care of such a distant place?
The Heng'an town army, which was closer, was not interested in placing its own people on such a long city, so this group of people easily got out of the jam.
This team actually looks strange, if it had been two years ago, it was one thing whether they would have been able to get out of Mayi, but now, they have crossed the Great Wall.
There are many strange places.
They were dressed very strangely, like the Sui people, and like the Turks, they were dressed in Sui armor, and they were riding tall Hexi horses, but they were wearing scalp boots and carrying scimitars.
They look very strange, most of their hair is slightly curled, and some of them have too fair skin, and if you look closely, you will see a very different face from the Sui people.
What's even stranger is that they ...... It's better to say that it's them, most of the team is women, only seven or eight men, to be precise, some small men and old men.
Such a team is actually very dangerous in the Sui Land, and then it will go to the Yunzhong Grassland...... Well, they're quite bold.
Of course, they must have known this, so when they left the Great Wall, they planted a flag on the car.
The flag is slightly red, embroidered with a wolf's head, a golden wolf's head, the flag is not big, and it is very old, but it is hung very high, and it can be seen from afar.
The cavalry team that can hang the golden wolf flag on the steppe is either a noble figure surnamed Ashina in the team, or it has an inextricable relationship with the Turkic royal family, and is endowed with this kind of glory.
Of course, it is not excluded that someone may be impersonating, but you have to think about it, hanging a fake golden wolf flag on the grassland is the same result as hanging a fake sun, moon and star flag in Sui.
If you are caught, the end is not as simple as life and death.
Whether they are impersonating or not, they always hang the golden wolf flag, which also symbolizes that their journey will be much safer and smoother, if they really have such rights.
They walked very slowly, there was no way, the carriage wanted to go faster on the grassland, but it really couldn't be done.
When it was time to camp at night, the winding shadow of the Great Wall in the south was still in their sight.
A large purchase was lit by them, and then they planted the golden wolf flag in a conspicuous place as much as possible, obviously, the unfamiliar environment made them full of vigilance and uneasiness.
"Sister, it seems that someone has been following us."
The sixteen or seventeen girl raised her head and said worriedly.
Her name is Ashina Yunzhen, and her fair skin and pale blue eyes all indicate her noble bloodline on the grassland.
It's just that her braided hair is a little messy and dirty, the armor on her body is a little big and looks very ill-fitting, her leather robe is worn, and her boots are full of patches.
The down-and-out appearance makes it difficult for people to associate her with the Turkic royal family, because she is dressed more like a lowly slave girl with royal blood.
Sitting next to her was her sister, Ashina Rongzhen, a tall woman in her early twenties, she looked very similar to Ashina Yunzhen, but she didn't have blue eyes, her shoulders were very broad, her hair was very messy, she tied a rope at random, draped behind her, and her figure was much taller than Ashina Yunzhen.
She just sat there casually, the bright and extinguished bonfire shining on her body, and on her face, silently, there was an aura that spread around her.
Ash Nayun really habitually looked at her sister with some fear, waiting for her answer.
Although this is her sister-in-law, they have the same blood in their bodies, but both she and the clan know that Ashina Rong is really the most special one among their brothers and sisters.
In the dark, my sister's deep voice sounded, and it was just a simple hum.
Ash Nayun really shrunk his shoulders and didn't dare to say anything more.
After a while, the voice remembered again, it was still as simple as that, "Don't worry, I'm here, sleep." ”
So, Ashina Yunzhen fell asleep, and in her mind, her sister's guarantee was as real and reliable as gold.
Listening to her sister's soft snoring, Ashina Rongzhen also slowly lay down on the ground, looking at the clear starry sky with her hands on her pillow.
As usual, it didn't take long for her rather agitated heart to calm down.
One of the most noble bloodlines of the Western Turks has been reduced to a few women who have come to the Turkic court to offer their loyalty and seek the protection of these distant relatives.
Thinking of this, Ashina Rong really laughed silently, revealing a row of cold teeth, and she couldn't help but feel again in her heart that instead of living in such a shameful life, it was better to die in battle, and at least she could find a good position for herself in the excess of the gods.
Well, if the gods remembered that he had such children.
Unfortunately, after several years, she has never been able to find such an opportunity, because she still has a large group of people to take care of. (To be continued.) )
