Chapter 107: Yelang Turmoil

Now Chang'an and the surrounding large area of Guanzhong belong to the internal history boundary.

The lord Duwei is in charge of the Chang'an territory, and the rest of the place is divided into two pieces and handed over to the left internal history and the right internal history respectively.

Although the left and right internal histories, including the lords and captains, were able to enjoy administrative power, they did not have the power to administer punishment prisons.

Gongsun Hong is now in charge of Zuo Neishi, and the only place he can manage is the area east of Chang'an.

A large number of satellite cities around Chang'an City have nothing to do with him, and it just so happens that Du County has naturally become one of the satellite cities of Chang'an City because it is in Shanglin Yuan.

After Zhang Yuan got the edict and understood what Gongsun Hong meant, he didn't think about dealing with him more.

Both sides tacitly believe that neither of them will give each other a favor in this matter, Liu Che is not the kind of emperor who will only hold one side accountable.

Three days later, Gongsun Hong left Taixue to serve as Zuo Neishi, and also took away 100 Taixue students.

Zhang Yuan secretly observed the reactions of many people on this day, such as Wuqiu Shouwang or Mei Gao, as well as his student Yan Yi and Sima Qian, who were still minors, and so on.

As a result, everyone didn't care much about this matter, and basically just went out to study as a group of students.

This matter did not suddenly cause an uproar in Chang'an as Zhang Yuan imagined.

Everything is calm, and there seems to be no undercurrent surging under the calm.

Zuo Neishi is actually similar to the status of a county guard, but on the edge of Chang'an, he belongs to the Beijing official, and he looks stronger than the county guard.

Hundreds of Taixue students were scattered and divided into various counties in the territory of Zuo Neishi, and some of the students who worshiped under Gongsun Hong were taken by him to Huayin City, where Zuo Neishi's governance was located.

After the list was handed in, Zhang Yuan knew that Gongsun Hong wanted to cultivate his own power.

At first, Zhang Yuan also wondered how a person who had no roots in the court could go from a doctor to the position of prime minister in just a few years.

Now it seems that Gongsun Hong should have accumulated a large number of contacts and cultivated his own power in the past few years by taking advantage of Liu Che's emphasis on Confucianism.

Since Dou Ying returned to his hometown, the position of Imperial Doctor has been vacant for a long time.

Originally, the role of the imperial historian was to contain the power of the prime minister with the emperor, and earlier Han Anguo defected to Tian Wei, and Liu Che was dumbfounded.

Then Han Anguo finally transferred him out of the house and got Tian Wei's old rival Dou Ying to take office, but it didn't take long for Dou Ying to have an accident again.

The successive accidents in the court made Liu Che a little tired in his heart, so he let the good old man Zhang Ou become the imperial doctor.

The Son of Heaven, who has always been extremely eager for power, chose to spend it safely at this time, which surprised everyone.

Of course, I am not surprised that Zhang Ou became a doctor of imperial history, Zhang Ou is a second-generation hero of the founding of the country, and his old father's marquis has been passed down to the fourth generation, so it is naturally no problem for such an old qualification to be a doctor of imperial history, if he inherits his father's marquis, and even goes one step further to become a prime minister, no one dares to say anything against it.

Everyone was surprised by the change in Liu Che's attitude, and no one knew what was going on.

Zhang Yuan deduced some roots, but he also speculated based on the memories in his mind.

If Tian Wei really disappeared within half a year, or passed away, Liu Che would take back all the power that originally belonged to the prime minister into his own hands with lightning speed.

This preconceived idea occupies Zhang Yuan's brain, making him always feel that this is the calm before the storm.

Zongxing has been going to Nanyi to collect mad fruit for twenty days, and Zhang Yuan has not received any news about him, and his heart has gradually become anxious.

During this period of time, there was always some bad news from the Southwest Yi, saying that they agreed to rebel, and Liu Che even sent Sima Xiangru to the Southwest Yi again, wanting to completely suppress the rebellion of Yelang Kingdom.

As Zhang Yuan's retainer, in fact, many people know Zongxing.

Especially those people in the three counties of Bashu in the southwest, when Zhang Yuan was majestic, Zongxing could always follow behind.

If someone with a heart discovers that Zongxing suddenly appears in the southwest, it may be a trouble.

Worry is worry, but Zhang Yuan can't help it, after all, his hand can't reach that long.

It was summer all of a sudden, and there were only nine months left before the two-year appointment with Liu Che.

In the eyes of outsiders, Taixue did not play a big role, and many people also knew that the two-year appointment, a large part of them were waiting to see Zhang Yuan's good show.

Those who have a good relationship with Zhang Yuan, such as Wei Qing and Chu Da, have sent people to inquire about Zhang Yuan's situation.

Princess Pingyang also sent someone to Taixue once, so that Zhang Yuan should not have pressure, at most he would come down from the position of Taixue Ling, anyway, Zhang Yuan was still young and there were still many opportunities in the future.

Zhang Yuan put these concerns in his stomach, to be honest, even he didn't know how to have a good way to satisfy others and Liu Che.

He has many ways to reform, but whether it can be carried out is still two words.

To make achievements, is it to let the students of Taixue familiarize themselves with the Four Books and the Five Classics, or to say that everyone can go to the local place to shoulder a responsibility.

No one told Zhang Yuan about this standard, it had only been a year since Taixue was first established, and even Liu Che didn't know what he hoped Taixue could bring to him.

may be able to cultivate a large number of new generation of officials, this is what Liu Che thinks in his heart.

However, the three-year study period is too long, and Zhang Yuan can't send all the students to become officials in advance in order to complete the two-year contract.

Now, although hundreds of students go to the government to learn what to see, they do not have to bear all the expenses of eating, drinking, and drinking.

After the first harvest of the school field outside Du County, Liu Che did not manage Taixue, except for the officials' Yulu is still issued by the big agricultural order, the students do not have to pay tuition, and everything they eat and drink depends on the study field, fortunately, the emperor still has a little conscience and does not collect taxes from the study field of Taixue.

In this way, 100 students are equivalent to voluntary laborers without an establishment.

On the basis of reason, whether it is the imperial court or the local government or Taixue, it can be accepted.

If the credit had not been intercepted by Gongsun Hong this time, maybe Liu Che would have thought that Zhang Yuan had made an achievement in his heart.

At this point, Zhang Yuan has nothing to say, he will cut off the beard, and think of a not so abrupt idea in the future, and improve the system of Taixue.

The capital of the southwest Yiyelang country is Yan County.

Zongxing was alone, wearing the national costume of the Yelang people.

Wander through the alleys.

Now the Han Dynasty army brought by Yelang Kingdom and Tang Meng and Sima Xiangru is about to fight, and the city is searching for Han people everywhere.

Fortunately, Zong Xing found out in advance, so he changed his clothes into the clothes of the Yelang people, and buried all the Han clothes before him in the ground.

Zhang Yuan confessed that he had already bought the madman fruit he bought, but it was only because it was not too much, which made Zongxing take the risk and continue to stay in Juxian County, and he had thought that the storm would come so quickly.

On the other side, in Qianwei County Fu Pass, Sima Xiangru and Tang Meng were drinking and singing in the military tent, and the two did not take the so-called Yelang Kingdom in their eyes at all.

This time, the imperial court requisitioned nearly 10,000 slave troops, as well as 3,000 regular troops.

Among them, there are as many as 500 soldiers, and Sima Xiangru is confident that these 13,000 people can sweep away the Yelang country with a population of only 100,000.

In fact, in the eyes of the Han people, the current Yelang Kingdom is a southwestern county called Qianwei County, and as for the rebellion of the Yelang Kingdom, in their eyes, it is just an ordinary bandit rebellion.

However, it has only been repeated in a few years, which will definitely make Liu Che very unhappy.

He directly ordered the relocation of the county of Qianwei County, which is the so-called Yelang Kingdom, to the county seat of Nanguang, the middle of Qianwei County.

And set up the Hanyang Lieutenant in Qianwei County, leading 3,000 soldiers, that is, the 3,000 soldiers and horses under Tang Meng and Sima Xiangru now.

As soon as Sima Xiangru came to hold the edict of the Son of Heaven, he took over the military and political power of Qianwei County.

Earlier, in order not to make the people of Yelang Kingdom so resistant, most of the county orders of Qianwei County were held by Yelang people, and even Yelang Hou Duotong was able to have his own army.

In this way, the people under Tang Meng's hands were all crowded in Fuguan, in fact, this was no different from before Yelang Kingdom did not defect to the Han Dynasty earlier.

Tang Meng also thought in his heart that he would continue to raise the strength of Yelang Country to the fullest, and then swallow it in one bite to obtain a lot of military merits.

But now all the thoughts in his heart have come to naught, and even after Sima Xiangru comes, the biggest credit will be given to Sima Xiangru.

Tang Meng's road to the feudal marquis can be said to have been cut off.

This seems to be a bad thing for him, but it is also a good thing, after Sima Xiangru came to Fuguan with soldiers and horses, Tang Meng thought about it and no longer dwelled on the merits.

If Duotong, who was hundreds of miles away, knew that Tang Meng and Sima Xiang's relaxed posture was now, he didn't know if he would vomit blood angrily.

I've been hunting down Han people under my rule, and a monarch has taken it so seriously that you two are actually drinking and having fun.

But Duotong will not know what happened in Fu Guan after all, and he is still calling on the Yelang people, regardless of men, women, and children, to take up arms and fight hard.

Duo Tongren is not too stupid, and even contacted some other large tribes to resist the Han army together.

However, the rest of the major tribes, because they have been captured by the Han army for a long time to do labor, there are not many men in the clan at all.

The root cause of this matter also lies in the fact that Tang Meng did not want Zhang Yuan to be conscripted for labor in Yelang Country, and Tang Meng's method of strengthening and weakening branches was actually wrong, so that the entire Southwest Yi had no strength to resist the Han army except for Yelang Kingdom.

At present, Zongxing is blocked in the county town of Juan, and he has long wanted to get out, but the only exit from the county town has been blocked.

There were thousands of Yelang soldiers guarding inside and out, and even if Zongxing wanted to get out of the city, there was no way to do it.

The county town is backed by mountains, and it is a valley with only one exit, such a place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if others attack it with absolute superiority, none of the people inside can escape.

"General Sima, why are we wasting time waiting here again.

Why don't you hurry up and gather troops and horses, and directly send troops to Juxian County, and kill Duotong and a group of thieves to prevent future troubles. ”

After Tang Meng finished drinking a glass of wine, he suddenly shouted.

It has been nearly three days since Sima Xiangru came to Fuguan, but he still has not given the order to send troops.

"General Tang doesn't need to be in a hurry, Your Majesty is merciful, and the purpose of sending me here this time is not to completely get rid of the Yelang tribe.

The southwest is poor, the Han people will not come here, and His Majesty also needs the existence of the Yelang tribe.

This time, it was just to knock Duotong and let him understand the gap between Yelang and the Celestial Empire, so that he would not regenerate his rebellious heart from now on. ”

Sima Xiangru smiled and said, but in his heart he was complaining that Tang Meng was a rough person, and he didn't understand Liu Che's mind at all, no wonder he had been staying in this poor place all these years.

"But wouldn't it be better for us to defeat the Yelang Army as quickly as possible?"

Tang Meng still didn't understand, so he asked.

"According to the information from Ju County, Duotong is making the people of the Yelang tribe take up arms to resist.

Why don't we give him more time to prepare, so that even if he loses, he will be convinced.

Now that the Yelang army has been wiped out directly, Duo Tongxin will think that he is not prepared, and he will definitely have other thoughts in the future. ”

"General Sima Gao Zhi, it's really an eye-opener for Zaixia."

Tang Meng picked up the wine bottle and toasted Sima Xiangru with a glass of wine, and then drank it all.

Sima Xiangru waited for another five days, and then slowly ordered his troops.

Leaving 2,000 slave troops to guard the rear and undertake the task of escorting grain and grass by the way, Sima Xiangru and Tang Meng took the remaining 11,000 men and horses directly in the direction of Yanxian.

There is no obstruction of the city on the road from Fuguan to Yanxian, although the road is more difficult to walk, but the road repair in the past few years has been able to keep the original speed of the more than 10,000 foot soldiers.

The mountains and forests on both sides of the road were full of Yelang people's eyes, Sima Xiangru and Tang Meng set off from Fuguan, and in just one day's interval, the news reached Duotong's ears.

Tang Meng knew the habits of the Yelang people, and also reminded Sima Xiangru and asked him if he wanted to send someone to clean up these Yelang people's spies.

However, although Sima Xiangru despised the Yelang people, he also knew that in the mountains and forests, the Han army's foot soldiers could not take advantage of anything.

There is no big problem for Duotong to always know the dynamics of the Han army.

As a result, there was no way to hide the news in the city of Yanxian County, whether it was Duotong or the children on the side of the road, they all knew that there were 10,000 Han troops coming to Yanxian County.

In such a long period of time, Duotong also organized more than 30,000 Yelang men who could take up arms and fight.

If Zong Xing hadn't hid quickly, he might have been captured by the Yelang Army and used as cannon fodder.

Now the most nervous people in the city of Yanxian are not the Yelang people, the Yelang people feel that 30,000 people will definitely win against 10,000 people, so everyone is very relaxed.

The nervous ones were the Han people who were captured, and they were afraid that after the Yelang people lost, they would lose their lives first.
