Chapter 412: Chang'an Changes
The beginning and end of the battle of Tongguan was quickly transmitted to Chang'an, and in an instant, there were countless rumors in Chang'an, some people were happy and some were sad, and some people who were hidden in the dark were excited. Follow? Dream?. lā
"Ado, you know the news of Tongguan!" In Chang'an, in the Cheqi General's Mansion, Li Wei called Guo Yan over as soon as he learned the news.
"Now Luoyang is full of wind and rain, but you and I don't know until now." Guo Yan said mockingly.
Just when Tongguan had not fallen, there was already news everywhere in Chang'an City, how similar was this to the situation when the princes were discussing Dong?
"How are Xu Rong and Fan Chou?"
A trace of anger flashed in Guo Yan's eyes: "Xu Rong is okay, after the fall of Tongguan, he was rescued by Jia Junshi as soon as possible, and now he has rushed to Xiliang to join the lord." Fan Chou's army was directly extinguished by a fire because of an ambush on the road, and Fan Chou could not escape. ”
Li Dao's face turned dark, and he said viciously: "It's the hand of the Guanzhong family!" ”
Guo Yan nodded: "Cao Jun passed through Tongguan from the trail to succeed in the ambush on the road that Fan Chou must pass, the timing is so right, there must be their shadow." ”
"Huh! These people saw that I Li Zhiran was about to fall, and they were so unscrupulous! Is it true that after enduring it for so long, I don't have the guts to kill? Li Dao said with a crazy face.
"Order to go down and investigate the matter thoroughly. All the families that have recently changed their movements will be investigated to the end, and all those who are suspected will be raided all over the house to sacrifice General Fan Chou's spirit in the sky! Li Dao shouted almost hysterically.
"No!"
Seeing his guards leave with his own orders, Li Dao seemed to have lost all the strength of his body, sat down on the ground, and said bitterly at the corner of his mouth: "The brother of the year, there is one less!" ”
Guo Yan just watched Li Dao "messing around" quietly, and his heart was also extremely bitter: "Back then, we accompanied Xiangguo from birth to death, without complaint or regret, but we never thought that we had misjudged Xiangguo. There are only a few brothers left now, and Fan Chou is cautious by nature, but he never wanted to die here. Alas! ”
Li Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Aren't we people who are guilty of heinous sins? They are all great rebels, and it would be good to live until now. If it weren't for the presence of a military advisor, I'm afraid you and I would have been driven crazy like Xiangguo by now! ”
"Yes! In his position, he understood this kind of despair to helplessness. Even if we have a large army, even if we want to reform our ways, even if we are kind to the nobles of the family, we are still abandoned by them, and they don't even look at us. In their eyes, we are inferior to even a dog! Guo Yan took a deep breath and said in a low voice.
"What do they have to do with shit that they only talk lightly?" Li Daoruo said frantically: "It's us, fighting bloodily on the frontier, defending this big man!" It is we who fight with other races to make them spend all their time in this prosperous pass! What do we get by being born and dying in this way? In exchange for their disdain, in exchange for their ignorance, in exchange for the birds are hidden in the bow, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked! Why are they? ”
Li Dao and others, who had been fighting in Xiliang for many years, were full of dissatisfaction and anger towards the Han and these families.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the most frequent and most sacrificed by the Han Dynasty was not in the northern frontier, but in the western Liang! Due to the policy of leniency put forward by some scholars who sighed lightly, the Qiang people in Xiliang were defeated and surrendered, and then rebelled. After surrendering, they were released from the Han army, and then rebelled again, and so on.
The scholars in Kyoto only knew that they stood on the moral high ground to "repay grievances with virtue" and "treat others with kindness", and they didn't care whether the captured Qiang people were naturalized or not, and all of them were treated equally, which directly led to the growing problem of Xiliang, which could not be solved at all, until the emergence of Liangzhou Sanming.
Huangfu Gui, Zhang Huan and Duan Cheng, three generals from Guanxi, were pushed out at this helpless time of the Han Dynasty and solved the problem in one fell swoop.
Among them, Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan were quite sleek, meeting the thoughts of the scholars in the court, and strongly advocated the use of soothing, focusing on soothing. But with the finances of the Han Dynasty, this was simply not possible, and the deficit treasury was simply not able to support the costs of pacifying the Qiang people.
In the end, in desperation, Duan Ying, the "God of Killing", was sacrificed. This product was from a low background and was not accepted by the scholars at all, so he had to join the eunuchs and huddle together for warmth. However, its military ability and overall view are first-class, and he is very aware of the current situation of the Han Dynasty, and directly uses the suppression of the rebellion as the only means. The Great Qiang Army solved the long-standing problems of the Han Dynasty, but it also gained infamy for itself - eunuchs and killing gods, and a large number of scholars stood on the highest point of morality and humanity and criticized it wildly.
After 180 battles, more than 38,000 ranks were killed, more than 427,000 miscellaneous animals were obtained, the cost was 4.4 billion, and more than 400 sergeants died. This kind of record is exchanged for a "although Kejie is meritorious, the gentleman is not with him." Evaluation.
A famous general who solved the troubles of Western Xinjiang and contributed to the Han Dynasty, but in the end he ended up miserable, his reputation was discredited, and there were few records. The reason is that because of his low background, the scholars looked down on him, and in order to get ahead, he chose to attach himself to the eunuch party and do his best for the country, but in the end he ended up being a rabbit and a dead dog, which is sad and lamentable.
Dong Zhuo learned from Duan Ying's lesson, and under Li Ru's suggestion, he made meritorious contributions every time he fought, made mistakes every time, tried his best to hide his clumsiness, and always firmly controlled the military power.
Li Dao and others are Kansai generals, but they often see the arrogant faces of those scholars. Zhumen wine and meat stink, there are frozen bones on the road, think about the poor clothes of the people of Xiliang, the flowers and wine of the Beijing sergeant clan, think about the fact that most of the soldiers in Xiliang have only a broken gun and not even a piece of leather armor, and the old soldiers in the capital do eat empty salaries and sell military funds, and everyone is still gorgeously equipped.
How unfair!
That's it, there are still many scholars clamoring that it is better to abandon Liangzhou directly and keep Chang'an. How does this not make Xiliang people chill?
Yuan Shu wanted to subdue Ma Teng because of this matter, Xiliang still needs Xiliang people to govern, and the people here can't trust outsiders at all, and they are full of wariness.
Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were full of anger and disgust for these scholar families, but they couldn't talk about them as martial artists, and the butcher's knife in their hands kept cutting down, in exchange for eternal infamy and a tragic ending.
Resistance is death, and enduring is death. If you want to live, unless you are a loyal dog who is allowed to be manipulated and abandoned by the other party, there is only one way to die. In the eyes of scholars and clans, they were born superior, and the warriors were all lowly people. In this era of cannibalism, it is not a family that only has the life of being eaten!
Dong Zhuo doesn't want to be a dog, he wants to control his own destiny, he wants to stand up with his brother and Xiliang and find a way to live. So he continued to forbear, kept planning, and finally grasped the power, had the right to speak, and finally was able to face the family. But he wanted to change his status, but he faced even greater despair, the family did not care about him at all, did not have the slightest intention of compromise, and only wanted him to die.
Then Dong Zhuo was desperate, crazy, and gave up on himself. This is also what the scholars were happy to see, and then he failed, and became a pawn of the scholars, opening up troubled times for them.
Dong Zhuo's despair and Li Ru's powerlessness are now clearly understood by Li Dao and Guo Yan. The powerlessness of being stuck in a swamp with nowhere to focus, and the faster they struggled to die, it simply made them feel crazy. If it weren't for the hope I saw from Li Ru, these two people might have gone crazy a long time ago, and they would have killed each other and destroyed each other as in history.
Language can kill, and those who have no right to speak can only be slaughtered by others, perhaps this is the case in every era.
