Chapter 54: General Zhenbei
Luoyang Imperial Palace.
Zhang Rang, the regular attendant, took a step forward and screamed: "If there is something to do, play early, and if there is nothing to do, stop the court!" ”
"Minister, there is a play."
Zhang Rang's voice fell, and Geng Lin, the lieutenant general of the Imperial Forest Army, said out of the class.
Emperor Ling saw that it was Geng Lin, and his expression eased a lot: "What did Aiqing play?" ”
Geng Lin said: "Your Majesty, Weichen got an urgent report from Xuanwu Taishou Zhang Zhen yesterday. ”
"Oh! Aiqing is coming quickly. The Spirit Emperor's godless eyes finally flickered with a hint of interest. Since three years ago, he got Xuansu Taishou to recover the land of Sanhan, he rarely took out money, feasted hundreds of officials, feasted in the palace for three days and three nights, and then drafted a decree, from the five counties of the Han Dynasty, the four counties of Gaozu Han remained unchanged before, Chen Han, Ben Han, and Ma Han were collectively referred to as the three Han counties, becoming the fifth county, and Zhang Zhen was in charge of the land of the five counties of the Han Dynasty, and was knighted as the marquis.
And then recorded in the annals: in the first year of Guanghe, the emperor sent Xuansu to Shouzhen, led the army of more than 10,000, went south to Xuansu, and after seven months, recovered the land of Sanhan.
With such a great achievement, Emperor Ling was naturally excited for several days, and for a few nights, he was much more energetic than before, and he fought for several hours, killing all sides. After that, I never heard from Xuansu again.
Geng Lin's voice fell, and the faces of the civil and military officials above the hall became extremely good-looking, some were surprised, some were happy, some were vicious, some were curious, some were jealous, and some were disapproving.
"Your Majesty, this is Linxianghou, a month ago, the good news: Liucheng Wuhuan Qiu Liju, Shanggu Wuhuan Difficult Building, each called the king, Liaodong subordinate country Wuhuan Su Fuyan, self-proclaimed King Qiao, right Beiping Wuhuan Wuyan, self-proclaimed King Khan Lu, Wuhuan is divided into four tribes, friction between each other constantly, so God-given opportunity, so take the opportunity to the Northern Expedition, led 40,000 troops, lasted May, swept away the Wuhuan clan, slaughtered... Massacre...! Geng Lin's hand holding the good news at this time trembled, and the beads of sweat the size of beans seemed to be raining.
Emperor Ling looked at Geng Lin with an unhappy expression, and said, "Geng Aiqing, is it a loss of national prestige to act like this?" ”
Geng Lin knelt under the Dan Qi and hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. ”
"Really?" Emperor Ling said coldly, "Father, I went to get the good news, I want to see what the news is, even Geng Zhonglang would be so out of shape." ”
After Emperor Ling finished reading it, he gently put down the good news and asked, "Geng Aiqing, how much do you think what this letter says is true or false?" ”
When Geng Lin heard this, he kowtowed three times before continuing: "There is no lie in the good news, and the minister guarantees it with the head of the item." ”
"Hahaha! Good. ”
The civil and military officials looked dazed.
Seeing this, Emperor Ling proudly gave Zhang Rang a look, and Zhang Rang understood and read out the good news.
After listening to this, there was silence in the hall, and the image of a bloodthirsty butcher was imprinted on everyone's heart, ugly, savage, brutal, bloated, vicious, and cannibalistic.
Emperor Ling didn't care about the lives of the lowly Wuhuan people, what he cared about was that the Wuhuan clan was exterminated.
Taifu Yuan Feng came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Linxiang is so heroic, why don't you send him to suppress the Xianbei who invaded the two states of Youyou, so as to relieve the suffering of the people of Biansai Li." ”
"Taifu, what you said is extremely true."
Situ Wang Yun said: "Your Majesty, Xianbei is mostly cavalry, and Wuhuan is newly restored, presumably the Xuanwu generals are now poor and lacking in horses, and it is not suitable to send troops." The state cavalry should be sent to help the townspeople, and the enemy can be broken in the near future. ”
"Hmmm! Come! Proposed the will, spread the will, Feng Xuanwu Taishou Zhang Zhen as the general of Zhenbei, led 30,000 and the state iron cavalry to drive out the Xianbei cavalry, and rushed back to the Saiwai! "Xianbei's tumor really makes the Spirit Emperor uncomfortable. In the sixth year of Xiping (177), April. The three-way army sent was defeated by Xianbei, and now he sees in Zhang Zhen the hope of recovering a game, and to be honest, he is moved. Repelled the Xianbei army, who would dare to say that he was incompetent in the future.
Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Emperor Ling seemed to be much taller and majestic in an instant at this moment, and said decisively: "Zhonglang General Lu Zhi, I will give you the sword of the Son of Heaven and the talisman, and go to the state to mobilize soldiers and horses. Let the father send a small official to Xuansu to pass on the decree. ”
A flush swelled across Lu Zhi's face, and he said solemnly: "Old minister, obey the order." "He really didn't expect His Majesty to send him.
Emperor Ling flicked his sleeves up, and Zhang Rang screamed: "Retreat." ”
This retreat woke up an old man in his fifties, the old man's eyes flashed with tears, and he muttered to himself: "This is hundreds of thousands of living lives, how suspicious is such an act and beasts, the people are not wrong, why don't even the people let go." ”
Emperor Ling has already walked away, and today he seems to have changed as a person, with a little more majesty and a touch of domineering. Looking at the figure of Emperor Ling gradually moving away, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu suddenly felt a little unfamiliar, is this still the emperor who didn't think about the government all day long, sold officials in the West Garden, rode a donkey cart, and only thought about playing with the harem beauties and concubines all day long?
......
Xuansu is too guarded.
Now that it is winter, the first snow of the year has fallen, looking at the flying snowflakes, Zhang Zhen fell into deep thought.
Yesterday, Luoyang came to the order, asking him to lead the Hezhou cavalry to drive out the Xianbei cavalry.
"My lord, the three gentlemen Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, and Juan Pei are asking to see you outside." At this time, Ma Jun walked in from outside the study.
Zhang Zhen retracted his eyes and looked out the window, and said, "Hmm! Let them in! ”
Moment.
The three of them learned that Zhang Zhen was going to leave tomorrow, so they hurriedly put down the government affairs in their hands and rushed over.
"Lord, are you really going to leave tomorrow?" The judge asked impatiently when he came in.
"Hmmm! Zhengnan don't have to worry, there will be no accidents with Demou and Darong on this trip, if they can arrive one day earlier, they will be able to drive away the Xianbei dog thieves one day sooner, and the people will be out of the sea of suffering one day sooner. ”
"Lord, just the three of you go to Bingzhou, are there too few people, let the blue wolf camp go together!"
"Gonghe, let the soldiers of the Blue Wolf Battalion rest for a while! They are also tired. If there were three of us, the marching time would be greatly shortened. Besides, this time I went to Bingzhou, and there were also 30,000 Bingzhou iron horsemen, which is the elite of the big man, and I believe it will not disappoint me. Zhang Zhen explained.
Tian Feng knew that the lord had decided on the departure time, and he would definitely leave tomorrow, and what he could do was to solve the worries of the lord: "Lord, rest assured, we will do our best to wait for the lord's triumphant day." ”
"Alright, alright! Don't make it like life and death, it's not like I won't come back, there are a lot of things in the county now, I can leave it all to you after I leave, but you have to be prepared. ”
"My lord." Everyone was about to continue, Zhang Zhen waved his hand, and then explained some things to the three of them.
The three reluctantly retreated.
Nothing was said all night.
Next.
The three horsemen stood at the west gate of Xuansu City, facing the snowflakes, Zhang Zhen waved his hand to stop all the soldiers and the people who wanted to send each other.
Originally, there were only soldiers to send each other, I don't know who left to reveal the news, and the people also came, and in the end, the people thought that Zhang Zhen would not come back if he went, so they came to say goodbye with tears.
It took a long time to explain the situation clearly.
Zhang Zhen rode the green wolf in front, and Cheng Pu and Zu Mao followed left and right.
"Demou, why do you say that the lord is this? The angel only arrived yesterday, and today the lord is in a hurry to set off, and the angel is afraid that he has not woken up yet! Zu Mao said.
"The lord's mind is beyond your reach, shut up and hurry away." Cheng Pu glanced at it angrily, and sped up his horse and rushed forward.
