Chapter Forty-Nine: The Burning Hexi "Four"

The flames burned in the barracks of Captain Wuhuan, and there were still traces of a brief fight on the ground, Zhang Ye leaned against the wall and held the sword in his hand tightly, staring at the outside of the wall.

Zhang Yuan, who rushed back from Yanmen County overnight, never dreamed that he had just ordered to gather troops and horses to go to Shanwu City. I saw that the Flying Fox Army was forming a military formation not far away to surround itself little by little, and Zhang Ye himself immediately gave up the plan of leading troops to reinforce Zhang Yuan, and was ready to make a desperate attempt to lead the Wuhuan Captain's Department, and after defeating the Flying Fox Army, he fled to the grassland in exchange for his own life.

But all this completely changed after Ling He took out the edict of the Son of Heaven and the Tiger Talisman, and the generals of the Wuhuan Captain Department immediately turned against him and begged to surrender after seeing the Son of Heaven Talisman, and no longer listened to his command. Zhang Ye had no choice but to break through with his cronies and retainers, but as soon as he was halfway through the run, he was intercepted by the Flying Fox Army and his former subordinates, and had no choice but to retreat to the barracks.

Seeing the pikemen surrounding Zhang Ye's own barracks little by little, the silent pressure made Zhang Ye and the others in the room feel desperate.

I turned my back on the world and humiliated my ancestors, just for an ethereal dream, sad, lamentable, Zhang Ye laughed at himself in his heart with a sword. Looking at the soldier who was already close in front of him, Zhang Ye shook his head helplessly and put his sword across his neck. Zhang Ye had only one thought in his heart at this time, the only thing in the world is death.

Ling He walked in front of Zhang Ye's body, the military tycoon's body still had unknown convulsions, and his mouth was open and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Ling He knew Zhang Ye more than ten years ago, this carefully selected warrior of Longyou, they had guarded Shenjing Chang'an together, and had also fought the Xiongnu side by side, and also expeditioned to the Western Regions together. It's just that in recent years, he has gradually become estranged, and Zhang Ye followed his heart to join the Hexi Guliang Group and became a corrupt official who scraped the people's fat and anointed the people.

Zhang Yuan, the guard of Yanmen County, has wooed himself more than once, and he refused Zhang Yuan's invitation because he was not ashamed of the benevolence and morality of the Guliang students, and did all the despicable and shameless and obscene things behind his back. The big husband has something to do and something not to do.

"Cut off Zhang Ye's head and keep it for the purpose of closing the case later." Ling He quickly issued an order: "The Wuhuan Captain Department and the Flying Fox Army immediately rested, and then marched to Bingzhou, preparing to meet the Che Cavalry General Zhang Anshi. ”

Zhang Anshi sat in the carriage and looked at the scenery in the distance. This time, he was appointed by the Son of Heaven to come to Hexi to deal with all military and political affairs in Hexi and even Liaodong.

Before leaving, Prime Minister Huo Guangzhao came to the house to discuss, and he had already informed himself of the Son of Heaven's policy. Looking at the information sent from the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Historian's Yamen, Zhang Anshi understood that the counties of Hexi and the vassal tribes had completely separated from Chang'an, and this time he sent Zhang Anshi to Hexi not to appease Huairou.

Zhang Anshi led the captain of Changshui to set off overnight, leaving only his own long history in Chang'an to wait for the officials of Jiuqing Yamen to support Hexi, and once he gathered his manpower, he immediately set off to join him in Bingzhou.

Zhang Anshi also recruited a group of scholars when he was in Taiyuan, but most of them were Legalist scholars, and the troubled times should be used to re-enact, and the sole respect for Confucianism when Emperor Xiaowu was also full of loopholes in Zhang Anshi's view.

At this moment, a messenger rode a horse from afar in the direction of the convoy, and after a while, he arrived in front of the convoy, and quickly came to Zhang Anshi's car behind him and said: "General Qiqi Che Cai, General Liao is in a hurry!" After speaking, he handed the letter to Zhang Anshi, and saw Zhang Anshi take the letter and waited on the side.

Zhang Anshi opened the letter and saw that it read:

Che cavalry general Zhang Gong Jinglan, the lower official Liao general Fan Mingyou has occupied Shanwu City, captured the county guard Zhang Yuan, the county lieutenant Li Jun, the Flying Fox Military Academy Captain Ling He also captured the Wuhuan captain Zhang Ye, the four counties of Hehuang have all broken away from the Han law, and have bad intentions. The four counties of Hehuang are all mastered by Gu Liang, the big clans, the big landlords are rampant in the township, the people of Li suffer deeply, where the last general goes, the people only know the county guard, do not know the Son of Heaven Chang'an, do not know the Han law. According to the confessions of the rebel officials interrogated by the lower officials, Zhang Yuan and others already had the intention of rebelling.

There was resistance everywhere, but most of them had been wiped out. Wuhuan and other departments are still assembled in the east of Shanwu City, and the eastern governor is still in the confrontation, and the lower officials have repeatedly ordered the leaders of the eight surnames to report to Shanwu City, but many groups of messengers have not heard from them, and I am afraid that they have been righteous. The battle of Hexi is inevitable, and His Majesty's order to turn Hu into Han may not be completed in the short term. Hexi is already in the midst of fire and water, and it is hoped that the general of Che Cai will preside over the overall situation of Hexi as soon as possible, and the general of Liao Fan Mingyou will respect.

After reading Fan Mingyou's report, Zhang Anshi completely understood that the entire Hexi had become a powder keg, a base of the anti-Han alliance, and perhaps even the biggest storm since the founding of the Han Dynasty, even more than the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, the difference is that the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion was at least an open fire, and the Hexi thieves were secretly colluding.

Thinking of this, Zhang Anshi quickly ordered: "The ruling Jinwu and the Tingwei officials in the army quickly went to Shanwucheng to assist General Fan in cleaning up Yanmen County, and the army immediately diverted to Shanwucheng to join Fan Mingyou, the general of Huliao, and sent someone to inform the Flying Fox Military Academy Captain Linghe, and ordered him to lead the Flying Fox Army and the Captain of the Wuhuan Guard Department to also march to Shanwucheng, quickly!" ”

Hearing the order of the cavalry general Zhang Anshi, the ruling Jinwu and the officials of the court and the messenger immediately dispatched, and the entire army also increased its speed and advanced rapidly towards Shanwu City.

Zhang Anshi immediately began to write a recital, reporting what he saw and asked along the way to Chang'an. After writing it, it was handed over to his cronies and retainers and ordered him to quickly return to Chang'an to report to the Prime Minister of the Son of Heaven, looking at the figure of the retainer leading people away, Zhang Anshi sighed, the state affairs are difficult, and the courtiers can only eat the king's Lu and bear the king's worries.

That night, Zhang Anshi's army arrived at Shanwu City, Yanmen County, outside the city to protect Liao General Fan Mingyou, Flying Fox Military Academy Captain Ling He, sentence note military captain Zhu Anhe lined up to greet Zhang Anshi, the second person in the Han military.

When Zhang Anshi saw the generals, he didn't say much to the outside of the city, and immediately entered the city after a simple salute. The whole Shanwu City was awakened by the sound of war horses, the people in the city saw in the window, a team of soldiers stationed in the city, in the firelight can only be seen, Xuanjia red robe, halberd like a forest, the people of Shanwu City can't stop smacking their tongues, Hexi since the Xiongnu retreated to Mobei, the people of Hexi of the Han Dynasty have never seen the arrival of the Xuanjia army.

There are only a few Xuanjia armies of the Han Dynasty, except for the Juyan army in Juyan City, the Wuwei Lieutenant who lives in Tun Wuwei, and the Gaoque army that lives in Gaoque as a reserve.

It is the sixth captain of the Northern Army who is guarding the Son of Heaven in Guanzhong.

And these nine Xuanjia armies are the foundation of the entire Han Empire, any one of them will make the enemy fearful, and it is also the pride of the Han military, because these nine sharp arrows have not lost a battle, and even Li Guangli was wiped out in the Western Regions, and the Juyan army also fought all night, defeating the Xiongnu and snatching back the bodies of the dead compatriots.

The best soldiers, the best equipment, the best horses, the best treatment.

It is remarkable that an ordinary soldier can eat meat once a month.

As for the Xuanjia Army, there is meat at every meal, and the meals are all high-quality beef, mutton, and every meal is dairy products.

All heroes in the world who have the heart to grow are proud to be able to enter these nine Xuanjia armies.
