Chapter 199: The West River Incident
When Dong Zhuo learned that King Hongnong had appeared near Yique Pass, he immediately guessed who was responsible for this. Dong Zhuo said angrily www.biquge.info "I don't want Han Yi thieves to dare to confront me head-on, Hu Zhen obeyed the order, and ordered you to lead 20,000 cavalry in Xiliangqiang and 30,000 in the southern army, out of Yique and Dagu, attack Yingchuan County, and go directly to the village of Xu County. ”
Hu Zhen immediately responded to the order, commanding the captains Hua Xiong and Zhao Cen, and the captains Fan Chou and Zhang Ji under the command of Dong Yueyuan, with a total of 20,000 cavalry. drove 30,000 southern troops as the front drive and went straight to Yingchuan.
Dong Zhuo asked again: "Wen Wei, if Han Yi rescues King Hongnong, he will make King Hongnong the emperor, and gather all the people in Kwantung to attack me together." The people held by Han Yi's thieves are nothing more than tens of thousands of horsemen of the Southern Xiongnu. What is the condition of the men you have sent? ”
Li Rufu replied: "There is no news of goodness, but no news is good news." It shows that Wang Yang, the guard general who Han Yi stayed in Xihe, did not know that Xiangguo had long been plotting against Xihe. ”
In the court of the Southern Xiongnu of Meiji, Liu Bao, the son of Fuluo, knelt in front of Hu Chuquan and begged bitterly: "Uncle, the thief of Han Yi forcibly borrowed the power of the Han Court to kill my Southern Xiongnu chieftain and take away my Southern Xiongnu tribesmen. Seeing that Dong Xiangguo forcibly transferred the ambitious Han Yi thieves, and ordered us to wait for the Southern Huns to spontaneously drive away the thieves, there were 3,000 Han soldiers guarded by Cui Jun Taishou from Shicheng, and the Han Yi Yu party in the city had been swept away. There are 20,000 West Liangqiang riding in the east of the river, why do you still have it? ”
Hu Chuquan sighed hesitantly: "It's not that the uncle is timid, but that Han Yi thief is too ruthless and spicy." Not only slaughtered more than a dozen noble chieftains of our Southern Xiongnu in one fell swoop, but also used the old incident of the Qianren tribe attacking Jinyang City under the pretext of ignoring the surrender of the Qianren people, and slaughtered more than 17,000 old and young. How many seventeen thousand people are there in my Southern Huns? Uncle, I also have to be wronged. ”
"I don't want Han Yi to use the excuse to prevent my Southern Huns from rebelling again, so I disrupted all the tribes of my Southern Huns, divided them into nine tribes and stationed them in various places, and monitored them at all times with nine Simas. In addition, there are 7,000 Han people and 1,000 scholars who govern it. The uncle nominally had 5,000 tribesmen, but in fact most of them did not obey the call, and only 300 tribesmen were really obedient. Uncle only has this little bit of people, how dare he be rebellious? Leopard, the uncle advises you, you should honestly come back and be the king of Zuoxian, after a hundred years, the uncle will pass on the position to you. ”
Liu Bao waved his hand excitedly and shouted: "Call me a puppet Shan Yu, I'd rather die now." ”
Hu Chuquan was shocked and angry, and waved his hand again: "Since that's the case, I don't care about you anymore." You can plan it yourself, and don't implicate me anyway. ”
Liu Bao bowed again: "Uncle, I am still young, how can I achieve this great thing, and I hope that Uncle will help me." With Dong Xiangguo's hundreds of thousands of troops as your backing, what are you afraid of Han Yi's thieves? Even if he is afraid of Han Yi's thief, Han Yi's thief is far away in Runan County, Yuzhou at this time, more than 2,000 miles away from Xihe Meiji. Are you still afraid of a mere left-behind ocean? Don't you want to be a Southern Hun Shan Yu in a dignified manner? ”
Hu Chuquan thought about it for a long time, then stomped his feet and shouted: "That's it, that's it, anyway, I've been a useless person since I was a child, so I'll take a gamble with you today to see if I'm really useless." ”
Liu Bao was overjoyed and asked, "Uncle, if you want to destroy Han Yiyu's party, will you be able to come out?" ”
Hu Chuquan groaned: "The Southern Huns can also be regarded as having four major departments at this time, one of which is based on Meiji and Yuanyin, and nominally headed by Shuwang; A Tunshang County's Fushi, Houguan, and Gaonu, headed by your uncle Youxian Wang Qubei; A Tunding Xiang County's Shanwu and Luo counties, headed by the Marquis of Subu Gudu; The last Tunlin and Pinglu are headed by the Xihe Taishou Department. ”
"Each of these four tribes has a noble chief who is not satisfied with Han Yi's thief, and when they are gathered, I am afraid that there will be more than four or five thousand people who are scattered. As long as it is agreed to start an uprising on the same day, the first thing to do is to kill the supervisors of each department, leaving them leaderless. Then relying on the prestige of the noble chiefs in the Southern Xiongnu, I called on the Southern Xiongnu to slaughter the Han people in the three counties and turn the three counties into my own. ”
Liu Bao exclaimed: "Dong Xiangguo has sent several teams into the three counties to help us and others. Doesn't the uncle want to join them? There is also the Marquis of the Bone of Xubu, who once established himself as Shan Yu without authorization, and the uncle still wants to unite him? ”
Hu Chuquan scolded angrily: "Foolish, who is Dong Zhuo? Naixi Liang's hungry tiger also. Compared with Dong Zhuolai, who swallowed the Han court, the Han Yi thief is just a rural coyote. The coyote can still be driven away, the hungry tiger is coming, and we will not even have any bones. You dare to seek the skin of the tiger, and you don't know how to write when you die. Also, if you want to achieve great things, you must have a mind like the sky, and the Marquis of the Mustu Bone has always been responsible, but my father and brother persecuted too much, so they will become chaotic with the rest of the tribes. I have forgiven him for his sins, and you must not mention it in the future. ”
Liu Bao was drenched in a cold sweat when he was reprimanded by Hu Chuquan, and then he seemed to realize that he didn't talk about the matter of the Marquis of the Bones. That Han Yi is certainly not a good type, but Dong Zhuo is even more evil. How could Dong Zhuo's party be put in because he wanted to drive out Han Yiyu's party? At that time, the Southern Huns were not yet under the control of others, and the situation might be even worse than at this time.
Dozens of fast horses rushed out of the royal court of the Southern Xiongnu Meiji, and secretly went to the various cantonments. The Southern Xiongnu people lived very scattered, and did not like to build cities and live like the Han people, but one in the east and one in the west, and they were very open and pasture in the land of a hundred miles.
It was ten days before the secret envoy of the Kitchen Spring spread to all the noble chieftains. In a few days, it will be the New Year of the Han people, and the Southern Xiongnu people have lived in the Han land for countless years, and they are also accustomed to the New Year of the Han people. The noble chieftains of the various ministries invited the Sima of each ministry to celebrate the New Year of the Southern Huns with the leaders of the Han people. The leaders of the various ministries and Hermes-Epitek responded one after another, and they were scheduled to celebrate the New Year together on the day of the New Year.
After the chieftains of the various tribes sang and danced together with the leaders of the various divisions and the leaders of the Han people, they were about to launch a rebellion, when suddenly the ring knives of the leaders of the various divisions of Sima and the Han people were cut first, and the sound of Han people shouting and killing was heard everywhere. The relatives and cronies of the noble chiefs of each ministry all fell in a pool of blood, leaving only the Southern Xiongnu slaves of each tribe lying on the ground, trembling.
There were not many people who were really in the noble chieftains of the Southern Xiongnu, and more were the free people of the Southern Xiongnu and the slaves of various tribes. The freedmen may have both ends of the head, but the slaves of the various tribes have long been taken in by the Han-mes-Epitek. As long as they can fight for the Han people with peace of mind, they can all be pardoned as free people in a few years, and receive a certain amount of cattle, horses, and lambs.
The Han people had no slaves as early as 800 years ago, and the slaves knew how to be unmoved, and they had already betrayed the noble chieftains of the Southern Xiongnu in private.
Hu Chuquan and Liu Bao were anxiously waiting for news in Meiji. But Wang Yang, who promised to come to celebrate the New Year together, did not arrive for a long time, and only taught the uncle and nephew to wait anxiously.
It wasn't until late at night, when the New Year was about to pass, that Wang Yang led three hundred iron horsemen to hurry in the wind and snow, and smiled at the uncle and nephew who were already waiting outside the tent: "Hu Chuquan Shan Yu, I'm sorry, I'm going to greet a distinguished guest from afar, so you won't be surprised if you're late for a while, right?" ”
Hu Chuquan laughed and said: "Wang Zhonglang will be a distinguished guest that Ben Shan can't expect on weekdays, as long as he can come to the banquet, how dare Ben Dan have the intention of blaming." It's just that the roast mutton and shochu are afraid that they will be cold early, and they need to be remade. ”
Wang Yang also laughed and said: "I'm not busy, I've already had a meal with your guests, and I'm not hungry at this time, so I don't need to bother to call Chef Quan Danyu." ”
Hu Chuquan laughed and said: "No trouble, no trouble, since Zhonglang General is here, why should I drink a cup of mare's milk shochu." ”
Wang Yang smiled: "I'm afraid that the distinguished guests who came with me are some of them not used to drinking." ”
Hu Chuquan laughed and said: "No matter how distinguished you are, you must follow the customs of the locals." I don't know where the distinguished guest is, so squeamish? ”
Wang Yang smiled but didn't answer, pointed at Liu Bao and asked, "Who is this young man, he looks very majestic." ”
Hu Chuquan said casually: "It's just a close attendant who was recently called by Ben Dan, and it's not worth mentioning." ”
Wang Yang nodded, took a step and said with a smile: "Then let's introduce the distinguished guests who came to the banquet for Hu Chuquan Shan Yu." ”
I saw a middle-aged scribe in a dark cloak, patting the snow on his shoulders as he walked from behind. Liu Bao, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but be shocked, and shouted in shock: "Cui Taishou? ”
Hu Chuquan looked at the person suspiciously, and the man smiled gently: "The contemptible person is the new Xihe Taishou, Cui Jun and Cui Zhouping." ”
Liu Bao screamed, turned around and fled, only to hear the sound of the bowstring, Liu Bao suddenly fell to the ground. The young body spurted bright red blood, wetting the white snow beneath him. Young life continues to fade away with the flow of blood.
Hu Chuquan looked at Liu Bao's convulsive body, his heart was cold, and he just muttered and asked, "Why?" Why ......"
Cui Jun and Xi said with a smile: "Cui Zhouping is no longer filial, how can he be with the fatherless, kingless, tyrannical and unkind Dong thief." ”
Wang Yang smiled slightly and said, "Hu Chuquan Shan Yu, you didn't expect it, right?" Since Liu Bao entered the West River, he has been known to the general. Ben will stay put, just to see if you can continue to be used by my big man. It's just a shame ......"
Hu Chuquan suddenly shouted: "Wang Yang, don't be complacent, my Southern Xiongnu chieftains have already launched a rebellion, and the leaders of the other tribes Sima and Hanmin are only afraid that their heads will fall early, you ......"
Wang Yang laughed and said: "Hu Chuquan Shan Yu, I'm afraid you don't know yet, Uncle Ling is humble, but he is an interesting person, and he informed the general of your plan early." Su Bugu Du Hou was also an honest man, although he did not report it, but there was no reactionary rebellion. Your plan has all been miscalculated. ”
Hu Chuquan fell to his knees in a daze when he heard this, just muttering something to himself. Suddenly, he drew a dagger and stabbed it in the chest.
Cui Jun glanced at it coldly, turned to Wang Yang and said, "Although your lord has a reputation for loyalty, the strength of the Southern Xiongnu is too strong, which makes it difficult for people to feel at ease." ”
Wang Yang said with a smile: "If the Han can settle down, what is the value of these tens of thousands of Southern Hun cavalry?" ”
Cui Jun nodded, sighed, and said: "Right now, the righteous warriors of the Kanto region are swarming, and this official wants to lead three thousand Han soldiers south to help fight against Dong, but I don't know ...... Wang Zhonglang will be."
Wang Yang bowed his hand and said: "The lord once said that the responsibility of the Southern Huns in the three counties is to curb the sharp thorns of the Xianbei people going south. As long as there is such a sharp thorn on this day, no matter how chaotic the Han land is, the Xianbei people will not dare to go south to the Han land for half a step. ”
Cui Jun couldn't help but praise when he heard this: "Virtuous, Han Mingyuan." Zhongzai, Han Fuguo. ”
