The second volume uses the sixty-fifth chapter of the Sui Dynasty Zhou to inspect the border passes
The rebellion set off by Wei Chi Hui was huge, affecting nearly half of the troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty of more than 500,000, but this rebellion was not supported by the army and the people, and it was quelled quickly, from Wei Chi Hui's open rebellion to the defeat and suicide, it only lasted more than 60 days, and the families of the three Shangzhu States, the two Zhu Guo, and the four county princes of the Great Zhou Gate were swept away, and all the men of the Wei Chi family were executed, and the women were confiscated as slaves, only the queen Wei Chi Fanchi was already a nun. The fate of slavery was avoided.
After Wei Chi Hui, Wang Qian's rebellion was quickly eliminated, Wang Qian was besieged in Chengdu, personally led an army of 50,000 to fight with Liang Rui, was defeated, and wanted to flee back to the city, the two guards who were previously defeated by Liang Rui, Da Xi and Yi Fuqian, but the city surrendered, Wang Qian was cornered, was captured alive by Liang Rui, and was ordered to be executed by Liang Rui a few days later.
Except for Sima Xiao, who was once prominent, the three major governors who escaped to the Southern Dynasty to temporarily save their lives, the other two have disappeared, and Yang Jian has gathered the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and no one dares to block Yang Jian's way forward.
In September, Yang Jian abolished the left and right prime ministers, appointed himself as the prime minister, and ordered Yang Yong to be the governor of Luozhou, Tokyo Tsukasa Xin, the general ruler to govern all the territories of the original Qi State, Yang Yong's power can almost be compared with the previous Qi State Lord.
Promoted the eldest son to such a high position, on the one hand, Yang Jian was done in order to consolidate his power, who can be more reliable and assured than his son, on the other hand, Yang Yong served as the envoy with the army this time, and almost won unanimous praise from Wei Xiaokuan and Gao Gong and others, so that Yang Jian can rest assured that the heavy responsibility will be on the shoulders of the eldest son, not to mention that although the big rebellions in various places are peaceful, there are still many small rebels hidden in the mountains and forests, and the people, giving Yang Yong such a big right, also hope that Yang Yong can wipe out all the remnants of the rebels.
The weather in October is getting colder in the north. On a big road to the north of Youzhou, a team of more than 100 knights is driving rapidly, this team of knights are all dressed in black clothes and black armor, immediately bow and arrow, waist knives, in the middle of the clan there is a young man who looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, this young man is riding on a red high-headed horse, his face is calm, although he is young. But there is a temperament that is not angry but mighty.
"Whew." The boy suddenly lifted the reins, and the steed that sat down cried out in dissatisfaction, but slowed down and gradually stopped.
Seeing that the young man stopped advancing, more than a hundred knights who followed him also raised the reins, and suddenly there was a burst of people who neighed for horses, and the whole team stopped.
"General, what do you command?" A sturdy man of about thirty years old approached the boy. Asked out loud.
This team of people is the new governor of Luozhou, Tokyo Tsukasa Xin, the eldest son of the current Zhou Dynasty Prime Minister Yang Yong and his personal army, although Yang Yong's official system is already the governor of Luozhou, Tokyo Tsukasa Xin, far better than a general, but Yang Yong still likes his personal soldiers to call him a general, this title seems to be at any time to go to the battlefield at any time, Yang Yong is reminding himself to cheer up in the future, and must not think that his status is to sit back and relax.
After receiving his will to be the governor of Luozhou. Yang Yong did not stay in Luoyang or other big cities to command the army to suppress the rebel remnants, but handed over the heavy task of suppressing the rebel remnants to Liang Shiyan, Yuwen, Yuan Harmony and others, and he took his own troops to the north to inspect the northern border cities.
Yang Yong knew that his free days would not be too long, and his father could usurp Zhou and establish himself as the emperor at any time, once he became the crown prince. I must need to return to Chang'an, and I can only sit in the East Palace from now on, until I really become the emperor, I am afraid that there will be no freedom.
Now that more than a month has passed, the group has passed through the state, non-stop, and is about to reach the destination, Yang Yong's goal is to first look at the northernmost counties of Anzhou, Jiande, and Yingzhou, and then from east to west. Patrol the entire territory's northern border.
A mountain peak surged in the distance, the mountain was not high, and it was not too dangerous, but Yang Yong was very interested in this mountain, and asked Zheng Xiong who came over: "This is White Wolf Mountain?" ”
Zheng Xiong was not very clear about the mountains in the north, so he beckoned to a guide sent by Youzhou: "Come here, the general has something to ask you." ”
The guide hurriedly walked over: "My lord, what do you command?" ”
As for Yang Yong's identity, the guide is not clear. I walked together for five or six days, but I heard the entourage call this young man as a general. There are many kinds of generals in the Great Zhou, the hussar generals, the generals of the Zhu Kingdom, and even some Yitong generals also like their subordinates to be called generals, although the guide does not know what kind of general this young man is, but when he sees the appearance of the Youzhou assassin respectfully and respectfully to this young man, he knows that the identity of the young man is not simple.
Seeing that the guide came to his side, Yang Yong repeated the question of Zheng Xiongdi, and the guide hurriedly replied: "Lord Hui, this mountain is the White Wolf Mountain, during the Three Kingdoms, the Han Prime Minister Cao Cao's northern expedition to Wuhuan, it was on this mountain that Wuheng was defeated, Wuheng's hundreds of thousands of troops suffered heavy casualties, and finally 200,000 people had to surrender to Prime Minister Cao. ”
Cao Cao fought countless battles in his life, especially in the face of the northern nomads, and repeatedly won great victories, but his reputation at this time did not have the notoriety of traitors after the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and many Han people in the north instead praised Cao Cao's achievements, and as soon as the guide finished speaking, his face also showed a sense of pride.
Although the Xianbei people have been Sinicized for a long time, the status of the Han people is not completely equal to the Xianbei people, and the Han people under the rule of foreign races are always proud of their own nation's defeat of foreign heroes.
"Okay, let's camp in White Wolf Mountain tonight, and by the way, we can also remember the deeds of the ancients." Yang Yong knocked the horse's belly lightly and headed in the direction of White Wolf Mountain first. Yang Yong's own soldiers immediately followed, leaving a puff of smoke and dust behind them.
Wangshan ran dead horses, and the White Wolf Mountain seemed to be close in front of them, but in fact, there were still more than thirty miles away from the place where they stopped, until the horses that stepped down were running and panting, and the group arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Suddenly, Yang Yong expected that there was a village composed of dozens of houses at the foot of the mountain, and what Yang Yong didn't know was that during the Sixteen Kingdoms, Murong Chui of Houyan had Beiping Wuhuan and gathered troops in Guangdu. In order to occupy the favorable terrain, enter the White Wolf Mountain. Later, Murong Xi also built a city at the foot of the mountain and juxtaposed White Wolf County.
It's just that the previous White Wolf County has long been gone, and the remaining households are mostly composed of some hunters who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, since there is a village, Yang Yong and the others naturally do not have to sleep in the wild, and run directly in the direction of the village.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves soon alarmed the whole village, and they watched a team of more than a hundred horses rushing in the direction of their village. The middle-aged men of the village were nervous, and let their women and children hide in the house and not move, and they rushed to the entrance of the village with bows and arrows in their hands.
The population of this village was only two or three hundred, and the total number of young men was only fifty or sixty, and if this group of cavalry had malicious intentions, it was possible that the village would be destroyed, and all the young men gathered at the entrance of the village were sweating profusely, but in spite of this, no one flinched. Because behind them is their homeland.
Yang Yong saw the young and strong guards at the entrance of the village from a distance of hundreds of meters, and hurriedly reined in his horse and said to the guide: "You go and tell them, we are the army of the court, we just want to spend the night and eat, there is no malice, we will buy rice, noodles, vegetables and meat at the price." ”
"Yes." The guide hurriedly rushed forward alone, and negotiated with an old man at the entrance of the village for a long time before returning to report: "My lord." They agreed, but there were so many of us in the village that we couldn't resettle, so we could only live in the ancestral hall temporarily. ”
Agreeing is certain, although these villagers are still far away, they can already see the knightly dress on horseback, all the standard equipment of the court cavalry, if they do not agree, provoke the anger of this cavalry, and a few shocks can flatten the village.
With permission, Yang Yongcai continued to move forward with his own soldiers. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the young adults on both sides had not dispersed, and they all held hunting bows in their hands, and Yang Yong's personal soldiers suddenly became nervous and surrounded Yang Yong, for fear that someone would shoot arrows at Yang Yong.
Zheng Xiong stepped forward. The old man, who was obviously the person in charge of the village, said: "This is the military horse of the court, you are holding a hunting bow, you want to rebel." ”
This was originally a Qi land, only four or five years after returning to Zhou, and it was a land of side hammers, the people were strong, and the awe of the court was far less than that of the mainland, but it did not mean that some elders would think so, Zheng Xiong drank this, and the old man's face suddenly changed greatly: "My lord is angry." The old man immediately let them go home. ”
"Go back, go back quickly, and each of you will go home and get some rice and flour, and the game will be eaten by the army."
The old man still has prestige in the village, and after listening to the old man's words, these young men slowly dispersed, just looking at the horse team of more than 100 people, his eyes were still full of vigilance.
Yang Yong said to Yang Shi next to him: "Take thirty yuan and give him more money, and let him prepare more food and horse feed." ”
In addition to the pro-soldiers. Yang Yong also brought Yang Shi and Luo Yi this time. Yang Shi is down-to-earth and reliable, but Luo Yi and Yang Yong plan to put him in the north to see if Luo Yi can be as different as he remembers. As for Yang Miao, Yang Yong left him in Luoyang, and Yang Yong had sent someone to inform the fifty students who were still studying in the villa outside Chang'an City, so that they could move to Luoyang, and take advantage of the opportunity of holding the power of the northern land and leaving many vacant seats due to Wei Chi's rebellion, and after they returned, they would arrange for these people to go out one by one.
After taking the money, the old man really showed a smile on his face, thirty times the money is enough for a hundred people to eat for a day, the most important thing is that the other party actually gave the money, then it really means that there is no malicious intent, otherwise there is no need to do more.
The old man handed the money to a fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-old boy next to him, and instructed him to hand over the money to the family of the person who gave the food and prey, and then said to Yang Yong and the others: "The old man will lead the way for the military masters." ”
Along the dirt road in the village, the group soon arrived in front of a blue brick house, from time to time on the road there were children poking their heads out of the house, curiously looking at the cavalry, maybe money played a role, the young men in the village did not look at everyone with hostile eyes, and did not ask about the behavior of children in the house, but when a child wanted to push open the door and follow behind the cavalry, they were all pulled back by their own adults.
This blue brick house is the best house in the village, the houses of the villagers on both sides of the road are earthen houses, and even thatched houses, the old man pushed open the gate, the ground inside was paved with stone slabs, the house is quite large, more than enough to accommodate more than 100 people, but the horses can only be bolted outside.
The old man first bowed in front of the ancestors enshrined in the ancestral hall, and recited words in his mouth, before asking Yang Yong and others not to be rude or disturb the ancestral tablets of the villagers in the ancestral hall.
After a while, dozens of villagers came to the door of the ancestral hall and put down rice and noodles, vegetables, prey, and firewood.
These villagers are kind, after receiving the money, not only sent hundreds of catties of rice, but also in addition to dozens of hares, pheasants, there are two tens of catties of fir, the essence used in the war horses is also hundreds of catties, when half of the soldiers to feed the horses, half of the soldiers began to set up a cauldron to make a fire for cooking, disemboweling all kinds of wild things.
The water in the iron pot soon boiled, baskets of rice were poured into the pot, all kinds of game were already packed, and the soldiers used branches to pass through the rack and grilled on the fire, and after a while, the meat smelled fragrant.
In order to rush these days, Yang Yong rarely stops in the state capitals that pass by, and the group can only sleep in the wild most of the time, gnawing on dry food, and the birds have long faded out of their mouths.
Yang Yong took matters into his own hands, barbecued a pheasant, this pheasant removed the fur, internal organs and other things, only more than a catty, the most tender, after a while the outside was already ripe, Yang Yong couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and immediately wanted to tear off a piece and chew it.
"Whoa." There was a sound of firewood falling to the ground at the door, Yang Yong looked up, and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy leaning against the door, looking at everyone with wide curious eyes, Yang Yong vaguely remembered that the boy seemed to be the boy who took the money from the old man at the entrance of the village, and couldn't help beckoning: "You come here." ”
