Chapter 9: The Strange Court (2)
Besides, General Duan Cheng, one of the "Liangzhou Sanming" at the same level as Zhang Huan, since he chased Dongqiang into the valley of Hanyang County, he reported to the imperial court, but he didn't expect that under Zhang Huan's suggestion, he would actually recruit those remnants of Dongqiang! "Lao Tzu has worked hard to hunt down and kill the remnants of the enemy, and when he is about to annihilate the enemy, he wants to surrender them and give them a chance to breathe, so won't the previous efforts be in vain?" General Duan, who saw this letter, was very unhappy, "Okay, you Zhang Huan, I'm afraid that I will make too many meritorious contributions to surpass you, no, I'm really sorry for me Duan with this kind of small-bellied person, hum......"
10,000 unwilling Duan Cheng wrote to the imperial court again, asking to continue the fight and finish the battle!
The letter was still on its way to the capital, and Duan Cheng had already begun to send troops. He sent the vanguard to station in Fanting Mountain, Anding County, forty or fifty miles away from the Qiang soldiers, and then sent Tian Yan and Xia Yu to lead 5,000 soldiers as the vanguard to defeat the Qiang soldiers, and the Qiang soldiers fled to the Shooting Tiger Valley in Hanyang County, and held the key passes in the Shooting Tiger Valley. The two sides were deadlocked for dozens of days, in these dozens of days, General Duan was not idle, he thought hard about the enemy's good strategy, and finally found a way to defeat the enemy, so he arranged 1,000 people to form a wooden fence in the west county of Anding County, with a wooden fence 20 steps wide and 40 miles long to block the retreat of the Qiang soldiers, and then sent Tian Yan and Xia Yu to rate 7,000 people to quietly climb the West Mountain, set up camp through the trench, overlooking the Qiang camp, and sent Zhang Kai to lead 3,000 people to climb the East Mountain, each other is a horn, until this time, the Qiang soldiers found that they had been surrounded, and the secret road was not good! Sure enough, under the attack of the Han army, there was another big defeat, and the upper and lower gates of the Tiger Valley were breached, and the poor mountains and deep valleys were full of the corpses of the Qiang soldiers.
So far, Duan Cheng has gone through 180 battles, killed more than 38,000 people, and obtained more than 427,000 miscellaneous animals, and finally pacified Dongqiang; A total of 4.4 billion was spent, and more than 400 sergeants died. Duan Cheng was therefore named the Marquis of Xinfeng County, and he had 10,000 households. In addition, the more than 4,000 people who surrendered before Feng Chan were divided into the three counties of Anding, Hanyang, and Longxi.
In September, the barbarians of Jiangxia County rebelled and were pacified by the local state and county soldiers, and the Shanyue tribe of Danyang County rebelled and besieged Chen Kun, but was defeated by Chen Kun.
After talking about the barbarian rebellion in Dongqiang and Jiangxia County, we will move on to the main topic, that is, the story of eunuchs and literati doctors.
Speaking of literati doctors, I have to talk about the star Li Ying, who was a literati doctor back then, was suddenly mentioned by Zhang Huan some time ago, which made the eunuchs suddenly vigilant. The eunuchs are deeply aware of this person's influence, and they must not give him a chance, and they must find a way to get rid of this person and truly prevent it from happening!
Actually, the eunuchs are too sensitive, in fact, Li Ying is quite pitiful, yes, pitiful.
Some time ago, when Dou Wu and Chen Fan were in charge, he was recruited to be an official again, although he came back, but at this time it was already the world of Dou Wu and Chen Fan, and he could only do his job conscientiously and be a low-key person.
It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck! Dou Wu and Chen Fan were defeated by the eunuchs, the so-called nest was incomplete, the eunuchs began to arrest people, and Li Ying became a relatively high person in the blacklist because he was too famous back then. This blacklist is the sworn enemies recorded by the eunuchs: Dou Wu, Chen Fan, Liu Shuwei Sanjun, Li Ying, Xun Yi, Du Mi, Wang Chang, Liu You, Wei Lang, Zhao Dian, Zhu Yu for Bajun, Guo Tai, Fan Fan, Yin Xun, Ba Su, Zong Ci, Xia Fu, Cai Yan, Yang Zhi for Bagu, Zhang Jian, Zhai Chao, Cen Hui, Yuan Kang, Liu Biao, Chen Xiang, Kong Yu, Tan Fu for Ba and Du Shang, Zhang Miao, Wang Xiao, Liu Ru, Hu Muban, Qin Zhou, Fan Xiang, Wang Zhang for the eight kitchens...... These are the literati who are famous among doctors, or who have strong leadership skills, or who are officials.
Think about it, at the end of Emperor Huan, after a few months of prison life, he was physically tortured by punches and kicks, and was finally rescued, but he was deprived of political rights, I think Li Ying at that time should have been lost to the extreme, and he was also resentful to the extreme, he was a star literati but had no way to serve the country, pretentious but was bullied by eunuchs, what is the use of thinking that he is full of economy?
Finally, Chen Fan and Dou Wu gave him hope again, he finally saw the way to serve the country and the opportunity for revenge, however, the development of things made him extremely disappointed and terrified, but helpless, he looked at the sky in the dark night, dark clouds, and he couldn't see any starlight, "Hey! He let out a helpless sigh...... Poor, poor at the wrong time.
Now, the three monarchs are dead, and the remaining 32 people, except for Yin Xun in "Eight Gu", Ba Su and Wei Lang in "Eight Jun", who have also been killed, the rest are still alive, and of course the eunuchs can't let them go!
Hou Lan, the regular attendant of Zhongchang, and Zhang Jian in the "Eight And" had a deep grudge because of the case of digging up the ancestral grave more than three years ago, so he instigated his fellow villager Zhu He to write a letter to accuse Zhang Jian of forming a party and rebelling with 24 of his fellow villagers, and asked Liu Hong, Emperor of Han Ling, to issue an edict to arrest Zhang Jian and others; On October 19th, the Great Changqiu Cao Festival instructed the relevant departments to play "Yu Fang, Li Ying, Du Mi, Zhu Yu, Xun Yi, Zhai Chao, Liu Ru, Fan Fan and others are all hook parties, and they should all be arrested."
"Hook party or what?" 14-year-old Liu Hong asked Cao Jie?
"It's people who collude with each other without permission," Cao Jie replied respectfully.
"Then why did I order them all to be killed?" The little emperor then asked.
"Because they colluded together and wanted to rebel!".
"Then do as you want," Liu Hong said he understood Cao Jie's words.
As a result, Emperor Ling issued an edict to arrest the party. Once again, the literati and intellectuals suffered. Someone advised Li Ying to flee, and Li Ying replied very resolutely, "As a courtier, my duty is not to be afraid of difficulties, not to run away from trouble, and not to escape punishment for crimes, besides, I am already in my 60s, where can I run to?" "Yes! Chen Fan's old man is in his 70s and still hasn't given up fighting, how can I, Li Ying, a junior, run for my life, so do I still have the face to mix in the scholar world?
Li Ying personally went to the prison to report, and was beaten to death within a few days, of course, the eunuchs did not let his family go, his wife and children were sent to the frontier, and his protégés and former officials were all imprisoned. Among them, including Jing Gu, the son of Shi Jingyi, who is also a student of Li Ying, may have been negligent and did not get on the blacklist, and could have escaped, but Jing Yi sighed angrily, "Teachers and classmates have suffered disasters, and I will never be safe", so he resigned and returned to his hometown.
