Chapter 588: Liangzhou will be turned into a red land
In the wide Chongde Palace, above the court, in the attention of the ministers, the three people who were ordered to be edicted by Emperor Liu Hong to enter the Beijing Division stood respectfully in the court with Fuquan.
"The chaos in Liangzhou, the trouble of the henchmen of the Han Dynasty, all of them are the humerus of the Han Dynasty, I hope that this westward expedition will revitalize the brigade and return to the division." Liu Hong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, sat in the hall, looked at the people in the hall, and said in a loud voice.
Everyone in the hall saluted in unison and said: "The ministers will not disgrace their lives, go west to Liangzhou, and return to the brigade." ”
Subsequently, under the guidance of the emperor's eyes, Zhang Rang, the chief attendant, announced the will to fight the rebellion in court, and after the will was announced, everyone retreated.
Outside the west gate of Luoyang City, more than 10,000 cavalry of the Han army gathered here, and the soldiers who had just been rewarded by the imperial court had happy and angry faces.
On the one hand, some people are dissatisfied with the fact that the Yellow Turban Moth thieves who have just pacified Taiping Road and cannot enjoy too much stable life, so they have to go thousands of miles to the bitter cold west to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion; On the other hand, some people are full of joy that they can make meritorious contributions to quell chaos. The morale of the army is different, and it still needs to be appeased by the generals of various units.
Fuquan took three people to the army, first in public denounced the Liangzhou Han and Qiang rebels for being disloyal to the Han Dynasty, causing chaos in Xizhou, the Qiang people repeatedly rebelled, and did not want to be loyal, he was appointed by the emperor Liu Hong to crusade against Liangzhou, and then he gave an order to order the army to go out.
The army marched slowly, and after saying goodbye to Fu Wan, Ma Riyan and others, who were assigned by the emperor to see off the army, Fu Quan turned around and mounted his horse and led people straight to the west.
"Junhou, General Pingxi has left, don't worry!" Seeing the ambush beside him, he was still looking ahead, and his nephew, who was drifting away, Ma Riyan opened his mouth to comfort.
Fu Wan shook his head and smiled: "The lonely and ugly appearance makes the horse shoot and laugh." ”
"This person is humane, and the prince is serious. However, this time Pingxi will return, the prince will be the marquis of ten thousand households, and then one of the two marquis will be ten thousand households, this will be my great Han story! Ma Riyan smiled and comforted, after all, it was his own nephew, it was normal to have such a thing, Ma Riyan was dissatisfied with such a thing.
"Xie Ma shoots auspicious words!" Fu Wan shook his head and smiled bitterly, although it is a good thing to be promoted to the food for nothing, but when he thought that this was his nephew, in exchange for his life, he just followed it, and Fu Wan's heart was heavy, and he felt sorry for his brother who died early.
In the words of the two, the general Pingxi mentioned was none other than Fuquan, who was appointed by Liu Hong as the general of Pingxi this time, and took charge of Liangzhou and Sanfu Zhubing, and the deputy general Zhonglang General Huangfu Jianshou and Zhang Meng sent troops to crusade against the Liangzhou rebellion.
As for Ma Riyan's mouth, the matter of ambushing the marquis of ten thousand households, but there is a reason for it. In the past, after conquering Xianbei, Fuquan received merit and was named the Marquis of Yangdu by Liu Hong, because his 10,000 households were more than his uncle's 3,600 households, so he began to refuse, forcing Emperor Liu Hong to later change his order and reduce the food to let Fuquan accept.
After pacifying the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in Taiping Road this time, Liu Hong obviously learned a lesson, in order to fear that Fuquan would continue to refuse, he first took the former Emperor Huan Emperor had no children, he was ashamed of the throne, and should take care of Emperor Huan's daughter, and directly added Liu Hua's husband, Emperor Huan's son-in-law Fu finished his marquis food yi 3,000 households, and made up 6,600 food eups, and then rewarded the Yangdu Marquis food yi who added Fuquan, and made up 5,000 Hu, so that Fuquan accepted the reward logically, so that he did not refuse.
In Ma Riyan's view, with Fuquan's previous achievements, even if it is difficult to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou this time, at least it will not be in vain. And both the emperor Liu Hong and the courtiers understood that as long as Fuquan did not let the Liangzhou rebels continue to expand, causing the impact of the first three Hanqiang wars, or even reducing the scale of the rebels' influence, even if it could not be completely pacified, it would be a great achievement for the imperial court, and it would inevitably continue to be rewarded at that time.
And if he is rewarded, Fuquan's Yangdu Hou Shiyi will continue to be added, so it seems that Liu Hong will definitely continue to improve Fuwan's Shiyi for insurance, and this is why Ma Riyan said goodbye to Fuwan in advance.
Rushing away a trace of the sorrow of family parting, Fuquan took more than 10,000 people and walked slowly all the way to Chang'an.
Because of the different emotions of the soldiers in the army, Fu Quan did not rashly order the soldiers to rush to Liangzhou to quell the chaos before the beginning of spring, he knew that if he wanted to fight quickly, it was undoubtedly an act of looking for death. Think about it, in the three Hanqiang wars, there was no quick solution, can you rely on yourself to achieve a quick solution? What's more, among the Liangzhou rebels on the other side, there is Han Sui, who is not low in resourcefulness, and this is also an underestimated old monster.
Therefore, along the way, Fuquan marched very slowly, and the main thing to do was to order the generals to appease the emotions of the troops, except for those soldiers who could continue to make meritorious contributions to the war, Fuquan asked the generals of each department to adjust the mood of the soldiers who were not able to reunite with their families for a long time after pacifying the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in Taiping Road.
Even he, the main general, had been reunited with his family in Luoyang City for more than a month, and now he was on the march, and he was in a lost mood, not to mention the emotions of those soldiers who had been with their families for a short time, and even some had not returned home, Fu Quan didn't dare to imagine that if these soldiers went to the battlefield with this kind of emotion, would they let their army collapse.
In this way, it was possible to march to Chang'an in three days, but let Fuquan go for seven days, during which when passing through Huayin, Fuquan paused, and Zhang Meng and other generals went to Zhang Huan's tomb to worship.
In front of the simple tombstone, there are not too many decorations, only the one engraved with "Hanliangzhou Thorn History, the Tomb of Duliao General Zhang Gong", which is so conspicuous.
Like the other person of "Liangzhou Sanming", Zhang Huan had already instructed the future before the conquest of Xianbei, and if there was an accident in the will, the sons would get their corpses, and they would be buried in plain clothes, if this simple tombstone was not the name of Zhang Huan, I am afraid that in the Han Dynasty, which now implements thick burials, I am afraid that no one will believe that this is a tombstone of a famous general of the Han Dynasty.
After everyone worshipped, Fuquan met Zhang Zhi, the eldest son of Zhang Huan, who rushed to hear the news, and after greeting him, he meditated on the side of the tombstone. As for Zhang Huan's second son Zhang Chang, he didn't come, he was not in Huayin, because of his exploits in conquering Xianbei back then, but now he is in any county in Kanto, I think it can be regarded as the compensation of the Han Dynasty for Zhang Huan, a famous general!
Zhang Gong, I haven't seen you for a long time, this time, in addition to passing by to see you, it is the same as the first half of your life, and the first half of your life like Huangfu Gong and Duan Gong, to fight for the Liangzhou border affairs of the Han Dynasty!
Do you know that the Qiang people that you and Huangfu Gong suggested to pacify at the beginning are now reversed, and under the chaos of the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in Taiping Road, the Han Dynasty stabbed the Han again!
Is this the kind of stability you and the Emperor want? I think, this is not, if possible this time, I hope you can see it, I will continue to use what Duan Gong said to me back then, no matter how the Qiang people are, those who dare to resist will be killed, that is, Liangzhou will be dyed into a red land, and the blood will make the northwest smell fishy, and it will be like this!
Even if it's a year, two years...... Ten years, I also want to ensure that this Qiang chaos will not happen again, because in the future, your "Liangzhou Sanming" will defend the Han Dynasty to the death, and there will be chaos. And the Han Dynasty is in chaos, and Xizhou is in chaos, and the Western Regions lost by the Han Dynasty, and even the four counties of Hexi, as well as the entire Liangzhou, may be far away from the arms of the Han Dynasty.
I don't allow this to happen, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions that have been in the hands of the Han Dynasty will definitely return to us, and what I want is not like this, there are further places, no matter on the road or at sea...... Maybe you think it's ridiculous, but I don't think I'm familiar with history, believe me, the powerful people of the Han Dynasty who are now ready to move, if they have the attraction of the vast land outside the Han Dynasty, they will definitely break the mind of infighting...... They are hidden dangers and trump cards!
Goodbye, Gong Zhang! I hope that next time, there will be a chance to come to see you, although I have disagreed with your past decisions, but look at your life, what you have done for the Han people, it is true that it should not be because of the chaos of the late Han Dynasty, only the deeds of "Liangzhou Sanming" remained, if future generations know about this Hanqiang war, starting from the former Han Dynasty, they will definitely admire you and Huangfu Gong and Duan Gong, otherwise the Western Regions will be lost, Liangzhou is not guaranteed, and how can there be all kinds of glory of the Han people on the Silk Road?
After bidding farewell to Zhang Huan's tombstone, Fuquan declined Zhang Zhi's invitation to invite everyone to Zhang's mansion, and he would set up a banquet to entertain him, but instead led the army to continue to march, and finally, entered the Jingzhaoyin territory, which also indicates that Chang'an, the imperial capital of the former Han Dynasty, will not be far away.
Jing Zhaoyin, so the internal history of Qin, which is in charge of the internal history of Beijing. After the establishment of the former Han Dynasty, the first year of Emperor Gao belonged to the Sai State, and the second year was more Weinan County, and after nine years, it was restored to the internal history. Emperor Wu was divided into the right internal history in the sixth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, and the first year of Taichu changed the right internal history to Jing Zhaoyin, and divided the eastern half of the original right internal history into its jurisdiction, because the land belonged to Qifu, so it was not called a county. Its position is equivalent to that of a county Taishou, but it can participate in court discussions and govern in Chang'an.
When it comes to Jingzhao Yin, we have to mention the "Five Days Jingzhao", the allusion originates from the Jingzhao Yin Zhang Chang during the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.
In the former Han Dynasty, there was a saying in Chang'an: "There are Zhao and Zhang in the front, and there are three kings in the back", which is about five famous Jing Zhaoyin, among which Zhang refers to Zhang Chang, whose character is high, is a native of Maoling in the former Han Dynasty.
In the fourth year of Emperor Wufeng, after Yang Yun, the Marquis of Pingtong, was beheaded, some officials believed that Zhang Chang was Yang Yun's comrade, and he had a close relationship, so he was no longer suitable to serve as Jingzhao Yin. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty cherished Zhang Chang's talent at that time and detained the book.
Although the book was not issued, the matter of the ministers' participation in Zhang Chang still spread in the capital, and the location of Jingzhao was such an environment, and there were many things that were spread all over the city before a decision was made, which was very unfavorable to Zhang Chang.
At this time, Zhang Chang arranged a subordinate in charge of catching thieves to handle a case. This thief catches the rafters with the surname Shun, the surname is very rare, and the name is hooked with the ancient sages. Su Shun also learned that Zhang Chang had been played, and believed that he would definitely be dismissed and investigated, so he put the pick on his shoulder and went home to rest. A friend persuaded Su Shun that Zhang Jingzhao treats you well on weekdays, isn't it a fall for you to do this?
Su Shun couldn't listen to him, he first said, I have done a lot of things for Zhang Chang before, and I am dedicated enough. It's a bit like the tone of an employee when they change jobs. Then he confidently predicted that now he could not protect himself, and at most he would be a Jingzhao for five days, where could he still take care of my business.
After Zhang Chang heard the news, he immediately sent someone to arrest Su Shun back, and the crime was to leave his post without permission.
By this time it was approaching the end of the year, winter was coming to an end, and spring was coming. It was customary to do a good deed at the beginning of the year when the new year was coming, and the emperor, as the head of a country, would send envoys to the people and the prisons around the capital to investigate grievances and give amnesty to a group of prisoners. If the case cannot be closed before the arrival of the New Year, Su Shun will undoubtedly be pardoned.
According to Zhang Chang's instructions, the personnel concerned worked overtime to make a surprise attack on the case, and they wanted to get Su Shun done before the arrival of the new year. Seven investigations and eight questions finally grasped the handle and condemned Su Shun to a capital crime, and decided to carry out the abandonment of the market.
Before the execution, Zhang Chang asked people to send a message to Su Shun, didn't you say that Jingzhao couldn't do anything on the fifth day, winter has come to an end, can you still live?
A few days later, the emperor sent an envoy down to the grassroots to inquire about grievances. Su Shun's family dragged the body in a car, wrote Zhang Chang's words on bamboo slips and hung them in front of the car, shouting a complaint of injustice. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty believed that Zhang Chang's move was also an improper sentence and could be dealt with leniently. Zhang Chang was removed from all positions and returned to the initialization stage and became an ordinary citizen.
Zhang Chang was idle at home, but the new Jing Zhaoyin's work was very ineffective, and there were frequent cases of fights, group fights, thefts and robberies, and chaos in Chang'an City. Emperor Xuan of Han rethought Zhang Chang.
When the people from the palace arrived at Zhang Chang's door, his wife and children hugged each other and wept bitterly, thinking that disaster was coming. Zhang Chang laughed, he said, I am just a poor people, if you want to punish the crime, the pawns who came to the two county offices can be tied up and escorted away, so as not to overwhelm the people around the emperor. Hurry up and pack your things, and I'll be put to good use.
Fortunately, Emperor Xuan later asked the reason for the matter, thinking that it was not a big deal, and wanted Zhang Chang to try to escape. So he first announced the previous statement that he had a relationship with Yang Yun and was no longer suitable for his position, and demoted him to the people. After receiving such a punishment, Zhang Chang also understood Emperor Xuan's intentions, so he returned the seal ribbon, knowing that he would continue to return as an official later
The term "Five Days Jingzhao", in this way, has been slowly passed down, and it generally refers to the fact that the official will not last long.
Of course, there is another widely circulated story about Zhang Chang, that is, he painted his wife's eyebrows with his own hands. This was originally a private matter of his own family, not only did it get out, but many people in Chang'an City commented with relish: Zhang Jingzhao's eyebrows were very charming, and they were called eyebrows at that time, which shows that Zhang Chang is also a boudoir person.
The official in charge of supervision thought that the matter of drawing eyebrows was contrary to the code of ethics of the imperial court officials, so he participated in a book. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty personally inquired about the matter, and Zhang Chang replied, I heard that the matter between husband and wife in the private room is much more than just drawing an eyebrow.
In this regard, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty's experience was much deeper than Zhang Chang's, so he laughed it off, and Zhang Chang's thrush was often used by later generations to express the joy of family life between husband and wife with "thrush happiness".
