Three days later, the army was rested, and the various departments of Fuquan were also recalled one by one, and at the same time, under the doubts of many people, Wang Qiaowang Weidong of Yunzhong was recruited into the military camp as his assistant.

After that, Fu Quan and Zhang Chang led the Han army soldiers who could enter Beijing, drove the Xianbei male and female prisoners, and went to Beijing to offer prisoners.

As for the captured livestock, except for the symbolic selection of horses, cattle and sheep, they were all handed over to Zhao Bao, the assassin of Bingzhou, in accordance with Liu Hong's order, to be managed, or sold into the people, or for armaments, for the benefit of the country, after all, if all these livestock were to be transported to Jingshi, it is estimated that the forage to be prepared along the way will be surprising.

Nearly 7,000 Han soldiers entered Beijing, including more than 5,000 of Fuquan's original subordinates, that is, more than 1,000 Xiliang soldiers of Zhang Chang, who were all Han soldiers who had made a lot of contributions in this war and could enter Beijing to offer prisoners and awards.

The rest of the Han army had their own reasons, either they were repatriated to the county of Benzhou after receiving the reward they deserved, or because of physical disability, after receiving sufficient rewards, they disarmed and returned to their hometowns to retire. As for Zhang Chang's father, Zhang Huan, he couldn't travel far because of physical reasons, but the date of the prisoner sacrifice ordered by Emperor Liu Hong was very urgent, so he could only ask Zhang Chang to enter Beijing on his behalf to send prisoners, leaving his youngest son Zhang Meng to serve by his side.

Because of the urgency of time, the army did not stop to rest along the road, fortunately, this time out of the fortress seized a lot of horses, and most of them were good horses, so the Han army soldiers were all riding strong horses, and the craftsmen in Yunzhong City made a lot of carriages, carrying carts and carts of Xianbei women, as well as some captured Xianbei nobles, to Luoyang.

Sometimes, Fu Quan looked at his own Han army, and couldn't help but think of the poem "Hanging people's heads in front of the horse, carrying women in the back of the car", of course, there is no head now, and fortunately this is the scene of his own defeat, not the troubled times later. Thinking of the countless disasters that the Han people will face in the future, his heart is also happy, at least, in his own life, the threat of the future Han people has been greatly weakened.

A group of people, the huge scale from Yunzhong County directly into the division, along the road often Han people see their captured Xianbei women, know the news is good, all for the Han to dominate the outside of the Saiwai and a look of excitement, and do not know the news, can only be divided on both sides of the road, pointing at this line.

The army went out of Yunzhong, all the way from Yunzhong to the south, passing through Xihe County, and then arrived at Puzi County in Sili.

Puzi County, its name also has allusions, according to legend, the leader of the tribal alliance in ancient times, the son of Emperor Yu, and the mother is one of the "Five Emperors" of Chen Feng's Yi Fangxun, known as King Yao.

King Yao felt that he was old and lacked energy, and wanted to find a sage and philosopher to take a Zen position. King Yao visited for a long time and heard that there was a hermit named Pu Yizi in Shimen Mountain, so he decided to visit him in person. King Yao came to the foot of Shimen Mountain, met a villager at the bend of the river, and asked Ming Pu Yizi's address. King Yao followed the direction of the villager's guidance and came to a ditch, where he met a woodcutter carrying a firewood burden, and this woodcutter was none other than Pu Yizi. King Yao was very happy, and he was busy saluting, and the two sat on a big bluestone at the mouth of the ditch and talked. King Yao originally wanted to Zen in Pu Yizi, but he didn't want Pu Yizi to be older than him, so he immediately changed his mind and humbly asked Pu Yizi for advice on how to govern the country and strengthen the people. Pu Yizi used the past as a metaphor for the present, expounded the way of governing the country, and talked eloquently. King Yao listened attentively, benefited a lot, and hated to see each other late, and immediately worshiped Pu Yizi as a teacher. Later, the stone where Pu Yizi and King Yao sat was named "Jindaotai", and this ditch was also named "Ruyi Ditch".

At parting, King Yao told Pu Yizi the true meaning of this visit, and asked Pu Yizi to recommend a sage who could take over the throne. Pu Yizi recommended Shun. Since then, the place where Pu Yizi lived was named Pui Village, and the area around Shimen Mountain was collectively referred to as Puzi Mountain, and Puzi County was also named after it.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was Jin Puyi, and later the heavy ear Benpu, which was here, and later Han placed this place as Puzi County. Looking at the long county town in front of him, Fu Quan knew that later in the Wuhu period, Liu Yuan initially set the capital away from Shizuo Guocheng after raising troops, and then moved the capital to Liting, and then finally moved the capital to Puzi County.

Thinking of this, Fu Quan couldn't help but clench his fists, turned to look at the Bingzhou he had just left, and seemed to see through the air, seeing the Huns who had become Han vassals in Bingzhou. In the battle to destroy Xianbei, although Fuquan had not seen the combat strength of the Huns, the strength of the other party was slowly becoming stronger.

If the Han has not been chaotic, it will be fine, and I believe that in a few hundred years, they will eventually be completely assimilated like later generations. However, in a few years, a great chaos intertwined with various conspiracies will overturn and sweep the entire thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty will also completely fall into internal friction, which will eventually weaken the national strength of the Han Dynasty and completely collapse the Han system.

It's just that even if he knows, Fuquan can't change anything, because this chaos, some people don't know, some people know and connive, and some people are willing to help it become a mess, and if they want to change, there is no way.

In November, the heavy snow in Henan stopped, and the rare few days of good weather happened to be encountered by the Han army of Fuquan.

Seeing that a few days were coming, everyone slowed down a little, and after passing Puzi County, they no longer traveled day and night, and for a while, laughter continued.

At night, in the Han military camp, the smell of barbecue game spreads, and the entire Han camp is noisy. When others saw it, if they didn't know that this was the Han soldiers under the command of Zhang Liangzhou and Fuba County, who had just returned victoriously from the fortress, they would have thought that they were taking a Han army with corrupt military discipline.

Beside the bonfires lit everywhere, the mutton that was set up was rolled back and forth by the Han soldiers on the bonfire, and the Han army captured a lot of Xianbei cattle and sheep, and basically there would be a big barbecue banquet every few days on the march. On the one hand, it is to replenish the physical strength of the journey, and on the other hand, it is to supplement nutrition, after all, if you want to go to Beijing to see the emperor to sacrifice prisoners, the soldiers do not eat and drink well, and have a good mental outlook, so how to meet the emperor?

Beside a bonfire somewhere in the Han military camp, Ma Teng stared blankly at the southeast, where the capital was in Luoyang, and where he was about to become famous. It's just that this is only the first step in his fame, if you want to enter the inner circle of the Youfufeng Maoling Ma clan like he started in the army, there is undoubtedly a long way to go.

In the distance, Fu Quan accompanied Ma Teng to walk slowly, and when he saw Ma Teng, he asked with a smile: "Why does Shou Cheng look like this?" ”

When Ma Teng heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Vobajun." As for Wang Qiao beside Fuquan, Ma Teng just nodded and did not salute, after all, Ma Teng was also a middle-level officer of the Han Army, and Wang Weidong was just a newly accepted scribe in Fuquan, and he was not worthy of his salute at all.

Fu Quan nodded with a smile, although he valued Ma Teng very much, but in this era when his background determines everything, even if Ma Teng is also from a big family, but after all, one of his branches has declined, if Fu Quan behaves too deliberately, it will make Ma Teng feel inappropriate. As for Wang Qiao beside Fu Quan, he returned the salute to Ma Teng, and did not feel inappropriate about Ma Teng's rude behavior, after all, the other party's identity and military exploits are not comparable to Wang Qiao's behavior of pimping.

"Shou Cheng is thinking about helping the wind Ma clan?" After seeing Ma Teng's salute, he didn't say anything, Fu Quan took the initiative to ask, among the potential stocks that Xiliang Jun knew during this time, Fu Quan was only sure that he could take Ma Teng for the time being, as for the other Zhang Xiu Hu Feng and others, it was both abrupt and difficult to start for the time being, after all, there was no friendship, on the contrary, only Ma Teng and the two had known each other for a long time, and they also had the experience of fighting together, so they were the most likely to start.

Ma Teng listened, nodded, and did not speak, indicating acquiescence.

"When I came to Lone Zhangba County, Shou Cheng exchanged letters with Lonely, but unfortunately I never had a chance to see each other, I didn't think that this time in the war, Shou Cheng led the army to rescue, I think it was also fate, thank you Shou Cheng."

"Rescuing Voba County is a matter of Teng's business, and Voba County doesn't need to be like this!" Ma Teng heard Fu Quan's words of thanks, and hurriedly replied, Fu Quan didn't know what to do, he didn't dare to answer easily.

"When it is! When it is! Fu Quan waved his hand, and then continued: "It is said that Lone and Ma Dafu have an old relationship, and Shoucheng is the same clan as Ma Dafu. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ma Teng's mind was shocked, and then the expression on his face changed rapidly, first his face was happy, and then he suddenly cooled down and looked at Fu Quan a few times, as if he wanted to see something from the other party's face, but he didn't find anything wrong, he didn't understand why Fu Quan wanted to help him so much, he had been in the northwest since he was a child, but he didn't believe that there would really be nobles who would help him so much.

After making some choices, Ma Teng finally asked rhetorically: "Why is Voba County so helpful?" ”

"Since one is to repay the kindness, the other is not willing to bury the good generals, since the correspondence with Shoucheng, the lonely will know that Shoucheng will be extraordinary one day!" Fu Quan replied lightly, he believed that after he said these words, Ma Teng must have understood what he was thinking.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Ma Teng's eyes lit up, and he didn't hesitate too much, and his voice was directly excited

Said: "Thank you to Fuba County, this kindness, Teng will repay you with death!" ”

No wonder Ma Teng is so excited, after all, their Ma clan has been down for too long, thinking that he and Ma Ju's father only became county lieutenants in their lives, so that the family was poor and had no wife after losing his official position, so he had to marry a Qiang girl, and even Ma Teng had to chop wood to support his younger brother Ma Ju and his relatives when he was young, and now Fuquan wants to introduce Ma Dafu to him, can he not be excited?

As for who Ma Dafu is, Ma Teng knows that it is the current head of the Fufeng Ma Valve, Guanglu Doctor Ma Riyan, he is the grandson of Ma Rong, the former master of the Ma Valve, and is also the most knowledgeable person among the current Ma family's descendants, and it is said that he has inherited Ma Rong's doctrine when he was young. Now that Fuquan wants to introduce Ma Riyan to himself, Ma Teng is of course excited, because as long as he, a member of the Ma clan who has had good achievements in the war, appears in front of the other party, and then Fuquan intercedes for him, he will not worry about the Ma clan, who is lacking in generals now, will not accept himself, why is he sad just now, isn't it because he has no way to contact the Ma clan?

After all, in this war, even if Ma Teng receives merit, he can only be a thousand-stone Sima at most, and he may even only change from a fake military marquis to a regular military marquis, this position is obviously weaker for Ma's family, and he can't get into the eyes of the other party. On the contrary, if there is Fuquan's rhetoric in this, and Ma Shi of Ling faces himself squarely, then his future is very promising.

After the conversation, the mutton had been roasted, and a few people took the mutton together with other Han soldiers, and ate and drank the wine brought from Puzi County.

Between meals, Wang Qiao looked at Fuquan and Ma Teng talking, thinking in his heart, Fu is a Langya Wang clan, a generation of high-ranking officials, relatives of the emperor and the country, watching what the other party did to Ma Teng, he paid correctly this time, and took the line of Fuquan, his family wants to surpass the Taiyuan Wang family will be just around the corner.
