Chapter 441: Northland County
After persuading Zhang Huan to be exempted, Fuquan led the army all the way to the north, passing through Zuo Fengyi, because Zuo Fengyi has belonged to the Guanzhong Plain, located in the north of the Wei River, east of the Jing River, and the middle and lower reaches of the Luo River, the land is flat and open, suitable for cavalry galloping, so the army has no unfavorable road in front of the Kuihan Ancient Road, and the horse is whipped quickly, and goes straight to the destination of Liangzhou Beidi County.
Although Beidi County is under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou, but now it is a sojourn Zuo Fengyi, according to Beijing only 1,100 li, the distance is only half of Hanyang, the army galloped, it took less than ten days, and finally arrived at the destination of Fuping County, Beidi County.
On the first day of the eighth month, the army came all the way to dusty faces, and in the distance, the slightly dilapidated city of Fuping County came into view. It is probably because Beidi County has been affected by the Qiang Rebellion since the founding of the country and has been in the midst of war for a long time, so the city has been repaired over the years and built with a very strong defense.
I saw that the city was extremely high, built with layers of rammed earth, and the four corners were built with corner piers, which were more than twice as high as the city wall, and there were countless people wearing the standard armor of the Han army, holding all kinds of weapons on guard, with bows and crossbows as many, and I believed that once there was a change outside the city, the defenders in the city would be able to detect it. At this time, the city was full of people standing and watching, after all, the Han army came with a group of 8,000 horses, and no one paid attention to it, and the front was full of people in official uniforms.
Writing brush! Writing brush! Writing brush......
The iron cavalry of the Han army followed the commander's signal, and stopped at the sound of the horse, and then an old man with crane hair came to stop in front of the officials, and shouted directly: "Yizhen, Tianqing, don't come to harm?" ”
Of course, this person is Duan Cheng, and the two people who were replaced by him as Yizhen and Tianqing are naturally the current Han Dynasty's Beidi County Shouhuang Fu Song and Qiang Captain Tian Yan. The two had been waiting for the Han army for many days, and after receiving the scout's summons, they hurriedly led people out of the city to greet them, and the surrounding people also heard the news and came to watch.
"I've seen Duan Shibo!"
"I've seen the general!"
Huangfu Song and Tian Yan hurriedly saluted, and even stepped forward to support the somewhat old Duan Cheng and help him dismount, extremely respectful, if others don't know the identities of the two, I'm afraid they can't guess that among these two people, one is the county guard of Beidi County with a rank of 2,000 stones, and the other is the captain of the Qiang Protector with a rank of 2,000 stones.
"No problem! No problem! The servant has been on the horse for half his life, and he will not be able to get off the horse. Seeing the two of them like this, Duan Cheng couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and then first looked at Huangfu Song and said: "Yizhen, I haven't seen you for many years, I have been the guard of the northern county, the northern frontier of the pastoral border, Brother Weiming knows it, I will be pleased!" ”
"The uncle has a good reputation, and the little nephew has been taught by the strict family and his uncle since he was a child, and now he has the ability to guard the border and teach the people." Huangfu Song said modestly and respectfully, as for the "Brother Weiming" mentioned in Duan Cheng's mouth, he is naturally Huangfu Song's uncle, one of the "Liangzhou Sanming" Huangfu Gui, he has always been more scheming, and he will not offend people when he interacts with people, even if Duan Cheng joins the eunuchs, the two are not like Duan Cheng and Zhang Huan, who once had a tendency to be the same.
Huangfu Gui, the word Weiming, the person of Anding County Dynasty, the official to the general of Du Liao, when Yan Xi was nine years, Huang Fu Gui was appointed as the general of Du Liao, but at that time, he was scheming, but he thought that he was in a big position, and wanted to retire in a hurry, no longer a eunuch, and wrote many times to the sick, but the court did not allow it.
At that time, Huang Fu Gui's friend Shangjun Taishou Wang Min died, so he took advantage of Wang Min's coffin to return to his hometown, crossed the border in plain clothes, and went to the lower pavilion to greet the funeral, and at the same time sent guests to secretly tell the matter to Hu Fang, the assassin of the state, and reported that he was away from the military camp without authorization, and blatantly violated the prohibition of the imperial court and county guards not to leave the territory under their jurisdiction without authorization.
It's just that this time, Huangfu Gui still didn't succeed, and at that time, Hu Fang saw through at a glance that this was Huangfu Gui's ploy to defile himself and be reported, and said: "Wei Ming wants to avoid Di Shi Tu, so it stimulates my ears." I should love talents for the court, how can I declare this son to be evil! After that, Hu Fang ignored the emperor's rules and did not report it.
It is precisely because Huangfu Gui is so scheming that he can maintain a good relationship with Duan Cheng, who is a eunuch, on the premise of protecting his reputation from being damaged, otherwise Huangfu Song will not pull down his face to greet Duan Cheng no matter what, after all, this matter is rumored, at least this matter is spread, even if Duan Cheng has now changed from joining the official eunuch to joining his relatives, but it will definitely have a lot of impact on his reputation among scholars.
Of course, no matter how the emperor's rules are, now he died eight years ago, and I have to say that this is the regret of the Han army, which directly leads to the absence of a famous general after the Han. It can be said that if you talk about the famous generals of the Han Dynasty at the end of the Han Dynasty, you must be the first to recommend "Liangzhou Sanming", even if Fuquan is rising now, he does not dare to call himself in vain. It's just that with the death of Huangfu Gui, Zhang Huan was imprisoned by the party, Duan Cheng joined the eunuchs, his reputation has long been very bad, and he has no military merits, but he has no reputation for being a scholar.
After talking to Huangfu Song, Duan Cheng then looked at Tian Yan and said with emotion: "After a long time, Tianqing went out with his servants in the past, but I didn't think that today I have been appointed as the captain of the Qiang Guard, and the servants are very relieved!" ”
After hearing this, Tian Yan hurriedly smiled and said: "The last general has destroyed countless Qiang with the general, since he has inherited the general's ambition, he has guarded the land on the side, and he has not entered Luoyang to meet the general for many years, and I hope the general will understand." Tian Yan had accompanied Duan Cheng to crusade against Xiqiang countless times, and he was Duan Cheng's henchman at that time, and when he met the deceased at this moment, he was naturally extremely excited and frightened, for fear that he would lose face in front of the deceased, of course, in order to show his intimacy, he did not call Duan Cheng a lieutenant like others, but called a general.
"It doesn't matter! Anyway! Tianqing has the responsibility to guard the land, how can the servants blame it! Duan Cheng said with a smile, and then the sound of horses' hooves behind him gradually came, Duan Cheng turned around, saw Fu Quan and the others, and hurriedly turned to Huangfu Song and Tian Yan and said: "The servant is not the commander of the army this time, and the two of you have been rude to see the servant first, and now the boss has arrived, quickly meet Fuba County with the servant." ”
"No!" The two of them replied in unison, and then looked at the young man riding a horse not far away.
Emperor Wu of Hanyang County was placed as Tianshui, and was renamed in the seventeenth year of Yongyuan. Two thousand miles west of Luoyang.
Qinzhi, Northland County. 1,100 miles west of Luoyang.
Excerpt from "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Chronicles of the Counties"
The emperor's rules are Weiming, and the person who is stable is also. Grandfather Leng, General Duliao. Father Banner, Fufeng Captain...... The rules are more calculating, and they think they are connected to the big position, and they want to retreat and avoid the first, and they are sick and do not hear. The friends of the county guarded Wang Min and returned to the funeral, and the rules crossed the line and went to the lower pavilion to welcome him. Because of the secret accusation of the guest and the state assassin Shi Hu Fang, the words and rules are far away from the military camp, and the public violates the forbidden constitution, so it should be played in a hurry. Fang said: "Wei Ming wants to avoid Di Shi Tu, so he stimulates my ears." I should love talents for the court, how can I declare this son to be evil! So he didn't ask. Excerpt from the Book of the Later Han Dynasty
The people of the wilderness are the most important, and they are very gratified. Excerpt from Jin Wang Xizhi's "Miscellaneous Post III"
