Chapter 493: Go south to Sizhou

p

At the end of May 396, after a war of words, Hexi and Nanyan finally reached a compromise.

Under coercion and temptation, Murong De, the king of Yan, was forced to exchange the land of the two counties for his nephew Murong Chao.

At the beginning of June, Wang Zhongde, the governor of Bingzhou, and Zhang Teng, the assassin of the prefecture, jointly wrote to Dadu Hu, requesting that troops be sent to take over Hanoi and Ji County.

Subsequently, Dadu guarded Shuo Xingwen and the Prefecture Governor's Mansion, and ordered the Governor Wang Zhongde to send troops south.

Wang Zhongde immediately sent Xue Wei and Kuang En to lead two iron horsemen south to inspect Hanoi and Ji County.

Xue Wei and Kuai En did not dare to slack off, and led their troops through Bai Cheng and Taihang respectively to the south and stationed in Ji County and Hanoi.

The Hexi army went south to Taihang, and in addition to pacifying more than 100,000 people in the two counties, it was also responsible for attacking the Hulu tribe in the territory.

At the same time, Wang Zhongde sent a message to various parts of Hanoi and Ji County in the name of the governor of the prefecture, asking all the powerful families and Hu Luqu to surrender to Hexi.

As soon as this order was issued, the territory of Hanoi and Ki County was in chaos.

In addition to the shock, the Hulu Qushuai and the powerful families in the territory fled to the north or south one after another, and switched to the Yan and Jin countries respectively.

Xue Wei and Kuang En took Hanoi and Ji County almost bloodlessly, and did not encounter a little trouble until they advanced to Fangtou.

At that time, Kuai En led 6,000 iron horsemen into Ji County through Baicheng, from north to south, Xian Kelin, Chaoge and other cities, along the way to break through thousands of Hu Lu households, and kill hundreds of Hu Lu leaders who were full of blood debts.

On the tenth day of the first month of June, the local Haoqiang family and Hu Luqu Marshal in Ji County suddenly gathered heavy troops to start an incident because they were dissatisfied with the Hexi policy.

He led his army to confront the rebels and killed more than a dozen rebel generals in front of the two armies, frightening the rebels.

Taking advantage of the low morale of the rebels, Kuang took advantage of the situation to lead a thousand elite cavalry to charge into battle, killing the rebels all over the ground.

After quelling the rebellion, Kuang En advanced towards Fangtou without stopping.

Fangtou, in today's Jun County, has been a military center since the end of the Han Dynasty.

In the ninth year of Jian'an, Wei Wu Cao Cao "built a large fang wood at the mouth of the Qi River to form a weir, and curbed the Qi water from entering the Baigou in the east to transport it," and "borrowed water to transport soldiers, horses, grain and grass to cut down Wuhuan." ”

During the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, Pu Hong, the leader of the Di people and the general of Long Xiang, led the group of displaced people with the Luoyang Di people as the core to be stationed in Fangtou in Tun as the governor of the exiles.

Later, the Di people took Fangtou as the base camp and operated the Quartet, and even later Pu Hong was also the king of Fangtou and built a palace.

Although less than a year later, the Di people moved to Guanzhong, but Fangtou has since become a military town.

And Fangtou is only more than 40 miles away from the slide, which is an important barrier to the west of the slide.

Although Murong De promised to cede Hanoi and Ji County to Hexi, he left Fang Tou alone to ensure the safety of the slipway.

And the current Fangtou guard is Murong Chao, who has just returned to Nanyan.

sent Murong Chao to Fangtou, firstly, because Fangtou is important; Second, Fangtou is located in the rear and is relatively safe.

Half a month ago, when he heard that his nephew had returned safely, Murong De was overjoyed and sent three hundred iron horsemen to meet him.

At that time, Murong Chao was very excited, and on the way, he rushed to the slide without stopping, and finally met his uncle Murong De.

He immediately presented the golden knife and told his uncle Murong De his grandmother's last words.

After Murong De heard this, he thought that his mother had been displaced and had suffered a lot, and he had not seen him when he was dying.

I also thought of my amiable and respectable brother and my heart-like son, who were brutally killed in order to restore the ancestral inheritance.

I can't help but feel sad and sad.

The uncle and nephew hugged their heads and cried, telling endless stories of parting.

In the end, after all kinds of persuasion by the ministers, the two stopped crying.

Because Murong Chao is majestic and looks very much like Murong De, he feels very cordial, and he can't get enough of pulling his nephew.

After recounting the pain of parting with his nephew, Murong De couldn't wait to crown Murong Chao as the king of Beihai, worship the hussar general, and lead the lieutenant.

At the same time, Murong De also allocated thousands of soldiers and horses to his nephew, so that Murong Chao could garrison the important town of Fangtou.

Since then, after tasting the hardships of the world, to suddenly becoming noble, Murong Chao was full of ambition for a while, and his mentality inevitably swelled.

Just as Murong Chao was enjoying the glory and wealth, he received the news that the Hexi Army was stationed in Hanoi and Jijun on a large scale.

He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable at the thought that it was because of himself that he finally forced his uncle to cede the land of the two counties.

At that moment, he rolled his eyes, found his subordinate Gongsun on the fifth floor, and gave a few words in his ear.

……

"General, it's really hot today!" The reporter joined the army and touched a handful of hot sweat, and sighed to the next to him.

Kuang En smiled, looked up and squinted at the sun overhead, it was really hot today, and the sun seemed to be able to melt people.

He put his hand on his forehead and looked into the distance as best he could, sweat flowing down like water.

Seeing that Kuang En was always staring into the distance, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "My lord, what's wrong?" Is there a situation? ”

"The scout has been out for a long time, but he hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid he's in trouble." Cnn worried.

The secretary also tried to look ahead, but he didn't even see a figure.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "This ...... Hu Lu and Haoqiang have been exterminated, no one should dare to provoke us, right? ”

"Who knows! There is no shortage of daring people in this world, or someone who has a head pump. ”

"The general refers to Murong Chao?"

"That's right! As soon as this guy returned to Nanyan, he was entrusted with an important task by Murong De, and now he is stationed in Fangtou Town, and we have to beware of the other party's retaliation. ”

"Does he dare? Will Murong De agree? The record of joining the army was full of disbelief.

"Hey, hey! Now that Murong De is angry, he is afraid that he can't wait for his nephew to vent his anger for him. ”

"As long as the trouble is not too excessive, even if the incident happens, what can most of the protectors do?"

Speaking of this, Kuang turned his head to the secretary and ordered, "Send a team of cavalry over to take a look." ”

"No!"

After a shout, the fifty horsemen rode out of the group, and then saw smoke and dust billowing south.

Ji County and Hanoi are not considered to be the hinterland of the Central Plains, but because Hu Lu has been in the Central Plains for nearly 100 years, the territory is almost everywhere Hu Lu.

Of course, this is no better than the Saiwai Hetao grassland, where the Hulu has almost been completely sinicized.

Like the clans, they also built forts and private armies in the local area, and like the powerful families, they were the cancer that hindered the unification of Hexi.

As the forward of Hexi, Kuang En shoulders the important task of making a name for himself in Hexi and sorting out the separatist forces.

Now Jijun Haoqiang and Hu Luqu Shuai have been almost cleaned up by him, and only the purpose of Liwei has not been achieved.

Originally, he wanted to find a few Hu Luqu Shuai sacrifice flags, but now Murong Chao took the initiative to send them, which saved him a lot of thought.

Not long after the cavalry had departed, they saw a man in their arms, rolling back from the south.

Taken aback, Cunn hurried to meet him.

I saw that the group of cavalrymen who had just gone out rode up to him, and their faces were full of indignation.

There was a wounded man around them, and they saw that the opponent's black armor was covered with blood, and several arrows had been inserted deep into his body.

"What's going on?" The reporter joined the army and grabbed the angry Kuang En and asked in front.

"Back in the army, we found this wounded brother twenty miles ahead, but we didn't see anyone else."

"Do you know who the enemy is? Where are you now? How many people are there? The clerk asked the wounded softly.

It's a pity that the scout's injuries were too serious, and he didn't spit out a word for a long time, and finally he could only stretch out a hand tremblingly.

As soon as he joined the army, he grasped the bloody palm and said tentatively: "Five hundred enemy horsemen? Is it Yan Jun? ”

The scout nodded effortlessly, indicating that everything he said was right.

"The son of a bitch raises Murong De, what a fucking dare to do it!"

Kuang En cursed viciously, stared at the scout's eyes, and said word by word, "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you." ”

The muscles on the scout's face twitched a few times, probably trying to laugh, but unexpectedly triggered the wound, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Then his breath became lighter and lighter, and finally he stared at the sky with wide eyes and remained motionless.

"Brother, go all the way! May you enjoy the great mercy of the Heavenly Venerable in the heavenly realm. ”

Kuang En took off his helmet, took out a Tai Chi fish pendant symbolizing the Tao of the New Heavenly Master from his arms, and prayed with the other soldiers of the Hexi Army.

After the prayer, everyone's faces were full of murderous intent, and no one could go unpunished after hurting the Hexi army.

Even if it is chased to the ends of the earth, the soldiers of the Hexi Army will punish the murderer.

"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth."

"Kill!"
