These are nothing, oppressing the people is not capable, anyone who wants to be an official, whether you are filial piety or incumbent, must donate money to live in the imperial court to repair the palace and build the palace.

Julu was too protective of Sima Zhi's new appointment, asking for his life for the people, but he was warned by the court, and said abruptly: "I can't bear to cut off the people for the people's parents and ask for the time." Saying that he was sick and did not go to office, the court repeatedly urged him to take office, hurry up and go to the common people, go to Mengjin, leave a suicide note to criticize the policy of selling official beards, and then commit suicide by taking medicine.

Liu Hong felt that he had suspended the collection of money, but it did not last long, and the selling of officials became even more rampant.

Hebei Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan once again got into trouble, plundering counties and counties, beheading corrupt officials, exterminating local tyrants, and the followers were like clouds, and the common people dragged their families to join, and the momentum was huge.

Li Yuan thought of the wars that occurred in various places in February, and he unconsciously thought of a way out.

And a few days ago, Han Sui, Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu and others were not willing to be lonely, leading an army of 80,000, under the banner of killing eunuchs, invading Sanfu, and rushing to the Imperial Mausoleum in Chang'an.

The three auxiliaries are Jing Zhaoyin, the right Fufeng, and the left Feng Yi, which is an important guarantee to protect the capital, and it can also be said to be the gateway to Liangzhou, as long as Liangzhou captures the three auxiliaries, Luoyang will be in danger.

Liu Hong had to send elite soldiers and strong generals to go and appoint Huangfu Song as the general of the left chariot cavalry as the commander to break the enemy. And Dong Zhuo came back to worship Zhonglang and help break the enemy.

Li Yuan knew that there would be a famine this year, and Liangzhou was so chaotic that the common people naturally could not farm, and only a few places could produce grain.

When I heard that Han Sui and others rebelled again, I was still excited in my heart, how could I build meritorious deeds and climb up in this way.

"My lord, Liu Tingshi is here, please." A small official came to invite.

Dian Wei and He Man stood behind, and went to the Assassin Shizhi Office with the little officials.

He can't guarantee that an accident will happen in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is a lot more reassuring to have these two bodyguards with him.

Yang Yong and Gai Xun were talking in the hall, and when they saw Li Yuan coming, they watched the discussion.

"Liude, the imperial court has ordered you to lead your troops and horses to Chang'an and obey the dispatch of General Huangfu." Yang Yong handed over the transfer order to him.

Li Yuan took it from the hands of the little official, hurriedly glanced at it, and then got up and said: "The last general will not think about reporting the country's kindness every day, and the imperial court has already ordered, I should never give up, and immediately lead the people of the headquarters to help the old general Huangfu." ”

Yang Yong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Liude's words are exactly what I want." ”

Gai Xun is also very satisfied with Li Yuan, through this period of contact, I found that he is modest and polite, open-minded, and loyal to the imperial court, and can't help but feel a little loving, and said: "Liude, when you arrive in Chang'an, you have to experience more of the way the old general Huangfu uses troops." ”

Li Yuan retreated, left the mansion, took a few breaths of joy, and immediately returned to the temporary residence, summoning You Cao, He Yi, and Huang Shao.

After everyone sat down, Li Yuancai said: "Liangzhou traitor Han Sui and others led tens of thousands of troops to enter Kou Sanfu, and the imperial court ordered me to lead the troops. ”

Huang Shao's eyes lit up, and he pleaded: "My lord, Huang Shao is willing to go." ”

He Yi also asked for his life, and said, "He Yi is also willing to go with the adults to kill the enemy." ”

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Well, this time you will stay in the grass to take care of the soldiers' families, and the rest of the people will make meritorious contributions to killing the enemy with me." ”

You Cao was a little unwilling, but he also knew a few brushes he had, but when he thought about it, the uncle handed over the rear to himself, which was a great trust, and he was happy in his heart.

At the end of the next day, Li Yuan carried the banner of the Han family and the banner of Sima Li of the other department, and led his 2,000 soldiers to quell the rebellion.

He marched along the Weishui, the road in the mountains was tortuous, and the speed of his march could not be raised, but fortunately the two sides of the river were relatively flat, otherwise the distance of five or six hundred miles would not have been a month.

He is not in a hurry, it is enough to walk thirty miles a day, otherwise even the soldiers will be exhausted in the event of an emergency, how can he meet the enemy.

The soldiers and horses under his command are barely eye-catching, although there are not a few pieces of armor and a few horses, but the weapons are relatively sophisticated.

He didn't want Gai Xun and the others to ask for this or that, seeing that they had been tossed enough by the court and the rebels in the past few years, there were no extra materials to support him, and the grain and grass were all squeezed out raw.

Twenty days later, they arrived at Chencang. Because Huangfu Song failed to defeat Han Sui and others, Han Sui and others snobbed sharply, and the soldiers and horses had exceeded 100,000, so they could only watch them loot, so the rebels could be seen everywhere.

Now the four gates of Chencang are closed, and there is a Qiang rebel army of hundreds of people wandering under the city, making a few laughs from time to time, but the soldiers in the city dare not fight.

The Qiang people belong to a nomadic people, needless to say fighting, a people who survive by hunting are skilled in bows and horses.

The Qiang people are divided into two parts, the Western Qiang and the Eastern Qiang. Xiqiang is located in the border area, Jincheng, Longxi and other border counties. The Eastern Qiang is the Qiang people who moved to the interior of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they are located in the inner counties such as Anding, Beidi, and Shangjun.

The number of people in the West Qiang is more than 1 million, and the number in the East Qiang is even less, about 300,000.

Since the Western Han Dynasty expanded the four counties of Wuwei, Jiuquan, Zhangye and Dunhuang, wars in the west have often occurred, and they have intensified in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The Qiang people's poor farming and the oppression of the Han officials were one of the reasons for the endless war.

He knew that if he wanted to be promoted in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he could only rely on a certain force, so he relied on the eunuch power in the early stage, but the eunuch power would perish after a few years.

So he wanted to rely on local snobbery at this time, which was also his kindness to Gai Xun and other local celebrities.

Gai Xun treated the Qiang people well, and was caught by him last year, and the Qiang people admired his people, did not dare to kill, and sent them back to Hanyang County.

He was not afraid of this group of Qiang people, but on the contrary, he wanted to appease them.

This reminded him of Duan Ying, a famous general in the late Han Dynasty, in his strategy of dealing with the rebellious Qiang, that is, to stop the rebellion by killing, without mercy, although he ensured the prosperity of Western Xinjiang at a very small cost. But this method is also a big trouble, leaving behind an irreconcilable hatred. When you are strong, I can be a good man; But when you are weak, you will turn your face and deny people.

The arrival of Li Yuan's army had already been discovered, and the Qiang people seemed to be carried away by the overwhelming victory, and rushed up with a roar.

He estimated that there were 300 cavalry, and immediately ordered his men to move up the hillside.

There are several ways to deal with cavalry, such as bows, crossbows, spears, spears, and other weapons with long-range lethality.

Li Yuan had already formed a bow and arrow team more than a month ago, led by He Yi, and at this time, under the cover of the shield bearer, they formed a half-moon shape, stretched out their bows and arrows, and shot the enemy at the slightest order.

"Those who descend will not be killed." The Qiang people have migrated to Han for a long time, and there are not a few people who know Chinese.

Li Yuan was not verbose, his big knife should be replaced with a saber, he pulled out his saber, and said, "Release the arrow." ”

The arrows were released, but they were weak and weak, and they were easily dodged by the enemy, causing greater ridicule.

He Yi's face turned red and he secretly glanced at Li Yuan. Li Yuan didn't blame him, after all, he didn't practice for a long time.

Li Yuan misestimated his strength, seeing that they were extremely skilled in riding horses, even if the army rushed down, they could only be sent to death in vain.

He didn't want his own people to be damaged, this was his dependence.

Now they could only wait, waiting for the group to retreat, but after a while, the cavalry retreated more than ten feet and began to charge towards the hillside.
