Chapter Fifty-Six: The Proposal to Move the Capital, Hedong Prepares for War

Just when Tian Jing was at a loss, a yellow gate suddenly came in to report, "Shengshang, Qi Tai, the governor of Hedong, came to report that a team was found in the Baili Jishan Pavilion in the north of Anyi City, and it was coming to Anyi under the banner of Dong Cheng, the general of Anji of the Great Han Dynasty, may I ask if the Shengshang sent troops to stop it?" ”

Emperor Xian was overjoyed when he heard it: "It turned out that Dong Cheng came to join me, hurry up to greet me." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

As soon as Tian Jing heard that Dong Cheng was coming, he wondered how this person's soldiers and horses could make a detour to enter Hedong from the north.

Yang Biao, the captain on the side, said: "Holy Lord, since Dong Cheng has come thousands of miles to vote, why don't you let the old minister and General Tian go to meet him together?" ”

Offering the emperor to play, Tian Jing and Yang Biao went down to prepare. Tian Jing ordered the 1,000 cavalry of the Hedong Cavalry Captain that Leping had just formed, and went to meet Dong Cheng with Yang Biao.

When he arrived at Jishan Pavilion, he found that the two armies were facing each other, and Qi Tai could only lead the army to block it because he did not get the instructions of the imperial court. But at the same time, he also told Dong Cheng that he had sent someone to ask the saint for instructions. Dong Cheng was not in a hurry, and ordered the brigade to rest on the spot.

Now since Tian Jing and Yang Biao, Qi Tai hurriedly came up to salute and explain the situation. Tian Jing praised Qi Tai, and then asked him to withdraw the team and prepare in advance to be responsible for the escort work along the way. The so-called guards along the way are just one more hand of defense, although Dong Cheng is here to take refuge in Emperor Xian, but after all, it cannot be taken lightly.

Tian Jing and Yang Biao went to see Dong Cheng together, and Dong Cheng knew that Yang Biao came up to greet the captain. But it was the first time he saw Tian Jing, so he asked Yang Biao, "Who is this little general?" ”

Yang Biao smiled, "General Dong hasn't seen this person yet, okay, the old man came to introduce him, this is the general Zhendong who has just been sealed by the saint, Hou Tianjing in the Northern Army." The battle of Hedong relied on General Tian's command to have today's situation. You two will have to be close in the future. ”

Dong Cheng hurriedly clenched his fists: "I have admired the name for a long time, I don't want the general to be so young when I see it today, I really want to be a hero and a young man." I'm afraid we old guys can't compare to you, and I believe that the general will definitely be the mainstay of my Han army in the near future. ”

Tian Jing's first impression of Dong Cheng was good, and he hurriedly returned the salute, "When General Anji is smiling, how can the kid He De be in the same column as all the generals, and I will ask you more questions in the future." ”

After some politeness, Yang Biao asked about the matter: "I heard that General Dong escorted hundreds of officials, I don't know where all my colleagues are." ”

Dong Cheng's face was slightly unnatural, and he hurriedly said to Yang Biao: "Don't hide it, this matter is still a little troublesome." Before letting the two of them meet with the hundred officials, Dong promised each person a request to ask the Holy Lord for permission. ”

Yang Biao felt strange when he heard it, "Ou? I wonder who this seeker is, and what permission is asked of the Holy One? ”

Dong Cheng told him how Yang Feng contacted him, and then used a plan to rescue hundreds of officials, and the two went all the way north to avoid Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses, and Yang Feng subdued Han Xian and Li Le. At the same time, he also said that Yang Feng rescued Emperor Xian that day, and the conflict with Tian Jing and others was really a misunderstanding. He hoped that Emperor Xian would make a decree not to pursue him for the best of the day, and at the same time reward him for meritorious deeds and seal him as the general of the future. Including Han Xian and Li Le have already been attached, and the saint should also be rewarded.

Yang Biao didn't speak after listening.

Tian Jing took it first, "It seems that the hundred officials are now in Yang Feng's hands, what he means is that if the saint does not reward him, he will hijack the hundred officials, right?" ”

Dong Cheng hurriedly said, "That's not it." General Yang is a sincere gentleman, and he is dedicated to the country, since he has rescued hundreds of officials, he will not have two hearts. It's just that I'm afraid that I've offended the general and the saint before, but I'm ...... Ahem, it's not an exaggeration to say that people have a heart for self-preservation. ”

Dong Cheng suddenly felt that Tian Jing's eyes suddenly became sharp when he looked at him, so he didn't dare to look at Tian Jing anymore, but went to ask Yang Biao's opinion.

How can Yang Biao not see the key to this, but the current situation is that hundreds of officials are in the hands of Yang Feng, and Anyi is at the time of employing people, so there is one more person and one more help. What's more, if you don't agree, I'm afraid it will be difficult to subdue Dong Chengzhi.

Yang Biao said to Dong Cheng, "General Dong's meaning is understandable, but we can't do anything about this kind of situation, and we have to ask the saint." Why don't General Dong camp here temporarily, and wait for the emperor to be rewarded, how about General Dong and his old man go to Anyi? ”

Dong Cheng said: "This is very good. Then he turned and went back to the camp.

At this time, Tian Jing asked Leping to be stationed here, so he had to go back to Anyi with Yang Biao to resume his life. On the way, Yang Biao saw that Tian Jing was sullen, so he said: "Virtuous nephew, politics is a very delicate matter, although some things are reluctant, but for the sake of the overall situation, they have to compromise. ”

Tian Jing hurriedly returned: "Lord Taiwei, I also know the importance of this matter, so I have never objected to you saying that you will go back to restore your life." It's just that Yang Feng has repeated this person several times, although he has contributed to the imperial court, he is really opportunistic. I'm not afraid to reward him, I'm only worried that this person will become a problem in the future. ”

Yang Biao thought for a while and said: "It's okay, let him go out of the town in the future, and put it between the soldiers and horses of the virtuous nephew and the hussar general Zhang Ji, I don't expect him to be able to set off too much storm." ”

The two went back to Emperor Xian, and Emperor Xian heard that Yang Feng was invited to merit, although he didn't like it, but how could he govern the world without a hundred officials around him. Although he was not very reluctant, he still agreed to the reward.

And Dong Cheng is Dong Guiren's father, and he and himself are of the same heart after all, so they should take a good look at this time. Therefore, Emperor Xian issued a decree to crown Dong Cheng as the former general, Yang Feng as the rear general, Han Xian and Li Le as the generals of Fenwei and Fenwu. The rest of the people have their own rewards. Mingqi came to Anyi as soon as possible to meet the driver.

On the second day, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng came with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from their headquarters and a total of 100 officials. Emperor Xian personally greeted.

Everyone rested for one day, and on the second day, all officials went to court. Although the temporary palace in Anyi is small, it also has a large hall for political affairs. As soon as the hundred officials went to the palace, there was an atmosphere of going to the court. is not as lonely as a few ministers such as Yang Biao a few days ago.

Emperor Xian is in a good mood today, because he can finally be in charge of the government, and he has found the feeling that he wanted to get a long time ago. Although he is now in a remote town like Anyi, at least he is satisfied now.

His Royal Highness is a military official, and the civil officials are mainly the Taiwei Yang Biao, and the military general is respected by the hussar general Zhang Ji. Today, the DPRK will stand according to the position. Tian Jing, as the general of Zhendong, happened to be standing next to the rear general Yang Feng, the two of them are old rivals, they are very polite on this side, but they actually have their own abacus in their hearts.

The primary thing to discuss today is still the matter of the Southern Xiongnu asking for peace with Yufuluo. In the past, there were no hundred officials, only a few people could discuss, but now that the hundred officials are in the court, the argument between you and me is endless.

There are those who disagree with and kiss, thinking that it will damage the prestige of the Han. Some people agree to make peace, thinking that it is just right to quell the rebellion of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and the emperor can return the capital to Chang'an as soon as possible. In the end, from the discussion of harmony, it became the discussion of moving the capital. In addition to Chang'an, there are also those who propose to return to Luoyang, and there are also those who propose to move the capital to Hongnong. The officials had their own opinions and quarreled.

Tian Jing didn't say a word, and suddenly felt very tired. When the heart said that there were no hundred officials, he felt that everything was fine, why did the hundred officials come and feel that the world is in chaos.

The officials discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with any good solutions.

When it was time to disperse the dynasty, Emperor Xian left Tian Jing and Yang Biao to discuss matters, to be honest, among the current hundred officials, Emperor Xian is the most trusted by these two.

Regarding the matter of the Xiongnu and relatives, Yang Biao proposed, it is better to allow it, the so-called time and that time, the advantage of harmony is that it can deal with Li Dao and Guo Yan, and the news from Yang Feng and Dong Cheng is that now the two have re-aligned themselves, and they are afraid that the next step will definitely attack Hedong. Even if the Huns are unwilling to make a good contribution, at least they will not fight the wolf at the front door and the tiger at the back door. But the time can be delayed for a longer time, that is, to talk first, when to send the princess out of the customs can be determined, the so-called annual tribute can only be used as a bride price, if the Han is strong in the future, it will not be regarded as a dishonest dishonesty.

Regarding the matter of moving the capital, if you defeat Li Dao and Guo Yan, it is better to return to Chang'an. As for Luoyang, Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang to the ground, if he wanted to rebuild the palace and resettle the people, he didn't know how much money it would cost.

Tian Jing did not express his opinion on the matter of harmony, because from his heart he was reluctant. A country protects at the expense of a weak woman's happiness, which is the most shameful thing he and his master Zhao Yun thought back then.

As for returning the capital to Chang'an, he thinks that it will be very difficult in one or two years, Li Dao and Guo Yan's army adds up to 70,000, and now the total number of soldiers and horses in Hedong is only 20,000, and most of them are rabble. Even with Zhang Jihongnong's 20,000 soldiers and horses, they are not the opponents of Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Things in Luoyang can be prepared first, and when it is appropriate, when to consider moving the capital. After all, Anyi is not a place to live for a long time. Tian Jing proposed that Emperor Xian give the Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang a decree, asking him to prepare for the re-establishment of the palace in Luoyang and the collection of the displaced people, and at the same time select a few capable people from among the hundreds of officials in the court to help Zhang Yang. In the future, Zhang Yang can be allowed to serve as a lieutenant.

Yang Biao and Tian Jing, who was the emperor of the emperor, had a feasible idea.

The next day, when he went to the court, he did not wait for the hundred officials to discuss it again, and offered the emperor to make an arbitrary decision and arrange a matter of affairs. After the matter of peace and relatives and the relocation of the capital is handled. At the same time, Emperor Xian arranged the deployment of various armies. Based on the command of Zhang Quan, the captain of the Tiger Ben, the Tiger Guard Battalion was built to guard the Anyi Palace, and Zhang Quan was promoted to the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang. The soldiers and horses under the command of the former general Dong Cheng were responsible for the defense of Anyi City. Hedong Commander Qi Tai and Hedong Cavalry Commander Leping were in charge of the defense outside Anyi City.

Tian Jing, the general of Zhendong, returned to the town of Pusaka, and transferred the commander of the Shui Lieutenant and the Captain Wu Fang of Shangjun to the south to assist Tian Jing in defending Anyi.

Hussar general Zhang Ji returned to the army Hongnong and guarded Tongguan.

Later, the general Yang Feng was stationed in Hebei and Dayang, and at the same time sent heavy troops to protect the safety of Fenglingdu and ensure the connection between Hedong and Hongnong counties.

After the dispersal of the dynasty. Tian Jing and Zhang Ji said goodbye to Zhang Quan and the others, and rode south. When he arrived at Pusaka, Zhang Ji left 2,000 men and horses to assist Tian Jing in defending the city, and returned to Hongnong with the remaining 6,000 soldiers and horses.

Before leaving, Tian Jing persuaded Zhang Ji to let Zhang Xiu's side postpone his advance into Jingzhou, because he was worried that Li Dao and Guo Yan would go all out to attack Hedong and Hongnong counties this time, so they should prepare early.
