Beacon fire on all sides

Sometimes I think about it: it is better to have a good father in life than to have a beautiful and capable sister. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Dou Xian is like this, and Deng Qiu is even more so! They were all beaten on the front line and almost cried to call their mothers, but when they returned to Luoyang, they were received unconventionally and ceremoniously!

Outside Luoyang City, there are no primary school students lining up to welcome, there is no twisting Yangge with Chinese characteristics, and there is no lively scene of balloons flying all over the sky. Only the high-ranking civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, even the princes and princesses, who were seriously waiting, all came out of Luoyang City to greet Deng Qiu!

What Deng Qiu didn't expect was that the old sister Deng Sui not only prepared a hot bath and new clothes for him, but also gave him a beautiful new hat: General!

Life is like this, what a pity. It's not easy to kill the enemy, but is it easy for me to come back alive? At that moment, the shame of Deng Qiu being hunted down by the Qiang people all disappeared!

What kind of family is this, with the merit of defeat, can still climb to the peak of power smoothly? I can only say: God is crazy! But the people of the Han Dynasty didn't expect that even more crazy things were yet to come...

After Deng Qiu fled back, the victorious Dian Ling proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven in Beidi County, recruited the Qiang tribes of Wudu, Shenwolf, Shangjun, and Xihe, cut off Longdao, attacked Zhao Wei in the east, entered Yizhou in the south, and killed Dong Bing, the Taishou of Hanzhong. Sweeping the three auxiliaries, the momentum is very strong. Fortunately, Liang Qing garrisoned Jincheng County, and hurriedly led troops to rescue Sanfu. In the right Fufeng's martial arts, Meiyang two counties and the Qiang soldiers fought several fierce battles, and won every game. Only then did the situation stabilize a little.

On December 30, relief was given to the poor people in Dongdong, Julu, Guangyang, Anding, Dingxiang, Pei and other counties.

In December, Guanghan County was sent to the Han Dynasty. The northern part of Guanghan is the capital of the subject state.

This year, Empress Dowager Deng issued an edict to summon Hou Ba, the captain of the Qiang school, and dismissed him on the charge of 'not being able to control Qiang'. Changed his name to Duan Xi as the captain of Huqiang. He was also appointed as the Marquis of Leting, with 300 households.

This year, 12 prefectures were struck.

On January 9, the 3rd year of Yongchu (109), the 16-year-old Emperor Liu Hu of Han was given amnesty to the world. Give the princes, princesses, nobles, and ministers the following gold silks. The men, the three elders, filial piety, and those who are the sons of the world who are the latter are each given second-class titles. The homeless people each have a first-class knighthood. Compared with the previous edict, it is no longer a universal knighthood, but only a specific object, and the number of knights is also decreasing.

In January, Ren Ren, the commander of the cavalry, was ordered to lead the troops of the counties to rescue Sanfu. can be defeated repeatedly, and the Qiang people are even more rampant. When frying and Le Sister Qiang captured Poqiang County, Jincheng County. Zhong Qiang captured Lintao County, Longxi County, and captured the governor of southwestern Longxi alive.

In January, Goguryeo sent an envoy to consecrate.

In March, a famine of unprecedented proportions occurred in Luoyang, Beijing. The Han Dynasty, which has a glorious history of more than 300 years, is staging a human tragedy at this time - cannibalism!

The so-called peaceful and prosperous times, but people are eating people in the capital! In the face of successive natural and man-made disasters, the Han Dynasty, including the Empress Dowager Deng, was at a loss. On the 2nd, the ministers of the Han Dynasty collectively ran to the palace gate to plead guilty. Empress Dowager Deng waved her sleeves and said sadly, "We are all guilty, let's go back and reflect."

On the 3rd, an edict was issued to lend Hongchi to the poor. On the 12th, Situ Lugong resigned. On April 7, Dahonglu Xia Qin was promoted to Situ. Due to the lack of national use, the three princes jointly played: a request to allow officials and ordinary people to use money to buy officials: Guan Neihou, Hu Ben, Yu Linlang, Wuguan, doctors, government officials, Ti Cai, and battalion soldiers have their own pricing standards. On the 10th, the wasteland that Shanglin and Guangchengyuan could open up was loaned to the poor.

On the 25th, Liu Huwei, the king of Qinghe, died without children. On May 7, Liu Yanping, the cousin of Liu Huwei and the grandson of Liu Yan, the king of Qiancheng, was named the king of Qinghe, succeeding Liu Qing.

On the 24th, the capital Luoyang was windy.

In June, Yuyang and Wuhuan of Youbeiping County rebelled and invaded Dai, Shanggu and other counties.

In June, the most powerful border trouble came: the Southern Huns rebelled! For the Han Dynasty, this is no less than a super earthquake!

You must know: Since the beauty queen Zhaojun came out of the fortress, the relationship between the Southern Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty is as close as siblings. Later, Wang Mang became the emperor and lowered their treatment before rebelling. After Liu Xiu established the country, the Southern Xiongnu came to defect to the eldest brother again, and the two sides reconciled as before. Think about the Eastern Han Dynasty over the years, and do a lot for the Southern Xiongnu. Not to mention giving them food and clothing, but more importantly, to protect them for free from the harassment of the Northern Xiongnu. For this reason, Dou Xian also worked hard to drive the sworn enemies of the Southern Xiongnu to Europe...

But now it's okay: the eldest brother is in trouble, and the younger brother will turn his face and deny people!

Maybe Deng Qiu still can't figure it out. But in fact, someone has long seen this day coming. When Dou Xian wanted to conquer the Northern Xiongnu, Yuan An strongly objected: the Northern and Southern Xiongnu brothers fought each other, which was beneficial to the Han Dynasty. Once the Northern Xiongnu are eliminated and the Southern Xiongnu eliminate the threat, they will rise rapidly and pose a threat to the Han Dynasty again!

Now that I think about it: Jiang is still old and spicy, Yuan An said that it is accurate! What Han-Hungarian friendship is evergreen, it's just! National politics, diplomacy with only morality and no interests, pale as paper; Only with interests and moral exchanges can we be as solid as iron!

Now, the Han Dynasty is like an old man in the twilight, abandoned by the Southern Huns, which is also in line with the law of historical development!

However, if the name of betrayal is attributed to the Southern Xiongnu, it may be a bit wronged to Mr. Shan Yu. The Han Dynasty should first blame a Han and a veritable traitor: Han Cong!

In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a big traitor called Bank of China, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a Han Cong, and the two of them combined, they can be described as a peerless traitor of the Han Dynasty! If you want to talk about skill, the Bank of China said that it may be slightly inferior to the person surnamed Han in front of him. Because the Bank of China said that he was a traitor, he was forced by Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty, and this Han Cong took the initiative to throw himself into his arms and ignite the fire!

Han Cong was mixed in the Southern Xiongnu circle in his early years. When the Qiang rebelled, he went to Luoyang with Wan's corpse to meet Emperor An of Han and Empress Dowager Deng. But as soon as he went back, Han Cong began to lobby Wan's corpse to rebel, "According to my observation, the Han Dynasty is far from having a bad cold this time, but suffering from cancer, and it won't last long." This is a good time for us to turn over and be big brothers, hurry up and do it" Wan's corpse chased Yu Yu believed Han Cong's nonsense, so he rebelled!

In July, the pirate Zhang Bolu raised troops to plunder the nine coastal counties, killing 2,000 stones, county guards, county commanders and other officials. Shi Pangxiong was ordered to lead the state and county soldiers to pacify, Zhang Bolu temporarily surrendered, and soon gathered troops again.

In September, Wuhuan of Yanmen County led the king Wuhe Yun, the Xianbei lord Qiulun, and the Southern Xiongnu Gudu Marquis, with a total of 7,000 cavalry, to invade Wuyuan County and defeat the Han soldiers led by Wuyuan Taishou in Gaoqu Valley.

In October, Zhonglang General Geng Chong was besieged by the Southern Xiongnu rebels in Meiji County, Xihe County. In November, Dasi Nong He Xi was appointed as the general of the chariot cavalry and Pang Xiong, the general of Zhonglang, as the deputy general, and led more than 20,000 soldiers from the five battalions of the Northern Army and the border counties to conquer the Southern Xiongnu. He also ordered Liaodong Taishou Geng Kui to lead the Xianbei soldiers and the border soldiers to cooperate with the expedition. Liang Qing was then named the general of Duliao. After Pang Xiong and Geng Kui joined forces, they defeated the Southern Xiongnu in a battle.

On December 5, an earthquake struck nine counties. On the 19th, there were stars in the Heavenly Garden. This year, it rained in Luoyang and 41 counties. And, there was a great hunger in Liang Erzhou, and people were cannibalistic.

The result of Empress Dowager Deng's reflection is that she can't spend money indiscriminately. She issued an edict to abolish many unnecessary expenses of the palace, and all garden activities on holidays, court bands, etc., were withdrawn! It doesn't matter if you can save a little bit, the standard of living has decreased, the key is that as long as the country is still there and the power is still there, you are not afraid of running out of food tomorrow!

In January of the 4th year of Yongchu (110), the first day of the grand meeting. Empress Dowager Deng specially issued an edict: withdraw music. Do not display things such as rides, legal objects, chariots, etc.

Empress Dowager Deng is introspecting, and her brother Deng Qiu is also introspecting. To tell the truth: he wears the halo of this great general on his head, and his heart is actually very empty. So Deng Qiu began to vigorously recruit talents: recommended He Xi, Li He and others to be listed in the imperial court; Yang Zhen, Chen Chan and others were placed in the shogunate. This move is known all over the world.

On the 6th, Empress Dowager Deng issued an edict to help the poor in Shangjun. It also exempted the people of Sanfu from 3 years of rent.

Zhang Bolu raised troops again, united with Liu Wenhe of Bohai County and Zhou Wenguang of Pingyuan County, captured the county and killed the officials, and its momentum was very strong. In the imperial history, Cheng Wangzong was ordered to hold the festival and levy tens of thousands of soldiers from the counties of Youzhou and Hebei to quell the rebellion. He also appointed Wanling County Ling Faxiong as the assassin of Qingzhou, and worked with Wang Zong to quell the rebellion.

Geng Chong was besieged by the Southern Xiongnu for several months, looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements day and night. Liang Qing and Geng Kui are finally here! They first killed the Southern Xiongnu generals in the former city of the subject country, and then defeated the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu himself, and Shan Yu led his troops to flee north to Huze on the border of Xihe County and Wuyuan County.

On the 21st, Liu Hu issued an edict to reduce the number of hundreds of officials. On February 2, relief was given to the poor in Jiujiang County.

The Southern Xiongnu attacked Changshan County. Yunnan Zero attacked Baozhong County, Hanzhong County, and Zheng Qin, the Taishou of Hanzhong, moved to Baozhong.

Deng Qiu is now counting on Ren Shang on the front line to hold on and earn back face for himself. But unfortunately: Ren Shang not only did not earn it back, but lost all Deng Qiu's face! Ren Shang couldn't withstand the attack of the Qiang people and asked the central government to retreat...

Hearing the news, Deng Qiu was so depressed that he wanted to hit the wall. Think about how good the blueprint Pang Shen drew for himself. As long as Ren Shang can hold the front line, let the people who transport grain go home to farm, and when we have food, we will not be afraid of no matter how big the war is...

Now it's good! Ren Shang can't hold it, the people can't grow crops, and the land is all wasted! Deng Qiu seems to understand a truth: no matter how good the concept is, it is not as good as a reliable executive! Encountering Ren Shang and other three bad goods is the misfortune of the Han Dynasty, and it is also the misfortune of his Deng Qiu!

The central government of the Han Dynasty could only approve Ren Shang's retreat and ordered him to garrison Chang'an. and reprimanded the officials of the three counties of Nanyang, Yingchuan and Runan.

On the 10th, Empress Dowager Deng ordered the establishment of the Jingzhao Huya Governor in Chang'an and the Fufeng Lieutenant in Yongxian. Chang'an is the bottom line of the Han Dynasty! If even Chang'an can't be defended, where will Ren Shang go, and where will Deng Qiu go? Where will the Han Dynasty go?

On the 20th, Liu Hu issued an edict: Those who have migrated to the border counties since the early years of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty should all return to their own counties. Those who are not included in the official slaves and maids are all exempted from being concubines.

In February, Liu Zhen, the author of the Five Classics, and the Doctor of the Five Classics proofread the Five Classics, Zhuzi, Biography, and Hundred Schools of Art, which were neatly removed from errors and were orthographed.

General Deng Qiu's heart was completely messed up. For example, the Qiang people are a big fire, and if you want to put out the fire, you must water it. Is Deng Qiu short of water? There is no shortage! What he lacks is good firefighters. The fire squad leader Ren Shang was unreliable, so he could only find another master. Deng Qiu immediately thought of a person: Pang Shen!

There is no doubt that the one who can get Deng Qiu out of the current predicament is none other than Pang Shen! Pang Shen also immediately sent Deng Qiu a set of plans, describing his thoughts in detail: In the past, I suggested that the central government give up the Western Regions, and everyone laughed at me. But it turns out: I'm right! If we didn't covet those barren lands in the past, how could we provoke fire and make the world uneasy today? Now, the border counties of Liangzhou are in ruins, and the people are struggling to make a living. The land of Sanfu is vast and sparsely populated, and the residents of the border counties should be forcibly relocated to Sanfu, so that the people can recuperate, and the great goodness of goodness...

Deng Qiu seemed to understand: Now the Han Dynasty is in flames everywhere, and there is a shortage of soldiers and people. Instead of waiting to be trapped by the Qiang people, it is better to take the initiative to give up! It's like abandoning the Western Regions two and a half years ago, and the truth is the same... Deng Qiu nodded thoughtfully.

But giving up Liangzhou just for the sake of comfort seems a bit unreasonable? An excuse must be found to gag the mouths of the Han Dynasty ministers. Otherwise, they will run to the palace like shrews and curse the streets...
