Chapter 66: All parties move

The imperial court allowed the border land to be too shou to recruit troops privately to convey to the states, and for a while, the originally barren Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liangzhou became hot. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Especially in the counties bordering Xianbei, the position of Taishou does not know how many people are staring at, as long as you are not careful, it will become someone else's bag.

Dai County, Shanggu County, Yuyang County, Youbeiping, Liaoxi County, etc., Yunzhong County, Wuyuan County, Beidi County and Wuwei County in Liangzhou, these county guards are particularly important.

The main force of the Xianbei army was in Bingzhou, and the pressure on Youzhou and Liangzhou was relatively small, and the border Taishou of these two states immediately began to expand their troops after receiving the imperial decree, and the Xianbei army, which had been driving straight into the country, soon encountered fierce resistance.

In order to protect their own interests, the families will never allow the Xianbei people to share the food in their territory, the border land is already strong, because the land is barren, not as good as the Central Plains, so the people are relatively few, but it is precisely because of this that the strength of the family that can gain a foothold in this place should not be underestimated.

The 100,000 Xianbei soldiers who invaded Beidi County have lost one-third of them in a month, and as for the 100,000 troops in Youzhou, they have been surrounded and intercepted by soldiers from several counties, and only half of them are left in a month.

Such huge casualties did not occur even in the most fierce battles in the merger states, and the leaders of the Xianbei tribes complained about this, and suggested to the king of Khan that the three Xianbei troops should be combined together to take the annexed states.

Tanshihuai was a little hesitant after hearing this, but he did not make a decision, the remaining two Xianbei had already planned to retreat, when he learned that the eastern Xianbei and the western Xianbei were ready to withdraw back to the tribe, Tanshihuai finally issued an order to combine the three Xianbei troops together and go to the northern camp of Bingzhou to converge.

After receiving the order of the Khan King, although the Xianbei leaders of the Eastern and Western Divisions were unwilling, they also had to honestly carry out the order, as long as the sandalwood acacia did not die for a day, their vain attempt to become independent could not be realized.

These days, although the losses of the two Xianbei in the east and west are mixed, but the harvest is also a lot, they drive straight in, go straight to the hinterland, and break several big cities in a row, the flower world in the city really dazzles them these grassland boys, the water is smart, the slippery silk, and the inexhaustible weapons and armor, gold and silver pearls, all of this, let them indulge in it.

It is said that Gentle Township is a hero's mound, just when these Xianbei people were lost in the life of drunken gold, the Han army suddenly attacked the city with the help of Neiying, and the Xianbei soldiers were caught off guard, suffered heavy losses, and finally carried a small number of gold and silver property out of the city.

These gold and silver naturally cheapened the officials and soldiers, to be precise, they were cheaper than those officials who guarded the palace, in addition to the inventory in the city, a lot of food and property in it were looted from the major families, and now they are all cheaper.

In fact, if it weren't for the Xianbei people who wantonly robbed the property of these families in the city, they would not have been driven out of the city so quickly, once the interests of the family were plundered, it would be the counterattack of all the families, even the eagles on the grassland, when they arrived here, they had to follow their customary rules.

Those high-headed horses, into the world of flowers, have already exhausted their fighting spirit, where would they think of these problems, but for the Xianbei people, they are not at a loss, this lying to get enough property, and it is precisely because of this that they already want to retire, get the order of Tanshi Huai, so they reluctantly rushed to Wuyuan.

And for those who led the troops to quell the rebellion, this time it was also a lot of gains, not only seized a large amount of property, but also achieved the attention of the imperial court, in one fell swoop drove the Xianbei people out of the Han land, their battle report into the imperial court, the emperor Longxin was happy, and praised these Taishou heavily.

Just when the emperor was about to give them a promotion, but they were unexpectedly unanimously refused, they tasted the sweetness of power for the first time, where are they willing to go to Luoyang to be a talker, trapped in the backwater of Luoyang, in addition to infighting, or infighting, where are they living comfortably now.

Therefore, in the face of Liu Hong's promotion, they both openly and secretly expressed their refusal, and some even gave a big gift to the ten permanent servants, not for promotion, but to let them continue to sit in this position in peace.

For a time, the position of the frontier taishou that no one cared about, with an order from the emperor, instantly became hot, and these border taishou who held real power also became the existence of major families and court ministers vying to win over.

The Han Dynasty is declining, and some people of insight have been able to see that in this case, military power is particularly important, especially for the safety of the border land, Taishou can recruit troops privately, this privilege directly led to the emergence of border towns, and within a few years, the imperial court will be beyond the reach of this whip.

These border counties will become the self-reserved land of each Taishou, to take and take away, and hold the power of life and death, and the trend of the tail is not falling has begun to take shape.

Didn't you see that the main forces of the two Xianbei divisions of the east and west had escaped? Could it be that the Great Han really didn't have the strength to destroy them?

Of course not, raising Kou is self-respecting, this is the tacit decision of each Tai Shou, only by letting these alien races maintain enough power, and once or twice in a long time, their status will be as stable as Mount Tai.

No one does not understand this simple truth, so they will fight the snake and not die, and even secretly communicate with it.

It is unknown whether the emperor knows the plans of these guards, but those court ministers must be able to see it, and even if they see it, they also choose to acquiesce, in the final analysis, the Han is the royal family surnamed Liu and the family share the world, and now they just give the family some more power.

The overall situation of Youzhou Liangzhou has been decided, and the dark clouds over the state are shrouded, and the eyes of the entire Han are focused on Wuyuan County, and even rumors have spread in the court, saying that Wuyuan County is too guarded by Gao Shun's corpse and is not worthy of continuing to sit in this position, and should be selected for meritocracy.

This news naturally reached the ears of the Su family in Jiuyuan County through special channels, and the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce had already opened a shop in Luoyang as early as last year, on the one hand, in order to listen to the movements of the imperial court, and more importantly, to make friends with imperial court officials.

After Su Wei got the news, he immediately found Gao Shun to discuss countermeasures: "Peping, at the moment, there are people in the court who are quite dissatisfied with you, the Taishou, seeing that the war in Youzhou in Liangzhou has ended, and the two sides of our Wuyuan County have been deadlocked, and now these rumors have been provoked, I am worried that in the long run, I am afraid that it will become elbows and armpits." ”

Gao Shun also frowned, he was not a fledgling in the officialdom anymore, he knew this very well, and replied: "Uncle is reasonable, the imperial court has issued the will to allow the general government to recruit soldiers privately, and the position under my ass will become a fragrant dumpling, and everyone wants to come and take a bite." ”

"Especially now that the rest of the Liangzhou war has ended, according to reliable information, the remnants of the defeated soldiers of the East and West Divisions have rushed to the Xianbei camp outside the city, and now our Wuyuan County has been put on the fire to roast, if you are not careful, you will lose your official position, and your family will be ruined."

"Pepin's words are very true!" Su Wei didn't understand this truth, and sighed helplessly: "Not to mention that the enemy is strong and I am weak at the moment, the enemy army is several times larger than our army, and it is already very difficult to hold on to the city. ”

Gao Shun nodded approvingly, but as a Taishou, he had an unshirkable responsibility, he was in the same boat as the Su family, one was prosperous and the other was lost, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Uncle, General Duliao has a grudge against the Su family?" Why every time we fight, we are repeatedly targeted at our army, and the most difficult battles always make our county soldiers responsible, it stands to reason that this should be the responsibility of General Du Liao. ”

Hearing this, Su Wei thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "I have never met General Duliao, so how can I talk about offending, but you also know that the Su family has developed from Wuyuan County to Jiuyuan County, and there are many people who have offended, especially the Cui family before the clearance, although this matter has passed, it is difficult to guarantee that there are people among them who are related to General Duliao, not to mention that the Cui family is still a side branch of the Boling Cui family, I think it is probably these reasons." ”

"That's not going to be easy." Gao Shun was a little worried when he heard this.

"But Pepin doesn't have to worry about it." Su Yu comforted him and said: "The public is the public, the private is the private, even if General Du Liao has an opinion on the Su family, at the moment the two armies are facing each other, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and the other party will not be unreasonable, once I leave the help of my Su family, this Jiuyuan County will be broken." ”

Speaking of this, Su Wei was a lot more confident, and continued: "Besides, my Su family has interests with Dong Zhonglang, and now the three parties are evenly matched, as long as we maintain a good relationship with Dong Zhonglang, General Du Liao is also alone." And Dong Zhonglang is bent on making contributions on the battlefield, we might as well seize his thoughts and encourage him to go out of the city to fight, whether it is successful or not, it can be regarded as giving an explanation to those princes of the court. ”

"This plan works!"

After the two discussed, they found Dong Zhuo and discussed the war in private, Dong Zhuo listened to the night attack, and asked with some hesitation: "Wenlong, Peping, a few days ago, our family went out of the city with an army of 10,000 to attack at night, and was caught off guard by that group of beasts. ”

"What Dong Zhuolang said is extremely true." Su Wei, the word Wenlong, Dong Zhuo called his character to show the meaning of closeness, but he already had a draft in his heart, and immediately said: "I have discussed with the envoy, our soldiers are divided into two ways, we attract the attention of the Xianbei army at the north gate, and then those strange beasts will inevitably be driven to attack the city, and then Dong Zhonglang's soldiers are divided into two ways, from the east and west gates, take advantage of the situation to kill, go around to the rear of Xianbei, and kill him by surprise." ”

"This ......" Dong Zhuo was still a little hesitant, but he saw Li Ru in the distance nodding, and immediately agreed: "In this way, it will be done according to Wenlong's wishes, and whether this battle can be meritorious depends on Wenlong and Boping." ”

"Dong Zhonglang is serious, he is all working for the imperial court." The two of them clasped their fists together, not daring to say anything.
