Chapter 244: Nine Plains
The rainy season in the north is always a few months later than in the south.
When the south of the Yangtze River was already misty and rainy, the rain in the north refused to fall. It wasn't until the end of July that the heavy rain finally came.
Heavy rain, heavy rain......
For more than ten days, the Yellow River was filled with water, roaring, swirling and tumbling away.
After the rain passed, a rainbow streaked across the sky......
The temperature drops sharply, which seems to tell people that the pace of this cold winter is approaching!
Fusu stood on the cart, holding a pergola and looking north. He wore a navy blue robe, his head tied in a bun, and he was dressed in gold
A two-finger-wide gold plaster was placed on his forehead, holding his bridle in one hand and the sword under his ribs in the other, his eyes were blazing.
Five years of wind and frost in northern Xinjiang have already trained the experience of Fusu.
is no longer the same group of scholars as when he arrived in Northern Xinjiang at the beginning of the year. With a short beard under his jaw and a swarthy face, he looks like a weather-beaten warrior.
The wind coming from the north bank of the river was a little cool.
Roll up the flag and hunt.
Fusudi was in a gloomy mood. He had heard many rumors over the course of several days. said that Hu Hai and Zhao Gao killed their father and killed the king. When I first heard the news. Fusu was really taken aback. But it was immediate. The first emperor's guard of honor crossed the Yellow River from Pingyuanjin. Continue your hunting tour towards the north.
All rumors. It seems to have been self-defeating all at once.
However, after the father crossed the river. He never showed up again. It is said that he is sick......
In fact. When I first heard the news of where my father was killed. Fusu didn't believe it. But then the chariot crossed the river. But it aroused the suspicion of Yingfusu.
Others don't know about the First Emperor. Can Fusu understand.
His own Lao Tzu is stubborn and suspicious. This is not wrong, but the First Emperor has one thing, that is, once a decision is made, he will never change it easily. Before in the county, he said that he wanted to return to Xianyang, but it didn't take a few days. He went back on his word and continued to hunt north.
This may not be a problem in the eyes of others.
But Fusu knew that this was not his own Lao Tzu's character. Could it be that something really happened to my father?
But if something happened to his father, why did Prime Minister Li Si lie? Li Si and his father have fought side by side for a lifetime...... From the beginning when LΓΌ Buwei controlled the government. How many ups and downs Li Si and his father have experienced. The two joined forces and swept through the six countries, which is quite affectionate
If Li Si is anti-Qin?
Fusu will not believe it if he dies.
But if not...... Could it be that the father is really fine?
Thinking of this, Fusu felt very depressed. The father's chariot has arrived in Jinyang, but Fusudi's doubts are getting heavier and heavier.
"Eldest prince, the wind is blowing!"
Li Cheng came across the horse and restrained the war horse beside the chariot. He said softly: "This wind is fierce, let's go back, don't hurt your body." β
Li. Now he is a priest and Fusu's right-hand man.
As he himself said, it is impossible to become a famous player like his grandfather in this life. But that didn't stop him from making an excellent aide. Li Cheng did not focus on military science, but focused on miscellaneous studies. He is quick thinkers and knowledgeable, and can come up with solutions in an instant. There is no rank...... However, Li Cheng is happy to do it, and he is happy every day.
Fusu trusts him a lot!
I think it was him at the beginning. brought Li Cheng from Huaili ** and recommended it to Meng Tian.
Fusu turned his head and smiled faintly, "Be careful, you're screaming." How can this little wind help me? The wind is just right, the brain is clear, and some things can be thought through......
Oh, has the Admiral returned? β
Admiral. Naturally, it is Mengtian.
In the past two years, Donghu has repeatedly knocked on the side and is ready to move.
Unlike before, Donghu's knocking action is much more orderly. In the past, once the Donghu people knocked on the side, burned, killed, and plundered, they did all kinds of evil. Every time I knocked, everything I went was in ruins. However, these two years. The Donghu people seem to have changed their tactics...... They only robbed cattle and sheep and livestock. But it won't be easy to kill. Sometimes, at the time of looting. Some merchants will also be given some appropriate compensation.
This has also made people in some areas of the Northland less repulsive than before.
There were many merchants, after seeing a large amount of money and silk, and they also took the initiative to contact the Huns and sell some controlled items.
Although he killed many people, he was repeatedly banned.
Especially at the beginning of this year, the Donghu people opened a market in the upper reaches of Yanshui, which attracted a large number of merchants.
Fusu has sent someone to inquire clearly, and the person who presided over the activities of knocking on the border and opening the market in the past two years is none other than the second son of Zuoxian King of the Xiongnu and the second son of Touman, Luan Tiali.
Since the defeat of the Xiongnu and the death of Touman, the surviving Huns have been divided into two groups.
One is the eldest son of Youtouman, Mao Dun, who took him to Wolf Juxu Mountain, and quickly gained a firm foothold in the local area. After the annexation of Hujie and other countries, Mao Dun built a single at the foot of Yanran Mountain, on the bank of the Anhou River (now the Orkhon River), named Longcheng, and expanded in all directions.
The other group of Huns, most of whom fled from Henan back then, had nowhere to go.
They defected to Donghu with Luan Tiali, starting from a small tent at the beginning, and gradually unfolding. Later, Luan Tiali gradually recruited some Yan Zhao people who did not want to live under the laws of Great Qin, including the sergeants of the Yan Zhao army. With these people, Luan Tiali's department continued to grow. Donghu has eight tents, and it is the most powerful tribe in Donghu. And Luan Tiali's department, after five years, is no weaker than any of the eight major accounts. But Luan Tiali kept his composure.
He suffered greatly from infighting, and under the guidance of Yan Zhao's strategists, he judged the situation.
Donghu is Ali's reliance, so he won't turn his face with Donghu...... At least for now, he will never turn against the Donghu people.
Therefore, Luan Tiali chose to go south.
But it is not an iron horse like before, but a restrained southward movement and frequent contact with the Central Plains.
In order to gain the favor of the Central Plains people, Ali also asked someone to give him a Central Plains name. His tribe lives close to the land of the old Yan, so he takes Yan as his surname. And because there is a stagnant water on the side of the tribe, which does not move all day long, and its name is slave, and it has a table. For the twelve.
Lang Tong wolf sound......
Ali will never forget his Hun bloodline.
Many locals, even affectionately calling him Tshiro, have a little more affinity for his southward action.
Mao Dun is far away in Yanran Mountain, and there is still the Yue Clan Kingdom in the middle, so there is no need to bother for the time being. However, this Luan Tiali. It has become a big problem.
Meng Tian was very wary of this Yan slave.
Therefore, when the market opened in Yanshui in March, Meng Tian led his troops to check.
Huns, my heart will not die!
Li Cheng coughed lightly, "Don't worry, the eldest prince has sent someone to inform the general...... It is estimated that in a day or two, it will definitely arrive. β
Caution is the name given to him by Li Cheng's father.
In his father's words, Li Cheng's grandfather, Li Xin, was back then. It is frivolous and arrogant, which leads to the failure of Vachu. Therefore, I hope that Li Cheng can think twice about everything and act prudently. Li Cheng did exactly that. Even if he has a countermeasure, he will think twice.
Fusu suddenly asked, "What do you think?" β
"Ah, what do you see?"
"Don't be sloppy with me, you know in your heart, I'm asking you something."
"But what are the rumors about Your Majesty?"
Fusu didn't speak, just tapped the wheel lightly with the scabbard. That means: You're right!
Li Chengdun felt a headache......
This is a matter involving the royal family, how can I comment casually as a foreign minister? He pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "The eldest prince." When the minister first heard this rumor, he was very surprised. But if you think about it, there is no wind and no waves...... This rumor is quite strange. β
"You mean, probably true?"
Li Cheng lowered his head, but did not speak.
"If it's true...... Why didn't the car drive back to Xianyang, but came north? β
"According to common sense, the driver should go back to Xianyang first and correct his name immediately. Once the name is corrected. At that time, the eldest prince can only be seen with the courtesy of his subordinates. However, instead of returning to Xianyang, the car drove north...... The minister thinks that maybe something very important is missing, and it can't be justified. β
Fusu's body trembled, and he turned his head to stare at Li Cheng.
"What could it be?"
"Your Majesty doesn't know about this."
Fusu used the scabbard to hit the wheel more urgently. The sound of tinkling echoed in the lonely field, and Fusu's gaze was extremely solemn.
After a moment, he said, "Li Cheng." You give the order at once. Let Meng Ji Meng Ke slaughter three people, and lead his troops from Jiuyuan to the front line of Yuzhong. Patrol closely. Especially in the area of Shenmuling of the Guye River, carefully check the passing personnel. If someone wants to send something over, then Shenmu Ridge will be the only place where they can bypass the level, and it is also the only way for them to go. If there is news, report it immediately. β
Li Cheng snorted, ready to turn the horse's head.
At this moment, I heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
"The eldest prince, the eldest prince!"
Immediately, someone rolled the saddle and fell off the horse in front of the car, knelt down on one knee and said, "The eldest prince, the general is back!" β
"Huh?"
"The general also said that he asked the eldest prince to return to the city immediately, he has something important to discuss with the eldest prince."
When Fusu heard this, he didn't say a word, pulled the bridle, and the car suddenly turned around in a circle, "Li Cheng, you go to give the order, and the others will follow me back to the city!" β
Before the words fell, the war horse neighed.
The car rolled up a puff of dust and smoke and sped away.
Li Cheng didn't dare to slack off, turned his horse's head and walked into the distance. I finally got some leisure, if that rumor is true, I'm afraid that the war will be rekindled!
Jiuyuan City, in the north and east flow of the Great River Loop.
The newly built city is majestic and majestic. At the beginning of the city's construction, it coincided with Li Cheng's return from the building. Li Cheng is full of praise for the pattern of Loucang Town. So Fusu adopted Li Chengdi's suggestion, took Liu Kandi's method of building a city, and built the current city.
After several years of operation, Jiuyuan City has become the first important town in northern Xinjiang.
After the First Emperor ordered the establishment of Jiuyuan County, he successively moved 60,000 households to Jiuyuan County, with a population of about 270,000, making it prosperous rapidly. Jiuyuan City has a population of 60,000, which is a rare large city in northern Xinjiang, where wars are frequent. After several years of hard work by Meng Tian and Fusu, it became even more prosperous. The streets of warp and weft are staggered, and the pattern is quite similar to Xianyang City.
Fusu drove outside the gate of the General's Mansion, reined in his horse, and jumped off the carriage.
"Tu Tu, why are you here?"
Fusu unexpectedly saw Tu Tu standing outside the gate of the mansion, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"The eldest prince, the last general will come with the general...... The general ordered the general to wait here for the eldest prince, and he met in the study. β
Hearing this, Fusu was stunned again.
In terms of official rank and rank, it is natural that Meng Tian is a few points higher than him. However, because of his identity, every time Fusu came, Meng Tian would go out to greet him, which was called etiquette. But this time, Meng Tian didn't greet him, but only sent Tu Tu here to wait for him.
Looking at Tu Tu's appearance, Fusu immediately realized that there must be something wrong here.
"Take me there!"
This general's mansion is very familiar to Fusu, and there is no need to slaughter and lead it. But for some reason, Fusu let Tu Tu lead the way this time. As a result, Fusu couldn't help but feel frightened along the way. The General's Mansion covers an area of 300 hectares, divided into nine internal and external entrances, and has a small school field.
Meng Tian has 800 ironclad troops, and they live in this general's mansion.
Along the way, I saw a forest of soldiers on both sides, heavily guarded. One by one, they were holding swords, guns, swords, and halberds, shining brightly, but they were murderous.
Looks like something big is wrong!
Fusu thought as he followed Tu Tu to the outside of the study.
I saw that on the corridor next to the study, there was a small giant squatting. A body of cuff armor, already in tatters.
The vertebrae are fluffy and carry a long sword.
Looking at the dress, Fusu recognized it at a glance, this was the outfit of the Iron Eagle Ruishi. At first glance, when he looked at this little giant, Fusu thought it was Liu Kan. But if you look closely, it's not. seems to be much younger than Liu Kan, about seventeen or eighteen years old, revealing youth.
Who is this little guy?
It's an old man again......
The little giant raised his head and met Fusu's gaze.
Fusu is a clever man, and the gaze of this little guy is really fierce. If he is older than back then, this little guy is more vicious.
"Tu Tu, who is that?"
Tu Tu was just about to answer when the door of the study opened.
When Meng Tian saw Fusu, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, grabbed Fusu's arm, and said eagerly: "Prince, come in with me!" β
"General, why are you? Why are you so alarmed? β
In the memory of Fusudi, Meng Tian has always been synonymous with calmness. However, at this moment, Meng Tian panicked, as if he had lost his soul. This made Fusu quite incomprehensible, and he stumbled into the study by Meng Tian, and just stood firm, but there was still one person in the study.
As soon as the man saw Fusu, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
He was huge, broad-shouldered and round-waisted. He was wearing a soft armor and a tattered black robe. On the robe, faintly, stains of blood can be seen. There was a pungent smell, as if I hadn't taken a bath for a long time, and my face was dusty and tired.
When Fusu saw this person, he was stunned at first.
After a closer look, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Beiguang Wujun? How are you...... You, you, how could you be like this! β
In the previous chapter, there was an error.
It should be Jiuyuan County, and the old and new ones were mistakenly written as Wuyuan County. Gohara-gun was the name of the Han Dynasty, and from this chapter, it was changed.
