Chapter 60: The Nanyang People
Jiang Hexing didn't ask much about Fan Jia's affairs, Jiang Hexing was busy with all aspects of Pingzhou, so how much time did he have to care about Fan Jia's business. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although the weather is freezing and the snow is closing the roads, there are many things in Pingzhou this year, especially the immigration, although the weather is cold, but the border counties are still pouring to Pingzhou one after another. Jiang Hexing and Li Xiaowen are busy with these chores every day, and urgently respond to all aspects.
At this time, Zheng Yi came to Jiang Hexing in person, and it turned out that Zhang Meng's news had returned. After several months of pursuit, Zhang Meng defeated King Zuoxian's ambush in the desert, and then chased King Zuo Xian through Monan. It's almost time to reach the boundary of the new dynasty, and finally King Zuo Xian was captured alive.
The place where he captured King Zuo Xian alive was not far from the surrendered city. Just when the officials of the new dynasty learned the news, they invited Zhang Meng and his cadres into the surrendered city on the grounds of congratulating Zhang Meng, and held a feast to entertain Zhang Meng's entire army.
The generals who invited Zhang Meng to the banquet were called Lin Bao and Dai Grade, and Zhang Meng was greatly moved. At the banquet, the two generals took turns to persuade the wine, congratulated Zhang Meng and the Pingzhou army on avenging the people of the border county, and took out a lot of gold to reward Zhang Meng.
Not only the two generals, but all the soldiers under Zhang Meng were warmly welcomed by the soldiers of the new dynasty.
These two generals led 10,000 cavalry and stationed in the surrendered city, which was too small, and most of them were still stationed in the surrendered city for a week. That night, the two armies had a big party, and Zhang Meng, who was sleepy and tired, ate meat and drank a lot of wine, almost drunk like a puddle of mud.
That knows, the great joy is followed by the great sorrow, that night, Lin Bao and Dai did not drink too much, taking advantage of Zhang Meng's special division to drink too much, he actually took the people and horses to take away the prisoners such as King Zuoxian. Among Zhang Meng's army, there were a few who didn't drink much, and they didn't play a role, so they were arrested red-handed and tied up.
The next day, Zhang Meng woke up and found that King Zuo Xian had been robbed, Lin Bao and Dai Rank, and 10,000 cavalry, who had already run away, and there was an empty city left in the surrendered city.
Someone was sent to look for it, but the two had already run away without a trace, and they also found a letter left by Lin Bao to Zhang Meng, saying that King Zuo Xian was taken away by the imperial court, and the two were also forced to do so.
Zhang Meng scolded angrily, but in order to cross the desert, the special division almost did not bring horses, and the chariots were basically camels, while Lin Baodai and others were all cavalry, and no matter how capable the special division was, it could not catch up.
Helpless, Zhang Meng had no choice but to go back to his home, and go back to Pingzhou Mansion to ask Jiang Hexing for his guilt.
These things were told to Zheng Yi in advance, and Zhang Meng now brought his horses from Yangwu City, braved the wind and snow, and walked on the way back to Pingzhou Mansion.
Jiang Hexing couldn't cry or laugh, Zhang Meng was still too young, he had practiced any tactics and any harsh environment, and he was actually deceived by a few words, it seems that this special division is still inexperienced, and everything will be said when he comes back.
King Zuo Xian was taken away by the imperial court, and King Youxian of the Xiongnu fled back to his royal court and established himself as the Xiongnu Da Danyu. He also crowned various princes and restored control of Monan and the western Xiongnu region. People who have not heard much before, such as the King of the Right Valley, the King of the Sun, etc., have now been reused, and it seems that there is another momentum, in the vicinity of the Western Regions, as well as the Hetao area, and even the Monan area, showing off their might.
What do these Huns want to do, do they want to provoke me, the Huns know that it is difficult for them to enter the army at this time, so at this time they made a big noise in the court of the former Youxian Wang, and also declared that they want to avenge Lao Danyu and so on.
Jiang Hexing saw that the Huns were tossing so much, and he felt a little inward-looking, and he smiled secretly in his heart, let them run rampant for a few more days, and then watch Ma Yuan to clean them up after the New Year.
The weather is getting colder, the snow is getting thicker, and it is starting to be difficult to get out. At this time, Wu Han retreated from Pingwu City to Pingzhou Mansion with an independent division, and Jiang Hexing let them live in a military camp outside the city, set up camp, and act as a barrier to Pingzhou Mansion.
Jiang Hexing asked Wu Han about his return, and when Wu Han left, Ma Yuan had already gathered the Xiongnu herdsmen, cattle and sheep. Li Xiaoquan has been sweeping thousands of miles to the north, and wherever he passed, the Xiongnu herdsmen no longer had a place to hide. Although Li Xiaoquan has a large area, after all, the Xiongnu area is too vast, and it has already entered winter, and Li Xiaoquan and others have returned to Pingwu City to rest. Ma Yuan built a simple castle in the original Shan Yuting, which was much smaller than Pingwu City, but Ma Yuan, Wu Kui, Ma Biao and others were stationed in Shan Yuting. Prepare to deal with the Right Virtuous King again next year.
Jiang Hexing ordered Wu Han to rest first and prepare to go to Jizhou next year. Wu Han received the order, went back to select people and horses, and made preparations in all aspects, especially sending some people directly to Phoenix Island to learn the method of salt making, waiting for the spring of next year, and going directly to Jizhou.
Jiang Hexing thought about next year's arrangement, and Wu Han is also very critical here. Wu Han has been here for a few years, and he has not seen him very much, so he is not very familiar with him, and he can reuse it to a large extent because he trusts Wu Kui, Wu Kui vigorously recommended Wu Han, and Jiang Hexing pulled Wu Han out of the army, ready to let him take charge alone.
Wu Han traveled long distances and had just returned to Pingzhou Mansion to rest. Jiang Hexing wanted to go and see the soldiers who came back, and chatted with Wu Han by the way.
The sun hung lazily in the southeast sky, the weather was still cold, and the rivers were tightly wrapped, and they rode in a carriage to the military camp in the southwest corner of Pingzhou Mansion.
Along the way, there are few pedestrians, the snow on both sides of the road has turned dirty and black, the horses' hooves are stepping on the frozen road, and the sound of the horses' hooves clattering the tower is particularly crisp.
Seeing that it was not far from the barracks, there were more carriages on the road. They went very fast, and they went beyond the rivers.
Jiang Hexing sat on the carriage and looked forward, only to see a row of cars parked at the gate of the barracks in front of him, and counted eight cars. The first two cars were sealed in the carriages, and it was clear that the people inside were warmer in the cold winter. The six cars behind were all wagons, and the wagons were covered with canvas and bulging, so that it was impossible to see what was inside.
There was a loud noise in front, and Jiang Hexing turned his head and ordered his soldiers to stop the carriage and observe at the back of the team for a while.
As soon as the door of the car in front opened, a tall man in black got out of the car. walked to the gate of the barracks, hugged his fists, and said to the soldiers standing guard: "I am Li Yi of Nanyang, and I am from Nanyang with General Wu Han." Please also inform my brother that I have come to visit General Wu Han. ”
The soldier standing guard looked up at this tall young man, and said softly: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, the day before yesterday, Division Commander Wu had an order, now the military affairs are busy, no visitors will be accepted, if there is anything important, I can help you write it down, if there is no important matter, please go back." ”
After this little soldier finished speaking, the big man in black was stunned for a long time, obviously not expecting it. After a long time, he said: "This brother, my family is not far from Master Wu's house, and I came here today, which can be regarded as a visit from the old people, please help spread the word." ”
As he spoke, the big man took a piece of jade from his neck, which was obviously a good jade. Li Yi held the jade in his hand, looked at the young soldier with a smile and said, "Brother, this is our specialty of Nanyang, let's give it to you as a souvenir." ”
The soldier also smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Li, this jade is a good jade, but first, I can't accept it, and second, I won't help you pass it on, the army has its own rules in the army, please don't embarrass me." ”
Li Yi shook his head and sighed: "Hey, this military discipline is really different, my eldest brother really didn't lie to me." ”
Li Yi waved his hand and shouted, "Go back." ”
Li Yi got into the carriage and closed the door. The convoy moved slowly, drew an arc on the road, turned around, and went back the same way. (To be continued.) )
