In June, Zhang Fang was ordered by the Son of Heaven to escort more than 130 men (in charge of the soldiers and subordinates, higher in rank than Yulin), and sent Yelang with the festival. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is also an envoy, Zhang Fang is very different from Zhang Kuang last time. Zhang Kuang's reliance is only a scepter, but Zhang Fang has a strong army that is about to be mobilized.

As early as a month ago, Jincheng County pretended to be Sima Wannian, and led more than 1,200 strong soldiers to arrive in Qike County and take up the post of Captain of Qike. At the same time, Dunhuang, Wuwei, Zhangye and other counties each gathered more than 1,000 troops, passed through Guanlong, stationed in Bashu, and formed a joint attack from east to west with the Qike garrison. Thousands of ships carrying grain are being transported to the two counties. The horses are fierce, and the war clouds are four, pointing directly to the southwest - Qike and Qianwei.

In mid-May, the commander-in-chief of this army composed of 5,000 Hexi soldiers, the new Ke Taishou took office - he was the former Jincheng County Army Sima, Chen Li.

Chen Li, a native of Linqiong, Yizhou, successively served as the county magistrate of Lianran, the commander of Buwei County, the commander of Yufushui Guan, and the military commander of Jincheng County. When Chen Li was the former commander of Buwei County, he had a resolute and decisive style, and the natives were afraid of him at that time. Jincheng County is the forefront of contact between the Han Dynasty and Xianlingqiang, for more than 100 years, there have been many wars between the Han and Qiang, the scale is large, the battle is fierce, second only to the Han-Hungarian war. Zhao Chongguo, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, went down in history because of the battle between Han and Qiang. The strategy he proposed to garrison troops directly gave birth to the Western Regions Protectorate.

Serving as a military commander in this land of iron and blood is the most tempering of people's abilities. For those who are capable, this is the best place for promotion; For those who are incapable, there is no place to bury here.

In the two years since Chen Li served as the Sima of the Jincheng Army, he quelled many Qiang riots, launched four small and medium-sized wars, won each time, and was repeatedly rewarded by the imperial court. He was going to wait for his three-year term to expire and then be transferred to the Northern Military Academy.

And the person who recommended Chen Li to be the military commander of Jincheng County was Zhang Fang.

Zhang Fang saw Chen Li twice, once in Chen Tang's mansion, and Wang Mang was present at that time, to be exact, Chen Li brought Wang Mang here. Another time was when Zhang Fang recommended Chen Li to be the military commander of Jincheng County, and Chen Li came to thank him.

Zhang Fang has two impressions of this person. First, military capability is possible, which is fully recognized by Gan Yanshou. The second is to be upright and not flattering. There are so many powerful children of the Wang family, he doesn't go to cling, but he has a relationship with Wang Mang, a stranger among the children of the Wang family who have a clear name but are poor.

Because there were only two sides, and Zhang Fang was just doing it casually at the time, he didn't put this matter at ease, and he almost forgot about it two years later. So much so that when I really want to use people, I can't even think of it for a while. When Du Qin had no intention of talking about Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang, Zhang Fang suddenly skipped a figure in his mind, and he was about to come out. At this time, the information sent by Ah Li had a name written on the frontispiece: Chen Li.

Coincide with!

Chen Li is the only person who meets all the conditions in the current situation, and the slightly weaker aspect is that Zhang Fang is not very familiar with him. But there are two consecutive recommendations, which is definitely a great favor in the officialdom, and Zhang Fang is very confident in his own knowledge, which is completely reassuring.

This time, Zhang Fang got back into the carriage. From Chang'an to Zhiqilan (now Huangping, Guizhou), this road is high and long, and it takes several months to walk. Of course, Zhang Fang will not be idle, his car is not full of treasured food, but all the information about Yelang and Keke, and he wants to take a good look at this history.

The earliest history of the Central Plains Dynasty and the Southwest Yi can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, and since then, the Qin and Han dynasties have continuously strengthened and developed on this basis.

The Han Dynasty first knew about Yelang and established diplomatic relations with him in the sixth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty (135 BC), when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Tang Meng into Yelang to appease the bamboo king Duotong. This bamboo king Duotong is the guy who asked Lieutenant General Tang Meng of Hanlang "Who is the big Han and me", so that the idiom of "Yelang arrogance" was passed down.

Tang Meng generously rewarded Duotong, and at the same time told him the stakes, and made an appointment to appoint officials to Yelang, and let his son hold the equivalent of a prefectural order. Duotong coveted the silk of the Han Dynasty, believing that the road for the Han Dynasty army to come here was difficult and dangerous, and it was impossible to really occupy this land, and it was cost-effective to exchange nominal submission for benefits, so he accepted the alliance with Tang Meng.

Tang Meng replied to the imperial court, and the area where Yelang and the surrounding small states lived as Qianwei County, under the jurisdiction of the southern governor. Han's operation of Southwest Yi began from there.

In the sixth year of Yuanguang (129 BC), the Han Dynasty set up a post station in the Southwest Yi region to facilitate transportation. In the same year, Sima Xiangru and others were sent to Xuanfu. In the fifth year of Yuan Ding (112 years ago), Emperor Wu conquered Nanyue, because Yelang and others did not listen to the dispatch, he sent troops to pacify most of the southwest Yi in the following year, and set up more than ten counties such as Ke County and Yelang in its place, and at the same time temporarily stored the name of Yelang country, and awarded Yelang Wang with the title of Wang, and the tribal chieftains were also canonized.

After the establishment of the central power, the next step is to open up convenient channels to strengthen the central control. But after several years, the road was not opened, and the soldiers who opened the road were hungry and tired, and the smoke and plague were innumerable. In addition, there were many rebellions in the southwest of Yi, and troops were mobilized to attack, which consumed financial resources and achieved little success.

Gongsun Hong, the imperial historian of Emperor Wu, thought that the opening of the Southwest Yi was harmful and unhelpful, and thought that it could be stopped for the time being, so as to concentrate on dealing with the Xiongnu. Emperor Wu agreed to his suggestion, revoked the officials appointed in Xiyi, and only set up two counties and one governor in Nanyi, so that Qianwei County could protect itself and gradually complete its county system. It was this policy of retreat that weakened the central Han Dynasty's control over the southwestern Yi and led to a series of rebellions.

The South Vietnamese rebelled and became a soldier of the South Army. And Lan Jun was afraid of traveling far away, and the other countries kidnapped his old and weak, but he rebelled against his people, killing the envoy and Qianwei Taishou. Han Naifa sent the sinners of Bashu to break it with the eighth captain, so that Lan was the ruler of Ke County.

In the first year of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty (86 BC), the natives of Liantou and Guzhen in Yizhou rebelled and killed the chief. More than 30,000 people responded to the rebellion in 24 cities, including Qike, Tanzhi, and Tonghe. The imperial court sent Shui Heng Du Wei to recruit more than 10,000 soldiers from Shu County and Qianwei County to suppress and quell the rebellion.

Three years later, the Guyu and Yeyu regions rebelled again, and the imperial court sent Lu Pihu, the commander of Shui Heng, to lead the county soldiers to quell the rebellion. However, Lü Pihu Yi missed the fighter plane, and ordered the Xiyi rebellion army to kill the Yizhou Taishou, and took advantage of the victory to fight against the Han army, and more than 4,000 soldiers were drowned due to the battle.

Such a humiliating result, of course, the Han Dynasty could not accept. In the second year, he sent Junzheng Wang Ping to attack with Dahonglu Tian Guangming and others, and defeated the Yizhou people, beheaded and captured more than 50,000 people, and obtained more than 100,000 livestock, poultry and beasts.

In this battle, the lured Jumachi Marquis led his subordinate Yiju Marshal to counterattack the rebels, beheaded and captured meritorious, and was named the king of Jumachi.

However, only a year later, the Wudu people rebelled again, and the Han Dynasty sent the ruling Jin Wu Ma Shijian, the Long'e Marquis Han Zeng and the Great Honglu Tian Guangming to lead troops to quell the rebellion......

When Zhang Fang saw this, he only shook his head. This place really has a bit of the "Balkan" flavor of later generations, and fires break out at every turn, and the imperial court is tired of fighting fires. This time, since he came, he had to do everything he could to extinguish the source of the fire......

When he was distracted, Han Chong's voice came from outside the car, reporting an explosive news: "Childe, someone has mixed into the team of the menmen......

Zhang was surprised: "Who is it?" What is the purpose? ”

Han Chong's reaction was a little strange, and he waited for a long time before he said, "Childe, take a look at yourself......"

Zhang Fang's curiosity was aroused, and he lifted the curtain, and sure enough, he saw a thin young man wearing the costume of a period priest hanging his head beside Han Chong.

Although he didn't see the other party's face clearly, Zhang Anxin suddenly had a familiar feeling.

"You, look up."

The boy shuddered, hesitated, seemed to grit his teeth, and slowly raised his head.

As far as the eye could see, Zhang Fang's expression could only be described as stunned: "Yes...... You! (To be continued.) )
