Chapter 63: The chaotic Qianghu, the great change of Luoyang
At the edge of the desert, a cloud's military advisor led the personnel to pick up the return of the black cloud, which was the letter that the black cloud sent back to report in advance. There were also Gao Shun and others who came with them, seeing Chen Lin Gao Shun hurriedly came to visit, the military advisor looked at Heiyun and the others driving Hei to suppress a group of sheep, and there were a lot of horses, and their sharp faces were round and couldn't believe it, and said to Heiyun: "Big leader, this, there are 30,000 fat sheep here, right?" Black Cloud laughed: "Why don't you count?" After saying that, all the horse thieves laughed wildly.
Finally, Heiyun came over to Chen Lin: "Lord Chen, thank you for this trip, if it weren't for the adults playing those tricks to confuse the Hu people, I'm afraid it would be so easy to return to the desert, and there are so many goods, hahaha." A certain black cloud has always been a good talker, Lord Chen can leave on his own, hahaha, a certain gift to the adult 100 good horses, if we meet in the future, we have to rely on the adult. Come on, give Master Chen a hundred good horses and pick a good one. ”
Chen Lin smiled slightly, no wonder Heiyun can mix well in this place, a hundred good horses, Gao Shun and the others are all happy. Watching the horse thieves gradually disappear into the desert and slowly drive the sheep in, Chen Lin sighed, how many heroes are there in the world. Chen Lin shouted: "Go", there were twenty-three people when they came, and now they have lost three people, a total of twenty people went south with the horses sent by Heiyun, and went to the west of Qiangqu Danyu, Chen Lin didn't dare to go to Baiyong's side. Within a day, he met the tribe of the Hu people, and when the Hu people saw Chen Lin coming from the north, they thought it was a horse thief. Chen Lin revealed his identity to the Hu people, saying that it was the Han army that exterminated the horse thieves and got so many good horses, which aroused the admiration of the Hu people.
Chen Lin still has to go to Shan Yubu, he wants to find Zhang Cheng, Huang Yan should turn around. Sure enough, when they heard that a group of Han people had returned from the north to kill many horse thieves, Huang Yan and Zhang Cheng hurriedly came out, expecting that it was Chen Lin. And Zhang Cheng knew what was happening in the south of the Xiongnu these days, and when he saw Chen Lin's return, he knew in his heart that these cases must have been done by Chen Lin and the horse thieves, but Zhang Cheng didn't expect that Chen Lin and the horse thieves were so bold that they dared to bypass Shan Yubu and go to the south.
Chen Lin saw Huang Yan's tall body from a distance, and said to Zhou Cang, "Huang Yan is back." Huang Yan still came back with five people, and hurriedly visited Chen Lin, Chen Lin saw that it was not the place to speak, and hurriedly signaled to Zhang Cheng. Chen Lin: "Lord Zhang, are you okay?" Chen Lin said with a smile on his face. Zhang Cheng was also happy: "Lord Chen, the horse thieves are doing a good job, hahahahaha." Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, and then knew that Zhang Cheng had guessed everything, and he also laughed, and the two of them entered the big tent hand in hand, ordering no one to approach.
Chen Lin: "Master Zhang, did you guess? Zhang Cheng laughed: "The Hu people are in a mess, and they don't know the key, they were deceived, and the lower officials discussed with the adults in advance, how can I not know, but I didn't think that the adult's trip was a big trouble." Chen Lin was so surprised that he wanted to stand up and said, "Oh? Mr. Zhang said let's hear it. ”
Zhang Cheng: "I don't know what chance Lord Chen has to go to the desert, now not only the dead Huns in the south are in chaos, but even the Qiang people are involved." Many Xiongnu tribes were slaughtered cleanly, some supported Qiangqu, some supported Baiyong, and some wavered. Qiang Qu insisted that it was Bai Yong's hand on him, but he didn't know that Bai Yong was also average, and it was said that it was done by the Qiang people, and they quarreled together, and slowly the Hu people and the Qiang people didn't seriously investigate the matter, as long as they met, they were swords facing each other. ”
When Chen Lin heard this, wasn't this exactly what he originally wished? With joy in his heart, he asked again: "How are Qiang Qu and Bai Yong now?" Zhang Cheng: "These two people are already officially mobilizing sword soldiers, Bai Yong doesn't know, only that Qiangqu has gathered no less than 40,000 cavalry troops. The part of the Hu people who were originally wavering, now many of them have made choices, and the rest may be soon. There is no battle between Qiangqu and Baiyong, and there are constant small battles. The Qiang people in the south have now gathered more than 6,000 soldiers and horses, which are placed between the Qiang tribe and the Hu people, claiming that the Hu people's internal strife cannot affect the Qiang people, but for some reason there are suddenly many more horses and sheep in the Qiang tribe, and the Huns also suspect that those tragedies were done by the Qiang people, so they are willing to give up easily. There are a large number of sheep in this Qiang tribe, and Lord Chen is afraid that he knows better than anyone else. After speaking, he looked at Chen Lin with a wicked smile.
After hearing this, Chen Lin laughed: "My lord is going to tell the truth, haha." Chen Lin actually made Zhang Cheng funny, causing Zhang Cheng to laugh and scold, and Zhou Cang and the others, who were guarding outside, heard a burst of laughter coming from the big tent from time to time.
Chen Lin returned to his big tent and called Huang Yan: "Huang Yan, tell me about the Jingshi." "Before, Chen Lin made up his mind to mess with Hu, so he ordered Huang Yan to return to Luoyang in person, hoping that Yang Ci would say that Emperor Lingling had decreed that he had cut off his aid to the Southern Xiongnu, and that he was the captain of the division and the captain Cao was engaged in the matter of delaying his return.
Huang Yan: "Young Master, there have been great changes in Luoyang. Chen Lin hurriedly put down the milk tea cup, looked at Huang Yan, and saw Huang Yan's solemn face, Chen Lin couldn't help but feel anxious, and he didn't know what was going on. Huang Yan said: "Since the eldest young master captured Wang Ji in Peiguo, and with the help of Lord Jingzhao Yin Zhang, Lord Yang of Sili School arrested Wang Fu and tortured him personally, Wang Fu and his son are dead, Lord Taiwei Duan was also arrested and imprisoned, and he was afraid of Lord Yang's severe punishment in prison, and committed suicide, Lord Yang was about to start handling Cao Jie, but Cao Jie said that His Majesty was moved, and actually moved Lord Yang to Wei Wei, Lord Yang was not allowed to continue to track down Cao Jie, and he was unwilling to conspire with Lord Shangshu Liu, Lord Situ, Lord Chen of Yongle Shaofu and others, Unexpectedly, Cao Jie accused Lord Yang and others of rebellion, and was executed by His Majesty. ”
Chen Lin: "What? Jumping up in shock, the guards outside the tent hurriedly rushed in with knives, and Chen Lin waved his hand to signal that it was okay. Chen Lin was really shocked in his heart, Yang Qiu was dead, Duan Ying was also dead, and there were many more, but Chen Lin didn't know him, they must all be loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. Chen Lin hurriedly asked Huang Yan: "Go on"
Huang Yan: "Now the positions of the three princes in the court have been changed, and the court has sent a new Xiongnu lieutenant general, who is already on the way, but not as fast as Huang Yan." The eldest young master said that he would cut off the assistance of the Southern Huns, but His Majesty approved it, and the new lieutenant Si Li is the country's relatives Liu Yu, Liu Bo'an, and Lord Liu, and he wants the eldest young master to return within a month. "Emperor Ling was originally a greedy person, the ancestors set to give so much money and goods to the Southern Xiongnu every year, he was also heartbroken, now seeing Yang Ci playing Chen Lin's plan, he hurriedly agreed, and left a large sum for himself, at that time in the hall praised Chen Lin: "Chen Aiqing is loyal and hardworking, Yang Aiqing is a good disciple of Yang Aiqing." As for Liu Yu's appointment as the lieutenant of Sili, it is the credit of Cao Jie, Cao Jie was afraid that the new lieutenant of Sili would still be like a yang ball, chasing after him, so he recommended Liu Yu, who is known for his Huairou, as the lieutenant of Sili.
In the end, Huang Yan also said that Yang Ci also wanted Chen Lin to return to Luoyang as soon as possible, so as not to be tongued by the eunuchs, you must know that Chen Lin's capture of Wang Ji in Peiguo scared many eunuchs, and he was afraid that Chen Lin would be like a yang ball, if Chen Lin did not return to Luoyang, the eunuchs would use this as an excuse to transfer Chen Lin from the position of Sili Lieutenant Cao to this position.
Chen Lin thought for a while and asked Huang Yan: "Huang Yan, in your opinion, is it time to go back?" Huang Yan thought for a moment: "Young Master, didn't you come here because of this Qianghu thing, and now the new Xiongnu Zhonglang General is also coming, Qianghu is also in chaos, and Luoyang has suffered this big change, Huang Yan thinks it's better to go back as soon as possible." ”
Chen Lin raised his head and sighed: "I didn't expect Lord Yang to go like this, Cao Jie, it's okay to go back, it's okay to go back." Speaking of Cao Jie's name, Chen Lin secretly hated in his heart. Chen Lin also couldn't imagine that it was time to return to Luoyang after escorting Cai Yong for so long.
Chen Lin said goodbye to Zhang Cheng, and his party returned to the south of the Han Dynasty, and walked to Luoyang, and on the way I heard that the new Xiongnu Zhonglang General turned out to be the original captain of the Western Regions, Dong Zhongying and Dong Zhuo. What Chen Lin didn't expect was that although Dong Zhuo did not make much contribution to the Southern Xiongnu affairs on this trip, he unexpectedly subdued the 20,000 or 30,000 Qiang people because of the prestige he broke through during the suppression of the Xiqiang in the Western Regions, and he had to be accompanied by thousands of elite horsemen, until Dong Zhuo suppressed the Yellow Turban Uprising and was defeated, and these thousands of Qiang horses were destroyed.
Chen Lin went all the way south, returned to Sili from Beidi County, and went straight to Luoyang from the west without delay. Chen Lin arranged for the guards to bring the horses back to Anyang County directly, it was useless to stay, a hundred good horses, high-quality Hun horses, even Chen Lin's uncle's caravan was extremely difficult to find such a good horse in Youzhou and others, plus the seventy horses brought back by the previous Tuo Fang Yue Gang, this trip to Shuofang, Chen Lin can be said to have gained a lot.
When Chen Lin returned to Luoyang, he originally wanted to worship Yang Qiu before, but when he learned that Yang Qiu was transported back to his hometown Yuyang for burial, he had to turn around to see his mentor Yang Ci. Yang Ci's beard was a little more white, and the master and apprentice actually talked for an afternoon, Chen Lin told Yang Ci about this trip, especially the Southern Xiongnu, and heard Yang Ci talk about Luoyang, although he heard Huang Yan say a rough idea, at this time Yang Ci said again, and it was much more detailed, which caused Chen Lin to sigh again.
Chen Lin sighed: "Lord Yang and others, as eunuchs, can be regarded as a well-deserved death. Yang Ci smiled miserably, and Chen Lin exclaimed: "Why is the teacher laughing? Chen Lin knew that Yang Ci was not the kind of person who fell into the ground. Yang Ci smiled miserably again: "Bozhi, this big man ......" was about to cry when he said it, but he couldn't speak.
Chen Lin was worried about his teacher, so he hurriedly stepped forward to arm his back, and after a while, Yang Ci said: "Bo Zhi didn't know that the ministers of the court and the central government worked hard to kill Wang Fu, but as a teacher, he found that His Majesty turned to favor the newly promoted little eunuchs, such as Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong and others, who are getting heavier and heavier, I'm afraid that Lord Yang and others are not worth dying, hahaha, Wang Fu is dead, and he has to make a Zhang let Zhao Zhong, it's not worth it." Yang Ci said as he stumbled and walked towards the inner room, his rickety back looked endlessly desolate.
