Chapter 160: The Second Year of the Sacred Calendar (I) 5/5
Time flies, winter goes to spring.
The arrival of an ice rain indicates that the harsh winter has passed. Unconsciously, the second year of the holy calendar quietly entered people's lives.
Last year's turmoil made Hebei Province particularly depressed.
Now, although the Turks have retreated to Saibei, the damage to Hebei Province cannot be erased.
Between August and mid-September, more than 100,000 Turks were displaced in a month, of whom more than 20,000 died.
When Mo Si withdrew, he plundered nearly 30,000 people.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ice and rain were dripping, and in the Governor's Mansion in Jixian County, Zhang Renyan was sitting in his study, flipping through a war report.
At this time, the Central Plains has been rejuvenated.
However, in the Youzhou area, the weather is still cold and the temperature is cold.
The rain carried fine beads of ice and crackled on the window edges.
There is a brazier in the room, and the charcoal fire is blazing, which makes people feel a little warm. Zhang Rengan was wearing a black fur robe, suddenly put down the battle report in his hand, got up and walked to the door, and shouted in a deep voice: "Go and call Boyu." ”
After saying that, he suddenly came to his senses again.
Chen Ziang had left Youzhou not long ago and turned around.
This time, he returned to Shendu and will resign and return to his hometown. Nominally, he wanted to keep filial piety to his father. But in fact, it was because he offended the powerful people in the DPRK and China that he had to resign and go home. Once gone, I don't know when we will be able to meet again.
Zhang Renqing is a general who Wu Zetian single-handedly raised, and he is even trusted by Wu Zetian.
In the early years. He won the title of champion with the first name of the third martial arts. thus entering Wu Zetian's field of vision. He was lucky, too. Soon after winning the martial champion. encountered wars one after another, was promoted step by step, and was reused by Wu Zetian.
In contrast, the first martial arts champion is half a thousand, and due to personality reasons, he is now a bachelor in Hongwenguan, teaching and educating people; Sun Siguan, the champion of the second branch of martial arts, is reckless because of his personality. offended Wu Chenghe, so that he was cut to the people, and his whereabouts are unknown.
Three martial arts, only he can be regarded as a standout.
Even later, when he was a supervisor in the Tula army, because of discord with Xia Guanshangshu Wang Xiaojie, he sent someone to complain to Wu Zetian. This was originally a battle with an extremely obvious victory, but the result was that Wang Xiaojie was deposed, and Zhang Renqing was promoted to the rank of servant. Subsequently, Zhang Renqing participated in Sun Chengjing, and then served as the governor of Youzhou.
Many even think. Zhang Rengan and Wu Zetian must be related.
But Zhang Renqing knew in his heart that the reason why he was trusted by Wu Zetian. It's because he has no background in the court.
Zhang Rengan, who was born in a civilian, is not as good as those noble queens.
He did not have any foundation in the court, so it was easier to gain Wu Zetian's trust, and later he reached the extreme of grace.
In the first battle of Wuhuiling last year, Zhang Renjie blocked the silent sip for three days, so that Di Renjie was able to reorganize his troops and horses and pursue from behind. Although he was finally broken through by Mo Si's troops, for Zhang Renqing, he had successfully completed the task.
It's just that he also lacks a trustworthy partner.
He had already persuaded Chen Ziang that he should be loyal to Wu Zetian and not get too close to King Wu Sansi of Liang.
It's a pity that Chen Ziang didn't listen to his persuasion, and offended King Liang this time, it is conceivable that Chen Ziang will have a hard time in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhang Renyan took a mouthful.
He shook his head, adjusted his emotions, and said to his relatives: "Please come over." ”
"Yes."
The servant hurriedly agreed and hurried away.
Zhang Rengan returned to the room, sat down at the table, picked up the battle report again, and read it carefully, frowning.
Outside, footsteps rang out.
A sturdy man came in from outside, bowed down and said, "When will the governor call Guan Hu to come?" ”
Guan Hu, it turned out to be Guan Hu!
He was originally just a squad leader in the yamen, how did he turn into a long history of the seven products in the Youzhou Governor's Mansion?
Zhang Rengan put down the battle report and smiled kindly.
"Tiger, are you still used to this governor's mansion?"
Guan Hu smiled shyly: "Zhang Dudu said that he laughed, the humble post was originally just an unpopular arrest team leader, but now it has become a long history of Zhengqipin, I don't know how many people are envious." Even if you are not used to it, you must get used to it. ”
Zhang Renyan heard this and laughed.
"At the end of the day, I'm still not used to it."
Guan Hu scratched his head and said softly: "I have been the head of the team, and it has become a habit to come and go in the wind and rain every day, and deal with those outlaws. Now sitting in the class room all day long and directing others, this heart is a little weird after all. ”
"That's okay, just get used to it." As Zhang Rengan spoke, he motioned for Guan Hu to sit down.
"Speaking of which, you're much older than I am.
Although he did not get high school, he was favored by the sage and introduced into Luantai. I was also shocked when I first found out who you were. Thanks to your dignified management of the tiger, you can endure loneliness and have been a poor person in this county for so many years. But it can be regarded as bitter and sweet, although Sun Siguan won the champion at the beginning, is it not that his whereabouts are unknown, and he does not know his life and death?
You have entered the eyes of the saints, and your future is very bright. ”
Guan Hu seemed to be a little distracted, and sat there for a long time without speaking.
After a while, he seemed to react, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Siguan has a good background, has a reckless temperament, and can't stand being wronged." I'm used to being a snacking, so what's the matter? By the way, the Governor brought me here, do you have any instructions? ”
As if he had just remembered, Zhang Renyan slapped his forehead and handed the battle report on the table to Guan Hu.
"Tiger, have you read this information?"
Guan Hu took it and glanced at it, and nodded lightly, "I've seen it, and I've asked someone to confirm the news." The above is true, according to the detailed report, in early December last year, Murong Xuanwei was attacked by two assassins on his way back to the camp from King Xi's tent, and then captured by the assassins. At that time, the whole Rao Le was very shaken, and Li Dayu also sent soldiers and horses to assist in the search...... About twelve days later, on December 19, Murong Xuanwei's body was found in a cave.
However, there was water in the cave, which made the temperature in the cave very high.
When the body was found, it had begun to decompose and was almost unrecognizable. Later, Murong Xuanwei's servant found a birthmark shaped like a black cloud on the corpse, and confirmed that the corpse was Murong Xuanwei's corpse. ”
After Guan Hu finished speaking, he picked up the water cup from the table and drank it all.
But when he finished drinking the water, he realized that he was no longer in Changping, and the person sitting across from him was not the unruly Yang Chenglie.
For a while, Guan Hu looked a little embarrassed.
Zhang Renyan didn't care, but urged: "Go on." ”
"After Murong Xuanwei's accident, his subordinates also began to flee.
Li Dayu sent people to receive part of the defeated troops, and also accepted those rebellious people, and it is said that he was ready to continue Murong Xuanwei's strategy and build a city in the local area. Murong Xuanxuan calculated in a thousand ways, I am afraid that he would not have thought that in the end, Li Dayu was cheaper. (To be continued......)
