Chapter 955: Afterword
Yang Yan woke up from the nightmare, the cold moonlight sprinkled all over the courtyard like mercury, and the moonlight was so cold and silent. >
He just had a dream, dreaming of a sea of swords and fire, and the soldiers were dying. Groups of soldiers with white "wool" scarves tied to their arms saw them in the city of Nanzheng in Hanzhong and set fires everywhere
He gasped for breath, his chest was extremely tight, and he felt that there seemed to be no air in his chest, and he was suffocating as if he was about to pass out at any moment.
"Gross-"
Yang Jun pulled the collar with both hands, kneeling there like a lost wild dog, vomiting over and over again, but he couldn't vomit anything, and his whole face was swollen and tight, and his face was full of tears and snot. [
After a long time, he finally recovered and lay on the straw pile on the ground, his eyes rolled white and dazed like dead fish eyes.
It wasn't a dream, everything in the sleep was just a fragment of the memories of the previous encounter. The real scene made him feel more desperate than in the dream. He still clearly remembers that when he took his 100,000 horses and Shen Luoyan's 50,000 horses put together all the way to hurry, he just rushed to Nanzheng Cheng in Hanzhong to temporarily camp and rest. That time, he received the military information sent by Pei Renji, saying that he had crossed the Sanguan, the whole army had passed Chencang, and Yongxian County of Fufeng was able to catch Changwu and Yuwen Chengdu after two ri.
He was very happy to receive the news, and also set up a banquet with Shen Luoyan and the Turkic envoy Dou Hongxian to drink a few glasses, and finally fell asleep slightly drunk.
But in the middle of the night, he was exclaimed by the shouts of killing and all kinds of screams everywhere. With the help of his guards, he was able to put on his armor, and a group of soldiers with white scarves on their arms had already entered his makeshift camp.
did not take care of his identity as the Great Sui Emperor, and greeted them with only shining horizontal knives and spears.
The guards resisted desperately, but they only lasted for an hour. And then, he became a prisoner!
When he was young, he met his allies Shen Luoyan and Dou Hongxian in a house that was still intact, and in addition to these two allies, there were also his marshals Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu. In addition to these two old marshals, he also saw Marshal Dong Chun and Marshal Yang Yichen, but what he saw was two corpses covered with scars. The two loyal and righteous old men of the Great Sui died in such a vain.
Finally, he also met with another marshal: Bae Renji.
Pei Renji's blood-stained robe came with a sword in hand, but what touched Yang Yan's eyes even more was a white "hair" scarf tied around Pei Renji's arm. Not only is he tied, but his two sons Pei Xingyan and Pei Xingjian are also tied.
The first thing Pei Renji said was, "Please surrender to Da Chen!" ”
Everything is understood, and Pei Renji, who has always relied on him as the thousand cities of the country, has surrendered to thieves. They didn't pass the pass at all, let alone in Fufeng Yongxian County, they didn't know when they killed a horse gun, raided their temporary station of Bailao in Nanzheng City, and defeated the 150,000 coalition troops.
"How did you sneak into the city?" Yang Jun didn't understand this the most, although their alliance with the Wu army claimed to be 500,000, and in fact there were 150,000, but he also knew in his heart that most of the 50,000 troops in Eastern Wu were actually mud legs who had just washed their feet and landed on the shore, and only a few thousand of them were veterans. And of his 100,000 horses, only thirty percent are veterans, the remaining half are Yang Hao's soldiers, and half are newly recruited soldiers.
can be counted as such, this is also more than 100,000 into the o, not to mention that Nanzheng is a big city, how did they kill it? is counted as a soldier, but several old handsomes around him are all first-class marshals, and they are not much different from famous marshals.
Pei Renji's face twitched, and he said lightly: "Actually, a lot of people don't want to fight anymore, and around Your Majesty, except for a few marshals who are loyal, most of the brothers actually don't want to fight." Especially His Majesty's Praetorian Guard, they are even more so, and most of those brothers are from Luoyang. The brothers all wanted to go home, and they didn't want to drift alone in Nanban, and finally die in a foreign land. Emperor Da Chen made a decree to promise them, if they were anyway, not only would they not be guilty of the past, but they would also be regarded as meritorious people. ”
"What do you want to do with me? Are you going to kill me? "At this point, Yang Jian also understood that it was the soldiers in the city who secretly demoted Chen, and there were definitely a lot of them. It's a pity that he didn't notice it in advance, which led to this defeat. It's a pity that the most difficult son in Han also survived, but he didn't think that in the end, he would suddenly fall off the horse when he was at the peak of his hegemony.
"Emperor Da Chen has already made a will, he wants to invite you to Luoyang, and His Majesty will return it, and he will ensure that you will be rich for a lifetime. Of course, the premise is that you can't have any more crooked thoughts. Pei Renji "exposed" a mouth full of white teeth, and smiled.
Yang Jun sneered: "I'm afraid Chen Pojun wants to borrow my hand to help him recruit this 1ri department of Bahan Shu, so that I can present this great country, right?" ”
Pei Xingjian on the side sneered a few times.
"What are you laughing at, is there something wrong with me?" [
Yang Jun still remembered that Pei Xingyan didn't answer him at that time, but there was a little sneer in his eyes.
It's a joke, I vaguely remember that it was so, but time passed quickly, it was more than half a year ago, as if I remembered it like that.
Now that I think about it, it really should be that.
Half a year is just a flick of a finger, but in this half a year, too many things have happened.
Not long after Pei Renji, a traitor, surrendered to Chen and returned to the army to attack Nanzheng and capture him, Lu Shishen, who was stationed in Jiangling and Badong, had already marched up the river with 20,000 troops. The 20,000 Chen troops were like bamboos all the way, like entering the realm of no entry. In the first battle of Nanzheng, several generalissimos of the Great Sui State were either killed or captured, and there were no more reliable generals in the rear. In the face of Chen's army, the remaining Xiangguo Pei Yun and Su Wei did not have the slightest resistance at all, and issued an early document announcing their return to Da Chen.
Within half a year, Lu Shishen only entered the horse with 20,000 yuan, and swept away such a huge territory as Ba, Han, and Shu.
At the same time, Marshal Li Benlei and Marshal Qu Tutong, who were stationed in Jiangdong, also raised 20,000 troops, went up the Yangtze River, and broke through Jiangxia in one fell swoop. Then, within half a year, the troops were divided into various ways and pressed the counties of Jianghan.
Two months ago, Chen Kefu and Pei Renji returned to Guanzhong with their troops and went straight to the north. Chen Kefu and Pei Renji's 80,000 soldiers and horses converged with Chen Kedi's and Chen Mingshu's 100,000 soldiers and horses, and fought a decisive battle with Yu Wenhua, who had run out of food, in Changwu City.
The two sides fought more than 30 battles, and after nearly a month of fierce fighting, Yuwen Chengdu suffered heavy losses, but they insisted on not surrendering. In the end, Chen Kefu sent a messenger into Chang'an City, and finally obeyed Yu Wenhua and surrendered to obedience. Yu culture and the great opening of the gates of Chang'an, the opening of the city and surrender. Subsequently, Yu Wenhua, who was named the Marquis of Anshun, personally recruited Yuwen Chengdu. Yuwen Chengdu finally led the remaining more than 70,000 troops to surrender.
A month ago, Li Rail, the only one in Hexi who had not yet been pacified, also launched a decisive battle with the Tuyuhun tribes who were actively recovering the country, and finally Li Rail won the victory at an extremely tragic price. But this victory was too tragic, and after that battle, the Jing Rui in Li Liang's hands was completely lost, and it was difficult to maintain the territory of the Hexi counties. Finally, under the persuasion of Chen Kefu's envoys, he led his troops to return to Shun in Hexi. Chen Kedi then led 50,000 Jing Rui Chen troops into Hexi and took over the counties of Hexi. Li Liang and his subordinates moved to Luoyang.
With the return of Li Liang, the situation of the four-way division since the end of the Sui Dynasty finally ended, and the Central Plains was reunified.
At this time, the war between the north and the Turks also lasted for nearly half a year.
The Turkic invasion of the four lines of soldiers and horses, the first way to attack Dingxiang Dali was unfavorable many times, but was defeated by the Nine-Nation Alliance several times, and finally fell into the coalition army's plan to lure the enemy. The mud and grass of the general led the army to grab the grain and grass of the coalition army, and as a result, they were ambushed, and the Youzhou iron cavalry led by Luo Yi's father and son broke through the Turkic cavalry formation in one fell swoop, and generals Wang Rengong, Qin Qiong, Cheng Bingjin, Daniel Zhang, and Wei Chigong led tens of thousands of light cavalry to then kill out, driving the Turks into an ambush circle set by Xue Dingguo's uncle and nephew.
In the end, the grain and grass will be exhausted, and the war horses will be killed for food, and the blood of the horses will be satisfied. In the end, the horse's blood was drunk, and the mud, which had long been cut off from the water, finally surrendered to the coalition forces.
And Mo Ruodu's troops, who swept the "sweeping" of Ma Yi and attacked the Flying Fox, went very smoothly at the beginning, destroying all the cities on the first line of the Sangqian River. Under the successive victories, Mo Helu gradually weakened the enemy. Mo Helu led the whole army to march towards the Flying Fox, preparing to attack Hebei in one fell swoop. In the 120-mile-long Flying Fox Pass Gorge, the old marshal Luo Zhong led 30,000 soldiers and horses to defeat by deception, defeating thirteen formations in a row, resisting step by step, and retreating step by step. Finally, after holding out for half a month, he finally retreated to the exit of the canyon.
At this time, Mo Hedu's army was already completely in the canyon. Mo Hexuan attacked fiercely, wanting to open the passage and enter Hebei in one fell swoop. However, Luo Zhong's defenders were holding on to the Black Stone Ridge Fort at this time, like a rock.
Half a month later, Wang Rengong, Luo Yi, Xue Dingguo, and Yu Qinming defeated Tong'e, "forced" 20,000 Turkic troops, and returned victorious. The coalition forces followed the Sangqian River and drove Feihukou all the way, and finally successfully blocked Mo Hedu in the Grand Canyon more than 100 miles long.
Mo Helu only realized that he had been fooled at this time, but he wanted to break through but it was no longer possible, the Flying Fox Mouth Canyon was more than 100 miles deep, the canyon was no more than ten zhang wide, and there were straight cliffs on both sides, and there was no way to escape. The Chen army only defended but did not attack, and the Turkic invasion could only attack the Lingbao fortress of the Chen army again and again. However, in the face of the Turkic invasion of the decisive charge, the red-coated cannon that Chen Jun had begun to arrange a year earlier finally showed its might.
In the face of the red-coated cannons, the Turks fell into despair, rout, and surrender! However, Luo Yi, who accepted the surrender of the Turks, immediately ordered the slaughter of more than 20,000 Turkic surrendered troops. The blood of 50,000 Turks completely stained the mouth of the flying fox.
The other two Turkic armies attacked the three cities of Loufu Pass, Xicheng Pass, and Tuguan, but they were in vain in the same foreign war. In the face of Chen's army's countless red-coated cannons all over the top of the city, the Turkic army couldn't even get close to the city. The assault on March left behind countless corpses piled up and bleeding like a river.
When the news of the annihilation of the other two Turkic armies came, the grain and grass of the Turks were approaching, and they crossed the Jinshan from the Western Regions to the Eastern Turkic steppe, and then to the east of the river, and the Turks had been away from home for nearly two years. Many soldiers asked to return to the grassland, and at this time, Mou Tingjia also began to propose to Tong Yehu to return to the division. If you use the words of the scheming and assassination, it is this battle, and it is a victory without victory. On the surface, the Turks were defeated and defeated, and their losses were hundreds of thousands, and it is estimated that they will not be able to recover in 20 years. But in fact, in addition to the death of Yili Khan and Yanye, it is a pity that the three Khans of Tong'e, Ni and Mohelu in the back are either killed or captured, and their White Spoon tribal army is also finished. In fact, this is a great thing for Tongye to protect. In this way, the hostile forces of the Blade Protector are gone, and the Blade Protector is the real master of the grassland.
In October, Tong Yehu accepted the proposal of the assassin and sent an envoy to Li Jing to ask for permission to return to the Western Regions. [
In November, he entered Luoyang and paid tribute.
In December, Chen Kefu went to Yanmen and allied with Tongye Protector. After an agreement, an agreement was finally reached.
Since then, the Turks have been subordinate to Da Chen, and since then they have been the Great Chen Fan State forever, and the Turkic Khan has accepted the canonization of the Great Chen Emperor and was canonized as the Duke of Da Chen Jin. It was also agreed that the death of the Turkic Khan must be reported to the Great Chen court. The new Turkic khan succeeded to the throne and must be reported to Da Chen, and the Great Chen Emperor canonized him. Moreover, from then on, the Turks had to pay tribute to Dachen every year as agreed, offering 10,000 cattle and horses and 100,000 sheep. In addition, the Turkic generations had to pay tribute to Da Chen and his relatives.
The two sides agreed that the Turks were bounded by the Jinshan Mountains, the west of the Jinshan Mountains was the Turks, and the east was owned by Dachen.
In the sixth year of Shenlong, Tong Yehu led 180,000 Turkic troops to return to the Western Regions. Dachen redivided the prairie east of Jinshan, dividing the entire prairie territory with the five families of Tiele, Xi, Xi, Khitan, and Dachen, while the six families of Silla, Baekje, Dongying, Dachen, Funan, and Jin Ya divided all the entrances, livestock, and wealth of the entire grassland.
In the seventh year of Shenlong, Chen Kefu summoned all countries into the court, and each country was Chen Kefu and called the Khan.
Chen Kefu issued an edict to canonize the kings of various countries as the Grand Chen Guogong, and under the kings of each country, they canonized more than a dozen dozens of county dukes ranging from 100 to 100 to divide their countries. In the Western Turkic steppe, Chen Ke Fuce was crowned as the Khan of the North, and he was canonized as the Khan of the South. In the same year, he also planned to restore the kings of the Western Regions and divide the 36 countries of the Western Regions.
In the eighth year of Shenlong, the Central Plains Dading, the Quartet was pacified, the Unai Qingping, the grain was harvested, and the Jingshi Dou rice was only two pennies, Chen Kefu ordered the imperial court to purchase rice and grain at a higher price and hoard the granaries in various places to prepare for the famine year.
In March, Chen Kefu issued an edict to take Luoyang as Zhongjing, Taiyuan as Shangjing, Jicheng as Běi Jing, Liaoyang as Tokyo, Jiankang as Nanjing, Chang'an as Xijing, and Chengdu as Yuanjing. Qijing is a province of Zhili, in fact, all parts are divided into 38 provinces, a total of 45 provinces.
In the ninth year of Shenlong, Chen Kefu ordered the troops to be sold, cast the troops into plows, and the horses to be released in Nanshan. Chen Kefu summoned all the civil and military generals above the third rank in Luoyang and gave a banquet to the ministers. At the banquet, Chen Kefu rewarded the generals with land estates outside the Guan, and gave them gold and silver.
At the banquet, Chen Kefu held the gold bottle in his hand and said to Luo Yi, Qu Tutong, Yu Qinming and other generals: "If I don't have you, I can't be the emperor." Although I am a young child, I am not as happy as you. Although I am now unified, I have never slept well. ”
These words shocked the generals and commanders: "Why is Your Majesty like this, now that your fate has been decided, who dares to have different intentions?" ”
Chen Kefu sighed and said, "Who doesn't want to be rich? What if there is a death, and your white spoon subordinates support you as they did when Zhuqing supported me in Liaodong? ”
The generals in the palace heard the words of the unchangeable, especially the generals such as Pei Renji, Yang Xuan, Yu Wenhua and Xue Ju, Pei Renji, Xue Dingguo and other generals knelt down and kowtowed, crying: "The ministers will never dare to have such a heart, and please ask Your Majesty to read the meager merits of our past and show a way to live." ”
Chen Kefu said: "After the success of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, they were punished greatly. The birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. It's a pity that I can share the pain but not the joy, I don't want to be like this. Whether it is a meritorious general, or a strategist, without you, there is no me. In today's palace, in addition to the Zhuqing who first followed Yu I, there are also those who later abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and joined the Zhuqing, and even Ruyu Wenhuahe, Xue Ju, Li Rail, Shen Luoyan and other former heroes, and even Yang Yong and other former royal families. I don't want anything else in this life, but I hope that the sun will be peaceful for a long time, the wind and rain will be smooth, and the people will be rich. I also wish that you can share this prosperous peace with me. ”
Li Benlei took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the beggar bones!" ”
Chen Kefu said with a smile: "Life is short, like a white horse passing through a gap, with a flick of a finger, just a hundred years will pass in a hurry." You, I, the monarchs and ministers, etc., are all immediately laid down this great Chen Jiangshan, can there be today, how many people are broken out of the sword mountain and gun forest. We are very fortunate to be able to see the peaceful scene of today, but I regret how many brothers have not waited for today. Everyone has worked hard for most of their lives, and it is time to enjoy the blessings next. Those tiring jobs are left to those young people to do. I give you a high lord and a good wine. It is better for Zhuqing to accumulate more money, buy some real estate, and pass it on to future generations in the future, and put more singers and dancers at home, and drink and enjoy each other at night to die in the end, there is no suspicion between the monarchs and ministers, and the upper and lower are peaceful, isn't it very good? ”
Listening to the emperor's words, who didn't understand what the emperor meant at this time. The emperor opened the window and spoke brightly, and he was already very polite and made his words very clear. What we want is for everyone to hand over power, especially the military generals.
Although the words were very clear, the generals breathed a sigh of relief. I have seen a lot of things in the history books of the birds, and when I turn my turn, I am also worried, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get a good end. Now as soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he bluntly said that let everyone hand over power, and then become a rich man, is there a better result than this? Although there is also a position of nostalgia, compared with the position of power, xing's life is still more important after all.
Second, the emperor sacrificed in the southern suburbs and gave amnesty to the emperor, and at the same time rewarded the Chinese martial arts ministers of the dynasty, each with titles and gold and silver land.
In the third death, the officials above the third rank of the DPRK and China all returned to their hometowns with begging bones, and Chen Kefu approved and agreed to the ministers for most of them who were over 60 years old, as well as many ministers who returned halfway, and even surrendered in the end, and then gave rewards.
In addition, for many heroes who followed first, Chen Kefu also picked out a large part of the instructions to agree to Zhishi.
In June of the ninth year of Shenlong, Chen Kefu ordered the Ministry of Officials to re-evaluate officials, and those who failed to pass the assessment were all given gold and silver orders.
In July, Chen Kefu ordered the military department, the staff headquarters, and the 24th Wei General's Mansion to order, and at the same time transferred the troops and horses in various defense areas and the generals.
In the first month of the tenth year of Shenlong, the imperial court completed the official assessment and the generals were transferred. The imperial court sorted out the rule of officials and successfully recovered the military power!
Dachen Yuanyue Dynasty gathered, the officials of the 45 provinces of the Quartet, the envoys of the kings of the various Tibetan countries in the sea rushed to come to the court, on the Shenlong Hall of the Ziwei Palace in Luoyang, Zhongjing, thousands of officials gathered in the court, and there were more than 300 tributes to the Tibetan State.
Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, the prosperous scene of the coming dynasty of all nations, which has not been seen for decades, has opened again!
