Chapter 148: The Second Year of the First Peace
In the first month of the second year of the first peace, the world was full of smoke, and the Han society was turbulent.
Lost control of Hedong County, Liangzhou in the northwest was occupied by Ma Teng Han Sui, and Liu Xie, the son of heaven, granted amnesty to the world in a corner of Guanzhong that he could only control.
Dong Zhuo, who was sitting in Sanfu, saw that the world was in chaos, and it was no longer possible to clean up the situation, and he completely threw away the last bit of Corporal Lixian and the patience to govern the world, he ordered the left general Dong Min to guard Xiao Pass and defend against Ma Teng Han Sui, while he stayed in Chang'an, completely indulged and acted recklessly.
In February, Dong Zhuo secretly made Guangluxun Xuanfan worship himself as the master of the talisman, above the princes and kings, which can be described as the real Son of Heaven below, above 10,000 people, and pretending to be a car uniform, riding a Jinhua green cover, claws painted two times, and a qiē specification is almost equal to the Son of Heaven.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo began to confer confidants on the clansmen, and staged a story of "one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven". First, he himself was named Marquis of Yi, and then his younger brother Dong Min, the general of the left, was named Marquis of E, and his nephew Dong Huang was appointed as a lieutenant of the middle and middle military schools, all of whom were in the military. 's mother was also named Chiyang Jun, and her granddaughter Dong Bai was named Weiyang Jun, all of whom were equipped with family orders and retainers, and were the same princess.
Especially Dong Zhuo's favorite granddaughter Dong Bai, who has not yet reached the throne, but at the time of the reward, the seven-foot high altar was raised in the east of Yicheng, so that Dong Bai took the Xuan Jinhua Qing to cover the car, and ordered the captain, the Zhonglang general, and the officials of the assassin Shi Qianshi to take the Xuan hairpin pen to guide Dong Bai in the front, and Dong Huang gave the seal ribbon to the messenger, so that the little girl followed her grandfather It can be said that it was a great honor.
The rest of Dong Zhuo's concubines are all marquises, with gold seals and purple ribbons, inside and outside the clan, and occupy official positions, the men are all marquises, and the women are the kings. Dong Zhuo was still not satisfied, and mobilized the people again. Large-scale construction began to build forts in Yixian County. At the same time, they intensified their efforts and wantonly looted gold, silver, copper, coins, pearls, jade, and grain cloth. Prepare to settle into the dock as your own retreat.
Under Dong Zhuo's crazy tyranny, the Lintao Dong clan can be said to be glorious to the extreme, and it is even better than the original general Liang Ji.
In political affairs, Dong Zhuo also became more violent and arbitrary, before he "abolished five baht and minted small money" to guide the price of grain in Guanzhong to one stone and ten thousand dollars, complaining, starving all over the wilderness, but Dong Zhuo did not reflect on himself. On the contrary, they issued more wanton decrees and regulations, changed the decrees every day, and the officials were frequently transferred, all according to his wishes, and the affairs of the Guanzhong court were chaotic.
Outside Guanzhong, in the Central Plains, after Dong Zhuo withdrew from Luoyang, he appointed Zhu Jun, the captain of the Tun Cavalry, as Henan Yin.
Zhu Jun is the world's famous general second only to Huangfu Song, and Dong Zhuo is extremely jealous of him. He only sent him 600 soldiers and horses to guard Luoyang, and Zhu Jun and the Kwantung scholars were one, and he was dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital and autocratic power, so he secretly conspired with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Zhang Miao and other Kwantung princes. wants to use himself as an internal response to plot against Dong Zhuo. It's a pity that the Kwantung princes had their own thoughts and didn't respond. Zhu Jun was afraid that Dong Zhuo would attack him after discovering his behavior, so he took 600 men and horses to abandon the official and fled to Jingzhou. Dong Zhuo also appointed Hongnong Yang Yi as Henan Yin.
After Dong Zhuo retreated to Guanzhong. was rehabilitated by Ji again, Ma Teng Han Sui, and had no time to take care of Hedong County for a while. It relieved the pressure on Guan Yu, who guarded Hedong, and began to step up military training, while Lu Zhi, the Taishou of Hedong, took advantage of the slack time to organize the people and make every effort to build Tibetan academies and schools in various counties.
Shangdang County, Taishou Xunyou in accordance with Ji Ping's order, modeled on the model of Hedong County in Shangdang to implement various decrees, although it was resisted by some families, but first, these families suffered from the Black Mountain, Baibo invasion Yan zhòng, many of them were relocated, second, Xu Huang with 20,000 troops in the town, and there was administrative experience in Hedong County, and the decrees were also smooth.
And the merge states north of Hedong and Shangdang, as soon as winter comes, disaster comes.
In Bingzhou, Han and Hu live together, and foreign races account for almost half of the population, and in Yanmen and Yunzhong, more than half of them are foreign races, mainly the Xiongnu who moved inward, as well as Xianbei and Wuhuan, with a population of millions. Most of these alien races do not produce, and when the cold winter comes, they are forced to loot everywhere, and the Han people suffer from it.
After the division of the Xiongnu in the north and south, the Xiongnu were scattered internally. After the death of Tanshi Huai, who unified Xianbei, his son and Lian were also shot dead when they plundered Beidi County, and Xianbei was also in chaos.
At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, several tribes in the west of Xianbei north of Yanmen, gathered 15,000 cavalry, and in previous years, they plundered in Bingzhou, crossed Yanmen, entered Taiyuan, and united several tribes of the Xiongnu along the way, the number soon reached 30,000, all the way to the west, straight to the east of the river.
Without the constraints of the power of the Baibo army, these alien races were even more unscrupulous, killing and looting wherever they passed, until they reached the Hexi Gorge, where they met Zhang Liao, the general of Zhonglang, led 15,000 cavalry to meet the battle.
The western Xianbei and the Xiongnu plundered the land of the annexed state for decades, and were invincible, especially in the sixth year of the Lingdi Xiping, the Karasuma captain Xia Yu, the Xianbei Zhonglang general Tian Yan, and the Xiongnu Zhonglang Zang Min soldiers divided into three ways to crusade against Xianbei, out of the fortress for more than 1,000 miles, but were defeated by Tanshi Huai and returned, so far, Xianbei and other foreign races despise the Han people's combat power.
Seeing that Zhang Liao led 15,000 cavalry to block, the alien coalition army didn't take it seriously at all, in their opinion, the coalition army rushed all the way, invincible, no matter the strength, combat effectiveness or momentum, they were far above Zhang Liao's army, they only needed one impact, they could break Zhang Liao.
As a result, more than 30,000 foreign cavalry did not stop at all, arrogantly and furiously crushed Zhang Liao's 15,000 men and horses, and entered the battle with a bang.
The interracial coalition army was all cavalry, all proficient in the art of horse archery, galloping back and forth, as soon as the battle was engaged, Zhang Liao's men and horses suffered a lot of losses.
But at this time, Ji Ping's strict drill method and strict military discipline, as well as the preferential policies for military families, gave full play to their role, Zhang Liaozhong's army moved in front of the formation, the whole army fought bravely to the death, the left, center and right three army formations did not retreat an inch, step by step overwhelmingly pushed over.
The fierce alien coalition army encountered obstacles, they were originally a vigorous style of play, suitable for fighting a good fight, and it was easy to collapse in adversity, under the brave combat and cooperation of Zhang Liao's army, the alien coalition army was defeated and retreated, and the men and horses were chaotic.
But these alien coalition forces were also extremely fierce, and this battle lasted for a day and a night, and the alien coalition forces were red-eyed, and the blood on both sides of the Fen River was frozen and dark red. But at dawn, Shangdang Xu Huang led 10,000 soldiers and horses to suddenly attack from the flank, and the alien coalition army, which was already close to retreating, was in chaos and retreated on the whole line.
In this battle, in addition to the courage of the soldiers, the strategic role of Hedong County and Shangdang County as each other's horns was also fully reflected.
Zhang Liao personally led 10,000 cavalry to pursue the north by victory, Xu Huang led 10,000 foot soldiers to cover behind, and the alien coalition army was killed all the way back to Taiyuan County, and then retreated to Yanmen, and finally until outside Yanmen, the 30,000 horses and horses when they were dispatched were scattered, and the rest was less than a thousand.
In the battle, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang killed more than 15,000 people under the leaders of the alien coalition army, captured 8,000 prisoners, captured 6,000 war horses, and took the opportunity to recover the four southern counties of Hexi County and Taiyuan County, and approached Jinyang.
The fangs of the Hedong Army showed for the first time made the counties of Bingzhou tremble, and the Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wuhuan and other alien races trembled. Since the destruction of the Northern Xiongnu, the alien race has not suffered such a tragic defeat for decades.
After the war, according to the order left by Ji Ping when he left, Zhang Liao scattered all the captured foreign soldiers and distributed them to several counties to serve in labor, dig ditches and build roads, and devote themselves to construction.
In February, heavy snow in the north, Zhongshan County, Jizhou, Wuji County, Zhenfu Courtyard.
"Your Highness." Zhen Dao, who was wearing a mink fur, brought a pot of warm wine, walked from the corridor, arrived in the pavilion, came to Ji Ping, who was looking at the snow, and gave a salute.
Ji Ping, who was pondering, turned his head and saw the third lady of the Zhen family coming, he couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly praised in his heart, the five daughters of the Zhen family are indeed beautiful and natural beauty embryos, the eldest and the second are already married, and the third lady Zhen Dao is fifteen years old.
Seeing Ji Ping staring at him stunned, Zhen Daoqiao's face was dyed with a touch of red, he lowered his head slightly, put the plate in his hand in the pavilion, poured a bottle of warm wine for Ji Ping, and said softly: "Your Highness, the weather is very cold, and the concubine saw that you had been in the pavilion for a long time, so she warmed a pot of wine and drank it to warm up." ”
Ji Ping smiled, and knew that he was a little out of shape, so he sat down in the pavilion, although he often practiced martial arts and was not afraid of the cold, but after drinking a glass of wine, he was indeed much more comfortable.
Seeing Zhen Dao pouring wine for him again, Ji Ping's eyes were slightly confused, and he couldn't help but think of the two wives at home, Tang Wan and Yin Muyue, unconsciously, he had been away from Hedong for nearly three months, and he didn't know what happened to them.
Although he is now a prince, controlling the land of the three counties, and there are many subordinate generals and good ministers, but many times, in a trance, he only feels that this is a dream, he would rather travel through the peaceful and prosperous world, be a merry son, accompanied by a beautiful wife and concubine, boudoir thrush, red sleeves and fragrance, lazily live to death.
It's a pity that this ideal is really just a dream, what he is currently facing is the rain of swords and arrows and the people's livelihood, in this troubled world, he can be quiet, but he can't be quiet.
Ji Ping was squinting and distracted, Zhen Dao opposite him didn't speak, but secretly looked up at this gentle young man from time to time, thinking of his mother Zhang's instructions to her, his heart couldn't help but jump out. They Zhen don't have to cling to any princes, but this young man is really a good man.
Phew! A carving sound came from the heavy snow outside the pavilion, waking up Ji Ping and the girl who were pregnant with spring.
A cold wind struck, a snow-white eagle retracted its wings of more than two feet, flapped it twice, shook off the snowflakes on the feathers, jumped into the pavilion, and rubbed its head into Ji Ping's arms, which was the end of the golden eagle world.
Ji Ping touched Tianya's head, took out a bamboo tube from under its neck, and took out a roll of paper, which was a letter from Anyi. (To be continued......)
