Chapter 178: Pharmacist
"The town of Daning Town, the governor of Yanzhou, will be from the five products." Han Hong flicked the letter paper in his hand, chuckled and said to the nephew sitting in front of him, "This is a good opportunity, although it is said that Daning is deserted, but at the moment it is all blue and ready to move, there are police in the north at any time, my uncle knows that you are familiar with the art of war, and it is really a talent to stay in Chang'an as a member of the driving department, and it is just a good opportunity to take this opportunity to show your ambitions." ”
Han Hong, who was just over fifty years old, did not look old at all, on the contrary, his eyes were sharp, his figure was strong, and his face was bearded, which made him look more and more powerful. Han Hong is the governor of Daizhou, Daizhou, that is, in the Xindai Basin in Yanmen Pass, south of Taiyuan, west of Yanmen, east of Taihang, north of Yinshan Yanshan, at this time, here east of Youzhou and south of the state, to the west of Shuozhou is the East Turkic capital Lan Khan in front of the Khan Ting tooth tent on the Ele River. Although there are Shuozhou, Yunzhou and the Great Wall between the Turks in front of them, but in fact, the Eastern Turks have become stronger in recent years, once the Sui Turk war, Yun and Shuozhou have long been difficult to resist the Turkic army, and can only serve as a warning, the real border town in the east of Hedong in the north of the Great Sui is actually Daizhou Yanmen Pass, and then the first important town in the north and Taiyuan in the north.
Han Hong was able to sit in Daizhou and become the governor of Daizhou, so he was naturally not an ordinary general.
Speaking of Han Hong, there may be many people who are not familiar with it, but when it comes to another general surnamed Han, his brother Han Baohu, there are few people who don't know. Born as the Shangzhu State, died as the king of Yama, Han Baohu was one of the two generals who destroyed Chen, and was extremely brave, and even because of the merit of destroying Chen, he was called one of the four famous generals of the Great Sui by the people of the time. Han Hong is the younger brother of Han Baohu, and Han Baohu has three brothers. The eldest Han captures the tiger, the second Han Seng Shou, and the third Han Hong. Han Hong and Han Seng Shou are the same age. However, Han Seng Shou and Han Baohu are concubines, and Han Hong is concubines. But Han Hong and Han Seng Shou, their bravery, are not inferior to their brother Han Baohu. The three brothers of the Han family are also Jiangmen Huzi, their father Han Xiong Han Mulan was originally an official of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and later the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty were divided, and Han Xiong led more than 60 of his subordinates to join the Western Wei Dynasty. He led the people to fight against the Eastern Wei Dynasty and made great achievements, after the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Han family also became a member of the Guanlong aristocracy. Han Mulan also married Li Chongyi, the prince of Yongkang County, and married her daughter to Li Chongyi's son Li Quan, and the Li and Han families married and their strength increased greatly.
Han Baohu's sister married Li Quan. Several sons were born. One of them even surpassed Han Baohu in fame later, that is, Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty.
However, at this time, Li Jing was already twenty-nine years old, but he was not as prominent as many of the second generation of Guan Sui nobles, the key reason was that Li Jing was not the son-in-law of Li Quan, the duke of Yongkang County.
Since the Zhou Dynasty entered the Sui Dynasty, many heroes have been knighted, and the titles of heroes can also be hereditary, but one thing remains unchanged from other dynasties. That is, the title is hereditary and inherited by the eldest son. Li Quan has three sons, and Li Jing is the second. Above him, there are also elder brother Li Yaowang and younger brother Li Keshi. Li Jing was not called Li Jing at first, and his brother was not called Li Duan, when they were born, it was the time to worship Buddha, so the brothers took the name of Buddha according to the customs of the time, according to the Buddhist medicine king Buddha and medicine Buddha, the Li family named the brothers Li Yaowang and Jie Yaoshi respectively, but later Wu Zhou destroyed the Buddha, and the brothers also changed their names according to the situation at the time, the eldest medicine king changed his name to Li Duan, and the second pharmacist changed his name to Li Jing. Later, after entering the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian respected the Buddha again, and the brothers were also adults, so they directly regarded the original Buddha name as a word.
Li Jing's grandfather Li Chongyi was once the Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Western Wei, and Northern Zhou Dynasty of Yinzhou Assassin History, for the Li family earned the title of Duke of Yongkang County, and later passed to the head of Li Jing's father Li Quan, Li Quan in the Sui Dynasty, served as the Taishou of Zhao County, but the emperor died in his early years, so his title was passed to his eldest son Li Yaowang. Li Yaowang is now the prince of Yongkang County, and there is also a general's commander who leads troops under his uncle's account as the governor of the state.
Although the Li family is not Li Mu, Li Yuan, and Li Mi, the top Guanlongmen valves, they can be regarded as nobles. Although his father died early, Li Jing's career is not bad.
Li Jing grew up since he was a child, due to the influence of the family, he has never been very literary and military talented, quite enterprising, and even once told his father Li Quan that if the husband meets the monarch and the era of the Holy Ming, he should make meritorious contributions and seek wealth. Even his uncle Han Baohu sometimes talked to him about military affairs, and even applauded his opinions, saying that if he could discuss the art of war with Sun and Wu with me, I would be the only one. Although this is an exaggeration, Li Jing is indeed rarely famous.
With the family's shadow, Li Jing became a Gongcao of Chang'an County at the age of sixteen, Gongcao, which is equivalent to a personnel director in later generations. At the age of sixteen, he has already become the director of the suburban county of the capital, which is already very remarkable. At that time, even Yang Su once patted his couch and said to Li Jing, you should finally be in this position in the future. With such a reputation, talent, family relationship, and celebrity appreciation, Li Jing's career is very smooth, and after a few years as a gongcao, he was promoted to the chief of the palace. This official is the official position of Qipin, mainly responsible for some daily affairs of the palace, and then Li Jing was promoted to the position of Wailang, the driving department of Liupin.
The driving department is a department under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, which is mainly in charge of the chariots and horses when the emperor is out of the chariot.
Although Li Jing failed to inherit the title, his official position also rose steadily, almost every few years, and he was promoted to a big rank almost every few years, and the promotion speed was already very fast.
However, in the twelfth year of the opening of the emperor, the biggest pillar of the two Li and Han families, Han Baohu, became the king of Yama. Li Jing, who has become a foreign driver of the department, has also begun to stop in his career. In a blink of an eye, by now, he is nearly thirty years old, but he is still a member of the sixth grade, staying in a Qingshui yamen for a long time.
The reason for this is that Li Jing's family is not very populous, and secondly, Li and Han are not important members of the Guanlong group, although Han Baohu was also a famous general, but the Han family is not enough, which also leads to the fact that after Chen was destroyed, He Ruobi was able to be knighted with merit, but Han Baohu was convicted, and although he was exonerated in the end, he was not crowned. And at that time, the three brothers of the Han family, one was more fierce than the other, Han Baohu was brave and known to the world, and Han Seng Shou was no worse than Han Bao Hu. Han Seng Shou is not only fierce, but also has never lost a battle. This ability was the predecessor of Yang Su, the victorious general of the later Sui Dynasty. And Han Hong is also quite fierce, he once followed Wei Xiaokuan to break the captain Chi Yuan, and was named the county marquis because of his merits. Later, after the destruction of Chen. Yang Guang and the generals hunted Jiang Shan, and suddenly a tiger ran out, everyone was afraid, Duhan Hong stepped forward immediately, opened his bow and shot, and the tiger fell down. Han Hong later contributed to the pillar of the country, and successively served as the governor of Jiangzhou, the history of Lianzhou, the governor of Shuozhou, and the governor of Daizhou.
Han Seng Shou is currently the head of Lanzhou. Jue Guangling County Duke, Zhu Guo, Han Hong served as the acting governor of the state. Jue Gantang County Marquis, Zhu Guo.
When Han Baohu was alive, although the two brothers were also fierce generals, the Son of Heaven refused to let the three Han brothers lead the army at the same time, so he kept suppressing the two. After the death of Han Baohu. Only then did he let the two of them dominate the border town. Also because of the political discord between the two brothers, Han Seng Shou is the prince's party, but Han Hong has a good relationship with King Jin.
However, Li Jing has always had a good relationship with Han Hong, and even King Li Yao followed Han Hong in Daizhou. But in this way, he is not liked by his uncle, especially Li Jing's driving department is the department under the supervision of Liu Shu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Liu Shu, everyone knows it. He is a staunch princeling, which is also the death of Han Baohu. An important reason why Li Jing never moved his seat again. As soon as Han Baohu died, the pillars of the Han family were gone, Han Seng Shou and Han Hong's brothers were not in harmony, and Li Jing was close to Han Hong, who was pro-Jin Wang, he was naturally not treated by the prince's boss, the military department, and the Li family was not strong, which caused him to be a Gongcao of Chang'an County at the age of sixteen, but at the age of twenty-nine, he was still in place as a member of the driving department.
Previously, Han Hong returned to Beijing to report on his work and reported to the Son of Heaven on the preparations for the defense of Daizhou. Han Hong was ready to take the opportunity to take Yang Su's path and seek a foreign position for Li Jing. However, when Li Jing heard some rumors about Huaihuang in the yamen, and the Son of Heaven was preparing to set up the Wuzhou Governor's Mansion, Li Jing felt that a rare opportunity had come. He mentioned yì to his uncle and asked him to help him find a position in the Wuzhou governor's mansion, and he even expressed his willingness to go to Wuzhou to serve as a county magistrate. However, the county order is a petty official of the seventh or eighth grade, but Li Jing has long been a Beijing official of the sixth grade. However, before Han Hong went to visit Yang Su, Yang Su's brother Yang Yue came to visit him first.
A few days after Yang Yue left, the imperial court announced the establishment of the Wuzhou Governor's Office, and Li Jing was selected and transferred as the general of Daning. Within two days, the imperial court changed the edict, the original Huaihuang County Order, Huaihuang Town General Yi Feng served as the governor of Wuzhou, and the imperial court set up a new Yanzhou Governor's Office in Huai'an and Huairong counties, and Li Jing still had to serve as the general of Daning Town. But originally, Daning Town, the Governor of Wuzhou, would be the general of the Liupin Town, but now, before he took office, he had been promoted to the upper town with Daning Town, and Li Jing was also promoted from the general of the lower town to the general of the upper town, and became the military attache of the fifth grade.
Han Hong is very satisfied with this position, and Li Jing is also very satisfied. Li Jing actually prefers to go out to lead the troops, but the imperial court has always been very jealous of the situation where a family and several brothers lead the troops. For example, the three brothers of He Ruobi, the three brothers of Han Baohu, etc., are all if a cousin is very good, the court will inevitably suppress his brothers. Li Jing's elder brother Li Yaowang is now the Duke of Yongkang County, and he has the rank of general, and he leads the troops under Han Hong's account, if it weren't for Yang Su's intervention this time, Li Jing would definitely have to be awarded the rank of military leader, and he was still in Daning Town, which was so close to Li Kang and Han Hong.
"Zhongzhen commanded 800 troops, which is equivalent to a chariot and cavalry mansion of the government soldiers, and it is guarding Daning City, the pass of the Great Wall, as long as you train well, you will have the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions in the coming year, and even be knighted." Han Hong said with a smile.
Li Jing didn't seem too excited, he said to Han Hong calmly: "Uncle is in Daizhou, not far from Huaihuang, how much does my uncle know about Yi Feng?" ”
"Some people say that he is the illegitimate son of King Jin, and some people say that he is the concubine of the prince and the concubine, and now there are different opinions, and no one can say clearly." Han Hong chuckled.
Li Jing shook his head, he didn't care about these rumors, what he cared about was Yi Feng. Since he planned to go to Huaihuang, he has also collected a lot of news about Yi Feng recently, but Daxing is far away from Huaihuang, and he also found that Yi Feng has risen in a short period of time this year. The information that can be collected is very limited, on the surface, he only knows that Yi Feng turned out to be the adopted son of Murong Ke, the leader of the northern green forest, and then became a leader, married Murong Ke's daughter this year, and then became the acting alliance leader, and then, he quickly integrated the green forests and border people of Qinshan and Yanshan Zhubaozhai, and now he has more than 300,000 people, and there are 20,000 or 30,000 horses.
Li Jing was a little hard to believe these situations, especially the information he received that Yi Feng first broke through nearly 10,000 cavalry in Mobei Bayegu with more than 1,000 horse thieves. Then at the foot of Qin Mountain, with 1,600 archers, he defeated 20,000 thieves, which is just like telling a story. But no matter what, judging from the current situation, this Yi Feng has indeed integrated the border people and thieves in the Qinshan and Yanshan areas in a short period of time, and has also opened a border market, engaged in trade, and banned robbery, etc., all of which are incredible.
It is said that Yi Feng is only eighteen years old!
At this time, Han Hong finally got up sternly and said slowly, "The news I have is that I went to Yangzhou once in the spring of Yifeng, and then returned to Huaihuang in April, accompanied by many Jin kings. Then, it was Yi Feng who defeated the Beihu people and the Qinshan thieves successively, and quickly integrated these large and small fortresses outside the Saiwai. Also, a few days ago, Yang Su's brother Yang Yue found me and faintly mentioned that I should take care of Huaihuang. ”
When Li Jing heard this, his face finally changed a little, "It seems that the rumors outside that Yi Feng is the illegitimate son of King Jin are indeed not groundless, whether it is true or not, this relationship between Yi Feng and King Jin is by no means simple." ”
"What do you mean?"
"I don't believe that a small leader of the green forest who is only eighteen years old suddenly has such ability, not only to unify the green forests of Yanshan and Qinshan in the north, but even to build roads and cities, open markets and trade, and even pull up twenty or thirty thousand people so quickly. He's a green forest horse thief, how do you understand this? I think that Yi Feng is just a small chess piece pushed by King Jin in front of the stage, and Huaihuang's qiē is very likely to be manipulated by King Jin behind the scenes. ”
Li Jing's analysis, Han Hong also nodded, they didn't believe that Huaihuang's current qiē was done by a young man who was still a horse thief leader half a year ago. A qiē shows that this can only be a qiē manipulated by the King of Jin, and as for why they did this, both of them quickly thought of Yang Liang, the king of Han. The king of Han is the most favored by the son of heaven and his wife, and now that the prince is falling out of favor more and more, the position of the prince may change at any time, and the two people who have the best chance to replace him are the two people, the second son of the virtuous king Yang Guang, and the most favored Han king Yang Liang. Yang Liang now owns the fifty-two states in the eastern part of the country, but he only became a vassal last year, and his control over these fifty-two states is not too strong, such as Han Hong, the governor of Daizhou, who is close to the state, is actually closer to the king of Jin, and the governor of Youzhou, an important town in the east, also has a good relationship with the king of Jin, and the governor of Yingzhou has even become the second son of the king of Jin. At this time, the king of Jin laid out in Huaihuang again and placed a team of soldiers and horses, in their opinion, it was to press a dark chess ambush.
"What are you going to do?" Han Hong asked, although he was closer to King Jin, in fact, he had not completely fallen to anyone.
"I think King Jin can take over the world!" Li Jing pondered for a long time and slowly spit out this sentence.
Everyone in the world calls King Jin the most virtuous, Li Jing actually doesn't think so, but he feels that King Jin is indeed the most capable of disguise, and King Jin is indeed talented. From the king of Jin sitting in Jianghuai, now the south of the Yangtze River is singing and dancing, a prosperous scene, and now, the king of Jin can quietly pull the three towns of Daizhou, Youzhou and Yingzhou under the king of Han in a short period of time, and now he has nailed an important dark chess piece in Huaihuang, and even through guò Huaihuang, he made the court in the Han domain of the Han king, and suddenly added Wuzhou, Fuzhou, Xuanzhou, and Pingzhou four governors' offices, although these four governors are still under the Yang Lang and Zhou governor's mansions, but they are only nominally.
After such a comparison, it was found that the crown prince was not the opponent of King Jin at all, and Yang Liang was also not at the level of King Jin.
As soon as the three princes compared, Li Jing naturally immediately judged that this prince did not fight, but in fact, before the war, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, had already won the victory.
Han Hong fell into deep thought on the side, if it was really as his nephew Li Jing said, King Jin was the one who finally got the world, then he had to prepare early. (To be continued......)
