Chapter 351: Hongnong Rebellion
Wei Xuan recommended Taiwei to guard Guanzhong, of course Yang Biao could refuse, but the young Son of Heaven was a second-year teenager, and he didn't like others to oppose him in this kind of big event. And Wei Xuan's careful calculation can be regarded as a decisive move, and there will definitely be a follow-up move waiting. Yang Biao refused to stay in Guanzhong and follow the Son of Heaven to Hedong, and he would definitely be laughed at by the world as greedy for wealth. Wei Xuanzheng wanted to find an opportunity to get him down, so Yang Biao decided to endure the humiliation and stay to guard Guanzhong. I also hope that through my own efforts, I can win a part of the Weixuan Huxia soldiers, and win a piece of support for the imperial court, the support of the sergeants and the people, as well as a part of the land where the imperial court has the absolute right to speak.
However, Yang Biao never imagined that his concession this time was just the beginning. Next, he didn't have a chance to fight back against Wei Xuan at all.
In order to show off his military might, Wei Xuan held a joint military exercise in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an. Of course, the name is to see off the Son of Heaven. When more than 10,000 light cavalry were lined up outside the east gate of Chang'an City, the hussar general Dong Cheng almost fell off his horse in fright. And the civil and military officials who passed by in the middle were also shocked by the earth-shaking shouts.
Yang Biao, who went out of the city to see him off, also saw 10,000 horsemen for the first time???????????????? How big is the movement of the soldiers galloping on the Guanzhong Plain.
But these are just the beginning, 10,000 light cavalry from the middle, the Son of Heaven's chariot has just left the city gate, Zhang Liao led 10,000 heavy cavalry along the moat, the earth is trembling, the heart of the Son of Heaven Liu Xie is trembling again. While being shocked by the power of the heavy cavalry, he also sighed in his heart, if he has such a hundred thousand soldiers in his hands, why worry about the injustice of the world?
In the past, although Dong Zhuo was very arrogant and Li Dao was rude, they did not directly put nearly 20,000 cavalry in front of the Son of Heaven and the Manchu Dynasty. And 10,000 of the heavy cavalry still galloped by. Fortunately, Wei Xuan is not Dong Zhuo's arrogant and rude person, otherwise Liu Xie would not have the power to resist.
Finally waiting for the smoke and dust in the air to dissipate, Tai Shici's special combat team came out again and started the performance in the open land outside the east gate of Chang'an. The cold and shining Mo knife and the divine arm bow with an effective range of nearly two hundred steps also opened the eyes of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and the other civil and military forces.
Everyone understood why Wei Xuan was able to defeat the invincible Dong Zhuo, defeat Yu Fuluo, and expel the Southern Xiongnu.
Of course, the military exercise also greatly shocked the people in Chang'an City and the so-called 2,000 personal soldiers of the Son of Heaven. If they meet on the battlefield, I am afraid that those heavy cavalry will solve the problem with a single charge. What is ridiculous is that Yang Biao and Dong Cheng also fantasize about using these people to contain Wei Xuan.
It was only 600 miles from Chang'an to Anyi, but the Son of Heaven walked for two months, in addition to wasting a lot of time crossing the river, the Son of Heaven insisted on riding a horse after entering the east of the river, and wanted to see the difference between Hedong and Guanzhong with his own eyes.
Wei Xuan did not wait for the Son of Heaven to arrive in Anyi together, but came directly to Taiyuan along the Fen River. Although it was just an excuse to say in front of the Son of Heaven that the Xianbei people might have actions, after all, the Son of Heaven and the entire Han court came to Hedong, and he had to stabilize and annex the state. Naturally, he carried with him two thousand heavy cavalry and more than four thousand infantry.
Zhu Jun, Huang Wan and others were worried that Wei Xuan would control the Son of Heaven in Anyi like Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, but they didn't expect that the first person to have an accident was Taiwei Yang Biao.
Yang Biao was in Chang'an, in fact, there was nothing to do, and he also tried to win over Zhang Liao and Tai Shici, but of course these two would ignore him, and people such as Zhang Fei, About, Guan Hai and others did not take such a captain who did not understand the military area at all and Wei Xuan did not deal with it.
In fact, Yang Biao's reputation in Chang'an has not been good in recent years, at least in order to cater to Dong Zhuo, he has made no less compromises, and allowed Li Dao, Guo Yan and others to loot Guanzhong, which also made him, a captain, lose the support of the people like the Han court. This made Yang Biao move the idea of speeding up the destruction of the Wei Xuan Bureau. As a result, many wealthy clans of the Hongnong Army began to connect in tandem, and in the end, there was a farce of thieves occupying the county seat.
Before the Son of Heaven arrived in Anyi, Hongnong rebelled, which really frightened Liu Xie, and at the same time he was glad that he did not go directly back to Luoyang through Hongnong.
The good news was that Hongnong's rebellion was quickly quelled. Zhao Yun, who had been deployed in Lintong, led 6,000 light cavalry to Huayin as soon as possible. Subsequently, Zhang Ji's 10,000 people also set off from Hanggu Pass to Hongnong.
With the combat power of the Wei Xuan Army, the rapid suppression of the rebellion was expected by the Son of Heaven and Yang Biao and others. But when the Son of Heaven didn't expect it, Zhang Ji led people into Hongnong and decisively raided the local Hao family who took the lead in making trouble, and ???????????????? the family members All of them were seized and awaited disposal by the imperial court.
After Yang Biao got the news, he also sent people to Hedong to complain about Wei Xuan's soldiers and the scourge of Hongnong.
As a result, a few days later, Zhang Ji and Zhao Yun's joint recital also arrived, along with the letters that Yang Biao wrote to his clansmen and some local wealthy family heads a few months ago, as well as letters to Liu Biao and others. Of course, these are unsightly, but Zhao Yun and Zhang Ji chose to give them directly to the Son of Heaven!
If it were not for Hongnong's rebellion, even if the Son of Heaven knew and was familiar with Yang Biao's handwriting, he would not think that these letters were really written by Yang Biao.
And when the Manchu Dynasty civil and military learned that Taiwei actually took such a subordinate measure in order to deal with Wei Xuan, he was also embarrassed. Of course, more smart people are watching the fire from the other side, wanting to see how Yang Biao will make a move next, and see if there is a more Kyocera performance in the battle between the two.
Taiwei instigated the rebellion of his clansmen and colluded with the princes of the Kwantung region who were dissatisfied with the imperial court to confront the imperial court, which can be described as conclusive evidence of the crime. Liu Xie ran out of ideas, and in the county government of Xie County, Liu Xie held the first temporary super meeting since going north.
Liu Xie handed more than a dozen letters from Yang Biao to Situ Zhujun and Sikong Huangwan in front of the ministers. The two had already read these letters privately from the Son of Heaven and had confirmed the handwriting. Now in front of other officials, the two also pretended to be surprised.
After a long time, Zhu Jun said: "Your Majesty, the guards are in Taiyuan, and the Taiwei people are in Guanzhong. ”
Huang Wan was not as good as Zhu Jun, he glanced back at the small number of courtiers and said to Liu Xie: "Taiwei is so confused, Your Majesty ordered him to go into hiding." Or directly send Zhang Liao and others to detain them. ”
Zhu Jun looked at Huang Wan helplessly, he thought that if Yang Biao got the news, and then invited himself to return to his hometown under the hint of the Son of Heaven, it would also leave a little face for the Hongnong Yang family. However, Huang Wan seems to be going to make a big deal out of it!
Dong Cheng, the hussar general and the secretary of the book, was not as easy as the two of them, he was brought up by Yang Biao and used to occupy the position. is aimed at Wei Xuan, if it weren't for him to occupy a record of Shangshu, maybe now after Yang Biao's accident, it will be Wei Xuan's only record of Shangshu. Since the matter is out, Dong Cheng naturally still has to save it: "Your Majesty, Taiwei's move is also for the court, for Your Majesty." Wei Cheqi now has mastered the whole territory of Bingzhou and Sili, as well as Yingchuan, which has a large number of famous men, and Nanyang, which has a large population, and its military strength has greatly surpassed that of Dong Zhuo at the beginning and Li Dao and Guo Yan later. Taiwei wanted to control Guanzhong's colleagues for the imperial court, and gradually seize the county from the chariot riders. Although this move was too hasty, it was commendable for its loyalty. ”
Hearing Dong Cheng say this, Liu Xie finally understood why Taiwei would do such a foolish thing, he stayed in Guanzhong by himself, and Hongnong was his hometown, if it could be connected, maybe he could look east to Henan. Even if there is no progress in the future, at least he can compete with Wei Xuan.
However, Yang Biao's matter is indeed too rough, and the key is that the handwritten letter also fell into the hands of Wei Xuanren.
Seeing that the Son of Heaven was embarrassed, Zhu Jun stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, at this time, the guard car riding should have a proposition. He deployed a large number of troops in both Lintong and Hangu Pass, and he must have been aware of it. No, please ride the guard car to Anyi to discuss. ”
Zhu Jun's meaning???????????????? Si was very tactful, but Liu Xie understood. In the final analysis, Dong Cheng's statement is not wrong, now it is Wei Xuan and Yang Biao who are competing in Si Li, since Wei Xuan has won comprehensively and Yang Biao has lost, how to deal with Yang Biao should be Wei Xuan's final say.
Otherwise, what decision did the Son of Heaven and the imperial court make, it would be embarrassing for Wei Xuan to be unforgiving.
Although Dong Cheng had the intention to prevent the Son of Heaven from handing over Yang Biao to Wei Xuan for disposal. But Huang Wanxian wanted to see Yang Biao unlucky. He was originally unclear with Yang Biao, but now that he is in Hedong, if he helps Yang Biao, it is very likely to anger Wei Xuan, then Wei Xuan's next target is him Dong Cheng.
Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Liu Xie could only send someone to Jinyang to invite Wei Xuan, but Wei Xuan did not arrive, Wei Su did come out of Anyi City, under the escort of the Wei family's private soldiers, the Taishi canonized by the first emperor had already passed the age of sixties. But Wei Su is different from his young nephews, he is wholeheartedly loyal to the Son of Heaven and the Great Han.
Wei Su, who was fifty years older than the Son of Heaven, took Liu Xie all the way to the Wei family's manor in the west of Anyi, which was where Wei Xuan trained his guards.
What moved Liu Xie was that Wei Su drove out all the Wei family here, leaving a large amount of grain and luxury goods produced by the Wei family in the manor. If rice paper, candles, soap, soy sauce, etc. Liu Xie was dazzled, and Zhu Jun and the others who also watched were dumbfounded.
This manor is much larger than the Taishou Mansion in Hedong, and most of the buildings have been renovated, so it is conceivable that Wei Su was fully prepared after receiving that the Son of Heaven was about to go north. This is much more intentional than directly placing the Son of Heaven in the Taishou Mansion in Hedong.
Wei Su is obviously attentive, there is an obviously newly built small palace in the manor, which is specially used for the Son of Heaven to hold a super meeting, there are dragon chairs like Luoyang, and there are also Taishi chairs that have not yet become popular in Chang'an.
Liu Xie finally found the feeling of meaning the Son of Heaven, because this manor only belonged to him and his courtiers. Wei Su came to the manor during the day to work, and returned to Anyi City at night.
Of course, Dong Cheng's 2,000 personal soldiers, Zi'an, occupied the barracks guarded by the Wei family. Liu Xie couldn't help but start to doubt Yang Biao's words, this Wei Su at least did not mean to hold the dictatorship of the Son of Heaven hostage.
