Chapter Seventy-Four: Luoyang Downtown (1)
In July 185 AD, the Jiang family army attacked, with the help of the new Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo, less than half a month to take over the Su Fang, although there was sporadic resistance, but did not become the atmosphere, all the way to the clouds of the Xu Bu did not dare to touch Jiang Qi Huwei, never moved.
With the smooth takeover of Su Fang, Jiang Qi is now sitting on the West River, Su Fang is looking at the county, although the soldiers are only tens of thousands, and there are only a dozen generals, but he is not as weak as the crown, and he has begun to take on the color of a hero.
However, when the Jiang family army was marching forward and the Hu people fled in despair, the Han Dynasty, which was already full of holes, was not so calm, since Jiang Qi left Beijing, there was no peace in the court, first Liu Hong obeyed Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong's slanderous edict to the world, in addition to the normal rent, the mu tax of ten yuan to help repair the palace, and stipulated, the assassin history, Taishou and Maocai, filial piety and incorruptibility moved, all must pay to help the army repair the palace money, in addition to the large county to pay 20 million, 30 million.
To be an official needs to pay money, so when the new official arrives, he will compete to loot the people, accumulate wealth as compensation, and for a time the people complained about it, and the peasant uprising swarmed again, and there were beacons in the west and Yizhou, and in the south to Jiaozhi.
In the Central Plains, there are dozens of rebel troops, the big ones have 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, the small ones are 6,000 or 7,000, and the most serious ones are the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army with more than one million troops, and the Hebei Black Mountain Army also has more than one million troops.
The rebel army attacked the county and killed the officials, and the momentum was huge, one after another, forming a trend of burning the prairies.
Among the many rebels, only the Black Mountain Thieves are the most, and the leader of the Black Mountain Thieves, Zhang Mingyan, is light and brave, so the army is called "Feiyan". Hebei counties and counties and was killed, when Jizhou Assassin Shi Huang Fu Song was requisitioned by the imperial court, Zhenbei general Jiang Qi did not return to the border no one to ask, less than half a year his troops slept wide, to one million.
However, compared to the rebels in the counties, Zhang Yan was much smarter, especially when he heard that the Huns were defeated by Jiang Qi, the general of Zhenbei, Zhang Yan knew that he would cause a catastrophe if he didn't stop, so he immediately sent an envoy to Beijing to beg for surrender; Seeing Zhang Yan's surrender, Liu Hong, who was surprised to order a large-scale killing in the Taiping Rebellion, accepted his surrender abnormally, and then worshiped General Zhang ** and led the valleys of Hebei.
If Liu Hong accepted Zhang Yan's surrender to help the bandit army, make the thieves worse, and accelerate the fall of the dynasty, then the next move is enough to shake the foundation, the June Emperor to ask Zhang Jiaogong, Fengzhong Chang Zhang Rang and other twelve people as the marquis, can see the thieves worship the generals, the traitors are the marquis, many people in the court who do not want to be the army have hung up the seal, the loyal ministers are far away, the traitors are in charge, Liu Hong undoubtedly self-destruction of the cornerstone.
However, under the loosening of the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong once again destroyed his Great Wall, and Zhang Rang, who had just been sealed in July, committed greed again, and when Emperor Fu Song confronted the rebels, Zhang Rang sent an envoy to ask for 50 million money, but this time Zhang Rang obviously found the wrong object, although Huang Fu Song was not as arrogant as the famous man Lu Zhi, but he had always been honest, and he bribed Zhang Rang before he came to eat and live with the soldiers during the march.
There was no money to bribe Zhang Rang, and when Huangfu Song begged Zhang Jiao to pass Yecheng, he saw that Zhao Zhongshe's house was overdue, and it was confiscated into the treasury. offended the two most favored people in the court, and Huang Fu Song couldn't think of anything this time, and immediately Zhao and Zhang played Huang Fu Song in a row without success, and there were many contributors.
With the impeachment of Huang Fu Song by Zhang and Zhao, the book appeared on Liu Hong's book case for the first time, although Liu Hong did not feel that Huang Fu Song, who had been fighting for a long time, had too many sins, but Zhang and Zhao said Liu Hong's heart, that is, there are many contributors.
What is the war, that is money and food, and now Liu Hong, who is getting money to repair the palace, can tolerate the waste of Huangfu Song, even if he returns to Zhengsong, he will collect the car seal ribbon of the left army cavalry general, and cut 6,000 households.
Huangfu Song was requisitioned, who led the army to resist the enemy became the primary problem in the Han court, and at this time the Han court ushered in the Xiongnu envoys, and the Xiongnu Zuogu Liwang who was in tears at the sight of Jiang Qi's evil deeds called Chuquan, and the matter that had plagued the Han court for many days was solved.
Immediately in the court, Liu Hong waved his hand to dispel public opinion, and the court promised to call for the surrender of Chuquan, and an edict was transmitted to Xihe, and there was a holy decree that was enough to shake the world with the edict, and the reason why Liu Hong was so optimistic about Jiang Qi's leading troops, in addition to his outstanding military achievements, was somewhat related to not reaching out to the court to ask for money.
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
Luoyang, even if there is chaos today, there are displaced people everywhere. But as the imperial capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Luoyang is still singing and dancing, drunk and dreaming of death.
Luoyang's gold market, as a gathering place for goods from south to north, this place is the most prosperous place in Luoyang, regardless of the fur in the north, the silk in the south, the forging brocade in the west, there is everything here, wine shops, inns, song houses, casinos are all over the streets and alleys.
Of course, because of the prosperous location of the gold market, there are many three religions and nine streams, and this place is also the place where the information in the world spreads the fastest, whether it is an interesting story of the imperial court or a rebellion in the county, as long as it happens, it will not take long for it to spread all over here.
And now the most widely spread here is the war report from the north, although now the Han beacon is in flames, but what really makes the people of the Han Dynasty concerned is Jiang Boxiao, the general of Zhenbei who fought for the country, and the reason why the people are so concerned about the battle situation of the Jiang family army is somewhat due to the sprinkling order to kill Hu.
Hero Building, one of the best restaurants in the gold market, the restaurant is three floors high and covers an area of several acres, the carved beams and paintings are very luxurious, this building is especially famous for the grape wine of the Western Regions, even the dignitaries in the court will often have a drink here.
Today's Hero Building can be described as full of customers, crowded, and the reason why the store has such a good business is thanks to a group of rangers who have just returned from outside the Great Wall.
At this moment, it is noon, the most lively time of the day, I saw that the hundreds of dining tables arranged in the hall on the ground floor have been full of diners, not only the table is full, many of them are late today, and the guests who did not come and found the dining table do not even dare to leave, and have sat around the straw mats next to the dining table and waited to be seated, and so many people enthusiastically came to the Hero Building, all in order to personally hear the experience of a few drinkers.
Just arrived at noon, I saw the restaurant shopkeeper surrounded by two big shoulders with round waists, and some gray sideburns walked out, and the big man was not polite as soon as he came out, one of them carried a jar of wine and walked to the desk specially built in the middle of the food table, and said first: "Where did you talk about it last timeγγγOh yes, yesterday it was said that the Huns were pressed by the army and surrounded the Jiang family legions"
"You didn't see the scene at that time, the scene of tens of thousands of war horses, like a dark cloud, rushed over, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, if the timid people heard it enough to frighten their guts, but even so, our Qilin general, in the face of thousands of troops and horses, still standstill, calmly commanding his subordinates less than half of the Huns' troops to form a formation to resist the enemyγγγγγγ"
"In the battle array, General Qilin is in command of the Chinese army, and several tiger generals in front and behind form a circle to defend against the enemy. But although the Jiang family army knew the enemy in advance and the formation was appropriate, in the face of thousands of horse legs, could the flesh and blood of my Han family be able to defeat it? At this moment, you can imagine the scene when the war horse hits the flesh, and when the rumbling horse's hooves step over, it can only be described as flesh and blood flying and screaming everywhere. But even so, none of the men of my Han family retreated, holding their positions for three days and three nightsγγγγ General Xu Gongming, who directly faced the impact of the Hun cavalry, was even more blood-stained in his robe, and he was wounded several times and almost martyred."
"Seeing the overwhelming attack of the Huns, the Jiang family army suffered heavy casualties, and seeing that the war was unfavorable, General Qilin had a plan, and immediately sent his sergeants to sneak back to Guangyan while he was master, and in the face of General Qilin's sudden order, his soldiers were all puzzled, but none of them questioned the general's order, but soon with the evacuation of the people of Guangyan City, the soldiers knew that General Qilin was going to make a tomb for the Huns in Guangyan."
"General Qilin's strategy is very simple, he is to fight a decisive battle with the Huns in Guangyan, but although the strategy is simple, but the Huns are not stupid, they can't follow the general's will to execute, in order to lead these Huns into the trap, General Qilin did not work hard, and finally let his battalions sneak away one after another, alone to lure the enemy deep, that day General Qilin with more than 1,000 cavalry under his command went straight to the Huns tens of thousands of horses, in the face of thousands of troops and horses, General Qilin looked at the chickens and dogs, rushed into the army, the general was a melon cutting vegetables, It's overwhelming to kill all the way, and there is no one under him at all."
"Rushing into the enemy formation, although the number of Qilin General's guards is very small, they are free to come and go, repeatedly rushing to kill when the general's robe is soaked in blood, the general sees that the time is almost right and is ready to lure the enemy deep, but at this moment the sudden thing interrupted the general's opportunity, just from the encirclement of tens of thousands of Huns, the general found that there are more than ten guards trapped in the enemy formation in danger, maybe for ordinary generals, more than ten of his subordinates do not care whether they die or not, but General Qilin is different, he saw the soldiers surrounded, Immediately ordered the rest of the guards who rushed out to go first, and go to save the people himself."
"In the face of tens of thousands of horses, the Qilin general is riding alone, not looking at the Huns at all, a few Huns who are scared to kill no one dares to approach, seeing that they can't beat the general, the Huns began to put cold arrows to kill the general, and for a while they were tired of dealing with the general, including the war horse under his crotch, he was hit by several wounds, but after managing this, the Qilin general wearing arrow feathers was still as unstoppable as the god of war, as if he was not injured at all."
"Hey, I said this man, you said that Jiang Qi was fighting with the Huns at that time, according to the number of people on both sides, the battlefield should be a few miles, where did you see it at that timeγγγγγ" Just when people were listening to the enthusiasm, an unwelcome voice sounded, and I saw that on the second floor, a person in a brocade robe with a big waist and a round waist said disdainfully.
"This γγγγYes, I didn't see the scene at that time, but Gongzi can go and ask, who doesn't know the people at the border pass, Jiang Jiajun and Hu tens of thousands of horses fought for several days, the story of General Qilin riding alone and shooting Xu Gongming's single axe to ten thousand horses" was questioned, and the big man on the stage couldn't help but have a dark face, and then explained.
"Hmph, it's just a small win by using conspiracy and trickery, if you play upright, what kind of unicorn general, but a shameless person, do you say itγγγ" Listening to the rebuttal, the gentleman sneered and said with a sneer, and the meaning of the words was clear.
As the shrill voice in the private room became even worse, the people in the hero building who were listening to Jiang Qi's bloody deeds couldn't help but look at the provocative person angrily, but in the angry eyes, people noticed that although the man in the private room did not look as weak and polite, the fierceness in his body should not be what the Han people could have.
Just when the anger of the people was aroused, in another room separated from the wall from the Ya room, a pleasant voice like a yellow warbler came out: "This young master, I don't know if General Zhenbei offended you, why did you deliberately say wild words with a gun and a stick?"
"Who answeredγγγγγ" When he first heard the pleasant introduction, he turned his eyes and looked back.
Just in the midst of curiosity, the room that made a pleasant sound was gently opened, and then a girl walked out with a silk skirt, and the girl came out of the room The moment the eyes of the people she saw lit up, and the girl was even more as if she had been struck by lightning, and she didn't even notice that the wine cup in her hand had dropped.
I saw that the girl was about twenty-eight years old, with a face like a goose egg face, eyebrows like green feathers, skin better than snow, and a tall figure, but she was such a girl who captivated the country and the city, but she had a sense of arrogance on her body, which made people dare to watch from a distance and not blaspheme.
However, just when everyone admired the beauty, when they saw the beauty's hair that had been pulled up and inserted in two steps, they couldn't help but regret that the good dishes were arched by pigs.
But just when people regretted the beauty who was already a woman, the gentleman seemed to have no scruples, and when he got up, he made a clumsy bow and said: "I have seen this beautiful young lady in Xia Liu Leopard γγγγ", and after speaking, he couldn't help but look up and down the girl's bumpy body in a daze.
"Bold, the people in the mountains and wilderness there dare to be rude to my young ladyγγγγ" Seeing the other party's overflowing eyes, the maid who followed behind the beautiful girl couldn't help but step forward and reprimand.
Shocked by the sudden coquettishness, Liu Bao couldn't help but retract his blocked gaze, and as his gaze flowed, Liu Bao had to sigh that there were so many Han beauties, and any maid was more beautiful than those sturdy women on their grassland.
Yes, Liu Bao is no one else, he is the eldest son of the Huns who are now Shan Yu Fuluo, this time he accompanied his uncle Zuogu Liwang Hu Chuquan to envoy to the Han Court, today there is nothing Liu Bao took his subordinates out to drink and go shopping, feel the terroir of the Han people, I don't want to hear the Han people discuss the most shameful thing about their Huns, but in the provocation of the words, I accidentally found a beauty who touched the bottom of my heart.
As for whether the other party coiled his hair and said that he would marry someone else, they Huns didn't care about this, let alone just marrying someone else, on the grassland, it was his father and brother's Que family, and they might become his pillow people in the future.
"You're not Hanγγγ looking at each other's unscrupulous eyes, the smart girl looked around at his companions, and when she saw their rude movements under their Han clothes, she immediately guessed.
As the girl guessed, a spirited person behind Liu Bao immediately said: "Little lady, you are lucky today, you have been taken by our little king of the Great Huns, let's go, go back to the embassy with our little king, maybe our little king will be happy to crown you as the Que clan."
"You are the Hunsγγγγ" As soon as she heard the other party's words, the girl and her maid were shocked, and immediately took a few steps back, obviously showing that the Hu people still had some deterrent power in the hearts of the Han people.
With the discoloration of the two girls, the people in the restaurant who were watching the development of things heard each other's identities, and when they saw Hu Ren appear, they were still listening to Jiang Jiajun's killing of Hu just now, and the people present who shouted to kill Hu Gou were stunned, even if the blood was boiling just now, no one really dared to kill Hu at this moment.
