Chapter Ninety-Six: The World Has Been Decided
The world is not chaotic, and the world has been decided.
This sentence is not bad at all, the first major battle in the ten years of competition was Emperor Xiao's southern expedition to Shuzhou, and decades after the world was settled, the border of Shuzhou can still be seen in the beacon fire.
This barbarian rebellion first took shape as early as the nineteenth year of Taiping, but because the party strife in Lanhan intensified at that time, the imperial court failed to detect and respond in time. In the eighth year of Chengping, the barbarians of southern Xinjiang invaded Shuzhou, causing the situation in Shuzhou to be eroded. In the following year, the governor of the capital of the capital of the army was killed, and in the following year, the governor of the capital Wei Ban gathered the troops of the twelve main barracks of the four prefectures of Shaanxi, Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Huzhou, with a total of 120,000 troops to aid the front army of southern Xinjiang, and personally sat in Shuzhou to suppress the rebellion of the barbarians in southern Xinjiang.
The battle lasted until the end of the twelfth year of Chengping, and the two sides fought fiercely for nearly two years, and finally ended with the death of the barbarian general Qiang Liang in southern Xinjiang, and the barbarian emperor Jiang clan and the seriously injured Wujiao elder Zhu Jiuyin retreated to southern Xinjiang.
In the spring of the thirteenth year of Chengping, the official army of Daqi turned to attack under the leadership of Wei Ban, the governor of the capital, out of Shuzhou, advanced into southern Xinjiang, swept all the barbarian villages, the barbarians had to retreat again and again, and the turtle retreated into the 100,000 mountains, and in the fourteenth year of Chengping, Wei Ban led the army back to Shuzhou to recuperate, and Xiao Bai was also ordered to return to Beijing and began to take charge of the military department.
Since the fourteenth year of Chengping, there has been no major war in southern Xinjiang, and the scale of the subsequent wars is not large, but Wei Ban is still temporarily leading the position of the former army to the left capital of the capital to sit in Jincheng, Shuzhou.
In the blink of an eye, it has been the twenty-second year of Chengping, and Wei Ban has been in southern Xinjiang for eleven years, although he will return to Beijing every year for a while, but after all, it is not as good as sitting in the capital in person.
Wei Ban, as the first military attaché, is nominally in charge of the world's military power, but because of the five major left governors of their own system, if there is no express authorization from His Majesty, it is difficult for the governor to have the opportunity to personally lead the troops, and Wei Ban is already very old, and the old man is in front of him, this governor is in the pocket of others sooner or later, if nothing else, this war in southern Xinjiang, which lasted for eleven years, should be the last time he personally led the army, in fact, it is good, he started in the first southern expedition to Shuzhou, and the last battle was also given to Shuzhou。
At this time, the former military governor's mansion was very chaotic, maids, servants, and personal soldiers went in and out, and all kinds of household belongings were put on the carriage and sealed.
Maybe it's because people are old, they always like to remember the past.
Especially in Shuzhou, a suitable place for the elderly.
Wei Ban's parents died early when he was a child, and he lived with his uncle Wei Chi, who had a bad career because he offended Mr. Fu and Fu Chen in his early years, and later could only make a living as a staff member. And because Wei Chi was arrogant and arrogant, he was not in harmony with several masters, which made the uncle and nephew unbearable. It wasn't until they met Xu Lin, the governor of the Central Capital, that it came to work, not only was Wei Chi hired as a military adviser, but even Wei Ban was able to enter the Northwest Army. From this point of view, the Wei and Xu families are indeed world friends.

Later, Xu Lin was ordered by Emperor Zheng Shenzong to crusade against Emperor Xiao, and the army was defeated and surrendered, and Wei Ban became a man under Emperor Xiao in a daze.
But it was a troubled time, there were military exploits everywhere, as long as there was the ability, he was not afraid of not having the opportunity to get ahead, in that southern expedition to Shuzhou, he personally led 5,000 men and horses, risked death to steal over the Yin Ping, bypassed the heavenly sword pavilion, and connected the three cities, making the sword pavilion a lonely city, and finally could only open the city and surrender, which can be described as a war to become famous.
Since then, Wei Ban has begun to climb to the top step by step with a straight attitude, the chief military officer, the commander of the camp, the construction after the Northern Expedition, the strategy of Julu City, and finally the first battle of Dingding and Xiao Huang each led an army.
Especially in the first battle of Dingding, there were only two armies, one was led by Emperor Xiao himself, and the river was forcibly crossed from the front, and the other was led by him Wei Ban, and the two were forced by land, which was an honor that Lan Yu, Xiao Jin, Lin Han, and Xu Lin did not have.
Thinking of this, Wei Ban couldn't help laughing out loud, he once asked his uncle Wei Chi, why do those officials and old men always say what position they climbed up to when they were promoted? Uncle replied to him that because the official career is difficult, who can stand and walk up? Since he can't go up, he can only climb up.
Now he is an old minister of the two dynasties, because of the war in southern Xinjiang, he was also given the grace of the previous dynasty to sit down, but he has not returned to Beijing for a long time, and he has no chance to "go hand in hand" with Lan Yu.
It is said that people are inevitably a little childlike when they are old, Wei Ban now wants to say to his uncle who has long passed away, nephew, I just walked up, from the commander to the governor, with the military exploits step by step, although now that he is old, he can't walk, but he can still sit again, is it considered to give our old Wei family a glorious lintel?
Wei Ban leaned on the pillars of the pavilion, the warm sunlight fell on his body, drowsy, he slowly closed his eyes, thinking in his heart that after the future Zhishi, he would not go to the bitter cold place in the northwest, nor continue to stir in the muddy water of the imperial capital, it was good to go to the south of the Yangtze River, and Shuzhou was also good, it was a good place to retire.
Just when he was half asleep, someone whispered in his ear: "Wen Shuai, Wen Shuai." ”
There is an unwritten rule in the court of Great Qi, civil officials are called "Gong" or "Xiang", military generals are called "Gong" or "Shuai", Wei Ban, the words are written, so they are called Wen Shuai.
Wei Ban opened his eyes in a daze, and after seeing the person in front of him clearly, he rubbed his cheeks and said with a smile: "It's Shaotang, why are you here?"
The person who came was Sun Shaotang, the governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion and the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, who followed Wei Ban into Shu at the beginning, and stayed here for eleven years, and was regarded as Wei Ban's confidant.
Sun Shaotang said worriedly: "Governor, when you return to the imperial capital this time, although Your Majesty will give you the title of Taibao, but now the imperial capital is a place of right and wrong, and your body is not as good as day by day, I really can't rest assured." ”
Wei Ban shook his head and said: "This is all a helpless thing, after the battle with Zhu Jiuyin, I touched the dark wounds left by my youth, almost ten years, I haven't been able to get better than half a point, and I don't expect to have the day when I recover, besides, people don't rely on their muscles and bones to be able, and I'm not one of those great people who hide in the blessed land of the cave to seek immortality, and at this age, it is reasonable that my body is not as good as that of a person." ”
Sun Shaotang said helplessly: "Then I will go back to the imperial capital with you." ”
Wei Ban glared at him and reprimanded: "Nonsense, after I leave, you will be the acting governor of the former army, how can you leave your post without His Majesty's will?"
Sun Shaotang stopped talking.
Wei Ban softened his tone and said: "The left capital of the Chinese army is the governor of Qu Chang'an, the left capital of the left army is Zhang Wuxi, the left capital of the right army is the governor of Qing, the left capital of the rear army is the governor Yu Kuang, plus you, the former military left capital governor Sun Shaotang, the five major left capital governors are all together, as long as you wait for a new capital governor, Your Majesty's several arrangements will be completely completed, so this time I must return to the imperial capital, exchange the position of the capital governor on my body for a Taibao, and then retire with Lan Xiang, the Taishi, and replace the old with the new person, this is the best ending." ”
