Chapter 141 Return to Luoyang Three days later, Liu Han led his army back to Yanmen Pass, and when he went south to Xianbei, he was not only wiped out, but also almost wiped out.
Xu You narrowly escaped death and returned to Luoyang after several days. Yuan Wei also received the information brought back by Xu You early and cursed Xu You as a waste! But to be honest, I really don’t blame Xu You for this. After all, he is a Han. The Xianbei people are extremely hostile to the Han because of Liu Han. The fact that they can follow Xu You’s strategy is the result of Xu You’s efforts.
Otherwise, fighting against the three subordinates will only lead to a faster and more complete defeat.
"So, King Hejian's army defeated the Xianbei cavalry from the front?"
"Exactly."
From Xu You's mouth, Yuan Wei got an even more unacceptable piece of information, that is, Bingzhou's army had become a force that could no longer only passively defend, but a strong army capable of riding on the grassland.
At this moment, Yuan Wei was actually afraid of Bingzhou.
Seven days later, while the army was resting and reorganizing, news of the six-hundred-mile rush reached Luoyang again.
The court shook!
The crisis in Liangzhou was relieved, but the emperor personally admitted that the Bingzhou army annihilated [-] Xianbei troops in Liangzhou and Bingzhou in one month, and then led the army to burn Danhan Mountain again, which turned into a white field.
"This battle is all based on the strategies of the generals and the orders of the three armies. The king of Hejian has sent orders, and everything he has said has been approved. In addition, Zhu Gui, the governor of Youzhou, and Guo Quan, the prefect of Daijun, have all agreed to beg for bones.
Gongsun Zan, the county magistrate of Zhuo County, was ordered to move to the acting prefect of the county, and Guo Xun was moved to be the governor of Youzhou. "
Guo Xun?
All the ministers were puzzled, why is this person?After all, this man's brother was Guo Hong, the governor of Liangzhou. He had been greedy to share military exploits with Duan Fen, and delayed and stopped Duan Ying's army from uprising Qiang had been fighting for too long and missed their hometown, so they all Hong put the blame on Duan Ying, who was therefore arrested and imprisoned and sentenced to hard Qiang pirates became more rampant, captured camps, and colluded with each other to disrupt various counties.
After thinking about it for a while, I realized that Guo Xun is a younger brother of the Guo Quan clan, and they are both from the Guo family in Yangqu. Now the Guo family in Yangqu has completely surrendered to the King of Hejian, and the Duan family from Guzang has also surrendered to the King of Hejian. Guo Quan and Zhu Gui are at the same time There is nothing fishy about becoming an official, so who would believe it?
The governor of Bingzhou is King Hejian, and the governor of Youzhou is Guo Xun. At the same time, King Hejian also has military power in Youzhou. Your Majesty is helping King Hejian in charge of Youzhou in disguise! Although the Yangqu Guo family has lost a lot by taking sides, it has also gained a lot. As long as this person is here, the Yangqu Guo family will not decline.
But this time, the court was surprisingly quiet, and no one jumped out to object.
dare not!
The Bingzhou Army fought hard against Xianbei in this battle, and the combat effectiveness it showed really scared the Luoyang nobles. Originally, everyone was pessimistic about Liangzhou. The Qiang people were in rebellion, and they were afraid of another big storm during the Ming Emperor's period. The court began to prepare for Liangzhou. The state emptied its treasury, but this man suppressed the Qiang rebellion in a month and saved a lot of expenses.
Therefore, as the emperor, Liu Hong was naturally happy to hear about this. With such a reliable brother in the border area, it was natural for him to add some burdens.
At this time, Zhang Rang whispered in Liu Hong's ear again. The information came from the old housekeeper Liu Yi, "The King of Hejian is injured, and the Queen Mother wants him to return to Luoyang today."
"what!"
Liu Hong was also startled and asked hurriedly: "Is it serious?"
Zhang Rang reported back: "It's nothing serious. I heard that He Lian slashed his left arm with a knife, and then burned Danhan Mountain for three days and three nights with the wound."
Zhang Rang reported, but his expression became more and more strange. With many years of dealing with the King of Hejian, it is really possible for that person to do this!Therefore, Zhang Rang always adheres to the principle that he would rather make His Majesty angry than make the King of Hejian bear a grudge.
Liu Hong also breathed a sigh of relief, and then he laughed dumbly. He had the same idea as Zhang Rang. He had the temper of his younger brother. He would retaliate when he had a grudge, retaliate on the spot, retaliate and repay tenfold! Helian wounded him with a knife, turned around and burned the Xianbei people's hometown.
I thought back then I was just angry at him for being naughty when he was young, so I gave him a tickle that hurt him for three days. The kid turned around and set a trap for himself, and was bitten all over by a wasp. This is still vivid in his mind! "Pass an edict, ordering the King of Hejian to return to Beijing today to report on his duties, and to return to Bingzhou after the Shangyuan Festival." (The record of lighting lanterns in Shangyuan Festival is very early, as far back as the Han Dynasty. On this night, lanterns were lit to commemorate Taiyi God (Pole Star). Jun). According to the "History of Monks", Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty introduced the custom of "appreciating lanterns in the twelfth lunar month" from the Western Regions. The dark day of the twelfth lunar month in the Western Regions is called the Great Divine Change, and lanterns are burned on that day to represent the Buddha. After this custom was introduced to China, it gradually developed into "appreciating lanterns" .) # Jinyang.
Liu Han received a letter from Luoyang.
It doesn’t matter what the emperor’s brother Liu Hong is, it’s mainly the mother’s. Looking at the angel delivering the message, Liu Han asked weakly: "Well, I'm still feeling a little unwell alone. Can I not go back?"
The angel looked at this young ancestor and shook his head helplessly. It is estimated that among today's big men, this is the only one who dares to discuss with the Queen Mother Yizhi.
Looking at the angel's serious expression, Liu Han knew that he couldn't run away this time, mainly because he felt guilty for his mother. He must have been worried about her to death because he was injured, so he rushed six hundred miles and ordered himself to go back.
"Which one has a bad tongue and is snitching behind his back? Don't let me find out, otherwise... whips, candles, and tiger stools! Humph! I'll kill you!"
Liu Han remembered that he had repeatedly given orders in the army not to spread the news about the injury, but it was still spread. "It seems that there are people from the emperor's brother in the army."
This time, Liu Han thought wrongly. He thought that the emperor knew about the injury first and the Queen Mother knew about it, but in fact it was just the opposite.
At this moment, Liu Yi, who was arranging the servants to pack the luggage, sneezed several times in succession, "Why do I have a bad feeling?"
Liu Han was going to Luoyang, so he had to make arrangements for his subordinates.
"Things are still the same. The first is the army. The army suffered a lot in this battle. There must be no mistakes in the issue of pensions and retirement. Similarly, the souls of those who sacrificed their lives for the country in this battle will be entered into the Heroes' Shrine. According to the injuries, arrangements will be made for the dead and wounded in Liangzhou and The dead and wounded in Youzhou will be treated the same as I am in Bingzhou, and this matter will be left to the public."
"Here."
"The people lost by the army must be replaced in the coming year. This time we brought back a lot of good things from Danhan Mountain. Except for those that cannot be moved, everything else was handed over to Gongyou. He has a way to turn these into what we need."
"Here."
"In addition to the above supplies, the distribution of war horses, cattle and sheep will be handed over to Shiping. Except for the army, all others will be given to the people of Bingzhou. Lights and plows will also be made at the earliest and handed over to the people in the next spring."
"Here."
"Gongren is already familiar with the matter of resettling refugees. There are many refugees in winter, but there are not many Han people in the western counties, especially Xihe County, so they can move here."
"Here."
"The rest of the people's livelihood and government affairs were left to Gong Yu and Yuan Hao. Guo Quan was old, so he was brought in to help, but he only had the right to make suggestions, not decision-making. The governor of Youzhou is not so easy to get."
"As for the army, there are Duan Shi, Ziyi, Han Sheng and Gongming in training, and there are talented people in combat deployment."
"Here."
"As per the old rules, I will take the three thousand Yulin Guards back, and Jun Yi and Zilong will follow."
"As ordered!"
