Wan Shi, who was accompanied by Xian Yufu, was unconvinced and said: "It's not that we want to be enemies with the big man, it's that the big man wants to starve us to death, forcing us to rebel. Qu Shuai is a capable person. When we took refuge in him,
He just relied on a small valley to feed us, and he never thought of rebelling.
Commander Qu knew that the north of the Han Dynasty was going to be in chaos. In order to avoid the war, he wanted to take us south to Jingzhou, but he didn't expect that you corrupt officials were so hateful. You took a fancy to our Commander Qu's treasure car and actually wanted to kill people and seize the treasure.
This made our Commander Qu get so angry that he led tens of thousands of refugees to kill Zhao Yi, and then he was hunted down by the prefect of Wei County, which forced us to rebel!"
Xian Yufu listened helplessly to this. The deeds of Lei Gong were widely circulated throughout northern Xinjiang. Firstly, it was because Lei Gong was so powerful that he defeated 100,000 Xianbei people. Although he was a traitor, everyone admired him for defeating the Xianbei people and protecting the people on the border.
Deeds.
The second is that Zhao Yi, who forced Lei Gong to rebel, is Zhao Zhong's cousin. Now the eunuch party and the noble gentry are fighting fiercely. As Zhao Zhong is the leader of the eunuch party, the things he does will of course be widely spread among the noble gentry. Xian Yufu is a little bit dissatisfied.
I have said that some of them have never heard of it, but now that I heard the people around Lei Gong talking about the truth back then, Xian Yufu wanted to tear Zhao Yi into pieces. Such a hero was forced to rebel by the eunuchs! If it weren't for Zhao Yi
With these righteous actions, Jizhou would not have been in turmoil for so many years.
Xian Yufu also said: "We, Governor Liu, also hate corrupt officials!"
Wan Shi ridiculed: "I don't believe that all corrupt officials in the world are in the same group! I have never seen an official who is not corrupt!"
However, Xian Yufu said angrily: "Our governor is stationed in Youzhou to guard the border and open a market to appease the Hu people. We have high prestige among the Xianbei, Wuhuan, Fuyu, Haoqian and other foreign tribes. The Hu people pay tribute at any time and do not dare to intrude. We protect them."
The safety of the people of Youzhou, the people of Youzhou spread songs to praise the merits of our governor, but you actually said that he is a corrupt official!"
After hearing this, Wan Shi said: "According to what you said, this governor is a good official, but the entire Han Dynasty is corrupt. What's the use of having a good official as your governor? Look, there has been no rebellion in Jizhou over the past few years. If everyone
Who wants to rebel if he can live?"
Xian Yufu was really speechless. Jizhou has been in constant turmoil in recent years, and it was all caused by corrupt officials step by step!
Then Wan Shi took Xian Yufu to the governor's house in Mayi!
Xu Wei, Zhang Baiqi, Old Man Wang, and Old Man Niu all came over to see what the envoy of the Han Army wanted to say!
Xian Yufu came to the governor's house, looked at Xu Wei who was sitting high, and said slowly and without haste: "Xian Yufu is working in the governor's house of Xiayouzhou, and I want to pay my respects to Commander Lei Gongqu."
Xu Wei asked curiously: "You are engaged in the governor's office in Youzhou? Are you not an envoy sent by the Luoyang court?"
Xu Wei thought he was an envoy from the imperial court, but he didn't expect that it was the governor of Youzhou. Could this matter in Mayi be related to Youzhou?
Liu Yu had gone too far. If someone really came to appease him, it would have been Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, who sent someone to come!
Xian Yufu said calmly: "Although Qushuai occupies Mayi in Bingzhou, it is actually closer to our Youzhou and can affect us Youzhou more. A few months ago, Qushuai defeated the Xianbei people, and his prestige increased greatly. Bingzhou
I don’t know what the situation is, but we in Youzhou are trembling with fear, fearing that Qu Shuai will invade Youzhou and make the people of Youzhou miserable. None of this is what Liu Fujun wants to see, so Liu Fujun asked Fu
Come to Mayi to discuss recruitment with Qu Shuai!"
Xu Wei said calmly: "I have heard of Liu Yu's reputation, and he is considered a rare good official among the Han Dynasty. But I was in Mayi and discussed with a Ji Youzhou governor about the use of recruitment, and we agreed with the court.
Will you listen to Liu Yu!"
Yu Fu was startled by these words, and he immediately said: "Our governor can be a bridge between Qu Shuai and the court. Our governor and Qu Shuai are also neighbors. After getting along with each other for the past two years, our governor knows that Qu Shuai is not a person."
He is a person who likes war, but he has a strategic hero in his heart. The loss of his commander is a loss for the court, but if he succeeds in recruiting him, he can realize his own ambitions. Isn't this a matter of mutual benefit?
Zhang Baiqi sneered: "The last person who talked about recruitment has already fought a battle with the imperial court, and now he has fled to the Taihang Mountains. You have also killed a state pastor. With such sincerity, I am afraid that when we give up the sword in our hands,
What we will be greeted by is massacre by the Han army!"
This is talking about Zhang Yan, who intended to recruit him, but ended up in the end he did now. Zhang Baiqi is also reminding Xu Wei, because he is worried that Xu Weizhen will be recruited by the imperial court.
Compared with Zhang Yan, Xu Wei's occupation of Mayi was not a big deal to the court. These territories were originally planned to be abandoned by the court. Xu Wei's presence isolated the Xianbei people, which was not a big deal for the court.
is a good thing.
Judging from Xu Wei's actions in the past few years, as long as no one takes the initiative to attack Mayi, he will not attack others, but will continue to build sites such as Mayi. In Xu Wei's words, Mayi is surrounded by
Several counties are too busy, so they have time to occupy other territories!
Xian Yufu immediately shook his head and said: "We don't have this idea. The barbarians on the border of the Han Dynasty are powerful. We, the governor, hope that Qu Shuai will be as powerful as possible, so that we can reduce the pressure on our Youzhou defense!"
Xu Wei almost laughed when he heard this. With just 100,000 soldiers, Liu Yu couldn't sit still. If he really sent out 300,000 soldiers, Liu Yu would probably stay in the military camp.
Old Man Wang sneered and said, "You officials are all good at lying. I won't believe anything you say!"
Old Man Wang has been oppressed by corrupt officials for half his life, and he no longer believes what any official says.
Old Man Niu also followed up and said: "Old man has heard of Liu Yu's reputation and said that he is a good official who serves the country and the people, but the old man knows that what you think of as a good official and an official who is good to us people are completely different things. Jizhou
Wang Fen is not what you would call a good official, and his reputation is even greater than that of Liu Yu, but what did he do in Jizhou? He helped the noble gentry seize the land of hundreds of thousands of people, and forced these people to rebel with Zhang Yan again.
.This is the virtue of a good official in the imperial court. I don’t believe what you say!”
Xu Wei was surprised to find that none of his men agreed with Zhao'an. Only then did he realize that Old Man Wang and the others were at the bottom of society and had been oppressed by corrupt officials. After coming to Mayi, they not only survived, but also
After becoming a respected steward, he naturally did not want to be ordered by the imperial court. He did not want to change his current life, and he was also worried that Zhaoan would be oppressed by imperial officials in the future!
As for Zhang Baiqi and the others, the hatred of the Han Dynasty was as deep as the sea. Their parents, relatives, relatives and friends were all killed by the Han army. Zhang Yan wanted Zhao'an in the first place, so they left the Yellow Turban Army and came to Xu Wei. If
If Xu Wei also ordered An, Zhang Baiqi and the others would definitely leave Mayi!
At this time, Xu Weicai discovered that everyone in Ma Yi did not want his current life to be disturbed, nor did he want to be ordered to peace.
Fortunately, Xu Wei had no intention of Zhao'an. Zhao'an was impossible. He clearly realized that he was taking a low-level route. If he asked the court for peace, his heart would be broken. Even the thieves of the Celestial Dynasty knew the heart of the people.
After they break up, it will be difficult to lead the team! Xu Wei naturally knows that too.
Now the treatment of Xu Wei and others is not much different from that of other tribesmen. The big difference here is that the gap between the officials of the imperial court and the common people is hundreds of times. In fact, the highest income in Mayi is already more than ten times higher than the lowest, but these
People make money based on their abilities, so everyone will only envy these people and not be dissatisfied with them.
So now the atmosphere in Mayi can be said to be united and positive, the entire Tengjia Army group is full of vitality, and everyone can see the hope of a happy life here in Mayi.
But if Xu Wei and others accept the imperial edict and become high officials, there will be a gap in everyone's mind. You can get promoted and make a fortune, why can't I make a little money? And as long as the management of Ma Yi really starts to move.
He only wants to make money for himself, no matter how strict Xu Wei monitors him, it will be useless!
As long as a hole is broken in many things, it will be like a dam bursting, unable to stop it at all, just like the Celestial Empire.
But Song Jiang also told Xu Wei what happened after Zhao'an. He remembered that Zhao Zhong was still with Emperor Ling, and Xu Wei was worried that even if Zhao Zhong made a glass of poisonous wine, he would poison himself!
So after Xu Wei thought for a long time, he found that Zhao'an was harmful to Mayi, so he said: "There is no need to talk about Zhao'an. Since I raised my army, as many as 20,000 to 30,000 of my tribe have died in battles with the Han Dynasty."
, if the imperial edict is passed, these soldiers who died in the battle will not rest in peace under the Nine Springs, and I cannot exchange their blood for my official position!"
Zhang Baiqi and the others were moved when they heard Xu Wei's words, and felt that they were not with the wrong person.
Xian Yufu also admired him and said: "Qu is handsome and righteous, but the deceased is dead, and we living people still have to look forward!"
Zhang Baiqi sneered and said: "Looking forward, it is even more unacceptable to accept the imperial edict. Now no one in the imperial court rebelled in that year. No one with insight can see that the imperial court is about to die. Wouldn't joining the imperial court at this time be asking for death?
! Moreover, the three princes and nine ministers in the imperial court are all nobles. We have killed so many nobles in Jizhou, they will let us go!"
Xian Yufu wanted to continue talking, but Xu Wei said: "Needless to say, our Tengjia Army will not issue orders, but I am not a murderer. I can promise Liu Yu that as long as both sides guard the border,
, I won’t send a single soldier into Youzhou! The county of Mayi is enough to protect the people behind us. If you don’t come to attack us, I won’t attack the big man!”
Xian Yufu smiled bitterly when he heard this. This kind of verbal assurance is of no use at all!
He could only return to Youzhou to report to Liu Yu in despair, and reported all the scenes he saw in Mayi to Liu Yu, and then concluded: "If the thunder god of Mayi joins the imperial court, he can become a ruler of the world."
A capable minister, but if he joins the rebels, he will become a hero in troubled times. With him, the entire three states of Northern Xinjiang will be in turmoil. The court still has to find a way to accept Lei Gong and make him a member of the court! Otherwise, Northern Xinjiang will be in turmoil.
We will always be under threat from the Tengjia Army!"
Liu Yu could only smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty saw that the Xiliang rebels and the Jizhou rebels were defeated, and the Han army was once again invincible, so he thought that Lei Gong was nothing more than that, and gave up the idea of Zhaoan Lei Gong, and instead sent former general Dong Zhuo
Bringing 30,000 Xiliang troops to support Bingzhou, it seems that they want to completely wipe out the Tengjia army!"
Xian Yufu was surprised and said: "Sir, Lei Gong can defeat 100,000 Xianbei people. It should not be underestimated. Although the former general Dong Zhuo has experienced hundreds of battles, he may not be Lei Gong's opponent with just this small force!"
The Xianbei people forced the Youzhou frontier army to defend themselves. They didn't know how strong the Xianbei people were. Xian Yufu didn't know how powerful Dong Zhuo was, but he knew that Dong Zhuo had no record of defeating 100,000 Xianbei people.
The strength of the Tengjia Army that can defeat the Xianbei people can be imagined. If you really want to wipe out the Thunder Lord in Mayi, it is impossible to succeed without more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. And now the court only mobilizes Dong Zhuo's 30,000 horses. This is not for
Thunder Lord sends you the battle achievements!
Liu Yu smiled bitterly and said: "I originally thought that before the imperial court decided to eliminate Lei Gong, we could find a recruitment plan that satisfied both parties, but now it seems that what the Jizhou clan did to Zhang Yan has made Lei Gong and others doubt the credibility of the imperial court. This year
Another war is inevitable, and the people of Youzhou will suffer again!"
If a fight breaks out, the imperial court will definitely mobilize Youzhou's troops, but Lei Gong is not easy to defeat!
When Liu Yu was distressed that he could not prevent a war.
In Youzhou, there was a storm in Qingping. Suddenly, there were rumors everywhere in Youzhou that Liu Yu and the Thunder Lord of Mayi were colluding with each other, so the Thunder Lord would rather hit a powerful pass like Yanmen Pass than touch the counties of Youzhou. It is said that
Every time Liu Yu colluded with Lei Gong, he always sent Xian Yufu, who said he had noses and eyes.
But Liu Yu actually asked Xian Yufu to go to Mayi some time ago. This is no longer clear. Liu Yuzhi resigned to prove his innocence!
Emperor Ling, who lived in Luoyang, did not believe these messages. Not only did he refuse Liu Yu's resignation, but he also promoted him to Zong Zheng, one of the Nine Qings.
What happened in the past two years has made the Ling Emperor happen. The nobles and nobles cannot rely on it. The eunuchs are loyal, but they are a group of wastes who have little success and more than failure. But this time it was discovered that Liu Bei, who defeated Zhang Yan, was actually a clan member of the Han Dynasty. This
An idea came to Emperor Ling's mind. The nobles and nobles were unreliable and the eunuchs were useless. Why not promote his own people? If there was a clan force in the court, wouldn't it be possible to suppress the noble nobles? So Liu Yu became the first
Lucky man!
In the fourth year of Zhongping (187), spring!
The land in the north finally begins to recover, and there are birds singing and flowers blooming everywhere!
On the road to Bingzhou, an army of 30,000 people kept advancing with a murderous intent!
Dong Zhuo sat on his horse in Xiliang, looking coldly at the boundless road, with waves of murderous intent flashing across his face.
Although Dong Zhuo is nearly fifty years old, his years of fighting on the battlefield have kept him strong and strong. No matter who sees Dong Zhuo, they have to give a thumbs up and say, what a big man from Xiliang!
But at this time, he was not in a good mood. He had spent most of his life fighting in Xiliang. His relatives, friends, disciples, and old officials were all in Xiliang. He even had friends among the rebels. It can be said that in Xiliang, he Dong Zhuo
Friends are all over the world, otherwise why was it that in the Battle of Xiliang, the imperial court and the rebels fought fiercely, with more than 100,000 casualties on both sides, but his men did not suffer much damage, just relying on the skill of repeatedly jumping horizontally with one hand.
But after finally repelling the rebels in Xiliang, the court did not give them any reward, and actually let them continue to attack the rebels in Mayi without repair. He did not want to leave Xiliang at all.
Coolness is like a fish in water, but going to Bingzhou doesn't mean that the fish in the water left the river and came to the land.
But he did not dare to disobey the court's orders. He originally wanted Zhang Rang to intercede with him, but Zhang Rang told him that if he was unwilling to go to Xiliang to quell the rebellion, the court intended to make him Da Honglu, one of the Nine Qings.
.
This frightened Dong Zhuo. He spent his whole life fighting on the battlefield and never wanted to leave his soldiers, especially if he had to give up his military power and become one of the nine ministers in name only.
Dong Zhuo is very self-aware. In Xiliang, he has a former general with a heavy army, but when he goes to Luoyang City, who will recognize him as a Xiliang barbarian?
He had made great achievements and became a Taiwei, but he was not fooled to death by the Guandong people. Therefore, Dong Zhuo was absolutely unwilling to give up military power. He could only obey the court's order and lead his men to Bingzhou.
Do the officials in the imperial court just dance around on the map? Do they know how far it takes to walk from Xiliang to Mayi?
"General, you said that after annihilating the Thunder Lord this time, can we also be granted the title of marquis?" Guo Si asked in a low voice.
He is from the northern county of Xiliang. He has been in the army for many years. Although he has many military achievements, Dong Zhuo did not have any connections at that time and could only become a captain. Naturally, he could not be promoted. He had been a military commander for more than ten years. He thought that
This has been the case all my life, but I didn't expect that Dong Zhuo would climb into the power of the eunuchs and make them eunuchs. Not only did Dong Zhuo's official position rise rapidly, but those of his subordinates also finally began to rise in official positions. Guo Si took advantage of this
Following this trend, he became the captain of the school with 2,000 shi. Guo Si himself was brought about by Dong Zhuo, so he was loyal to Dong Zhuo.
"Is it so easy to become a marquis? A general is just a thousand-household marquis. I'm not greedy. I just want people to call me a general before I die, even if it's just a general with some unknown title!" Fan Chou said excitedly.
He is a native of Jincheng, Liangzhou. Xiliang's tough style has given him strong martial arts skills. He has also been a military Sima for more than ten years. He originally thought he would retire and become a county captain in Xiliang to end his life. But he was still criticized.
Under Dong Zhuo's influence, he became a captain with a salary of 2,000 shi. He was already very satisfied with his current official position. Now he just wanted to be called a general!
Niu Fu on the side smiled and said: "You all have to thank my master. If he had the ability, we would never want to be a captain of two thousand dan in our lives. I heard that the thunder god of Mayi was very rich, and the entire Jizhou was robbed by them."
Well, if we capture Mayi, even if the court does not grant a reward."
Niu Fu, a girl from Wuwei County, was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. When Dong Zhuo brought a dozen brothers to conquer the world, Niu Fu's father was one of them. Unfortunately, he died in the battle later. Dong Zhuo kept Niu Fu there.
He raised him as his own son, and when he became an adult, he married his eldest daughter to him so that he could be trained in the army. Step by step, he became one of the six major captains in Dong Zhuo's army, and he was deeply loved by Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo looked at his soldiers and snorted coldly: "You have fought a few battles one by one, and you don't know how high the sky is. You all want to destroy the rebels, achieve great military exploits, be granted the title of marquis, and become a general.
It's a pity that you have all forgotten who achieved your military success. It was the lives of the brothers Paoze around you who were exchanged for their lives. How many deaths do you want them to have in Bingzhou? I will give you a general and a marquis!"
Li Su asked strangely: "General, this Tengjia Army was also a member of the Yellow Turban Army before. We also fought against the Yellow Turban Army. Although they are not afraid of death, their fighting power is extremely poor. Our 30,000 soldiers are enough to defeat 100,000 of them."
!”
Li Su was a native of Wuyuan in Bingzhou. He was tall, heroic, gentle and capable in both civil and military affairs. He was one of the few educated people among Dong Zhuo's army, so he was always incompatible with other generals. However, he was very powerful. Even though he was rejected by other generals, he still became Dong Zhuo's hero.
One of the six major captains in the army.
Dong Zhuo looked at them angrily and said angrily: "One or two of them didn't even know how strong their opponents were, so they just hit them. You regard them as military achievements, have you ever thought that they also want to use your brains to go further? Then
Lei Gong can defeat 100,000 Xianbei people and kill 40,000 to 50,000 of them. You have been fighting for half your life, who can do this!"
Dong Zhuo continued angrily, "I still want to make meritorious service and become a general or a marquis. Do you know what I think?"
"I just thought that I can take you to Bingzhou today and bring you back from Bingzhou next year. Is it easy for us to have such a small army? If we really listen to the court and kill all our subordinates, how will we gain a foothold in Xiliang in the future? You also
Imagine being like Han Sui Bianzhang, who was forced to rebel with a knife on his neck!"
Niu Fu was surprised and said: "Is Lei Gong really that powerful?"
Dong Zhuo said coldly: "I have fought all my life, but I have not defeated 100,000 Xianbei people in total, and chopped off the heads of 40,000 to 50,000 Xianbei people. But Lei Gong did it in one battle. You think he is not powerful, but he is really
If you beat the yellow turban thief among the Thunder Lords, you will be desperate! Do you really think that the Xianbei people are ant thieves who can be defeated easily?"
After Dong Zhuo said this, they thought of the power of the Xianbei people, especially in Xiliang's generation.
Yes, although I don’t want to admit it, the Xianbei cavalry is indeed powerful. Even their Xiliang cavalry is no match.
"I'm telling you, when you get to Bingzhou, you should be careful with me one by one. Don't break away from the large army. If you have anything to do, let the people from Bingzhou go first. Don't let them say anything, just believe whatever they say!"
Just kidding, how many Youzhou border troops and Bingzhou border troops were trapped by Dong Zhuo in Xiliang to save others by himself. He believed that the military leaders of Bingzhou would also want to use their 30,000 Xiliang soldiers to help him achieve success!
