That night, Gao Fei held a grand banquet at the Prefect's Mansion, inviting Xun You, Tian Feng, Chu Yan, Bian Xi, Guan Hai, Yu Du, Sun Qing, and Pei Yuanshao to attend, and officially appointed Tian Feng as the chief administrator and in charge together with Xun You.
Liaodong government affairs.
After the banquet, Gao Fei found Bian Xi and asked Bian Xi some information about Goguryeo. He also got a general understanding of Goguryeo. He found someone who was good at cartography, drew a topographic map of Goguryeo, and marked it on the map.
Gao Fei also thanked Ouyang Yinying.
The next day, Gao Fei was fully clothed and rushed to Wangping County with Chu Yan, Guan Hai, Yu Du, Pei Yuanshao, Bian Xi and an army of 25,000 people, preparing to fight back against Xianbei's provocation. He stayed behind
Xun You and Tian Feng were jointly in charge of the government affairs in Liaodong, leaving Sun Qing to continue to be responsible for the security of Xiangping. As for the recruitment of talents, Tian Feng was given full authority to handle it. He believed that with Tian Feng's talent and reputation, he could definitely do it for him.
Get this done.
Although the army has been training for almost two months, they have never experienced a formal battle. This time Gao Fei brought them out without hesitation in order to let them experience a real war, which was a kind of training for this army.
practice.
As soon as the army left Xiangping ten miles away, Gao Fei stopped the whole army. He gathered together the five captains Chu Yan, Guan Hai, Yu Du, Pei Yuanshao, and Bian Xi, and ordered: "Chu Yan, Guan Hai,
Yu Du and Pei Yuanshao, the four of you will command the army. Chu Yan will temporarily serve as the commander-in-chief of the army and lead the army to Wangping. Bian Xi, please take a few people to Xuanpu County and ask the prefect of Xuanpu to send troops to support Wangping.
."
"No!" everyone replied in unison.
"Okay, let's separate!" Gao Fei clapped his hands and shouted immediately.
Everyone felt a little confused, and Guan Hai immediately asked: "My lord has handed over all the troops to us, so where will my lord go?"
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Wulongju can travel thousands of miles in a day. I want to go to the Liaodong vassal country to meet the Wuhuan people. I hope the Wuhuan people can send troops to help."
"Lord, are the Wuhuan people willing to help us?" Guan Hai asked.
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Our current army has no cavalry. We can only defend the city but cannot attack. We are very passive. If we can borrow a cavalry from the Wuhuan people, we may be able to reverse the entire battle. The Wuhuan people have already
I have joined the Han Dynasty, and I am also a part of the Han Dynasty. No matter what, I can't give up this power. It depends on people. Okay, let's split up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Fei got on his horse and shouted to Chu Yan: "You will kill all the army commanders along the way. You must lead this army well no matter what. This time is different from the past. You are not going to rob homes and homes, but to fight and fight."
Xianbei people are fighting, I hope you don’t make any mistakes along the way, otherwise, come and see me!"
Chu Yan was startled for a moment, then clasped his fists and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I trust my subordinates so much. I will never let down my lord's high expectations and will definitely bring this army to Wangping."
"Well, I believe you. Remember, after arriving at Wangping, I will hand over all the troops to Zhao Yun's command. Within three days, I will return to Wangping and tell Zhao Yun that if the Xianbei people attack, just hold on and don't attack.
." Gao Fei said loudly.
Chu Yan cupped her fists and said, "No!"
Gao Fei turned the horse's head, shouted loudly, and immediately galloped out on the black colt. In a blink of an eye, he ran without a trace, leaving only horse hoof prints on the ground.
The Liaodong vassal state is sandwiched between Liaoxi County and Liaodong County. The so-called vassal state is an administrative division established during the Han Dynasty to accommodate the Xiongnu, Qiang, Wuhuan, Yi and other minority ethnic groups who surrendered. Among the vassal states defined according to a certain geographical scope
, the "customs of the country" generally remain unchanged. The vassal state of Liaodong was originally the jurisdiction of the commander-in-chief of eastern Liao Dynasty. After the Wuhuan people annexed the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty ceded the jurisdiction of the commander-in-chief of eastern Liao Dynasty to Wuhuan.
The Huan people lived there.
The Wuhuan people are a branch of the Donghu people, and they belong to the Donghu people together with the Xianbei people. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Donghu people and the Xiongnu were relatively powerful. Later, the Donghu people were destroyed by the Xiongnu troops, and the Wuhuan people who belonged to the Donghu branch were enslaved by the Huns. Every year they must
Transporting horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock and skins to the Xiongnu. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he sent Huo Qubing to defeat the left side of the Xiongnu, and the Wuhuan people were freed from the fetters of the Huns. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty moved some Wuhuan people to Shanggu, Yuyang, and Youbeiping
, outside the five counties of Liaodong and western Liaoning. From then on, Wuhuan was close to the advanced Han agricultural areas, which provided favorable conditions for Wuhuan’s social and economic development. The Han’s demand for Wuhuan was mainly military, that is, Wuhuan was ordered to spy on the Huns.
Trends. Master Wuhuan met with the Han Emperor once a year. The Han Dynasty set up Wuhuan captains to protect and monitor them and prevent them from communicating with the Xiongnu.
The relationship between Wuhuan and the Han Dynasty was good and bad, but most of the time it was in a period of peace, at least much better than the relationship between Xianbei and the Han Dynasty. Therefore, in a sense, Wuhuan can be regarded as
Partners of the Han Dynasty.
Gao Fei rode his black horse, and after crossing the Daliao River, he briefly rested in Liaotui County where Pang De was stationed, and then rushed to the Liaodong vassal state alone. In the evening, he arrived at the Liaodong vassal state Wuhuan Lord Su Puyan
Changli City where it is located.
At this time, the relationship between Wuhuan and the Han Dynasty was a bit tense, because the leaders of Wuhuan tribes all claimed the title of king without the conferment of the Han Dynasty, and Su Puyan was no exception. He called himself King Qiao. Despite this, Wuhuan
He still maintained a distant relationship with the Han Dynasty, which also became a weight for Gao Fei to come.
As the sun set and twilight fell, Gao Fei rode alone to the foot of Changli City. The gate of Changli City was wide open. Although there were a few Wuhuan soldiers stationed on the city tower, they didn't care. Moreover, there were still Han people coming and going in Changli City. He didn't care either.
After much thought, he rode into the city, and sure enough, no one stopped him.
After entering the city, he asked the Han people in the city and found out the location of Prince Qiao's Mansion, and then headed straight towards Prince Qiao's Mansion.
Prince Qiao's Mansion is located in the center of Changli City. After many years of Chineseization, the Wuhuan people have gradually become accustomed to some of the lifestyles of the Han people. Some tribes outside the city still build domes. Everyone in the city lives in houses, and Prince Qiao's Mansion
It's also very luxurious.
As soon as Gao Fei jumped off the back of Wu Long Ju, he saw the Wuhuan guard standing at the gate of Prince Qiao's Mansion cast an envious look at him, looking at Gao Fei's Wu Long Ju.
Gao Fei ignored it, casually tied the black dragon colt to a pillar outside Prince Qiao's Mansion, and walked straight into Prince Qiao's Mansion.
"Stop! Who are you looking for?" Wuhuan guard saw Gao Fei approaching and immediately blocked his way with his body. His tall body was a head taller than Gao Fei and asked in very proficient Chinese.
Gao Fei immediately raised his hands and said: "I am the governor of Liaodong, and I come to see your king."
The Wuhuan guard immediately stepped away, pointed to the inside of the door and said: "Go straight, turn left and go to the end."
Gao Fei smiled at the Wuhuan guard. He didn't expect the Wuhuan people to be so kind. He was about to lift his legs and step through the door, but saw the guard blocking the way with his hand and pointing at the sword in his waist. He understood.
When he came over, he took off the sword from his waist, threw it to one of the Wuhuan guards, and then strode into Prince Qiao's Mansion.
Following the route told by the guards, Gao Fei encountered no obstacles along the way. Although there were guards stationed in the mansion, they only glanced at Gao Fei lightly and did not embarrass him at all. So, he quickly arrived at Su Pu
Where Yan was, there was no guard at the door, and the door was wide open. There was only a naked man inside who was wielding a machete.
Gao Fei walked to the door and immediately clasped his fists and said, "I'm the governor of Liaodong, Gao Fei, and I've met the king!"
Hearing Gao Fei's shout, the man in the room stopped. He turned around and glanced at Gao Fei standing at the door. He wiped the sweat from his face and threw away the scimitar in his hand.
When he reached the ground, he made a crisp sound, walked straight to the front seat, and then shouted: "Master Gao, please come in!"
Gao Fei stepped into the house. There was only a seat under Su Buyan's buttocks. The rest of the house was empty. There was a row of weapons placed against the wall, such as simple knives, long swords, scimitars, bows and arrows.
There were everything from long swords to meteor hammers. He immediately understood that this was a martial arts hall.
"What do you want from me?" Su Buyan said bluntly and straight to the point.
Gao Fei looked at Su Buyan, who was sitting in his seat, and saw that he had a straight-cut hair, a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a mustache, and a thin face. His naked upper body was covered with beads of sweat, and every one of them was thin.
The muscles are just right. At first glance, he looks like a muscular man.
Wuhuan people, both men and women, have long hair, so their hair is very short. Women can only grow their hair after they get married. This is their custom. Gao Fei naturally knows about this custom, so he doesn't care, and he looks at Su Buyan with a look.
There was such a sense of intimacy that I just felt like I was meeting a modern person.
Gao Fei saw that Su Buyan's tone was very cold and his eyes were full of disdain for him, so he immediately said loudly: "I am the grand governor of Liaodong, and I am the imperial general Anbei and the Marquis of Xiangping. Although the king calls himself
King Qiao, but the court of the Han Dynasty may not recognize this king. In terms of official rank, as General Anbei, I am two ranks higher than the king. Even as the governor of Liaodong, I am on an equal footing with the king. I have heard rumors for a long time.
The Huan people are hospitable, is this how the king treats guests?"
After all, Su Puyan lacked confidence. Although he claimed to be King Qiao, the entire Wuhuanjia could not compete with the Han Dynasty. This is why although the Wuhuan tribes in Youzhou all claimed to be kings, they still maintained an aloof relationship with the Han Dynasty. He
Seeing that Gao Fei was neither humble nor arrogant, he immediately walked down from his seat and said with a smile on his face: "I offend you, sir. Please forgive me. General, please follow me to the hall to discuss in detail."
Before Gao Fei came to Changli, he had already inquired about Su Buyan's character clearly. In addition, he knew a little about Wuhuan, so he formulated a strategy of using the majesty of the Han Dynasty to exert pressure. Su Buyan was a
Although he is a Wuhuan master from the Liaodong vassal state, his tribe is much worse than several other tribes. The Wuhuan people he notified are only about a thousand people. Compared with Qiuhuan who is also a Wuhuan people,
It is much inferior to being equal in power.
In addition, it is worth noting that "Luo" is an organizational structure of the Wuhuan people. Different from the Han household, it does not refer to one household alone, but to a commune composed of several or many households, that is, "Yi Luo"
", the organizational structure set up by Wuhuan people in Yiluo above the household, is subordinate to the "bu". Each Yiluo has its own Xiaoshuai, and hundreds of thousands of Luo belong to one group. The leader of the tribe is called the lord, and the leader of the Yiluo is called Xiaoshuai.
.Su Puyan is one of the Wuhuan people, and he is a Wuhuan master of the Liaodong vassal state. But what is certain is that the more than a thousand Luo Wuhuan people ruled by Su Puyan are definitely not just a thousand households of Wuhuan people.
But it is much higher than the 10,000 households of Wuhuan people.
Su Puyan invited Gao Fei to the reception hall of Prince Qiao's Mansion and ordered people to serve the horse milk wine used by Wuhuan people to entertain guests. He also put on some clothes and said to Gao Fei respectfully: "General, you have come all the way.
, I have missed the opportunity to welcome you from afar, so please forgive me, General."
Gao Fei looked stern and immediately raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. In fact, I have come here this time to discuss something important with you. This matter is related to your territory and the Liaodong County under my jurisdiction."
Life and death."
When Su Buyan heard that Gao Fei spoke so seriously, he immediately frowned, hurriedly walked down from the top position, came to Gao Fei's side, and asked hurriedly: "What did the general say?"
Gao Fei said: "Does your Majesty know that the Xianbei people have been wandering in the north for many days?"
Su Puyan nodded. Not only did he know, but he was also very clear. Although Wuhuan and Xianbei came from Donghu together, they had different affinity with the Han Dynasty. Moreover, the Wuhuan people often helped the Han to attack the Xianbei people, which was beneficial to the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, whenever the Xianbei people appear on the northern grasslands, the Wuhuan people will be very alert.
"This time the Xianbei people sent more than 10,000 riders, wandering near Wangping County in northeastern Liaoning. According to my speculation, these more than 10,000 Xianbei people are just part of them, and more Xianbei people are still to come. Now
The weather is August, and autumn and winter are about to begin. The Xianbei people will definitely go south and invade the counties of Youzhou. Last year, they invaded Liaodong, killed the governor, plundered the people and returned, so that the population of Liaodong dropped sharply. So, I will not
I will continue to sit back and ignore the Xianbei people. Now I have an army of 25,000 people, but they are all infantry. To deal with the Xianbei cavalry, they must be defeated by cavalry. I have heard for a long time that the Wuhuan cavalry is famous all over the world. I am here to express my gratitude to your Majesty.
Borrowing troops."
When Su Buyan heard that Gao Fei had gone around so much and found out that he was here to borrow troops, his face turned cold and he sneered. He sat down on the seat next to Gao Fei and asked, "Borrowing troops."
?A few days ago, Gongsun Zan, the captain of the Wuhuan School, recruited 500 cavalry from me. I only have a few hundred Wuhuan cavalry left. I lent them to the general. So who will guard me here in Changli?"
Gao Fei laughed and said: "Your Majesty rules Wuhuan for more than a thousand people, and its people are at least tens of thousands. Both men and women in Wuhuan are skilled bow and horse control people, not to mention protecting so many people from harm."
, there will definitely be a sophisticated army for protection. I dare say that the king has no less than ten thousand cavalry. If the king is willing to lend me thousands of cavalry, I will definitely use gold as a reward as a hiring fee. I don’t know.
