3-51 All sentient beings after the war is pacified
As soon as King Qin returned to the palace, the young eunuch who accompanied him came over and whispered in his ear. The prince threw away the reins of the horse and quickly came to the courtyard where the guard commander Zhao Ziqian lived. As expected, Zhao Ziqian had already hung up his seal and left. The official seal given by the prince was
All the gold, silver, and fines were left behind, and all that was taken away was the sword.
Looking at the empty room, King Qin was full of emotions. From the beginning to the end, people were helping him. If the people of Xiliang were determined to march eastward to Chang'an, Zhao Ziqian could do great things based on his position. It would not be impossible to coerce himself and cooperate with the inside and outside to capture Chang'an.
It's possible, but people didn't do it, it was just a
He wanted to help him eradicate Fenyang Marquis, who had a serious problem in his elbow and armpits, and help him defeat the enemy. Although the method was a bit rough, the only way to eradicate Lu Zhen and his family and army was to attack with troops.
If I try to slowly fight with Lu Zhen based on my own ability, I'm afraid it will be in vain in ten years.
Seeing that the prince was in a daze, the young eunuch said one more thing: "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to chase him?"
The King of Qin was furious: "What are you chasing after? He who retreats will always be the commander of the guards of my Prince Qin's palace. Before he comes back, the palace will only have a deputy commander!"
…
The once prosperous Yuchi Mansion has become a withered grass and withered poplars. The cracks in the stone slabs in front of the door are covered with weeds. There are two seals on the door. After Yuchijia escaped, the Fenyang Marquis Mansion sent a letter to the Chang'an Mansion.
All businesses of the Yuchi family were seized, goods were confiscated, and the family home was sealed. The Yuchi family, which had been prominent for hundreds of years, suddenly collapsed. The relatives fled in all directions, hundreds of tiger guards fled, and the family leader Yuchi Guang also absconded.
Today, an old man with gray temples stood at the door of Yuchi Mansion. His tall body was still upright. His plain clothes could not hide his calm and sophisticated demeanor. Behind him, there were dozens of capable men standing upright. No one spoke, everyone was talking.
Silently looking at the seal on the door.
"Open the door!" The old man's voice was calm and firm.
The two men stepped forward and tore off the seal and pushed open the door of Yuchi Mansion. A familiar scene appeared in front of them. The old man smiled slightly: "I, Yuchi Guang, am back again."
The sound of crackling firecrackers rang out, and two five-thousand-ring firecrackers exploded on the ground. With the sound, red confetti flew everywhere, Fenyang Hou was finished, and Chang'an Mansion withdrew the verdict against Yuchi's family, hiding in Chang'an Mansion for several months.
The long-lost Yuchi Guang is back, and the former Yuchi family will regain its glory!
In the past few months, Yuchi Guang led his Tiger Guards to go underground and accepted the dual leadership of the Xiliang Household Transport Department and the Military and Horse Statistics Department. The Yuchi family had secretly prepared dozens of hiding places. These people had great influence on Chang'an.
The terrain, the worldly manners and extremely familiarity, coupled with the secret assistance of Zhao Ziqian, the commander of the palace guards, are simply unrivaled.
The assassination of the two young masters of the Fenyang Hou Mansion was accomplished with the great assistance of Yu Chiguang. If only the two fierce men Ye Tang and Zhuo Ligetu could not do it so seamlessly, after this incident, Yu Chiguang finally understood
, the Yuchi family is really tied to Xiliang's chariot, and they can't get rid of the relationship even if they want to.
Yu Chiguang, who used to be extremely worried about his daughter's marriage, suddenly realized that he had always been worried that there were no suitable young talents in Chang'an City who were worthy of his daughter. There were a lot of good young men in Xiliang, all in their twenties.
Lang was still unmarried at that age, so no matter which man fell in love with a beautiful girl, it would be a good marriage and would be a great help to the Yuchi family's future.
It would be best if Mr. Yuan could like Jia'er. Yu Chiguang thought this way, and then smiled at himself. He was too greedy, so he let his daughter choose by herself...
The glory of the Yuchi family reappeared. All the merchants in Chang'an City quickly received the news, and soon they were busy again. Although the goods and money of the Yuchi family were gone, the merchants were keenly aware of the possibility of a comeback for the Yuchi family, and expressed their willingness to
Sponsoring mules, horses, camels, vehicles and personnel, as well as goods and capital, is enough for the Yuchi family to travel.
Who doesn't know that Yuchi's family has been doing business on the West Road for hundreds of years, and now that the border trade with Xiliang has reopened, profitable business is coming. Taking advantage of Captain Chi's family can get twice the result with half the effort.
…
In the Governor's Yamen, almost all the senior officials in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces since the King of Qin have been sitting here. They are discussing how to report to the court. They have been fighting for more than two months, not only losing troops and generals, but also killing a marquis.
The matter is serious and I have to report it.
The commander of the Xiliang Army marched straight into the city of Chang'an. During the Great Zhou Dynasty, he lost many troops and annihilated 6,000 Gansu troops and 40,000 Shaanxi troops. Even though the provincial armies of the two provinces were crippled, a large hole was broken in the Chang'an city wall. The losses were heavy.
Extremely.
But what is gratifying is that the Xiliang army did not harm the local area. They traveled across the state and provinces without committing any crimes. They did not steal food, arrest husbands, or massacre local officials and soldiers. It can be said that in addition to the losses to the army, the local losses in Shaanxi and Gansu were also
It can almost be ignored that the few cases of killing civilians were found to have been committed by the fleeing Shaanxi army.
The important thing is that the Xiliang people finally retreated without occupying an inch of the Zhou Dynasty's territory. This gave Liu Songpo and others the opportunity to make a fuss and turn defeat into victory. Not only was there no fault, but it was also meritorious!
Liu Songpo's wonderful writing is full of flowers. The officials of Shaanxi and Gansu, including the King of Qin, have all formed the same camp. It can be said that everyone is prosperous and everyone suffers. If this battle is defeated, no one will gain anything. If the battle is won, everyone will be rewarded.
Chance.
The imperial court is unwilling to fight and has no money to fight. The Mongols from Mobei are fleeing south at random intervals. This is the emperor's biggest headache. As for the Xiliang, Xixia, and Qiang people who are suffering from scabies, the emperor has already given instructions.
The main focus should be on nurturing, and the supplement should be on suppression. After all, these are horse-producing areas, and the court hopes to buy horses from these places. If the relationship is not good, no one can take advantage.
Anyway, there is little news these days, the sky is high in the northwest and the emperor is far away, and the war is over. Everything is true. Liu Songpo, the main author, wrote a eloquent memorial of tens of thousands of words, describing the friction on the northwest border in the 16th year of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Please pay attention to the wording of the incident. The war is written as friction. This is Liu Songpo's brilliance.
Liu Songpo did not mince words about the ins and outs of the incident. The people of Xiliang admired Tianwei and sent an envoy to Beijing, but they were pushed back and forth by various departments. On the way back, they were humiliated by the Marquis of Fenyang, and the Xiliang barbarians turned into foreigners.
, in anger, we raised our swords and soldiers, our army and people of Shaanxi and Gansu, fortified the wall
Clearing the countryside, luring the enemy deep into the city, and encircling them under the city of Chang'an, Fenyang Hou was in a disadvantageous position, and unfortunately died in battle alone, which was considered a well-deserved death. After Fenyang Hou died, the King of Qin took over the command and reversed the decline in one fell swoop.
Afraid of it, he returned in vain.
This large-scale friction was caused by the inaction of some yamen in the capital. It worsened and broke out because of the disadvantages of Fenyang Hou's subordinates. The subsequent defeat of the war was also the responsibility of Fenyang Hou. Anyway, the bad things were blamed on the dead, and all the credit was taken.
Mine.
In this incident, there were two people who made the most contributions, one was Fan Liangchen, the governor of Gansu, and the other was His Royal Highness the King of Qin. Governor Fan stood firm in Lanzhou, which gave the enemy no worries. The King of Qin turned the tide and took up the important task after the death of Fenyang Marquis.
Planning strategies and repelling powerful enemies is quite like a father. With the King of Qin guarding the northwest, the Great Zhou Dynasty has no worries.
Moreover, in the subsequent negotiations, King Qin impressed the people of Xiliang with his extraordinary demeanor and domineering spirit. He was convinced by reason and moved by emotion, so that they were sincerely convinced and agreed to make peace with the Zhou Dynasty and open up negotiations.
Through trade and the sale of war horses at fair prices, this was another great achievement of the King of Qin, which solved the problem of horse administration in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
I have to admit Liu Songpo's level. It is not an exaggeration to call it a miracle. He wrote about a great defeat as if he had made a great contribution. Anyway, everyone carried the sedan chair, and officials from all over Shaanxi and Gansu were willing to sign the memorial.
.
As for His Highness the King of Qin, he wrote another secret memorial to his father in handwriting. The content was relatively plain and true, but the main tone was the same as Liu Songpo's memorial, claiming that this was a great victory, not a defeat.
…
Late at night, at the Yushi Xingtai Yamen, Meng Yeluo looked at the piece of paper in front of him with an indifferent expression. He didn't have much pen and ink, but he truly described the victory or defeat of the war. His words were neutral and his expression was true. Almost all the Shaanxi-Gansu army
The army was destroyed and the land of the two provinces was lost. Only the two provincial cities of Lanzhou and Chang'an survived. The Xiliang people voluntarily retreated after achieving their goal.
After reading it again, Meng Yeluo used the seal, but it was not the official seal of the supervisory censor, but another small gold seal...
…
At the east gate of Chang'an, a middle-aged man dressed as a foreigner looked at the ancient city with mixed feelings and tears. The boy beside him whispered: "Master, it's time to leave."
The middle-aged man nodded and climbed onto a Bactrian camel in the camel team. The camel bell rang melodiously and he set off against the morning glow in the sky.
A gust of wind blew by, and the fox tail next to the middle-aged man's hat floated back, and the place where the ears used to be was just a bare piece. Yes, he was the bereaved dog - Lu Shubao, the third young master of Fenyang Hou Mansion.
On the day Fenyang Hou died, the old lady went with him. In such a big family, four people died in a row, and no one could bear it. The third young master was originally an incompetent person, and now he is even more panicked. Liu Songpo deceived him
, sent his father out of the city to die, but did not protect Fenyang Hou's family at all. The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the Fenyang Hou Mansion collapsed instantly.
Thousands of hectares of fertile land outside the city were confiscated, and dozens of shops in the city could not be saved. The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law broke up the family, fought, and set up carts to transport valuables to their parents' homes. The servants and maids also secretly stole some small items.
, Lu Shubao's concubines squandered their private money and returned to their respective families. Some got married, and some returned to the world of prostitution.
Lu Shubao has too many enemies. Those who want to kill him can be lined up for miles. Yuchi Guang has already announced that he will buy his head for ten thousand taels of silver. Fortunately, the second brother helped Lu Shubao for a few friends in the underworld.
He disguised himself, sneaked out of Chang'an, and went into exile.
Looking back again at this city that had brought me infinite beauty and brought me endless pain, the former frivolous and arrogant young prince seemed to have aged ten years, and a tear welled up from the corner of his eye.
