105. This is really a series of dizzying performances
Li Shushi is busy making final preparations before the relocation. Let's not discuss this for now. Let's go back and continue talking about the war in the northwest. To be more precise, it is the series of losses caused by the war in the northwest.
A jaw-dropping story.
I mentioned earlier that there is a shortage of people in the northwest. To what extent is the shortage of people?
Originally, the troops used by the Han Dynasty to conquer the barbarians and quell the civil strife mainly came from three aspects: the first was the Northern Army from the central government, the second was the troops under the governors of various states, and the third was the mercenaries of ethnic minorities.
Now the troops of the Bingzhou governor have been beaten to pieces by the Xianbei people, and the Yizhou governor is dealing with the endless rebels who claim to be the successors of the Yellow Turban Army in Yizhou, and it seems that they are of no use.
As for those foreign mercenaries, Danyang in the south is too far away from the northwest. Even with Liu Bei's foot power, it took more than thirty years to run from the northeast to the southwest. So by the time the Danyang soldiers arrived in the northwest, it is estimated that Chang'an could have announced changes.
The flag has changed.
The Banchen barbarians in the southwest, who are known as "capable of fighting the Qiang people head-on", have also become ready to take action due to conflicts with the local governor and some rumors. It is estimated that if they are recruited to the northwest, they will probably be killed halfway.
The land of Yizhou was turned upside down. So it seemed that the only people left who could be used to make up for the manpower gap were the Wuwan people from the northeast of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, some people in the DPRK proposed that the court hire high-paying Xianbei people who had been torn apart on the grassland as a new breed of mercenaries to join the battle to quell the Northwest Rebellion.
However, this proposal was quickly rejected by the imperial court. After all, compared to the Wuwan people who had cooperated with the Han for hundreds of years, the Xianbei and the Han were obviously at war most of the time, and most of them
Officials in the imperial court believed that compared to the Wuwan people, who had been assimilated a lot into Han culture, the Xianbei people were obviously more cunning and could ignore integrity for the sake of practical gain.
Although one of the four most famous mercenaries of the Han Dynasty has rebelled (Huangzhong Yicong), one is wavering (Banzhenman), another is hesitant (Karasuma Yicong), and another is also ready to move (
Danyang Shanyue), but as long as they have not taken action, their credibility is still enough to guarantee. Besides, the Karasuma people also played an important role in the Battle of Yanmen.
Therefore, in order to show the importance of this matter, the imperial court sent Zhang Wen, the captain of the dynasty, to Youzhou to deal with the matter.
There is a war to fight, and there will be generous rewards after the battle. For the Karasuma people, this is obviously a very good deal, so Zhang Wen's trip to the Northeast can be said to have been smooth sailing at the beginning. But right after
When he was about to complete his mission and leave with his troops, the unfortunate Han Empire finally fell into another deep pit.
"Master Taiwei, Chun was born in the border area since he was a child. He thinks that he has experienced no less wars than anyone else, and he has made many contributions in the battle against the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He has enough experience, ability and martial arts to control those
The unruly Wuwan people. Please consider it carefully, Taiwei, and make up your mind to live up to His Majesty's expectations and make contributions to Your Majesty in Liangzhou."
Li Shushi's story has affected many people. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, he has become a Chinese version of an inspirational movie - he has almost no background, and even "went astray" for a time, but in the end he became a hero.
A shining "star" on the Han Dynasty's frontier fortress also did a good job as a prefect, and could be called a "good official".
"Give me a fulcrum, and I will be able to leave my own achievements in youth history." This may have become the motto of many people.
And now, as the Prime Minister of Zhongshan, Zhang Chun is personally witnessing these inspiring words.
With the help of Qi Chou, the Lieutenant of Karasuma School, and Liu Yu, the Governor of Youzhou, Zhang Wen, who came to Youzhou to recruit mercenaries, soon obtained 3,000 elite Karasuma soldiers. These soldiers were all veterans of the Long Yu Campaign.
There are only three thousand, but as long as they are used properly, they are enough to turn the tide of the battle on the battlefield. Zhang Wen is very happy for such results.
However, the greater the ability, the greater the temper. If such a strong army is not led by a strong commander, many military discipline problems will easily occur. Therefore, the choice of commander is something that must be done carefully.
.
Of course, Zhang Wen, who knew the stakes of the matter, would not make such a low-level mistake.
Considering that these Wuwan people are all from Youzhou, Zhang Wen naturally tends to choose a Youzhou person to be their chief officer. This will not cause any big problems in terms of communication and customs. This is also the result of
The result of enough historical experience and lessons. It was full of dark history that made Zhang Wen feel that what Geng Bi did was nothing compared to those dark histories.
However, Zhang Wen is from Nanyang and has never held the official position of county magistrate or prefect in Youzhou, so he is not familiar with the people in Youzhou. Tao Qian did serve as the governor of Youzhou, but that was more than ten years ago.
The people he was familiar with were either hiding from the world, had grown up, or died young, and he was completely blind to the younger generation.
Based on this situation, Zhang Wen entrusted this matter to Gong Qichou and Liu Yu, hoping that the two people who were familiar with Youzhou Junjie could recommend some talents. Compared with Zhang Wen from the capital, these two people should obviously
more qualified for this task.
What Zhang Wen didn't expect was that such good intentions would eventually turn into trouble, and its influence would not be completely complete until Dong Zhuo came to power, no, or rather until Yuan Shao unified the north.
As the captain of Karasuma, Gong Qichou can be regarded as a qualified soldier, and this time he was recommended to lead the reinforcements to the northwest, so he was naturally more inclined to look among those young officers, and finally chose
Gongsun Zan, a native of Liaoxi Lingzhi who was serving as the Cavalry Commander at that time, was an old friend of Li Shushi, a senior brother of Liu Bei, and was quite famous among foreigners.
Gongsun Zan is a fierce general. This can be seen from the fact that when he was the magistrate of Zhuoxian County, he led his private soldiers and powerful coalition forces in the county to go north to support Yuyang and Guangyang County to resist the foreign invasion with Zhang Jiao's rebel army.
He is a brave guy. In the past few years in Youzhou, he has fought against aliens nearly a hundred times, large and small.
Although the soldiers who often follow him are out of ten, they can inflict greater losses on his enemies. The Hu people near Youzhou call him "Gongsun Madman", and some even compare him with the one in the northwest.
Dong Zhuo, who was also accustomed to face-to-face charges, which resulted in a very high casualty rate among his soldiers, was compared to Dong Zhuo and was nicknamed "Crazy in the West and Crazy in the East".
Regarding the candidate proposed by Gong Qichou, Zhang Wen thought it sounded very good. Although the relationship between Zhang Wen and Dong Zhuo was not very good, and it could even be said that Dong Zhuo looked down on him, he still recognized Dong Zhuo's military capabilities.
Talent. Now that he heard about a character whose style was very similar to Dong Zhuo, Zhang Wen naturally subconsciously identified him as the leader of the reinforcements.
However, Liu Yu had different opinions on this candidate.
Well, just like the line dispute that broke out in history between Liu Yu, the highest official of Youzhou, and Gongsun Zan, the highest military commander. Although there is no direct affiliation between the two people, Liu Yu, who believes in the soft policy,
It would be really ridiculous to be able to fall in love with Gongsun Zan, who believed in an iron-fist policy or even a light policy.
Of course, because the two people are starting from the prerequisite of the interests of the big man, so although the two sides have quite a bit of criticism about the other's actions, they are not in the same situation as they were later, and they even have a negative attitude toward each other.
For two people now, when they meet, they may nod to each other, smile and say hello to each other.
So power is really scary, even the greatest tolerance can corrode into deep-seated hatred.
Although the two people will not be embarrassed because of their disagreements for the time being, even Liu Yu recognized Gongsun Zan's military talent and Gongsun Zan also recognized Liu Yu's political achievements, but when it came to this expedition to the northwest, Liu Yu felt that
Liangzhou has already
After experiencing the Geng Bi Rebellion, what is most needed now is not a purely military victory, but a simultaneous suppression and pacification. Although Gongsun Zan did an impeccable job in "suppression", he was so weak in the word "fu".
Basically, apart from coercion, there is only strong coercion.
However, the proposal to directly refute Gong Qichou not only offended the Colonel Karasuma, but also made Gongsun Zan the rising star. Of course, Liu Yu, who had superb political wisdom, would not make such a mistake, so he
The news was revealed to Zhang Chun, a tribesman who was serving as the state minister in Zhongshan, through Zhang Ju who was unemployed in Yuyang, and asked him to come to Zhang Wen to fight for the position of general.
Of course, Liu Yu did this not because he chose Zhang Chun to oppose Gongsun Zan, but because he really felt that Zhang Chun was much more suitable than Gongsun Zan.
As Zhang Chun himself introduced, the Zhang family is considered a powerful person in Youzhou. They have often fought with foreigners on the border. Zhang Chun’s experience in commanding troops is not bad. The most important thing is that Zhang Chun is good at literature and martial arts, and can mount a horse.
Fighting and dismounting can govern politics. Therefore, in Liu Yu's eyes, Zhang Chun was obviously more suitable than Gongsun Zan, a pure martial artist who only knew how to fight.
It's a pity that Zhang Wen may be an M. He doesn't like Zhang Chun, the "family member" who came to him on his own initiative, but he praises Gongsun Zan who, like Dong Zhuo, doesn't give him a good look, and chooses against all opinions.
Gongsun Zan.
Therefore, Zhang Chun, who had a high self-esteem but was severely beaten by Zhang Wen, was completely blackened under the instigation of Zhang Ju, a fellow member of the same clan.
By the way, Zhang Ju once served as the prefect of Mount Tai, and he can be regarded as a guy who is capable of literary and military skills. Although he is not as good as Zhang Chun, he is willing to fight as Zhang Chun's deputy general because of his self-awareness. It is better than staying at home.
Nothing to do. Zhang Wen rejected Zhang Chun and also rejected Zhang Ju, so naturally he would not say anything good to Zhang Wen.
Of course, there would be no problem if it was just a powerful rebellion. It would be just an appetizer for Gongsun Zan and the three thousand Karasuma Yicong before departure, to hone the cooperation between the generals and soldiers. At most, it would be more for those Karasuma people.
Just property.
But maybe Gongsun Zan's daily actions are too strong, or maybe because the Zhang family has a very close relationship with the Karasuma people, anyway, most of the Karasuma followers who had already negotiated the price have become "unjust" people.
.
Of course, Gongsun Zan would rather believe that this was because of the emergence of a rumor - the so-called "revelation of the truth" about this election event.
How much money did Gongsun Zan pay in bribes to Wuwan Colonel Gong Qichou? What about the upright and just governor Liu Yu expressed his unwillingness to join in the conspiracy and recommended Zhang Chun? What about foreign officials from the capital being deceived? What about the upright and just Liu Yu being made angry with shame?
Gongsun Zan threatened that Gongsun Zan should be punished with death for his heinous crimes, and other such remarks became rampant.
Although Gong Qichou, Liu Yu and even Zhang Wen all said that they had not done any bad things to Gongsun Zan, Liu Yu's secret disclosure of the news to Zhang Chun was still exposed. However, in Zhang Wen's view, this was
His actions were just a manifestation of sharing worries for the country, but in Gongsun Zan's eyes, it was obviously not a good thing.
Therefore, Zhang Wen, who originally planned to mobilize troops from Youzhou, finally had to ask the court to send more troops to Youji.
