In June of the third year of Jiafeng in the Han Dynasty, the Ouyang Zhuan Rebellion came to an end. In mid-April, Ouyang Zhuan was captured alive by Emperor Xiao's troops, which actually declared the failure of the rebellion. The Yan Kingdom that Ouyang Zhuan ambitiously established only existed.
It was declared destroyed in just two months, and the maximum number of 300,000 troops under his command were wiped out in an instant.
Liu Ling left Qingzhou in late May and returned to Taiyuan Prefecture with the Shenzhan Camp north. Previously, Hu Tinghou Liu Mao led the Yingzhou soldiers to take the first step, and Fuyuan Army Commander Du Yi left Feng Fubo to lead 5,000 troops to clear out various counties.
The remnants of the bandits also returned to Yuzhou with most of the Fuyuan Army. During this period, Meng Hu, General Meng Hu of the Great Zhou Dynasty Youwei, led his army to attack Tanzhou. The Fuyuan Army faced off under the command of Mao Yuan, the deputy commander. The two sides fought.
There were losses in more than a dozen battles, big and small. After Du Yi returned to the army, Meng Hu led his men back to Jinzhou.
Du Yi also smiled bitterly at Meng Hu's move, which he knew was impossible to capture Tanzhou but was just to disgust people. In fact, Meng Hu himself also understood that the 20,000 new recruits of his Right Guards would never do it.
It poses a threat to Tanzhou. In any case, there are nearly 20,000 Fuyuan troops stationed in Tanzhou now. It is still a tough battle to use 20,000 new soldiers against 20,000 veterans. If Menghu can win, it will be the rebirth of Le Yi.
He is just here to cause trouble for the Han army. Aren't you busy suppressing the rebellion in Gyeongju? Then I will go to your border to cause trouble, so that you can be distracted from the front line while dealing with the rebels. This is completely a petty petty grudge.
In a child's mind, it is truly speechless for a famous general like Meng Hu to do such a thing.
Nowadays, the distance of less than 200 miles between Tanzhou in the Han Dynasty and Jinzhou in the Zhou Dynasty has long been depopulated. The desolate appearance does not look like the land of the Central Plains, but is clearly the desert wasteland in the northern Saibei.
These two hundred miles or so are the buffer zone for the war between the two countries. The two sides have trained many times and are less than two miles apart. The flags of confrontation can be seen in the distance. Sometimes when they curse each other so hard that they can't hold back their anger, both sides will send hundreds of people to fight.
When the team fights, no matter how fierce the fight is, no one will take the initiative to use a knife or a gun. The anger has almost subsided, and the people on both sides return to the formation with bruises and swollen faces. When the two sides fight, they often wave flags and shout on both sides.
There were more than ten times the number of people fighting. The generals on both sides tacitly refused to stop such behavior. Both Meng Hu and Du Yi understood that if the soldiers on both sides did not find something to vent their anger, they would sooner or later
A greater disaster is coming.
Liu Ling returned to Taiyuan Mansion a little late, and did not catch up with the important event of killing more than 600 members of Ouyang's family outside the gate of Taiyuan City. These more than 600 people included the family members of Ouyang Zhuan in Qingzhou, and others who planned to raise troops to respond to his cousin Ouyang's family.
Ouyang Ming, the dedicated governor of Huaizhou County, and his family. Ouyang Ming, a foolish man who had no soldiers under his command, went to Jianxiong Army to borrow troops. Luo Sanshui, the general of Jianxiong Army who stayed in Huaizhou to garrison, pretended to agree. Before Ouyang Ming returned to his home,
Hundreds of soldiers from the Jianxiong Army had already come to arrest people on Luo Sanshui's orders. Unfortunately, Ouyang Ming was still daydreaming about tearing the earth apart and becoming a king, so he was put in shackles and shackled and escorted to Taiyuan.
Also included are the Ouyang brothers who serve as county guards in two other states. These two county guards are even more miserable. They have no soldiers and are far away from Gyeongju. Although they are willing to help their brothers rebel, they unfortunately do not have the strength to respond. The ones in charge of armaments
The county magistrates were not of the same mind as them. The magistrates in these two places couldn't stand the domineering Ouyang family. As soon as they heard the news about Ouyang's rebellion, they immediately arrested their immediate superiors and then sent heavy troops to escort them to Taiyuan.
Mansion.
More than 600 people knelt next to each other and were sent out for nearly a mile. Pei Hao, the Minister of Punishment, personally supervised the execution. When the time came, Pei Hao threw out the token before the cannon sounded. More than 600 people were sent out, kneeling next to each other.
A human head fell to the ground, and a new batch of headless ghosts appeared in the underworld.
When Liu Ling returned to Taiyuan, the outside of the city gate had been cleaned, but whether it was an illusion or not, Liu Ling still asked about the pungent smell of blood. This smell was different from the smell of blood on the battlefield, and it contained a sense of desolation and helplessness.
It should be more intense. Since ancient times, those who succeed are princes and those who lose are thieves. Liu Ling does not sympathize with the Ouyang family's experience, but there is too much helplessness in his heart. He will not feel sad for the Ouyang family like a woman, because he understands that if they fail,
He is from the Liu family, and I am afraid that he must be among those kneeling outside the gate of Taiyuan City and being beheaded.
When they arrived in Taiyuan, Liu Ling went to the palace to meet Emperor Xiao, and the two talked for a long time. Liu Ling reported the current situation of Qingzhou Prefecture to Emperor Xiao, mainly about the eradication of bandits and the resettlement of victims. Feng Fubo led
With 5,000 elite soldiers in Gyeongju, the remaining rebel bandits could not succeed. Emperor Xiao was left in Gyeongju to deal with the aftermath, mainly to appease the people and find ways to restore vitality to the devastated counties of Gyeongju.
It was unprecedented for him to act as a county magistrate as a second-grade official. From this time on, Zhou Yangong was given the humorous nickname "Tailor". This meant that he was just like a tailor.
, just leave it to him to mend any holes in the clothes. If the holes are too big to be repaired, he is also capable of making a new fitting suit as soon as possible. From the time he was recommended by Liu Ling to enter the imperial court
Since then, he first helped several military ministers with some minor matters in the military aircraft department, and was regarded as a half-disciple of Lu Sen and others. Then he went to Xixia to ask for help, came back to local disaster relief, and then led an army to put down the rebellion. After the rebellion ended
He also acted as the county governor to protect the local area, which can be described as an all-rounder.
But everyone knows that once Zhou Yangong does two more beautiful things in Gyeongju, it will be a matter of course for him to actually enter the military aircraft department. Although Zhou Yangong has been walking in the military aircraft department before, he is a commoner after all, and he usually helps
Lu Sen and others would copy and write by hand, or come up with ideas and so on. This time, when they entered the military headquarters, they would be worthy of the name as the core figures of the Han Dynasty.
When Liu Ling returned to his home from the palace, it was already around 11:00 in the evening. He was more tired after working for one day than fighting for three days. If Liu Ling had his temperament, he would rather lead an army to train outside.
He didn't want to deal with trivial matters in the court. That's why he admired his second brother. If nothing else, just reading the hundreds of memorials every day would bore him to death. Reading memorials, reading memorials, etc.
It is as simple as just reading the memorial. There is often some very important information hidden in the memorial. From it, you can deduce the true thoughts of the adults and then make the correct treatment. This alone is enough to turn a person's hair gray.
Liu Ling likes to be in the local area rather than staying in the capital. If possible, he would like to exchange with Zhou Yangong. As an imperial envoy, he can walk around, see the local customs, and experience the taste of life. It is best to find a
It was much more comfortable to train with three to five thousand soldiers in a good place. It was much more comfortable to have nothing to do with a group of warriors, drinking and boxing than with those civil servants. He even envied Sun Shubao, who was appointed by Emperor Xiao to be the governor of Huaizhou County. Although Huaizhou
It's not big, and the power of the county governor is really limited in such troubled times, but at least he won't be upset by those literati who are arguing with each other.
Fortunately, Emperor Xiao gave him a ten-day holiday, so he could finally sleep comfortably for a while.
When he arrived at the door of his house, the housekeeper Lao Wu and the servants of the palace were waiting for him at the door. Liu Meier and the little maid Minhui kept looking at the street hand in hand. When they saw the prince appearing on a tall red lion,
, the two little maids couldn't help but smile with joy and shed tears. Because Huasanlang was lent by Du Yi to train new soldiers, Zhao Er also went to Yingzhou Mansion to help Liu Mao, and Liu Ling only brought a few dozen relatives when he came back this time.
Soldiers. As for Pan Jinlian, who accompanied the army on several expeditions, she was regarded as a heavenly being by Feng Fubo and stayed in the Fuyuan army to help him suppress bandits.
It is worth mentioning that Pan Jinlian is the first female captain in history among the few heavy armored infantry in Han Dynasty. She is in charge of a hundred heavy armored infantry, and those strong and heavy armored swordsmen are
There was no one who was dissatisfied. That day in Zhuma County, it was Situ Zhengcheng, the brigade leader, who led the heavy armored infantry on the left wing to defeat the Yan army's cavalry. However, after the heavy armored infantry brigade leader on the right wing died in the battle, it was Pan who took the lead.
Golden Lotus is the heroine.
In the battle of Zhuma County, Pan Jinlian killed dozens of enemies. After the heavy armored infantry brigade leader Zheng Hui died in battle, she resolutely stood at the front of the team, proving with her strong strength that a woman can still wield a heavy Mo Dao to kill enemies.
, and he is not inferior to those tall and thick men at all.
Old Wu tremblingly walked over and took the reins of the red lion, wiped his tears and said, "My lord, you are back."
Liu Ling smiled and said, "I'm back."
Looking at Lao Wu's wrinkled face with dissatisfaction, Liu Ling felt sour in her heart. No matter how far away she goes, home will always be the warmest place.
"It's okay, haven't I come back intact? Why are you crying, Old Wu?"
Old Wu wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "As we get older, we shed tears when the wind blows in. Come into the house quickly, I have asked my servants to boil hot water to wash away the dust all over the prince's body."
"Your Majesty..."
Liu Meier screamed, her nose became sore and tears flowed out again. Over the past few days, she had heard that the number of rebel rebels was more than ten times that of the official army. Today they hit Fengning County and tomorrow they will hit Zhuma County. Each one of them can fly high in the clouds and mist.
Killing without blinking an eye. She knew that these rumors were unbelievable, but she was still uneasy and couldn't sleep. Sometimes she heard rumors that Liu Ling was defeated and died in battle. Although she pretended not to believe it, she couldn't calm down in her heart.
She finally waited until His Majesty returned to the capital to announce the victory. She knew that the Prince was safe and sound and had once again made great achievements. She felt at ease and looked forward to the Prince's early return. However, she waited and waited until His Majesty returned to the capital for ten days.
There was no news of the prince's return to the capital, and she was as restless as an ant on a hot pot.
Finally, early this morning, I heard that the prince had led his army into the city. Liu Meier's heart suddenly soared. She wished she could grow wings and fly to the street to see the heroic appearance of the prince returning to the army. But the street was crowded with people, and she was squeezed by the crowd.
As she walked, she couldn't see the shadow of the prince. Later, she saw the prince's back, but the prince went to the palace first. After returning to the palace, Liu Mei'er seemed to have lost her soul, and she hasn't even had a bite of food yet.
eat.
"Well, I'm back."
"I...I'm going to prepare food for the prince."
Liu Meier opened her mouth, then blushed, and ran into the yard like flying. Minhui saluted Liu Ling, then opened her mouth to say something, but she also blushed and said, "I'm going to help Sister Meier," and trotted away.
Disappeared into the yard.
Liu Ling smiled knowingly. When he went out, his family cared about him, and when he came home, he had hot water and rice. What could be happier than this? (To be continued)
