Before Liu Bei's army arrived in Meiji, the Hun soldiers in Meiji had already stirred up a stir for him. After all, Liu Jia made a big splash when he assassinated Helian Fanmo, and he called his husband "Zhen Chanyu".
", this word spread in a short time, and the Huns princes believed it, so they paid special attention to Liu Bei's return to the royal court this time, and privately called him "Han Shanyu".
Liu Bei knew nothing about this. He only wanted to quickly put down the rebellion. However, compared with the previous army, the army he led this time was quite different. This time Liu Bei reorganized his troops in Taiyuan and gave up a large number of light cavalry.
, turned to follow Sun Jian, and reorganized the heavy infantry in large quantities. This of course does not mean that there are no cavalry in the army. There are 10,000 cavalry accompanying him. They are all Xianbei cavalry that Chen Chong sent a message to let him recruit in Yanmen.
.
During the autumn harvest season, the sunset is particularly beautiful and red, falling on the continuous treetops of the mountains. There are many places where the crops have not been harvested, and some crops have dried up in the fields. In recent days, the Xiongnu people who are not participating in the war have
Everyone has heard that a large army is coming from the imperial court, and a large army is coming from Taiyuan. The two sides are expected to fight a big war in Meiji. If they fight together, what good outcome can ordinary people have? Moreover, the name "Chanyu" really evokes a lot of people.
It was a bad memory, so they all hurriedly moved away, avoiding the road, and went to the mountains and fields, so the harvest of the crops in the fields was delayed.
But there are still some people who stayed. They all witnessed Liu Bei and Chen Chong leading their troops into Meiji. They persuaded the people around them that General Zhonglang's troops would not disturb the people, and they also made an agreement with the various tribes. This shows that it is indeed
Love the people as sons. Most of the tribesmen were quite suspicious, because they heard that the Baibo people in the south rebelled because they were forced by Mu Shou. They would rather believe it or not, so they all hurriedly evacuated. p>
At this time, a group of fleeing tribesmen, in the afterglow of the setting sun, in the smoke and dust on the road, in the gradually thickening twilight, drove their usual herds of sheep to the north from a distance. They happened to be
They bumped into Liu Beijun's forward and couldn't escape, so they had to leave the road and stand in the field. They came from an unknown motley crew. It was already dusk, and the children had long been crying because of running around, and the elderly were also there.
Groaning from fatigue, the war two years ago appeared before their eyes, and they couldn't help but feel sad.
This group of tribesmen wanted to see the passing army, but they did not dare to look directly at them. Their eyes were full of fear, surprise and curiosity. What they were afraid of was that they did not know whether their flocks would be confiscated and they would not be able to spend the winter this year.
What was surprising was that they had never seen such a neat team before. When they passed by, they did not do any terrible things to them, nor insulted them, nor even gave them a fierce look. Because they were surprised in their hearts, they could not bear it even more.
Observe this team secretly with curious eyes.
They saw several armored generals in the team, riding on horses and pointing towards the south. Behind them were banners with the word "Liu" and the word "Han". There was a man in the middle with slender arms and a slender face.
He had a short beard and a calm appearance, and was silent among the arguing generals. They recognized it: this was the general who was protecting the Huns! He was also Mei Lu's second-ranked husband. The Hu people winked at each other, but no one dared
Speak.
After a while, the surprise of the Hu people became even deeper. It turned out that a large number of cavalry began to appear in the passing team, but they were not ordinary cavalry. These cavalry were wearing long sheepskin coats with lapels. At first glance, they were dressed as Xianbei people, and some of them were Xianbei.
The people were accompanied by horses, and the horses carried iron cavalry armor, which was obviously the prestigious armor and riding equipment. But apart from their dress and language, these Xianbei people were no different. The horses were sweating and their legs were covered in sweat.
There was dust on the ground, and no group of cavalry dared to walk into the fields and trample the crops.
After the team had passed, people began to talk. Some people said that the general looked so kind, so it was no wonder that he would be pleased with him. Some people said that this man and horse looked so friendly that they did not even put a foot on them.
Enter the fields; some people say that General Lang can not only defeat the Xianbei people, but also tame the Xianbei people. This is something that no Shanyu in the past has been able to do! After saying this, everyone has a lot of favorable impressions of Liu Bei.<
/p>
While they were discussing, a Sima from the army came over on horseback, came to the people, and asked who the leader was. The leader thought he was going to collect cattle and sheep, and secretly screamed that it was bad. Unexpectedly, the Sima said:
"Fellow fellows, don't be afraid. Our Han Dynasty is in civil strife. The war last year was not peaceful, so we had to fight in the middle of the country this year. This is really not what we want. Along the way, Lang Jiang saw confiscated crops everywhere along the road, and he felt very sad.
It's a pity. This year's economic situation is already not good. If we don't even accept this little food, how can we survive next year? In this battle, we will fight to the death to ensure the safety of our troops and expel the enemy invaders. If you can trust me,
General, just go home and collect grain like this. If anyone in the army violates discipline and disturbs the people, you can use this to Meiji City, and we, general, will certainly uphold justice for you."
Having said this, the Sima handed over a talisman. The radical recognized the Chinese characters, and above it were the four characters "living with the people." Sima added: "If you still know the tribesmen who have fled, please advise them to return.
”
After saying that, he rode back to the ranks.
Along the way, Liu Bei persuaded nearly 80,000 Xiongnu people to return in this way, which resulted in a rather spectacular scene. On both sides of the army that stretched for ten miles, there were more Xiongnu people accompanying them, and they passed through Dingxiang.
The county set up a pontoon bridge from Tongguo to cross the river, and then walked slowly to the east of Meiji City, ten miles away, and set up camp on the north bank of the Nan River. After ordering his subordinates not to move around at will, Liu Bei then led a hundred personal guards and some generals.
Then head to Meiji.
When he walked outside Meiji City, all the princes came out to greet them. Liu Bei greeted them one by one with a smile on his face, and said emphatically to Da Qiequ: "There is no loss in merging the state, it depends on the king!" Among the crowd of princes and queens, he was standing in front of him.
Among them, Tian Yu saw Tian Yu and said with a smile: "Okay, Guorang, you are young, but your contribution has already exceeded that of Zhongjun." Tian Yu was embarrassed and said: "This is all my wife's credit, how can I dare to take credit?
”
Liu Bei then realized that he had not seen Liu Jia, so he asked: "Where is Li Rong?"
"My wife said that this was not the place for a woman, so she went to rest in King Zuoxian's house."
After greetings, a group of people walked into the city. At this time, Liu Bei discovered that the Meiji Market was still there, and there were many wine shops in it. The smell of meat was fragrant. He turned back and said to the princes: "We have been marching on the road for seven or eight days.
We're very tired, so why not let's have dinner in the market outside the city, and I'll treat you!" The subordinates all laughed and nodded.
The shop owner was an old Hu, who had five sons and one daughter. When he heard that the general who was protecting the Huns was here, he was very frightened. He refused to Liu Bei and said: "I heard that the general is a member of the Han clan, and now he is protecting another party."
, I must have lived in fine clothes and fine food since childhood, and I am not used to the fishy smell here."
When Liu Bei heard this, he laughed and said: "This is a great compliment to Liu Bei. The Han clan has hundreds of thousands of people, but they can't take care of me. I lost my father's love when I was a child, and I depended on my mother for a living. Where can I find any good clothes and food?"
Brother, you don’t know, I sold straw sandals on the street when I was ten years old, and I made them all up myself!”
Speaking of this, he recalled his childhood and said with emotion: "In those days, I drank porridge every day, so that no matter what I ate, I felt delicious and sweet. Brother, as long as you have some meat, you will be rich today." Looking back,
He then laughed with the princes and said: "I had a humble childhood, I hope you won't laugh." The princes were all "How dare you".
The store then served them food. Since Lishi had steamed steamed buns, the Hu people also liked them very much and called them white cakes. Liu Bei used white cakes and mutton for this meal. He ate onion and garlic and talked to the store owner while eating.
Gossip, people at that time regarded being able to eat as a warrior, so he ate three kilograms of mutton in a row. Seeing Liu Bei eating happily, the store owner also laughed and said: "The general is a real warrior!"
After he finished eating and left, the tribesmen who were watching gathered in and asked what Liu Bei had said to the store. Finally, everyone said with emotion that the rumored general was taciturn and we couldn't tell, but he was approachable and kind-hearted.
, and not extravagantly spending money, we all know it today, if such a person becomes a chanyu in the country, we can only dream of it.
After the meal, Liu Bei held a short meeting with the princes of the country. He did not ask about the attitude of each department towards the imperial court. He simply confirmed how much military strength Meiji could have now, and then agreed to go to the east of the city to reorganize the army tomorrow, and the meeting was dismissed soon.<
/p>
After the meeting, Liu Bei went to see another person. After Helian Fanmo died, the new governor of Bingzhou, Zhang Chang, was placed under house arrest in the city by Tian Yu and others, waiting for Liu Bei's fate. When Liu Bei came to see him, Zhang Chang was frightened.
Jumping, his face quickly showed an embarrassed and sad look. He lowered his head and bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Zhang Chang has met Liu Shijun."
Liu Bei saw that he looked uneasy, so he joked: "I heard that Wen Shu was very eloquent in the city. Why is he so reserved in front of me?"
Zhang Chang sighed and said: "I had no intention of coming here, but my brothers are still in the court and my mother is still here, so I have no choice but to serve Dong Zhuo. If Liu Shijun is generous, please let me go back to the court. If I die, please
Quick decision!"
Liu Bei's face darkened when he heard the hostility in his words, and then he asked in a deep voice: "Now that the national traitors are in power, Wen Shu has no intention of fighting with me?"
Liu Bei then struck the table with his sword. Zhang Chang was stunned in the corner of the table. Liu Bei asked him: "What do you want to do to support the country? Now I hold a three-foot sword and fight Dong thief to the death. What will I do?"
It is nothing more than the peace of the country and the prosperity of the country. Wen Shu would rather die today than go to the national disaster with me. However, Ming Gong has a spirit in heaven, how should we treat it?"
He finally concluded: "In a few days, I will decide the outcome with the Liang people. If I win, I will return to the city and ask Wen Shu again. If I lose, Wen Shu will embrace my head and go to Dong Zhuo to ask for credit!" When Zhang Chang saw that his words were suddenly like thunderbolts, his beard and hair were flaring, his eyes were suddenly as bright as fire, and his whole face seemed to be enveloped in a layer of fearful divine light, he couldn't help being frightened, subconsciously lowered his head, and said to Liu Bei
: "The general teaches Chang with great righteousness, how dare he disobey."
