The Battle of Weihu ended. Among the 40,000 people from the eight tribes who accompanied He Nadanghu to build the city at Weihu, a few died in the battle and half were captured by Daqiequ. The rest were mostly afraid of Fuluo's tyranny and either fled westward back to the great city of Shuofang.
, or flee north from Huze.
When the remaining six tribesmen of Shuofang Dacheng saw that He Naping had fled back to Pinglin, and heard that He Nadang had died in battle, and that Dajiequ was about to lead his troops to encircle them, they were all devastated, and they continued westward with their men. They decided to cross the desert.
Go all the way to the upper reaches of the river and find a place in the war-torn Longdi.
But Gao Zhun and Li Hou still stayed in Dacheng. They discussed privately and said: "When I waited for Xiang to help He Nai become a householder, the reason was to kill all the thieves. When we joined Bai Bo, it was just to find a way out. A thought.
, people have changed their appearance. Brother He Na is dead, as well as his wife and children, and so many people are counting on us to survive. How can we become less useful as we continue to live?"
So they appeased the remaining tribesmen and allowed those who wanted to leave to leave. In the blink of an eye, the crowds in the big city no longer existed, and there were only more than 10,000 people left, most of whom were unable and unwilling to stay away from home.
There are lonely old people and children, but Micro Motion and the others don't care about it. As long as they can still move, they don't mind. Repairing the fortifications is difficult, but it doesn't mean that no one can help. The worst thing is that some people can do more.
There are fewer people to do, some are building bricks and some are building walls, as long as they try their best, that's all. They don't need to say much, everyone who stays knows the predicament at this time, and no one doesn't want to live, plus Gaozhun will not skimp on any deductions.
Food, they have no reason not to do their best for the garrison.
But this is not enough. Gao Zhun and his team also understand that relying on them alone, they can only die under the siege. If they want to break the situation, they must stand firm and wait for help. But the help will not be from the Xianbei people. They need it.
It is the actual force that can go directly to the city to relieve the siege.
"Going to find Guo Shuai?" Wang Xiaoxian asked. After all, everyone was born in Bai Bo, and the first thing they thought of was Guo Da in Wanyang.
But Li Hou immediately denied it and said: "Guo Shuai is in an embarrassing situation now. We have been quarreling with the He Na brothers for a month. The Hun royal court knows our whereabouts to some extent, and must be wary of Guo Shuai. What's more, we left the house without talking to him.
Guo Shuai told me, how can we trouble him again?"
Gao Zhun agreed with this. Not only was Guo Da embarrassed, the most important thing was that Guo Da led his army to rescue him, but he might not be able to win. If he asked for reinforcements, it would be best if the reinforcements had the ability to win. He had already prepared this, and he said
: "In the current situation, I think we have to ask for help from Longshou. Although he has retired from official status, he and Liu Shijun are sworn brothers. Liu Shijun is a lieutenant general who protects the Huns, and you and I have heard of the name of benevolence and righteousness.
, He also has the righteousness of the imperial court. As long as he brings troops here, even if he cannot win, he can still protect these more than 10,000 people!"
Everyone said yes and asked Gao Zhun to go to Jinyang for help.
On the other hand, although Daqiequ won a great victory in the Battle of Weihu, he suffered heavy casualties and was unable to reorganize his troops to fight again. He originally wanted to rest at Weihu for ten months and wait for Shanyu to recruit more than 10,000 soldiers before he could advance.
He suppressed Shuofang and wiped out the remaining bandits. Unexpectedly, after the news of the victory came, Shanyu's order was to retreat to Shanan to reorganize his troops and be ready to assist Dingxiang at any time.
Just when Zhiya's order was difficult to understand, Humphrey ordered his fifty-two troops to each have more than a thousand soldiers. Together with the soldiers of the royal court, they actually had about 60,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry, a total of about 90,000 troops.
, all the princes of the Huns accompanied them, and they drove all the way to the great city of Shuofang.
Dajiequ and Liu Xuan collided with Shanyu's army north of Guangyan. They saw the mighty army marching like a dragon with no head or tail. The flags of the kings were fluttering like a forest in the spring breeze. Wolves, tigers, leopards, and the sun on the cloudy mountains.
These morale-boosting pictures were mixed in among the troops, but the soldiers were in a troubled mood and depressed, which made Dajiequ feel deeply unlucky.
Da Qiequ went with Liu Xuan to the Central Army to meet Shanyu. Shanyu was surrounded by princes and relatives. He wore a gold crown on his head, a gold silk belt around his waist, and long riding boots inlaid with two pieces of red jade, which made him look noble.
He was so angry that when he saw the two men returning from victory, he happily said to the princes: "This is the return of the fully loaded hunters."
After that, he ordered to reward each of them with a cup of jade. The jade cup was engraved with two lions chasing each other. The Xiongnu Chanyu said with a smile: "You two are like my lion control warriors in Meiji, and they should serve as examples for my entire army."
!" All the princes also put on smiles and gave heavy gifts to the two of them, knowing that from now on, the two of them would rise rapidly.
But Da Qie's heart was not here. He finally exchanged pleasantries and found an opportunity to ask Shan Yu: "Dare you ask Shan Yu? When Shan Yu asked about the plan in Meiji, he fully agreed to it and gave me full authority to deal with Shuo Fang.
Matter, why now..."
Before he finished speaking, Shanyu could hear his confusion and dissatisfaction with his trip. Fortunately, he was about to win a big victory. Shanyu was in a good mood and knew that he was wrong first, so he explained to Daqiequ in a gentle voice.
He said: "I originally wanted to lead a large army to attack Dingxiang, but after gathering the soldiers, I heard that there was going to be a battle with Xianbei. The morale of the soldiers was low, and the army was already visible. It is better to lead the army to wipe out the remaining thieves, show off my power as the king, and then lead the army to attack Dingxiang.
When we have a great victory and go north to attack the invaders, then the morale of the troops will be available, and the enemy invaders will naturally retreat."
When Dajiequ heard the words "Promote my power as king", he understood it. Even if he didn't agree with the other reasons, he nodded for a long time and could only say: "It's just a waste of money, Shan Yu should pay attention to it.
" Shanyu knew that he had agreed, so he waved and said with a smile: "Da Qiequ will go to Shanan first. You still have to worry about the battle against Xianbei."
Da Qiequ retreated silently. He looked back at Chanyu's goshawk flag, and found that He Nadanghu's head was hanging on the goshawk flag, floating back and forth in the wind. For a moment, he met his eyes.
The corner of his mouth seemed to be sarcastic about the wrong person he had entrusted. Da Qiequ withdrew his eyes and walked among the crowd. All the soldiers had a frustrated look, which made him laugh silently.
So the two armies separated again. Daqiequ had to follow the Hetao Desert in the north to Yunzhong County, rest at the corner of the river from east to south, and prepare for the next battle with Xianbei, while Yufuluo's Shanyu army regrouped.
Crossing Wei Lake, we launched an encirclement and suppression campaign against the last rebels along the southern desert.
The chaos in Bingzhou has been going on for a month, and Chen Chong was not unaware of it. However, Liu Bei suffered such a defeat and spent all day recuperating in his mansion. Chen Chong was in charge of all affairs in the county, and he was really unable to interfere. Although Xianbei said he would withdraw his troops, after this
After a major defeat, it was necessary to recruit and train troops again, while the south of the county needed to encourage education and farmers, inventory the acres of land in the county, and distribute the wasteland to the victims.
After one spring, more than 20,000 households in the county were granted land. Many wealthy families who had fled last year heard the news and sent Cangtou back to inquire about the situation. They often saw clear ridges in the old fields, green wheat seedlings in the soil, and roads between the fields.
There are emerald green veils everywhere. Men farm, while children often collect mulberry and vine bark in the mountains and fields. They go home and let women sort and dry them, waiting for the county government paper to go to the countryside to buy them.
With such a harmonious scene, all the prominent families in the county were overjoyed, and they packed up their property and returned home one after another. Before returning home, many of the clan's descendants came to Liu Bei to intercede, hoping that the county government would uphold justice and return the fields before the Xiongnu rebellion to their original owners. After Liu Bei first received a few people, he immediately closed the door of his house on the pretext of recuperating from illness. When he couldn't get what he asked for, he found another way, so these young talents turned to see Chen Chong one after another. After all, it was well known that he was handling the affairs of the whole county. The result was ten thousand.
In the coming days, the county government’s threshold will be crossed.
The disciples of the aristocratic family basically follow the same old routine: first they talk about mysteries, then they give gifts, and finally they cry out and plead. Chen Chong's expression does not change. He keeps silent when talking about mysteries, leaving it to his disciples to deal with. He accepts all the gifts he gives, and then
Hang it on the door beam, and write it one by one on red paper: On x month x year, Zhongping, xxx from x county gave a gift to Chen. Within a few days, the beams were covered with lacquered boxes, just like a persimmon tree with a good harvest and a dazzling array of things. p>
At this point, those who gave Chen Chong Tanxuan gifts were basically extinct. Only those who begged to speak frankly, Chen Chong would inquire about their family background and age. If it was really difficult, he would privately use money to provide some support; if the family property was substantial, he would take out the land register to deal with it.
Clear the number, remove the hidden fields, and allow them to redeem the fields in the list at 60% of the market price.
In addition, there were some people who tried to bribe county officials. Chen Chong was well prepared for this, so he sent Zhang Fei as postal supervisor, accompanied by Xu Shu, to go to the county. He actually dug out nearly a hundred corrupt officials, and they were all killed by Zhang Fei.
He was tied to a tree and whipped for punishment. After a month of this, Chen Chong became known far and wide as an iron-faced man. The strong man who wanted to use favors to gain some benefits naturally disappeared without a trace.
During this period, Chen Chong was actually very concerned about He Na Dang House. Two days after the He Na Dang House uprising, Guo Da got the news and learned that his subordinates were involved. Guo Da didn't know what to do for a while, but he remembered that Chen Chong predicted that the Xiongnu would sooner or later have civil strife.
, and then reported the matter to Chen Chong.
Chen Chong immediately sent Wei Yan to Shangjun to inquire about the news. When Wei Yan arrived in Pingding, the three counties had been plundered by He Nadang. He only saw a broken wall and corpses and blood on the ground. Wei Yan was deeply shocked by this and returned.
When he arrived in Jinyang, he felt both happy and frightened and said to Chen Chong: "The tyranny of the princes was killed by the people. There are really consequences in the world!" After staying with Chen Chong for a long time, he was able to talk a little about Buddhism. Hearing that He Na Danghu was leading his army towards Shuofang, Chen Chong was extremely disappointed. He held his forehead and lamented, "I'm going to die! I'm going to die! Why don't I go east and come here?" So he discussed with Liu Bei and sent Jian Yong to the United States.
Ji left, trying to persuade Yu Fuluo to negotiate peace with him, but after Yu Fuluo heard his intention, he didn't see him, and Jian Yong was shut out.
After receiving the news, Chen Chong was extremely upset. Thinking about how things had not gone well since the beginning of the year, and then remembering Jian Shuo's remarks before leaving, Chen Chong felt a strong wind howling in his heart: There was nothing he could do about family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs.
?
Fortunately, there is one thing that makes him happy. Of course, he is not the only one who is happy. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Liu Deran, and everyone in Jinyang City are in high spirits and take the initiative to give Zhang Hong a blessing.
The reason is actually very simple. Liu Bei is already twenty-eight this year and he is finally getting married.
