Chapter 5 Three thousand miles north of Saibei, Henan
Just when Liu Xuande accepted Cao Cao's invitation with a decisive attitude, at the same time, Gongsun Xun, who received the signal from the Youzhou Governor's Department that Cheng Pu was transferred to Yuyang Captain, immediately set out as planned.
However, unlike Liu Bei, although Gongsun Xun also wanted to go to Sili without warning, his level was too high, so it was impossible for General Wei to truly leave lightly.
In fact, just before setting off, just gathering the white horse Yi Cong and explaining the things here made the foot of Mang Mountain in Changping very lively... For a time, groups of knights were coming and going like dragons!
This is the characteristic of border counties. Except for a few pure Confucian scholars such as Wei You, most of the noble families and powerful sons of border counties ride horses, carry swords, draw bows and spears, and must lead people to accompany them.
Not to mention, there are also many leaders of foreign tribes mixed in here.
"Isn't the leader of the Mohu Department here yet?" Eighteen-year-old Tian Yu was inevitably a little unstable on his first day as a member of the Baima Yicong. "Lv Changshi kept asking... Chengde is so close, why?
Why don't you come?"
Everyone sitting in the outer hall waiting to be summoned looked at each other, but no one answered. It was obvious that Mohu Zang was indeed not here.
Tian Yu had no choice but to go back to the inner hall from the outer hall to report to Lu Fan... However, what he didn't know was that across the General Guard's Mansion, in the backyard of the Amway store to the south, there was originally a place with the three counties.
Gongsun Xun, who was facing the heroes, was actually talking to Mohu Zang all alone at this time.
"So everything has been settled?" Gongsun Xun, who came in a hurry, rarely asked seriously.
"Don't worry, sir." Mohu Zang has also entered middle age, but when he saw the other party coming, he still responded respectfully to the ground like the shabby house he used to be. "How can a villain dare to delay the important event of the Lord? Brother Yi Gongyi.
When I arrived in Chengde, I personally took a dozen of my confidants with me until..."
"There is no need to go into details." Gongsun Xun frowned and interrupted. "Yi Gong is right outside the door. He will naturally make it clear to me. As long as the matter is done... Mohu Zang, I won't hide it either.
You, your contribution is really not small to me, I will keep it in mind, and sooner or later I will have an explanation in the future, so get up."
Mohu Zang was immediately overjoyed: "The adults know rewards and punishments clearly, and the villains are always sincerely convinced."
Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Now that you are wearing Han clothes, speaking Chinese, and using idioms, I can hardly recognize you as a Xianbei person... If you ask me, why not change your name to a serious Chinese name?
Pleasant to the ears.”
Mohu Zang, who had just gotten up, was embarrassed for a moment, but did not answer the question.
"Let's not talk about this." Gongsun Xun didn't care and continued to explain. "I have been waiting for news about you and Yi Gong these days. Now that the matter is settled, I can leave Youzhou with peace of mind.
..." At this point, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but pause. However, he took advantage of his height and looked down at Mo Huzhi, who was becoming more and more respectful. Seeing that the other party had no unnecessary reaction, he continued. "Here we go.
I don’t know when I will come back, but I still have some words to tell you.”
"Sir, please speak."
"You are in Chengde, which is the northern gateway to the three counties of Guangyang. You need to be careful to guard against the Xianbei and Wuhuan people for me. It's not that you are afraid of them, but if you really let those bastards swarm into my foundation,
It was somewhat of a troublesome thing to clean up...especially Wuyan, the leader of Wuhuan in Youbeiping, who called himself King Hanlu. Qiu Liju and Kebineng were both honest, but he was outside Lulongsai all day long.
Jumping up and down, you can't live for a moment."
"Don't worry, sir." Mohu Zang immediately raised his head and promised. "I swear here, I can't control Lulongsai. But here in Chengde, we will never let those bastards break in. Otherwise, I, Mohu, will
The whole tribe will become extinct... As for Wu Yan, if you are willing, you can just leave it to me. His strength is only about a hundred people, and only two or three thousand can be fully mobilized. How dare a clown-like figure claim to be the king?!
Throughout winter and spring, I will definitely be able to kill him outside the Great Wall for you!"
Mohu Zong was impassioned, but Gongsun Xun couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.
In other words, when Gongsun Auntie and more than half of the Gongsun clan moved to Liaodong, Gongsun Xun focused on the heart of Youzhou, that is, the three counties of Yuyang, Guangyang, and Zhuojun.
As a passage area connecting North China and the Liaohe Plain, the two counties of Beiping are inevitably weak...especially the fateful five-hundred-mile passage. To the east lies the Liaoxi Wuhuanqiu Liju tribe, and to the west lies the emerging Xianbei forces.
The Kebineng tribe is a truly powerful force with tens of thousands of troops, which is really worrying.
It can even be said that the connecting area is the weakest in Gongsun Xun’s layout in Youzhou.
But there is nothing that can be done, because there are geographical reasons and traditional historical debts that cannot be shaken by human power - north of the Yanshan Mountains are gradually rising hilly areas, with complex terrain, which can be called a small nomadic tribe.
It was a natural residence, but for most of the Han army, there were only a few access roads; as for Wuhuan in western Liaoning, its critical position was deliberately done by the Han Dynasty.
At the end of the year before last and the beginning of last year, Gongsun Xun had actually sent out troops once. He had a small battle with Ke Bineng outside the Great Wall, and he also took advantage of the opportunity to form an alliance with Wuhuan in Western Liaoning and the so-called local miscellaneous tribesmen... This was already considered targeted.
Although they were suppressed and appeased by others, they still could not change the objective reality of the Kebineng and Qiuliju tribes.
And it is precisely because of this that Gongsun Xun inevitably needs to rely on local power. Mohu Zang's ability to establish a city in Chengde was the result of this background.
To be fair, this kind of helpless indulgence is an established strategy. It is a helpless choice made by Gongsun Auntie and Gongsun Xun after discussion. Gongsun Xun’s close aides all agreed after discussion. Mo Huzheng himself has always been respectful, but Gongsun Xun is still a little confused.
Inner vigilance.
Because the education he received from the nobles of the border counties since he was a child, as well as some of the historical ‘trends’ that Gongsun Auntie later slowly recounted, made Gongsun Xun a little uncomfortable with Mohu Zang’s identity as a foreigner.
Back in front of me, I thought that when I first saw Mohu Zang, there were only two or three hundred miscellaneous soldiers. Then there were five or six hundred young men, two or three thousand men and horses, and now there are vaguely four or five thousand.
The shape of soldiers and horses... In the past ten years, Gongsun Xun is not the only person in the world who has been working hard to move forward.
And if he really eats these two thousand Wuhuan tribes, there will be six to seven thousand people who can control the strings! In the future, when the Central Plains is in turmoil and he is unable to deal with matters outside the Great Wall, will he raise a real evil tiger?
come out?
"Your Majesty, what else do you have in mind?" Mohu Zang said, spitting, but when he didn't see Gongsun Xun agreeing, his heart trembled.
"It's not that I have other ideas." Gongsun Xun sighed for a moment. "I just think there is no need to go to such trouble. It is better to drive away... rush to the north side of Liucheng. Duan is there and can help you."
Hearing this, Mohu Zang, who had been struggling in the cracks of big forces for more than ten years, still didn't understand that his family was expanding too fast, so that the other party was afraid of it.
As a result, the leader of the Mohu Department ignored his heartache and immediately faced him seriously: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely drive Wu Yan out of the border wall with Duan Riyuming!"
When Gongsun Xun saw the other party being so respectful, he nodded slightly, then ignored him. Instead, he turned around and joined Han Dang who was guarding the courtyard gate, and went north to meet the heroes from the three counties of Youzhou.
Naturally, Mohu Zang also hurriedly followed.
Not only outside the Great Wall, things in the three counties were also very complicated. Gongsun Xun worked hard for a day, met with many people, and explained many things. On the second day, he ordered 500 righteous followers and took Lou Gui and Han Dang with him.
, Xi Zhong's three confidants went straight south.
It is worth mentioning that this time, except for Lu Fan who stayed in Guangyang as a matter of course, Wang Xiu, Du Ji, Chang Lin, Zao Zhi and others who were good at domestic affairs did not go. Even Han Hao also stayed behind specifically as Lu Fan.
With the direct force at hand, Fan Shou led 300 righteous followers to still be stationed at the foot of Mang Mountain. As for the 500 righteous followers that Gongsun Xun brought with him on this trip, more than half of them were new recruits. Among them, powerful descendants of local noble families in Youzhou, such as Tian Chou,
Tian Yu, Zhang Nan, Jiao Chu, Wen Ze, Zou Dan and others were all there... It was as if Gongsun Xun took advantage of the opportunity.
Five hundred knights on white horses, each carrying a heavy horse, marched from north to south along the smooth land of the North China Plain. They quickly followed the flow and arrived in Hanoi in early October. They went straight to Mengjin's place in Hanoi.
Set up camp next to the ferry on one side!
White horses are like a forest, which is the only symbol in the world. In addition, there are many places along the way where Gongsun Xun performed his duties and fought. Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Hanoi, everyone in the world knew about it. If the emperor could not do anything, then
General He Jin won this military parade!
At this time, Liu Bei and Cao Cao had just returned from Yuzhou to recruit troops.
As for Zhang Yang, Zhang Liao and others sent by Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, although they arrived early, they were only stationed at the ferry south of Mengjin... They were not even allowed to enter the gate of Luoyang.
"That is the envoy of the general. The king of Changshi came here in person. I heard that his grandfather and father are all ranked among the three nobles, and they are from a first-class famous family." In Meng Jin's camp on the side of Luoyang, Zhang Yang's subordinates, fake military princes
Yang Chou clung to the fence of the camp, looking at the boats on the river and the flags at the ferry, trying to distinguish them. "There are also envoys from the Hussar General, the Chariot General, and the Three Dukes' envoys. The rest should be here."
Are they all ministers who come to pay a visit in person or send envoys to pay their respects? For such a scene, it must be at least two thousand stones for a school captain or something like that, right?"
Hearing this, looking at the dense guards of honor and flags at the ferry, the former Bingzhou Wumeng who was standing beside him, and the current fake Sima Zhangyang and Zhang Zhishu, didn't know what to say.
"Sima, look over there!" Suddenly, Yang Chou said loudly again. "Is it the Northern Military Academy Lieutenant Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian? You took us to Luozhong to visit him last month. He lives in the neighboring county to yours... That day everyone
Everyone thinks it’s great that a fellow from Bingzhou and Border County can become a captain, and now he actually wants to pay a visit to General Wei in person!”
Under the afternoon sunshine in late autumn and early winter, Zhang Yang, who had good vision and excellent eyesight, also saw Lu Bu from a distance, but saw that he was riding alongside two officers with the same green ribbon and silver seal, and one with a black ribbon and bronze seal.
He was talking and laughing, and it seemed that the three people around him were either colleagues or old acquaintances.
Such a posture is completely different from when I first met my "down-and-out fellow countrymen".
But Zhang Yang carefully looked at the four people, who were different in height, fat and thin, and suddenly his heart moved.
By the way, Uncle Zhang Zhishu is different from Yang Chou. Yang Chou only knows how to watch the fun, but Zhang Yang, as the leader of Bingzhou Army Horse, understood the weirdness of the general and the emperor behind this military parade from the beginning... As for so many people in front of him, no matter what
Let’s talk about other things, just Lu Bu and the three people beside him. These four people must be officers of the Forbidden Army in Luoyang. However, since they are officers of the Forbidden Army, even if the military parade is about to be held, their behavior is a bit loose, but how can they leave Luoyang so easily?
How about crossing the river to the other side?
You must know that the opposite side is Hanoi territory!
So there is no need to ask, this must be the work of General He Jin. He either directly gave the order, or half-heartedly asked these people to take a rest, and then with some hints, they could cross the river here one after another.
And now that he has figured out this link, Zhang Yang can't help but feel excited, and is ready to go with this fellow countryman to show his face to General Wei... After all, although Zhang Shuzhi is just a fake Sima, he is representing Ding Yuan at this time.
, even the entire Bingzhou military is still somewhat thin-faced, maybe it will become famous all over the world at once.
Of course, it's hard to say.
Although Lu Bu's place was easy to deal with, looking at the situation in front of him, General Wei had to meet too many people today, and all of them were high-ranking officials. He went with his fellow villagers with a shy face, but when he arrived at the place, he was called General Wei.
If I don’t know who you are, and then I don’t see you at all, wouldn’t this trip mean that you will be embarrassed in front of your fellow villagers?
However, just when Zhang Yang was hesitant and didn't know whether to go forward to say hello to Lu Bu, suddenly, not only Yang Chou beside him, but also half of the people at the ferry suddenly started making noises in shock, and then the entire people at the ferry
They all stopped as if they were under a restraining spell.
Zhang Yang looked at the situation and was instantly stunned. It turned out that there was actually a group of people coming from the official road to the south!
In other words, the emperor actually sent someone to Mengjin as soon as possible!
There was no time to think about the political implications, and seeing everyone stop and wait, preparing to let the emperor's envoy board the boat to meet General Wei on the other side of the river, Zhang Yang suddenly figured out one thing - since the emperor has sent the envoy here, what will happen today?
General Wei must not see too many people, so does he not have to worry about being embarrassed in front of his fellow villagers?
In this case, just go with the crowd.
After thinking this, Zhang Shuzhi didn't say anything, but directly led out a good horse and walked behind Lu Bu calmly.
"Xuande, look, there is going to be a lot of excitement on the other side of the river today." Beside Lu Bu, a short man with green ribbon and silver seal and squinting eyes, saw the angel guard passing by, but he simply sneered.
more than.
Upon hearing this, the white-faced and beardless man wearing the black ribbon and copper seal, that is, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, showed no expression on his face and no words at all... I don't know whether it was because he was in a bad mood or because he was born with facial paralysis.
The angel boarded the boat to cross the river, and the ferry became lively again. Everyone set off to follow him. When they were on the boat, Lu Bu found that there was a fellow countryman behind him, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he introduced Cao Cao, Xu Rong, and Liu Bei.
.
Not to mention Xu Rong, who are Cao Cao and Liu Bei? Even if Liu Bei had something on his mind, he did not lose his etiquette. However, Zhang Yang, who had followed without permission, immediately felt like a spring breeze.
Correspondingly, Zhang Yang discovered that there was actually a little fellow behind him, but it was also difficult to say anything in public. On the contrary, he had to hold his nose and introduce to everyone: "Everyone, this is Bingzhou engaged in work.
Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan were crowned just this year, but they are quite famous in the state because of their bravery. This time when they entered Luo, my uncle Fang considered that he needed brave men to parade in the army, so he was specially selected to serve!"
"I've seen you, sirs." Zhang Liao, who was tall and followed Zhang Yang aboard secretly, faced each other, but he was proud and proud. "Actually, uncle Zhi just said it was wrong. Although I am well-known in the state as a young man, it is not because of any martial arts.
But it is famous for Cuju... I am not boasting, but since I tied my hair, my state has been known as the invincible Cuju player!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao twisted his beard and laughed, Liu Bei remained silent, Lu Bu was curious for a moment, Xu Rong was confused, and Zhang Yang looked disgusted.
——————I am the dividing line with a look of disgust——————
"Zhang Liao was given the courtesy name Wenyuan and was a native of Mayi, Yanmen. After Ben Nie Yi, he changed his surname to avoid resentment and became a county official. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, used the Liao's military prowess to recruit him and sent his troops to Kyoto.
