To put it bluntly, those nonsense things in Luoyang were just one sentence... Gongsun Xun had no choice but to stage the extremely gorgeous military performance on the banks of the Wei River, which frightened everyone.
Now the emperor is afraid of him joining the game, the eunuchs are even more afraid of him joining the game, then the Yuan family is also afraid of him joining the game, and even Dong Zhuo is afraid of him joining the game. The only one who is not afraid is the general, but the general is now fighting such a war because of Gongsun Xun
, on the contrary, his back is strong and there is no need for Gongsun Xun to enter the game.
According to General He's idea, when Gongsun Xun comes back from Youzhou to suppress the rebellion, he will be able to guarantee it, whether he becomes a shepherd in Jizhou or joins the court and participates in politics as a general of hussars. In addition, the general's own political wisdom is really incomparable.
The emperor, the eunuchs, and the Yuan family were all on par with each other, so they let all this go.
Of course, Gongsun Xun, who had been traveling quickly, did not know this, and he did not even know what was going on in Youzhou. It was not until the 30th day of the first lunar month that Gongsun Xun, who had been driving for twenty days in the heart of Bingzhou,
Xun and his party finally crossed the Well Trail, one of the eight Taihang Trails, and arrived at Changshan Country. Only then did they get some information through the local business store of the Amway, but they still had the same old saying of blocking traffic.
However, from here on, not only the roads became smoother, but old ministries, old officials, and old friends could also be seen everywhere. The information finally gathered together, and on the seventh day of February, Gongsun Xun and his party rushed to Fan Yang and met here.
Gongsun Fan, who was the county magistrate, also met Han Hao and Han Yuansi who took the initiative to greet him. He even received a letter from his mother by sea. Only then did he know the important inside story of the rebellion.
First of all, according to Aunt Gongsun, the rebellion of the Wuhuan people was indeed caused by her negligence... because according to her hindsight observation, the rebellion of the Wuhuan people was inevitable and should have been anticipated!
Because the root of the problem is economics.
You must know that the social and economic model of Wuhuan in western Liaoning is very special. They were raised outside the fortress by the Han Dynasty, but they lived behind fortresses such as Liucheng and Guanzicheng. They themselves did not have much independent economic capacity. For a long time, the Han Dynasty had to give way to
Qingzhou and Jizhou supported Youzhou with a large amount of hundreds of millions of money, most of which was spent on the military construction of Wuhuan and border counties.
But isn’t this the end of the Han Dynasty?
Isn’t it true that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and even the hinterland of the Central Plains themselves became economically bankrupt?
Doesn't this mean that Liangzhou needs to suppress the rebellion, and then spends money like water?
Therefore, the Wuhuan people's financial assistance stopped, and then it collapsed on its own.
In fact, it is not just Wuhuan. Starting last year, the Baibo bandits with a large number of mixed beards who emerged in Bingzhou Xihe and the Huns were in civil strife for the same reason. There was no central government like the Han Dynasty to give them blood transfusions, and the local economic foundation was too poor.
, then the economy will naturally collapse.
In later generations, the economic downturn of the Han Dynasty spread to the surrounding areas, leading to the economic bankruptcy of the Wuhuan people, the Huns, and even the Xianbei people... And when they were bankrupt, they could not afford to wear clothes or eat. With the minds of these people
, what can he do if he doesn’t rebel?! He is originally a bandit from eight generations of his ancestors!
As for Wuhuan in Western Liaoning, being able to wait until Gongsun Xun left before rebelling would have given Anli and Gongsun Xun a lot of face!
After all, the Amway dragged the Wuhuan part of Liaoxi to participate in the Bohai Economic Circle, and then alleviated the plight of these people on a large scale. After all, Gongsun Xun was a man of great prestige, leading Guangyang, Yuyang, and Zhuojun with a population of one million.
In Changping...when the two mothers were there, they didn't dare to act rashly.
At the end of the letter, Aunt Gongsun further reflected on her mistakes...According to what she said, she should have used corresponding economic means a year earlier to make the Wuhuan people completely desperate, forcing them to fight even with Gongsun Xun at their side.
They had no choice but to resist, and then General Wei, who had been well prepared, calmly sent out troops to destroy the Wuhuan people in advance.
By then, not only will the world be at peace in the North, but the counties in Liaodong where economic construction is in full swing will also have more labor, and her son will also have more elite cavalry like domestic slaves. How could these people be forced to rob so many things?
My son left and came back again...
Finally, the aunt did not forget to remind her son that he must be careful of unrest and trigger internal instability in the three counties of Guangyang, because Gongsun Xun's "well field system" seriously invaded the interests of a certain class...
In short, after reading the whole letter, I feel that in just one sentence, the aunt seems to blame herself!
While his mother blamed herself, Gongsun Xun felt very strange.
Yes, it's weird.
You know, although Gongsun Xun left Youzhou for a short time, he experienced a lot.
In Luozhong, the conflicts between relatives, scholars, and eunuchs fighting for imperial power broke out for more than a hundred years in the Han Dynasty. Everyone was fighting for the imperial power that was destined to collapse. The so-called conspiracy and imperial power.
As for Guanzhong, the Liangzhou rebels came in full force, and the Han Dynasty court tried its best. Both sides had horses and men, and the battle would determine the outcome.
After experiencing so many things in a short period of time, Gongsun Xun was inevitably given some real feelings about the times by those people, and he also started to follow them... But now that he has returned to Youzhou, he has not seen his mother, or even arrived in Changping.
Well, what does the economic crisis mean?
It seems like there are two worlds at all.
But what's even more frightening is that, weird as it is, Gongsun Xun feels that this explanation seems to be more reasonable than any conspiracy, destiny or ambition.
The root of the problem is economic problems.
"What's the situation like in the battle?" Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the couch in the courtyard of Fanyang City Official Temple, put away the letter and put away his unnecessary thoughts. At this moment, he was seriously asking Han Hao the most critical question.
As for Lou Gui, Xi Zhong, Han Dang, Tian Yu and others next to them, even Yi Cong, who was serving as the assistant, all stared at Han Hao... Just now Gongsun Xun read the letter. Although they were worried, they did not dare to directly
Open your mouth and ask.
"Reporting to your Majesty, the war situation... was going smoothly until a month ago!" Han Yuan Si immediately answered with his hands raised, but with a strange look on his face. "After the rebellion, he once captured Lulong Sai and entered the fortress to plunder, but
Going east, they did not capture the command city, but plundered a lot of goods outside the city. Going west, they only captured two small cities in Youbeiping. Then Captain Cheng immediately mobilized troops and horses on the order of Lu Changshi, and together with
Soldiers from various counties directly crossed the border to fight. The two armies fought first at Wu End, then at Xu Wu, and finally at Lulong Sai... Our army had three victories in three battles, so that the rebels had to withdraw from Lulong and flee outside the wall.
, and now there has been no movement for a month.”
Everyone's expressions were relieved. They didn't even touch the base areas of the three counties of Guangyang, okay? No wonder whoever I asked about the rebellion along the way, they just said "block traffic".
When Gongsun Xun heard this, he remembered his mother's analysis of the matter in the letter, and he completely relaxed: "Since Lulongsai has been recaptured, why should Cheng Demou be so careful? Since he has troops in his hands, he also has Lulongsai.
If one man is in charge of the pass, why not try to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and continue to send troops out of the fortress?"
"Because there is something strange about this rebellion." Han Hao replied helplessly. "So much so that Lu Changshi and Cheng Duwei didn't know who to fight, and they didn't dare to act rashly..."
Gongsun Xun was slightly startled: "This is interesting. Haven't you already fought three battles? Moreover, the argument is obviously based on the Wuhuan people. You don't know who to fight at this time?"
Lou Gui and others also looked at each other in confusion.
"Junhou." Han Hao immediately responded. "There is no doubt that the Wuhuan people launched this rebellion. Our army fought three times, and the main forces of the enemy on the opposite side were also typical Liaoxi white-clad Wuhuan and Liaoxi people.
There is no problem with the miscellaneous people outside the Great Wall, but the situation at hand is really complicated..."
"What's going on?" Xi Zhong finally couldn't bear Han Hao's boring temper.
"Hurry up and say it." Gongsun Xun couldn't bear it anymore.
"Report to the Lord." Upon seeing this, Han Hao immediately jumped to the key point. "The rebels included the Zhang family of the Yuyang family. Qiu Liju had visited Zhang Ju, the former Taishan prefect, before gathering troops to rebel. This time the rebels
We were able to break through Lulong fortress and the two small towns in Youbeiping, all because of the internal support of the Xieju clan..."
Gongsun Xun and Lou Gui couldn't help but look at each other, but there was nothing surprising... Zhang Chun, the prime minister of Changshan, died on the bank of the Hutuo River back then. Others didn't know, but he was rushing to marry Gongsun Yue's wife at that time.
Doesn't Zhang Ju have any doubts in his heart? Maybe he has been frightened for a long time in recent years. He is afraid that Gongsun Xun in Guangyang will wipe out the roots, so it is reasonable to take the opportunity to escape.
"Besides," Han Hao continued, "when this wolf escaped from Lulongsai half a month ago, he actually proclaimed himself emperor!"
"What the hell?" Gongsun Xun didn't react for a moment.
"When he was defeated and escaped from Lulongsai years ago, Zhang Ju proclaimed himself emperor in Guanzicheng, and he called himself the Son of Heaven." Han Hao said it again calmly.
The whole room was silent. Except for Gongsun Fan and Han Hao, who had known the information for a long time, everyone else was digesting the information.
"How many songs does this emperor have?" Gongsun Xun asked helplessly after a long while.
"Before he left the fortress, he plundered and kidnapped two small towns. Adding in his own strong men, he might have two to three thousand troops, and he could also form ten songs." Han Hao replied respectfully.
"It is indeed a troublesome thing." Xi Zhong immediately interjected. "That guy is a clown, but since he is good at calling himself the emperor, I must knock him down first no matter what to set an example..."
This was a political issue. Gongsun Xun frowned for a moment, but he understood somewhat of Lu Fan and Cheng Pu's hesitation.
"Is it just this matter?" After thinking about this, Gongsun Xunfu raised his head again and asked.
"This is just one of them." Han Hao immediately replied. "In addition, the leader of Xianbei, Kebi, has tens of thousands of troops, and he has accepted the Qiu Liju covenant. Now he has led his troops to the north and can support them to the east to break through the outside of the wall.
Qiu Liju of Liucheng can attack and harass the three counties of Guangyang in the south, so we must guard against it..."
Gongsun Xun nodded slowly, this was within his guess.
but……
"However," Gongsun Xun frowned and asked. "Although Liucheng and Guanzicheng are both in the passage outside the fortress, Liucheng is five hundred miles away, Guanzicheng is only two hundred miles away, and Kebineng lives with Qiu Li.
With the covenant, the most we can protect is Liucheng... We can go out and attack Guanzicheng first under the protection of Chengde!"
Han Hao was silent for a moment, and then told the truth: "Reporting to the emperor, this is the third one...According to what Lu Changshi said, the Mohu tribe in Chengde has actually rebelled although it has not yet rebelled; and next to Liucheng
Duanbu Xianbei, on the other hand, although he has rebelled, he has not actually rebelled."
Everyone in the room changed their expressions... No one really thought that something had happened to Mohubu and Duanbu, who had always been like loyal dogs.
Gongsun Xun was silent for a moment, but he didn't even get angry: "Tell me from the beginning!"
It turns out that, according to what Han Hao said, first of all, the main force, initiator, and actual leader of this rebellion were Wuhuan of Liaoxi, that is, Qiu Liju's tribe.
According to the intelligence summarized afterwards, after Gongsun Xun left last year, it was Qiu Liju who personally entered the fortress in white clothes and persuaded Zhang Ju. It was also he who personally marched westward and reached an alliance with Kebineng. Several battles were fought between him and himself.
His nephew Tadun led the typical Liaoxi white-clad Wuhuan to fight against the Han army.
However, the most outstanding thing about him is the timing of launching this rebellion.
In winter, Duanbu Xianbei and Mohu Xianbei worked together to expel Wuyan, the leader of Wuhuan, who was under the right Beiping border wall on the order of Gongsun Xun before he left. Wuyan was defeated in a battle and was then surrounded by Mohu and Duanbu.
They were at the foot of Bailang Mountain southwest of Liucheng and northeast of Chengde. At this moment, Qiu Liju suddenly summoned Wuhuan, his headquarters in western Liaoning, and sent troops to the west in the name of the Han Dynasty being unruly and rescuing his fellow tribesmen. At the same time, Xianbei Ke
Bineng also personally led troops to the east. The two sides in turn surrounded the Mohu tribe and Duan tribe at the foot of Bailang Mountain. Ke Bineng stepped forward and forced the second tribe to surrender on the condition of ensuring the independence of the two tribes.
"In the situation at that time, there was no harm in being hypocritical... However, Duanbu Xianbei's foundation was in the north of the Liaoxi Passage, and it had always relied on Liucheng for support. Now that Liucheng has fallen into the hands of the Wuhuan people, and Duanbu does not have his own walled city,
On the left is Kebineng and on the right is Qiu Liju. After Duan Riyuming surrendered that day, it would have been impossible not to follow them. But since he was forced to surrender, Duan Riyuming sent more troops to convey military information in every battle, three times.
Everyone in the battle deserved credit, and after they withdrew from the Great Wall, Duan Bu repeatedly sent his close associates to Changping to express their loyalty and explain the difficulties. Lu Changshi and others all believed that Duan Bu was indeed excusable."
"But the Mohu tribe was just the opposite... After the Mohu tribe was forced to surrender that day, thanks to Kebineng's guarantee, the entire army was preserved. However, on the way to Lulongsai, the Mohu tribe suddenly turned back to Chengde, and
The Han flag was raised again. Chengde had a strong city and was backed by the three counties of Guangyang. Kebineng and Qiu Liju were helpless. Kebineng even had no courage to march again because of this and turned back midway..."
"Up to this point, the Mohu tribe has been loyal and impeccable... But when Cheng Xiaowei recaptured Lulongsai after the third battle and once wanted to send troops to capture Guanzi City, the Mohu tribe gradually became a little uneasy.
separated."
"Lü Changshi first wrote to Mo Hu Zhi, stating that he would never pursue the matter at the foot of Bailang Mountain. As long as he came to Changping, he could provide food and grass assistance. However, Mo Hu Zhi just pretended to be ill and never left."
"Later, Lu Changshi took a step back and told the other party that if they were suspicious and fearful, it was okay not to enter the border wall, but they had to assist Cheng Xiaowei to capture Guanzi City and capture Zhang Ju! But Mohu Zheng still wrote back saying that he was sick, and then stood still. Even
Instead, he sent a letter asking where the king was? He also asked about the situation in the world!"
"How dare he ask about the situation in the world?!" When Gongsun Xun heard this, he laughed angrily.
"Your Majesty," Han Hao bowed his head and told him. "Lü Changshi had doubts about Mohu's tribe from then on... In fact, it's not that Cheng Xiaowei didn't want to go out to attack Guanzi City and defeat Zhang Ju, but Mohu's tribe was there
Chengde is really too scary to move lightly. What if when we go to Guanzicheng, Mohubu suddenly opens the passage, allowing Kebi to lead troops to dig out our army's retreat? But if we capture Chengde first, Mohubu will react badly.
It is not yet clear that the situation is really getting urgent. Mohu Zang relies on Chengde and asks Kebineng and Qiu Liju for help. What if he is under a fortified city and is attacked by two sides? Therefore, Lu Changshi said that Mohu's troops are based in Chengde.
Living among the three parties and promoting his own status, although he has repeatedly expressed his loyalty and has never fought with the Wuhuan people, he is actually in the greatest trouble!"
"I understand." Gongsun Xun suddenly raised his hand to signal. "Now, Zhang Ju claims to be emperor without authorization. He is stationed at Guanzi City, two hundred miles north of Lulong Sai. Although he is a clown, he has the support of Wuhuan in western Liaoning.
In order to rely on it; Qiu Liju led tens of thousands of people from Wuhuan in western Liaoning to occupy Liucheng, five hundred miles north of Lulongsai. While cutting off the traffic in Youzhou, he also intended to integrate hundreds of ethnic groups in western Liaoning and form their own system; then on the grassland
Ke Bi Neng had more soldiers and was more powerful, and Yin Yin and Qiu Liju supported each other; in the end, it was Mohu Zang who lived in Xianbei, Wuhuan and us. With his own troops and a city, Yin Yin could
Raising one's worth and growing one's ambitions...is this what you mean?"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Han Hao bowed in response.
"Do you have anything to say?" Gongsun Xunfu looked back at Lou Gui, Xi Zhong, and Gongsun Fan, who had been silent.
Of course, there are also several righteous military officers who accompanied him on this expedition.
"Trouble!" Lou Gui thought for a moment, but he also had a severe headache. "Qiu Liju is certainly the culprit, but the court is more important. From our perspective, Mo Hu Zang is the most critical, but in the long run, it is Ke
Bi Neng is finally a serious threat... and the four are closely linked. Just in case, we should make complete preparations... Your Majesty, since the situation is stable for the time being, it is better to wait for the spring plowing to end, and then mobilize the army to go out!"
"Now that the Lord is back, Mohu Zang doesn't dare to really rebel!" Xi Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "It's better to take Guanzicheng first to deal with the imperial court, and then talk about other things..."
"Let's talk about it back to Changping!" Gongsun Xun thought for a moment, but could only give the order with an expressionless face. "Write a letter to Mohu Zang and ask him to come to Changping to see me... Then he told Yi Zhongzhan and Mohu
Those people, don't think too much, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong...Finally, everyone has been on the road for a long time. Now that you have arrived at Zhuojun, just take a good rest and don't worry about anything else."
After saying this, he ignored the fact that the sky was still bright and he actually lay down on the couch indoors with his head closed and his eyes closed.
But from Gongsun Fan on down, although everyone had something to say, they did not dare to disturb him, so they left carefully.
