Chapter 35: The Prefect Covers Liaodong for a Half Moon
Summer has entered in April, and more than a month has passed since the death of the emperor. Luozhong has already been in a bloody storm, and the clouds are treacherous. However, for Liaodong, which is thousands of miles away from Luoyang, there is no sense that the storm is coming.
the taste of.
Or to put it simply, even if there is a slight storm here, it has passed long ago.
More than half a month ago, Zhao Bao, the governor of Liaodong under the command of General Zhao Bao, the governor of Liaodong, came from the sea. Almost as soon as he took office, he immediately mobilized 20,000 horses from several counties to besiege Wuhuan, Liaodong. However, it did not cause any waves...
...This is because Wuhuan in Liaodong is really weak. Su Puyan, who calls himself King Qiao, fights on the inside and uses all the strength of his clan, plus some miscellaneous people who are coerced, to only manage to amass five or six thousand cavalry.
In the face of the overwhelming power of the Han army, Qiu Liju, who was on the west side of Wulu Mountain, simply went back on his word. He had no reinforcements at all, and Su Puyan, who had disproportionate strength and equipment, could only act decisively.
Defeat after defeat!
After being defeated all the way to the situation before him, he actually lost his home, and only seventy or eighty miserable people were left around him. At this time, he was crossing Liaoze hard, preparing to go to Liuchengqiu Liju in order to survive.
"Your Majesty!" Facing Su Puyan, who claimed to be King Qiao, and returning from exploring the road, this miserable remnant soldier of Wuhuan in Liaodong used a very unique title. "The road has been found! Follow the bay on the left.
By forking, you can go all the way to the south of Yiwulu Mountain, and then go straight to a ferry on the Daling River... I saw from a distance that there were four or five large ships, but only a dozen Han troops, all in front of the local ferry.
The original people of the pavilion are the ones who take care of the pavilion."
The remaining defeated generals lost their composure upon hearing this, and Su Puyan even let out a sigh of relief as he fell into the mud.
By the way, the terrain outside the Han Dynasty must be reiterated here... Needless to say, western Liaoning has a typical hilly terrain, and eastern Liaoning has a plain terrain. However, between Liaodong and western Liaoning lies the famous medical village known as Beizhen.
Wulu Mountain and a large area of swampland that existed in both the north and the south were all lost in Liaoze in later generations.
As for the main rivers, in addition to the Liao River that forms the Liao River Plain from north to south, the Daling River and Xiao Ling River are also two rivers that cannot be ignored in this area... mainly because the directions of these two rivers are so interesting.
Not to mention the Xiaoling River, the Daling River originates in the hills of western Liaoning and goes north for hundreds of miles. When it reaches the outside of Liucheng, it suddenly turns east and then reaches Yiwulu Mountain, but is blocked by the mountains again and is forced to
It turned to the south and finally entered the Bohai Sea.
In other words, this is a crutch-shaped river that wraps up Western Liaoning, and the traditional territory of Wuhuan in Western Liaoning is within the area wrapped by this Daling River. Correspondingly, the Han Empire also built Liucheng and Guanzicheng
, Lulong fortress formed a line of defense that not only protected the Liaoxi Passage, but also defended the Xianbei people and isolated the Wuhuan people.
As for Qiu Liju and Taodun, they had been worried about Zhao Bao's sudden arrival. It was not unreasonable. First, across Yiwulu Mountain and Liaoze, the climate in Liaodong was completely different from that in western Liaoning... In other words, it was raining in western Liaoning.
It may not rain in Liaodong, and although the water level of the Liao River will rise due to the tributaries, Zhao Bao still has the opportunity and ability to organize a crossing of the river when the weather is clear; secondly, the terrain conditions are too complex, and Liaodong and Liaoxi these days
In between, there are swamps, rivers, mountains, and cities. In such a situation, it is really difficult to find traces of an army.
By the same token, Su Puyan, who was already extremely embarrassed, was naturally overjoyed when he heard that a certain crossing of the Daling River was ahead... After all, the weather had cleared up in the Daling River Basin at this time, and seventy or eighty of them made a surprise attack.
If you take a ferry and then cross the river calmly, wouldn't you be able to escape?
The terrain was so complicated, so the Han army had no time to pursue it, right?
When I thought of this, and then thought of the hard work of crossing the swamp, and the persistence of these seventy or eighty warriors beside me, Qiao King Su Puyan also burst into tears for a moment, and then he actually took out a small knife and cut the palm of his hand to bleed.
, and swore in public:
"Everyone, if we successfully cross the river this time, it means that heaven will not abandon me, Su Puyan! In the past, my ancestors were favored by God, and only ten people fell into thousands of rivers. Then I, Su Puyan, will definitely be able to achieve great things again in the future!
But if you don’t abandon me today, I will definitely treat you as my confidant in the future. Any capture will be shared equally, and any misfortune will be shared.”
Seeing this, all the subordinates did not dare to neglect, so they all knelt down, then cut their palms and swore to obey.
After some tossing, the seventy or eighty remnants regained some of their energy, and then forced themselves to continue marching along the fork of the bay in the swamp. They were even more delighted when they followed the scout who led the way to the pavilion at the ferry.
Victory... It turns out that what the scout said was not false at all. There were really only a dozen Han troops at the Tingshe Ferry, and they were unprepared. However, there were four or five large boats tied to the ferry!
A group of Wuhuan deserters, who had already lost their horses and crossbows due to their previous embarrassment, roared loudly and followed Su Puyan with spears and barefoot sprints like savages. A dozen Han soldiers saw the intruder.
, all turned pale with fright, and immediately fled to the pavilion courtyard in front of the ferry. Su Puyan was even more happy when he saw this, and instead repeatedly shouted to save the lives of these Han soldiers... because they still needed these Han soldiers to help them row the boat.
.
However, when this group of extremely noisy Wuhuan people, led by Qiao King Su Puyan, burst into the pavilion courtyard, they were like ducks being strangled by the throat, and they instantly lost their voices.
It turned out that in front of the main hall of the pavilion courtyard, facing the gate, there was actually a simplified version of the Taiwei chair common in western Liaoning, that is, the kind without armrests, and sitting on the chair was a Han warrior.
.I saw that this man was tall, with a handsome face, wearing iron armor, hard boots, and a white feather on his helmet. He looked majestic.
However, what is more interesting is that although this person is sitting there motionless, he is holding a particularly conspicuous hard bow with horns in his hand, and the arrows have been set, and the crossbow has been opened, and it is pointing towards the door.
For hair!
Starting from Su Puyan and below, a group of Wuhuan deserters who poured into the courtyard were frightened and lost their voices when they saw this person. They even stood frozen and did not dare to move without permission, as if they had known this person for a long time.
And just when these people were thirsty and frightened, they saw a commotion inside and outside the pavilion. Not only dozens of Han soldiers with swords poured out of the pavilion, but the sound of horse hooves and the screams of Wuhuan people were heard outside the courtyard.
Voice.
Obviously, Su Puyan fell into a trap.
"Don't move." The Han warrior sitting on the chair with his bow stretched out was so calm and unhurried. "I will shoot whoever moves first..."
Everyone below Su Puyan was frightened and unbearable.
"Don't be afraid of the messenger over there." Seeing these people calm down, the Han warrior signaled to a Wuhuan man on the opposite side. "I keep my word. Since I promised you, I will
With a reward of 50,000 yuan, I will definitely agree with you and promise to help you find your family, and I will do my best... Come over slowly and follow us. The others also shaved their heads, washed their faces, and
You can honestly find a job on the Amway, or if you don't have enough money, you can help the Amway run away. Isn't it better than running away with this stupid king? As long as you drop your weapons and squat down with your heads in your hands, I won't kill you.
"
Su Buyan did not dare to look back, but he could already hear the roar behind him, as if most of the people had betrayed him, so he chose to throw down his spear. Thinking of the situation where everyone had just sworn an oath together, he was also filled with grief and anger. And this kind of
His grief and anger finally reached its peak when he saw from the corner of his eye the scout who had led the way happily bypassing him and walking towards the Han warriors on the opposite side!
Seeing this man coming in front of him, Su Buyan no longer hesitated. He gritted his teeth and grabbed the spear, trying to kill this man to vent his hatred. However, before it was too late, Su Buyan raised his hand.
, I felt numbness in the palm of my hand...and then a heartbreaking pain! I burst into tears and rolled to the ground with the spear in my arms.
The people around were stunned for a long time before they realized that it was actually the Han warrior who was sitting there who shot an arrow from a dozen steps away, nailing Su Buyan's right hand with the spear!
However, no one around the Han army or even the Wuhuan prisoners expressed surprise at this kind of strength and accuracy.
After the arrow was shot, the warrior shook his head and sighed, then he held the bow and arrow again, then stood up and walked over, saying as he walked: "I already said that as long as you drop your weapon, you will not die. Why do you do this?"
There was a Han soldier nearby who didn't hear well and quickly reminded: "Sima Mo must be confused. Our Duke Zhao's reward is for living people... dead people are worthless."
The warrior shook his head even more when he heard this. He stepped on the shoulder of Su Buyan, who was still struggling in pain, and pressed him so hard that he could not move. Then he turned around and explained: "If you don't say this, you won't stand if you don't have faith.
Since I just said, whoever moves first, I will shoot to death... If Su Buyan moves first, he must be shot to death, otherwise, how will the people in the world think of me in the future?"
The surrounding Han troops were also speechless.
"Are you trying to kill me?!" Su Puyan was stepped on the ground, and the pain in his palms was unbearable. His nose and tears were all squeezed onto the ground, but he actually understood what the other party meant.
"Exactly." The warrior slightly drew back his strength while pointing his bow at the opponent's neck, but he still faced him calmly. "I heard people say that when a person is about to die, even if he is a bitch like a slave, he will die.
He should be allowed to leave a last word. After all, you are a member of the Wuhuan family who has been in Liaodong for more than ten years... If you really have something to say, I can forward it to my Duke Zhao on your behalf!"
"Zhao Gong became famous outside the Great Wall ten years ago. More than a thousand Wuhuan in Liaodong fell into his hands. I have nothing to say." Su Puyan endured the pain and gritted his teeth and said on the ground. "There is only one thing... I trust the most.
My own brother died under your arrows, and the two most trusted generals I relied on also died under your arrows. Now even I have to die under your arrows, but I don’t even know your name. How can I be so willing?!"
"Then I will let you know how to die!" The bow-wielding general chuckled, but remained calm. "The person who killed you was Tai Shici of Beihai! General Meng You refused to give up, and now he is Sima, the subordinate of General You!
"
As he spoke, the bow and arrow in Taishi Ci's hand shot in response. A white feather arrow entered from the back of Su Puyan's neck, almost completely passing through the opponent's neck, and then entered the ground for three points, just like the one just now.
It was as powerful as an arrow, and it actually nailed Su Buyan's neck to the ground.
"Don't be afraid!" After killing the leader of Wuhuan in Liaodong, Taishi Ci still didn't take it seriously. He put away his bow and arrows, walked behind the chair, picked up two halberds and stuck them behind his back, but then pointed them at the early leader.
Wuhuan Scout, who had been frightened and lost his mind, finally comforted him. "I, Taishi Ci, have never broken trust in anyone's life... If Su Puyan's death cannot be exchanged for reward, I will use my own merits in exchange for money. No matter what, I will say
I'll give you 50,000 yuan. However, if you can really redeem your family, it's better not to have any dissatisfaction in the future... As long as Mr. Zhao is here in Liaodong, you people can't turn it over!"
The scout opened his mouth to speak, but was speechless. He could only kneel and kowtow... In fact, whether it was the Wuhuan people on the ground or the Han soldiers standing, everyone had already woken up.
Wuhuan, Liaodong, has come to an end with the arrow shot by Taishi Ziyi just now.
After Taishi Ci successfully solved the last hidden danger in Wuhuan, Liaodong, he said goodbye directly to the chief of the pavilion at the ferry here, and bluntly said that he would report the merits to him, and then took the prisoners, Su Puyan's head, and the four
Five ferries went all the way north along the Daling River... It turned out that during this trip, he also had the task of collecting ships for the Han army in Liaodong to cross the river.
On the contrary, Su Buyan just happened to meet a surrendering scout and did what he did.
However, when Taishi Ci was marching north along the river with the boats he collected, it had only been half a day. Suddenly, there were several Han troops riding white horses on the other side of the river, chasing them from the south across the river... Only after asking did he know
, these Han soldiers wanted to cross the river through the ferry, but they heard that the ferry had been taken away, so they had no choice but to pursue it along the river.
They were all Han troops, and there might be some urgent military situation. Of course, Taishi Ci had no reason to refuse, so he immediately asked people to send boats over to lead the enemy across the river.
"May I ask where this official, Pao Ze, is going?" However, when the other party came to the river, Taishi Ci noticed at a glance that the leaders of these horses were actually wearing black ribbons and copper seals, as if they were at least a song.
The military prince couldn't help but be surprised.
You should know that at this time, most of the other side of the river was occupied by the Wuhuan rebels in western Liaoning, and most of the officers died in the battle. That is to say, the two big cities of Yangle City and Changli City were still Han territories, but the imperial court with more than 600 stones
There are many military officers...how could such an officer suddenly appear?
"I was about to ask you, what is your position and why you are here?" This man naturally noticed Taishi Ci's official rank and such a group of soldiers, and he was also curious.
"Oh!" Taishi Ci didn't take it seriously and immediately said with his hands raised. "Beihai Taishi Ci is now the right general leading the Liaodong prefect Zhao Gongmen's general's office. Zhao Gong has defeated Wuhuan in Liaodong and is about to cross the river, so he is here.
"
"That's it," the man said calmly when he heard this. "I have met Taishi Sima, and I am under Zhao Yun in Changshan. General Mengwei did not give up. He is now the Marquis of Qujun. He was ordered by my general to pay a visit to the old lady Gongsun of Liaodong..."
"General Wei...all five hundred miles in western Liaoning are occupied by the enemy. Since Zhao Quchang came from General Wei, how could he travel five hundred miles to this point?" Tai Shici became more and more confused.
"Five days ago, that is, the day before the weather cleared up, my prince returned to Liucheng, killed Tadun, captured Qiu Liju, beheaded over 10,000 people, captured over 10,000 people, and all the leaders of the hundreds of tribes in western Liaoning came to pay their respects in white... The chaos in western Liaoning has ended
"Ping." Zhao Yun replied calmly. "Er Yun's trip is on the orders of my king. He asked the old lady to come to Liucheng to discuss how to deal with the aftermath."
Taishi Ci wanted to speak but stopped.
