After all, Fu Qian was only in his twenties. Even if he had a good father, he still didn't have the ability to express his emotions and anger. Sitting outside the door, although he tried his best to appear unfazed, but how could that be possible? On the contrary
Yang Hui next to him seemed much calmer because he was older.
The envoys from the princes and Yang Qiu left one after another. When passing by, some recognized him as the son of Marquis Zhuangjie and said hello to him. Others who did not recognize him glanced at him casually and left in a hurry. Like
It was Yang Qiu, Minister of the Ministry of War. After he came out, he ignored the people outside and ran straight out, jumped on his horse and left.
This made Fu Qian more and more anxious, and he began to doubt. Why hasn't the envoy summoned me in yet? Could it be that something has changed? No, no, that's definitely not the case!
Just when I was feeling anxious, the long-awaited voice finally sounded from inside the door, "My lord has an order, and Fu Qian is ordered to come to court to see you!"
After waiting for a long sound, Fu Qian did not stand up immediately. Instead, he froze for a moment. Only after Yang Hui secretly pushed him did he wake up. He straightened his clothes and, under the guidance of the soldier,
He stepped over the threshold and crossed the long corridor, then took off his shoes and walked to the lobby.
Rows of elite soldiers wearing iron armor stood on the edge of the hall, and there were several armored generals sitting on the left and right sides of the hall. On the upper seat, a person sat casually. Fu Qian did not dare to look carefully, but
After taking a sneak peek, I felt my heart beating violently.
Chen Shijun has such a strong domineering spirit, why didn't you notice it last time?
He took a few steps forward, prostrated himself on the ground, and said, "Greetings to Mr. Chen!"
Chen Cheng looked at Yan Zhong's place next to him. Yan Zhong understood, stepped forward, unfolded the bamboo slips, and said loudly: "In the autumn of October of the first year of Chuping, Julu Hou Cheng, a herdsman in Liangzhou, wrote: Wen Zhuangjiehou Fu Xie's son Qian
, skilled in bow and horse, agile and eager to learn, willing to do good deeds, and able to obey others, he can serve as an example for the scholars and people of Liangzhou. Therefore, I worship Qian as the prefect of Quan Shuofang, the subordinate country, the captain of the Ministry of Agriculture, the small mansion, and the county magistrate.
Books are used for writing, and they should be used next time, just like edicts!"
Fu Qian's whole body was shaking slightly. He tried to keep himself calm, stretched out his hands, respectfully took the edict, and then said loudly: "I, Fu Qian, will do my best to govern Shuofang for the Lord!"
Yan Zhong smiled and helped Fu Qian up. As soon as Fang took it, he felt something strange in his hand. He looked at the other man's wrist and saw that his sleeves were trembling slightly. He couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, so he said warmly: "Prefect Fu,
Please take the ribbon."
Fu Qian took the ribbon over and still felt as if he was in a dream. He thought that his father had been an official for more than ten years, but in the end he only reached the rank of prefect of Hanyang, and was posthumously named "Zhuangjiehou" after his death. And he
As soon as he entered the official career, he was awarded the position of prefect?
After receiving the invitation from Chen Shijun, he also thought about whether to refuse, but when he saw the words "Shuofang Prefecture", he immediately agreed. From then on, he began to worry about gains and losses. Now
He held the Shuofang Prefecture Seal in his hand. Although there was still the word "quan" in front of it, he was confident that as long as he worked hard, the word "quan" would soon be removed!
Fu Qian took the edict and the seal, bowed again, and then exited the lobby. The things in his hands were not heavy, but they made him feel heavy. Just holding them made him feel at ease. Until this time, he
It was as if he had fallen back to the earth from the clouds, and his feet were on the ground again.
Compared with the anxiety he felt when he came, he now takes every step calmly and steadily. Fu Qian put on his shoes calmly, walked through the corridor, then crossed the threshold and returned to the front yard.
Under the eaves of the corridor, Yang Hui's eyes lit up when he saw Fu Qian. He immediately stood up and asked, "How is it?"
Although his voice was calm, Fu Qian could hear the urgency in it, just like himself not long ago. Fu Qian raised the edict and seal a little higher, and said with a smile: "The Lord has appointed me as the official
Governor Shuofang."
A smile suddenly bloomed on Yang Hui's face, and he said to Fu Gan: "That's great!"
Immediately, he sighed again and said: "If Nanrong Gong knows something underground, he will be able to smile like a child!"
For Chen Cheng, the most important thing now is stability. Whether it is appointing Yang Qiu as Minister of War, or appointing Fu Qian as Shuofang Prefect, or distributing fields and money to meritorious soldiers, it is all for the sake of stability. Only stability can develop.
When he fled from Luoyang in embarrassment, he had already thought that he must have a piece of his own territory and then implement the policies he planned.
The war with the Huns once ruined his plan, but now that the Huns have been generally pacified, it is time to pick up the original plan again. Chen Cheng plans to spend a year first to train officers and develop production, and then
Mint currency, build factories, and then use both economic and military means to completely tie the princes of Liangzhou to their own chariots.
Then, it was time to expand outward. The plan was perfect, but something seemed to go wrong at the first step.
Han Sui held the territory of three counties and had many soldiers. After receiving the "Ming Ding Guo Shi Order" issued by Chen Cheng, he was very disdainful, but he had no intention of challenging Chen Cheng, Cheng Yi and Yang Qiu's military alliance now.
He is a scheming person who has always been good at forbearing. Now that Chen Cheng and others are holding the power of defeating the Xiongnu, it is not appropriate to face them head-on. Let's wait until there is a rift between them.
He judged others by himself and did not believe how long the military alliance between Chen Cheng and the others could last. However, he did not want to take action now, and Chen Cheng suppressed Cheng Yi and Yang Qiu not to take action, but there were people who couldn't wait to provoke a fight.
A new war.
After He Jin completely took control of Luoyang City, he was so proud that he discovered a fatal problem within a few days: he had no money.
Having no money is actually not a bad thing. Arrears in military pay is a routine operation before the demise of every dynasty. It is nothing. But at the same time, he also does not have enough food to feed his hundreds of thousands of troops. Yes, stability in Luoyang City
After coming down, many King Qin's troops still came over, further expanding the force in He Jin's hands.
However, most of the imperial arsenal and Taicang were burned down, and taxes from various places were reduced by more than half. First, Liu Yan, the herdsman of Yizhou, came to the table and said that Zhang Lu of Hanzhong blocked the road and could not transport even a grain of rice. Although Liu Biao of Jingzhou
I'm respectful, but Jingzhou has just been pacified, and if we can deliver tens of thousands of shi of grain to Luoyang this year, it will be incredible.
Chen Cheng led the soldiers and horses from Wuwei County in the north to defeat the Huns, which was an achievement that shocked the world, but compared with Liu Biao's single-handed victory over Jingzhou, it seemed too rough. Liu Yan pacified Yizhou, Liu Biao pacified Jingzhou, and Liu Yu conquered Jingzhou alone.
When they arrived in Youzhou, they surrendered the Wuhuan people and asked the Wuhuan people to send Zhang Chun's head.
Together with Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, and Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, the five Han clan clan members actually stabilized half of the world. If we also include Liu Chong, the king of Chen, who had tens of thousands of troops, it seems that the world still belongs to the Liu family.
However, although these Han clan clansmen stabilized the place, they did not have much food to provide to the Luoyang court. The more troops He Jin had, the more restless he became. Soldiers gather with pay, but disperse without food. Failure to pay military pay may not necessarily cause trouble, but
If the soldiers have nothing to eat, there will be big trouble.
Because there was not enough food in Taicang, military expenses were reduced again and again. In September, soldiers rushed into the city and robbed it. For this reason, He Jin lost his temper and chopped off the heads of hundreds of soldiers.
However, it is easy to cut off a person's head, but very difficult to fill his stomach.
Because the Emperor Liu Bian was still young, General He Jin and the Queen Mother He were regents. At the court meeting, He Jin asked the important ministers of the court to come up with solutions. However, Yuan An, He Yong and others talked for a long time, but they were all nonsense.
He Jin knew that there was a lot of food in various manors near Luoyang, so he summoned the courtiers just to get them to take out the food, but how could that be possible?
If these important officials of the imperial court were willing to break up their families and build a country, how could they cause the Yellow Turban Rebellion?
The court meeting was held for several days in a row, but ended unhappy. He Jin had no way to get food, so he had to reduce the number of people eating. So he appointed Ding Yuan, the former governor of Bingzhou, as the general to conquer the west, and led 30,000 troops.
Stationed in Chang'an. He Jin's original intention was to station the army in various places to reduce the food pressure in Luoyang, but Ding Yuan did not want to sit idle in Chang'an.
Only three days after he took office, he summoned Huangfu Song to Chang'an to discuss how to invade Liangzhou. Huangfu Song was a famous general in the world, and his prestige was even higher than that of Ding Yuan. However, although he used troops like a god, he was courteous and cautious.
After receiving Ding Yuan's order, he immediately rushed from Fufeng County to Chang'an.
Huangfu Song strongly objected to attacking Liangzhou now, but Ding Yuan's generals, including Lu Bu, agreed to attack Liangzhou to the west. Yin Gaixun of Jingzhao also did not agree to attack Liangzhou. He said to Ding Yuan: "Although General Huangfu is here,
The Xiliang army was defeated a few months ago, but the Xiliang cavalry is extremely powerful, and Han Sui and other generals have been in the army for a long time and are well versed in military affairs, so I am afraid it will not be that easy to win."
Dante was originally appointed by the imperial court as a general to conquer the West. He had the power to control the armies in Guanzhong. Now that he had made up his mind, Gai Xun and Huangfu Song could only obey orders unless they wanted to rebel. But Huangfu Song would never do that.
He was a rebel. He once had hundreds of thousands of soldiers at his disposal. He didn't rebel at that time. How could he rebel now?
As for Gai Xun, not to mention whether he had any thoughts of rebellion, he only had 5,000 soldiers and horses, and he did not have the strength to rebel at all. So Ding Yuan gave an order, Chang'an and his three assistants began to transport food and grass to Fufeng.
When the weather was cool at the end of the month, he took Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and other generals to march westward and entered Hanyang County.
The powerful people in Hanyang County were originally planning to cause trouble while Han Sui's main force was stationed in Jincheng County. At this time, facing the pressure from the imperial army, they could only put aside their thoughts of making a big news and rallied around Han Sui.
, and confront the officers and soldiers.
In the final analysis, they wanted to rebel against Han Sui because Han Sui plundered the county fiercely in order to maintain a huge army. Not only did the people have to bear heavy taxes and labor, but even powerful men like them had to pay taxes and serve.
But compared with the imperial court, Han Sui can be considered cute.
Han Sui only scratched the ground, but the imperial court wanted to knock the bones and suck out the marrow. In this case, you can't blame everyone for voting with their feet.
