It is east of Yuzhong County in Jincheng and west of Guanchuan River in Wuwei County.
In the rolling wilderness, there is a leeward mountain col, where the newly built camp of the Wei army is located, with large and small tents spread out in sequence between the sky and the earth. The howling wind makes the lonely military flag rustle, making it even more empty and spacious.
desolate.
This place was once called "Muyuan".
As the name suggests, it was a horse ranch established by the Han Dynasty after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the border.
And because of the horse ranch and the garrison's protection, countless common people moved here spontaneously and gradually evolved into a settlement.
However, due to the Qiang rebellion in the last years of Emperor Ling's reign, the entire Liangzhou and Guanzhong Sanfu were reduced to separatist areas of various warlords, with no order and constant melee. The gathering point in Muyuan was not guarded by imperial soldiers and horses.
And the empty terrain that could not withstand raids was reduced to ruins.
Now, here, only the war has left the land covered with desolation.
Grave mounds, bones, rubble, broken walls and barren fields, as well as a few small trees that were lucky enough not to be cut down for firewood, tell the story of the grandeur of thousands of galloping horses in the past, as well as the decline of the great Han Weijia.
Perhaps, God cannot bear to see the desolation of this place.
Snowflakes are falling from the sky, like countless butterflies flying, and like catkins jumping for joy. The white snow brings a piece of ice and jade to the world, and removes the dirt of the world.
All the filth is covered up.
It's just that sometimes, people don't do what God wants.
Suddenly, a horse's hoof as big as a bowl struck the ground hard.
The thin layer of snow was peeled away, sand mixed with withered grass ashes was raised, and the black and yellow color of the ground was revealed again.
"Kick!"
"Kick! Kick!!"
One after another, more and more horses' hooves fell hard, causing the earth to groan in pain, which flowed into the cold wind and drifted into the ears of Xu Miao, the governor of Wei Liangzhou.
It made him feel that this year's winter cold had penetrated into his bones and chilled all the blood in his body.
Because this war horse is flowing across the river, it is the Bald Tribe of Xianbei.
Especially because he is from Jixian County, Youzhou.
Since childhood, we have encountered the decline of the Han Dynasty, and countless barbarians have invaded various counties and counties in Youzhou through Xianbei.
I have seen Hulu snatching away the food, livestock and property of the common people of the Han family, and turning the sons of the Han family into sheep slaves on the grassland. I have also seen the woman's eyes wide open with anger when her body was completely dead, and there were still several feet of children.
Corpses of various shapes were lying on the road.
In every village and every township in Youzhou, there are the bones of those killed by the Xianbei and Wuwan barbarians.
Since the time of Emperor Ling, the counties on the fringes of You, Liang, and Liang Prefectures have been raided by Xianbei bandits every year. Every winter and spring is the time when Hulu horses trample on the dignity of the Han family, and countless Li Shu people are killed.
.
In his hometown, even the white-haired father-in-law would try his best to straighten his slightly trembling body, raise his sword and roar against the Xianbei cavalry, inspiring countless young people to bravely resist the Hulu invaders.
But now, the imperial court actually invited Xianbei into Guanzhong!
At that time, when he heard the news, he sent several letters to Luoyang and sincerely asked the emperor Cao Rui and the Dukes Gonggun to change this decision.
Not only was he speaking out of private anger, but he was also speaking out of public concern.
The Xianbei barbarians are just like beasts!
How can we lure the wolf into the house!
In order to get the emperor Cao Rui to change his mind, he did not hesitate to send a private message to his old boss Sima Yi, asking him to jointly submit a letter of remonstrance as a minister of Gu Ming.
However, Sima Yi did not submit a letter, and Cao Rui did not change his mind.
He just issued an edict to comfort him.
It is claimed that luring Xianbei into Guanzhong is a temporary measure, and intermittent wars have consumed its strength, so it is not enough to cause trouble.
Such words made him heartbroken.
There is some deep-seated anger that cannot be understood by those who have not experienced it personally.
Emperor Cao Rui and the Dukes of Gungun, who grew up in the Central Plains, had no way of knowing what the introduction of Xianbei meant to the Han people in You and Liang.
These generations of scholars, whose relatives were killed by the Xianbei barbarians, will hold the blood feud and spurn the battle flag with the word "Wei" from now on!
I will also miss Han Jing who fought bloody battles with Xianbei in the past!
Having been single-handedly promoted by Wei Wu and Cao Cao, he would not turn a blind eye to such a result no matter what.
Therefore, he once again went to the court to remonstrate with tears of blood.
He also proposed another way to resist the rebellion of Shu: the Qiang and Hu tribes in Liangzhou could be moved into Guanzhong.
He has no prejudice against the Qiang people of Liangzhou and the Hu people such as Lu Shui, Huang Shui, Qin Hu and Xiao Yueshi.
Because the Han people wear their hair tied, the Qiang people in Liangzhou wear their hair loose, and the Xianbei people in the desert have their hair combed.
With kindness and righteousness, we can still hope that one day the Qianghu tribe in Liangzhou, which was incorporated into the Central Plains Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, will learn how to tie up their hair like the sons of the Han family.
But how can Xianbei, who has long hair, expect them to tie their hair?
Changing customs does not happen overnight!
However, his appearance again did not change anything.
At the end of October in winter, Guo Huai, the new governor of Jincheng, came with more than 4,000 Xianbei cavalry. He also received an order from General Cao Zhen, asking him to prepare supplies and other supplies.
It also made him feel that this year's wind was particularly biting.
"Bo Ji, your late father was the prefect of Yanmen, and he protected the common people from the Xianbei invaders. I didn't expect that today, you would eat and enjoy the same banquet with these barbarians!"
Out of anger, he used these words to welcome Guo Huai to take office.
Let Guo Huai's face be red and shameless.
In fact, Guo Huai couldn't help himself.
If he had a choice, he would not associate with these Xianbei barbarians.
However, General Cao Zhen had a favor to protect him. This time, he specially sent the Xianbei Bald Hair Tribe to harass Shu Longyou. He enlisted Yang Fu, who was also the governor of Fufeng, to jointly recommend him as the governor of Jincheng, granting him the power to lead the army again. .
And when they were leaving, Shang held his hands and said to him, "I know that Bo Ji disdains the Xianbei barbarians, but in the land of Liangzhou, no one but Bo Ji can supervise the war! I hope that Bo Ji will put the country first and endure the humiliation for the time being. I will wait for Longyou." Take it back, and I will destroy all these barbarians! Don't let Bo Ji's reputation be criticized by future generations!"
Such a courtesy and virtuous corporal, entrusting him with important tasks and being considerate of his heart made Guo Huai unable to resist Cao Zhen's orders.
He also couldn't get angry with Xu Miao who mocked him.
After a long silence, he sighed loudly and returned with his courtesy, "Why should you speak harshly to me? I am a minister and I should fulfill my duties loyally. Although I am unwilling, I am not good enough, so I dare not go against my ears. "
This remark gave Xu Miao a glimmer of hope.
Because of Guo Huai's words, he knew that many officials and leading generals in the border areas were very critical of the introduction of Xianbei into the pass.
If he has a plan to expel Nishu from Longyou, then he can unite everyone to go to Luoyang and ask Emperor Cao Rui to expel the Xianbei Hulu!
Give back to me the clear world of Han family's clothes, ethics and etiquette!
Therefore, he wrote a letter in his own hand and sent someone to visit Chu, the governor of Longxi, who had surrendered to Ni Shu.
He advised him to abandon Shu and return to Wei, and informed Didao of the deployment of the garrison in Shu.
Because the Tao River flows into the river from south to north, it is a natural line of defense.
Starting from the Western Qin Dynasty during the Warring States Period, the Great Wall and garrison points were built along the Tao River to guard the tranquility of Longyou. Didao was the only city built on the west bank of the Tao River.
As long as the Wei State obtains Didao, the army can use Didao as a breakthrough point to launch a mighty raid along the Tao River to Lintao, intimidating Wudu and Yinping County, thereby cutting off the retreat of the rebels against Shu, and allowing the rebels to retreat. We had to send all the troops back to help.
Furthermore, the defense of Longyou was empty, making it easy for Wei to recapture it.
However, it is a pity.
You Chu wrote back with stern words of rejection.
"Chu Chang heard that if a person has no faith, he will not stand. Although Chu is a mean man on one side, he does not dare to be capricious. In the past, he has failed to Wei Wei, and now he does not dare to fail to the Han Dynasty again. Moreover, many people in Chu's hometown died because of Xianbei, we dare not join forces with Qiu Yu and dishonor our ancestors!"
Such a reply made Xu Miao feel heartbroken again.
The worries he expressed to Cao Rui of Luoyang before finally turned into reality: Xianbei's entry into Guanzhong triggered a rebellion among the people in the border areas.
Even the assistants who were promoted by Cao Cao of Wei Wu could not help but feel alienated.
Therefore, he was not annoyed that those who traveled to Chu would not return to Wei.
The first is that traveling to Chu will not be a loss to Wei.
There is a law in Wei law: "Those who defend the city and are attacked for a hundred days but cannot be rescued will not be able to sit down at home even if they surrender."
At that time, when the army of Ni Shu came out of Longyou and approached Longxi County, Li Shu, the generals and soldiers in Shuai Li County of Yu Chu, went out of the city to form a formation in order to fight to the death. They did not die before the battle, but they were just telling Ni Shu that their own troops were weak. Let the Shu army stop and go back on their own.
Later, General Cao Zhen's rescue failed, and Ni Shu came to press him again. You Chu also managed to defend his territory for a hundred days.
On the other hand, he felt some vague self-blame.
Jincheng County borders Longxi County, and Cao Rui appointed him as the governor of Liangzhou, envoy Chijie, and had the authority to send troops into Longxi to rescue Yu Chu.
However, at that time, there were faint movements among the Qiang and Hu tribes in the counties of Liangzhou, and all the counties in Longyou were looking forward to the wind. Tang Fan, the leader of the Qiang people at the head of the river, lured the Qiang and Hu tribes in Xiping County to raise troops together, so that he, who did not have many troops, He did not dare to send troops to rescue him. As a result, the Youchu army could not defend itself and had no choice but to surrender.
However, Xu Miao also had other choices as he traveled to Chu and did not return to Wei.
He once served as the governor of Longxi and Nan'an counties!
In the past few years, I dare not say that his disciples and old officials were all over Longyou, but there were also many people who remembered their old friendship, felt that he had called him to Wei, and were willing to serve him.
Based on the detailed operations previously sent to Longyou, we should be able to detect some movements of the troops garrisoned in Nishu, right?
well.
I hope that the detailed information from the exploration will allow me to persuade other generals to send troops together.
Xu Miao, who was standing outside the tent of the central army in the camp, saw the Xianbei Bald Troops getting closer and closer. He raised his head and looked at the military flag with the word "Wei" that was being pulled by the wind and was whimpering. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"I have delivered all the luggage, grain, fodder and other items ordered by the general."
Turning his head and looking at Guo Huai, who was standing side by side, Xu Miao bowed his hands in salute and said in a light voice, "If Bo Ji has no other needs, I have other things to do, so I will leave and go back."
"I dare not disturb you anymore."
Guo Huai also saluted and said goodbye.
After finishing his words, he hesitated slightly, and then added, "I know that you don't want to see these Xianbei barbarians. In the future, you can send people to deliver food, fodder, baggage, etc. to Jincheng. I will inform my generals again and let them wait." The transfer came here."
Hearing this, Xu Miao looked slightly stunned.
Immediately, he turned around and left with frowning eyebrows, whispering in the cold wind from his back, "Bo Ji is interested."
"Those who rebelled against the Wei Dynasty were eunuchs and ugly men. They had no virtue and loved chaos and misfortune! They continued Dong Zhuo's invasion of officials and tyranny of the country, harming the loyal and virtuous, in order to establish his treacherous power, cause chaos in the world, and steal sacred artifacts. His crime is
Unforgiven! Now we have brought barbarians to invade our Han Dynasty's land of Longyou, and they have tortured our sons of the Han family. They have done so cruelly and brutally, robbing Yuan Yuan. People are angry and heaven is angry! This is the autumn when loyal ministers' livers and brains will be ruined! You all, if you don't want to be like this,
The bones are buried under the hooves of the Hulu, and the wives and children at home, as well as the fathers and elders of the village, have been killed by Xiao Xuan. We should use our swords and fight vigorously to drive out the Huru, get rid of the traitors, and protect our Han family's clothes and honor!"
In the newly established academy of Tianshui County and Hebei County, there was a Confucian scholar sitting on his knees. Although he was already over sixty years old, he had a strong appearance and long beard and hair, and he was shouting at the many young scholars under the table.
, lashing out at Ni Wei.
He is the shooting aid.
He was rarely famous and was the son-in-law of the late Taiwei Huangfu Song.
Before Emperor Xian went eastward, there was famine and chaos among the three auxiliaries in Guanzhong. He and his brother Shejian resigned from their posts and moved south to Shu to support Liu Zhang. After the Battle of Hanzhong, he was one of the twelve important ministers who persuaded the late emperor to ascend the throne of Hanzhong.
Later, he was appointed by the Prime Minister as a wine worshiper, focusing on culture and education, and moved to Zhonglang.
Now that the Han Dynasty has recaptured the land of Longyou, the Prime Minister, because of his reputation in Longyou and Guanzhong, asked him to also lead the Liangzhou Biejia, continue to be in charge of culture and education, and promote the favor of the Han Dynasty.
For example, the Huangfu family is a famous family in Anding County and has great prestige.
Although they are now in a state of decline, many of their tribesmen have been relocated to various states and counties in the Central Plains.
However, the Qianghu tribe in Liangzhou has never forgotten the benevolence and kindness of Huangfu Gui, one of the Three Ming Dynasties in Liangzhou, and the illustrious reputation of the famous general Huangfu Song.
Shooting aid only needs to be taught in the academy, which can more or less arouse the sense of belonging of the Longyou scholars to the Han Dynasty.
The reason why he still criticizes Cao Wei with such generosity in addition to teaching now is because he is from You Fufeng. But now the move against Wei has made the place where his ancestors' tombs are used as a horse herding land for Xianbei Hulu.
The young scholars in the academy were all excited when they heard his words.
When everyone went home at dusk, they still had lingering memories in their hearts, and word of mouth spread the word to their elders in the countryside, determined to fight for the Han Dynasty.
However, the behavior of some scholars was somewhat unusual.
Although the excitement on Mingming's face was still there, his eyes were wandering and he was peeking around with the corner of his eye.
Occasionally when passing through a small street, a small piece of cloth hidden in a wide sleeve will inadvertently slip into a small corner out of sight. If nothing unexpected happens, there will soon be a commoner dressed as an Orion or a shepherd.
Passing by here, while bending down to adjust the corners of his clothes, he held the small piece of cloth in his hands and hid it close to his body in his clothes.
The next day, they would go out of the city to cut firewood or shepherd sheep, and pass the small piece of cloth to others.
Scholars are not the only ones who do such things.
There are also wanderers, craftsmen, Qiang Hu who were recruited to work in the fields, or merchants and county soldiers who surrendered in the past.
However, the news they conveyed would eventually be gathered in Didao, Longxi County, where the county chief, Jiang, was working.
Naturally, they didn't notice that even when they thought everything was unaware, several pairs of eyes were still staring silently.
They also delivered the news to Didao earlier than them, to Zheng Pu, who had been stationed in Longxi for more than a month.

With tears in my eyes, I thank the boss "Zhen Qiu" for the alliance leader reward!
I don't want to be mediocre, but I am actually worthy of being an alliance leader. I am shocked and frightened~~~
