In the eighth year of Jianxing, it was the first month of spring.
Walking through the Maming Pavilion Road in the mountains, the rime decorates the beautiful branches and jade leaves of the trees in the mountains.
Amidst the undulating mountains, sea of mist, snowflakes and white water covered with thin ice, time seems as beautiful as standing still. Along the pavilion corridor covered by wind and snow, the whole body is filled with mist, like a fairyland.
Zheng Pu and his party each held their horses and walked slowly back to Shu.
He was sent by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to lead the tribute envoys from Mangzhong, the king of Qiang, to the court to see the emperor.
Yes, the battle at the head of the river came to an end in November last winter.
If the rebels against Wei do not send troops to support Tang Fan, the leader of the Qiang people, it will not be difficult to capture the three counties of Heguan.
When Ma Dai led the Xiliang cavalry and Hu Zhong to lead Banzhenman across the Daxia River, he led all the main forces of Tang Fan out of Pohan County, allowing the Xihai Shaodang Qiang to find opportunities and pass through Tumen Pass from Baishi County.
Tang Fan's retreat was cut off in one fell swoop.
At a loss, they had no choice but to retreat to Heguan County.
However, if the city is surrendered, the wheat fields and livestock in the wilderness cannot be preserved.
The small tribes that relied on him fell into despair when they saw that their women, children, cattle and sheep were all captured by the Han army and the Shaodang Qiang people, and that they had sent envoys several times to request reinforcements from the Wei Dynasty but failed to arrive. When Ma Dai was trapped in the city for a month,
, claiming that only the head of the culprit was to be killed, internal strife broke out among the Qiang commanders in Heguan County, and they carried Tang Fan's head out of the city and surrendered.
From the time troops were sent out in late July in autumn, to mid-October, banners of the Han Dynasty were all over the river head, and the two sides were almost in confrontation.
Rather than saying that the Han conquered the city, it is better to say that Ma Dai led the army to provide cover, allowing Longxi Governor You Chu to lead officials and people to harvest grain and plunder cattle and sheep.
According to the previous agreement, more than 20,000 households and about 100,000 Qiang people in the three counties of Heshou were moved to Hanzhong and Wudu counties and registered as household registrations.
The strong ones serve as soldiers, while the weak ones herd horses and work in the fields.
Among them, Ma Dai selected more than a thousand people to supplement the Xiliang cavalry.
Jiang Wei, who was not in charge of the Qiang Protector Colonel, finally had soldiers to enrich the Qiang Protector Camp. Together with the Yi Congqi he had recruited earlier, the number of troops directly under his command reached 3,000.
However, he no longer serves as the general of the Tiger Infantry Army.
The two thousand tiger infantry troops that belonged to him were all transferred to Hu Ji by the prime minister, and he was promoted to join the army in the line and led Hu Ji, the general of Zhaowu Zhonglang.
Shaodang Qiang King Mangzhong gained three new counties. In order to maintain the Silk Road trade with the Han Dynasty and hope that the Gaoxiang tribe stationed in Daxia County could resist the Wei army's attack, he sent envoys to pay tribute and ask for a title.
The people from outside the country came to seek support, which was a manifestation of the great Han's power to spread all over the world and comply with the destiny of heaven.
Especially at the time when the Han Dynasty was vigorously restoring its old capital.
Regardless of whether it was to show the benevolence of the court or to give other Qiang and Hu tribes in Liangzhou "a thousand pieces of gold and a piece of bone", the prime minister would not be stingy in his courtesy.
It was the Lord who also led Liangzhou's archery aid as the main envoy to lead the troops back to Chengdu.
He is too old, and it is not suitable to stay in Longyou, where the war is fought. Moreover, Qiao Zhou can already take the post of offering wine in Liangzhou Academy, so let him go back to Chengdu to grow old.
Zheng Pu, who had interacted with Shaodang Qiang King Mangzhong, naturally became one of the candidates to escort the envoy.
Anyway, now there is no intention to send troops against Wei.
In order to protect the connection between Guanzhong and Liangzhou, Wei General Cao Zhen took Xiahou Ba as his general and led more than 10,000 troops into the Qingshui River Basin. Many conflicts broke out on and off with the Xianbei Qifu tribe.
The usual tactics of the nomadic race are to fight if they can, and to stay away from the enemy temporarily if they can't.
Therefore, within a short period of time, the two sides cannot tell the winner.
And until the connection between Liangzhou and Guanzhong could not be blocked, Wei Wei would not send troops to attack the Han Dynasty.
However, after learning that the Wei Dynasty was moving a large number of people into the audience, the prime minister also made some arrangements.
On the grounds that Sun Wu successively sent local servants from Jiaozhou and prisoners of war from Shanyue, and forcibly registered the Heshou Qiang tribe into households, the later general Yuan Wei led more than 10,000 people from his headquarters to garrison in Hanzhong County.
It not only maintains the peace of the people in counties and counties, but also strengthens the defense of Hanzhong so that there is no chance for the rebels to take advantage of it.
Thanks to the war horse trade, the food problem that had always troubled the Han Dynasty was somewhat alleviated.
Moreover, Jiangdong Liangmo entered Bajun from Yong'an, followed the river to Dianjiang City, and then followed the Diving (Nanjiang River) and Micang Ancient Road to enter Nanzheng County, Hanzhong. It was just in time for the rear general Yuan Wei, who was originally stationed in Jiangzhou, and his soldiers to
Escorted in batches and transferred in turn.
There was another level of consideration in ordering Zheng Pu to return to Shu.
Zheng Pu, who is twenty-five years old, is about to get engaged.
No matter whether he is protecting Shao as the Qiang envoy or not, he has to take leave and return. Why not kill two birds with one stone?
Perhaps, in order to inspire other Yizhou scholars to serve their lives, after the Heshou war, when the prime minister went to the court, he asked for merit for Zheng Pu and allowed him to return to his hometown with honor.
This is due to the great victory of Didao in the past and the promotion of the burning of Qiang to come to Fu.
The official position remains unchanged, and the title of Marquis of Guannei is changed to Marquis of Deyangting.
Due to the turmoil in the world for many years, there are many marquis who have no real estates.
For example, there were many marquises in Guan Nei who had no land to live in, and Cao Cao of Wei Wu, who used the emperor to command the princes, was the first to create the title of Haohou, Guanzhong Marquis and others who had no land to live in in order to reward military merits.
The Han Dynasty, which had a small land and few people, also did not have enough food and fiefdoms to grant rewards, so they often set up fiefdoms outside the territory under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty.
For example, Jiang Wei, who was named Dangyang Tinghou, had his fiefdom in Nanjun, Jingzhou, under the jurisdiction of Wu State.
However, Zheng Pu was actually sealed.
Deyang County is located in today's Zitong County. It was first divided into Zitong County and established as a county in the first year of Jianwu of Emperor Guangwu (AD 25). Later, it was moved to Longfengchang in the fourth year of Emperor An's Yuan Dynasty (AD 117), and the old administration was transferred to Longfengchang.
The land was abandoned and turned into a pavilion.
In other words, this alone makes countless people envious.
Inevitably, due to the jealousy of some people, the name "Scar Pu" became more and more popular.
Naturally, Zheng Pu didn't care about this.
In the past, Hou Dun of Wei Xia was privately called the "Blind Xia Hou" by the government and the public!
It would be a disgrace to the country, but it would have no impact on his official career.
Just a little angry.
He finally knew where the nickname "Scar Pu" came from.
It's the chariot and cavalry general Liu Yan talking to each other!
According to legend, after the Battle of Xiaoguandao in the past, Zheng Pu was praised by the senior generals in the army for his loyalty and steadfastness. The imperial court granted him a title and moved him to another position, which showed his kindness and honor. Liu Yan, who was in Hanzhong County at that time, heard about it and
He sighed and said, "There are no heroes at that time. As the late emperor said, Ma Di is not useful enough, so this son became famous!"
At this time, a confidant and a servant were standing by, and he wanted to flatter him, so he said to him: "This son has a scarred face and a scarred face. He has no appearance. How can he be called a hero?"
Liu Yan was overjoyed when he got the words.
He frequently used words to address the soldiers he led.
It also allowed the nickname "Scar Pu" to be spread by word of mouth among the army.
This old man is in a high position without merit, has no virtue and is arrogant, and doesn't know how to restrain himself!
I have been ruined by words many times before and refused to give up. I am too old to fight. Now you are provoking me again. If you don't retaliate, will everyone think that I am weak and easy to bully?
When returning on the road, Zheng Pu was filled with this thought.
After all, there is no need to worry about marriage.
Firstly, today's Han Dynasty is all about Qing Jian, so even if he marries the Zhang family, a relative of the Han Dynasty, it will not be too extravagant.
Another story is that his mother and uncle went to live in a small house in Chengdu in the middle of last year and took care of this matter carefully.
For example, the basic process of the pre-wedding ceremony of "acceptance, asking for name, acceptance, acceptance, and request for date" has been completed.
Moreover, his elder brother Zheng Yan also completed his duties as a filial piety to his master last year. Emperor Liu Chan recognized Zheng Pu's military merits and commended his virtues of respecting his master and filial piety, and was awarded the title of Chengdu Order.
In addition to his duties, he can also help out as the head of the Zheng family.
To put it bluntly, when Zheng Pu returned this time, he was just a groom like a puppet on strings.
With nothing to do, he naturally thought about how to "repay his grievances directly" to make his heart clear and relaxed.
The whole journey was silent.
After returning to Chengdu, Zheng Pu waited for the Shaodang Qiang envoys to be led to the Dahonglu Office by shooting reinforcements, and then went outside the palace to wait for his orders.
Emperor Liu Chan got his reward and came out of the palace to welcome him.
As soon as he arrived, without waiting for Zheng Pu to pay homage, he stepped forward with joy in his face, held his hands and said, "This is the return of my loyal and upright minister of the great Han Dynasty!"
The emperor, whom he had not seen for several years, was no longer as big as he remembered.
Instead, his skin tone is slightly darker, and he is strong and tall.
The reason is that after the first incognito that year, the prime minister felt that leaving the palace would be beneficial to the emperor's knowledge and governance, so he no longer restricted the number of his trips.
Therefore, after the prime minister led his army in the Northern Expedition, the emperor often went out of the palace to patrol.
For example, he patrolled the Dujiangyan water conservancy project, cultivated his own fields, and rewarded the soldiers for their hard work; he went along various counties and counties to inquire about the sufferings of the people, and gave grain to those who were widowed, widowed, and poor and unable to survive on their own; he also worked diligently on sword dancing and archery, etc.
Today, the people of Bashu and the princes in the DPRK all say that the emperor has the benevolence of the late emperor!
"I have captured General Pu and paid homage to Your Majesty."
After hurriedly retreating for a few steps and paying homage on foot, Zheng Pufang said modestly, "I dare not accept your Majesty's praise. I am a loyal and good man like a crucian carp crossing a river. I have only served for a few years and have achieved a certain amount of merit. I dare not accept it."
"Hahaha~~~"
Emperor Liu Chan laughed and said, "Zheng Qing has spoken modestly!"
After laughing, he turned his face into a generous expression and said loudly, "Zheng Qing followed the Northern Expedition against the Wei Dynasty. In the battle of Longyou, he defended Xiaoguandao. He swore to his death that not a single soldier against the Wei Dynasty would be able to get past him. Why shouldn't he take this responsibility?"
Without waiting for Zheng Pu to speak modestly again, he held his hand and walked to the palace.
Although Zheng Pu asked for an audience this time, he was still asked by the Prime Minister to report to the emperor the details of the troops and horses of Longyou and the placement of the common people. It was an official matter. However, the emperor did not lead him to the side hall, but held a small banquet for him.
.
Anyway, what Zheng Pu wanted to report had already been roughly understood through the memorial, and this time it was just some details.
It is not necessary for Quan to be the hero of the small banquet.
The place where the banquet is held is, not surprisingly, still a small pavilion by the pool.
There are many differences from those in the banquet.
For example, the one holding the sword and leading the armor was guarding the surroundings, the central leader Xiang Chong, and the second-in-command Guo Youzhi and Dong Yun were flanked by the visitor Chen Zhi.
At his own expense, Yi resigned from the post of minister and joined the army in the Prime Minister's Office. Following the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition, the emperor frequently left the palace and began to personally handle some government affairs. He often felt that there were too few servants around him.
Then he went to write to the Prime Minister, intending to add one or two more people to whom he could consult.
The Prime Minister was greatly relieved by this.
He then asked Li Yan, the hussar general who stayed in Chengdu, and Zhang Yi, the prime minister's chief minister, and Jiang Wan to select the virtuous and capable people in the court.
Chen Zhi, a well-known, dignified and dignified person, was elected by everyone because of his hard work in office over the years and the reputation he gained from a famous family.
Because Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Huo Yi and Pang Hong resigned from their posts as close servants, the emperor lost many happy people.
Chen Zhi, who was multi-talented and skilled in mathematics, could not only give Dong Yun's righteous advice, but also entertain the emperor in his free time, allowing the emperor to relieve the pain of filing documents and the boredom of palace confinement. Therefore, even though the person who served as a visitor was less than one year old,
, but already quite popular with the emperor.
And his temperament is now much more restrained than before.
Although I had a grudge against Zheng Pu before and had no contact with him for several years, he greeted me with a smile when I met him now, which was like a spring breeze.
I don’t know if it’s because I want to put an end to the past, or if I’m hiding a knife behind my smile.
Zheng Pu saw this and nodded in response.
There was a constant smile on his face, but he felt a little confused in his heart.
However, he didn't have much thought to pay attention to this.
After the emperor sat down, he began to describe the events in Longyou in detail, and carefully answered the emperor's questions about the war process, etc.
When it was told that the Wei Dynasty was defeated, everyone at the banquet raised their palms and praised him.
When he recounted the fight to the death with the soldiers, everyone sighed with admiration on their faces.
Until the end of the day, the emperor still had more to say.
When he was leaving, he looked at the scars on Zheng Pu's face and sighed: "The Prime Minister and all the soldiers are sincere and sincere, so I am deeply moved. I wish I could join forces in the battle. There is still Zheng Qing who sacrifices his life to serve the country and even damages his appearance.
I feel guilty."
After sighing, he ordered the imperial guards to send Zheng Pu back to his home to show his honor and favor.
But Fu Qian stayed.
He has been crowned in the Soviet Union and is fifteen years old. According to common sense, he can no longer stay overnight in the palace.
However, Emperor Liu Chan always regarded him as his nephew, and he had not seen him for a long time, so he planned to stay in the imperial guard for a few days to take exams of his studies and ask about interesting things about Longyou.
However, what the emperor did not expect was that after Zheng Pu and other ministers had retired, Fu Qian prostrated and fell to the ground. His face was sad and he said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report. Please step aside. I know.
This move is not familiar with the laws of the imperial court, but if Your Majesty approves it, I am willing to bear the responsibility of being quartered by five horses!"
As soon as he said this, Emperor Liu Chan was shocked.
He never imagined that Fu Qian would ask such a question.
After all, after Fu Qian was a loyal martyr, he had been imprisoned in the palace for a long time and had not yet been appointed.
According to common sense, the courtiers and the generals in Longyou's army would not treat him harshly, so why should he feel aggrieved?
Also, please scroll back to the left and right before playing?
After thinking for a while, Emperor Liu Chan did not let Fu Qian stand up, but asked in a deep voice, "Gongyuan, please tell me first, what is the matter?"
Fu Qian bowed his head on the snow and said, "Your Majesty, Qian is a teacher with unfair ears!"
Aggrieved for Zheng Qing?
Could it be that Zheng Qing was jealous of others now that he had obtained a fief?
Or was it because Zheng Qing was a scholar from Yizhou and was bullied by others?
However, with the prime minister in Longyou, who dares to be so presumptuous!
Putting his hand on his already lush beard, Emperor Liu Chan looked at Fu Qian silently for a while, then waved his hand to the surrounding soldiers and palace attendants.
"only!"
Everyone bowed to accept the order and walked to a distance to wait.
"Get up."
Emperor Liu Chan said calmly, "What is said here should not be spread beyond the four ears. It will be spoken in Gongyuan."
"only!"
After hearing this, Fu Qian did not stand up, but bowed his head and bowed, with a sad voice and facial expression, "Your Majesty, Master Qian has been attacking the captive general. Since he took office, he has made plans and followed the army to conquer the north and south. He has made great contributions." Xiao Guandao
In the battle, Master Qian commanded his soldiers with great determination and wanted to die to serve the country. He was a loyal and martyr of our great Han Dynasty! However, because of his disfigurement due to the battle, some evil thieves ridiculed him and added the name of Master Qian with "scar" to ridicule him.
In the armies of Longyou and Hanzhong! The real intentions of the Qian Committee are difficult to quell!"
