On December 29, the third year of Zhangwu, after finishing his day's work, Guangluxun Li Yan came out with majestic steps and passed by the newly built flying bridge south of the palace city.
Li Yan's Guangluxun was a false position. The civil and military officials around the emperor had a team, including the military affairs of the Yulin and Huben departments. In fact, Li Yan did not need to intervene. The rear army he was really responsible for was Ding Feng and Lei Cheng, two experienced deputys. Since he came to Chang'an, there was no military affairs that he had to decide.
But Li Yan still worked hard every day, and handled every little thing carefully. Even if it was almost the New Year, he had specially mastered the time for the rest of the yamen to get off work, which would be slightly later than ordinary officials, and not too late to make it abrupt.
Li Yan is from Nanyang and is always not used to the winter in Guanzhong. At this time, standing at a high place and looking at it, there are gray-brown roofs everywhere in Chang'an City in winter. Occasionally, fine snow falling from the sky, falling on the roof, and turning gray-brown; or gray-white, there is still nothing to see.
On the contrary, under the roof, between the horizontal and vertical streets, as the sunset fell, starry lights lit up, and the chatter and silence of the residents in Chang'an City slowly drifted away with the wind, as if bringing some breath of life, making him feel more comfortable.
What’s important is that the residents of Chang'an City have seen many high-ranking officials and nobles and are very wise. Every time Li Yan’s car drove through the road, the crowd along the way would retreat in time, and this feeling made him more comfortable. It seemed that the fatigue of every day would slowly be dissolved in the respect of the people.
Sometimes he would also make fun of himself. He would be too small for busy for half his life and only seeking these things. In addition to his current fame and fortune, a real man should also make achievements and keep his reputation in future generations.
However, people are lazy and have experienced many years of fierce pursuit. Li Yan asked himself, from the inconspicuous county magistrate under Liu Zhang, he became one of the nine ministers and the rear general who held real power in ten years. That was already very good, and it was nowhere near the core of the imperial court.
You might as well be comfortable for two years. After all, the court's major policy has been decided, and it will not lead to any consequences if you make a fool of yourself.
In the early years, he accompanied Peng Yi, Kou Feng and others to struggle, but who would have made the profit in the end? If I, Li Zhengfang, had not been smart and quick-witted and had made great military achievements, the loss would not be able to be made back in ten or twenty years!
Well, it’s best to be so safe and secure now. There will be a chance to cross this short distance.
Seeing the setting sun set, the light gradually faded, and his tiredness also rose. He smiled faintly, accelerated his pace slightly, walked down the wooden stairs, and walked towards the main entrance of the palace.
When he arrived in front of the palace gate, he saw Jiang Wei, the Yulin Supervisor, and a group of soldiers were training in ejaculation.
Jiang Wei was just over twenty years old and had made many contributions in Jingzhou, Hexi and other places, and was usually loved by the emperor. Previously, because of his hardships in the Western Regions, the emperor specially gave him a half-year rest to get married. This time, the emperor went to Chang'an and specially asked Jiang Wei to follow him, and he also needed to bring his newlywed wife with him.
But Xiu Mu is Xiu Mu. You, the Yulin Prison who is not on duty, ran to the palace city and brought a group of young soldiers to shoot arrows at the palace gate. That was too deliberate. You were already six hundred stones at a young age, which was not enough?
Li Yanxin walked over and from a distance, he smiled and said, "Boyue, why is he so busy?"
As he walked, he walked slightly closer.
No matter how little Guangluxun is, he is the official guard in charge of the official palace, and his attendants, and the officers who convey to the officials. The soldiers saluted him one after another and went to see Jiang Wei.
In the past two days, Jiang Wei has been very tightly engaged in training for the Yulin soldiers. Yesterday, he specially reviewed the team of the military camps, and today he caught hundreds of people on duty to shoot. These soldiers were all warriors drawn from the army, and the training was not vague. However, many of them did not practice shooting with Jiang Wei for a while. As they practiced, they couldn't help asking the Guan family's tiger girl. They were immediately scolded by Jiang Wei, and then laughed and didn't get angry.
After hearing Li Yan's question, Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I heard that when His Majesty's proofreading was reviewed a few days ago, these idiots lost to a tiger led by Liu Yin! I have to practice them well... I will definitely earn back my face when I go back to proofreading next time!"
"So that's it, good! OK!" Li Yan laughed twice.
Liu Yin was a powerful officer of the Yizhou Army. Previously, Gan Ning, Zhang Ren, Ling Bao and other Yizhou generals died of illness one after another, and the emperor specially promoted the rookie in the Yizhou Army. Liu Yin was one of them. He had a reputation as both civil and military, and he was not only given Jian Ba ​​to the Hu Ben, but may also be particularly valued in the future.
Jiang Wei was actually angry because he failed to compete with Liu Yin's troops in the art of shooting. It can be seen that he is a young man after all, and he has no scheming.
Li Yanzheng wanted to talk to Jiang Wei for a few more words, but suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves outside the palace gate and suddenly came straight to the palace gate.
"What's going on!" Li Yan's expression suddenly changed.
Everyone, including Jiang Wei, stopped and looked out the palace gate together.
There are rules in the palace ban. Unless there are great important matters, they must not run around. However, the knights rushed into the palace ban until they almost arrived in front of the palace and then tied up their mounts and rolled over and dismounted.
A servant had already greeted him, asked a few simple questions, and immediately led them into the room.
Li Yan was very close to the palace gate and could see it clearly. The whistle riders were covered in sweat and dust, and their expressions were nervous. He thought to himself that something must have happened, so he immediately turned back to the palace forbidden.
After walking dozens of steps, the footsteps behind him sounded. It turned out that Jiang Wei was eager to try and followed.
After walking dozens of steps, another servant ran out in the palace prison. Someone led the horse and urged the servant to get on the horse immediately.
Li Yan rushed over and asked, "What happened?"
The attendant stepped on the stirrups and answered while getting on the horse: "There are tens of thousands of Cao's army, breaking through the Longmen Ferry, and rushing to Chang'an! Your Majesty urgently summoned the Prime Minister to the palace and was fully responsible for the fight against the enemy!"
Li Yan was stunned for a moment and said "hey" hard.
The Cao army that raided Chang'an was arranged in this previous arrangement, with Cao Zhang personally led by Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and other generals as auxiliary, and Sima Yi joined the army. The generals had more than 36,000 troops, all of which were cavalry. Along the way, the Xianbei Yi Guigui's troops were conscripted, and the Xiongnu Liu Bao's troops had a total of 10,000 cavalry.
In the previous month, Zhao Yan personally organized the people in Longkou to smash the ice as usual in previous years. However, after the ice was smashed every day, he secretly laid bamboo mats and wooden boards on the remaining ice cubes in the evening to freeze the water flow. When the main force of Cao's army entered Hedong, Zhao Yan stopped smashing the ice for two consecutive days. The river at Longmen immediately became as frozen as iron and stone, which was available for the army to gallop.
Forty-six thousand people stared at the cold wind, frost and snow, and quickly broke into the east of the river. They were about to attack the Xiayang Army Fort, but found that because the Han army was busy dealing with the prosperous times when the little kings of the Western Regions visited, the troops in many fortresses were transferred to Wugong, Mei County, Yong County and other places to pretend, and even the most important beacon towers were not left with enough people to take care of.
At first, the generals of the Cao army couldn't believe it, and repeatedly asked, and confirmed that this was indeed the case. They were all very happy at the moment, and they all said: Liu Bei is so confused! God is really helping me!
They did not delay and headed south at full speed. In just two days, they passed by Heyang, Linjin, and Xiaji. In order to ensure the rapid action, they did not attack the city along the way, but only dispatched partial troops to quickly seize some easily attacked dock walls and seize necessary supplies.
