"In those days, I traveled thousands of miles to search for a feudal lord, and I defended Liangzhou on horseback." [Revelation of Heartfelt Feelings]
Bingzhou, Shuofang.
The autumn wind is chilling and the withered grass is crouching. In this withered yellow field, the river is actually a little stagnant under the cold wind. Among the withered grass, there is an ancient city wall like a crouching dragon and a python lying in the field. Facing the cold wind,
It was as if they were still adhering to their centuries-old mission. In the dilapidated corner of the beacon fort, a fire was burning. Three or two people were sitting, either leaning against the wall, sitting in the corner, or guarding with swords.
Next to the earthen gate, the wind blew in through the cracks and made a strange whine. The people nearby regarded this sound as the sound of the undead from the ancient battlefield a hundred years ago. After dark, no one dared to approach it.
The same goes for the Xianbei tribe in the distance.
A tall man with an elegant figure sat on the ground. He was all covered in armor. He put his robe aside. It looked like a vivid animal head when illuminated by the fire: "Gong Jin, outside the Great Wall is not controlled by the imperial court, and barbarians live together."
, do these people around you really want to go outside the Great Wall?"
Sitting in the corner was a suave scribe with a rather heroic brow. It was Zhou Yu, the minister of the Ministry of War who was ordered to inspect and guard the You border. His face was shining with firelight, as if shining on the sun. He smiled at him and said: "It's not a miasma."
Why can't I leave the land? I am an angel of the Han family and a minister of the imperial court. No matter how the Hu people outside the Great Wall are not transformed into kings, they will definitely not have the courage to bully me. What's more, the purpose of inspecting the military equipment this time is Xianbei. If we shrink
If you don't know the enemy's situation within the Great Wall, then leading troops will be like Zhao Kuo."
"Lead troops?" Sun Ce's eyes lit up. He is now the general of Du Liao. According to the new rank, Zhou Yu is lower than him. If he leads troops to attack Xianbei, there is a great chance that he can join forces with him: "You really can
Let His Majesty send you to lead the army?"
"I guess the Holy Heart should be like this." Zhou Yu said softly. He vaguely noticed from the emperor's actions that sending him on this patrol may be to make him familiar with the northern army and prepare him for being used in important roles in the future. Even if
Will not go with Sun Ce: "According to the register of the Ministry of War, there are more than 40,000 troops stationed in Youzhou, led by General Zhengbei, General Pingdi, etc. Zhonglang General Cheng Gong and Han Gong are also under his command."
Sun Ce thought of Cheng Pu and Han Dang who were sent north by Xu Huang. These were his father's old troops. They had not been able to see each other for many years. It would be a relief if they could meet each other when the Communists were expelling Xianbei outside the Great Wall.
"The Bingzhou side is divided into two groups. One is led by Huwei General Gaishun, with 10,000 troops stationed in Yanmen County, and the other is Bofu's 10,000 troops stationed in Xihe County." Zhou Yu already had this in mind.
Although he didn’t know how the emperor, Jia Xu, Xun You and others would make plans and deployments at that time, the way of military strategists was nothing short of extraordinary. Zhou Yu could more or less guess: “The Western Region has been decided, and the imperial court now wants to conquer Wuhuan and Goguryeo first.
, solved the troubles in Liaodong, and then conquered Suli, Mika and other eastern Xianbei adults. Finally, with Suli and Bu Dugen as supplements, the imperial court sent 100,000 troops to sweep across Mobei, drink horses in Beihai, and imitate the Western Regions to set up a guard in Mobei.
Mansion, achieve immortality."
Sun Ce couldn't help but breathe quickly when he thought of such a grand scene and achievements. He said solemnly: "Since the death of Tan Shihuai more than 20 years ago, internal fighting has continued in Xianbei. Among the three Xianbei tribes, the western Xianbei rebelled.
Without the Luhui tribe, the Bai tribe is a bunch of ragtag people. If you give me an elite army, I can march straight in like the champion."
"Putou Kong is known as the Western Xianbei Lord, but there is no real reason. Fortunately, he knows the current affairs and has paid tribute over the years, and his subordinates are considered respectful. If the court wants to eliminate this scabies problem, now is not the time."
Zhou Yu said softly, these days he has a general understanding. After the death of Tan Shihuai who unified Xianbei, Xianbei split sharply. The masses of Xianbei in the west were dispersed.
Edong was also divided into Yunzhong, Yanmen area, headed by Bu Dugen, with tens of thousands of followers; Daijun, Shanggu area, headed by Ke Bineng, strong.
"Bu Dugen can be considered honest. When the imperial court issued an order to return the land to the people, he was the first to obey the order. Not only did he return the Yunzhong and Yanmen counties he occupied, he also exchanged the Han people who had been held hostage." Sun Ce
He chuckled softly and fiddled with the bonfire with a wooden stick: "This time the imperial court was in charge of the Western Regions, Bu Dugen even sent his middle brother Fu Luohan to lead the troops to help Xiahou Yuan conquer Wusun, who was not convinced. If it weren't for him,
Gongshun, how can we allow him to get involved in a place like the Western Region that is richer than outside the Great Wall?"
Fulohan led his troops into the Western Regions firstly to shock the countries in the Western Regions and let them see that the imperial court could even drive the once powerful Xianbei, and to further cut off their disloyalty; and secondly to weaken Budugen's strength. Of course, Budugen
A lot of benefits were obtained from it, such as Fulohan plundered a lot of wealth and population during the conquest.
Zhou Yu nodded and suddenly asked a young man standing at the door holding a sword: "Zixiu, what do you want to say?"
That young man was none other than Cao Ang, the Cavalry Commander. He had been in Shuofang for a few years and now his face was full of weather. The flamboyant young master he had been at the time had become much calmer and more mature. Just now, whether he was talking about the situation in the grassland or about his relative Xia Houyuan,
Cao Ang was indifferent and guarded the door dutifully like a guard.
After hearing Zhou Yu's inquiry, Cao Ang simply said a few words: "Although Xianbei is now separated, it is not inferior to the Xiongnu in the past. What is missing is just a common master. From what I have seen and heard in the following years, Brother Bu Dugen
The prohibition was relaxed and the people obeyed sincerely; Suli and others were forced by Karasuma's power and asked for help from the court, so they surrendered and obeyed. However, they were also brave and foolhardy people. Only Ke was able to judge the law evenly and control the group.
Di, who is quite famous in Xianbei and full of ambition, will definitely become a nuisance to the imperial court in the future."
"The son of Duke Cao is indeed extraordinary." Zhou Yu asked a few more questions. Seeing that Cao Ang's answers were well-organized and his vision was broad, he couldn't help but praise him and said, "When I came here, Duke Cao asked me to take a good test of you. I wanted to know how you are progressing. I think
But there is no need. If we use troops in the future, if Cao Gong avoids relatives due to internal promotion, I can recommend you as the vanguard."
"Cao Zixiu is a famous general in Shuofang. All the Xianbei tribes in the west are in awe of him." Sun Ce also praised him in agreement: "It means that Chen Shuzhi refused to release him, otherwise he would have been a general under my command."
Zhou Yu knew that Sun Ce's words were mostly an excuse. How could General Du Liao and the Lieutenant of Shuofang County rob people and not grab them?
At this time, a young guard came over on horseback, it was Sun He's nephew Sun Shao: "General Qi, there is a group of Xianbei cavalry coming across the city, Captain Hao has already led the troops there!"
"Zixiu, go and respond quickly and find out what's going on!" Sun Ce became alert and said with his sword.
Cao Ang agreed and immediately took the people away.
Zhou Yu was not panicked and continued to sit. He looked at Sun Shao carefully and said, "Is this Sun He's nephew?"
Sun He died of an illness when he was fighting against the barbarians in Nanzhong. He made great contributions to the Sun family, and his descendants were taken care of by Sun Ce. For example, his descendants Sun Huan and others are now studying in Chang'an with Sun Shao, Zhou Xun and other younger generations. Sun Shao's original surname is Yu.
Because Sun Ce liked him very much, he asked him to change his surname back to Sun along with Sun He very early on. At this time, Sun Shao was only seventeen years old, and it was the time when he was in full bloom.
The more Zhou Yu looked at it, the more satisfied he became. He felt that the Sun family was full of talented people and had successors. However, he still reminded: "Since he is a member of the Yu family, one day, it is better to let him change his surname back to his original name."
"Why is this?" Sun Ce asked, and soon got the answer. He was a little unhappy: "Look at the Cao family, Xiahou family, the younger generation is still handsome and handsome, but it will not work in my Sun family?"
Zhou Yu sneered and said: "Do you think this is a good thing? Cao Cao is powerful now, but His Majesty needs him, do you really think that no one can control him? Sikong Zhaogong, just scolded him, and he was shocked and confused. What will happen next?
, who can say for sure?”
Sun Ce believed that Zhou Yu would never harm him, so he naturally followed his advice: "Since you said so, I will let him return his surname later."
Saying this, Cao Ang, who had left, quickly sent someone back to revive him. It turned out to be Tuoba Jiefen, the leader of Xianbeisuo Head, who heard that the angel was patrolling here and wanted to come and see him. To provide you with the fastest update of the Xinghan Dynasty, Chapter 18
