Chapter 793 Anyone who offends my strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is.
In mid-June, Suiye City was the second time Hu Guang had arrived at this place, and it was also the place where he first came into Zhang Gao's sight.
I think back then, his brother Huwei wanted to take advantage of the cavalry to respect himself, because the saints back then didn't have many cavalry, and the only light cavalry available were the few hundred cavalry from the Hu family.
Later, Huwei was disgraced by the saint, and Huguang, a fifteen-year-old boy, began to be promoted from then on.
But now that I think about it, my father Hu Zaile at that time may not have had the same thoughts as his brother. Even if his brother dared to act so boldly, he may not have been influenced by his father.
Thinking of this, Hu Guang became determined. After Li Jing Na Tu was dedicated, his brother Hu Wei and the remaining dozens of knights of the Hu family could only follow Li Jing Na Tu.
Due to the special circumstances of the Hu family, they would certainly not be pardoned, but in order to take care of Hu Guang's emotions, Zhang Gao still sent Wan Li to ask Hu Guang what he meant.
If Hu Guang agrees, Zhang Yan will send Hu Wei, dozens of cavalry and family members to Anxi.
If Hu Guang doesn't want to open up one side, then there is a high probability that they will be used on the battlefield to attack Jing Haijun after the Southern Han Dynasty is defeated.
There is a big difference here. The Hu family is originally from Dadan in Anxi. For others, being exiled to Anxi is just a little lighter than beheading. But when the Hu family is sent to Anxi, it is just a return home.
'The heat and humidity in the south of the Yangtze River is similar to that of Yue. People from the north go south to Jinghai Navy and are prone to diseases, but people in the south of the Yangtze River are more adaptable. Although Huwei and others are rebellious, they are still brave and capable cavalry. When used in Jinghai Navy, they are a hundred times better than Anxi.'
Since his mother committed suicide, Hu Guang no longer thinks that Hu Wei is his brother.
"General Manager, urgent report from Beiting!" Hu Guang's personal guard general Yuhou Li Jixi ran in with a secret letter sent from Beiting Province.
This man's elder brother, Li Jixun, was the infantry commander Hu Guang relied on most during the Western Expedition, and his ability in arranging troops was not inferior to that of Yao Yuanfu.
Although Li Jihe was not good at arranging troops, he was unparalleled in his bravery in battle.
During the local shooting ceremony in the second year of Shaoming Dynasty, he competed with the fierce general Murong Xinchun in front of the imperial army. He won with spears, axes and hammers, but he was only inferior in shooting on foot, and was slightly inferior in mounted shooting. The emperor personally gave him armor and ordered him to guard the tiger during the expedition to Guangxi.
"Eleven messengers set off, and only two of them ran to Suiye, but they are almost exhausted. The doctor is trying to save them. It is estimated that such a good Pegasus cannot be saved."
Li Jixi is a brave person, but he is a bit garrulous.
Hu Guang loved his bravery and didn't take it seriously. But after hearing what Li Jixie said, Hu Guang knew that something big must have happened. When he opened it and took a look, he immediately became overjoyed.
"Hurry and find Yaogong, the Guo brothers, Pei Shengyuan and your brother are here!"
After a while, several senior generals from Hu Guang's army arrived. Hu Guang showed the secret message in his hand and said excitedly.
"Eight hundred miles of urgent news, Bai Qiuci has led his troops across the Duotan Ridge. His vanguard defeated the Ogus-Geluolu coalition forces in the old place of the Yinshan Governor's Mansion, and captured hundreds of soldiers from Ogus Dayehu's command.
The road through the vast moraine of Yibohai has been figured out.
Around the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, we will definitely reach the west of Talas and ask me to jointly attack Guo Guangyi and other rebels."
"Great! Duke Bai came from Yanran Mountain, and his men are all fine cavalry. With them, the traitor Guo Guangyi will not be able to escape."
Yao Yuanfu was overjoyed. He had now experienced the joy of beating up a weakling. The tooth soldiers under his command also seemed to enjoy this unfettered and unrestrained feeling.
"If that's the case, then we have to set off now, otherwise it will be a waste of Bai Gong and his friends' hard work in crossing the wilderness." Li Jixun also nodded immediately and said.
Hu Guang glanced at him thoughtfully, "What Li Yuhou means is that we should secure Guo Guangyi in Talas now to prevent him from escaping further?"
Li Jixun nodded and raised his hand, "General Manager, Guo Guangyi has 40,000 troops under his command. After two months of siege, the anti-personnel company only has 300-500 troops. This shows that the military strength is not strong.
At this moment, he fled in a hurry. When he returned to Talos, he didn't know if there were still 20,000 people. The morale of the army was unstable, and it was indeed possible to continue to escape.
If we only kill tens of thousands of remnant soldiers, how can we show that our Western Expeditionary Army is incomparably brave? Why don't I pursue the west immediately?
When Guo Guangyi saw that I only had 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers, few cavalry, and no cavalry guards, he would definitely dream of the old Anxi army's defeat of the Talos. Not only would he not leave, he would also think about a comeback.
Moreover, behind Guo Guangyi's rebels are Saktu Khan and Ogusi Yehu. We march westward with a small number of troops to show our arrogance and weakness. They don't know that Duke Bai has crossed the Great Wilderness Moraine and will inevitably lead troops.
Wait around me.
At that time, we will be outside Talas City to wash away the humiliation of the defeat of the great commanders of the great dynasty, so that all the kings will know the heroic heroic spirit of our Han and Tang Dynasty athletes, and they will fight each other when they see me in the future."
"Okay!" Hu Guang slapped the table with his palm, "Nowadays, the barbarians west of Anxi have long forgotten the glory of the past dynasty. It's time to teach them a lesson!
My intention is to draw 6,000 armored soldiers, 4,000 auxiliary soldiers, and 5,000 righteous soldiers. Immediately march westward and reach the outside of Talas City before July 25th to wipe out the rebels!"
....
Lu Duoxun gently opened the door curtain of the White Tiger Festival Hall, raised his hands and saluted Hu Guang, who was counting food and grass.
Hu Guang quickly waved to Lu Duoxun, "Lu Dalang is here, why don't you give me a gift? Come and help a certain family handle these official documents."
Lu Duoxun's father, Lu Yi, served as Hu Guang's secretary-general when he took office as the military governor of Xuzhou Zhongwu Army. He was frugal and devoted to the public affairs and won Hu Guang's trust. This was why he took Lu Duoxun to the Western Regions.
s reason.
You must know that in the current Zhang Zhou, the emperor's favorite scribe is one who can draw a bow to shoot enemies when mounted, and can draw a sword to kill people when dismounted.
If you still have the experience of doing meritorious service on the frontier, it would be perfect. You can reach the fourth or even second or third grade in a few years.
Even though Lu Duosun is still a few months away from turning sixteen, this kid is full of schemes and tricks and has eight hundred tricks in his body.
He naturally knew that Hu Guang brought him to Anxi to cultivate him, and he followed Hu Guang all the way. Although he had trained this slightly frail young man to be more open-minded and have a heroic spirit, he suffered a lot.
That's more than the total of his first fifteen years of life.
He also knew that Hu Guang only looked at him differently because of his admiration for his father Lu Yi. Of course, he was also highly praised by Hu Guang for handling official documents and dealing with people, but he was still far from becoming a confidant.
.
So the boy rolled his eyes and the bad water came out. He didn't listen to Hu Guang and still raised his hand.
"Hu Gong, Broken Leaf is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Its shape is as good as that of Anxi. There are thousands of hectares of fertile fields in the valley. It is rich in products and can support 300,000 people. It is simply a smaller Ningyuan.
In the past, during the great dynasty, if there were broken leaves, we could use them as a base. When we went out to the west, we would be shocked by all the barbarians. Without the broken leaves, the four towns would always be in danger of being captured.
Fifteen years ago, when the saint was in Anxi, he stationed troops and immigrated to Ningyuan, and ordered the Guo family to guard Suiye. He wanted to use the appearance and products of Ningyuan and Suiye as a backup for today. How far-sighted it is.
Now the sage wants to conquer the barbarians and conquer the barbarians, so he has decided to relocate to Hezhong, Persia and other places. Ningyuan has enough grain and grass for a hundred thousand troops to conquer Kang, An, Mi, Dongcao and other places.
Only the broken leaves are broken, and now they are used to supply the needs of the 15,000-strong army. They have to be transported to Shule. After crossing the Tianshan Mountains and the Zhenzhu River, only one or two out of ten are saved, and the consumption is huge.
That’s why I think Tiger Lord should give priority to conquest and resume the production of broken leaves.”
Hu Guang touched his chin. He had actually considered this issue. The Lu family boy could consider this at the age of fifteen. He was very knowledgeable. It was not in vain that he brought him to Anxi for training.
However, Hu Guang looked at Lu Duoxun with a half-smile, "Isn't it true that Dalang wants to persuade a certain family to stay behind in Suiye and not go to Talos?"
Lu Duoxun swallowed secretly and complained in his heart that he really wanted Hu Guang to stay in Suiye, because this was the best choice for Hu Guang.
But obviously Hu Guang won't do it, because this is to wash away the shame of Russia!
Moreover, Guo Guangyi married the beauty Guo Ting'er, who was originally intended to be donated by the Guo family to the saint, to the grandson of Li Guoshou, the unlucky guy who broke his neck two years ago.
If this kind of thing happened to a common man, it would be a hatred that would splatter three feet of blood. If it reaches the level of Zhang Yan, it is not just an insult to the emperor, but also an insult to Zhou Dynasty.
This is not a slap in the face of Zhang Zhi, but a slap in the butt of tens of millions of people in Zhou Dynasty!
Therefore, the expedition to Talas this time also has a great meaning: "Anyone who offends our strong men will be killed no matter how far away!" This kind of thing, as the commander of the army, how could Hu Guang not go?
If Lu Duoxun dared to persuade him here, it would mean that he had knowledge but not a clear mind. Hu Guang would definitely drive him back to the Central Plains.
So Lu Duoxun raised his hand and said, "This time to capture the bandit leader, Duke Hu will of course lead the troops in person, but I would like to stay behind in Broken Leaf to assist Duke Guo Guangcheng.
If Duke Hu can give me full power, I would be willing to go to Shule to lobby Prince Li Gongde to send all the families of these 30,000 people to Suiye for cultivation."
Hu Guang pondered for a moment. Guo Guangyi moved away one hundred thousand people from Broken Ye's population, and killed more than twenty thousand people by Yao Yuanfu. Now there are only more than twenty thousand people left.
Indeed, as Lu Duoxun said, not to mention supporting the westward march of the army, even the food for these tens of thousands of people had to be transported through Shule with great hardships.
If Broken Leaf is to be restored to its previous level so that it can bear the heavy responsibility of the army's westward march, at least 200,000 people will be needed to colonize it.
However, out of the 100,000 people who were moved to Talas by Guo Guangyi, at most 30,000 to 50,000 could be moved back, leaving a gap of hundreds of thousands.
But now there are more than 30,000 Yicong and civilian husbands from Shule. If all their family members are moved here, the population will recover immediately.
Moreover, after more than ten years of great development in the Khotan Kingdom, even if 200,000 people were moved to Ningyuan, there would still be about 700,000 people, and the entire country would not be able to finish all the food in five years.
With so much wealth, it would be no problem to move eighty to one hundred thousand people to Suiye.
In addition, in addition to the people of the Jin Kingdom, Beiting can also bear part of the relocated population.
Moreover, Lu Duoxun was also qualified for this job, because he assisted the marching Sima Guo Guangsheng in completing the entire march from Shule to Suiye.
However, there is still a problem. Hu Guang looked at Lu Duoxun and asked seriously: "Even the King of Jin would not make a decision easily on a matter like relocating 100,000 people. How dare you make a hasty decision?"
What does it mean to dare to make a hasty decision? You must understand that Cheng Huguang is afraid of taking responsibility, which is wrong.
Back then, that Torajiro dared to do justice and even ignored his father and had to return thousands of miles away. Would he be a person who was afraid of responsibility? How is it possible!
The emperor sent him to the Western Expedition because he admired Hu Guang's courage in taking on tasks.
What he said was actually asking him, what benefits does Hu Guang have, and is it worth taking such a big risk to complete this matter?
You must know that there were no trains or buses at this time, the roads were difficult to travel, and supplies were difficult. A project as large as the relocation of 100,000 people would take several years to complete.
It is normal for thousands of people to die during the migration. If you do a good job, you will indeed have merit. But if there is a slight mistake, not only the court will be held accountable, but the reputation among the people and history books will be very bad.
Finally reaching this point, Lu Duoxun had been prepared for a long time. He raised his hand and said, "I heard that the name of Duke Hu's eldest daughter is Jie Niang. She was raised by Concubine Li Shu in the palace since she was a child?"
Hu Guang nodded. After his wife died of illness a few years ago, Hu Guang was so sad that he never married again. Zhang Gao once wanted to be a matchmaker to marry Hu Guang, the sister of Jing Wang Gao's family, but Hu Guang refused.
After his wife died, she left him a daughter named Hujie.
Since Hu Guang was fighting everywhere and there was no one to take care of her, Zhang Gao specially brought Hu Jie to the palace and raised her in the care of his aunt who could not give birth to a daughter but only a son.
"I also heard that Guo Zhaoyi's adopted son, Xianxi, the fifth son of the emperor, was Jie Niang's playmate since childhood." Lu Duoxun continued to ask.
Hu Guang's eyes narrowed and he realized that Guo Zhaoyi was the infertile Guo Waner. Since Guo Tinger could not replace her, Zhang Xian gave the fifth son of the emperor, Zhang Xianxi, born to Princess Sefiye of Saman Persia, to Guo Waner to be raised as Guo Waner's adopted son.
This boy is six years old this year, the same age as Hu Guang's daughter Hu Jie. The two grew up together and have a very close relationship.
Lu Duoxun took a step forward and whispered: "The reason why the saint agreed to the Guo family's donation of Guo Ting'er is because Guo Zhaoyi has nothing to do, and Broken Leaf is surrounded by mountains on three sides to form a country of its own. It must be someone with the blood of the Guo family.
The prince guards.
Zhang Xianxi, the fifth son of the current emperor, is grateful for the upbringing of the Guo family and inherits the blood of the Saman Persian royal family. In the future, he will definitely be the leader of a country guarding Broken Leaf.
Mr. Hu has now moved his people to Suiye to enrich the country. It seems like he is making wedding clothes for others, but in fact he is building a family fortune for his grandson!"
Hu Guang grabbed Lu Duoxun's hand and squeezed the boy until he broke into a cold sweat, "This is not what a fifteen-year-old boy like you can think of.
Although Ludosun is smart, he has not yet come into contact with the things in the Forbidden Palace. Tell me, who asked you to talk about this?"
Lu Duoxun bared his teeth and gasped. He suddenly realized that the perfect plan he thought he had was nothing in front of a hero like Hu Guang.
"Uncle, uncle, please relax a little, it hurts so much!" He stopped pretending, and no longer thought of himself as Zhuge Zhiliang. Lu Duoxun hurriedly lowered himself down and acted like a kid, no longer calling himself a tiger, and hurriedly called out
uncle.
Hu Guang let go slightly. Lu Duoxun saw that his wrist was almost purple. After taking a breath of air, he didn't care about his wrist and spoke quickly.
"Uncle Mingjian, my nephew is on good terms with the Privy Councilor Guo Gong's eldest son Jie Ge. He heard that a certain person was going to Anxi with his uncle. Guo Gong once sent a member of his family to accompany him. The day before yesterday, he saw that his nephew was not an arrogant and boastful person, so he told him in words.
.”
Hu Guang nodded, that's right. Privy Councilor Guo Tiance was always cautious and never colluded with the generals below, but he still wanted to ask for help from him, so he chose Lu Duoxun in front of him after thousands of choices.
And it was not clear that it was only after seeing that Lu Duoxun was indeed capable that he was invited to lobby.
It seems that after what happened to Guo Ting'er, the Guo family knew that Broken Leaf could no longer be controlled by the Guo family, so they gave up on supporting a prince with Guo's blood and instead looked for other powerful factions to cooperate. Hu Guang is the best one.
Candidate.
Hu Guang looked at Lu Duoxun, whose wrists were purple and blue, with tears in his eyes, and said coldly: "Boy! For the sake of your father, I will teach you to be a good man and act as a man, and you must be less scheming.
Someone with a higher status than you can see through you at a glance, no matter how big the storm is. If they get annoyed, they might crush you to death with just one finger.
If you take advantage of someone with a lower status than you, they can't afford to offend you and can't afford to hide. They may even stab you directly if you offend them.
Even if you want to play tricks, you still have to distinguish the right time. For example, in a relationship like yours and mine, if you are asked to choose again, what should you do?"
Lu Duoxun showed a thoughtful look in his eyes, and then said: "My nephew should tell the truth."
"Hahaha!" Hu Guang threw out a small medicine bottle, "He's not bad in nature, and he's not stupid either. A child can be taught.
Call Privy Envoy Guo’s family generals here, and then prepare how to persuade the Crown Prince of Jin!"
