Chapter 180: Matching Opponents Will Meet Liangcai 20
Wei Bin chuckled and said: "Prefect Duan is so loyal to his duties, it is really a blessing to the king of heaven and a blessing to the world. In this case, Duan Ye listens to the announcement!"
"I listen to the announcement!" Duan Ye immediately knelt down respectfully, and the civil and military personnel behind him, as well as the soldiers and civilians who came out of the city to greet them, also knelt down in unison, and their movements were uniform and without any sloppiness.
Xiaosi and Xiaowu looked at each other but said nothing.
"The imperial edict says: Duan Ye, the prefect of Dunhuang, who conscientiously fulfills his duties and is good at fighting, is specially appointed as a general of chariots and cavalry, granted the title of Marquis of Yuanchuan, and controls the troops and horses of his headquarters. When he goes to punish the rebels and begs the benevolence of the country, he will issue the edict immediately!"
Wei Bin's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone in the audience to hear clearly. Moreover, the slow changes in his rhythm could firmly capture people's hearts! Duan Ye also spent a lot of time.
Only with strength can we avoid the effect of being controlled and hypnotized.
When Wei Bin finished reading, Duan Ye said with emotion: "As a minister, you should share the Lord's worries and be loyal to the country! My minister Duan Ye is willing to raise an army to fight against the thieves, even to the death!"
"Okay!" Wei Bin nodded happily and took a purple box from Xiao Si.
Duan Ye's breathing quickened slightly. Of course he knew what it was! It was the seal and ribbon of General Chariot and Cavalry! General Chariot and Cavalry was not an ordinary title. In terms of status, it was second only to the General and General Cavalry.
With gold seal and purple ribbon, his status is equivalent to that of a high official, and he can almost be compared with the three princes.
More importantly, according to regulations, the generals of chariots and cavalry have fixed official positions, rather than being temporarily revoked after being granted a title. They have a shogunate, which can be independently established according to regulations. The subordinates of the government have a long history, and each has one commander and two ministers.
There are twenty-nine people under the command, and thirty-one people under the imperial command. The generals who lead the army with their own titles have their own tribes and captains.
In other words, Fu Hong's appointment of Duan Ye as a chariot and cavalry general was equivalent to his promotion of Duan Ye from a tiger-winged general with the nature of an assistant to a general, and promoted Duan Ye to the level of a first-line military general in the country.
He can open a government office, which is a great favor and trust!
In addition, he was also made a marquis. This is also an extraordinary grace. Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang had sworn by killing a white horse, "If you are not a Liu family, you will not be a king, and if you are not a hero, you will not be a marquis." The meaning is very simple.
Planting something symbolizes honor and status, and must not be granted indiscriminately. Just like Changmao, more than 2,000 royal titles were granted, which will only cause the collapse of etiquette and music. The rarer the title, the more it can win over people's hearts and consolidate its rule.
The effect is that since Liu Bang's time, the world has formed a consensus that the royal family can be crowned with princes because of their noble status, and meritorious ministers can also be crowned with titles because of their hard work and merit.
Duan Ye is obviously neither of these. So, Fu Hong has now given him a title, which is a huge expectation and a lot of pressure. You know, Fu Hong only gave Duan Ye the military title, but he has the civilian title of Dunhuang Governor.
There is still no real elimination, which means that he is still the prefect, and he is still serving as a local official and a permanent general. At this time, there are not many Jiangnan people in the world, although he is often given a lot of official positions, such as "kaifu"
"Yitong Sansi, Jiajie, General of the Western Expedition, Jingyang Two Prefectures Shepherd, Commander-in-Chief of all Chinese and foreign military forces", many of these are not actual teachings and cannot be compared with Duan Ye.
Therefore, on the one hand, being promoted to an official position without merit is naturally an example for the world. The so-called buying horse bones for a thousand gold is probably like this. On the other hand, after this, Duan Ye's reputation will definitely rise again and he will become a famous figure in the world. Then
As the saying goes, being short-sighted and being soft-handed is a mistake. Since Duan Ye has received favor from others, he must repay it. If he does not capture Qifu Guoren, I am afraid the consequences will be serious.
However, Duan Ye was waiting for this moment, so he decisively ended up with the golden seal and purple ribbon! At the same time, with Wei Bin's nod, Duan Ye slowly stood up and gently raised the golden seal and purple ribbon above his head!
Seeing this scene, Duan Ye's troops cheered in unison, shaking the world!
At this moment, they were really proud! They saw with their own eyes that their leader had gone from joining the army to becoming a veritable prince recognized by the Qin court in just one year! Now, he even has a gold seal and a purple ribbon.
, that is a gold seal and a purple ribbon with a seal! Only very noble people are qualified to enjoy it. And their lord, at a young age, can achieve this, so his future will naturally be unlimited.
The future for adults is as bright as the sea, can’t we all ascend to heaven? Everyone’s cheers are definitely from the heart and are extremely sincere.
Duan Ye turned around at this time and said gratefully to Wei Bin: "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for your cultivation! Duan Ye will never forget it!"
"The ones who cultivated you are the King of Heaven and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Wei Bin waved his hand, "When I came here, I had already gone to Dunhuang and communicated with Jie Xia. I heard that you are now Jie Xia's adopted son?"
"Yes, I would like to accept Duan as the son of a worm," Duan Ye said honestly.
"Hehehe, very good, your adoptive father only accepted you as his adopted son," Wei Bin said meaningfully.
"Sir" Duan Ye was about to explain, but Wei Bin waved his hand and said: "You don't need to say anything more. I know many things. Even though the prince is far away in Chang'an, he also knows that the key point is how you do it yourself. Do you understand?"
"Duan Ye understands"
"Okay," Wei Bin said with a smile, "your adoptive father also agrees with you going to war for the country, just go ahead and do it."
"Please rest assured, Sir, the army will set off in two days!" Duan Ye said firmly, "Just in time, Sir, you have come from a long way, and the carriage and horses have been tiring all the way. Duan also prepared a banquet in Dunhuang. The soldiers and civilians of Dunhuang are about to welcome you.
please!"
"Please!" Wei Bin smiled happily
=========================Now Wei Bin and representative Fu Hong are on a mission to Liangzhou, naturally in order to get Duan Ye to step aside.
Go attack Qifu Guoren to relieve the pressure on Guanzhong, because Fu Hong's place is really unbearable.
On the other side of Guandong, Murong Chong occupied Yecheng, Zhai Bin was making good progress in Henan, and Liu Yu sent troops to the Northern Expedition. It can be said that the three heroes stood in harmony and the fierce battle was in full swing. However, Guanzhong also divided the world into three parts, and the weakest one was naturally Duan Ye.
Qifu Guoren is about to seek peace. However, Qifu Guoren also knows that he has no capital to gamble at the table, so he keeps a low profile. In addition to posting hero posts widely when he became king, he gained a lot of limelight.
So far, we are still sticking to our headquarters, and at the same time dispatching small groups of troops to subdue the surrounding miscreants. Generally speaking, there is not much movement.
The real troublemaker for Fu Hong was Yao Chang, who claimed to be King of Qin for Ten Thousand Years. Since they raised their troops in Weibei, Yao Chang and his sons conquered Beidi, Xinping, and settled the counties, and more than 100,000 Qiang and Hu surrendered.
What Fu Hong was most worried about at that time was that he really had no troops at hand. However, at this moment, Fu Shen, who was stationed in Shuzhong, personally led 30,000 Sichuan troops out of Xiegu and headed west to attack Yao Chang! Fu!
Hong was very happy and made Fu Shen the King of Zhongshan, the Great General, the Commander-in-Chief of all Chinese and foreign military forces, and he was fully responsible for the campaign against Yao Chang.
At the same time, Fu Hong also squeezed out the last 10,000 cavalry and appointed Li Bin as general. He obeyed Fu Shen's control and supported Fu Shen. For a time, Fu Shen's army was greatly morale!
King Fu Shen of Zhongshan came to fight this battle with a great sense of mission. Now it is peaceful in Shu, but everything outside makes him really uneasy. He has the responsibility to stand up at this time to help his brother and the country, so
Although sending troops without an order was strictly speaking an act almost equivalent to conspiracy, he still did it without hesitation.
As expected, his brother did not blame him, but instead praised him greatly, which made Fu Shen even more convinced that this decision was the right one.
How to repay your kindness? The only way is to fight to the death! Fu Shen personally led 20,000 infantry and cavalry into the mountains of Beidi to attack Yao Chang, garrisoned at Zhaoshiwu, and attacked separately with his general Li Bin. They attacked from two directions and won several victories in succession.
The young Fu Shen even killed Yao Chang's younger brother Yao Yimai with his own hands. The morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted, and they all fought bravely and fought to the death. The Qiang soldiers could not resist it at all. Fu Shen soon besieged Yao Chang in the Angong Valley.
There were no wells in the Qiang army's garrison, and the Qin army blocked the entrance of the valley and intercepted Tongguan's water. Over time, soldiers died of thirst. The soldiers complained and the camps were full of excitement.
Right Sima Yinwei came to see Yao Chang. As soon as he entered the big tent, he shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, we have to think of a way. If this continues, we will die of thirst and the army will mutiny. Then Fu Shen will only need to fight one more battle."
, let’s just…”
Yao Chang was reading in the tent, with no wrinkles on his face. He rolled his triangular eyes, as sharp as an awl, "What's your plan?"
Yin Wei was stunned for a moment and said: "It's just that I have no choice but to ask the king to make an idea."
"Well!" Yao Chang stood up and stretched, pointed at the civil and military officials in the tent with his scroll and said, "You all come to Gu to make decisions?"
Only then did Yin Wei notice that there was a room full of people in the big tent, all of them were elegant and silent.
Yao Chang snorted and said, "Look at you, huh? Why are you so narrow-minded and silent when things are about to happen?"
Some people couldn't bear it and blushed. It turned out that these were some new Confucian scholars who joined after Yao Chang revolted. After all, they were relatively thin-skinned and were not used to this method.
In fact, anyone who has been with Yao Chang for a long time knows that Yao Chang talks like this, with sarcasm and sarcasm, and he will scold you bloody. But in fact, Yao Chang doesn't have any ill intentions. In the words of later generations, he is just a mouthful.
That's all, he doesn't hold grudges after saying that. If you can come up with a good idea, he will soon smile, so Yin Wei and others are shy and don't take it seriously.
The Cavalry General Yao Fangcheng blushed and said: "Your Majesty, I will lead my warriors out of the valley mouth to fight the Di thieves."
Yao Chang chuckled, "What have you been doing? Now the soldiers can't even drink water, so go and die!"
Yin Wei said hurriedly: "The soldiers are all looking at the king, waiting for the king to give orders?"
Yao Chang casually put the book on the table and took a few steps in the big tent, "What use am I to? The valley is full of rocks and there is no water to be dug. If it doesn't rain, you and I will die of thirst here.
!”
After saying that, Yao Chang snorted loudly and strode out of the tent.
Walking outside the tent, looking at his loyal sons and daughters, Yao Chang looked up at the sky, but saw that the sky was as blue as water, and there was no sign of rain.
Taking a deep breath, Yao Chang, who was already helpless, raised his hands and congratulated: "The sky has eyes. If our country, Qin Dynasty, has a great destiny for ten thousand years, please send down the rain to quench the hunger and thirst of my soldiers!"
Seeing his pious look, all the civil and military officials secretly laughed in their hearts, "Your Majesty, you're crazy. If the weather is nice, will it rain? Is it possible that you can just rely on words to ask for sweet rain?"
Everyone did not dare to stay in the tent and went out one after another to salute to the sky. They saw darkness in the southeast, and a cloud came from the sky. In an instant, pattering raindrops hit the vast valley and the faces of tens of thousands of soldiers.
Heart
Everyone was stunned, really shocked! They stared at Yao Chang's thin figure immersed in the misty rain.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the dense raindrops hit people's bodies and faces. The roar of mountains and tsunamis resounded in the valley, drowning out the sound of rain. "Long live the King of Qin! Long live the King of Qin!"
"
Fu Shen in the distance looked at the sky silently, and the two words in his heart became louder and louder: God's will! God's will!
It rained all morning, and the water in the camp was three feet deep. A hundred steps away from the Qiang camp, there was only more than an inch of water. The soldiers thought they were protected by gods, and their morale was greatly boosted. They all clamored to fight the Qin soldiers to the death!
Yin Wei dove into Yao Chang's inner tent, shook his wet clothes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are a true god!"
With a proud look on his face, Yao Chang took off his soaked clothes and sat on the bed. He pulled off his heavy cowhide boots filled with water and poured out the water. He said with a smile: "A general knows astronomy at the top, geography at the bottom, and geography at the bottom."
If you are a good person and don't even know that it is going to rain, then you are mediocre."
Yin Wei smiled excitedly: "As soon as it rains, the morale of our army will be strong, and the thieves will be discouraged. We can take advantage of the situation to attack them, and they will be able to defeat them."
Yao Chang chuckled: "Fu Shen is about to retreat, there is no need for us to fight."
Yin Weidao: "How can we see it?"
Yao Chang put on clean clothes and said: "I placed Xing'er on the outskirts of Chang'an. I originally wanted to scare Fu Shen's son. Unexpectedly, Fu Shen was really bold. He actually dared to leave Chang'an empty city alone and come directly to plot against me. He didn't plan it at the time.
This kid is actually so cruel and cruel, he would rather lose Chang'an and Fu Hong than destroy us first, but we wasted those five thousand elite soldiers in vain. But now, Fu Shen sees that I am getting rain, and it is useless to surround him, and he
I am afraid that Chang'an will be lost, and it will naturally retreat soon."
Yin Wei hurriedly said: "Wouldn't it be better if our army pursues us later?"
"Oh, no need. Fu Shen, a young man, is quite capable, but a little scheming. We don't have to deal with him. Of course, there will be people who want him to eat and walk around."
Yin Wei suddenly realized, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Fu Shen outside the valley looked helpless in the face of the heavy rain and sighed: "Does God also bless the thieves?"
A young girl in silver armor next to her said with anger on her face: "It's a pity that we fell short again! But brother Shen, don't be discouraged, we still have a chance." "Bao'er, you are always so optimistic." Fu Hong doted on him.
Touched the girl’s little head
It turned out that this girl was Fu Bao, the sister of Fu Shen's mother. Because she was young and had not yet been given a title, Zhang was worried about the situation in Chang'an, so she asked Fu Shen to take Fu Bao south to Shu to seek refuge. Unexpectedly, this daughter was actually a heroine.
He refused to let me, but he actually joined the army and fought with Fu Shen. Fu Shen also happened to be short of men, and he couldn't resist Fu Bao's hard work, so he agreed.
Fu Bao'er is still young, but she is not as gentle as her mother Zhang, but rather heroic. Her performance in this battle is also very good, which is quite positive. Fu Shen is also very happy. His sister has made a difference. After all,
is a good thing
Fu Bao saw Fu Shen touching her little head, but she was quite dissatisfied and broke away, saying: "Brother Shen! You treat me like a child again!"
"Hahahaha" Fu Shen laughed rarely. These days, it's really hard.
