Fuping, the seat of the Beidi Government, is the original Lingzhou City. After nearly two years of repairs and additions by the people of the Beidi, it is now a large border city that is no less impressive than that of Hanyang and Hebei County. People come and go at the city gate from morning to night.
The traffic was so busy and so noisy that it was hard to believe that two years ago this place was still a ruined place occupied by the Xianling Qiang. Undoubtedly, all this was thanks to Gai Ying, the governor of the North, who drove away the Xianling Qiang;
He revitalized Beidi County; it was he who made Beidi County, which had been dormant and declining for hundreds of years, shine with dazzling brilliance. Of course, one person's power is limited after all, without the help of Beidi officials headed by Chang Shi Liang Gu,
It is impossible for Northland County to reach the point where it is today.
The prefect is the head of a county and the king of a county. In this one-third of an acre, the prefect is the emperor of the land. Different from the hard work when he was the governor of the north, Gai Jun can now take charge of the affairs if he wants to, and if he doesn't want to, he can give up and give up all the power.
Liang Gu, the chief minister, did the work for him. Liang Gu was often busy from morning to night, and sometimes he couldn't even return home for holidays. He complained repeatedly, but Gai Jun plausibly said that I was here the same way back then, and I just got used to it.
Gai Jun went to the temple for a long time that day. Seeing that there was nothing important, he returned to the official residence. When he got home, his wife and two sons were in the study. Cai Wan was holding Gai Mo and Bian Wei and sitting on the desk.
He must be straight, shaking his head and reciting the "Book of Filial Piety", "Confucius said: "The five punishments belong to three thousand, and the crime is no greater than unfilial piety. The one who wants the king is supreme, the one who is not a saint cannot do it, and the one who is not filial has no relatives. This is the way of great chaos.
.”
Gai Jun took off his shoes and walked in. He smiled and said, "Has Fu Ping memorized the Five Penalties Chapter?"
Bian Wei smiled slightly, and Cai Wan replied: "I've memorized it all. Didn't Fu Ping tell you?"
Gai Jun was surprised: "Really?" The eldest son Gai Yi finished memorizing "The Classic of Filial Piety" at the age of four. It was really a big surprise for him... 97 Free Novel Network
Gai Yi turned around, with a hint of shyness in his big eyes.
Gai Jun touched his son's head. He originally named him Yi. On the one hand, he was to commemorate his good friend. On the other hand, he also hoped that his son would become a great man. He hoped that his son would become a genius like Chen Yi. Now it seems that his son is worthy of the name Yi.
His personality is just too shy. As the eldest son of a concubine, I don’t know if he will be bullied in the future. Probably not. My thinking is from modern times, and the palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh.
The second son, Gaimu, had dark eyes, twisted in his mother Cai Wan's arms, and shouted in a childish voice: "I can do it, too. My body is hairy and my skin has been received by my parents, and I don't dare to damage it. This is the beginning of filial piety."
The three adults all laughed. Cai Wan patted Game Mo lightly and said, "You have to learn from your brother."
Gaimu grunted and turned his attention back to the doll in his hand.
Gai Jun sat between the two wives, chatting and laughing with them, until the two children yawned repeatedly and asked the nanny to send them off to rest. Gai Jun said to the second wife, "Today we are in love and enjoying ourselves, why not play some music to cheer up the fun?"
Cai Wan and Bian Wei both agreed, and the latter went into the bedroom and changed into dancing clothes to go out, while Gai Jun and Bian Wei played the piano and flute. The song just started when a servant came in a hurry and wandered outside the door. Gai Jun
I had to stop and ask, "What's the matter?"
The servant replied: "There is a letter from Colonel Huang."
Gai Jun nodded and asked him to take a closer look. When he took the letter, his expression suddenly changed. Cai Wan said softly: "What's wrong?"
"Han Sui annexed Bianzhang, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others, and invaded Longxi. Geng Bi, the governor, led his troops to attack and was defeated and killed. The tens of thousands of troops in the six counties of Liangzhou were almost completely wiped out. Huang Xiaowei fought in several bloody battles.
, killed more than a thousand people..." Gai Jun stretched out his hand to hold his forehead gently, and continued: "Chen, Chen Biao died in battle, so kill me too."
Chen Biao was not a fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, but he had the courage to be a strong general. Gai Jun was once proud of himself. It is good to recruit historical celebrities, but it is also a pleasure to train a person who was originally lost in the long river of history into a world-famous tiger general.
... 97 Free Novel Network Now that Chen Biao has died in battle, you can imagine Gai Jun’s heartache.
"When Chen Biao and Hu Feng were in the capital, they were defeated by Captain Huang. They were convinced. When they learned that Captain Huang was going to conquer the rebels, they begged me to let them go with them. I shouldn't have let them go in the first place..."
Chen Biao was Gai Jun's favorite general. He had been with him since the beginning of his army. He was often the first to ascend. Cai Wan and Bian Wei competed to comfort him. Seeing that Gai Jun was always in deep sorrow, Cai Wan persuaded him seriously: "Geng Shijun
He was defeated and killed, and the situation in Liangzhou will inevitably deteriorate. My husband is responsible for hundreds of thousands of people in the north. I have no time to grieve at this moment, so I should start preparing countermeasures."
"Wan'er is right." Gai Jun cheered up a little, but he was still unhappy.
Cai Wan took the letter and read it hastily, with bright eyes twinkling, and said: "My husband is good at using soldiers and is powerful in the border areas. The Qiang and Hu are happy to obey each other. Korean thieves may not dare to compete with you. What I am worried about is the Fufeng Geng clan..." Fufeng Geng family
This clan has become a famous family in the Eastern Han Dynasty since Geng Yan. For more than a hundred years, there have been hundreds of county magistrates, county magistrates and above, as many as the stars in the sky. Today, there are more than ten people who are officials in the dynasty, and hundreds of people who are local officials. In other words
, as long as the Han Empire does not overthrow the Geng family, they will always be a famous family.
After hearing this, Gai Jun frowned: "Wan'er means..."
Cai Wan frowned and said with a worried look on his face: "Because of the matter of grain and fodder, my husband and Geng Shijun were not on good terms, which is known to the whole world. Now that Geng Shijun has been defeated, I am afraid that the Fufeng Geng family will not give up and may be defeated again."
The responsibility falls on the husband."
Gai Jun was not slow in thinking, he was just thinking about Chen Biao's death and did not notice it. Once Cai Wan reminded him, he immediately figured it out. However, he figured it out, but he was not convinced. He laughed angrily and said: "Geng Bi
The people like Zhao Kuo are boastful and boastful. They are defeated by themselves. What does it have to do with me?"
"..."
The tens of thousands of Han and Hu troops in the six counties of Liangzhou were defeated, and the news of the death of the governor Geng Bi came out, which shocked Kyoto. At the end of last year, the Liangzhou rebels returned to their home base in Jincheng and defeated Zhou Shen's fifth army. They looked powerful, but in fact they were just trapped beasts still fighting.
, in the middle of this year, great victories came one after another in Hanyang and Longxi, which made the officials in the court believe that the rebels were about to be pacified. Who would have thought...
Han Sui killed Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others, integrated the rebels, and then forced the governor of Longxi to surrender. He then killed Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, and then forced his troops to Hanyang, turning the situation in Liangzhou around with almost no effort.
You must know that Hanyang is empty of troops at this time. Once it falls, the rebels will swarm down and attack Youfufeng again, repeating the same mistakes as last year. Last year, the Han Dynasty's western frontier was empty of troops and the rebels took advantage of it. This year is completely different.
, Han Sui could still achieve this step, what does it mean to turn his hands to make clouds and turn his hands to make rain? This is the first time that the courtiers felt the amazing methods of this famous man from Western Xinjiang.
At the same time, public opinion that was unfavorable to Gai Jun began to spread in the court. This public opinion believed that Geng Bi originally wanted to march into Jincheng County and go straight to the rebel nest. It was precisely because Gai Jun refused to provide food that the Han army was unable to do so.
The start of the campaign gave Han Sui enough time to integrate the internal affairs, which led to the collapse of Liangzhou. Some people from the Geng family said bitterly: "Gai Ying gathered hundreds of thousands of Qiang and Hu to cultivate the fields and turned a deaf ear to the orders of the governor.
What does he want to do? Does he want to separate one party from another?"
Gai Xun and Ma Rixi were worried, and both sent long letters, reprimanding Gai Jun in a harsher tone than ever before, which made Gai Jun frown. A few days later, the edict was issued, which was also not good, and finally ordered him to immediately send troops to reinforce Hanyang.
.
"Damn, reinforcements, how many more? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? The other side has hundreds of thousands of horses..." Gai Jun cursed in his heart, while deploying Qiang and Hu soldiers, field soldiers, and shooting tigers, and the second battalion of Luodiao, including infantry and cavalry
Twenty thousand people, led by Gai Yin, the general of the bandit Zhonglang, rushed to Hanyang for rescue.
--------------------------
More than a thousand miles to the north of Beidi County, there is the prairie.
There is no desolation or desolation in the grassland in winter. The warm sun shines, the earth is windless, and it is as warm as spring. The vast wilderness is shining with golden light. At first sight, people think that this is not withered grass, but mature wheat and rice.
On a narrow path next to the vast mountain, hundreds of Hu knights suddenly appeared, row after row, in an orderly manner. An hour passed, and a full hour passed, and people continued to appear...
He Lian walked out of the mountain surrounded by many guards. He was about thirty years old, tall and strong, with slightly dark complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was undoubtedly a good-looking person among the Xianbei people. Undoubtedly, this good-looking appearance was inherited from
His father was Tanshihuai, King of Xianbei.
The breeze blew by, and he saw the waves of grass undulating, a golden light, and boundless. He Lian couldn't help but feel relieved. He opened his arms and shouted: "Ah ah ah ah... It's been six years, six years, Han people, haven't you
I began to miss the great Xianbei sword..." Indeed, since Xianbei King Tan Shihuai died of illness five years ago, Xianbei has not invaded the south for six full years, and the Han people have almost forgotten what Xianbei looked like.
When Tan Shihuai died, He Lian was just a young boy in his twenties with no achievements. The adults of the three tribes in the East, Middle and West were not convinced. He Lian secretly endured it and spent five years to finally restore half of his father Tan Shihuai's inheritance.
.
He Lian was a little impatient to go south, but he hesitated as to which place to choose as his target. You, You, was undoubtedly the best choice.
, as soon as Wang Ting made a move, the Han Dynasty would know about it, so Helian chose Liangzhou and the Northland as his target. When his father Tan Shihuai invaded the Northland, he was defeated by the Northland prefect Xia Yu and Tu Gehu, although later
Tan Shihuai's defeat of Xia Yu in the Han Dynasty's attack on the grassland was regarded as revenge, but shame is shame. He Lian believed that by conquering the north, he could prove to his tribe that he and He Lian were no better than his father Tan Shi.
Sophora japonica is doing poorly, or even better. If the Northland is still poor, he has no interest in going there. According to rumors, the Northland is now very rich, with warehouses full of grain and grass, and cattle and sheep everywhere...
As for Gai Jun, the governor of the North, a famous general of Han Dynasty, Helian subconsciously curled his lips and disapproved of it. To put it bluntly, Xianbei had encountered many famous generals of Han Dynasty. At that time, Zang Min, Xia Yu, and Tian Yan were not the most famous...
…
"Start from the north and tell the Han Dynasty that the Great Xianbei is back."
