Although Lu Shuihu has mottled blood, and his skin and hair are not Chinese, after all, like the Di people, Qiang people, Qiang Hu and other races, they live in the Han border and are neighbors with Han people. They inevitably interact with each other on weekdays. Therefore, Lu Shuihu
Most of the Hu chiefs could speak Chinese, and among the dozens of Hu generals in the king's tent, 60 to 70 percent of them could understand what the Chinese envoys said.
In the past few years in Western Xinjiang, rumors have spread everywhere about how wealthy Beidi County is. To say that people are not tempted is definitely a lie. However, judging from the situation, the king seems to care about the friendship with Gai Ying in the past and has no intention of plundering Beidi County.
meaning.
Juqu Yuan'an sat on the throne, looked around the tent, and for a long time, signaled the generals to retreat. Everyone looked at each other, bowed down, and then filed out. Even the guards were sent away. Except for Juqu Yuan'an, there was only one person in the tent.
Of the remaining three people, one of them is naturally Luo Hou, the chief general of Lu Shuihu.
The other man was in his early thirties, with a tall and slender figure, a handsome face, beautiful hair, and eyes like paint. His appearance did not look like Lu Shui Hu, but more like a Han Chinese. The Chinese culture was extensive and profound, and was envied by the Hu people.
A group of Chinese Hu people were born who took Chinese names, learned Chinese language, practiced Han rituals, and respected Han customs. This person was Peng Mingfei, whose surname was Lu Shuihu. He lived in the area around the Yellow River where Wuwei and Anding counties meet.
Peng Fei was of a noble birth. He studied classics and history, and taught himself military skills. He was both civil and military, and he and Luo Hou were the right-hand men of Ju Qu Yuan'an. Ju Qu Yuan'an was extremely wary of his talents.
, in order to win over him, he first married his sister, and then married her with her, with good intentions.
The last person is about the same age as King Juqu Yuan'an. He is eight feet long, has a thick torso, has deep eyes and a high nose, and has a yellow beard. From the Han people's point of view, although his appearance is a bit strange, he can be said to be an outstanding figure in Lu.
Shui Huzhong is a very handsome man. His surname is Juqu and his name is Wuxia, and he is the cousin of the great king Juqu Yuan'an. The two have known each other since childhood and have a deep relationship, just like compatriots. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the beginning of Zhongping,
Juqu had no time to serve as a military prince and went to Guandong with Juqu Yuan'an. Whenever there was a battle, he would always ignore the difficulties and get into the formation first, kill generals and capture flags. He had many military exploits and was Juqu Yuan'an's most capable assistant at that time. Later, he was the most capable assistant of Juqu Yuan'an at that time.
, Unified Lu Shuihu in all the battles, and not a single one was absent. He was the best among all generals, and his reputation was inferior to that of Luohou and Peng Fei.
Luo Hou, Peng Fei, and Ju Qu Wuxia were all known for their loyalty and bravery, and their reputations spread far and wide, making their enemies frightened. They were known as the Three Heroes.
Juqu Yuanan leaned on the throne, looked down at the three generals he relied on most, and slowly said: "If you have any ideas, you might as well tell me..."
"..." Luo Hou was speechless. He had always been quick at things but slow to speak. Whenever he had a plan, he would always remain silent. But once Ju Qu Yuanan decided on something, no matter how difficult it was, he would do his best to complete it. He
Just such a person.
Peng Fei and Ju Qu had no time to look at each other and nodded at the same time. Both of them participated in the battle to suppress the Yellow Turbans, and later the battle to defeat Han Suiyou Fufeng, the battle to defeat the wilderness and benefit the north, and the battle to defeat Tang Po's stability.
, I have been with Gai Jun day and night for more than a year, and I have a deep understanding of his character. Juqu Wuxia twirled his yellow beard and said: "Gai Jun is a handsome person, generous on the outside and jealous on the inside, ruthless and decisive, and he will definitely not agree with us.
We have no intention of giving up the founding of the country. There are irreconcilable conflicts between the two sides. Instead of waiting for Han Sui's defeat in the future and facing the threat from Gai Jun alone, we should take advantage of this opportunity to join forces with Han Sui to fight against it.
enemy."
"..." Juqu Yuan'an didn't say a word. Now is not the time for him to express his stance.
Peng Fei took advantage of the situation and said: "Although Han Wenyue dominates Xiliang, Han and Hu return to the heart, and has more than 100,000 soldiers, it is still not as good as Gai Ying who is entrenched in the northern border. He has a big tree with deep roots and strong strength. The two are clearly strong and weak. We can help Han Wen.
It is agreed that even if Gai Ying fails, he will not be defeated, but will suffer some minor setbacks at most. This is in line with our wishes. The destruction of either side of Gai and Han will only cause the other side to become stronger, which is not in our interests. Only if we are evenly matched, we
Only then can we fish in troubled waters and profit from it.”
Juqu Yuan'an said calmly: "So, you two agree with what Han Wenyue's envoy said and support the proposal to send troops to the North?"
"Yes." Peng Fei and Ju Qu Wuxia said in unison. Peng Fei replied: "We are just giving our opinions. In the end, it is up to the king to make the decision."
"I know, you guys go down..." Juqu Yuan'an glanced at Luo Hou, who was as calm as a mountain, raised his hand and waved, and the three generals immediately came out of the tent.
"Brother Gai... do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?" Juqu Yuan Anku sat in the empty tent, picked up the wine glass, raised his neck and drank deeply, his eagle eyes became more and more clear...
…
On the third day after Juqu Yuan'an agreed to Han Sui's joint strategy, a large number of Han and Hu soldiers entered Wuwei from the north and south. Obviously, Han Sui had made preparations in advance and marched troops to the border of Wuwei until Juqu Yuan'an arrived.
Reply and head to Wuwei immediately.
The Northern Army of the Korean Army consisted of about 15,000 infantry and cavalry, composed of soldiers from Dunhuang, Jiuquan, and Zhangye counties and several thousand hybrid Qiang and Hu.
Central part of Wuwei County, Xuanwei County.
A man climbed to the top of Xuanwei City surrounded by many soldiers. He was about thirty-six or seventeen years old, tall and nearly eight feet tall, with a square head and big ears, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth.
The appearance is very majestic and unforgettable. This person is Song Li, the commander of the Korean Army and the Northern Army, who currently serves as the prefect of Jiuquan.
Song Li walked slowly to the edge of the city wall and stared at the vast land of Xiliang on the outskirts of the city. He was in a daze. He was born in the Song family in Dunhuang. The Song family moved to Dunhuang as early as when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty developed Hexi. Compared with the historical background,
None of the surnames Linghu, Zhang, Suo, and Si can match it, only the Cao family can compare. However, over the past hundreds of years, the Song family has developed extremely slowly. It may be famous in a county, but it cannot be ranked in Dunhuang County.
No. 1. This embarrassing situation did not change until the rise of Song Li.
During the Song Dynasty, Li Biao had the courtesy name Gongyuan. He was a scholar from Dunhuang and had the late Cangwu Governor Linghu Pu as his teacher. The Linghu family of Dunhuang, like the Gai family to which Gai Jun belonged, did not rise for a long time. It only lasted for more than a hundred years. The first generation
Linghu said that he gave birth to six sons, Fu, Jian, You, Xian, Jin and Meng, all of whom were extraordinary. The third generation Linghu Yu was the official to the prefect of Liangshi Boling, Linghu Pu was the fourth generation, and his knowledge was Hexi
Zhang Huan of the Sanming Dynasty in Liangzhou also respected him. At this point, the Linghu family of Dunhuang relied on Linghu Pu to become "the crown prince of the West" and "the powerful right hand of Xizhou", becoming a famous family in Hexi.
Song Li followed Linghu Pu to study "Poems", "Zuo Zhuan", "Historical Records", "Han Shu", and "Sun Wu's Art of War", and recited them briefly. He was a man of talents and many strategies. At the beginning of Zhongping, Zhang Jiao rose up.
The moth thieves caused trouble, and Gai Jun sent people back to their hometowns to ask for help in order to build the second battalion of Shooting Tigers and Falling Eagles. Song Li believed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the family to rise. He fought against all opinions and persuaded the head of the family, Song Bing, to fully support Gai Jun.
As a military marquis, he accompanied the army to suppress the Yellow Turbans. He fought in more than twenty battles, large and small, and made many contributions.
Hui Jincheng Han Sui, Bian Zhang, and Beigong Bo wanted to rebel. Song Liyin knew that Xizhou was going to be in chaos, so he refused to enter the palace and became Yulinlang, preferring to stay in the army and serve. Later, the chariot general Shi Zhaoqi was promoted by the general He Jin.
Gai Jun, the governor of Dunhuang, wanted to let his elder brother Gai Guan lead an army to escort him. Song Li was tempted and went into Zhao Qi's tent at night to persuade him, so he sent thousands of people on foot and cavalry to escort Zhao Qi to his post.
At that time, Han Sui sent troops to the Yellow River to block the road, and the four counties in Hexi could not communicate with the imperial court. After Zhao Qi arrived in the county, he saw that the Dunhuang people were arrogant and wanted to plunder civilians' property. The situation was extremely serious, so he had to rely on Song Li. The latter had both
He had military power and was trusted by the prefect Zhao Qi. In the face of provocation, he resorted to tough measures. He first suppressed the most rebellious people, and then pushed the Song family to the forefront, and promoted the poor families and small clans in Dunhuang to serve as assistants to fight against the wealthy surnames in the county.
After some overt and covert fighting, the various surnames did not get any advantage, and the Song family took advantage of the opportunity to successfully ascend to power.
Soon, Zhao Qi led tens of thousands of soldiers from four counties in Hexi and Lu Shuihu to sneak attack on Jincheng County, the base of the rebels. As a result, Lu Shuihu rebelled on the battlefield and the entire army was wiped out. Song Li and Zhao Qi were captured together. He was responsible for revitalizing the family.
Zhao Qi was not determined to surrender despite the heavy task, so Han Sui persuaded him to surrender. He was first appointed as the captain of Zhangye's vassal state, and later became the prefect of Jiuquan.
Song Li withdrew his gaze, turned to the person next to him and said, "Yide, where is the other party?"
The person whose name is Yide is named Yin. He comes from the Yin family in Dunhuang. His surname is the same as the Song family, and it is not a surname of a wealthy family. He is about thirty years old, more than seven feet tall, slightly thin, and wears a white robe.
He was full of elegance, extraordinary appearance, and excellent manners. Yin was rarely famous. He was friendly with Song Li, and with Song Li he became the Sima of Zhangye's vassal state and the governor of Jiuquan County.
The person Song Li mentioned was the Jincheng soldiers, so Yin replied: "According to the itinerary, we can arrive before sunset."
Song Li nodded and said no more words.
As time goes by, the red sun gradually sets in the west, and dust is flying in the south of Xuanwei County, accompanied by the deafening sound of horse hooves.
Song Li, who had been standing at the top of the city for a long time, couldn't help but feel shaken. The secret message came...
The number of the Southern Army is also about 15,000, but all of them are cavalry. They are mainly composed of soldiers from Jincheng County, Huangzhong Qiang, and Xiqiang. The Huangzhong Qiang live in the Huangzhong area of the Han Dynasty (Jincheng County) and belong to
Naturalized Qiang people. The Western Qiang refers to the Qiang people around the West Sea who are not convinced by the king. The Zhong Qiang is the richest and most powerful, claiming to have more than 100,000 victorious soldiers. There are also Baima and Shaodang, which are also the most powerful tribes. Victory
There are tens of thousands of soldiers, and there are other types of soldiers, the big ones are more than ten thousand, and the small ones are thousands.
The commander-in-chief of the Southern Army was General Zhonglang, Qu Guang, a native of Jincheng. This man was slightly less talented than his compatriots Qu Sheng and Qu Yan, and he was also a rare good general. Under his command were Jiang Fei, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan and others from the capital.
There are more than ten lieutenants, Qiang chiefs, and dozens of Qu commanders.
The two armies met at the foot of Xuanwei County, rested briefly, and marched north the next day, heading straight for Wuwei County.
King Lu Shuihu, Juqu Yuan'an, had been waiting for a long time, and sent his generals Luo Hou and Peng Fei to lead Lu Shui Fei's 20,000 cavalry to meet him. The two sides joined forces, and their number exceeded the 50,000 mark in one fell swoop.
Then, after urgent consultations, the two sides decided on a marching route from Xiutuze to the north of Beidi County...
