Chapter 372 The Chaos in Chang'an (4)(1/2)
Chapter 372: Chang'an Rebellion (IV)
When will Dong Qi arrive in Zhongshan?
This is not only the answer Gu Yong wants to know, but many people, including Wu Qiu Jian, also want to know the answer.
Wuqiu Jian was a great clan in Wenxi and the second son of Wuqiuxing, Hou in Gaoyang Township.
According to the ancient rules, all aristocratic families were inherited by the eldest son, and of course the eldest son must be born by the wife. Wuqiu Jian was unfortunately the second son, and he was also the second son of the concubine. In other words, from the day he was born, he was destined to be unable to inherit the family's career. He either depended on the family or started a new career with the support of the family.
Wu Qiuxing is not a simple person.
Among the two generations of emperors, Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, the family has been preserved. Maybe it sounds like this is nothing special. But think about it carefully, how many things have happened in these two generations of emperors?
The Party and the Yellow Turban Rebellion...
Countless northern tribes were destroyed in this turmoil. But the Wuqiu tribe still stands in Hedong, which is not worth mentioning.
At that time, Li Ru had already had a connection with Wu Qiuxing when he took over Anbu.
As Dong Qi became prosperous in the Western Regions, not only did he not decline because of Dong Zhuo's death, but instead became more and more prosperous. Wu Qiuxing vaguely felt that sooner or later, Dong Qi would definitely break out of the Western Regions and stay in Guanzhong.
Aristocratic families are not like ordinary people.
They are first loyal to their family and then loyal to the court.
What is the most beneficial thing for the family? Then they will make corresponding decisions. Although Wu Qiuxing knew that Dong Qi was directed by thousands of people from the Kanto clan, how could Wu Qiuxing, who was also a warrior, care about these things?
Since the second son Wuqiu Jian cannot inherit his ancestral property, let him start a career!
The aristocratic races are not all foolish and incompetent. Most of the time, they see far more thoroughly than ordinary people.
At that time, Wuqiu Jian was not yet in a bad state.
So in the name of studying, Wu Qiuxing secretly sent Wu Qiu Jian to Han'an City and studied under the school of Liu Hong, a scholar of the Taixue.
Who is Liu Hong?
In terms of seniority, he was the uncle of Liu Bian, the King of the Western Han Dynasty; in terms of knowledge, he was also a well-versed teacher of Dong Qi in his name.
From this point of view, Wu Qiu Jian has left the Dong family's mark.
After that, Wu Qiu Jian returned home and was responsible for contacting Zhongshan Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. How did these two people get involved with Dong Qi? Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Luo for his "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
When Li Ru started to cast a net to Jizhou, the first thing he considered was the Zhen family in Zhongshan.
However, Dong Qi did not have a very deep impression of the Zhen family in Zhongshan, and the background of the Zhen family was really complicated.
At the beginning of the Romance of the Romance, two businessmen were mentioned.
At that time, Liu Bei summoned the township heroes in Zhuo County and received funding from two merchants. One was Su Shuang and the other was Zhang Shiping.
Zhang Shiping's real name is Zhang You (you), and his courtesy name is Shiping.
This is also what Li Ru later found out. The backgrounds of these two people are not complicated. Although Zhang You belongs to the branch of Zhang's family in Zhongshan, that was a long time ago. Since Zhang You's ancestors went to business, the Zhang family has already eliminated Zhang You's group. Although they are of the same clan, they have not had any contact with each other for a long time.
In contrast, Su Shuang and Zhang You are more in line with Dong Qi's requirements.
When Li Ru sent someone to contact Su and Zhang secretly, Su Shuang and Zhang You were a little confused at the time. This was a pie that fell from the sky. Although there were risks, once it was successful, the benefits obtained would be unimaginable.
Who do businessmen admire the most?
It was not Tao Zhugong, the ancestor of the merchant, nor was it Zigong, a student under the saint. Who has the best business? Lu Buwei, who is not "strange goods can live in". After discussion, Su Shuang and Zhang You immediately agreed to Li Ru's invitation.
At the end of July, after the accident in Jining, Chang'an quickly received news.
And not long after, they received news from Dong Qi. The person who went to Chang'an to deliver the letter was Wu Yan.
Wuyan was not a Han Chinese and was proficient in Xianbei language.
So it was easy to pass through the outer border and arrive in Shuofang. And through a secret way, he told Chang'an about Dong Qi's situation.
In fact, Dong Qi's situation is not good.
In the battle outside the Great Wall, Guo Yuan was killed in battle, Dong Qi was injured by arrows, and Yuan Rong soldiers were seriously injured. Only more than 80 people were left when the final count was counted.
Dong Qi has never suffered such a loss in his life even when he was in the most embarrassing moment!
After entering the Yunzhong, he immediately escaped into the mountains and did not dare to appear easily. On the one hand, he sent Wuyan to report the news, while on the other hand, he secretly observed the situation and waited for Chang'an's rescue. After all, Yunzhong was not Guanzhong, and this was Yuan Shao's territory, so Dong Qi had to be careful. Fortunately, although Gao Lan stationed troops in Wuyuan Yunzhong, he only blocked the levels.
After receiving the news from Dong Qi, Chang'an immediately sent Wuqiu Jian to Zhongshan.
They needed to borrow the relationship between Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping to bring Dong Qi from the clouds to Hedong. Instead of going through the Wuyuan in the clouds, they were beyond everyone's expectations, and Bingzhou passed through Jizhou. After entering Jizhou, they set off from Zhongshan Kingdom, went to Changshan Kingdom, and arrived in Hedong Wenxi through Shangdang. As long as they arrived at Wenxi, the safety of Dong Qi and others would be guaranteed.
As for Changshan Kingdom, Zhongshan Kingdom, and even Shangdang...
Su Shuang and Zhang You are responsible for opening up the links.
When Wuqiu Jian arrived in Zhongshan, Su Shuang and Zhang You had already left the frontier. Therefore, Wuqiu Jian stayed in Zhongshan, and the other wave of troops was a team of 300 martial artists led by Dong Tie. Under the leadership of the Su family, they went to contact Su Shuang.
"Mr. Gu doesn't have to worry. With Brother Yuanrong taking action, the lord will be able to be worry-free."
He comforted Gu Yong with a wry smile, and then said to Su You and Zhang Zun: "Two brothers, although what the Zhen family said is the truth, we still need to be careful. When sending someone to monitor the Zhen family's every move, we must also be prepared... If my estimate is good and everything goes well, the lord will arrive in one or two days."
Su and Zhang Zun took the order and left.
Since the secret has been revealed, there is no need to hide it. In terms of status, Su You and Zhang Zun are all under the command of Wu Qiu Jian. At this time, Gu Yong's uneasy heart was suddenly put back into his stomach.
When we parted in the city, it has been fourteen years in a blink of an eye!
Judging from the actions of my junior brother, in his heart, there is still a senior brother like me!
but……
Gu Yong suddenly remembered something and asked softly: "Young Master Wuqiu, I don't know what to do in Chang'an?"
Chang'an?
Wuqiu Jian was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, although Chang'an is in chaos, it is still under control!"
*******
In November of the first year of Jian'an, the war outside the border that had been entangled for three months was finally over, and as He Qi continued to mobilize the beggars, it was finally over!
This battle can be said to be completed independently by the beggar army.
He Qi and Jiajie joined forces to defeat Queju Xianbei and other troops, killing more than 30,000 enemies, and capturing more than 100,000 Xianbei people. According to the rules of the Qihuo Army, these prisoners should be included in the Qihuo Army, but this time...
He Qi once again raised the butcher's knife and killed 130,000 Xianbei prisoners.
Thirteen thousand bloody heads stacked thirteen Jingguans outside the border, and blood stained most of the grassland red.
Congratulations to the King of Hell!
This is He Qi's nickname now, and like Dong Sha Shen back then, it has become a nightmare for the Xianbei people.
However, although the Qihuo Army won a great victory, it also suffered heavy losses. It stationed its troops outside the border and was no longer able to capture Danhan Mountain.
In a sense, this war is not over yet. Or, it is just the beginning...
But even so, the Qihuo army stationed troops outside the Frontier still posed a huge threat to Bingzhou and Youzhou.
The goose feathers were snowing heavily, and they were scattering.
The Chang'an Baba was already covered with silver.
The snow this year is very heavy and has caused considerable disasters in some areas. Especially with the constant wars in Guanzhong, and with the influx of refugees, there was a shortage of food in Qinchuan in the past, and there were riots.
On November 11, Yangcheng, Fanxukou, back to the city and Longxian, and riots occurred!
These places were the weakest parts of the Han'an army. Chen Dao had no choice but to lead the White Army to fight to quell the rebellion.
The Fu'an Gate located southeast of Chang'an City has been repaired.
According to the explanation of "Shuowen", it is a container that carries food. Coated means that it is not valued and understood.
In fact, the twelve gates in Chang'an are really nothing.
If you make a metaphor, Chang'an City is a large mansion, then there are four Grand Etiquette Gates. The rest of the city gates, the corner gate and the Covering Gate are even more so. Compared with the Anmen gate of the main gate of the south city, it is really an insignificant existence.
But now, a big man lives inside the door.
If the Chang'an Order Zang Hong only talks about his official positions, this is not a prominent official position. Now Chang'an is the capital set by the King of the Western Han Dynasty, and it is also the location of Dong Qi's founding mansion. There are many officials in Chang'an City as big as a cow.
But Zang Hong is different.
He was the emcee of the Guandong princes when they first joined forces to fight against Dong, and was also a famous scholar in the world.
Dong Qi once praised him as a "strong man of integrity". Although he captured him, he did not kill him, but was exiled to the Western Regions.
At the same time, he gave Zang Hong a question: How to let scholars and warriors live in peace?
In a blink of an eye, it has been almost ten years...
Zang Hong never thought that one day he would come out of the Western Regions. Although he wasn't going home, he still felt friendly.
Dong Qi valued him, Lu Zhi valued him, Cai Yong valued him, and Yang Xu valued him!
Not only that, many people, including the King of the Western Han Dynasty, valued Zang Hong. So much so that when Dong Chu recommended Feiwo as the Chang'an Order, he did not pass it, but Zang Hong took office. This shows Zang Hong's reputation.
But Zang Hong knew very well that this damn Chang'an Order was not an easy role to play.
There are many factions in Chang'an City. There are also those who are loyal to Dong Qi and those who are loyal to the King of the Western Han Dynasty. Although there is no conflict between Dong Qi and Liu Bing, the struggle between the subordinates has never stopped since the day Liu Bing entered Chang'an... or even longer, as early as the Western Regions, the struggle between the two sides has not stopped.
However, during the Western Regions, Liu Bian, the King of the Western Han Dynasty, was not very powerful.
To be continued...
