Chapter 2 Yan Zhao Fengyun Section 67
Li Hong was seriously injured, and Yu Shi was fully entrusted to deal with the matters of the army. Now, Yu Shi is only familiar with military and political affairs. Other subordinates either had too low status in the past or were from horse thieves, and were all outsiders. Yu Shi was so busy that he didn't even have time to sleep.
On the third day, the troops returned to the outside of Ning County to station.
Li Hong's troops lost two whole songs in the Battle of Hengling, leaving more than 3,000 troops. The soldiers of the Wuye Tribe and Bailu Tribe suffered fewer losses, and together they were only more than 300 casualties. More than 3,400 prisoners of the Wuwan people were detained in the camp, waiting to be dealt with.
On the fourth day, the jade brought some of the seized spoils and went to Guangning to meet the Huwuwan school captain Ji Chou.
Ji Chu was seriously injured and was about to return to Juyang to recover from his injuries. He was frowning and very depressed. It was not because of his injuries, but because his cavalry troops were completely wiped out in Baihua Valley. After this matter was reported to the court, he might be dismissed from office and investigated, and he would be sentenced to prison if he was seriously worried and wanted to send people to Kyoto to bribe powerful ministers and excuse himself for his crimes, jade came.
Hearing the detailed report of Jade, Ji Chou immediately went all out of his worries and cheered excitedly. Titu was destroyed and the Wuwan people were annihilated. He made such great contributions, but he was afraid that nothing could be solved. He was the captain of Huwuwan in Youzhou, and Li Hong fought in his own jurisdiction again, and he had made contributions no matter what.
Sure enough, the words Yushi said later made him so happy that he could not jump out of the hospital bed to congratulate him.
Yushi said that the battle was won, but they all won under the unified command of Lord Ji. In particular, Lord Ji personally led his troops to lure the enemy in Baihua Valley, and almost died in Baihua Valley, making great contributions. It was because Lord Ji dragged the main force of Titu in Baihua Valley that Li Hong's troops were able to take the opportunity to attack Hengling at night and block Titu's way back. Then, under Lord Ji's command, our Han army wiped out the 8,000 Titu's army in Hengling, and killed Titu and many of his subordinates. Lord Ji had outstanding military achievements. After saying that, he immediately took out the long-written warfare report document and presented it to Ji Chu for review.
Ji Chu was so happy that he forgot the pain on his body. He didn't expect that the leopard Li Hong was so well-behaved and clever. He gave him such great military achievements with his hands and also sent him a lot of spoils.
A young officer could do this with a bright future. After Ji Chou was happy, he thought silently, "What do he want to get from me when he spared no effort and generously helped him?" Li Hong is already a Sima of the Lu Long's border army. It is not enough to be promoted to the position by relying solely on military merits. Does he hope he can help in this matter?"
Then he thought of the defense issues in the northern border. His main cavalry had been wiped out, and the remaining 3,000 infantry were Juyong and Juyang's county and state soldiers. They were about to return to their respective garrisons. He was seriously injured and was about to return to Juyang for treatment. There was no chief general on the border and no army. The defense of several counties on the border was useless. If he wanted to restore the border counties to the past, the Huwuwan Camp's Captain's Governor must have heavy troops in charge. Now Li Hong was injured and could not march. The troops had just experienced a war and had to rest. It would be better to let them temporarily station in Guangning. Li Hong temporarily acted as the power of the Huwuwan Camp's Captain's Power. Isn't it a killing two birds with one stone?
He told Yushi about his thoughts, hoping that he could agree on Li Hong. As for Liu Zheng, the prefect of Youbeiping County, he would send someone to explain the whole story. Yushi agreed immediately. Ji Chu had no selfish intentions, and it was purely for realistic considerations. The residents of the county towns on the border fled their homes. If there were no heavy troops to garrison, who would dare to come back? No one would come back. How could several counties on the border restore normal production and living order?
Yu Shi then mentioned the problem of the handling of the prisoners of Wuwara. Ji Chou smiled and said, "After I leave, all the matters of Huwara's Captain's Mansion will be handled by other departments. Let him handle this matter by himself. In addition, when I go back, I will tell the people that I will receive his feelings and I will be rewarded in the future. I will thank him for my own thanks for me."
Ji Chu was very sad and happy, and was in a very happy mood.
On the third day, he returned to Juyang with a large amount of money and 3,000 infantrymen to recover from his injuries. When he arrived at Juyang, he personally wrote a memorial to order the Kuaiqi to send it to Luoyang, Kyoto. After receiving Jichou's documents, he wrote a letter to the good news.
After receiving the news that the war in Youzhou had been completely pacified, the court was very happy. The attitude of all forces on this matter was unusually unified, and they believed that they should be rewarded heavily.
Although the incident of the collusion between Murong Feng and the Han officials of Youzhou in the Xianbei Kingdom was circulating for a while in Luoyang, because the Xianbei Kingdom had been defeated and withdrawn from the grassland, the governor of Youzhou Liu Yu and the prefect of Shanggu Liu Fan resigned from office respectively. This rumor has no substantial significance and then disappeared.
In the court, after arguing with the new candidate for Youzhou Governor and the candidate for Shanggu County, each decided. At this time, General He Jin requested a report and promoted Li Hong, a member of the Lulong Pass border army, to the commander of Shanggu County. Ji Chou was a member of the general He Jin. He emphasized Li Hong in his letter to He Jin, believing that although this son was a low-class man, he had high martial arts skills and outstanding strategies, he could be of great use. Although he had been promoted to the post of Sima of another department in about a year due to his military merits, he made great contributions in the battle to eliminate the Wuwan rebellion and should be promoted to the commander of his merits. He Jin wanted to win over Li Hong, and in his eyes, a commander of a border county was not as good as a minister in his own palace, and it was not impossible to do it in a smooth and favorable manner.
Unexpectedly, they were opposed by many people, and they all quarreled together, but they were just low-born, not famous gentry, but half a barbarian, etc., and they completely forgot about their military achievements. The ministers opposed fiercely, and the eunuch Zhang Rang, who stood beside the emperor, was unhappy. Isn’t I also a low-born? Do you guys scold me or the slave who escaped from the Xianbei tribe? He muttered in the emperor's ear. He had a status in the court and was a minister who was a relative of the Han family.
, He had a good relationship with Liu Yu and Liu Fan, and he also knew that the two had jointly recommended each other last time, so he took this opportunity to go out to work and report in detail Liu Yu, Liu Fan's recommendation, and Li Hong's military achievements. The emperor was surprised. Why didn't I hear that? There are such heroes in the northern border of the Han Dynasty? He Jin hurriedly left the line and added fuel to the fire. The opposing ministers got angry and carried out the laws of the Han Dynasty and the rules of the ancestors. The recommended relatives were not outdone, and listed the old calendars of the previous dynasty and the heroes of the previous dynasty. Everyone was having a lot of fun.
Li Hong was already discussing with the representative sent by King Hei Ling to redeem the prisoners.
Liu Zheng, the prefect of Youbeiping County, knew that Li Hong had won the battle again, was very happy and sent someone to send some food, which was called rewarding the soldiers. As for when Li Hong's troops would return to Lulongsai, Liu Zheng asked him to obey the orders of the Huwuwan lieutenant Ji Chou. As long as the border of Shanggu County was safe, he could return to Lulongsai at any time.
The prefect of Shanggu County has not yet taken office. Dou Hong, the facial features officer who has temporarily exercised his power, once again sent someone to congratulate him. This time, he simply had nothing, and opened his mouth and said a few words before leaving.
Gongcao from Youzhou Governor's Office came to congratulate him on behalf of Youzhou Governor's Office, but he was empty-handed.
Li Hong could barely stand and walk. I heard that Xian Yufu was coming and he must go out of the camp gate to greet him.
The Arc Ding could not resist him, so he had to carry him out of the gate. Xian Yu Fu saw it from a distance and was very moved and quickly got off his horse and walked over quickly.
"Brother Yuxing..." Li Hong shouted loudly.
"Zimin..." Xian Yufu grabbed Li Hong's hand and said excitedly: "I heard you were injured, how about you? Are you okay?"
"Okay, it's almost done." Li Hong said with a smile.
"This is Qichen, this is Arc Ding. They are all warriors of the Xianbei tribe and the head of our personal guards." Li Hong pointed to them and introduced to Xianyufu. The two hurriedly greeted Xianyufu.
"This is Lord Xianyu, my good friend."
After a few greetings, the two of them immediately prepared to enter the camp.
When Xian Yufu saw Qi Chen about to carry Li Hong on his back, he hurriedly stopped him and said to Li Hong with a smile: "I will carry you."
Hu Ding and Qi Chen looked at Xian Yufu in surprise.
Li Hong smiled and lay on Xian Yufu's back, and slowly walked into the camp with Xian Yufu's back.
"The two Lord Liu abandoned his official position and left a mess in Youzhou, causing trouble for Lord Wei and Lord Dou. Lord Dou sent someone to me two days ago, saying, "You have seized Titu's spoils, why don't you hand over it in count? There is no way, so you have to take hundreds of cars for him."
Xian Yufu smiled: "I'm here to ask you, the rich Leopard Army, who wants money and goods. Now the treasury in Youzhou is not just scarce, but has nothing. After the war, there were too many places in Youzhou that needed to spend money, and you had to pay the spoils."
"I know. Tuoba Feng..." Li Hong lowered his voice and was about to say the huge deal, but Xian Yufu immediately interrupted him.
"Mr. I am seriously ill and have returned to my hometown in Qingzhou. The malicious news from Murong Feng suddenly lost its effect because of his departure. This matter is just a rumor. My Lord hopes that you can form a cavalry that is invincible in the world, guard the border, and defend our great Han territory from then on."
Li Hong sighed, "Mr. Liu is so bold." He suddenly remembered what Li Song once said to him. He really didn't understand which one was the real Liu Yu?
"I have a way to form cavalry, but there is no system. Youzhou Governor's Office or county government must establish it for me."
"If you have the system, you will have to give you military pay and military supplies. Where can I get this expense now?"
"You build the system for me, and I will handle the other things myself. Whether it is back to Lulongsai or stay in Shanggu, I just need to have the system. However, I am only responsible for forming them. As for where this cavalry will go in the future, the Youzhou Governor's Headquarters must give an explanation. If it continues to exist, the expenses will be very amazing."
"Let's talk about it in the future. Now Youzhou must have such an army to intimidate the Hu people and gain time to restore the vitality of Youzhou. If the Hu people are allowed to break the border like this endlessly every year, will the people of Youzhou still survive? I will talk to Lord Dou and Captain Ji about the addition of the establishment. If it doesn't work, let's wait for the newly appointed governor to come."
"However." Xian Yufu continued to smile and said, "The border counties have unique conditions. There are grasslands to feed horses and grazing. However, it is difficult to save equipment and military pay. You can imitate the Hu people's methods to save as much as possible. For example, light cavalry can not wear armor, and not to be too extravagant to use armor. The troops are equipped with spears, long halberds, and fewer long swords and swords. This is also a way to save."
Li Hong shouted on his back: "If you save this, forget about the infantry."
Xian Yufu laughed: "Okay, let it be as you as you. You can first form the troops and station them on the border so that the Hu people from abroad dare not move. First, pass this year's harvest season so that the people of Youzhou can have a full stomach. Also, you are famous now and have outstanding military achievements. You cannot make any decisions on some things and give people a handle."
Li Hong laughed and didn't take it to heart.
Tian Chong and Yan Wuwei heard that Xian Yufu was coming, so they hurried to the big tent. Several people once participated in the night attack of Bailing Ranch together. They had deep comrades and gathered together to talk about the past, which was very lively.
The annihilation of Titu's entire army made Nanlou feel uneasy. Although he annexed hundreds of tribes on Baijiu Mountain and basically eliminated Titu's power, he was not happy at all. The leopard Li Hong's power made him restless. He didn't know that after the Tengjie was taken by Li Hong, it would reveal the secrets between them. Once the agreement between them was leaked, it would be a very embarrassing thing for him. If Li Hong was as greedy as Ji Chu or as cruel as Gongsun Zan, he and his tribe would be in trouble.
Li Hong has never contacted him actively. Lu Pofeng from the Bailu tribe sent people to run twice, and he vaguely blamed King Hei Ling for deceiving him. Nanlou did not know what to do, and hoped that Li Hong would lead his troops back to Lu Longsai in Youbeiping for a while, so he could discuss with Jichou about redeeming the prisoners.
As a result, he miscalculated again. Jichou's troops were exhausted in Baihua Valley, and the border war was a little rested and unstable. He happened to be seriously injured again, so he found an excuse to go back to Juyang to recover from his injuries and threw all the matters of the Huwuwan Captain's Mansion to Li Hong. Nanlou had no choice but to bite the bullet and send someone to Guangning. Li Hong was not as bad as he thought, and he never mentioned the matter of joining forces to deal with Titu. He just gave a suggestion and asked Nanlou to think about it before replying to him.
