Royal road

"Nie Xuan lost?!" Hearing the news, Sima Teng was furious!

This was the first battle he sent troops to conquer the Huns, and he was defeated like this, a big defeat!How could he not be surprised and angry!You must know that Lucheng reported a victory a few days ago, and the five thousand elite riders were not all driven back.How come Nie Xuan is defeated?

The reporter hurriedly said: "The Huns are cunning and besieged General Nie's camp on three sides. They were defeated only when they were defeated. General Nie has gathered the remnants of the army and is ready to defend Yangyi..."

What's the use of keeping Yangyi? !His purpose is to attack the central part of the Xiongnu and keep Jinyang stable. What's the use of a mere Yangyi? !That's right, the soldiers and horses sent to Lucheng before must have been a trick played by the Huns!Originally, Liu Yuan would not send any elite soldiers to rescue the King of Chengdu, but Liang Feng took advantage of it by putting on a show.However, he mistakenly believed that the Huns were weak, so he believed Nie Xuan's self-promotion and was defeated!

Hateful little Hugou slave!

Sima Teng turned his head and shouted at the staff beside him: "Do you have a good plan?!"

Hearing Nie Xuan's defeat, the general's officials were also extremely shocked. Master Gao thought for a moment, and finally said: "The general may borrow troops from Xianbei. Daijun Suotou has always obeyed the imperial court. As long as he borrows thousands of troops, he will be able to overcome Huns!"

At this time, Tuoba Xianbei had a good relationship with Jin, and the so-called Suotou mentioned by Master Gao was the central branch of Tuoba Xianbei, which lived in the north of Canhepo, Daijun.The leader of this tribe, Tuoba Yiyi, is quite talented. He traveled across Mobei for several years, conquered more than [-] countries, and made Suotou stronger.It shouldn't be difficult for the Fan family who are so close to Jin to borrow troops from him.

Hearing Master Gao's words, Sima Teng nodded immediately: "Send someone to ask for the head to borrow troops! We must let the group of dogs see how powerful they are!"

Before Wang Jun borrowed troops from Duan's Xianbei, he defeated the tens of thousands of troops of the King of Chengdu.If he could borrow Tuoba Xianbei's troops, he would surely defeat that old man Liu Yuan.Compared with his own safety, the matter of hating the Hulu is not so important.

After thinking for a while, Sima Teng said again: "Shangdang is considered stable now, let Linghu Kuang lead the troops back to Jinyang. He was promoted to Wu Ling to take his place and guard Huguan and the nearby Xingdao."

This transfer was somewhat risky, but now that Nie Xuan has just been defeated, he really lacks men.Linghu Kuang was born in a noble family in Bingzhou, and his uncle Linghu Sheng was also a veteran in the army, so why not take this opportunity to promote Linghu's lineage.As for Shangdang, as long as Lucheng and Huguan can be defended, they will be safe and sound.Although Sima Teng didn't like Liang Zixi, he was indeed the kind of real celebrity who kept his promise.As long as he is there, Shangdang will be safe and sound.

Quickly making a decision, the two teams of messengers left Jinyang, and each took orders to go.

"General Linghu wants to go north to Jinyang and be replaced by General Wu?" Liang Feng asked in surprise, looking at the young man in front of him.

"Dongying has a public order, and the last general is afraid that he will leave tomorrow. General Wu has also received a military order, and he will be able to arrive at Huguan in a few days." After receiving the news from Jinyang, Linghu Kuang immediately rushed to Lucheng , Explain the situation to Liang Feng.One is that the friendship between the two is really good, and the other is the issue of Yiyan's ownership, which is still troublesome.

Currently Yiyan is his subordinate in name, and he has been allocated a thousand soldiers, so this matter must be dealt with properly.

How could Liang Feng fail to understand the meaning of his words, but how could he give up those qualified soldiers who had worked so hard and had just suppressed bandits and seen blood?Not to mention Yiyan!

With a slight smile, Liang Feng said: "Now that General Nie is newly defeated, Duke Dongying may rely heavily on General Linghu. It is a good thing to go to Jinyang. However, a few days ago, Nie County just had a bandit trouble, and they intended to collude with the fake Han. We need to clean it up, so we lost some soldiers..."

Wen Xian knew the meaning, and Linghu Kuang immediately understood that the other party didn't want to return his soldiers and horses, but wanted to exchange them with military merits.In the battle of Nie County, it seems that nearly a thousand bandits were suppressed?Thinking for a moment, Linghu Kuang nodded and said: "Shangdang is really not stable, and I will write a letter to Dong Yinggong at the end. I am afraid that I will have to keep another 1000 people to guard Huguan. I just don't know if General Wu is there or not." enough?"

With such additions and subtractions, 1000 people will stay in Huguan.It's just that this soldier is in the hands of the Fujun, and he still doesn't know whether Wu Ling is willing to replace him.

"General Linghu can rest assured. General Wu has always been close to me, so he should be able to guard Huguan. If there is a shortage of soldiers, he can also recruit from the refugees." Liang Feng immediately agreed.

Liang Feng was quite sure about this.Wu Ling and him can be regarded as old friends, and they enjoyed sharing the spoils together, such a trivial matter is nothing to worry about.What's more, when encountering a war, he is most afraid of commanding from both ends. Linghu Kuang is not very comfortable with him, but Wu Ling doesn't have such worries.

Hearing that Liang Feng was so generous, Linghu Kuang also heaved a sigh of relief: "This is the best."

After finalizing the personnel arrangement, Liang Feng finally felt relieved: "I'm going to Jinyang, the general is afraid that he will fight fiercely with the Xiongnu. You should be careful."

Linghu Kuang was well-informed, he had heard about the borrowing of troops a long time ago, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this mansion. Duke Dongying has sent an envoy to Dai Commandery, and he should be able to borrow troops from the Tuoba tribe. Xianbei iron cavalry The best in the world, even if the Xiongnu see it, they should retreat!"

■

After seeing off Linghu Kuang, Liang Feng sighed in a low voice.Even if he is not familiar with this period of history, he knows that the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty was named Tuoba.Although I can't remember when the Northern Wei Dynasty was established, these barbarians will eventually cause chaos in the north for three hundred years.Does Sima Teng's use of Tuoba Xianbei today also lay the foundation for the prosperity of Tuoba lineage tomorrow?

However, long-term worries are not worth near-term worries.Whether it is Sima Teng, the governor of Bingzhou, or him, the governor of Shangdang County, the Xiongnu is a threat that is close at hand.I only hope that this borrowed strong army can stabilize the situation in Bingzhou a little bit.

After thinking for a moment, Liang Feng said: "Please come over here."

Not long after, Yiyan strode into the study: "My lord, can you call me for something?"

"General Linghu is leaving Shangdang." Liang Feng said straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Yiyan clenched his fists.He is the school lieutenant under the name of Linghu Kuang, what should he do with the 1000 troops? !

Liang Feng smiled and waved his hands: "Boyuan doesn't need to worry, I have already discussed with General Linghu, leaving a thousand people to garrison Huguan to assist the successor General Wu to guard Shangdang. And next year we will expand the army to increase the number of defenders .”

Hearing what the lord said, Yiyan immediately understood that it was the lord who specially made a deal for him.The successor who replaced Linghu Kuang turned out to be Wu Ling, which was easier to manipulate than the original Linghu family.The tense heart relaxed, and then, another touch of emotion surfaced.The lord will always choose the best path for him and keep him by his side.

Lowering his head, Yiyan said in a low voice, "But it's up to the lord to arrange."

Unaware of his thoughts at this moment, Liang Feng continued: "I am afraid that the Xiongnu will concentrate on fighting Dong Yinggong this winter. With the help of Xianbei, Jinyang may not be defeated. In this way, some time will be freed up for Shangdang .Train the refugees as soon as possible and enrich the series. When General Wu arrives, you will go to Huguan together. Not only Huguan, but also the remaining roads, you must take care of it.”

In addition to the military, there are people's livelihoods.Now he is not as naive as before. When he can grab the time, he will grab it and grab it.Do everything possible to keep this small county.After you have the ability to protect yourself, you will have the energy to do other things.

Time is waiting for me.

In the bamboo forest, there was a rustling sound.A figure shrank down and squatted down, trying to hide himself more tightly.However, what he was wearing was not clothes for play, but a full set of imperial crowns.Dressed like this, no matter how familiar the royal garden is, it is impossible to escape the eyes of the inspectors.

Soon, noisy footsteps came from far and near, and some soldiers saw the emperor hiding in the bamboo forest, and shouted loudly.Regardless of the emperor's begging gesture of holding on to the bamboo branch, they dragged the Ninth Five-Year Lord out of the bamboo forest and sent him in front of their coach.

Before even getting off the horse, Zhang Fang waved his whip impatiently: "Your Majesty, the world is chaotic, and there are many barbarians and bandits rebelling. There are few people in the palace. Please also invite your Majesty to accompany the ministers to the barracks and provide comprehensive protection."

His tone was very bad, even the idiot-faced middle-aged man in front of him could sense something was wrong, so he couldn't help crying and shouting.

But in the palace, how can there be guards?After Zhang Fang entered Luoyang, he had stopped for three months.In the past three months, not to mention the property in Luoyang City, even the tomb of Empress Jia's daughter Ai Xian was dug up and down.In the face of this group of ferocious soldiers and bandits, who would dare to stand up and protect the dignity of the emperor?

The Zhongshu Supervisor Lu Zhi who was standing by the side finally couldn't help but persuaded: "Your Majesty, you should listen to the general on the right. The minister is useless, but the minister will do his best to protect the majesty and stay close to him."

As the only understanding person present, how could Lu Zhi not know what Zhang Fang was thinking.Previously, King Fan Yang, governor of Yuzhou, and King Dongping, governor of Xuzhou, jointly signed a letter requesting Zhang Fang to evacuate Luoyang and hand over to His Majesty.But how could King Hejian, who finally got the treasure, give up and resolutely refused to let Zhang Fang withdraw his troops.So a few people started to fight and couldn't stand each other.Coupled with the fact that the two younger brothers of the King of the East China Sea, Duke Pingchang and King Gaomi, were fanning the flames, the situation was extremely complicated.

But the Guanzhong soldiers led by Zhang Fang couldn't bear it anymore.Even if Luoyang can let them plunder, what should be robbed has already been robbed. Now that the weather is getting colder, who is still patient to stay behind in this lonely city?Everyone clamored and wanted to return to Chang'an.In such a situation, Zhang Fang's first consideration was the morale of the army. Since his lord Shanghejian King cared most about His Majesty in Luoyang City, wouldn't it be appropriate to let His Majesty move the capital to Chang'an?

So this group of big soldiers just broke into the palace and hijacked the emperor.Faced with such a cruel and unbearable man, is there any better way?Lu Zhi couldn't figure it out.Only temporarily obey this person's order and go to Chang'an.

With Lu Zhi by his side who kept persuading him, the emperor's crying gradually stopped, and he asked with a choked voice, "Can I take the palace maid's treasure with me?"

Zhang Fang laughed in surprise: "If there is an imperial decree from His Majesty, I should obey it."

Seeing the relieved expression of the emperor and the greedy smile of the man on horseback, Lu Zhi couldn't help closing his eyes.But at this moment, what can stop it?

On that day, the emperor followed Zhang Fang to live in the barracks.There was no Lu book accompanying him, only twelve little Huangmen and Lu Zhi alone.But Zhang Fang took the imperial decree, led his troops into the palace, seized power, looted, and robbed the palace.Even the curtains and tassels in the palace were cut off to pad the saddle.

If Lu Zhi hadn't tried his best to persuade Zhang Fangmo to learn from Dong Zhuo, he might have burned down the imperial palace and imperial temple.But what if it doesn't burn?The savings of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, 400 million brocades and silks, and more than a hundred dendrobiums of jewelry, gold and silver, were wiped out in one sweep!

Three days later, Zhang Fang left Luoyang, the royal capital, and returned to Chang'an with his bulging luggage, crying maids, the emperor, the king of Chengdu, and the king of Yuzhang.
