Heroes of Northern History

It is said that He Liuhun lost Gao Cheng and was pointing the way to look for him outside the temple gate, when suddenly dozens of riders came up the mountain.Duan Rong was in the front, and someone was holding the little guy in the back, sitting on the horse's back, but he looked like Gao Cheng, and everyone got off the horse.Hastily entered the temple, Gao Cheng also came in, He Liuhun was very happy to see it.

He Liuhun hurriedly asked Duan Rong: "I don't know how Your Majesty can save my son?"

Duan Rong said: "Baling stationed troops in Wuchuan, Huaishuo, etc. Wuwei is not far away, so he defended at home and dared not go far. Yesterday I knew that the bandit general Han Lou led an army of [-] to fight Guangyang. I came from Wuyuan. I knew there would be war here, so I hurriedly brought [-] cavalrymen from my family to visit. When I went to the village this morning, I saw corpses everywhere and all the houses were destroyed. I can't predict the good or bad of the two families, so I asked carefully. Knowing that you are here, I found you here. On the way, I suddenly saw an old crow screaming at me. I shot it with an arrow, and the old crow flew into the cave with the arrow. I sent people down to search for it, and saw a child sleeping in the cave. Inside, take it out and see, it's your son.

Gao Huan was happy and asked Gao Cheng why he was lying in the cave.

Gao Cheng said: "At first the nurse carried me and ran away, but she couldn't catch up with the others. She fell behind and was rushed by the enemy. I fell into the water with the nurse. Suddenly I saw a Yaksha-like lift me up and put me in the cave. Before my eyes I only saw a crow flying above. Someone carried me out of the cave this morning, it was Uncle Duan, so I came here with him.”

He Liuhun hurriedly thanked Duan Rong.

When Lou Zhaojun saw the child, he was very grateful as if he had found a treasure.

Duan Rong comforted Lou Neigan and his wife again.That night, in the monastery of the same place.The next day, Wei Shizhen also came to visit, and said to Gao Huan: "I am glad that my family is safe, but my assets are gone. How will I make a living in the future?"

He Liuhun said: "Madam, you don't have to worry, you will always find a way."

"Lou Zhao said: "It doesn't matter.At this time, although the family business was abandoned, there were still villas in Pingcheng and other places.Pack up all the goats, sheep, donkeys and horses, move them to Pingcheng, and supervise and lead Zhuang Ding to cultivate again, and you can also spend the day. "

He Liuhun and his wife thought it was okay. "

Duan Rong said: "It's not a good way. Duan Rong studied astronomy since he was a child, and watched the sky at night. The rebellion in the north will not stop. There is still a disaster of war here, which will be quelled in ten years. It is not the time to establish a family and property. Besides, the chaos in Pingcheng is especially serious, so you should not live there."

"Lou Zhao said: "Then how do you think to solve it? "

"Wei Shizhen said: "A man should not cut off the offal for the court, but should also plan for himself to protect his parents and wives.It's better for the families to gather the Zhuang army and recruit the bravery of the village, and build a fortress in this Bodhi Temple to guard against the danger.I also come to live together.Gather food reserves in case of unexpected events.Waiting for the north to gradually calm down, it is not too late to start a family.

Duan Rong said: "This plan is wonderful. I think the morale of the Wuwei army is also very important, so we can't live in peace. We still have savings at home, so we can bring them along with the family and live together."

"He Liuhun and Lou Zhao are both very happy. The appointment has been made, and the two families moved here. On the one hand, they settled down in the family, and on the other hand, they rebuilt the Bodhi Temple into a powerful camp, repaired their military equipment, and erected flags. Those who took refuge in all directions carried food and family members. There are too many to count. Since then, the enemy soldiers have not dared to invade after hearing Liuhun's name. Lou Zhao still supervises the farm soldiers to cultivate crops to protect the stronghold. Now I will not show it.

Besides, the king of Guangyang raised his troops to conquer Ba Ling, and when he heard that the enemy had come from Wuyuan, he gathered all the generals to discuss and said: "Our soldiers are not weaker than the enemy's soldiers, but we don't have a brave general to fight with them, so we can't win. But now the army Who can act as a pioneer, and who recommends a person."

The generals said: "There are really no brave generals in the army. Recently I heard that He Bayun's younger brother, He Basheng, is under the command of Fei Mu, the governor of Yunzhou. If you can scare away Liuhan Baling, you will surely win the battle."

"King Guangyang agreed, so he wrote a letter to Fei Mu, asking Pohu to come to the army. Mu didn't dare to disobey, so he sent Pohu to see Guangyang.

Seeing his extraordinary appearance and incomparable hero, Guangyang named him a vanguard and awarded him [-] elite soldiers. He said to He Basheng: "General, go and kill thieves and make meritorious deeds. I will reward you with a thousand pieces of gold and ten thousand households."

He Basheng was very grateful and vowed to destroy the enemy, so he led the troops to go.After traveling less than 5000 miles, we met the Balingqian team, which had about [-] troops.

He Basheng reined in Magao and shouted: "Pohu is here, who dares to fight?" "

The thief will look at this broken beard, frightened to pieces, afraid to shrink back and dare not go forward.Pohu even drank a few times, but there was no answer.Rushing over directly, the thieves retreated back.Take advantage of the momentum to chase and kill until the Baling army, rein in the horse and fight.Baling was shocked when he heard that, and said to the general: "Today, breaking the Hu and taking advantage of the victory, who will fight the enemy?" "

"Kong Luan, Peacock's younger brother, and Ba Bing, Ba Ling's younger brother, walked past the tent, and said, "The two of us would like to fight together, and cut off Pohu's head."

Baling said: "Don't underestimate the enemy, be careful."

"The two agreed to fight on horseback, ran to the front of the formation, and confronted Pohu. After a few rounds of fighting, Pohu shot one by one, and they all died under his gun.

Baling fear.All the generals were afraid of the bravery of breaking the barbarians, so they dared not go out to fight.So they retreated for [-] miles and set up camp, and they became horns with Han Lou's army.King Guangyang knew that the vanguard had won, and he also led his army to Wuyuan Mountain.Wei Pohu challenged several times, but Baling just couldn't hold out.So the two armies were at a stalemate.

Unexpectedly, Baling's army was slightly defeated, but Mo Zhe Niansheng rebelled in Qinzhou, and his army was very powerful.One day, he ordered his younger brother Tiansheng to say: "Now, I have a large number of soldiers, and I will give you [-] troops to attack Qizhou. Once Qizhou is broken, I will lead my troops to attack Yongzhou and defeat Xiao Baoyin's army. I am behind Respond." I was born with orders to lead the troops away.

But Xiao Baoyin is said to be the son of Emperor Ming of the Southern Qi Dynasty.Emperor Wu of Liang usurped the throne and killed nine of his brothers.Xiao Baoyin escaped and surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Emperor Xiaowen was named the King of Qi at that time, married the Princess Nanyang, and gave him more favors.Now because Xiuyi suffered a stroke in Nandao Xingtai, he could not conquer, so Xiao Baoyin was appointed to lead the army instead of him, so as to conquer Mo Zhe Niansheng.In a few days, the Tiansheng army approached Qizhou, and the governor of Qizhou Pei Fen and the governor Yuanzhi closed the city and refused to defend.After being surrounded for a month, the city was destroyed and Pei Fen and Yuan Zhi were killed.So he took advantage of the momentum and marched into the border of Yongzhou.When Xiao Baoyin learned about it, he hurriedly raised his troops to meet him. Seeing that the thieves were so powerful, he was quite frightened.

Suddenly a spy came to report that there was an army of about [-] on the West Road, galloping under the banner of the official army.Ask someone, this is Cui Yanbo, the governor of Dongcha Prefecture. By the order of the emperor, he was appointed General Zhengxi and Governor of the West Road, and mobilized the people of the state to attack Tiansheng.

Cui Yanbo has always been brave, capable of defeating ten thousand people.Xiao Baoyin is very happy, please meet me.Go all the way to the horse cub.Mo Zhetian camped in the west of Heishui, and the morale of the army was very strong.Xiao Baoyin asked Cui Yanbo the strategy of defeating the enemy. Yanbo said: "Tomorrow morning, I will test the enemy's strength for you first, and then consider it." So he selected thousands of elite soldiers, crossed Heishui westward, reorganized the army formation and attacked the Tiansheng camp.

Xiao Baoyin was stationed in Shuidong, and he came to support him from afar.Cui Yanbo went straight to Tiansheng's camp and sprayed out his mouth, so he led his troops.Seeing that Cui Yanbo was a young man, Tiansheng opened the camp and led his people out.His people are several times that of Yanbo.When Xiao Baoyin saw it, he turned pale.Cui Yanbo personally went to the rear and did not fight with him. He made his troops cross first.The natural army retreated. "

Xiao Baoyin said happily: Cui Jun's courage is not as good as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. "

"Yanbo said: The enemy is not the old man's opponent. You just have to sit still and watch how the old man defeats them."

"The next day, Cui Yanbo led the army to leave, and Xiao Baoyin's army followed, and Tiansheng sent out to fight. Yanbo took the lead, fell into their vanguard, killed several generals, and the soldiers raced forward with vigor, defeated the army, and captured ten beheaded soldiers. More than [-] people. Tiansheng led the remnant soldiers to flee. The officers and soldiers pursued to Xiaolong, and the collection of weapons and food reserves was beyond calculation. The lands of Qi, Yong and Longdong were all restored. Only because Xiao Baoyin could not control it, the soldiers delayed the looting. Tiansheng escaped and rearranged the rest Xiao Baoyin and Yanbo defeated Mo Zhe Niansheng, thinking that the west of Yong and Qi was not worth worrying about, so they stopped their troops and did not advance.

One day, he received a letter from General Lu Zuqian of Jingzhou.Hu Chen occupied Gaoping because of the rebellion, and he called himself King Gaoping. He gathered [-] troops and [-] brave generals under him, disturbing You and Xia prefectures, and it was extremely rampant.Now they have dispatched generals Wan Qi Chou Nu and Su Le Ming Da to lead [-] troops to invade Jingzhou.Zu Qian couldn't resist, so he asked Xiao Baoyin and Cui Yanbo for help.

The two then led their troops to Anding, with 12 soldiers and [-] cavalry, and the army was greatly boosted.Chou Nu was stationed seven miles northwest of Anding, and challenged with light cavalry.Before the large armies fought, the enemy left.Yanbo relied on his courage and made great achievements. He thought that the enemy was afraid of him, so he wanted to pursue him immediately.First, another large shield was built in the army, and the inside was a lock post, so that the soldiers could carry it and walk.The luggage is in the middle, and the soldiers are outside.Moving forward in the northwest of Anding, I think it is a sure bet.Unexpectedly, the enemy was full of schemes. When the two armies met and were about to confront each other, suddenly there were hundreds of enemy cavalry with documents in their hands, pretending to present a surrender book, asking for a delay.

Xiao Baoyin and Cui Yanbo watched together. Sule Mingda led the army from the northeast, and Wanqi Chounu led the army from the southwest. The officers and soldiers were attacked by the enemy.Yan Bo slapped his horse hard, galloped after him, and went straight to his camp.But the thieves are all light cavalry, coming and going like flying, the officers and soldiers are mixed with infantry, tired after a long battle, the thieves took the opportunity to rush into Paicheng, and the situation was chaotic.Yanbo rushed left and right, and although he killed countless enemies, nearly [-] soldiers were killed and wounded, so he was defeated.

Seeing Cui Yanbo's retreat, Xiao Baoyin's army was frightened, so he withdrew his troops in a hurry and retreated to An'ing.Cui Yanbo was ashamed of his failure and wanted to fight WWII.Xiao Baoyin advised him to stay sharp and watch the situation in order to make progress.Yanbo felt that he was timid, so he repaired weapons and trained the army overnight, recruited brave men, and then marched westward from An'an, and set up camp seven miles away from the enemy camp.The next morning, without reporting to Xiao Baoyin, he went to attack the enemy army alone, smashed the enemy camp, the rebel army was invincible, and leveled several fences.Soon, the army took advantage of the victory to loot and deployed away from him.When the thief saw that the officers and soldiers were scattered, he beat him back.

The army of the Northern Wei Dynasty was defeated, and Yanbo died of a stray arrow.Xiao Baoyin went to rescue after learning about it, but it was too late.At that time, the big bandits were not calmed down, and another general was lost. People far and near were worried.However, after Xiao Baoyin died in the battle of Yanbo, tens of thousands of people died in the funeral, but the power of bandits became stronger. He was deeply afraid that the court would be blamed, and he was worried.

At that time, there was a man under his command, surnamed Zheng Mingyan, from Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province.Born rich and bright, with beautiful appearance, he joined the army to his father, Situ Hu Guozhen, who was the empress dowager in Beijing.Because she was able to enter the harem with Guozhen, the Queen Mother felt that he had an affair with him.The palace is strictly forbidden, and no one knows it.When Empress Dowager Hu was imprisoned, she could not enter.

When Xiao Baoyin marched west, Zheng Yan joined the army and was also appointed to join the army.It has been a year in Yongzhou.One day when the letter of amnesty arrived, I was very happy to know that the Queen Mother was coming to court again. I had no choice but to go to the capital.Now that Xiao Baoyin had a fearful expression on his face, he said: "The queen mother returned to power, and you haven't entered the table to congratulate her. I'm afraid the queen mother will be unhappy." "

Bao Yin was shocked and said: "What you said is correct. The army is in a hurry and there is no time to think about it. It is time to submit a congratulatory form, but who can go?"

Zheng Yan said: "If there must be no one, I am willing to go under orders. There is also a saying that since Duke Ming sent troops, although he has made great achievements in the past, he has failed in the end. I will publicize your achievements in front of the queen mother, cover up wrong crimes, and finally At that time, the imperial court will favor you even more, and at that time, you don't have to worry about being accused."

Xiao Baoyin was overjoyed and said, "With you like this, why should I worry about it?"

"So I prepared the congratulatory form and ordered Zheng Yan to be the congratulatory envoy. Zheng Yan bid farewell to Xiao Baoyin and rushed there overnight. He was very happy to think that the Queen Mother's old love was still alive and would be reused in the future. Later, he went to the capital and presented the source form to the Queen Mother. Seeing Zheng Yan's name, he summoned him when he was busy.

Zheng Yan came to the Golden Palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother.Empress Dowager Hu said: "I wanted to call you a long time ago, but I don't know where you are. Seeing you now is enough to comfort my heart. Zheng Yan lay on the ground crying and said: "I don't think I will ever see Your Majesty again in this life. I can see the holy face today, like seeing the sun through the clouds, I am very grateful to have today. "The Empress Dowager Hu said: "I am short of good assistants around me, and the Qing family has to stay instead of leaving. "Thank you Zheng Yan.

Empress Dowager Hu, who is lustful, affectionate, and long-lasting, sees her old love now, full of spring spirits, and can't accept it. She can't take care of the court's dignity, so she stays in the harem under the pretext of wanting to know the situation among the rebels.That night, Zheng Yan lived in the palace and reconnected with the Queen Mother.Everyone in the palace congratulated.

When he was promoted to the palace the next day, he worshiped Zheng Yan as an admonishing doctor, a member of Zhongshu Sheren, and also served as a taster of the imperial court.Stay in the forbidden room during the day and night, and don't let it out.He can only go home on vacation, and try to send eunuchs to follow him.

Seeing his wife talking about family affairs, Zheng Yan dared not speak a word in private.From then on, he favored all the officials, and a traitor at that time scrambled to be the first to attach himself.At that time, there was Xu He, a member of Zhongshushe, who was obedient and flattering, and devoted himself to serving the powerful.At first he served King Qinghe, and after King Qinghe died, he flattered Yuancha again.

Yuancha failed, and the queen mother called him to be the secretary because of Qinghe.He knew that Zheng Yan was favored in the palace, so he received him warmly and cautiously.Zheng Yan also served as the mastermind because of Xu He's skill and wisdom.He was both external and internal, and the power was inside and outside the court. People at that time called him "Xu Zhengyan".In less than a few months, the official went to Zhongshuling and General Cheqi.Xu He was also promoted to serve as the servant of Huangmen and Zhongshu Sheren, and to be the chief minister of Zhongshumen.

All the edicts of the military country came from him.He has always been literary, and he can work all day long without rest or fatigue.If you are in a hurry, let a few officials write, if you don't know it, teach it a little bit.Therefore, it is possible to please the powerful and gain power, but there is no great law for governing the country.Pretending to be respectful and cautious when meeting people, but in fact it is unpredictable.There is also Li Shengui, the son of Shangshu Li Chong, who has a beautiful look and is the official servant of the Huangmen.He was also favored by the Queen Mother in private, no less than Zheng Yan.There is also a yellow door for Yuan Fan, who is also trusted by the Queen Mother.

Xu He, Zheng Yan, Yuan, and Li supported each other and deceived the court.The six towns are in ruins, and there will be an urgent commendation from the frontier. Zheng Yan is worried about hurting the empress dowager's heart, so he hides and does not report.Some of the foreign ministers who came from the north were ordered to hide the war report and not to tell the truth.So the ministers contended that the enemy was weak and would soon be peaceful.The Empress Dowager enjoys sex every day, and doesn't care about Liuzhen.It is exactly: the imperial court has given up the mountains and rivers, regardless of the futility of other places.If you want to know what happened next, let's listen to the next chapter.
