Chapter 974 Test
On the third day of September, Shi Le and others gathered together more than 3,000 old, weak, women and children, left Bashang and headed eastward.
The ones escorting them were the Tuge Huns soldiers under the tent of General Lu Songduo of Huangshi Town.
More than a hundred relatives who were captured with Shi Le shouted repeatedly, trying to build relationships and let them go, but no one answered, only Lao Quan responded.
Everyone gave up.
There were people running away intermittently on the road because the guards were not necessarily very tight.
Unfortunately, Shi Le's group had too big a goal and were the most closely watched, so they never had a chance.
He is dead.
While Shi Le and others continued on their way, Zhang Jun, the actual master of Liangzhou, arrived at Gaochang with more than 10,000 troops. Within a few days, he defeated the rebel general and Wuji Colonel Zhao Zhen, led him, and Settled in Gaochang County.
This battle was far away, and he didn’t want to come.
But in this situation, he urgently needed to establish his authority, and the weaker Zhao Zhen was obviously a very easy target, so he led his army to the west and finally won a great victory.
However, he could not stay here for long. On the tenth day of September, he led the victorious troops to form a military force.
Before leaving, I took one last look at Gaochang City.
Living in this place is actually not very easy, for no other reason than it is too dry.
Growing food on their land relies on wells and canals (karez wells), melting water from ice and snow, and small amounts of rainfall.
At the current stage, it mainly relies on melting water from mountain ice and snow, and not enough wells and canals have been built. As for the rain, it's really too little.
The greatest value of this place is actually that it served as a resting place for merchants from the Western Regions.
However, for the Liangzhou regime, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. When there is no hope of going eastward, Gaochang County is not without some help. Moreover, if we can properly manage this place in the future, build more wells and canals, and increase the population, and then use this as a basis for the western expedition, we can further expand the territory of Liangzhou.
So, he left some soldiers and horses garrison from Dunhuang and Jinchang counties - Jinchang County was established in the two counties of Dunhuang and Jiuquan during Zhang Gui's time. Like Wuxing County, it was mainly used to house Yong Yong. Qin refugees.
While taking care of the place with his confidant Yang Xuan as the governor of Gaochang, he also waited for opportunities to invade the Western Regions.
The three battalions of Wuji School Lieutenant, Western Region Governor's Office, and Yumen Great Protectorate were also under Yang Xuan's jurisdiction and were deployed. Their actual powers exceeded the visible attention of the prefect.
"Your family is from a famous family, so you should imitate the sages and make contributions to the world." The soldiers brought the horse, Zhang Jun took the reins, and carefully warned: "I can't care too much about the west, you are so unlucky Business."
Yang Xuan felt excited. This is an opportunity to be on his own. Who wouldn't be happy? However, he still had to show concern for his lord, so he asked: "Ming Gong is worried about the court?"
Hearing this, Zhang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "The court? Which court!"< br>
Yang Xuan blinked his eyes and asked tentatively: "Who do you want to respect, Duke Ming?"
Zhang Jun looked at him and asked: "What do you think?"
Yang Xuan immediately said: "I will only look at you with the head of Ming Gong. Whether it is Jin or Liang, I will serve whoever Ming Gong serves." "
Zhang Jun felt relieved and asked: "What will happen if I respect King Jianye Langya?"
"Follow Duke Ming voluntarily," Yang Xuan said without hesitation. .
"The Hongnong Yang family may have descendants who are officials in Guandong, either serving as ministers or county guards..." Zhang Jun said.
"Why don't you believe me, Ming Gong?" Yang Xuan clapped his chest and said, "My family has been living in Liangzhou for several generations, and I have never met them."
"Haha, there is no need for this." Zhang Jun said with a smile: "If I don't believe you, how can I pay for it with Gao Chang? "
After saying that, he sighed: "It's just that there are fewer and fewer loyal and brave people like you in Liangzhou."
When Yang Xuan heard this, he knew it. He was talking about Bei Gongchun, Fan Hao and Wei Jin.
Beigong Chun did not return to Liangzhou and was forced to stay by Liang Wang Shao Xun.
This trick is not new. Back then, Cao Cao liked to force the princes to come to Beijing as envoys and assign them official positions. What's more, Bei Gongchun and Liang Wang are old acquaintances, so it makes sense to keep him. In the absence of a formal separation between the two parties, Liangzhou could not even force his family members to stay.
Fan Yi and Wei Jin were not left behind, but after they came back, although they were more cautious and kept silent about the affairs in Luoyang, they still had many entourages, and slowly the news began to spread. It leaked out.
Someone asked in person whether King Liang treated the two of them with special courtesy? Fan Yi and Wei Jin did not deny it.
As a result, the rumors became more widespread, and counties near and far discussed the matter. After all, the fact that the prince roasted meat and the king of Liang drank wine was so surprising and legendary.
Some people were very proud when mentioning this matter, saying that King Liang really admired their Xizhou scholars and treated them with all kinds of courtesy, which was a beautiful story. With such a broad mind and such an understanding of people, he is worthy of being a wise master. No wonder he can do such great things.
After the imperial envoys arrived in Wuwei, within a few days, there was an endless stream of guests.
Then it only took half a day to compile a directory and list all the famous people in Liangzhou, and then selected Xianliang to go eastward with him and return to Luoyang.
Zhang Jun could not stop this kind of thing, because it included the descendants of the prominent Liangzhou clans such as Yin, Suo, Han, Ma, and Yan.
If you stop it forcefully, you may cause public outrage - this can also give you a side view of the internal situation in Liangzhou.
There was no suitable person in Yang Xuan's family, so he did not send his children eastward, but he knew with his toes that the cracks within Liangzhou were now deeper, and there was not much trust between them. Even less.
Zhang Jun quickly left under the watchful eyes of the remaining generals.
When he arrived at Dunhuang, he issued an order: increase the number of troops from Pouhan. The soldiers from Jinxing and Xiping counties and the first battalion of Pouhan's guard army were all returned to Xin Yan's command.
After the victory in the crusade against Zhao Zhen, he would ask the generals and assistants of the government to come together and ask him to be named the Mu of Liangzhou and send him to Luoyang as soon as possible.
There is no doubt that this is a test. Earlier, after the angel arrived in Wuwei, he first reprimanded Zhang Jun for not paying tribute, which made everyone in Liangzhou very nervous.
However, the official uniform and seal of the Liangzhou governor were soon issued. His words seemed to be comforting, and he did not say anything to death. It was not impossible for Liangzhou governor to be the governor.
Zhang Jun was a little confused. What did the court want?
When he was not forced to a dead end, he did not have the courage to directly raise troops to fight, so he could only test it cautiously.
******
News from all directions are coming in one after another.
At the end of September, the Liangzhou Memorial was sent all the way in a hurry, and it only took more than half a month.
When Shao Xun received the report, he was eating with Hua Nu.
After reading it, I only gave one instruction: "Don't reply yet."
This idiot will be dealt with after the founding of the country.
Pei Lingyan finished eating quickly, and then led his daughter Mianniang to drink tea soup and rinse her mouth.
Mian Niang was Shao Xun's seventh daughter. She was born in December of the fourth year of Shengui (320). She was only over six years old. She was quite naughty. She had been playing with Shao Xun for a long time and even said she wanted to "horse a horse". .
After asking, she found out that it was her eldest sister Fu Bao who told her, which immediately made Shao Xun's face darken.
After sending away the servants in the mansion, Shao Xun looked around and saw no one, so he lay down on the ground "in humiliation" and let his daughter have a hard time.
But he just enjoys it.
"Grandpa." After rinsing her mouth, Mianniang came over again.
Pei Lingyan placed a bowl of tea soup on the table.
Shao Xun finished the meal in two or three bites, picked up the tea bowl and rinsed his mouth, then sat on the bed and looked at the mother and daughter.
"What are you looking at?" Pei Lingyan asked while taking his daughter away and coaxing her, while looking at Shao Xun.
“This life is worth it.” Shao Xun said with emotion.
The woman he fell in love with when he was young was finally attracted by him, and she gave birth to four children (three sons and one daughter) for him. This shows that he loves her so much that he is not idle at all.
In the company, the woman always pays attention to his mood, comforts him, enlightens him, and makes him very relaxed.
He gives other women emotional value, but Pei Lingyan gives him emotional value, which is different.
He is a native dog, and he likes to hold his mistress to sleep, even if she is forty-seven years old and has faded, even if she does nothing.
"Time flies by. Twenty years have passed. What else is there to see?" After settling his daughter, Pei Lingyan sat next to him, touched Shao Xun's face with his hand, and said with a smile: "Four Shi Buzuo, you are also an old slave.”
Lao slave does not mean a slave, but is actually an intimate term between acquaintances and relatives.
For example, in the passage in "Shishuoxinyu", Wen Qiao was looking for a son-in-law for his aunt, and finally got the son-in-law himself. When his cousin saw it, he laughed: "I doubt he is an old slave, and it is as expected."
老公Nu means more of an "old guy".
“Yes, I am an old slave too.” Shao Xun said, “My children are all grown up, even Mian Niang is seven years old.”
“Grandpa, my daughter is eight years old. ." Mianniang corrected.
Shao Xun was stunned and said: "Then how old do you think your third brother is?"
"The third brother is sixteen years old." Mian Niang said: "He likes to read, play the piano, play the flute, and can also dance like a barbarian. It's beautiful..."
The little girl couldn't think of anything else for a while. Much more.
Pei Lingyan picked up his daughter and said, "Nianliu started learning Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Jie five years ago, and he has made some small gains. I went to Sangziyuan a while ago, and I saw that he brought In the luggage, there is also the Western Region Hu Shang’s letters.”
“That’s not Jie language.” Shao Xun said, “It’s probably Sogdian?” Country'?" Pei Lingyan asked.
"Well, this is the country." Shao Xun nodded and said: "I am quite happy to read Liu Tong's article. You may be able to help me with Liangzhou affairs."
Here, Shao Xun was very happy and walked around the room.
Among so many sons, only Saburo wants to learn a foreign language. What are the others doing?
"How about the Liangzhou strategy mentioned by Nian Liu earlier?" Seeing that Shao Xun was in a good mood, Pei Lingyan asked.
"It's quite impressive." Shao Xun said: "To be able to do this at the age of sixteen is beyond my expectation. This is my Qilin son, and he has a strategy in his heart."
Pei Lingyan was also very happy after hearing this, but soon sighed: "It's a pity that my temper is a little softer. I am too attached to my parents and siblings, and I don't have enough killing energy."
Hearing this, Shao Xun's footsteps Pause slightly.
Pei Lingyan withdrew his gaze and gently touched his daughter's face. Mianniang was a little itchy and jumped down with a giggle. Then she stretched out her hand and said, "Grandpa, hug me."
Shao Xun subconsciously stretched out his hand, picked up his daughter, and looked at her lovely face, lost in thought.
"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, I was the first to operate in Liangzhou." After a moment, he said: "By then Nian Liu will also be in Sangziyuan for a year - well, let's see then."
