Chapter 1004: Honored everywhere
On April 20, almost half a month after the war started, a large group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the more than 100-mile road from Hongchiling to the north via Cangsong County to Guzang.
There were Di Qiang, Xianbei, and Xiongnu people from the south of the Ling Dynasty, and there were also Di Qiang, Xianbei, and other miscellaneous people from the north of the Ling Dynasty. The two sides were going back and forth, fighting incessantly.
This is not surprising. After absorbing a large number of Yong and Qin refugees, the entire eleven counties of Liangzhou have already had a household registration exceeding one million. If the various tribes are carefully counted, it is not impossible that the population is close to 1.5 million.
Among the more than one million people, the Hu people accounted for the majority, and the number of Hu soldiers in Liangzhou's regular army reached about 60%. As for the unorganized army, the Hu people naturally accounted for the majority.
Liangzhou is actually a place under the banner of the Han family, but the Hu people are the main ethnic group. Fortunately, the Hu people are divided into multiple ethnic groups and are not unified, so they can barely maintain it.
They were either willing or forced to submit. In short, they obeyed the orders of both parties and fought against each other endlessly.
On the 21st, the battlefield spread to the Wuxing County area in the northwest of Guzang.
On the bank of the river, thousands of people suddenly rushed out of a lonely dock.
These thousand people were divided into two groups. One group was an infantry group of 500 people, led by Yin Han, the Lord of Wubao. They were stationed on the east bank of the river, guarding the only stone bridge more than ten miles north and south.
Another five hundred people, each with their own horses, rushed out behind a majestic man.
This person has a wide body, thick arms, amazing strength, and two bulging breast shields on her chest. She is clearly a woman, Guo Fugui, the Yin Han's "beloved wife" of the Lord of Wubao.
The Guo family is considered a wealthy family in Xiping and Wuwei counties.
During the Cao Wei Dynasty, the Xiping Guo family rebelled and failed. Guo Man's daughter Guo was banished to the palace as a slave. However, she soon gained the favor of Emperor Wei Ming and made her his queen. The Xiping Guo family rose to fame - there is a saying that this The way of rising is also strange enough.
Guo Fugui's family took advantage of this trend and moved to Wuwei to serve as officials. However, after his father's death, because his foundation was too shallow and his number of people was too small, he did not even have a son, so he had to recruit a son-in-law.
In a sense, Guo Fugui is the one who "married" her husband, and the old man in Wubao is also from her family. In addition, she looks really "rich", so she can speak better than her husband in the fort.
This will lead the troops to rush out, like a large chariot, running rampant and brave and difficult to defeat.
The people and horses who came from nowhere were knocked upside down and scattered all over the ground. After regrouping in the distance, they found that the fierce general with a particularly strong breast goggle had changed his horse and was about to charge over again. Suddenly Scalp numbness.
"Is there Yanzhi Changji Gong ahead?" Just when they were about to fight again, Yan Ding suddenly rushed over from the stone bridge and asked loudly.
Ji Yan, the leader of Yanzhi, was stunned and asked: "Who are you?"
"Tianshui Yan Ding." Yan Ding cupped his hands on his horse, then galloped dozens of steps closer and said, "Ji Gong is a scholar from the Central Plains, and many of his soldiers are from Yongqin clans. Why do you rebel?"
When Ji Yan heard this, his eyes widened and he asked: "I am going to the disaster for justice, why should I say anything against it?"
"What's the point of public service?" Yan Ding asked.
"Zhang Xiping's mission is to help people in danger and help those in need." Ji Yan replied.
Wuxing County was established in Yongjiazhong. At that time, Guanzhong was in chaos, people from all walks of life were fighting endlessly, and many people lived in Liangzhou.
Zhang Gui then set up counties for the resettlement of overseas Chinese, and Wuxing County was one of them. At first, it only governed Yanzhi and Xinzhang counties, but later it was gradually expanded to include Wuxing, Xiangwu, Dacheng and other counties, and eventually there were eight or nine counties.
Qiao County is not a normal county, and Qiao County is not a normal county either. For example, in the Later Han Dynasty, there was Zhang County, which belonged to Longxi County. After the refugees from that area came over, Zhang Gui concentrated them and resettled them and established a new Zhang County.
People from Xiangwu County, the county seat of Longxi County, rushed over and resettled them together, setting up Xiangwu County.
The Han and Qiang people from Lueyang County ran over and established Wuxing County because there was Wuxing City in Lueyang County.
All kinds of things.
How big are the eight or nine counties? In fact, they are only the area of Yongchang in later generations, that is, the size of a county.
The reason is that there were only a few thousand households of refugees in Wuxing County at first, and only a few hundred households in Yongqin might have escaped, so these hundreds of households lived together in one county.
After a while, hundreds of families fled from another county, and they were also concentrated and resettled. People from the same county lived together, and a separate county was established.
Ji Yan was a scholar from Guanzhong. He fled westward with his father more than ten years ago and took his tribe of children and servants with him. He picked up some refugees from Guanzhong on the way, so Zhang Gui set up Yanzhi County to resettle them and let them settle and support themselves.
Now his father has passed away and was buried in Wuxing. Ji Yan was appointed as the head of the Yan branch because of his good talent and learning.
He still thought about the benefits of Zhanggui, so he answered like this.
But Yan Ding replied: "This is a small righteousness, not a big righteousness."
"The emperor of Daliang swept away the northern land and tidied up the old mountains and rivers, so that the world would be at peace. Therefore, there was the Jin and Liang Zen dynasty, eradicating the old and establishing the new."
"Now the northern land is peaceful, but Liangzhou has not yet been conquered, so there are conscripts traveling far away, and the army is thinning the city. On this occasion, the public raises troops to fight, and it will definitely gain a good reputation. However, those who follow the king and live in Liangzhou, The rural home is not guaranteed, the parents, wives and children are If you are uneasy, what should you do? It is a small act of justice for you to repay Zhang Xiping, but it is a great act of justice to protect the safety of a county and township party. Zhang Xiping is aware of this and wants to persuade you to put down your weapons and stop making unnecessary resistance. "
After hearing this, Ji Yan's expression did not change, but the faces of the generals and sergeants who came with him became worried.
Ji Yan glanced at them and sighed silently.
"The Lord promised to face the difficulties again." Yan Ding got off his horse, stepped forward alone, and walked towards Ji Yan. As he walked, he said: "What is the difficulty in Liangzhou? It is because Zhang Jun does not know the weather and is stubbornly resisting. If he is not there, Liangzhou has no difficulties.”
"Besides Zhang Jun, all the Hu chieftains are ready to make a move and are watching with eager eyes. If all the mighty soldiers are wiped out, who will come to suppress the group of Hus again? The difficulty at that time will probably be even more worrying."
"I went to the wrong place -" Yan Ding had already walked up to Ji Yan, took his hand and said, "I went to the wrong place."
Ji Yan's eyes were confused and his lips trembled slightly. "Mr. Ji, the Emperor of Liang has great faith in the elders of Chong Liangzhou. After pacifying Liangzhou, we still have to rely on Gong Zhong and others, so don't worry." Yan Ding shook his lips and tongue, stared at Ji Yan, and said, "Xin Gongming is Hezhou The governor and the Qu family were also appointed governors, all of whom were from the old Liangzhou clan."
At the end of the sentence, he lowered his voice and said: "Except for Zhang, nothing will change."
Ji Yan's eyelids twitched. After a while, he asked in a hoarse voice: "How will your Majesty treat Mr. Zhang?"
"Your Majesty can even accommodate Cao Yi, let alone the Zhang family?" Yan Ding said: "It is Zhang Jun who was harmed by the efforts of the public to resist. The more fierce the resistance, the greater the losses to the Daliang King's division, and the emperor became more and more angry. , it’s hard to say what will happen to Zhang Gongting then.”
"Now, I can move my family to Luoyang and become a rich man."
"As time goes by, I am afraid that all the men in the family will be killed, and the wives and daughters will no longer be slaves."
"Zhang Xiping was a hero, how could Duke Ji bear to see his descendants end up in such a miserable state?"
"Alas!" Ji Yan sighed, tears streaming down his face.
With a "clang" sound, he threw the knife to the ground and cried: "I am sorry for the great kindness of Duke Xiping."
"Why did Duke Ji say this?" Yan Ding said in surprise: "Your Majesty still wants to reuse the public. If we can work together to defend Liangzhou for the imperial court and use the talents of the public, we will definitely be promoted. In the future, I will look after the Zhang family. What’s so difficult about people?”
When Ji Yan heard this, he wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "What you said is true. However, are the descendants of Duke Xiping really going to be fine?"

"The emperor keeps his word and keeps his word. For more than twenty years, if you think about it carefully, has there been any breach of promise today?" Yan Ding asked in return.
Ji Yan thought for a moment and seemed to have never heard of it.
"After the Duke returns to Yanzhi, you can give some advice to the Lord of the Song Dynasty." Yan Ding said again: "I heard that he is gathering troops and horses. This move is harmful to others and himself..."
Ji Yan sighed again.
Although there are eight counties in Wuxing County, in fact, only the first two counties have city walls. Among them, Yanzhi is slightly larger, so the county seat is located here.
Yan Ding wanted him to take advantage of the prefect Song Xiu's unpreparedness and detain him.
Can this be done? He hesitated.
However, what Yan Ding said just now seems to be right, "harming others and harming yourself"...
******
On the same day, Zhao Shi, the governor of the West County, had just led more than 4,000 cavalry to the east, and saw that the gate of the county city of Rile was closed.
He was horrified and looked back, only to see that the "Jin" flag at the top of the city had been taken off and replaced with the "Liang" flag.
The sergeants also made an outcry.
Zhao Xi rushed to the city and shouted: "Who can close the city gate?"
The former chief secretary of the shogunate, Ma Li, cupped his hands and said: "Master, do you know why I closed the city gate without waiting for you to leave?"
Zhao Xi was stunned.
Ma Li said with a smile: "You are the head of Lanchi before you. You are lucky enough to get in, but you don't know how to cherish your hard-won official position. I am trying to save you."
When he heard the words "progress with luck", Zhao Shi was a little angry.
He was indeed the county magistrate of Lanchi County under Xijun County. When he led his army for training, sergeant Zhang Bing found a jade seal in a clear stream and presented it to him.
At that time, Zhang Shi was in charge of the government, thinking that it was destiny, and he was overjoyed and transferred Zhao Shi to the shogunate as an official. In Zhang Mao's time, he returned to Xijun and served as the prefect for five years.
On the other hand, Ma Li, along with Bei Gongchun, Zhang Zuan, and Yin Jun, joined Luoyang 20 years ago, so his qualifications are not old.
Until Zhang Mao's era, Ma had always held the position of real power as the chief clerk. But after Zhang Mao's death, Zhang Jun was unwilling to appoint him because of his old age, so Ma Li had no choice but to return to his hometown in Xijun.
When he thought of "Beigong Jun", Zhao Shi was shocked and said: "Beigong Sanlang is back?"
Ma Li replied: "The prince has been in charge of Xijun for several years and has been very courteous to me. I won't hide some things from you. Beigong Sanlang is already the general of Daliang Xizhonglang. If he makes some military exploits, he can open a palace to eliminate me. Emperor Liang was very virtuous. He still remembered the old friendship after so many years, which made people feel sad. When I came to Luoyang to aid, I met Emperor Liang several times. At that time, I saw a yellow dragon rising in the sky behind him, and I knew that my destiny was fulfilled. If you are willing to change your ways, how about I count on you?”
Zhao Xi was silent for a long time.
Just when Ma Li was waiting impatiently, he heard him say: "Please Ma Gong, please give me a few Liang flags, and then I will return to justice, rush to Wuwei, and respect the orders of General Daliang."
After that, he ordered the sergeants to throw away all the Jin flags.
The mackerel was dumbfounded and sighed: "The next generation is to be feared, the next generation is to be feared."
Thousands of soldiers outside the city were dizzy.
Before going out, it was still the Jin army. After only walking a few steps, it became the Liang army?
If we take a few more steps, will we become the Jin army again? Or maybe it's Liang Jun?
The king's flag changes at the top of the city, you can see it now.
