Straight man of steel

Chapter 310 Yelang Chaos
Now Chang'an and the surrounding large Guanzhong area belong to the boundary of internal history.

The lord and captain will be in charge of the territory of Chang'an, and the rest of the area will be divided into two areas and handed over to Zuo Neishi and Right Neishi respectively.

Left and right internal history, including the lord and captain, can enjoy administrative power but has no power to manage prisons.

Gongsun Hong is now serving as Zuo Nei Shi, and the area he can manage is only the area east of Chang'an.

Chang'an City and the large satellite cities around it have nothing to do with him. Just because Du County is in Shanglin Garden, it has naturally become one of the satellite cities of Chang'an City.

After Zhang Yuan got the edict and understood Gongsun Hong's meaning by the way, he didn't think about dealing with him more.

The two sides tacitly believed that neither would play tricks on the other in this matter, and Liu Che was not the kind of emperor who would only hold one party accountable.

Three days later, Gong Sunhong left Taixue to take up the post of Zuo Nei Shi, and at the same time took away a hundred Taixue students.

Zhang Yuan secretly observed the reactions of many people on this day, such as King Wuqiu Shou, Mei Gao, and his own student Yan Yi, who was not yet an adult, Sima Qian, etc.

As a result, everyone didn't pay much attention to this matter, and basically just regarded it as a group of students going out to study.

This matter did not suddenly cause an uproar in Chang'an as Zhang Yuan imagined.

Everything is very calm, and there seems to be no undercurrent surging under the calm.

In fact, Zuo Neishi was in the same position as the prefect of a county, except that he was on the edge of Chang'an and belonged to the capital, so he seemed to be stronger than the prefect.

Hundreds of Taixue students were dispersed and distributed to various counties in Zuo Nei Shi's territory, and some students who worshiped under Gongsun Hong's sect were taken by him to Huayin City, where Zuo Nei Shi's administrative seat was located.

After the list was handed in, Zhang Yuan knew that Gong Sunhong wanted to cultivate his own power.

At first, Zhang Yuan also wondered how a person with no foundation in the court could rise from a doctorate to the position of prime minister in just a few years.

Looking at it now, Gongsun Hong should have accumulated a large number of connections and cultivated his own power in the past few years while Liu Che valued Confucianism.

Ever since Dou Ying retired and returned home, the post of Doctor Yushi has been vacant for a long time.

Originally, the role of Doctor Yushi was to restrain the power of the prime minister together with the emperor. Earlier, Han Anguo defected to Tian Fu, and Liu Che was dumbfounded all of a sudden.

After that, Han Anguo committed a crime and transferred him away, and got Tian Fu's old rival Dou Ying to take up the post, but it didn't take long for Dou Ying to have an accident again.

The accidents happened one after another in the court hall, which made Liu Che a little tired, so he made the good old man Zhang Ou become the royal doctor.

The Great Han Emperor, who has always been extremely eager for power, unexpectedly chose to survive safely at this time, which surprised everyone.

Of course, it is not surprising that Zhang Ou became a doctor of imperial history. Zhang Ou is the second generation of the founding hero of the country, and his old father's Marquis has been passed down to the fourth generation. There is no problem, if he inherits his father's marquis, and even goes one step further to become a prime minister, no one dares to say anything against it.

What surprised everyone was Liu Che's change of attitude, and no one knew what happened.

Zhang Yuan deduced some roots, but it was also based on the memory in his mind.

If Tian Fu really disappeared within half a year, or passed away, Liu Che would take back all the power that originally belonged to the prime minister into his own hands with lightning speed.

This preconceived idea occupied Zhang Yuan's brain, making him always feel that this is the calm before the storm.

Zong Xing has gone to Southwest Yi to collect madman fruit for [-] days, Zhang Yuan has not received any news about him, and gradually became anxious in his heart.

During this period of time, there was always some bad news from the Southwest Yi, saying that Duo agreed to rebel, and Liu Che even sent Sima Xiangru to the Southwest Yi again, intending to completely suppress the rebellion in the Yelang Kingdom.

As Zhang Yuan's retainers, many people actually know Zong Xing.

Especially those people in the three counties of Bashu in the southwest, Zong Xingke had been following behind Zhang Yuan when Zhang Yuan was showing great prestige.

If someone with a heart finds out that Zong Xing suddenly appeared in the southwest, it might be a problem.

Worrying is worrying, but Zhang Yuan has nothing to do, after all, he can't reach that far.

Suddenly, it was summer, and there were only nine months left before the two-year agreement with Liu Che.

In the eyes of outsiders, Taixue didn't play much of a role, and many people knew about the two-year agreement, and most of them were waiting to see Zhang Yuan's good show.

People who had good relations with Zhang Yuan, such as Wei Qing Chuda, sent people to inquire about Zhang Yuan's situation.

Princess Pingyang also sent someone to the Taixue to tell Zhang Yuan not to feel pressured, at most he should step down from the position of the Taixue Order, anyway, Zhang Yuan is still young and still has many opportunities in the future.

Zhang Yuan kept all these concerns in his stomach. To be honest, even he himself didn't know how to find a good way to satisfy others and satisfy Liu Che.

He has many ways to reform, but whether it will work or not is another matter.

The achievement is to make the Taixue students familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, or to say that everyone can go to the local place to shoulder a responsibility.

No one told Zhang Yuan about this standard. It has only been a year since Taixue was first established, and even Liu Che didn't know what he hoped Taixue could bring to him.

Perhaps it is possible to train a large number of officials of the new generation, this is what Liu Che thought in his heart.

However, Taixue has a three-year system, and Zhang Yuan can't send all the students to become officials in advance in order to complete the two-year agreement.

Although there are hundreds of students who go to various government offices to learn and gain insights, they don't need the government to bear all their food, drink, and expenses.

After the first harvest in the school fields outside Du County, Liu Che never took care of Taixue, except that the salaries of the officials were still issued by the Da Nong Order, and the students did not have to pay tuition fees. The emperor still has a little conscience, and he didn't collect taxes from the school field of Taixue.

In this way, a hundred students are equivalent to voluntary laborers with no establishment.

In terms of reason, no matter whether it is the imperial court, local governments or Taixue, it can be accepted.

If the credit this time had not been taken away by Gong Sunhong, maybe Liu Che would still have thought that Zhang Yuan had made an achievement in his heart.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Zhang Yuan has nothing to say, so he cuts off the bullshit, and then thinks of a less abrupt idea to improve the Taixue system.

Fu County, the capital of the Yelang Kingdom in the southwest.

Zong Xing was alone, wearing the national costume of the Yelang people.

Floating among the streets and alleys.

Now Yelang Kingdom, Tang Meng and the Han army brought by Sima Xiangru are about to fight, and the Han people are being hunted everywhere in the city.

Fortunately, Zong Xing found out in advance, so he changed his clothes into Yelang clothes, and buried all his previous Han clothes in the ground.

Zhang Yuan confessed that he had already bought the madman fruit, and it was only because there were not too many of them that Zong Xing took the risk to continue to stay in Fu County. He had thought that the storm would come so soon.

On the other side, in Fuguan, Qianwei County, Sima Xiangru and Tang Meng were drinking and singing in the military tent. The two didn't pay attention to the so-called Yelang Kingdom at all.

This time, the imperial court enlisted nearly ten thousand slave troops and three thousand regular troops.

Among them, there are as many as 3000 soldiers, and Sima Xiangru is confident that these [-] people will be able to sweep the Yelang Kingdom with a population of only a few tens of thousands.

In fact, in the eyes of the Han people, the current Yelang Kingdom is a southwestern county called Qianwei County. As for the rebellion of Yelang Kingdom, in their eyes, it is just an ordinary bandit rebellion.

However, it has been repeated in just a few years, which will definitely make Liu Che very upset.

Directly ordered to move the county seat of Qianwei County, the so-called capital of Yelang Kingdom, to Nanguang County, the center of Qianwei County.

And set up Hanyang Duwei in Qianwei County, leading [-] soldiers, which is now the [-] soldiers and horses under the hands of Tang Meng and Sima Xiangru.

As soon as Sima Xiangru came holding the emperor's edict, he took over the military and political power of Qianwei County.

Earlier, in order to prevent the people of Yelang Kingdom from being so resistant, most of the magistrates of Qianwei County were from Yelang, and even Yelang Hou Duotong was able to have his own army.

In this way, the people under Tang Meng's hands were all crowded in Fuguan. In fact, this is no different from the previous Yelang Kingdom before it turned to the big man.

Tang Meng also thought in his heart that he would continue to raise the full strength of the Yelang Kingdom, and then devour it in one gulp, so as to gain a lot of military merit.

But now all the thoughts in his heart have come to nothing, and even after Sima Xiangru came, the greatest credit will be given to Sima Xiangru.

It can be said that Tang Meng's road to becoming a marquis was cut off.

This seemed to be a bad thing to him, but it was also a good thing. After Sima Xiangru came to Fuguan with his troops, Tang Meng thought about it and stopped obsessing about credit.

If Duotong, who was hundreds of miles away, knew the relaxed posture of Tang Meng and Sima Xiangru, he didn't know if he would vomit blood in anger.

Anyway, under my rule, I have hunted and arrested Han people wantonly. A monarch pays such attention to this level, and you two are drinking and having fun.

But Duotong will not know what happened in Fuguan after all. He is still trying his best to call on Yelang people, men, women, young and old, to take up arms and fight hard.

Duoduo people are not too stupid, and even contacted some other large tribes, wanting to resist the Han army together.

However, the remaining large tribes did not have many men at all because they had been captured by the Han army for labor for a long time.

The root of this matter is that Tang Meng did not want Zhang Yuan to be conscripted in the Yelang Kingdom. Tang Meng's method of strengthening the weak branches was wrong, so that the entire southwestern barbarians except Yelang Kingdom could not There are forces that have the strength to resist the Han army.

Right now, the clan line is blocked in the city of Fu County, and he has long wanted to get out, but the only exit from the city of Fu County has been blocked.

There are thousands of Yelang soldiers guarding inside and outside, even if Zong Xing wants to leave the city, there is nothing he can do.

The city of Fu County is backed by mountains, and it is a valley with only one exit. Such a place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if others attack with an absolute advantage, none of the people inside will be able to escape.

"General Sima, why are we wasting time waiting here.

Why don't you hurry up and gather your troops and horses, and send troops directly to Fuxian County, beheading Duotong and all the thieves, so as to avoid future troubles. "

After Tang Meng drank a glass of wine, he suddenly shouted.

It has been nearly three days since Sima Xiangru came to Fuguan, but he still has not ordered to send troops.

"General Tang, don't worry, Your Majesty is merciful, the purpose of sending me this time is not to completely eliminate the Yelang tribe.

The Southwestern barbarians are poor, and the Han people will not come here. Your Majesty still needs the existence of the Yelang tribe.

This time, it was just to beat Duotong, to let him understand the gap between Yelang and Tianchao, so that he would never have a rebellious heart from now on. "

Sima Xiangru smiled and said, but he was complaining in his heart that Tang Meng was a rough man who didn't understand Liu Che's thoughts at all, no wonder he had been staying in this poor place all these years.

"But wouldn't it be better for us to defeat the Yelang army as quickly as possible?"

Tang Meng still didn't understand, so he asked.

"According to the information from Fu County, Duotong is asking the people of the Yelang tribe to take up arms to resist.

Why don't we give him more time to prepare, so that even if he loses, he will be convinced when he thinks about it.

Now that Yelang's army is directly wiped out, Duo Tongxin will think that he is not ready, and he will definitely have other thoughts in the future. "

"General Sima Gao Zhi really opened my eyes."

Tang Meng picked up the wine bottle and toasted Sima Xiangru, and then drank it down.

Sima Xiangru waited for another five days before slowly mobilizing troops.

After leaving 1000 slaves to guard the rear, Sima Xiangru and Tang Meng took the remaining [-] troops and headed directly towards Fu County.

There are no city obstacles along the way from Fuguan to Fanxian. Although the road is difficult to walk, the road construction in the past few years has allowed the more than 1 infantry to advance at the original speed.

The mountains and forests on both sides of the road are full of Yelang people's eyeliner. Since Sima Xiangru and Tang Meng set off from Fuguan, the news reached Duotong's ears only one day later.

Knowing the habits of the Yelang people, Tang Meng also reminded Sima Xiangru and asked him if he should send someone to clean up these Yelang people's spies.

However, although Sima Xiangru looked down on the Yelang people, he also knew that the infantry of the Han army could not take advantage of them in the mountains and forests.

It is not a big problem to let Duotong know the dynamics of the Han army all the time.

Ever since, there was no way to hide the news in Fu County. Whether it was Duotong or the children on the side of the road, they all knew that [-] Han troops were coming to Fu County.

During such a long period of time, Duotong also organized more than [-] Yelang men who could take up arms and fight.

If Zong Xing hadn't been able to hide quickly, he might have been captured by Yelang's army and used as cannon fodder.

Now the most nervous people in Fu County are not Yelang people. Yelang people think that 3 people will definitely win if they fight against 1 people, so everyone is very relaxed.

Those who were nervous were those Han people who were arrested. They were afraid that after the Yelang people lost, they would lose their lives first.
