Han Dao world

Whether it is the Huns in Pingyang, the Baibo Army in Baibo Valley, or the reinforcements from Shangdang, they all have to pass through Jiangyi.

Liu Xie arranged for Zhang Yang to lead a thousand Bingzhou cavalry to go along the road to Wenxi to meet Pei Mao's food delivery team.

If anyone intends to rob these grains, shoot them to death.

At the same time, Yang Dingze led Liangzhou under his command to march westward to meet the grain coming from Xiexian and Yishi.

If the food in these two counties has not been shipped, consider taking over by force.

With Yang Xiu as a military advisor, Yang Ding should be able to curb his plundering nature and be a hawk and dog with peace of mind instead of a wolf.

After Zhang Yang and Yang Ding set off, Liu Xie was left with only Guang Luxun Deng Quan and his subordinates Huben, Yulin, and Zhang Yang's 3000 infantry, with a total strength of about [-].

Deng Quan was very nervous, and ordered Huben and Yulin to line up, intending to surround Liu Xie and isolate Zhang Yang's subordinates.

Liu Xie stopped him and ordered Huben and Habayashi to distance themselves, leaving an open space, set up Shehou (archery target), and played an archery game.

There are also various martial arts in the Han Dynasty, such as boxing, swordsmanship, and jiaojia are also very popular, but most people do not regard these as martial arts, but as games.The first choice for real martial arts is cavalry and archery, followed by spears that can be used in horse warfare and infantry, and then swords, shields and short soldiers.

Therefore, when mentioning fierce men with high martial arts skills in history books, most of them are inseparable from words such as bow horse, riding and shooting.

At the beginning of the competition, Habayashi Zhonglang Zhang Xiu took the lead and shot twelve arrows. He hit ten arrows, three times in a row.

Being able to hit a target on a galloping horse requires not only training but also talent.

Zhang Xiu is obviously a talented person, and his riding and archery skills are even inferior to those of the Habayashi riders who also came from the six counties of Liangzhou.

Seeing Zhang Xiu's arrogance and arrogance, Liu Xie ordered Guo Wu to fight.

Guo Wu is also a talented player.

As a child of Jiangdong, he is not only good at riding, but also outstanding in riding and shooting.

Compared with Zhang Xiu, who has a lot of daily affairs to manage, he has another advantage. Apart from being on duty, he has a lot of time for practice.

As soon as Guo Wu made a move, no matter the accuracy or the quickness of the move, he was not weaker than Zhang Xiu, and even had a slight advantage.

Surprised and delighted, Zhang Xiu asked Guo Wu for a spear contest.

He has known for a long time that Guo Wu is a master, but he has never found a chance to challenge him.Today, taking advantage of the emperor's joy, I want to try Guo Wu's skills.

Liu Xie agreed.

Zhang Xiu and Guo Wu went to battle, the atmosphere became lively, and the soldiers watched with gusto.

Liu Xie called a Huben servant and asked him to pass on the general Yang Chou left behind by Zhang Yang.

Not long after, Huben came back, followed by several knights.

The knights got off their horses far away, stepped forward one by one, came to Liu Xie, bowed and saluted, and reported their names.

"General Xiaoqi's captain, Chen Chou, has seen His Majesty."

Liu Xie nodded and pointed to Zhang Xiu and Guo Wu who were fighting fiercely. "Are you interested?"

Yang Chou had already seen this scene when he came, and when he was amazed at the martial arts of the two men, he also knew that he was definitely not an opponent.

"Both of them are warriors. I dare not show my ugliness. I will humiliate myself."

Liu Xie laughed.

Yang Chou also laughed, and his originally nervous mood relaxed a bit.

Liu Xie ordered someone to give him a seat, and started a family routine with Yang Chou.

Yang Chou claimed to be from Pengcheng. He was originally a part of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou.

The sources of Zhang Yang's subordinates are very mixed. Except for more than 1000 elites recruited from Bingzhou, the rest include Hanoi natives, Henan refugees, the old Yellow Turbans, and even some Huns.

Zhang Yang once cooperated with Yu Fuluo for a period of time, but later turned his face and was hijacked by Yu Fuluo.The two sides fought back and forth, each winning and losing, so the personnel were also very mixed.

"Since you are the former member of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, do you still have contact with the old man?"

Yang Chou shook his head, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes. "The Qingzhou Department has suffered disasters in recent years and suffered heavy losses. If you think about it, there will be no one in ten. Moreover, there is no news in troubled times. Even if you are alive, you can't get in touch."

"Do you miss home?" Liu Xie asked suddenly.

Yang Chou was stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly a little dazed, and he said after a while: "Your Majesty, I have no home. Before the Yellow Turban incident, I sold all the acres of Susukida at home, including my wife and daughter, and I still can't get enough to eat." Food. The parents starved to death, the son also starved to death, and was..."

He suddenly choked up, covered his face with his hands, his shoulders twitched, and tears spilled from his fingers.

The more he cried, the more excited he became, and he was so out of breath that he fell to the ground.

Liu Xie looked at Yang Chou quietly, feeling unspeakably bleak in his heart.

He roughly guessed what Yang Chou didn't say.

That poor child was most likely eaten by someone, either by Yang Chou himself, or by exchanging it with others.

In order to survive, people can do anything, and there is only a skin gap between them and beasts.

Behind the magnificent heroic epic of the Three Kingdoms are countless ordinary people struggling to survive on the death line.

These people are not even qualified to leave their names, and they are the silent majority when they are brushed aside by words like refugees and moth thieves.

The bones of the dead are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles.There is no more than one room in ten rooms, and wild foxes are not afraid of people.

Chapter 199

Looking at the rough-looking man crying, Cai Yan beside him also had red eyes and couldn't write.

Tears slid down his face, dripped on the wooden slips, and stained the ink.

As far back as she can remember, she followed her father Cai Yong to the rivers and lakes, saw the extravagance of high schools and deep courtyards, and also saw the cruelty of Yizi's food, and she almost became a servant of the Xiliang Army.

She has seen all the joys and sorrows in the world.

She has also experienced the injustice in the world.

Now in Hedong, watching the Wei family and the Fan family resist orders according to the fort, seeing the ministers and ministers protecting Wei Fan openly and secretly, making enemies of the emperor for those big families who embezzle the imperial tax, but disregarding the life and death of the people, she suddenly understood the emperor a little bit. anxiety and anger.

Xun You stood aside, didn't speak, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Liu Xie got up and stroked Yang Chou.

"The restlessness in the world and the misery of the people are all the fault of the court. I dare to swear to all the people because of my immorality, if I can't build peace again, let the cultivated land have food, the weavers have their clothes, the little ones have something to support, the old people have something to rely on, I can't die with peace in my eyes. May you help me."

"Dare not to obey orders, dare not obey orders." Yang Chou cried and kowtowed, but his expression was somewhat perfunctory, obviously he didn't believe it.

Liu Xie didn't say anything.

Trust is not gained by words, but by actions.

He recruited Yang Chou to speak because he wanted to know what Zhang Yang's subordinates were thinking.

Zhang Yang is a kind person, but not a capable person.He is full of martial prowess, but he is not good at running an army, and he can't even win over his subordinates.

If he remembered correctly, Zhang Yang died at the hands of Yang Chou in front of him in the end.

The reason for this is unknown to him, and it is not recorded in history.

But it is an indisputable fact that Zhang Yang's lack of control and defense against his subordinates is indisputable.

As a general, there are only a handful of people who were killed by his generals, and Zhang Yang was one of them.

When Yang Chou calmed down, Liu Xie asked his subordinates again, and Lala asked a lot of miscellaneous questions.

In the evening, Zhang Yang rushed to escort the two thousand shi grains sent by Wen Xi.After Liu Xie left some rations, he ordered people to send all the food outside Wei's Manor to Sun Rui, the guard.

Liu Xie set up camp on the spot and ordered people to cook porridge in big pots, and put a few pieces of meat in each pot to add some meaty smell.

He called Zhang Yang, Deng Quan and others to discuss matters while eating.

"Is the general familiar with Hu Chuquan?" Liu Xie asked Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and habitually wiped his mouth with his sleeve. "Familiar, this person is not a problem."

Liu Xie motioned Zhang Yang to explain in detail.

Zhang Yang thought about it.

"Hu Chuquan is the younger brother of Yu Fuluo, the second son of the former Shanyu Qiangqu. He has been taken care of by his father and brother since he was a child, so he can be regarded as a proud child. He has some martial arts, but not outstanding, and the ability to lead the people. It's also very average. How should I put it, he's not a bad person, but he's not much better either. After Yu Fuluo's death, he's been quite peaceful for the past few years, and he hasn't heard of any evil deeds."

"Will he surrender?"

"It should be." Zhang Yang said: "But he is timid, so he may not dare to come."

"How do you say that?"

Zhang Yang secretly glanced at Guang Luxun and Deng Quan.

Deng Quan was concentrating on scraping the leftovers from the bowl with his fingers, not paying attention to Zhang Yang at all.

Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, moved towards Liu Xie, and lowered his voice.

"Does Your Majesty know why Qiang Qu died?"

Liu Xie shook his head.

"Qiang Qu was killed by the tribe because the Huns felt that he was attached to the Han people and turned his back on the tribe. At the beginning, Qiang Qu was able to be established as Shanyu because the Xiongnu Zhonglang killed his predecessor Zhang Xiu and made friends with him. Later, Zhang Xiu was killed by the imperial court, but Qiang Qu’s position as Shanyu was recognized by the imperial court, and he has been obedient to the imperial court since then. He sent troops to help."

"Since Qiang Qu is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, why didn't Hu Chuquan dare to come to see me?"

"Qiang Qu was indeed loyal to the great Han, but after he was killed by his clansmen, Yu Fuluo brothers asked for troops, but they didn't get help from the court. Instead, they extorted a lot of property, especially war horses. Some people regarded him as a barbarian They were not allowed to enter the city of Luoyang. Later, the late emperor made a big move, and no one cared about their life and death. They had no food and clothing, so they had no choice but to plunder the counties and violated the laws of the court. With all the crimes added to one body, how dare they come to see him? .”

Liu Xie was thoughtful and didn't speak any more.

Zhang Yang spoke vaguely, and didn't specifically say who blackmailed the Huns, but he could figure out who it was by thinking about it with his toes.

Nature is a powerful person.

After Zhongping, the world was in chaos, and the price of war horses remained high. At the most expensive time, a war horse was worth 200 million yuan, and it was not always possible to buy it.Seeing the Huns with thousands of war horses, people will naturally pounce on them like flies, knocking the bones and sucking the marrow.

But they accepted the benefits of the Huns, but did not help the Huns.

In order to survive, the Huns were forced to plunder, and they were severely cracked down by these people on this ground.

At this time, he issued an edict, summoning the Huns to meet him and plead guilty, how dare the Huns come.

The emperor has changed, but the same group of people are still around the emperor, and Hu Chuquan doesn't trust them at all.

So it can be explained that the Huns have not shown up for a long time.

In history, the Huns sent troops to help out to fight against Li Jue and others, not at the call of the imperial court, but at the invitation of Yang Feng.

They are more willing to trust the Baibo Army than the court.

"Will Hu Chuquan trust you?"

Zhang Yang thought about it. "It used to be, but it's hard to say now. Bereaved dogs are especially vigilant. If your majesty wants to call Chuquan, it's better to use the Baibo army as an intermediary. The Huns have been in Pingyang for the past few years, and they have many alliances with the Baibo army, and the relationship has always been good."

Liu Xie didn't say anything more.

He wanted to subdue the Huns, but he was not in a hurry.

Since Hu Chuquan didn't have the courage to attack him, it's better to let it go and wait until the Hedong clan is settled.

Just as he was talking, a tiger came to report, and Xun Yu in Yingchuan asked to see him.

Liu Xie looked at Xun You in surprise, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xun came so fast, I thought I would have to wait a while."

Xun You was even more surprised.He didn't know that Xun Yu was coming.

"Your Majesty, let me go and greet you."

"Alright, there is Lao Gongda."

Xun You was slightly surprised, paused, and left.

Zhang Yang got up to leave, but was left behind by Liu Xie.

"I must not be full just now, let's take a few more bites by the way."

Zhang Yang was in the middle of his arms and readily agreed.

Liu Xie took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of his mouth, and ordered someone to prepare some food.

Xun Yu came all the way, so he probably hasn't had dinner yet.

Regardless of whether they can reach an agreement in the end, a meal always needs to be entertained.

Liu Xie thought about it, and then ordered someone to slaughter a sheep, which will be roasted and eaten later, which is considered a special treat.

Xun You went there for a long time, the sheep were slaughtered and roasted on the fire, and then he came with Xun Yu.

Xun Yu's face was dusty and dusty, but his face was still clean, probably because he had just washed it in water, and his temples were still wet.He has good facial features, a dignified appearance, and is as gentle as jade. He is a rare handsome man.
