Chapter 946 The March of Suffering(1/2)

If Jiangnan is an undercurrent, Kansai is full of wildfires. But the fires were not big and were quickly extinguished.

By mid-October, after Jiuquan King Shiwu surrendered, most places in Qinzhou had been pacified.

However, after learning that his side would be moved to Xingyang, Shi Wu hesitated.

On October 20, he ordered the release of a group of Shi Le people and raised the flag to rebel again.

Jin Zheng then drove the army to besiege. In addition to the right battalion of Yinqiang, Feilongwei on the left, and the first battalion of Huangtou Army, there were also Luzezhen Qingqi, Youzhou Tuqidu, Hedong Zahu cavalry, and Xiong Jin Kang's tribe. They defeated it in the field.

Shi Le, Shi Wu and others led the remaining troops to rush west, and Jin Zheng sent cavalry to pursue them.

Yang Nandi, the leader of the Di people in Qiuchi, and Yang Jiantou surrendered and rebelled many times. They were defeated by the Huns a few years ago. However, there was a great epidemic that year and the Huns did not want to fight, so they accepted their surrender and made Yang Nandi a warrior.

The king of the capital also divided and disintegrated Qiu Chidi's power and won over some tribal chiefs who sincerely submitted to him.

Later, Chen An rebelled and was defeated and killed. Yang Nandi's brothers were worried about being killed because they were colluding with Chen An, so they led a group of tribesmen and fled south to join the Cheng Han Dynasty. They were placed in Jinshou (now south of Guangyuan, Sichuan).

.

However, the Xiongnu had no basis for rule in Wudu, Yinping, Longxi and other places, and could not station large armies for a long time.

After the main force withdrew, the remaining troops stayed for a while and finally left. Before leaving, they also moved away some tribes they considered unreliable.

As Liu Han's pressure in the east increased and he became increasingly unable to control Qinzhou, the brothers Yang Nandi and Yang Jiantou felt that an opportunity had come, so they went north to Hanzhong and then to Wudu.

Guard the city.

There are also a large number of Di and Qiang in the Yinping area, and the miscellaneous Hus responded and joined Yang Nandi's brothers.

To this day, Yang Nandi has occupied Wudu and Yang Jiantou has occupied Yinping. The two of them have also fought off the furious pursuers of Li Xiong of the Cheng Han Dynasty.

The situation was so good that the brothers were confused again and actually wanted to negotiate terms with Shao Xun.

When Shao Xun received the news at this moment, he only sneered.

He knew that he could not directly rule Wudu and the two counties of Yinping, but he was unhappy with Yang Duryodhana and had to kill his majesty.

Therefore, he told Jin Ming, who was still waiting for Qinzhou to be recovered before heading west, not to wait any longer, and immediately led 20,000 people to join the Qinzhou battlefield.

At the same time, Yao Yizhong, the prefect of Nan'an, went to Longxi first, wiped out the few local Di Qiang who responded to Yang Nandi's brothers, and then outflanked Yinping.

After issuing these orders, he did not intend to delay any longer, and left Chang'an on October 25th, returning to Luoyang via Tongguan.

That's right, it's Luoyang.

Shao Xun has decided to celebrate the New Year in Luoyang this year for a simple reason: it is convenient to get things done.

Therefore, relocation started in Pingyang from mid-October.

Officials, sergeants and their families went to Luoyang in large numbers in batches.

******

Pu Hong's troops also set out in mid-October. They also needed to go to Luoyang first, but their final destination was Jijun.

The carriages rattled all the way, and the horses and horses supported the old and the young, hesitantly moving forward. On October 24, they arrived at Zheng County, the easternmost part of Jingzhao County.

While resting in a dilapidated city, the county sent a batch of hay, bran, grains and beans.

The number was definitely not enough. Pu Hong looked at the cattle, sheep and horses that had lost a lot of weight and sighed.

The Di people were half-grazers and half-farmers, and livestock was a very important part of their lives. During the long journey, the losses must have been serious, but the court would not provide them with livestock, only some silk.

What's the use?

But there is no way, the truth is like this. If you are not satisfied, you should not have agreed to go on the road in the first place, but rushed back to your hometown in Lueyang, occupied the city and rebelled.

To be honest, when he heard the news about Yang Nandi's brothers' rebellion, Pu Hong felt a little regretful. But he had already been on the road for several days, and there were several soldiers from Zuo Xiao's cavalry guard Shao Shen who were returning eastward along the way.

Thousands of people monitor.

They were all veterans with many years of experience. On their side, they had a family to take care of. The young men were mixed with women and children. There was no chance of winning, so they could only suppress the various emotions in their hearts and head eastward.

At any rate, he was appointed General Weiyuan (from the fourth rank) by the King of Liang, and the Pu family in Lueyang also changed his residence from Jijun to Nailu, whose surname was Yi. With this benefit, he should bear with it for now.

The city where they rested was the ancient city of Shenyang of the Han Dynasty. More than forty miles to the east is Huayin County, Hongnong County. Forty miles to the east of Huayin County is Tongguan - Tongguan is less than three hundred miles away from Chang'an.

.

While dinner was being prepared, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.

The old, weak, women and children exclaimed, and the strong men immediately gathered together. The tribal commanders and clan leaders were sweating profusely and distributed weapons. Those who received the weapons began to form an array, and the cavalry brought in horses and looked at Pu Hong's place from a distance.

Camp and wait for the next order.

Lueyang is not a kind place. If they were not alert, they would have been killed long ago. They have practiced this kind of scene many times in actual combat.

Fortunately, the sound of horse hooves gradually stopped. After a while, dozens of horses crossed the river from a wooden bridge and arrived at the south bank of the Weishui River.

After Pu Hong received the report, he immediately went to greet him.

"Why are you here, Chief of the Xuchu Department?" Pu Hong, who had already put on his armor, looked away from the more than a thousand cavalrymen on the north bank of the Weishui River and asked with a smile.

Xu Chuquanqu struggled for a moment and saluted, "I have met General Weiyuan."

Pu Hong felt secretly happy and said: "No need to be more polite."

I don't know what happened, but he only got the post of Dali Ling and Feng Yi Commandery. The governor was a member of the Jincheng You family, You Ziyuan, so he was probably very angry.

"The King of Liang has an order that must be carried out." Xuchi Quanqu said with a grim look on his face: "Before leaving, I joined forces with Lu Zhuqian, the governor of Diaoyin, Shan Zhi, the governor of Shangjun, and the Xue family of Fenyin to attack and kill Penjuchu.

There are more than 20,000 prisoners captured, and our troops will escort them eastward."

"It's really hard when it's freezing cold. Why don't you come to my tent and have a drink of just warm wine." Pu Hong invited.

"No." Xu Chuquanqu was in a bad mood and refused directly. He only said: "I also saw the camp several miles away from here on the other side of the river. I was a little shocked, so I came over to take a look."

When people said this, Pu Hong didn't force himself and asked again: "I heard that Feng Yi and the Four-Corner King Bo Juda are there. What's going on with this generation?"

"Same as your family, forced eviction." Xu Qu Quanqu said.

"Where to go?" Pu Hong asked.

"It's probably Runyin or Runan. I heard that there were wars every three days and the countryside was very desolate, so I moved there." Xu Chuquanqu said: "Bo Juda didn't want to leave, so he went to Chang'an in person and heard howling and crying.

, King Liang didn’t allow it.”

Pu Hong felt a little upset after hearing this.

Bo Juda, who calls himself the "Four Corners King", has a great reputation among the Qiang people in Feng Yi and Shangjun. He is cruel and has outstanding martial arts. However, such a well-known man cries like a woman.

But King Liang didn't take him seriously at all, and it was useless to cry to death.

From this perspective, King Liang was more cruel than Bo Juda.

If you encounter such a vicious person, wish yourself good luck.

"King of Northern Qiang, after the King of Four Corners is gone, Feng Yi, Shangjun - uh, it should be called Diaoyin County now, should be able to free up a lot of fields, right?" When Pu Hong said this, he glanced at the Xunququan Canal.

face.

Sure enough, Xu Chuquanqu couldn't hide the matter in his heart and said angrily on the spot: "The land of the Four Corners King was given to me, but I also gave up a piece of land."

"where?"

"You will know after the Chaoyi, Shenyang, and Hanyuan Sanlongxiang mansions are built."

Pu Hong was shocked when he heard this.

He knows a little about the geography of Guanzhong.

Not to mention Shenyang, where they are now is located in Zheng County, Jingzhao County, not far from Hongnong and Fengyi counties.

Chaoyi is an ancient city, located in the east of Dali County, the capital of Fengyi County, not far from the Yellow River.

Hanyuan is also an ancient place name, located in the north of Xiayang County, Fengyi County (today's Hancheng).

The three Longxiang Prefectures are 3,600 troops, lined up along the ferry crossings and Tongguan on the west bank of the Yellow River.

They can protect the ferry here. If there is an unrest in Guanzhong in the future and the conquest army surges in, you can no longer rely on the Yellow River and Tongguan will cede territory to defend itself.

The most important thing is that it cuts off the Pu family's way back to Guanzhong in the future.

And once there is no way to return to Guanzhong, can the rebellion succeed just by bringing tens of thousands of Di people to Jijun? Obviously not.

Dragons have to enter the sea to exert their power. Guanzhong, where there are many Di and Qiang people, is their "sea". If they go to Jijun, the dragons will be trapped in the shallows, unable to grow.

Everyone said that King Liang had a kind face but a dark heart. I didn’t believe it before, but I believe it now.

Pu Hong sighed and didn't want to say anything more.

******

On the fifth day of November, tens of thousands of people from the Puhong tribe arrived in Hu County, Hongnong County, and camped in the wild fields near Longxiang Mansion in Neng Township.

On this day, they were overtaken by the army returning eastward from Chang'an.

A large number of people and horses passed by, traveling eastward all night long, actually traveling all night.

The mountains on both sides of the post road were filled with soldiers from the Youyu Lin Guards.

Pu Hong also stood on a mountain plateau and even saw King Liang's banner from a distance.

I have evil thoughts in my heart, and even have the urge to attack at night.
To be continued...
