Chapter 185

There were very few soldiers in the Han Dynasty, and only a handful of soldiers were permanently more than two thousand military cities, including Lingjusai, the Qiang lieutenant stationed, Yunzhongcheng, the Xianbei lieutenant stationed, Liucheng, the Hun lieutenant stationed, Meiji, the Xiongnu lieutenant stationed, Manbosai, the Duliao lieutenant stationed, etc. The Han Dynasty had only these cities with regular soldiers. Most of the rest were only four or five hundred lieutenant stationed, Duwei, Sima, or Quhou with two hundred people, and Wubao with only a hundred people.

The young soldiers of the Han Dynasty do not mean that there are really no soldiers. Liangzhou is better. There were originally Han people farming villages, but there were only two types of Han people in the three counties of Hetao, either soldiers and families, or exiled criminals in the military farming field. These people were all military farming soldiers on the border of the Han Dynasty. In addition, there were Qiang, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuwan, Gaoche... A cadre of tribes, who were also part of the Han army. As long as they lived in the three counties of Hetao and were willing to become the military soldiers of the Han Dynasty, they were all part of the Han army.

The total number of the Huns was about 300,000 to 400,000, and the Xianbei population was slightly more. However, after Tan Shihuai's death, the three tribes were separated, and there were their own competition or struggles among them, which seemed powerful. However, due to the defeat of the Han army in the sixth year of Xiping and the death of Tan Shihuai, the Xiongnu and Xianbei entered the three kingdoms' hegemony almost at the same time. The population seemed to be more than 200,000 to 300,000 under Dong Hu's name, but the people who were fighting for hegemony could be mobilized by the two sides, and the number of people used was not as good as Dong Hu, but there was a prerequisite, that is, both sides could not unite together.

In March, the court guard Cui Lie spent only five million yuan to buy Situ, and the former Situ Yuan Wei served as the Grand Pu.

The Qiang people in Anding County invaded Youfufeng, the Qiang people in Hanyang County besieged Jizhou, Song Jian, a Qiang people in Qinghan, claimed to be the King of Han Ping, and the prefect of Jincheng County, Han Sui, Bian Zhang, Li Wenhou and others invaded the four northwest counties of Liangzhou...

In addition to Wudu County, which is close to Hanzhong, there are nine of the ten counties in Liangzhou. The court then appointed Huangfu Song as the left chariot general to fight against the thieves with integrity. Then the new Situ Cui Lie made the Qiang rebellion and wasted the national treasury. The court discussed the matter of "abandoning Liangzhou". The transferee Fu Xie scolded Cui Lie for killing him. All the ministers all angrily said that Cui Lie abandoned his territory and destroyed the country...

In April, Han Sui, Bian Zhang and Li Wenhou led 50,000 troops from Hanyang County to Youfufeng, and with tens of thousands of Qiang people in Beidi County to attack Youfufeng Yong County. It was very urgent. The left cavalry general Huangfu Song led 50,000 troops to destroy the elite Yellow Turban thieves and entered Chang'an to rescue...

In May, Huangfu Song led 50,000 elite Luoyang troops, and 70,000 Chang'an Sanfu entered Meiyang. The bandit army was in full swing, and the army was invincible in succession. After losing more than 10,000 soldiers, Huangfu Song had to set up camps and guard them. At the same time, Emperor Liu Hong dismissed the Taiwei Deng Sheng and Zhang Yan succeeded the Taiwei...

In June, the Taiwei Zhang Yan discussed the merits, and the 12 regular attendants were all appointed as marquises. Dong Zhuo was granted the title of marquis of the Yanxiang for his merits, with a fief of thousands of households, and was appointed as the General of the Central Army of the Yulin...

At the same time, Dong Hu ordered his generals to go out of the Great Wall to seize the strong Yin Pass, and then led 50,000 elite troops into Dingxiang County, passing through Tong Pass and along the Yellow River to Yunzhong County...

...

After Dong Hu ran to Bingzhou, he didn't want to pay attention to the affairs of the court, but how could the court not stare at him?

On that day, Dong Hu met Huchuquan, the right wise king of the Xiongnu, and Sima Guo Hu, Taiyuan County, and in front of everyone, he said he wanted to seize Dingxiang County. In June, Dong Hu indeed brought an army of 50,000 to Dingxiang County into Yunzhong County, and 10,000 "Dongbu Yicong" also snatched the entire Dingxiang County at the same time.

After Guo Hu brought the news back to Taiyuan County, Zhang Yi almost got mad and robbed Yanmen County first. The court did not blame him and even promoted the little bastard to the official position. Now he robbed Dingxiang County unscrupulously. Isn't this rebellion or what?

Impeach!

Impeachment must be made!

Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, transformed into Zuochang, the governor of Liangzhou that day, and the counties of Bingzhou also became another counties of Liangzhou. They all sent impeachment memorials to the court!

Without heavy snow, the impeachment memorial of escorting day and night was quickly delivered to Situ Cui Lie. After seeing Dong Hu stealing Dingxiang County without any scruples, he instinctively became furious...

"snort!"

Cui Lie threw the Bingzhou impeachment memorial on the table. After a while, he had to bring more than a dozen impeachment memorials into the palace. When he came to the harem to ask for the emperor, the emperor was talking to several people, and when he saw one of them...

"well……"

Cui Lie sighed in his heart, but nothing appeared on his face, but his arrival also interrupted the room talking about someone, not someone else, but Gai Xun, the commander of Hanyang County, and the upstart around the emperor.

When Xia Yu, the captain of the Qiang Hufeng, was in Youfufeng and raised horses, the Qiang Qiang in Beidi County was the first to rebel and joined forces with the Qiang people in Anding County. 50,000 Qiang people immediately rushed into Youfufeng. Gai Xun led two thousand Han soldiers to rescue him, but he was trapped in a heavy siege and the two thousand Han soldiers were wiped out.

Gai Xun's defeat was nothing. The bandit army was powerful and he fought until the last person was captured by the bandits. It was not considered as losing the face of the Han Dynasty. The key was that he had disagreed with the two governors Zuo Chang and Song Xiao.

First, when the thief rebelled, the governor Zuo Chang was bribed 50 million yuan of military funds and was escorted to the capital by the court for "cutting off theft". Song Xiao, who succeeded the governor, was afraid of the thief and was unreliable to send a copy of the "Book of Filial Piety" to each of the Qiang people who did not study. He wanted to use this to influence the Qiang people who liked to rebel. After the memorial was delivered to the emperor, Liu Hong was so angry that he immediately let someone put the successor Song Xiao in a cage.

Song Xiao was locked in a cage and must have appointed the new governor, so Yang Yong was allowed to serve as the new governor of Liangzhou. Gai Xun also brought Jia Xiao to Luoyang due to defeat.

After the thief captured Gai Xun, he did not kill him, and sent him back to Ji County. The thief besieged the city. Not only could the wheat outside the city not be harvested, but the people in the city could not leave the city to herd sheep. The people in the city had a famine. Perhaps Gai Xun was really a kind person, maybe to appease the families of soldiers who died in battle, or to reduce the guilt of defeat. After the thief put him back, he saved all the food in his family to the hungry people in the city. He also took his little family to leave Ji County. The thief could release him, so naturally he would not stop him from leaving Hanyang County. He could even hope that he would not surrender until the last person. It would only be more troublesome to stay in Ji County!

After Gai Xun returned to Luoyang, he submitted a memorial to the emperor, hoping that the emperor could move to Nangong to govern the world. He didn't know whether Liu Hong was giving up the world because Nangong was on fire or wanted to find an excuse to make money. He really realized that he wanted to regain the glory of his ancestors. After Gai Xun moved to Nangong to govern the world, Gai Xun became a new nobleman around the emperor in one fell swoop. Even Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were a little jealous.

Situ Cui Lie smiled bitterly when he saw Gai Xun sitting next to Liu Hong's hand, but there was nothing unusual on his face. He took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve...

"Your Majesty, Bingzhou has submitted a memorial to impeach Ambassador Dong..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Hong was impatient and snorted coldly to interrupt Cui Lie's words.

"snort!"

"What did that little bastard do?"

After Cui Lie delivered the bamboo slips to the little eunuch who was approaching, his face showed a little bitterness...

"Ambassador Dong thought Dingxiang County was sandwiched between the three Hetao counties and Yanmen County. In order for the soldiers to be more at ease, the retreat was stable, so..."

"Damn it—"

Liu Honggang was so angry that his old face turned red and furious when he saw Zhu Jian.

"Damn it!"

"What do you want to do if that little bastard wants to do? Do you really want to rebel-"

The emperor was really angry. He first robbed Yanmen County privately. For the sake of the money sent by the little bastard, he turned a blind eye and decided to agree. However, he had no imperial decree and robbed Dingxiang County again. Don’t he know that Dingxiang County is a place that makes the little bastard uncomfortable?

"snort!"

"Looking high..."

Liu Hong was furious and wanted to scold Gao Wang or Guo Sheng. He raised his eyes but did not see the two old bastards. Then he remembered that the two unlucky guys were also "exiled" to the edge of the palace. He raised his eyes but did not see anyone, and it felt as if he was punched in the chest.

"Zhang Rang!"

"Immediately, let someone go to Yanmen County and tell the damn child that if he dares to touch Dingxiang County, I... I will not spare him!"

Empress He, He Jin, He Miao, Zhang Rang, Gai Xun and others didn't know what happened, but after hearing that Dong Hu was going to rob Dingxiang County, except for Empress He frowned, the rest of the rest looked unhappy.

Zhang Rang was about to come forward, but Cui Lie spoke bitterly and dissuaded...

"Please rest your anger for a moment... At this time... I'm afraid we can't scold Dong... Ambassador Dong..."

Liu Hong's nose was heavy, and the rest of the people looked at Cui Lie with a strange look on their faces, and Cui Lie's face became even more depressed.

"Although the impeachment memorial sent by Bingzhou said that Ambassador Dong was willing to act recklessly, as the old minister thought, Ambassador Dong's real intention was to force the Meiji Xiongnu and force the Qiang Qu Shanyu to cut off his invasion of the three Hetao counties."

Liu Hong was shocked and hurriedly looked at Zhu Jian. Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, impeached Dong Hu, must have wanted the court to take preconceptions, and he naturally put Dong Hu in the position of "front page headlines". After reading the beginning, Liu Honggang was indeed furious and did not read the content mentioned later.

When the rest of the people heard Cui Lie's words, they were all shocked. Seeing the emperor frowned, He Jin hesitated...

"Cui Xiang... That child was already in trouble when he was taking over Yanmen and Dingxiang County. How could he listen to Cui Xiang's words? There seems to be another hidden story in this matter?"

Cui Lie is about to speak...

"snort!"

Liu Hong snorted coldly, threw the bamboo slips on the table, pointed at Zhang Rang, and Zhang Rang hurriedly lowered his body...

"That little bastard has a big appetite! Not only did he take advantage of the crisis of the Han Dynasty to occupy Yanmen County and Dingxiang County, but he also wanted to swallow the entire Liangzhou in one bite and become the Qiang King of Liangzhou!"

"What?"

Everyone was even more shocked. He Jin, He Miao, and Gai Xun didn't care about anything else, and surrounded Zhang Rang to see Zhang Yi's impeachment bamboo slips...

"wild ambition!"

The general He Jin had not finished reading all the bamboo slips yet, and he was furious and stepped forward to bow down.

"Your Majesty, you must not keep such a wolfish and ambition!"

General He Jin was furious, and Gai Xun frowned instead...

"This matter is probably not that simple."

Everyone looked at Gai Xun, who bowed to the emperor with a fist and looked a little solemn.

"The letter said that the court recruited Han Sui's rebels and wanted the Eastern Qiang to fight with the Western Qiang in the Hehuang Valley. This matter should be true! The East and West Qiang fight, regardless of the outcome, Liangzhou will be safe within 20 years, but..."
