Chapter 114(1/2)
Feng Yan returned to Jilusai to Lian Dan to convey the "reality" of Xin Qinzhong. He could not come back within ten days and half a month, and this period became the most difficult day for the fifth relationship.
Liang Qiuci was "Pinglizi", Dou Rong was "Jianwu Man", and he was "Dingli Man".
They all have titles, and the three of them hold military power, but it is funny to say that what determines their future destiny is Feng Yan, who is just a 300-stone sect leader, can play a trick on Qianjun.
"The same was true when I was a supervisor."
Because Ma Yuan was afraid of being recognized by Dou Rong and the Jingwei people in Liang Qiuci's army, he simply ran to the sparsely populated military camp near Helan Mountain to help the Fifth Lun practice cavalry and become the instructor.
He saw that the fifth reunion was a little anxious to wait for General Gengshi to make a decision, and couldn't help but laugh: "The county magistrate is an official, not only has a higher rank and salary than the supervisor, but also has the right to appoint him in the court. The supervisor is an official, and the county magistrate will be eliminated by himself."
"But when I was a small supervisor, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the county magistrate all bowed their heads, for fear of offending. I really used this identity to punish several county magistrates in Jingwei County who were really dissatisfied."
Wu Lun looked at Ma Yuan with his squint eyes. Didn’t you, the supervisor, be tied up and beaten?
I saw Ma Yuan's sword that never leaves him, of course, I couldn't beat him.
The Supervisor is a county-level supervisor, and further up there are the provincial governors, as well as the deputy generals of the provincial governors, the deputy generals of the provincial governors,
He acted like the governor of the Han Dynasty.
But the Bingzhou Mu was far away in Taiyuan, and Wuyuan was obviously out of reach for Shuofang thousands of miles away. Wang Mang could only rely on Wuweishishi and the general stationed in the army to enforce the law.
However, the Five Powers will not be ordered by the Six Forces and Six Townships, and the power will not be achieved in the frontier. The embroidered clothes and law enforcement have long been aligned with local officials, army, and powerful people, and they can make money and do nothing.
There were huge mistakes when uploading and downloading, and the emperor could not know the truth, so he could only see through the memorial.
By the end of October, Feng Yan came back. He had already summoned Dou Rong, Liang Qiuci, and the fifth reunion in Lingwu County with the talisman given by General Gengshi.
As soon as the three of them met, they could see that Liang Qiuci had a hard time these days. It seemed that he was ten years older, and his pair of bags were almost hanging onto his cheeks. I guess he couldn't sleep at night and couldn't bear to eat.
Feng Yan announced Lian Dan's decision: "Captain Liang Qiuci was invincible to defend the enemy, which led to the invasion of the Huns and invaded the New Qinzhong. Fortunately, the Jianwu man Dou Rong and Dingli man Wu Lun worked together to defeat the Xiongnu and preserve the counties. Liang Qiuci made a mistake, and Dou Rong made a contribution to the fifth reunion!"
After this, Liang Qiuci was not astonished as if he had reversed, but instead sighed.
Previously, Liang Qiuci was already in vain and was about to wait for death. It was Sima, the subordinate army, and the Lingzhou County magistrate instigated him to do those confused things. A lie must be fulfilled by a bigger one, and he regretted it afterwards, but he was already on a single-plank bridge, so he could only walk forward with a sting, for fear that someone would fall accidentally.
Now that he was kicked off the bridge by a back stab, Liang Qiuci seemed to be free. After all, Lian Dan did not expose his guilt of fabricating his merits, and only removed his post and escorted him back to Chang'an. He waited for his defeat, and could save his life.
"The officials in the lower class should suffer this blame."
Liang Qiuci did not yell, but accepted his orders despair. He took off the military cap on his head, took off his robe and robbed him from the Lord of Yiqu to the prisoner, and let him be punished by the shackles.
Liang Qiuci only stopped for a moment when he passed by the fifth reunion. He looked at the young subordinate who looked at him without any reservation and whispered: "I hope Boyu can go long. One day, don't become like me."
Wu Lun thought he was mocking and complaining, and smiled and said, "Like Gong Liang, I've been in."
"No." Liang Qiuci shook his head, raised his shackles, and almost cried: "Like mediocre and incompetent as me, I was fascinated by power and wealth."
After saying that, he was pushed away, which made Di Wulun stunned for a moment.
There is punishment, and there is reward. Feng Yan smiled at Dou Rong, and the fifth reunion said, "General Gengshi said that the two of them worked together to expel the captives and beheaded more than a thousand, and they made outstanding achievements. The memorial to repay you for your merits has been sent to Chang'an. The emperor will have a reward next month!"
"The truth" ran to Lian Dan, and the hundreds of heads doubled and turned into thousands. This is a big boast.
Since Liang Qiuci was taken away, the fifth reunion was promoted by Lian Dan and was promoted to the spot and became a "fake lieutenant". The real appointment must be asked for instructions from the court. Dou Rong then settled in Shanghe City and supported the fifth reunion.
"General Gengshi is worried that as mid-winter approaches, the Hu people may go south again with Han Wei's leadership."
Good guy, in the report of Lian Dan and other frontier generals, Han Wei has been resurrected and has become the culprit who led the Huns into the Siege chaos, which makes the fifth reunion feel absurd again.
After Feng Yan gave General Gengshi's order, he congratulated Wu Lun with Dou Rong: "Boyu has now become a captain, what is the first thing to do after taking office?"
After thinking about it, Wu Lun said seriously: "For hundreds of unjust cases, rehabilitation!"
...
"Please be careful, don't hit it."
The first order after Wu Lun took office was to ask Meng Ze to take the "cavalry team" composed of locals to return to Shanghe City, climb to the top of the city, and remove the heads of hundreds of innocent people hanging in Shanghe City and Lian County.
The cold winter freezes the dead's dark skin, which prevents them from rotting. Only some of them are pecked by crows and vultures and become incomplete.
They were all people who were brutally killed by the Huns, and some even had their scalps cut off. It is said that they were important horse decorations for the Hu people. They should have been properly restrained, but they were used by Liang Qiu.
Meng Ze and others hated this "former captain" even more: "If it weren't for Bo Yu Sima... the captain, these people would have died in vain."
"It's so unfair to be regarded as a traitor and surrender to Hu after death."
Hundreds of family members who were first ravaged by the Huns and arrested by the royal army were also released. Unfortunately, dozens of people were killed by cold and hunger. There were still several people who could not bear the treatment and committed suicide.
Therefore, although Liang Qiuci's words were good before leaving, the fifth reunion could not sympathize with him at all. Mediocrity was not an excuse to do these things.
The family members also had their own heads, thanked the soldiers with great gratitude and left crying. After a day, more than a dozen unclaimed one was left.
"Probably, the whole family was destroyed by the Huns or was kidnapped."
"I can't tell who it is and where the home is."
"After all, it's our hometown party, so let's bury them together."
“Where is buried?”
"The west bank of the Great River." Mengze suggested that the soldiers who died in the Fifth Battalion were also buried there.
They returned to the place where they fought half a month ago, dug more than a dozen pits next to the cemetery, and properly placed their heads. Because they didn't know their names, they could only insert wooden boards, indicating that this was the tomb of the suffering people in the New Qin Dynasty, and then stood there for a long time.
Mengze only swore to them: "If we guard the western Great Wall of Lian County at the foot of Helan Mountain, we will not let the Hu barbarians break into the barrier. One day, I will go out to attack Hu like my ancestor Meng, so that the Hu barbarians will no longer dare to go south to herd their horses!"
After all, he was a young man, and he was only depressed for a moment, and soon he smiled again. Meng Ze was puzzled by the current situation and asked their army waiter Wan Xiu: "Ren Junhou, it is logical that the Captain Boyu should take over the entire defense of the New Qinzhong, but why did Liang Qiushi not let him take care of the two thousand subordinates, but gave it to Dou Rong, why?"
"Because he is the direct lineage of General Gengshi."
Wan Xiu didn't quite understand the rules here. When he only listened to the discussions between the fifth reunion and Ma Yuan, he mentioned that there were differences between direct descendants and miscellaneous troops in the new army. The generals believed more than old officials, friends' children and relatives.
Dou Rong was the brother of the eldest Sikong Wang Yi's young wife. He was in charge of Zhai Yi and Lian Dan also served as a subordinate of Wang Yi. This relationship was obvious, so Dou Rong could achieve the first achievement without any effort.
The fifth reunion is simply raised by the stepmother. It can only take a few words on Lian Dan’s memorials by relying on real achievements.
This is nothing to do, who made you have no one in the court?
"It's better if the bad soldiers under Liang Qiuci's command don't come."
Wan Xiu comforted the soldiers and said, "Otherwise, with Captain Boyu's temper who hates evil, he will definitely kill people again!"
...
At the foot of the Huimi Mountain (Helan Mountain), more than a hundred miles west of the Yellow River, the fifth reunion and Ma Yuan rode their horses here to explore the terrain here.
Zhuma looked at the snowy Helan Mountains in winter, and Ma Yuan said: "The Fifth Battalion has been upgraded to the fifth song, and Boyu got what he wanted."
Wu Lun shook his head: "There is no song, it's just two camps, and then he eats the vacancy of three camps."
One battalion is mainly Zhu Tufeng, and is still stationed in Tewu, while the other is in Lian County. Most of the local people are recruited in Lingzhou. They are stationed in Lian County and are responsible for guarding the gap on the southern foot of Helan Mountain with Suizhu.
This is what is called "Helan Mountain is in short supply" in the future? The Helan Mountain, which runs north and south, is like a huge city wall, guarding the back pavement plain, not only blocking the dry and cold wind and boundless sand, but also blocking the covetousness of Huma. The mountains that do not grow in grass and the peaks that look like sharp blades are insurmountable natural dangers.
Only in the south there is a road leading to the outer wall. There was originally a Great Wall built in the Han Dynasty. It could not stop people, but if used correctly, it could block the horses of the barbarians.
However, since Xuan and Yuan Dynasty, the garrison was slackened and border soldiers were abolished, only a few were left. The subsequent damages and defects were not repaired in time, and they acted as a warning for beacon towers, allowing the Huns to enter easily.
Rebuilding military preparations is something that the fifth relationship should start immediately, rather than busy fighting for power and profit.
"Wen Yuan, although as you and I expected, let Gong and Dou Rong hand over a story that General Gengshi needed to make me become a captain, I was not happy or proud."
Wulun spat on the ground: "I just feel disgusted, as if I had eaten a bunch of mosquitoes and flies."
Ma Yuan laughed loudly when he heard this: "Boyu understands the reason why I left the official position? Should I also abandon my Yin and die in the world?"
"I can't bear to leave it." Di Wulun shook his head, and Ma Yuan stopped joking, and only asked what he had been enduring for a long time.
"Boyu, you go to the border with the army and work hard, don't be greedy for money, don't love beauty, and just train your soldiers and capture people's hearts. What do you want to do?"
The fifth reunion stared at Helan Mountain: "It's not hiding it from Wenyuan."
"I just want to make things look like it should be."
Fifth Ren murmured about his lowest expectations for the world.
"The emperor's edict will not be changed every day."
"Money is simple and easy to use. It can last ten or a hundred years, so there is no need to worry about abolishing it tomorrow."
"Grain is affordable, neither high nor low, nor low, neither farmers nor industry and commerce will suffer."
"Taxes and rents are only paid once a year, and it is not as good as separation from life and death."
As the fifth reunion talked, it seemed as if he had seen all kinds of strange experiences over the past two years, which made people want to cover their stomachs and laugh, and to sing for a long time.
He gradually became angry, as if he was yelling at Helan Mountain.
"Soldiers can kill the thieves and enemies well, and do not cut their swords at innocent people."
"If you make a contribution, you can be rewarded truthfully, without having to work hard and intrigue like us. You are clearly a righteous and meritorious man, but you have to ask for rewards from the generals who have no contribution. What you end up in your hands is nothing but the remaining remaining soup they chew!"
"I hope most that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and don't worry about suddenly adding taxes, don't have to drown their own babies, don't have to endure more violent man-made disasters, don't have to be displaced, and eventually become hungry on the roadside!"
I really miss the future generations. These common things are so precious when I go back to ancient times and back to this absurd era.
Ma Yuan listened to the rare rage of the fifth reunion, and was speechless for a long time, and finally said: "As Boyu said, the world is sick."
"I've been sick for a long time."
The Ma family was very ups and downs during the Han Dynasty and deeply participated in the court struggles. Ma Yuan also knew a lot from this: "During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the world was almost collapsed, and he almost died of illness once. Fortunately, Zhaoxuan revived, recuperated with the people, improved the administration of the government, and recuperated."
