Shanghe City is more than 100 miles north of Tewu County, also known as Lingzhou City, located on the west bank of the Yellow River and is the center of Xinqinzhong.

The construction of this place can be traced back to the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, when the Huns fled far away, and there was no royal court in Munan. Therefore, Hanwu recruited 600,000 people to go north, opened ditches, and turned thousands of miles of Muye into beautiful farmland. In order to manage these half-army immigrants, the imperial court set up the position of "Agricultural Commander" in each county, which was the main farmer and farmer. To put it simply, it is equivalent to the production and construction corps of later generations.

Like the former Han Dynasty, the Nong Duwei was directly under the Grand Minister of the Grand Minister - now named Nayan. The food and fodder of tens of thousands of soldiers under the jurisdiction of General Tunhu was provided by the Nong Duwei Shanghe. However, in the past ten years, the New Dynasties declared war on the Huns several times, and soldiers often settled in, emptied all the remaining grains of the Nong Duwei, and Zhu Tufeng was also required to search for grain in other counties as an auxiliary.

Less than a month after he settled in Xinqin, General Tunhu's food was a little tight, so he cared so much about the food from Tewu County. If all of it was lost, the loss would be great.

So when Han Wei learned that it was only the army Sima Ruchen was killed, and the five thousand stones of grain he transported were spared under the desperate defense of the Fifth Reunion, and was transported to the camp at night, Han Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that someone died, that's fine.

However, the next thing the fifth Lun reported was a bit difficult: "The subordinate officials were caught in the plan of the bandits to attack the east and west. In order to save your minister Sima and ensure the security, they led people to expel the main force of the bandits. Unexpectedly, the strange soldiers attacked our grain team. One thousand stones of food were burned down. Even Dai Junhou, who was escorting the grain, was unfortunately killed in battle. Lun was guilty of being a serious crime!"

So General Tunhu had to convene a military discussion overnight to discuss the merits and demerits of the fifth relationship.

Some people think that according to military law, if the fifth reunion loses food and grass, they should be beheaded!

This scared Han Wei. After all, the emperor personally received the fifth reunion, and he also gave him a crown. Although Han Wei despised him for being too lazy and refused to take on the heavy responsibility, it was a bit sloppy to kill him if he had a disagreement.

Seeing the general hesitant, the military judge also changed his words and felt that it would be almost done to dismiss him.

Liang Qiuci, who accepted the benefits of bribery from the fifth reunion, coughed and stood up and said justice.

"General, the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, the original heart of the gentleman, and the reason why the fifth relationship lost food and fodder was because he was eager to be righteous. After learning that your minister was attacked, he was busy rescuing his friendly army, so he ignored his own safety. As the saying goes, those who are good in their will and violate the law should not be punished by him."

Although Liang Qiuci learned that his old subordinate Dai Gong was dead, he was still burned to death by the bandits with extremely cruelty and his body was gone, and he was quite heartbroken, but how could the old man compare to the new man? The one who made the most profits for him and even asked the emperor to summon him was the fifth relationship.

If the fifth reun was dismissed or killed, Liang Qiuci would lose a general and he would not be allowed to keep him. What's more, the fifth reun also promised that if he could get all the Twu County, the benefits would be given to Liang Qiuci would be more.

As soon as this statement was made, some people agreed and some people opposed it. The military judge retorted: "Liangqiu Captain Liangqiu, the military laws prohibit it, how can we use the Spring and Autumn Period to judge the case? Those who are chaotic, lose their time, or lose their way during the war, who is the original heart who deliberately violates the military law? If according to the Liangqiu Captain Liangqiu, they are all judged by the original heart conviction, wouldn't they all want to reduce their crimes?"

Liang Qiuci is worthy of being a descendant of the great scholar Liang Qiuhe. He is greedy for money, but his skills are not bad. He said seriously: "I am just giving an example. Even if I don't follow the Spring and Autumn Period, the fifth reunion will be more merit than a fault!"

He told General Tunhu a story: "During the Emperor Xuan of Han in the previous dynasty, General Huo Guang sent five generals to attack the Huns. As a result, because the Huns fled far away, none of the five generals made military achievements. The only one who made merit was the envoy Chang Hui."

"Chang Hui was ordered to go to Wusun, join forces with Kunmi to help Han attack Hu, defeat the Youxian King's troops, captured more than 30,000 people and hundreds of thousands of livestock, which was a great victory. However, Chang Hui also made a mistake and was stolen by the Wusun people. According to the law, it was a death sentence!"

"But at that time, the officials in the court discussed the matter, but thought Chang Hui's contribution was great and too little, so he was not punished, but also appointed him as the Marquis of Changluo."

"The same is true today. Although the fifth reunion lost 1,000 stones, he saved 5,000 stones, and prevented the bandits from attacking the barriers and protecting the south of Tewu County. If he was punished in this way, he would be disappointed. In the future, all the lords were attacked by bandits and barbarians and asked for help from friendly forces. Who would dare to give their efforts to rescue them!"

This was a resounding statement, but everyone nodded frequently, and the judge of the army was speechless, and Han Wei felt it was reasonable.

So according to Liang Qiuci's suggestion, the south of the county is now empty. Not only did Ruchen die himself, but his subordinate Zhu Tufengyong also fled most of them, and he also let the fifth reunion, who was already familiar with Tewu County be reorganized and settled in the barriers to prevent the bandits.

After the crowd dispersed, the fifth reunion came in to receive the order and promised to replenish the lost 1,000 stones of grain within ten days, so he hurried south.

That night, the more Han Wei thought about it, the more he felt it wasn't that simple, so he called Liang Qiuci and said, "I always feel that something is strange about this!"

"If this happened in Qingxu, it would be fine, Jiangxia, but there were tens of thousands of troops on the side. Which thief dared to harass our food team during the day?"

"In addition, the bandits robbed me for money and grain, but when they went deep into the county, even if they killed the army's Sima, those large trucks could not be transported back, and even burned one thousand stones of grain."

This is no longer something that ordinary thieves can do, unless their purpose is not to loot!

Liang Qiuci was shocked: "What is the general who means... is this done by the barbarians?"

As Wang Mang declared war on the Huns, he also established a puppet "Shubu Good at". After he was confused, the Huns, who had originally wanted to marry, responded. The wise kings at the left and right led their troops to go south to guard against the new army's outbound troops.

"The Hulu is still on the other side of the mountain, across the Gobi desert, and our army is stationed here. How can we get Tewu County?"

Han Wei said with a serious expression: "I suspect that it is the inner supporter of the barbarians who are behind us!"

He asked someone to spread the map and pointed to Guangyan County (Sanshui County) south of Tewu County and said: "The south of Tewu is the vassal state of peace."

The vassal state of Anding was established during the Yuanshou of Emperor Wu of Han. As a Han Dynasty version of the vassal state, it resettled the Huns Hunxie tribe and Xiutu tribe. The capital was located in Sanshui, separated from Tewu Mountain. Later, Zhao Chong and Feng Fengshi conquered the Western Qiang. Some of the defeated Qiang people were moved here from Hehuang. At this time, the vassal state of Anding, Qiang, lived in Hu, and lived in half a farming and half a herd. During the war, they were summoned to the army to pay taxes. The Changshui Hu cavalry, one of the eight schools of the Northern Army, made many military achievements.

However, at the end of the dynasty, these mercenaries became unstable elements in the frontier. Moreover, because Emperor Wang Mang decided to calm the vassal states that Qiang Hu Guiyi Hou was demoted, he was quite resentful to the court. Han Wei had reason to suspect that the attack on his grain team was called Maqiao bandits, but it was actually caused by the Xiongnu envoys moving in and inciting the Qiang Hu lords of the vassal states!

"If you eat the enemy for one bell, you should be twenty bells; if you are afraid of one stone, you should be twenty stones. Although the Huns do not know military tactics, they understand this principle."

Thinking deeper, Han Wei felt cold sweat: "Since the Han Dynasty and the north and the south were harmonious, and the war was not seen for generations, the Xiongnu envoys frequently went in and out of the border, and probably had already penetrated into the vassal states, and now our troops were attacked from both sides."

So General Honkeng, who thought he had seen the conspiracy of the Huns, slapped the table and immediately sent someone south to Anding County to go to Anding County to share with Emperor Wang Mang's cousin, King Xiang Xiang of Anding, and to present this serious fact.

At the same time, it was ordered to transfer Dong Xi, the Sima of Xingjun who had been stationed outside the "Huanhuaizhan" more than a hundred miles north, and 1,000 soldiers of his troops must go to Tewu County in June.

"No matter who is instructing him or for what purpose, the bandits must suppress them at any time, and they cannot be suppressed without suppressing them!"

...

The barrier between the canals is sandwiched between the Qin Canal and the Han Canal, so it is named as the defense line south of the county town.

As a typical border city, it has two hundred steps east and west, more than a hundred steps north and south, two gates north and south, two meter high walls, and is built with rammed earth pressed against reeds. There is even a horse face on the wall, and there are all the four corners of the wall.

With such a tightly guarded barrier city, the fifth reunion couldn't even understand how Ma Yuan easily broke into the door with only 70 or 80 people.

But after thinking about it, I realized that even if the Xin army's Xian soldiers were even more anxious, they could disperse by themselves, let alone fighting. If you treat your subordinates harshly, most of the pig Tufengyong would not be willing to work for him. Even a few of their confidants were good at abuse and bullying the soldiers, and they were unable to fight against the enemy.

But all this has been turned. From today on, the fifth reunion will be the owner of this barrier.

The first thing the fifth reunion did after he moved in was to incorporate the remaining group of scattered soldiers and scattered soldiers.

He wore a piece of armor, wore a banana given by Wang Mang to Lin Wei, and a long sword given by Huan Tan. He stood on the barrier wall and glanced at the more than 400 people in front of him.

You should know that most of Ruchen's troops died on the road, with only less than 400 left. In the past month, Ding Zhuang was arrested in Tewu County, expanding to 800. As a result, he died and was killed and returned to his original form.

The one who stood up to Ruchen's confidants during his lifetime was all erect. All the soldiers were erecting their chests, hoping to get the favor of the new commander and continue to ride on the heads of ordinary soldiers.

"You minister, Sima, who is close to the guards, come out!"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally seventy or eighty people stepped out. You Chen was eating empty salary and squeezing ordinary soldiers for food. They were the ones who followed Xingjun to do evil on the way. This was also the generation who did this.

The fifth official voice is full of official style: "The army Sima is the leader of the general, and he is a short-soldier and personal guard. Why are you the only one?"

The leader explained that part of the group followed Ruchen died in battle that day.

Unexpectedly, Di Wulun's face turned stern: "Then why don't you die?"

"Ah?" Everyone was shocked.

The fifth reunion shouted: "Military law, if the chief officer dies and the personal guards are not strong enough to protect them, they will be executed according to the law. The seventh reverie is the first to crow!"

"promise!"

"Abduct all those people!"

Seventh Biao had already been waiting behind with two hundred Zhu Tufeng from the Fifth Battalion, and immediately pressed the seventy or eighty people to the ground when he heard this. Someone turned his head and shouted injustice: "Fifth Sima, we are not by your Sima that day!"

Wu Lun lowered his head and asked, "Why aren't you here?"

"Because, because of your Sima, you ordered us to station in the barriers."

Wu Lun was furious: "This is the reason why you don't try your best to protect Ru Sima? Is the barrier held? If I hadn't arrived in time, this place would have been taken away by the thieves, and he would have been guilty!"

After saying that, the group of people were pushed out of the barrier by Di Qibiao and others and knelt on the ground.

If all seventy or eighty people are killed, someone will definitely be wronged.

But one is killed by another, there are definitely omissions!

This scene shocked everyone, and the Fifth Reunion began to name the name again. He looked at the remaining 300 people, who were ragged and thin, and looked very big. They were all under Ruchen's command in the past six months, under Ruchen's command, who were bullied by these short-lived guards, and were urged by the spear and whip to push the carriage and carriage for more than 2,800 miles, and survived by luck.

Some people also lived a good life in this county. Suddenly one day, Ruchen sent a close guard to the door to collect grain, and even the people were arrested as strong men.

"The guards and guards all committed death crimes. Now there is a lack of people who will be executed. Who would you do that?"

No one responded for a long time. After a while, my thin hands were raised: "I..."

With the first one, the next, the more hands raised, gradually becoming a forest. They were all bravest among the people, their eyes were red, and their hearts were filled with anger of revenge and venting anger.

"I want to!"

After a while, hundreds of people were raised from the group of short men, Zhu Tufeng Yong, each of them fired a ring-headed sword, aimed at the tightly tied guards, and raised them tremblingly.

Both sides looked at each other, and those who were arrogant in the past have now become prisoners, while those who were trampled on their feet in the past have become executioners.

The verdict has been handed over to the Zhu Tufeng brave men, and the fifth reunion asked them: "Do you think there are those who do good deeds and accumulate virtues in them, and they will not die in the crime?"

As Zhu Tufeng Yong pointed out one by one, five or six of them were called and left the death penalty ranks, and were like being amnesty, bowing to the fifth reunion.

"Don't thank me, thank you and yourself."

As for the others...

The fifth relationship was on the obstacle and raised his hand high. If he had just traveled through time, he would definitely not be able to accept this scene. When did his heart become hard? Was it when Yang Xiong died or the sin he witnessed on these two thousand and eight hundred miles?

"I'm not just talking about it!"

As the fifth order arrow was thrown down, the sword lights were bursting, and blood dyed the land outside the barrier red. Crying sounds resounded throughout the Qin Canal and the Han Canal, without any sympathy, only joy!

"kill!"

"kill!"
Chapter completed!
