Chapter 305: The choice of merging states
Fei Qian lowered his head and did not express gratitude before leaving. Instead, he kowtowed and said, "I... have asked you to be transferred to Bingzhou to guard the vassal state, protect the country, open up territory for the Han Dynasty, and prevent Huma from crossing the Yin Mountains! "
Dong Zhuo stared at Fei Qian, his blood-red eyes seeming to distinguish whether Fei Qian was sincere or fake, and said in a deep voice: "Bingzhou is a bitter and cold place with constant disputes all year round. Have you thought about it?"
Dong Zhuo himself has been fighting against the Qiang and Hu for many years, and he is well aware of the difficulty of being on the border. Not to mention the barren land and people, he is often in a state of big battles and small battles every day. It can be said that he is in danger all the time.
When Bian Zhang and Han Sui rebelled, various forces such as Song Yang, Beigong Yu, and Li Wenhou in Liangzhou were intertwined, and the chaos was so great that even many ministers at the time, Huangfu Song, Sun Jian and other generals, and even Dong Zhuo himself The battle was defeated. Later, Captain Zhang Wen only won a temporary victory. He was immediately attacked by Bian Zhang and Han Sui, killing several ministers in succession. Jincheng Governor Chen Yi and Protector Qiang Colonel Ling Zheng all died in this battle. In the end, Han Sui He turned against Bian Zhang, causing the rebels themselves to be in chaos, and finally ended hastily. The fierce battle and the brutality of the scene can be seen.
So when Fei Qian offered to go to Bingzhou to guard the border, Dong Zhuo still appreciated this move. At least compared with these ministers of the dynasty, he was more energetic and responsible, and the most important thing was not to talk about Dong Zhuo. It is very important to not only do things for the big man, but to actually do things for the big man.
Everyone also looked at him sideways.
Because a group of Shandong nobles led by Yuan Wei who were present, although they had not personally gone to the battlefield, knew that Bingzhou was not a peaceful place either.
Although the Huns are no longer a serious concern of the Han Dynasty, the Xianbei and Qiang Huque bordering them have become a new source of problems. What''s more, even the southern Huns have also rebelled, and the subsequent impact is still uncertain. At this moment, Fei Qian took the initiative to ask for help, and his ambition was commendable.
?Fei Qian was silent for a long time, then kowtowed again.
?Dong Zhuo smiled with his hands and said "good", and then he stopped talking.
Yuan Wei and others have no objections to this matter, because this matter will not affect the interests of the Shandong gentry, and guarding the border is a need for the rulers, both for Dong Zhuo and the Shandong gentry. An important thing to pay attention to is that even if Yuan Wei and others defeat Dong Zhuo in the future, they will still need personnel to guard the border.
Therefore, Yuan Wei and others did not have any intention to hinder Fei Qian.
The key is that the Bingzhou Army is already under Dong Zhuo''s hands. If Dong Zhuo is willing to give part of it to Fei Qian, it will also relatively weaken Dong Zhuo''s strength. If he is unwilling to divide his troops, then no one wants the mess of Bingzhou. Since Fei Qian is willing to go Just pick it up and go...
Since no one in the court has spoken out to object, it is almost settled. As for what position Fei Qian will go to Bingzhou according to, there is no rush now. Anyway, we can just wait for the final decision by the Chancellor. The scene cannot be decided immediately, so Zhang Liao and Fei bowed quietly and then left.
After leaving the North Palace, Zhang Liao and Fei Qian walked side by side and walked west along the avenue.
Because this summons was just a temporary court meeting, not a formal court meeting, it only started at noon. By the time Zhang Liao and Fei emerged from hiding, the sun had already begun to set in the west, and the reddish The sunlight spread out, dyeing everything in Luoyang City a layer of red and yellow.
Zhang Liao looked at Fei Qian, who was walking silently, several times, and finally asked: "Zi Yuan, why are you...?" Bingzhou is not a good place. It turns out that Fei Qian was good in Jingxiang, even in Luoyang. If you can’t stay any longer, you can also go back to Jingxiang. Why did you choose to go to Bingzhou?
?Zhang Liao, who has been in Bingzhou for many years, naturally knows the situation of Bingzhou. Although this Bingzhou is called a state, its actual strength and population are not as good as even a large county in the interior...
?Furthermore, although the Southern Xiongnu nominally surrendered to the Han Dynasty, in fact they remained wild and rebellious. In order to calm people''s hearts and make the Han people think that the Han Dynasty was a stable and stable court, many times it was just recorded and simply described, without letting more people know about it.
As for Zhang Liao, who was from Bingzhou, he obviously knew very well about these situations.
Zhang Liao slowly walked forward with Fei Qian while slowly talking about the fact that for so many years in Bingzhou, swords and guns basically never stopped...
A typical thing is that in the ninth year of Yanxi, Xianbei heard that Zhang Huan, who was quite famous in the north at that time, had left and returned to the court to serve as a chief agricultural officer. The Xianbei people thought this was an opportunity and colluded with the southern Xiongnu. , and recruited the Wuhuan people to fight into the fortress through multiple routes, plundered nine border counties, and killed countless people.
Later, the imperial court again worshiped Zhang Huan as the Zhonglang General who protected the Xiongnu, with the rank of Jiuqing. He was in charge of the three prefectures of You, Bing, and Liang, as well as the two camps of Liao and Wuhuan. He was also responsible for the appointment and dismissal of officials of two thousand stones and below. Power, authority is temporary. Zhang Huan dispatched multiple armies to carry out encirclement and suppression. Fearing their power, the Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan surrendered and returned the plundered population of about 200,000... This was a large-scale invasion and plunder, and those who were small-scale were More. Even as late as the fourth or fifth year of Zhongping during the Ling Emperor period, there were still Southern Xiongnu "Kou Bian" -
In December of the fourth year of Zhongping, Xiu massacred various Hu rebels...
In the first month of spring in the fifth year of Zhongping, Xiu massacred all the Hu Kou Xihe, and killed the county guard Xing Ji...
In March, Xiu slaughtered all the barbarians and attacked and killed Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou...
Zhang Liao did not speak heart-wrenchingly, but the calmer the words, the deeper the emotions hidden underneath.
??Every time the barbarians invaded the border in these years, as a soldier guarding the border, what I heard and saw, the tragedies in the world, I really saw too many, and the pain was too deep.
?Every time the barbarians invaded the border, the first to be harmed were not the senior executives and nobles in Luoyang, but the soldiers guarding the border, and then the Han people in the border counties.
The Southern Xiongnu are said to be Hu people who were naturalized in the Han Dynasty, but in the final analysis they are still Hu people. The point is that whoever has a bigger fist can rule everything.
The fifth year of Zhongping was 188 AD, which was two years ago.
?At the crossroads, Fei Qian slowly stopped, turned around and cupped his hands to Zhang Liao beside him, to thank Zhang Liao for his kindness.
"Brother Wenyuan, some things always have to be done by someone... What''s more, with the current situation in Luoyang..." Fei Qian looked back at Beigong and sighed, "... I would rather face the swords and guns of the barbarians. I don’t want to face the backstabbing of my compatriots again…”
?Zhang Liao was stunned and speechless.
Fei Qian offered his hand again, said goodbye to Zhang Liao, and headed west towards the setting sun. He saw that his figure stretched so long under the shining of the setting sun...
Guan Yu suddenly remembered and said: I brought you some snacks.
He took out Luoyang cakes from his pocket. Unexpectedly, he passed five passes, killed six generals, and rode alone for thousands of miles. He had already flattened or rotten the cakes and lost their shape.
Liu Bei looked at the snacks and smiled softly.
Guan Yu blushed and said, "I can''t eat anymore!" "
Pick it up and throw it away.
Xuande reached out to take it and said: I like to eat.
