Chapter 240 Feiyan comes to surrender
The black magpie flies in the east wind and the swallow flies in the west. Yingying Yishui is seen every year. ----------Song Chen Shidao's "Bodhisattva Barbarian: Black Magpies Flying in the East Wind and Swallows Flying in the West"
It is said that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and Wang Yun were secretly tossing the matter of returning the capital to Luoyang, intending to use Yuan Shu's hand to escape Chen Long's control. How could Chen Long allow Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to get rid of his shackles so easily and increase the uncertainty of the unification of the world? He made a small plan and spread the rumor that Yuan Shu had secretly hidden the jade seal. The city was filled with uproar for a while. Wang Yun was furious and furious. Wang Yue disappeared immediately. Go to Luoyang to check this matter.
A few days later, before Zhang He's troops arrived, Gao Shun and Xun You's troops came back and brought back a mysterious girl. It turned out that after the rebels of Li Jue and Guo Si were driven away from Luoyang, they entered the wilderness between Bingzhou and Yongliang Prefecture. There were 30,000 people. In order to eat their stomachs, they often burned, killed and looted, almost becoming Bingzhou. The top bandits were more ruthless than the Huns and Xianbei cavalry. The people in the Hetao area were miserable. People who fled to Chang'an often complained about the cruelty and cruelty of Li Jue and Guo Bang.
At that time, Huang Gai and Xu Shu were stationed in the east city of Chang'an, while Gao Shun and Xun You were stationed in the north city. They accepted the refugees, appeased the people, and gradually became determined to wipe out the bandits. So Xun You proposed to unite Zhang Yan's troops to merge with the state, go deep into the Hetao along the Yellow River, clean up the banditry, and drive the defeated troops of Li Jue and Guo Si into the Kubuqi Desert. Although this battle cannot be settled once and for all, the first is to train the Qinglong Army's combat capabilities, the second is to help Zhang Ying eliminate the banditry in Bingzhou, resettle refugees in the Yellow River Basin to open up wasteland, and the third is to establish a coalition combat mechanism with Zhang Yan's troops. Gao Shun and Xun You took the initiative to volunteer and led nearly 20,000 Qinglong Army troops, all of whom were light cavalry armed to the teeth. They set out from Chang'an and drove directly along the Yellow River to Shangjun Gaonu County to join Zhang Yan's army.
Gaonu County, Shangjun, has city walls built in the former Qin Dynasty and local armed self-government. After Qin unified the six kingdoms, General Meng Tian led 300,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north. Later, he supervised the construction of the Great Wall and the Great Qin Straight Road, so the infrastructure was relatively complete. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were a large number of immigrants and garrison establishments, which led to unprecedented agricultural economic development in northern Shaanxi and other places. It was known as "New Qinzhong", which means as prosperous as Guanzhong. Yu Xu of the Han Dynasty described it in his "Zou Fu San Jun Shu" as "the water and grass are abundant and suitable for grazing, cattle and horses are connected to each other, and sheep are blocking the roads." The water and grass are directly connected to Yulin, an important town on the Han-Hungarian border.
Gao Shun and Xun You stationed troops in Gao Nu, training their troops in the suburbs every day, waiting for Zhang Yan's soldiers to come and join them. On this day, the guards at the East City Gate saw dust rising on the east road and thousands of cavalry roaring in. They quickly reported to Xun You and Gao Shun and pulled up the drawbridge to question them.
The leader of the incoming soldiers was a female general. She was dressed in snow-silver armor and a white robe with a hunting sound. The silver-gray red tassel on her head suppressed her black hair, revealing her black and shiny ponytail, which was spread casually on her back. , fluttering in the wind, very free and uninhibited. Two medium-sized single-lidded beautiful eyes, hiding black pupils, the corners of the mouth were tightly pursed, the lower jaw was pointed, revealing a large dimple on the left side of the face, and in his hand was a sharp saber.
Speaking of this saber, it was given to her by Chen Long when he left. It was the Lingling standard saber designed by Chen Long himself. Gao Shun had sharp eyes and saw that the saber looked familiar at first sight. It turned out that when he lost to Zhao Yun, he suffered a lot from Lingling saber when he fell into the camp, so he recognized it at a glance and was stunned to see such a beautiful and sassy beauty in the city.
The beautiful woman waved her sword to stop the troops, pointed her saber at the city, and shouted loudly: "I am the commander of the Heishan Canal, the great Han Bingzhou Shepherd Zhang Yan, Lord Zhang, sit down, Chu Feiyan! Your master is Chen Long!"
Gao Shun saw that she was calling his lord by his first name. If it were a man, he would have gone down to the tower with a knife and fought with him. But the beauty in front of him called her lord by his first name, which showed that she had an unusual relationship with him, and he didn't dare to mess with her casually. Then she asked loudly: "Female General, wait a minute, do you have Master Zhang's token?" Chu Feiyan laughed and said, "I am his sister, does it count as his token?" The soldiers next to him also started to boo, calling them "Journey". When you are tired, quickly open the door and let the soldiers in to rest.
Gao Shun glanced at Xun You next to him and couldn't help but cough a few times when he saw that he was thoughtful. Sure enough, Xun You said: "I heard that Zhang Yan has a sister who has been through life and death with my lord. There is no doubt that she is her. Open the door quickly and ask two groups of archers to ambush inside the city wall. You and I will go down to greet her."
Gao Shun and Xun You led the garrison down to the city and opened the city gate to welcome him. When Chu Feiyan entered the city, someone led her soldiers to the camp to rest. Xun You ordered to reward the incoming troops with wine and meat. Chu Feiyan was full of questions about Chen Long. Xun You and Gao Shun both laughed secretly in their hearts, saying that their lord had the most love debts and was really popular with women. Gao Shun quietly put his hands behind his back and made a safety and evacuation gesture to the archers at the top of the city.
Chu Feiyan was still careless and completely unaware of Gao Shun's ulterior motives. She followed Xun You to the specially arranged courtyard to rest. Xun You ordered a few more servant girls to come and wait on him. Chu Feiyan said impatiently: "I'm here to fight, so why do I need so many servant girls? Lord Xun, why don't you explain the military plan in detail?"
Xun You had already made up his mind, and he made plans with Gao Shun and others in Chu Feiyan's small yard. It happened that the Xianbei general Xie Guini was also the leader of Gaoshun's army, and he happened to serve as the army leader.
Xun You said: "In the past few days, reconnaissance cavalry has been out everywhere, and a lot of rumors have been picked up. In the Hetao area in the northwest, there have been soldiers and horses recently. There are thousands of people, neatly dressed, they seem to be the original Xiliang soldiers, mixed With some miscellaneous Qiang soldiers. Our troops can go north to Yulin first, rectify the supplies and then go straight to the Hetao, march along the Yellow River, clean up the camp fortifications built by the enemy and bandits along the river, so that they do not dare to get too close to the water source. Once the rebels There is a shortage of food and water, and they either have to fight to the death, or they have to flee all the way west into the Gobi Desert, and the towns near the Yellow River can have peace for a few years." After hearing these words, Gao Shun and Chu Feiyan nodded frequently.
The Hetao area mentioned by Xun You refers to the great plain where the "Ji" bend of the Yellow River and its surrounding basins are located. The Hetao area has provided the Chinese nation with rich cultural and living resources since ancient times. Folk proverbs also say that "the Yellow River has many harms, but only one thing is rich." This kind of terrain in the Hetao is unique among the major rivers in the world. The surrounding areas of the Hetao, including the Huangshui River Basin, Tao River Basin, Luo River Basin, Wei River Basin, Fenshui River Basin, Sanggan River Basin, Zhangshui River Basin, and Hutuo River Basin, all have relatively good natural environmental conditions, and they surround the Hetao. The region, like stars holding the moon, has pushed the Hetao civilization to its highest peak, and at the same time spread the Hetao civilization to a wider area. There are many long-established irrigation channels, such as Qin Canal, Han Canal, etc., which makes the Hetao Plain area known as "the South of the Yangtze River".
Since then, the Qinglong Bingzhou Allied Forces set out from Yulin, the gateway to Hetao, and fought dozens of large and small battles with various rebels and bandits, and achieved a complete victory. Gao Shun was good at leading troops, and with Xun Gongda strategizing and knowing the way, he was naturally invincible. The happiest person was Miss Chu Feiyan. Because she easily won the battle every day, she was so happy that she could only focus on advancing. On this day, she was suddenly blocked by a strong force in the Wuding River Basin of Shuofang County. They were fighting fiercely. At that time, ambushes suddenly appeared in all directions, and Chu Feiyan was defeated, losing more than a thousand men and horses. Fortunately, Gao Shun's troops arrived in time, suppressed the rebels, rescued the eldest lady Chu Feiyan, and withdrew the troops twenty miles to camp.
Xun You knew that he had encountered the main force of the rebels, so he fought steadily. The two armies fought in a stalemate, with each other winning or losing. Xun You was surprised by the rebels' use of troops, and asked him to inquire about the opponent's coach, but he was unknown. Thinking about it, he must have a fake name. Later, the rebels ran out of food and retreated, and Xun You led his troops to chase them back to the Gobi. Although there were small victories along the way, the rebels retreated successfully and did not lose their strength. They only captured many veterans. From then on, the Hetao area was basically peaceful, and Qiang, Hu and Han people lived together and lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Xun You learned from the veterans that the leaders of the powerful Han soldiers were Li Jue and Guo Si who had changed their names to hide their identities. Xun You suspected that Li Jue and Guo Si had no such strategy. The veteran said that there was indeed a military adviser behind the scenes, but this person was very low-key and never attended events. When he appeared, he always wore long hats and black gauze, so no one knew His exact identity.
Yulin is located in the northernmost part of Bingzhou, at the junction of the Loess Plateau and Mu Us Sandy Land. It is the transition zone between the Loess Plateau and the Inner Mongolia Plateau. It borders the Yellow River to the east, Junggar to the west, Gaonu to the south, and Shuofang County to the north. It is the junction of Bingzhou and the areas controlled by the Hu and Qiang of Xianbei. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Gao Shun, Xun You, and Chu Feiyan stationed troops in Yulin for another three months, helping the residents to graze their fields and resume production, until news came that the lord Chen Long was about to visit Chang'an again.
Chu Feiyan was the first one who couldn't sit still. He made trouble every day to withdraw his troops. When he went to Chang'an to meet his lover, he only said that he regretted leaving Chen Long after listening to his advice. Xun You and others were so troubled by her quarrel that they also wanted to see their lord, so they finally decided to join forces and return to Chang'an, leaving only Xiegui Ni's five thousand cavalry to guard Yulin. Xun You asked him to make good use of local armed forces and focus on defense rather than attack, so he left with peace of mind.
The army galloped south along the Yellow River and stationed outside the north gate of Chang'an. Huang Gai greeted Huang Gai at the north gate and personally led Chu Feiyan, Gao Shun and Xun You to meet the lord. At this moment, senior officials from Chang'an gathered to meet with the lord to discuss countermeasures. However, Chu Feiyan forcibly blocked him outside Chen Long Gate and shouted: "Brother Long and I will meet first. No one is allowed to come in without calling you!" All the counselors and generals of the Three Kingdoms looked at each other. Who dares to offend this hot future sister-in-law?
Chu Feiyan really flew into Chen Long's arms like a flying swallow into the forest. She was so lovesick for many days that she had already cried bitterly and complained about why Chen Long had abandoned her for so long. Chen Long waited until she cried happily, then slowly coaxed her, and at the same time called Cai Yan, Tong Feifei, and Zou to meet her. Before Chu Feiyan could get jealous, she suddenly saw that Cai Yan had become Chen Long's wife and was holding a baby. She was so happy that she felt as if she had married Chen Long, and immediately gave the little one a nickname, Hui Hui. Chen Longxin said, why does Hui Hui sound so unpleasant? He is really good at naming. On the surface, of course, he pretended to accept it happily, but Chen Long was also a little afraid to offend this sharp-tongued and fussy-hearted young lady.
When Chu Feiyan had made enough trouble, Chen Long promised her not to separate again, then he let Xun You, Xu Shu and others come in to discuss matters. Cai Yan didn't know much about military affairs, and his children were still young. Since he returned to the back hall with the Zou family, Tong Feifei and Chu Feiyan were both good-tempered and beautiful, and were willing to follow Chen Long to fight, so the military meeting was held among a group of men. with two beauties.
Xun You and Chu Feiyan talked about their fighting experience in the Hetao area, especially about the mysterious military advisors of Li Jue and Guo Si's troops. Chen Long pondered for a long time and thought to himself: "This person is so talented, could it be him?"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
