Shu Chen

Chapter 302
Zhangye County, at the southern foot of Yanzhi Mountain, Shandan Ranch.

This war horse ranch built by Hussar General Huo Qubing himself, now only remains white and lonely.

Ma Dai was riding his horse slowly, watching the soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry set up their horses.

These horses include the stallions returned by Zhangye Haoyou, and the good horses collected by the Haoyou or Qianghu tribes after the Han army entered the Hexi Corridor to pursue the conquest of the Wei Dynasty.To reproduce the magnificent scene of thousands of horses galloping in the Shandan Ranch, or to use these horses as the basis for reproduction in the future.

This is also the reason why the Ma Dai Department came to station here.

Firstly, the rules and regulations of the prefectures and counties are roughly determined, such as ranch officials, herdsmen, etc. cannot be recruited for a while, so Xiliang cavalry who are familiar with the nature of war horses can only take care of them while guarding.

On the other hand, the generals of the Han Dynasty led the battle on horseback alone, and no one came out to the right of Ma Dai.

Since it is planned to expand the cavalry, he should personally supervise the cavalry from recruitment, training to combat practice.

Guarding a ranch and training new recruits with the official position of Zhenxi General seems to be overkill.

But this is Ma Dai, after the Battle of Lingju, specially asked Fei Yi to add a sentence to the statement transferred to the prime minister-if Hexi is restored, please prime minister Xu Dai to garrison Shandan as the country's horseman.

The reason is something that everyone can understand.

Ma Jiajun, who used to be the hero of Yongliang, has long since declined, and he is also old. It is reasonable to hope that he can regain the power of the Xiliang iron cavalry in his lifetime.

People leave their names, and geese leave their voices.

The more obscure reason is that after he entered Sichuan with Ma Chao, he acted cautiously, never made friends with others or made friends, and was not greedy for power or position.He also knew that due to the reputation of the Ma family in the past, it was difficult for him to garrison in Longyou, so he took the initiative to ask for orders to avoid it.

Therefore, Fei Yi, who was riding the horse beside him, was full of helplessness.

He specially came to Shandan Ranch, because he wanted to ask Ma Dai to dissuade Zheng Pu from taking action.

The matter has to start with Ma Dai and Jiang Wei chasing the Kewu tribe from the northern foot of Longshou Mountain.

At that time, Ma and Jiang, who learned the news too late, did not catch up before Kewu's tribe entered Jiuquan County.

However, when Jiang Wei was leaving, he found Zheng Pu to write the two letters to Pang Yu and Yang Feng, but they worked.

Pang Hao, who was sent a letter first, learned that Xuanwei was slaughtered all over the city, and immediately had all his beard and hair. Regardless of the differences between the Han and Wei Dynasties and his old age, he rode his horse and led the Han envoys to look for Yang Feng.Because the Han army asked to recommend several rangers as their eyes and ears, it was hard to find him who had been in charge of herdsmen for many years. Words are just a matter of waving one's arms.

Yang Feng also lived up to his expectations.

After Pang Hao told the whole story, he was filled with righteous indignation and shouted: "The lowly Qiang in Jincheng actually killed me in Hexi, so he deceived me that there are no righteous people in Hexi, and no one who dares to die!"

Out of righteous indignation and the concept of the closedness of Hexi region, he not only asked his close rangers to spread the matter and inquire about the whereabouts of the Kewu tribe, but also personally drove horses to visit the Qianghu tribe with whom he had a close friendship, and gathered nearly a thousand horsemen to join the Han army. Attack Kewu.

This is also the reason why Huang Huazhong rebelled, and Jiuquan County changed its flag.

The man from Hexi, who has always had a clear sense of grievances, used the reason that Huang Hua recruited Ke Wu to come to Jiuquan County, and decided that the killing of the city was the result of the two people's accomplices.

The Kewu tribe, who was placed in Huishui County by Huang Hua and whose foothold was not stable, also inevitably ushered in destruction.

Even though he had [-] control strings under his command, he was caught off guard by Jiang Wei and Yang Feng's two cavalry raids, and then was surrounded by Ma Dai's troops and captured all the women and children. drop.

The dispute between Zheng Pu and Fei Yi was over how to deal with these captives.

At that time, after receiving Jiang Wei's biography, Zheng Pu concluded that all the women and children of the Kewu tribe were demoted to official slaves and taken to Bashu for disposal. Their fate was to be bought by Haoyou as slaves or coolies.

Fei Yi has nothing to say about this.

But Zheng Pu also ordered Jiang Wei to escort all the young and strong of the Kewu tribe to Xuanwei County, and to separate out Liu Zhu, the Sima of the Qiang Guard Battalion, to take the corpses of the Kewu tribe who were killed in battle to the north of Longshou Mountain. Lu transported back.

Fei Yi didn't need to ask any questions, he could guess what Zheng Pu was going to do.

So he dissuaded Zheng Pu from doing so with reasons such as "it is ominous to kill prisoners" and "the great Han has never killed prisoners since the beginning of the first emperor".In desperation, even "This move hurts Yin and virtue! Zijin has no heirs in his thirties, why bother?", "Zijin will be the mainstay of the imperial court in the future, why bother to lose his reputation because of a mere Qiang tribe?" Wait for the words to come out.

Yes, Fei Yi is not sympathizing with the Kewu tribe.

Instead, he felt that the matter of killing prisoners should not be the first of its kind if he is not familiar with the good governance since the late emperor Liu Bei.

And it is not good for Zheng Pu's personal reputation.

However, Zheng Pu was unmoved, just saluted Fei Yi for his kindness, and rushed to Xuanwei County with his followers.

For this, Fei Yi was helpless.

With Zheng Pu's Tiger Talisman in hand, it is his duty to deal with prisoners of war, and he has no right to stop it.

And as soon as the order is issued, even if Jiang Weibu, who was ordered to act, has realized it, he will send the prisoners to the prison in accordance with the order.Counting the time, Fei Yi wanted to write a book and go to Longyou to ask the prime minister to stop him, but it was too late.

What made him even more helpless was that Zhuge Qiao, who was able to persuade Zheng Pu together, had already rushed to Dunhuang County at this time.

Because of the imperial court's rewards and official appointments to the Zhang family in Dunhuang County, it takes time to travel. As the son of the prime minister, Zhuge Qiao's entry into Dunhuang County is the best way to appease the Zhang family.

Therefore, when Zheng Pu rushed to Xuanwei County, Fei Yi also drove his horse to Shandan Ranch.

Ma Dai is the highest official among the generals in Hexi, and he is old. If he can speak out to dissuade Zheng Pu one or two times, maybe he can delay him until the letter from the prime minister arrives.

"Wen Wei's words are wrong."

Faced with Fei Yi's request, instead of agreeing, Ma Dai persuaded him, "When the former general faked Zijin Hufu, he specifically told me to obey orders, and anyone who disobeyed would be executed! Today, Zijin has no place beyond the rules. What am I waiting for? In my opinion, those who kill the city can declare the power of our great Han and deter the rest of the Qiang and Hu tribes from doing it again. Job, good life to appease the counties."

Uh.
After hearing this, Fei Yi was silent.

He actually forgot that Ma Dai was also involved in the great chaos in Yongliang in the past, and he has long been used to the revenge and killing of each other.

Naturally, he had no choice but to go back from Ma Dai's words, and no longer had the intention of dissuading Zheng Pu.

There is no way, it is unstoppable.

Those who are in the capital are high hills; those who watch are also que type.

The ancients killed thieves and won the battle, so they must build a Beijing temple, thinking of it as a place to hide the corpse.

In the 13th year of Jianxing (AD 235), in the middle of the first month, in Xuanwei City, Wuwei County, Zheng Pu killed all the captives of the Kewu tribe, piled up the corpses and sealed them with soil, and built a Beijing temple.

A stele was erected to record the whole story, and the stele was inscribed in the name of "Zheng Pu, the defender of Hanzhong".

Said: "Those who kill the people will be killed even if they are far away!"
