The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 629
Going north to Taihang Mountain, He Weiwei is so hard!
Yang Changban heckled and bent, and the wheels were destroyed.

How bleak the trees are, and the sound of the north wind is sad.

Xiong Feng squatted at me, the tiger and the leopard crowed on the road.

——Excerpt from "Bitter Cold Journey" Cao Cao

……

According to the Yanmenguan military report, Bai Fu, a soldier and horse envoy of the Anbei Court, was assassinated by a Fusang assassin and died under a poisoned dagger. Five thousand Anxi Court cavalry were leaderless and stranded outside the Great Wall.

The Yunzhou rebels united with the Xi, Turkic and other tribes, assembled tens of thousands of grassland cavalry, and marched southward.

The Hedong Army stationed in Taiyuan Mansion, under the leadership of Wang Sili, the Jiedu envoy of Hedong, went north to Yanmen Pass to fight against the rebels.

East Road is empty!
The rebel army stationed in Youzhou City went south from Fanyang County, trying to pass through Jingxing Pass in Hengzhou, cross Taihang Mountain, and enter Hedong Road.

Once the rebels take the three basins of Taiyuan, Changzhi, and Linfen in Hedong Road, there will be no danger to the north of Luoyang, and the fall of Henan Road is just around the corner.

When the news reached Chang'an, the court was shocked.

Su Zong sat slumped on the dragon chair, his face was pale, and he asked in a trembling voice: "My dear friends, the situation is critical now, what should I do?"

All the officials looked at each other and sighed, no one had a better idea:
Last year, there was a mutiny in Xiangzhou, and Wei Lun, the prefect of Shangzhou, went out to attack.At the end of the year, Wei Lun wiped out the rebels and escorted the rebel leader Kang Chuyuan to the capital to behead him.

After a few months, Xiangzhou was in chaos again.Generals Zhang Weijin and Cao Yu of Xiangzhou gathered together to raise troops, beheaded Shi Hong, the Jiedu envoy of the Eastern Road War Zone in Shannan, and occupied the city of Xiangzhou to rebel.

The imperial court urgently ordered Lai Zhen, the Jiedu Envoy of the Shaanxi Theater, to be appointed as the Jiedu Envoy of Shannan Dongdao, and led the army to Xiangzhou to suppress the rebellion, prevent the rebels from invading south, and ensure the Jianghuai money and grain transportation line in Nanyang;
In the first month of this year, the Dangxiang tribe of the Qiang nationality encroached on the territory of the Tang Dynasty and approached the capital.
Now the main force of the Tang army led by Li Guangbi is restrained by Shi Siming in Luoyang, Heyang, and Shanzhou.

Today's Tang Empire is like a dilapidated thatched shed, with air leaks everywhere, unbearable from wind and rain.

……

Once the confrontation balance between the Tang army and the rebels was broken, the Tang army's strength was stretched, and it was really powerless to fight against the rebels pouring in everywhere.

Prince Li Chu saw the solemn atmosphere in the court hall, and all the officials were wise and silent, and couldn't help becoming anxious.He took a step forward, stood out of the squadron, bowed to the ground, and said: "Father, the only way to do it now is to ask Huihe to send troops from Mobei to the south, and together with Wang Sili, form a north-south attack and encircle the rebels at Yanmen Pass. "

Huihe is the master of tigers and wolves. The last time they regained Luoyang, they looted wantonly, which is still fresh in my memory:
After Huihe regained Luoyang, he plundered Luoyang for three days, swept away the treasury, and looted the markets and villages.

What is even more heinous is that when Huihe soldiers learned that many women were hiding in the two temples, they set fire to the temples.The fire lasted for more than half a month, causing tens of thousands of casualties.

Uighur soldiers also attacked Ruzhou (now Ruzhou, Henan) and Zhengzhou (now Zhengzhou, Henan) in Duji Province.With the assistance of local thieves and ruffians, Huihe soldiers searched and robbed from door to door, leaving the local people impoverished, and even had to cover themselves with paper clothes.

The Huihe soldiers stopped looting after the patriarchs of several big clans in Luoyang promised to donate more than [-] pieces of silk to Huihe.

Not only that, Suzong was also forced to agree to send [-] bolts of silk to Huihe every year, in order to get the eldest son of Huihe Khan, Ge Luozhi, to continue to lead cavalry to assist the Tang army in destroying the remnants of the rebels in Fanyang.

The imperial court was also forced to agree to an unfair silk horse trade with Huihe.

In order to win over Huihe, Suzong agreed to make a marriage with Huihe Khan Moyanchuu, and married his own daughter, Princess Ningguo, to the Khan in an unprecedented way.Previously, the marriage princesses between Datang and Fanbang were usually the daughters of the clan.

……

In view of this, several experienced and prudent courtiers resolutely refused to agree, and played tearfully: "Your Majesty, Huihe is the master of tigers and wolves. It is easy to ask God to send God away, but if you don't eat it dry, they will never withdraw their troops.

A little carelessness will be the disaster of Dong Zhuo at the end of Han Dynasty!Please think twice, Your Majesty! "

Prince Li Chu was furious, trembling all over with anger, pointing at these old ministers and said: "Don't just act like you are old-fashioned looking for the country, then tell me, what should we do? Could it be possible to invite heavenly soldiers and generals to come down to earth?!"

……

In the hall, there was a war of words and guns, and there was a quarrel.After several disputes, Suzong hunched over like a shrimp, with a splitting headache.He covered his head, waved his hands, and said: "I have made up my mind, so I will do as the prince said. Order the son of Gu Huai'en to go north and invite Huihe to send troops to serve the king!"

……

That night, a secret report on the speeches of the early court was delivered to Xuanzong. Xuanzong read it word by word, his face livid.

He said to Gao Lishi: "Li Heng is incompetent, this is to take Li Tang Jiangshan into it! I can no longer let him mess around. The coup must be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

Gao Lishi peeked at Xuanzong's face, and replied cautiously: "Saint, the coup d'état is extremely dangerous. If you are not sure that it is infallible, you can't act hastily!

The most urgent task now is to first solve the problem of sending troops from Huihe.If the saint promises, the old slave is willing to secretly contact the powerful family and use the power of the powerful family to interfere in the emperor's decision-making. "

Xuanzong snorted coldly, and said: "These great families are nothing but grass, I wish Li Tang Jiangshan would change his dynasty and let them sit on the dragon chair.

Especially after Master Xu's death, the powerful family headed by Changsun Yan became more and more alienated from Li Tang's royal family.

At the critical moment, relying on them, that's a fool's dream! "

Speaking of this, Xuanzong let out a long sigh and said: "Thinking about it now, I was too harsh on Grand Tutor Xu back then. If Grand Tutor was still there, he would be able to gather these powerful families together to share our worries and solve our problems.

These aristocratic families have gone through hundreds of years, intertwined and deeply rooted, and their strength is astonishing regardless of their talent reserves or money, food, and goods.If they had their full support, the imperial court wouldn't be afraid of clowns like Fatty An and Shi Siming.

Seeing this, Li Heng tried every means to get Li Chu to marry Dugu Xiaozhong, the legitimate daughter of the Dugu family, and abandon Shen Zhenzhu, a talented girl from the south of the Yangtze River.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and all the heroes competed for the Central Plains.

Emperor Taizu's ability to win the world is largely due to his sons: Prince Yin is familiar with government affairs, the prince supervises the country, and all officials are intimidated; King Qin and King Qi are skilled in bows and horses, and can lead troops into battle.Especially the king of Qin, who was well versed in the art of war, was well versed in the art of war, fought on the battlefield, and made great contributions to the emperor Taizu.

Li Heng originally had two good sons born on the same day, one literary and one military, complementing each other, but it is a pity that he destroyed the Great Wall and fell into such a passive situation.

Thinking of Tan'er often keeps me awake at night.

Tan'er looks very much like Emperor Taizong when he was young, skilled in bow and horse, and full of heroism.Among the emperors and grandsons, he has the highest martial arts, the most proficient art of war, and the most prestigious in the army.

If Li Tan, the King of Jianning, did not get along with Zhong Shi, the daughter of the Huben army, but obeyed his father's order to marry the daughter of Wen Xi Pei's family, no matter how courageous Zhang Liangdi was, she would not dare to collude with Li Fuguo and frame Tan'er .

For the so-called love, Tan'er not only lost the chance to become the crown prince, but also ruined her own life in vain.As a direct prince, but he can't understand his mission, he is really confused.

Sobbing and weeping, why is it too late!
Otherwise, it is a good time for Tan'er to show his talents and make great achievements today.

The crown prince Chu'er supervised the country, intimidated hundreds of officials, and shared the worries of the government for Li Heng; as the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses, Tan'er controlled the soldiers and horses and controlled the armies.He didn't worry about Jiedushi holding military power, but he was able to unify his command and mobilize King Qin's army to encircle and suppress the rebels with all their strength.

It's a pity that Li Heng, such a fool, was bewitched by the woman before the world was decided, and killed his son-in-law who was the most capable of leading the army and fighting, ruining the good situation with his own hands.

I, Li Longji, have great talents all my life, how could I give birth to such a fool.Stupid! "

Xuanzong was furious again, and smashed the jade cup in his hand to the gold brick on the ground, smashing it to pieces.

Gao Lishi hurried forward and said comfortingly: "Saint, this is the end of the matter, we can only look forward.

Today the world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits, and you are still needed to clean up the mess.You must take care of your dragon body and take the world as your duty! "

After Gao Lishi dissuaded him for a while, Xuanzong's mood gradually calmed down.

Xuanzong pondered for a moment, then said to Gao Lishi: "You tell Chu'er that it is my intention that he must choose a good marriage for Qingluan from a powerful family with five surnames and Qiwang.

Once Tan'er died, Chu'er had only this one biological sister.In times of crisis, his brother and sister must work together.

If the Dugu Clan and another big family are willing to cooperate sincerely and assist the Crown Prince together, Chu'er will be able to secure the Crown Prince's position! "

　Going north to Taihang Mountain, He Weiwei is so hard!

　　Yang Changban heckled and bent, and the wheels were destroyed.

　　How bleak the trees are, and the sound of the north wind is sad.

　　Xiong Feng squatted at me, the tiger and the leopard crowed on the road.

　　There are few people in the valley, what a snowfall!
　　I sighed with a long neck, and traveled far and wide.

　　How depressed my heart is, I want to return to the east.

　　The water is deep and the bridge is absolutely perfect, and the middle road is hovering.

　　Confused and lost the way, there is no dwelling in the dusk.

　　The day of travel is far away, and the people and horses are hungry at the same time.

　　Carrying the line to take the salary, the axe holds the ice.

　　Sadly, the poem "Dongshan" makes me sad.
