Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 386 Who Can Guard the Clouds

Fuzhou, also known as Fugu County in later generations, is located by the Yellow River, backed by northern Shaanxi, facing the desert, and is the intersection of the Loess Plateau and the Mongolian Plateau.

The complex mountains and rivers have resulted in the rugged and unique terrain of Fuzhou. Although it looks flat at first glance, it is very far away when you walk. It is said to be a plateau, but it is actually a mountain.

Not to mention the uphill and downhill travel, there are only certain mountain and river passes in many places.

But there are also advantages, that is, Fuzhou has since become a natural barrier to prevent the grassland people from going south.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Khitan tried to go south from here several times but could not break through. Xixia also hoped to annex the two prefectures of Linfu and threaten Jinyang, but they were all blocked by Fugu Zhejia.

Of course, it is not enough to rely on the advantages of geography alone, and the suffering caused by geography must also be added.

There are many mountains and few flat lands in the two prefectures of Linfu, so survival is difficult, but because of the hardship of survival, people have a tenacious temperament and endure hardships.

In addition, the two prefectures of Linfu are facing the desert, so there is a custom of riding horses among the people, and there are more cavalry, and because there are many mountains and forests, the folk customs are sturdy, and at the same time, they are good at wandering in the mountains.

Historically, the Zhe family and the Yang family of Linfu Erzhou were able to resist the party in the west and resist the Khitan in the north because of the hard-working people in Linfu Erzhou who could not only mount horses and shoot, but also dismounted to drill into the forest.

When Luo Yuer arrived at Fuzhou City with thirty elite cavalry under the escort of Fuzhou mountain people, the entire Fuzhou City was at its most tense moment.

The four gates of the state city were closed tightly, and there were more than a dozen soldiers checking all the way. It was almost half an hour after Luo Yu'er explained his intentions, before the soldiers on the city opened the gates and let Luo Yuer enter the city.

In the cave of the city gate, Luo Yu'er was greeted by a general about his age, about 20 years old, tall and heroic.

"Is this the special envoy of His Royal Highness King Han of Hexi? Xiazhe Dejian (yi three times) is the Mabu Capital School of the Yong'an Army Yamen. My father is waiting for the special envoy at the office."

"It turned out to be Zhe Ya Nei face to face." Luo Yu'er bowed her hands very politely.

"I am under the command of the King of Han in Hexi, and I am here to pay a visit to Commander Zhe Jie, following the orders of the King of Han!"

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Luo Yuer asked a little strangely: "It's almost winter now, and it's the season to stock up for the winter. The four gates of Fucheng are closed, maybe it's inconvenient?"

In fact, Luo Yu'er didn't say anything in her heart, wouldn't this be to prevent us from returning to the rebel army?

It's still three hundred miles away. As for being so cautious?

Zhe Deqian has always been intelligent, this is Yang Wudi's father-in-law, Zhe (She) Taijun's father, immediately saw that Luo Yu'er had misunderstood, hurriedly cupped his hands, and said with a sad face.

"This matter was all caused by the court's cession of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and Khitan. Our prefecture is also being ceded. Nayelu Deguang has ordered that all the people in the prefecture be moved to Liaodong to enrich the place. People are panicking."

Luo Yuer froze for a moment, and then an angry light appeared in his eyes. He, who was born in the rebel army, could best understand the helplessness and anger of being betrayed by the court.

"Fuzhou is backed by mountains, facing the desert, and the big river passes by. There are dangers of mountains and rivers. It will be cut off from Khitan sooner or later, and what will come later!"

Zhe Dejian saw Luo Yuer clenched his fists tightly, resentment did not seem to be fake, he immediately felt that this person could be friends.

"Commander Luo's words are correct. With the loss of the two prefectures of Linfu and the loss of Pingfan in the northwest, why didn't the court understand?"

Luo Yuer sneered twice, "If there is a wise lord in the court, why would my Guiyi army be trapped in Hexi for hundreds of years and have to save ourselves."

While scolding the court, the two walked towards the office of the Yong'an Army Jiedushi.

Zhe Congyuan was born in the second year of Tang Zhaozong's Dashun, AD 891. He is 48 years old this year. He is tall, elegant, and gentle with others. He does not seem to be a general who holds military power at all.

He is still called Zhe Congyuan now. Historically, after Liu Zhiyuan entered Tokyo to establish the Later Han Dynasty, Zhe Congyuan changed his name to Zhe Congruan to avoid Liu Zhiyuan's taboo.

"After hearing about King Han's Zhongliang for a long time, five generations of people have never forgotten their homeland for 200 years, and they finally returned home in [-] prefectures. They are sincerely a model for the world. If the situation is not tense now, they must go to Xiazhou and have a meeting with King Han."

Zhe Congyuan is a smart man, Guiyi Army and Ding Nan Army, no matter who is bullying the other, it has nothing to do with Zhe Congyuan, as long as they don't come to make trouble with his state.

Moreover, Zhe Congyuan also felt that Zhang Zhao would not be foolish enough to come to Fuzhou's attention.

Because the Yong'an army in the second state of Linfu is different from the Dingnan army in Yinxia Yousui.

Their Zhe family lived in Yunzhou (Datong), Zhe Congyuan's grandfather Zhe Zongben, but he used to follow Jin Wang Li Ke.

Therefore, Zhejia is not a semi-independent town like the Li family of Dingnanjun, but belongs to Daibei Wuxun's circle, but it can only be regarded as leftovers.

But it was this kind of leftovers that ensured that they would not become Zhang Zhao's target at least for now.

Shi Jingtang, including Daibei Wuxun, would regard this as dog-eat-dog, but if they attacked Fuzhou Yong'an Army, it would be almost like a rebellion.

This king of Han made a lot of noise, and finally returned to the country with eighteen states, and finally reintegrated into the Central Plains. If he is not regarded as Tubo, he will naturally not want to destroy his reputation of returning home with loyalty.

Hearing that Zhe Congyuan admired Zhang Zhao so much, and had a pleasant chat with Zhe Dejian just now, Luo Yuer immediately looked at Zhe Congyuan differently, and he cupped his hands.

"When my servant came to Fuzhou, the King of Han also said to my servant that Jiejieshuai has defended the country for decades, and he is a role model for us warriors. He ordered me to see Jieshuai and treat him as a superior."

"Hahaha!" Zhe Congyuan still laughed heartily despite being entangled in all kinds of things and facing the threat of Khitan.

"His Royal Highness King Han is really absurd, defending the border for the country is me, an old soldier, and it is my duty to break the family!

It's a pity that now the Khitan is powerful and is besieging Yunzhou, and the imperial court has made us unable to support it. A certain man has been guarding the border for decades, and today he wants to see Yunzhou fall. Alas! "

A long sigh, how sad, how helpless.

Luo Yu'er's eyes widened suddenly, he also knew why Fuzhou was facing an enemy like this, it turned out that the Khitans had arrived.

"Yunzhong is still in the hands of China? Which general is guarding it?"

"The person who guards Yunzhou is Sha Yanxun, the Jiedu envoy of the Datong Army, and Wu Luan, the judge of Datong!" Zhe Congyuan cupped his hands to the sky, saying with emotion.

"Since the imperial court ceded the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, Yelu Deguang, the ruler of Khitan, sent people to take over Yunzhou many times, but they were all rejected by Sha Yanxunsha.

This time, he directly led an army of [-] people to come in person, and tricked Commander Sha Jie into going out of the city to meet him, and immediately proceeded to detain him.

Since then, the Lord of the Khitan Kingdom has personally led an army to attack the city, and it has been five days so far. I don't know how Yunzhou is now? "

"Our ancestors won this place in a bloody battle, and guarded our family for thousands of years. Today, the northern land is ceded, and the Ping Fan in the north is lost. I don't know what to resist when the Khitan goes south in the future?"

Luo Yuer was born in the Guiyi Army, and his family has been a general of the Guiyi Army for several generations. The current governor of Suzhou, Luo Tongda, is his grandfather.

These years have followed Zhang Zhao in Anxi, Hezhong, and Tianzhu all the way, and he has long been infected by Zhang Zhao's national righteousness.

Now I heard that Yunzhou is about to fall, and Fuzhou will also be ceded. Under the agitation of my heart, I can't bear it.

"Marshal Zhejie has always been loyal, but can he defend this prefecture? Without Yunzhou, there are already loopholes in the border defense. If there is no prefecture, where else can we defend?"

Zhe Congyuan and Zhe Dejian, father and son, looked at each other. Since Shi Jingtang ceded Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, some of them scolded severely, some of them imitated secretly, some of them pretended to be.

But they are not as sincere as Luo Yuer is today, she is really heartbroken for the fall of Yunzhou, and also worried about the defense of the northern border.

This kind of heartfelt emotion cannot be faked. This Luo Yuer is only the commander of the Guiyi Army, and she is already so loyal. She must have been influenced by King Zhang Han on weekdays.

It can be seen that the Guiyi Army returned to the country with eighteen states, but it is really Guiyi!
"The general is a loyal man! In front of a loyal man, there is no need to hide Zhe. Even if the old man dies, he will never give up his prefecture to the Khitan people!"

Zhe Congyuan really didn't tell a lie, the rumor that the Khitan people wanted to move the people from Linfu and Erzhou to Liaodong was spread by Zhe Congyuan, in order to arouse the resistance of the people of the two states.

Hearing this, Luo Yu'er made a deep obeisance to Zhe Congyuan, "Before I came, King Han didn't know that there were still people standing in Yunzhou, and he didn't know that Zhe Jieshuai was so loyal, otherwise he would have to use some equipment to come, Jieshuai wait a moment, Let me leave for a moment."

Before Zhe Congyuan came to help Luo Yuer, Luo Yuer got up first, and then walked straight out of the house a little rudely, making Zhe Congyuan and Zhe Dejian look at each other.

But not long after, Luo Yuer and a few Guiyi soldiers walked in with something like armor, Luo Yuer bowed again and said in a trembling voice.

"Although I brought a hundred elite cavalry, all the horses, horses, armor and weapons were bestowed by the King of Han, and as a subject, I can't move them arbitrarily.

But now there are one set of Hexi cloth-faced iron armor, three sets of iron-barred armor, and three sets of Persian chain mail, all of which are our private property.

Wang Jieshuai puts the world first, and guards Linfu Erzhou, the last place of victory. "

Zhe Congyuan guessed a lot, but he didn't expect that Luo Yu'er was going to do this. Looking at the soldiers of the Guiyi Army who were holding armor, the head of the Zhe family who was nearly fifty years old screamed up to the sky, and there seemed to be something in his eyes. Tears are flickering.

He and his son Zhe Dejian both came over and bowed respectfully to Luo Yuer and the others.

"Since the imperial court ceded the prefecture, there has not been a single soldier or food support. A certain waited for several years, and could not wait for the imperial court's reinforcements, but he did not expect that it was Commander Luo and other righteous men. He still remembered that the two prefectures of Linfu were holding on.

This armor, a certain Zhe had the audacity to accept it from afar, please rest assured Commander Luo, and please report back to His Royal Highness King Han, that a certain person would rather die than become a Khitan slave! "

Immediately afterwards, Zhe Congyuan said to Luo Yuer: "A certain family and the Li family of the Dingnan Army belong to the same party, but they are not close. Their Tuoba Department has always wanted to annex our Zhe Excavation Department, and there have always been many fights.

Five years ago, after the Dingnan army disobeyed the imperial court's order and moved to the town, a certain party secretly conquered Xiang Luoli, Guiren and other departments of the Northwest Party of Xiazhou.

This time, let Quanzi go to Xiazhou with the commanding envoy, which can help a little bit. "

Luo Yuer also hurriedly handed over her hands to thank, if Zhejia came forward to recruit some Dangxiang tribes for the Guiyi army, it would also reduce the pressure of attacking Xiazhou.

In the end, Zhe Congyuan took Zhe Dejian's hand and said, "You personally select fifty elites who are proficient in Mandarin Chinese, and they will serve under the tent of King Han.

Now it is almost midwinter, Khitan people will not come at this time, if they can help King Han one or two credits, they should do their best. "
