The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 51 Wedges
Jinmu Emperor Yonghe five years (AD 349)
In the first month of this year, Zhao Wang Shihu, the emperor, was changed to Yuan Taining.
The whole country of Zhao celebrated together to congratulate the new emperor on his enthronement.However, a despised and desolate place failed to catch up with this blessing. This place is the two prefectures of Yongliang and Liangzhou.

Yongliang has been bitter and cold since ancient times. At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, it was a place where Wei and Shu were contending for wars.During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, in order to enrich the population, the Qiang, Di, Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes moved here one after another, and mixed with the Han people.Therefore, the folk customs here are tough, and there are frequent fights with weapons. The Han people also have the custom of self-defense, and they have repeatedly resisted the imperial court.During the time of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, there was a disturbance in the function of the bald tree, and it took a lot of effort to suppress it.

Since the Yongjia Rebellion, this place has been the first of its kind. The Hu people plundered the prefectural and county government offices, and the Hu people fought in melee.Qi Wannian, a Di man, rebelled, was defeated and killed.His subordinate Li Te entered Hanzhong from this point, and he ate Bashu, and the regime was divided into Chenghan.In addition, this place is also an important road leading to the Western Regions of Liangzhou, a place that must be contested by military strategists, and various forces: the former Zhao, the later Zhao, the former Liang, and Qiuchi fought here.Therefore, from Chang'an to the west, the bones of the dead are exposed in the wild, there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and there is no one in ten within the city walls, and the desolation is like the beginning of chaos.

"Quack!" The annoying crows screamed in the sky, and a broken team was walking on the desolate ground.They were dispatched to Liangzhou to guard Liangzhou because of misfortune, and now passing by here, they are even more exhausted.This team is the guard of the East Palace under the former prince Shi Xuan: Gao Li.

"Gululu" drank all the water in the sheepskin pouch by himself, and then leaned against a dead tree to rest.

"Papa" The escort picked up the whip and hit the man straight, shouting: "You bastards are not doing your job well, and you are cheating on me, get up quickly."

"My lord, since ancient times, feng shui has rotated, and you have to forgive others." Suddenly, the leader of the queue came up and said to the man, "These brothers of mine followed the wrong master. Which of them One is not fighting for my country of Zhao, and taking the lead. This troubled world is changing, and today's master will not know where he will be buried tomorrow."

"You..." The man was about to explode.A follower next to him came forward and whispered for a while, and the man changed his expression and said, "Liang Du's words are true. Now I heard that King Zhao ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. If there is an amnesty, I think you will be released in a few days and you will not be exiled." pain." After finishing speaking, he put away the whip and only said "hehe".

Liang Du led the man and said solemnly: "Liang Du has thanked your lord here."

The sun gradually set in the west and sank into the Wei River, and the people were stationed on the bank. It was the elite of the army, who set up camps and strongholds. Soldier, who is a prisoner.

The team that had been walking for a day was exhausted, everyone had already fallen asleep, and after a while snoring was heard everywhere in the camp.

Kui Ye, Zhang Mao, the new governor of Yongzhou who came from Yecheng, entered the camp of the escort officer with the edict and his entourage.

"Brother Zhang, you can come, these bastard Gao Like has harmed me, and I heard that you will replace me when I come to Yongliang, a place where no shit can be seen?" The escort hurriedly invited him into the upper seat, and handed him Give him a water bottle.

"Exactly." The man quickly drank the water in the pot on the case.

The escort officer shouted: "I heard that King Zhao will amnesty the world as a rule when he ascends the throne. I will dissolve on the spot tomorrow to avoid this crime."

"Brother, please be safe and don't be impatient." Zhang Mao looked at him uncertainly.

The man only wondered: "Has the situation changed?"

Zhang Mao then showed him the edict to the faint candlelight. It turned out that Gao Li, who was exiled to Liangzhou this time, was not included in the amnesty.

Zhang Mao said: "Your Majesty is very troubled by the Shixuan Rebellion. I wish I could eat meat and sleep on skin."

The man read the imperial edict carefully for a long time, and said suspiciously: "Brother Zhang, I have heard that Shihu is dying. I am afraid that it is not the trick of your fellow Zhang Jackal. You want to establish the young prince Shi Shi, so as to avoid future troubles."

"Of course...cut the weeds and get rid of the roots." Zhang Mao laughed as he put away the imperial edict.

"Haha" the two laughed.

Early in the morning of the second day, at the beginning of Mao Shi, the sound of drums rang out everywhere, and Zhang Mao ordered someone to wake Gao Li up.

I saw those Gaoli people lined up in the camp one by one, and the boy said excitedly in front of Liang Du: "Last night I saw the envoys enter the escort's tent, it seems that today I will be pardoned and released. "

One person also said: "Yes, yes, if I think of Gao Li, attacking the city and pulling out the strongholds for the Zhao Kingdom, His Majesty will definitely sympathize with us."

Liang Du also looked happy, and everyone waited for the good news.

The sun was rising and shining towards the riverside, and there was still a little morning fog at this time.

I saw Zhang Mao with a solemn expression, surrounded by a group of guards, boarded the high platform in the middle of the camp, and the escort officer stood beside him.

Under the high platform, everyone held their breath and waited for the order.

Zhang Mao slowly unfolded the imperial edict, to the effect that: Donggong Gaoli has committed a serious crime, and he wanted to beheaded immediately, but God has the virtue of good life, and he has been exiled to Liangzhou, but his crime is still serious. He was sent to the garrison and never returned.Take away the horses you ride and the things you use.

Gao Li yelled: "Correction! Correction!"

But Zhang Mao held up the imperial edict impatiently, and said sharply: "Everyone can see clearly, this is the imperial edict of His Majesty the Emperor. Who would dare to disobey it?"

I saw the huge red seal on the edict, but it was eye-catching in the morning light.

Xixi's voice in the audience gradually calmed down, and one of Zhang Mao's guards was about to lead a high-powered horse, and the man guarded the horse and shouted: "My lord, my lord, this horse has been with me for many years, please don't take it away. "

The guard was ruthless and unreasonable, he just knocked him down with one punch, but Gao Li had already possessed force, but unexpectedly pushed him to the ground instead.The bystanders were shocked and wanted to chop off with their knives, but it was the horse who protected the master and knocked the guard away.The guard was furious and chopped it to death.

Gao Li held the horse's neck and wept, while the guard murmured: "It's really bad luck, it can only be sold as meat."

It's too late to say it's too late, Gao Li picked up the knife that the guard threw on the ground, and only stepped forward to pierce the cold.

Everyone was stunned by this scene, Zhang Mao said angrily on the stage: "Take it for me".

Liang Du looked at his companions, knowing that the situation was deteriorating, and if he didn't act, he would be a knife, and I would be a fish.He just winked, knowing left and right, he is a man who has experienced many battles, with a stride, he pushes away the guards and grabs Zhang Mao like a chicken.

Zhang Mao had never seen such a battle before, and shouted: "The strong man spares his life."

I saw Liang Du shouting: "Master Zhang, the king of Zhao bullied us too much. We Gaoli fought for the country for many days, but we ended up like this. Today, whether you die or not, you are still dead. Why don't you fight?"

After speaking, he cut off Zhang Mao's neck and threw the body straight into the Weishui River.

The accompanying soldiers were intimidated by their momentum, and they all put down their weapons and begged for mercy.

That day Liang Du shouted on the high platform: "Everyone, the world is in chaos now, King Zhao has no way, kill him back!"

"Kill it back!"

The sound resounded in the sky above the land of Yongliang, the fire of turmoil has been ignited, the land of Yongqin, the banks of the great river, the majestic Taihang, the land of Huaihe River, the border of Yanzhao, the prefectures of Qing, Xu, Yan, Bing, Hebei, and You There will be smoke everywhere again.

　Everyone must follow up. Murong Ba is only a fledgling now. I will definitely finish writing Murong Chui (Ba)'s legendary life. I implore everyone to support it.
