Northern Dynasties

Chapter 383
In mid-July, King Gao Huan of Bohai drove straight to Yedu to invite the Western Expedition, and the Xianbei people from the six states around Jinyang also began to gather under the auspices of She Digan, the grand master who stayed behind in Bafu.

The so-called six states are the six major military states of Heng, Yan, Yun, Wei, Xian, and Shuo. They were the six states converted from the six towns when the towns were withdrawn to form states during the Northern Wei Dynasty. The six states of Xianbei are equal to the six towns of Xianbei.The six military prefectures located here are distributed around Jinyang City, the closest ones are only within a few tens of miles, and the farthest ones are not more than a hundred miles away, and together surround the Jinyang Bafu.

In addition to the six prefectures, there are Erxia prefectures, Ling prefectures, Gaoping prefectures, and Pingliang prefectures around Jinyang. Abandon its land and move its people, and the overseas Chinese around Jinyang set up jurisdiction.

Most of the states and counties owned by these overseas Chinese are military states, and the population is full of soldiers. They are not under the jurisdiction of the local government and completely obey the orders of the overlord.Following the issuance of a convening order, the governors and chiefs of the states all summoned soldiers to Jinyang according to the military schedule.

Compared with the Western Dynasty, the mobilization efficiency of the Eastern Dynasty was much higher by several times.The Western Dynasty held a grand parade every year, and the mobilization cycle of the troops and horses would take at least one or two months. However, with the order of the Overlord of the Eastern Dynasty, tens of thousands of horses gathered outside Jinyang City in just a few days, and the rest had not yet arrived. The team is also coming here quickly.

The reason why the military mobilization efficiency of the Eastern Dynasty was so high was that the military cities of the various military states were distributed around Jinyang City, but such a simple layout was completely impossible for the Western Dynasty.The deeper reason is that the hegemony of the Western Dynasty was far inferior to the hegemony of the Eastern Dynasty in its ability to control and control the wealth and materials of the country.

It is true that the Guanzhong Plain embraced by the Western Dynasty is much larger than the Jinzhong Basin where Jinyang is located, but Jinyang not only has a supply in Jinzhong, but also has the vast land of Hebei to continuously transport materials, so Jinyang The surrounding areas of Yangyang can accommodate such a huge population, but Huazhou, where the Xichao Bafu is located, is far from being able to do so.

However, although the Eastern Dynasty was more efficient in gathering due to its wealth, it lacked experience in managing the gathering and distribution of such a large team.At the beginning, the gathering of personnel could proceed in an orderly manner, but as more and more troops stationed around Jinyang, all kinds of chaos gradually arose.

In an open area on the north bank of Jinshui, thousands of people gathered here, divided into two teams and confronted each other, shouting and cursing.

"Why do thieves occupy the upper reaches, get out of here!"

The team located in the east obviously has more people, nearly [-] people are all dressed in pale yellow hakama pleats, swarming noisily, looking from a distance, it looks like a cloud of sand sweeping over the hills.

Although the more than 300 pawns located in the west are not dominant in number, their momentum is not weak either. Facing Beiyu's own opponent, he also shouted unceremoniously: "The blind thief knows what I am waiting for!" Department? The general of my family was born in a close confidant of King Gao’s tent, if you dare to insult and harass me, be careful of your dog’s life!”

"Ha, the cronies in the bullshit account are just a slave under King Gao's command, but the master of the fathers is Xinyang Yuancong, and you are the bandit slaves who killed you!"

The people in the east were obviously not intimidated by the name of the cronies in the tent, they shouted insults, raised their sticks and started beating them.

The people on the opposite side were not to be outdone, and the two sides quickly scuffled. After all, the side with fewer soldiers was outnumbered, and gradually lost the wind. Some soldiers were directly driven into Jinshui, and they were about to be killed on the beach. The mud covered his waist, and he yelled in fear and begged for mercy.

"Stop! The camps of all ministries are planned in an orderly manner, and anyone who dares to disturb them will be punished!"

A tall general led dozens of horsemen galloping over from a distance. Seeing the scuffle scene here, Dang even drew out his saber and slashed towards the surroundings, yelling at the most ruthless people. Those people were shocked when they saw their companions being hit by the knife. Hu dodged and suppressed the scene for a while.

"Capture a few soldiers who are making noise and make trouble, and send them to the mansion for punishment!"

The name of the general who rushed over was Zhao Daode, a servant of the high king's family. To put it nicely, he was a cronies in the tent, and to put it badly, he was naturally a servant of the poor.

But as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog. Zhao Daode's background is indeed quite intimidating. When he arrived, the crowd around him gradually dispersed, not daring to join in the fun.Even the soldiers in the east, who had been arrogant because of their numbers and strength before, were all languid now and dared not shout in front of Zhao Daode anymore.

"Zhao Nu is so brave, how dare you arrest my subordinates!"

An extremely arrogant voice sounded from elsewhere. The visitor was in his early thirties, wearing a white single-clothes, a gold crown on his head, and locks of hair made of precious stones. He was not tall, but looked very luxurious.

"City Lord Xu is here, City Lord Xu is here!"

Seeing this person coming, the spectators all applauded and cheered, and some even ran ahead and chased after him. The followers of City Lord Xu threw money at these people under the signal of their master.

The name of the visitor was Xu Xianxiu, and his official position was Sima of Weizhou. Weizhou was relocated to Huaihuang Town, and the overseas Chinese were located in the north of Jinyang.The northern part of Jinyang is mostly where Hu merchants are distributed. The Weizhou military leaders who set up their cities there naturally benefited from the favorable location. The troops may not be the most powerful in the six states, but their financial resources are the leaders of the six states.

Although Xu Xianxiu is not very old, and his meritorious service is not considered great, but his grandfather was a general of Huaihuang town, so many military leaders from Huaihuang had close ties with him. Therefore, Xu Xianxiu was able to own a military city under Weizhou. Qu quite strong.

When Zhao Daode saw Xu Xianxiu and his party approaching in a ostentatious manner, his face became rather ugly. Although he was a trusted family slave of King Gao, he did not dare to be too presumptuous when facing Xu Xianxiu, a town general with a deep background. Looking at Xu Xianxiu Squeezing out a smile, he said, "The last general dares to offend City Lord Xu's military might, but the camps of all the troops are designated by cavalry Cao, so it's really not easy to do it casually..."

Snapped!
Before Zhao De finished his words, he received a horsewhip from Xu Xianxiu head-on.

"Get off the horse, dog slave! What kind of bastard are you, you can sit on a horse in front of me and listen to training without courtesy!"

Xu Xianxiu pulled it off, and ordered his subordinates to pull Zhao Daode off his horse and put him on the ground, lowering his head and sneering, "Don't want to scare me with the government's regulations, the cavalryman Cao Zhaoqi belittled my troops, and I will find him later. But Damn you for daring to injure my people!

Ha, your daughter was killed in Xishan Bieye by Mrs. Lou for negligence in her service a few days ago. You, a lost old dog who hates your master, dare to show your power in front of others?I will teach you a lesson today! "

While speaking, Xu Xianxiu ordered his subordinates to throw Zhao Daode into the mud of the river beach, and the spectators around laughed and clapped their hands after seeing this.

However, these chaotic boos soon subsided from far and near. Xu Xianxiu was happily admiring Zhao Daode who was struggling in the mud, but soon realized that the surrounding atmosphere was different, and turned his head to look north. , his expression turned one side immediately, he hurriedly got off his horse, walked forward and said: "I have seen Grand Master Shedi!"

She Digan rode forward with a gloomy expression, gave Xu Xianxiu a hard look, raised his finger and pointed at the river beach and said in a low voice, "Fill him out!"

After Xu Xianxiu heard the words, he nodded repeatedly, and was about to turn his head to order his subordinates, but She Digan said angrily, "I'll let you go down by yourself and get him out!"

Xu Xianxiu's face collapsed immediately when he heard this, the defiant attitude just now was gone, and seeing She Digan's menacing gaze, not daring to delay for a moment, he raised his leg and rushed to the river beach, ruining a huge It took Zhao Daode's strength to fish it out, and his neat clothes were naturally covered in mud, and he even lost a lot of gold and jade accessories on his body.

"If I hear you preaching about the Lord's family in front of people again, be careful of your life!"

She Diqian ordered his subordinates to pinch Xu Xianxiu on the ground in front of his horse, leaned over and said viciously.

"Don't dare, don't dare again..."

After hearing the words, Xu Xianxiu hurriedly touched his head to the ground, very witty.

As Gao Wang's sister-in-law and entrepreneurial leader, She Diqian has repeatedly commanded the army and has a high prestige, so Gao Wang arranged to stay in Jinyang to deter all military leaders.Because of his appearance, the farce quickly subsided, and the onlookers quickly dispersed.

At this time, in a military camp on the slope of Longshan Mountain in the northwest, two generals were overlooking the farce on the river beach. When the crowd dispersed, one of the older generals sighed: "A woman enters the country. There was a commotion among the crowd. Xu Xianxiu and other people who had close contacts with the Hu family saw Zhu Zhu entering the royal court, and they all scrambled to cling to him. Even Da Sima was involved in it, what a fortune..."

Now the western thieves are stealing Guanzhong, and the Silk Road trade only follows the line of Monan, and Monan is within the sphere of influence of Rouran, so those who have made a lot of profits from the Silk Road trade in the Eastern Dynasty today are all happy that Princess Zhuzhu can enter In Gao Wang's main room.

It is precisely because of the internal support of these military leaders with relevant interests that Rouran Tujia dared to be so arrogant in Jinyang. Otherwise, the current situation of Rouran's internal and external troubles alone is far from enough to bring such a strong deterrent to the Eastern Dynasty. .

As for Da Sima, Gao Wang's brother-in-law Wei Jing, who was greedy and indulgent by nature, was sanctioned by Gao Cheng, who was in power in Yedu. In order to bribe someone in China who intends to improve diplomatic relations with Rouran, he actually urged Gao Wangna to marry Zhu Zhu.

He sighed with emotion that the name of this person was Kezhu Hunyuan, who was originally from Huaishuo Town. He used to follow Erzhu Tianguang into Guanzhong to suppress the rebellion. After the Erzhu family was defeated, he stayed in Longyou. A part of Hou Mo and Chen Yue belonged to Qinzhou, and because they were not tolerated by Yuwentai and their families were all in the Eastern Dynasty, they went north from Qinzhou and traveled thousands of miles all the way before returning to Kanto.

But Zhu Hunyuan and Gao Wang were old acquaintances of the township party, and his deeds of traveling thousands of miles to return to righteousness also won Gao Wang's favor, so he is now one of the top generals in the Eastern Dynasty, and now he is serving as the governor of Bingzhou. Gao Wang guarded this base camp.

The general who stood side by side with Ke Zhu Hunyuan was equally extraordinary. He was Liu Feng, the son-in-law of Cao Ni, the former governor of Lingzhou.

Hearing Ke Zhu Hunyuan's emotion, Liu Feng couldn't help but sighed: "Gao Wang is a great man, and his willpower is enough to swallow the sky, but he made the people under his command respectfully obey his orders. Three points, this is also a shame for those of us who are benefactors!"

When Liu Feng was in Lingzhou, he first resisted the rebellious soldiers of the Six Towns, and then repeatedly repelled the attacking troops sent by Yuwentai of the Western Dynasty. In the end, he chose to abandon Lingzhou and seek refuge in the Eastern Dynasty. Sincerity is incomparable.

At this time, when Zhu Hunyuan heard Ke Zhu Hunyuan talk about the affairs of the people in the country, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He only felt that everyone in the world was making things difficult for the high king and refused to devote themselves to the king's affairs wholeheartedly.

But when Zhu Hunyuan heard Liu Feng's words, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "Fengsheng still has great ambitions, and he is neither party nor party, loyal and straightforward, which is really admirable. I am also ashamed that my heart is not as good now. You are frank and frank."

"Brother Daoyuan is teasing me. I'm not a party member. It's just that the people here don't want to join me, and I have to be alone. If it weren't for the care of the Lord and Brother Daoyuan, I am afraid that there would be no party in this town. Where I stand."

After hearing the words, Liu Feng sighed and said that he was not blindly optimistic about his situation.

Although the personnel affairs of the Eastern Dynasty are all in the Bafu, in fact, the inside is also intricate.

Among all the forces, the most powerful is naturally Gao Wang's relatives Yuan Cong. No matter how hard others try, it is difficult for others to surpass these people.The second is the Hebei aristocratic families and powerful people who fought against the Erzhu clan together with King Gao. Although these people were not as powerful as the soldiers of Xun Guiyuan, they also surrounded Gao Cheng and formed a political center in Yedu.

In addition, there is another group in the Jinyang Overlord Mansion, that is the Erzhu faction that King Gao once opposed.Er Zhurong used to be the former lord of King Gao, and also the co-lord of the six towns. Although his power was wiped out after his death, the remaining influence of personnel still permeated every aspect of the Eastern Dynasty.

However, people like Zhu Hunyuan and Liu Feng did not belong to the category of nobles in Jinyang. They chose to attach themselves to King Gao after he became powerful.Compared with Liu Feng, Zhu Hunyuan also had the advantage of being born in the Six Towns, so he was able to quickly integrate into the Xianbei of the Six States after Guiyi.

Liu Feng himself was a person who resisted the mutiny of the Six Towns, and he even met Po Liuhan Chang, who belonged to Guiyi, on the battlefield. Moreover, the Xianbei of the six prefectures formed a group and were extremely xenophobic. It is difficult to feel close to this colleague who has a completely different background from them and was once an enemy.

As a military general in the border town, Liu Feng could not integrate into the Hebei aristocratic family and Yedu aristocratic group at all, so he could only fight hard with his bravery, and win the appreciation and protection of the high king through military exploits.

When Liu Feng was in the Western Dynasty, he repeatedly repelled the siege of the generals in the Western Dynasty. A general who was born in the Clan's Bafu and was not a dignitary in Yexia.

After the Battle of Mangshan, Liu Feng was appointed by King Gao to continue to attack the Western Army. Although Wang Sizheng prevented him from continuing to expand the results of the battle, it also showed that King Gao attached great importance to him.Therefore, Liu Feng is also one of the generals that Gao Wang personally named and must follow in the Western Expedition this time.

　The personnel relationship during this period of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was relatively complicated, far from being able to cover the dual interaction between Jinyang and Yedu, but it would be a bit overwhelming to write it down.These chapters lay out a framework first, and then write in detail the elements needed later.In the past few days, it takes too much time to sort out the data, and there is not enough time for coding. Now the data processing is almost done, and I will write more tomorrow. . .
