People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 10

The composition of this exile team is a bit complicated, in addition to Duan Jiong's family members, and the prison guards who escorted him, there is also a team of barbarian knights.

They shouldn't have been in the exile team.

And now there is a new force, Li Wenhou and his subordinates.

"Li Wenhou..."

At this time, Duan Yan also saw Li Wenhou, with an extremely bitter expression on his face, both comforting and embarrassing, just like in the most desolate time, people always hope that their former friends will not forget him, and at the same time they are most afraid of seeing their former friends.

At the same time, Li Wenhou had approached the barbarian knights. After negotiating with the leader of the other side, they first threatened the prison guards, and then bid farewell to Duan Jiong's family, and finally rode away on horseback.

The one who replaced them was Li Wenhou.

Riding on the horse, Li Wenhou looked indifferent:

"Liangzhou is remote, and there are many horse thieves and thieves. Next, I will lead an escort for a while to ensure that you will not die in the middle of the road."

Hearing this, the prison guards who were escorting them did not refute at all, but they all looked obedient. They have been "protected" in this way since they entered Liangzhou.

At the beginning, I felt a little resentful, but later, I encountered more and more Qiang tribes and Di tribes, and they were all arrogant and unreasonable. If they wanted to rob their property, they could escape safely only by relying on Duan Jiong's reputation, so these prison guards no longer cared about them.

Even if the great Han court did not give this veteran the last respect, the various ministries in Liangzhou had to give this hero enough respect.

The Qiang rebellion in Liangzhou went back and forth, costing tens of billions of military expenditures, but did not solve the problem. During the reign of Emperor Huan, three outstanding generals emerged, Huangfugui, Zhang Huan, and Duan Jiong, who later became Liangzhou Sanming.

The former two still advocated appeasement of the Qiang people, and the result was that they surrendered and then rebelled, rebelled and surrendered again, and in the end it was Duan Jiong who, with the policy of iron and blood, killed corpses all over the field, and only spent more than 40 billion military expenditures to put down the rebellion.

The reason is that no matter how much you appease the Qiang people, the officials are still Guandong scholars. If they don't stop oppressing the Qiang people, these rebellions will never disappear.

He doesn't understand the military and exploits wantonly. When something happens in the end, he writes a letter requesting to relocate the border residents and abandon Liangzhou. When he can collect money, he will not refuse anyone who comes.

And if Duan Jiong's death is taken as the boundary, before Duan Jiong's death, there had been no turmoil in Liangzhou for ten years. After Duan Jiong's death, only in the past five years, various ministries in Liangzhou rebelled again and broke into the Sanfu area.

After all, as long as the people can survive, they will not rebel, just like the Yellow Turban Uprising led by Taipingdao.

Not long after, this team of exiles set off again, including more than 80 members of Duan Jiong's family, and Li Wenhou was also rich and powerful, so he directly gave them all the extra horses in his hand for transportation.

An exiled criminal rides a horse...

Escorted prison guards walk...

Such a situation is unique.

Among these family members, the one who can still call the shots is Duan Yan. At this time, he and Li Wenhou are riding at the front of the team.

No one spoke for a while.

In the end, it was Li Wenhou who broke the deadlock:

"We have made arrangements for this journey. When we return to Liangzhou, we don't have to look at other people's faces. Even if we go to Dunhuang, except for the harsh environment, we still don't have to worry about food and clothing..."

"It's just that the identity is more troublesome. Now that the Taiwei has left, none of us can speak in the court..."

In the Han Dynasty, status was still very important. Officials and generals with real rank basically had to check their backgrounds. Prisoners, son-in-laws, merchants... these were all excluded.

Now Duan Jiong's family members are all guilty, even if Duan Yan joins the army, he can only be a corps leader, and it is impossible to be a team leader.

Unless they met with an amnesty or amnesty, they would not even be able to return to their hometown, Gu Zang. That's why it was said that the Han court did not leave the last bit of decency to Duan Jiong, a veteran.

When Duan Jiong was mentioned, a look of complexity flashed across Duan Yan's eyes. This was the pride of their Duan family, from officials to Taiwei, to the rank of Sangong, but it was also because of Duan Jiong that now their Duan family was exiled to the frontier.

No matter how brilliant it was in the past, it is now a cloud of the past.

Duan Yan lowered his head, his voice was very dull:

"It's enough. We can save our lives. Maybe in the future, His Majesty will consider the Duan family's loyalty and allow us to return to our hometown..."

Although he said so, even Duan Yan himself didn't know whether their Duan family could be pardoned.

And behind them, Li Yao was looking at Duan Yan with burning eyes. This Duan Yan was much more famous than his father, but he was much less famous than other famous generals.

But from another perspective, as one of the generals who followed Dong Zhuo to the capital, who was able to escape the internal fighting after Dong Zhuo's death, and even survived to the end of his life, how could such a character be simple!
After all, the other person who still lived to the end of his life as Dong Zhuo's former subordinate was Jia Xu who claimed to be a planner.

It's a pity that Dong Zhuo is not a good master. He holds a good card in his hand. He is super god in the early stage and super ghost in the later stage. Even as long as he plays it properly, the Liu family will change hands before entering the Three Kingdoms period.

But soon Li Yao was full of regrets, now that Duan Yan has fallen into a trough, he is very suitable for recruiting, but he does not have this ability.

Not mentioning that I am still young, of course it refers to physical age, not mental age.

The key point is Duan Yan, who is of the same generation as his father, and also a comrade-in-arms relationship, how can he open his mouth to solicit.

But it's good to get to know each other...

"Father Zhong, the ambition of a man should be like a river. Even if it is blocked for a while, he should go forward bravely and overcome all difficulties. How can he be so discouraged..."

"Now Zhongfu's life is safe, and we are willing to help. In the future, we will be able to soar again and take back what we lost!"

The words were impassioned.

It directly made the two people in front turn their heads and look back, their eyes locked on Li Yao.

Li Yao noticed that the two of them seemed to still hold their heads high and their chests upright, without showing any timidity.

"Well said!" Duan Yan looked at Li Yao:

"What a handsome young man, and he has such ambition, if the elder brother is still alive, he will definitely like you very much..."

"Ever since the two generals Xia Yu and Tian Yan were demoted to common people because of the failure of the Northern Expedition, the eldest brother often feels that there is no one around..."

"Based on your bold words just now, big brother will definitely conscript you into the government..."

"Unfortunately...unfortunately..."

At the end, Duan Yan let out a sigh.

Immediately Duan Yan looked at Li Wenhou, and Li Wenhou introduced proudly:

"My eldest son, Li Yao!"

Duan Yan looked at Li Yao again, but this time his eyes were extremely kind, as if he was looking at his own nephew:
"With such ambition, even if you don't rely on big brother, you will be worth two thousand stones in the future!"
