Chapter 85 Jinyang
.
Jinyang was built in 500 BC. Even in the Tang Dynasty, it was an ancient city that was absolutely unforgettable.
As a heroic city that shielded the Central Plains, for 1,500 years, every dynasty has increased its walls. Only in this way can the people of the Central Plains live and work in peace and contentment. The city wall of Jinyang was first launched, with a circumference of four miles, four meters high, and one meter thick. Seven hundred years later, the governor of Bingzhou of the Western Jin Dynasty expanded it into a big city with a circumference of twenty-seven miles. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it became the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The royal family of Northern Qi built countless palaces and buildings in Jinyang, which really turned it into a glorious city. Jinyang has since become a glorious city. The foundation of the emperor, Li Yuan rebelled against the Sui Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, Jinyang was designated as the northern capital, also known as Beijing, as the eastern capital Luoyang and the western capital Chang'an. The famous general Li Ji expanded Jinyang again and built a sister city the same size as the old city on the west bank east to the east of the Fen River. The two cities were across the river and were horns. Empress Wu connected the two cities into one, and finally built a powerful city that was twelve miles long from east to west, eight miles wide from north to south, and more than forty miles in circumference. The Fen River passed through the city and had twenty-four city gates.
When the tall city of Jinyang floated above the horizon, Chen De was really shocked.
"When Jinyang uses martial arts, it is really the foundation of the emperor granted by heaven." Li Si, the captain of the Tooth Army, who was riding a horse, sighed. When Liu Wenjing, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, persuaded Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan to raise an army to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, the important reason was that Jinyang City was tall and dangerous, the soldiers of the Three Jins were fierce, and the food was sufficient. It was difficult to achieve both worldly affairs. The dangerous cities often had barren land, sparse people, and fertile land, and many people were often difficult to defend. However, Jinyang actually had both beauty and was a unique city in the world.
Chen De brought the left army commander Xin Gu and the Ya Army Captain Li Si to meet with the Han emperor Liu Jiyuan, who had only twenty personal guards. In order to succeed the commander of the Tuhun Army, Chen Dezao sent Li Si to Jinyang to manage important officials, and especially to Xuanhui envoy Fan Chao and Danei Duanjian Degui each bribed 100,000 yuan. Although the imperial edict sent by Liu Jiyuan only allowed him to come to Jinyang to listen to the orders, the rest were unclear, but Fan Wei and the other two sent their family generals to inform him of the Han emperor's appointment as the commander of the Tuhun Army.
"It's ridiculous that these traitors actually hope to use the help of the adults to deal with my husband's son, but they didn't expect that the brothers would all look forward to meeting in Lanzhou as soon as possible." Yan Silang was seen by Chen De when he was in Shuzhong. Before Wei Ti died, he sent him to take the fifty-tit soldiers to wait for news from Chen De and others on the bank of the Yellow River. After Chen De crossed the Yellow River east, Yan Silang reported to him as soon as he met.
Before Wei Ti passed away, he summoned the generals of the army and told the generals to pass the commander of the generals to Chen De. Over the past year, Chen De led his troops to defeat Pan Mei and Cao Bin in Jiangnan, and killed King Qian, which was famous. Because Wei Ti had appointed him as the Duhun Duhou Yuhou, when he heard these achievements, the generals of the Tuhun Army who had followed Wei Ti to send a mission to Shu were also deeply honored, and even envied Xin Gu because he followed Chen De, he was appointed as the deputy commander of the Khitan people in just over a year. Benduo Hu people and Hu Han mixed men were all vulgar and unwilling people, and they were all over the ground, but they thought they could be the commander of the army. Seeing that Chen De was not alienated by Xin Gu as a foreign race, they were from his own army, so they all bowed their heads to obey Wei Ti's orders. After Wei Ti left, several lieutenants restrained their headquarters and discussed and decided to send Yan Silang, who knew Chen De, to welcome the new commander stranded on Yonghe Pass on the Yellow River on the Xizhou border.
When he was just arriving, Chen De did not want to anger the Han Emperor with his superiority, so he sent Li Si to Jinyang to manage the situation. During this period, the Tuhun Army drove away several commanders appointed by the court, and finally got the news that he was about to take over.
When he saw that the city entrance of Jinyang was actually still a distance away from the city gate. It was still early and everyone was not in a hurry to enter the city. He slowed down his mount. Chen De began to leisurely look at the crowds who were rushing on the official road.
Jinzhong advocates martial arts, and the people are strong in customs, and women are respectful in the festival. Most of the people come and go back and forth, and soldiers with waist knives and military uniforms can be seen everywhere. Although they are simple and have rough faces, many people have thick calluses between their thumbs and index fingers, which is obviously caused by frequent practice of archery.
The vendors on both sides of the street sold more hot cakes and soup. Chen De and others rushed over and felt hungry and thirsty when they arrived at the gate of Jinyang City. So they found a tea stall and tied their mount to the willow tree next to the road. More than 20 people sat on five tables and asked Dr. Tea to bring a pot of hot tea for each table, cut five kilograms of mutton, and a bowl of hot soup cakes for each person. They planned to take a rest and have a meal first. Although the city office also provides meals, Chen De and his group were numerous. When they suddenly arrived, they were afraid that the officials who received the guests would have to arrange for a while before they could have dinner.
While eating and drinking, smoke and dust were everywhere in the distance of the official road. Seven or eight knights in brocade clothes rushed over from the middle of the road, followed by forty or fifty riders. The people who came were tall and tall, wearing brocade robes and sable fur, hung a golden knife on their waists, and carved bows on their saddles. There were many pheasants and hares hanging on the horses of the generals. They thought that wealthy people in Jinyang City returned from hunting. The people on both sides of the road avoided the situation and let them go.
When he arrived at this tea stall, he suddenly pulled the reins and stood there with a long hiss. He pointed to Chen De's mount on the willow tree next to the road, turned to a young man beside him and said, "Brother Guo, do you think this is a Qinghai inspection?"
The young master surnamed Guo was about to start accusing him of almost hitting the person behind him. When he followed his gesture, his eyes couldn't be taken back and said, "That's right, there are dozens of horses in this Qinghai Camp, all of which are the mounts of military generals, and it's not easy to see anywhere else in the city." A trace of pride was revealed in his words.
When everyone heard his words, they immediately looked around Chen De's mount, marveling, but they didn't notice that the owner of the horse was eating and drinking in the tea stall next to him.
Chen De's mount was given by the late Heiyun Commander, Wan Yan. He was covered in black and had no miscellaneous hair. The Heiyundu war horse was purchased by the Southern Tang Dynasty from Western Shu, Khitan or Tubo. This Qinghai camp was from Tubo, and it was very divine. On that day, it broke through Jinling and carried Chen De and Huang Wen to get rid of the pursuers of the Song people. Therefore, Chen De also cared for this horse very much. His body and clothing were taken care of by Huang Wen. He served the horse when he had nothing to do every day. Even if he had time, he washed it into a smooth and smooth manner when he was free. The horse's hair was shiny and shiny like black brocade. Who would have thought that it attracted the attention of these powerful and noble children.
Although Chen De was silent, his subordinates could not bear to stop others from pointing around the commander's mount. The commander of the Left Army Xin Gu shouted: "Wait, hurry up and go away, don't you see the horse owner next to you?"
The group of people turned around and saw more than twenty military men dressed in military men sitting in tea stalls eating and drinking. Chen De had not yet obtained the military position oral of the Han Emperor, so he did not put forward a banner.
These people surrounding his mount naturally couldn't recognize him. When they ate for no reason, the young man in Jinyi, who had spoken before, couldn't hold back his face and blurted out: "What is your identity? How dare you shout at the man?" He brought several families to the tea stall before waving his hand and whipping it on Xin Gu's face.
Mr. Guo kept looking at Chen De and others. Seeing that the young man in Jinyi rashly took action to provoke him, he took a step back.
Seeing this man so domineering, Chen De's face was slightly dark, but Xin Gu was furious. He stood up and grabbed the whip tip, and pulled it hard. He was as strong as a cow. He immediately pulled the man in front of him, raised his palm the size of a palm fan, raised his hand and slapped his head in the head.
This man was not very short, and he couldn't stand the slap of Xin Gu. He fell out as if he was rolling into the ground. When he got up, he had a slap on his fair cheek.
Chen De was not interested in causing trouble, but Xin Gu took action too quickly, and he had no time to stop it. Seeing that the matter had come to this point, he could only bow and smile and said, "Friends, my subordinate has a little bit of temper and cannot bear the humiliation. He said he could not let this young master down. I am here to apologize."
Before everyone could answer, the man who was knocked to the ground covered his face and got up and shouted, "What are you still standing there? Come on, cut these miscellaneous pieces into meat sauce!" Several of his subordinates pulled out their waist knives to protect him, but no one dared to step forward.
Although the powerful young masters could not tell the depth, these family generals had the eyesight. Chen De and others saw that they were brave soldiers who had been through the battlefield for a long time. They would either die or be injured when they were in charge. Who would dare to come forward? Besides, if such a famous horse in Qinghai had no status, they would be robbed by someone if they could not ride for ten miles. However, these people could tie the horses to the road and sit safely in the official tea stall leading to the city gate to eat and drink, which was not a simple person.
The young man surnamed Guo walked forward slowly and bowed, "I am Guo Chongwei, my father is Guo Wanchao, the commander of the Cavalry and Infantry Army in the court. How dare you ask which general is in front of you?"
Before Chen De could speak, Yan Silang shouted loudly from the side: "Tuhun Army entered the city to do business, if you don't want to die, get out." After that, he vomited a mouthful of thick phlegm and spit it on the ground.
The people behind Guo Chongwei were already aggressive, especially the one who suffered a loss, who looked unwilling to stop. Unexpectedly, when Yan Silang heard the name of Tuhun Army, he looked at each other and didn't know what to do. In the end, Mr. Guo was calm and clasped his fists and said, "It turned out to be the brother of Tuhun Army. It turns out that he is extremely heroic. My friend offended Huwei and accused him of this." After that, he didn't wait for Chen De and others to answer, and greeted the other young masters and took the generals to run back to the city with a shameless horse.
This group of people was so arrogant and respectful at the beginning, which surprised Chen De and others. They asked Xin Gu and Yan Silang, the old Tuhun Army, about what happened. It turned out that Tuhun Army was full of powerful soldiers and soldiers, which were extremely difficult to control. When they were stationed in Jinyang, they had many losses. The two commanders were extremely protective of their shortcomings. They would rather have a strong position with the emperor than hand over the crime. Over time, they gradually became powerful. Later, the commander Wei was wrongly killed and the entire army was sent to Lan
In the province, Tuhun's children lost their thoughts on the Han Emperor, and became even more arrogant and domineering. Since even the commander appointed by the court dared to drive away, there was nothing that could not be done. The Han State wanted to rely on this power and did not dare to force them to rebel. Therefore, as long as they did not openly committing rebellion, they could only turn a blind eye to the domineering behavior of the Tuhun Army, and at most they would deduct it from both military rations and military salaries. As long as the soldiers of other soldiers and even the powerful princes would provoke Tuhun Army, they would have to admit that they were unlucky.
This group of arrogant soldiers and powerful generals who are not famous and famous, can defeat the nobles in the court, and can also be regarded as a unique scenery in the Five Dynasties.
Li Si sighed: "I didn't expect that the Tuhun Army's reputation will be so famous!"
Correction: The eighth year of Kaibao in the previous chapter should be the ninth year of Kaibao, and the thirteenth year of Tianhui should be the third year of Guangyun. Fan Chao was the official position of Xuanhui envoy, and the Tuhun Army was stationed in Lanzhou, and went out of Shuozhou to connect with the Khitan. Apologize.
