Royal Road - Chapter 296

[Chapter 295 | City]

The emperor’s reward and the edict of moving the capital went to Jinyang together.

In addition to the general Jin, the governor, and Sikong, like Gou Xi, Liang Feng was also named a county prince, with 15,000 households.

The Duke of the County is the highest-ranking title of different surnames in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. With the county as the country, the three armies can be set up, the title is hereditary, and the rank is only below the king of the county.

Such a reward simply gave Liang Feng enough face.

Except for one thing, his fief, nowhere else, is in Shangdang.

This letter put Liang Feng’s foundation and lifeline in front of the pseudo-han.

Not to mention the addition of the title of “Ling Sili Colonel”.

Sizhou is not comparable to other places, there is no governor, only the commander of Sili is the commander of twelve counties and one hundred counties.

The problem is that half of Sizhou is now in the hands of the Xiongnu, and the meaning of this title is self-evident.

With an edict, he completely threw the mess of Sizhou to himself, and the little emperor himself wanted to coerce the courtiers and go south to Shouchun.

If someone else encounters this, they may be even more annoyed, or even refuse to accept it.

Liang Feng himself didn’t care that much.

It’s okay to go.

The emperor moved the capital, not only the small court, but also all the families in the north.

Only if this group of dragging officials and nobles can walk cleanly, can his new policy be implemented easily and the situation in Sizhou can be reorganized.

As for the Xiongnu, as long as they are reluctant to part with the state for one day, they will always face each other. Liang Feng was already prepared.

But there is one thing that still makes him quite unhappy: “Your Majesty has ordered Linghu Kuang to accompany him to Shouchun.”

Linghu Kuang was sent to Luoyang to pose.

After all, the Son of Heaven was besieged, and as a minister, he should send some troops to escort him.

Unexpectedly, the little emperor stopped him when he said that.

How many generals are available in Bingzhou, how can people just pry the corner.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the following officials relaxed.

The attitude of the master determines the strategic direction.

If Liang Feng was dissatisfied with the emperor’s reward, they would have to rack their brains to get out of this predicament.

But now, instead of asking about the reward, he first complained about the Son of Heaven taking his generals.

When you say it is small, you value your subordinates, and when you say it big, you are not afraid of hypocrites.

Either way, it’s comforting enough.

Zhang Bin smiled slightly: “Since the emperor has orders, how can General Linghu not obey? There are two ways to resolve this matter. One is to push the boat along the river and order General Fox to move the capital with His Majesty. Shouchun is after all thousands of miles away from Bingzhou. If someone is by His Majesty’s side, you can also know the court’s movements.”

The meaning of this is very clear, that is, let Linghu Kuang go to Shouchun to be an undercover agent.

Linghu Kuang was rescued twice by Liang Feng. He was loyal and brave, and lived in the same state, so he could be trusted.

As a general of the Bingzhou lineage, he may not be able to be reused on the side of the little emperor. In this way, Liang Feng’s favor can be shown even more.

With these eyes and ears, it is easy to detect the movement towards the center.

Liang Feng frowned and thought about it, but still shook his head: “At the time of hiring, Yuan Jun has a straightforward personality and is not good at conspiracy. I’m afraid it would be inappropriate to let Shouchun go.”

Being a spy requires talent, and Linghu Kuang is just a straight person.

Not to mention whether it is possible to set up secrets, without a wink and scheming, it is possible to be harmed by the essence of the people in the DPRK.

Besides, moving the capital is not a small thing. When it comes to Shouchun, there will be a political struggle. As a member of the Bingzhou family, the possibility of him being implicated is too great.

Hearing what Liang Feng said, Zhang Bin said again: “If you don’t care about Shouchun, the lord can send an additional 5,000 soldiers and horses, but you are worried about the long journey and escort Your Majesty to move the capital.”

With only 1,000 people, the little emperor can still be cheeky .

Swallow, but a total of 6,000 elite soldiers is another concept.

Not to mention whether the little emperor has such a big appetite, even the accompanying Gou Xi and Liu Zhun who is stationed in Shouchun will not easily let Bingzhou soldiers and horses enter their own territory.

Therefore, the more soldiers are sent, the easier it is to be returned by the emperor.

Even if he did follow him to the ground, he could say that he had completed the task given by the Governor and had to return to Bingzhou.

So, who can stop it?

Hearing this, Liang Feng understood: “Shouchun Luyao, you should send more people to escort you. You can also bring some food and grass. When you return, don’t bother Your Majesty.

” .

In case of special circumstances, you can also take care of your own family and horses.

As for the little emperor, eight out of ten | nine are unreliable, so it is better to make plans early.

This is completely disregarding the matter of moving the capital. Zhang Bin smiled and said, “Don’t worry, lord, General Linghu will return safely. It’s just that Shangdang has to make further arrangements.”

Now that Shangdang has become Liang Feng’s own fiefdom, it would be inappropriate to send someone else to be the prefect. At least Zuti, the temporary prefect, has to change his place.

Liang Feng nodded: “Zu Changshi has defended the enemy and attacked this time, so he should be awarded the title and reward. He will be promoted to General

Fenwu, and he will also lead Henan Yin.”

Liang Feng himself took the commander of Sili, and this Henan Yin must be handed over to a reliable person.

Sizhou is in chaos today, and there is an urgent need for a ruler with both courage and ability. Who else is more suitable for this position than Zu Ti, who went north to fight the enemy alone?

After that, he didn’t stop talking and continued: “There are also the passes around Luoyang, and we must re-arm the defenses. After the spring of next year, we will focus on collecting the lost territories of Henan, Xingyang, and Hanoi.”

This is to compete with the Xiongnu for Sizhou territory.

.

Although Sizhou has experienced several wars, it is still densely populated, and there are still many fertile fields and cities.

Once stabilized, Comparable Bingzhou should be suitable for recuperation.

At that time, it will be connected with several counties near Yecheng, and it will be a large piece of land.

But on the Xiongnu side, it may not be so easy to let go of the fat.

The stakes are very important, and it should be carefully arranged.

Because of this sudden imperial decree, Liang Feng spent a lot of time in the front office.

However, back in the backyard, the familiar figure has not returned.

Once the battle is over, the things that need to be dealt with are equally complicated.

The surprise attack on Pingyang this time only lost more than 200 cavalry, but the lack of personnel of the tiger and wolf cavalry is serious, and it is not the solution to only be unable to get in and out.

Yi Yan didn’t rest much after returning, and went directly into the training.

Thanks to the fact that Shangdang captured a lot of war horses in the First World War, and intercepted some of the defeated troops, it was a return.

The cost of saving people in troubled times is far greater than simply fighting for territory.

However, as long as he has the ability, he is afraid that he will still do such a business.

After a few days of turning the shaft, Liang Feng’s energy was a bit too much to bear.

Hastily washed and washed with rice, and went to bed to rest.

While sleeping half-dream and half-awake, suddenly the side sank, and someone squeezed up.

Who can enter his room in the middle of the night, he can figure out which one is with his fingers.

Liang Feng didn’t open his eyes, he leaned into the other’s arms, ready to go back to sleep.

Unexpectedly, the man pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: “I heard that General Linghu was recruited by the emperor…”

“Well…” Liang Feng replied vaguely.

Hearing the painless nasal sound, the man’s shoulders were tensed

and he held it for a while, and finally he couldn’t help whispering in his ear: “What if I was begged by the emperor?”

He snorted: “He wants to be beautiful…” In

a short sentence, there is no beginning or end, but it is decisive.

In the darkness, Yi Yan stretched out his whole body, hugged the person in his arms firmly, like petting a big cat, and gently smoothed it on the other side’s back, letting him fall asleep again.

※

After only staying in Luoyang City for half a month, Linghu Kuang felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

At first, the little emperor treated him with courtesy.

After all, the other party was also the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. Although Linghu Kuang was not willing to go to Shouchun, he still abide by the way of monarch and minister.

However, after Bingzhou sent an additional 5,000 troops to escort him, the little emperor immediately changed his attitude and looked at him with a bit of indifference.

Linghu situation completely understood this order.

What the Son of Heaven valued was never him, but the soldiers in his hands.

When there are 1,000 people, he is a puppet that can be manipulated by others; when he becomes 6,000, he becomes a burden that cannot be manipulated.

If you can’t use it for yourself, why bother?

If he was in prison back then, or if he was defeated and fled.

Will the Son of Heaven look at him more?

Probably only for today.

Without that sense of sincerity, Linghu Kuang became calmer.

He also saw clearly the embarrassment and embarrassment behind the only glamorous left of Luoyang City.

All the ministers, all big carts and small carts, pulled everything that could be pulled away, and wanted to go south with the imperial drive.

It seems that Luoyang has completely lost the meaning of existence to them.

Just to get out of the city early, I don’t know how many disputes have occurred in the streets.

Bandits inside and outside the city took advantage of this opportunity to loot.

It was not until the soldiers and horses sent by Gou Xi entered the city, and finally swept the large and small warehouses in the city, and the team that moved the capital did not make the trip.

For more than ten days before and after, no one paid any attention to the people in the city.

And this last mess seems to have taken away their only remaining hope.

All those who were still able to walk silently packed their bags, preparing to keep up with the brigade that moved the capital.

However, Gou Xi sent only 30,000 soldiers.

Not to mention the common people, even many small nobles can only follow the team from a distance, hoping that they can survive this long distance and arrive at the new capital in the far south.

Linghu Kuang also led the troops to follow in the team.

He had seen the situation when Sima Teng withdrew from Bingzhou, but the tragic situation today is even better than that of the past.

It’s just that the convoy of Emperor and Gongqing stretched for dozens of miles.

But all the troops, whether it was his or Gou Xi’s, or the private soldiers of many high-level families, were only responsible for protecting this group of nobles.

The rest of the soldiers were just bait at the end of the line to attract bandits.

Every day, I don’t know how many people are left behind, and these are just the beginning.

In the months that followed, it was the tide of the gentry moving south.

It’s just that the fate of these people is even more difficult to say.

If they stay in Sizhou and take refuge in the lord, there is still a chance.

Unconsciously, Linghu Kuang’s mind changed.

He began to think that perhaps the emperor was not as majestic and reliable as he imagined.

He was just a ten-year-old child, who had just succeeded to the throne and had not made any achievements. He couldn’t even defend the city of Luoyang where he lived.

The master is different.

It can make Bingzhou, who is deeply trapped in the hands of thieves, reorganize its appearance, and naturally it can also make Sizhou settle down.

Only the lord is the hope for all of them!

The pain of migration is not only boring, but also dangerous.

It didn’t take long for the team to move south to encounter the enemy.

This time, the enemy seems to be the main force of Wang Mi, and the number of people is quite large.

Just as Linghu Kuang was about to set up a formation to defend against the enemy, he received an order from the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven ordered him to cut off the back cover.

He ordered his 6,000 troops to deal with at least 20,000 enemy troops alone.

The last thought in my heart also cooled down.

Linghu Kuang took the order expressionlessly.

He was also born in the Bingzhou family, and he was not afraid of the bandit soldiers formed by this group of rogues.

What’s more, there are 6,000 soldiers delivered by the lord beside him.

Stay in the back road, stand up the army.

Linghu Kuang held on for two days, and spent another day defeating the main force of the enemy.

Seeing that the task was completed, he did not keep up with the front army again, but turned his head and arranged for people to gather the people who were affected by the war on the back road.

“You can’t keep up with the army. Even if you do, there will be no one to protect you. It’s not like I will return to Sizhou together! Now, the one stationed in Sizhou is Liang Shijun from Bingzhou. The emperor will keep you safe!”

Standing in the crowd , Linghu Kuang said loudly.

Liang Shijun’s name, even across the Taihang Mountains, was introduced into the territory of Sizhou early.

Every year, I don’t know how many displaced people travel north along the Xingdao.

Hearing this, the crowd rioted.

Less than ten days after leaving Luoyang, I encountered a few bandits.

Can they really keep up with the emperor?

Will the emperor really protect them?

Most of these people have experienced the siege of Luoyang.

Hate and fear the Huns who are close at hand.

But in the same way, they did not have the slightest trust in the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

Following the army, I just don’t want to be left in Luoyang.

Now, their homeland has another guardian.

A benevolent envoy who can defeat the Huns!

“We would like to go back to Sizhou with the general! Back to Luoyang!” Someone in the team shouted.

“Go back to Sizhou! Go back to Luoyang!” The

scattered shouts became a shocking call.

Linghu Kuang took a deep breath.

That’s right, their homeland is only in the north!

On that day, the long migration process was split in half.

Half of it continued to the south and fled towards the new capital Shouchun.

The other half, in a mighty manner, returned to the ruined city.
