In the 25th year of Yuantai, when the Eastern Tartars invaded the border, the Northern Frontier Army Beiyan Iron Cavalry and the garrisoned troops in Jin and Yuzhou joined forces at the Wuding River, but the cavalry from the grasslands was more than 800 miles away and forced them back to the Western Autumn close.
In August of the same year, the East Tatar Wuzhu tribe begged to surrender, willing to surrender to Dazhou, and called him a minister. On August 16th, the envoys of the two sides completed the surrender ceremony in the tent by the Wuding River, and agreed that the Wuzhu tribe should pay tribute to furs, medicinal materials, horses, gold and silver and other items every year, and send the Khan's family to the capital Guozijian to study the Central Plains. etiquette.
In September, the imperial court issued a decree, ordering the commander-in-chief of Beiyan Iron Cavalry and Jingning Hou Fu Shen to escort the embassy from the East to Beijing for the pilgrimage.
Wuzhu's troops retreated, and the war in the north was over. Fu Shen had no worries for the time being, so he arranged military affairs and personally led a team of elite cavalry to escort the mission south.
On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, when the horse team was passing through the Qingsha Pass, they suddenly felt the ground under their feet. In an instant, the rocks were like rain, the mountain road collapsed, and the horses ran wild in fright.
The terrain of Qingsha Pass is dangerous and narrow, but because it is located in the Dazhou territory, even though Fu Shen was careful, he never imagined that there would be such disasters coming from landslides and fissures. The falling rocks rolled straight down, and immediately turned the horse's head and led the crowd straight to the entrance of the original road.
The smoke and dust were everywhere, and almost the entire valley was stained with sand. In the chaos, an exquisite crossbow turned its direction, and the sinister tip of the cold light was aimed at the man who was galloping on the horse.
His keen intuition, honed by years of life and death on the battlefield, saved his life at this critical moment. A long spear came from behind him, Fu Shen seemed to have eyes behind his back, and suddenly pulled the reins while he was low, and the army horse under his crotch stopped suddenly, his fore hooves raised, and turned half a circle on the spot, the arrow was almost rubbed. His back swept past, "keng" nailed into the rock, not half an inch.
Who is going to kill him
This icy thought only flashed in Fu Shen's mind for a moment, and the next moment, the unison of the soldiers pulled him back to the world.
"General be careful!"
The boulder that fell above his head covered the sky and the sun, and completely blocked his sight of looking back.
On the ninth day of September in the twenty-fifth year of Yuantai, the Eastern Tartar embassy was attacked at Qingsha Pass in Tongzhou. Fu Shen, the commander-in-chief of the Beiyan Iron Cavalry who escorted the mission, was hit by a boulder and severely injured his legs.
When the news came back to the capital, everyone was shocked, and the government and the opposition were in an uproar.
Emperor Yuantai was furious, and ordered the three law divisions to investigate the case strictly, and also specially ordered Fu Shen to be generous, adding a thousand stones to the original rank of the Jingning Hou, he was appointed general of Fuguo, and he was given a purple ribbon and a gold seal, and he was allowed to take his post back. Recuperation in Beijing.
The news of Fu Shen's injury was widely circulated in Beijing, and many people speculated in private that the military power of the Beiyan Army would fall into the hands of the Beiyan Army after his injury. A special decree of the emperor temporarily blocked Youyou's public opinion. Fu Shen was still the commander-in-chief of the Beiyan Army, and he did not hold a real position and held military power. If General Fu is smart enough, he will abdicate after returning to the capital and surrender his military power to the sage.
From this point of view, His Majesty is not only benevolent and righteous, but even treats the hero very favorably.
Jingning Hou Fu Shen and Bei Yan Jun, who were at the center of the rumors, received the order, but there was no movement. It was not until the end of September that Fu Shen handed over a letter, which detailed the arrangements for the handover of military affairs for the garrison in the north, and asked the emperor to allow him to leave his post to recuperate.
This document made Emperor Yuantai heave a sigh of relief, refuted his resignation as usual, and allowed him to leave the northern Xinjiang and return to Beijing.
I don't know how many people in Beijing are counting the days with their hands open, looking forward, waiting to see what this famous Jingning Hou has become. At this moment, thousands of miles away, the sky was twilight, and a small carriage, surrounded by personal soldiers, left the heavily guarded Yanzhou City and drove towards the capital.
