"Nie Xuan lost?!" Hearing the news, Sima Teng was furious!

This was the first battle he sent troops to conquer the Xiongnu, and he was defeated like that, still a big defeat! How could he not be shocked and angry! You must know that Lucheng reported a victory a few days ago, and not all five thousand elite riders were driven back. How did he get to Nie Xuan's place and become a broken army

The messenger hurriedly said: "The Xiongnu generals were cunning and besieged General Nie's camp from three sides, but they were defeated only when they were defeated. General Nie has already gathered the remnants and is preparing to hold on to Yangyi..."

What's the use of defending Yangyi? ! His purpose is to attack the central part of the Xiongnu and keep Jinyang safe. What is the use of a mere Yangyi? ! Yes, the soldiers and horses sent to Lucheng before must have been a trick by the Huns! Originally, Liu Yuan would not have sent any elite soldiers and generals to rescue the King of Chengdu, but by showing off, Liang Feng took advantage. He mistakenly thought that the Huns were weak, but he believed in Nie Xuan's self-promotion and ended up being defeated!

Hateful little dog slave!

Sima Teng turned his head and shouted at the aides beside him, "Is there a good plan for you?!"

Hearing Nie Xuan's defeat, the officials of the general's house were also extremely shocked. Master Gao thought for a moment, and finally said: "The general may borrow troops from Xianbei. The head of Daijun Suo has always obeyed the imperial court. Huns!"

At this time, Tuoba Xianbei and Jin were on good terms, and the head of the cable mentioned by Gao Zhushu was the middle branch of Tuoba Xianbei, living in the north of Shenhepo in Dai County. The leader of this tribe, Tuoba Yiyao, is quite talented. He traveled across the Mobei for several years and conquered more than 30 countries, making Suo’s head stronger. He also appointed Han Chinese guards as the auxiliary in the tribe to manage the affairs of the tribe. It should not be difficult for the Fan people, who are so close to Jin, to borrow troops from him.

Hearing what Master Gao said, Sima Teng nodded immediately: "Send someone to get the head and borrow troops! Make sure that group of Hugou look amazing!"

Previously, Wang Jun borrowed troops from Duan's Xianbei to defeat the King of Chengdu's army of tens of thousands. If he could borrow Tuoba Xianbei's troops, he would surely defeat Liu Yuan's old man. Compared with his own safety, hating the things of Hulu is not so important.

After thinking for a while, Sima Teng said again: "Shangdang is considered stable now, let Linghu Kuang lead the troops back to Jinyang. He was promoted to Wu Ling to replace his position and guard Huguan and the nearby Xingdao."

This move is a bit risky, but now that Nie Xuan has just been defeated, he really lacks people. Linghu Kuang came from a wealthy family in Bingzhou, and his uncle Linghu Sheng was also a veteran in the army, so he might as well take this opportunity to promote Linghu's lineage. As for Shangdang, as long as Lucheng and Huguan can be defended, they will be safe and sound. Although Sima Teng didn't like Liang Zixi, he was indeed the kind of real celebrity who kept his word. As long as he is there, Shangdang will be safe and sound.

Quickly making a final decision, the two teams of messengers left Jinyang, and each led the way.

"General Linghu wants to go north to Jinyang and replace General Wu to succeed him?" Liang Feng asked in surprise, looking at the young man in front of him.

"Dongying has an order, the last general is afraid that he will leave tomorrow. General Wu has also received an order, and he will be able to reach Huguan in a few days." After receiving the news from Jinyang, Linghu Kuang immediately rushed to Lucheng. , to explain the situation to Liang Feng. First, the friendship between the two is really good, and the other is the issue of Yi Yan's belonging, which is still a problem.

At present, Yi Yan is his nominal subordinate, and he has also divided up a thousand troops. Naturally, this matter must be handled properly.

How could Liang Feng not understand the meaning of his words, but how could he give up the thousand qualified soldiers who had worked so hard and had just killed bandits and seen blood? Not to mention Yiyan!

With a slight smile, Liang Feng said: "Now that General Nie is newly defeated, Duke Dongying is afraid that he will rely heavily on General Linghu. It is also a good thing to go to Jinyang. However, a few days ago, there was a bandit trouble in Nie County, and he wanted to collude with the fake Han. I have to clean up, so I lost some soldiers..."

Hearing Xian's understanding of Ya's intentions, Linghu Kuang immediately understood that this was because the other party did not want to return his soldiers and horses, and he had to use military merit in exchange. In the battle of Nie County, it seems that nearly a thousand bandits were suppressed? After thinking for a moment, Linghu Kuang nodded and said: "Shangdang is indeed not very stable, and the last general will write a letter and inform Duke Dongying. I am afraid that another thousand people will have to be left to guard Huguan. I just don't know about General Wu. Is it enough?"

With such additions and subtractions, a thousand people even stayed in Huguan. It's just that this soldier is in the hands of the mansion, and he still doesn't know if Wu Ling, who takes the place, is willing.

"This General Linghu can rest assured. General Wu has always been close to me, and he should be able to defend Huguan. If there is a shortage of troops, he can also recruit from the refugees." Liang Feng immediately responded.

Liang Feng was quite sure about this. Wu Ling and him can be regarded as old friends, and it is a joy to share the spoils together. This trivial matter is not a problem. What's more, in the event of war, the most afraid of two commanders, Linghu is not very easy to use, Wu Ling has no such concerns.

Hearing that Liang Feng was so comprehensive, Linghu Kuang also breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the best."

After finalizing the personnel arrangement, Liang Feng finally felt relieved: "This time in Jinyang, the general is afraid that he will have to fight fiercely with the Xiongnu. Just be careful."

Linghu Kuang was well-informed and had already heard about the borrowing of troops. He smiled and said, "This mansion lord doesn't have to worry. Duke Dongying has already sent an envoy to Dai County, so he should be able to borrow Tuoba troops and horses. Xianbei iron cavalry. To be the best in the world, even if the Huns meet, they have to retreat for three times!"

After sending Linghu Kuang away, Liang Feng sighed in a low voice. Even if he is unfamiliar with this history, he knows that the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty was named Tuoba. Although I can't remember when the Northern Wei Dynasty established its dynasty, these Hu people will end up in chaos in the north for three hundred years. Sima Teng's use of Tuoba Xianbei today also lays the foundation for the prosperity of Tuoba tomorrow

However, far-reaching worries are not worth the near-term troubles. Whether to Sima Teng, the prefect of Bingzhou, or to him, the county governor of Shangdang, the Xiongnu was a close threat. I just hope that this borrowed strong army can stabilize the situation in Bingzhou a little.

After thinking for a moment, Liang Feng said, "Yi Yingzheng please come here."

In a short time, Yi Yan strode into the study: "Master, can you call me for something?"

"General Linghu is leaving Shangdang." Liang Feng said straight to the point.

Yi Yan clenched his fists when he heard this. He was a captain under the name of Linghu Kuang, what would he do with the 1,000 troops? !

Liang Feng smiled and waved his hand: "Boyuan doesn't need to worry, I have already negotiated with General Linghu, leaving a thousand people stationed at Huguan to assist the successor General Wu to guard the party. And next year, the army will be expanded to increase the number of defenders. ."

Hearing what the lord said, Yi Yan immediately understood that the lord made a deal for him. The successor who succeeded Linghu Kuang turned out to be Wu Ling, which was easier to manipulate than the original Linghu clan. The tense heart loosened, and then another touch of emotion surfaced. The lord will always choose the best path for him and keep him by his side.

Hanging his head, Yi Yan said in a low voice, "But it's up to the master's arrangement."

Not aware of this moment's thoughts, Liang Feng continued: "I am afraid that the Xiongnu will concentrate on the contest with Dongying Gong this winter. With the help of Xianbei, Jinyang may not be defeated. In this way, it will free up some time for the Shangdang. We must train the refugees as soon as possible, and enrich the part. When General Wu arrives, you will go to Huguan with you. Not only Huguan, but also the remaining few roads, you must also take care of it."

In addition to the military, there are people's livelihood. Now he is no longer as naive as he used to be, and when he can grab the time, he will grab it and grab it. Do everything possible to save this little county. After you have the ability to protect yourself, you can do other things.

I can't wait.

In the bamboo forest, there was a rustling noise. A figure crouched down, trying to hide himself more tightly. However, he was not wearing clothes for play, but a full set of imperial crowns. Dressed like this, even if you are familiar with this royal garden, it is impossible to avoid the eyes of the investigation.

Soon, the noisy footsteps came from far to near, and some soldiers saw the emperor hiding in the bamboo forest and shouted loudly. Regardless of the emperor's begging gesture of holding on to the bamboo branch, they dragged the 95-year-old out of the bamboo forest and presented it in front of their coach.

Before he even got off the horse, Zhang Fang waved his whip impatiently: "Your Majesty, the world is chaotic, and there are many barbarians and bandits rebelling. There are few people in the palace, and I also ask Your Majesty to accompany the ministers to the military camp to protect them."

His tone was very bad, even this middle-aged man with a sullen face in front of him could hear something wrong, so he couldn't help crying and shouting.

But in the palace, how can there be guards? After Zhang Fang entered Luoyang, he had stopped for three months. In the past three months, not to mention the property in Luoyang City, even the tomb of Empress Ai Xian, the daughter of Jia Hou who died early, has been dug upside down. In the face of this group of ferocious soldiers and bandits like wolves, who would dare to stand up and protect the dignity of the emperor

The Central Librarian Lu Zhi, who was standing by the side, finally couldn't help but persuaded: "Your Majesty should obey the words of the right general. This minister is useless, but I will do my best to protect Your Majesty and stay close to Your Majesty."

As the only person who understood, how could Lu Zhi not know what Zhang Fang was thinking. Previously, the governor of Yuzhou, King Fan Yang, and the governor of Xuzhou, King Dongping, jointly signed a letter, requesting Zhang Fang to evacuate Luoyang and hand over to His Majesty. And how could King Hejian, who finally got the heavy treasure, give up and resolutely prevent Zhang Fang from withdrawing his troops. So a few people pulled their skins and couldn't stand it. Coupled with the two younger brothers of the King of the East Sea, Duke Pingchang and King Gaomi, the situation was extremely complicated.

But the officers and soldiers in Guan Zhong led by Zhang Fang couldn't bear it any longer. Even if Luoyang could let them loot, now what should be looted would have already been looted. Seeing that the weather turns cold, who would be patient enough to stay in this lonely city? Everyone was clamoring and wanting to return to Chang'an. With such a commotion, Zhang Fang's first consideration was the military heart. Since the Lord Shanghejian cares most about His Majesty in Luoyang City, wouldn't it be appropriate for His Majesty to move the capital and go to Chang'an

So this group of big-headed soldiers broke into the palace like this and kidnapped the emperor. What better way to deal with such a brutal and filthy person? Lu Zhi couldn't think of it. Only temporarily obey this person's order and go to Chang'an.

With Lu Zhi by his side, he kept persuading, the emperor's cry gradually stopped, and he choked and asked, "Can I take the palace maid's treasure with me?"

Zhang Fang laughed in surprise: "If there is His Majesty's decree, the minister should obey the order."

Seeing the relieved expression of the emperor and the greedy smile of the man on the horse, Lu Zhi couldn't help but close his eyes. But at this moment, what can stop it

On the same day, the emperor moved into the military camp with Zhang Fang. There were no lupins accompanying him, only twelve little Huangmen and Lu Zhi. Zhang Fang took the imperial decree and led his troops into the palace, seizing power and looting, and robbing the palace. Even the curtains and tassels in the palace were cut off to pad the saddle.

If it wasn't for Lu Zhi's desperate persuasion to let Zhang Fang not learn from Dong Zhuo, I am afraid that this person would burn down the palace and the imperial temple. But what if it doesn't burn? The savings of the Wei and Jin dynasties, four million brocade and silk, and more than one hundred dendrobium of jewelry, gold and silver, were swept away!

Three days later, Zhang Fang left Luoyang, the capital of the capital, and returned to Chang'an with his bulging luggage, the weeping maids, and the emperor, the King of Chengdu, the King of Yuzhang, and others.
