Chapter 248 Lin Qiang City
Linqiang City, as its name suggests, was named after it was close to the Qiang people in ancient times. It can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty ordered the defeat of the Qiang General Xin Wuxian, and the powerful crossbow general Xu Yanshou fought with Zhao Chongguo in December to attack Xianling. Later, General Zhao Chongguo marched into the Huangshui River Basin. In the same year, Linqiang County was established in the east of today's Huangyuan County and built this city.
Since the Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin Dynasties, it has still become one of the fortresses in the western region. After Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, he established Xiping County and Jiaohe County, which was adjacent to Tuyuhun. He stationed 80,000 troops here, some of which were recruited by the government soldiers from all over the country, and lived in this place, and the army and farmers were united. Some of them were local Qiang people, Western Regions people, Han people, etc., mixed with local government soldiers.
Linqiang City had 30,000 troops stationed in Linqiang City, which was considered to be a strong force. During the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty, the military commander of the government was named General of the Cavalry, and each mansion was appointed General of the Cavalry and General of the Cavalry. The General of the Cavalry in Linqiang City was Liang Yuanli and General of the Cavalry, namely Zhang Jun and Cui Shi. They received a report from the scouts and brought people to greet them outside the city.
Luo Zhaoyun's trip was airborne and carried an imperial edict, the emperor's golden sword and the king's military talisman, and had the right to mobilize local army. At the same time, the imperial edict announced that Luo Zhaoyun was appointed as the rank of general, and the temporary salary and title were still the treatment of generals. After making meritorious service, it would be officially promoted. This was just for the sake of his higher official title than that of the local generals and facilitated mobilization.
If it is managed at the same level, it will often cause local officers and generals to have a rebellious mentality, but those who have airborne have higher official ranks, which will be easier to enter.
"Liang Yuanli, General of the Cavalry of Linqiang City, has met General Luo Cheng!"
"The last general Zhang Jun, and the Cui Shi met General Luo Cheng--"
"The last one..."
All the generals and the generals stood there and worshiped Luo Zhaoyun on the horse.
Luo Zhaoyun looked calm and solemn. After experiencing many wars, he kept in contact with the emperor and ministers in the court, so he could completely suppress the scene and remain calm. He waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite."
Liang Yuanli and others put down their hands, straightened up, and said, "Please let General Luo enter the city."
Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly, not polite. He rode his horse and led his army into the city. When he met, he should maintain the demeanor and majesty of the leader. Otherwise, he would be easily looked down upon by his new subordinates. This is a way of power and he gradually became familiar with it.
Changsun Wuji saw the desert, border, desolate, cold wind, sand and dust, and dead grass, completely different from the prosperity of the capital. He was very excited. This time he followed the army and gained a lot of insight along the way.
It was the first time that Hou Junji and others were wearing armor and became soldiers. This sense of glory was completely different from the feeling of robbers in the green forest. They seemed to feel that they were full of courage and had a kind of military honor.
Every man has a desire and respect for the military in his heart. Of course, this sense of glory must first be the strong national strength and prosperity, giving the people a sense of confidence and positive energy. Otherwise, a country that declines and fails to win the hearts of the people will also be a group of mobs. Not to mention honor, it is nothing more than a bandit.
After entering the Linqiang City, the military and civilians lived together. There were four barracks in the city, responsible for garrisoning the soldiers. The inner city in the middle was lived by the people.
The general's mansion is located in the inner city. Because there are family members living in daily life, there is also a general's tent between the inner city and the outer city, which is a place where orders and dispatches are usually issued.
Luo Zhaoyun announced the imperial edict, and these garrisoned generals unconditionally obeyed. After all, in the current Sui Dynasty, the emperor's order is above everything else, and no one dared to refute it. Most of them had heard of Luo Zhaoyun's achievements and were also a little curious and respectful to this heroic boy.
"From today, Luo will station in Linqiang City, governing the military soldiers of Pingxi County and Jiaohe County to fight against the invasion of Tuyuhun, and then strengthen training and rectify border defenses. He is ready to attack Tuyuhun at any time, break into the hinterland of Qinghai, and subdue this nomadic people."
Luo Zhaoyun said some scenes, and thought in his mind that he would expand his power here, train a elite soldier, defeat Tuyuhun in advance, accelerate the process of history, and see if it could affect the general trend of history.
According to historical records, in the fourth and fifth years of Daye, the Sui Dynasty fought against Tuyuhun, ending with victory, Yuwen Shu led the army; now he arrived earlier and was preparing to start a war against Tuyuhun next year, that is, the third year of Daye, to advance this historical node, perhaps the process and pace of the Sui Dynasty would change as a result.
Luo Zhaoyun's generals Guo Xiaoke, Changsun, Hou Mo Chenying, Ning Wufei and others were all stationed as the commander of the palace soldiers. During the war, he was obviously one step away from the position of General of the Chariot and Cavalry. If he made a meritorious service this time, he could be granted a title.
As for Hou Junji and six others, Luo Zhaoyun is still staying as a personal guard for the time being. After getting a few sticks, familiarizing himself with the environment and military discipline of the frontier, he will let go and promote himself to the leader of the team, and relies on his own step by step. If he lets go too early, he will easily become a soldier and will not become a seedling of a general, because they know too little about military tactics and military leadership knowledge, and need to bring more hands.
In this way, Luo Zhaoyun was stationed and chose an idle mansion in the city to transform it into a new general's mansion. He asked Liang Yuanli to still live in the original general's mansion and did not occupy the nest. He felt that it was not a good idea to directly order his subordinates to move out.
A few days later, Luo Zhaoyun became familiar with the topographic map, held several meetings, remembered all the generals in these places, and gained an in-depth understanding of the current situation in Tuyuhun.
Tuyuhun established the Khanate in the park in 329. The rules and regulations were similar to the Jin system, and the customs were similar to those of the Turks. They were all Fuqicheng and Qinghai Road, which controlled the Silk Road. When Yang Jian usurped the throne and founded the Sui Dynasty, in the early Sui Dynasty, the Hun Lord Murong Kuolu led his army to invade the Longxi area of the Sui Dynasty and occupied the former territory of the Western Qin Dynasty. Later, civil strife occurred. After the Sui Dynasty unified China, Murong Kuolu greatly reduced the invasion.
Fifteen years ago, Tuyuhun Khan Murong Shifu sent envoys to Sui to marry his relatives. Emperor Wen of Sui married Princess Guanghua to Tuyuhun Khan Shifu. Shifu said he wanted to call Princess Guanghua "Empress", but Emperor Wen of Sui disagreed. A few years later, Tuyuhun was in civil turmoil, Shifu was killed, and his brother Fu Yun succeeded to the throne. According to Tuyuhun custom, Princess Guanghua became the wife of his brother-in-law Murong Fuyun.
In the 17th year of Kaihuang, after Murong Fuyun ascended the throne, he claimed to be a Khan, namely Busabor Khan, and established the Tuyuhun Khanate. At first, he was friendly to the Sui Dynasty and sent envoys to pay tribute, but secretly kept inquiring about the reality of the Sui Dynasty, national strength and other information, and sent troops to the border, often invading the Sui territory to build grass valleys, plundering materials and wealth.
After hearing this, Luo Zhaoyun's eyes flashed. He first trained troops to build elites, and then found an opportunity to attack Tuyuhun! (To be continued.)
