Chapter 433 Take a Gamble
Beiliu, the gate of hell.
The name of Beiliu is named after the Guijiang River flowing northward in the territory. Beiliu County was established in the Southern Qi Dynasty, and Beiliu County was changed to Beiliu County in the Southern Liang Dynasty. Sui belonged to Hepu County, Wude five years Lingnan belonged to Datang, Beiliu County belonged to Tongzhou.
Not long ago, Chang'an ordered Lingnan to merge with prefectures and counties, and Beiliu was assigned to Rongzhou.
Backed against the Yunkai Mountain, it connects the east and west roads of Lingnan, so the location is important.
"Ah Chi!"
Tan Dian's nose was itchy, and he couldn't help but sneezed heavily. Rubbing his nose, "Who is reading Lao Tzu?"
"Could it be King Qin Yan?" Liao Shuai Fusan walked in, "I heard that Feng An sent a lot of money, food, soldiers and horses to King Qin Yan, and even sent many large ships. Guilin has already gone straight down to Guiping, Xunzhou, and is coming for us."
With a dark face, Tan Dian picked up a piece of beef and threw it into his mouth to chew. Guiping, Xunzhou, is located at the confluence of Dunijiang (Qianjiang) and Yushui (Yongjiang), and it is only one Xiuzhou away from Rongzhou. If you come from the west, you will only be separated by a thick forest.
And Feng An, the damned guy, has recently been raising his troops in the Gaoluo Zhuzhou, and he may cross the clouds and open the mountains to kill him at any time. Even Chen Longshu, governor of Longzhou, was also mobilizing troops.
The situation is no longer optimistic.
Fusan is the leader of the Zuoxi Liao people who came from Yongzhou. He was invited by Tan Dian to discuss matters, but when the real thing came to an end, Tan Dian hesitated.
"What are you waiting for? If you wait any longer, they will be encircled."
"Wait a little longer!" Tan Dian picked up the bowl and drank a big sip of wine, his face flushed.
He felt that this battle was not easy to fight. It was not like before. Qin Lang's series of actions after passing the strict test were confusing. "I got the news that it seems that Qin Lang and Feng An can't have any unhappiness. Feng An somehow offended Qin Lang, and now he is offering gifts to Qin Lang in every possible way, but Qin Lang doesn't seem to pay much attention to him."
"In addition, my people heard that Qin Lang said several times in public that Lingnan should be stable and not chaotic. He also said that the Han and Yue families are relatives, and the barbarians are brothers. I think it may not be possible to fight."
Actually, Tan Dian was also worried that if a fight really happened, he might not win.
This Qin Lang's reputation is too great, especially when he entered Lingnan, he fought such a beautiful battle. This is different from the people Tan Dian has met before, and the key point is that Feng An is so careful with Qin Lang, which shows how powerful this Qin Lang is. After all, Feng An is also well-known in Lingnan, and has always been It is because no one looks down on other barbarian kings.
"Send someone to Guiping, Xunzhou, to keep an eye on Qin Lang, and wait and see!"
"Brother Fu, go back to Youjiang first, and wait for news from me. If there is a real fight, we will raise our troops together."
·······
Tan Dian stood still and waited and watched the situation.
Seeing that Qin Lang didn't continue to go south after arriving in Xunzhou, but kept letting out rumors about peace and stability. After saying these things about the Hanyue family, Tan Dian also relaxed his vigilance a little.
He judged that Qin Lang might not want to fight, after all, he heard that the imperial court was going to use a large number of troops against the northern Turks. Combined with Qin Lang's appeasement to the Yuecheng Man, he also hesitated.
Tentatively sent envoys to Xunzhou to meet Qin Lang and present many gifts.
After half a month of suffering, finally someone from Xunzhou came.
"The six prefectures of Xiu, Rong, Tong, Dang, Lao, and Yulin are merged into Rongzhou, and the six states of Gui, Yan, Bin, Cheng, Chun, and Heng are merged into Hengzhou."
"Tan Dian moved to Hengzhou Governor, and Chen Longshu moved to Rongzhou Governor."
"Please talk about the governor and immediately go to Guiping to meet Qin Xuanxiang and accept the seal."
Tan Dian took this order, looked left and right, and read it over and over again. I don’t know how many times I have read it.
He was guessing what this meant. At this juncture, Qin Lang wanted to transfer him from Rongzhou to Hengzhou, and it was such a big move to combine states. The most important thing was to let Chen Longshu take over Xinrongzhou.
What is Qin Lang's calculation, and let him go to Xunzhou to meet him first.
"I can't go, it must be a trick of the surname Qin. If I go, it will fall into their hands. Wouldn't it be up to them to decide whether to kill or cut?" The brothers persuaded.
Ke Tandian hesitated.
"The envoy of Qin Lang also brought me a message, asking me to raise 10,000 stone grains and transport them to Xunzhou, saying that they would be transported to the Central Plains. What do you mean by that?"
"Cheat food!" Several barbarian leaders said.
But Tan Dian didn't think so. If Qin Lang wanted to lure him to Guiping to kill him, why would he still ask him to collect food and transport it there?
"I think this is Qin Lang's intentional message to show his sincerity."
Oppose if you don't accept the gift? It sounds strange, but it is not surprising to interpret it according to the tradition, because since the Qin and Han Dynasties, although Lingnan was attached to the Central Plains, it was actually governed by the local kings.
Emperor Chang'an suddenly refused to accept tribute, so they couldn't help thinking that the emperor wanted to abolish tribute and replace it with taxes. This was absolutely unacceptable to them, so they all turned against it.
But this time Qin Lang sent envoys to ask him for food. Besides food, he also asked for many things, such as gold and silver, ivory, ox scraps, spices, etc. unique to Lingnan, and Hepu pearls.
There are a lot of things to ask for, plus 10,000 shi of grain. In the original words of the messenger, he used a word for these things, local tribute.
Asking for Tugong, isn't that going back to the past?
Are you going to continue with that set of rules?
"Qin Lang can't be trusted!"
A group of barbarian kings persuaded.
But Tan Dian shook his head and said, "According to my understanding, Qin Lang's words are quite good. They made chaos across the city, attacked states and broke counties, but Qin Lang recruited them in the same way in the end, and treated them very well afterwards."
For a long time, Tan Dian was actually very entangled.
"I think this is a conspiracy. Otherwise, Bingzhou would be merged. Why would you be transferred to Hengzhou? See who is transferred to Rongzhou. Isn't this vigilant enough?"
Qin Lang wants to transfer Chen Longshu to Rongzhou.
Who is Chen Longshu? Speaking of him, this is Tan Dian's old friend.
During the Sui Dynasty, Tan Dian was only the head chief of Luodou Cave in the north of Gaozhou in the southwest of Yunkai Mountain. During the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty, the young Tan Dian was still loyal to the Chen family in Longzhou in the north.
At that time Longzhou was Chen Longshu's father, Chen Fozhi, and the Chen family in Longzhou was already the third generation there at that time. Chen Fozhi helped Chen Baxian put down the Hou Jing Rebellion and established Nanchen, and he was named the prefect of Nanjing, the governor of Xihengzhou, and the Duke of Anjing County. It was relied on by Emperor Chen Wu.
In the tenth year of Emperor Kaihuang, the army of the Sui Dynasty crossed south to destroy Chen. Yang Jian sent Wei Guang as the general manager of Guangzhou to appease Lingnan. Mrs. Xian, the head of the Feng family in Gaoliang County, led her troops to join her, and sent her grandson Feng Hun to lead the army to welcome Wei Guang into Guangzhou.
At that time, Chen Fozhi in Longzhou thought of Chen Chaoende and was unwilling to join him. He joined forces with Guangzhou Chieftain Wang Zhongxuan to fight against the Sui Dynasty.
Madam Xian then sent her grandson Feng Xuan to lead troops to attack the Chen family, and Feng Xuan had a very good relationship with Chen Fozhi, and she did not want to trouble the Sui Dynasty. Another grandson, Feng An, was reassigned to lead the army.
Chen Fozhi finally died in Feng Ang's army. His son Chen Longshu was escorted by Tan Dian, who was in Chen Fozhi's army, with barbarian guards to escape from the battlefield. force.
Ning Mengli, the patriarch of the Ning family at that time, was born on the same day as Empress Chen, and had a noble appearance. After Chen's death, he didn't want to return to the Sui Dynasty, so he took Chen Longshu in.
Tan Dian was defeated in the Chen Clan of Longzhou, Chen Fozhi died in battle, and after Chen Longshu avoided disaster in Qinzhou, he took the lead alone and united with the chiefs of Zhuxidong in Yunwu and Yunkai Mountains to continue to resist the expansion of the Feng family in Gaoliang County.
In a series of battles, the young Tan Dian, because of his heroic act of rescuing Chen Longshu and his resourcefulness in fighting the Feng family, gradually won him the crowd of the barbarians in Zhuxidong, and gradually replaced Chen Longshu. Since then, he has brought the Huaide Mountains into his sphere of influence, and then expanded southward to Gaozhou and Luozhou, and southwestward to Hezhou and Beiliu.
Became the biggest barbarian king in this area.
After Chen Longshu defected to Ning Mengli in Qinzhou, he repeatedly asked Ning Mengli to help send troops to recover Longzhou, but Ning Mengli was always just pretending to be a snake. The people belonged to the Tang Dynasty together.
Chen Longshu was first appointed as the governor of Qinzhou, and later served as the governor of Nanfu, Jianwan, Pu, Nan, Shi, Long and other states, and finally returned to his hometown of Longzhou as he wished.
It's just 20 years apart, things are different, people are different, once the Chen family's Longzhou, the flat land was mostly occupied by the Feng family, and the mountainous area was controlled by the Tandian.
Chen Longshu came back again, everything changed.
Tan Dian, a friend from back then, was no longer willing to follow his orders.
Wait until the seventh year of Wude, after the Lingnan rebellion caused by the court's refusal to accept the Hepu Dazhu tribute from Qinzhou, Tan Dian also joined forces with Ning Changzhen and Feng Xuan, but Chen Longshu led his troops to join Feng An's crusade camp.
Feng Xuan, Ning Changzhen, and Tan Dian, who were friends back then, are now enemies.
Feng An, the enemy back then, has become an ally instead.
However, in the last battle between the two sides, Feng An finally cheated Chen Longshu. He said that he would march together to destroy Tan Dian and Feng Xuan first, and then all the land in Longzhou belonged to Chen Longshu, and Feng Xuan's land belonged to Feng. oz.
Who knew that when Chen Longshu led his troops into the mountainous area and fought with Feng Xuan in Tan Dian, Feng An deliberately did not send troops. Chen Longshu was outnumbered and finally withdrew in a big defeat, but Feng An sent troops. When Tan Feng's family pursued the defeated Chen Longshu, Feng An attacked unexpectedly and defeated Tan Dian.
Taking advantage of the victory, he seized many sites, and even robbed Chen Longshu of many sites, but refused to return them afterwards.
So Chen Longshu and Feng An fell in love again.
Tan Dian also lost a lot last time, not to mention that Feng An robbed a lot of territory, and even fought hard with Chen Longshu, losing a lot of soldiers and horses.
Because of this, many subordinates were very dissatisfied when they saw that Qin Lang wanted Chen Longshu to be the governor of Rongzhou. Because this merged Xinzhou is basically the sphere of influence of the original Tandian.
Sorry, I thought it was too late, the update is a bit late!
