Chapter 233: Wanting to Pingliangzhou
"My Lord, are those people from the Great Qin Kingdom? I heard that they are rich in treasures."
In front of the stairs of the main palace, the guards came forward to lead the horses for Liu Cang and others. Before entering the palace, Pan Feng did not forget to look back at the group of Romans in the distance. Pan Feng asked curiously, and Liu Yuan, Xu Qun and others also pricked up their ears.
.
"The Roman Empire, the Western Empire that rose at the same time as the Qin Dynasty in the Han Dynasty, should be regarded as the end point of the Silk Road trade route? There are some animals and plants that are not found in the Han Dynasty. Things are rare and valuable. Take off your silk coat.
Yes, it will be a treasure if you get it to them." Liu Cang joked to Pan Feng.
The Han Dynasty usually referred to Rome as Da Qin, and the big character was equivalent to a description that showed the national power. Similarly, the Han Dynasty was also called Da Han, or Da Qin.
It has to be said that in this era, the word Qin was widely used among foreign countries.
Nowadays, the Han Dynasty has direct economic exchanges with Rome, and many Chinese people have a clear understanding of the Romans, Parthians, and Kushans. However, these concepts have become more closed and backward in later generations.
"Rome? My lord is very knowledgeable." Jia Xu said with a smile.
"Haha, but they shouldn't be considered Romans. Rome is blocked by the ocean, and Chinese caravans usually come to the territory of the Parthians. These should be foreigners who returned to the Han in the early years, and from time to time there are also some Parthian slaves following along.
Silk Road escapes to the border, and these Li people will be taken in when they encounter them." Jia Xu explained.
"Oh? I heard that the lady over there is nice. I will go there if I have some time later." Liu Cang said with a smile.
"Haha, my lord, I am very interested. If given the chance, Xu would also like to experience the exotic scenery." Jia Xu said happily.
"Hey, let's go together, let's go together." All the soldiers laughed.
If there is a caravan familiar with the route, it will only take about two years to go back and forth on the Silk Road to Rome. You may encounter some bandits and make things difficult for you on the way. Obviously, no one in Liu Cang's group is afraid of this.
The crowd walked into the main palace while chatting and joking. There were already more than a dozen people waiting in the main hall. Dong Zhuo was only accompanied by Hua Xiong, Zhou Shen, and Bao Hong, all of whom were single. However, Liu Cang was accompanying many people, making him extremely conspicuous.
Zhang Wen sat in the main seat and talked with everyone from time to time. Seeing Liu Cang's arrival, Dong Zhuo's generals nodded to Liu Cang.
In the hall, there were some people dressed in cloth and brocade who bowed their hands to Liu Cang in greeting. These people were not military lieutenants. They were basically powerful people with some family business in Liangzhou.
"Is the matter done?" Zhang Wen asked Liu Cang casually.
"Well, the troops have returned to camp, equipped with sudden cavalry. Thank you for your help." Liu Cang responded to Zhang Wen, and then everyone in the hall handed over.
Everyone said that nothing happened, but Bao Hong and Zhao Rong had more complicated expressions. Like Liu Cang, they had also received the post of Xiyuan school captain.
Bao Hong and Zhao Rong's complicated emotions were not because Liu Hong sent troops to Liu Cang alone, but because Liu Hong wanted to trap Liu Cang alone, and they also needed to raise their own armaments.
As the first soldier to enter the camp, Liu Cang set an example and armed the first battalion of the lower army into two thousand assault cavalry without any resistance. It is conceivable that the other Xiyuan captains were not worried about it anyway.
It would be so comfortable.
"The old man from the Hanyang Temple Worker has already said hello to remove the armaments and replace them with equivalent iron items when needed." Liu Cang found a seat and sat down, and the entourage stood behind him. Zhang Wen explained again as if he was worried.
As for the generals accompanying him, Liu Cang's idea was actually quite simple. It was better to show them more faces and create more karma.
"Don't worry, Commander, I know the rules." Liu Cang replied.
Liu Cang's war horses and harnesses were enough to form a battalion of assault cavalry, but there were still a lot of Yulin cavalry standard weapons. Hanyang was a large city under the jurisdiction of the county, and there were already local temple workers responsible for forging.
The local arsenal cannot be touched without authorization. Liu Cang has obtained the privilege, but if he wants to transfer the local arsenal's weapons, he also needs to replace them with iron items of the same quality so that the temple workers can replenish the arsenal as soon as possible.
Liu Cang didn't bother with this anymore. Bao Hong and Zhao Rong secretly pouted. Huang Zhongyi was completely stolen from the Hu family by Liu Cang. How could Liu Cang lack the iron weapons to arm two thousand people?
"Now that everyone is here, the DPRK has issued a military order to send troops to Jincheng to encircle and suppress the rebels." Liu Cang was fine, Zhang Wen looked serious, everyone was waiting quietly, and Zhang Wen spoke loudly.
"This time to suppress the rebellion, all the generals must use their lives. Your Majesty is deeply gratified that the local righteous people have helped to suppress the rebellion. You should set an example for the world. However, you are all powerful men in Liangzhou, so you should restrain your subordinates and not disrupt the military situation.
"
All the generals in the army were sitting on the left side of the hall, and on the right were dozens of Liangzhou powerful men. Zhang Wen looked at the crowd on the right and said, when everyone responded, many glanced at Liu Cang.
"The rebellion in Liangzhou has been suppressed. The people's support is in line. Qinchuan has gathered more than 40,000 volunteers. What do you think of this?" Zhang Wen asked loudly from the commanding officer's seat.
Liu Cang had been at peace during this period, but now Zhang Wen's waist was no longer sore, his legs were no longer hurting, and his temperament also brought out the coldness of a military commander. Zhang Wen glanced at the generals in the hall, speaking majestically and resoundingly.
Forty thousand righteous followers prepared their own baggage, just to push back the rebels. The people of Liangzhou were very popular, and He Jin also asked Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen to quickly mobilize their troops. Zhang Wen said that he, the cavalry general, had finally become the leader.
It had a bit of a taste.
Now that the government and army had sufficient food and grass, Bao Hong's conquest of the area was smooth, and he also had the cooperation of local powerful men.
These local tycoons actively joined the army, obviously not only to fight, but also hoped to communicate with Liu Cang, so that Liu Cang could drive away the beasts and clear some wild areas where ferocious beasts often roamed.
"Commander, although there are many loyal followers, after all, they are people rather than soldiers. Casualties and casualties in random battles are harmful to the people's livelihood in Liangzhou. To defeat the thieves and put down the rebellion, we need to be the main ones." Among the generals in the hall, Bao Hong was the first to feel helpless.
live.
Liu Cang is now famous but not powerful. We cannot let those Yi Cong take action, let alone Liu Cang leading those Yi Cong. Otherwise, after the First World War, Liu Cang will definitely gain power in Liangzhou. Liangzhou has shallow water and cannot accommodate him.
He is a big fish.
"Oh? What General Bao said is not unreasonable, but Hanyang is still far away from Jincheng. If the army moves, food and grass must accompany it. Most of our troops are infantry, and the march will be delayed. If the rebels flee, there may be another incident in the war." Zhang Wen.
frown.
"Commander, the Northern Army's cavalry camp has set out and will arrive at the army soon. Now that the army's food is ready, it will make it difficult for the rebel Qingqi to cause trouble again." Zhou Shen stood up and reported.

Commander, just wait for the cavalry to be in place. We will wait for the cavalry to come out by land and water. The cavalry will approach Jincheng, and the infantry will
Going north along the Weihe River will not delay your journey." Dong Zhuo nodded and said in agreement.
The three of them said something to each other, Yuan Pang closed his eyes and rested, Sun Jian had disdain on his lips, and Liu Cang was somewhat speechless.
What these guys said is good. If they had done this earlier, they would have pushed back the rebels in minutes. But it took almost a year to say it, which is a bit boring.
Among the three, Zhou Shen is simpler. He just wants to grab credit. He was not panicking at first, but now it seems that he is no longer needed. Let alone him, He Jin is panicking.
"Well, that's not bad. Haoxuan, Wentai, you guys.
"Zhang Wen nodded and pretended, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he wanted to ask Liu Cang and Sun Jian, but Dong Zhuo interrupted again.
"Commander!" Dong Zhuo looked serious.
"The scouts came early to report that Han Sui killed Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu. He seemed to have the intention of supporting his troops for independence."
"The rebel Song Yang gathered troops to invade Didao. Li Shen, the governor of Longxi, seemed to have the intention of joining the rebels. In the direction of Xiliang, Huang Yan, the governor of Jiuquan, gathered troops for no reason. The situation here also needs to be carefully investigated and paid attention to."
Dong Zhuo interrupted Zhang Wen's words, Sun Jian frowned, Yuan Pang also opened his eyes, and Liu Cang acted as if the matter was none of his business.
There are not many peaceful leaders in Liangzhou. Jia Xu had already analyzed with him earlier that there must be disputes to mediate among the powerful people in Liangzhou, and this has already happened.
"General Dong! The rebels are bringing trouble to Longxi, and the voice of a county in Longxi to quell the rebellion is rising. Ma is not talented and is recommended by the public. He will lead Longxi Yi Congwanqi and swear to ensure that Longxi is safe." As soon as Dong Zhuo finished speaking, among the powerful people from all walks of life,
A tall and strong man stood up.
I saw that he was nearly two meters tall, with a strong body and a strong voice. He had a strong Han appearance, but also had a sharp nose and deep eyes. He should be a mixed race.
"Commander, Fufeng Ma Teng, please fight in Longxi! I hope the commander will agree!" the big man shouted, Dong Zhuo frowned and looked coldly.
Ma Teng and Ma Shoucheng, who had not yet returned to the Xiliang tribe, did not go to the rebel Han Sui to help them, but turned a corner and went directly to suppress the rebels.
