In 186, under a lonely city in Liangzhou, the rebels poured out thousands of Hu cavalry, they knelt down one after another, begging the ** on the city wall to leave the city, and they made an oath that they would ensure that he would return to his hometown.
This is a person with a strong personality, and he is the protagonist of this article - Fu Xie. Fu Xie's character started at a young age, and later changed to Nanrong, a native of Lingzhou, Beidi County. He was eight feet tall and had a burly appearance.
When he was young, he entered Luoyang to study, and studied under the famous minister Liu Kuan, who was not only great in learning, but also behaved like a teacher, generous and kind.
In 184, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and the imperial court sent Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to lead an army of 40,000 people to fight against the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan County.
Before setting out on the expedition, Fu Xie wrote to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and discussed the roots of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He believed that the root cause of the chaos was within the court, and that if the flood was not cured at the source, the downstream would inevitably become more serious.
This war also proved his point. He was a thoughtful, discerning man and a man who dared to speak out. His outspokenness, although not rewarded by the emperor, left a deep impression on history.
It turned out that this group of rebels besieged Jincheng County and coerced the two wealthy clans, Bian Yun and Han Yue. Bian Yun and Han Yue are both wealthy families in Jincheng County, among which Han Yue had also gone to Luoyang to report to work before, and was received by the general He Jin.
Subsequently, this group of rebels broke out again, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were killed, and Bian Yun and Han Yue took the opportunity to annex their troops.
This is different from the previous three Qiang rebellions, this rebellion was organized by the Liangzhou Hao clan to form a large number of hired Qiang and Hu people to form a *** armed force to divide the territory.
Fu Xie, who was in Anding County, saw this very clearly. In 185, the Liangzhou rebel army led by Han Sui and Bian Zhang grew stronger, and the chariot general Huangfu Song was unable to defeat them.
Therefore, Fu Xie was conscripted into the court to serve as a councilor. Situ Cui Lie put forward a proposal to abandon Liangzhou at the court meeting, and Fu Xie stood up and said sharply: "Behead Situ, and the world will be stable!" ”
The ministers were surprised by Fu Xie's remarks, and Shang Shulang Yang Zan came out to play, ** Fu Xie insulted the ministers above the court. However, Emperor Ling knew that Fu Xie was talented, so he asked Fu Xie to defend himself.
Fu Xie explained that Liangzhou is the world's main transportation artery and has the important task of guarding the western gateway of the country. If Liangzhou is abandoned, it will not only make the Hu people stronger, but even endanger the stability of the regime.
Fu Xie's words resonated with many people, and people began to reflect on their own decisions.
As can be seen from the map above, Liangzhou is adjacent to Sili, and if Liangzhou falls, Luoyang, the capital of Sili, and the imperial mausoleum in Chang'an, both will be attacked by the rebel army.
If Cui Lie didn't realize this, it would mean that he was extremely stupid; If, on the other hand, he understands this, but deliberately makes this suggestion, it is disloyalty.
Fu Xie's performance was appreciated by everyone, and whenever there was a vacancy in the post of minister, people recommended him to take the position. However, Fu Xie never got this position because he offended Zhao Zhong again.
Zhao Zhong was evaluating the heroes of the crusade against the Yellow Turban Army, and Zhi Jinwu suggested to Zhao Zhong, thinking that Fu Xie had previously gone out with Huangfu Song to conquer Dongjun, although he had military exploits, but he did not get the title of marquis, which disappointed the people of the world, so when the general personally assessed the heroes of the crusade against the Yellow Turban Army, Fu Xie should be rewarded to meet everyone's expectations.
Fu Xie's prestige was very high at that time, and Zhao Zhong didn't want to be his enemy, so he sent his younger brother Zhao Yan, the captain of the city gate, to visit Fu Xie and express his friendship. Zhao Yan directly said to Fu Xie that as long as he no longer cares about the affairs of the permanent servants, he can easily get the reward of the Marquis of Wanhu.
However, Fu Xie seriously rejected the proposal, saying that it was just a bad fate to not get the title of marquis, but he would never ask for an official in private. Zhao Zhong was very angry when he heard this, but he didn't dare to harm Fu Xie because he was afraid of Fu Xie's prestige.
So, he tried his best to transfer Fu Xie out of the capital and sent him to serve as the Taishou of Hanyang County in Liangzhou, which undoubtedly pushed Fu Xie into danger.
Fu Xie was not afraid of difficulties, and after he took office, he put the people first and treated the Qiang people fairly. Although he was over fifty-nine years old before he first took charge of military power, he always stuck to his dream and finally broke out on the stage of the Eastern Han Dynasty to make a world of his own.
He once said that it is not difficult to pacify the Qiang people, and they only need to be treated with an equal and kind attitude.
Fu Xie, with his wisdom and bravery, moved the rebellious Qiang people to come and surrender. He opened up more than forty camps and placed soldiers outside the city. However, infighting broke out again within the rebels, and Han Sui killed Bian Zhang and annexed his forces.
The more than 100,000 troops commanded by Han Sui surrounded Longxi County, and the Liangzhou assassin Geng Wei had just taken office, and he was not familiar with the situation in the county, so he began to recruit soldiers and horses from the six counties of Liangzhou to crusade against the Liangzhou rebels.
However, his trust in the governance of the mid-range ball was corrupt and perverted, causing dissatisfaction among the army and the people. Fu Xie then made a suggestion to Geng Cong, pointing out that the news of the imminent conquest of the official army would make the rebels unite as one, and the Liangzhou rebels were brave and good at fighting, and it was difficult to be sharp.
At the same time, the newly recruited troops of the six counties have not yet been at peace, and in the event of civil strife, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, he suggested that Geng contempt let the army be repaired, cultivate the prestige of the commander-in-chief, and make the rewards and punishments clear.
In this way, when the thief army sees that the situation has eased, they will inevitably think that our army is cowardly, and they will compete for power and profit among themselves, and they will inevitably deviate from morality. Then lead the people who have been taught, and ask for the thieves who have been separated, and the great work can sit and wait for it to be completed. February** Dynamic Incentive Program
