1222 Fight for your life

The sudden appearance of a blood edict of the emperor in Chang'an not only caused a sudden rise in Tianzhongxingtai, but also caused a great sensation in Jingzhao.

Although this incident reveals a falsehood no matter how you look at it, for the people of Jingzhao, it at least played a role, that is, to make them realize that they were also the former people of Jinzuo, and they were not naturally hostile to Tianzhong Xingtai.

It may seem ridiculous, but it's a fact. The rebellion in Guanzhong was much earlier than the rebellion in the world, and during the Taikang period of Emperor Wu, there was a drought for many years, and the rebellion continued, and until Emperor Hui succeeded to the throne, and soon ushered in the rebellion of the eight kings that lasted for more than ten years, and there was no effective management of Guanzhong.

Although Emperor Hui and Emperor Chu came to Guanzhong twice, they were all spinning around, and they did not let the people of Guanzhong feel the majesty of the Jinzuo monarchy at all. The people are either displaced, or they are under the shadow of their own power. and the second two Zhao times arose, in which chaos arose. So much so that a large number of Guanzhong are not clear at all whose people they are.

The king of Xingtai knocked on the three assistants, making the top and bottom of the pass throbbing and uneasy. At this time, Du Hong took out a blood edict of Emperor Chu, so that the people at the bottom of Guanzhong understood that they and those Kwantung people were actually the same master, and they shared the same banner. Therefore, it plays a very important role in the pacification of people's hearts.

The people are no longer agitated and throbbing, and it is naturally easier to pacify and manage. As for some of the rogue military leaders, they were also pleased that Chang'an still held such a chip hole card, so they all subconsciously moved closer to Chang'an to avoid wandering in the wild and being injured by mistake, probably also dreaming of helping righteous deeds and seeking officials.

But not everyone is so optimistic, especially some Jing Zhaohao clans who are really not weak and have a broad vision, and their understanding of the situation is naturally much more comprehensive. One did not believe that he could force Wang Shi to retire with a mere old edict full of loopholes, and the other may have secretly built a bridge to join Wang Shi.

You must know that a considerable part of the main force of the front line of the Wang Division stationed in Hongnong is the army from Xiangyang, and Xiangyang happens to be the main settlement of the Yongliang people who fled south.

However, Du Hong suddenly did such an incident, which was inevitable to anger Xingtai, and also forced these people to have no room to wait and see, either surrender to Wang Shi as soon as possible, or they might be annihilated as Du Hong's party accomplices in the later war.

Therefore, when Du Hong publicized this so-called blood edict, many Jing Zhaohao Qiang soon came to Chang'an to reprimand.

Although Chang'an is called the capital of Guanzhong, the city has been seriously damaged after years of vicious fighting around this place, and it has long been no longer a heroic city. At present, this city is still located in the old base of the Han and Zhao dynasties, but the collapse of large sections of the city wall, the order in the inner and outer squares is gone. Even the palace buildings built by Liu Yao in the early years were burned by Shi Zhao and became ruins.

Although the city is dilapidated, it is replaced by various dock walls, large and small, dividing the inside and outside of the city into independent areas. The area occupied by Du Hong is located in the northeast corner of the city, the area between the Shiji City and the outer edge, the corner between Weishui and Bashui.

Within the realm, there are more than 10 docks, the forts and the docks are miscellaneous, the distance between the docks and the forts is several miles, and the short ones are within dozens of zhang, and the crowd reaches tens of thousands.

Du Hong is less than forty years old, the whole person looks short and stout, in the face of a group of villagers to be held accountable, his person is quite calm, grinning: "You villagers don't need to blame me for doing Meng Lang, I and other villagers already have the idea of righteousness, only because Wu Raccoon dog is in the sky, cold and unkind, it has not been done." Fortunately, the edict of the former king happened to go out of the village, so that we and other villagers could return to righteousness and hope......"

"Is the general's words unsightly? The current rural disease is in the middle of the sky. General Shen of Xingtai, the holder of the Jiangdong order, with this old book, how much restraint can it be? Besides, the old king has been in the kingdom for a long time, and it is really ...... to publicize his decree in this way."

Although Du Hong's eyes are powerful, the other villagers are not afraid of him. They are not so much master and slave as cooperation, and for them, Du Hong is just a person who has been elected to be responsible for negotiating with Xingtai. So as soon as Du Hong's voice fell, even when someone spoke.

When the man finished speaking, the others around him couldn't hold back their voices, expressing their dissatisfaction with Du Hong's rash and rash behavior.

Du Hong sneered at the corner of his mouth, quietly listening to the rebuke of the villagers. Although he was agreed to be the leader by the villagers, he was actually not the strongest in terms of seniority or strength.

Although he was born in the Jingzhao family, he was not a famous family in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the Duling Du clan who lived in Duling, as early as a few generations ago, lived in Gaoling, north of Weishui, so among the famous families of Jingzhaohao, it was an out-and-out small character, and it was not even valued by the villagers.

The reason why he can enter Chang'an now is because he served under Shi Sheng in the old years, commanded all the troops of the family and became a soldier, and the other is because the families were unwilling to fight in person, and they each helped Du Hong to attack the garrison of Shizhao Guanzhong, so that Du Hong was able to enter here.

Du Hong also knew in his heart that although he claimed to be the lord of Chang'an, he was just a puppet and a tongue to the outside world that these heroes had helped.

Chang'an is called the capital of Guanzhong, but now it is only a dilapidated city wall, not enough to defend, not enough to cultivate, even if there are many Jin, Hu Youshi, and Liukou gathered around, they are also unruly. Even if it does, it will not gain much practical benefit at all, but will put itself in a high-profile and dangerous situation.

These Jingzhao heroes have been inherited for several generations or even more than ten generations according to the local area, and they have a deep foundation, and they can become extralegal portals behind closed doors, and they are comfortable in the current situation. Even if Guanzhong was in turmoil and experienced the successive reigns of the two Zhaos, it did not damage their actual interests much.

In the early years, Liu Yao invaded Guanzhong and captured Emperor Jin, but he still felt very troubled by these Jingzhao clans. These villagers have their own high walls, not inferior to the fortified city, I don't know how many people are sheltered in the inside, and if they want to overcome it by force, the difficulty is even more than that of the captured Jin Emperor. This may seem ridiculous, but it is true.

Of course, these heroes are not weak in their ability to watch the wind and the situation, and they hide in the dock wall to form their own unity, and they also falsely obey the decrees of Han and Zhao to the outside world. At the same time, Liu Yao at that time had a strong enemy Shile in the Guandong, and there was a constant chaos in the Guannei, and he had no energy and time to smash these turtle shells one by one.

Later, Liu Yao's army was defeated in Luoyang and captured, and his son Liu Xi, who stayed in Chang'an, was even more unable to control these Jingzhao heroes, and Shi Zhao's army had not even entered Guanzhong, so he left Chang'an and fled to Longshang. These heroes turned their heads and elected several generals of Han Zhao and submitted a letter of surrender to Shi Zhao.

Later, because Shi Sheng sent by Shi Zhao neither showed a strong posture nor gave them enough benefits, he took advantage of the comeback of the remnants of the Liu clan to respond with slogans again. But the result was that the Liu clan was really not angry, and was defeated by the successor Shi Hu, and finally the clan was wiped out in Shangtai.

Shi Hu was full of malice towards these rural heroes, and planned to support the Qiang and Dihu tribes to suppress the township heroes, but unfortunately his people were highly ambitious and were soon transferred back to Hebei. As for Shi Sheng, who stayed behind, he didn't have that ability and courage. Until Shi Zhao's internal strife, these heroes directly supported Du Hong and expelled Shi Sheng and Guo from Sanfu.

Du Hong seems to have tens of thousands of people at his head, which is quite powerful, but the dilapidated city wall of Chang'an that he occupies cannot be called a foundation at all. Moreover, among his disciples, there are not only many hidden private songs of the great sects, once they plan to abandon Du Hong, more than half of these tens of thousands of people will be dispersed in an instant.

Therefore, compared with these real heroes, Du Hong is just a clown on the table. Like the representative of Jingzhao Haoqiang, Du Ling Wei has been based in the suburbs for a long time, and there are many ethnic groups in themselves, and the villagers and shaders associated with it are not even more ordinary.

As for the Duling Du family, which really enjoys the prestige of Jingzhao County, it is a famous family since the Wei and Jin dynasties, especially the Du pre family in the Chinese and Korean dynasties, which is not inferior to many famous families in the Kwantung region. And it is precisely because it is too conspicuous that the Du Ling Du clan has become the main target of suppression by those in power, and the Du Pre branch of the Emperor of Yanzong either went west or crossed south, but even so, there is still no lack of influence in the countryside.

Several others may not be as prominent as Webster and Ducht, but they should not be underestimated. So in the face of these people's accusations, no matter how ashamed Du Hong was in his heart, he could only bear it on his back.

waited until everyone's reprimands were over, and then Du Hong spoke: "I and other villagers don't know righteousness, and I don't know that the Jin country is powerful now, and I really can't be stubborn." But I was recommended by the villagers to sit in Chang'an, and I also want to seek a stable future for the country. In the past few months, I have repeatedly sent envoys to show loyalty and righteousness, but how Wu Raccoon treats me, don't you see? ”

"Hongnong Yang's family, a famous family at home, was relied on by raccoon dogs to fight against his bravery, and his clan was not only wiped out, but also listed crimes and slandered his family. Isn't it enough to make my villagers vigilant? The raccoon dog slave is just the material of the island and the wasteland, and I am afraid that my Chinese family will lose its power after entering the unification. But the Sanfu countryside has been devastated for a long time, and we and other villagers have been guarding their business so far, which can be described as full of blood and tears, how can we give it up so easily! ”

"This time, the old edict of the former king, the words are still loyal and righteous, even if they are afraid, they will definitely go straight to Chang'an to attack me, and they will not look at the villagers too much. What is the regret of my life, it is nothing more than to defend the battle to the death, so that he knows that my Jingzhao Township is brave and cannot be insulted! If I can keep Chang'an steady, I may be able to fight for a first-line turnaround......"

When everyone heard this, they all frowned and groaned. Du Hong's words really hit their hearts, they didn't even resist the thief Zhao, they just wanted to protect the foundation of the township, how could they forcibly prevent Wang Shixing from entering the customs.

But the problem is that the tragedy of Hongnong Yang was in front of them, and the company was too stingy, and even some celebrities did not promise vanity, which made them full of hesitation and unoptimism. Even if they communicate secretly, they are stuck in this point and have not made progress.

Now that Du Hong is pretending to be the emperor's edict, it is conceivable that he will inevitably anger Xingtai, and he will definitely attack Chang'an in the coming day, and take Du Hong as the primary target of eradication. As Du Hong said, as long as he is not defeated, it will be difficult for Wang Shi to have the spare strength to sweep the surrounding area.

Especially if you can make them a little frustrated in Chang'an, it may not be impossible to change Xingtai's attitude towards them. What's more, Xingtai is not without opponents, Shi Hu in Hebei, Shi Sheng in Pingyang and even Liu Changming in Beidi are all looking at the side, and it is difficult for Xingtai to put the main force of Wang Shi in the pass.

If you want to settle the pass quickly, you naturally need to sit down and talk to them in detail, and at that time, they will naturally be able to get a little turnaround and initiative, which is far better than the current state.

But the question is, can Du Hong withstand Wang Shi's attack? And is he really so noble, guarding Chang'an with his life to win a turnaround for the villagers?

Seeing that the villagers were still suspicious, Du Hong sighed again: "I am in the countryside, but I have a small strength, if there is no help from the villagers, it is difficult to have the current posture." It is my honor to repay my hometown with my life. But Wang Shi is brave and good at fighting, and I really can't guarantee whether he can defend it, so I have to ask the villagers for a little help. ”

Speaking of this, he paused again, and then said: "The edict has been revealed, and I have become a thief who must be eliminated on the stage, and I dare not hope for life again." This life is really not a pity, although the ambition to repay the country, but thinking of the family business is afraid of self-extinction, there is no face to visit the ancestors under the Yellow Spring. How many sons are under your knees, I wonder if you folks can take a little shelter? I don't want to sing at home, as long as I can continue the bloodline a little, I will kneel down and thank you, grateful......"

After everyone heard this, the suspicion gradually subsided, and then there was no shortage of people who showed their intentions. Du Hong made such a reckless move, and when Wang Shi was obviously powerful, it was impossible for them to follow the response, but they were really unwilling to switch to the bank with no guarantee at all.

Now that Du Hong dares to take the initiative to attract Wang Shi's hatred to attract an attack, they secretly fund some capitalists in exchange for a turnaround, which is also worth a try.

So after a little silence, someone in the banquet began to speak, no longer reprimanding Du Hong for being rash and Meng Lang, but praising his high righteousness.

Seeing that the attitude of the villagers had changed, Du Hong also sneered in his heart. The so-called situation is pressing, because he does not have a deep township foundation, if he wants to get ahead, he can only fight with his life.

Since being put in a conspicuous position in Chang'an by the villagers, it can be said that one foot has stepped into Huangquan, unless he can succeed, otherwise no matter which side attacks Guanzhong, he will definitely die.

Xingtai has a tough attitude, there is no possibility of bargaining and negotiation, and Du Hong never believes that these villagers will accompany him to fight to the death, and in order to protect himself, there is a high probability that he will be pushed out. So with or without this false edict, his fate can be said to be doomed.

In this case, you might as well put yourself to death first, and then use the unwillingness of the villagers to obtain a part of the actual available funding, increase your strength a little, and maybe get a glimmer of life.

It's not the first time these townsmen have done something like this. Previously, Liu Yao, the lord of the Han Dynasty, wanted to exert his efforts to eradicate these powerful forces in the countryside at this time, but then the Bayi rebellion occurred, which caused chaos in Guanzhong, and there was no lack of help behind it.

After the rebellion was quelled, Liu Yao did not dare to abuse him wantonly, and indirectly achieved the goal of suppressing the township tyrants by moving Di and Hu internally, and collecting wealth and goods. And the final result is that Han Zhao was dragged to death, but the township is still strong.

At present, the Wang Division's strategy is in Guanzhong, in fact, the situation is vaguely similar to the situation in the early years. It is also a very wise choice to choose Du Hong as a candidate to attract hatred to contain Wang Shi's energy and delay the move to break the order of the countryside. They don't even need Du Hong to defend Chang'an, as long as his people are still alive and circulating, the more chaotic Guanzhong is, the safer they will be.

So soon these Jingzhao heroes also reached a consensus, and on the surface, they each led the people to return to the countryside to defend themselves, and no longer had contact with Du Hong, but secretly they also provided a lot of goods and equipment, even including the people they had snared. The people of Guanzhong are mostly in Sanfu, and the people of Sanfu have half of Chang'an.

With sufficient goods, goods and weapons, Du Hong's power also surged, and the number of soldiers who were originally less than 20,000 quickly multiplied. Although Guanzhong has many strong beams, there are more bandits on the roam, as long as they can get food supplies, they will naturally gather.

With the rapid growth of his own power, Du Hong was also full of confidence for a while, and all the old and weak people in the subordinates were expelled from the outside, and the subordinates were stacked and displayed on the ba, in order to consume the sharp energy of the Jin army from afar.

Of course, he was not blindly confident, and he did not feel that these rabble alone could stick to Chang'an, and while the goods in his hands were abundant, he also mobilized all parties to form a fine army of thousands, and was ready to flee immediately if the battle ahead was not good.

Towards the end of April, Wang Shi's army marched from Hongnong again, with the elite cavalry of the Fenwu army as the vanguard, Huan Xuan led 20,000 troops, Lu Yong's water army 10,000, and Guo Yutong led 20,000 rear roads, totaling nearly 60,000 troops. More than half of the camp in the middle of the road, there have been frequent good news ahead. ()
