Chapter 166: The World Is in Turmoil (7)

Gao Heng was worried that the Black Turban Army would attract the main force of the Central Plains countries to the north, and he intended to divert the tiger from the mountain, evacuate the defense line of Qianyue Mountain, and use the foreign captives to invade the north to defeat the main army of the Central Plains, so as to make the Central Plains bigger and consolidate the foundation.

The Jin Xuedi clan lives in the south of Qianyue Mountain for a long time, its location and national conditions are unknown, each time the north invades as little as four or five hundred thousand, at most as high as eight or nine hundred thousand troops, and generally equipped with iron weapons and light and heavy cavalry, using the unique unicorn horse to transport supplies, a large number of grain and grass from the inland controlled by Jin Xuedi to the north in a steady stream, in order to supply the army's grain and grass expenses.

The Central Plains is in turmoil, and then there are foreign enemies knocking on the side, and the crisis of the Central Plains Dynasty will be added to the snow.

If Jin Xuedi suddenly knocks on the pass before the royal guests are assembled, with only 100,000 Song Guozhen southern troops, it will be difficult to parry the more fierce Jin Xuedi, and the situation in the Central Plains will be more sinister at that time.

Not long after Qin Wangjun left the city, Tang Tao hurried back to Guile Fang, the sachet in his hand was clenched very tightly, and he pushed open Xiao Chunyu's embroidery room, and saw her walking anxiously in the inner room, her face full of sadness.

"Miss." Tang Tao anxiously shouted: "The department store was closed four days ago, and I really can't find Master Wei." ”

"That must have gone with the king of duty." Xiao Chunyu said in frustration, her handsome face suddenly withered a little fragrant, pressed her hand to her chest, looked at the sachet in Tang Tao's hand and said, "Give me the sachet, he will come back." ”

"However, now there are rumors all over the street that the Black Turban Army is like a broken bamboo, and Xianguo is going to die."

"Don't talk nonsense." Xiao Chunyu raised her voice and scolded, even though she never scolded, Tang Tao was still stunned.

"Miss, what are we going to do? The other sisters all said that the Black Turban Army abducted the female dependents of the rich and noble families and the women of the brothel and the music shop as prostitutes. ”

"No, it won't."

Xiao Chunyu thought of Jiang Rong, Jiang Rong's daughter of Jiang Min Guangxin, Jiang Rong must still have a way to retreat. No matter how bad it is, it is better to be martyred than to be a prostitute.

King Qin's army marched south along the gallop road all the way, marching fifty miles a day, which was quite fast for the entire formation team of tens of thousands of people, and even so, it would take half a month to reach Chenling.

Bailiyan (Wei Xian) led the vanguard and the brigade to open the road in front of ten miles, about the evening of the second day after departure, Chenling urgently sent the black flag post guard to send Hongling urgent, not surprisingly, Wu Liao held on to the city for less than two days, Wu Liao Taishou and An Fengjun, Qin Yuanjun and other magnates, officials, all the men and children, all the old and young, were all executed, and the female dependents were filled into the brothel camp for sexual pleasure.

For thousands of years, from ancient times to the present, all of them are powerful people who bully men and bully other people's wives and daughters, and now the Black Turban Army is moving against the trend, specializing in killing powerful officials and raping their wives and daughters in retaliation, how ironic it is.

The black turban army broke through the fog, and there was no plan to divide the troops, and the soldiers pointed directly at Xiaocheng, the last line of defense in Chenling, and the northeast of Xiaocheng was Muyang Cang, one of the three major granaries of Xianguo.

Muyangcang has the important task of military grain in the border towns of Qiunan, Suidang and Xianxi, and collects more than half of the country's military grain and disaster relief grain here, with at least two million stone of grain.

The speed of the loss of Wuliao far exceeded the expectations of Chenling, so that it was impossible to make up the carts and horses needed to transport grain and grass, so he could only hope that Xiaocheng would block the front of the Black Turban Army, and forced to force the Xianwang to use the veteran Xu Song, who was more than seventy years old, to guard the Xiaocheng to block the edge of the Black Turban Army, and to buy more time for the transfer of Muyang Cang and the assembly of the Qinwang Army.

Seven days after the edict of King Qin, Zhao Xun issued a warrant, from now on, the national combat soldiers and horses will always be controlled by Zhao Xun, all the soldiers and horses do not enter the tomb, directly go to the Yongxing River to assemble, Zhao Xun personally led 100,000 soldiers and horses to the Yongxing River to build a fortress, wanting to use the Yongxing River as a barrier to prevent the Black Turban Army from breaking the filial piety city and continue to go north.

The Black Turban Army entered Xiaocheng to persuade Xu Song to surrender to no avail, and forced the army to attack the city for seven days, and the Black Turban Army repaired for two days, and attacked for four days, 27 children of Xu Song's family were killed in battle, and all the women in the family were widowed.

The Black Turban Army broke the city two days later, the officials and magnates in the city who did not have time to flee could not bear to become prostitutes and slaves, and successively hanged their wives and daughters, and fought bloody battles with the Black Turban Army to the death, Xu Song and others fought to the death and did not retreat, and one day after the city was broken, they were completely annihilated by the Black Turban Army in the Taishou Mansion in the north of the city.

Xu Song's head was cut off by the Black Turban Army, hanging in the city for three days, and then Xu Song's head was sent to Zhao Xun's Yongxing River camp to provoke, hearing the news of Xu Song's tragic death, Zhao Xun cried bitterly, and vowed to kill the Black Turban Army.

Xu Song was also a veteran of Xianguo Town, who was as famous as Wei Dan, if it weren't for his advanced age, Xu Song would have been the one who led the reinforcements to Jiangdong that year. Now that he has died in Xiaocheng, he was cut off and the whole clan was cut off in his later years, how can it not be heartbreaking.

King Xian learned that the Xu family had not been warned, and posthumously awarded Xu Song the title of protector of the country, and set up a monument to protect the country in the camp in the south of the city to show Xu Song's merits.

Soon after the Black Turban Army captured Xiaocheng, the granary Muyang was conquered, Zhao Xun inevitably crossed the river and fell into death, so that the garrison army set fire to the grain, and somehow the garrison army failed to implement the military order, and the Black Turban Army obtained more than eighty percent of the grain and grass in Muyang Cang under a blow, and the number reached an astonishing four million stones, far exceeding the two million stones contained.

There were also countless cloths, salt, sugar, silk, leather, armor, and clothing, and only then did we learn that more than half of the powerful and noble relatives in the tomb had hoarded the ill-gotten wealth they had obtained in the name of the government in the military warehouse, filling their own pockets and turning the treasury into their private wealth.

As a result, it fell into the hands of the Black Turban Army and fattened the rebels. It is no wonder why the garrison army did not carry out the order to set fire to the warehouse, obviously no one could afford to commit the great crime of convicting the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar, from the king of Xian to the people, and everyone who learned the news was shocked. Muyang warehouse is only one of the three granaries of Xianguo, and if the other two granaries are the same, the "wealth and solidity" of Xianguo can be imagined.

When the Guangxin army passed through the Lingling, Jiang Min led two hundred guards into the city, Jiang Gan continued to drive to the Yongxing River on behalf of his troops, and arrived at the Yongxing River two days later.

On the night after the army was stationed, Jiang Qian led Bailiyan to Zhao Xun's camp to face the handsome, Bailiyan was uneasy, the Black Turban Army was like a bamboo, and I don't know if Zhao Xun had the confidence to fight.

Jiang Qian was very optimistic about the development of the battle along the way, at least he also believed that even if the Xian army was defeated, Guangxin could still divide Beihai and stand on its own, I don't know if Luo Songting gave him advice, or Luo Songting was sure to hold Beihai County.

But Bai Liyan didn't see that Beihai County was any sure that he would be able to fight with the Black Turban Army at the moment, and even began to wonder whether Zhiguo, who had secretly communicated with Guangxin Gong, would buy Jiang Min's account at that time.

Outside the tent, Jiang Qian was allowed to enter after a while.

Although it was already night, the generals in the tent were gathered at this moment, all of whom were generals from all over the world, the powerful of the Qinwang army, and the powerful leaders who listened to the order here. When the national crisis is at hand, no one dares not to go to the Senate and be this up-and-coming bird.

"Guangxin Qin, Wang Jun, Sima envoy, Jiang Qian has seen Zhao Shuai." Jiang Qian bowed, and Bailiyan saluted.

"Jiang Shaojun is exempt. Come on, put two more Maza. ”

"No!"

The guards brought two Mazha and asked Jiang Qian and Bailiyan to sit at the front, Zhao Xun glanced at Bailiyan meaningfully, and then continued the previous unfinished content, and deployed the military defense areas in the next three days.

The origin of the Qinwang army is complex, and the quality of the soldiers is uneven, and in order to completely integrate it, it is necessary to interrupt the entanglement of interests between the various Qinwang troops, but it is obviously impossible to do so.

There are as few as a few hundred people in the Qinwang Army as many as the Guangxin Army, and there are tens of thousands of people in the Guangxin Army, all of whom come from different strata in the south and the north. There are not only the families, guards and newly recruited strong men of the feudal monarchs, feudal marquises, and feudal dukes, but also the soldiers of various counties and counties, as well as the Taishou and the city government Sima personally recruited the township warriors to come to Qinwang, and even the local heroes.

In principle, officials and magnates can come at this time, they are already loyal and patriotic, and there is no need to personally rush to kill, but to bring their soldiers and horses under the control of Zhao Xun alone, there is no problem in theory, but it is difficult to do it in practice.

Behind these soldiers and horses are all mountains, more or less with the idea of preserving their strength and watching others consume.

Especially the magnates of Shanling, because of the great loss of Muyang Cang, if their generals and guards are exhausted, the feudal lords in other places may become bigger in the future, and they will not have the strength to restrain others from annexing their interests, so how to unify these people is a thorny problem.

Zhao Xun has less than 100,000 soldiers, 50,000 county soldiers, 30,000 conscripts, and the follow-up supplementary conscripts are still on the way. Because there are hundreds of thousands of people who have to feed 350,000 people to eat, drink, and Lazar, although it is a local war, and it is convenient to supply nearby, there will be fewer people, but it is impossible not to have it.

At this time, Zhao Xun almost hoped that more than 100,000 recruits of the northern army of the Jin army could enter the Xian battle, but after the destruction of Wuliao City, the Jin State only sent elite cavalry across the river into the Lingling, and after the defeat of the Xian army, he escorted Xihuan and the prince of Xianguo to flee back to Jiangdong.

Of course, the Jin Kingdom has not reached the point where it will not be saved if it is not plucked. The Jin army supplemented the Xian army with 50,000 Jin armor, 30,000 ordinary war horses, 4 million arrow clusters, 20,000 strong bows, 50,000 bronze blades, 30,000 iron blades, 500,000 stones of grain and grass, 1 million copper coins of the Jin Kingdom, and countless other baggage.

It seems like a lot, but in fact, it really needs to be used on the battlefield, and the Xian army has become a mercenary of the Jin army, and it has changed banners.

The armor is the Jin army system, and the war horses are still branded with the imprints of the Jin army. Even if this battle is won, the Xian army will become cannon fodder for the Jin army's equipment from now on, and it should be said that this is also the Xian king's own request.

In the face of miscellaneous soldiers from all walks of life, Zhao Xun's method was to nominate a metropolitan governor by himself from the counties to which the soldiers and horses belonged, and the metropolitan governor was directly responsible to Zhao Xun, and Zhao Xun directly issued orders through the governors of each county.

The soldiers and horses of each county are integrated by each county itself, and they must be integrated in place within two days, and Zhao Xun will personally inspect the camp at that time, and those who violate military orders will be engaged in military law.

Today's Zhao Xun has the right to cut first and then play, and there is no need to ask for a performance to kill the feudal monarch and Taishou, and he will correct the law on the spot. If anyone neglects the military aircraft, they can try the hardness of Zhao Xun's knife.

[Note: The logistical difficulty of local operations is essentially different from that of foreign conquest, especially in densely populated and agriculturally developed plain areas, due to the greatly reduced length of logistics and transportation, and the closer to the supply base area, the less requisitioned civilian power is required, and the manpower originally used for production and transportation can be used in the war at this time to increase the total number of soldiers. At the same time, the local war was a patriotic war, which to a certain extent could stimulate the will to war of all strata, and the mobilization potential increased rapidly in a short period of time. 】
