Chapter 243: A Thorny Poison Ivy
.. Lā endless men's blood, endless enemy heads, there is no place to hide, only keep fighting ......, this is the true portrayal of the troubled times, only a few days of peace, Xiao Yi is about to draw his sword out of the sheath again, last time it was the north, this time it is the south!
Yangzhou, one of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, has nine counties under its jurisdiction, and is divided into two parts in the north and south by a big river, including Huiji, Wu County, Poyang, Linhai, Yuzhang, Jian'an, which is the famous 'Jiangdong Six Counties', which is now in the hands of the little overlord - Sun Ce, and takes this as the foundation, looking at the world...... In addition, there is the Lujiang River in the upper reaches of Jiangbei, Shouchun in the lower reaches, and Danyang County sandwiched in the middle!
When it comes to Danyang County, the world's first reaction is 'Danyang elite soldiers, a world in the world', there is a magical land, although there have been no peerless famous generals for thousands of years, but there have been countless strong and good at fighting, and the elite soldiers who are not afraid of death, there are two examples to prove this!
Emperor Wu 'Tianhan' two years, the famous general Li Ling led 5,000 infantry to attack the Huns, lasted more than a month, more than 2,000 miles north, met with 80,000 Hun cavalry in Junji Mountain, launched a fierce fight with a huge disparity, this lone soldier fought and retreated, the bloody battle was endless, killing tens of thousands of enemies, the frightened Huns almost collapsed, and finally failed because the arrows ran out of food, the backup could not be supported, Li Ling surrendered, the soldiers all died, this bloody battle to the last person is the Danyang soldiers!
Again, in order to avenge the killing of his father, when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou City for the first time, 60,000 troops besieged for more than two months, several large-scale attacks, killing rivers of blood, countless casualties, but never able to capture the city, even if Cao Cao personally supervised the battle, all the big and small soldiers bravely moved forward, but it was to no avail, the assassin Shi - Tao Qian himself did not understand the strategy, and there were no generals under him, relying on a Danyang elite soldier, because Tao Qian is a native of Danyang County, that is his hometown soldiers!
For Danyang County, the princes love to death, and hate to death, they all want to recruit some soldiers from there, for their own hegemony in the south and the north, the problem is that there is too much chaos, in addition to the elite soldiers, but also out of the bandits, the people are self-defended, do not obey the king, a small rebellion in three years, a big rebellion in five years, almost no rebellion, no one can govern!
During the reign of Yuan Shu in Huainan, he spent countless efforts on Danyang County, but it did not work at all, and when Cao, Liu, and Sun attacked the Yuan puppet dynasty, they also divided his family property, Cao Cao occupied Shouchun, Sun Ce occupied Lujiang, as for Danyang County in the middle, it became a buffer zone between the two families, no one could eat, no one could govern, and now, this problem fell on Xiao Yi's head, because Danyang rebelled again!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Dadu Governor, the Danyang rebellion has risen again, countless thieves have swarmed out from the mountains, they have attacked the city, plundered the government, looted property, and killed all the way to Shouchun City, no one can control its edge!"
In the state pastor's mansion, Chen Qun reported the situation with a sad face, Xiao Yi's official position is to conquer the western metropolitan governor-governor Xu and Huai, and he has the right to conquer and conquer, and Danyang County is also within his jurisdiction, and now that something has happened, he naturally has to take care of it!
"Hehe, the governor of Bendu has long heard that Danyang County has no rebellion, the people are fierce, and the bandits are rampant, it is the most chaotic place in the world, how did the government deal with it before?"
Xiao Yi has a large administrative map of Huainan in front of him, and he is carefully studying, the ancients said: Those who guard the river must first guard Huai, referring to the land of the three counties in Jiangbei, which is the gateway to the Yangtze River.
"If you go back to the governor, there is no way, in the past, when the mountain people rebelled, the government didn't care, didn't ask, and ignored it, and when those thieves had robbed enough, they retreated to the mountains by themselves!"
Chen Qun's mouth is like a bitter gourd, as a Han official, he can't protect the territory and the people, but he said such shameless words, it's really embarrassing, but he really has no good way, for hundreds of years, no one has ever been able to solve the problem of Shanyang County!
The imperial court sent officials to govern, and it didn't take a few days, either they abandoned the officials in fright and fled, or they disappeared without a trace, and they couldn't even find the bones......
During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court once sent 30,000 troops to attack Danyang County, trying to solve the trouble once and for all, but the army plunged into the deep mountains for more than two months, and in the end less than 3,000 people came out alive, and the rest were swallowed up by the reckless mountains......
Huainan and Lujiang are all famous rich places in the Yangtze River, but the creation makes people, and the Danyang County sandwiched in the middle is extremely poor, where are rolling mountains, the roads are rugged, the land is narrow, the production is very limited, the arable land, business, transportation ......, that can't be played, there is no ore to dig up, the poor 'jingle' is chaotic, the mountain people all rely on hunting for a living, life is very difficult!
It is said that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, the poor living environment of Danyang County has also created the local people who are fierce and good at fighting, and they are not afraid of death.
The relationship between Shouchun, Lujiang and Danyang counties is like a poor and evil guy, just guarding two rich and soft neighbors, I can't eat, but you are rich and oily, I have a knife in my hand, I can go up the mountain to fight tigers and leopards, go into the water to capture dragons, you only have a hoe in your hand, let alone killing, you don't even dare to slaughter a chicken, so what else is there to say~~ Grab it!
For thousands of years, Danyang people have maintained a habit of living, usually hunting in the mountains, living their own small life, and when the crops on the land of the two counties are harvested in the golden autumn season of October, they will rush out to snatch them, just like taking back their own food, peace of mind, and righteousness!
Of course, they also have their own code of conduct, that is, they only grab food, do not hurt people, the reason is very simple, if they kill the neighbors who are farming, who will they rob next year, just like hunting in the mountains can not be killed!
Not only that, if the people of Shouchun and Lujiang counties are in trouble, the people of Danyang will also help, during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Army rebelled, the momentum was extremely huge, the thieves killed people and set fire along the way, and soon rushed into the Huainan region, seeing that the lives were ruined, and the people suffered......
At this time, the Danyang people rushed out of the mountains, relying on simple weapons such as hunting bows and hunting forks, and used their own flesh and blood to forge a solid line of defense, the two sides fought for more than a month, with countless casualties, but hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops were difficult to cross the thunder pond One step, and finally died down, fled, and even had the courage to look at the Danyang soldiers!
This is the world-famous Danyang soldier, both good and evil, half soldier and half thief, I can't comment on it, but I can't ignore it!
"Hehe, it's a bit interesting, coexist, Danyang County is a poison ivy entangled in a tree!" After listening to the introduction, Xiao Yi became interested, he was knowledgeable, and heard that there is a powerful poison ivy in the deep mountains, which has been entangled in the giant tree all its life and sucks the juice for a living, but if there is a creature that wants to hurt the giant tree, the poison ivy will come forward to protect the safety of the parasitic tree, how similar the two are!
Of course, it would be even better if he could catch this poison ivy in his own hands, steam it nine times and dry it nine times, and then weave it into a barbed whip, the force is strong enough to whip the world and let the world know how powerful it is!
"Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, invincible ...... in the field, Mo Dao male soldiers, invincible in foot combat, but China's geographical environment is complex, the famous seven mountains, two rivers and one field, there are mountains and ravines everywhere, if there is an elite mountain soldier for their own use......", thinking of this, Xiao Yi couldn't help wiping his saliva, the world is invincible!
"The subordinates think that the Danyang Mountains are undulating, the roads are rugged, and the mountain people are cunning and fierce, if they send troops to fight, it will be useless if there are fewer people, and they will retreat into the mountains to lurk if there are more people, and the past several crusades have been in vain, or don't ask, let them fend for themselves!" Chen Qun advocates calming things down, anyway, there are rebellions every year, thousands of years have come, no one has been able to change anything, let's let him go!
"On the contrary, the governor of Pontus will personally lead his troops to the crusade, and he will not return!" Xiao Yi stared at Danyang County on the map, such a dangerous place, the cradle of elite soldiers, if I don't take it, I will be cheaper for those guys in Jiangdong...... Especially Zhou Yu, his hometown is in Lujiang County!
"Well, there are many bandits, and the situation is very chaotic, I don't know how many soldiers and horses the metropolitan governor will bring to go, and his subordinates should prepare grain, grass, vehicles, and people as soon as possible...... Call anytime! ”
Knowing that the will of the Governor of Xiao was unstoppable, Chen Qun sighed in his heart, and began to calculate how much food it would cost, in the year of the catastrophe, the treasury of Xuzhou was empty, and he had to find a way to raise it, but it really didn't work, so let those big scholars raise donations!
"Hehe, little thief, you don't need many people, the three hundred soldiers of the Pontus Governor are enough, by the way, prepare two more carriages, and the two ladies will go to the thief together!" Xiao Yi touched his chin and smiled, in the golden autumn of October, with beautiful women as companions, touring the mountains and rivers, what a good life!
"No! …… Yes? ”
