The gloomy dark clouds finally fell a light rain today, and Liaodong has not seen a clear sky for more than ten days. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The light rain drops in the wheat field, on the edge of the pond, and on the cold clothes and armor of the expedition soldiers, bringing a crisp sound.

The scouts spread out and ran ten miles to explore the road, and Yanbei and his party of 3,000 soldiers and horses rested overnight on the side of the road, and rushed to the outside of Xinchang City the next day to meet with the soldiers and horses of Wang Dang, the southern captain.

When Yanbei arrived, Wang Dang's tent still had an endless smell of wine. Before and after the battle of Qingshi Bridge, all the soldiers and horses were busy defending against the enemy, and only Li Damu in the north and Wang Dang in the south were idle. Yanbei thought that Wang Dang's guard was loose, and his face was gloomy, so he saw Wang Dang pulling the two people in the tent to salute him.

However, Wang Dang had earlier received the news that Yanbei had asked him to wait according to his troops, and today two strong men from Youzhou came to defect, hoping to serve as military attachés under Yanbei's account.

One person is named Wu Shuang, who is a strong man in Xinchang. Another person named Pan Ling, originally a native of Wushan, broke the law in the township when he was young, so he gathered a group of evil teenagers into the mountains to become bandits. One of these two people joined the army with a hundred and ten family soldiers, carrying thousands of stones of grain and grass; One led more than 400 bandits and said that he wanted to give General Yan a strong momentum; This went to Wang Dang's way, hoping that he could introduce the two.

Yan Bei took a look, these two people are a local strong and a gangster leader, and when they get together, the two brothers don't look like good people. However, since they came to defect, they naturally had to be entertained, so they let their subordinates temporarily return to Wang Dang's command, and people were also used by Wang Dang's subordinates.

Let's go to Wenxian County first, and then see the performance.

The 3,000 soldiers and horses from the southward march of the Qingshi Bridge and the Wang Dang headquarters combined with the army, it became an army of nearly 7,000 men and horses, counting the Lei Gong Department besieging Wen County, that is nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, dealing with a Meng Yi who only has 3,000 soldiers and horses, which can be called a labor division.

Yanbei left Wang Dang and Wu Shuang in Xinchang to be responsible for the escort of grain and grass, and raised more than 4,000 people to continue south.

……

At this time, under a siege in Wenxian County, accompanied by spring rain, Meng Yi was thinking about how to get out.

Wenxian can't live for a long time, Meng Yi knows very well that this is Yanbei's sphere of influence, if Gongsun Chan comes to the rescue, it's okay, if Gongsun Chan doesn't move in Liaoxi, Yanbei will naturally have time to adjust the soldiers and horses to besiege the city. Even if there was grain and grass for 3,000 soldiers and horses in Wen County until summer, Meng Yi did not dare to stay here until summer.

His subordinates have long lost their sharpness, and the city is full of mourning, even if they fight head-on, they dare not guarantee that they can defeat the 3,000 rebels besieging Zhang Leigong.

The situation is very unfavorable for him.

The dignified court lieutenant general became a lone army surrounded by rebels.

"General Lang, break through." The deputy general stood beside Meng Yi with his hands clenched into his fists, "The subordinates have explored the rebel camp besieging the city, more than 1,000 people in the north and south, and the subordinates led a hundred horsemen to open the east gate at night, and a moment later the general opened the west of the city and led most of the troops to cross the river to the west, and returned to Liu Youzhou to regather the troops, and there was no lack of strength!" ”

Meng Yi shook his head, the whiteness on his head has become more conspicuous in the past few days, and what worries his subordinates even more is that this veteran of the battlefield seems to have been killed at the bluestone bridge, and he is no longer as brave as before. "This can't be done, the risk is too great, there must be a better way, and there is a better ......"

In fact, Meng Yi himself didn't believe it.

3,000 soldiers and horses were surrounded by the rebels in such a small city of Wenxian County, which was less than four feet high, and in this poor place in Liaodong, there was not even any sheep stone and fire oil in the city, but they were afraid that the rebels would collapse as soon as they built a ladder and rushed to the city.

What to defend to?

It is true that Meng Yi can learn everything Gongsun Zan did in Guanzi City, and use the soldiers to force the people in the city to go to the city to meet the enemy, but he can't do anything like that!

When he Mengyi was sleepy and lacking horses, it was the people of Wenxian County who opened the city to welcome him into the city, and if he took revenge and forced the people to go to the city to face the vicious rebels who were invincible to the Han army, then what face did he have to see the people of Youzhou again?

This night, Meng Yi went to the city three times, but three times he could only let out endless sighs.

The camp of the rebels was not complete, and it was full of flaws from a distance, but with the might of a great victory, those rebels were more fierce and morale-boosting. On the other hand, the morale of his own soldiers was invincible, and he sighed one by one, as if he could not live for a few days.

If this continues, I'm afraid that without the rebels to fight, these soldiers who are determined to live and die will cause trouble themselves!

However, the turn of events came much faster than Meng Yi imagined.

The name of the county is Tian Du, who was born in a large family in the county, and visited late at night when Zhonglang was at a loss for Meng Yi. Looking at Tian Du's famous thorn, although Meng Yi didn't know why, he still got up from the couch and ordered someone to put down a warm soup to entertain Tian Du.

In the year of Tian Du's establishment, when he was rich and strong, he was led by the sergeant to Meng Yi's side hall and said with a smile: "Visit late at night and disturb the general's rest, I hope you don't be surprised...... This county office, can you get used to it? ”

Meng Yi asked Tian Du to take a seat, and at the end he rubbed his swollen forehead and sighed: "Where are you not used to it, the enemy is on the side, how can the old man sleep peacefully?" ”

"Haha!" Tian Du smiled when he heard this, pressed his palm and said: "If the general is worried about the strategy of breaking the enemy, then the visit of the next is not abrupt. ”

"Oh? I want to hear about it! ”

At the moment, nothing is as good as breaking the rebel army outside the city, and he didn't want to listen to the false and powerless working committee, but just looked at Tian Du with a serious face.

"The general didn't know, before the arrival of the Han army, the traitor Yanbei occupied the entire territory of Liaodong, surrounded by tens of thousands of Jizhou bandits, all over the county, big families and powerful people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, even Xiangping Gongsun was slaughtered and no one dared to speak, but no one made a sound at that time, it does not mean that the Liaodong scholars have forgotten this matter!"

Tian Du pointed at his chest with a single finger, suppressed his anger and said, "Who is Yanbei then?" The ancestor was just a slave who herded horses and sheep for the Gongsun clan, but now he has killed his master, what kind of reason is this? If people like him master Liaodong, will the officials and scholars still have a way to live? ”

Meng Yi didn't know about Yanbei's strangulation of Gongsun Yu, but even now he was not surprised to know that those little people often gained more power than those who used to be in power, and they would refer to the treatment they had suffered as 'humiliation', and return it tenfold and hundredfold. Wasn't that the case with that rebellion? It's just a jackal, and it's just rebellious.

"In this case, your Excellency can connect the heroes in the county for the old man and raise an army to attack Yanbei together?"

"Not bad!" Tian Du smiled and said slightly: "Since the general led his troops into Liaoxi, I and other officials in Liaodong hope that the general will lead the Wang Division to defeat the Yan thieves and return Youzhou Qingping...... Wenxian Tian's family, Xiangping Liu's family, Pingguo Gongsun's family and small sects in various places have been visiting horses and spreading news in a few days, and only waiting for the general's order, 3,000 soldiers can be used by the general! ”

Wenxian Tian, Xiangping Liu, Pingguo Gongsun are all strong in the county, Xiangping Gongsun clan in the hands of Yanbei perished, with Wenxian Tian clan in the county is the most powerful, not to mention Tian Du for Wen County, his brother Tian Shao for Liaodong Gongcao, just the suburbs of Wenxian County irrigated by Liaoshui two hectares of fertile land, enough for Tian to afford to raise thousands of soldiers.

It stands to reason that Meng Yi should be overjoyed when he heard the news, but he just nodded and did not make any reply, which made the atmosphere a little heavy for no reason.

Tian Du was not in a hurry, their patchwork of 3,000 people to help the battle, they had nothing to do but defeat Yanbei. Their land is the foundation of the Great Clan, and if Liaodong is under the rule of Yanbei, I am afraid that the land and wealth in their hands will become the pockets of those turned slaves in the rebels...... Just like the poor Gongsun clan.

Tian Du asked himself how he planned to die. He wants to die of illness, old age, and war, and he doesn't want to be hanged with a bowstring like a dirt dog!

"Three thousand soldiers, how many surnames do you need?" Meng Yi frowned and asked, "Who will be in charge, is there anyone in your big clan who can command the army?" ”

Tian Du smiled, it turned out that Meng Yi Lao'er was worried about this, clapped his hands and smiled: "The general is worthy of being in the army for a long time, please rest assured, now the sergeants are mostly assembled in the south of Wen County, and the person who commands the army is the Tian brother, who has served as a military marquis, a county honor, and a Youzhou Sima, and then transferred to Liaodong Gongcao, please rest assured, only 3,000 soldiers and horses, my brother is very strong, and he will receive it!" ”

Meng Yi bowed slightly, and asked with determination: "I want to lead the troops to attack the rebels tomorrow morning, you may contact Brother Ling tonight?" ”

"Good! Later, it was rumored that the fast horse rider rode out from the east of the city, and the brother could receive the news in an hour. ”

Meng Yi planned to lead the main force to fight from the west of the city, so he said: "Let's start a fire in the east of the city, and if there is a fire in the east of the city at dawn, let your brother lead his troops and the old man to attack a battalion of rebels outside the south gate!" ”

"No!" Tian Du saw that Meng Yi intended to unite, and immediately Dayue, with their big clan's family soldiers alone, they would definitely not be able to drive Yanbei away from Liaodong, but if the local and imperial forces united? Don't say Yanbei, there is no one in this world who they can't drive away! Immediately hugged his fists and said: "In this case, when the time comes, I will lead the county soldiers with the county lieutenant to help the general!" ”

Meng Yi nodded, and said with his hand: "When the time comes, please ask the county commander to lead the county soldiers above the north gate, shoot the rebels outside the north gate with a bow and crossbow, and when the old man clears the south of the city, he will wave his troops to the north and meet the rebels with the county honor!" ”

"Haha! I'm afraid that once the rebels at the south gate are removed, the rebels outside the north gate will not attack, and those rabble will also disperse! ”

With 3,000 soldiers to resist 3,000 rebels, Meng Yi didn't want to do such a stupid thing. But if there is a strong and powerful county to help, with more than 6,000 troops to fight 3,000 traitors? Meng Yi felt that they would not lose, not to mention that they were calculating or not, he could almost foresee that the rebels would be killed by them and lose their armor!

"Since this is the case, the county venerable will go and prepare, lest the night long dream and the northern part of the Yan come to help!"

"No!"
