Chapter 113: Yuyang Tianyu
The battle of Liaoxi will be completely different from the battle of Qingshi Bridge. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
One is a garrison ambush battle, the battlefield is quite close to Xiangping, as long as the ambush is prepared, there is no need to worry about anything. Even a few days before the Battle of Qingshi Bridge began, the soldiers who changed guards occasionally entered Xiangping City to buy some small items of their own.
But leading the army into Liaodong is different.
Easy to attack and defend.
The candidate to guard Xiangping is Sun Qing. Wang Dang and his subordinates were drafted back and abandoned the garrison in the southeastern part of Liao, and as a general with considerable bravery, Yanbei asked him to go with the army. Li Damu and his army in the north of Xiangping set up a large camp in the southeast of Xiangping City after returning to help, and watched over each other with the Xiangping camp in the southwest.
In addition to the deployment of men and horses, armaments and food and grass are also very important. It is also a coincidence that the book was not written, and it has been more than half a month since the counties were ordered to send grain and grass to Xiangping, so on the day when the four people made the plan, Pan Ling, as the grain supervisor, led 1,500 people to start counting the grain and grass, and rushed to make a double cart for hauling grain and grass, in order to prepare it as soon as possible.
Everyone knows that the longer it drags on, the more likely it is that Gongsun Chan will recruit a considerable number of subordinates.
All the pre-war preparations seemed to be prepared overnight, but the biggest difficulty could not be solved quickly...... No man was willing to be called by them.
Since Yanbei ruled Liaodong, he has not done much to disturb the people, in addition to fighting a few battles and occupying the city to open granaries and arsenals, he has also done some good things, such as urging the people to plant in spring. But the worst and most important thing he did in his name was to forcibly recruit people.
In the past, it was okay, but it was just the hard work of transporting grain and grass in Liaodong, recruiting some laborers, and managing a half-starved meal every day, and the people had no complaints. However, this time, when they heard that they would have to transport grain and grass for dozens or even hundreds of days, the people resisted one after another under the leadership of the three elders of the three villages, and even the three elders of several townships in Xiangping City and ran to the Xiangping County Government Office together...... It's really, really, tricky.
But this thing is just right, it can't be done without people. There are so many grains and grasses, even if there are many forests in Liaodong, it is not easy for Pan Ling to make so many double-wheel cars. The car always needs someone to catch it, right? Even Yanbei didn't expect that he even had enough cattle and horses, and he was stuck in the people's reluctance to contribute.
But this group of old men with white hair go to the county government office every day, and he doesn't do anything, so he sits here and persuades them.
It is easy to say that it is only arranged for each township to share the forced labor of 50 people's husbands, and if Yanbei still sits in Liaodong in the coming year, it will also reduce the forced labor in several townships of Xiangping and. However, on the other hand, these townships in Xiangping not only contributed to labor, but also sold the hoarded animal skins and tendons in the townships to Yanbei at a discount.
As for the armor, the craftsman battalion in charge of Wang Yi was only able to recruit 20 craftsmen, and he instructed more than 200 Jian slaves bought by Yanbei to burn copper and iron ingots and sew leather armor in Gongsun Wuzhong, who was outside the city...... Gongsun Wu changed his name and is now known as Tie Wu. Although they have thousands of broken armor and weapons, they are not of use for the time being, and can only be used by sharpening their former weapons.
Now Yanbei knows that he used to be so low in Wubao in Zhuo County. He hadn't even figured out the full extent of the Hao Qiang's role with Wu Bao. In the case of the former Gongsun Wu and the current Tiewu, it covers an area of more than 1,000 steps, with dozens of hectares of fertile land and woodland, and a private hunting garden. In addition to the basic buildings such as the grass house, wooden house, and archery tower, there are also stables and horse farms, cattle, sheep and pigsties, as well as weaving and dyeing rooms, brewing, sauce making, and pharmaceutical gathering.
Yanbei, at that time, he didn't care about such a wealthy thing as Grange, and he was running the financial road of those traitors all day long, and now that he thinks about it, he can't help but sigh.
But now, Tiewu no longer has so much livelihood, those private fields are planted by tenants for corn, and the interior of Wubao is only used for living and ironmaking, and there are 500 soldiers stationed there.
Wang Yi is now taking the twenty craftsmen who have been recruited for a period of time, and when the craftsmen are familiar with working as craftsmen in the army, at most three or five days, Wang Yi will set off for Goguryeo, which is further east of Liaodong, to continue the mission given to him by Yanbei.
It's going to be a few years...... Just like the plan that Yanbei began to make, whether it is Lelang County, Goguryeo, or the southeasternmost city of Liaodong, these three points are far away from the emperor of the mountain, and it is necessary to choose extremely loyal people.
As he thought, the people he sent out were indeed loyal, and the three most loyal people around him were sent out. Suddenly he felt stretched thin.
……
Once again, the torch of burning war was thrown, and the whole Liaodong fell into chaos, and the city and outside the city were full of double-wheeled carts escorting arrows, grain and grass, and pedestrians did not dare to go to the market, and the already dilapidated Xiangping City was even more depressed.
It wasn't until the fifth day of the war preparations that Yanbei remembered the captured young general in Tsing Yi, so he went to the Xiangping camp outside the city to guard the captives surrounded by a warrior.
When he arrived at the Xiangping camp, Gao Ran was training with the sergeants, but Wang Dang was fighting with several sergeants holding wooden short knives and small shields on the school field bare-chested, and when he heard the arrival of the general, he put on a silk shirt and wiped his sweat and walked towards Yanbei.
"General, you're here."
Yan Bei nodded, threw the mount to the Yamen pawn and took it away, and asked Wang Dang as he walked, "I'll come and see how many of those captives have been surrendered?" ”
"There are more than 30 of those righteous servants who are willing to surrender, and they have not broken up the army at present, and have specially arranged four generals. It's those townsmen who are very hard-mouthed, and they don't even want to surrender, saying that their Sima will come sooner or later...... We didn't care, and we were locked up in the southwest corner of the camp with those righteous servants. The king asked as he led the way, "The general wants to go over and have a look?" ”
"Well, go over and have a look...... Hehe, this Liu Xuande is a very set of characters. ”
Yan Bei was even more curious now, and followed Wang Dang over the heavy camp tent and walked towards the southwest corner.
He knew that Gongsun Zhan, the White Horse Rebellion, was never an officer or soldier of the Han Dynasty, but a private army recruited by Gongsun Chan himself. When Gongsun Chan was a long history, it was nothing more than a hundred and ten people, and later because his family assets exceeded 100 million yuan, he gradually recruited 3,000 people, to put it bluntly, they were some private soldiers. There is no difference from these people under Yan Bei's hands. It stands to reason that they eat Gongsun Chan, use Gongsun Chan, and Gongsun Chan raises them, so they shouldn't surrender so easily.
But the fact is that Bai Ma Yicong surrendered 12/12, and none of the villagers who belonged to Liu Xuande surrendered.
Yanbei was too curious about this.
In the distance, Yan Bei saw more than a dozen cages surrounded by wooden fences in the corner of the camp where the ordnance should have been stacked, holding those prisoners.
The White Horse Servants removed the white leather armor with iron plates covering key parts, and the inferior leather armor of Xiang Yong was still worn on them...... Those shabby leather armor were like patched clothes on their bodies, and Yan Bei's subordinates didn't bother to take them off.
After looking at the white armor for a long time, Yan Bei looked at the righteous servants in the cage and smiled dumbly, "This Gongsun Dudu is really a luxurious person!" ”
"It's not, tsk, even the general doesn't have a brocade robe." Wang Dang shook his head and smiled, counted the pieces of armor with his white armor and said: "People's leather armor is not only covered with iron sheets, but also specially dyed white on the leather armor, which is not only a luxury!" ”
Yan Bei frowned, casually threw aside the white armor that symbolized Gongsun Zhan's strong financial strength, and looked at the spears, ring knives, bows and arrows that the righteous servants were close to the standard, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Gongsun Zhan is not only the governor of Youzhou in the imperial court, even if he is not an official or a general, with his foundation, he is definitely the number one in Liaoxi.
If he guessed correctly, these white armors should have been made by the grange under Gongsun Zhan's name, plus those snow-white horses...... Gongsun Zhan's financial resources are almost on par with that of him, the leader of the rebel army.
Yan Bei didn't care about those white horses, but walked straight to the cage where the young general in green clothes was held, tilted his head and looked at it for a moment. The young man in Tsing Yi was wearing Luotuo, who was less than twenty years old and handsome, but a sword eyebrow showed a very heroic spirit, kneeling in the cage as if with an unusual bearing, and there was no shortage of more than a dozen villagers in the same prison, but the elders who stood up faintly took him as the leader, which surprised Yanbei.
"That little Langjun, what is your name and where are you from?"
When Yan Bei looked at him, although he had already discovered Yan Bei, he didn't care. Hearing Yan Bei's question, he raised his head slightly and said, "Tian Guorang, a native of Yuyang." ”
"Tian Guorang, good name. I'm Yanbei, you know. I don't think you're Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant...... If you're captured, why don't you surrender me? Yan Bei asked in a relaxed tone, while observing Tian Guorang's expression. This Yuyang young man's handsome riding skills made Yanbei remember it vividly, "You want to save Meng Yi, you are a dead soldier, but Meng Yi did save it, and it is not dishonoring the mission." ”
Tian Yu looked up at Yan Bei, the expression on his face was the same as Guan Yu's day, with a slightly mocking smile. "General, you raised an army against the Han Dynasty, don't you think that everyone in the world is a person like you who does not know loyalty?"
"My general's rebellion is precisely because of the importance of righteousness!" Wang Dang raised his eyebrows on the side and shouted: "You don't understand, don't talk nonsense!" ”
For Yanbei going north alone last year, Wang Dang's generals were very admired, and when they saw Tian Yu humiliating Yanbei, they immediately opened their mouths to reprimand. However, Yan Bei didn't think it was wrong, waved his hand and smiled, and didn't explain anything, but asked: "It's a good idea to scatter weapons to the captives to create chaos, and you did a good job." Was it your own idea? ”
Tian Yu couldn't figure out what this thief leader was for, but he was like a brother next door, but even so, he didn't give Yanbei any good looks, just nodded and didn't say anything.
Yan Bei saw that the conversation was a little deadlocked, and looked left and right, which was why Wang Dang opened the prison door, looked down at Tian Yu, who was kneeling in the middle, and raised his eyebrows, "Aren't your legs numb when you always sit like this, the wind is beautiful today, do you dare to go out for a walk with someone?" ”
