Chapter 19 The plundering of Zhuo County
The four years of light and harmony are incomparably calamitous and difficult for the stormy Han. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Chun, the Taishou of Zhongshan, and Zhang Ju, the former Taishan Taishou and now Yuyang Haoqiang Zhang Ju, rebelled together, and the army plagued Zhou County, and colluded with Qiu Liju, the lord of Wuhuan outside the Saiwai, to send troops to help, and in just ten months, they broke through the three counties of Youzhou and the two counties of Jizhou, and the rebellion that occurred in the northeast of the empire was huge.
In Liangzhou in the northwest, the rebellion, which lasted for three years, never stopped, although the rebel leaders changed one after another, and the rebels who relied on the miasma of the plateau were invincible...... In the emperor's court, there was even a minister who proposed to abandon Liangzhou.
Fighting a campaign that affects a state, from recruiting soldiers to logistical baggage, can consume a year's worth of taxes in the whole country in three months.
But the Great Han needs to face more than just a state's regional battles.
In the Central Plains, the Xingyang thieves rebelled in the middle of summer, and the emperor sent Henan Yin, that is, He Miao, the half-brother of the current uncle and Empress He, and the half-brother of the general He Jin, to quell the rebellion, and the thieves were destroyed.
In the northwest, Tai Lieutenant Zhang Wen led the general of the cavalry, supervised Dong Zhuo, Zhu Jun and other generals, held the tiger Fu to recruit the Han army, and marched west with the army, but it was difficult to defeat the Xiliang thief, and Zhang Wen was also dismissed because he failed to quell the rebellion.
In the northeast, the imperial court conscripted tens of thousands of troops from the Southern Xiongnu, and Yu Fuluo, the right virtuous king of the Xiongnu, led the army to the east of the river, and the Southern Xiongnu had internal strife, and the Chinese killed Qiangqu Shan Yu, so Yu Fuluo no longer went eastward and stayed in the Han land.
In the southeast, Changsha District Xing claimed to be a general and rebelled, and Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, led his troops to quell the rebellion.
The already empty treasury of the Han Dynasty bottomed out like this.
The army of the imperial court could not be defeated, which made Zhang Ju Zhang Chun's arrogance even more arrogant.
In September, Zhang Ju was called the Son of Heaven, Zhang Chun was called General Andong General Mitian, King Anding, moved Shuzhou County, passed Zhang Ju to represent the Han Dynasty, let the Han Emperor abdicate, and ordered hundreds of officials and ministers to meet him.
Yan Bei naturally smiled at this kind of thing, if the letter worked, what else did they want these soldiers to do? However, the news that came from the cavalry immediately afterwards was not so friendly to Yanbei.
Lord Wuhuan Qiu Liju led the army south, and ordered the king of the cliff, Su Fuyan, to lead the army south to plunder the prefecture and county. On the other hand, Zhang Chun ordered the commander Pershing to lead his troops north, plundered Fanyang County in Youzhou, and broke through the city, opening up the only way for the Wuhuan soldiers and horses to go south.
Fanyang County, that was Yanbei's previous home, and it was also where his third brother Yandong stayed!
"Where did this news come from? Pershing, that bastard who wants to march to Fanyang County, and threatens to rob the county? Yan Bei immediately snatched the letter from the sentry rider in the lobby, took it and looked at it but couldn't understand it, which made him even more angry, threw the book on the ground, turned his head and said to Wang Zheng: "Du Wei, a certain family wants to lead the army to the north, if Pershing dares to move Wu Wu Fort, the Yan family will definitely want him to be a dog!" ”
Wang Zheng was a little puzzled by Yanbei's sudden anger, and was frowning to see him showing his prestige in the county official office, and thought that his right-hand man was standing up, and he didn't like it in his heart. After listening to Yanbei's words, I suddenly thought that my cousin Wang Yi said that Yanbei's previous home was in Fanyang County, and there seemed to be a younger brother there.
"Erlang, your brother stays in Fanyang?" Wang Zheng stood up, frowned and thought while asking, and then said quickly: "In this way, where are your Wu Bao and your brother?" I first ordered someone to send a message to Pershing and let him ...... Multiple Responsibilities? ”
Wang Zheng and Pershing were at odds, and everyone in the rebels knew about it. No, even Wang Zheng himself hesitated...... His words are on Pershing's side, do they work?
Yan Bei waved his hand violently, and said to Wang Zheng with an eager expression: "Du Wei, if it is Du Wei Chen Fei, it will be useful for you to send a letter, but will Pershing listen to you?" I'm afraid that your letter will arrive on the front foot, and Pershing will slaughter Yan's Wu Bao on the back foot! ”
"What do you say about Erlang?" Wang Zheng is also a little anxious, if the clan foundation of his subordinates is destroyed by Pershing, his own letter will not work, the loss of face is small, the key is how to let his subordinates drive him away in the future. "Now you must not lead the army north, otherwise the matter will be even bigger!"
"Don't lead the army, I'll take dozens of good players, right?" Yan Bei didn't care about anything at this moment, and said to Wang Zheng with his fists clenched: "Duwei, you have to let me go and see!" ”
Wang Zheng paced in the hall, obviously this kind of decision is not so easy to make, he knows that his subordinate Yanbei is not a good person, and it is just a matter of getting along with good words, once there is any conflict with Pan...... You have to meet each other.
After a while, Wang Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at Yanbei, who was still in an arched posture, and then finally made up his mind, patted the case and said: "That's it, you take your good hands to Fanyang, Pershing only led the army north two days ago, and he may have just entered Fanyang County at this time, you should be able to catch up!" ”
Seeing that he had been promised, Yan Bei immediately shook it to the end, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your permission!" ”
"But Erlang, you have to promise me, no matter what happens...... Wang Zheng walked up to Yan Bei and took his arm and said: "Don't kill Pershing out of anger, otherwise not only you, but also myself will not be able to protect it!" ”
Yan Bei killed Pershing in a fit of rage, this is what Wang Zheng is most worried about, he is also Zhang Chun's henchman, he knows that Zhang Chun is now employing people, if Pershing dies at this time, he will die under his Wang Zheng's hands?
This is a great trouble for him!
"My subordinates understand!"
Yan Bei said that, no more, and immediately turned around and walked out of the county official temple and went straight to the camp.
"Marquis, what's the matter with you being in such a hurry?"
Yanbei rode his horse all the way and rushed directly into the camp, and Wang Dang, who was carrying a pair of fifty catties of stone locks in the camp to fight for strength, immediately lost the stone locks, wiped the sweat on his face and ran shirtless to inquire, of course he knew that something was wrong, and he had never seen him so anxious for so long knowing Yan Bei.
"Gather all the good horsemen who can ride horses, take the sharpest swords, put on the best armor, and bring three days' dry rations for me to assemble outside the camp and stand by!"
Yan Beicai didn't have time to say so much, so he dismounted and ran into the military tent, and he was the one who got the biggest benefit from snatching Puyin City.
Now the armor of his subordinate military marquis is better than that of the lieutenants of the county soldiers, and the six military marquis are all precision forged two armor lined with rhino leather armor, and they can be ten on the battlefield with only the armor.
Wearing double layers of rhino leather armor, fastening the heavy two-gear iron armor clasp, Yan Bei, who carried a strong crossbow and lifted the Han sword, led his horse out of the camp, and his subordinates were gathering.
The military marquis had an order, and those soldiers stopped what they were doing, and hurriedly ran in and out of the camp to get on their horses.
In the Han Dynasty, iron was armor, and leather was armor. Now there are 35 large armor collars in the Yanbei Army, 100 of the best rhino skin, 100 pieces of leather armor, 200 buffalo leather armor, and nearly 1,000 pieces of cloth armor...... It can be said that there are more than 1,000 subordinates in Yanbei, and everyone has armor.
And now, under Yanbei's order, more than 30 junior officers in the same attire as Yanbei, and more than 100 men wearing rhino leather armor rode out one after another, each sharpening their knives and being vicious.
Rhino leather armor is a good thing, a strong crossbow thirty steps away is difficult to hurt, and the big armor cannot be broken by a knife.
Since Yanbei got these good armaments, he has been calculating how many enemies a hundred brave men wearing rhino armor can cut down in the battle between the two armies, but he doesn't want to make the first time The opponent is likely to be the self-army robe, which makes people laugh when they think about it.
"There are too many people, leave thirty people to preside over the affairs of the camp, and the rest will follow me out of the city!"
Yan Bei took a deep breath, Fang was a little carried away by anger and anxiety, his subordinates were not in the past when there were only more than sixty horses, now there are three hundred cavalry under his subordinates, if he takes all the good hands out of the city, it means that all the officers above the team in Puyin City have been taken away by him...... When the situation in the city happens, his 4,000 soldiers and horses will be like the previous defenders of Puyin City.
Without generals, no matter how many people there are, they are just a rabble, and as long as the enemy has a heart in the leaderless state, they can be broken with one blow.
"Erlang, this is the direction of Youzhou, you tell the brothers first, who are we going to kill?" Jiang Jin, who was dressed in iron armor, was parallel to Yan Bei, and asked with a horse: "You are here to order, I will present his head in three days at most, why do you have to make such a big move?" ”
"We don't have to kill people, it depends on whether Pershing knows each other or not!" Yan Bei had calmed down at this moment, and said to Jiang Jin: "Two days ago, Pershing passed through Puyin, and he was ordered by Zhang Chun to lead the army to attack Fanyang, and that grandson threatened to loot Fanyang County, and I was a little worried about Sanlang." ”
"San Lang? Isn't this Pershing also a captain, there are not many soldiers and horses, he dares to move San Lang? ”
Jiang Jincai doesn't matter what official position you have, most of the men from the Yellow Turban only recognize one truth, whoever has more knives and more soldiers is the boss...... So don't look at Yanbei as a military marquis now, but in the eyes of Jiang Jin's gang, they all think that Yanbei is now the boss of the Jizhou rebels!
"Earlier, in the mansion of Wang Zheng in Lunu City, I inadvertently collided with Zhang Chun's meeting with Wang Zheng, and that Pershing stood behind me with a knife." When Yan Bei mentioned this, his face was not good, and he carried the reins and said: "If he dares to do something to Yan Wu this time, Lao Tzu will chop off his dog's head!" ”
"How dare you have an idea about Erlang?" Jiang Jin raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Whether he moves Yan Shi Wu or not, his dog's life will be wrapped in Jiang, Erlang, don't worry, when we get to Fanyang, he will hide in the city and not go out, Lao Tzu will also kill him to show you, this dog thing!" ”
"No!" Yan Bei shook his head slowly, the wind swept across his face, and said to Jiang Jin: "If he moves Yan Wu, I will have a reason to kill him, otherwise we really can't move him, killing him is a small matter, it's a big deal for us to lead the army south to join the Han army, but if it involves Wang Zheng, it won't be beautiful." ”
Although Yanbei is not a good person, he still understands the truth of knowing the kindness of retribution, not to mention, following Zhang Chun's traitorous Han, he is accumulating his own family wealth, and now these are far from enough.
"Leave him dog-headed for a few days, after these times, sooner or later you will kill him!"
Even if Pershing didn't move Yan Wu, Yan Bei didn't plan to let this person who had murderous intentions against him live for too long.
Not this time, it's next time.
Not only Pershing, who operated, but also Zhang Chun, who gave the order, was the same.
None of them will live long!
