Chapter 605: Rebellion in the Northern Frontier
Youzhou.
Jicheng.
Pan Fengwei's tall body sat in the lobby of the Thorn History Mansion, his face was full of beard, and his thick face was full of boundless murderous aura, and the powerful aura of his body couldn't be suppressed at all, as if it was as violent as a fire, making everyone under the hall tremble a little.
High-level officials in northern Xinjiang gathered together.
Sitting on the left side of his hand is the Youzhou Thorn History, Sun He, and on the right side is the Pingzhou Thorn Shi Gongsun Du.
Zhang Yan, Guan Jing, Zhuge Jin...... The generals in the army, the county guards of the counties, these important figures in the military and political circles of the Wu State guarding the two states of Youping, have all expired one by one.
However, their faces were a little ugly at this moment, and their faces were gloomy, with murderous intent in their eyes.
"A certain family wants to know, why did Sun Wei turn around?"
Pan Fenghu's face was like a blade, his eyes swept over, and he asked coldly.
Originally, Sun Quan was about to ascend the throne, and after receiving the news, he should return to Jinling with Zhang Yan and Gongsun Du Sun He and others to attend Sun Quan's enthronement hall and congratulate the new king on his succession.
However, their ship was already halfway back to Jinling City, but after receiving a message, they turned around and returned to the northern frontier.
Because, there have been great changes in northern Xinjiang, and someone must guard it.
The sudden internal mutiny, the invasion of foreign enemies, the banner of Gongsun Chan in the past, the banner of Liu Yu, the Xianbei people, the Xiongnu people, the Karasuma people, and the Goguryeo people...... All of a sudden, they all came out, catching Youzhou and Pingzhou off guard.
Beacon fires broke out everywhere, and the east, north, and west directions of the northern frontier of Wu State all fell. The defenders of Wu Guozhen defending the northern frontier were defeated and retreated.
In less than three days, Pingzhou has lost Xuansu County and Liaodong vassal states, and Youzhou has also lost Liaoxi County, even Shanggu and Yuyang. Right Beiping, have lost a lot of cities.
Counting up, in the entire northern frontier of Wu State, they lost at least one-third of their territory.
This is an unprecedented and important blow to the two states of Youping ruled by Wu, it was not without soldiers and horses in the past, but it has never been so violent.
Among them, the most unexpected is the eldest son of Sun Jing, the former Pingzhou assassin, Sun Wei actually rebelled, and he led tens of thousands of troops. He killed several of the Pingzhou guards, seized Xuansu County, and led the Goguryeo people to open the eastern gate of Pingzhou and invade Pingzhou on a large scale.
"General, this is a certain mistake!" Gongsun Du stood up, looked a little ashamed, leaned over and said, "In the past, I respected him as the Wu royal family. So he hasn't been too wary of him all along, even though he has always had the ambition to lead the army before. I didn't think much about it, but I didn't think that he suddenly rose up, beheaded several generals under the command of a certain family, gathered troops to stand, and actually led the Goguryeo people to invade the east, which was the fault of his subordinates. The subordinates should personally ask the king for their guilt! ”
It was Sun Quanbao who came out of the mountain and regained control of Liaodong.
There were so many mistakes, which made him ashamed of his trust in Sun Quan, and he blamed himself for a while.
"Don't say anything to condemn you. If we want to say that we are guilty, we are all guilty, if Pingzhou and Youzhou are lost under our noses, we will all kill ourselves and go to see the first king! ”
Pan Feng let out a long cry and slapped the desk in front of him, and the entire desk was torn apart.
He came to Youzhou, cleaned up many people who were ready to move because of Sun Jian's death, originally thought that he had stabilized the northern frontier, the most difficult months in the northern frontier had passed, and now that the navy had returned to the East China Sea, he was relieved.
But at such a juncture, the Karasuma people rebelled, the Xianbei people rebelled, the Huns rebelled, and Goguryeo rebelled......
Pan Feng took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked coldly: "What a certain family wants to know most now is why Sun Wei, a member of the Wu royal family, would rebel against the Wu Kingdom and lead thieves into the customs!" ”
Sun Wei is the eldest son of Wu Zongzheng, Sun Jingzhi, why would he betray Wu Guo, if it weren't for him, Pingzhou would not be so passive.
"General!"
Zhuge Jin squinted slightly, his eyes crossed a trace of essence, and suddenly whispered: "The change of Jinling City, the third prince was defeated, and his family of people and horses were all purged by the king, Sun Wei heard that he had a deep friendship with the third prince, and he also intended to raise troops to increase the momentum of the third prince, the reason why he defected may be that he was afraid that the king would settle accounts after the autumn!" ”
Sun Quan put him in Yuyang, if it weren't for his vigilance this time, Yuyang would probably have been taken down by the Karasuma leader.
"Bastard!"
When Pan Feng heard this, a pair of phoenix eyes burst out with a cold killing: "As a royal family, but he forgets his roots, he really deserves to die!" ”
"General, Sun Hui's matter should be reported back to Jinling at this time, it won't take long, I believe the king will make a decision, and now our stability in the north is the most important thing!"
Zhang Yan glanced at Pan Feng and said in a low voice.
Joining Wu Guo may be the most fulfilling thing in his life, just because Wu Guo let millions of Yellow Turban people have food to eat and land to cultivate, which is enough for him to work hard for Wu State.
"Who will sue me, how many troops do we have in Northern Xinjiang now?"
Pan Feng forced himself to calm down and asked.
He has already reported Jinling, how Sun Wei will deal with it, it depends on Jinling's actions, what he has to do now is to keep the northern Xinjiang.
"General, when the western expedition to Jingzhou was made, the first king drew nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses from the northern frontier!"
Youzhou Assassin Shi Sun He walked out and said: "Later, the tens of thousands of cavalry guarding Shanggu suddenly left Youzhou and returned to Jinling, and now the entire Youzhou has less than 20,000 troops!" ”
"There were originally more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in Pingzhou, but because of Sun Wei's rebellion, there are only more than 18,000 people who can be mobilized now!"
Gongsun Du followed up.
If it weren't for the westward expedition, the troops in the north would be enough to protect themselves, even if they came together, they would fight together, but now, the westward expedition to Jingzhou, the 100,000 elites who were transferred made the northern Xinjiang extremely empty.
"In other words, even if we add up, we don't have an army of less than 40,000?"
Pan Feng's thick eyebrows furrowed, this little force, if you want to defend a state, it is still a little possible, but if you want to keep Youzhou and Pingzhou, it is not possible at all.
"Luo Ming, tell me your news!"
Pan Feng glanced at the young man sitting in the back, this was the person in charge of Jinyiwei in Northern Xinjiang.
"No!"
Hearing this, Luo Ming nodded, then stood up and took out several files. handed it to everyone and said: "This is the Jinyiwei who has quickly collected the information of the rebels from all sides in the past few days, this time it is our Jinyiwei's dereliction of duty, I didn't expect it to come so suddenly, I'm sorry!" ”
"Say something useful!" Pan Feng drank coldly.
"Yes, that's the first point. Sun Hui's sudden rebellion attracted the Goguryeo people, and we were caught off guard, and their combined army was at least more than 50,000 troops, and within ten days, they would definitely be in Liaodong! Luo Ming said.
"And then there's the Karasuma people, and their leader is Tun, who was the first to send troops, and his troops are not weak. This time, he seemed to have exhausted the cavalry of the tribe, with 30,000 elite cavalry and tens of thousands of young and strong infantry, and took several cities north of Liaoxi and Heyuyang."
Luo Ming continued: "Not only that, but the leader of the Xianbei people, Kebineng, has also sent troops, and he has a lot of troops, so he doesn't need to have fewer Karasuma cavalry, so in a short period of time, he will go south to Daijun and Shanggu!" ”
"What else?"
Pan Feng calmed down. These forces are dealt with one by one, and he can capture them at hand. But now that they have sent troops together, the entire northern Xinjiang is suddenly in danger.
Luo Ming continued: "There are also the Huns, but they don't have many tribes in the Youping Grassland, most of them are in the west, so they don't send many troops, and in the end there are the remnants of Gongsun Zhan......"
He glanced at Guan Jing. Then he said: "The leader is a general named Wangmen, before he fled with Gongsun Zhan's 5,000 cavalry and fled to the grassland, and now he actually killed back, and the army is not weak." There are at least 30,000 troops, and this army has gathered a lot of remnants according to Jinyiwei's observation, and the military division is actually Yan Rou? ”
"Yan Rou, isn't he dead?"
Guan Jing's eyes were cold, this was Liu Yu's military advisor in the past, in the battle of Luhe, Liu Yu's remnants were defeated by Gongsun Zhan and the Wu army of Pingzhou, and it was rumored that he had died in battle.
"No one saw his body in the past, not only did he not die, but even Xian Yufu did not die!" Luo Ming said: "The army of Wangmen is actually the remnants of Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu, and there are many Han people on the grassland where they are gathered!" ”
"This matter has nothing to do with the Gongsun family, the royal family had different intentions in the past!"
Guan Jing thought for a while and analyzed: "He is the person who rebelled against Yuan Shao!" ”
"Hehe, the chickens and dogs are all gathered together!"
Pan Feng sneered.
"General, we don't have enough troops, and this battle in the north is not easy to fight!"
Zhang Yan pondered for a moment, his face was solemn, and said: "If we concentrate our troops, even if there is a huge disparity in strength, with the morale and sophisticated equipment of our Wu army, we can fight a battle, but they are blooming on all sides, and we can't stop them at all!" ”
"Youzhou can't be lost, and Pingzhou can't be discarded!" Pan Feng stood up and said coldly: "Zhang Yan! ”
"The last general!"
"Put it in the upper valley, Kebineng? A certain family is in Jicheng, and he doesn't dare to enter Jicheng half a step into Jicheng, but Yuyang is the core of Youzhou, and he can't let them succeed! ”
Pan Feng stood up, his breath revealed a great confidence, his phoenix eyes were shining, bursting into a cold light, and said: "I will give you all the soldiers in Youzhou, take back the lost land of Yuyang, and hold Yuyang!" ”
Jicheng is majestic, the city is high and the walls are thick, and the nomadic cavalry is inexperienced in siege, and will not make too many siege equipment, even if the city is only a collection of tens of thousands of young and strong, with his guard, it is enough to stabilize Jicheng.
But Yuyang can't be lost.
Tatun is the son of the former Karasuma leader Qiu Liju, this person can abandon Qiu Liju's son Lou Ban and monopolize Karasuma's power, but he is not an ordinary person.
"No!"
Zhang Yan nodded, respectfully received the order, and said.
"Gongsun Du!" Pan Feng thought for a moment.
"The subordinates are here!"
"You quickly return to Pingzhou, take back Lelang's soldiers and horses, stick to Liaodong, and wait for reinforcements!" Pan Feng sighed a little, the northern frontier was too big, the defense line was too big, and he simply didn't have enough troops to resist.
"No!"
Pan Feng said suddenly: "Gongsun Du, once Liaodong can't hold it, you will give up the county towns around Liaodong, gather your troops, and stick to Xiangping, and you must not let Xiangping City have any mistakes!" ”
"Subordinates understood!"
When Gongsun Du heard this, his eyes were clear, and he nodded firmly.
"Zhuge Jin, you go to the East China Sea in person!" Pan Feng squinted slightly, pondered for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Ask Gan Ning, is it possible for the navy to land and support?" ”
He knew that the navy had suffered too many casualties in the first battle in Chibi, and now he was still licking his wounds, and he would not ask the navy for help if it was possible, but the situation was critical, and he had to rescue.
Even if there are reinforcements in the country, they will not come quickly, and they can only keep some important cities with such a small number of troops now, and they cannot send troops to drive them away.
Seeing the cities of Wu fall under his nose, his heart was like a knife.
Xianbei people, Karasuma people, Huns...... These steppe alien races are different from the princes of the Central Plains, they pay attention to burning, killing and looting, and they have been harmed, and the entire northern Xinjiang will be greatly injured.
"No!"
Zhuge Jin nodded and took the order.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the king's accession to the throne is imminent, and we must not let him lose face!"
Pan Feng's eyes burst out with a touch of resolute essence: "Even if the northern Xinjiang can't be defended, it must be defended, before June 6, I don't want to hear that any city has been taken, life and death are just the only battle, you encouragement!" ”
"The only battle!"
When everyone heard this, their whole people immediately became excited. (To be continued......)
