Chapter 122: Raiders on Yongzhou

The month-long auspicious month has come to an end, and with the help of the system, all lucky events are doubled.

The weapons and other good things offered below were naturally placed in the secret storage room of the mansion. Among these weapons, the Ice Phoenix and the Fire Phoenix are authentic Horcruxes, and the other weapons, even if they are not Horcruxes, are also divine weapons at that time, and they have the value of collecting.

Even, the Zhangba snake spear that was seized and used for a period of time was also stored here, waiting for someone destined to appear. As for the more than 30 sweaty horses, they were sent to the royal ranch to be stocked and mated, and if they were lucky, they would not be able to say that a group of explosive, fast, and endurance horses would be born in the horse farm.

However, Fang Yun did not hide his secrets, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Xie Ran, Zhou Cang, Chen Tao and Zhao Li each sent a horse. Considering that the stallions have the habit of being castrated these years, they are specially ordered not to be castrated, and it is a big deal not to ride during the estrus period.

These thirty horses are truly top-notch horses, with stirrups and horseshoes, and although they lack stamina, they are very suitable for charging into battle. As for the usual riding, the general Mongolian horses or the horses in the Qianghu and Xiongnu areas are sufficient.

The Moon Bow was given to Yang Feng by him, and the Sun Bow was given to Zhou Cang, both of whom had 'archery' characteristics, and Zhou Cang had evolved to the same 'Bow Essence' characteristics as Huang Zhong, and the bow and arrow were more useful in their hands than in the hands of others.

Considering that the two of them were already innate military generals, Fang Yun even used the Soul Melting Furnace to refine two weapons into Horcruxes, which was why they were given to the two of them. For this reason, Li Kan and Zhang Heng's martial souls are naturally consumed, but fortunately, they are both second-rate generals, which is not a waste.

Handle these trivial matters properly, seeing that the autumn harvest is about to begin, while the winter has not yet arrived, Fang Yun has to focus on the Yongzhou area, after all, the sooner he completes the main task, he will feel at ease.

Is this obsessive-compulsive? Fang Yun couldn't say it. It's just that when you get used to the task appearing, you will subconsciously want to complete it as soon as possible!

At the beginning, the Eastern Han Dynasty actually had fourteen states, and Sidi was divided into Sizhou and Yongzhou, but it was later canceled.

Sidi and Yongzhou merged. Since then, there have only been thirteen states in the world. When Dong Zhuo took Liu Xie to Guannei, he issued an edict at that time to re-establish Yongzhou, and the world returned to the situation of the fourteen states.

Under some political necessity at the time, Fang Yun agreed to the legitimacy of this edict. In fact, Liu Wei also issued an edict later, saying that the world was divided back into 14 states.

The land of Hongnong County in the former Sizhou was separated, and together with the five counties under the jurisdiction of the original Liangzhou, Anding County, Fufeng County, Jingzhao County, Beidi County and Fengxu County, a total of six counties were included under the rule of Yongzhou.

According to history, Yongzhou was set up again in 194 by Li Dao. Moreover, the area divided is also very different from now, but according to Fang Yun's opinion, this division is more reasonable.

Ma Chao's side has already agreed to send troops, and he has more benefits in this battle. After all, Fang Yun had already agreed that his clan brother Ma Dai would lead an army to defend the Yongzhou region, which was equivalent to a military commander in later generations. At that time, the Ma family not only had the deputy commander of the armed police, but also two commanders of the military region, and two middle-level officers, and the revival of the Ma family was beyond doubt.

Ma Teng and Ma Chaonaturally know what price they need to pay. They will gain military power in two military districts, but at the same time they will lose the administrative power of these two military districts. To put it simply, they have military power, but they cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the two places. Salaries in both places are paid by the central government. However, if the Ma clan is doing business, it is enough to subsidize it in policy.

Ma Teng has no objection to this. Ma Chao naturally didn't dare to object.

According to Guo Jia's plan, once the two places are pacified, they will inevitably gradually reinstate the military power of the Ma clan. There is no need to be too direct, first of all, to arrange for the commissar to settle in. And then there's the uniformity of military regulations. The political commissar does not interfere with the command power, and military regulations are the most basic things in the army, so the resistance is naturally the least.

After that, it is to arrange for officers to further train, and in the process to further deepen the brainwashing, in short, it is to control the middle and low-level officers of the Ma army. In addition, the Propaganda Department will further deepen its propaganda work. Ensure that once Ma Chao rebels, then the only troops he can mobilize are the parts he has the closest trusts. But almost immediately, it was attacked by the soldiers below.

Under such circumstances, they began to disarm, change jobs, and add a group of other soldiers to further dilute the prestige of Ma Chao and others in the army, and finally completely accept this army.

Not to mention anything else, Ma Chao's two brothers, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, have begun to study at the military academy. After a series of brainwashing and education, and then let them go back, under the national righteousness and national righteousness, the two of them naturally know how to do it.

This time, Ma Chao was willing to send 12,000 troops, including 7,000 cavalry and 5,000 foot soldiers. Fang Yun also planned here, sending 8,000 soldiers to support, including 3,000 siege troops, 2,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry.

In terms of siege troops, it was handed over to Xu Huang's clansman Xu Le, who had graduated from the military academy and was also very proficient in the use and command of siege equipment. The siege troops that were erected were naturally the best candidates.

The 2,000 infantry soldiers were also led by Xu Huanglai, who was the commander of the war; The 3,000 cavalry was handed over to Zhou Cang's command, and these 3,000 cavalry were the elite selected from the 10,000 cavalry he originally commanded.

In the Yongzhou region, except for Jingzhao County, the Chang'an court occupied the name of Yongzhou, but there was no actual domination. The other prefectures and counties were almost all semi-autonomous, and they were ostensibly subservient to the Chang'an regime, but in fact they did not listen to propaganda or tunes.

Ma Chao took the first step and set off from Liangzhou to the east, and along the way, these states and counties were almost in the wind. Ma Chao didn't mean to remove them, he just took away their military power, as for the political side, it was handed over to Fang Yun for arrangement, this was originally an agreed thing, before Fang Yun showed his intention to persecute the Ma clan, Ma Chao would keep his promise and wait for his transfer.

It didn't take long for Fang Yunjun to also go south, and those states and counties did not dare to stop them along the way, and surrendered one after another. The difference is that while Fang Yunjun is walking, he arranges all the affairs of personnel assessment and local garrison. Qualified officials shall be retained or demoted to half a grade. For unqualified officials, they were transferred or dismissed, giving them some face, and there was no liquidation or raiding of their homes.

The two armies began to converge, approaching Jingzhao County step by step. If the Chang'an regime has not received the news at this time, then it can only be said that the heavens are really going to kill them.

But what if you know the news? They already knew about this as early as when the two armies began to move. After the initial confusion, there was also a discussion about how to do it.

First of all, Dong Cheng said that he could ask for help, but they were also orthodox in the Han Dynasty, and now they were attacked by anti-thieves, so it was natural for the assassins from various states to come to King Qin. According to his meaning, he could ask Liu Yan to go north to rescue, but if it didn't work, he could ask Bai Bojun to come to the rescue.

Then, Han Sui said that Chang'an City has thick walls and is indeed suitable for defensive battles, but if there is no foreign aid, it is only a matter of time before it falls. So what he meant was that he would send troops to Hongnong County to garrison, and when the other Qinwang armies arrived, he would launch a surprise attack on the rear of Fang Yun and Ma Chao's army.

At that time, Liu Xie was only thirteen years old, and he had not yet been able to make up his mind, and to a large extent, it was decided by Dong Cheng and Wang Yun. Wang Yun did not object to these suggestions, according to his intentions, he really couldn't beat them, and he could also leave through the secret passage, go south from Tongguan, and join other royal families.

For example, Liu Yan, such as Liu Biao, such as Liu Xuan, or Liu Bei, who claimed to be the king of Zhongshan Jing. The preliminary decision was to take refuge in Liu Xuan, who served as the assassin in Yangzhou, which was blocked by a large river and had a dense water network in the south, which was not suitable for large-scale cavalry operations, and it was obviously the most suitable to form a new imperial court there.

But first, naturally, I sent a letter of help to others first, not only to Liu Yan and Bai Bojun, but also to Liu Biao and Liu Bei. At the same time, Han Sui took his headquarters army east to Hongnong County to garrison. seems to be a response, but in fact, everyone can see that he is ready to run away at any time.

It's okay like this, I was worried that he would become Dong Zhuo's second, but now I can rest assured.

A few days later, as the enemy army approached, a lot of bad news was reported. Liu Yan, Liu Biao, Liu Bei and Bai Bojun all said that they were not feeling well, or that they were busy with the autumn harvest, so they could not send troops.

This excuse is a joke, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Quartet does not intend to intervene in this war. Even if the land of Guanzhong is the land of Longxing, the complexity here is also very headache-inducing.

Liu Biao was too far apart and did not intend to get involved in the fight between the two princes; Liu Yan only thought about closing the door of Bashu and being a soil emperor with peace of mind; Bai Bojun also just wants to be a warlord and an emperor quietly; Liu Bei had to consider whether Yuan Shu and Cao Cao would attack him while he was sending troops.

Obviously, there was not a single reinforcement in Chang'an City. There are only three options it can do: 1. Fight to the last person, pray that Han Sui can come over to help, and can defeat Fang Yunjun; 2. Open the door and surrender; 3. Run!

In this regard, the first choice seems to have been selectively forgotten by them, apparently not believing in Han Sui's character.

But there is a disagreement between the second and third options:

Dong Cheng said that Liu Wei is Liu Xie's brother, even if he is a half-brother, but he is also connected by blood, so he will naturally not treat Liu Xie badly, at most he can't be the emperor, so he can enjoy wealth and wealth; Wang Yun felt that since Liu Xie was already the emperor and was destined by heaven, how could he give up on himself like this? Besides, who can guarantee that Fang Yun will not secretly hack Liu Xie?

While they were arguing, Ma Chao and Fang Yunjun had already surrounded Chang'an City...... (To be continued.) )
