Chapter 292: Wei County Rebellion
Wei County is one of the top three counties in Jizhou, ranking among the top three in terms of economy and population. Moreover, today's Jizhou seat is in Yecheng, which was originally the seat of Wei County. However, after Yuan Shao moved the Jizhou administrative office to Yecheng, the administrative office of Wei County was changed to Wei County.
Wei County is near Handan, relatively far away from Yecheng, the seat of Jizhou governance. However, staying away from Yecheng is a good thing for Dong Zhao, who is now the Taishou of Wei County.
Dong Zhao had already seen that the strategists and generals under Yuan Shao's command were fighting too much, especially since he felt Feng Ji's malice towards him, Dong Zhao didn't want to stay in Yecheng, Yuan Shao's power center.
Dong Zhao stayed in his mansion, his brows furrowed.
In the south of Jizhou, there are rumors of yellow turbans in Pingqiu, Liyang, and Yanjin. Yuan Shao led the generals and strategists to sweep and took away 20,000 soldiers and horses from Yecheng, and now Yecheng can be said to be completely controlled by Zhang Yan, the former captain of Montenegro.
For Zhang Yan, Dong Zhao has no malicious intent. However, Dong Zhao faintly felt that something was not quite right with Zhang Yan's surrender.
First of all, Yuan Shao was born in a big family, and as a member of the Yellow Turban, the Montenegrin Army had no reason to defect to Yuan Shao, even if it was said that they were reformed; Why didn't he appear early or late, but when Yuan Shao came back, and the Montenegrin army appeared, Gongsun Chan immediately withdrew, and the two sides seemed to cooperate extremely tacitly.
Although Dong Zhao felt a little unusual, he knew that even if he told Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao would not necessarily listen, after all, his status was not high now. Even if he is a county guard, for Yuan Shao, he still has no status.
"Alas, looking at the weather, it seems to be raining again. ”
Dong Zhao sighed and whispered to himself.
Recently, the atmosphere in Wei County seems to be a little weird, which makes Dong Zhao have some ominous premonitions. However, he didn't know what was going on.
Yuan Shaonan went down to sweep the yellow scarves for a while, but there was no news, and there was always a feeling that the mountain rain was coming.
"My lord, there are two people outside the door asking to see you!"
While Dong Zhao was pondering, the voices of the people in the mansion woke him up from his thoughts. Dong Zhao frowned, it was so late, who would come to him? After thinking about it, Dong Zhao decided to see the other party first.
Standing in front of Dong Zhao were two young men, about thirty years old, one of them was holding a sword with a cold expression, and the other had two small beards on his lips resting unusually neatly, looking like four eyebrows from a distance, but in such a weather, he was holding a folding fan, with a somewhat elegant atmosphere, and a smile on his face, which seemed very kind.
"Lord Dong, the next two Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Blowing Snow are specially ordered by the lord of my family to protect your lordship. ”
As soon as the man who shook the fan spoke, Dong Zhao was shocked.
……
In a camp in Wei County, a group of ten soldiers gathered together to chat.
Soldier A: "Hey, have you heard, Lord Assassin Shi was killed by an arrow while fighting for the Yellow Turban?"
Soldier B: "Really, where did you get the news?"
Soldier A: "Hey, I can't lie to you about this kind of big thing? My eldest aunt's second cousin's third aunt's fourth cousin's... Uncle Jiu's brother-in-law was a soldier in Yecheng, and he saw this with his own eyes. ”
Soldier B: "I don't know that there is such a thing?"
Soldier A: "Hehe, there's more you don't know." You definitely don't know that Gongsun Zhan, who fought against foreign races in Youzhou, is now leading a large army to attack my Jizhou, saying that it is to avenge the previous time. When Gongsun Zan passed by Wei County last time, he killed Taishou and many soldiers, and I am afraid that this time it will be the same. And I heard that Lord Assassin Shi died, and his eldest son Yuan Tan inherited Jizhou. This Yuan Tan had just taken office and wanted to repel Gongsun Chan to stabilize his position. ”
Soldier B: "Wow, this brother is so good, you know this kind of thing! But what does this have to do with us?"
Soldier A: "Hmph, you don't know if you're dying. Let's not talk about whether Gongsun Chan will kill us when he calls. As far as I know, Yuan Tan is a waste, he knows that he can't beat Gongsun Zhan, so he wants to use us soldiers to consume Gongsun Zhan's troops, and then send the elite of Yecheng to repel Gongsun Zhan! Now you know that it has nothing to do with you, right? We are cannon fodder now, let's wait for death together!"
Soldier B: "Damn, how can this be? What if Yuan Tan is the eldest son of Lord Shi, do we have to send him to death!"
Soldier C: "That's it, that's it, never send to death!"
Soldier Ding: "This old brother is so knowledgeable, what is the best way to save us?"
Soldier A: "Of course, there is a way, but I don't know if you have the courage to do so." However, I don't think you recruits have the guts, so let's not talk about it!"
Soldier B: "Nonsense, who said that we don't have the guts, if my brother has any way, just say it, we will do it." If you want us to die in vain, it's impossible!"
Soldier C: "That is, we will not send us to death." ”
Seeing that the soldiers beside him were all angry, a smug smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, he turned his head to look around, and said in a low voice: "Now that Gongsun Chan is attacking Jizhou, maybe some people will die, and some people will not die, it depends on luck; if we follow Yuan Tan's order to resist Gongsun Zhan, we will definitely become cannon fodder and will definitely die; in this case, why don't we turn around and follow Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Chan swept away the foreign races and was famous, and we are afraid that we will not be able to make contributions in the future if we follow him?"
“…”
When Soldier B, Soldier C, Soldier D and others heard this, they were all silent. Let them rebel, this is a heinous crime, if the rebellion fails, it will really be certain death.
Soldier A seemed to know their concerns, and immediately sneered and said, "I know that you don't have the guts, and you still brag about how bold you are." It would be impossible for me to send Yuan Tan to death, and I would definitely go to Gongsun Zhan. Everyone is a brother, and if you want to stay and die, I will not dissuade you. However, brother, you can't leak the matter of my defection to Gongsun Zhan. I don't think you stupid people don't know, but I guess the other brothers in the army already know about these things, so you can do it yourself. ”
After listening to Soldier A's words, Soldier B and the others dispersed, and after a while they came to Soldier A's tent again, their faces gloomy. It turned out that they had just gone to other camps and found that everyone was discussing these things, and it seemed that Soldier A was right.
Soldier B: "Brother, since Yuan Tan wants us to die, then we will turn against his mother, and we will join General Gongsun Zan with you." ”
Soldier C: "That's right, brother, we're messing with you!"
Soldier A smiled and whispered again, "If we go to General Gongsun Chan like this, we will just be an ordinary soldier. In this case, why don't we kill those centurions and captains who show off their martial arts on weekdays, and when we get to General Gongsun Zhan, we can at least be a ten-division commander, maybe a centurion or a captain, which is better than being an ordinary soldier. Moreover, the brothers of the other battalions probably have such thoughts, and we must do it as soon as possible, otherwise they will rob them of the credit. ”
The ten soldiers glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, and shouted in a low voice: "Okay, we obey my brother, kill those guys, and beat and scold us on weekdays." ”
"It's done!"
Such a scene was staged at the same time in many military camps in Wei County, and then, that night, tens of thousands of soldiers in Wei County rebelled, beheaded centurions and generals at the rank of captain, and at the same time played the banner of Gongsun Zhan, and slaughtered Yecheng in a mighty manner.
All of a sudden, Wei County was in chaos.
