Episode 159: The Princes Shake
>๏ผ๏ผ
Yingchuan County, Taishou Mansion, the current Taishou Yin is resting, if you want to say that this guy, although he is not famous in history, but if you count the configuration under his command, it will be against the sky!
Xie Chenghou Hanshu said: Nanyang Yin Xiu is the Taishou of Yingchuan, with Jingxian and Jun as the business, lifting the five senses to Peng Zhang Zhong Fangzheng, Chagong Cao Zhongxuan Master Book Xun Yu Master Ji Peng Zhang Li thief Cao Peng Du You filial piety Xun Yu Ji Guo Tu is the official, with the Guangguo Dynasty, Yin Xiu official at least the house. ๏ฟกโ๏ผ
These talents, the princes can prosper if they get one of them, and this guy is like a straw, hugging a big bundle, which is really eye-catching.
Therefore, Xiao Lan, who was seriously lacking in civil servants and strategists, the first thing he did when he marched into Yuzhou was to make a surprise attack on Yingchuan County, in order to say that these talents were all in one catch, even if they refused to serve themselves, they could not be allowed to join those princes to serve them.
"Knock knock......" A quick knock on the door woke Yin Xiu, he opened his eyes from his slumber, and scolded impatiently: "Who is this?" The third watch in the middle of the night still doesn't let people sleep? Looking for death, huh?! โ
"My lord, I'm Zhang Yi, a herald under Captain Ma, it's not good, open the door quickly, I have something important to tell you." Outside the door, there was a panicked shout from the herald soldier Zhang Yi.
Yin Xiu seemed to sense that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned over and got up, but before he could open the door, the door had been slammed open, and Zhang Yi rushed in covered in blood:
"My lord, it's not good, someone stole the city!"
"What? Someone steals the city? Is it Dong Zhuo's thief army or the remnants of the Yellow Turban, how many people are there? Hearing this, Yin Xiu couldn't help but be startled, after all, this is the hinterland of Yuzhou!
Zhang Yi responded: "It's too dark, I can't see who it is." I don't know how many enemy troops there are, but the city gate is now completely lost. โ
"What?!" Yin Xiu was shocked when he heard this: "Hurry up and gather people, we will go to the city gate immediately, we must hold the city, and we can't let the thief army succeed!" โ
Just when Yin Xiu mobilized the guards in the city to defend against foreign enemies, Xu Chu led three hundred elite guards. has already captured the city gate, put down the drawbridge, and then, Xiao Lan gave an order, and the Taiping soldiers who were waiting in the dense forest outside the city, under the leadership of Zhou Cang, came out of the sheath one after another, and the sword came out of the box, and came out of the woods. Rushing towards the Yingchuan Yingchuan City Gate.
Liu Pi and Gong Du each held soldiers and horses, guarding outside the other three gates to prevent the appearance of fish that slipped through the net, Xiao Lan had already ordered that none of the people in Yingchuan could escape.
The army attacked, and the black crowd was like a torrent. In the blink of an eye, he rushed into Yingchuan City. Yin Xiu had just led three thousand officers and soldiers to defend the city, and before he reached the city gate, looking at the black pressure and the endless Taiping army, the whole person's heart sank to the bottom at the moment.
"The thieves are so strong that it may be difficult to resist. Retreat, retreat! Yin Xiu didn't have the slightest nonsense in his mouth, and he immediately took his personal guards and prepared to retreat. Before the officers and soldiers could react, he had already retreated to the end of the ranks of the officers and soldiers with dozens of personal guards, wanting to escape.
"The city is broken. Those who descend will not be killed! Zhou Cang brandished a big sword, rode on a horse, dressed in black armor, led the army under his command, and rushed straight to the official army of Yingchuan.
Seeing that even the county guard had slipped away, the Yingchuan officers and soldiers, who were already unstable and demoralized, still had the slightest heart of resistance, and immediately scattered in fright.
In the dark night, the vision was blurred, the soldiers behind couldn't see the situation in front of them at all, they hadn't figured out what was going on, they heard the shouts in front, and they also fled, and the three thousand officers and soldiers were scared away most of them before they fought, and even the officers and soldiers had many people, because of the crowding and stampede, they were killed and injured a lot by their own people, and some people who didn't have time to retreat put down their swords and surrendered, and there were almost no stubborn people.
Seeing this, Xiao Lan couldn't help laughing, and while receiving prisoners, he ordered people to continue to move forward, and he wanted to fully occupy the entire Yingchuan.
Tiger Prison Pass, the princes of the Eighteenth Road are still confronting Dong Zhuo, but since Lu Bu was overturned by Liu Guan Zhang, Dong Zhuo obviously doesn't want to fight with the princes' coalition anymore.
Li Ru saw Dong Zhuo's mind clearly, so he admonished: "Now that Wenhou is newly defeated, the soldiers have no heart to fight. Why don't you lead the troops back to Luoyang and move the emperor to Chang'an, in response to the nursery rhyme. Recently, the nursery rhyme in the market said: There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. When the deer enters Chang'an, there is no difficulty. Chen Si said that 'the first Han in the west' should be Gaozu Wang in the western capital of Chang'an, and passed on the 12 emperors; 'The first Han in the east' should be Guangwuwang in the eastern capital Luoyang, and now it is also passed on to the 12 emperors. Fortune is back. The prime minister moved back to Chang'an, so that he would be safe. โ
When Dong Zhuo heard this, his eyes lit up at the moment, and he led Lu Bu and others out of the Tiger Prison Pass that night, and went straight to Luoyang and returned, and the princes were still afraid of the power of the Xiliang Army, so they didn't dare to make any moves for a while, but gave Dong Zhuo the time to move the Han Emperor to Chang'an, and it was not until a few days later that the princes and the allied army noticed the emptiness of the city's defenses and led the troops to attack the Tiger Pass.
However, before the princes were happy, a herald came to report: "Report, alliance leader, my lords, something is wrong, the anti-thief Taiping army suddenly launched a few months ago, Xuzhou Yanzhou and Yuzhou have fallen one after another, and most of Yangzhou has been captured, and the thief army has been killed under Shouchun City!" โ
"What?!" Hearing this, Yuan Shao and the others couldn't believe their ears, but they didn't expect that a few months ago, the Taiping Army, which was still making trouble in Qingzhou, would even go down to the four states in just a few months, this news is really shocking.
"What you say is true?!" Cao Cao calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "The Taiping Army was launched, and it was already news a few months ago, why didn't you report it now?" โ
The herald said: "The Taiping army launched quickly, the defenders around the country were defeated before they had time to react, the city was lost, the Taiping army deliberately blocked the news, coupled with their implementation of the policy of 'fighting local tyrants and dividing the land', the people everywhere were attached to it, and they got the orders of the Taiping army, and they did not let the news circulate at all, so the transmission of this news was inevitably a little slow......
Someone couldn't help but ask: "'Fight local tyrants and divide the land'?" What do you mean? โ
"If you return to your lordship, the Taiping army confiscated the land of the scholars in various places and distributed it evenly to the people, and the tax was only one hundred taxes, and the Taiping Constitution was also formulated, and all laws were subject to the legal code, and no one was allowed to exceed them, and those who violated the law in various places were killed." When the herald said this, his eyes couldn't help but show a touch of yearning, saying that his hometown was in Chenliu, Yuzhou, and it was said that it had been occupied by the Taiping army, and he didn't know how much land he had been distributed.
"Ahh Hearing this, the princes and officials from all over the country couldn't help but let out a miserable howl, and one by one, their faces changed drastically, and even worse, they sat down on the ground as soon as their legs became weak.
Xuzhou Yanzhou Yuzhou, is the key hinterland of the Han Dynasty, is the Eastern Han Dynasty economic, cultural and political center, every wealthy family, occupy a pivotal position, either rich and noble, or amazingly learned, or several generations of officials, which is not a small role.
What's more, among the eighteen princes present, everyone's nest is basically there, such as the later general Yuan Shu is Nanyang Taishou, Kong Ling is the Yuzhou Thorn History, Liu Dai is the Yanzhou Thorn History, Yuan Yi is the Shanyang Thorn History, Qiao Mao is the Dongjun Taishou, Bao Xin is the Jibei Xiang, Kong Rong is the Beihai Taishou, Zhang Chao is the Guangling Taishou, Tao Qian is the Xuzhou Thorn History, Zhang Miao is Chen Liu, and even Cao Cao started from here.
But now, they have just laid the tiger prison, and their nest has been lost, for these princes, it is undoubtedly in a dilemma, Yuan Shu, Zhang Miao, Bao Xin, Zhang Chao and others have shouted to return to the army to rescue, Tao Qian, Liu Dai and others are also embarrassed.
For a while, Yuan Shao couldn't help but be anxious, Nima, this is more than ten princes, if they all leave, the alliance of princes will be crippled directly!
At this time, I heard Cao Cao say: "Now there is a traitor Dong Zhuo in the front, and there is a Taiping anti-thief in the back, I am in a dilemma, we must not mess up our positions, we can divide into two parts, one will continue to attack Dong Zhuo to rescue His Majesty, and the other will go to the states to quell the rebellion and stabilize the rear, do you think so?" โ
At the moment, under Yuan Shao's order, there were Yuan Shu, Zhang Miao, Bao Xin, Zhang Chao, Tao Qian, Qiao Mao and other six princes to fight back, and the rest continued to march into Luoyang, although this order did not satisfy everyone, but it was also a helpless way...... (To be continued......)
