Chapter 157: An Army Formed Overnight
Han Zhuo looked at Liu Bei and the Red Star Camp messenger who was brought in by Liu Bei with a puzzled expression, Han Zhuo also knew about the relationship between Liu Bei and Ma Qiang, but Han Zhuo couldn't figure out how Ma Qiang suddenly became the assassin of Youzhou.
Although it is temporary, it is also a history of thorns!
"Envoy, whether it's true or not, it can boost morale." Zou Jing said in a low voice, Han Zhuo turned his back and asked in a tangled manner, "If the court blames it in the future, what can I do?" ”
"Envoy! It's better than losing the city and martyrdom! ”
When Han Zhuo heard this, he felt that what Zou Jing said was extremely reasonable, and now the city was still under siege outside, if he didn't give some hope, I was afraid that the city would be broken in a few days.
And even if the court blames him, there is Ma Qiang in front first, and he can be said to be defending the city to boost morale!
Deng Mao outside the city was urging the siege of the city, and suddenly heard bursts of cheers from inside the city, and his face immediately darkened, no matter what the city cheered again, the good things in the city must be bad things outside the city.
"Listen to what they're cheering for?"
"It seems to be talking about the history of Spurs, and what else is going on... Reinforcements? ”
Reinforcements??? Where did it come from? North? It's impossible, Qu Shuai is still there, that is the south, is Jizhou defeated?
Deng Mao immediately ordered the troops to be collected, and then retreated to Hebei, waiting for the battle, and when Deng Mao figured out that there were no reinforcements coming, the defense of Zhuo County had been restored, and he was angry while scolding people while continuing to grind the city wall.
- Wuhuan tribe of Shanggu County
"Dao Chief, look, this is Wuhuan." Yan Rou pointed to Yanshan Mountain in the distance and said, "If you go over that mountain, you will be Xianbei." ”
"I heard that Camp Master Yan used to be handsome in Wuhuan? Today, I really have a lot of fame. Gan Shi asked as he nodded to the Wuhuan herdsmen who were giving salutes to them.
"They only greeted us under the banner of the Red Star Battalion, but it wasn't because of me, the camp owner bought a large amount of wool in their hands this year and gave them a lot of benefits, and they were naturally grateful to us."
"I see." Gan Shi touched his beard and said, "Battalion Commander Yan, do you think the Wuhuan people will send troops?" ”
"Yes, but for money!" Yan Rou explained, "Helping the Han to fight in exchange for money and grain is an important source of income for Wuhuan, as long as the money is enough, the difficult building will personally go into battle, the Wuhuan people are actually very poor, although they also farm, but mainly rely on grazing, we are afraid of natural disasters when farming, but grazing is more unstable, ordinary herdsmen simply can't eat." ”
Gan Shi closed his mouth, not knowing what he was thinking.
When he came to the big tent of Nanlou, Nanlou had already gotten the news, he laughed and walked over to Yan Rou, who was on the horse, with open arms, "My good brother, you are finally here, you are not drunk tonight!" ”
Looking at the appearance of Nanlou, it seems that there is no such thing as the past when he gave Yan Rou and Yan Rou's tribe to Ma Qiang.
Yan Rou hugged Nanlou to show her kindness, Nanlou looked at Gan Shi and asked, "Who is this?" ”
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Poor and willing, he was added as the deputy minister of the Science and Education Department of the Red Star Battalion. ”
Well, yes, Ma Qiang gave him an official, Zhang Zhen was angry at first, and then laughed and gave Gan Shi a lot of work, and the angry Gan Shi scolded him for not being a son.
"Red Star Battalion's! That's your own person, let's go, let's drink! ”
Gan Shi looked at Yan Rou, Yan Rou nodded, and entered the big tent together.
The big tent of the Wuhuan people, like other grassland peoples, is extremely wide inside, not to mention a few people sitting and drinking, hundreds of people can have a party.
After three rounds of drinking, Yan Rou handed Ma Qiang's letter to Nanlou, and Nanlou said after reading it, "I promised the master of the Ma camp before, no, now I should call Ma Envoy Jun, as long as there is something in the Red Star Camp, I will help, but this time it is a war, and there are no eyes on the battlefield..."
"Rest assured, the money and food that should be given will never be less."
"Well, that's good, I will send two thousand cavalry to Guangyang with you to help in the battle, and I will tell you one thing for the sake of the relationship between Ma Envoy Jun and me.
As early as a few years ago, there were lobbyists from Taiping Road who came to me, hoping that I could respond after they raised troops, but I didn't agree, I think there will probably be no fewer such people, and Youzhou is not only my Wuhuan. ”
Gan Shi and Yan Rou couldn't help but glance at each other, and the name of Liaoxi Qiu Liju flashed in their minds.
"Thank you for telling me about this, I will inform the camp owner of this matter, and I think that in the future, the camp master will give the master the reward he deserves."
"Well said, well said!"
Coming out of the big tent, Gan Shi stroked his beard with a gloomy face and said, "If what Nanlou said is correct, I'm afraid something will happen in Liaoxi soon." ”
"Qiu Liju went to Jixian County a few years ago because of the border city, but Guo Tingshi did not agree, this year because all parties are buying grain, the price of grain in Youzhou has risen a lot compared to weekdays, except for the Wuhuan of Shanggu County with our support and does not have much impact, the other Wuhuan may not have a good time, if Taiping Dao agrees to let Wuhuan enter and loot, Qiu Liju will definitely be moved."
"But without internal response, it is impossible for Wuhuan's army to penetrate deep into Youzhou." Gan Shi's mind turned, and then he stroked his beard and said, "I heard that the Yuyang Zhang family originally relied on salt and iron animal husbandry for profit, and had a close relationship with Wuhuan. ”
"Yuyang Zhang's family? Isn't that the family of the county governor of Zhang? ”
"Well, that Zhang Ju was originally the county guard of Taishan, I saw this person when I was traveling, this person was extremely greedy, and he was eager to repay, and because he was too corrupt in office, he aroused the local strong resistance, and finally lost his post and became a laughing stock... Such a person must have a grudge against the imperial court.
This matter is not trivial, once Wuhuan raises troops, Youzhou will be eroded! We're going back right away! Gan Shi asked, "Can you leave in three days?" ”
Yan Rou lives in Wuhuan all the year round, so he naturally knows the strength of the Wuhuan cavalry, if Wuhuan really rebels, although it is impossible to erode for decades like Xiliang, it is not easy to pacify.
Thanks to the fact that all the people in Xianbei are mediocre now, and there are no heroes like Tan Shihuai, otherwise Xianbei will take the opportunity to go south, and I am afraid that Youzhou will really no longer be owned by the Han Dynasty.
"The Taoist chief underestimated a certain family, and a certain family dared to issue a military order, and became an army overnight!"
"One night?"
"One night!"
"Good! Then I'm going to have to hurry up and have some fun! Gan Shi immediately re-entered the big tent of the difficult building, listening to the laughter coming from inside, Yan Rou couldn't help but wonder what was being said here.
Yan Rou took the order of the difficult building overnight to mobilize the Shanggu Wuhuan to be strong, he was already famous in the Shanggu Wuhuan, plus the bonus of the Red Star Camp and money and grain, the response was like a cloud, and when Gan Shi got up from the two red-fruited grassland girls the next day, the two thousand Wuhuan Yicong had already gathered.
I saw two thousand knights, thousands of cattle and sheep, and a large area of black pressure gathered at the intersection, Yan Rou and Gan Shi did not bring grain and grass, so they still followed the old method of all the grassland peoples, and the cattle and sheep followed the army, thinking that they were military food.
"Battalion Commander Yan, it really became an army overnight!" Gan Shi looked at such Wuhuan cavalry, but he couldn't smile on his face.
Shanggu Wuhuan is like this, will Liaoxi Wuhuan be bad, Liaoxi can't have an accident.
