Chapter 20: Kingdom Rebellion
After Wang Kai received the military order from Liangzhou Assassin Shi Geng, he was really in a dilemma, because he also thought that the soldiers and horses of the six counties of Liangzhou alone were not enough to shake Han Sui's 100,000 army.
Despite this, Wang Kai can't blatantly disobey, otherwise he will be equivalent to a rebel.
Wang Kai, who couldn't disobey, had to let Qin Qiong order the only 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command and prepare to go to join the Liangzhou Assassin Shi Geng.
In 187 A.D., that is, in the fourth year of Zhongping, Geng Wei gathered more than 50,000 soldiers from the six counties of Zuo Fengxu, Jing Zhaoyin, Right Fufeng, Hanyang County, Wudu County and Longxi County to assemble in Ji County, Hanyang County.
Among the six counties, except for the Taishou of Longxi County, who defected to Han Sui, the remaining five Taishou all rushed to Ji County with their troops.
After the soldiers and horses of the six counties were assembled, Geng Contempt immediately convened five Taishou to discuss the matter.
After Fu Xie, the Taishou of Hanyang County, Wang Kai, the Taishou of Wudu County, Zuo Feng Xuchaokun, Jingzhao Yin Gongming, and Youfufeng Ma Sheng arrived and sat down, Geng Wei immediately said: "Everyone, although Han Sui has more than 100,000 soldiers, nearly half of them are the old troops of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou. ”
After hearing Geng's words, Zhi Zhongqiu immediately echoed it.
And Fu Xie came out again at this time to dissuade him: "Geng Assassin Shi, Han Sui's power cannot be underestimated, and the lower officials still feel that they should wait for the imperial court to mobilize reinforcements before sending troops." ”
Seeing Fu Xie obstructing himself again and again, Geng Yi suddenly replied unhappily: "Since Fu Taishou is so desperate, then you should stay in Hanyang County!" After Fu Xie heard this, he was suddenly speechless.
Immediately, Fu Xie turned his head and left.
After Fu Xie left, Geng Yan asked the other four Taishou: "Do you also think what Fu Taishou said is correct?" ”
Chao Kun, Ma Sheng, and Gong Ming were directly under the jurisdiction of Geng Wei because they belonged to the Sanfu region, so they did not speak.
And Wang Kai thought for a while and immediately came out and said: "Geng Assassin Shi, the lower officials also feel that what Fu Taishou said is reasonable, since Han Sui dared to murder Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou and accept their soldiers, it means that Han Sui should have a perfect strategy so that these Qiang soldiers will not rebel, and it is better for me to wait for the imperial court reinforcements to arrive before sending troops." ”
After hearing Wang Kai's words, Geng Yan suddenly said angrily: "Wang Kai, it's not your turn to speak here, don't think that there is no one in your eyes just because you are the general of Huangfu, you only have 3,000 soldiers under your command, more than you, less than you, since you are also greedy for life and afraid of death, then follow Fu Taishou to guard Hanyang County." ”
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Wang Kai immediately confessed and left the place where the discussion was held.
Then, Geng Yi immediately led the soldiers of Jingzhao County, Fengxu County, Fufeng County and Longxi County to march towards the Han Sui Department of Longxi County overnight.
During the march, the mid-range ball under Geng Contempt's command swallowed all the soldiers' military rations because of greed for money.
The soldiers complained that they could not receive food, but Geng Cong did not care in the slightest.
Although Chao Kun, Gong Ming and Ma Sheng, the three Taishou, were also resentful of Cheng Qiu's actions, Cheng Qiu was Geng's confidant after all, and they were not easy to slander, which led to the decline of the army's morale.
When the army came to Di Dao, the administrative seat of Longxi County, the Di Dao Kingdom in the official army couldn't stand Cheng Qiu's corruption and the blindness of Geng Cong, Chao Kun, Ma Sheng, and Gong Ming, so he immediately organized a group of henchmen to launch a mutiny.
In the mutiny, Geng Wei, Cheng Qiu, Chao Kun, Ma Sheng and Gong Ming all died.
After killing several high-ranking officials in Liangzhou, the kingdom had no choice but to surrender to the rebel leader Han Sui.
After Han Sui learned that the kingdom had killed several of the officials of Liangzhou, he accepted the kingdom's surrender, and Han Sui also served the kingdom as his commander.
After the rebel forces swelled again, the kingdom and Han Sui sent troops to march towards Hanyang County at the same time.
At the same time, Geng's subordinate army Sima Ma Teng led his headquarters to break through and retreat towards Hanyang County when the kingdom rebelled.
After Ma Teng withdrew to Hanyang County, he immediately met Fu Xie.
After Fu Xie saw Ma Teng's disgraced appearance, he immediately asked, "Ma Shoucheng, why did you become like this?" ”
Ma Teng immediately replied: "Fu Taishou, the Didao Kingdom launched a rebellion, Geng Tingshi, Chao Taishou and several other adults were all killed, and I led my troops to fight hard to break out of the siege and pass on the military information to Fu Taishou." ”
"What?"
Suddenly hearing the bad news from Ma Teng, Fu Xie suddenly became a little dizzy, because Geng Wei had basically transferred all the troops in Liangzhou, if all these soldiers defected to the rebels, then Liangzhou would be completely lost.
Slowed down. Fu Xie said to Ma Teng: "Ma Shoucheng, you and lead the people of your headquarters to stay in Ji County, and you must not let the rebels step into the Sanfu area." Ma Teng immediately took the order and left.
Immediately after, Fu Xie sent someone to contact Wang Kai, the Taishou of Wudu County.
After Wang Kai learned that Fu Xie was looking for him, he immediately followed the messenger to Fu Xie's face.
When Fu Xie saw Wang Kai, he immediately said to him: "Wang Taishou, something happened in Liangzhou, I want to ask you to lead your troops to Luoyang City to ask Your Majesty for reinforcements." ”
Suddenly hearing this, Wang Kai asked suspiciously, "Fu Taishou, what do you mean by this?" ”
"It's not a secret, just now Sima Ma Teng, the army under the command of Geng Tingshi, came to report that Geng Tingshi's army encountered a mutiny, and now these soldiers are only afraid that they have all defected to the rebels, if there are no reinforcements coming, I am afraid that Liangzhou will be completely reduced to the land of rebels."
"What? How could such a thing happen? ”
"Wang Taishou, without further ado, please quickly rate the army to leave Ji County and rush to Luoyang City to ask for reinforcements."
"Fu Taishou, what should you do?"
Fu Xie replied with the determination to die: "Since I eat Hanlu, I want to be loyal to the king, and I plan to defend Ji County to the death." ”
"Fu Taishou, with the strength in your hands, you can't hold it for long, why don't you evacuate with me?"
"Wang Taishou, if I evacuate with you, the rebel cavalry will soon catch up, and at that time, you and I will not be able to accurately report the recent situation in Liangzhou to the imperial court."
Seeing Fu Xie say this, Wang Kai immediately guessed Fu Xie's thoughts, Fu Xie planned to sacrifice himself to fulfill him Wang Kai.
Wang Kai was in a dilemma for a long time and finally spoke: "Fu Taishou, there is a fierce general named Qin Qiong under my command, it should be more suitable for me to guard Ji County than Fu Taishou, and Fu Taishou should evacuate first." ”
"Wang Taishou, you don't have to fight, stay in Ji County for nine deaths, you are the disciple of General Huangfu, and the world will still need you young people to protect in the future, you better quickly reorganize the army and evacuate Ji County."
Seeing that Fu Xie had already said this, Wang Kai had no choice but to agree and said: "Fu Taishou, you only need to hold on to the city for seven days, and after seven days, you can abandon the city and evacuate." ”
"Wang Taishou doesn't have to worry too much, my Fu Xie has his own measure."
Subsequently, Wang Kai immediately asked Qin Qiong to order all the 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command and left Ji County.
As soon as Wang Kai left, the rebel cavalry swarmed and rushed to the city of Jixian.
