Chapter 314: The army is under the city
The villagers of Liulin Village evacuated quickly, not only quickly, but also relatively hidden.
Because of the close relationship with Yangshi County, more rafts have been made a long time ago, and not only rafts, but also have a lot of real wooden boats.
The population of Liulin Village has already increased to more than 10,000 people, and if it is another month or two, the number of people who have defected to Liulin Village from other places will definitely exceed 20,000.
This is also a selective relationship in Liulin Village, otherwise, the population of Liulin Village can definitely exceed the population of Yangshi County within half a year.
However, Liu Xian had already had some specific requirements for absorbing the people who stayed in Liulin Village.
The people who can be taken in and can become residents of Liulin Village, in addition to the residents of the original Liulin Village, as well as the people of the villages around Liangji Liulin Village. The other permanent residents of Liulin Village are mainly the relatives of those who have joined the Liu Mansion of Liulin Village, such as the relatives of the caravan escort. In addition, there are also the families of those who are more loyal to the Liu Mansion. There are also the relatives of those former Yellow Turban Army thieves in the secret camp of the Sin Army. This, according to their personal self-report, through the investigation of sending people, one is to determine their identity, and the other is to calm their hearts to bring their families, of course, this is not a hostage, so they will be consulted, if they are willing, they will be brought to Liulin Village.
In addition, like those recruited by Liu Xian, their families can naturally live in Liulin Village.
In Liu Xian's original design, the castle in Liulin Village was not too big, and it was mainly based on safety. But after thinking about it, I felt that I would definitely accept more talents in the future, and for the families of those talents, I must have a proper arrangement. Like Zhaojia Village, two or three hundred people will be arranged at this time, and if the castle in Liulin Village is too small, it may not be able to be arranged in the future.
Therefore, Liu Xian deliberately expanded the scale of the castle a lot. When the time comes, some places can be reserved in the castle and some mansions can be built, and these mansions will be reserved for those who have been given to them to live in.
Historically, Jizhou will be chaotic for many years, and if they want to develop and get more talents, then they must have a place where they can feel safe.
If you build one here, there will be more fortified cities in the future, and then let these fortified cities become one, then this will be their most solid development site.
Therefore, these villagers in Liulin Village are actually not ordinary villagers, their fate has a close relationship with Liu Xian, and everyone is both prosperous and lossy. Therefore, their respect and love for Liu Xian are all from the heart.
Here, Liu Xian not only found a way to give them abundant food, but also gave them a better job, so that they could not only see, but feel a better life for themselves. Let them all understand that if they want to live a better life and maintain their current life, then they must follow Liu Xian's orders.
Let's put it this way, Liulin Village is no longer an ordinary village and town in this ancient era. It's a forward-thinking handicraft town. Only some of the people in the town are engaged in farming, but more of them are doing some manual work.
Liu Xian also has such a plan, and in the future, he will also build a wharf by the Qingshui River and Waterfall outside this Liulin Village, so as to facilitate the use of waterways to transport goods.
The river can connect the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and can be developed for waterway navigation. Even, it is definitely necessary to develop a water army. Liu Xian didn't want to be like Cao Cao, when hundreds of thousands of troops were killed in Chibi, but because his sergeants were northerners and were not good at water, they would get seasick even when they were on a boat, and then they had to connect the warships with iron chains and then pave them with wooden planks, so that the military horses would be on the boat as if they were on the ground. As a result, it was completely burned by a fire, and the soldiers were defeated, and they had to flee in embarrassment.
Cao Cao, who could have unified the Han world early, lost the best opportunity to unify the Han Dynasty. Later, in Liu Xian's army, landlubbers were not allowed to exist.
The villagers of Liulin Village had already taken those rafts and wooden boats directly through the reeds in the river bay to Yangshi County.
Among them, Zhao Yun's elder brother Zhao Jun organized the young men of his Zhaojia Village and wanted to stay and fight with Liu Xian, but Liu Xian persuaded him away.
Liu Xian didn't want to take this risk, in case something happened to him, it would be difficult to explain to Zhao Yun in the future. In order to ensure his safety, Liu Xian also deliberately found Zhao's sister-in-law to talk to her, asking her to look at Zhao Jun and not let him participate in the battle to defend the city in Yangshi County.
Although Zhao Jun has a certain amount of martial arts, even if he is much worse than Wang Bao, on the battlefield, he really does not have the strength to protect himself.
For this reason, Liu Xian also had to arrange a few soldiers from the secret camp to keep an eye on him, in case Zhao Jun did not listen to the persuasion and had to go to the city to participate in the battle.
This time, the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army is attacking, and Liu Wei already has the certainty of victory, so there is no need to let some possible accidents happen.
Zhao Jun's fate should have been killed by the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Thieves, and Liu Xian moved all the people in Zhaojia Village in one go, which is equivalent to changing Zhao Jun's fate. It can be said that in order to get Zhao Yun in the future, Liu Xian did invest a lot of money.
After the villagers of Liulin Village left, the whole Liulin Village seemed a little quiet, but there was still the movement of chickens and dogs.
Liu Xian ordered the villagers to leave, but the villagers' property or anything would not be taken away.
Some things are gone, and as long as there are people, then there will be everything in the future. What's more, this time Liu Xian will not let those Montenegrin Yellow Turban troops really have a chance to enter the village to wreak havoc, Liu Xian will defeat them outside the village.
In the square outside the gate of Liufu in Liulin Village, more than 2,500 people and horses were neatly arrayed, and there were many knives and guns.
In addition, on the side, there was a cavalry of about three hundred people.
The horses that Liu Xian got back from Youzhou this time are all good horses that can be used as war horses. Therefore, this can temporarily form a cavalry of 300 men. The only pity is that this cavalry has not been trained much, so the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is in doubt. But it doesn't matter, at least you can put it out and scare people.
Liu Xian stood in front of the gate.
"Brothers, you all know the matter. This time, it is a crisis in our Yangshi County and Liulin Village. If you say anything superfluous, I don't have much to say, I believe you all have a deep understanding that our days today are not easy to come by. If there are thieves who want to rob us of our wealth and kill our relatives, then we have to fight them. ”
"You have also seen that in this Liulin Village, the villagers have been sent to Yangshi County. However, all the money and food here are still here. These are the food for the lives of our loved ones. I hope everyone can defend it with their lives. ”
Liu Xianzuo made the final pre-war mobilization, hoping to boost their morale and let them not be afraid.
Most of these horses were peasants, especially the guards who had only been recruited into the caravan later, and they had not been trained much, and when it came time to actually tear them apart, they would inevitably be a little frightened.
However, depending on the situation, they are not too frightened, at least they have a desperate attitude.
"Defend Liulin Village! Kill the thief! ”
Led by some of the captains, they all burst out with roars.
It is also true that they were originally ordinary people who were about to starve to death, and it was Liu Xian who gave them food to live. Now don't say that they want to fight hard with those yellow turban thieves for Liu Xian and Liu Fu, but for their own sake, they will fight hard with the yellow turban thieves.
Liu Xian saw that his morale was available, so he didn't say anything more, and let them stay in the village to rest first. Be ready to strike at any time.
This can actually be regarded as a substitute for work.
The Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army has not come now, and when they have gone through a long march and killed the city of Yang's County, and then sent people to loot Yang's County, the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army at that time was already a tired army.
Among the main forces of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro are their big leaders Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan. There are also a number of Yellow Turban leaders.
They are also determined to succeed in this action of going out of the mountains and plundering.
As for the vanguard army, it was led by the city of Shuailuo of the Yellow Turban Qu.
Luo City is one of the Yellow Turban leaders of the original Yellow Turban Thirty-six Parties. In fact, many Yellow Turban Commanders have long been killed and have been replaced by others.
But there are still a lot of survivors, and the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai who can survive the big battles is a capable person.
This Luo City, he survived the battle with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, he is already a second-rate general, and his first-hand pistol skills make him superb.
But it's a pity that he is not from Jizhou, he escaped from Yuzhou, and when he defected to the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro, there were only hundreds of people around him.
This point of men and horses is nothing in the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro, it can be said that it is difficult to occupy even a small hill. There was no way, so he had no choice but to serve Zhang Niujiao and became Zhang Niujiao's right-hand man.
It is precisely because Luo Shi has a lot of combat experience with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and his nose is also very smart, he can smell whether there is a dangerous smell. It is precisely because of this instinct that he can escape under the encirclement and interception of the officers and soldiers after being defeated by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.
This time, as the commander of the vanguard army, he did a good job, and as soon as he came out of the mountains, he found the best route of march, which could avoid some towns and towns, and prevent the officers and soldiers of those towns from discovering their men.
Tens of thousands of men and horses marched, generally speaking, it was difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of the officers and soldiers, but under the leadership of Luo Shi, he was not discovered by those officers and soldiers along the road, which shows his ability.
Seriously, if Liu Xian hoped that the officers and soldiers of the imperial court would come to save his Yang County and Liulin Village, then he would really be waiting for death.
After receiving the secret report, I reported it to the government above, and the government above did not have time to send military horses to support Yangshi County and Liulin Village.
This ancient era is not a later generation, there are no telephones and radios or anything, and if you want to report the news, you have to rely on two legs. What's more, even if they could report the news and intelligence to those officers and soldiers, they couldn't find the Yellow Turban Army that sneaked into Yangshi County.
According to Liu Xian's estimate, if the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro had marched for two days, it would have been best when they arrived in Yangshi County in the afternoon and evening. But unfortunately, when the Yellow Turban Vanguard Army arrived in Yangshi County, it was noon.
The distance between the vanguard army and the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro is not too far, only about ten miles.
According to Zhang Niujiao's plan, they planned to take advantage of the unpreparedness of Yangshi County, so that the vanguard army of Luo City suddenly killed Yangshi County in a rush attack, and directly entered the city first, and then their army hurried to control the whole city and launch a raid. At the same time, a detachment of men and horses can be divided to raid Liulin Village.
In their plan, Liulin Village is incidental, not the focus of looting. If it weren't for the fact that Liulin Village's Liu Mansion is now famous, and they do know that Liulin Village also has a certain amount of food, they may not think about doing anything to Liulin Village again. After all, this has to cross the river, which is a bit troublesome.
Liulin Village is not guarded by a city wall, so Zhang Niujiao did ignore the danger of Liulin Village.
At this time, Wen Shen, Wang Bao, Zhang Ning, Huang Wudie, Huang Xu, and so on all arrived at the city gate tower in the west of Yangshi County.
Among them are some of the Dub, the captain, the tun chief, and so on.
Not long ago, the scouts sent out to keep an eye on the outside had discovered the traces of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army and had returned in time to report. Upon learning of the news that the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro was still coming, Wen Shen immediately ordered all the city gates in Yangshi County to be closed, and the defenders of the city mounted on the top of the city and waited for it.
The Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army came from the west, and it would not threaten the other city gates for the time being, and everyone came here to observe the reality of the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army.
