Chapter 376: Taishan Yellow Turban Army

Next, dozens of officials from the top and bottom of the Beihai County Government all took action.

Under Liu Jie's authorization, Liu Xian temporarily replaced Liu Jie, the county guard, to exercise power.

Among these big and small officials, in fact, many of them are not very good with Liu Jie, Liu Xian is in office, not to mention the entire Beihai, even in his county guard, he has not been able to fully control his own hands. If he had called the shots, there might have been many people who would have objected. But now that Liu Xian is issuing orders instead of Liu Jie, those officials dare not slack off.

There is no way, Liu Jie has already made it clear that Liu Xian has full authority to execute this time to deal with the Yellow Turban Army. And Liu Xian is the son-in-law of Lord Kong Rong, and now he is standing by Liu Xian's side, ordinary officials and officials, at least they have to give face to Kong Rong.

But the most important thing is that Liu Xian himself has a good deed, as long as you have heard of Liu Xian, you know Liu Xian's ability, even 50,000 Yellow Turban Army can defeat people. This is a manifestation of strength and ability, so it can convince the public.

There are many preparations to be made, such as issuing notices, forming a reserve army for defending the city in Beihai, maintaining stability after the announcement of these news, placing martial law in the city, preparing to collect materials for defending the city, and managing logistics......

Liu Xian arranged every matter according to the positions of the officials of the Beihai County Government, and Liu Xian demanded that their work must be done properly, and if they were slack and caused problems, then they would be held accountable. When the time comes, they will be punished as they should be, even if they are asked, it is not strange, and they will never tell them anything at that time.

The military commander Zheng Qing was full of enthusiasm and immediately went to recruit his men and horses and mobilize officers and soldiers to impose martial law in the whole city.

In fact, Liu Xian asked Beihai City to do these actions, not expecting Beihai City to help defeat the Taishan Yellow Turban Army, Liu Xian was taking the opportunity to show his existence in Beihai and take the opportunity to integrate the entire Beihai to a certain extent. Liu Xian hopes that after this incident in Beihai, his reputation among the Beihai government and the people can reach a certain level.

If you really want to defeat the attacking Taishan Yellow Turban Army, you have to rely on your own caravan escort.

After Liu Xian ordered everyone to act, Liu Xian was invited by Liu Jie to live directly in Beihai County Mansion. After all, this is the best way to command this battle, without Liu Xian's presence, Liu Jie really doesn't know how to deal with some emergencies.

In this way, Kong Rong went back to Confucius's Mansion first.

Of course, Liu Xian also talked to Kong Rong, this time to make such a big move, to recruit all the young and strong people in the city, it will definitely need a lot of money and food as military expenses. In this regard, Kong Rong promised to fully fund Liu Xian.

After all, this is also related to the security of the Confucian Mansion in Beihai, and this time to fund Liu Xian, in fact, dare to improve Kong Rong's status in Beihai by the way. If everything goes well, after this incident, Liu Xian's reputation in Beihai will definitely be extremely high, but Liu Xian will not stay in Beihai for a long time after all, so when Liu Xian is not there, Kong Rong's reputation in Beihai must be the highest, even if it is the county guard Liu Jie, it will not be as good as Kong Rong's status in Beihai.

In addition, Liu Xian did not tell them that after the young and strong people of Beihai City were recruited into an army this time, they would not be disbanded in the future, and when the time came, Liu Xian would select the stronger men among them to form a long-term garrison. This garrison army is not counted as the establishment of the government, but an army that Liu Xian has stocked in Beihai. Of course, all the future use of this army will definitely need Liu Xian's funding.

When it got dark, Huang Zhong received Liu Xian's order and instructions, and had already met with Sima Zhengqing of the Beihai Navy to arrange the affairs of the officers and soldiers of the Beihai. Moreover, all the Liu Fu caravans outside the city have been moved into the city, and the camp of the Liu Fu caravan outside the city naturally has to be demolished. In addition, an escort team of the Liu Fu caravan was also mobilized, which took over the defense of the north of Beihai City and officially entered Beihai.

Under normal circumstances, the general government will not easily hand over the defense of a certain gate of the city to others. But now Liu Jiedu and Liu Xianyan obeyed the plan, and did not care about these power issues at all.

Huang Zhong also explained these things, he didn't have to do it himself, and he came to see Liu Xian immediately after he finished.

"Lord, is there really a Taishan Yellow Turban Army attacking?"

Huang Zhong asked this first after coming to see Liu Xian.

"Chances are, this is the right time. Anyway, since it came across it, it was an opportunity. Let's start this time, we want to start the prestige of our Liu Mansion caravan, so let's let the people in the dark camp spread out, and we must grasp the situation of the Taishan Yellow Turban Army in time, at least, now we don't know anything about them, we have to find out their situation first. At that time, it will only be the men and horses of our Liu Mansion caravan who will really fight, and we will know ourselves and our opponents first. ”

"Then do it right away?"

"yes, let's get these things done first. Other than that...... However, you don't need to come forward, if there are really some guys in Beihai City who dare to disobey, then let them see the strength of the bow and arrow of our Liu Mansion caravan. ”

Liu Xian thought about it, and there was nothing to do, so he asked Huang Zhong to send someone to find out the situation of the Yellow Turban Army in Taishan.

That night, Liu Xian stayed in Beihai County Mansion. Liu Jie had a heart, and actually arranged two beautiful maids for Liu Xian to serve him, but now is not the time for Liu Xian to be romantic, and he doesn't have this intention, so he sternly refused, and made a rare Liu Xia Hui. But it caused two girls to have a lot of resentment.

……

Guan Hai led the remnants of the Yellow Turban to escape to Mount Tai a few years ago, and finally escaped from the encirclement and interception of the official army. Since then, he has been busy collecting the Yellow Turban Army from all over the country that has fled.

The Taishan Mountain Range is indeed an excellent hiding place, and as long as they occupy some dangerous peaks, set up camp on the peaks, and build fortresses, it will be very difficult for officers and men to attack them.

However, the situation encountered by Guan Hai in Taishan was somewhat different from that of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro. He found that even if he had a lot of soldiers and horses, he could not really eat in the Taishan Mountains.

In addition to the main peak, Mount Tai's mountains extend out, and many of the surrounding geographical locations are better, and the more precipitous mountains are basically occupied by Mount Tai bandits. If Guan Hai wants to gain a suitable foothold on the mountain, he must also defeat those bandits.

The Yellow Turban Army was once extremely powerful, but the Taishan thieves did not belong to the Yellow Turban Army, they occupied the mountain as the king, and no one could control their heads. Moreover, they are undisciplined, and no matter who you are, no one's account will be sold.

The Yellow Turban soldiers are numerous, but in terms of combat effectiveness alone, they are by no means the opponents of those Taishan thieves who have been thieves in the mountains all year round. In the competition for the mountain territory with some of the Taishan thieves, Guan Hai's men and horses suffered a lot of losses.

The remnants of the Yellow Turbans are naturally not all gathered together, and the tribes scattered in the Taishan Mountains were once beaten by the Taishan thieves and could not find the north.

Fortunately, if the Tarzan thieves were not necessary, they would not fight to the death with their Yellow Turban Army. Later, Guan Hai met Taishan's famous Taishan thief Zangba. Zang Ba was faintly the head of the thieves in Mount Tai, Guan Hai and Zang Ba negotiated, and finally reached an agreement to give up some territory to Guan Hai's Yellow Turban Army, so that Guan Hai could be regarded as gaining a foothold in Mount Tai.

But what made Guan Hai anxious was that as the remnants of the Yellow Turban came to take refuge one after another, Guan Hai simply didn't have so much food to feed so many military horses.

There is a shortage of all kinds of materials in the mountains, and it is impossible to get the necessary daily necessities without leaving the mountains.

Their Yellow Turban Army is not familiar with the place, so naturally it is impossible for them to live so well with those Taishan thieves in the Taishan area.

In this way, he finally gained a foothold, and reluctantly integrated most of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and he immediately faced the same dilemma as the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro, and he ran out of food.

At the beginning, the Yellow Turbans could also make some deals with the Tarzan thieves and buy some surplus grain from the Tarzan thieves. After all, the Yellow Turban Army plundered a lot of money, and the money in their hands could not be spent, but it was still possible to exchange the money they looted with the Tarzan thieves for food.

But there are 400,000 or 500,000 people in charge of Haihai, and the Taishan thieves don't have so much food to supply them. Therefore, there was no way, Guan Hai could only order the subordinates below to let them go out of the mountains to grab food.

The Taishan Mountains, spanning hundreds of miles, are distributed everywhere, and it is extremely difficult to achieve effective unified command. In this way, if they need to go out of the mountains and plunder, there are many situations that Guan Hai does not know.

As Liu Xian had predicted, Beihai was located northeast of Mount Tai, and was actually a little far from the main area of activity of the Yellow Turban Army. The main force of the Yellow Turban Army of Guan Hai's department should be in the western part of Mount Tai, mainly facing the threat of the imperial officers and soldiers on the Jinan side.

In other words, what is happening here, the Taishan Yellow Turban Army will not know so quickly. Liu Xian believes that the Taishan Yellow Turban Army that came this time may not have any reinforcements.

And that's exactly what happened.

In order to alleviate his pressure, Guan Hai deliberately let the Yellow Turban tribes below go to all parts of Mount Tai to occupy the mountain as the king, this time the Taishan Yellow Turban Army that invaded Beihai was the personal behavior of a Yellow Turban leader. In other words, he united a number of Yellow Turban Army, with a total of 30,000 or 40,000 horses, and went out of the mountains to loot food and other materials.

This leader of the Yellow Turbans is not the original commander of the 36th Party of the Yellow Turbans, but with his martial bravery, there are more than 10,000 Yellow Turban troops in his hands.

This Yellow Turban leader's surname is Gong Mingkuang, an unknown Yellow Turban general, but he has the strength of a second-rate general.

Together with the rest of the Yellow Turban tribes who were sent to the northern area of Mount Tai by Guan Hai, after being contacted by Gong Kuang, they sent troops together.

Except for a few men and horses who were left in the mountains to guard their cottage, they almost poured out.

Gong Kuang has a dog-headed military advisor named Bai Yu, who has a bad stomach. At the beginning, he first imitated some of the practices of the Taishan thieves, and suggested that he should send a letter to the government of Beihai County first, and let them take the initiative to send them some food. No way, they hadn't had a full meal for a long time at that time, and the yellow turbans below were listless one by one, and at that time, it was impossible to really attack the city.

In fact, at this time, the Taishan Yellow Turban Army looked ragged, similar to a beggar army. Such a military horse, it is not convincing to pull it out, let alone a war.

After receiving some of the food and supplies sent by the government, they recuperated for a while, and then felt that the time was ripe, so they deliberately increased the amount of money and food they asked, and found an excuse to attack some county seats.

In fact, for Gong Kuang's Yellow Turban Army, their operation was quite successful, plundering several county towns, and the materials obtained were enough for them to last for a while. In fact, they also plan to go back to the mountains for a while.

However, the people's hearts were not enough to swallow the elephant, and they found that the situation in Beihai County was somewhat special, and the officials seemed to be extremely afraid of them, and they attacked several county towns, but basically did not encounter any decent resistance, and as for the officers and soldiers of the official government, they did not know where to flee for a long time.

For this reason, they feel that it is possible to continue to expand the results of the war?

Really, if they can gain a foothold in the city, who wants to go back to the mountains and drill the forest? It's relatively safe in the mountains, but it's really too boring to live that day.

In this way, some of the leaders of the Yellow Turbans of the united tribes asked whether they could occupy some towns without going back to the mountains.

But in ordinary towns, the walls are not strong, and they are too easy to breach, and even if they occupy them, they are unlikely to last long. Once the officers and soldiers mobilized men and horses to kill, then they could only flee for their lives and flee back to the mountains. Then be bolder, someone set their sights on Beihai County.
