Chapter 73: Reverse Siege and Reinforcements

After getting off the ship at the Jixian wharf, they spent half a day unloading, loading, counting the people, and delivering the troops.

During this period, it is inevitable to deal with the courtesy exchanges between the state pastor and officials at all levels, the formal reward for meritorious deeds, and the formalities of the workplace.

It was not them who were the busiest, but the Mi family's merchant fleet—after unloading a full 9,000 men, the hundreds of sailors of the fleet, and more than a thousand Wuhuan horses, as well as other goods to be procured in the north, and supplies for the return trip, could be busy all night.

However, the Mi family's wages are also sufficient, and 007 has someone to do.

It wasn't until late that night that Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others had time to sit down and have a few jars with Li Su Guan Yu.

And when they sat down, their official positions were also different from yesterday - after the afternoon handover, Liu Yu quickly adjusted the official positions of almost all of them, and Li Su suspected that the relevant appointment letters were prepared in advance.

It can only be said that in Jixian County, everything is efficient. With a few words of instructions from the leader, multiple departments will immediately work together, and all procedures will only need to be run once.

Liu Bei, the civil rank of 600 Shi Liangxiang County Order remains unchanged, but the Zhuo County Governor of the martial arts rank of 1000 Shi has just been added.

Guan Yu, the military rank of 600 stone Zuoyamen Governor, is subordinate to the Zhuojun Governor, that is, Liu Bei's "Executive Deputy Military Sima" (the Han Dynasty's military position is easier to accumulate than the number of civilian stones, but the actual authority of the same number of stone civil officials is much greater)

Zhang Fei, in the past few months, has also accumulated some small merits with Liu Bei in a series of Yanshan defensive battles, from the rank of 300 Shi Liangxiang County Lieutenant to the other division of Sima who is more than 600 Shi, also subordinate to the Zhuo County Governor. That is, there is one less tooth gate governor than Guan Yu, so there are more "than" on Yulu.

Zhao Yun, when he first came to Zhuo County, was only Qu Junhou, and now he has replaced Zhang Fei's vacancy, the county lieutenant of 300 stones.

Zhou Tai was also the Marquis of Qu Jun when he came.

But Li Su promised him the post of county lieutenant, and he brought 1,000 soldiers from Jiujiang townspeople. After Liu Yu inspected it just afternoon, he felt that the more troubled soldiers there were, the better, and the quality of Zhou Tai's soldiers was barely reliable, so he picked another vacant county lieutenant in Zhuo County and gave it to Zhou Tai.

In peacetime, the county lieutenant of Fangcheng should obey the order of Fangcheng County. But now that it is wartime, the county lieutenants of all counties in the entire county must obey the unified command of the county lieutenants, so this does not affect Liu Bei's control of Zhou Tai.

In contrast, Dian Wei, whose military qualifications were not lower than Zhou Tai's, could only continue to stabilize him as the Marquis of Qu Jun and Li Su who privately gave him 300 stones. This can't be helped, who let him not have the part he pulled up and can't enjoy the treatment of "bringing money into the group".

But this is also beneficial, after Liu Bei knew the situation, he politely asked Dian Wei to follow Li Su directly, which was considered a private ministry.

It makes sense who pays wages to whom.

In the end, the two civil officials brought back by Li Su, Lu Su Jigong was officially awarded Liangxiang County Cheng, with a rank of 300 stones.

The previous Longtao County Cheng Qijing was called separately.

Liu Ye was personally left by Liu Yu to be a Gong Cao Shuzuo, with a rank of 300 stones, which is equivalent to a clerical official around the state pastor.

Only Li Su himself did not have an additional promotion, but only taught him the "Youzhou Don't Drive" that he "watched" before he went on the road, which can be regarded as a regular probationary period.

However, the level of official position should not only depend on the number of grades, but also on whether the authority is confidential.

Considering that Bejia is often actually responsible for the diplomatic envoy of the state minister, it is not bad. From then on, Liu Yu would probably ask Li Su to help him with any strategies that would be crossed. It is equivalent to the importance of Zhang Song to Liu Zhang later.

……

After a round of drinking, Li Su and Guan Yu had time to ask about the current military situation. And what new emergencies have occurred in the more than a month that they have not been able to communicate.

Liu Bei put down his wine glass and took the lead in explaining: "That was more than 20 days ago - at that time, Liu Yuanjun was still on the way to take office, and Tao Qian and Senior Brother Bogui also had to take their subordinates and were officially transferred from Youzhou by the imperial court to Liangzhou.

In fact, the imperial court's order originally required them to settle and set off in early May, and Tao Qian also took the first step. However, Brother Bogui took thousands of Wuhuan Tuqi, a vassal state of Liaodong who was ordered to go to Liangzhou to change the defense, and he kept procrastinating and unwilling to leave his homeland.

Brother Bogui had already been very careful to appease, and almost allowed Qiu Liju, the leader of the group of Wuhuan people, to delay the trip at will, and set off from Liaodong at the end of April, but it took a month to reach the junction of Liaoxi County and Youbeiping.

Unexpectedly, not long after entering the Great Wall of Western Liaoning, Naqiu Liju suddenly led his troops to mutiny. Fortunately, Brother Bogui was always vigilant, but he was not victimized, and broke through with his own soldiers, and rushed into Guanzi City nearby to defend it, but he was also besieged in the city and couldn't move, and he had been besieged for more than half a month, and now the current situation is unknown.

Later, I heard that a traitor named Zhang Ju instigated and colluded with Qiu Liju to provide defense information in various parts of western Liaoning, so that Qiu Liju picked the weakest opportunity to act.

That Zhang Ju was the former Taishan County Guard - alas, we exposed Zhang Chun at the beginning, and now another Zhang Ju has emerged, and they are all high-ranking officials at the level of Taishou, so deeply favored by the country, they all betrayed the court! also led the Hu people into the customs! This Zhang Ju seems to have been in contact with Zhang Chun, but it has not been exposed before! ”

When Liu Bei said this, he was quite indignant, and the wine was a little high, and he angrily scolded the two traitors of the Zhang family.

When Guan Yu heard this, he was already a little surprised, but Li Su was a little mentally prepared.

Zhang Chun Zhang Ju rebelled, and at this moment, it finally evolved into a complete body!

Li Su knew the history, and this rebellion should have been launched by these two former Taishou in collusion with foreign clans.

It's just that at the beginning of Li Su's crossing, he and Liu Bei were in Zhongshan and under Zhang Chun, so they could only take the lead in denunishing Zhang Chun.

After Zhang Chun was forced to start an incident in advance without adequate preparation, Li Su once thought that history had been changed and the scale of the rebellion was at least half smaller than the original.

In addition, he had no reason to report Zhang Ju again, and secondly, he had no information about Zhang Ju, so he didn't take any risks-

When Li Su rose, Zhang Ju had already stepped down and was no longer the county guard of Taishan, and his whereabouts were unknown. Li Su can't pretend to be a magic stick to expose a person whose whereabouts are unknown, and he will also rebel, right?

Even if the people of the Han Dynasty don't know how to study Li Su, no one will believe him.

Unexpectedly, this Zhang Ju was also really resilient, and he actually lurked among the Wuhuan people in Liaodong who had not yet rebelled, continued to make preparations, sow discord, and finally succeeded in the incident two and a half months after the old accomplice Zhang Chun started the incident.

In ancient times, the transmission of information was slow, and a large-scale rebellion could only be launched at the same time in various places unless it was agreed with Zhang Jiao to "be in Jiazi".

As for Zhang Jiao, because Tang Zhou's denunciation disrupted the rhythm, there was also a time difference of one or two months in various places.

Therefore, Li Su's attack and disturbance of the Chunju Rebellion is equivalent to Tang Zhou's disturbance of Zhang Jiao at best, and it can only go so far. It is only necessary to give the officers and troops some more time to contain and break through each other, so that the harm of the rebellion will be at least three or four percent weaker than that of the same period in history.

In addition, the Wuhuan of Youzhou has always been roughly divided into two forces.

The west is mainly in Shanggu and Yuyang County, called Shanggu Wuhuan, and the imperial court mainly uses the captain of Wuhuan stationed in Yuyang to soothe and deter.

In the east, in the Liaodong vassal country and Liaoxi County, the right Beiping, called Liaodong Wuhuan, the imperial court relied on the Liao general stationed in the Liaodong vassal country.

It is not surprising that they do not belong to each other, and that they are fighting their own battles on the issue of rebellion. Zhang Chun hooked up with the former share, and Zhang Ju is now hooking up with the latter share.

In addition, I still have to condemn the general He Jin: In the case that Western Wuhuan has rebelled, He Jin still insists on transferring Eastern Wuhuan, which has not rebelled at that time, from Youzhou, this mediocre decision is responsible for the expansion of the rebellion in this world.

Because it's the last spark that ignites the powder keg. Maybe Zhang Ju had been persuading Qiu Liju for a long time, but Qiu Liju couldn't make up his mind to pull the flag for a long time because he felt that "there is still hope to stay in his hometown and not fight".

He Jin's forcible order to Gongsun Chan directly ignited the powder keg of this chain of suspicion.

Of course, He Jin and Yuan Shao are not omniscient and omnipotent, and they also have their own difficulties. This is equivalent to having gunpowder in both warehouses, and the west warehouse is already on fire and is being rescued, at this time normal people will think of moving the combustibles in the east warehouse to a safe place to avoid spreading.

It's just that the Wuhuan people are not thoughtless gunpowder, they don't move or blow up, they blow up as soon as they move.

……

After figuring out why there was a second wave, and a much larger rebellion, Guan Yu and Li Su immediately became very eager to know the current military situation.

"Big brother, what is the progress of the battle with the Wuhuan people now? It's okay for us to guard Yanshan here, right? Guan Yu asked eagerly.

Liu Bei sighed and shook his head: "Yanshan is no problem here, with Captain Zou leading so many elite soldiers and strong generals with us, how can it be broken through?" But the problem now is that it's useless to stick to Yanshan-

The Guanzi City in western Liaoning is located within the Great Wall. In other words, Qiu Liju had always been in good disguise with Brother Bogui, and only after his elite rode into the Great Wall did he suddenly attack. Now that the Great Wall of western Liaoning has been breached, Yanshan is not important.

Even if you were lucky, on the way from Canshui by sea boat, you didn't run into Zhang Ju and Qiu Liju, who were plundering southward—ten days before you arrived, Zhang Ju had already taken thousands of horsemen and more coerced followers to the south along the coast to plunder.

I heard that he bypassed the county seat and only plundered the countryside, and now he should have plundered the territory of Bohai County. And there are more and more enemy reinforcements, those Hu people saw that Zhang Ju was very fat in looting, and even the Xianbei people joined in to do it with Zhang Ju, and there were some miscellaneous miscellaneous beards, which were not clear for a while. ”

When Li Su and Guan Yu heard this, their brows were deeply locked.

This style of play, Li Su is not strange at all, because as long as the nomads break through the Yanshan Mountain and the Great Wall and enter the Guannei, they are very mobile on the Hebei Plain.

Just like the Yuan and Qing dynasties broke through the defense lines of the Song and Ming dynasties and hit the grass valley and hit Shandong.

Zhang Ju led the way for the Hu people, bypassing Jiancheng and only caring about robbery, no wonder it was able to erode to Bohai County all at once. Even if the imperial court has more troops than him, because the Han army is not like the Hu people's full cavalry, its mobility is poor, and it cannot catch up if it wants to encircle and suppress it in the field.

After Li Su thought about the current situation clearly, a lot of chaotic similar historical examples appeared in his mind, but he didn't know how to learn from them for a while.

He calmed down for a moment, and decided to ask again, maybe it would be enlightening: "Then does the envoy have a strategy now?" How is he going to defend it? ”

Liu Bei touched his beard and sighed: "It's still inconclusive, I think the envoy hasn't given up on surrendering and appeasing, so that these new people who have not rebelled for a long time can pull back some of them." However, since ancient times, if you seek peace with weakness, you will not be able to make peace, and if you want to force one part of the enemy army to surrender, you must at least have a big victory to deter the rest.

Now the rebels under the city of Guanzi in Liaoxi County are gathering more and more, but the Hu people will not build siege equipment, so even if there are ten times as many people, they will not be able to capture Brother Bogui's city for a while, so they choose to besiege and try to exhaust the grain and grass in the city so that Brother Bogui's troops will starve to death.

However, the soldiers and horses around Jixian County are also unable to defeat the rebels in western Liaoning in the field. And Zhang Ju's plundered troops in the south continued to transport grain and grass materials back in a steady stream, and constantly supplied the army besieging the city of Liaoxi with war nourishment. ”

"The main force of the rebels in western Liaoxi still wants to count on this partial division that is plundering in the south to help them maintain military supplies? Do they have to take it back to their lair after looting? Hearing this, Li Su had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
