Verse 44 opens the Pandora's box (7, ask for subscription
The robber army was well fed and slept all night, and at dawn at dawn, under the urging and drinking order of the main general, they endured the fatigue of the first day's long-distance forced march and plunder, and got up, and set out with breakfast.
Jinan Mansion reported that the robbers did not turn south, but killed here, and the officials were shocked and only sighed unlucky.
Why didn't they kill Xiang Dongping Mansion? Could it be that he took a fancy to Mount Tai and wanted to kill that entrenchment?
The whole city was under martial law and entered a state of combat readiness.
Somewhere else? I can't take care of it.
The officials of the county town nervously prayed to the gods and Buddhas to bless them and wait for the verdict of fate.
Zhao Yue listened to Xu Jin's report on the state of the city, sneered, and said: "They are used to being turtles, and they usually show their teeth and claws, how dare they come out to fight at this time?" ”
Let Zhao Fu send Hua Rong, Wang Feibao, Zhao Gui, and Sun Shouhe to each bring 5,000 men and horses, and divide the troops into four routes to loot and eliminate the bullies and inferior gentry along the way, continue to make a fortune, and enrich weapons, grain, grass, mules, horses, and vehicles.
The army swept forward.
When Jinan County learned that the robbers were looting in the direction of Mount Tai, the officials were relieved.
Most of them think about grabbing it, grabbing it, let you grab enough, as long as you don't come to break the city.
But there was a heroic righteousness and courage on his face.
Some of them severely condemned the robbers, the lowly and ferocious beasts, dared to provoke the imperial court, and the talented ones wrote several poems on the spot to express their loyalty to the monarch and their patriotic heart and daring to fight. When people heard it, they couldn't help but be moved to tears by his noble integrity, and won praise or disdain to compete.
Some shouted that they thought they could fight to the death under the city, but the thieves knew that it was difficult for me to avoid it and fled. And wait for this officer to lead the troops to fight this bloody battle to the end, show the majesty and courage of our army, destroy the thieves, promote my grandeur and righteousness, and maintain the discipline and majesty of the imperial court. to repay the saints
Speaking of which, it feels like the danger has passed, and he thinks about making a name for himself and letting the saint know his loyalty, and then he is afraid of not fighting but has merit, and those who have strong reinforcements in the court and even have great benefits will be promoted and knighted.
This incident is said to be the whole of Jinan Prefecture to repel the invasion of tens of thousands of rogues and hit it hard. There is no need to do so.
Want to see the robber's corpse head?
Didn't the robbers kill a lot of people? You can't just use it to fill it.
The official has a good conscience. There is no risking to kill the good.
Anyway, the truth is up to their two skins. What the emperor knew was what they reported.
It is said that many wealthy families have disappeared.
Their land, shops, and other inheritances are taken away and sold for money, and it is more than enough to block the mouth of the Qin Cha who comes to check it, and the official can also get a lot of benefits.
Heck, when you think about it, robbers aren't useless either.
That night, the robber army lodged on the eastern border of Jinan Province.
Dongping Mansion breathed a sigh of relief. Far away, these damn robbers shouldn't be here.
Tai'an Prefecture in the south and Zizhou in the east are tense.
Who knows if the robbers are going south or east?
This gang of robbers is really bold, and the Daimyo's Mansion is the king of the mountain, and he does not succeed in being a murderous rogue, and treats our army as if it were nothing. Breaking the city, killing people and wantonly committing murder. Movements are unpredictable.
Some officials could not help but scold the officials and soldiers of Jinan Prefecture for being wasted.
Why don't you fight a dozen?
Bozhou is a small state, and its strength is insufficient, so it is understandable that Liang Shijie was caught off guard and wrecked. Your Jinan Mansion is an important town, with many soldiers and sufficient equipment, and you have prepared in advance, how can you let the rogues be presumptuous?
If you can't beat it, it weakens the strength of the bandits. It is good to thwart its rampant arrogance and drag the pace of the stream.
They slept in complaining. The night in the capital city of Jinan suddenly burst into shouts of killing.
There was a young general of the forbidden army who volunteered to guard the city gate at night, and his cronies secretly opened the city gate.
This commander was placed here by the Cangzhao family as a soldier. With martial arts and bribery for five years, he has today's status, and today he has made meritorious contributions in one fell swoop. I was finally able to get out of this breath-holding place and go home.
Zhao Yue and Ma Ling, who turned into the mountains and forests halfway, led 1,000 Zhongwei troops, 1,000 law enforcement teams, and 5,000 other Chinese robbers to touch the city at night, and rushed into the city under the guidance of the young general.
Xu Jinwu was able to lead the law enforcement robbers to rush up the city wall, and shot down the general on duty of the forbidden army who heard the news and brought the troops over to try to stop the closed door with a chain of crossbows. Scare away the guards on the city walls and plunder the gentry separately.
Another 3,000 robbers who lacked weapons were led by Wang Nianjing to seize the arsenal and arm themselves to defend the armament here. and is responsible for receiving the various departments, one of which guards the gate here.
Ma Lingbu blocked the military camp on the edge of the city here, and attacked while the forbidden army was asleep.
Here the forbidden army woke up from a deep sleep, heard that the robbers had entered the city in a big way, dizzy and panicked, grabbed the weapon and rushed out of the door, saw the black pressure countless figures pounced, the arrows rained down, and the frightened heard that the weapon was abandoned and not killed, thinking of the Bozhou tragedy, the robber actually said that it counted. The barracks soon collapsed. Swords, guns, arrows and halberds were thrown to the ground.
Ma Ling collected the weapons here, ignored the officers and soldiers and fled, and led the troops to kill the city.
Zhao Yue personally led the army to rush to the key points in the city, routed the intercepted officers and soldiers along the way, killed the fleeing officials, and blocked the military camps at the other two city gates separately with Ma Ling.
When I ran to look, it was empty, only the weapons discarded on the ground.
It must have been the official who scared away first. Otherwise, there will always be organized resistance.
When I went to the farthest gate, I saw that the barracks here were empty.
Post-war inspections.
The elderly prefect was actually scared to death in bed, and he would definitely be described afterwards as sitting in the town and the government and not retreating, mighty and unyielding, scolding the thief and dying.
When the eunuch and his soldiers were fleeing with their families, they were caught up and killed by Ma Ling, which would be said to be a heroic battle, and they were outnumbered and sacrificed with honor.
Tong Ju died in the chaos while fleeing, and he must have become a man of letters, but he had the courage and integrity, and organized the people to work hard to provide logistics support for the officers and soldiers defending the city, but unfortunately the city was broken and killed by robbers.
Most of the other Cangcao dignitaries also died in the escape, and they will also be heroes of the righteous death festival.
The people hid in their homes in fear, closed their doors, except for a few people who were close to the officials who were searched by robbers, and the homes where the bureaucrats were hidden, and the others were really fine as the people from Bozhou.
Zhao Yue led the army and left Jinan Mansion that night.
Money, arrows, and other things that could not be used were still escorted by the young general with his cronies to the waiting Cangzhao caravan and went home together.
After robbing the town, the robber army is finally fully armed. The fleet of chariots and horses was further expanded. The morale of the whole army was high.
Zhao Yue didn't know if he had slept in the past two hours after the robbers who participated in the night battle came back, and he looked at them one by one and were still so energetic, so he could continue to march.
When encountering the enemy, Hua Rong and other four parts of the enemy had their own rest for the night.
The capital will be rewarded at this time. A small number of important members of the DPRK and China know. The emperor may not know.
In order to cover up the peace, show the achievements of governance. Cai Jing and other traitors are very likely to conceal it and not report it. Maybe it wasn't taken seriously at all.
Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there have been too many incidents of rebellion. So many officials were numb and didn't care. Often, when the anti-thieves first started up, they did not take advantage of their weakness to extinguish them in one fell swoop, and when the trouble was big, they had to pay attention to it before they mobilized and exterminated it with all their might. Far away Wang Xiaobo uprising. Wang Qing of Huaixi in front of him broke the state capital several times, burned, killed and looted. Yang Jian led the Changhua army and almost died in the expedition, but he didn't dare to report the thief. The emperor didn't know, and the more Hebei Tianhu made more and more trouble, the more arrogant he became, and the emperor still didn't know.
For this huge bandit army, the state capitals were not allowed to cross the border to encircle and suppress, and could not gather a large army to form a joint force, so they were frightened and still did not dare to fight alone.
Even if the imperial court has a will, it is not an invasion by foreign enemies, with the complex bureaucratic system of the Great Song Dynasty to contain each other, slow work efficiency, and selfish thoughts, I am afraid that I will not be able to really act in a month.
The situation is not very dangerous. Zhao Yue knew it in his heart, but he couldn't say it to the robbers.
The robbers must be made to feel that they are in danger of perishing at any time, and they must die if they leave the brigade or refuse to move for fear of hardship and fatigue, so that they can have the motivation and desperate spirit to turn pressure into it.
This is not the era of the well-informed web. The robbers are all from the bottom of the people, and they have no great knowledge. Even if a rich kid like Zhao Fu is from a rich family, he may not know that the government is tired.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have disappeared without making a big fuss.
This is the height of status limit insights. So it can fool the robbers.
But time is still running out and action must be taken urgently.
Zhao Yue let the bandit army loot wealth and armaments just by the way. He had another purpose.
Just when the Zizhou Mansion was frightened and prayed that the robbers would not kill him, I don't know which god and Buddha took pity on him and suddenly appeared.
The army of robbers turned to Tai'an, frightening the local officials and rich gentry half to death. The first two states fell easily, so that they did not dare to have the illusion of holding the city.
In front of the military palace city, Wang Feibao asked the government to pay the money to buy his life to protect the city from death, and the rich gentry and corrupt officials in the city regarded money as their lives.
This gang of robbers really counts when they talk, they are simply models of integrity, and they collected their things and went south.
The local tyrants and tyrants along the road were not so lucky, and they were still cleaned up and looted.
The army let the attack on Qingfu make a false alarm, swept over the edge of the attack on Qingfu, and quickly entered the territory of Yizhou.
This is the place where Gao Yu's own brother Gao Feng ruled. Zhao Yue wanted to clean up this bad seed.
The army of robbers rushed directly to the state capital.
I didn't want Gao Feng to be bold and treacherous, and he refused to defend the city to the death, and it all depended on the robbers' thoughts, so he actually led his troops to abandon the city early, and didn't know where to flee to hide.
The gentry of the city also fled.
The bandits pounced.
Yizhou has many mountains and complex terrain, and it is difficult to pursue Gaofeng. There's no time to waste.
Fortunately, there is a lot of equipment in the arsenal of Fucheng, much more than that of an important town like Jinan Mansion, obviously the result of having a good brother to take care of it, and Gao Feng did not empty it and take it away. Maybe there is a bribe to curry favor, so that the robber army will look at the filial piety of these things, and don't chase him to death.
Treat the interests of the state as if they were traded as merchants or with robbers. Gao Yujia is really a talent.
Zhao Yue let go of the Gao family's wonders. But here the army is divided in two.
Zhao Fu, Ma Ling's apprentice, Wang Feibao, and Sun Shouhe led the main army directly and quickly out of Yizhou and went east to Mizhou City.
Zhao Yue, Hua Rong and Zhao Gui took 5,000 hardcover robbers, slept in vain at night, and suddenly went north to Zizhou with light clothing, raided Zizhou City, and robbed successfully again. (To be continued......)
