Chapter 260: Chaotic Battle
After killing Song Jian, Chen Cheng ordered each county to reduce the number of county soldiers, and each county needed to provide 1,000 elite soldiers and horses to Yinchuan for the state governor's government to drive, which was called "Shangfan Service". These soldiers needed horses, armor, weapons, food, and other materials from the counties, but they had to obey the command of the military headquarters.
Coupled with the soldiers who were originally laid off and reclaimed, there was no shortage of soldiers and horses near Yinchuan. Even if Guanzhong and Bingzhou are attacked, they can cope with it. Jia Xu, Yan Zhong, and Chen Cheng discussed for a long time, and felt that Dong Zhuojun might not really come to attack, but they couldn't relax their defenses against Wuyuan and Shangjun because of this.
If Dong Zhuojun enters Shangjun, Xu Rong should act at the opportunity, stand if he can fight, and leave if he can't, and not restrain the generals on the front line for political reasons. However, there is still a general direction, that is, to protect the territory and the people, and it is possible to counterattack, but it cannot go deep into the enemy's territory.
The next day, Chen Cheng held another enlarged meeting in the office, and under the blockade of the forbidden army and the tooth soldiers, the outside world could not know what the people inside were talking about. I only knew that after Yang Qiu came out, his complexion was very good, and he seemed to be about to sing.
However, "Yinchuan Daily" did not mention anything about it, but Wu Chengen added an extra chapter of "Journey to the West", which made the people inside and outside the city addicted. There are also people who want to ask who Wu Chengen is and where he lives, so that he can spend more money and let him have a few more chapters.
It took three or four days to update a chapter, is this a monkey game? You know, even if you are as lazy as "windy", it is at least two shifts a day! Although the monkeys in "Journey to the West" are very funny.
The Governor's Office then issued an edict ordering each county governor to count the number of household registrations and troops in the county after the autumn harvest, and to count the amount of cultivated land. This was originally the government's own job, but in the past, Liangzhou was in a state of division, and the princes attacked each other.
After making a plan to attack Liangzhou with Dong Zhuo, Lü Bu of Chang'an also began to hoard grain and expand his army. In his imagination, now that the whole of Guanzhong is in his own hands, it is not a matter of one sentence to ask for food and troops? In the past, Ding Yuan's headquarters was only 30,000 soldiers and horses, but after several major battles, the strength of the army swelled to 100,000, because he was able to recruit troops and grain in Guanzhong.
But as it turned out, he was thinking too simply. When Ding Yuan was there, it took countless efforts to get money, food, soldiers and horses from Gai Xun. Now that Ding Yuan and Gai Xun are dead, the original bureaucratic system, although still functioning, is completely different from what it used to be.
"What? Don't even have 100,000 stone grain and grass? ”
Lu Bu laughed angrily, "In previous years, there were millions of stones of grain in Guanzhong, but this year there are not even 100,000 stones?" Do you think that the sword in the hand of a certain family is not good? ”
The kneeling official below trembled, and said with a sad face: "General, we are not to blame for this!" The counties below refuse to hand over the grain, so where can we get it? ”
"Who will not hand over their food?" Lu Bu said with a cruel smile: "When a certain family was in Hedong, I often encountered Diao people who refused to hand over food, but I didn't expect that now there are even Guanzhong!" ”
"Chen Cang Duan simmering ........"
The little official kneeling on the ground said several names in a row, all of them were strong and powerful in Guanzhong, who supported the army and divided one side. After the change in Chang'an, these heroes did not explicitly oppose Lu Bu, but they intercepted all the taxes that should have been paid and put them into their pockets.
Most of the soldiers and horses under Lu Bu's command were from Guanzhong, and these days, many people have fled back to the countryside either spontaneously or under the bewitchment of people with ulterior motives. Those deserters were also collected by the powerful in various places and turned into armed forces in their own hands.
In Lu Bu's view, he relied on his courage and courage to seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and complete the gorgeous transformation from a "general" to a "prince". But in the eyes of the management and powerful people in Guanzhong, Lu Bu was just a monkey they pushed out against the imperial court.
Since it's a monkey, it's good to stay in the palace in Chang'an to eat and drink, why do you care about so many things? We will naturally handle the big things outside.
The perceptions of the two sides are different, and the contradiction between outsiders and local heroes is getting bigger and bigger. Each has its own reason, and they all do not give in to each other. It's easy to make a step now, but the losses are a lot of money. I fully supported Lu Bu before, and that was because the imperial court's conquest army was just around the corner.
Now that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are finished by themselves, Liangzhou in the west and Bingzhou in the east have been defeated by the Guanzhong army several times in a row, and most of them dare not come again. As soon as the external enemy is gone, internal fighting will naturally become the mainstream. The atmosphere in Guanzhong became more and more tense, and in the end, except for some places near Chang'an that were directly occupied by Lu Bu, most of Sanfu's places stood on his opposite side.
The army of 60,000 people under his command also shrank rapidly, and most of the soldiers and horses under the command of the former Huangfu Song defected to Duan Xuan, and the rest fled back to their homes with their own blades. Only Ding Yuan's old subordinates rallied around Lü Bu for geographical and other reasons. Then, friction arose between the antagonists, and the friction quickly escalated, turning into a chaotic war that swept Sansuke.
Dong Zhuo of Bingzhou piled up grain, grass and troops to Xihe County, and recruited many Hun cavalry from the local area, and was ready to cross the Yellow River to the west.
Dong Zhuo didn't expect Lu Bu to be able to play a good hand like this, and Li Ru didn't expect it either. If we had known that Lu Bu was such a waste material, then what else would we do? Wouldn't it be okay to go over and rob Chang'an with him?
At the beginning, when the two sides had not yet turned their faces and made a move, Lu Bu was like a moth trapped in a spider's web, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from the shackles of all aspects. But after the start of the fight, Lu Bu quickly showed extraordinary combat effectiveness.
In the case of the three auxiliaries were opposed, he defended Chang'an City with Gao Shun, and then personally led his troops to open the road to Tongguan, and joined forces with Zhang Liaobu stationed in Tongguan, and then led his troops to the north to capture part of Zuo Fengyi's city. Each time he captured a city, Lü Bu's soldiers and horses plundered and killed the officials and soldiers who defended the city.
For the fierce resistance of the Mezuza City, the means of slaughter were adopted. Lü Bu's army seized the food of the powerful and the people everywhere, and then mixed the captives with the strong men who had been forcibly recruited, driving them to the next place. Relying on this barbaric method, in a dozen days, Lu Bu pacified most of Jing Zhaoyin and Zuo Fengyi.
When Lü Bu led his troops to the expedition, Chen Cangshou's general Duan Xuan gathered more than 30,000 soldiers and horses from Fufeng County and rushed along the Weishui River to attack Chang'an. That time, Huangfu Song and Gai Xun teamed up and easily killed Ding Yuan. So this time I want to draw a scoop with a gourd and replicate the victory last time.
It's a pity that Duan Xuan is not Huangfu Song. He led an army of 30,000 to Chang'an, but was defeated by Zhang Liao with thousands of cavalry, and the soldiers were lost by two or three percent, and had no choice but to retreat to Fufeng to hold on. If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Liao had too few troops in his hands, maybe he would have taken advantage of the situation to seize Fufeng.
When Lu Bu pacified Feng Yi and was about to turn around and kill Duan Xuan and the others, Dong Zhuo finally led his troops back to Hedong County from Xihe County, and crossed the Yellow River for the third time and entered Guanzhong. The cities that had originally surrendered to Lu Bu changed their banners and took refuge under Dong Zhuo's command.
In their minds, Dong Zhuo was very hateful, but Lu Bu was even more hateful. No matter how bad Dong Zhuo is, it won't be worse than Lu Bu, right? However, Dong Zhuo is so bad.......
Hearing about the chaos in Guanzhong, Chen Cheng, Yan Zhong and others were speechless. They have made so many preparations, just planning to fight with Huangfu Song. As a result, before they could exert their strength, Huangfu Songjun had already been transferred to Luoyang and placed under house arrest. Then they prepared to deal with Lu Bu with all their might, and then Lu Bu fought with the heroes in Guanzhong.
What is this? Could it be that in these years, there is not even a single one who can fight?
Of course, there are still those who can fight, Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, and Sun Wentai in the Central Plains have repeatedly won more with less. Among them, Sun Jian fought the elite troops under He Jin, and only wiped out tens of thousands of people. Gongsun Zhan is fighting the remnants of the Yellow Turban and bandits from all over the country, which is very powerful, and has already eliminated and incorporated three or four hundred thousand people.
After Duan Xuan's troops were defeated under the city of Chang'an, he was afraid that Lü Bu would lead his troops to attack, and originally wanted to lead his troops to surrender, but there were many Guanzhong people who fled from Lü Bu's rule. Some of these people had their entire families killed by Lu Bu, and they had a deep hatred with Lu Bujun; Some relatives and friends died at the hands of Lu Bujun, so they were naturally unwilling to surrender to the enemy, so they said to Duan Xuan; "Instead of surrendering to Lu Bu, it is better to take refuge in Liangzhou Chen Envoy Jun!"
Duan Xuan shook his head in opposition and said, "We are soldiers and horses of the imperial court, how can we surrender to the Xiliang thieves?" ”
Someone on the side sneered: "Now Chen Yuanjun is the Liangzhou Mu canonized by the imperial court, but Lu Bu is the self-proclaimed general of Zhengxi, who is the officer and soldier and who is the traitor?" ”
This sentence was like a bolt of lightning, splitting the fog in Duan Xuan's mind and allowing him to see a completely different world from before. Xiliang thieves have become officers and soldiers, but officers and soldiers have become traitors, this world is completely different from before!
He asked the generals in the army again, and most of them did not agree to surrender to Lu Bu, but they were also unwilling to surrender to the Xiliang people, and only thought that they could continue to maintain their current independent status. So Duan Xuan wrote a letter to both Yan Zhong and Chen Cheng, expressing his willingness to take refuge, but to ensure that their current territory and soldiers and horses were not encroached upon.
Holding the letter, Yan Zhong couldn't help but sigh, and he said to Chen Cheng: "When Lu Bu occupied Guanzhong, I was still a little angry. ”
"Oh? And such a thing? Why haven't you heard Bo Dao say it? ”
Yan Zhong laughed at himself: "We worked hard and spent so long before we all had Liangzhou. Lu Bu didn't do anything, and he got Guanzhong all of a sudden. The population of Guanzhong is three times that of Liangzhou, and the wealth is more than five times that of Liangzhou. I'm not as broad-minded as the prince, so naturally I'm a little resentful. ”
"And now?"
"Well, now, of course, there is no more." Yan Zhong laughed and said: "Although the heavens handed Guanzhong into Lu Bu's hands, he didn't have enough energy, and it was useless to give him a chance, just to drive the king!" ”
