Chapter 143: The Little People from North to South (5)
Chen Ji left the room and couldn't help but sigh. For the sake of the world, it may be a good thing for Xu Wu to go out of the mountain, but from his point of view, he really hopes that the old man can live a stable old age. It's probably the past year of getting along, and he really became his own parent for the old man. Just like Chen Xiujie's thoughts, if you don't know what to do, you should live at home, and it just so happens that he can provide a good pastime for both of them in their old age.
Chen Ji rubbed his forehead and laughed for a while, it was really in such a situation, no one could escape being coerced forward. The torrent of history, whether you are standing at the top or in the quagmire, will be ruthlessly washed and crushed. If there is a day when the world is a furnace, the people who train will be everyone up and down, and there will be no difference because you are rich or poor.
The moon and stars are scarce, in a blink of an eye, and it is cool and autumnal.
The big and small things that happened in Qingzhou, with the new emperor's accession to the throne, gradually fell silent, and as far as the people were concerned, it was just a trick of experiencing the "three fires of the new official taking office", and after it subsided, no one cared about it except for the small group of people who were directly involved.
Chen Ji is digesting this round of benefits.
If you hit a stick, you must also give a few sweet dates.
Qingzhou is fine.
Taikang County, Henan. The war, which lasted for more than half a year, swept in, and with the current military preparation, at most three days, the city was broken. There has been no response to the Tang newspaper sent out earlier, and there is already a panic in the city.
The county government, the county magistrate Cui Xian summoned everyone who could be summoned, in addition to the county government officials, the six-room scribes, and the third-class officials, there were also several gentry leaders in Taikang County.
Cui Xian glanced at Yang Lin at the end of the seat and asked, "Have the county Yiyong ever summoned to the city?"
Yang Dianshi got up, his face stiffened, and returned: "Back to the county, the county has now gathered more than usual, and has summoned five hundred more volunteers, including nearly two ......hundred spearmen."
Taikang did not have a regular army, and the most recent army has now been transferred to Kaifeng to relieve the siege. At present, the tens of thousands of rogues outside the city can only rely on the tens of thousands of people in the city.
Cui Xian nodded, got up and said, "At this time, Cui Xian hopes that you can unite as one to fight the thieves together......"
As soon as the words fell, a figure hurriedly rushed in the courtyard in front of him, crying: "My lord, the thief has entered the city."
Cui Xian's pupils shrank, his eyes fell on the hall, and he was depressed from time to time, and said sadly: "I see."
Yang Dianshi is a native of Taikang, because in addition to one county prince in Taikang, Taikang's defense fell on him. Now that he saw that he was tired, he picked up the chair and smashed it towards the county man who was generous and drank tea.
Someone had already come from the rear and stopped him.
Yang Lin said dejectedly: "Everyone, Taikang is the place where we are born and raised?"
He turned around, looked for his weapon, and went out into the street.
Cui Xian got up and said: "Cui Mou, as the official of Taikang's parents, the governor can't do anything, so he was martyred with this body."
He also went out.
Xian Cheng put down the teacup and looked at the Taikang gentry opposite, "You should be able to understand, right?" Taikang, tens of thousands of people want to live! ”
Cui Xian went out, Yang Lin had already gathered the previous volunteer soldiers, and after explaining the situation, less than a third were willing to step forward with him. Choi Heon came from the rear.
The main street, which had been stretched out before the county office, was at the corner and led to the city gate. The vanguard of the soldiers who entered the city without blood was coming to the county office. Soon after, the two sides faced each other, and the one-sided slaughter ended in a stick of incense, and the corpses on the long street were trampled by war horses beyond recognition, and no one restrained them.
Taikang City was broken, and then there were occasional small-scale assassinations, and half a month later, with the end of the Kaifeng War, Taikang was slaughtered as a place to vent his anger.
Further north, the important town of Datong, Jianyu drove a Mongolian tribe and plundered it.
For example, Taikang is a place, or fierce resistance, or opening the door to meet the enemy, large and small wars are frequent, and several rebel armies transferred by the imperial court to suppress gradually form a joint encirclement, if the rebel army does not want to be divided and exterminated, it will probably strive to retreat west to Hanzhong and temporarily recuperate.
And the imperial court can only hope for this at the moment, and it is really powerless to exterminate it all. Therefore, on top of the overall situation, the two sides have only collided head-on in Kaifeng and Huaiyang, and the rest are probably pursuing the principle of "you fight yours, I surround mine".
More insiders, the court will not say, except for those who are in the game, it is difficult for anyone to understand what kind of situation it is.
After the slaughter of the city, there were people who fled, and there were not necessarily any. Therefore, all the way to the south, it is a peaceful scene.
In July, the outpost fort at the front of the Liaoning West Corridor was confronted by a small ranger of Jianyu, and after a brief contact between the two sides, they each faded, and in the following half a month, similar situations became more and more frequent.
In August, as the rain faded away, the wandering captives between the white mountains and black waters began to act. The first wave to suffer was Ye Hebu, one of the four Jurchen tribes in Haixi.
The war ignited, but the Jokhang Liaodong Metropolitan Division did not move, and it lasted until September, Yehe Jurchen withdrew from the ancestral land and moved inward, and the Jokhang court circled a part of the mountains and forests in the western Liaoning corridor, and contracted the court with merit for this matter, so the issue of "resettlement" between the two tribes became the first major event of the imperial court. Ye He and Jian Yu also cried blood at the same time, accusing each other.
The court finally came up with a "mediation plan".
There were a lot of entanglements inside, and when they arrived in Qingzhou, and then Xu Wu said it, Chen Ji couldn't help but feel some empathy.
Before parting, the old man talked about these things again, and Chen Ji asked intentionally: "I heard that the two tribes had many attacks earlier, and even formed a mortal enemy. Now that Ye He is weak, the imperial court should stand firmly on the side, instead of using others as a shield, otherwise once the rear of Jianyu is stabilized, there will really be nothing to do outside the Guan. Of course, from Dengzhou, you can take the sea route directly into Liaodong, but the land of Liaoxi is lost, and then consolidating Liaodong is just a waste of labor and money. ”
Chen Ji paused and made tea for the old man, "At this juncture, there is no need to hold any shelves." Since Ye He prayed to the imperial court to send troops, the imperial court should give something to say, although it is difficult to send troops, but you can give some funding, and the two sides should be more advanced, otherwise they will push friends to join the enemy. ”
"You kid said it simply."
"It's because it's simple that I say it with one mouth."
The old man was not annoyed, and quipped: "It's really hairless on the mouth, and the work is not firm." The topic is a bit of a conversation, but it's a withdrawal and something that has been going on in the court recently.
Chen Ji had already waved his hand and said with a headache: "Don't tell me this, boss."
"Or else? Seeing that you are busy all day long, you are busy all day long, and you don't see a headache when you are a businessman. ”
"How can this be the same. It's like the boss doing the farming and mulberry himself. ”
"That's it, you kid isn't motivated."
"It always has been."
Xu Wu sighed and warmed the tea for himself.
Not long after, it still broke down on the recent events in Liaoxi.
