Cao Mengde was dragged up not because of the Taiping Dao rebellion, but because this guy actually slept there!

Experienced people may know that if a hangover falls asleep on the bed, he is likely to drown in his own vomit, but it is clear that Mrs. Ding is such an experienced person.

Over the years, Cao Mengde has been studying and practicing martial arts, but he has also been drinking non-stop, and he is really happy.

But happy and happy, a position of speaker who is all over the streets of Luoyang is not enough for him to learn about the occurrence of the 'big event' in the DPRK and China as soon as possible.

That's right, Tang Zhou's debut made everyone realize that this was a 'big deal'! But that's just the extent of a big deal.

Someone is about to rebel, and they also colluded with two Zhongchang attendants, these eunuchs are really hateful!

Then I asked, there was actually a thief leader named Ma Yuanyi who led 100,000 homeless people from Yangzhou in Jingzhou to cross the Yellow River, and then turned to Hanoi County in the west from Yecheng, preparing to occupy Mengjin...... Obviously, this thief actually wants to use this way to bypass the Bishui Pass, Xuanmen Pass and other checkpoints in the east of Luoyang, and then cooperate with these two eunuchs to directly capture Luoyang! This has to be taken more seriously!

Finally, I asked again, what Tang Zhou, what Ma Yuanyi, is actually just one of Zhang Jiao's many apprentices, and Zhang Jiao has been concentrating for many years, setting up 36 large and small parties, and it is actually all over the country!

The context of the matter was clear for the time being, and the elites in the center of the empire immediately arranged a response plan overnight.

First of all, Luoyang's safety is the most important, Ma Yuanyi and the 100,000 displaced people in Hanoi are only one Yellow River away from Luoyang, so they must make an immediate decision, and while the other party still doesn't know, they will send elite officials overnight to directly arrest this official according to the information provided by Tang Zhou!

Secondly, a hasty edict was sent to the officials of Jizhou, asking them to also arrest the head and immediately take down Zhang Jiao!

However, after these two emergency measures were arranged, next, regarding the Qu Shuai and the members of their thirty-six parties, probably because there were too many involvement, there was a split and controversy here in the center for the first time!

Just look at the two Zhongchang servants who took refuge in Taiping Dao, the eunuchs of the Yellow Gate Prison came quickly to be involved with Taiping Dao, so they didn't want to see the situation of pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, so these people suggested that the Son of Heaven could be publicly pardoned from the Qu Shuai level...... The Han family is here, the holy name of the Son of Heaven is the same, they are all the people of the Han family, they have been bewitched by the bandits, and an edict will naturally be lost, so why do you have to make you live or die?

However, whether it is the Three Princes or the people of Shangshutai, although they also feel that this matter should be eliminated as much as possible, and there must be no full-scale turmoil due to the unauthorized expansion of the attack area, but it is generally believed that Qu Shuai and other anti-thief backbones must be severely punished! Otherwise, where is the prestige of the Han family?

In this regard, the Son of Heaven had some doubts, this wise man had wasted too much time in the West Garden, and had lost his basic judgment...... Of course, he knew that this matter was very serious and had to be taken seriously, but he also knew that there was a little bit of a trick in the different attitudes of these two groups of people, so he couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

In short, the Son of Heaven felt that he needed to listen and think again.

In fact, what is the Son of Heaven? The Zhongchang servants and the three public scholars who directly control the power of the empire on weekdays, these big people who have a thorough understanding of people's hearts, laws, and political tricks, how many can they imagine what will happen next?

In the final analysis, at this time, it seems that this is just a rebellious move that was exposed at the last moment!

It's just a little bigger, a little more organized...... Can it still shake the world of the Han Dynasty? Could it be that the countryside outside has begun to 'suffer from the world for a long time'?!

As a result, the outside began to pursue rapidly, but the DPRK and China still did not think about military dynamics, but only argued endlessly from the perspective of criminal law...... It seems that all the Qu Shuai of the thirty-six parties can be captured.

On 15 February, Ma Yuanyi, one of the most trusted and powerful commanders of Taiping Dao, was arrested and captured.

On 16 February, the Jizhou Assassin History Department, which had no assassin history in office for the time being, received an official order from the imperial court in Yecheng, and on the same day, Ma Yuanyi was escorted back to Luoyang.

On the same day, according to the confession of Ma Yuanyi's Taiping Dao backbone who was executed in the same case, plus two Zhongchang attendants and their henchmen, Luoyang closed the city gates, and the Three Princes, Shang Shutai, Huangmen Supervisor, and Sili School Governor's Mansion all came out, starting with the bribed palace guards, and thousands of Taiping Dao believers were arrested and imprisoned.

On 18 February, at the urging of the imperial envoys, the Jizhou Assassin Department attempted to arrest Zhang Jiao, but before the trip could take place, a number of internal officials hiding in the prefecture had already leaked the news. Zhang Jiao got the message, no longer hesitated, and immediately started an incident in Julu in advance, and at the same time used all means to transmit the news from all sides, calling on all parts of the country to raise troops together.

As a result, during the day, countless Yellow Turban believers wrapped their heads in yellow scarves, saying that 'the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand', 36 squares, distributed in seven states, all at once!

And Zhang Jiao called himself the general of Tiangong, the second brother Zhang Bao claimed to be the general of the earth, and the younger brother Zhang Liang called himself the general of the people, each according to the previous plan to contact and dispatch, attack the government, kill the officials and sacrifice to the sky!

At this point, the center was already a little flustered, but it finally held its ground. They first stopped the ridiculous punishment dispute in front of the emperor, and then they were rarely united, and formulated a military strategy with great efficiency, and then under the urging of the Son of Heaven, they quickly sent a message to the county guards, assassins, and captains in various places, asking them to dispatch troops and horses to exterminate these Yellow Turban thieves on the spot by military means!

However, what happened next, not to mention those people in the center, I am afraid that I didn't even think of Zhang Jiao...... There's no way, the local governments are too vulnerable!

In the past few days, the center's previous military orders have not yet been fed back, but Luoyang has taken the lead to see the summons documents sent by the initiative from all over the country, and the documents show that the twenty-eight counties of the seven prefectures of Yanyuqing, Xujing, and Youji are in a comprehensive emergency for a while! Especially in Jizhou and Yanyu, the Taiping army is simply overwhelming! The governors from all over the country abandoned their officials and fled, the official temple was empty, and in Qinghe and Anping, the kings of the two countries were actually captured alive!

Not to mention exterminated on the spot, the rule of the Han Dynasty in these two places has almost collapsed!

The so-called response of the world, the shaking of the Jingshi, probably this is what it means.

At this time, the Son of Heaven and the central princes completely woke up...... But in turn, he panicked to the point of not knowing what to do.

I really don't blame these central elites...... has been peaceful for more than 100 years, at most Liangzhou Qiang is a little ruthless, who has ever seen this situation in front of him? !

On the twenty-sixth day of February in the year of Jiazi, Zhuo County, Youzhou.

At this time, it was only seven or eight days before Zhang Jiaojulu raised his troops, but Gongsun Xun had already learned the traces of the Yellow Turban Army.

Of course, he was not idle in the past seven or eight days, and in the first three days, he basically cleaned up the core members of Taiping Dao in Zhuo County and in the north of Zhuo County, and tried to control half of the Taiping Dao incident in Zhuo County within the scope of 'case'...... As for the small party in the south of Zhuo County, who soon rebelled, he basically had to give up.

As for the next few days, to be precise, after hearing that most of Guangyang County in the east had been captured by the Taiping Dao, he was actually trying to relocate the people on the east side of Zhuo County.

According to the original plan, it should be to try to get into the city first, and then move as much as possible to the mountainous area on the northwest side of Zhuo County. However, this kind of thing has only been done for a few days, and it has only gathered a population of 20,000 or 30,000, and news suddenly came from the east, saying that the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Guangyang County had given up the attack on the remaining cities in Guangyang, and instead merged with the Yellow Turban Army in Yuyang County further east and came directly to Zhuo County.

What to expect...... Zhuo County is the gateway to Youzhou, and if the two big cities of Zhuo County and Fanyang can fall into the hands of these Youzhou Yellow Turban Army, then they can immediately connect to their base camp in Jizhou; And in turn, it can threaten other counties in Youzhou in the north with a posture that can be attacked and retreated.

In fact, Gongsun Xun thought from the beginning that as long as the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army still had a little strategic thinking, it would definitely do its best to take these two cities.

It's just that he never expected that the other party would come so quickly!

At this time, it was only seven or eight days since Zhang Jiao raised his troops, it was only eleven or twelve days since Wei You came to inquire that day, and it was only sixty days since his Gongsun Xun took office as the Taishou of Zhuo County!

"How many?" In the official temple, Gongsun Xun, who was writing documents with his head down, was obviously stunned for a moment, and then immediately raised his head.

"Wait for you." The name of the hall hurriedly spoke. "About 20,000 or 30,000 people...... At least 25,000 or more! There are too many people, and the main reason is that the thief army marches excessively and the rules are too chaotic, so we can't make a detailed estimate...... You may be able to see the thief striker tonight. ”

Guangyang County borders Zhuo County, or simply Zhuo County, and its lost southern cities can go directly to Zhuo County, and the distance is only a few dozen miles...... As long as they come to attack, the large army will only be one day at most, and Youzhou Doma has captured many cities, if the Yellow Turban Army vanguard comes in a cavalry posture, maybe it will be able to arrive in half a day.

"That's not what it means." Lu Fan on the side frowned and interjected and asked. "Let me ask you, isn't Guangyang only a generous Taiping Dao? Counting this Taiping Dao small square in the south of our Zhuo County, even if it is an additional piece, it shouldn't be more than 20,000 people, right? ”

This Yicong hurriedly shook his head: "Back to Lu Jun, his generation is all people who have just rebelled, and there is no discipline in the march, I am afraid that I will not be able to be a suspicious soldier...... On the plains, covering the heavens and the earth, there must be more than 25,000 troops! Moreover, almost all of this army crossed the border from Gwangyang County in the east, and there was no convergence of the thief army in the southeast. ”

Lu Fan immediately gave up his illusion, but asked the other party to hurry up and rest...... In fact, this righteous congregation was a scout of the local border army before he followed Gongsun Xun in Yanmen, and he has always been an expert in this area, and Lu Ziheng also believed the other party's judgment from the beginning.

It's just that this number is still a bit surprising and nervous.

"Shuzhi, how many available soldiers are there in the city now?" As soon as the person left, Gongsun Xun on the main throne immediately held the pen and turned to look at Wang Xiu on the other side, who had not spoken.

Wang Xiu held a volume of documents in his hand and replied almost without hesitation: "It depends on whether the prince wants to defend or attack?" ”

"How many soldiers are there in the garrison?"

"If you keep it, there are four or five thousand people in the city now, and in an emergency, recruit the sons of the family and the sons of the good family, and then mobilize the young people in the city, there will be more than 10,000 people!" Wang Xiu thought about it for a while and gave a definite answer.

"In other words." Gongsun Xun nodded slightly. "Just defending the city, probably worry-free?"

"Not bad."

"Then what if I want to go out of the city to meet the enemy?" Gongsun Xun continued to ask. "How many soldiers can there be?"

"Counting the rangers who were temporarily recruited and the expanded county pawns before, now there are three hundred righteous servants, one thousand two hundred cavalry soldiers, and one thousand six hundred county soldiers......

"Three thousand soldiers?"

"Nope!" Wang Xiu immediately corrected. "There were more than 1,000 strong men who were punished as city dan and Sikou before, and these people could help defend the city, but they needed to be taken care of. Moreover, there are also 20,000 or 30,000 people entering the city, so many people, among whom there must be Taiping Dao believers, who also need to be guarded and deterred. "At this point, Wang Shuzhi said frankly." If the prince goes to war at this time, he will only be able to bring the 1,500 cavalry with him for the sake of the stability of the city......"

"What if we recruit from the city on a temporary basis?" Gongsun Xun still didn't give up.

"It will take time." Wang Shuzhi replied. "There is enough food and cloth, cast iron, and wood, but it takes time to make ordnance, uniforms, and flags.

Gongsun Xun was speechless.

"It would be nice if it was in Zhongshan!" At this moment, Lu Fan, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly interjected in frustration at this time.

The three people in the hall, plus Han Dang, who was standing in the door, were all silent for a while.

In other words, the situation in front of him is the inevitable result of Gongsun Xun's sudden change from Zhongshan to Zhuojun!

In Zhongshan, he worked hard for three years, not only hoarding a large amount of armaments and materials, setting up a complete defense line, but more importantly, under the banner of public order, he also organized and trained a 'public security' army of as many as 5,000 or 6,000 people in the county under the banner of public order and the so-called Shiwu method.

This is a semi-professional military contingent full of local powerful sons and sons of good families, and then organized and rooted in the cities, counties, and townships of Zhongshan, which can be quickly mobilized after the chaos and expanded into a professional army of more than 10,000 people...... If it is really still in Zhongshan, then there is a larger-scale Taiping Dao coming, and I dare not say that I will fight back immediately, but Gongsun Xun is still very confident in resisting the enemy outside the border.

What is it like now?

Of course, in terms of a 60-day tenure, Gongsun Xun has actually done his best, at least he did his best to defend the two big cities in Fanyang and Zhuoxian...... And if it is consumed, it should also be able to accumulate strength to fight back.

But it's still the same sentence, if it's in Zhongshan...... At this time, it has already been played! Why can you just sit in the city and let the soldiers come to the city?!

However, the grievances of the four of them quickly disappeared after Lou Zibo came in from outside in a panic.

"Prince! Yigong, Ziheng, Shuzhi, do you know the strength of the Yellow Turban Army? Uncle Lou, who was sweating profusely, asked in a panic as soon as he entered the door. I met the messenger at the door, and when I saw that he was having a hard time, I let him rest, and if you do not know it, I will explain it to him......"

"I already know." Lu Fan sighed helplessly. "More than 25,000 people crossed the border from Guangyang and went straight to our Zhuo County......"

Lou Gui was stunned for a moment, and then quickly shook his head: "It's not this, I don't know this yet...... It was the south side of the trial that sent someone to summon him, saying that Zhang Bao from Jizhou personally raised an army of 50,000 to the north, as if he was going to Fanyang! ”

The other four people in the hall were stunned.

"Does Guangyang actually have twenty or thirty thousand Yellow Turban troops? And coming at us? "After a half-stop, Lou Zibo couldn't bear it himself, and asked again and again for verification." This should be the meaning of Zhang Bao's military order to come to stop us, right? ”

No one answered him, after all, the question is self-evident.

In fact, after a long time, Lu Fan broke the silence with a blushing face: "Where did so many thieves come from?!" ”

"That's a good question!" Gongsun Xun didn't laugh angrily, but threw the brush in his hand on the table, and then slowly leaned on the back of the Taiwei chair behind him.

Where did the Yellow Turban Army come from with so many 'soldiers'?

Before the rebellion, Guangyang County was only a generous Taiping Dao, and it was 10,000 people at the beginning, but when it turned to Zhuo County a few days later, it suddenly became more than 20,000 or 30,000 people...... Of course, more than that, they only came here after they conquered several cities in Guangyang County, and there must be guards left there.

And Zhang Bao is certainly a general of the local government, but the current main direction of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army must be the Wei County in the south, and Youzhou in the north is destined to be just a partial division, how can 50,000 people come out in ten days?!

The answer is simple, in the end, the world wants to rebel for a long time! At least this is the case here in the hinterland of Hebei!

Politics**, land annexation, natural disasters**, the government, princes and kings, eunuchs, clans, heroes, layers of exploitation, blood sucking everywhere, civilians have no place to stand, not to die, but to die, why not follow the Taiping Road together? !

There are also those heroes and strong, on the one hand, they act recklessly, so as to nourish their ambitions, but on the other hand, they have no channels for promotion, they cannot be famous, they cannot become officials, and they are resentful of the Han family...... Then why can't they take a gamble with the Zhang brothers with a stroke of brain?

For now, and even in the future, the Yellow Turban Army should expand rapidly. Under the siege of the city, every time you conquer the city, the strength can increase by one point, and every time you skim the land, there will be a bunch of soldiers...... It's no wonder there are 'so many thieves'!

Of course, back to the present, from Gongsun Xun's point of view, now is not the time to be able to sigh, in fact, these thoughts have only turned around in his heart a few times, and he has never said them......

"Junhou, what should Fan Yang do?" Lou Gui asked helplessly. "The enemy army of 50,000 went to attack Fanyang, and the Guangyang Yellow Turban has already crossed the border, Guo Tingshi wants to retreat to us at this time, I'm afraid it's too late, right?"

Gongsun Xun, who had been silent for a long time, finally sighed faintly at this time: "Why is it Uncle Fang? The entire Department of Thorn History is now in Fanyang, Lu Shi's family is also in Fanyang, and even due south (trial and matching characters) are stationed in Beixincheng on the west side of Fanyang...... Where can it not be saved? And don't care about these, Fanyang, Zhuoxian, a south and a north connection, can be called the gateway to Youzhou, once Fanyang falls, how many days can we be stable here in Zhuoxian? Fan Yang will be saved! ”

Wang Xiu opened his mouth to speak, but he took the initiative to shut up...... In fact, he wanted to suggest that troops be transferred from Liangxiang in the north and from the country in the west, but after thinking about it, not to mention how many troops could be transferred, he said that the people's hearts are uncertain now, and what if someone makes trouble after the troops are transferred? Isn't it a salary to put out fires?

"After all, Guo Tingshi is a state uncle, and the rest of the counties should go all out to send reinforcements, right?" After a while, Lu Fan also asked with some uncertainty.

"Reinforcements are almost inevitable, aside from the Saiwai, there are also several counties on the Youzhou side where the Taiping Dao force is weak, but there are two theories in this." Lou Gyu immediately responded. "First, Guangyang has fallen, cutting off the road, how many reinforcements can there be, and when they will arrive, it may not be known; Second, 50,000 yellow turbans besieged Fan Yang, and it may not be known how much ability Guo Tingshi has over there, and whether he can wait for reinforcements. ”

"Uncle Zi is right, you can't put your hopes on others." At this moment, Gongsun Xun, who had been sedentary for a long time, suddenly stood up with a blank face, and then said slowly. According to the current situation, under the so-called general trend, we can't help ourselves, and we have only one plan for today...... That is, first lure the Guangyang Yellow Turban to the city of Zhuoxian, while using the strong city to kill its sharpness, and at the same time mobilize the good families, apprentices, and criminals in the city to quickly become an army, and then go out of the city to fight, first break the enemy in front of you, and then lead the elite south to relieve the siege of Fanyang! And be quick! ”

At this point, Gongsun Xun directly called his name: "Ziheng, uncle and nephew, the two of you will start to mobilize in the city now, and quickly build ordnance while recruiting troops!" Take that Jian Yong! ”

"Whoa/yes!" Lu Fan and Wang Xiu hurriedly promised.

"Yigong went to the military camp to summon the generals to the city, and Zibo will go with me now, while observing the city defenses and motivating the soldiers, while waiting for the arrival of the enemy army to see its flaws." Gongsun Xun said, but he didn't put on armor, but walked out of the hall of the official temple by directly holding the broken knife at his waist.

Lou Gui and Han Dang naturally responded to their own orders.

Gongsun Xun walked out of the official temple with an expressionless face, but when he got on the horse in front of the official temple, he seemed to be already smiling, and when Gongsun Yue, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Zhao, Wei Yue, Yang Kai and others walked up to the city tower under the leadership of Han Dang to meet the Zhuojun Taishou, he was already talking and laughing with Lou Gui there.

The generals looked at each other, but secretly admired...... You must know that among these people, don't look at what 'heroes of the Three Kingdoms' are, but at this time, more than half of them have never been on the battlefield!

In the story of Aunt Gongsun, Guan Yunchang, who has always regarded the other party's master as a traitor, has only killed people at this time, and he really hasn't fought a war!

Zhang Yide is majestic and mighty, Gongsun Xun has known each other for sixty days, but he has never suspected that this person is a 'ten thousand enemies' like Guan Yunchang, but this native of Zhuo County has only killed pigs and never fought!

This matter can be witnessed by all the people of the city!

As for Liu Xuande, who has no hair on his mouth, don't say anything about Emperor Zhaolie, at this time he is an underworld leader who only knows how to collect protection money from other horse dealers!

There is also a trick, Gongsun Xun doesn't know what kind of Cao Wei famous general is in another time and space, the so-called righteousness and heroism of righteousness and majesty with a full face and beard like Zhang Fei...... But there is no doubt that at this time, this Lianzijing has absolutely no military experience.

In fact, as far as the immediate situation is concerned, these four 'famous generals of the Three Kingdoms' plus one piece may not be as good as the wars that one of the three people on the side, Gongsun Yue, Han Dang, and Wei Yue, has seen at random? ! However, even Han Dang, who is also a 'famous general of the Three Kingdoms' and the so-called 'Jiangbiao Huchen', didn't he have a sad face after hearing the news in the hall before?

You must know that at this time, the task of the people in Zhuoxian County is not to defend the city...... Instead, it is necessary to quickly destroy the upcoming more than 20,000 Guangyang yellow turbans, and to expel the 50,000 Jizhou yellow turbans that are about to enter Zhuo County!

Thanks to his grandson Xun, he could laugh.

"Ladies and gentlemen." On the tower of the city gate in the east of Zhuo County, seeing the arrival of the generals, Gongsun Xun stopped talking and laughing with Lou Gui, but when he turned sideways, he still smiled, only to see him holding a knife in one hand and pointing to the flat horizon in the east with the other. "You should all know that there are no less than 30,000 yellow scarves in Guangyang, and today will not be tomorrow...... A group of local chickens and dogs, I want to destroy this in ten days, in order to repay the country, you may swallow it for me? ”

Except for Guan Yunchang, who was blushing, all the generals changed color.

——————I'm the dividing line for talking and laughing——————

"At the end of the Guanghe year, the yellow scarf rose suddenly, Shi Xun was the defender of Zhuo County for 60 days, the soldiers and horses in the county were not enough, there was a shortage of grain and grass, and half of the stabbing Shi Guo Xun in Fanyang, it was more and more insufficient...... One day, he patrolled the city with the generals, and suddenly there was a report: '30,000 yellow turbans in Guangyang are coming.' And the people did not have enough three thousand soldiers in the city, and they all changed color. Duxun smiled slowly: "The other generation of the native chicken and the dog, and borrow the king's majesty to try to swallow it." 'The generals are at peace. Not long after, another report said: 'Anping has fallen into the country, its king has been taken captive, and the thief chief Zhang Bao has led 100,000 troops to Fanyang. 'The color of the crowd changed, and they looked at Xun with their eyes, and they slowly held the knife and said: 'In this way, you should swallow it quickly, and help me to reject Zhang Bao in Fan Yangye!' The generals were impressed. ——"Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Cang
