The 077th Zhang Lu Forward Army defected
"Really!" When Bai Tun heard this, he asked in surprise with a bull's eye.
"Naturally, it's true, not just you and your brothers. My lord said that if I can persuade the enemy army to surrender, the lord will not only retain his official position, but will not scatter your soldiers. This formed unit refers to a force of 1,000, 2,000 or 3,000 people, or even more.
For example, if the 3,000-strong team of your forward army is successfully brought back, then at that time, I don't need to start as a small pavilion chief, but will be directly appointed as a township tour. The little spy replied with shiny eyes.
If this Baitun chief really has the ability to persuade all the forward troops who are responsible for opening the way for Zhang Lujun to surrender, it will naturally be a great achievement for him, and after he goes back, he will definitely be able to pay for the township.
Originally, there were four township officials, three township elders, sifu, rank, and youjiao. When he arrived in Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he not only simplified the counties and counties, but also saved many local official positions. The three elders of the township and the tour payment remain unchanged, the county is set up in the big township, and the county is set up in the small county.
Therefore, Jin Jue decided that under his rule, the three elders of the township would first be the three elders of the township and the province of Jian, and at the same time place the rank and the husband, because the responsibilities of the two township officials overlapped, therefore, he decided that the husband was in charge of hearing lawsuits, and there was a rank in charge of education and collecting taxes.
And the matter of patrolling and arresting You is equivalent to the unanimity of the director of the township police station in later generations, and not everyone can take responsibility.
"It's done!" When Bai Tun heard this, he stared at the soldiers of the Forward Army who had not yet noticed the situation here, and said viciously.
So, these people exclaimed, and someone was hit by an arrow, and the deputy tun chief was thrown into the pit dug by Jin Juejun on the mountain road for no reason, and used it as a pit filling material.
As for how exactly he died, no one doubts at all. During this time, the vanguard army slept during the day and rested at night, although there were very few dead, it did not mean that there would be no dead.
Next, Bai Tunchang and his subordinates took advantage of the free time in the white sky to find acquaintances here and discuss the rebellion in secret. Because they are all acquaintances, the people they go to find in Baitun will basically choose this simple and survivable path, especially when they hear that the place has actually gone around to the back and cut off their retreat, no one will object.
Of course, when Bai Tun Chang and them are in tandem, they will definitely not go to those who have families in Zhimian County, Hanzhong County to discuss this matter.
In fact, in the vanguard army, only Bai Tunchang is an outlier, he also has a family in Hanzhong County, but after he took refuge in Zhang Lu, he found a coquettish little widow in Mian County, compared with his own life, a woman is nothing. Therefore, Bai Tun Chang is indeed the only general who is suitable for the front army to rebel so far.
The other generals above the commander level in the forward army all have families in Mian County, and even have families.
In the afternoon, the rear sent the prepared meals to the front, and the forward army did not dare to make a fire to cook casually, so they could only let the rear prepare them and send them over. After eating, it was already approaching dusk.
At this time, Bai Tun Chang secretly connected with good people, and under his whistle, he slaughtered all the officers above the position of commander in the forward army.
In addition to Bai Tunchang, there is only one deputy tun chief surnamed Liu, who is the cousin of Shi Chang under Bai Tun Chang. If Jin Jue wants these surnamed Liu to be proof, his cousin must live. Therefore, he saved his life under Liu Shichang's intercession.
However, when they arrived in Luoyang City, the deputy tun chief Liu and Liu Shichang had to withdraw from the team of the white tun chief. Because, this Deputy Tun Commander Liu is also a relatively prestigious officer with good kung fu. This is the condition proposed by Bai Tun Chang, and with a better choice, Deputy Tun Chief Liu and Liu Shi Chang Qundou gladly accepted this seemingly extremely unreasonable condition.
The rebellion went very smoothly, with Xiao Liu's spy as the leading party, the conservative archers of the Jin Jue army along the way really did not attack them again.
And by the time Yang Ren and Yang Bai learned the news, the vanguard army had been running for more than an hour under the leadership of Xiao Liu's spy and Bai Tunchang. Fortunately, the military rations of the forward army have always been controlled by the rear army, otherwise, Zhang Lujun's losses this time would have been great.
An army of 20,000 people, not to mention only 3,000 people, had a far-reaching impact. For a time, the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers and generals of the entire Zhang Lu army all became fluctuating. They didn't know why the 3,000 people of the forward army fled at this time, and they couldn't understand that those generals who obviously had families in Mian County also fled together.
Because it was dark, until now, Yang Ren and Yang Bai didn't know that all the generals with families had been filled. Who can see clearly when the light is dark? Even if it was dawn tomorrow, no one would be interested in going into those tunnels to find out the origin of the 'bones' buried in them.
Today's operation to clear the road had to be stopped, on the one hand, this work has always been done by the forward army, at this time, the black light is blinding, and it is not appropriate to pull any army up. In this case, the troops who are forced to pull up will not only not be able to complete the job, but will incur greater casualties. The other party is not a fool, the defection of the forward army must be the one they secretly sent to lead the lure, tonight, they will definitely step up the attack.
At night, although Yang Ren and Yang Bai had told the generals of each battalion to restrain their soldiers, but early the next morning, when the number of soldiers was counted in each battalion, they found that many people in each battalion suddenly disappeared last night. In a single camp, the number of missing soldiers was not large, but as soon as the number of missing soldiers in the entire army last night was counted, Yang Ren and Yang Bai both gasped.
There were more than 3,000 soldiers, plus more than 1,000 soldiers killed and wounded in the past 20 days, as well as the 3,000 forward troops who had already defected, and the 20,000 troops when they set out from Hanzhong, and now there are only more than 12,000 people left.
More than 20 days have passed, and they have not fought a single battle, and they have been disintegrated and almost half of the men and horses have been disintegrated, and the other party is really terrible.
"Two General Yang, we might as well retreat to Hanzhong now! Without the forward army, the soldiers of the other battalions were not good at dredging the road at all, and besides, after holding it for so long, now there are only so many people left, and the people's hearts are fluctuating, and they can't hold out for too long. The other party's intentions are already very obvious, they just want to drag us here alive in this way. An old lieutenant admonished boldly.
"Shut up!" When Yang Ren heard this, he glared at him and shouted angrily, didn't he understand these truths?
But if he returns with the remnants of his army without a fight, what will the king think of him? This time he sent troops, spent a lot of money and food, and lost so many soldiers, he himself felt that he could not explain to the king.
In the same mood as Yang Ren, Yang Bai didn't dare to return to Hanzhong with the remnants of the army. At this time, for the first time in his heart, he felt resentment towards his brother Yang Song. If it weren't for him, Yang Bai would have waded into this troubled water this time, who couldn't do the work of supervising the army, but his eldest brother took the initiative to propose to Zhang Lu in order to say goodbye to Yang Ren's brother and put him in the position of supervising the army.
At this moment, the deputy general of the rear army personally arrived here, he attached it to Yang Ren's ear, and said a bad news that shocked him extremely - I don't know when, Zhang Lujun's back road has been completely cut off, and there are more than one place.
