Chapter Twenty-Eight: Deep Ploughing of Fuling County (5)
"Brother?! Is this true? Going to send troops? Okay, okay, please use me as a pioneer! ”
After returning to Fuling County from Tianjiazhai, Guan Yi immediately convened a meeting of the shogunate. After he explained the specific matters, Liao Yong, Chen Shou, Li Mi and others were still thinking about it, but Zhang Zun jumped up excitedly.
", just a team of five hundred people, and you still want to be a pioneer?" Guan Yi gently reprimanded Zhang Zunhou and said to everyone: "Everyone, in the past few months, the hunting team here in Taishoufu has almost beaten the fierce beasts near the county seat, and if you want to have a good harvest, you have to go further into the mountains, which will inevitably deal with the Wuxi barbarians." In addition, there are the oil fruits needed by our tung oil workshop, and the range of picking is getting larger and larger, and sooner or later they will have to be picked near the villages of the Wuxi barbarians, so that the industry of the Fuxing Society can have a safe space for development in the future, and we must fight this battle. Moreover, in order to attract the barbarian villages in the deep mountains to come down to the mountains and join them, it is also necessary to kill this Qinjia Fort, which specializes in looting, otherwise, many barbarian villages will have doubts about our Taishou Mansion......"
In fact, Guan Yi talked about it for most of the day, and the core content is: to develop the industry, you need a larger territory and more manpower. To have these two things, you must first stand up. If you want to be powerful, of course, you can't just find a weak chicken to kill. This plundering nature, Qin Jiabao, which caused public outrage among the nearby Wuxi Barbarian tribes, is the best target.
"Uncle Yong, we have never been on the battlefield, so we have to ask you to preside over this battle. Please rest assured, since Yi and below, all the officials of the Taishou Mansion are at your disposal. ”
"Thank you. However, Xia Guan wants to ask Ma Cheng, how far is this Qinjiabao from here? Where was the stockade built...... Ask the prince again, how much can you prepare in advance in terms of money and food......"
After careful deliberation, everyone finally decided on a plan to send troops.
Time of dispatch: After the end of the agricultural season in September of the 20th year of Yanxi. The entire operation is expected to be completed within a month.
Strength: 150 county soldiers, plus 350 trading company guards. 500 people in all. In addition, 100 local Han people were mobilized to serve as people's husbands.
Money and grain: Taishoufu borrowed 50,000 yuan and 2,000 stone of grain from the Fuxing Society.
General General: Liao Yong. Overseer: Guan Yi. Joining the Army: Horse Pass. Grain and Grass Officer: Simple. Team officers: Zhang Zun, Zhao Yi.
Left-behind personnel: Li Mi, Chen Shou, Sun Gang.
"Oh, by the way, please write a report to the imperial court." Finally, this group of sons and brothers have not forgotten that they are now officials of the imperial court.
"Uh, uh...... Taishou, in addition to reporting to the imperial court, should you also write a report to the rear general of Yong'an. After all, the military movements east of Ba County are all the specific responsibilities of the Hou General. ”
"Well, of course, thank you for the reminder. Then let's do it, after you go down, seize the time to train the troops and prepare money and food. When this year's farming season is over, we'll send troops! ”
……
From Fuling County to Tong County in Ba County, and then from Tong County to Yongan in Badong County, they all go down the river. Therefore, Guan Yi's letter to Zong Pre was delivered to Zong Pre in only five days.
After reading Guan Yi's letter, Zong Pre smiled slightly: This group of sons and brothers can really toss. The successive Taishou of Fuling County never took the initiative to intervene in the grievances between the villages of the Wuxi barbarians - they did not pay taxes to the Han Dynasty!
However, after all, it is a group of young people who are willing to do things, and as a representative of the Jingzhou faction of the older generation, he is still willing to pull these young people along. After thinking about it for a while, he said to the people around him, "Go and call the master to come." ”
Zishi is Yang Zong's cousin. On the basis of history, this Shu Han general, who was stationed in Yong'an, successively assisted Zong Pre, Yan Yu, and Luo Xian, the three governors of Yong'an. Before and after the fall of Shu Han, there was a wonderful performance.
"Master Zi, you have read Guan Zifeng's letter. This group of boys, they have to toss around blindly if they have nothing to do. But after all, this group of gentlemen are all descendants of Yuancong, and it's not good if something happens. Therefore, I would like to ask you to take the troops with you. ”
"Whoa! But after the general, how much do I lead the troops? What should I do when I go? ”
"Well, the combat strength of the Wuxi barbarians is not very good, so you should take five hundred people. I'll give you two boats and ten boats. Don't get involved in the battle after you go, I want to see what kind of fame this group of sons can play. Hey, after the death of my Han since the death of Cheqi, Zhenbei, and Zhennan (Deng Zhi, Wang Ping, Ma Zhong), talents are withering day by day. If you don't train new people, I'm afraid that in another ten years, there will be no successor. ”
"Well, my subordinates understand. Just to be a babysitter. The subordinates will go down to arrange the relevant matters. ”
……
After another five days, Zhuge Zhan and others of the CD also received Guan Yi's report.
"Hiss~~~ This group of boys still dare to come. Actually took the initiative to use a knife against the Wuxi barbarians? ”
"Hehe, I see, this group of sons and brothers have never fought, do they think that fighting is fun?"
(Guan Yi: Speaking of a few of your Shangshutai, it seems that they have fought a war.) )
"Well, anyway, this is the first time this group of gentlemen has been in battle, so I still have to take care of it. Then give them five hundred heavy armors, two hundred crossbows, and a hundred thousand bows and arrows. In addition, another general who has been in the battle formation for a long time will be transferred to guide. ”
"It's easy to say what is heavy, there are a lot of them in the treasury. But this long-standing general is really not easy to send...... Since the death of the middle leader, this forest has been getting weaker and weaker day by day......"
"Hey, the state affairs are so difficult, this Jiang Wei has to go on a northern expedition." After inexplicably scolding Jiang Wei again, Zhuge Zhan patted his head: "Send Uncle Huang to go again!" ”
In the leader, it refers to the pet. It is the temperament of Junshu mentioned in Zhuge Liang's teacher table, the one who knows the military of Xiaochang. In the third year of Yanxi, Xiang Zhong led the Shu Han Central Army to crusade against the Han Jiayi people and died in an ambush in the rebellion. After this, on the one hand, it is indeed the lack of talents in Shu Han, and there is no capable general to inherit the position of Xiang Favor. On the other hand, the national strength of Shu Han was declining, and the cost of maintaining the Northern Expeditionary Army was already very difficult, and the training intensity and supply of the Central Army, which basically had no combat mission, was gradually reduced. In short, the death of Xiang Zhong was the starting point of the decline of the combat strength of the Shu Han Central Army.
And Huang Bozhong is Huang Quan's son Huang Chong. In the second year of Zhangwu of the Shu Han Dynasty (222 AD), the big-eared thief was burned by Lu Xun in Yiling and fled in embarrassment. The Shu Han troops stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River lost contact with the Shu Han mainland. The commander of this force, Huang Quan, had no choice but to surrender to Cao Wei. After Liu Bei learned about this, he didn't think that Huang Quan had betrayed him, but was as kind to the Huang family as ever. Huang Chong is the son of Huang Quan who stayed in Shu Han.
So, in the middle of September of the twentieth year of Yanxi, when Guan Yi was about to send troops, he found that Badong County had sent elite standing soldiers to help, and the CD imperial court had sent the country's heavy weapons: infantry heavy iron armor and Zhuge crossbows. The Shu Han regime's generosity to its courtiers and its care and expectation for the growth of young people. It really shocked Guan Yi's heart.
"You don't want to be so nice to me, okay? I just want to get into the private sector. In the future, after the death of Shu Han, life will be a little better. I really don't want to carry the hellish difficulty of saving Shu Han from peril. What if you're so kind to me, what if I don't want to go! ”
Unfortunately, in addition to the official enthusiasm, the care of the Guan family showed signs of crumbling the selfish barrier in his heart.
"Three...... Third Uncle...... How did you come? Didn't you spend a lot of time drinking in Nanzhong? ”
"The only man in the third generation of my Guan family is going to the battlefield, and if the third uncle doesn't come, he really doesn't deserve the surname Guan."
This pig's foot in many folk tales, surnamed Guan and named Suo, is Guan Yu's third son. Guan Yu was still a child when he died, but now he is almost fifty years old. This guy is a bastard, he threw all the heavy responsibility of the Guan family to Guan Xing, and ran to Nanzhong to spend all his days drinking. Over the years, I have really slept all the way in Nanzhong. got a nickname for Hua Guansuo.
"I saw the news in the imperial court newspaper that you were going to send troops, so I hurried here. The road in Nanzhong is far away, and in order to catch up with your troops, you can't bring more people. But don't worry, the third uncle borrowed ten generals from the Meng family in Nanzhong this time, and they were all survivors of the Wudang Flying Army back then. ”
Now, the self-sustaining and strong Qinjiabao is tragic. Originally, Guan Yi just wanted to kill a monkey with a small file to scare the chickens. Who knew that the great gods of all sides were trying to bless his little file. In the end, what he threw out was a huge cattle-killing knife!
