Chapter 63: The Rebellion of Wuyongdu (4)
Qian Biao was unhappy during this time, his previous title was the king of Pengcheng, but two months ago, the imperial court had just issued a decree to canonize him as the king of Yue. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoFrom this day on, he also became the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he no longer had to bow down to Yang Xingmi.
With the happy event of entering the king of Yue, coupled with the gathering of fellow villagers in his hometown in the past few days, Qian Biao naturally became more and more happy in his heart.
"Wealth does not return to the hometown, like brocade clothes at night!"
His ambition is not big, he just wants to be able to divide the two Zhejiang, and then show it in front of the elders in his hometown, and let them all say a few words like "The ancestors of the old Qian family are blessed", and he feels satisfied.
On this day, he was chatting with a little fat back then, who had been "facing the loess with his back to the sky" all his life, and had not seen much of the world, and talked to Qian Biao and made a lot of jokes, but it also made Qian Biao's face full of smiles.
"The king, Wu Yong is the commander of the left capital and asks Xu Juan to see him!" Just as Qian Biao and Fa Xiao were chatting happily, a discordant voice came from outside, and Qian Biao's expression suddenly turned cold.
"Let him in!" Qian Biao said in a deep voice.
For this Xu Juan, he is becoming more and more dissatisfied day by day. Two days ago, Xu Juan's soldiers had complaints circulating everywhere, but he didn't see this person come out to stop them, but allowed those people to spread rumors, which made him unhappy; Now he is chatting with his old brother, but this person who doesn't know the current affairs is running over to disturb him at this time, which makes Qian Biao even more annoyed.
"King, the last general has been feeling a little unwell in the past few days, and I want to go back to Hangzhou as soon as possible to recuperate, and I also ask the general to return to Hangzhou first!" Xu Juan didn't know Qian Di's thoughts, and as soon as he saw Qian Bi at this time, he opened his mouth to plead.
He had already contacted Xu Zaisi, and he would raise troops together when he returned to Hangzhou.
Hangzhou is the foundation of Qian Biao, has always been a rich place, and when Sun Confucian's army ravaged Jianghuai, Changzhou, Suzhou, Huzhou, Xuanzhou and other rich places in the south of the Yangtze River were all affected by military disasters, but Hangzhou did not go through that disaster; Coupled with Qian Biao's careful management for many years, Hangzhou's money and grain can be said to be the most abundant place in the whole south.
Xu Juan believes that as long as he and Xu Zaisi can join forces to capture Hangzhou, they will have a place to base, and whether it is based on Hangzhou's self-reliance or defection to Huainan can depend on the situation. And Qian Biao has lost his foundation, even if he has three heads and six arms, it is difficult to help them.
Qian Biao asked with a cold face, "What illness do you have to return to Hangzhou in a hurry?" ”
"The Last General ......"
Without waiting for Xu Juan to answer, Qian Biao waved his hand a little impatiently and said, "Okay, I don't care what kind of illness you have, since you want to return to Hangzhou first, then go back with Wu Yongdu first, and then go back in a few days." ”
Xu Juan didn't expect her request to be agreed to so easily, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked her and resigned.
Qian Biao didn't care, turned around and continued to chat with the fellow countryman on the previous topic.
Outside the door, Xu Juan sneered, "Now you are so impatient, drive me away like a fly, and wait for you to cry in the future!" ”
He didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately returned to the camp to gather his subordinates, "Everyone, just now I have asked Qian Biao for my resignation from that old thief, and he also agreed that we should return to Hangzhou first." ”
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed. Xu Juan said again, "In Hangzhou, General Xu Zaisi has agreed to join forces with us, so now just wait for us to return to Hangzhou, we can immediately raise troops, and then the property and women of the entire Hangzhou will be at your disposal, and you will never seal the knife within three days!" Can you have any objections? ”
"There is no objection from the subordinates!" The crowd rejoiced. They don't know how long it has been since they killed people and set fires, and now they have Xu Juan's promise, and they immediately scream and want to return to Hangzhou.
"Okay, then you all go back and prepare now, and we'll set up camp in half an hour!"
After returning to Hangzhou, he had just entered the outer city, in order to encourage the soldiers' enthusiasm for rebellion, Xu Juan really sacrificed the "magic weapon" that Sun Rujun tried and tested back then - burning, killing and looting.
Back then, Sun Ru's army ravaged Jianghuai, and in the face of Yang Xingmi's army, he won many battles and almost forced Yang Xingmi to a dead end.
When the frenzied soldiers were blinded by killing, this army was no longer an army of "people", but an army of "beasts". That's why their combat effectiveness is so strong, so terrifying, and they are not afraid of death when they fight, and even Yang Xingmi is defeated when facing them.
However, it is precisely because of their atrocities that Sun Ru occupied Jianghuai for more than four years, but he never won the hearts of the Jianghuai people; On the other hand, Yang Xingmi was famous for his generosity to the people, and the people were willing to serve him to the death, and in the tug-of-war that lasted for nearly five years, although he was repeatedly defeated, he was always able to recover quickly from defeat, and finally defeated Sun Ru in one fell swoop.
Now Xu Juan and their efforts to arouse the soldiers' fighting spirit naturally reminded them of their old profession back then.
"Within three days, the whole of Hangzhou will be enjoyed by you!"
The soldiers were overjoyed, and a great chaos quickly unfolded in this beautiful and rich city, and in just half a day, the streets were full of rebels, corpses, crying, shouting, cursing, and soaring into the sky......
On the city wall that had just been occupied, Xu Juan looked at the streets that were on fire everywhere, and couldn't help but smile proudly, "Yes, this is what our Caizhou Army should do!" As for repairing the moat, let's leave it to those hillbillies of the Badu soldiers to do, hahahaha! ”
"Is there any news from General Xu?" After laughing, Xu Juan turned to ask his cronies beside him, after all, he is now the leader, and he still has important things to do; If he had been just a petty officer, he would have joined the bestiality of the soldiers below.
"General Qiyu, General Xu has already led his subordinates to prepare to join the general. It's just ......" cronies hesitated.
Xu Juan's face sank, and he asked sharply, "Just what?" Could it be that Xu Zaisi repented, he didn't come to join me, but was ready to attack me? ”
The cronies hurriedly replied, "That's not it, General Xu's soldiers and horses also began to rob things in the city, but Qian Biao's son Qian Chuanying and the commander of the three cities made Ma Xuan and others close the gates of the inner city and are resisting our army in the city." ”
Xu Wan was taken aback, and secretly felt that he had made a mistake. "I was just thinking about boosting morale, why did I forget to capture the inner city first?"
After Hangzhou fell into the hands of Qian Biao, it was greatly expanded, and he used the former Hangzhou city as the inner city, and built an outer city outside. Now Xu Juan's rebellious army has only captured the outer city, but the inner city is still controlled by people loyal to Qian Biao.
But he can't be blamed for this, because he had promised to let the soldiers loot for three days before, so when the army entered the outer city of Hangzhou, the soldiers could no longer control it, and Xu Juan had to fulfill his promise to let them rob.
"Let's go and meet General Xu now, and then attack the inner city together, we must not let Qian Chuanying and them gain a firm foothold in the inner city!"
