Chapter 64: The Brutal Tyrant

The army made a three-day detour and entered Pengzhou in late August, but the entire Pengzhou situation was unrecognizable. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It turned out that at the same time as the official army reinforced Chengdu Prefecture, the local tyrants took advantage of the situation to lead the army to make a comeback, and now they have occupied Yingshan, Xiangru County and other places, and Yao Huanger is the leader of the battle for the king of heaven Huanglong to attack Yilong County.

Originally, I heard that Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to attack Chengdu, and the Sichuan Jiedu of the Dashun Army made Li Yutian and Ma Ke occupy Shunqing, and after the main force of the official army returned to Chengdu, the local tyrants who had been hiding in Bazhou and Dazhou felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and Yao Huang Er was in charge of fighting for the king of heaven Huanglong, the neat king Zhang Xian, the king of heaven Ma Lang, and the second whistle Yang San and others led the troops to make a comeback, and successively captured Yilong and Yingshan, and now they are making every effort to attack the heavily defended Yilong County.

Fan Mingshan, the first bureau of the first bureau of Yilong County, and Yao Zhijiao, the fifth bureau of the hundred general, complained bitterly, and now the Sichuan Jiedu of the Dashun army made Li Yutian and the general soldier Ma Ke led the Dashun army into Sichuan, and Shunqing City was broken without attack, and now he can be said to be isolated and helpless.

In addition, the more than 1,000 captives and displaced people who have just been resettled are even more worrying in the eyes of many people, which is simply a time bomb.

Although many of the soldiers thanked the government for helping them reclaim wasteland and borrow cattle seeds, they did not live the days of wandering and fleeing from the famine like in the past, but it is difficult to guarantee that someone will do evil again and collude with the local tyrants again.

I found everyone to discuss, and everyone sighed, now that Emperor Chongzhen had just hanged himself, everyone was panicked and helpless.

After doing it for a long time, everyone finally came up with a compromise plan, that is, to stay in the lonely city, if there are no reinforcements for ten days and half a month, then find a way out.

Staying at a post station more than 20 miles away from the county seat, everyone sat in a small teahouse and listened to Wang Rimeng, the nearby grain chief (township head), talk about the cause and effect, and sighed with emotion.

In less than two months, things are wrong, and now the emperor is gone, the king of Shu is gone, the governor is gone, the prefect is gone, everyone has no backbone, one by one like a headless fly, at a loss.

Seeing everyone like this, Yang Xuan was also quite anxious, if he couldn't convince everyone, would the team that had been accumulated with great difficulty become bandits?

Yang Xuan was sitting in a precarious position to maintain a reserved appearance, so as not to be seen through by others, while meditating on the way out in the future.

Suddenly, Yang Xuan secretly patted his head, he was fooled, since ancient times, he just didn't know how to produce and didn't know how to build.

In that case, why don't you talk to everyone?

After paying attention, Yang Xuan looked at Ma Chao at the bottom and said, "Mr. Ma Bai, is it comfortable to do the horse that day, or is it comfortable to do the official army?" ”

This is quite difficult to answer, especially this time it was his past brother who hit Yilong County, Ma Chao grabbed his head with his big hand, and said: "My lord, how can I say this?"

Although Xiangma is unrestrained and happy, he is not only worried about being exterminated by the officers and soldiers, but also often has a meal but not a meal?

Now as an official and soldier, not only do you have money to eat every month, but unlike in the past, there is no guarantee of three meals. ”

With a joy in his heart, Yang Xuan smiled and said: "You are born in a horse and a horse, and you are a fast horse for hundreds of miles in one day and one night, how can you have a meal and not a meal?" ”

Ma Chao smiled embarrassedly: "My lord, of course you don't have to worry about food and clothing when you live in the city, but in the past, in the mountains and wilderness, the surrounding villagers lived a hard life, and they all worked hard to protect their family wealth, so they lived a very hard life." ”

Seeing that Ma Chao was so cramped, everyone laughed.

Yang Xuan looked puzzled and said: "You Ma Chao is the self-proclaimed king of heaven, and you still have a hard life, and there are those who have not eaten, so the brothers below, one by one, you can imagine." ”

Ma Chao breathed a long sigh of relief, and with his big hand, he continued the beads of sweat on his face, and muttered: "That's not, but there is no way, there is no land to cultivate, and I have no food."

had to rob the rich to help the poor, but ordinary rich people had very little money and food, and they couldn't take long to rob once.

Although there are many people with money and food in the prefectures and counties, the cities are strong, and it is quite difficult to attack. ”

Yang Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, why would you rather be a peace dog than a troubled world." It is because they are in troubled times, although many heroes are decisive, they don't produce, and they don't know how to govern the place.

Haoqiang first robbed the rich households in the countryside with his bravery, and the rich families had all the food in their homes, and a few powerful people were able to occupy the prefectures and counties.

But everyone didn't expect that after all, the production in the field is limited, and the output is limited in troubled times, although robbing the house can solve the urgent need, but if it goes on like this for a long time, although the rich man's family has a lot of money and food, there will always be a day when it will be eaten up.

After eating it all, and in the end there is nothing to eat, what are you going to do? ”

Everyone was shocked, and some slapped their heads, shouting loudly why they didn't think of this layer.

As if finding the inside story of the bloody struggle in ancient times, Yang Xuan sighed: "In the Taiping Year, everyone can still relieve the dogs if they see that they have nothing to eat, but if they come to the troubled times, they don't even have people to eat, and in the end, there is only vendetta."

Chu and Han fought, Xiang Yu killed hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, in addition to worrying about the Qin army's rebellion, more importantly, there was no food to eat. ”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized, especially Ma Chao, and patted their heads and said: "What the adults said is true, when we were a horse in the deep mountains and old forests, we didn't do it first, no, we were hungry for a few days, and some of them were even more infighting?"

Last year, although we captured Bazhou and seized more than 100,000 quintals of grain, tens of thousands of mouths were opened, and everyone did not eat for a few months.

Why Yao Huang attacked Pengzhou this time is because there are many mountains in Dazhou, Bazhou, and the production in the field is limited, and Yao Huang has many people and horses, so in order to find food to eat, he wants to attack Pengzhou. ”

Yang Xuan was overjoyed, his face was happy, and he nodded: "As the saying goes, sit and eat the mountain, everyone may initially rob the rich and help the poor for the sake of righteousness, and everyone may be desperate at first, but in the long run, they only know how to rob and not produce, so they will inevitably sit and eat the mountain."

In my opinion, although the Dashun Army, the Great Western Army, and the local tyrants are still able to fight well, they will inevitably be defeated in the end because the foundation is unstable, and they will inevitably be defeated because the food cannot keep up. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and some even knelt down, no matter what, they had to ask Yang Xuan to help think of a way out.

Yang Xuan was overjoyed in his heart, stood up and looked at everyone: "Everyone, the source is clear, if a big tree has no foundation, it is impossible to grow into a towering tree, and if an army has no foundation, it can only become a rogue, even if Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is alive, even if he wins a hundred battles, but if he is not careful, he will inevitably lose everything."

This time when he returned to Pengzhou, if he failed, he would inevitably become a wandering army, just like a local tyrant, not only would he fall into the grass, but he would also have a meal but not a meal.

If it succeeds, we can take Pengzhou as the basis, and then use it as the foundation to develop Xutu, and then the glory and wealth will definitely be indispensable to everyone. ”

At first, everyone was at a loss for a while, but now when they hear Yang Xuan say this, although they still don't quite understand, but seeing Yang Xuan's confidence slowly, they all seem to be full of confidence and applaud loudly.

You must know that Yang Xuan is the founder of this army, and his status in the army is unparalleled, and no one dares to disobey.

However, the division of Huanglong, the king of heaven, exceeded 10,000 people, and the official army currently only had six infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade (two of which were still in the city), and the difference in strength between the two sides was huge, and it was even more difficult to defeat the local tyrants.

Not thinking about the reality of everyone at all, Yang Xuan sat on the top with confidence, put the big knife on the table, looked at the township chief Wang Rimeng at the bottom and asked: "Township Chief Wang, let's talk about the scene in the past few days, what is the difference between this time the local thugs attacked the city?" ”

Wang Rimeng is nearly forty years old, is a famous talent in the township, and the year before last, he went to Chengdu with Yang Xuan to participate in the township test, and they have a lot of fate with each other.

After failing to pass the township test for many years, Wang Rimeng had to teach in a private school to support his family.

Last year, when I saw Yang Xuan acting as the governor of the county and implementing the new policy, Wang Rimeng supported it clearly, so he was promoted to the head of the township.

Seeing that the others were young, one by one they didn't know how powerful they were, Wang Rimeng reminded: "My lord, now that the Dashun army has captured Shunqing City, we can say that there are no reinforcements outside.

In Pengzhou, in addition to the two brigades in the city, there are hundreds of men and horses led by adults, and there are less than 1,000 people in the full fight, not to mention the local tyrants in other places, there are more than 10,000 people and horses in Yilong County alone, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and I hope that the adults will not be reckless, and come up with some perfect strategy to turn the tide in one fell swoop. ”

Yang Xuan nodded and looked at the crowd: "I understand this, although the local tyrants are a rabble, although the officers and soldiers have defeated the rogues many times with one enemy and ten, but I am not as reckless as those generals, we still have to figure out the enemy situation, and then make plans." ”

Hearing Yang Xuan say this, Wang Rimeng had nothing to say, touched his head, and talked about the scene of the local riot.

This time, the local rioters came, in addition to sending men and horses to attack the state city from time to time, they also sent men and horses to raid the township.

Strange to say, it is said that the local tyrants are extremely arrogant, not only robbing the rich families in the township, but also robbing the displaced people who returned to Shun last year and have just been resettled, which makes people very puzzled.

Ma Chao's eyes widened, and he exclaimed incredulously: "This, how is this possible?" Those who returned to Shun Tun to cultivate were coerced by local tyrants in the past, but now although they are good, everyone is in the village, how can it be? ”

Wang Rimeng explained: "How is it impossible? Listening to the locals, the local tyrants said that if you are farming, you are betraying the master.

Besides, if everyone can live a peaceful and stable life, who wants to come out and do Yao Huang?

Besides, the adults have settled so many homeless people, which makes Yao Tiandong and Huang Long very faceless. ”

Ma Chao was furious, and patted the case in front of him fiercely: "These brutes, everyone is born poor, and they actually want to harm these poor brothers." ”

Seeing Ma Chao like this, Yang Xuan was quite satisfied in his heart, now that the local tyrants have made a comeback, and the officers and soldiers are outnumbered, what he is most worried about is that Ma Chao and his subordinates are on the verge of rebellion.
