Just pressed the gourd, immediately floated the scoop, Yilong as the matter was over, the deputy general of the 1st Division (battalion) stationed in Yingshan came to report, Yao Huang's Yao Tiandong was about to move, and there was a great posture of raiding Yingshan to grab grain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After Yao Huang occupied Bazhou and Dazhou, he did not go out to plunder every day like the bandits everyone imagined, but like the official army, in addition to the different numbers of men and horses led by various large and small leaders, he also included a larger number of nomads under his jurisdiction.

Due to the large number of people and the continuous natural disasters in recent years, Yao Huang often went out to plunder during the farming period, and the homeless people who came to the farm returned to the local area to farm when the farming was busy.

The last time Yao Huang's second leader Huang Long led his troops to attack Yilong County, it was mainly because the official army resisted stubbornly and failed to end the looting before the farming.

It is now the middle of November, and the farming has already ended, and Yao Tiandong has already said that he wants to fight for the second master Huang Long, and the neat king Zhang Xian will take revenge.

After the last time Ma Lang, the king of heaven, led a group of people to flee back to Bazhou, Yao Tiandong, who was in charge of Yao Huang, was shocked, originally thinking that the official army was isolated and helpless, but who expected that Yang Xuan would actually return to the division to kill, kill Huang Long, the king of heaven, and clean up Wang Zhang Xian, recruit Yang San, the second post, and regain firm control of Pengzhou.

The government has been stationed in Pengzhou, and although it is not as stable as in previous years, most of the fields have been planted with grain, and there is plenty of food.

In order not to starve the brothers, Yao Tiandong had no choice, in addition to the standing army led by the various leaders, those wanderers who came to the war need to go out to fight, thinking that Yao Huang waved the flag and shouted, as cannon fodder, to ensure that the grain and grass were sufficient, and when the farm was busy, he needed to go to the field to grow grain.

However, those people followed the local tyrants to plunder the place all the year round, and it was quite difficult to really go to the fields and farm, so the food shortage under Yao Huang was still quite serious.

This time, Yao Tiandong, Yuan Tao and others led their troops to prepare to loot Sichuan, of course, not only for food, but also to avenge Huanglong, Zhang Xian and others, and more importantly, to feel the threat of the official army.

Since Yang Xuan took office as the magistrate of Yilong County at the end of last year, he first established township offices at various entrances to strengthen local control, and then cleared the land and cleaned up the household registration.

Bandits and homeless people are rumored that Pengzhou Tianfu is no more than 6 points, Ding Fu is only 1 point and 2 yuan, and the fire consumption is only 20%, and the actual local tax is much lower than that of the Hongwu period, and the people have already lived and worked in peace and contentment.

In addition, the counties under its jurisdiction are cultivated on a large scale, and the government provides agricultural tools, and the field endowment is only 3 yuan per mu, less than 8 buckets of rice, which is lower than the tenant farmer's tenant land.

Yang Xuan is honest and honest, loves the people like a son, assists the people in building water conservancy, and under his rule, the people are lightly endowed, so it will not take three or five years, it will be a peaceful and prosperous era.

Influenced by the displaced people in the past and the displaced people who are now involved in the cultivation, among the displaced people who are generally coerced by the local tyrants, the general people, and the personal soldiers of the major leaders, there are various legends of Yang Xuan's honesty and honesty.

Some people even brought a message to Yao Tiandong's personal soldiers, don't be a tiger anymore, if you take refuge in the official army, the military salary of 1 tael and 5 yuan of silver per month, so that the family does not need to wander, everyone lives quietly, works at sunrise, and lives peacefully.

Although these are all rumors, especially after the reduction of the food supply to the people in the past ten days, it is even more boiling, making Yao Tiandong restless.

After thinking about it, Yao Tiandong decided to let Yuan Tao, the king of the heavens, and Hu Jiusi, who was a thousand miles away, lead his troops to be stationed in Dazhou, waiting for the opportunity to enter Yingshan and plunder the villagers' food.

Yang Xuan listened carefully, sent people to secretly and carefully investigate, and drew the large and small mountains and rivers of Yingshan in the sand table, and asked Chen Huaixi and others to study carefully, determine the method of response, and actively deploy troops to deal with possible changes.

In the middle of November, the weather was already unusually cold, and I returned to the Zhizhou Yamen at the time of the lamp, just washed my feet, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Yang Xuan ignored the cold weather, got up from his clothes, left Yao Zhijiao's 4th battalion to guard the outside of the state city, gathered the guard battalion, the cavalry battalion, Guo Chonglie's 3rd battalion, and Yang Bingyi's 5th battalion, and everyone rushed to Yingshan with lanterns and torches.

Xiangru County is only more than 30 kilometers away from Yingshan County, a group of people rushed to Yingshan County at the fifth watch, the county Wang Rimeng came to report, last night, the scout came to report, the local tyrant fought for the king Yuan Tao, Hu Jiusi led 3,000 soldiers, coerced five or six thousand people, and killed in a mighty way.

At first, everyone thought that it was a local tyrant, so they were suspicious, just like a few days ago, they suddenly sent a group of men and horses to attack and disturb them, this time the people and horses were more than ten miles back and forth, and the torches basically lit up half of the sky.

After the news was confirmed, Fan Mingshan, the deputy general of the 1st Battalion, made people light the beacon tower, which was only more than 30 miles away from Ruxian County and Yingshan County, and 4 beacon towers were built, so the news was quickly transmitted.

Fan Mingshan led the army to reinforce at the same time, from time to time to send scouts to report, now the location of the attack has basically been determined, that is, more than 40 miles away from the county seat of Yihe Township, Yihe Township is flat, the people are solid, there are six or seven villages in a radius, and the conservative estimate of grain is also 4,000 quintals.

Suddenly, news came from the north that a large-scale grain grabbing team had also appeared in the north of the county, and the number of people spread for more than 20 miles.

And in Jiulong Township is a big town leading to Bazhou and Dazhou in Yingshan, there are four or five rice merchants in the town alone, if you add other big businesses or something, there are about more than 4,000 loads of grain in Jiulong Village alone, if you add the big cottages around, the food is more.

In order to prevent the local rioters from robbing grain, the county yamen sent more than a dozen people to Jiulongzhai ten days ago to help repair the fortifications.

Overnight, there were two ways of grabbing grain in Yingshan County? This is simply unbelievable, and everyone is in an uproar.

Around the map, some people think that the main force of the local rioters is in Yihe Township, the reason is that there have been food looting teams in Yihe Township earlier, and Jiulong Township is just a local rioter attacking and harassing people.

Some people think that it is Jiulong Township, Jiulong Township is closer to Bazhou, the base camp of the local rioters, if the two sides fight, Yao Tiandong can lead the main force to reinforce at any time.

In addition, more importantly, in order to transport the grain away, Dazhou must cross the Qujiang River, and now that the weather is freezing and the ground is freezing, it is necessary to transport thousands of loads of grain across the Qujiang River, which is a troublesome thing.

Yang Xuan listened carefully, and suddenly smiled: "Everyone, grain transportation is not like anything else, thousands of loads of grain, you can transport it away if you want to."

Thousands of loads of grain, even if the local rioters succeeded in looting, it would be even more difficult to transport it back to Dazhou through the Quxian ferry.

I have made up my mind, let the local thugs plunder the grain, a thousand loads of grain, what's the big deal?"

Yang Risheng was shocked, knelt down and said: "My lord, this is a thousand loads of grain, the local tyrant is now short of food, if he robs this ten thousand tons of food, so the local tyrant will definitely be like a tiger."

Besides, in the past few years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, and the food in people's homes is very limited. ”

Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Rimeng, you didn't understand what I meant, I let the local thugs loot, not let them take away." As long as it is not transported, the grain will still be ours in the end. ”

Chen Huaixi reacted, looked at Yang Xuan and said, "My lord, tell me, what are you going to do?" ”

Looking at Ma Chao beside him, Yang Xuan said: "If this official is not mistaken, Yihe Township is likely to be a suspected soldier of the local tyrant along the way."

Your cavalry goes fast, you lead the cavalry to rush over first, remember that it is only harassment, not to fight to the death, so that the local tyrants cannot attack the city with half the effort, and it is difficult for the local tyrants to transport food. ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he hurriedly nodded yes, and after the horses were fed, they beat the horses and left.

Then, Yang Xuan pulled out the arrow, transferred Fan Mingshan's 1st Battalion, and Chen Yingzong's 2nd Battalion, which was stationed in the direction of Yilong, to rush to Jiulong Township at night, after being full of wine and food, and then chase and kill the local tyrant with everyone.

Yang Risheng of Lingzhi County and Wang Guang of County Cheng first recruited strong men in the county, and everyone rushed to support the officers and soldiers with the township as the unit.

Yang Xuan led the guard battalion, Guo Chonglie's 3rd battalion, and Yang Bingyi's 5th battalion to move slowly towards Jiulong Township, ignoring that the local tyrants were looting the grain of the local government and local households.
