Chapter 470: Wealth is moving
Chapter 470 Wealth is moving
On September 22 of the third year of Xuanhe, after touching a full bag in front of Hangu Pass, Wang Qing and his Huaixi soldiers turned southwest from Lushi County and entered Zhuyang Mountain, and in one day, more than 40,000 Huaixi soldiers passed through Zhuyang Mountain and entered the southern part of Shangzhou under Wuguan City.
When the news of the Huaixi soldiers coming to Wuguan came, the entire Shangzhou became a pot of porridge, especially Shangzhou and Fumin Town. Wuguan guards the main road, backed by Shangluo, once Wuguan is lost, Shangluo is not guaranteed, then the richest Shangzhou and Fumin town in the south of Guanzhong will be sacked by thieves. I don't know what happened, at the end of September 23, the Wuguan guard Bao Lin actually evacuated the city, and since then Wuguan has fallen into the hands of Huaixi soldiers.
Wuguan fell, Guanzhong was shocked, no one thought that Wuguan City, which had more than 8,000 people garrisoned, would be so vulnerable, although Wuguan was not as good as Hangu Pass, but after all, it was a pass that had survived for hundreds of years, how could it be so easily captured by thieves? Many people are scolding Bao Lin for being incompetent, but Bao Lin is just carrying the black cauldron, he also wants to fight with the thieves, he also knows the consequences of the loss of Wuguan and the consequences of the thieves entering the northern part of Wuguan, but the court has an order not to fight with the thieves, what can he do?
After capturing Wuguan, the morale of the Huaixi soldiers was greatly encouraged, and the haze under the Hangu Pass was also swept away. The land of Guanzhong, if you talk about wealth, in addition to Jingzhao Mansion is Shangzhou, especially Fumin Yantie Town, which is a treasure land. That night, Wang Qing gathered everyone and drank at the head of Wuguan City. Drinking alcohol in the army is a taboo, but Wang Qing and others don't know this. And the worst thing is that Wang Qing didn't shoot many scouts in the back. Because Wang Qing felt that he had a large number of soldiers. The Dingguo army could only rely on the fortified city to gain an advantage. I don't dare to come out and go head-to-head. It's a pity that Wang Qing was wrong. He was facing Gao Zhong and Zheng Biao, since the Huaixi soldiers withdrew from Hangu Pass, these two led 5,000 men and horses to quietly follow behind.
The army of 5,000 is impossible to march quietly, the problem is that Wang Qing didn't want to send more people behind him, which made Gao Zhong follow so closely.
On September 24, the day after the Huaixi soldiers occupied Wuguan, Du Yan, the general of the world's soldiers and horses, was ordered to lead his troops to conquer Shangluo County. More than 20,000 Huaixi disciples besieged Shangluo, and it took only one hour to occupy this ancient county seat.
If there was a choice between Shangzhou and Fumin Town, Wang Qing would not hesitate to choose Fumin Town. First of all, the city of Shangzhou is thick and thick, and the loss is naturally not small, and secondly, the wealth of Shangzhou is not as good as that of Fumin Town. Fumin Salt and Iron Town controls the official salt in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty. How much is that? 100,000 per year? Millions?
There was too much money, and Wang Qing couldn't help but be moved. Even if you don't care about Shangzhou, you have to rob Fumin Town. The Huaixi soldiers marched towards Fumin Town with great momentum, and the merchants from all over the town who were hiding in the town were suddenly attacked, most of these people were merchants who came here to buy goods, and they suffered from the chaos of the soldiers, and there was nowhere to say about the suffering. And the most speechless thing is that just a day ago, Nie Jin, the commander of the Fu militia and horses, was assassinated by an assassin sent by the thieves.
Compared with the chaotic situation in the town, Zhao Yougong is much calmer, sitting in the courtyard fishing, and playing chess with the wooden woman, which is very comfortable. When it was almost dark, Wu Lan hurriedly ran from outside and said with a little excitement, "Your Highness, General Yang has already led the cavalry into Fengyang, and it is estimated that he will be able to join forces with General Gao soon!" ”
"Oh?" Zhao Yougong threw down the chess pieces, making the wood girl unhappy for a while, "Yang Shaolie's marching speed is not slow, send a letter to Gao Chong, let him fight quickly, there are still many things to do, there is no need to waste time with Wang Qing's people!" ”
"Yes!" Wu Lan arched his hand, but did not leave, standing outside the pavilion, his mouth open and closed, as if he wanted to say something but did not dare to say it.
"Hehe, you Wu Erlang, why are you still talking and spitting? Say, is there something that asks this king? ”
Seeing that he was seen through, Wu Lan smiled and arched his hand, "Your Highness, the last general also wants to go to Fengyang, and His Royal Highness is here in Fumin Town, which is as stable as Mount Tai, so let the last general go to Fengyang to find General Yang!" ”
Wu Lan naturally didn't go to Fengyang to see Yang Zaixing, he had long been yearning for the mysterious iron horse under his brother's command, and he heard his brother say how powerful the iron armor chain horse was, and now that the iron horse had arrived in Fengyang, if he didn't open his eyes again, wouldn't he die a loss? What Wu Lan is thinking, Zhao Yougong can also guess a little, this kid is estimated to have been holding back in Fumin for too long, and he wants to go to Yang Zaixing's long experience. The cavalry is under the command of Wu Jue, because Wu Jue could not leave Yinzhou, so he ordered Yang Zaixing to lead the troops south, and it is not a bad thing to let Wu Ling go to see it, and Wu Ling will definitely have to join Wu Jue's command as a general in the future, and there is no harm in contacting the cavalry as soon as possible.
"Come on, you can go, but remember, don't rush forward without fighting, if you have three long and two short, this king will not be able to explain to your eldest brother."
"Yes, Your Highness, rest assured, the end will be a little better!" said that Wu Lan had already run out in a hurry, as for the guarantee he had just made, he threw it aside in a blink of an eye, when the general didn't charge into battle, was it still called a general?
There is a town thirty miles away from the south of Wuguan, called Xunxiang, since the Huaixi soldiers came to Wuguan, the people in the town ran away. It's really that the reputation of the Huaixi soldiers is too great, I heard that the thieves have passed through Luanchuan, the chickens and dogs are not left, and there are countless killings, with this murderous name, how can the people not escape? Xunxiang Town is empty, but it is cheap and high-favored, this town is within a radius of five miles, and it is easy to hide five thousand soldiers and horses. At night, a fast horse galloped to Xunxiang Township, and after reading the letter, Gao Zhong laughed.
"Give Yang Shaolie a message and ask him to leave for Shangluo tomorrow, and be sure to arrive in the south of Shangluo before noon!"
On September 25, nearly 50,000 troops of Huaixi soldiers besieged Fumin Town, and looking at Fumin Town close at hand, Wang Qing's saliva was about to flow out. Over the years, I have robbed a lot of places, but there is never a place that can compare to Fumin Town, this place is too rich, as long as you have money, what can't you buy? There is a way that gets carried away and will bring disaster. There can be no slack at any time. If Li Zhu is still alive. He will definitely remind Wang Qing at this time. Pay more attention to the rear, you can't put all your troops in Fumin Town. It's a pity that Li Zhu has died in Luoyang, and now he is followed by Wang Qing with reckless men like Duan Er Duan Wu, although Du Yi can fight, he can only be regarded as a fierce general, not even a wise general, let alone a handsome talent. Everyone only thinks about Fumin Town. didn't know that Shangluo and Wuguan behind him had changed.
At the end of the day, suddenly a group of soldiers and horses appeared under the city of Wuguan, these people held flying claws, and soon attacked the head of Wuguan City, plus Wang Qing left a total of 4,000 people in Wuguan, and was rushed by those wolf-like male soldiers, 4,000 people cried and shouted to abandon Wuguan. After Gao Pet got Wuguan, he didn't stop for a moment, and Zheng Biao led his troops to the north with all his might, and at this time he was ordered by Gao Pet. Yang Zaixing also led the cavalry out of Fengyang and arrived ten miles south of Shangluo. In the middle of noon, the two groups of men and horses joined forces in one place. With an army of nearly 8,000 troops, it was not until the capture of Shangluo that the Huaixi thieves reacted, and at this time, there were also defeated soldiers from Wuguan who fled to Wang Qing's side.
"The king is not good, the Dingguo army led the troops to raid Wuguan, and the brothers were caught off guard, and now Wuguan has been lost, and Shangluo has also been taken by the Dingguo army!"
Wang Qing was about to give the order to attack Fumin Town, and when he heard the news, he almost fainted. What are you kidding, Wuguan and Shangluo have been lost one after another, haven't they become a lone army blocked by the back road? Even if Wang Qing's military talent is not very good, he also knows how delicate the current situation is, it seems that there are tens of thousands of troops who don't have to be afraid of anything, but if they can't defeat Fumin Town and can't continue to go north, then the Huaixi soldiers can only be the turtle in the urn.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Du Yan's eyes, he looked at the direction of Shangluo behind him, and arched his hand, "Your Highness, don't think about it now, as long as we can defeat Fumin Town and continue to go north, the Dingguo Army will be helpless against us." ”
Du Yan's words, when it was the best choice at the moment, gritting his teeth, Wang Qing pulled out the treasure knife on his body and slashed it, and roared angrily, "Attack, whoever enters Fumin Town first, Lao Tzu will reward him with a thousand taels of gold, ten beauties like flowers and jade." ”
Otherwise, how to say that Wang Qing is a thief, a thief is a thief, even if the morale is mobilized, the words that come out are full of banditry, and it is just a thousand taels of gold, where do the ten flower-like beauties come from? Grab it. Relying on grabbing, it is destined to be difficult to achieve great things.
Tens of thousands of Huaixi soldiers besieged Fumin Town, and Zhao Yougong took the lead, calmly looking at the overwhelming crowd. At the beginning, under the city of Wuzhou, the Liao soldiers were much stronger than these thieves, and at that time, the Liao people couldn't help him Zhao someone, so what can these thieves do now? Qin Wang knife pointed, there was a group of men and horses bravely came out, they held a big flag, the momentum was violent, they were about to fight with the Huaixi thieves, but one by one showed fear, turned around and fled, when fleeing, the flag was thrown on the ground, looking wolf.
In other words, the Huaixi thieves are also a little blind, this is the Dingguo Army? Legend has it that the Dingguo Army didn't beat the elite of Khitan Xijing, why did they become a group of girls at this time, and they didn't even fight, so they turned around and fled?
When a thief named Da Feizi saw that the Dingguo Army had turned around and fled for his life, he suddenly came to his senses. Originally, when I heard about the battle against the Dingguo Army at the beginning, it was quite false, after all, the Dingguo Army was prestigious, and it was difficult to think about it. As soon as I fought, I found out that the Dingguo Army was this virtue, so I was afraid of a ball? Wielding a machete, Da Feizi said angrily, "Stop for Lao Tzu and send your head!" ”
Da Feizi stared at a Dingguo army and chased all the way, and the head ran unhurriedly and happened to be more than ten zhang away from Da Feizi, and after a stick of incense time, Da Feizi panted and scolded his mother, this dog's Dingguo army is too capable of running. Da Feizi decided to give up the valuable scud in front of him, he wanted to turn back, but the little head was a little unhappy, he didn't speak, I saw that the little head and body shook, and a pair of golden things fell from his crotch, and then Da Feizi's eyes immediately straightened.
Gold leaves, jade hairpins? Damn, as soon as he saw these things, Da Feizi roared, and he didn't know where he got the strength, and pounced again, but this time he didn't pounce on the little capital, but dared to run the little capital, knelt on the ground and stuffed those gold leaves into his arms. The little man ran away, looked back at Da Feizi and scolded secretly, "There is a master who wants money and doesn't want to die, and His Highness's strategy is too poisonous." ”
Da Feizi got a windfall here, and many Huaixi thieves also got a lot of benefits, some picked up silk, some picked up agate, and for a time the morale of the Huaixi thieves was high, chasing those Dingguo soldiers and running around. Now the Huaixi thieves are only thinking about how to benefit from those Dingguo troops, and they forget about Fumin Town in front of them for a while. A big drama surrounded on all sides and ambushed on all sides finally became chaotic due to the greed of the Huaixi thieves. At first, the soldiers of the Dingguo Army just fled back, and after a while they began to run around, some to the left and some to the right, this time they led those Huaixi thieves to collide together, a horse of silk was dropped, and more than a dozen thieves came up to rob it.
"Let go, this is what Lao Tzu saw first, you let go, and then don't let go, Lao Tzu chopped you!" (To be continued......)
