Chapter 286: (Wei Xiao Rebellion)

On May 20 of the second year of Fengtian, Wei Xiao, a person from Xindu in Hebei, rebelled into a dynasty, established himself as the king of Wei of the Han Dynasty, gathered 20,000 troops, captured the city of Xindu, and on the 10th, he went down to Piyang, Guangchuan, and Lixian in three places, and collected nearly 50,000 soldiers, coercing the people of Xindu, and conquering the city for it.

At this time, Hebei has restored its former prosperity after the fall of Yuan Jingchu and Yuan Long, Wei Xiao is a descendant of Wei nobles during the Warring States Period, and his ancestors moved to Xindu County, and at this time he raised troops to create Shangguan Yin Feng's rebellion, which is also the masterpiece of the Han envoy.

After learning that there was a group of people in Hebei who did not accept the jurisdiction of the Cheng Dynasty, he sent an envoy with his seal from the governor of Qingzhou to lobby Wei Xiao and others, and Wei Xiao happily agreed to the request of the Han envoy under the temptation of the title of King of Wei, and immediately rebelled.

I have to introduce here, Wei Xiao was originally Yuan Shiying's people, after the fall of the Yuan family, Shangguan Yin Feng dismissed most of the Yan army, including Wei Xiao, and Wei Xiao did not become a civilian, he was ordered to lead an army of 3,000 to garrison Xindu, of course, the defense of Xindu Mansion is not his own decision, there is a person above him that everyone knows, that is, Shen Lang who died of serious illness, after Shen Lang's death, the defense of the river and Xindu were both supervised by the Wei general Chai Shangdu, and Xindu was only one hundred and fifty miles away from Cangzhou, where Chai Shang was stationed, The cavalry could go back and forth in one day, and the foot soldiers could reach it in two days on a rapid march.

Chai Shang since he became the Northern Expedition grain officer, basically bid farewell to the war, the only time that can be regarded as a brilliant record is the battle between the rivers, and He Qing led the troops to support Shangguan Yin Feng, and successfully killed the sacrifice, although he was not the main force, but at least it was the best he did after the He Jing period.

Originally, Chai Shang had 100,000 grain troops in Cangzhou, but after going south, most of them were transferred by Shangguan Yin Feng, and only 40,000 people were stationed in Cangzhou, but fortunately, there were Yuntai generals such as Jia Fu stationed in Beiping City in the north of Xindu, and there were troops of Liaodong Governor and Liaoyang Marquis Chen Cheng in Zhuangzhou in the west, so from the beginning of Wei Xiao's rebellion, Chai Shang was still very confident in counterinsurgency.

However, what Chai Shang never expected was that the combat effectiveness of this rebel army was extremely fierce, and the tactics used were different from those of the Han army, and it was rumored in the army that this tactic was left by the Wei general Pang Juan during the Warring States Period, especially the chariot array with a sharp knife sprint, which made Chai Shang, who had not fought with the chariot array for many years, defeated and left, and Shangguan Yin Feng's proud arrow array was quite weak in front of Wei Xiao's army.

In this battle, Chai Shang lost more than 10,000 soldiers, more than 7,000 people were captured, and he himself was shot in the chest by a stray arrow in the battle, and retreated with serious injuries.

Ye County, Shangguan Yin Feng camp

In addition to Zhang Shou's cunning schemes, the most annoying thing for Shangguan Yin Feng today is the news of Wei Xiao's rebellion, the fall of Xindu Mansion, and Chai Shang's serious injury.

"Lord Wang, why don't you urgently dispatch Jinan's soldiers and horses north to suppress the enemy?" Huang Wei asked tentatively.

After the day before yesterday, Shangguan Yin Feng scolded him, and he did not issue any orders yesterday, and he called a gathering of generals early this morning, and after receiving this news, all the generals were shocked.

"Chen Cheng is sitting in Zhuangzhou, he can't be mobilized, Youbeiping is frequently watched by Wuhuan and the Huns and can't act, the mobile force is only Chai Shang, and now he is also injured..."Shangguan Yin Feng frowned and looked at the map, and then ordered: "Pass the order, order Liang Huan to be the envoy, and lead 30,000 horses and horses to set off from Jinan immediately, and go to Xindu to assist Chai Shang to quell the rebellion." ”

"No..."

"Lord Wang, now Zhang Shou has fled, but the forward tells him that his army is still in Wanlisha, what Pingxiang Hou said is true, it seems that Zhang Bu really wants to fight a decisive battle with our army in Wanlisha, but now the movement of Zhang Bu's army is unknown, does our army take the initiative to attack?" Cao Zhen, as a forward general, was quite annoyed by Zhang Shou who fled Wanlisha, the terrain of Wanlisha is complicated, if his lone army rashly advances, I am afraid that he will be ambushed, but the key point of this battle is that Zhang Bu's army, which has not appeared.

Shangguan Yin Feng stood up, looked at the map, shook his head and said: "Actually, this king is not worried about Zhang Bu, this person is so happy, and this king is famous, he will never dare to go alone, so the most important thing for this king in this battle is Zhang Lan..."

Shangguan Yin Feng himself has absolute confidence in this battle, but he is used to sneak attack battles, night battles, for this kind of large-scale anti-encirclement war, except for one time with Yuan Shijie in Yanshan, he has never experienced it, and Yuan Shijie is also because of the enemy's light advance, at that time, the soldiers of Yan Guo took advantage of the aftermath of the Yanshan War, and their morale was like a rainbow, and Shangguan Yin Feng's whole army was only 50,000, which was completely a small victory with more, even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and it was nothing more than that.

And now, Zhang Bu and other red-eyed thieves are different, the history records that this person is insidious and cunning, scheming, and so happy, greedy for fame and profit, is this kind of person, but also after Liu Xiu became the emperor for a long time before he was killed, it can be regarded as a generation of conspirators, many modern scholars believe that Zhang Bu can survive in the troubled times of the late Western Han Dynasty for so long, and survive in the cracks, his own strength can not be denied, but it is a pity that his opponent is a monarch who has opened the hanging, if it is Liu Xuan's kind of person, maybe Zhang Bu himself can really establish the state of Qi in Langya, Self-reliance is not necessarily.

However, after Liu Xiu's death, his opponent was a person who traveled through time and built an arquebus at least a thousand years in advance.

"If the battle is fought like this, it is estimated that this king will not be able to calm the war in Shandong even at the end of this year, so this king still decides to surprise the soldiers..."Shangguan Yin Feng looked around at the generals in the tent, in addition to Cao Zhen, Huang Wei, Li Yanqing and other veterans, there were only Liang Xi, Liang Qiu and other new generals: "This king decided, lead 5,000 elite cavalry, Huang Botao with a musket team, 10,000 foot soldiers, set off tonight, detour to Yu Zhi, enter Jiaodong country, this king has an intuition, Zhang Lan's department is near Jiaodong Tianmur Mountain. ”

"Report..."A brocade guard walked into the big tent, clasped his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, Tiqi is here to report, Zhang Bu's army has crossed the Lai River, and it is only twenty miles away from Yuzhi County. ”

Jin Yiwei retreated, and Shangguan Yin Feng showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then strengthened his intuition: "If Zhang Bu didn't reach Yu Rank, this king's intuition may be wrong, but Zhang Bu really arrived as promised, which means that this king's intuition is not wrong, Zhang Lan's department is in the northeast, in the area of Tianmur Mountain, maybe closer to Ye County... The herald said that after the king left, Li Yanqing controlled the whole army, Cao Zhen was the deputy general, and we met the army in Wanlisha to annihilate the red-eyed thieves. ”

"Yes..."
