Chapter 33: The Rebellion
When Minding carried the wounded soldiers past Chen Xu's team, a large army of forbidden soldiers and horses marched towards this side.
At first, the team didn't pay attention, they were all dressed in Wei Jun's clothes and armor, and they looked like friendly troops, but the more than 30 friendly soldiers didn't do anything, and it was really strange to be "watching the play".
Among them, a military general came out of the ranks, riding a horse and holding the reins in his hand, and asked, "Whose soldiers are you?"
He was asking Chen Xu where they came from.
Chen Xu said on the side: "We are the men and horses under the command of Beiyang Town Army Xu." Chen Xu didn't say Xu Degong's name, looking at their appearance, they should be the men and horses of the forbidden army, and the name of a commander may not be known.
"When did the Beiyang Town Army become so rich, and there were more than twenty horses in a team?" The military general who asked asked asked in confusion.
"These horses were on the march when they met Li Gu, a scholar of Jixian Pavilion and a minister of Taiyuan Prefecture, who heard about my deeds in the Battle of Gaoping, and presented them with war horses and rewarded me." Chen Xu replied.
"Could it be that you are Chen Xu who single-handedly attacked the Central Army of the Northern Han Dynasty?!" The general was surprised.
"Exactly down there." Chen Xu replied. I didn't expect to be so famous now.
Most of the low-level soldiers don't know anything about strategy, but the deeds of Chen Xu, who single-handedly fought thousands of troops and horses, are all happy to hear, can inspire the army, and are widely spread. Chen Xu would not know that he was already famous in the army, and even with the low temperature fermentation of time, his deeds would become more and more known.
"You didn't say it sooner." The military general looked at Chen Xu for a while, as if he wanted to see clearly how the peerless fierce general of the 10,000 enemies looked different from ordinary people. Then, he turned and walked towards the center of the group.
At this time, a general in front of a group of horsemen rode over, and he had already heard the conversation between his subordinates and Chen Xu. This general is tall, has a square face, and is very burly. He was looking at Chen Xu.
"Are you Chen Xu?" The general asked.
"Exactly!" Chen Xu said.
"Haha! Sure enough, it is a talent, a hero among people! The general laughed and said, "You should be the first to win the battle of Gaoping so quickly!" ”
"Oh, yes. I forgot to tell you, my name is Ma Yi, and I am now the former military supervisor of the Hedong Xingying Camp. Ma Yi said.
Chen Xu can't figure out the official position of Wei until now, the five generations of expeditions, years of war, the emperor has changed five surnames, and the regime is overlooked, and he doesn't understand these complicated positions, and he is only familiar with the positions of middle and low-level generals.
"The general knows what's next?" Chen Xu asked.
"You know, I was there when Your Majesty saw you, but your face was covered with blood. I didn't recognize you for a while. Ma Yi smiled, looked at him carefully, and then said, "Do you want to return to the team like this?" But this time, your Beiyang Zhenjun suffered a lot of losses in Gaoping and Jinyang, and even your commander Zhang Ding was seriously injured, who are you looking for? ”
"I think so, you go with me to reinforce King Wei first, and after the fight, I will take you to see Your Majesty. Your Majesty is full of praise for you. ”
"Your Majesty sent Wei Wang Fu Yanqing to defend against the Rouran army in Xinzhou in the north, the troops are not enough, Wei Wang sent people to ask Your Majesty for help, Ben will be ordered to go north, are you willing to go with me?"
Chen Xu readily agreed, "Dare not obey!" ”
It is much better to go to Xinzhou for reinforcements than to besiege Jinyang, Chen Xu is nothing, he will be injured, but he will not die. But these soldiers under his command are not necessarily, he can't control the others, but these people under his hands, he can't let them die here in vain. Could it be that they stayed here to climb the Jinyang city wall, and didn't see the unrecognizable wounded soldiers who had just been burned by the oil? "Supreme" enjoyment!
In comparison, reinforcing Xinzhou is really a good errand!
Ma Yi's army totaled more than 3,000 people, including hundreds of horsemen, and the rest were all infantry. The cavalry was in front, while the infantry in the rear marched in columns on the main road in a line of four.
The army marched during the day and camped at night, and when they reached about noon the next day, they came across a village on the way.
The army stopped on the way, and the village in front of them was very ordinary, with a few big trees planted between the houses at the head of the village, and the houses were scattered and dilapidated, and it looked like an ordinary and not wealthy village.
But at this time there was a riot of soldiers from the village, a few of them still with blood on their bodies, driving a cart drawn by mules, with large bags and small bags on them, and a few weeping women tied up. Needless to say, seeing this scene, everyone could immediately understand what this gang of rebels had just done.
These chaotic soldiers are all in the style of the Wei army's clothes and armor, and now the Xinzhou guards have surrendered to the Wei State, and the entire Xinzhou is the controlled area of the Wei State, and there are only the Wei army's men and horses.
Needless to say, these people are undisciplined rebels, robbing people's wives and daughters, and robbing people and goods.
"A bunch of scum!" Ma Yi scolded, waved his hand and ordered the horsemen to move left and right, and it didn't take long to surround this group of rebels. And this group of rebels who were outflanked by the elite cavalry, all with their heads bowed, hung their heads down, and did not dare to resist.
Ma Yi was about to give the next order, when a general beside him spoke: "My lord, this place belongs to Xinzhou, and Xinzhou is the men and horses of my Wei army. These rebels do not belong to our department, and it is not appropriate for the lord to punish them personally. The rebels should be put at the disposal of their superiors, and the women and their looted finances should be repatriated to the villages. ”
Ma Yi's anger subsided for a while, spat on his spit, and asked, "Who are you underground centaurs?"
The group of dejected rebels lowered their heads and replied in a low voice, "We are Lin Zhaoyuan......"
Before he could finish speaking, the sound of horses' hooves "stomping" came from the north.
The crowd went with the prestige, and after a while, a team of horsemen rode up, and the leader was impressive. This person was extremely tall, more than two meters tall according to the unit of measurement of later generations, with broad shoulders and thick arms, more than one size larger than ordinary people, and looked like a moving iron tower in the crowd.
When he walked in, looking at his face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was slaughtered, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.
Ma Yi opened his mouth first, he stepped forward and arched his hand: "I didn't expect to see Lin Xianfeng here!"
The military general named Lin Xianfeng was very arrogant, tilted his head, and replied: "General Ma."
Ma Yi then said: "Brother Lin, this time our army attacked the Northern Han Dynasty, all the way like a bamboo, has attacked the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty Jinyang, more than 100,000 troops gathered here, but many of our army during this period of military discipline is sloppy, and there are occasional cases of sergeants robbing local residents, looting property, and abducting women. As a result, the local officers and soldiers in Hedong defended themselves, and the supply of grain and grass could only be transported by labor in the territory, and the support of the people in Hedong could not be obtained. Your Majesty has decreed that the ministries should no longer plunder the people and oppress the villagers. But these soldiers under your ground are still doing such things in the wind, it's really ......."
Before he finished speaking, Ma Yi's words were interrupted by Lin Xianxian's "hum".
This Lin Xianxian's attitude was arrogant, and he didn't take Ma Yi, who was also a senior general of the forbidden army, in his eyes, and he didn't buy it.
