Chapter 487 Occupy Huiji County
Oppression and resistance are the eternal themes of human society.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance, and the more oppressive it is, the more fierce the resistance will be.
The people of Huiji County not only had to accept the rule of the government, pay taxes, bear forced labor, etc., but also serve and accept the exploitation of large households, and from time to time suffered from the invasion and attack of the local natives, and lived a very difficult life.
Although the Yellow Turban Army was oppressed in the north, his thoughts of thinking for the sake of the people were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, the resurgence of the yellow scarf immediately won the warm welcome and strong support of the people of Huiji County; More importantly, the strong strength of the Yellow Turban Army gives them a backbone; A few thousand cavalry may not be a big deal in the north, but in the south, where there are no cavalry, they have a very great deterrent effect.
Jun Sima, who was in charge of receiving the county seat, discovered the problem after receiving Juzhang County and reported it to Gao Shun and Qin Guan in time.
It turned out that those county orders who fled really fled, and in order to save their lives, they did not go to the county government; Those local tyrants who fled fled with money, food, and soldiers to Shanyin City.
Gao Shun and others estimated that they would definitely not be able to escape far with money, food and family soldiers, and the only place they could go to was Sanyin County.
Immediately sent people to other counties to inquire about the news, and sure enough, the county order and the local tyrants fled, and the local people dared to contact the Yellow Turban Army; The only one who didn't flee was Shangyu County.
Shangyu County is the only way to attack Sanyin City from the east, and if Shangyu County is not taken, there is a danger that it will be encircled.
What surprised everyone was that Shangyu County not only had local officers and soldiers and local tyrants, but also officers and soldiers sent by Taishou, and there were more than 10,000 officers and soldiers on the defensive, which was extremely difficult to overcome.
Gao Shun and Qin Guan were unwilling to cause great casualties at the beginning of the uprising, which was not conducive to recruiting troops after that, and after discussion, it was decided that after the army accepted Yuyao County and Yan County, they would not advance, and made a gesture of being blocked, taking the opportunity to stabilize the occupied territory, so that the government and local tyrants would be proud for a few days, so that he and Qin Guan could sneak into Shanyin City.
The strength of the scholars and local tyrants was strong, but after the people were agitated, the strength that broke out was not small, and only the five counties occupied before recruited 12,000 strong infantry.
The officers and men were divided into two parts and trained in Yuyao and Chengxian, respectively, and Gao Shun estimated that in a few months, they would be ready to go to war, just in time for the occupation of Wu County.
Taishou Chen Yu also sent scouts to the territory of the Yellow Turban Army to inquire about the news, and the Yellow Turban Army shocked him with its snowballing speed.
The arable land of those local tyrants was confiscated, their domestic slaves and domestic soldiers were arranged with land, and the landless people were also allocated some wasteland, and the Yellow Turban Army abolished forced labor in the area under its jurisdiction, and the tax was only 30%, which was very tempting for the people in other areas, as well as the local tyrants' family soldiers and the soldiers of the government.
This made Taishou Chen Yu feel a huge pressure, and the gap between these Yellow Turban Army and the Yellow Turban Army in the north was too great; In the past, the Yellow Turban Army was not engaged in production and could only be regarded as a rogue, but now the Yellow Turban Army is running the local area and establishing a stable regime, which is not a simple rebellion, but has become a powerful warlord.
The rogue is easy to destroy.
The warlords are difficult to get rid of, they have a stable rear, can provide a steady stream of soldiers and money and food, and they can train soldiers in the rear, so that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers far exceeds that of the rogues, and more importantly, the soldiers do not bring their families when they fight, and there is no drag from their families, which not only reduces the burden of logistics and baggage, but also allows them to fight with peace of mind.
And these Yellow Turban soldiers are well-armed, well-armed, and there are a large number of cavalry, which is definitely not something that the Yellow Turban Army can do, there must be a strong backer behind it, who will the backer be? Go without saying! There are only a handful of people in the world who have this strength.
Gao Shun still underestimated the people of the world.
At this time, he and Qin Guan disguised themselves as coachmen, and a junior civil official played the role of a merchant from Xuzhou, driving two ox carts full of money and grain and other wealth, and went to the county to take refuge in Shanyin City.
San'in Castle was very strictly defended, and everyone who entered the city was strictly inspected, and a high entrance fee was charged, 100 wen per person, 100 wen per car, and those who could not pay the money or were suspected were blocked outside the city.
Taishou Chen Yu came from Xuzhou, and the merchants of Xuzhou were highly respected, and Gao Shun and others successfully entered Shanyin City after paying copper coins according to the regulations.
Gao Shun has a heavy army in his hands, and has infiltrated the city, so he has no pressure to successfully take Sanyin City, but he just wants to avoid losses and reduce the damage to the local area as much as possible.
The intelligence officers who were lurking in advance quietly got in touch with Gao Shun and others the next day.
After getting the information in Sanyin City, such as troops, deployment, etc., Gao Shun was even more confident, less than 20,000 officers and soldiers defended the city, how much combat effectiveness could there be in a hurry?
On the same day, he discussed with Qin Guan, and in order to avoid long nights and dreams, and unexpected situations, he decided to launch an attack before dawn on the second day.
As a county rule, Shanyin City is much larger than the county seat, and it is impossible to occupy it at once, and Gao Shun intends to let Taishou and others go, and the preferred place to attack is the East City Gate, and then gradually advance, so that Taishou and others have time to escape from the West Gate.
The Chen family is a member of the Xuzhou Dashi clan, and their reputation is very high, and killing them will have a very bad impact, so it is better to let them go.
Qin Guan wanted to take Shanyin City as soon as possible and have a stable rear base, so he suggested that Gao Shun directly release the 800 trap camp at the east city gate, and use them to charge forward, and the officers and soldiers would be powerless to stop it.
Gao Shun adopted this suggestion, and when it was almost dawn the next day, he released the officers and soldiers of the Batun trapping camp, and after seizing the city gate, Gao Shun released another 2,000 senior infantry, and under the leadership of Qin Guan, rushed into the city with the trapping camp, and went straight to the barracks, leaving another 1,000 junior infantry to firmly control the city gate.
Gao Shun went out of the city, and released 5,000 junior infantry and 3,000 junior cavalry outside the city, let them enter the city to support the Qin Pass battle, and went to the Taishou Mansion to expel the Taishou.
He also sent 2,500 high-ranking cavalry to bypass the city wall from the east gate and go to the west gate, so that after the Taishou fled, the west gate could be blocked to prevent other local tyrants from escaping with their belongings.
Five hundred junior cavalry and one thousand junior infantry were sent at the south and north gates, respectively.
The GI suddenly pressed the realm and caught Taishou off guard.
Through the huge shouts outside the east gate and the huge sound of horses' hooves outside the city, it was known that there were many enemies, and then there was a sound of battle at the barracks, and then there was a huge sound of horses' hooves in the city, which made Taishou panic in his heart, San'in City was conquered, and if he did not escape, he would be killed.
didn't care about packing up his belongings, Taishou Chen Yu only brought less than 100 personal guards, and fled from Shanyin City in a hurry.
There is no unified command of the officers and soldiers, the city gate has been breached, and it has been divided and surrounded, and the officers and soldiers have lost the will to resist, besides, the Yellow Turban Army is the army of the people, even if it is defeated and surrendered, it will not harm them, who will resist desperately?
Successfully took Shanyin City, except for Shangyu County, other places only need to send officials to receive it, without resistance.
The four counties of Zhuji, Yuji, Wusheng and Taimo were successfully received.
It was also the traditional means of the Yellow Turban Army, where the land of the local tyrants was confiscated, distributed to the landless people, recruited soldiers, reduced taxes, exempted from forced labor, etc.
It's just that what the Yellow Turban Army did, swearing to be the enemy of the world's corporal clans and local tyrants, created a lot of obstacles for future development.
Gao Shun sits in San'in City and stabilizes the place.
Qin Guan was impatient to lead 2,500 senior cavalry, 3,000 junior cavalry, 5,000 junior infantry and 2,000 senior infantry into Wu County.
The counties of Wu County didn't expect the Yellow Turban Army to come so fiercely and so quickly, and they responded to the battle in a hurry, how could they be opponents?
Within five days, Qinguan connected the three cities, and Qiantang County, Yuhang County, and Fuchun County were successfully occupied, becoming the northern barrier of Huiji County, so that he could manage Huiji County with peace of mind.
