Chapter 186: To Run or Not to Run
After more than three months, the husband and wife were finally reunited. Guo Yi specially held a small celebration dinner, and the generals made a drinking order, sang toasting songs, and had a lot of fun. The dinner party had just started with a stick of incense, and Cai Yan fell asleep in Guo Yi's arms.
Guo Yi motioned for everyone to continue drinking, and picked up Cai Yan and went back to the inner room to rest.
"Husband, it's a little cold." Cai Yan drilled his head into his arms, and clutched his clothes tightly with both hands, for fear that he would disappear all of a sudden.
"You've worked hard." Guo Yi kissed the tips of her hair lightly and said with a smile: "I'm very happy that you can come to me." ”
"It's all the credit of Sister Yang, and it was she who taught me how to command the troops." Cai Yan babbled about the experience along the way, her sadness and fear when Cai Yong died, the panic when the Shi clan rebelled, and the worry about the mutiny of the soldiers during the march.
Guo Yi sat on the edge of the bed with her in his arms, quietly listening to her keep talking. It is a blessing to be relied on like this, and it is also his natural responsibility.
As he spoke, Cai Yan fell asleep in his arms, and Guo Yi hummed a lullaby to comfort her.
Suddenly, Fan Xin's hurried footsteps came, his heart was beating fast, obviously something had happened. Guo Yi gently put Cai Yan down, took off her shoes, covered the quilt, and then went out to meet Fan Xin.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”
"Civil upheaval!"
The location was in Xinxiang, Guo Yi ordered everyone to stay in Chaoge, and he personally led a thousand cavalry to help overnight.
There are three types of immigrants in Xinxiang, the people of Huaixian, the people of Dangyin and Lin Filter, and the Black Mountain thieves who surrendered. They were all displaced by Guo Yi's war, and they were forced to settle in Xinxiang and build a city. There must be a lot of resentment in my heart, and it is not surprising that someone will take the opportunity to agitate.
Along the way, Fan Xin proposed that he needed to give these people some sweetness. "What the peasants want is nothing more than the words 'live and work in peace and contentment', and whoever makes them live well is destined for heaven. Our army pacified Hanoi, and it was heavily blood-indebted, and it needed a dose of fierce medicine to calm down the people's grievances. ”
"Any good advice?"
"It's nothing more than rent reduction and exemption."
"Nope." Guo Yi immediately vetoed this proposal, "If it is rent reduction and exemption, it may be able to solve the temporary trouble, but it gives them a taste of sweetness, as long as they are slightly dissatisfied, they will carry out the next civil uprising." ”
This kind of thing of making trouble on the street in order to fight for interests is something that Guo Yi has seen a lot in modern times. The workers of France did this twice in three days! The more you compromise, the faster your next street tour will come. On the last day of working four hours, there are still people who are not satisfied! Popular desires are a bottomless pit that must be controlled at the right time!
Fan Xin was embarrassed, and now the situation in Hanoi County is already stretched, "But we don't have anything else on hand to solve the civil uprising." ”
Guo Yi said: "Increase the reward and punishment mechanism!" ”
"Ahh I get it! "On the issue of internal affairs, Fan Xin can understand it at one point. Hurry up and start thinking about how to set up the system. Because once you start in Hanoi, you will be able to use it in other areas in the future.
When the sky was bright, Guo Yi arrived near Xinxiang, and Han Hao, who was in charge of supervision, greeted him.
"How's it going?"
Han Hao gritted his teeth and said, "A group of mobs! The cause was a conflict with the Black Mountain thieves, but the people were already dissatisfied, and the situation soon turned into a civil uprising. I have led the army to suppress it, and they are all nested in the fortifications. ”
Fan Xin asked, "You didn't cause too many casualties, did you?" ”
Han Hao said: "No, they are all unarmed people. After our troops lined up, except for a few who were not long-sighted, everyone else retreated for the time being. ”
"You're doing a great job." Guo Yi praised him, and it seemed that he had conscientiously studied his own guiding ideology. In the face of civil unrest, it is most important to stabilize the situation and reduce casualties. Bloody repression in this troubled era will only turn into the spark of an uprising!
"How's the system?"
Fan Xindao: "It will take a little time. We also need an opportunity to convince the people to make an announcement. ”
Guo Yi asked, "Are there any villagers or the like?" ”
Han Hao said: "Yes, I'll go find it." ”
Guo Yi climbed the hillside, looked at the situation in Xinxiang, frowned, and pointed at Yao and said, "Fan Xin, look." ”
Fan Xin looked into the distance and saw that the farmland was crisscrossed and the houses were neat and tidy, and he had already prepared for the sowing of the spring next year. I couldn't help but exclaim, "Lord, we have found a treasure!" This Han Hao is really a fucking talent! ”
Guo Yi was also very happy, he didn't expect that he had a temporary idea, and he actually got a talent, and said with a smile: "We still have some experience in Tuntian, so let's get a book to promote." ”
After a while, Han Hao came to report, "Lord, I have discussed with the mob, and the villagers are willing to come out to speak." ”
Guo Yi rode a high-headed horse to the road, all the way high-spirited, very magnificent. The other party used some simple wooden fortifications as defense, and several old men in their fifties, as well as Zhang Yan, Yu Poison and several other black mountain bandit leaders, were waiting.
Guo Yi saw it from afar, hurriedly dismounted, ordered everyone to wait in place, and walked forward quickly.
Yu Poison said in a low voice: "King, why did he come alone?" ”
Zhang Yan couldn't understand it, but he felt that this was an opportunity and sneered: "When he arrives, we will catch him and use it as a threat!" ”
About ten meters apart, Guo Yi bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Guo Yi greets the villagers." ”
The villagers were stunned, and then they also bowed their hands, and the hostility disappeared a little, "The general is polite." ”
"Go!" As soon as Zhang Yan gave the order, Yu Poison and the others rushed up with the Black Mountain Thieves, holding sticks, hoes, shovels and other farm tools in their hands, and killed Guo Yi.
"Kill yourself." Guo Yi immediately pulled out Shen Du, and the sword was unsheathed, only to see human heads flying and blood splashing everywhere. In the blink of an eye, there was only one Zhang Yan left among the more than thirty people who rushed forward. His hands had been severed, and his feet had been sliced off at waist-to-waist, and the whole thing was a human stick.
Guo Yi pointed his sword at Zhang Yan and asked with a smile, "What?" Suspicious of life? ”
"I will not let you go if I am a terrible ghost!"
"Whatever you want." After that, cut off Zhang Yan's head. Strode in front of the villagers, "Fellow villagers, the younger generation is polite." ”
The villagers had been frightened by the scene just now, and when they saw him coming, a few timid people knelt down directly and shouted for mercy. Seeing this, the others couldn't raise any sense of resistance, so they knelt down.
"Everyone, please get up." Guo Yi reached out to help an old man, but the other party was so frightened that he actually peed his pants! "Rest assured, the leader of the Black Mountain Bandits has been ambushed, and they will not harass you anymore. Fan Xin, read it to them. ”
Fan Xin ran over, held up the notice, and read aloud, "From now on, every household that cultivates more than five acres of land will reduce the rent by one percent for each additional acre, and the cultivated land will also belong to him." Those who work to build houses and repair embankments may be exempted from military service if their work is more than 90 percent. If there is a scholar who has passed the official examination, a family can be exempted from rent for one year, and the rent will be reduced by 30%. ”
A villager asked, "Will the general change his order?" ”
Guo Yi said: "I will engrave it on the stone slab, the slate will not be destroyed, and the decree will not be changed." I also ask the villagers to go back and inform the villagers. ”
"Good. Good. The villagers looked at the majestic dragoon camp, then glanced at the corpse of the black mountain thief on the ground, and then looked at Guo Yi's serious face, and nodded in agreement.
"Han Hao, this place is still managed by you. At the same time, you should also take the time to write me a report on Tuntian, summarizing your views on Tuntian in detail. If you don't understand the choice of words and sentences, or the format of the writing, you can ask the master book. ”
"Yes."
Forced by Guo Yi's military strength, the people have temporarily settled down, and as long as they can ensure food, clothing, housing, transportation and social security, they should be able to stabilize for a while.
But Guo Yi's grain and grass are in Dong Zhuo's hands, and before the harvest in Hanoi next year, he must rely on Dong Zhuo's attitude. And the threat of the Shandong princes is also a big problem, Wang Kuang will definitely find an opportunity to retake Hanoi, and must be prepared.
Back in Chaoge, Guo Yi didn't have time to sleep, so he had to continue to arrange the work of Pang De, Long San, Long Si, and Long Wu.
Pound served as the county lieutenant, responsible for the security of the whole county, and at the same time handled some overly administrative affairs. Guo Yi's current civil official position is only one Taishou, he is an official of the imperial court, and he cannot call himself a general, a state pastor, and a assassin like the princes of Shandong. I can only divide some powers from my own position.
Long San was stationed in the area of Montenegro and began to restore some production and build some fortifications to guard against attacks from Jizhou.
Since a large number of technical personnel were detained in Luoyang, Long Si took full charge of ideological and political work, and did a good job in the unity of the various units, and at the same time, it was also a matter of ideological unity among the soldiers.
Long Wu is still responsible for logistics support, and the transportation of materials in the county, the declaration and approval of various projects are all handled from him.
In the end, their work was reported to the office of Fan Xin, and after Fan Xin's review, they were reported to Guo Yi for approval. Jiao Zhongqing is responsible for being Fan Xin's deputy and assisting him in his work.
With everything arranged, Guo Yi will have less work in his hands and his work will be much easier. At the same time, he also began to consider taking Zhao Rou and others to his side. Jizhou is now the territory of the enemy, and Han Fu is a celebrity, and he has a bottom line in doing things. But the bottom line is that this thing is unreliable in troubled times, once the war is frustrated, Han Fu will take advantage of his family.
looked at the personnel arrangements of his subordinates, and he was really a little stretched. There are too few talents! Although many people were selected through the examination, most of them were detained by Dong Zhuo in Luoyang, and the rest were some small officials, embarrassed by the big responsibility.
This matter is still suspenseful, and Long San came with news that Wang Kuang took advantage of Liyang County, Wei County, crossed the Yellow River and ran to the court.
"Idiot!" Guo Yi looked relaxed, looked at the two people sitting down, and said with a smile: "Long Yi, you went to take Wang Kuangxiang's head for me." When I come back, I will give you the Dragon Bone Pill to heal your wounds. ”
Long Yi has shaved his short hair and has a flat head, but it makes him capable and resolute, adding a bit of heroism! Zi said: The parents who suffer from the skin of the body dare not damage it, and the beginning of filial piety is also. At the end of the Han Dynasty, shaving one's hair was the same as killing one's head, which was equivalent to dying once.
Not only did Ryuichi die once, but he was also beaten violently, and his ass blossomed. Elle is another girl, and she can't treat his ass. Quan and coated it with gold sore medicine, although it is a strengthened physique after taking the dragon bone pill, it will not get better in six or seven days. At this moment, he was holding on to crutches, pestle on his ass, and trembling to obey orders.
"The last general obeys!" Long Yi took the tiger talisman and walked away on crutches. The attendants did not dare to help him, but let him go.
Liyang County is only sixty miles away from Chaoge, and it is a smooth road. You can see Wang Kuang's army with a telescope, obviously because they lost their hometown, the soldiers were a little anxious, and the formation was messy. As the coach, Wang Kuang was not in the mood to rectify, and galloped anxiously.
Long Yi laughed, "Sharpen the knife and don't cut the wood!" To win a war, you must first train your army well. He was in such a hurry. I didn't even care about the formation, and by the time I got to Makino, it was already self-defeating! ”
Long Yiyi is not bad, Wang Kuangjun's sixty-mile journey is all under his control. By the time they arrived at Shili Pavilion, the 500 dragoon battalion was ready to go, the 500 pikemen were waiting with their shields, and the 500 archers were also gearing up.
When Wang Kuang's army arrived at Wuli Pavilion, the trap fortifications were in effect, and the enemy troops walking in front fell into a trench covered with spikes. caused a big mess in Wang Kuangjun's formation, and Wang Kuang himself almost fell into a trap and lost his life, but fortunately there was a war horse under his crotch and suffered a death for him.
"Huh? Cao Dog? Long Yi looked at Wang Kuangjun and there was a team behind him, which was obviously much neater and more emotionally stable, and it was Cao Cao who took the lead.
"How's Ryuzo preparing?"
The herald said, "It's done." ”
"Hmm." Long glanced at the soldiers under his hands, his own ass blossomed, he definitely couldn't go to the battlefield to charge, he could only count on them. "Who will take the head of the enemy general for me? There will be a big reward! ”
A centurion took a sip and said disdainfully: "The general looks down on people, this is a big thing, what reward do you want!" ”
Long Yi laughed, "That's fine! It's up to you to perform! ”
Wang Kuang marched to the five miles of Chaoge and prepared to set up camp. Cao Cao hurriedly dissuaded, "Don't, adults. It's a smooth road here, and there is no danger to rely on. If our army camps here, and the enemy sends cavalry to raid, our army will surely be defeated! ”
"Hmm...... Reasonable! "Wang Kuang also has some combat experience, the enemy army is right in front of him, and camping in such an open field is indeed to death. He asked, "In Mende's opinion, what should I do?" ”
What a fart! Cao Cao scolded in his heart. It's all in Makino, and in addition to fighting to the death, can there be a second option? Originally, after crossing the river in Liyang County, he should have rested for one night, reorganized his team, and then marched in with a large army to fight in Muye. If it does not win, it will return to Liyang County.
Chaoge has his back against Taihang Mountain and faces Muye. Any troops who come here, what awaits them will be the charge of the Chaoge defenders! In this kind of place, the besieging party stays for a moment longer and is a chance to be killed by the enemy to the base camp.
"For now, there is only one way to attack the city. Adults can strictly organize the team, show the flag, and strengthen the prestige of our army! ”
"Hmm!" Wang Kuang nodded in agreement, then sorted out the military formation and continued to march.
When he was less than a mile away from Chaoge, facing the majestic dragoon camp, Wang Kuang actually felt weak in his heart and subconsciously reined in his horse. Drink Ling left and right: "Who dares to be a pioneer?" ”
Before Wang Kuang's words fell, he heard Long Yiyi's order, "The whole army is attacking!" ”
The cavalry of the dragoon battalion rode with spears in hand.
Wang Kuang was shocked and immediately ordered: "Fight!" ”
The archers fired their arrows, and less than a hundred cavalry charged, followed by the infantry.
The dragoon battalion set up their shields, carried a rain of arrows, and arrived at the enemy position. There was a natural gap in the quality of the horses and cavalry of the two sides, and the dragoon battalion put down the enemy's cavalry team in one shot and slaughtered it into the enemy's formation.
Wang Kuang hurriedly ordered, "Quick! Gunners in line! Offensive cavalry! ”
Cao Cao saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Rang, Miaocai, let's go!" ”
The centurion, who had just expressed his stance in front of Long Yi, took the lead, and pointed his spear directly at Wang Kuang, "Zhang Junyi in the river is here!" The thief is coming! ”
saw a strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a somewhat ugly face in the oblique stab, and shouted, "Cao Zixiao is here!" Compete with me! ”
Wang Kuang was so frightened by this battle that he retreated again and again. On the contrary, Cao Cao rode on a horse, commanding Ruo Ding, allowing the army to attack in an orderly manner, and his short body looked extremely tall at this moment.
Not long after the two armies fought, Xiahoudun led a small team to kill the city gate.
Long Yi stretched out his hand, "Bring the bow." ”
The retinue persuaded: "The general is unwell and is not fit to fight. ”
"Less nonsense!"
The attendant had no choice but to give him the bow. The blossoming of the buttocks did affect the power of the bow. As soon as the dragon failed to pull the string, he shot an arrow. This arrow went straight to Xiahoudun's head, and his horse galloped wildly, and he didn't have time to dodge, so he stretched out his hand to block it.
The arrow passed through the palm of his hand and pierced his left eye.
"Ahh Xiahou pulled his horse with his left hand, and actually pulled out his eyeballs, shouting: "The blood of father and mother, don't abandon it!" After speaking, he swallowed the eyeball in one gulp.
Long Yi drew another arrow and aimed again, but it was aimed at Cao Cao, who was in command. The other archers fired at Xiahoudun's troops.
"Whoosh!" Hearing only the sound of breaking the sky, Cao Cao's brows jumped, and when he looked up, he saw a black shadow coming towards his head!
"Lord!" A loud shout was heard, and a large black shadow stood in front of him, and arrows pierced his shoulder armor, piercing his shoulder.
"Zilian!" The one who blocked Cao Cao's arrows was his younger brother Cao Hong.
Seeing that the dragoon battalion was already on the battlefield, Xiahoudun's plan to charge and kill the archers also failed, and he lost an eye. This battle is no longer fought!
was about to discuss with Wang Kuang to retreat, but he happened to see that the young general was facing Cao Ren's attack at the same time, a shot pierced Wang Kuang's chest, and then quickly pulled out the saber at his waist.
"Withdraw! Evacuate! "Cao Cao no longer has the slightest fighting spirit, and if he continues like this, his soldiers and horses will not be able to be saved!
Cao Ren heard the order, shook a shot, and retreated.
"Don't show your back!" The young general bent his bow and arrows, and Cao Ren fell off the horse in response!
"Zixiao !!" Cao Cao's shout was heartbreaking, this is his blood relative! When he got the news of his own army, he immediately brought money, food, soldiers and horses to serve, this was the first battle out of the mountain, and he actually died on the battlefield, which asked him Cao Mengde to explain to his clansmen!
At this time, the young general had already slapped his horse and rushed to Cao Ren's corpse, picked over the two guards, turned over and dismounted, grabbed Cao Ren's hair with one hand, cut off his head with the other, put his toes on the ground a little, and got on the horse again, and the action was done in one go!
"Poor Kou Mo Chase!" The dragon gave the order to stop the pursuit. Looking at Cao Cao, who was fleeing in the wilderness, he sneered: "Running so fast, no wonder the lord is saying, 'Say Cao Cao Cao is here', it's as fast as a rabbit!" However, Ryuzo is still waiting for you. ”
On the battlefield, the young general picked up Wang Kuang's head and shouted, "Wang Kuang is dead!" Brothers in Hanoi! Your wives and children are in the city! Why not surrender? ”
Wang Kuangjun, who was about to flee, the locals of Hanoi heard this sentence and turned around and surrendered. The Tarzan soldiers were divided into two factions, those who had families in Hanoi, or those who followed the crowd, also came to surrender. The others retreated with Cao Cao.
Cao Cao retreated to the bank of Qishui, but saw that Long San was already waiting with his troops.
Before Cao Cao could shout to retreat, a rain of arrows fell. Cao Cao was shocked and hurriedly beckoned his troops, "Quick!" Drop the baggage and leave the Tarzan soldiers alone! Evacuate! ”
Long San raised his whip and slapped the horse, "Rush!" ”
Cao Cao pulled his throat, "Run!" ”
