However, Yiyang County is located in a different geographical location, compared to Fenglingdu, it is separated by Xin'an County, so the news of their defeat should not be transmitted quickly, if they go at this time, they can completely deceive the city gate before the bad news reaches the county seat.

The others hesitated, but finally came to a unanimous agreement, and all agreed with the little school's suggestion. Now, all the troops in Luoyang Mansion have left the city, and they are not frightened by the sudden appearance of the cavalry of the other party without a fight.

Naturally, these officers were well aware of the situation. Now, even if they managed to gather the remaining van army, they ended up with less than four thousand men. There are fewer people, but the other side is still those cavalry, and there is no possibility of defeating these unknown enemies at all.

For the sake of now, these officers and the remaining Xiang army can only take the advice of the colonel in their entirety, and as for Yiyang County, which will be robbed next, this pot can be thrown on those hungry people.

At that time, it would be good for the magistrate of Yiyang County not to come forward, and once he came forward in person, these officers would not mind killing the county magistrate at all.

After they discussed, they understood that they had gathered the team that had run away, and quickly marched towards Yiyang County.

Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with the rapid changes.

When they arrived outside the county seat of Yiyang County, it was noon, but even if they shouted through their throats, let alone open the city gate for them, they couldn't even see a ghost shadow above the city investment.

A brother who was so brave that he tried to climb up the city wall with a hook, but as soon as he tried to approach the wall, an arrow flew down from the top of the city, and shot the brother through the wall, and pierced him directly through his choked throat, and before he could even scream in time, he died in front of everyone. But these people didn't even see clearly where this feather arrow came from.

Seeing this scene, the rest of the generals were dumbfounded, didn't they say that Yiyang County didn't know the situation? Why don't you even ask a question now, and just start fighting?

It turned out that their own people leaked the news about this matter.

After the collapse of these Xiang troops, many people did not dare to return to Luoyang City, and felt that Xin'an County was too close to Fenglingdu, so many people directly crossed Xin'an County and went straight to Yiyang County.

Recently, although the hungry people who passed by the Yellow River in Hedong went straight to Bianliang City, the officials of the counties near Luoyang City were not fools, and they knew some news more or less, so they naturally ordered their subordinates to strictly guard the city gates, and resolutely not let a hungry person enter their county seat.

On the one hand, he ordered the county lieutenant to personally lead the Xiang army of Yiyang County to guard the north gate, and on the other hand, he issued notices to the towns and villages under the county to recruit hunters and archers into the county seat.

This prefectural magistrate is also a man of insight, and he has already seen from the consistent style of these rulers of the current dynasty that things will develop in the future. He had already expected that no matter what the reason was, those Zaifu on the spot would definitely not be as stupid as Wang Anshi to watch the hungry people enter Bianliang City to eat together, so they would definitely send forbidden troops to stop them.

Once the hungry people who fled all the way from Hedong Road were blocked by the forbidden army, when these people had no way forward and felt that there was no way to survive, and the people sent by the imperial court did not handle it properly, such as what Zheng Xia did when he went to Hebei to deal with the locust plague, this time it is very likely that a larger riot or even a rebellion will break out than in Hebei.

You must know that the people faced by the forbidden army this time are not the sheep that they drove away at will in the past, but the angry fire buckets, Wang Anshi's armor protection law is very poor, but these people at the end of the road have a certain ability to protect themselves.

The places where the Baojia Law is implemented, not only Hebei Zhulu, Northwest Zhulu, and Hedong Road are the top priorities in the implementation of the Baojia Law.

Protecting armor, that is, the township soldiers are also.

Because Wang Anshi was too careless and stubborn when he implemented the armor protection law. Therefore, in the process of implementation, 'it is enough to trap the people, but it is not beneficial to the army', which is the most realistic evaluation of the armor protection law by people of insight in that era.

However, there is an important fact that both those who implement the new law and those who oppose it ignore it. Although the Baojia in the northwest, Hedong and Hebei regions has killed countless people, it has also given the people in these regions a certain ability to protect themselves. Especially in Cangzhou, Hebei and other regions, during the Ming Dynasty, it was the famous hometown of martial arts, and the reason for this is that there are also some credits of Wang Anshi's armor protection method.

Therefore, once these hungry people will definitely fight back in order to seek their own chance of survival, then the occurrence of rebellion has become their final and inevitable choice. The counties around Luoyang Province and the Gyeonggi counties in the west of Bianliang will also become the first targets of these hungry people who are about to rebel.

However, this county magistrate knows very well that when these words are spoken, who will believe the alarmist words of their sesame mung bean officials? If, if he had put his speculations on the court, the rulers of the dynasty would not have paid attention to his retribution until a large-scale rebellion broke out as he had predicted, and if a rebellion had occurred, his retribution would not only not be rewarded in any way, but would have become evidence of his crimes.

How Tian Feng died, anyone who has read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows it.

Yuan Shao is not the only one who has the shortcoming of being wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, there are actually very few monarchs or officials who can really listen to the opinions of their subordinates or sincerely admit their mistakes afterwards.

Advice has always been against the ear, and good medicine has always been bitter.

At this time, what this magistrate can do is what he must do, that is, to complete his duties as the magistrate of Yiyang County, and to protect the people of a county in this catastrophe is already very commendable.

As a result, as soon as the defeated army that fled to Yiyang County in a panic entered Yiyang County, they were arrested by the county lieutenant who had been guarding the gate of Yiyang County and personally commanding the army.

At that time, except for the forbidden army in Bianliang City, the other armies did not have uniform clothing at all, not to mention, these van troops were not even as good as slaves, but the county lieutenant still saw their identities from their words and deeds. What's more, although these people are here to join their relatives, after all, they are strangers, and those old oilmen who guard the city gate are not strong in other skills, but they can tell whether these people are those farmers who often come to the county town to sell things.

After getting the news of the defeat of the Luoyang City Xiang Army, the county commander immediately issued a martial law order throughout the county, so these Xiang troops who wanted to come over and deceive the city gate would encounter this scene in front of them.

The magistrate of Yiyang County has already issued a death order, and at this time, no one can open the city gate for them. If anyone dares to approach the city wall, as long as there is an attempt or tool to climb the wall, they will be killed.

When these box soldiers called the door, the county lieutenant pressed the captured box soldiers to hide at the head of the city to identify the people in front of the city gate. As soon as I heard that these people under the city were the van troops in Luoyang City who were frightened by the hungry people, leaving aside the county lieutenant and the magistrate, even these recruited archers and hunters who guarded the city under their command knew that these people were more terrible than those hungry people.

Once they are allowed to enter the city, the consequences are unimaginable.

Therefore, these people didn't even say hello, and shot the box army with a hook in their hands with an arrow.

Just when these generals of the Xiang army were helpless, the little colonel who had offered the plan before stood up again, and he said: "Everyone, seeing Yiyang County's behavior like this, they must have taken precautions, according to my guess, it was the previous deserter who exposed our identity." From this point of view, wanting to take Yiyang County is tantamount to a fool's dream. ”

"So what are we going to do?"

"Yes, there are no weapons, no food, and if we continue like this, we will not even be able to keep our brothers."

This is a very real problem, the box army that they have finally gathered together, once they see that they have nothing to do, after today, the only remaining dry food will be eaten, and once it is tomorrow, the hearts of the people will be scattered.

When the hearts of the people are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team. These people will definitely flee again, and when that time comes, these middle- and low-level generals will also become bare-knuckle commanders.

"If we can't deceive us, we have to come hard!" The little colonel said gloomily.

"What do you mean by that?" A few of the more naïve military attachés asked.

"Humph! What does that mean, don't you understand? He said that we people now have only one way to attack the city. ”

"What, let's not say that doing so is tantamount to rebellion, now, Yiyang County has been prepared, and we people have no weapons in our hands, so attacking the city like this is simply going to die!"
