Dong'e County, Dongjun County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although due to the influence of Wu Yi, the uprising of Taiping Dao was more hasty than in history, but for Cheng Wangdu, a county in Dong'e County, who had already joined Taiping Dao, since the great virtuous and good teacher raised the yellow flag to launch an uprising, it was inevitable that he would be favored by the great virtuous and good teacher.
Wang Du took advantage of his position to take hundreds of Taiping Taoist followers lurking in the city and broke into the warehouse in Dong'e County. First of all, the armor and weapons that were originally left for the county garrison were given to these Taiping Taoist people who held wood as soldiers, and then a group of people took out the yellow scarves prepared in advance and wrapped them around their foreheads, and set a fire in this warehouse, shouting the slogan 'The sky is dead and the yellow sky should stand', and killed the county government of Dong'e County.
Although Dong'e County is also a relatively large county in Dong'e County, the garrison in the city is only a little more than a thousand. In the middle of the night, only half of the garrison of about 1,000 people was still on duty at night, and these hundreds of people were still scattered in six places: the four city walls, the military camps in the city, and the county government. Although the total number of these Taiping Dao brought by Wang Du was less than half of the garrison, but at this moment, it was like a clenched fist smashing a finger, and the garrison in the county government only did a dying struggle and was drowned in the sea of people, fortunately, the county commander Wei Han reacted in time, and in a hurry, he also took the carriage in the county office, and escaped from Wang Du's pursuit from the back door of the county government with his family.
When the war was in chaos, the people in the county were all awakened. Originally, I heard that the leader of the Yellow Turban Army of Taiping Road was in Dongjun County, and I never thought that my own county Cheng was also a member of Taiping Dao, Wang Du's rebellion and the county order Wei Han's escape without a fight, so that the frightened people in the county and the remaining garrisons fled from Simen Dong'e County, and after Wang Du killed all the soldiers who resisted in the county, he found that Dong'e County, which he had taken after a fight, had become an empty city.
With his hundreds of troops, it was difficult to cover the four walls of Dong'e County, and Wang Du was worried that he would not be able to hold Dong'e County in the next imperial counterattack, so he led the army to abandon the county seat and go to the Taipingdao Qu Shuai Yu of Dongjun.
If it is the original history, Taiping Dao revolted at the end of February, and when Wang Du complied in mid-March, he would meet Cheng Yu, who was returning to his hometown to visit relatives. But because of Wu Yi's influence over the years, Taiping Dao was forced to rush into trouble at the end of January, and Cheng Yu had just finished dealing with the government affairs accumulated during the New Year's Festival, and he faced the Yellow Turban Daqu Shuai Bocai, who had rolled up nearly 100,000 thieves in the land of Yuzhou. Although he also misses his family in Dong'e County, Cheng Yu, as the county magistrate of Changshe County, has the responsibility to defend the land, but it is difficult to return to Dong'e.
Lacking a resourceful person like Cheng Yu, the county ordered the people of Dong'e County, who fled to the county to rebel and have no leader, could only hide in the mountains, forests and countryside outside the county seat, and at the same time send people to ask for help from the county guard in Puyang, the seat of the East County Governor.
In the Puyang County Guard's Mansion, Dongjun County Guard Qiao Mao was sitting on the main seat with a sad face.
The word Yuanwei is the son of Qiao Xuan, the Taiwei of the Dynasty. It used to be the history of Yanzhou Thorn, and later because the Son of Heaven Liu Hong sold the official and sold the lord, the Qiao family took out a large amount of money to keep the position of the head of the family, Qiao Xuan's position as the captain, due to lack of funds, Qiao Mao's Yanzhou Thorn History throne was bought by Liu Dai, the clan of the Han family, and Qiao Mao had no choice but to come to Dongjun to be the Taishou of a county.
Originally, according to the Qiao Mao plan, he would accumulate a good sum of money in Puyang, and then use his old man who was a lieutenant to operate and drive the damn Liu Dai from power to regain the position of Yanzhou Assassin.
But the so-called plan can't catch up with the changes, when the Confucian Chen Yu sent a letter to ask Qiao Mao to join forces to deal with Taiping Dao, Qiao Mao mercilessly refused on the grounds of using swords and soldiers to work hard and hurt money. As a result, now that Taiping Road has been revealed, Yanzhou's two small square canal marshals, Bian Xi and Yu Poison, have all started trouble in their own East County. Letters of help have come from all the townships and counties in Dong County, and now even Dong'e County, a rare fortified city in Dong County, has fallen due to the rebellion of the county Cheng Wangdu.
"Damn Wang Du, this official is going to play the Son of Heaven and behead him all over the house!!" Qiao Mao slammed the Dong'e County Request for Help in his hand to the ground, and while he was still angry, he took out the sword at his waist and slashed it in the air, as if he could kill the traitor Wang Du on the spot.
Although the county officials who were standing on the left and right of Qiao Mao were also angry at Wang Du's rebellion, they had no time to accompany Qiao Mao, the second generation of officials, to vent their anger, so they got up and left their seats to bow to Qiao Mao: "Lord Qiao, Dong'e County is a rare fortified city in this county, and it is also a battleground for Puyang to defend against the Yellow Turban thieves. Although Wang Du has temporarily taken this city, it is the best time for us to retake Dong'a when its foothold is not stable. ”
Although such a staff member's suggestion seems to be very good, Qiao Mao does not intend to take it: "All the sergeants in Puyang City, excluding the old and weak, I am afraid that there are less than four thousand. But the two thieves in Dongjun, Yu Poison and Bian Xi, have tens of thousands of thieves under their command? If the troops are divided to attack Dong'e at this moment, if they encounter the main forces of Yu Poison and Bian Xizhong, not only will Dong'e not be able to take it back, but I am afraid that even Puyang, the official of his own office, will be difficult to preserve. Haven't you heard of it? Those Taiping Dao hated the court officials and family members like Benguan the most, how could this official be like Zhang Miao, the county guard of Chen Liujun, and die at the hands of these lowly moths? ”
The county guards of their own country spared their lives so much, and they missed the opportunity to recapture Dong'a, which made the staff of the county guards quite helpless. One of them heard Qiao Mao mention the death of Zhang Miao in Chenliujun, and suddenly thought that there didn't seem to be any Taiping Dao moth thieves in Chenliujun now, so why didn't he find Chenliujun to send rescuers to help?
"My lord, Chen Liuyin was killed by Zhang Miao, the county guard, and the school captain Fan Xiang led the army to clear many Taiping Dao strongholds in the territory, and I heard that even the head of the Bian Xi thieves in my Dong County escaped from Chen Liu. Because of this, there is no big Yellow Turban Moth thief force in Chenliu today, and there are thousands of elite soldiers in Chenliu City who have defeated Bian Xi. Then since the adults feel that Dongjun is in danger, why don't you send someone to Chen Liucheng to ask Na Fan Xiang to lead troops to help suppress the thieves? ”
Qiao Mao strode towards the staff member with his saber and grabbed his arm: "Now that the army is in chaos, is that Fan Xiang willing to come to the rescue of my Dongjun?" ”
The man cautiously pushed Qiao Mao's saber to the side: "Zhang Miao, the county guard of Chenliu County, was killed, and your lord mobilized Fan Xiang to lead the army to aid in the name of the county guard of Dongjun. When there was no major crisis in Chen Liujun, if he didn't come, it would be the crime of disrespecting the order and bullying the officials, and he didn't dare to come. ”
"Good! In this way, he drove the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in the territory to my Dong County to cause a scourge, and it was only natural for him to lead the army to help me put down the rebellion. If Chen left thousands of soldiers to help, even if he could not regain the lost territory, Puyang would not be lost. ”
Qiao Mao was overjoyed, put his sword into the sheath, walked quickly to his desk, took out a piece of cloth and wrote the order to transfer troops. Qiao Mao is not interested in recovering the lost territory and destroying the thief, his greatest wish is to ensure his own safety, and not end up in a miserable situation like Zhang Miao.
