CHAPTER VII REBELLION 4
Zhang Hao thought about it carefully, Yang Wenjun said that there were three great families who rebelled together, but now there are only two family dynamics, could it be that the 20,000 horses that lured Captain Yan Yan were the people of Zhang Ji's family. Of course, Zhang Hao didn't know these families as well as Pan Fu, and of course Zhang Hao didn't know that Zhang Ji's family would not have such a great ability to lead out 20,000 horses bait. So he asked Yang Wenjun: "Then Yang Gongzi ......" Yang Wenjun seemed to see Zhang Hao's thoughts, so he responded: "It's okay for adults to call me Wenjun." But the adults want to ask me about the Zhang family of Wuyang? "Indeed, if you say the same, the Captain Yan Yan who is trapped outside the city is from the Zhang clan?" "My lord thinks highly of Zhang Ji, if my guess is right, Zhang Ji's men and horses must be the first team to go all out to capture Chengdu City. Zheng De's ambition will not be shared with anyone. Judging from the 20,000 horses trapped Captain Yan, Zheng De began to prepare early, and those 20,000 people should have passed from Mianzhu little by little, calculating the time, it should be after General Chen went to Hanzhong, Zheng De started to act, and then when the time came, it suddenly broke out, so there is no doubt that those 20,000 people should be the Zheng family. Originally, Zheng De wanted Zhang Ji to wait until the Zheng clan broke the Mianzhu and attack Chengdu together, but the Zheng clan deceived so many defenders in the city, and after Zhang Ji learned about it, he would definitely not want to leave this great opportunity to Zheng De, he would send troops in advance and want to take the city, so that Zhang Ji would no longer have to bow to Zheng De. Zhang Ji thought that after taking Chengdu City, Zheng De couldn't take him, so he still had a bargaining chip to be on an equal footing with the Zheng family. But he didn't know that Zheng De had already understood his idea, the reason why Zheng De would let Zhang Ji do it was because Zheng De wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Zhang Ji, even if he couldn't get rid of it, he could only let Zhang Ji listen to him obediently in the future. ”
Zhang Hao was puzzled by what Yang Wenjun said, why was Zhang Ji obedient. In Yang Wenjun's next analysis, Zhang Hao understood. Yang Wenjun said: "Even if Captain Yan is trapped, there are only more than 1,000 people in the city, but the more than 10,000 people in the Zhang Ji clan alone can't capture Chengdu, although there are more than 10,000 people in Zhang Ji's people, but there are very few who can really fight on the battlefield, Zhang Ji's family was originally the weakest family among the major families in Yizhou, but it was Zheng De who instigated him to participate in this incident, but he didn't know it, and wanted to rely on this battle to make the Zhang family strong." But he didn't know that the strength of his more than 10,000 people was stronger than him even the Yellow Turban thief who was the emperor in Yizhou before. Jia Long can be defeated with only a thousand people, and how can the soldiers and horses in Chengdu be compared to Jia Long's thousand people. Although it will be a little chaotic at the beginning, and it is easy to make mistakes in the chaos, when Chengdu stabilizes, Zhang Ji will be destroyed. ”
In this way, there is not much danger in Chengdu at present, so the real danger is not this Mianzhu Pass. Zhang Hao also discovered the importance of guarding this city. But he knows that he doesn't have this ability, if the eldest brother or the second brother comes here, it will be thousands of times better than him, Zhang Haodao has not really led troops so far, and Zhang Hao himself knows that what he is good at is just some ordinary civil affairs, and the battle between the two armies is very strange to him. Naturally, my heart became anxious, and my father-in-law may be really gone now, and I will have to rely on my brothers in the future.
Zhang Hao now began to treat Yang Wenjun as his own, so he said to him: "Wenjun, if it is as you said, then I still need to write a letter to my eldest brother and second brother to clarify the conspiracy of these wealthy families, and there is another thing, that is, to invite my eldest brother to come here, Chengdu to let my second brother support the overall situation, and the eldest brother will definitely be able to withstand the thousands of people of the Zheng family when he comes here." What Zhang Hao said to Yang Wenjun was actually to see if Yang Wenjun had any way to help him defend the city.
However, Yang Wenjun said so much, in fact, his purpose was to help Zhang Hao defend the city, and now that Zhang Hao finally mentioned this, Yang Wenjun naturally would not let it go, so he said: "Fourth son, this letter must be written, but there is no need to let the eldest prince come here, the eldest prince should guard Chengdu." Yang Wenjun's title to Zhang Hao has changed, calling Zhang Hao the fourth son, Yang Wenjun is not Chen Yuan's person, and he is not an official, so the title has changed. This is Yang Wenjun making his position, but Zhang Hao doesn't know, but Zhang Hao understands that Yang Wenjun is a powerful person, and Zhang Hao has already regarded Yang Wenjun as his own.
Yang Wenjun continued: "The fourth prince only needs to explain the family's rebellion, and the fourth prince will be able to withstand the two things of Mianzhu Pass. Zhang Hao hesitated and said, "But commanding before the battle and fighting with the army is not my strength." Yang Wenjun suddenly got up from the cushion, put his hands together, faced the ground, bent down, and said: "My subordinates are not talented, and I am willing to serve the four sons of dogs and horses!" When Zhang Hao heard Yang Wenjun say this, he was excited, and immediately got up, took Yang Wenjun's hand, and said, "Sir, get up quickly, if Mr. helps me, I will definitely be able to break this thief." Then recommend Mr. to the eldest brother. After that, Zhao Junxiong and Yang Xiudong also participated in their meeting, mainly to make some arrangements for the upcoming Zheng clan.
Zhang Hao wrote the letter, ready to ask the messenger to take it back to Chengdu and hand it over to Zhang Yi and Pan Fu, Yang Wenjun also wrote a letter, let the messenger bring it back, Yang Wenjun said: "Fourth son, if you don't take out this letter and hand it to the eldest son and the second son, presumably they will be worried about the safety of this pass, in order to make the eldest son and the second son settle down, I hereby write this letter, this letter is to explain to their eldest son and second son some plans and strategies to resist the Zheng family's attack, so that the two of them can clean up the affairs of Chengdu with peace of mind, so that they can quickly come here to support us, That's when the time to fight back against the Zheng family. ”
Chengdu City, too shou mansion.
Now there are a little official positions in Chengdu City, or people with a little fame are gathered in the Taishou Mansion, and the Yizhou Gong Cao Shuyou Shu Zhongbo mentioned before, and the Yizhou Lord Bo Wang Yuanwei is also here.
Why is it here, it is because after Yan Yan was transferred out of the city, Zhang Ji and his family immediately led the army outside the city of Chengdu, although it was now night, but Pan Fu still gathered everyone together to discuss countermeasures.
The first seat of the Taishou Mansion should have been Pan Fu's position, but Pan Fu himself understood that at this time, Zhang Yi was the one who sat in that position, and it was not the size of the official position, their father-in-law let them have one person to hold the text and one person to hold the military, and when it came to the critical time, they should work together to do things, Zhang Yi, as the eldest brother, should sit in the first seat.
Although there were many voices discussing below, no one proposed a strategy to retreat from the enemy. The buzzing sound made Zhang Yi feel very irritable, so he ignored everyone and walked straight out.
Pan Fu asked everyone to go down first, and if they had any good suggestions or thought of a plan to retreat from the enemy, they could come to him at any time.
After Zhang Yi left the Taishou Mansion, he went directly to the East Gate, and there were Yan Yan's five thousand men and horses at the East Gate, but not far from the East Gate, there were seven or eight thousand people from Zhang Ji, and the other three gates were also guarded by more than 1,000 people.
Zhang Yi stood for an unknown amount of time, until a man also came to the east gate. That person is Yizhou Gong Cao Shuyou, this year's Shu You is only twenty-two years old, burly, and the same height as Zhang Yi, both of them are more than one meter and eight meters tall. At this time, none of the soldiers guarding the city had ever seen Shu You, and wondered if Zhang Yi had found a military general from somewhere. Coupled with the beard on Shu You's face, the soldiers were even more determined in their thoughts.
But such a person is Yizhou Gongcao, a civil official, and who would have thought that in addition to Pan Fu, there is another person who has an excellent reputation among the people of Chengdu is Shu You, although Shu You is just a civil official who records their merits, but he does far more things than this official position, mediating the disputes of the people everywhere, although he is Gong Cao, he is also Pan Fu's most powerful deputy, helping the people to find a way to live.
At this point, we have to talk about the origin of Shu You's popularity among the people.
Shu You didn't have any official position, but just helped his father take care of everything in the Shu family. When Chen Yuan arrived in Hanzhong, it was good to see Shu You take care of the Shu family. So he asked Shu You to be his own clerk and record the meritorious people, and later Shu You was not only able to help Chen Yuan record the merits of others, but also to help the army master Bo count the military supplies. Chen Yuan took a fancy to it, so he was promoted to Yizhou Gongcao, not on the front line, and returned to Chengdu to help Pan Fu take care of Yizhou.
Shu You came to Chengdu, because Shu You was a child of the family and understood the overall situation of Yizhou, so he used this overall view to find out some things that might happen in the future. At that time, there were many displaced people in Yizhou, mostly from Sanfu (Chang'an), Shu You also used the power of the Shu family to build a shelter for those displaced people in Hanzhong, after arriving in Chengdu, it was found that Chengdu was the place where Yizhou had the most displaced refugees, in order to let these displaced refugees live, Shu You first gave them some grain and grass with the consent of Pan Fu, let them live, and then distributed some wasteland to them, the government was distributing rice seeds to them, so that the displaced refugees had a place to live in peace, and the grain they got in the autumn harvest was divided into three or seven points, The government is seventy percent, and they still have thirty percent. Originally, even if it was from the government, the grain was also from the government, even if they worked for the government, and their food and accommodation during this period were also governmental, just one year, and they got thirty percent of their hard work in vain, which was good. After that, they used the 30% of the grain they got to keep part of the food, and they could use it to plant, and then the income was 30% of the government, and they themselves had seven layers, and of course the 30% was the land tax and the agricultural tax that the farmers had to pay. In the two years after Shu You came here, more displaced refugees survived, so Shu You had a good reputation among the people, and the government also had a lot of extra food, which was also Shu You's most powerful deputy to Pan Fu.
