Chapter 697: A Call for Help (I)
Longtai Town, located in a shallow hill, has four distinct seasons. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As a military town, Longtai is not large, that is, about one square kilometer, built on a shallow hill.
Here, the scenery is beautiful and the scenery is pleasant.
Yang Shouwen climbed the watchtower and raised his eyes to look around.
Day, a little gloomy.
There was a sporadic light rain at dawn, which made the air very humid.
As Meng Huan expected, after Meng Yuan realized that Meng Kai was ambushed, he did not return to the rescue, but instead thought of attacking Longtai Town and taking the opportunity to loot food. However, unfortunately, when Yang Shouwen arrived at Tazishan, he sent someone to get in touch with Longtai Town. There are many military households in Longtai Town, with a population of about 2,000 people, and two teams of government soldiers are stationed.
These government soldiers are not comparable to those people under Yang Shouwen.
Although the military system of the government has begun to erode, and the armament has become somewhat sluggish, in terms of equipment and training, it is much stronger than the people.
These two pairs of government soldiers were waiting for work, while Meng Yuan's 600 rebels were exhausted.
After learning that the brigade had been ambushed, the rebels had no intention of continuing the battle, so that as soon as the two sides fought, half of them fled.
The rebels were almost self-defeating and were quickly routed!
Meng Yuan was killed in the chaos, and Meng You fled in embarrassment with dozens of remnants of the defeated army, and his whereabouts are temporarily unknown.
Yang Shouwen was too lazy to chase and kill again, the rebels were tired, and his soldiers and horses were equally tired. As for Meng You? If you are smarter, you can quickly escape from Jiannan Road and find a place to hide your name. Otherwise, his fate may be worse than Meng Kai's.
Since the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court has never been merciful to rebels......
"Luzhou, what's the situation?"
Yang Shouwen stood upstairs and looked south.
Beside him was a young man, slightly darker-complexioned, with a strong physique, and a look of force.
This person's name is Wang Junyu, a native of Guazhou, who later joined the army in Sichuan, and is now the judge of Yingtian, Zuoshi, and the highest military governor in Longtai Town.
He is slightly lower than Yang Shouwen, and his height is the same as Yang Shouwen's, but his body is more stocky than Yang Shouwen.
Last night, Wang Junyu led a team of soldiers and horses to attack the rebels, and even killed Meng Yuan in the chaos, causing the rebels to quickly rout, which can be described as a great achievement.
Yang Shouwen arrived in Longtai at dawn and escorted thousands of captives to be held outside Longtai Town.
With so many more captives added at once, Wang Junyu was also very nervous. Fortunately, these captives were powerless to resist, and after they were imprisoned, they were very honest, most of them fell asleep, and no one wanted to gather a crowd to make trouble.
This made Wang Junyu breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Wang Junyu is also very curious about Yang Shouwen.
He didn't know Yang Shouwen's true identity, he only knew that he was ordered by the crown prince and had great power.
Hearing Yang Shouwen's inquiry, Wang Junyu hurriedly replied: "About five days ago, I smuggled Yuanshui with the barbarians, and after occupying Butou, I captured Nanting and approached Qujiang. And the local cave bath barbarian army responded, and joined forces with Fu Chidun to break Baping City.
Zhao Fujun has already mobilized people to resist, but the situation is not very good.
It is said that this time he sent 20,000 troops to the barbarians, plus the Dongyu barbarians and the Fu Chi Dun people, nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses, which also made Zhao Fujun feel tricky. He has already asked for support from Rongzhou and other places, and two days ago, there was an envoy who went to Anyue to ask for help, but I don't know how Zhang will react to seeking Zhang Tingshi...... However, based on my observation of Zhang Tingshi, I'm afraid I won't send troops. ”
"Why?"
"There are some grievances between Zhao Fujun and Zhang Tingshi.
Zhao Fujun is a native of Tianshui, but Zhang Tingshi is a local, the two have had conflicts because of some things, Zhao Fujun also went to the court and asked the court to judge. Later, the imperial court thought that Zhang Tingshi was wrong, and Di Gong sent someone to reprimand Zhang Tingshi, which was considered to calm the contradiction between the two. But since then, Zhang Tingshi has hated Zhao Fujun to the core.
Zhang Jianshi is a timid and narrow-minded person.
Anyway, I think that at this time, Zhang Jianshi will definitely not send troops to rescue, or he will not send reinforcements so quickly. ”
Zhao Fujun, named Zhao Shili, Tianshui people's clan.
Yang Shouwen frowned slightly, revealing a deep groan.
Seeing this, Wang Junyu hurriedly said: "Yang Jun, I just said what I know, as for whether Zhang Jianshi will send reinforcements, I am just guessing, Yang Jun doesn't have to take it to heart." Moreover, although the rebels are powerful, they seem to me to be mostly a rabble. As long as Zhao Fujun does not attack rashly and clears the wilderness, it will not take long for the rebels to retreat. ”
"How so?"
Wang Junyu said with a smile: "Luzhou is barren, and there are many lofty mountains.
The rebels are outnumbered, but their roots are too shallow. Even if they occupied Qujiang County and captured Baping City, it was mostly the kind of sparsely populated place. It is not easy to transport heavy grain and grass from Heman, and they want to loot on the spot, but they are deserted.
When the time comes, the rebels will run out of food, and they will naturally retreat.
As for the bath in the cave and the Fu Chi Dun...... After retreating with the barbarians, it is not difficult to pacify. ”
Yang Shouwen nodded and praised: "Wang Jun has a lot of knowledge, and I admire it." ”
"Ha, how can I have any knowledge, it's just that I have nothing to do on weekdays, and I'm just fooling around.
But I have an elder brother named Guo Zhiyun, who has real skills. He is also a native of Guazhou, proficient in the art of war, good at strategy, brave and good at shooting, and courageous. Five years ago, he used his martial arts skills to make up for the three degrees of Guoyi in Qinzhou, which is a real skill...... It's a pity that he is too upright, and it is said that he has offended Shangguan, and now he can only be trapped in the border town. ”
Wang Junyu said, his face showing pity.
Yang Shouwen's eyes narrowed, and he secretly glanced at Wang Junyu, revealing a thoughtful look.
"And where is he now?"
"Now?"
Wang Junyu scratched his head and said, "At the beginning of the year, he gave me a letter, saying that he went to Ziting Town.
He also invited me to go back, and I was also thinking about it, and I was going to Ziting Town to find him...... Naziting Town is adjacent to Tibet and is a dangerous place. My brother is an honest man, and I'm really not at ease. ”
"Ziting Town? Where is that? ”
"Shazhou, now under the Beiting Protectorate."
"Did he offend Guo Qianjun?"
Wang Junyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and shook his head: "If my brother has such ability, I can rest assured."
How could he offend Governor Guo, it was a long history of offending the Governor's Mansion last year.
His father was the new guerrilla general, and his younger brother joined the army as a clerk in the Anzai Prefecture. I heard that he had someone in Luoyang, so he was quite arrogant...... I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm worried that when the time comes, he will do things and tell the truth. After all, it was the people around Guo Dudu, and my brother offended him, so naturally there was no good fruit to eat. ”
Yang Shouwen's eyes showed a look of surprise.
According to what Wang Junyu said, that 'Bird Changshi' may be his acquaintance!
Yang Shouwen hesitated for a moment and said softly: "What is the name of that long history?" ”
"This ...... I don't remember exactly, but it seems to be called. ”
"Gai Jiaxing?"
"Oh yes, that's it!"
Wang Junyu's eyes suddenly widened, looked at Yang Shouwen and said, "Yang Jun, do you recognize this person?" ”
The corners of Yang Shouwen's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a look of disdain, and he chuckled: "I told you that I went to Anxi last year to do business, but I saw this person.
Ha, I thought this guy was pretty good at the time, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of person.
Rest assured, I will try to speak for your brother, and I will not spare him if he dares to do evil in secret. ”
At this moment, Su Mo'er came to the bottom of the watchtower and shouted loudly: "Ah Lang, that Meng Huan has woken up and wants to see you." (To be continued.) )
