Chapter 128: Rebellion of the Sector Star
No matter what others think, Zhou Tai became an official captain, leading his five thousand men and horses to start training, and the wounds on his body are still dripping blood! It can be seen how thick the body capital of this product is, it is completely at the level of a mule; When Ou Xing and Guo Shi were waiting for the Zhou Dynasty to return from transporting ordnance for a long time, some of his subordinates betrayed them, and the person who betrayed them was so immortal that he conveyed the news to the two people closest to the place of the incident in Jiangxia County, one was Sun Jian, the fierce tiger of Changsha, and the other was Li Kai, who was stationed in Fuyang for military training; So! Let's go on the expedition! The so-called cross-border suppression of bandits is easy to cause unnecessary disputes, and he doesn't care about it at all, he believes that Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, will also not waste this opportunity to train troops! As for how to make excuses for yourself, it is unknown; The men and horses are there, the weapons are there, the grain and grass are there, and the excuse to send troops is also there, everything is ready and just wait for the march to Jiangxia County. Liang Gang! This clever fellow!
The reason why he is said to be smart rather than cunning is because in terms of cunning, he is more pure than a person like Li, who simply wants to be a lady; Liang Gang was very serious when he was doing things, because he knew that it was difficult to transform from a notorious bandit bully to an official soldier, so he cherished this opportunity extraordinarily; He knows in his heart who is really in power in the entire Nanyang County, although Li sometimes has a bad attitude, but he is a real meritocracy, and only he will not wear colored glasses to look at them; If it is changed to Master Yuan, first of all, they will ask about their origins, etc., and then make arrangements according to their identities, at this point, where do they have any opportunities for those who are born as bandits and hooligans? It was precisely because he saw through this that he taught Li Feng a lesson, hoping that he would be smarter; The reason why Li Kai found Liang Gang was very simple, he needed Liang Gang to complete one thing for him, and this thing was to restore the arsenal in Zangfeng Village - privately made weapons! It is indeed a private weapon, and the crime of privately making weapons without the permission of the imperial court is indeed not small, but now that Dong Zhuo is implementing a new policy in the capital, who will care about it in the chaos?
"The iron ore in Zangfeng Village can't be wasted! You say yes! Li asked with a smile: "Gather the craftsmen who came back from the captives, open a smelting site in the city, build some farm tools in the early stage, and provide some tools to these people for free when spring is coming!" Then, build weapons! ”
Liang Gang frowned: "Is this good?" I mean to transport the iron ore to Fuyang with great fanfare, and it costs a lot on the way, and it is easy to be caught, so it is better to send those craftsmen to Zangfeng Village, and then send troops to guard it, wouldn't it be better? ”
"Not good!" , Li shook his head: "That's depriving these people of their freedom, they live there like prisoners, we can't do this kind of thing!" In Fuyang, you can gather more people and gather craftsmen from the homeless, and the people can be regarded as a way to work for relief!
This is just the initial plan, to tell those displaced people, don't point to us to feed them completely, this is impossible, if you want to get it, you have to pay, this is the truth I want to tell them! I won't say anything about the rest, you can do it yourself, I'll give you 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers, which will be used to guard and escort respectively! ”
Liang Gang arched his hand: "I will live up to Mr.'s trust!" ”
"Excellent! I want someone like you who has faith and ability! Do a good job! If you don't understand, ask Brother Mao, he is a genius and understands everything! Li turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "Liang Gang! You're a smart guy and you know the weight of this! Yuan Gong will not forget your efforts! ”
If you want the horses to run, it is unrealistic not to give the horses grass, and Li can only make a promise to Liang Gang temporarily, in fact, Liang Gang's soldiers and horses have jumped to 5,000 this time, which can be regarded as a disguised promotion; The so-called soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, the grain and grass were very problematic, Li Kai was not a god, and he didn't know when he would be able to pacify the rebels, but the current food situation in Nanyang County did not allow him to take away a lot of grain, so he could only take away half a month's grain; This half-moon grain includes the grain and grass consumed on the way to Jiangxia County and retreat to Nanyang County, and it is expected that the enemy will not win for seven days, so he must be withdrawn, otherwise he will wait for hunger! Li is not worried about this; The reason is that the real purpose of his trip to Jiangxia to quell the rebellion was not to suppress the rebels and exterminate the rebels, but to simply train the troops, so that those raw melons and eggs could see blood, let them know the situation on the battlefield, and thoroughly hone them once; Ji Ling led 8,000 troops, guarding Fuyang County, strictly guarding some unstable factors, Li Feng led 3,000 cavalry to open the way, Huang Zhong guarded the Chinese army, Zhou Tai broke off, and Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, and Ma Chao waited for orders at any time beside Li, and the army set off mightily; Naturally, there are a lot of things going on in the team of 30,000 people, and Li Kai now understands why Han Xin dared to let out his words back then-the more, the better! Yes, it's easy to say, but it's too hard to actually do!
After the start of the army, Li kept hearing reports, how happened to so-and-so, a certain place can't pass, a certain place needs a boat, and so on, and so on, and then he found one thing, that is, why do you care about this?
You don't need to worry about it yourself! Whoever asks him about these things after that, he will only reply: "Ask your superiors!" ”
How do you lead an army of millions? You only need 10 generals and thousands of generals! Because I don't need to manage the soldiers at all, I only need to manage the generals! This is the latest conclusion that Li Kai has reached! Also a very useful conclusion with him!
All he had to do was keep the generals under control, and be responsible for drawing up the route of the march and the tactical plan to accomplish the desired strategic objectives! When everything was figured out, he laughed a few times and began to look through the military book given by Huangfu Song; Now that he's found a way to command an army, why keep learning? Because that method is just a tricky way, he still needs real talent to enrich himself! Moreover, Huangfu Song's war book recorded many battle examples, which are worthy of his repeated scrutiny and study;
Jiangxia County, Hong'an County, this is the location of the District Star Uprising, why did you choose here? First, it is far away from Changsha, and secondly, it is very close to the county guard of Jiangxia County, and it seems that if an incident arises here, it can capture Jiangxia County and achieve political goals; Ou Xing is a very interesting person, he himself is full of poetry and books, he is a cultural person, he should have done everything he has learned in his life, to serve the country and the people, why did he take risks and do the unpromising profession of anti-thief? You must know that Lord Dong Zhuo, who is hundreds of times stronger than him, did not dare to do this; The reason is very simple, this guy has some cynical thoughts, because his background is not very good, he is a poor scholar, he wants to be filial piety and be an official, it is absolutely wishful thinking, and he decided to take revenge in the face of all kinds of unwillingness in the world!
So he became a hero in Jingzhou, robbing the rich and helping the poor, so he became a barefoot man who traveled all over Jingxiang, saving the suffering and saving the suffering, so he became a famous good man! And found a lot of people who were dissatisfied with the imperial authorities, established their own organizations, and put forward their own slogans - heaven has no way, earth is impossible, only rely on yourself!
In this way, he found two people who had the same purpose as him and had been preparing for many years, one was Guo Shi and the other was the Zhou Dynasty, and the three of them planned to rebel in Changsha, Wuling, and Lingling, because this place was very close to Jiaozhou, and even if nothing happened, they could hide there and live a life of paradise and no fighting; It's a pity that on the eve of their first preparation, the imperial court sent a fierce general brother - the fierce tiger Sun Jian! Destroying the Yellow Turban and fighting Xiliang, Sun Jian was invincible, and his 3,000 soldiers and horses were even more fierce!
With such a fierce man suppressing, how dare they make trouble? Ou Xing was a smart man, and he knew that most of the soldiers and horses he had summoned were rabble, homeless and poor people who were dissatisfied with the authorities; These people may really fight to the death for their fate, but their courage and bravery are just a ridiculous joke in front of the elite division, and they are simply vulnerable! So he stopped his actions just in time and waited for the moment; After the battle between Liu Biao and Wang Rui escalated into a war, he saw an opportunity, because the more fierce Huang Zu, who had been stationed in Jiangxia County for a long time to monitor and suppress Sun Jian, was gone, and went to Xiangyang to help Liu Jingsheng stabilize the situation!
So he decided to start an incident immediately! And sent the Zhou Dynasty to Nanyang County to retrieve the cost he had accumulated over the years, it was a pity that he could arm 30,000 people with ordnance, the Zhou Dynasty was killed by the Nanyang officers and soldiers like a blind cat running into a dead mouse, and his head was in a different place, and he himself was exposed, and he could only bite the bullet in a hurry!
Ou Xing held high the banner of righteousness and played the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, which is a smart idea and very creative, although the Yellow Turban Uprising has passed, there are many remnants of the party, the Black Mountain Army in Jizhou in the north, and the Qingzhou Army in Qingxu in the east, these are the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, and they are millions; In Jiangxia, he naturally can't get direct support from these two places, but he can also rely on his banner to attract some of the Yellow Turban remnants who have fallen into the grass and been displaced, you must know that the Yellow Turban Army that has experienced the war is still very strong; Facts have proved that Ou Xing's decision to take advantage of the remaining strength of the Yellow Turban Army was right, and he gathered thousands of people for him, as well as the two Yellow Turban generals Liu Pi and Gong Du, who were quite brave, pushed the number of his subordinates to more than 30,000 in one fell swoop, and the momentum was huge; Because he was informed, and the Zhou Dynasty was killed, he rebelled in a hurry, and his heart was full of uneasiness, because he knew that Sun Jian, a guy who did not play cards according to common sense, might not care about crossing the border, and the people who also killed the Zhou Dynasty on the edge of Jiangxia County would not care; Time is pressing, he needs to find a shelter for himself first, to resist the upcoming invasion of the army, this small place in Hong'an County is obviously not what he wants, he has a long-term vision, in Jiangxia County!
There was a lot of food and grass there, and a lot of ordnance, all he needed! So he brazenly launched an attack and took Jiangxia County directly!
