On the fifth day of June in the second year of Jianning, Jingzhou was already full of greenery, and it brought a touch of warmth.

In the Xiling County Mansion in Jiangxia, a middle-aged man looked at his son who was squatting under the shade of a tree and said, "Zu'er, now you are eight years old, and you will be tested for your father." ”

"Father, please advise."

The boy said with difficulty, obviously the time to squat and walk was not short.

"Well, for my father, I ask you, what are the benefits and disadvantages of restarting the conscription system today?"

The boy pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered Pang Degong's evaluation some time ago, so he opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty implements the conscription system, which can concentrate the Han army under the control of the central government, and the general in charge of the army does not have the power to recruit troops, so he cannot recruit private troops, which is greatly beneficial to the imperial court." ”

"However, this method is difficult to satisfy the general who has a heavy army, and if he is completely handed over at this time, he will definitely be resentful, leaving a hidden danger for the imperial court, and even openly rebelling."

"Hehe, yes, yes." The father said with a smile, and then his face changed, "Say, where did you hear that?" ”

The boy's face was bitter, and he said in a sullen voice, "Pang Degong." ”

"I see." The father showed a strange look and said, "Pang Degong is a contemporary person, and it is normal to be able to see it so clearly." ”

Immediately, his father said, "Zu'er, my Huang family has been loyal to the Han since the ancestor of Huang Xiang, and now the Han Dynasty is prospering, and you must learn Wen Taowu strategy in order to serve the Han." ”

"It's the father."

The boy replied loudly.

It was a soldier who ran in and said, "Lord Taishou, those barbarians are rebelling again." ”

Hearing this, my father said in a deep voice, "Where is the county lieutenant?" ”

"Lieutenant, you're already on your way to the city."

"Well, then the official will also go, and you will first go and give an order, ordering each family to return to their homes, and not to walk around the streets without a reason."

"No."

After the soldier left, the father turned around and looked at the boy and said, "Zu'er, practice hard, and when your father comes back, I will accompany you." ”

The boy straightened up, looked up at his father, and said, "Father, the child has grown up and can go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

The father touched the boy's head amusefully and said, "My son is older, and he knows that he went into battle to kill the enemy, but you forgot?" Generals and officials everywhere do not have the right to recruit soldiers, how can Er Rang be his father to take Er there? ”

"Oh." The boy replied in a low voice.

The father smiled and left the county hall and headed for the city.

Jiangxia barbarians, is the Eastern Han Dynasty Jianwu 23 years, Nanjun Lushan barbarian Lei Qian rebelled against the imperial court, the Eastern Han Dynasty political axe sent Wuwei general Liu Shang led more than 10,000 men and horses to defeat Lei Qian, "more than 7,000 people of their race in the Jiangxia boundary".

In the thirteenth year of Emperor Yongyuan, the Wuman Xu Sheng of Nanjun, "the uneven tax collection of the county", the people resisted, and the Eastern Han Dynasty political axe ordered more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from the counties of Jingzhou to suppress the Wuman uprising, and the captured people "regained the knowledge and relocated to Jiangxia".

These barbarians who moved to Jiangxia, later called Jiangxia Man, lived in the five rivers of Bashui, Qishui, Xishui, Chitingshui, Xiguishui and other counties in Macheng, Luotian, Xishui and other counties, and were also called "Wushui Man".

Jiangxia barbarians multiplied and multiplied, and their power developed rapidly, and they also formed a situation of "more barbarians and less land", and always fought against the political axe of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It can be said that the Jiangxia barbarians' attacks on prefectures and counties are as common as the Qiang people's attacks on prefectures and counties, but it is the first time that the barbarians have attacked prefectures and counties during Liu Hong's reign.

When Huang Taishou ascended to the top of the city, the county lieutenant had already begun to organize the army to resist, and Xiling, as the seat of Jiangxia, not only had 800 guards, but also 3,000 county soldiers.

In the defense of the city, it can be said that it is a large force, especially in the face of barbarians who have no siege equipment.

Huang Taishou walked to the side of the county lieutenant and said, "County lieutenant, I don't know how many barbarians have come this time?" ”

The county lieutenant said indifferently, "But Wan Er, a certain person has already sent someone to report to Lord Assassin Shi, as long as you block these barbarians for five days, the barbarians will be attacked from front to back." ”

"Well, that's very good."

Huang Taishou also did not take the barbarians outside the city in his eyes, after all, such battles are often fought, and the barbarians can't help the Han people, and the Han people can't help the barbarians.

After thinking for a while, Huang Taishou said strangely: "Why did the barbarians come out to attack the county seat in June this time?" Wasn't it always September? At that time, the grain was ripe, so he attacked the county seat and harvested the grain at the same time. Why this time? ”

The county lieutenant shook his head and said, "I don't know, but since the barbarians are here, we must stop them." ”

"But so."

Suddenly, the barbarians attacked, and nearly 10,000 people rushed up in a swarm.

There is no tactics at all, and there are no siege equipment, only a few ladders.

But this made Huang Taishou and the county lieutenant both frown, and it was not the first time that they had fought with the Jiangxia barbarians, although the barbarians did not know strategy, nor did they know how to make siege equipment.

However, there is no such thing as a swarm rushing up.

When the barbarians rushed to a stone's throw from the wall, they turned around and ran back.

This move made the Han army, who had already drawn their bows and arrows, very depressed, and originally planned to wait for the barbarians to shoot a cluster of arrows in their hands as soon as they entered the firing range, dealing a heavy blow to the barbarians.

But now that the barbarians have gone back, what the hell is this for?

This move made Huang Taishou and the county lieutenant puzzled, and then the county lieutenant ordered the soldiers of the Han army to put down their bows and crossbows, after all, it would take physical strength to wait for the bow.

The lieutenant was unwilling, and before the war began, the strength of the soldiers was exhausted.

In the next half hour, these barbarians kept shouting and killing on the spot as if they were full, and when they saw that the Han army ignored them, they made a charge, and ran back at a distance of a stone's throw away.

But Huang Taishou and the county lieutenant did not dare to be careless at all, for fear that these barbarians would suddenly open up some schemes.

In desperation, he had to order the army to wait for the barbarians to enter the land of half an arrow, and then shoot the barbarians with bows.

Then, Huang Taishou and the county lieutenant looked at the barbarian's boring behavior and thought about it, after all, although the barbarian is not resourceful, he is not a fool.

Just as Huang Taishou and the county lieutenant were thinking about the barbarian's intentions, they suddenly heard a shout of killing from inside the city.

Both of them were shocked, and hurriedly looked into the city, and at some point, a barbarian of about 500 people appeared in the city.

These 500 barbarians were fighting fiercely with the guards of the city gates, and it was clear that they wanted to seize the city gates.

Seeing this, the lieutenant shouted, "Quick, go down quickly, and kill these barbarians." ”

Receiving the order of the county lieutenant, the Han army quickly rushed down a group of soldiers and engaged the five hundred men, but it was still a step too late, and the ten barbarians had slowly opened the city gate.

At this time, the barbarians who rushed up again did not run back, but threw down the ladder and rushed up towards the city gate.

Seeing this, the county lieutenant said, "The crossbowmen let go of the arrows, and the rest of the soldiers went down to the city with a certain one." ”

When he went down to the city, the county lieutenant turned around and said, "Taishou, please take charge of the overall situation." After saying that, he hurriedly led people to rush down.

When the county lieutenant led the people into the city gate, the barbarian army also arrived outside the city gate, and the two sides fought at the city gate to fight for the ownership of the city gate.
