Chapter 32: The Mob is in Nanxiang
In December of the second year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, on the west bank of the Danshui River. "Yuanhua, control all the boats, no one is allowed to use them without a certain permission, all those who cross the river, whether they go from the west bank to the east bank or hit the east bank, all of them are arrested, and if they are homeless, they will be sent to Danshui County." At this time, the beach of this section of the Danshui River was densely stationed on the river beach of Hanzhong, with 3,000 wolf riders and 2,000 Zhang Ba's troops.
It turned out that when tens of thousands of mobs in Nanxiang were swarming north to attack Nanxiang, Chen Lin immediately got the news in Xicheng, discussed with Jia Xuyi, and decided to immediately send troops to block the Danshui Ferry. So there are two functions, one is to complete the agreement with Yuan Shu, the Danshui ferry control, the other is to surround the people of the four counties in the west of Danshui between Xicheng and Danshui, now Wu Kuang's 2,000 army is firmly rooted in Xicheng, and the mob of the four counties does not want to cross Hanzhong one step. Chen Lin thought that after recruiting more than 100,000 people in these four counties, there was no doubt that the four counties in the west of Danshui would become a part of Hanzhong, and Yuan Shu still wanted to go back, which was difficult to compare.
Originally, Chen Lin thought that in the face of tens of thousands of mobs, there would be a big battle, and he didn't want to when Chen Lin and Chen Ze rode to Champion County first, he let Champion County open the city gate in just a few words, and it turned out that the fifty or sixty thousand mobs that had originally gathered there really went to attack Nanxiang, and there was not much left, but now that he knew that Chen Lin's army was coming, the warriors who had not been killed who had been hiding had been dispatched, and the two or three thousand mobs left behind were timid, so they simply surrendered. Seeing that it was so simple, Chen Lin immediately led the wolf to ride through Yu County and Danshui County. Except for the reckless man who rushed out with teeth and claws in Yuxian County, which was swept to the ground by Chen Ze with a shot, the three counties surrendered one after another. Especially in Danshui County, as soon as the three thousand mobs arrived at the Chen Lin wolf ride, they knelt at the city gate early and surrendered. Most of the mobs in the Danshui Valley are people from outside the city, and there are relatively few people inside the city. After Chen Lin surrendered to the three counties, he quickly led his troops to set up camp at Danshui Ferry with Zhang Ba, who had caught up.
At this time, Jia Xu also stepped forward: "Lord, good news, Ziqiao has returned to Fangling, 100,000 stone grain, 100,000 Lord, Ziqiao is amazing." Chen Lin was also overjoyed, and shouted loudly: "What, 100,000 stones? Liu Jingzhou is so generous. Jia Xu smiled and said: "It is said that Liu Jingzhou quilt Qiao is very angry. Then he told Zhang Song about the meeting with Liu Biao, which must have been done by Zhou Cang for the scouts. When Chen Lin heard this, he laughed angrily, this Zhang Song. Chen Lin asked again: "Then Liu Jingzhou said when he would send it, or will I wait to pick it up?" ”
Jia Xu was stunned and said: "After the end of the war, Ziqiao said that Liu Jingzhou would not be cashed out until after Yuan Highway withdrew his troops, and if he could get this batch of grain at this time, it would be of great benefit to the occupation of the four counties of Danshui." Chen Lin smiled: "Wenhe, don't be dissatisfied, after the war, Liu Jingzhou can give it to me, even if I earn it in Hanzhong." Liu Jingzhou is also playing a small idea, it seems that Liu Jingzhou is also a little afraid of Nanyang, isn't this just to show us, if Jingzhou is defeated, Hanzhong don't want to get food, so if I Hanzhong still wants this batch of food, I have to help Jingzhou win this battle, Liu Jingzhou is so calculating. ”
Jia Xu thought about it for a while, and said: "Liu Jingzhou is cowering, now that he Jingzhou has a precaution, and has the advantage of the water army, the natural danger of the river, if Liu Jingzhou still can't win this battle, just let Jingzhou to me." It's just that the lord, now Fancheng must have been prompted by Liu Jingzhou, focusing on guarding against Nanyang soldiers and horses, so Yuan Highway has become a strong attack, even if Fancheng is taken, I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to cross the river south. At that time, I am afraid that Yuan Highway's think tank will find out that all this is being designed by our army, so it will be angry with our army, which is not good at that time. ”
Chen Lin thought for a while and said: "No, even if Yuan Highway guessed that it was me who waited for two sides to eat, but there was no evidence, and our army fulfilled the agreement and blocked the mob on the east bank." Besides, if Yuan Highway can continue to march into Jingzhou after defeating Fancheng, he will not be distracted to find trouble in my Hanzhong at that time, but if the Nanyang soldiers and horses attack Fancheng have suffered too many casualties and are unable to enter Jingzhou again, then Yuan Highway will not even be able to bite Jingzhou at that time, and I Hanzhong still need to be afraid of him? A certain has ordered General Yang of the Sword Pavilion to enter Shu in exchange for Youping, Youping is the only one in our army who is proficient in water warfare, and a certain wants to let Youping set up a naval army, just in Fangling Port, Lishui Village to train the naval army. ”
Jia Xu thought about it, Zhou Tai didn't have two or three months to get Shangyong, now Danshui has Zhang Ba and Wu Kuang to attack 4,000 foot soldiers, wolf riders 3,000, Jia Xu thought about it, and said: "Lord, this is good, our army should take down the Nanxiang mob as quickly as possible, so that General Wu does not have to defend Xicheng, but can come to Danshui and General Zhang to guard against Yuan Highway, so that there is no worry." ”
Chen Lin: "Well, there are nearly 60,000 mobs in Nanxiang now, accounting for almost half of the population of the four counties of Danshui. Set up a banner and shout every day to make a big army, so that the mob on the east bank thinks that most of our army is here, and will never dare to cross the river, if Yuan Highway really wants to take Fancheng as we think, he will definitely send an army to drive the mob to Fancheng from north to south. As long as a large number of mobs are driven to the south by Yuan Highway and cross this section of the ferry, there will be no incident, and it is believed that Yuanhua's 2,000 army is enough. That certain relatives led the wolf to ride to Nanxiang, and it is best that Nanxiang has not been broken yet. Chen Lin didn't even believe what he said, there were no soldiers in Nanxiang, at most there were only 1,000 or hundreds of county soldiers, how could he stop tens of thousands of mobs, just like Chen Lin saw in Danshui County. There are still countless corpses under the city of Danshui County, which must have been filled in with their lives when they were attacking the city, 50,000 or 60,000 mobs, and now the mob still has a lot of weapons in their hands, and they have smashed a thousand county soldiers.
At this time, Nanxiang, as Chen Lin expected, was already in danger, and there were 80,000 mobs under the city, rushing to the city without their lives. The county order of Nanxiang has been the county order of Nanxiang for more than ten years, which has to be said to be a miracle, and this miracle has both the pride of the county order and the helplessness of the county order. It is proud that no one has been an official in one place for more than ten years, especially Nanyang, who doesn't know how much he has changed. Helplessly, no matter what means the county order uses, there is no way to let his official go to the next level, give gifts and recruit people, and do everything, it is useless. The county order has been in Nanxiang for more than ten years, and he is greedy and greedy, and there are a lot of meritorious deeds. When Yuan Shu took office, the county commander was reluctant to leave Nanxiang, and he was reluctant to give him a high-ranking official. Just when the county commander wanted to be his soil emperor, Danshui was desperate, and the mob rose up. The news that was constantly sent back from outside the city made the county order and the scholars of the county tremble, hundreds of thousands, and nearly 100,000 on the west bank of Danshui. The county order is also regarded as an old slippery head, and they have seen other cities being breached, the county order gritted his teeth, and forced the scholars in the city to donate food and distribute it to thousands of people in the city.
At this time, the county soldiers on the head of Nanxiang City, the scholars and the guards of the scholars, etc., added up to only about 3,000. The ant-like mob reminded the county magistrate of the Yellow Turban thieves many years ago, and it was also this kind of scene at that time, if it weren't for the remoteness of Nanxiang County, with Zhang Fan and Zhang Mancheng rebels back then, Nanxiang would definitely have been breached. The county commander sighed, and after several hours of siege of the city, the defenders went to more than 1,500, and the mob under the city left at least 20,000 corpses, but so what, there are still 60,000 people, and they don't have it. If it weren't for the fact that the mob had only come now, and the county magistrate had enough time to do a lot of work to defend the city, it would have been ruined, which would have been terrible.
It's not that the county order hasn't thought about escaping, but for more than ten years, the entire family's family business has been in Nanxiang, and he can't bear it. Even if you run, where to run, Wancheng is definitely giving up on itself, if there are reinforcements coming early, there will be no one, it is a good idea to run to Hanzhong, but when it is learned that the champion county has gathered tens of thousands of mobs, the county order will not dare to go out of the city, if you want to go to Hanzhong, you must pass through the champion county, and it is even more impossible to escape back to Wancheng. The most important thing is that as long as the county commander escapes from Nanxiang, then he is no longer the county commander of Nanxiang, and the county soldiers will no longer help him, these thousand county soldiers are all locals, who is willing to run with him. There is no county soldier protection, but there are dozens of cars of family property, how can I take it. In the end, the county order stayed, and this stay suddenly became a hero in the county, and countless people who had been oppressed by him no longer hated him, but praised him, and the county order was helpless.
"Bring in all the wood that can be moved in the city." Seeing that it was getting late, while the mob was resting, the county commander hurriedly shouted and commanded the people to demolish the house, almost demolishing the county government, and of course, there were still several mansions of the Dashi clan, who dared to move. At this time, the scholars who used to cheat me were united, except for those who escaped, and the rest heard that none of the scholars in Danshui County and other places survived. Hearing such terrible news, the scholars gave out both men and food, and for the first time, the people in the city were able to eat enough like this, and there was still meat to eat, although it was a little harder. Many people secretly hope that such mobs will come more, so that they can eat meat often in the future, and it will be free.
When the county commander saw that the boundless mob a mile away from the city was in turmoil, he once again ordered: "Pull all the young and strong people in the city to the city and distribute weapons, the official is talking about everything, even the house slaves in the rich must come, don't arrest the children of the Shi clan." "In a county town of more than 10,000 people, it is already remarkable to be able to make up 3,000 young men, and if you catch it again, the people in the city will die. But where can the county order take care of so much, save his life now, what kind of family property or official position, it doesn't matter now, the county order regrets in his heart, he didn't leave his family property early and ran away. What's the use of keeping so much possessions if everyone is dead?
Early in the morning of the second day, before dawn, outside Nanxiang City.
"Woo-woo-"
The county commander was startled, he heard such a different horn sound, and he was immediately shocked, what is the situation, this is the horn horn used by the Hu people, not the war drum used by the Han people.
