Chapter 20 Hong Chengchou has a letter
Yue Su sent people out of the city to chase and kill, and with only 2,000 people, he scattered and fled hundreds of thousands of rogues. This means that the number of rebels is too large, and the number of officers and soldiers is too small, otherwise, it is estimated that the entire army of rebels will have to be killed.
Seeing that it was not too early, the officers and troops collected their troops and returned to the city. Look at the rebels outside the city, the old and weak children who followed behind, either fled in different directions, or sat on the ground and rested in place. Among the rogues, there are those who really have no livelihood and have no choice but to join the gang, and there are also those who are coerced. Most of the people who are coerced are Sichuan people, they take advantage of this opportunity, they turn around and flee, you don't care about me, I don't care about you. Those who are reluctant to join the gang are actually very helpless now, and I don't know whether to catch up with them or disperse. If you follow and catch up, it must be dangerous, but if you don't catch up, what will you eat in the future, this is far away from home, but how can it be good.
Outside the city of Chengdu, displaced people fled everywhere, and more than 100,000 people fled in the direction they came. These people are all coerced Baiyin surnames, and they finally have a chance, so let's leave quickly, don't suffer here. But when you go home, what do you eat? In the winter, the food at home was robbed by the rogues, so I had no choice but to become a rogue and now I have nothing, what can I do? Even if it's farming, you have to survive this winter.
Yue Su stood at the head of the city, looking at the scattered homeless people under the city, he wanted to give an order several times to open the city, but he endured it. At this time, it is not the time of mercy, so many displaced people enter the city, the city will inevitably be large, and the city gate will also lose its control, once the main force of the Liukou goes and returns, Chengdu will be lost.
I understand you, many people are not far away to become rogues, and they all want to stay in their homeland, but you are helpless and have no choice. But Bendu can't save you now, Bendu is also a human being, not Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering, life and death are fate, look at your own creation. If you are still alive after the Governor exterminates the Rogue, then the Governor will definitely find a way to prevent you from dying. When the Yellow River was hit by a disaster and more than 100,000 people were displaced, the Governor had not saved them all, as long as he gave the Governor time, the Governor would definitely be able to revive you and let you live a life of abundant food and clothing.
Yue Su gritted his teeth in the end, he didn't open the city to let the exiles into the city, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do this, but it was undoubtedly the safest to do so. After all, the rogues have not been completely defeated.
The displaced people had nothing to eat or drink, and they fled in all directions in the winter. Whose fault is this? Qiyinyi, Juntian free food, even if you really succeed, will you do it? This is just a slogan from those careerists, who are just fools. The taxes of the Ming Dynasty are low enough, and looking at the history of China, there is no dynasty whose taxes are lower than those of the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Jiayin led the rogues and killed them in Jianyang County. The number of rogues was too many, and after being chased and killed during the retreat, they did not shake the root at all. With so many people, the march to Jianyang was not something that could be reached in a day, plus they were rushed and killed for a while, and they didn't even have the time to cook, and when the officers and soldiers retreated, they sat on the cold ground, took a breath, and buried the pot to cook. There is not much food, and you have to save some food, the young Ding Zhuang can barely eat enough, the old and weak, there is a mouthful, and you can't starve to death.
The next day, the march continued, and the Liukou finally came to Jianyang County. When I arrived, it was almost night, so find a place to camp first, and by the way, go to the surrounding villages and towns to see if I can grab some more.
They were very unlucky, as early as when they were about to attack Chengdu, the surname Baiyin outside Jianyang County began to move, either fleeing to the city or fleeing to other villages, but everyone who could move was gone; but all that could be taken away, all were taken away. The fields are kept, but you can't get any food this season.
Wang Jiayin was very annoyed and decided to capture Jianyang within one day. The next morning, the Liukou had assembled and rushed towards Jianyang City. Chengdu City, they can all be surrounded by four gates, not to mention the small county seat.
The Liukou surrounded Jianyang City, and it was a desperate attack. If it were in normal times, such an attack would have knocked down the county seat a long time ago. It's a pity that Qin Liangyu and his white pole soldiers came, five thousand men and horses, plus the surname Baiyin summoned by Wu Rumeng, went to the city to guard together, repelled the attack of Liukou Yi, and left only corpses.
It doesn't matter if the city is not as tall and strong as Chengdu, and the Liukou also has no sharp weapons to attack the fortifications, the original point of the well fence arrow tower, when attacking Chengdu, was bombarded clean by the cannons on the city, and climbed up with the ladder alone, what is the difference between wanting to attack and dreaming. Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers are even more powerful in combat than Lord Yue's protectors. Also, Lord Wu has always been honest and fair, and he is deeply loved by Jianyang Baiyin, and he called for defending the city, Jianyang's Baiyin surname has no hesitation. There are not enough stones in the city, and some Baiyin surnames simply propose to demolish their own houses, in short, what is lacking, everyone makes up together.
Wu Rumeng's wife personally led the old and weak children in the city to cook for the brave soldiers who defended the city, and some wealthy families in the city also spontaneously donated food. The official is clear-minded, even if he is rich, he does not dare to be unkind to the rich. They also understand that donating a little food is nothing, and if you really let the rogues in, there will be nothing. The rogues don't rob the poor, and he can't rob the poor either, so he robs the rich.
Lord Wu ascended to the heights and shouted, Jianyang City was united as one, and with Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers, it was difficult for Liukou to cross the city by half a step. Qin Liangyu was very impressed when she saw Wu Rumeng's popularity, she had seen the famous 'Yue Qingtian' in Taihang Mountain, but she had never seen how Lord Yue governed the place, but in her mind, Lord Yue was nothing more than that.
The rogues attacked for a whole day, killing and wounding more than 3,000 people, and gained nothing. On this day, Wang Jiayin was a little anxious, in the past, he attacked the county seat, it was Jianyang County, not to mention the heavy casualties, but there was nothing in the city. Why is this county so difficult to fight.
After dinner, the whole army rested, and the next day, Wang Jiayin personally supervised the formation, and then attacked the city.
But the result is still the same, Jianyang County is impregnable, only his own people are thrown to his death, and he can't climb to the top of the city at all.
Yue Su in Chengdu City now knew that the Liukou was attacking Jianyang, and sent countless scouts to investigate the situation of the Liukou day and night. I heard that for two days in a row, the Liukou did not capture the city, Yue Su not only admired it, but he didn't expect Wu Rumeng to have such a hand, in the face of hundreds of thousands of Liukou, it was not at all, and he could also organize Yinwen to resist, and he blocked the Liukou for two days at once, he had a little ability, I might as well too.
You must know that when Lord Yue was in Pengzhou, he did not dare to defend the city in Pengzhou, but withdrew to Chengdu, because he was afraid that Pengzhou would not be able to hold it, and when the time came, he would lose all his family funds, and Chengdu would have no soldiers available.
Now that Wu Rumeng has been in Jianyang for two days, Yue Su is now thinking about how to deal with it. Whether to send troops to help, or to wait and see. If you send troops to help, it is really not enough to rely on your own soldiers and horses to fight with the rogues on the flat ground; But if he waited and watched the changes, he was worried that Wu Rumeng would not be able to hold on.
That is, tonight, someone outside the city suddenly called Guan, and the soldiers in the city asked, and the people in the city replied that it was a messenger sent by Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides. The soldiers immediately reported back, and as soon as Yue Su heard this, he immediately ordered the city to be opened and people to be let in.
There were about 20 people who came to deliver the letter, and they were worried that something would happen on the road, so they sent more people. The messenger presented the letter, Yue Su unfolded the view, the content of the letter is like this, the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou has now received the order of the court Yinting, led the army into Sichuan, and joined forces with the soldiers and horses in Sichuan to jointly exterminate the Liukou. Hong Chengchou has now entered the territory of Sichuan, recovered Baoning Mansion, and it is estimated that it will take at least a month to reach Chengdu, after all, the road in Sichuan is not easy to walk. However, please don't worry about the governor Yue and the governor Zhu, the governor has already sent the general Cao Wenzhao to lead the elite 5,000 as the vanguard, and set off first, and within half a month, they will inevitably arrive in Chengdu.
It turned out that after Zhu Xieyuan's request for the court to send Hong Chengchou to aid Sichuan was sent to Beiyinjing, it was immediately widely valued, especially by the Yue party, who urged it vigorously. Anyway, Lord Yue is about to enter Sichuan, in case there are no reinforcements and something goes wrong, but what is good. Zhang Yan also understood this truth, so she immediately approved it and sent someone to Hong Chengchou to give an order to quickly send troops to aid Sichuan.
After Hong Chengchou took over as Yang He's trilateral governor, he changed Yang He's strategy and changed to focus on suppression, first suppressing and then pacifying. To put it bluntly, it is to subdue you first and then give you a piece of candy to eat. Shaanxi Liukou was wiped out by him successively, Wang Jiayin fled to Sichuan, Wang Ziyong fled to Shanxi, and Gao Yingxiang fled to Gansu. Shaanxi is basically peaceful, Hong Chengchou began to appease, Chao Yinting's will came, he did not immediately aid Sichuan, he wanted to arrange all the arrangements for Shaanxi, and then enter Sichuan. Fortunately, his work efficiency was still relatively fast, and when Liukou attacked Chengdu, his soldiers and horses finally entered the territory of Sichuan, and sent Cao Wenzhao as the vanguard to Chengdu.
After reading the letter, Yue Su was very happy in his heart, since he fought with the Liukou, he had realized that the Liukou was not terrible, but he had too few people, if there were 10,000 more people, he would definitely be able to fight the Liukou head-on. Cao Wenzhao led 5,000 people to come, and Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers should have also arrived, but I don't know where they are now, if these two roads of men and horses converge with the soldiers and horses of Chengdu to exterminate the Liukou, it will be just around the corner.
Sending the messenger down to rest, Yue Su immediately wrote a reply letter to Hong Chengchou, which was naturally indispensable for words of gratitude, and at the same time expressed his admiration and expectation, hoping to join forces with Lord Hong Yin to exterminate the Liukou in Sichuan.
After writing the letter to Hong Chengchou, Yue Su wrote another letter to Cao Wenzhao, although he didn't know Cao Wenzhao, but Yue Su was still polite in the letter, said two words of compliment, and said that the Liukou attack on Chengdu did not succeed, and said that the Liukou Waiyin is strong and Yinzhong is dry, and he does not have much ability, as long as the general's reinforcements arrive, the two join forces, and give the Liukou a dismount first.
After the two letters were written, Yue Su handed over the letter to Cao Wenzhao to his subordinates, and asked people to send it out overnight, looking for Cao Wenzhao's army along the road, and after seeing it, he handed it over directly to Cao Wenzhao. Another letter, the messenger who will hand it over to Hong Chengchou tomorrow, will bring it back to Hong Chengchou.
Then, Lord Yue discussed the military situation with Jiang Jie again, and studied where Qin Liangyu and her white pole soldiers would be. Don't look at Lord Yue and Qin Liangyu have only met in Taihang Mountain, but they admire this heroine very much, knowing that they are heroines among women, and they will never dare to come to reinforcements because they are afraid of the rogues.
Jiang Jie and Yue Su had the same opinion, and even Jiang Jie gave a positive return, Qin Liangyu must be here now, as for where it is, it is in Jianyang County, which is the closest to Chengdu. Otherwise, how could the small city of Jianyang be able to stop the rogue for two days.
With Jiang Jie's affirmative answer, Yue Su was overjoyed, and when Cao Wenzhao's reinforcements arrived, he planned to fight one family, and directly sent troops to recruit and suppress the Liukou.
