Chapter 188: Murderous Opportunities
In the third year of the first peace, on the ninth day of the first month, Hedong County, the cold wind was howling for days, the clouds were overwhelming, and the ancient Anyi County was shrouded in a vast snowfall.
Anyi County was the ancient capital of the Xia Dynasty, since the end of the Han Dynasty has suffered from war, the Southern Xiongnu, the Baibo Army, Dong Zhuo, have been wreaking havoc here, after Ji Ping entered the Hedong, here became the economic and political center for a while, under the governance of Hedong Taishou Lu Zhi, after two years of stable development, the original seven or eight forts were demolished, the population increased to 50,000 households after the people were arranged, the city expanded nearly doubled, the road was widened, the pavilions in the city were lined up one after another, and the houses outside the city were continuous.
At this time, just after the end of the day, it was pitch black all around, except for the soldiers who patrolled the guards on the city.
In the dark room of a private house in the city, the stove and cigarette smoke curled, a pot of warm wine on the table, two wine bottles, two scribes sat opposite each other, and the candles on the side were dancing, reflecting the swaying figures on the wall.
One of the two scribes was dressed in a green dress and white face, with a melancholy face, and the other was wearing a scarf on his head, brushing his chin and beard, leisurely.
"Mr. Sima, what's going on?" The green-robed scribe's voice was eager and apprehensive.
"Hehe, Brother Wei, don't worry, don't worry." The Confucian scribe poured himself a glass of wine, not in a hurry or slowly: "There is heavy snow outside, and it is cold all the way, and I will drink this glass of wine first to warm my body." ”
The Qingshang scribe said uneasily: "This matter is very big, once it fails, it will be a catastrophe, and the whole door will be destroyed, how can I not be in a hurry!" ”
The Confucian scribe drank the wine in the cup and said hesitantly: "The puppet king acted recklessly, harmed the scholars, seized the salt fields, poisoned the prefectures and counties, and even the family was restless, and the world was in danger, this is acting against the sky. Heaven will punish it! Now, we have gathered righteous people from all over the world to ambush the head of the thief first. It also develops both inside and outside, Hedong, Hanoi, Xihe, and Taiyuan. Rising on all sides, even if the gods come into the world, it is difficult to have the power to return to the sky, the pseudo-king will die, and the east of the river will be chaotic! We just have to take advantage of the chaos, hehe, and pour a glass of wine. ”
The Qingshang scribe's face softened slightly, but he was still a little uneasy: "Sir, I'm afraid I don't know, King Hongnong has a very high prestige in Hedong. There are also Lu Zhi, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, and Liu Bei as their wings, all of which are extraordinary, and I am afraid that they will ......"
The Confucian scribe snorted: "In any case, as soon as the puppet king dies, everything will be wiped out!" The rest of the sons, except for Lu Zhi, are all unknown people, but under the pretense of being a pseudo-king, they are all headless rats, what a way! ”
……
Dayang County, the southernmost part of Hedong County. It is across the river from Shaanxi County in Hongnong County on the other side. Dayang County is the land of the ancient Yu country, leaning on the middle strip in the north and connecting the Yellow River in the south, because it is in the sun of the big river. Hence the name Dayang. Since ancient times, Dayang County is the grain transportation, salt transportation and marching artery of Hedong and the Central Plains, and there are two ancient ferries of Maojin and Dayangdu in the territory, plus several small ferries of Hongyang and Xijin. Facing Shaanxi County on the other side of the Yellow River.
After Dong Zhuo settled Guanzhong, he ordered Niu Fu to be stationed in Shaanxi County. After Ji Ping retreated from Luoyang to Hedong. 10,000 immigrants were placed in Dayang County in order to defend against Niu Fu in Shaanxi County. He also arranged a heavy army in Dayang County, and ordered Xun Di to build a camp in Fuyan, more than 20 miles east of the county seat, and arrange defense. Later, Xun Di followed Ji Ping to Jizhou to borrow grain, Zhonglang led Guan Yu to lead 20,000 horses to sit in Hedong, and sent the captain Han Xian to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard Dayang, plus the assistance of his cronies Zhao Lei, which shows the importance of it.
During this period, Niu Fu led the army from Shaanxi and Jindu several times to attack Dayang County, but whether it was a strong attack or a sneak attack, it was in vain.
At this time, under the north wind and night snow, the thousands of ravines and ravines in Dayang County are vast, passers-by are nowhere to be seen, and mountain birds are extinct.
The Fu Yan military camp more than 20 miles east of Dayang County is even more cold and solemn, a few big flags in the barracks are hunting and hunting, and a patch of barracks spreads out, under the shadowy torches, dark red slush can be seen everywhere, and the sound of blade clashing and fighting is heard in the military camp that should be quiet.
In front of the barracks, nearly a thousand men and horses were neatly arrayed, holding Changge in their hands, silent, like a fierce beast lurking quietly in the dark, ready to attack.
In front of the procession, a general in armor stood, holding a spear, and in the light of the torches, the face of the gloomy owl was murderous, mixed with madness and fierceness.
This person is the former Baibo Qu Marshal stationed in Dayang County, the current captain of the Hedong Military Academy, Han Xianam!
At the time of this night, the captain Han Xian suddenly instigated two thousand old troops to launch a mutiny, Sima Zhao Lei of the other department was nowhere to be found, and the military Sima Jia Ji saw that the situation was not good, and took the initiative to join Han Xian.
Han Xian then ordered Jia Ji to lead his headquarters to attack and kill the soldiers who refused to rebel, as the head of the rebellion.
The sound of fighting on all sides kept moving away, and it seemed that the soldiers who resisted fled under Jia Ji's pursuit.
Beside Han Xian, a sheep-bearded scribe shrank in a green cloth cotton coat, rubbed his hands, and said disdainfully: "Jia Ji is really incompetent, so he took advantage of the night to attack and kill, it was effortless, I didn't want to make such a momentum, wake up the rebels, and even fall into a bitter battle, both defeated, incompetent!" What incompetence! The puppet king makes people, but that's it! ”
Sima Shen on the side suddenly exclaimed: "Not good! What if Jia Ji took the opportunity to escape and go to Anyi to report the news? ”
The sheep-bearded scribe arched his hand towards Han Xian and said proudly: "General Han and I have already ordered a thousand men and horses to guard the main roads outside Fu Yan's military camp. ”
Han Xian's face also showed a look of self-satisfaction, the Hedong Army will regularly conduct military education for combat generals, and I have to admit that I have a lot more strategies in my chest now than when I was in the Baibo Army.
It's just that thinking of King Hongnong, who formulated this policy, Han Xian suddenly felt a little more apprehensive in his heart, and he had too much awe in his heart for that gentle and smiling young man.
He couldn't help but look at the sheep-bearded scribe beside him, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yang, if King Hongnong escapes this time, we will die without a burial......
The sheep-bearded scribe squinted his eyes, hid a trace of disdain, and said: "General Han can be relieved, this time there are four hundred light warriors in ambush on the big river, all of them can be a hundred, King Hongnong hurriedly came from Hanoi, together with more than 20 guards, the ice surface of the river is unobstructed, with a heart or not, King Hongnong will be ten dead!" ”
I don't know when, the sound of fighting in that military camp has disappeared, and soon, the bloodied army Sima Jia Ji rushed to and said solemnly: "General Han, the rebellious soldiers have all been wiped out!" ”
"Excellent! And bring the headquarters into the ranks! A smile squeezed out of Han Xian's face, and he instructed Jia Ji, turning his head to look at the sheep-bearded scribe: "Brother Yang, what should I do now?" It's better to attack Dayang County first at night, and then ambush Zhao Lei......"
The sheep beard scribe shook his head: "Otherwise, Zhao Lei didn't know that King Hongnong was walking on the ice road of the big river, and together with a thousand cronies and sergeants, he was deceived by the general into Yiguan and received King Hongnong, and it was difficult to come out for a while, and even if Dayang County was taken down, it was only a small county in the mountains, which was useless in the overall situation." ”
After saying that, the sheepbeard scribe paused, pointed to the north, and said, "The general's goal should be Anyi!" At this time, as long as Lu Zhi and Empress He were captured, and King Hongnong died, even if Guan Yu in Puban County had the courage of ten thousand people, there were tens of thousands of soldiers in Taiyuan and Hexi, hehe! What a way! ”
Han Xian's eyes showed excitement, and he immediately shouted: "Let's go!" ”
In the queue, Jia Ji's eyes flickered slightly.
……
In Puban County, southwest of Hedong County, the open Pujin Ferry is covered with a thick layer of silver, and not far from the ferry is the training ground and barracks of the Hedong Army, and the sound of soldiers training can be vaguely heard in the wind and snow. The official road from the ferry to Puban County is flanked by inns, restaurants and people's houses, and further east is the tall Puban County.
Puban County is the capital of Yu Shun in the ancient Tang Yu era, the Pujin ferry is the most important passage between Qin and Jin, and the 20,000 elite soldiers under the command of Guan Yu are stationed around Puban County.
Puban County is directly facing Guanzhong Dong Zhuo and the Northwest Qiang people, is the forefront of Hedong County, guarding Anyi, the early peace years have gone through more than a dozen large and small battles, and Guan Yu is well aware of the importance of the Hedong base camp to Ji Ping, two years to mobilize the military and civilians, Puban County into an iron bucket general, now not only the county has doubled, but also the city wall has been heightened and thickened.
In addition, you can also see seven or eight large and small forts around the city, scattered to a degree, and the city is each other's arch guards, building an impregnable line of defense, which is Guan Yu requisitioned several local strong forts as military defense.
At this time, in the camp, Guan Yu was reading at night, and suddenly a soldier came to report: "There is Hu Ke from Xie County outside the camp who asks to see him." (To be continued.) )
PS: The unit chronicle took more than half a year, plus there were many things at the end of the year, and the update was shelved for more than half a year, and now it continues, I'm really sorry.
