Chapter 260: The Beacon Smoke Rises

Although Jincheng is fighting, but the merchants are still coming and going, the profits of the soap make the merchants of the family can't stop, although Geng is arrogant and domineering in Liangzhou, but he doesn't dare to disobey these secret shili, looking at the merchants who come and go to Jincheng just turn a blind eye, and the businessmen naturally don't want Jincheng to be broken by Geng's army, and Cheng Qiu, who led the army, has become a huge threat in their eyes.

Merchants spontaneously sold weapons, armor, grain and grass to the Jincheng Taishou Mansion.

The war entered a downturn, and Geng Cong's improvised army began to show its shortcomings, if Geng Cong chose to storm the city, no one was willing to sacrifice his life to step forward, and these soldiers were not willing to stay quietly in the city, constantly making trouble, so that Geng Cong was busy and anxious.

In the county seat where Geng Cong, the nominal official army, went to, basically all the old and weak women and children who chose to stay, and the style of Geng Cong's army made hundreds of people change their color when they heard it.

The officials under his command continued to admonish, and Geng Contempt, who was stunned by the victory for several days, angrily killed several officials who spoke unpleasantly, and did not do any restraint on the soldiers under his command, which aroused the anger of many people of insight, especially Geng Contempt killed the officials who admonished him, and the courtesy received by the scholars was extremely generous, even if the power of the state pastor is now very large, it is also very troublesome to openly kill the scholars.

After nearly half a year of raising the army, Geng's army only captured the land of six counties, and the soldiers of Jincheng retreated in the warrior city and confronted Cheng Qiu's army, while Han Sui was holding on to Geng Cong in Hanyang.

It was late autumn, and the Chinese army where Geng Cong was located suddenly let out a loud shout, and dozens of soldiers armed with ring-headed knives rushed out of the camp, one of them was holding a bloody human head, and if you looked closely, it was Geng Contempt.

Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers all changed color, and I don't know who roared "Lord Zhou Mu is dead", and the entire military camp was completely boiling.

Geng Contempt's death is too weird, and as for this general leading his troops to kill Geng Contempt, it is also incomprehensible to everyone.

Hearing the news of Geng Cong's death, the soldiers did not want to avenge Geng Cong, but rushed to the direction of the warehouse, frantically grabbing the grain, grass, weapons and armor in the warehouse, and many soldiers even fought because of this.

"Geng is despicable, why don't I take refuge in General Han Sui!" The general with the contemptible head in his hand shouted loudly.

The soldiers under his command responded with a bang, and followed the general towards the city where Han Sui was, and the camp tents and other objects on the road were also ignited by the soldiers, and the billowing smoke drifted into the air.

A cold arrow roared and struck down the general in the crowd with a contemptible head.

With a "poof", the arrow shot straight into the general's neck, and the tail of the arrow still trembled slightly.

The general held his neck unwillingly, fell to the ground with a "poof", struggled a few times in vain, and left reluctantly, his eyes wide, as if to see who put the arrow.

A Han army general not far away put away his longbow and scolded angrily: "There is no shame in selling the lord to seek glory!" ”

A man dressed as a general next to him stepped forward and asked, "General Liang, what should we do?" ”

General Liang said: "First collect the remains of adults." ”

"Han Sui is here!" Less than an hour after Geng Cong's death, Han Sui led the army to kill, and the army of Geng Cong, who lost his commander, was in chaos.

The entire barracks were in chaos, and many generals of Geng's contempt took the opportunity to win over the soldiers, intending to escape.

After Han Sui led the army to rush into Geng's army, he shouted all the way "those who surrender will not be killed", and wherever he passed, the soldiers surrendered in the wind, and the army known as hundreds of thousands collapsed instantly.

The news of Geng's death quickly spread throughout Liangzhou.

After Cheng Qiu, who was attacking Jincheng, heard the news, Xingye led the army to rush in the direction of Wuwei, and all the soldiers retreated lightly, and all the grain, grass and baggage were discarded.

Geng's death directly eased the situation in Jincheng and Hanyang, and after collecting the remnants of Geng's contempt, Han Sui took the opportunity to occupy the three counties of Ayang, Chengji, Pingxiang, and the lost city was also taken back by taking advantage of the situation, and countless grains and grass weapons were obtained, and the strength was greatly improved.

Let's say that Cheng Qiu led the soldiers to Wuwei, and the news of Geng's death was known to the whole army, and many generals in the army had already set their eyes on Cheng Qiu.

Cheng Qiu naturally sensed everyone's attitude, and asked Cheng Yin to lead the soldiers to guard him day and night, even when he was sleeping.

Three days later, Cheng Qiu was killed in the army, and the team led by him was disbanded, and Jincheng sent Zhang Xiu, Wulan, Mi Wei and other generals to march all the way and capture 10,000 enemy soldiers.

The initial army of hundreds of thousands was huge, but I didn't expect it to become such a result after only a few months.

At this time, the news that Jia Rong was still alive had already spread throughout the Han Dynasty, and Shili, who was peeking at Jincheng, restrained his thoughts.

At this time, Zhang Li of Jincheng and Han Sui of Hanyang were undoubtedly strong, especially Jincheng, with the support of strong financial resources, it was extremely easy to expand, but Han Sui captured the three counties of Ayang Chengji and Pingxiang, but Jincheng did not flee back, and still guarded the warriors with heavy troops.

After Dong Zhuo returned to Longxi with the army, relying on his prestige in Longxi, he took the opportunity to recruit troops and horses, and with the help of Li Ru, the entire Longxi gradually fell into his control, and the Longxi Taishou on the bright side also became Dong Zhuo's puppet.

After the defeat of Geng Contempt in the entire Liangzhou, various shili gradually emerged.

The sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, it has reached the fourth year of Zhongping.

In February, the Xingyang peasant rebel army captured Zhongmu and killed the county commander Bo, but was quickly wiped out by the Han army.

"Zhang Ju Zhang Chun united Wuhuan Qiu Liju to rebel, killed the captain of Wuhuan Guard, the rebels captured Yuyang County, and Zhang Ju was even more proclaimed emperor." When the news came out, it shocked the world, and Jia Rong also quickly got the relevant information through the Immortal Love Pavilion.

In the past, although Zhang Jiao rebelled, but under the banner of the general of Tiangong, he did not dare to openly call the emperor, the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, even if he was old, was still the supreme existence in the hearts of the people, and the yellow scarf damaged the majesty of the Han Dynasty to a certain extent, but there was no stimulation of this sentence to call the emperor, which was tantamount to a loud slap in the face of the Han Emperor in front of the people of the world.

The Han Emperor could tolerate rebellion and would never allow anyone to claim the title of emperor.

After Wuhuan rebelled and occupied Yuyang County, he continued to plunder the surrounding counties, Zhang Ju Zhang Chun took advantage of the situation, Lianke County, where the rebels went like locusts transiting, at the beginning, Zhang Ju Zhang Chun strictly restrained this, which attracted the opposition of many soldiers, and in the end, the two chose to compromise and let the soldiers burn and loot, and the people were miserable.

After a few months, Zhang Ju's rebel army had reached 100,000 people, all the way to Zhuo County, and confronted the Han army.

Zhang Ju proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, Zhang Chun proclaimed himself General Mitian and King Anding, and the two moved to Shuzhou County, claiming that Zhang Ju would be the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and asked the Han Emperor to abdicate, and the secretary of state welcomed Zhang Ju.

Zhang Ju's blatant rebellion has shown the decline of the royal family to a great extent.

The rebels had already plundered most of the counties of Youzhou and Jizhou in a few months, and Qiu Liju of Wuhuan occupied Yuyang, echoing Zhang Ju and Zhang Chunyao.

Emperor Han was furious when he heard this, and ordered the Southern Xiongnu to lead the army to attack Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, and at the same time issued an edict for Gongsun Zan to lead the army to quickly exterminate Wuhuan.

Unexpectedly, the Southern Xiongnu also led the army to rebel and did not listen to the orders of the imperial court.

For a time, the Han had no available soldiers.

With the arrival of more and more Wuhuan people, Gongsun Chan was trapped in the city, and asked Liu Yu for help to no avail, led the army to flee from Beiping, and fought and retreated.

There was a rebellion among the people in Changsha again, but it was suppressed by the army led by Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, the entire Han Dynasty fell into the mud of war, but the intrigue of the court never stopped.

Now Emperor Han's body is getting weaker and weaker, and he drags his sick body to the court every day.

The prince Liu Wei is older than the prince's association, but he has lived in the people since he was a child, and his behavior is a little frivolous after entering the palace.

It is said that Liu Wei's identity as the crown prince is nine out of ten, but he didn't think that the Han Emperor loved the prince Xie very much at this time, and he had the intention of making Liu Xie the prince.

Therefore, the hundred officials in the court are divided into two factions, one faction holds high the banner to support the prince's debate, headed by the general He Jin, and the reason is also very sufficient, the prince's argument is older, according to the rules set by the ancestors, the heir should be established as the prince, not to mention that the prince is still born to Queen He, and it is natural to become the prince.

The Han Emperor was inclined to the Emperor's Association, and naturally there were ministers to follow, and no one wanted to stand on the wrong side at such a critical moment.

The court is divided into two factions, arguing all day long, and there are very few people who really want to destroy the thief.

Jia Rong was in Guangyang County at this time, Zhang Chun rebelled, people were panicked, Youzhou and Liangzhou are the same, belong to the border, the war has been continuous in the following years, Xianbei and Wuhuan have rebelled in recent years, repeatedly invaded the border, plundered the village, and Liu Yu has been pursuing a Huairou policy, as long as it can be appeased, a few years later, Xianbei and Wuhuan are not grateful, but think that the Han is easy to bully, and Liu Yu is also very cooperative to send comfort items.

In the long run, it has further fueled the arrogance of these foreigners, and the general under his command Gongsun Zan is a belligerent, as long as every time he hears that the Wuhuan people or Xianbei are coming, he will definitely ask for battle, and Liu Yu's cowardly behavior every time makes the generals under his command lose their fighting spirit.

Gongsun Zhan studied under Lu Zhi, and he was also the number one person in Youzhou, he directly expressed his dissatisfaction with Liu Yu, and led the army to loot Liu Yu's pacification materials many times, so it can be said that the misunderstanding between him and Liu Yu was very deep.

After the last battle with Xianbei, the number of people in Baimayi surged from 3,000 to 6,000, and every time he attacked the Wuhuan people and the Xianbei people, Gongsun Zhan took the lead, killing from noon to evening without knowing that he was tired, and all the soldiers who surrendered were killed, and his hatred for the aliens was in his bones.

Gongsun Zhan's prestige deterred the Wuhuan people to a certain extent, but this time Wuhuan attacked on a large scale, and Gongsun Zhan's troops were insufficient, and he retreated.
