Chapter 502: Withdrawal from the camp
Fortunately, this Wu Putou was not close to each other, and at this time, he was in a hurry, and the Min accent in the official language became more and more obvious, which made people hear it half clearly, and the rest of the people looked at Wei Qi and the two people, so they didn't pay too much attention.
There was such a big disturbance here, and the capital eunuch in charge of public security in Yongzhou City naturally couldn't stay out of the matter, he was dragged by Wu Yi in the state government to discuss matters, and at this time he came in a hurry with several subordinates on horseback.
This eunuch is an old official, and when he saw Gu Yanzhang and Wang Miyuan, he only made a hasty salute, then called a soldier guarding the city to come over, asked the matter again, and hurriedly stepped forward to appease the people.
He acted thoroughly, not like Wu Putou, who was unruly, and asked the soldiers to divide the people gathered here into several groups, and arranged for people to greet the injuries one by one, but all those whose heads were bleeding and the injuries were not light, all called the lower heads to help carry them to the nearby medical hall, and assigned people to comfort the people.
Seeing this person like this, Gu Yanzhang relieved his heart, he and Wang Miyuan were in a hurry to get out of the city at this time, and they couldn't wait for the city gate to settle down again, so they hurriedly took the token and went out of the city.
After Chen Hao became seriously ill, the big seal and the tiger talisman were given to Gu Yanzhang and another deputy general named Lu Xitang in the security army, and the two of them temporarily acted on their behalf, and when they returned to the camp at this time, Gu Yanzhang went to find the other party and wanted to transfer some soldiers.
The deputy general was not like Gu Yanzhang and the others, but came out of another door, because although he left late, because he was not blocked by the people, he arrived early, and at this time, he heard that Gu Yanzhang wanted soldiers, and he was a little strange when he landed, and asked: "What is the use of having such a large number of horses?" ”
Gu Yanzhang said about the situation at the city gate, and said: "Guangnan is different from the rest of the place, there are many mountains and mountains, and there are many villages in the middle of the mountain. ”
He also said: "And this autumn harvest has passed, and there is some surplus grain in each family, if you don't take precautions early, you will be plundered by thieves, one will lose money and goods, and the other is cheap, they will be cheap to fight to feed the war, and now they are told to ride fast horses, and every village and county have been explained, and the grain and straw can be hidden first, and people should hide quickly." ”
Although he has not been in Yongzhou for a long time, he can't personally inquire about everything in Ganzhou as before, but Ji Qingling has already helped to sort out all the customs, people, and geography of Guangnan that he can find, eliminating the extremely cumbersome steps in the early stage.
Guangnan West Road is mountainous and watery, it is said that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, there are many people here, all kinds of people live together, the population is mixed, it is easy to mess, and the rest of the state people who are willing to move from the Central Plains, most of them are not because of any good things at the beginning, it is because of ancient times to the present, they have not been very settled.
Whether it is the local people of Yongzhou, or the young people, it is not uncommon to make trouble and rebel, in the past, every time the court sent troops to quell the rebellion, to give some face, everyone hid on the mountain, seventeen or eighteen caves on a mountain, and there are thousands of mountains in a county, where can you find people? If you don't give face, you will fight directly in the mountains and forests, and the soldiers who have become formed in the DPRK and China may not be as good as their locals, who are familiar with the mountains and forests, and they are not accustomed to the water and soil, and they will lose more and win less when they fight.
Later, the imperial court also saw it, and simply gave a few of them the big surnames and young people to the local people, and gave them some silver money every year to raise them, telling them to surrender and take care of themselves, so that they could really settle down - less than the silver taels spent before.
However, looking at the stability is stable, the villagers near Yongzhou are familiar with the mountain road, Gu Yanzhang still doesn't dare to underestimate it, thinking that as long as he asks someone to pack up and hide quickly in advance, it shouldn't be so difficult.
Lu Xitang also heard Wu Yi speak in the yazhong today, and naturally knew how unreliable the Zhizhou of Yongzhou was now, and he had to help them clean up the mess in the end.
In this short moment, there were already several people outside the camp tent, all of whom were out to investigate, and they all said the same, all of them explained that the thieves were marching towards Yongzhou in a hurry, but if you want to ask how many troops, all of them are of different calibers.
Lu Xitang listened to a few rounds of spy reports, thought about it, turned his head and asked, "Yanzhang, according to your opinion, how many troops are there in this trip?" ”
Gu Yanzhang replied: "If you count the soldiers led by the master of the Yiying Cave in Guangyuan Prefecture, there should be 60,000 to say the least, otherwise he can't fight so fast, and Zhang Dujian's side won't be able to reply to the letter." ”
Lu Xitang nodded slightly, and then replied: "It is Qinzhou and Penn that have lost thousands of people, leaving thousands of people, and at least forty or fifty thousand people remain......
After he said this, he let out a long sigh and said, "This battle...... It's really hard to fight, I just hope that the reinforcements from North Korea and China will come soon......"
And he said, "I don't know when the festival will get better......
Gu Yanzhang didn't know how to reply for a while, so he could only sigh.
Chen Hao was too ill at the wrong time.
The commander of the three armies is not someone who wants to go up, although Lu Xitang is also a veteran of the army for many years, but if he wants to compete with Chen Hao, it is still too far away.
The counterinsurgency army was already scattered, there were the security army, the Guangxin army, the Tanzhou patchwork box army, and some Chen Hao on the way to the troops, there are four deputy generals, the four of them are born in a hundred battles, each has their own opinions on the war, if there is a big event, everyone has different opinions, no one wants to convince anyone.
After Wu Yi arrived in Yongzhou, he trained soldiers to go to Guangyuan Prefecture to practice martial arts, but the thousands of soldiers in the city were also very scattered, and there were not many who had been in battle, even if they were currently recruited, they could not be used immediately.
Gu Yanzhang has also fought in wars, and he understands too well what kind of virtue a person who has not experienced war is.
Before the arrow has been fired, they often squat on the ground with their heads in their hands, regardless of whether the place where the squatting place is the place where the arrow is being shot; The knife can be cut into the body of a thief, and he does not know how to pull it out, and sometimes he has to drop the weapon into the bones of people.
Only when the newcomer becomes an old man and is on the battlefield can he be counted as a soldier, and the rest will be good if he does not add to the chaos.
Now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, what is even more troublesome is that I also met Wu Zhizhou in the city who always wanted to intervene.
"Half-withdraw from the camp."
Several lieutenant generals gathered together to discuss for a while, and soon made up their minds and agreed to Gu Yanzhang's original proposal.
