Chapter 119: Deliberation
"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is really wrong, the imperial army arrived in a hurry, and it was a difficult time.
In the past few days, the Yellow Turban Army has been repairing in our county, recuperating and recuperating, and the spirit is acceptable.
However, in the appearance of the military formation, our Han army is going to break it immediately!
This disadvantage also! ”
Hu Wang, the county magistrate, stood on Liu Qi's left, pulling a goatee, his brows furrowed, and he didn't let go.
The county Cheng Fuxiang, the main bookkeeper Ye Shou, the general Sun Guan and others, mostly stood on the corner tower, watching a few miles away, and a war could break out at any time.
The appearance of everyone is also the same as Hu Wang, more dignified.
According to the military strategy, the men and horses of this side are in a difficult situation, and when they repair to gather the rear, they should find an opportunity to fight, even in the face of the Yellow Turban Army, although it is not a few years ago, but it is also not to be careless.
But the movement of the Han army in the hills ahead can be seen at a glance, and this is the situation when it has just arrived, and it will have to fight a decisive battle with tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops.
Looking down from above, the generals of the Yellow Turban Army were obviously taken aback by the actions of the Han army, and after a short period of panic, they also lined up in a crooked military formation, meeting the enemy with the terrain.
Liu Qi didn't speak, and he unconsciously remembered Bao Hong's life.
In the fifth year of Hanzhongping, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, was setting up the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, and Bao Hong was one of them. In the same year, due to the Yellow Turban Army, Bao Hong was ordered to send troops to attack it, although he won, he was later imprisoned and died due to embezzlement of more than 10 million military salaries.
As the saying goes, the country is easy to change and difficult to change.
Bao Hong sent troops to attack this time, and when Liu Qi first heard his name, he was worried. This time, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, with Beihai Country as its base camp, has intensified, and today, the momentum has long surpassed that of Bao Hong in the face of the Yellow Turban Army in Gepi County.
If Bao Hong is corrupt again this time, he will not appease the soldiers well, and many people will be dissatisfied.
Like many people who are full of anticipation in the imperial army, but the greater the expectation, the more disappointment.
What is certain is that once defeated and retreated, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army will inevitably rise sharply, and it may even abandon Shouguang City and take the core of Le'an County, and the Qingzhou Rebellion will be difficult to calm down for a while.
Liu Qi can only pray that Bao Hong can win and stabilize the place. As for all the things in the army, there are also impeachments in the imperial history, and Bao Hong's merits are wrong, but he can't escape the mouth of Youyou.
The soldiers in the city, including some of the county officials who came here to watch the situation, watched Liu Qi not move like a mountain, and they were all relieved.
The people in the city are still stable under the pacification of the county officials on duty. Many people know that the imperial army is outside, in order to relieve the plight in the city, and has imagined that after the Yellow Turban Army retreats, they will rebuild their homes.
"Look, everyone, my Han army has moved!
The cavalry went first, straight to the front of the Yellow Turban Army, and the footmen marched behind, ten thousand people were galloping, and the courage was indescribable, and I seemed to dare that the earth was trembling! ”
A county official shouted excitedly, and everyone looked over, and sure enough, they saw the Han army in the distance, lined up in the terrain, and it only took less than half an hour to repair it, and then they swooped down towards the Yellow Turban Army.
The leader of the Yellow Turban Army did not retreat but advanced, driving ten thousand troops to catch up.
At this time, the county officials said that the whole city also felt the shaking of the earth.
And looking at the corner tower, dense figures several miles away in the distance rushed to each other, and soon rushed together.
Fortunately, outside Shouguang City, there are only a few small hills and mountains within a radius of more than ten miles, and most of them are flat land.
The inside is connected by acres of fields, but unfortunately under the natural disaster, there is no need for soldiers to step on it, and the grain dies early.
A battle of tens of thousands of people is by no means a one-time victory.
But looking at the Han officials on the battlefield, he couldn't help but pinch a handful of Han in both hands.
Liu Qi watched for a while, and then returned to the official residence.
Shouguangcheng was only surrounded by soldiers for more than three days, but this time the people who took refuge in the city were specially put in for him, including the villagers of Linxian County, with tens of thousands of people, and the grain and grass were consumed every day, even if a meal of gruel a day was used to continue life, but it was already an astronomical amount.
In the past few days, the main bookkeeper has been so young that he has grown a lot of gray hair. The generals Sun Guan, Li Zhan, Liu Zhi, and even Tai Shici, who had just joined the city, were busy every day in order to maintain discipline in the city and the safety of the city.
People are waiting for the imperial army to break the siege, but Liu Qi still has to make the worst plan, the imperial court this time with Bao Hong as the main general, leading 30,000 troops to crusade, the Yellow Turban Army has become a climate, as he just thought in the city, if because of Bao Hong's light enemy reasons, the Han army was defeated?
"Shouguang City is stubbornly defended, it is difficult to solve its danger, if the Han army loses, we must assist the imperial army to reverse the situation!"
Liu Qi had already made the worst plan before, that is, the imperial army was delayed, and the city of Shouguang was gathered to collect grain and grass from all over the place, and it was limited to guarding half a month.
However, if the imperial court is defeated in the rebellion and the army, and the court and the central government are unable to raise grain and grass to fight, Qingzhou may fall into several years of turmoil, reproduce the chaos of the late Han Dynasty, and divide the territory with the local Yellow Turban Army, until the strong people will be pacified.
It is impossible for him Liu Qi to wait so long, leaving the county in a state of poverty, often disturbed by the Yellow Turban Army, and even in danger of overthrowing the county.
How long can the people in the city hide? What about after January?
Of course, he was originally a local magistrate, and after he was a clan, it was even more impossible for him to surrender to the Yellow Turban Army.
Thinking about it carefully, since Shouguang has been in the past month, thinking about the situation, he has to be passive and defensive.
With more than 1,000 people in his hands, he only won one victory in the previous game, and it was difficult to resist in the face of thousands of Yellow Turban Army.
Since the strength is weak, if the imperial army is defeated, it will be difficult for the court to help for a while, so he can only recruit people and horses again, carry the banner of stabilizing the place, and think that the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and even the courtiers, are very happy to see it.
"Let's go and summon Gong Cao Peng, as well as the thief Cao Peng, and Xu Dubo!"
Liu Qiyu got up, removed the map hanging on the wall, and said to the clerk who delivered the paperwork.
Regarding the military aspect, he did not involve too much of the county Chengfu Xiang and others. Such as Sun Guan, Wang Kai, Wang Zhi, Li Zhan and others, they are not his confidants.
"No!"
Remembering the officials, Liu Qi paced back and forth, but he was also a little worried about his hometown Gai County.
When leaving, Ma and other Du Township clans had already begun to recruit villagers, and under his suggestion, they set up several military villages to protect the countryside and prevent bandits, and only waited for him to send one person to take charge. This is also a big family in Du Township, and he is kind to Liu Qi. Liu Qiqing also needs a generation of spokesmen to solicit and arrange the township party.
Originally, he planned to let Li Zhan go to Shouguang with him for a period of time, and then return from him, but this time it was delayed due to the turmoil of the Yellow Turban Army.
However, the rebellion in Beihai was most affected by Langya County, and according to Liu Qi's news from Jiang Pei's mouth during his tenure in Changxi, Xuzhou did not guard against bandits and the resurgence of Taiping Dao, and with a large number of people going south, the recruitment and training of prefectures and counties increased greatly, which was by no means comparable to Qingzhou, which had become desolate due to natural disasters and man-made disasters in the past two years.
Therefore, as long as Langya County can deal with it, there is a high probability that it will be able to resist it, so that the Taiping Dao power will not spread.
This kind of worry, with Sun Guan, Wang Kai and others, was summoned one after another, and quickly dissipated.
A wave of unevenness has risen again and again.
For him Liu Qi, solving the dilemma that has reappeared in front of him is the key.
Outside the city, the battle between the Han army and the Yellow Turban army began at sunrise and continued until dusk.
With a burst of cheers in the city, Liu Qi, who had already discussed with Sun Guan and others for most of the day, had to report.
The Han army has follow-up reinforcements coming, morale has increased greatly, dare to rush before dark, go all out to kill, the battlefield has been fighting all day long Yellow Turban Army, all rout!
"The Han army has won!"
After this news reached the official house, Sun Guan, Wang Kai and others also had smiles on their faces.
But after the joy, Wang Kai took the lead in calming down, and he raised his head and said: "But in order to maintain the peace of the township, the proposal of the county monarch, even if the Han army wins a big victory, Kai thinks that it still needs to be continued."
Even if most of the Yellow Turban Army is wiped out, according to the situation in Qingzhou in the past two years, especially in the land of Yiguo and Shouguang, there will be bandits who flee to occupy the mountain as the king.
Today, the county magistrate has sent a letter to the central government and the prefectures and counties to explain that it is imperative to build a 3,000-man army in the area of Judian Lake with Shouguang as the center, so as to quell the bandits and settle the locality.
This ministry can be led by the county king, and the military expenditure, the central government and the state and county temples, must be excused, and we and other Shouguang industry, after writing to the imperial court, can get subsidies from the inside......"
Le'an County is Wang Kai's hometown, although most of the immediate family members used to take refuge in Langya, but in his homeland, Wang Kai still misses it.
This time, with Liu Qi staying to do things, he developed in his hometown, had more views, and also had a heart of support.
A few hours ago, after the county commander Liu Qi proposed to expand the ministry, that is, to defend the place, Wang Kai was the first to speak out and approve.
He was familiar with his hometown, and when Liu Qi planned to set up the camp in Judian Lake, where he had recruited and trained troops in the past, Wang Kai put forward a lot of suggestions.
And his ideas in this coincide with Liu Qi's concepts.
That is, in the house, Sun Guan or Wang Zhizhi, he already knew Liu Qi's intentions, and he had this plan, so he couldn't stop his head.
An hour later, the night was dark.
Liu Qi came to the city again, the Yellow Turban Army did retreat, retreating more than ten miles to the south, and the Han army had gradually reached the city not far away.
This victory of the Han army was not a big victory, but it thwarted the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army.
The Shouguang crisis is over temporarily, but Liu Qi and others also understand that the real test of the counterinsurgency army is still in Beihai State, fighting with the main force of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Gentlemen, come with me and go out of the city to meet my Han army general!"
Liu Qi felt that the time was almost up, so he asked his brother Liu Zhi, who was guarding the west gate, to open the city gate and prepare to lead the crowd to visit.
There was not much food in the city, and there was still a lot of relief for the victims, not to mention alcohol.
When he led the county people, including Tai Shici and others, to visit the Han military camp together, he also asked Li Zhan to escort an ox cart to accompany him.
That is, there is no power to sacrifice the army, so it can only start from Bao Hong himself.
There are a few large boxes in the car, which are actually covered with straw, but inside are Liu Qilai Shouguang, so that Sun Guan, Ye Shou and other pioneers escorted the property, which is used as the county to recruit townspeople, people's livelihood and other purposes.
But knowing Bao Hong's habits, the last thing Liu Qi wants at the moment is to have a gap with the generals of the counterinsurgency army.
If Bao Hong wins, most of them will guard Qingzhou for a period of time, and the merits are also from the above table, not to mention the follow-up disaster relief things, and the Son of Heaven will also supervise them.
The gentleman is frank, and the villain is often related.
Bao Hong is greedy for money and makes things difficult for him, which is by no means a good thing.
In the face of such a "villain", he insisted that more things are better than small things, and he also considered Shouguang place. I would like to give some of my property to reduce unnecessary troubles for Shouguang and buy peace.
Liu Qi has great ambitions, how can he turn his head in such a thing.
