Chapter 167: Four Ways
Guo Si's death came to an end, but the rest of the wave will continue to fluctuate, but it is no longer Zhang Chong's main consideration, as the Lu State in the west and the Dongping State in the north are more and more frequent, Zhang Chong has to pay attention to the war that will break out.
In the sixth year of Guanghe, on February 25, the strategy of defending the east and advancing westward, that is, east of Mount Tai, was still defended according to the danger of Mount Tai, and the initiative was taken to attack west of Mount Tai.
Now in Fenggao, in addition to Wang Zhang, Ding Sheng, and Chen Huan under the command of Guan Yu, the original commander of the left school, there is also the Xie Bi department that was recently transferred from the mountains. The original army under the command of the right lieutenant Zhang Dan was Li Damu, Dian Wei, and Yu Ban, and recently Guo Liang's department in the mountain was also transferred out of the mountain and joined his military order.
In other words, at this time, west of Mount Tai, the Taishan army had gathered eight divisions and 4,000 elite soldiers. In Mount Tai, it was still the deputy Yang Mao and Du Man, who were all military officials, and took the two departments of Heifu and Wei Zhou to defend. It seems to present a situation of heavy left and light right, but Yang Mao has 1,000 elite soldiers, and 4,000 soldiers inside and outside the mountain, and the danger of Mount Tai is more than enough to defend the land.
On February 26, Ding Sheng's department was the main department, Wang Zhang's department was the deputy, and the second department went north, rushing to Bo County north of Fenggao, and Kecheng on the third day. Subsequently, Ding Shengbu was stationed outside the city, and Wang Zhangbu stayed in the city, sticking to the boundary between the hilly area of Mount Tai and the plains in Bo County.
At the same time, with Li Damu as the main and Yu Ban as the second, the second department went west, passed through the Lailai Mountain and the Lotus Mountain Pass, and entered the central part of Taishan County in the west, and launched an attack on Liangfu City. Liang Fu was frightened and abandoned the city, but Liang Fu conquered without a fight.
As for the Chinese army composed of Zhang Chong, Guan Yu, and Zhang Dan, the Chen Huan Division, the Dian Wei Division, the Guo Liang Division, the Xie Bi Division, the Tian Jun Division, the Xi Shen Division, the Dong Visit Division, and the Mengfu Division remained in Fenggao and were ready to support the two fronts at any time.
Boxian and Liang Fu captured successively, and it can be said that the military objectives in the early stage were initially achieved, but the chain reaction brought about by this was drastic.
In the north, as Ding Sheng captured Bo County, Chen Jue, the prime minister of Jibei who was still hesitant to patrol, quickly moved south from Junzhilu County to Snake Hill. Not only did the three counties in the north of the county be transferred to form a core army of 2,000 veterans, but also recruited 3,000 people to defend the city.
Snake Hill is located on Wenshui, and the reason why Chen Qijie, the prime minister of Jibei State, is stationed here is obvious, that is, Wenshui is used as a supply line and attack line. You can go down the Wen River and attack the enemy in Boxian, or even go further and attack Fenggao directly. You can also stick to the snake hill when you retreat, there is Wenshui, and the supply of Dongping Kingdom in the north will continue to send energy. When the time comes, there will be no food and salary in it, and the soldiers will have the heart to die, and this snake hill will be as solid as gold.
From this dispatch, it can be seen that Chen Qi, the prime minister of the northern kingdom of Jibei, is not an ordinary pure Confucian, he knows the art of war, and only one step was moved, and the northward passage of the Taishan army was blocked.
It is true that this Chen Qi is not an idler, he is the nephew of the late Taiwei Chen Qiu, from Huaipu County, Xiapi County, Xuzhou, and their Chen family is a family family with their own family history. Although in the second year of Guanghe, his uncle leaked the plan to eradicate the eunuchs because of Yangqiu, and died helplessly. But the impact of Chen's was not as big as imagined, and he still worked as a taishou in Jibei for another three years, caring for the people in a good way, and his surname was loved.
Therefore, once he sent troops, there was an endless stream of heroes and heroes who brought his subordinates to Snake Hill to join the army, just because they trusted him Chen Qi's reputation and ability. For example, in the current shogunate of Chen Qi, it can be said that the handsome people of Jibei Kingdom have gathered. Among them, the highest name is the contemporaries of the county Wangyan clan, Yan Yu, who is the twenty-third generation grandson of Yan Hui, and is also the head of the county's Shilin.
In addition, there is Dai Qi of Dai's in Jibeigang County. Dai's is also a virtuous family in the county, and the world is virtuous. His ancestor Dai Feng, filial piety and honesty, should be levied by the bus, and the countermeasure is the first. How high is his morality, at that time he was the magistrate of Xihua County, and then there was a plague of locusts in Ru and Ying, and the locusts only did not enter Xihua County, and even the locusts were influenced by his morality, and they would rather starve to death than eat the grain of Xihua, and the county was strange. Dai Qi also lived up to the name of his ancestors, and at a young age, he was already with the same county as Pan Zhao, Xu Yan, Xia Yin, and Liu Bin, known as the Five Dragons of Jibei.
And this time, these five dragons are all in the curtain, and the counselor's calligraphy and painting is also a momentary event.
In addition, there is also the son of the star of the county, Xinghe, who is a few heroes in the county, Yongguan County. Although their Xing clan is not famous, Xinghe's uncle is a remarkable figure, that is, Yang Xu of Taishan Nancheng, who is the leader of Taishan Goat Clan. Therefore, no one looked down on Hoshiga for a while.
For the gathering of heroes in the shogunate and the strong support of the county's heroes, Chen Qi couldn't help but be self-conscious, worthy of his three spit and feed three times a day, and do his best to care for the people. So, this is not a donation, what you do will always be remembered.
It's not that no one is worried, saying that this is too guarded Chen Jue will be resentful of the Han Court because of the tragic death of his uncle, and open the city to release thieves?
That's really groundless, like them, these clan families have already retired with the country, that is, a generation of someone who has a conflict with the court, that is also that person's own business, and it does not represent their Chen family. So when Chen Qiu had an accident, the officials of many of their Chen clan's children did it. This is the relationship between their clan and the Han court, fighting but not breaking.
The same reaction occurred in Liang Fu. It's just that the chain reaction stirred up here is much more violent than that of Zhanbo County.
Liang Fu is located in Taishan County, and the geographical situation is quite critical. First of all, he controlled the pass of Lailai Mountain and Lianhua Mountain, which was the western gateway of Fenggao, and then he was located in the north of Mengshan Mountain, sharing the danger of Mengshan with the south of the county.
Therefore, when Liang Fu broke down, the combined forces of the three counties stationed in Nanwuyang were shocked three times a day. Originally, after the former Taishou Zhang Ju was dismissed, the joint soldiers of the three counties in the south of the county were in a group of dragons without a leader. It's not that Han Ting didn't think about sending another Taishou, but the funny thing is that when the various councilors who were running around were going to go to the fallen Taishan to be the Taishou, they either called themselves sick, or went into seclusion in the mountains, and what else did they say:
"Since ancient times, people have loved fame and fortune, but I love mountains and rivers."
Seeing that the soldiers were so afraid of death, the court was also worried that speaking out would chill the hearts of the county chiefs below, so they dragged it out again and again.
Originally, there was Yangzhi in charge of the three counties in the south of the county, but last winter, whether the party elder did not survive or died, and then the families really had to die because of the fight for this leader, after all, during the period of stationing in Nanwuyang, there was a lot of money and food in hand, not to mention that there was such a information about the military chief, which was extremely important to all the heroes.
As for the danger? What danger can there be, I haven't seen those Taishan thieves lying in the nest for more than half a year, and I haven't seen any movement. But as the Taishan thieves suddenly went south to Liangfu, the heroes no longer competed, but the Mesozoic leader of the Yang clan, Yang Xu, as the main general, was responsible for blocking the Taishan soldiers from going south.
This Yang Xu is naturally what I said before, the uncle of Xinghe, the hero of Jibei Kingdom, was named by him in the second party election, so according to common sense, he is not a Han official. But at this time, who really cares about this? Whoever has prestige, who can bear the weight, can be the main general, it's that simple.
However, compared with the rabble of the three southern counties of Taishan County, the country of Lu in the north is much more appropriate.
Lu County already belongs to Yuzhou, but just north of Liangfu, over several mountains in central and southern Lu, through Surabaya, you can enter the territory of Lu State. Therefore, when the Taishan army took Liang Fu, the Lu State in the north also took action.
This Lu Guoxiang is Chen Yi, who is also newly appointed. His appointment as Lu Guo's prime minister is something that really makes some establishment party members want to sue. It turned out that this gentleman was the son of the old lady Chen Fan, when the old lady and the general Dou Wu participated in the coup d'état and were killed, and his son was rescued by friends to survive. And this time to encircle and suppress the Taishan thieves, Yang Ci, who only served as a lieutenant last year, recommended Chen Yilai to be the prime minister of Lu Guo, and an important reason for persuading the country Liu Hong at that time was that if he didn't open a crack for the imprisoned party, someone would really go to the thief.
In the end, Liu Honglai thought about the stakes, so he dismissed Chen Yi alone, and let him be the prime minister of Lu, forcing him to be loyal.
After that, Chen Yi rode into the country of Lu and presided over the encirclement and suppression. As soon as he entered the county, he saw Fan Xiang and Fan Jiajing, one of the eight cooks of the party's predecessors, and invited him to enter the curtain and be responsible for assisting in the money and grain. In addition, Kong Rong, who was already famous and handsome for a while, was also pulled into the shogunate by Chen Yi.
When the Taishan army broke through Liangfu, Chen Yi did not sit in the county of Zhilu, but crossed Surabaya and set up a large camp on the north bank of Surabaya. And although he was only the first minister of Lu, because many major clans in the country, Kong, Meng, and Fan supported him, he finally let him recruit 3,000 soldiers. But to be honest, from Chen Yi's point of view, the soldiers of the Lu State are really weak, and it seems that these Lu people no longer have the martial virtues of Confucius who was a nine-foot man to convince people.
Therefore, with only these 3,000 soldiers, Prime Minister Chen Yi can only stick to the north of Surabaya if he wants to fight.
In addition, there is a road, which is the prime minister of Langya and Tan Mo. Langya is a vast country with a sparsely populated population, with only 20,000 households and less than 600,000 mouths. Then there are many wealthy families in the country, and the family of King Langya has tens of thousands of people, in addition to the Liu family of the counties, these are mostly after the king of Chengyang Jing, and they are also the heroes of the counties. In addition, there is also the Tobu Fu clan, the home of the current world of classics, which is not much to introduce, after all, Du Man studied from the Fu clan. In addition, there are also Gumu Tong clan and Xu clan are all big families. In addition, there is the Linyi Wang family, the most famous of this generation is Wang Rong.
Of course, I heard that some Xiangshi had given them the order of the Wang family, saying that their Wang family crossed the river and prospered, but I don't know what it means. Then there is Yangcheng Ge's family, and the Zhuge family is not all the way, the Zhuge family was originally Zhucheng Ge's, and later moved to Yangcheng, in order to distinguish it from Yangcheng Ge's, it was renamed Zhuge Shi. Everyone in the Zhuge clan is familiar with it, and Zhuge Jue is still serving as his Hanjun Cheng.
But don't look at the people of Langya, who are less rich and stronger, but the people are not. After all, there are so many thieves in Langya Mountain? The heroes were not reluctant to do so, and they had already been eaten.
In short, no matter what you say, as the Taishan army marched north and west, a four-way encirclement and suppression circle was formed.
