Chapter 347: Ambush
It is a fact to say that the northern provinces of Hebei do not send reinforcements, but it is somewhat wrong to say that they will not save them when they see death.
In fact, when the letter of request for help sent to Changshan Kingdom in the north was sent to Feng Xun, the minister of Changshan State, Feng Xun had the intention to rescue.
But Liu Wei, the king of Changshan, sternly objected, saying that Changshan Country was not appeased, and this soldier was not enough for his own family, let alone used to rescue other counties.
Feng Xun had no prestige in the country, and he was a southerner, and under the opposition of Liu Wei, the king of Changshan, he could only be powerless.
What Liu Wei, the king of Changshan, said is also realistic.
That is, there are three chaos in Changshan.
One is the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the second is the Shanliao Rebellion, and the third is the Sect Thief Rebellion.
First of all, the first one is this yellow turban mess. This is also the biggest reason why Liu Wei, the king of Changshan, opposes sending troops. In fact, in April last year, the Yellow Turban Army rose up, and Changshan Guozhi Yuanshi City also had Yellow Turban Troops, and almost defeated the Yuan Army.
At that time, Liu Wei, the king of Changshan, was about to abandon the country and leave. Later, fortunately, the thieves of Changshan were recruited south by Sanzhang, and the Yuan clan was saved.
So Liu Wei is talking about the color change of the yellow scarf.
Although the Yellow Turban thieves were gone, with the disintegration of the Yellow Turbans in Hebei, many Qu Shuai Xiaohao, who were originally in the main road, returned to their hometowns and re-recruited people.
Now there is a yellow turban team of thousands of people in Changshan Country, and the thief is Feiyan. Coupled with the yellow turbans that were originally scattered around Changshan Country, there were at least one or two thousand yellow turban moths and thieves in the country.
Although these moth thieves were unable to break into the county seat, they were all distributed in the countryside to control the main roads, or farming and hunting for a living, or plundering business travel, which brought the traffic of Changshan Country to a standstill.
In addition to the yellow turban in the territory, there are also mountains in this Changshan country.
Changshan County was originally called Hengshan County, and it was named Hengshan County because of the Beiyue Hengshan Mountain in its territory. Later, in order to avoid Emperor Wen's ridicule, it was changed to Changshan County.
Changshan County is backed by the majestic Taihang Mountain and faces the flat plain. The Taihang Mountains, which stretch across the river, separates Hedong from Hebei.
There is only a long and narrow mountain road between the Taiyuan Basin and the Hebei Plain, which is the famous Jingcheng Road, which is in the Changshan Mountains.
In order to control this road, Changshan specially set up a pass, the famous soil gate, which is a place where soldiers of all dynasties must fight. In the past, Wang Jian attacked Zhao and Han Xin attacked Zhang Er, all of which went from this road.
But it is precisely because of this way that the mountain liao people on Taihang Mountain often go out of the mountain to plunder, and Changshan Guowei cannot control it. As a result, the thieves became more and more prosperous, and the northwest of several generals was made a paradise for the mountains.
There are yellow scarves and mountain liao, not counting, and the big clans that could be relied on have also gone farther and farther away from Changshan country, and now they have also become sect thieves.
These big clans all have barriers and tribes, are arbitrary, and even transnational villagers directly arbitrarily dictate a place.
There are 12 major surnames in Changshan, including Ma, Li, Wu, Zhang, Fan, Hao, Xi, Zhao, Guo, Han, Xie and Lang.
And there are seven big surnames that have become chaotic.
And the reason why this is so is also related to one thing, that is, the light is related to the four-year sacrifice of the Badu altar.
Since Emperor Huan of the National Dynasty, whenever there is a major drought, the officials of Changshan will ask for rain from the eight mountain gods in the territory, such as Fenglong, Sangong, Lingshan, Wuji and other mountain gods. In the process of praying for rain, the temple and monument were continuously built, and the Badu Altar was formed, which was the altar of the eight mountain gods.
As an activity to pray for the blessing of the people, it is natural that all the people of Changshan should share the cost. Of course, the minister of state will also report the matter to the court, and the court will also allocate a sum of money accordingly.
Since Emperor Huan, this money has basically been shared by the county and the twelve families. But since the current Minister Feng Xun came, this person did not pay attention to the rules, directly eliminated the twelve families from the sacrifice, and directly found the wizard Gai Gao, the superintendent Chengxi, and Wang Yi of Yuanshi County, and asked for money from the court, but replaced the original sacrificial Badu Mountain and replaced it with Heng Mountain.
Without their respective hills, seven of the twelve families lost their income from the sacrifice. But at that time, they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, because this Feng Xun was backed by the Zhang family, the biggest powerful man in Zhao State.
Zhang's family is more complicated, it is not only after Zhang Er, the king of Changshan, but also the family of the princes, and later in the period of Emperor Ling, there is a regular servant Zhang Feng.
They also married the Zhen family, a wealthy family in Zhongshan next door, and exchanged voices. It can be said that the Zhang family's great business is in great shape.
These seven can't be provoked.
But now it's different, the Han family is in decline, father and son are opposed, who cares about a foreign Taishou? In addition, the style of chivalry is prevalent in the Changshang area, and wild bravery is the tradition, and it is not to say that he does not accept the king
So these seven families rose up separately, armed their tribes, and became a small local force.
In this way, the Yellow Turban, Shanliao, and Sect Thieves were entangled with each other, making Changshan Kingdom unable to go south to rescue Xiangguo.
Just when King Changshan made a decision, a heroic man present was annoyed.
His person wore a black ribbon copper seal, and he started from the crowd and said to Changshan Guoxiang Feng in the hall:
"A husband can be a household dog. Mount Tai thief fierce and ambitious, this time to the north of Xiangguo, all the way unimpeded, but in Xiangguo for more than ten days, it is because of the city of Xiangguo. But if there is no help, it will be lost, once the Jiancheng Xiangguo is lost, they can calmly manage the Zhao land, and when the time comes, they will be full of false officials, forcing their people, robbing them to help the rebellion, and consolidating the grain and hoarding soldiers, and the more and more wide. He will go north again in the future, but there is still a country to defend?"
So, he said to Feng Xun bitterly:
"I don't save Xiangguo, I really save my Changshan, don't you still know the truth of eliminating one and the other, and your lips and teeth are cold?"
But it's a pity that this person looked at everyone in the hall, but he didn't dare to look directly at him, this person was angry in his heart, but he only looked at Feng Xun with expectation.
But it's a pity that Feng Xun also looks helpless.
At this moment, Liu Wei, the king of Changshan, sneered:
"Liu Changle, you are the same as your anti-ancestor, you are a sharp tooth. But it's a pity that I'm the king of Changshan, and your Zhending king's line has long since declined, this place, I say. Besides, you said so much, what if after sending troops, the country of Xiang has been broken? When the time comes, he will annoy the Taishan army and cause trouble to Changshan."
It turned out that the previous heroic man was called Liu Hui, whose name was Changle, and he was a disciple of the clan of King Zhending. When Guangwu came to Hebei, it was only with the support of the Zhending Wang's family that he was powerful. But later, Liu Yang, the king of Zhending, rebelled, and one of his veins declined.
This is called Liu Hui, who was told by Liu Wei, the king of Changshan, to break the family taboo in person, and his fists turned white, but he still endured the humiliation and said:
"If the country of Xiangguo falls, I wish to die to thank King Changshan. But doesn't King Changshan really know that after the destruction of Xiangguo, the next one is Changshan. At that time, did King Changshan abandon the country like last year?"
Liu Wei was so ridiculed and angry, he pointed at Liu Hui and said:
"You're just a mere fighter now, how much money is your life worth? Military strife is a matter of rise and fall, and you think that you can just die? Sure enough, it's a child. Shaft, this military affairs is not something you can do for you. Don't back down yet."
Liu Hui's face was flushed, and in the end he was unwilling to retreat.
As soon as he came out, Liu Hui's companion Guo Shu was in Daozuo with dozens of songs.
As soon as they saw Liu Hui coming out, Guo Shu and others surrounded him and asked how the troops were going.
Liu Hui's face was ugly, and he only shook his head.
Guo Shu is Liu Hui's Qi family. They really decided that the Liu family and the Guo family had been married to each other for more than ten generations, and they had long shared weal and woe.
So Guo Shu knew the real reason why Liu Hui wanted to send troops, and when he saw that the plan was not successful, he comforted Liu Hui:
"It's okay, Changle, there's a chance next time. We'll be able to seize this sooner or later."
But Liu Hui didn't have Guo Shu's Leguang, but laughed miserably:
"If there is chaos above us today, heroes rise together, and I'm still trapped in this Yuan clan. When will I be able to restore the will of my father!"
Suddenly, the sound of cars and horses came from behind him.
Guo Shu was worried that Liu Hui would say something that should not be said under the excitement, so he hurriedly reminded Liu Hui to silence.
Liu Hui hurriedly stabilized his mind and looked behind him.
I saw a Xuanhe convoy on the road driving out from behind, and the princely carriage and horses were obviously the chariots of King Changshan.
Even if Liu Hui received the atmosphere of King Changshan just now, he must abide by this dignity and humility, otherwise he will keep his tongue.
So Liu Hui took Guo Shu and his subordinates to kneel
Roadside (), waiting for the car of King Changshan to pass.
But while Liu Hui and the others were waiting, Chang Shanwang's convoy stopped. Then there was the ridicule of King Changshan from the car:
"Our Liu family is a tree, but some branches and leaves are destined to grow in high places, some are destined to be in low places, and some even accidentally fall into the dirt. Liu Changle, rest assured, I'm looking at you."
Hearing this, Liu Hui had already clenched his hands, grasping the loess on the ground and enduring his anger.
But suddenly Liu Hui heard Chang Shan Wang in the car again:
"By the way, your sister is really moist. Haha!"
As soon as these words came out, Guo Shu, who was kneeling together on the side, secretly said that it was not good, and then he heard a tiger roar:
"You dare to insult my sister?"
Seeing that in the midst of the heavy drinking, Liu Hui had already drawn his knife and burst out, and then got into Changshan Wang's car, and in an instant, the car was blood-red.
It happened so suddenly, neither Liu Hui's troops nor King Changshan's troops were prepared.
But Guo Shu reacted quickly, bent his bow and shot over a majestic general of King Changshan, and then shouted:
"Kill them all!"
Liu Hui's troops were ordered, and they all took bows and arrows to shoot at King Changshan's army.
For a while, the screams were repeated.
Although Liu Hui and the others were preemptive, King Changshan's army had a hundred people. On the one hand, they drew their knives and fought with Liu Hui's tribes, and on the other hand, several horsemen turned around and returned to the county government, shouting along the road:
"Liu Hui made a rebellion and suppressed it quickly."
"Liu Hui made a rebellion and suppressed it quickly."
When Liu Hui jumped out of the carriage, he was covered in blood and almost insane. Just now in the car, he directly chopped King Changshan into mashed meat, and a ring-headed knife was broken, which shows how deep Liu Hui's grievances with King Changshan are on weekdays.
He leaped from the car, flipped a soldier of the King of Changshan from his horse, and then snapped his fingers together and broke the neck of the man under him.
Liu Hui picked up this person's knife and wanted to kill it again, but he was hugged by Guo Shu, and he shouted:
"Let's hurry up, once the gates fall, we're dead."
The blood in Liu Hui's eyes quickly faded, and he asked blankly:
"Where can we go?"
Guo Shu helped Liu Hui onto an empty horse, beckoned his subordinates to get on the horse, and said:
"Heaven and earth are vast, you can't go anywhere, rush out of the city first."
So Liu Hui and others set up their horses and ran out of the city along the north and south streets.
It wasn't until Liu Hui left the city that the chasing county soldiers arrived.
Running on the road, Liu Hui had already thought of the way.
He turned around and ordered his subordinates to send all the scrolls in his house into the mountain, and then took Guo Shu to the southwest.
Avoiding possible pursuers along the way, Liu Hui finally came to a small dock wall outside Zanhuang Mountain.
He brought Guo Shu here to invite the master of the family to go out together.
The owner of this small wall is called Zhang Xiang, and his ancestor was the personal subordinate general of the Zhending Wang's family. It was only because these generations of Zhending Wang's family could no longer afford to raise so many samurai that his family was split up and came here.
But over the years, Liu Hui has the heart to restore the family's former parts, so he often walks around with these generals, and this is called Zhang Xiang, who is the most heroic among them.
When Liu Hui and the others came, Zhang Xiang was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted that the servants were subordinate to the wine and kill the chickens and entertain the master's family.
But Liu Hui looked at the food here, only sighed, Zhang Xiang knew that Liu Hui was a princely family, and he might not be used to eating this farmer's inferior wine and coarse dishes, so he quietly withdrew, and he had to call his wife to pawn some good ones and entertain Liu Hui.
But Zhang Xiang's wife is a heart, she saw Liu Hui and the others coming in a hurry, there must be something, unless she was worried about a few appetites, she asked Zhang Xiang to ask what happened.
Zhang Xiang patted his brain, and then entered the room and said bluntly to Liu Hui:
"My lord, why are you here in a hurry?"
Liu Hui fled all the way, he was already hungry, and he was about to eat the wine and food in front of him, when he heard Zhang Xiang ask. He () knew that there was no need to lie, so he told the truth all the way
Affair.
Finally, Liu Hui said to Zhang Xiang:
"The Han family bears my family. My ancestors destroyed their families in the past and helped Guangwu, and they even got along with Qin and Jin. But they didn't need us anymore, so they framed my ancestors for rebellion, and even killed my father and ancestors without edicts. This enmity has been remembered by us for generations. There is also a family of Changshan kings, who occupy my ancestral land and family house, and repeatedly oppress our clan. I can't bear this hatred, so I simply kill the king of Changshan first, and then seek justice with the Han family."
Zhang Xiang never expected that his old master would kill King Changshan, this is obviously a rebellion.z.
So he asked tentatively:
"Lord, what are your plans for the future?"
Liu Hui thought about the plan on the road and Zhang Xiang said:
"I look at many counties in Hebei to guard the country, either pigs and dogs or rotten bones, not people who have achieved things. On the contrary, the Taishan army between Wei and Zhao was mighty and mighty, and Qiu did not commit any crimes. Therefore, whoever can block this Hebei will be in the meantime. Therefore, I intend to go south to join the Taishan Army and fight for wealth."
Zhang Xiang heard that Liu Hui was going to defect to the Taishan Army, and asked rhetorically:
"Lord, I heard that the Taishan Army invited the poor to buy the land with Haoqiang, doesn't the lord mind his own land?"
Liu Hui laughed:
"That's why I want to defect to the Tarzan Army. Those who can do such extraordinary things will be extraordinary people. It's time for the world to turn around. Say me again? I am an eight-foot man, a prince rich and noble, but he takes it from a horse, and he will be like an ox and a horse drawing and camping on the field. So, Ah Xiang, what do you think?"
Zhang Xiang saw that Liu Hui wanted to understand so much, so he solemnly bowed to Liu Hui:
"Don't dare to die."
