(I didn't go out this afternoon, so I should add it quickly, so that the brethren don't complain about me.)

All the armies and generals returned to Beijing one after another, except for the few people who were in charge of countering the rebellion under Yang Guang's order, everyone else who could come back came back, including Yang Xuangan who was in Luoyang.

Lai Hu'er took 6,000 people into Hebei, and was directly beaten out by Xiao Miao, so he had no choice but to retreat to Yuyang County and look for an opportunity to go south.

Once his own people turn their faces, it is a mortal enemy, after all, Xiao Mo is a generation of heroes who have left a name in history, he fooled the soldiers below and said that Laihu'er deliberately let them die, because we are all southerners, Laihu'er, the dog, no longer regards himself as a southerner.

How foolish the soldiers are, they are ordinary people, and they basically have no ability to think for themselves, and what they say above is what they say.

Besides, it's hard not to think about the original way of playing Laihu'er.

As a result, more and more Xiaoguo deserters heard the news and joined Xiao Miao's command, making his number skyrocket to 30,000.

These people are going home, and the north is not their home, but if they want to go south, there is a pass that needs to be passed, and the big thief in Hejian County, Ge Qian.

This person has already been called the king, King Yan, and the base is called Douzi Halogen, what kind of place is this?

"Geographical Interpretation" records: the beans between the rivers are browned, and now the salty water is also bored, going to the sea for forty miles, and the land is repulsed by the salt, which is the salty water Gu town in the northeast of Jinnan District, Tianjin.

Hejian County has been taken by him, and he originally planned to take the granary after Zhuo County, and then fight Boling County, but the old Cui family is more difficult to gnaw, and he can't move without food.

But Xiao Mo is now in Zhuo County, which makes him afraid to enter.

"Xiao Milling, the anti-bone thief, just occupied Zhuo County and Gu'an County, and didn't enter Ji County at all, the granary is in Ji County, and there are still some people under Taishou Wei Baoluan, and Lai Hu'er has also arrived, Xiao Milling sent someone to contact us, and want to take advantage of the road to go south, I don't think we can let him go like this,"

The person who spoke in the tent was Geqian's love general, Gao Kaidao.

He himself is a bone thief, and he is embarrassed to say that people are miling.

Lao Gao's family is also reversed, why? It's popular, Shandong is all reversed, and I Hebei is also reversed so much, if I don't rebel, they will come to rob me, if I rebel, they will only want me to join.

Therefore, after the family urgently discussed, let the side branch of Gao Kaidao raise the anti-flag, and occupied the three counties of Bohai, Xindu, and Pingyuan in one go, don't you say it, this trick is very effective, the refugees who are pouring in towards the three counties from all over the country, as soon as they heard that there are also thieves here, they have fled one after another, as for those small bandits, they naturally do not dare to come in.

At such times, law-abiding citizens must be more afraid of thieves than officials.

Xindu County, originally the base camp of Yujuluo, after his northern expedition, the old subordinate Duan Zhongkui was in charge of the military government, this person had fought Wang Bo with Gao Kaidao before, and was once a comrade-in-arms, Gao Kaidao used to use people's trust in him, called open the city gate, and then killed Duan Zhongkui and took over Xindu County.

Bohai County and Hejian County were next to each other, and after Ge Qian rebelled, he sent people to contact the Gao family, hoping that the Gao family could rely on him.

It's a must, the big family is like this, when you struggle, let's work together, and when you share the money, we will be the first to kill you.

You don't want to think about it, you only occupy one Hejian, and the Gao family occupies three counties, they are attached to you, can they be peaceful?

After Gao Kaidao followed Ge Qian, he became a general under his account, and Gao Shida, another member of the old Gao family, went deep into Qinghe County, where he gathered a group of displaced people and rebelled, and the base was called Gaojibo.

Ge Qian frowned and said: "These southern barbarians, but they are all deserters, their combat effectiveness is good, and they still have refined weapons on their bodies, if we don't let him pass, there will be a conflict, it will be not good for me." ”

"Can't let him go," Gao Kaidao said: "He is in Zhuo County, he can help us to come to protect Er'er and Wei Baoluan, as soon as he leaves, we will come up to protect Er, this person can't be despised ah, don't look at the lack of family." ”

Ge Qian said: "It's really embarrassing, I have sent someone to contact him, hoping that he can join us to attack Laihu'er, but Xiao Mo said that his soldiers are eager to return to their hometowns and don't want to stay in Hebei for a long time, what do you say you can do?" ”

"Make a covenant with him, as long as you help us take Jixian County, you will give them a way to go south, otherwise don't even think about it," Gao Kaidao said:

"He has a request for us now, the official warehouse in Zhuo County has long been out of food, relying on looting civilians, how long can he resist? Coming to protect him is to clean him up. ”

The military master Zu Junyan said: "Lai Hu'er is not here to clean him up, but to clean up us, the lord has been called the king, this is the most intolerable in the imperial court, come to Hu'er to distinguish the order, he is now gathering the soldiers in the northeast, not moving like a mountain, just to see us and Xiao Milling fighting, and Xiao Milling is like an arrow, at this time to force him to form an alliance, not the best policy." ”

This person, in history, can be regarded as the number one person.

His father, is the left servant of the Northern Qi Shangshu to shoot Zu Ting, but also a figure who leans towards the government and the opposition, but the evaluation of later generations is not high, a talented man who is both civil and military, talented, and also a treacherous and clever villain who accumulates greedy money.

His son Zu Junyan was recommended to Yang Jian by Xue Daoheng in the early years, after all, this person is really talented, but Yang Jian said at the time: Is it right to kill Hu Lu Mingyue and be evil? I'm useless.

In a word, it is equivalent to cutting off Zu Junyan's career.

Who is Hu Lu Mingyue? The famous Hu Lvguang, the word Mingyue, the old Qi Xianyang King, the battle of Bishan defeated the Northern Zhou Dynasty Sima Wei Chi Hui, Qi Gongyu Wenxian, the battle of Luoyang defeated Wei Xiaokuan, countless military exploits, ranked in the martial temple.

In the book "Book of Northern Qi" written by Li Baiyao, it is commented as follows: The son of the above general has the posture of Shen Yi, tactical military power, secretly the same strategy, defeats the enemy, and has no way to change

Emperor Wu of Zhou Yu Wenyong also said: If this person is here, how can I reach Ye!

And Hu Luguang was killed by Zu Junyan's father.

The son of such a person, does Yang Jian dare to use it? Zu Junyan can't get along in the land of Old Qi, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be a military advisor to a bandit with such a terrific background.

And the famous "Luozhou Wen for Li Mi" in history was written by him.

One person has a famous song: "The bamboo of the South Mountain, the book crime is not exhausted, the waves of the East China Sea are broken, and the evil is inexhaustible." ”

It was written by Zu Junyan and published by Li Mi, and historically, the relationship between the two of them was that of a leader and a secretary.

Ge Qian is not an ordinary person, he is also weighing the pros and cons, whether Xiao Mo goes or stays, the stakes are very high, and if he is not careful, it will be a catastrophe.

Don't look at the many people who come up with ideas under his account, but Ge Qian is an assertive.

As Zu Junyan said, he is the king, and he also implements the "equal body system" in the four counties, which means that the identity of generals and soldiers is the same, as long as you make meritorious contributions, you can also be a general.

He did this, in fact, to gain the support of the people below and avoid being overshadowed by the generals, after all, everyone is a thief, and no one is a head taller than others, so he must buy the hearts of the soldiers in order to ensure his own safety.

However, the effect of this system is very huge, because it does not ask about origin.

"This king thinks that he still has to let Xiao Mo go," Ge Qian said in a deep voice: "This person is a relative, dare to disobey in front of the battle, there is nothing he can't do, and his command is the elite of Xiaoguo, if there is really a conflict, it is not good for me, and it is not so easy for Hu'er to go south, Hebei is not up to him now." ”

When the Xiaoguo army arrived at him, it became an elite.

Gao Kaidao sighed: "Come to protect the prestige of the far-reaching, far more terrible than Xiao Miao, if you want to fight against it, you can't rely on us alone, you have to contact Gao Shida, as well as Meng Haigong of Jiyin County, and the Wagang Army that captured Wuyang County, as well as Wang Bodang of Wei County, they don't want to come to Hu'er to destroy us, right?" ”

Wuyang County is just south of Qinghe County, Zhai Rang did not dare to go to Shandong, so he entered Hebei, and under the reception of the treasure of Chengyuan in Wuyang County, he took the capital Guixiang County.

Wang Bodang, the anti-thief leader of the Wei army next door, has already led the army to join him, and now they are fighting Wei County, in fact, they are looting grain, and the army needs to be spent.

Otherwise, Zhai Rang would not have gone to the county seat, he had to accumulate family business, his command was full of Henan people, people didn't want to be too far from home, and they would have to fight Henan in the future.

Either the boy is ambitious in all directions, and you are ambitious in your hometown, and you basically can't become a climate.

Ge Qian said: "Gao Shida is your clan, you are responsible for liaison, I heard that there are two generals under his command, Dou Jiande and Sun Anzu, tell him, as long as you help us resist Lai'er, we will help him take Qinghe County in the future." ”

Gao Kaidao could only nod.

Yujuluo went down from Shanxi, because he was going to Luoyang to transfer troops, and he only came to Hu'er to take the Zhuojun Road, but he came to Hu'er, and he couldn't come to Yuyang County, so he could only find Deng Wei, the governor of Liaodong Prefecture, the head of the end of the Aodong Metropolitan Governor, the Great Beggar Zhongxiang, and the leader of the Heishui Department of Longquan Agu Lang for help.

He has to have soldiers, and now these 6,000 people can't even make a splash when they go to Hebei.

"It's the most difficult errand to go back and do, alas," General Fei Qingnu sighed in the capital of Yuyang County, which is also the only county seat of Wuzhong County Office: "Zhang Xutuo is in the center of the chaos, and he is not easy to do, Shandong is a mess, this counterinsurgency, I don't know when it will end." ”

Lai Hu'er said lightly: "Let's solve the problem of food first, between us and Wei Baoluan, there is a rebel army, Deng Wei is preparing grain and grass, and he can't quench his thirst." ”

"Then why don't you destroy this rebel army caught in the middle?" Lai Chengmin grumbled.

Lai Hu'er smiled: "Xiao Mo preached among the rebels that I came to Hu'er to care for the lives of the soldiers, I can't let him sit down, so I will send people to persuade those rebels to join, first, I can't stimulate Xiao Mo at the moment, so as not to make him dispel the idea of going south, and attack me in turn, although this possibility is not big, my current command is also the Jianghuai Army, and the enemy army is robes, can't fight, moreover, there is also the intention of dividing it, this person has already sat big, and after going south, it will be a big trouble." ”

Xiao Xuan is also here, it is the most unpleasant in his heart, his own people became rebels, and he lost the face of the Xiao family, the emperor gave you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, not to give you the opportunity to rebel, you are especially brave enough.

I only heard him say: "Does the chief manager think that these rebels in Hebei will let Xiao Mo go south?" ”

Lai Hu'er nodded: "Definitely, southerners don't like the water and soil in the north, and can't adapt to the climate here, Xiao Mo wants to control this army, he must go south, whoever stands in his way, he will fight whom, if someone doesn't understand this truth in the early stage and wants to stop him, after suffering a loss, no one will stop him later." ”

Fei Qingnu said: "Things are difficult to do here, now Hebei is a lot of thieves, few officers and soldiers, and we can't have any contact with any of them, I am afraid that we will be charged with colluding with thieves, in other words, the chief can only rely on his own strength to suppress this vast number of thieves." ”

Anti-thieves can negotiate with each other and reach some kind of agreement, but officers and soldiers cannot, and officials and bandits are incompatible.

Lai Hu'er has the heart to do this, but he is also afraid of being caught, after all, he is a general who leads the army outside, different from the court, the henchmen around him and the henchmen from afar, in the eyes of the emperor, are two people.

So his current situation is that as long as he enters Hebei, it will be a non-stop campaign, and the few friendly troops are pitiful, almost all of them are enemy troops.

But it can't be delayed for too long, the current thieves will not easily go to the county seat, because the loss is too great, and the defeat will also affect its military morale, causing internal instability, but after a long time, those county towns will definitely not be able to hold on, and when the ammunition and food are exhausted, they may directly surrender to the rebels.

At that time, Laihu'er was not a counterinsurgency, and it was no different from attacking a city.

Lai Hu'er said: "Zhang Xutuo knows that I am in the north, I must lead the army to meet with me, he can't hold it in Shandong, I can't hold it in Yuyang, only the army is the best policy, back to the division's army, some are going back to Luoyang, Yujuluo wants to come to the place, he will find a way to mobilize the Luoyang army to the north, then the three will work together, first suppress Hebei, and the rest will not be afraid." ”

His current communication with Zhang Xutuo and Yujuluo is completely interrupted, and he can only rely on tacit understanding, as long as he is a soldier who knows the army, he knows that he should fight Hebei first.

Shandong has no danger to defend, staying there is not much effect, Henan has Luoyang, Luoyang around Luoyang can not be lost, Henan can not change the sky.

Only Hebei, which is a place to achieve hegemony.

Anti-thieves, there are also levels, visionary and visionless, Du Fuwei is a smart person, I can't stand in Hebei, Shandong has no danger to defend, I can only run Jianghuai, and as a result, people made a fortune in Jianghuai.

What about some anti-thieves, guarding their own one-third of an acre of land, living a chic life that they haven't had before, and they are reluctant to leave at all.

"What does the chief manager mean, wait until Xiao Mo is gone, and then let's do it?" Fei Qingnu said.

Laihu'er sighed: "It's not what I want, but it's helpless, let's send people away happily, alas, my Great Sui Dynasty, how did it become such a situation?" ”
