Chapter 54: The Clouds of War
Rongzhou is located in the southwest of Yanzhou, and the spirit of war and killing came first.
The first to receive the edict was Tang Huaiyuan, the assassin of Rongzhou, and then Wu Huizhi, the Marquis of Yunyao, who had just sent away the envoy, and the latter followed him to his mansion, and brought a hundred armor soldiers to block the door of the mansion, and then took two guards from the third and fourth grade realms directly into the backyard, grabbed his robe collar and pressed it on the table, and glared at him viciously.
"If you dare to send troops, Ben Hou will kill you now."
Tang Huaiyuan is also a big official, but in the face of this hot-tempered and rough Yun Yaohou, he doesn't dare to have a temper at all, after all, the other party really dares to kill him.
And I also know that Marquis Yun has a good relationship with the third son of the Su family, and the news of the Su family's rebellion came, and this Marquis Yun also set up a banquet at home, and even sent someone to invite him over to drink.
Where did Tang Huaiyuan dare to go, he had to find an excuse to refuse, but now he was forced by the collar, and he really couldn't hide, his face squeezed on the table, and he hurriedly spoke.
"Marquis Yun is angry, I am also familiar with Marquis Su, and I have a good relationship, where am I really willing to send troops to fight. If you don't send troops, I won't be able to deal with the court, and if Marquis Yun Yao doesn't kill me at that time, Your Majesty will cut off my head. ”
Wu Huizhi also calmed down, let go of him, walked to the side and shook the hem of his robe, sat down with a big golden knife, raised his hands and grabbed a few times in the air: "You don't know how to behave?" ”
"Anyone can do it, but others will see it." Tang Huaiyuan hurriedly asked the servant to bring tea over, "Marquis Yun doesn't know yet, not only I, Rongzhou, but also Huaizhou and Qizhou next to me have to send troops, if I cheat, they will see it, and they will also stab in front of the Son of Heaven." ”
"Three state soldiers and horses?"
Wu Huizhi was immediately stunned, there were 40,000 soldiers and horses in Rongzhou alone, and there were more than 20,000 troops that could be mobilized in addition to the defense boundary, and there were nearly 80,000 people in the other two states.
Although it is not comparable to the elite at the feet of the Son of Heaven of Yanjing, it is also a real number of 80,000, where can it be resisted by one county and four counties, unless the Su family is forced to serve.
He looked at Tang Huaiyuan, who had a bitter face, snorted and left. Tang Huaiyuan threw the tea that the other party had drunk directly out of the door, and also snorted coldly, but when he sat down, he couldn't help but sigh at the thought of doing something to his old friend.
Outside the government.
Wu Hui got into the carriage, and there was another person inside, who hurriedly approached and asked, it was Wu Huizhi's youngest son, Wu Zixun.
"Dad, how's it going?"
"That old boy doesn't agree, can he really force his father to kill him? Didn't that also follow the rebellion. ”
"But my father also said before that the emperor has long wanted to do something to us." Wu Zixun looked at his father's silent appearance, hesitated for a moment, and simply said what was in his heart.
"Dad, let's just do the opposite, anyway, the emperor will do it sooner or later, it's better to join forces with the Su family, isn't Dad still on good terms with the other two? Let's do it the other way around! ”
What answered Wu Zixun was his father who slapped him on the head.
"Anti? What do you take against? The imperial court has ordered yesterday that the army is gathering, and the grain is also being prepared, and it will inevitably go to Yunyao when the time comes. ”
Wu Huizhi is a rough man, it doesn't mean that he is a fool, if the Su family can withstand the two waves of rebellion in the imperial court, then he will not have much of a problem if he follows the incident.
Then contact the other two, and you can also make a fuss.
A hundred armor soldiers escorted the carriage through the long street, and in the same city, in a corner of the city, the Fang family had already exploded at this time, and the soldiers and horses of the rebellion were coming.
They have this in-law relationship with the Su family, and the rebellion of the other party can be counted into the three clans.
Concerned with the survival of the family, Fang Wenye walked back and forth in front of the Fang family members on crutches I don't know how many times, looking at him with a pair of eyes, waiting for the old man to come up with an idea.
"Dad, what are you hesitating about this, bring the dismissal document and hand it to the Su family, and then bring Xuejun back." As a big house, most of the Fang family will belong to them in the future, and if they are implicated in the rebellion, the whole family will have to go to the vegetable market to be headless ghosts.
In the hall, there was a buzzing noise.
Fang Wenye stopped, pondered for a moment, and looked at the third room: "Go to school, you have a letter in your hand, and a few people go to Ding'an City, and the letter says that Xue Junniang is thinking about her daughter and becoming ill, lying on the bed for many days, asking her to return quickly, and quietly taking the marriage letter to Su Houye, he must also understand the pain of my Fang family." ”
"Listen to my father." Fang Jinxue was also very uncomfortable, he was very satisfied with Su Chen's uncle, that day he saw him wearing armor and carrying a thief head majestically coming back from outside, not to mention his own daughter, even he was an old man who thought this man was good.
But now that it is involved in the Fang family, he is only the third child in the family, and he has no right to speak at all, so he can only listen to his father's arrangement.
When he came out of the clan meeting, he found a few well-behaved and obedient nephews in Sanfang, asked them to bring the written family letters, and gave them a few more words. The four men were all seventeen or eighteen-year-old young men, and they were also bold, and after receiving the errand, they quickly left Yunyao County and hurried to Ding'an City along the official road.
Along the way, the traders and pedestrians who came from the south in the past became scarce, and occasionally one or two of them hurriedly picked up the path and walked forward. Entering the boundary of Ding'an City, far away, iron hooves whistling on the field, and a cavalry team of more than 100 people patrolled by. 、
Outside the east gate, the quiet old trees swayed with spots, a large number of soldiers entered and exited, and the people gathered or dispersed, and the atmosphere of war enveloped the sky over the city.
Many people who dragged their families into the city from outside to join their relatives, and there were also wealthy people in their families, who drove a large number of carts, loaded with household belongings, and hurriedly left with their family servants and went elsewhere. Under the swaying shade of the trees, the rivers and lakes and green forests watched these people leave with swords, guns and halberds, with disdain on their faces.
Ding'an City Su family uprising, the news of the future of the soldiers and horses in Sanzhou has spread, surprisingly, the Hou Mansion did not force everyone to stay, those who want to leave are all released, those who are willing to stay, can hide in the city, the government demarcates land to live in a centralized manner, and after the soldiers, they can permanently settle in the city.
At this time, the importance of Su Congfang is reflected, he is weak, but he has a lot of prestige among the people, that day Bushi was assassinated by an assassin and almost died of injuries, as early as the spread among the people, when the news of the death of Su Yong, the son of the world, many people were saddened by it, and now the court soldiers are pressing, and most of the people who remain are poor, but they are also most grateful for kindness, and are willing to live and die with Ding'an City.
Ding'an City is now in full swing, preparing to fight against the imperial court soldiers, a large number of people spontaneously brave, to the mountains to help collect wood, as a wood to defend the city, enthusiastic people signed up to join the army, the next day with the team to the suburbs of the military camp drill.
The matter of training recruits fell on Dong Zhuo's shoulders, almost every day he lived in the barracks, and he also had to take care of the training of the Ding'an Army, every night when he had a little free, he wrote a book and sent it to Su Mansion, so that Su Chen could recruit some more generals to come over, even if there was a grudge back then, he also admitted it.
In the suburbs, many believers have already gathered around Zhang Jiao, and many more have come from all directions, and they will soon follow the great sages and good teachers to Ding'an City.
There were also a number of surrendered soldiers in the city, totaling more than 2,700 people, of which 2,200 were soldiers of the imperial city, who were unarmed with weapons and armor, and were imprisoned in the prisoner camp at the corner of the city wall.
The other 500 cavalry seemed to be easy to talk to, especially after seeing the majesty of the general wearing the beast-faced head-swallowing armor, most of them wanted to gallop with him on the battlefield.
Collecting the war horses after the previous battle, with the surrender of troops, Lu Bu already had more than 1,100 cavalry in his hands. Probably disgusted with the unevenness of these cavalry, they would be divided into several units to patrol around Ding'an City every day, so that they could adapt to long-distance attacks.
And in the Hou Mansion, after the Su family moved back, the relatives who had been driven away also came back one by one, and they were also among the three clans.
At the moment, there is a shortage of people in the city, and they are also helping to run around and do what they can.
In the entire Su Mansion, except for Xiao Wu, Su Congfang is the most idle, since moving back to Ding'an City, he rarely goes out, the affairs of the government in the past, now he doesn't need to ask, the Taishou Sun Shuwu who came up with one hand came over every day, just to ask him for peace, and then went to Nanxiang to find his youngest son Su Chen.
As long as you are not blind, you know who is in charge of Ding'an City.
However, at the moment, Su Chen rarely came forward, and he was all reported by Taishou, he was not hiding from leisure, but studying with Xun Yu in the study, and listening to the other party's lectures on military strategy, logistics, and people's livelihood.
No one is born with it, and Su Chen is no exception.
"If you want to conquer the Yan Kingdom by yourself, you are still insufficient, if you have three or five years, you don't need the help of others, but the Yan Imperial Court will never wait until that time......"
Xun Yu sat under the lamp, he was dressed in a green robe, holding a blank book in his hand, and a brush in the other hand, writing and explaining: "...... Borrow the hands of others, it is necessary to let everyone see the strength of the court, once the court can not attack for a long time, the arrogance is frustrated, it will inevitably grow the hearts of the princes of the states, then only a piece of paper, the heroes will definitely rise up and chase, at that time, the alliance outside, the policy of Tuntian inside, send the soldiers of the family, drive Yanzhou for a long time, destroy the good land and cut off the trade road, and the battle can be determined. ”
Make a note of it! Make a note of it!
Su Chen nodded again and again, and the tip of the pen brushed on the paper, this is different from the battle of arranging troops, and long-term strategy is what a person in charge needs to learn with an open mind.
"Is there anything else that sir, sir?"
After writing the above words, Su Chen's expression was serious, and he continued to ask: "At present, Ding'an City needs to dispatch people, I don't know if Mr. is willing to sit in charge?" ”
Xun Yu was silent, just concentrating on writing his own things.
"Mr. can come here, there must be a grudge in his heart, dare to ask Mr. Grievance, but the heart of Kuang Fu Han has not been extinguished?"
Hearing Su Chen's words, the tip of the pen written in Xun Yu's hand hovered, and suddenly smiled: "Han family...... I have nothing to eat. ”
He took a breath.
"I'm like a rootless bird."
"Then why don't you cast a big man?"
Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, and a slight look appeared in his eyes, but then he gloomy again, and waved his hand: "Recast the Han Room, but is it still the original Han?" It's just self-deception. ”
However, he immediately got up and closed the book, "For the time being, the officials in the city can still operate, and they don't need me, after this battle, I will plan with Changsheng again, and I should do my best." ”
It is not difficult for Su Chen to hear that the other party is observing him, whether he is worthy of assistance, and yes, such a great sage has his own style and bones, how can he bow his head casually.
"Then I won't disappoint my husband!"
Su Chen arched his hand, and it was almost time to listen to today's class, so he turned around and went out, as soon as he came out, he saw Lu Bu dressed in regular clothes, holding the hilt of his sword in his hand, staring at Cao Cao who was walking among the flower beds, Dian Wei stood aside with a double halberd in both hands, and Liu Xie, the emperor of Han Xian, waved his hands on both sides to reconcile.
"General Dian, what's going on here?"
When Dian Wei saw Su Chen come out, he inserted the double halberd back into his back and glared at Lu Bu opposite: "As soon as Lu Bu came back, he would ask about the matter of the year when he met King Wei. ”
"What's the matter? White Gate Tower? Su Chen was a little curious.
Dian Wei shook his head: "I was dead at that time, how do you know this." ”
At this time, Lu Bu over there glanced at Su Chen, snorted, let go of the hilt of the sword and turned to leave. Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand at Su Chen: "Don't be angry, tigers, beasts." ”
Su Chen laughed along, "King Wei scolds people without dirty words. ”
"Alas, just now Lu Bu questioned Gu, when he was on the White Gate Tower, he said that he was already lying under me, why did he kill him."
Su Chen naturally knows about that period of history, but from the mouth of the person concerned, it must be different.
"Back then, he said that he led the infantry alone, he commanded the cavalry, and the world was at his fingertips." Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, he was still smiling one moment, and his eyes were already showing murderous intent the next moment, "When he said this, didn't he imply that he and Lone were divided into two worlds?" Hehe, then you have to kill him. Those who have been taken prisoner but do not have the consciousness of being a captive, if they do not kill, they will rebel in the future. Your Majesty, what do you think? ”
Cao Cao looked at Emperor Han Xian on the side, and Liu Xie swallowed his saliva: "King Wei thinks so." ”
"Hmph, after all these years, I'm still so submissive, and I haven't grown at all."
Cao Cao turned his head and casually threw out three tokens, all of which were caught by Dian Wei with one hand, then spread them in the palm of his hand and handed them to Su Chen.
The back of the departing man walked with his hands in his hands, and walked to the ancestral hall, and there were also words.
"At a critical juncture, Lone is not hidden, they are all generals who follow Lone South to fight in the north, so let's use them."
Three tokens, one gold and two silver.
They are written 'Le', 'Zhang' and 'Guo'.
