Chapter 151: Rebellion
On Wuguan Road, groups of refugees entered Nanyang.
The refugees had sad faces, confused eyes, and sad faces.
If you look closely at their clothes, even if they have gone through a long journey and have many stains, you can vaguely see the exquisite materials and fine workmanship.
It is surprising that these so-called refugees, who may have been a powerful party, have fallen to this point.
Just as it is not easy for the homeless people to live until now, there is no simple way to be able to hold on to this until this is broken.
How many years has Guanzhong been affected? How many years has the war been?
People who don't have some skills can't live now.
Haoqiang, who has not many people under his hands, can't live now.
The dock castle handsome, heroic, and scholar who can't fight in the trilogy can't survive now.
The situation faced by Guanzhong Haoqiang is much more complicated than that of Henan and Hebei.
Qianghu is everywhere, often fire, looting, you attack me, I kill you, no one stops. Over the past ten years, a large number of fierce and cruel heroes who dare to fight and dare to fight have been trained.
But Guanzhong is also very bitter.
When disasters are affected in other places, Guanzhong will be affected.
When the wind and rain are good in other places, Guanzhong may not be immune to disasters.
Yongjia three years ago, Sergeant Guan's heroes were already very difficult to support, three years of drought, four years of locust plague, gave many Guanzhong heroes a heavy blow, the balance that was originally struggling to maintain was broken, no matter how hard you worked, there was no way.
Looking around, the forts are closed to themselves, and they dare to fight with you for a little food, and everyone knows each other's roots, don't I know what kind of family background you have?
As a result, another wave of homeless soldiers divided into two routes, all the way to Henan through Hongnong, and all the way to Nanyang through Wuguan, begging for food.
Wherever the displaced people passed, the smaller fortress walls were directly breached, and men, women, and children were either coerced by them, or disappeared without a trace.
On the Wuguan Road for hundreds of miles, hunger is everywhere, and the smoke village is dilapidated, like a ghost.
"Don't come, the dog officer ordered me to wait back." The displaced people who entered Shunyang County from Wuguan couldn't walk anymore, and as soon as they sat down to rest, they heard shouts in front of them.
The homeless people suddenly became commotionous, and even faintly cried.
Finally escaped from Guanzhong and was about to be sent back? Isn't this forcing everyone to die?
"If you don't go back, you will die in Nanyang!" Someone looked at the only half of the Hu cake left in his hand, remembered the unbearable things along the way, and his mentality collapsed directly, and he cried loudly: "Guanzhong suffers disasters every year, how can I go back?" ”
"That's right! Not going back! Whoever wants to force us to go back, fight with them! Someone drew his blade and said angrily.
"I don't know where tomorrow's food is, so it's better to fight now."
"When did the government take pity on us? Whether you want to or not, he will force you back to die. ”
"Stop talking nonsense, fight!"
"Go and rob the dock fort......"
The displaced people were quickly stirred up, and the crowd was agitated and angry.
Perhaps, the imperial court was really wrong in this matter.
This year's homeless people are no longer the same as the previous ones. Because there were too many scholars and Haoqiang—some of them were even Haoqiang wandering collectively with their tribes to beg for food—their organization and incitement were different from before, and their ability to make chaos was greatly improved.
Moreover, the displaced people in Guanzhong have been war-torn for a long time, dare to fight, and have strong combat effectiveness, and once they are instigated, their destructive power is unimaginable.

News of the Wuguan Dao rebellion soon spread to Chengyu County, Shunyang County (present-day Laohekou, Hubei).
Tai Shou Yangman knew it was bad when he heard it.
A few days ago, he had received an order from Wang Cheng, the governor of Wancheng, and Du Rui, the governor of Wancheng, to send 3,000 troops to escort the displaced people back to their hometowns.
Shunyang County and the country coexist.
Sima Chang, the king of Shunyang, was in Luoyang, and there were not many soldiers in the local area - even if they were, they had no combat effectiveness, and Yang Man had no expectations for them.
Yang Man is not only a Taishou, but also in fact has the history of the kingdom, and knows very well the inside story of Shunyang County or Shunyang Kingdom: the only 1,000 county soldiers he has slowly accumulated in the past two years.
The order of the governor of Wancheng was to "gather 3,000 troops", and in desperation, he borrowed 2,000 soldiers from the local scholars and Haoqiang, which had just been assembled and was waiting to set off.
After receiving the news of the rebellion of the displaced people, he immediately ordered to stop the march and stick to the county seat.
"Why is my brother so timid?" The younger brother Yang Dan was in charge of the county soldiers, and when he heard this, he sneered and said: "The uncles in the clan all laugh at me for not learning the classics, but I only love martial arts and have learned the art of bowing horses." At present, the displaced people are in turmoil, and they are fighting. Brother, let me go, and I will kill all those thieves and build a Jingguan. ”
Yang Man took a deep breath, suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and said, "No." He led his troops to patrol the city, and he was not allowed to go into battle without authorization. ”
"Brother!" Yang Dan said dissatisfied.
"Hugh will say more." Yang Man reprimanded: "If you are not satisfied, this will send you back to the old mansion." ”
Yang Dan was stunned for a while, probably a little afraid of being sent back, and after muttering a few words vaguely, he went out.
The sergeants outside the yamen were running around, making a lot of noise, and a tense atmosphere was everywhere.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way." He kicked over one of the soldiers and walked angrily towards the barracks.
The sergeants looked at him in fear.
The Yang Dan army was very harsh. No, it can no longer be called harsh, but harsh.
If you violate military discipline a little, you will be hung up and beaten half to death.
If it is more serious, it will be beheaded directly.
The matter of whether to kill or not to kill is in his hands, and there is basically no discussion about killing.
Shunyang has had several turmoil before, and each time it was Yang Dan who led the troops to seek peace.
When the county soldiers were first formed, their combat effectiveness was extremely poor, and Yang Dan relied on the Yang clan Qu Zhuangke brought to suppress the whole army.
This person was not ashamed to say that Chen Hou Shaoxun implemented the strict "team beheading" system in the army, and the soldiers of Shunyang County should also follow suit - the so-called team beheading, that is, after a team of soldiers loses the team leader, the whole team is beheaded, and there is no reason.
The soldiers were indignant, but they did not dare to resist this ruthless man.
When the rebellion was suppressed last year, the leader of the team was killed by an arrow from the homeless people, and Yang Danzhen ordered the remaining 30 soldiers of the team to be tied up, beheaded outside the camp, and hung their heads in public.
In May this year, there was a locust plague, and some residents in the county were in rebellion, and Yang Dan led the army to quell the rebellion and broke it. Because one of the team leaders died in battle, the soldiers of the team ran away directly, fell into the grass, and did not dare to return to the camp.
This time, there was another rebellion among the displaced people, and the sergeants were panicked, wondering if they would be sent out to quell the rebellion.
If you really want to go into battle - alas, if you fight to die yourself, you can't let the team leader die. If you die by yourself, if the whole team dies, none of the relatives and township party of the same team will survive, so it is better to fight bravely, and you can still receive a pension if you die in battle, and the relatives and township party can also help take care of your family.
It's just that this sheep is damned!
Sunset.
A large number of residents poured in from outside the city of Shunyang, trying to hide inside the city to avoid the chaos.
Jingzhou, which has been quiet for a few years, is about to start a big chaos.
******
In a dock fort outside the city of Yiyang County, there are many friends and friends.
Wubao Marshal Wang Ru took out the wine and meat at the bottom of the box, and entertained the generals who came to urge them to leave the country and go on the road.
Most of the generals came from Wancheng, and they were the subordinates of Du Rui, the governor of the northern part of the city, with a total of more than ten people, with 3,000 soldiers, stationed not far away.
After three rounds of drinking, Wang Ru excused himself to go to the toilet and left the table and went outside.
He cautiously looked left and right, then quickened his pace, dodging a drunken drinker, and then greeted the other man as usual, and went into the latrine.
After closing the wooden door, he climbed on top of the latrine with both hands, climbed up directly, and then climbed over a wall and into the backyard.
"Brother."
"Captain."
"Castle Master."
Everyone gathered around, looking nervous and their hands trembling slightly.
Wang Ru glanced at them.
Calling him "brother" is naturally a relative.
The one who shouted "Captain" was his subordinate when he was a junior officer in Jingzhao County.
The one who shouted "castle master" was the Guanzhong homeless fort household.
"What? In the past, everyone was not afraid of heaven and earth, but now they are going to rebel, so afraid? Wang Ru chuckled, took a good bow, tried it casually, and said: "It's too late to say anything now, the arrow is ready to fly, and I have to send it." I'm going to kill a dozen stupid pigs tonight, are you going to do it? ”
"It's done!" Someone was provoked by him, and the blue tendons on his forehead were exposed, and he said: "This bullshit court is not a person, what do you want him to do?" ”
"We wanted to be good citizens, but we were forced to be thieves, alas." Someone shook his head and sighed.
"What thieves? Rebels, we are rebels! ”
"Yes, it's the Rebels. I killed this group of dog thieves tonight, attacked the county seat tomorrow, and then contacted each family to do things together. ”
"Lift things, lift things! Can't wait. ”
Wang Ru stretched out his hand.
The crowd stopped their voices and looked at him with blank eyes.
"The military spirit can be used." Wang Ru looked up to the sky and laughed, not caring if he would be heard.
After laughing, he shouted: "Take Erlang and kill them all." ”
A group of people quickly left the backyard, and people kept gathering on the way, and by the time they reached the front hall, there were already hundreds of people, standing in the courtyard to the brim.
"Whoosh!" Wang Ru drew his bow and arrows, and shot a stunned general to the ground.
"Whoa!" The rest of the generals got up one after another, drew their knives, and caught their bows.
"Wang Ru, what do you mean?" Someone shouted, "Do you want to rebel?" ”
"In the past, the displaced people entered Nanyang, and General Qi shot it as a play, do you know that there is today?" Wang Ru laughed.
Laughing and smiling, as soon as his hand was loosened, an arrow flew out, hitting the door of "General Qi".
"Kill them!" Several of the Dock Castle Guards who sat in the room swung their swords and slashed.
The people of the fort rushed up and cut these soldiers into pulp.
"It's not over yet!" Looking at the messy main hall, Wang Ru sneered and said, "The officers and soldiers are unprepared, and the generals and colonels are dead, and they are attacking at night." Gather your men and go! ”
A moment later, the burghers, who had been waiting for a long time, were shouted out one by one.
More than 3,000 people lined up in the open space outside the dock fort, and then lit torches and slaughtered the unsuspecting officers and soldiers like a long dragon.
There is no suspense in the battle.
The Wancheng soldiers, who had lost most of their officers, were suddenly attacked in their sleep, and the camp burst into flames, and shouts of killing could be heard everywhere.
Three thousand men were crushed by a single blow, more than half were killed or wounded, and the rest were surrendered.
On the second day, Wang Ru did not stop, led the army to the outside of the city of Qixian County, and went down with a drum.
At the same time, messengers rushed everywhere, doing everything possible to contact the displaced people from Yongqin and other places, and beckoned them to join in the rebellion.
A few days later, the county town of Shinno was conquered.
Wang Ru's subordinates have grown to 10,000 people, and there is still a steady stream of displaced people from Guanzhong.
This fire can't be stopped, and it's going to burn Jingzhou to pieces.
