Chapter 233: Dispatch of Troops

Regret is regret, but Yuan Bai can't back down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoAt this juncture, Yuan Bai himself knows very well that retreating is tantamount to self-destruction, and there is no other way out than to carry out the rebellion to the end.

Since there is no way to retreat, there is no need to retreat. With a heart, Yuan Bai set up the seven-way army to resist the military horses of the princes of the six routes, and the remaining soldiers were responsible for the task of patrolling. It can be said that Yuan Bai's approach is crazy, he wants to take advantage of the fact that there are more people under his command than all the princes, and at the same time take advantage of the geographical advantage, to make a desperate bet. Winning this battle, his good life as an emperor can continue, if he loses, then there is nothing to say, just draw his sword and kill himself.

Yuan Bai sent seven troops to make the following arrangements: the first route was led by the general Zhang Xun to lead 50,000 troops to resist Ugong Zhaolie; the second route was led by the general Qiao Mao, who led the army of 50,000 to resist Yan Liang and Wen Chou; the third route was led by the general Chen Ji to lead an army of 50,000 to resist Sun Ce and Gan Jing and Lu Su under the command of Yuan Qi; the fourth route was handed over to the deputy general Lei Bo, who led an army of 20,000 troops to be stationed in Xu and At the junction of Yang, prepare to defend Mount Tai sent by Tao Qian; the fifth route is led by the deputy general Chen Lan, who leads an army of 20,000 to the west to resist Huang Zu; the sixth route is led by Han Qu, a general of 10,000 troops, is ready to meet the other armies; and the last route is led by Yang Feng, a general of 10,000 troops, to supervise the transportation of grain and grass on the six routes.

Han Qu and Yang Feng were originally the Baibo Red Turban Army, but Yugong Zhaolie defeated Yanzhou and Yuzhou and broke up the Baibo Red Turban Army, and the two of them took refuge in Yuan Bai when they were desperate. If it weren't for his number one general, Ji Ling, in the original battle of Shaxian. was beheaded by Yuan Qi, Yuan Bai would not send the two of them out, after all, there is a difference between a general and a cronie. But now, Ji Ling's bones have decayed, and Yuan Bai has no choice but to activate these two generals. As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Bai began to hate Yuan Qi again.

At the same time as sending the Seven Route Army, Yuan Bai gathered an army of 50,000 and stationed it in Shouchun. Always ready to find the flaws of the princes of all walks of life, wait for the opportunity to attack, and give a fatal blow to the princes along the way. From the perspective of the distribution of troops, Yuan Bai has made great progress in recent years compared with when he was in the capital earlier. When he arranged the troops, he obviously arranged them according to the principle of avoiding the important and making light of the light. Ugong Terulie, Yuan Ding, Sun Ce, and Yuan Qi joined forces with three people. It's impossible to fight in a hurry. Therefore, Yuan Bai arranged a number of men and horses equivalent to these three roads, mainly for defense, and the other roads were very targeted to arrange heavy troops, facing Taishan's 6,000 men and horses and Huang Zu's 10,000 horses, Yuan Bai arranged 20,000 troops accordingly, his meaning is obvious. It's time to fight a late-stage war, resist the strongest enemies in the early stage, and quickly defeat the weaker enemies in the other directions, and then gather men. Relying on the prerequisites of geographical advantages and convenient transportation of grain and grass, he fought a protracted war with Unomiya Terulie and others.

After Yuan Bai finished arranging the manpower, all the generals under his command took orders and left. Only the main bookkeeper Yan Xiang was speechless for a long time, glanced at Yuan Bai deeply, and then even owed the gift of resignation, and directly turned around and walked out of Yuan Bai's palace. In Yan Xiang's view, the current Yuan Bai is like a sick tiger struggling to the death, his claws and teeth are no longer sharp, but he wants to go against the sky, to put it bluntly, it is just a battle of trapped beasts. Yan Xiang had already expected that within half a year, Yuan Bai would come to an end.

Out of the palace, Yan Xiang sighed all the way to his home, preparing to send his wife and children out of Yangzhou to avoid this inevitable catastrophe. As for himself, he has long put life and death out of the equation. Yan Xiang is not a pedantic person, but he also deeply understands the truth that loyal ministers do not care about the two masters, he is ready to stay and accompany Yuan Bai to die, and before he dies, he told Yuan Bai that he was really stupid when he was called emperor

At the same time, Unomiya Teruleu led an army of 50,000 and was rapidly marching towards Shouchun. Along the way, Ugong Terulie saw that the wheat in the field was ripe, but no farmers came to harvest it, and he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, Umiya Terulie asked Guo Jia beside him: "Fengxiao, the wheat is ripe, why is no one harvesting?"

Guo Jia replied: "Lord, Jia has already inquired, it was the people nearby who heard that the lord led his troops to crusade against Yuan Bai, and they all hid in the deep mountains and old forests for fear of harming themselves, so no one came to harvest grain." ā€

When Ugong Zhaolie heard this, he was moved: "In the past, the champion Hou Yuanqi once said, prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer. Today, it seems, is so. If the world's disputes are unresolved, it will be difficult for the common people to live a good life. Orders were given and notices were put up everywhere to comfort the people and make them come back to harvest the grain. Then, Ugong Terulie turned his head to Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and other generals and said: "You all restrain your subordinates, and you will not commit any offense against the common people, and those who violate it will be beheaded immediately!"

Immediately, Guo Jia grabbed a pen and knife and wrote a notice in the name of Unomiya Terulie, asking the sergeant to copy a hundred copies and take them to the counties along the way to post them. Announcement cloud: Han Sikong Yu Gong Gong, in accordance with the edict of the Son of Heaven, sent troops to rebel, and eliminated harm from the people, so he had to raise troops as a last resort. Now that the wheat field is ripe, the generals and colonels must not deliberately trample on the wheat field, and those who violate the wheat field will be immediately beheaded! The people do not need to be alarmed, but can quickly return to their homes and prepare tools to harvest grain.

As soon as Unomiya Terulie's notice was announced, it caused heated discussions among the people. Some of the brave farmers took the courage to go into the fields with their tools and tentatively began to harvest the wheat. The Ugong army who passed by didn't come to disturb them, and even some easy-going generals took the initiative to talk to them. The news was like wings, and it quickly reached the ears of more people. As a result, the farmers who had taken refuge in the mountains and forests also ran down the mountain, returned home, picked up tools, and rushed to the fields to harvest grain. A few days later, Unomiya Terulie led his army through a wheat field, commanding his subordinates to open the wheat stalks and move forward cautiously. Suddenly, a wild pheasant ran out of the field and crashed into Unomiya Teruyu's horse. The horse on which Unomiya Terulie sat down was immediately frightened, and the horse carried Unomiya Terulie into the field, trampling a large field of wheat.

Ugong Terulie sighed, turned his head and asked Guo Jia: "Trampling on the wheat field, but it is a capital crime?" Guo Jia hurriedly replied: "Sikong is noble, how can you discuss the crime?" Ugong Terulie shook his head and said: "Those who trample on the wheat field will be immediately killed." This is a military order made by XX himself, is XX going back on his word?" As he spoke, Unomiya Terulie drew his sword and was about to slash at his neck. In the Unomiya army, from Xiahou to the bottom, all knelt on the ground, begging Ugong to think twice. Guo Jia even comforted: "My lord, the righteousness of the ancients' Spring and Autumn Period, the law is not respected. The lord is the official of the court, and he is not a minister under the edict of the Son of Heaven, how can he be martyred at this time?" Raised his sword and cut off a strand of his hair, then jumped off the horse, carefully opened the wheat field, and led his war horse back to the official road. Then he handed the broken hair in his hand to Xiahoudun and said, "Although "Spring and Autumn" is righteous. A certain person has an edict from the Son of Heaven in his body, but he must not ask for guilt. Therefore, the head of the hair cut. You take a certain severed hair to order the three armies. If there is anyone who tramples on the wheat field, he will not be forgiven!" "Xiahoudun took the broken hair of Ugong Terulie and sent a message to the three armies.

In this era, people attach great importance to their limbs and hair, believing that their bodies and hair are left to them by their parents, and once they are lost, they are disrespectful to their parents. A person who breaks the law, once his hair is cut off, is despised by all and is regarded as an unfaithful and unfilial person. This kind of psychological torture is far more uncomfortable than physical torture. As the official of the dynasty, Unomiya Terulie led by example, and did not hesitate to cut his hair as the head, which made Umiya Terulie's reputation go to a higher level.
