Chapter 29 Tiger Vision (3)
If the process of the King of Donghai shogunate has been consistent, the county lord of Jingling will have to go to Luoyang, so he is afraid that he will not prepare for ten months in advance... But at this point, even those who are so graceful know that the military situation is as critical as fire, and the situation in the Central Plains is even more dangerous. With the county lord mercilessly scolding, the preparations of the accompanying personnel were completed in just half a day. In the evening of the same day, the county lord set off.
Juancheng where the King of Donghai is stationed is a city in Yanzhou. Yanzhou is one of the nine states in the world held by Yugong. It has continued to this day. Although its jurisdiction has gradually increased, its status as the core area of the Central Plains has not changed. Yanzhou is dominated by the Hebei, Ji, and Huai, Si, and blocks Taidai in the north and Langya in the east. From a geographical point of view, it happens to be in the middle of Hebei, near the capital, and the coastal areas of Xu. At the same time, it is also known as the land and the land of the people, and the land is fertile, which is the basis for great achievements. Pan Tao, a think tank in the King of Donghai's shogunate, persuaded King of Donghai to choose another prefecture and county to settle Gou Xi, and also claimed that Yanzhou was going to clash, and Wei Wu used it to assist the Han Dynasty. Gou Xi had great ambitions and was not a pure minister. If he ordered it to be dealt with for a long time, it would be a big problem. Sure enough, he immediately moved the King of Donghai.
Since Gou Xi moved to Qingzhou, King Donghai sent a number of important civil and military officials to manage the counties of Yanzhou. Because he was attracted by Juancheng, not far west of Linqiu, the capital of Yanzhou, and it was convenient to collect food, fodder and wealth; he also leaned against the surging river, and there was a Daye Ze from the east to the south, surrounded by thunder siege, and the terrain was complex, and it was suitable for both military offensives, so he paid special attention. Who would have thought that Xuchang was soon destroyed, and the King Donghai shogunate had tens of thousands of people and horses, and the group of romantic and famous scholars ran to flee here. This foresight was simply ridiculous.
What is even more ridiculous is that the Puyang Kingdom, which is the foundation of the kingdom of the kingdom of Yanzhou, now only the Puyang Kingdom where Juancheng is located is based on the deterrence of the Hebei Jizhou Army, and is still retained in the hands of the King of Donghai. From the northeast of Puyang Kingdom to the southwest, Jibei Kingdom, Dongping Kingdom, Rencheng Kingdom, Gaoping Kingdom, Jiyin County, and Chenliu County, all six counties and states were ravaged by the bandits of Shile King Mi and fell into a completely out of control. Further south, even the Liang Kingdom, where the capital of Yuzhou Prefecture, was completely in the hands of the bandits. After Shile captured Xuchang, the bandits' siege light cavalry could enter Sizhou in just one hour. Then follow the Ying River north through Yangdi and Yangcheng, and travel dozens of miles, then arrive at the key pass that guards the Great Jin imperial capital, and the same reputation as Hulao and Hangu!
The King of Donghai was in charge of the Central Plains with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. After a fierce battle, he ended up in such a situation. He was really defeated to the extreme; on the contrary, the military deployment of the Huns and Han dynasties to attack Luoyang was successfully reached to the extreme. If these two armies were compared to the double blades of iron clamps, the front of the Central Plains bandits under Wang Mi had already reached the throat of the Great Jin Dynasty, which was only a slight difference from the blood-splashing death.
On the evening of May 6, the second year of Yongjia, the Lord of Jingling County went to Luoyang under such a situation. Since the traffic route could be cut off by bandits at any time, it was dangerous along the way. She and her trusted entourage leader Wang De and dozens of cavalry rushed westward along the narrow area on the south bank of the Great River, intending to pass Puyang first, then turn southwest, and try to reach Xingyang County, Sizhou through soybean. If the road is blocked, retreat to the north and go around Ji County from Yanjin Crossing River.
Such an arrangement is the most appropriate. But shortly after they set out on the road, they found that the countless riots along the way were the biggest obstacle.
When the King of Donghai left the Central Plains, his troops were known as 500,000. Now he was stationed in Juancheng, and his troops had shrunk to a height of one tenth of the time. The difference was annihilated in previous battles with Shi Le. Of course, even if it was 30,000 pigs, Shi Le could not catch them for three days and three nights, let alone people? Therefore, a considerable number of the hundreds of thousands of annihilated troops fled and became defeated soldiers who had lost their establishment. The defeated soldiers fled to the wild, and the heads of the court generals were different, and the government was gone. From then on, there was no restraint or support. So when there was a need for food, clothing, housing and use, the defeated soldiers immediately turned into chaos. Wherever the soldiers went, the damage caused was not inferior to the bandits.
From Juancheng to Puyang, the people's mouths are dense and the place is rich. The county lord once came here, and I remember that at that time, I saw large-scale villages and towns lined up one after another, and the merchants and travels were endless. It was too much better than the Donghai county and county that the county lord was familiar with. However, this prosperous scene has disappeared now. The county lord has walked all the way around, and there are tragic scenes of looting people everywhere, with groups of ragtag soldiers everywhere. Many people have wrapped their satin directly on their bodies, occasionally glanced at the cavalry team of the county lord and others, but there was no sense of fear at all, wandering aimlessly like a hyena. Sometimes, as soon as they came out of one house, they broke into another house. Wherever they passed, the sound of rumbling boxes and cabinets rang out, and there were also various calls and wailing sounds one after another.
After all, the county lord is made of golden branches and jade leaves. Have you ever seen such a scene? His face changed on the spot.
"Mr., the chaos soldiers have always been like this. It will be fine when the shogunate princes set out to gather them together. We don't have to pay attention, so we should hurry up as soon as possible." Wang De quickly advised. He was from a corps and was also a clear-minded person. He knew that these lawless chaos soldiers were only at the right edge of the bandits. Once he became stubborn, no matter what kind of high-ranking officials you were, they would come up with a knife. They turned a blind eye to their own side, which was already lucky.
When Wang Dezheng persuaded, a group of soldiers passed by the county lord's horse. The group of soldiers were all drunk and dressed in disheveled, carrying packages of varying sizes in their arms. Occasionally, a few strings of copper coins fell from the package, but no one picked them up, obviously they were already satisfied. Behind the chaotic group, there was a fat soldier carrying a half-naked woman who was crying on his shoulders, humming an unknown little song, and crossing the official road with a lewd smile on his face.
How could the county lord bear this situation? It would be fine if Wang De didn't persuade him. This persuasion immediately aroused the anger of the county lord. She shouted and raised her whip, and immediately two entourages rushed to whip around, beating the group of soldiers so hard that they screamed. The entourers knew the county lord's intentions. When they beat the fat man, they deliberately did not use a horse whip, but used a scabbard. After a few thuds, the fat pawn lay down to the ground, exhaling more air and less air.
After all, there were many people in the riots. At first, they were shocked and stepped back in a mess. Then a bad guy with the appearance of a leader came out of the team and cursed at the county lord and others: "Where did you group of splashers come from? How dare you hurt me?"
Wang De rode his horse forward and covered the county lord a little: "We are from the official army. You should be taught some lessons when you act in front of us! Get out of here! Avoid checking your beheading crime when the court sends people to purgate you!"
Wang De's words were both very intimidating and left room for the other party. He spoke very beautifully, which caused the leader of the rioters to stumble. A sudden rioter next to him hugged the fat pawn and cried: "Yang Feixiang is dead... Feixiang is beaten to death by these people!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a few swords flew out of the crowd and broke through the wind and took Wang De. Fortunately, Wang De was very skilled, swung his sword and slapped the sword left and right, blocking the several big swords that were thrown away. One of them was particularly powerful and he changed direction and smashed it on the helmet of another entourage, causing him to break his head and blood.
The county lord's entourage had long been tense, and the straitors were already manic and uneasy. When they saw blood, the whole audience was in chaos. Two groups of people rushed to each other, slashed and killed each other, and fell down instantly. The county lord was furious and drew out his sword to prepare to move forward. Wang De resisted his death and sent half of the other entourages. The entourage guards were selected from the King of Donghai shogunate. Both martial arts and equipment were much stronger than those entourage soldiers, but after all, the number of people was obviously disadvantageous. Finally, the entourage soldiers were driven away, and three entourage soldiers died and seven or eight were injured.
The county lord had time to go to see the half-naked woman who was looted. He never thought that the woman was embarrassed and angry and had already hit a tree and died.
"County Lord... we can't control these people... Let's hurry up and hurry up, the main thing is important!" Wang De was chopped off his shoulder, and the old man's flesh was cut off. The three dead warriors were all confidants who had followed him for many years, and they were in a bad mood. For a moment, they even forgot the name of Pei Langjun and called out the word "County Lord".
