The celestial phenomena change people's hearts

Return to Bingzhou again.

For most of the month, Xun Tao and Zang Hong had never slept peacefully, and they were busy all day long.

As prefects appointed by the imperial court and who had just been able to take charge of various government affairs in the county, they had obviously not realized that the situation in Taiyuan County and Shangdang County would suddenly become so complicated.

Not only these two counties, but now the entire Bingzhou is in chaos, and the battle reports that have been passed from Shangjun, Yanmen County and other places to them are piled up like hills in the court of the county magistrate's mansion.

Often, the previous problem has not been solved yet, and there is a quick report immediately, and a new crisis has already occurred.

What Xun Tao and Zang Hong really felt that they lacked a strong enough army to face the current situation!

Nowadays, the county soldiers under the two have not participated in decent battles for many years, and lack of training and lack of training, resulting in weak combat power. In addition, the previous clearance of the gentry also involved many people in the army. Recently, the two have just hurriedly integrated their organization and have not formed combat power at all...

Not to mention sending such military strength to quell the rebellion, even self-protection of the garrison will be a problem.

"Hey, this time it's really a mistake!"

Xun Tao looked at the piles of emergency reports but was powerless, so he could only sigh silently.

Now the rebels' arrogance is getting more and more arrogant. Maybe new forces will join them when they wake up tomorrow morning. After all, the ignorant people at the bottom are very blindly obedient. As long as someone with a heart is a little fanning the flames, something big will easily happen...

Now some people in Bingzhou are spared no effort to promote the incompetence of the court, saying that today, when the son is stubborn and self-righteous, the officials from all over the country form cliques for personal gain, eliminate dissidents, harm the same tribe, and arouse grudges from heaven. Therefore, the "Justice of Justice" comes out to uphold justice.

Judging from the collected arguments, it is the remnants of the aristocratic clans who were previously suppressed.

Xun Tao and Zang Hong both expected this, and even Liu Hong and Xun Shuang were prepared for it. They even deliberately transferred back to the Northern Army, intending to condone these remnants of forces and let them fully expose them and then catch them all in one go...

But all their expectations were only at the level of public opinion. They did not expect that these remnants would launch a large-scale rebellion so rapidly, and they also united with the Hu people who had been silent for many years!

Because of the "obedience" of the Southern Xiongnu and Qiang people for many years, the court had long forgotten that Bingzhou actually had a different life.

Therefore, in order to make up for the previous mistakes, Xun Tao wrote a memorial overnight to report to the court:

I said: Since I was appointed as the guardian of Taiyuan, I have been vigilant and dared not slack off. However, the war suddenly broke out in the border town last month, which had spread throughout Bingzhou. I investigated several times in my jurisdiction. This was not an external enemy, but an internal thief. The bandits rode their horses and raised their swords, repeatedly chopped good people, burned houses and houses, whistled in the dust, and left in the dust, as fast as lightning, the battle was like wind, and the border soldiers fought to the death but could not keep the enemy, and they were almost dead inside the walls. I couldn't bear to see the trouble of the people, and the heavenly kindness was in trouble, so I fought day and night, captured the enemy soldiers alive for interrogation, and they were all against the party. Some say that the remnants of the Wang family have not been exhausted, and now they have made a comeback, so I must not ignore it. As time goes by, the war is continuous, and the border town is in a hurry, and the external enemies are surrounded by. If the Xianbei takes advantage of the danger and plunder the border people again, the people will be in danger! I hope that your majesty's heavenly soldiers will arrive quickly and the emperor's power is coming, and I will be urgently ordered to flee when the wind is heard, and the people will be hung upside down, and it will also be a martial arts...

After writing this memorial, he wrote a sealed report, and then called his closest personal guard to ask him to ride a fast horse and send him to the capital in a hurry.

Then, he ordered his deputy to travel day and night to Zang Hong and other counties to coordinate and discuss the disposal of the remaining people of the Bingzhou gentry and tribes in prison.

After these days of trial, the crimes of these people have been basically verified, and under the supervision of the Censorate, all those who were not involved have been released.

Xun Tao thought it was time to deal with these people. If other situations arise, wouldn’t your Majesty’s plan be wasted?

Among this group of prisoners, not only the Wang family, but also too many children of the gentry in various counties. According to the Han laws, most of them will be sentenced to death or exile. If they are really dealt with in this way, the foundation of the Bingzhou gentry for a hundred years will be destroyed, and it is expected that they will not recover from this.

After dealing with these, Xun Tao sighed again:

"I hope everything is not too late..."

———

Zang Hong's life in Shangdang was even more sad. Due to the "sexy operation" of the former county magistrate Zhao Hong, the original county soldiers of Shangdang can be said to be "scrapped". After the Northern Army was quelled the rebellion, it was taken away by Zhang Zhengxi, leaving no one to fill the holes of the county soldiers...

If Taiyuan County can only protect itself, then Shangdang County will be in turmoil and overturn at any time!

Zang Hong had no choice but to send people to recruit new troops everywhere in the county. Fortunately, Shangdang County has been searching for money and food for the aristocratic families.

However, soldiers did not spend money to recruit some civilians to fight immediately. Even if there were still some soldiers in the treasury, these were all new recruits!

If there is really a war, these new troops will probably become transport brigades that will give their heads...

Although Xihe County and Taiyuan County are in front of it, Shangdang is far away from the rebellious Hu people and the gentry, will these people give him plenty of time to train these new recruits into an army...?

Zang Hong was completely unsure of this.

But as a county magistrate, he could only go to the county barracks every day to supervise the training of new recruits. Even if he was to pull seedlings to encourage growth and sharpen his guns in the face of battle, he would still give it a try...

Seeing that the ignorant recruits were often scolded or even beaten by the instructor for making mistakes, Zang Hong could only shake his head helplessly...

But in such a difficult situation, God came to him naughtyly and made it worse. Zang Hong stood stiffly on the city wall and watched three solar eclipses, and said sighingly:

"Well, just take it as a way to do your best and leave it to fate..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the vast northern desert, it is now the late winter, and the most difficult time of the year for herders.

The previously clear weather has long disappeared. The heavy snow in recent days has not passed many places, and even half of the houses have been flooded. When the herdsmen walk in the snow, they have to pierce half of their legs into the deep snow.

This kind of cold weather is common to Xianbei people, and this is the case every winter in their lives.

It's just that this year is a bit different from the past.

News of the rebellion in the Han area in the south had already spread, and some people were ready to move. After all, they had great benefits when they went south a few months ago.

Facts have proved that the Han people are still objects that can be robbed, as long as the demons like General Ouyang no longer appear...

However, under such weather conditions, even if the Xianbei army can move forward with difficulty and arrive in Bingzhou, it will do nothing due to serious loss of combat power, and even if it is not done well, it will fall into crisis.

Such judgments were the mainstream opinion among the Xianbei people, but this obviously did not conform to Wang Shu's idea. He sent several batches of envoys in succession to find various reasons, hoping to convince Tan Shihuai to send troops, but unfortunately, no matter how clever these envoys were, they could not convince Tan Shihuai.

How could they know that Tan Shihuai had reached a consensus with Wei Guang, that is, at this time, they should continue to lie dormant and integrate the internal situation, waiting for the time to be ripe to take over the Nanyuan of the Yellow River in one fell swoop.

Therefore, even if there is no heavy snow to prevent it, Tan Shihuai will not send troops at this time.

However, he was still quite interested in the recent news about the Han Dynasty.

After Wei Guang's explanation, Tan Shihuai has a general understanding of the ruling structure within the Han Dynasty and the party disputes in the court.

He and Wei Guang both saw that the actions of the Anhui Party did go beyond the scope of previous court struggles, and they were naturally very concerned about their subsequent development.

"Zi Xing, now the Southern Xiongnu and Qiang people are deeply involved in the Bingzhou Rebellion. If we use our name to lie, we might have gained something?"

Tan Shihuai sent Wang's lobbyist away again. When he saw Wei Guang walking into the tent, he gathered the charcoal in the brazier and said calmly.

"What, the lord can't hold it anymore?"

Wei Guang asked with a smile, knowing why Tan Shihuai was considering changing his strategy.

It seems that the power of this celestial phenomenon is still great. Even a person like his lord with a firm will be shaken by it!

"Hey, I know that the troops are not enough at this time. It's just that my Xianbei and the Han Dynasty have a huge gap in strength, but I don't want to let go of some opportunities..."

"The lord's worries are clear, and this strategy can be thought about carefully is also feasible, but it's too early... Although the phenomenon changes today, the people involved in the Bingzhou chaos have not yet been fully revealed. At least, wait for Guang to give some rewards to make decisions..."
