Chapter 301 Juren
Chengshan Fort is located in the southwest of Beishan Fort.
It is also located on a small plain surrounded by mountains. The range of this small plain is very small, and large-scale soldiers cannot be arranged at all.
It is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
There were originally four or five thousand people in the castle. After the Mongolian Yuan people headed south, hundreds of households, general flags and other officials in the castle took their families, slaves, and some military households to flee south. Currently, there are about three thousand people left in the castle.
After all, it was too short for the Mongolian Yuan people to obtain Liaodong. On the other side of Beishan Fort, Wu Nian resisted wildly.
They had no time to send courageous officials to Chengshan Fort and take over everything.
Simply put, Chengshan Fort is currently in a stage of power vacuum. The Chu bureaucrats have withdrew, but the Mongols have not arrived yet.
This gives ambitious people an opportunity to take advantage of.
Just when Wu Nian was in full swing to fight against the Mongols in full swing, attracting the attention of Jin Huanshan, the general of the Mongols, and Zhang Bu, the general of the Han people.
Someone stole Chengshan Fort and gained the trust of the people in the fort.
One of them was named Lu Jubei, who was a juren and a native of Liaobei. When the Mongolian and Yuan people first went south, he fled south with his whole family and stopped at Chengshan Fort.
In Chu State, Juren was a reserve official and had great power in the local area. The Lu family was originally a scholarly family, a scholar of the fifth and sixth generations.
In Liaodong, it became a trend to raise family soldiers. While Lu Jubei took his family south, he also brought many domestic slaves and family soldiers, which were quite powerful.
The other person was named Ma Zheng, who was originally a young general from Liaodong who served as an official for generations. Before the Mongolian Yuan people went south, the official was appointed as the general flag.
Moreover, Ma Zheng is not a bad Liaodong general. He has real skills and is good at using the horse spear. When he fled, he brought his subordinates and his family with him, which is quite powerful.
After the two arrived at Chengshan Fort, they saw that Wu Nian and the Mongols fought against each other were in full swing, so they became a little more thoughtful.
One of them manages the people and the other manages the army. They recruit soldiers and horses, gather militias, and entrench in Chengshan Fort, becoming a local emperor.
On this morning, the sun was shining brightly, but it could not melt the snow all over the mountains.
Chengshan Fort.
This castle was originally a dilapidated, but after Ma Zheng's emergency repair, it is not as solid as a rock at present, but at least it is also a qualified military fortress, and the garrison is not a problem.
A flag with the word "Lu" hanging on the city gate tower declared the owner of this place, named Lu Jubei. On the city wall, elite soldiers cooperated with militia, either standing guard or training. Their equipment was not excellent, but they were energetic and looked a little imposing.
The hundreds of household yamen in the city have now become the residence of Lu Jubei. All the young and old of the Lu family live in the yamen.
Ma Zheng was willing to be the deputy and led his troops to live in the military camp.
The two of them were both civil and military, and they controlled Chengshan Fort strictly.
In the main hall, Lu Jubei was wearing a black cotton jacket and sat in the main seat, wearing a blue leather hat on his head, black cloth shoes on his feet, crossing his legs, and was leisurely tasting tea.
Ma Zheng is twenty-seven or eight years old and has a very ordinary appearance, but his body is very burly. He glares at the tiger's eyes and is quite murderous.
He was wearing a half-old battle jacket, and a steel knife hung around his waist, and was drinking tea.
"Wu Nian has been sending troops to Guangyang Mansion for a long time, and I don't know what the situation is now." Ma Zheng put down the teacup in his hand, and a look of worry appeared on his face.
The reason why I dared to gain a foothold in this Chengshan Fort was because Wu Nian attracted the attention of the Mongol Yuan people. If Wu Nian went to Guangyang Prefecture, they would probably not be able to stand up.
He didn't know that Wu Nian had already led his troops back, and there was no way. Now there is a lot of snow in the mountains and the mountain roads are difficult to walk, and the news is very blocked.
Although Chengshan Fort is only a few dozen miles away from Beishan Fort, the news has not yet been heard.
Lu Jubei had a different idea, with a smile in his eyes, he looked up at Ma Zheng, and said, "Wu Nian used conspiracy to rely on the castle to kill some of the commanders of the Mongol Yuan and kill some of the Mongol Yuan warriors. But he overestimated his ability and went to Guangyang Mansion to become an enemy of Wanyan Xian. I think he will die in Guangyang Mansion."
Ma Zheng suddenly became anxious, stood up and his face was dark, put his hands on his waist, and paced back and forth: "Why is Wu Nian going to Guangyang Prefecture? He is fighting in Beishan Fort, isn't he a good fight?"
"Now I sent troops to Guangyang Mansion to save Long Ji, isn't this crazy?"
"If Wu Nian died in Guangyang Mansion, then Mr. Lu, we would have made plans early."
The so-called plan is just two plans. One is to give up the mountain fort, walk on the mountain road, pretend to be an ordinary person, and head south to Chu.
The second is to divide the rule into a mountain fort and surrender to the Mongols.
Ma was a little panicked, but Lu Jubei was calm and composed. He picked up the tea cup, took a leisurely sip of the tea, and then said happily: "Master Ma, don't panic. In my opinion, if Wu Nian died in Guangyang Prefecture, it would be beneficial to us."
"Without Wu Nian standing in front of us, where do we get the benefits?" Ma Zheng was stunned for a moment and asked back. But he soon remembered that the person in front of him was a juren, a scholar, and quite wise. It was because of this that he was willing to be a deputy.
"What do you think sir?" Ma Zheng returned to his seat and sat down. He raised his head and looked at Lu Jubei with a burning look.
"If Wu Nian died in Guangyang Prefecture, there would be no master on Beishan Fort. The soldiers and civilians there fought against the Mongols and Yuan people, had a high morale and a very firm fighting will. They are people who can be used."
"And I am a serious juren from the State of Chu, and the lord is the general flag with official seals."
"He Wu Nian can call himself the general of the Han Dynasty and coordinate the overall situation. Am I not more qualified than him? If Wu Nian dies in Guangyang Prefecture, you will escort me to Beishan Fort and take over the power of Beishan Fort."
"Master Ma. You are a capable person. I am also a capable person. We work together to make a name for ourselves in Liaodong. When the court regains Liaodong in the future, won't we have a bright future?"
When facing the generals under his subordinates, Lu Jubei also dug out his heart and expressed his ambitions and ideas.
As the saying goes, the times create heroes.
He was originally a juren, but that was all. He was not good at studying and getting a Jinshi. Now that he had such an opportunity in front of him, he had to seize it.
Ma Zheng is a man with good martial arts skills and good soldiers.
Wu Nian laid the foundation for them again. The most amazing thing is that Wu Nian has now gone to Guangyang Prefecture, and his life and death are uncertain.
No.
In his opinion, Wu Nian was dead. The other party was Wanyan Xian. Wu Nian was in Beishan Fort, relying on conspiracies, mountain peaks and castles as defense to resist the attack of Jin Huan Mountain. When he went to Guangyang Prefecture, wouldn’t he be so sheep entering the tiger’s mouth and never return?
He was just right, so he took advantage of the opportunity to enter, occupy the magpie's nest, and grabbed everything from Beishan Fort.
People.
I always don’t want to believe what I hear, I only want to believe what I see.
Lu Jubei always believed that the reason why Wu Nian was able to rely on Beishan Fort to do these major events was because of the geography and conspiracies.
He is wise and Ma Zheng is good at martial arts.
Wu Nian could do it, but they could do it too. With Beishan Fort and Chengshan Fort as the foundation, they persisted in the Anti-Japanese War in the mountains.
Waiting for the Chu State to counterattack Liaodong, they are the great heroes.
Hey.
