Yangzhou is located in Nanyang Prefecture. This prefecture is one of the important towns in Yangzhou. It has a concise geography and convergence of water conservancy, which is a place that military strategists must fight for.

When Yuan Wenchang conspired to rebellion, he ordered his clan brother Yuan Huacheng to stay here and stabilize the situation. Later, Yuan Wenchang led his army north, and Yuan Huacheng continued to station in Nanyang. When the war in the north was in a tight position, there was continuous material and military transportation support, most of which were Yuan Huacheng's contribution.

Like his brother, Yuan Huacheng was also from a military army, with a cold temperament and extremely strict governance of the army. The difference is that he likes to drink, has a bad temper, and will beat him if he is dissatisfied with his subordinates. Yuan Huacheng became a playboy who has a son, Yuan Jun, who is greedy and lustful, and is a standard playboy. At that time, the Yuan Jun had to take a fancy to Song Kechan, so he encouraged his father to come to propose marriage and wanted to include this woman. Fortunately, the Song family later had Xu Nianniang and Zhou split into Cao to rescue him, and they were rescued.

Song Zhiyuan was the director of Nanyang Academy and was quite famous in the local area, so the father and son of the Yuan family gave him two points of etiquette and would not force him to rob him. However, the Yuan army was not polite to the ordinary families in the city. As long as the woman he liked, he would just dodge him and put on his pants and leave. If he had not yet had fun, he would be tied back to the mansion and continue to waste it!

In Nanyang Prefecture, the Yuan family father and son became the only local tyrants.

Although the Yuan family had accumulated a large amount of money and had been preparing for more than ten years, once the war began, the consumption of every day was extremely amazing. Needless to say, food, grass and materials were also difficult to estimate. These manpower and material resources would never be prepared enough in the war era.

When Shi Pojun rebelled, he simply adopted a robber-like method to raise the war by fighting, treating the entire Yongzhou as a pig and sheep, and seeking it.

However, with Yuan Wenchang's ambition, he was destined to not be as savage as Shi Pojun. He cared more about people's reputation, so the main subsidies and support were transported from Yangzhou. However, what I said was often done was another matter. After all, the warehouses in the rear were not inexhaustible. When the materials were in urgent need, they could only be plundered from the people: In this way, various new tax items emerged.

Among them, recruitment is the top priority.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying: A good man does not join the army. This concept has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No one is willing to join the army unless he has to.

If you can't recruit soldiers, you can't stare at me. The front-line battlefield and others are using it, so you have to use tough means to conquer the young and strong.

After several twists and turns, the whole of Yangzhou has long been full of grievances.

Because Yuanhua Cheng's father and son were in the country, Nanyang Prefecture was even more exploited. Many young and strong families, from the age of fifteen to fifty, were basically arrested and entered the army and rushed to the north to join the war. The family was left with women and children, and they suffered from bullying and suffering.

In fact, there are not many troops left behind in Nanyang. Apart from some old and weak, the main force is Yuanhuacheng's direct personal soldiers, with about 500.

Yuan Huacheng himself also complained about this.

Before this, this was not the case. At that time, the Yuan Wenchang marched very smoothly. He fought all the way to Wuling Pass, and it was like a staggering moment. Although he was blocked in front of Wuling Pass, he finally broke the capital and entered the Forbidden City.

When the news came back to Yangzhou, Yuan Hua became ecstatic and felt that the Yuan family was about to have an emperor. However, he was not happy for long. With the invasion of the Mongol Yuan, the war rekindled, and the front line was tight again. After a few days, Yuan Wenchang's handwritten warrants returned, and the content was similar: either you want money, you want people, and all kinds of supplies...

Yuan Huacheng did not dare to resist the order, and did his best to try his best to try all his skills. In the end, even the guards were dispatched.

This approach is not stable. With fewer guards, Nanyang has become an empty place and is prone to mistakes.

However, Yuanhuacheng is not worried. Yangzhou is located in the rear, and the neighboring states are even less threatening. What we need to be wary of is mainly internal, and there is no civil chaos.

Inside and outside the city, young and strong men were either arrested or fled without a trace. What kind of storm can they cause?

That day, after finishing some work, Yuan Huacheng was drinking and eating meat in the yamen. Some disciples came to report: "General, there was a spy to report that a group of refugees were coming to the capital."

Yuan Huacheng heard this and felt a little strange and asked, "Where did the refugees come from?"

"It's not clear yet. I don't know if it's from Yongzhou or from the north."

"Yongzhou? Are there any refugees there..."

Although Yuan Huacheng drank a lot of alcohol, his mind was still clear.

Since the last wave of refugees, there have been basically not many refugees in Yongzhou. At that time, Chen Sanlang was still the county magistrate in Jingxian.

In fact, this is a very normal situation. Refugees cannot be endless, and there is always a certain degree. After the incident, the Yuan family invested almost all their resources in the north, and no longer paid as much attention to other states as before, because the manpower was really unable to take into account, and there was no need to do that. The adjacent Manzhou Yongzhou was basically abolished and there was no need to pay attention to it.

Therefore, in recent years, we are not clear about what happened in Yongzhou and Manzhou.

Yuan Huacheng asked again: "How many people are like this?"

The disciples replied: "Nearly a thousand people, most of them are young and strong."

"so much?"

Yuan Huacheng jumped up, thought for a while, and smiled grimly: "No need to ask, it must have flown from the north."

As wars broke out in the north, more and more refugees were. As for why they were young and strong, it was easy to explain. Escape was an extremely arduous process, cruel and harsh. The elderly, weak, women and children rarely support them. They often died halfway, or died by manpower. The rest were naturally young and strong.

"It came just right, take them all and escort them back to the north for war."

Yuan Huacheng said, his eyes shining, and he immediately shouted: "Come here, order three hundred soldiers and go out of the city to catch people!"

He has always been in a prosperous and never dragged on the mud. He has 300 personal soldiers, not to mention nearly a thousand refugees, even three thousand are enough to control them. In front of real soldiers, the rabble of refugees and refugees are not worth mentioning. When the swords and guns are lit, the other party is so scared that he kneels down.

Get it!

Three hundred light cavalry, who roared out of the city and arrived more than ten miles outside the city, and indeed saw a large group of people coming in a winding manner. From a distance, they looked like they were dressed in rags and supported each other.

Yuan Huacheng smiled even more grinned on his face and shouted, "Scatter and surround him, and no one is allowed to be let go!"

The horses were yelling, and the light cavalry even whistled, spreading their formation, and gathering from both sides like dumplings.

Yuanhuacheng was not even wearing armor, and he clamped his legs and drove the horse forward, waiting to shout and scold him.

call out!

The violent sound of breaking through the air was very close, and it was coming from a group of refugees several feet away. A powerful crossbow shot from the corner, turning into a throat.

"ah!"

Yuanhuai was wide open with an incredible expression on his face, screaming, turning over and falling down, and he was almost gone.

"Brothers, kill!"

Some of the refugees who had previously seen the cavalry and were timid in a group, shouted loudly, and pulled out bright long swords and chopped them fiercely at the horse's legs. In a blink of an eye, a bloody storm started, and the strong horses cried and screamed. The Yuan family soldiers who had just been domineering were frightened to find that they were not lambs, but tigers and wolves. They were caught off guard and could only resist desperately. However, the other party was too fierce, like chopping melons and cutting vegetables. In just half a quarter of an hour, more than half of the three hundred light cavalry had been attacked...

At this moment, a larger group of people emerged further away, mostly infantrymen, and some cavalrymen were the first to be the cavalry, which was Mo Xuanyi.

Looking up at the Nanyang City Wall not far away, Mo Xuanyi bent a smile that was unexplained, a little cold and a little emotional, and then said, "Nanyang, I'm back!"

This city and here have a special existence significance for him. When he received the order, he wanted to get rid of Chen Sanlang. The failure of things became a turning point in his life. He was then chased by the Yuan family and experienced all the warmth and coldness of human nature, but he was rescued by Chen Sanlang. Finally, he arrived in Yongzhou... The past was vivid and emerged one by one.

Before heading to Nanyang Prefecture, Mo Xuanyi had already led his troops to occupy Jingxian.

Jingxian is no longer the same as before. When Yuan Geshu attacked at night, Chen Sanlang walked quickly and did not catch up. In order to vent, Yuan Geshu appointed the new county magistrate without mercy to Jingxian. This person is not unfamiliar with this person. Li Guangye, the leader of the refugee who had wandered over, did not choose to follow Chen Sanlang, but instead changed his mind and defected to Yuan Geshu.

When Yuan Geshu saw it, he made him the magistrate of Jingxian County.

From a refugee to becoming an official, Li Guangye was very unsatisfied and all the sufferings, contempt and dislikes he suffered during the escape were added to the people of Jingxian County, so happy and proud.

Although he was not a professional, he was good at ease and sat steadily in Jingxian - until now.

Jingxian is a small city with few guards, with a few cats and dogs. As for the yamen runners, they show off their power when facing the people, but when facing the real army, they immediately look like silly quails and cannot move.

Mo Xuanyi occupied Jingxian without any effort. When he saw Chenjiazhuang, which was destroyed beyond recognition, he immediately ordered Li Guangye to behead him and then ordered people to start the construction of Chenjiazhuang.

If his hometown is relocated, who would have left his hometown if he had no choice but to force him? Mo Xuanyi knew that his hometown was very important to Chen Sanlang. Although Chen Sanlang is now the lord of Yongzhou, if he has the opportunity, he will definitely return to Jingxian. Don’t forget that after accepting the imperial edict, Chen Sanlang controlled the three states. As his foundation grew, he was gradually no longer satisfied with the land of one state. If not, Mo Xuanyi and others would not have appeared here.

The construction of Chenjiazhuang was a plea for Mo Xuanyi. As a member of his subordinates, he should do it. If he didn’t even have this little look and thought, wouldn’t it be useless?

After getting Jingxian, he took a break and avoided the water route and headed to Nanyang Prefecture by land. Due to the blockade of news, Nanyang was unaware of it. In fact, the dead Li Guangye had not yet figured out where the sudden emergence of the army was. The guards and yamen runners died, and there was no one who escaped the net.

The soldiers are very fast. Mo Xuanyi used a trick to kill Yuan Huacheng and severely damaged the personal soldiers of the Yuan family. At this time, the guards in Nanyang City were already extremely weak and were no match for the Ruishi Army.

The entire Yangzhou has opened its doors, and it is almost like "Welcome to come".

The process of siege and siege was unexpectedly easy. Mo Xuanyi was full of energy and thought to send the good news back to Yongzhou as soon as possible and send it to Chen Sanlang. The young master must be very happy to hear the news!
