Fifty-one provoked rebellion against the Yellow River
The summer is hot, and the 50,000 army is divided into three parts, the front army is 10,000, the central army is 30,000, and the rear army is 10,000. The three armies are separated by several miles, with flags and flags and guns and swords, and are known as the 100,000 army. They walked and stopped and walked for seven days before entering the territory of Xu.
Xu State is located on the Yellow River in the north and on the south of Shannan Road. It is one of the overlord and powerful countries in the Central Plains. It has a vast territory of thousands of miles and has six cities. Then Xu, Gui, Hua, Deng, Ze, and Wei. Among them, Wei is an important town of the Yellow River, and there are more than 10,000 boat troops stationed on both sides of the terrorist.
Before he arrived at Laohuaipo, sixty miles east of Xuyi, he set up a camp, and an army envoy came to report:
On the third day of the seventh month of the year, Han Zheng, the commander of the Dashang South Road, raised troops in Yueyi, led 60,000 infantry and cavalry soldiers, and 30,000 boat troops up the river. He conscripted tens of thousands of servants from the two Huai Rivers, transported food and grass, and added 50,000 deputy commanders of the Chang Army, totaling more than 100,000 troops, and tens of thousands of servants from all over the two Huai Rivers, claiming to be a large army of 500,000. He was about to attack the Xiagetian clan west along the two Huai Rivers.
On the 25th year of Si Kui, on the first day of the July 1st, Zhang Jia, the commander of the East Road of Dashang, raised an army in Chentang, Donghai, and led 30,000 troops of the Dongyi Taikang tribes, and 50,000 infantry and cavalry of the princes. He summoned nearly 100,000 coastal servants to escort grain, claiming to be a large army of 400,000. On the eighth day of the July 1st, he quickly defeated the three Tao clans of Shandong, and was advancing to the west of Taihao clans, and would attack from Shandong west.
In the 25th year of Si Kui, on the eighth day of the seventh month, the Chu Jiang clan used the excuse of asking for tributes every year in the Xia Dynasty. Wuximan, Shanyueman, and Dongtingman tribes were dissatisfied. Chu Jiang was the common leader of the tribes and wanted to make the decision for the tribes.
On the fifth day of the seventh month, 50,000 soldiers from the Eighty-six Zhai Dongman were formed in Xiangyi, and 30,000 naval troops in Dongting, claiming to be a large army of 200,000 to fight against Xia. Within three days, he captured the northern border of Jingzhou (the southern part is a barren land). He also rode a boat along the river along the north of Jingbei to attack the Youxiong family, the Santong family, the Youyan family and other tribes of Yizhou.
Cheng Tang raised an army on July 1st and vowed to fight in Haoyi, personally led 100,000 infantry and cavalry, 50,000 servants to escort grain, and claimed to be a 300,000 army. He went west along the Yellow River to attack Xia, attacking many major river tribes, including the Getian clan in Henan, Honglu clan in Hebei, and the Dawei clan in Dahe.
The two sides of the river are the birthplace of the summers. The land is fertile and there are many clans. Although these clans are not large in territory, they are densely populated, full of grain, and strong in strength. Therefore, the middle road is the most stressful, so it is left to Cheng Tang to clean up himself, while the princes will take action.
On July 16th, when the Chang army arrived at Laohuaipo, 60 miles east of Xuyi, the alliance of princes had already spread good news, and all the troops were captured. The southern army had already reached the Central Plains and was attacking Shanyi and other places, only a few hundred miles away from the Chang army in the front.
Han Zheng sent an order to pacify the five cities of Xu State within one month, while Wei State was left to the south road Zhoushi to sweep away. After pacifying the Xu State, the grain and grass of Xu State were collected on the spot. It is necessary to collect 200,000 dan of grain and grass before the arrival of the army, and then wait for the army to attack the five gates together.
In the Chang Army camp, the central commander's tent was brightly lit, and the generals gathered to discuss matters. After the civil servants finished reading the military order, Ji Boyan, who was sitting in the first place, looked gloomy and slapped the table and cursed:
"Is this Han Zheng thinking that we are a heavenly soldier and general? He wiped out the country of Xu in one month and collected 200,000 dan of food and grass. Hum... This old man... is not a son of man..."
All the generals also looked embarrassed. Zhang Kui glared around his eyes, and stood up and shouted:
"That's true. This Xu country has many troops and a vast territory. It takes half a month to travel around the towns. Damn... Not to mention whether it can be conquered in one month, even if Xu is destroyed in one month, how can we collect 200,000 food and fodder before the arrival of the army? If we levy intensively, what's the difference between us and Jiexia? The people will not be able to rebel like a tide... When will it be pacified..."
"That's it..."
"This old man Han bullies people too much..."
The generals agreed with each other, and everyone clamored and complained.
Ji Yu smiled calmly and waved his hand. When the generals saw this, they kept silent. The tent became quiet. "It is hard to violate military orders. Instead of clamoring for waste of time, it is better to think of a way to deal with it..."
Ji Boyan turned around and sat down. Seeing Ji Yu seemingly confident, he hurriedly begged, "Sir, will you come up with a plan? If you have any plan, please tell me it so that you can solve our concerns."
Ji Yu shook his head lightly and said slowly, "There is no plan. Although Xu Yi is big, the news will spread slowly when the place is big. We will either concentrate our troops and take advantage of the situation and then fall into a hard battle... or we will just divide the troops and generals, or attack in different directions, and it will come faster. If that side conquers first, it will be better to support all walks of life..."
Ji Boyan was silent for a while before nodding and sighing, "If we want to complete the military order, we can only do this. Oh... well, according to the number of troops stationed in the five cities, we will divide the troops to attack..."
The head coach's plan was decided, and the generals made comments, made up for the omissions, and discussed and decided on the plan:
Hao Chengguanxiong led 8,000 infantry and cavalry to attack and return to the country.
Mo Zijing and Huang Bocang led 10,000 infantry and cavalry to attack the Dacheng Huayi.
Jiang Xi and five thousand infantry and cavalry attacked Dengyi.
Ji Boyan, Lu Yue and Qi Hui led 10,000 infantry and cavalry to focus on attacking Xuyi.
As for Zeyi in the central area, Ji Yu and Zhang Kui led five thousand troops to attack.
He also ordered the Shenyi navy to go up the Ji River, enter the Yellow River, and escort the grain and grass to moor near Weiyi, and secretly recruit the villagers and servants to deliver grain to various Changmen.
The plan was agreed that the army would build pots and make rice, drink and move forward with great success. Then the generals raised the flag of the generals and attacked various towns of Xu State with great fanfare. On the way along the way, the generals of the army would follow the soldiers of the villages on the spot. Those who had the courage would be disciples to go first. Those who knew the skills would follow the army to cast ladders, rush vehicles and other equipment.
Zhang Kui is eight feet two tall, and is two taller than Ji Yu. He has an extraordinary figure, a ring-eyed beard, born with great strength, can wear four layers of armor and go into battle, wrapped tightly, and cannot enter the body with a knife or arrow.
When Zhang Kui was accompanying him, he would bring four entourage soldiers, carry his weapons, armor, and be good at using a pair of octagonal hammers, weighing 80 kilograms.
Zeyi is two hundred miles northeast of Laohuaipu. Along the way, you have to pass Yunmeng Daze. Zeyi is backed by Daze and is good at producing fish, millet, grains, pearls and animal skins, so it is called Zeyi.
"Great Master, how can we make such a big fanfare? If Xu Jun explores horse scouts, sets up ambush along the way, or gathers troops to encircle us, what should we do?" Zhang Kui tied a horse with a heavy armor and hindered his actions. Therefore, all generals, soldiers and soldiers have their own entourages and men.
Ji Yu rode a yellow mare with a gentle temperament, and walked slowly with Ji Yu. When he heard Zhang Kui's words, he calmly shook his head and responded, "Haha... I'm not afraid of him coming. Our troops are divided into different directions, so we have to make a big splash. Our troops are divided into fewer soldiers, while Xu's troops have a lot of soldiers. If they find that we are playing big splash and gathering troops to attack us all the way, the other cities will definitely be empty and just take down the city..."
Zhang Kui scratched his hair and was still confused, "What if Xu's army did not gather troops and had several ways to attack our army... "
"Haha... Isn't that just right? Since ancient times, if you attack the city twice, you will surround it. If you attack ten times, you will attack it. If you have a city that is not defended, you will run out to divide your troops to attack me, and your troops will also be dispersed. It is still unknown whether the outcome of the battle outside the city will be won. If you do not move, you can do all the soldiers in the village, and the soldiers will go to climb the city, or surround the city. "Ji Yu explained lightly.
Zhang Kui suddenly realized that the two of them rode their horses and followed by five thousand squadrons and cavalry. Suddenly, they came to report to the horse, "Report to the general, the great master, three miles ahead, there were about ten households in a village. Seeing the smoke from the reeds, the people were probably returning home and eating at noon."
Zhang Kui turned his head and looked at Ji Yu. Seeing that he was silent, he just looked ahead and nodded slightly.
Zhang Kui turned around and called Xiaoqi to send an order, saying, "Tell me the general's order, and the infantry will take a slow rest accordingly. He took the cavalry commander Huang Miao to order fifty cavalry to summon the male man from the village in front to follow the army for subsequent use."
Seeing Xiaoqi sending a fist, he turned around and was about to send an order. Ji Yu waved his hand and called him, "Tell me to General Huang, don't hurt people's lives. Take away a man, and then put a bucket of corn and five cents of green flies in his home. Just take the blame for work."
Xiaoqi bowed to promise, bowed to Ji Yu with fists, and turned around and left.
