The case of Guo Si's death has come to an end, but the aftermath will continue to tremble, but it is no longer Zhang Chong's main concern. With the mobilization of Lu State in the west and Dongping State in the north becoming more and more frequent, Zhang Chong has no choice but to put his attention
On the war that is about to break out.
On February 25, the sixth year of Guanghe, we decided on the strategy of defending in the east and advancing in the west. That is, we would still defend the area east of Mount Tai based on the danger of Mount Tai, while we would take the initiative to attack west of Mount Tai.
Now, in Fenggao, in addition to the three troops of Wang Zhang, Ding Sheng and Chen Huan under the command of the original left colonel Guan Yu, there is also the Xie Bi tribe who was recently transferred from the mountains. The original troops under the right colonel Zhang Dan are Li Damu, Dian Wei and Yu Jin.
Recently, Guo Liang's troops in the mountains were also transferred out of the mountains and joined him in the military order.
In other words, at this time, to the west of Mount Tai, the Taishan Army had assembled eight divisions and four thousand elite soldiers. But inside Mount Tai, there were still military officials such as Yang Mao and Du Man, the deputy of the army, leading Heifu and Wei Zhou.
Defense. It seems that the left side is heavy and the right side is light, but Yang Mao has one thousand elite soldiers and four thousand soldiers inside and outside the mountain to protect the land. Considering the danger of Mount Tai, it is more than enough to defend the territory.
On February 26, Ding Sheng's troops took the lead, with Wang Zhang's troops as deputy. The second division went north to attack Bo County, north of Fenggao, and captured the city in three days. Later, Ding Sheng's troops stationed outside the city, and Wang Zhang's troops stayed inside the city to defend Bo.
This county is the boundary between the Taishan hilly area and the plains.
At the same time, Li Damu was the leader, with the Forbidden Department as the deputy. The two units went west, passed through the passes of Culai Mountain and Lianhua Mountain, and entered the central part of Taishan County westward to launch an attack on Liang Fucheng. Liang Fuchang was frightened and abandoned the city.
Liang Fu defeated them without fighting.
As for the Chinese Army composed of Zhang Chong, Guan Yu, and Zhang Dan, they are under the jurisdiction of Chen Huan, Dian Wei, Guo Liang, Xie Bi, Tian Jun, Xi Shen, Dong Fang, and Meng Ju. They are still stationed in Fenggao and are ready to support the two troops going out at any time.
Wire.
Bo County and Liang Fu successively captured it. It can be said that the early military goals were initially achieved, but the chain reaction caused by this was severe.
In the north, as Ding Sheng captured Bo County, Jibei Prime Minister Chen Gui, who was still hesitant on patrol, quickly went south from Lu County to Sheqiu. He not only transferred all the soldiers from the three counties in the north of the county, but also formed a core of 2,000 veterans.
His troops also recruited three thousand people to defend the city.
Snake Hill is right on the Wen River. The reason why Chen Guijie, the Prime Minister of Jibei Province, is stationed here is obvious, which is to use the Wen River as a supply line and attack line. You can go down the Wen River and attack the enemies of Bo County, or even go one step further.
, attack Fenggao directly. You can also stick to Snake Hill when retreating. With the Wenshui River, supplies from the Dongping Kingdom in the north will continue to come. When the time comes, there will be no shortage of food and pay, and the soldiers are determined to die, Snake Hill will be
Solid as gold.
From this planning, it can be seen that Chen Gui, the Prime Minister of Jibei Kingdom, is not an ordinary Confucian. He is well versed in the art of war. He only moved one step and blocked the northward passage of the Taishan Army.
It is true that this Chen Gui is not an idle person. He is the nephew of the late Lieutenant Chen Qiu. He comes from Huaipu County, Xiapi County, Xuzhou. As a noble family, the Chen family has its own family history. Although in the second year of Guanghe, his family
Because of Yang Qiu, his uncle leaked the plan to eradicate the eunuchs and died helplessly. However, the impact on the Chen family was not as great as imagined, and he still served as the prefect of Jibei Kingdom for another three years. He cared for the people well and was loved by everyone.
Therefore, once he sent out troops, there was an endless stream of powerful men who brought their own followers to Sheqiu to join the army, just because they believed in Chen Gui's reputation and ability. For example, Chen Gui's shogunate now can be said to have gathered all the leaders of Jibei Kingdom. Among them, the most famous person is Yan Jiao, a contemporary of the Wangyan family in this county. He is the 23rd generation grandson of Yan Hui and the head of the scholar community in this county. His presence in the imperial court shows that the family of officials is United as one.
In addition, there is Dai Qi from the Dai family in Gang County, Jibei Province. The Dai family is also a virtuous family in this county and has great virtues in the world. His ancestor Dai Feng was a filial and honest person. He was the first to respond to the public car tax. How moral is he? At that time, he was the magistrate of Xihua County. Then there was a plague of locusts in your area. The locusts did not enter Xihua County. Even the locusts were influenced by his morality. They would rather starve to death than eat the food of Xihua County. Oddly, Dai Qi lived up to the high reputation of his ancestors. At a young age, he was known as the Five Dragons of Jibei together with Fan Zhao, Xu Yan, Xia Yin and Liu Bin from the same county.
But this time all the five dragons came into the scene to consult on calligraphy and painting, which was also a grand event.
In addition, there is also the son of the Xing family in this county, Xing He, who is one of the few heroes in the county and is the most brave in the county. Although the Xing family is not famous, Xing He’s uncle is a great person, that is Yang Xu from Taishan Nancheng. , is the leader of the Taiyang clan. Therefore, no one looks down on Xing He for a while.
Regarding the gathering of talented people in the shogunate and the full support of the powerful people in the county, Chen Gui couldn't help but feel proud of himself. He was worthy of the fact that he gave food three times a day and tried his best to care for the people. Therefore, this merit is not in vain, and what you do will always be criticized by others. Remember.
It’s not that no one is worried. Will the prefect Chen Gui resent the Han court and open up the city to release thieves because of the tragic death of his uncle?
That is really unfounded worries. The families of the public families like theirs have long been divorced from the country. Even if someone in the generation has a conflict with the court, it is also that person's own business and does not represent the Chen family. So something happened to Chen Qiu. , many of the officials of the Chen family followed suit. This is the relationship between their clan and the Han court, which can never be broken through fighting.
The same reaction occurred in Liang Fu. However, the chain reaction here was much more severe than in Bo County.
Liang Fu was located in Taishan County, and the geographical situation was quite critical. First, he controlled the passes of Culai Mountain and Lianhua Mountain, which served as the western gateway to Fenggao. Then he was located to the north of Mengshan Mountain, sharing the danger of Mengshan Mountain with the southern part of the county.
Therefore, when Liang Fu failed to attack, the coalition forces of the three counties stationed in Nanwuyang were shocked three times in one day. It turned out that after the former prefect Zhang Ju was dismissed, the coalition forces of the three counties south of the county were leaderless. It's not that the Han Dynasty never thought of sending another governor, but the funny thing is that when Ge Yilang, who was running around as an official, heard that he was going to be the governor of Taishan, which had fallen, he either complained of illness or went into seclusion in the mountains. What else could he say? :
"Since ancient times, everyone has loved fame and fortune, but I only love mountains and rivers."
Seeing that the officials were so afraid of death, the court was also worried that speaking out would chill the hearts of the county officials below, so it kept delaying the decision.
Originally, Yang Zhi was still in charge of the three counties in the south of the county, but last winter, the party boss failed to survive and died. After that, the various families really had to fight hard to fight for this leader. After all, when they settled in Nanwuyang, they had a hand The amount of money and food is as large as the mountains and the sea, not to mention such a piece of information about military chiefs, which is extremely important to the powerful families.
As for the danger? What danger could there be? Those Taishan bandits have been hunkered down for more than half a year, and they haven't seen any movement. But as the Taishan bandits suddenly went south to Liangfu, the powerful people no longer fought for it, but instead favored the Yang family.
Yang Xu, the leader of the Mesozoic Era, served as the main general and was responsible for stopping the Taishan soldiers from going south.
This Yangxu is naturally the uncle of Xinghe, a hero from Jibei Kingdom, as mentioned before. His name was given in the second party imprisonment, so according to common sense, he cannot be a Han official. But at this time
, who really cares about this? Whoever has prestige and can bear heavy loads can be the commander. It's that simple.
However, compared to Wuhe in the three southern counties of Taishan County, the state of Lu in the north is much more suitable.
Lu County already belongs to Yuzhou, but just north of Liang Fu, you can enter the territory of Lu State by climbing over several mountains in central and southern Shandong and crossing Si River. Therefore, after the Taishan Army captured Liang Fu, the Lu State in the north also took action.
Got up.
The current Prime Minister of Lu is Chen Yi, who is also newly appointed. His appointment as Prime Minister of Lu really made some members of the establishment party want to sue. It turns out that this gentleman is the son of the old Taifu Chen Fan.
General Dou Wu participated in the coup and was killed. His son was rescued by friends. During the siege of Taishan bandits, Yang Ci, who had only been appointed Taiwei last year, recommended Chen Yilai to be the prime minister of Lu. At that time, Liu Hong was an important figure in persuading the country.
The reason is that if we don't open a crack for the imprisoned party members, some people will really turn to the thieves.
Finally, Liu Honglai thought about the pros and cons, so he released Chen Yi from prison and appointed him as the prime minister of Lu State, forcing him to act loyally.
After that, Chen Yi rode into the State of Lu and took charge of the encirclement and suppression. As soon as he entered the county, he met Fan Xiang and Fan Jiajing, one of the eight chefs who were senior members of the party, and invited him to join the army and be responsible for assisting in the management of money and food. In addition, there were already high-ranking officials.
, Kong Rong, who was the successor of Confucius for a while, was also pulled into the shogunate by Chen Yi.
When the Taishan Army defeated Liang Fu, Chen Yi did not sit in the county and govern Lu County. Instead, he crossed the Surabaya River and set up a camp on the north bank of the Surabaya River. And although he was only the first prime minister of the Lu State, due to the influence of Confucius, Mencius, and Tibetan in the country,
Many wealthy families strongly supported him, and finally he was allowed to recruit three thousand soldiers. But to be honest, from Chen Yi's point of view, the Lu soldiers were really weak. It seems that these Lu people are no longer as tall as Confucius' nine-foot-tall men.
Reasonable and convincing of people's martial ethics.
Therefore, with only these 3,000 soldiers, Prime Minister Chen Yi could only stick to the north of Surabaya no matter how much he wanted to fight.
In addition, there is another road, which belongs to Tan Mo, the prime minister of Langya State. Langya State is vast and sparsely populated, with only 20,000 households and less than 600,000 people. And there are many wealthy families in the country. The family of King Langya alone has a population of 10,000. In addition,
There are also the Liu family in various counties. Most of these are the queens of Chengyang Jingwang and are also the tycoons of each county. In addition, there is the Dongwu Fu family, the family of Confucian classics at that time. I won’t introduce them in detail. After all, it was the Fu family who lived Duman.
Those who are studying. In addition, there is the Gumu Tong family, and the Xu family are all wealthy families. In addition, there is the Linyi Wang family, and the most famous of this generation is Wang Rui.
Of course, I heard that some fortune tellers had given their fate to the Wang family, saying that the Wang family had crossed the river and prospered, but I don’t know what it meant. Then there is the Yangcheng Ge family, which is not the same as the Zhuge family. The Zhuge family was originally the Zhucheng Ge family.
Later, he moved to Yangcheng and changed his name to Zhuge in order to distinguish him from the Ge family in Yangcheng. Everyone was familiar with the Zhuge family, and Zhuge Gui was still being promoted to be his prime minister of Hanjun.
But despite the fact that there are fewer people in Langya and more powerful people, it is true that the people there are tough and tough. After all, why are there so many thieves in Langya Mountain? If the powerful people were not braver, they would have been eaten long ago.
In short, no matter what you say, as the Taishan Army moved north and west, a four-way encirclement and suppression circle was formed.
