This group of rebels in Yiyang County is quite interesting. The leader is named Zhang Xing, who was originally a lieutenant in Yiyang County. His mother once served as a concubine to Lao Qi Dugu Zheng, but he is not Dugu Zheng’s son, he is Dugu Zheng’s son.
Organized a widow with an oil bottle.
When Dugu Zheng was alive, he served as the general of Zuo Ling and Zuo Fu, and was very capable. Yiyang County belonged to Henan County and was originally the territory of the Dugu family, so he arranged for a county captain to sprinkle water.
This kid didn't originally plan to rebel, but he secretly opened an official warehouse with his men, smuggled a batch of grain and sold it at a high price in the city. Opening an official warehouse at this juncture, isn't that asking for death?
The first thing Yu Juluo did after coming to Luoyang was to count the official warehouses in various places and count how much food was left. Now, he found it out.
Zhang Xing had no choice but to know that this was a capital crime, so he ran out of the city with twenty of his accomplices, gathered a group of refugees in the nearby countryside, and started robbing homes and houses.
This is not considered a peasant uprising. The peasant uprising does not bear the blame.
The Yang Xuanting brothers were both experienced in the battlefield and killed without batting an eye. After arriving at Xiong'er Mountain, they found that the road up the mountain was difficult, so they simply set a fire and burned several mountains.
It's winter and the first snow has not come yet, so the branches are almost dry.
Zhang Xing had no choice but to lead his people down the mountain, otherwise they would be choked to death on the top of the mountain.
This group of people couldn't even muster fifty weapons, even though they had nearly two thousand people. After coming down from the mountain, as soon as they saw Xuanting's equipment, they knew that they were encountering an elite regular army, and they all dared to fight.
Qishang fled in despair.
"Your soldiers are missing shields, and the casualties during the siege are too small. Did Marshal Xu robbed the armories of two counties? He lent you some points and paid them back to him after you use them," Li Deyi said in the temporary camp.
Dugu Zong curled his lips and said, "That's nothing. He didn't know what rioters were until he met the Wagang gang. He knew clearly that we were being deceived, but when he tried to persuade us, we listened and only didn't kill him. Why did the prince
We want to keep him alive, not because the harder he kills, the less likely we are to be afraid. Fear makes people shrink, and kindness has no effect."
If there were no siege equipment, they could only pile up people's lives and carry the makeshift river-crossing ladder under their shoulders, while the rear troops took the lead in attacking the city wall.
Then whose command do you listen to?
Seven days ago, Pei Xingyan and Shi Huaiyi's troops passed by there and saw the Jingguan built with human heads. They did not make any stop and continued to retreat towards Luoyang.
Why are we going to the south? Because Du Fuwei and Li Zitong went to the south. Why are we going to Hebei? Because there are many rebels in Hebei.
Losing Xingyang would be a serious matter, but losing Xingluocang would be fatal.
"A county captain who broke the law was able to gather nearly two thousand people in two months. This shows how difficult it is for civilians to be bewitched," Qu Tutong sat under his horse and sighed.
In Xingyang County, where Guo Fangyu is now in charge, Yang Qingzhi, the governor of Hedong Province, has become a complete display.
Long Yanmeng was caught.
Guo Fangyu wanted to give up Xingyang, and the old Zheng family would allow me to give up, but it was a bad defense. There were only 10,000 people in total, and the rebels were everywhere on the opposite side, and they were raising various banners.
There was no formation, but Guo Fangyu couldn't tell if it was more than 100,000.
Xingluo Cang now only has eight thousand guardsmen, so it can barely hold back the starving people. However, there are at least eight million stones of grain stored in the warehouse, which can definitely be lost.
At present, all the thieves from Shandong are hoarding to the east of Xingyang and have not moved back, because we also feel that there are not many defenders in Xingyang. We dare to attack the city rashly, but we also dare to go around.
"Retreat and take 8,000 men and camp eighty miles west of the city. Be sure to keep an eye on the direction of Xingluocang," Guo Fang pre-arranged.
Estimating the number of people on the battlefield is based on flags. Each regiment or brigade does not have its own flag. You can make a rough guess by looking at the flags. However, the flags of the rebels on the opposite side are too chaotic.
The lack of information and knowledge has resulted in very few people knowing what Luoyang is like. When we first saw Luoyang and dared to fight, we had to fight.
To say that I don't have any compassion at all, I don't have any sympathy at all. It was too difficult to kill Lao Lao, who was hardly an unarmed civilian, and not even a woman, so I didn't have any sympathy.
On Yang Xuanting's side, relying on the small number of people and the large number of people, the siege ended the next day.
If he doesn't touch you, give him food. If he touches you, we'll beat him.
After a few rounds of flying arrows, only a few hundred people were killed, and then they were frightened back.
So if I want to bring those people together, the worst way is not to consume others and save myself.
Your soldiers will be sent out in a heavy situation.
Duguzong laughed: "Now less is more. He has recruited 100,000 soldiers, and the levy has been reduced, but it is very difficult to deceive 100,000 civilians, especially those civilians who have no way of living now. If they rebel, they can still eat
A few days of food is all about living one day at a time."
Zheng Xu, the Duke of Jinxiang County, said: "The low city of Xingyang is a deep pool with no moat. The bandits from Wagang come up to fight, and the bandits from Shandong also come up."
Pei Changcai, Shi Zihe, Long Yanmeng, Qin Junhong, You Xiaoyou, Lu Mingxing, Shuai Rentai, Huo Dahan, Wu Hailiu, Han Tuiluo, Zhen Baoche, Xu Yuanlang, Du Yanbing, Yang Xuanting, Peng Xiaocai, a total of seventeen groups of rebels,
A total of 140,000 troops were selected as commander-in-chief, Yang Xuanting, and passed through Dongjun, approaching Xingyang.
For those of us, the soldiers in our hands are the lifeblood. The losses to the boss are too small, and it is difficult to be swallowed up by others. When the time comes, where will our field be? So although Long Yanmeng caught it, he still didn't
The point is pleasure.
I am Zheng Shanguo, the minister of Xiaoli Temple, the uncle of Zheng Yuanshou, the deputy commander of the right guard of the East Palace, the eighth brother of Pei Guogong Zheng Yi, and now the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang.
Although most of the rebels had participated in the construction of the Eastern Capital, we know what Luoyang's city defense system looked like.
Why are we robbing the landowners? The wealthy families do not have their own private armed forces, and they are gathered together like this. It is a bad fight. We are negotiating with the rebels.
It's easy to escape, we have horses.
"Such a mob is terrifying," Long Yanmeng said.
Why did the old couple fight in ancient times, always fighting city by city. If he chose to go around instead of fighting up, the garrison outside the city couldn't hang in front of his buttocks and chase him. The smallest taboo in marching, for
The old enemy is in the back and in the front.
Among the rebels, few of them had served in the military and understood the rules. However, in a short period of time, we were equipped with all the equipment needed for the march, so the confusion of flags was embarrassing. Just looking at the scene, we knew it was a mob.
"If there are too many thieves, we should guard Hulao Pass and Xingluocang to resist them and increase casualties, waiting for reinforcements," Guo Fangyu said, standing under the wall of Xingyang City.
Guo Fangyu's son Qu Tushoure said with a smile: "We have been here for eight days. They are attacking instead of surrounding us. It is obvious that they want to consume us. If we move, the thieves will bypass Xingyang and hit Xingluo in front of us."
"Cang, the plan for now is not to station troops in Luo and then use Hulao to block the enemy's westward retreat."
Dugu Zong said: "Perhaps you are pampered and have lived a less peaceful life. Are there any older generations who are so cruel and ruthless? The corpses of soldiers everywhere and the corpses of civilians everywhere give people the same feeling."
After all, they are bandits, and they are playing tricks on their brains or belonging to a wealthy family. They told us that Luoyang has not eaten enough food, so they came to attack Luoyang.
Yang Xuanting was also confused in his mind that those people had their own hidden agendas, and that respecting me as their leader was just a temporary attachment. Whoever becomes more powerful in the future would leave, or even replace me.
In the future, they will only compete with each other for territory before a separatist regime is formed. What is urgent now is to solve the problem of food and clothing.
Xu Yuanlang suddenly raised his eyebrows: "My brothers paid their lives for these weapons. Now I lend them to you. If you agree, the brothers agree."
Long Yanmeng sighed helplessly and nodded. If I dare to agree, the other seventeen people will definitely send me off.
Because as soon as it was over, I thought that if there were seventeen people drawing lots, you would definitely not be the one to catch it, but it turned out that the thing was thrown at me, and I regretted it.
Yang Xuanting said: "The military order is like a mountain. Tomorrow morning, Commander Guo will lead his headquarters to attack the city. Other roads will assist from the side. As long as Xingyang is attacked, Xingluo warehouse is not yours. If there is no food, it will be used."
If the officers and soldiers come to kill you, you will be the first to cause chaos."
Yang Xuanting and others also saw the shortcomings, so they used the most primitive method to draw lots. Whoever caught it would have his men attack the city.
During the Northern Expedition, the official warehouses in Shandong were almost completely requisitioned. Now they have been looted by rebels from all walks of life. There is still no food left. The landlords' houses are not. But those rebels did not rob the landlords, but directly
Coming from Luoyang, the granary in the sky.
You can get some food with your hands, so why do you need to do it?
Guo Fangxu knew that his troops were unlimited, so he wanted to use them in the most critical places. If I was disabled in Xingyang, how could I enter and defend Xingluo Cang?
Nearly two thousand heads were built as a temple in Yiyang County.
Qu Tutong was stunned and fell into deep thought.
The reason why Yang Xuanting was respected as Xiaoshuai was because his uncle's army was the weakest. They brought only 80,000 people to Xingyang, but in Shandong, there were less than 80,000 people. They had not yet taken control of the army.
Pingyuan County was occupied, and the county guards and other officials became ghosts on the sword.
"I'm willing to admit defeat. Guo Shuai is also a hero. The results have come out. Xiao Shuai is here. I hope he will admit his defeat," You Xiaoyou said.
Zhai Rang first brought disaster to the area around Xingyang, and now Shandong's rebels are heading there like an overwhelming force.
"It's possible. You followed the prince to fight against Tuyuhun, Goguli and the Turks. Have you ever seen a dead person?" Qu Tutong said with a smile.
"Wagang really doesn't have a hundred thousand people?" Qu Tu said: "You have always been suspicious."
That was not a strong alliance. The seventeenth band of rebels nominally respected Yang Xuanting as the youngest, but no one wanted to be cannon fodder, so for the sake of fairness in the first round of siege, each family sent out a thousand men.
Xiaojia is now in the early stages of starting a business. If there is any conflict between the rebels and the rebels, they should start a fight. He is so poor that he has lost his pants, so there is no point in fighting him?
Dugu Zong sighed: "Yes, it's enough to be afraid, but if you kill too few, he will be afraid."
