"Handian is beginning to gather its feathers, and Yancheng is suddenly relieved." [Arrow Poetry]
The emperor seemed not to notice the little actions of Xun's uncle and nephew under his nose. After explaining a few details about food preparation and military deployment, he waved everyone to leave.
But not long after, Jia Xu left and returned, and the emperor said casually: "It seems that Mr. Xun just wanted to blame you."
Jia Xu said: "Du Chu's rebellion was right next to his bed, but the ministers did not know about it in advance and take precautions. This is indeed a dereliction of duty. This is probably what Jun Xun wanted to say."
"With Jia Gong's wisdom, it is true that things will not develop to this point." The emperor said softly, simply pushed aside the piled urgent memorials, leaned back and said: "Whatever they have to say, they can only whisper in their hearts. A wise man
A thousand thoughts will lead to a mistake, and who can never make a mistake? I just want to use this excuse to let Zhang Ji give up his position. The position of Sili Xiaowei is so important. Ding Chong was still making unreasonable criticisms of the government.
, talking nonsense, almost ruining a big thing, we can't let them do it now."
Jia Xu then said: "I was also negligent for a moment. I didn't expect that Du Chun would be so bold and cause chaos in Fufeng. However, it is nothing to worry about. Zhang Ji has been in battle for a long time. It will not take long for a battle to be decided."
"That's fine. Although there are many powerful people in Guanzhong, the imperial court has been running for a long time. Nowadays, everywhere is not quiet. It is better to have less right and wrong here." The emperor spread out a piece of silk and began to write.
Jia Xu's expression became darker and darker, as if he had been told something. "Wei Wei" responded and quietly withdrew.
Yizhou is a vassal state of Qianwei.
Wu Banzheng, the young magistrate of Zhuti County, was sitting on the top of the city, overlooking the noisy and noisy troops of more than a thousand soldiers in different clothes. He looked calm. Not only was he not worried about whether the more than 200 county soldiers under his command could withstand the attack, but
He also chatted with Zhang Ni, the county magistrate next to him, with great interest: "Bo Qi, the following people are nothing at all. I originally joined the army in Guanzhong under Pei Sili to fight the Qiang and Hu soldiers in Liangzhou.
It’s called a strong journey.”
Zhang Ni is a heroic and generous man. He is already the magistrate of Zhuti County at a young age. Although there are few people in this county and the Wu class only has 300 shi, it is enough for the young Zhang Ni to give full play to his talents.
"There are swarms all over the place, so they should not be underestimated." Zhang Ni glanced down and saw that those outside the city were barbarians from Yizhou County. They were just the vanguard, about a thousand people.
This time, the barbarians from the three counties of Yuexi, Zangke, and Yizhou in the south central region raised troops to rebel. Led by the powerful Meng family in Yizhou, they all agreed to capture the Jianwei vassal state sandwiched between the three counties, and then
The combined troops went north to Bajun and Shujun. These are plain areas that have been peaceful and prosperous for a long time. It is difficult to resist the barbarian soldiers coming from the mountains and forests.
Zhang Ni thought to himself that if he lost the fight in another county, he might just run away. But Zhu Ti was a thorn stuck between the three counties. If he abandoned it easily, I am afraid that the situation in Nanzhong would become even more uncontrollable.
.
At this point, Zhang Ni thought of reminding Wu Ban a few more words, hoping that the county magistrate, who had been a ranger and fought against the Qiang and Hu in Guanzhong, would pay more attention to these barbarians and never underestimate them.
After hearing these words, Wu Ban chuckled and said: "Bo Qi may not know something. Regardless of Qiang Hu or Nanman, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are not good at attacking forts. When fighting on the plains, hundreds of people in my county
A person may be nothing, but if you are condescending and relying on the city wall, I will defend it for three days. It is no problem. And after three days, the reinforcements from the governor of Nijiang will arrive. At that time, the inside and outside will cooperate, and the barbarians will be defeated!"
Zhang Ni was also a very strategic person. Seeing that Wu Ban was confident, he felt relieved. But when he looked at the low city wall, he couldn't help but doubt Wu Ban's words about holding on for seven days. At this time, he suddenly felt something in his heart.
An idea: "How about we make a plan, pretend to surrender, call them into the city, and then ambush and kill the barbarian chiefs, then the enemies will disperse."
"It is easy to ambush the enemy chief, but the enemy may not disperse easily... These are all from the same clan, and are not as loose as ordinary bandits." Wu Ban frowned in doubt, said this, and spoke.
I want to veto Zhang Yi’s proposal.
Zhang Ni insisted on his opinion and argued with Wu Ban several times. Finally Wu Ban said: "It is not what I want to sit and defend the city and wait for the enemy to retreat. Even if I can defeat the enemy, why not give it a try? But it still has to be done."
Be flexible."
"Everything is subject to Wu Jun's orders." Zhang Yi, who was also an adventurous and restless person, immediately said with clasped fists.
So the two made a plan to pretend to surrender and invite the enemy chief into the city. When the enemy chief led his troops into the city halfway, they suddenly closed the door and intercepted them.
The two organized the more than a hundred county soldiers already in the city, plus a small number of garrison soldiers, young and strong soldiers, etc., and immediately started to invite the barbarians into the city. Just halfway through, Wu Ban had not yet ordered an ambush when he suddenly heard
There was a commotion in the distance, and a standard trooper and horse were seen charging out of the forest with great momentum, rushing towards the end of the enemy's formation. The barbarian soldiers were caught off guard, and were immediately defeated by the impact, and the inside and outside of the city gate were also in chaos.
Wu Ban felt anxious and immediately said: "These are the soldiers and horses of Governor Sun. All the soldiers in the city, follow me out of the battle!"
He and Zhang Yi didn't care to think about how Sun Ce crossed the mountains in a short time and rushed here. Seeing such a good situation outside the city, they commanded the troops to kill without thinking. The barbarians had no chance of survival in front and no way to retreat.
, the two sides soon cooperated internally and externally, and completely wiped out this group of barbarians.
After the defeat of the barbarian army, Wu Ban noticed that it was not Sun Ce's main force, but his captain Huang Gai. He enthusiastically stepped forward to express his gratitude to Huang Gai, but the other party stared at him with an unkind expression.
Looking at him, even the knife in his hand was not sheathed, which made Wu Ban a little unhappy: "What does Colonel Huang mean by this?"
Zhang Yi was still alert and reacted quickly. He explained to Huang Gai that he and others had just deliberately let the barbarians into the city in an attempt to attack them halfway. Huang Gai saw that the expressions of the two men did not seem to be fake, and asked several Zhu Zhu on the spot.
The county soldier was convinced and said slowly: "But it is so, it is understandable."
Wu Ban originally had some complaints, but when he saw Huang Gaishe praising himself and others, he put aside his dissatisfaction and briefly introduced the latest situation in Nanzhong.
"The chaos in Nanzhong was especially severe among the Meng clan in Yizhou, who had six or seven thousand soldiers, followed by Gao Dingyuan, the commander-in-chief of Yuexi County, who had perhaps five thousand soldiers and horses, and Zangke County had the least, with only
The rest of Jingzhou is adjacent, and the Wuling barbarians are now rampant in rebellion. The two may be linked together and difficult to deal with." Wu Ban pointed around on the crude map with Zhuti County as the center: "As for the most Yongchang County, it is benefited.
The two counties of Yuezhou and Yuexi are isolated from each other. Now the news is different, and I don’t know what the situation is."
After Huang Gai heard about the situation, he nodded approvingly to Wu Ban and briefly revealed the deployment: "General Lou Chuan has taken the navy to go up the river. The barbarian soldiers can't go through the waterway and can only walk on the mountain road. In this way,
We will have time and opportunity to defeat them one by one."
