The head of the Wen family, whose name was Wen Fang, was the clan brother of Wen Shu, the prefect of Zhuo County. Hearing the report, he was inexplicably sad and lamented:
"My younger brother Hongyuan was a man who loved the people and had a great official reputation. However, he was killed by thieves while he was in office. His entire family was wiped out. Poor Hui'er was only eight years old and died in the army. I was heartbroken when I heard the bad news.
Liu Thief came to Taiyuan today, and my brother's blood feud must be repaid."
The soldier's surname was Wang and his given name was Shengang. He was a member of the Sili family. He lived in Bingzhou in his early years and joined the Wen family in Taiyuan. His ability to serve as an official depended on the Wen family's efforts. The family wanted revenge, so he naturally did not dare to object.
"Liu Thief's army is so powerful that my lord is invincible."
"He has left the army and has only three thousand barbarians by his side. What is there to fear? I will gather my troops and you will mobilize the army in the city. When the time comes, attack from both sides and surround him at the foot of Jinyang City. I will crush the Liu thief's ashes.
"
Wang He had seen Liu Xiang's subordinate Hu Qi, and knew that it would be difficult to deal with him, so he persuaded him tactfully: "I'm afraid that he will ride away and return to his nest in Youzhou. The thieves will be alert at that time, and we will be beyond our reach, so it will be difficult to avenge him."
Well, wouldn’t it be a pity to just kill some Hu Qi?”
Wen Fang showed a distressed look, nodded and said, "What Shen Gang said is reasonable. In your opinion, what should we do?"
Wang He touched his smooth chin. He had a round face, fat head and big ears, and no beard or beard, which did not conform to the aesthetics of the Han Dynasty. He often regretted it. After thinking for a moment, he said proudly: "The imperial edict has been issued to transfer him.
To suppress the rebellion in Liangzhou, there must be a time limit for mobilizing the army, so we only need to use some small tricks to delay the time and wait for him to miss the deadline."
"What's the best idea?"
"The army has not moved, the food and fodder has gone first, and the baggage and supplies have been manipulated, and the lord has contacted some relatives and friends. The delay along the way has made him stumble and find it difficult to live in peace. I will ensure that his head falls to the ground. In this world of the Han Dynasty, there is no room for vulgar warriors.
presumptuous."
Wen Fang felt that this statement was reasonable: "Okay, I will leave this matter to you to arrange. As long as the great revenge is avenged, I, the Wen family, will be grateful for the kindness and will be grateful in the future."
The two discussed for a few more words, and Wang He said goodbye and went out to take care of things and arrange things to harm Liu Xiang.
The next day came in the blink of an eye.
It was not until the afternoon that Jinyang's grain and grass baggage was shipped out. Eight thousand shi of grain, 14,000 bunches of fodder, 100,000 feathered arrows, as well as coarse salt, pickles, medicinal materials and other baggage items were delivered to Liu Xiang.
But the supplies had to wait for subsequent delivery by civilian workers.
Watching dozens of vehicles and hundreds of people, the transportation team coming and going.
Liu Xiang laughed from the bottom of his heart: "Someone is going to cause trouble. This is a good thing. It would be better to have a hard time and not be able to leave Bingzhou for a year and a half."
He didn't want to go to Liangzhou anyway, and he wished someone would block his way.
It's really funny. Isn't this little trick of delaying time just to exploit his weakness? Whether it's for wealth or hatred, use him as a surrender and knead him, thinking that he will swallow his anger and accept the defeat?
Then you are out of your mind.
Liu Xiang sneered disdainfully: "I don't want to get involved in the officialdom of the Han Dynasty. Who will play the tricks of the officialdom with you?"
Do you want to cause trouble? He just can't find an opportunity to cause trouble. It would be better to make the matter bigger and make it known to everyone.
Again, the Anping Army was created by Zhao'an. As long as he does not rebel and as long as he does not understand the purpose of resistance, the court will have to tolerate him. The court compromised once last year, and it is not unacceptable to compromise again this year.
.Those who play politics in the temple have compromised too many times, and few dare to fight for it.
"Call Ke Bineng over."
Not long after, Ke Bineng, who was wearing a fur coat and black iron armor of the Han army, and a hairy haircut, followed Su Wei to the Chinese army's tent, and saluted with clasped fists: "I will see you at last, general."
After more than a year of studying, Ke Bineng's Chinese has become much more fluent, and he no longer stutters as long as the sentences are not long.
"Kebineng, take your people to keep an eye on the grain and grass. There are sand and gravel in this batch of grain, and there are sticks in the forage. You need to keep an eye on it."
Kebineng became angry, grinned and roared, and said angrily: "They deceived the general, I will kill them all." After saying that, he went out to kill.
Liu Xiang hooked his hand and said, "Come back."
The current Ke Bineng has not yet had the ambition to unify Xianbei. He is a quite simple grassland man. When he heard the call, he turned back and persuaded: "General, they deceived you. You can't bear it. Kill them next time."
I don’t dare to lie.”
Liu Xiang smiled and said to him: "Take the people and watch the peasants carry it. They move very slowly, so there is no need to rush them. Check the food and grass in private. If there is no sand, stone and wooden sticks, you have to go in when others are not paying attention.
It’s added inside, do you understand?”
Ke Bi Neng scratched his head: "If you add gravel and sticks, you can't eat it."
"There is still food and grass in the camp. I am not hungry. I need sand and gravel in this food and sticks in the forage. Do you understand?"
"Got it."
After Ke Bi was able to get out, he mobilized his troops to watch the food and grass being transported into the camp. He said nothing and stared blankly. The civilians who were transporting the supplies thought that the barbarians wanted to eat people, so they were so frightened that their hands and feet became weak and their speed became even slower.
Already.
It took three days of transportation before all the supplies were in place. The manager of Cangcao asked Liu Xiang to sign and sign to indicate that the supplies had been received.
But before the ink could fall on the bamboo slips, Hu Qi mutinied. Kebineng led his men into the Chinese army's tent, placed General Pingnan Zhonglang under house arrest, and tied up Bingzhou Cang Cao to make noise in the gates of Jinyang City.
"The grain is mixed with stones, the grass is stuffed with wood, and the governor of the state is merged, and the anti-edict is not obeyed."
Three thousand barbarians rode outside the city and shouted. The four gates of Jinyang were closed tightly. Merchants and pedestrians were isolated from the inside and outside. Zhang Yi, the governor, could not sit still. Jinyang is a place where water and land meet, and it is an important commercial town that connects the north, south, west and east.
The losses at Chengsuoguan were too great.
This is not possible and must be resolved quickly.
Zhang Yi knew that Bingcao and Cangcao were trying to manipulate Liu Xiang. There had been too much trouble in Youzhou in the past two years, and the young people needed to be suppressed. Being arrogant was not a good thing.
Although he did not show up, he had personally inspected this batch of supplies, and there would be no problems. According to his idea, the supplies would be provided as usual, which made Liu Xiang anxious. He knew some rules. If he accepted the imperial edict, he would be considered a great official of the Han Dynasty.
Know how to be respectful, there is still enough time anyway, hurry up and you will not miss the deadline.
Why did he mutiny? On the day when the army arrived, he hid in the tower and quietly observed. The flag was upright, the scouts were constantly coming and going, the march was orderly, and the momentum was overwhelming. To be able to lead Hu Qi like this, Liu Yicheng really has the qualifications to be a famous general.
.
It is unbelievable that such an army would mutiny at any time. There was something going on here. How could they be so ignorant and fearless at such a young age? How could they act so wantonly?
Without respecting any rules, how can a big Han lieutenant general with a salary of two thousand dan behave like a child and behave as he pleases, without being able to bear the slightest grievance? This is not acceptable.
Zhang Yi wanted to teach Liu Xiang the rules and polish his temperament. He felt that as a senior official in the officialdom, he had the responsibility to let young people know the rules of the world.
But if Liu Xiang doesn’t play by the rules, who will play political games with you?
I have a strong army and a strong horse, but I just want to make trouble, and I just don't follow the rules.
