Liu Xiang was very irritable and wanted to beat these people to death.
Ignoring military law, a total of 2,232 soldiers were arrested.
223 people died due to injuries,
261 people committed adultery,
244 people were injured and disabled,
1,604 people were robbed and injured,
He didn't hurt anyone, he just stole, and he didn't catch anyone who took property. There were more of them.
According to the military law of the Han army: wherever you go, you abuse the people and force the women into slavery. This is called a traitorous army, and the offenders will be killed.
The crimes of these people were worthy of beheading. Even if they were sentenced to a lighter sentence, 628 people would have to be beheaded.
More than 30,000 of the new recruits were from the same village. There were too many clan members and too many beheadings. These recruits were probably going to mutiny.
Liu Xiang could not waste his troops on countering the rebellion, so he had to give up the battle here. The city of Zhuo County was strong, so even if he attacked by force, he might not be able to defeat it.
In the end, it is estimated that they will return to Guangyang and wait for Huangfu Song's army to conquer them.
If he can capture Zhuojun, he will have the opportunity to leave Youzhou and plot Zhongshan. When the Black Mountain Army rises early next year, Liu Xiang can use it as an aid to jointly resist Huangfu Song's conquest, and he will be much safer.
If we want to capture the entire territory of Zhuo County, these new soldiers are still useful and we cannot let them become distracted.
Letting criminal soldiers go lightly has great hidden dangers.
The people in the city will definitely be resentful, and if some ambitious people incite them, they may start a rebellion.
A powerful person from an aristocratic family would not miss such an opportunity. If the rear becomes unstable at a critical moment, Liu Xiang will suffer a big loss.
When other counties heard about this, they were afraid that they would fight to the death and the war situation in Zhuo County would become extremely difficult.
He was agitated and couldn't sleep well all night.
When I woke up in the morning, I felt a little cold. After all, it was late August and the weather had turned cooler. In a few days, winter would be here.
That's how it is in Youzhou. Summer and winter are very long, and spring and autumn pass by in a blink of an eye. A gust of wind in spring, a rain in autumn, and then they run away, not caring about this land at all.
He added an extra layer of clothing and felt a lot warmer. Then he put on the silk sleeve shirt, which was the lining of the armor. Then with the help of Su Wei, he put on the chain mail and the belt.
Once you put on your shirt again, you are ready to pack up.
Ring mail is chain armor. In the Han Dynasty, this type of armor was linked with iron wires or iron rings and was called ring mail. It was passed over from the Western Regions.
Because the production is cumbersome, it has not been popularized on a large scale. Only the noble families have some treasures. Liu Xiang's piece was found in the Gongsun family's treasure house.
This ring-lock armor is well-made, made of hundred-refined steel, and is embellished with toggle buckles, not the second-rate goods with wire clasps.
The armor weighs more than 20 kilograms. In order to prevent rust, the craftsmen painted it with paint, making the whole armor black. The paint craftsmen are skilled in craftsmanship, and the paint color is full, the patina is moist, and there is a slight gleam. This armor can be regarded as
The inner armor is worn close to the body and is enough to protect against arrows and swords. It is almost the same as the iron armor in the army.
Of course, the defensive power is definitely not as good as the forty-eight kilograms of cold-forged armor. But Liu Xiang couldn't wear it. With nearly fifty kilograms of iron armor on him, he couldn't even ride a horse well.
Alas! Don't mention this kind of self-esteem-injurious thing again.
After packing up, wearing exquisite armor, and taking the guards with her, Liu Xiang felt very safe and came to the lobby of Fanyang County's government office.
First, he ordered people to build a simple high platform outside the north city, and informed the people in the city that the criminal soldiers would be punished outside the north gate at noon, so that they could come to watch the execution. Four thousand recruits from the selected camp also came to watch the punishment.
If 40,000 new recruits are left to make random guesses in the camp, something could easily happen. It is better to select some of them to come and observe the execution.
Tiqi was ordered to carry military talismans to the camp outside the city to deliver the order: All the soldiers in the guard camp should assemble and stand by at the execution ground in the north of the city. The leading soldier of the criminal soldiers was responsible for escorting, while the others waited to maintain the order of the execution ground.
Liu Xiang knew that some soldiers also violated military laws, but these veterans had a sense of proportion. When they attacked the mansion of a powerful family, they hid some property privately, did not hurt anyone indiscriminately, and were not caught. Liu Xiang just turned a blind eye.
He closed one eye and let it go gently. At this time, he didn't want to be harsh.
After lamenting the issue of military discipline, he ordered the Yueqi camp to be stationed at the north gate of the county, and a thousand crossbowmen to be on standby at the execution ground.
Everyone is on alert to prepare for any eventuality.
After making arrangements for the criminal soldiers, Liu Xiang picked up Di Bai's information.
Di Bai's family lives in Linhe Township in the south of the city, with 300 acres of land. Both his parents are present at home. He is the eldest son, and has a younger brother and three younger sisters. There are no prominent figures in his ancestors, and the family has made a living from farming for generations.
He became famous in the countryside for his bravery and was recruited by the previous county magistrate as a thief. He resigned last month due to laziness.
This man could barely be regarded as a small landowner, and he was still ambitious and wanted to change his family, otherwise he would not have worked hard to become famous.
It's a pity that in the Han Dynasty, he was a typical person from a humble background, so it would be strange if he was not excluded.
Since he came to vote and was a hero of the uprising, he could use it. It just so happened that he needed to run around for something today, so it was a test of his ability.
Then he wrote a document, used the big seal, and ordered Di Bai to go outside the north city to supervise everything at the execution ground. Before noon, the high platform must be erected and the place leveled.
After deciding on the two strategies, Liu Xiang took the map, looked at Beixin City on the map, and imagined the Zhongshan Kingdom to the south of Beixin City. There was not much time window to conquer Zhongshan, and it was extremely difficult.
I also thought of Julu County in the south of Zhongshan, where Dong Zhuo is currently being beaten, and Huangfu Song is marching to Jizhou, and will not reach Julu until October.
By that time, Zhang Jiao had already died of illness.
Zhang Liang was defeated and died, Guangzong fell, and 80,000 Yellow Turban troops died.
In November, Huangfu Song continued to advance north, defeated Zhang Bao in Xiaquyang, and killed more than 100,000 Yellow Turbans.
Xiaquyang is less than a hundred miles away from Wuji County, Zhongshan State.
Liu Xiang was thinking about whether he could do anything in more than two months.
Tian Chou hurriedly ran in and handed Liu Xiang a battle report: "...report to the general, urgent report from Yuguan!" He took a breath and said again: "I met the messenger delivering the message at the gate of the county government office. He had already run away.
I’ll send you the battle report first.”
"Take it down and rest." Liu Xiang checked the sealing marks and mud on the wooden coffin to see if it had been opened.
Sealing is to cover the wooden slip with the secret letter written on it, and then cover it with a layer of wooden slip to block the writing. The two wooden slips are fitted together using grooves. The four sides of the wooden slip will be covered with sealing mud, which is both a reinforcement and a means of confidentiality.
It can be understood as the encrypted envelope of the Han Dynasty.
He himself had exchanged letters, so he paid special attention to the confidentiality of the letters. Not only did he require seals to be grooved, sealed with mud, and stamped, but each army also arranged its own secret code.
The secret code of the front army is Gouchen, the rear army is Dizhi, the left army is Qinghua, the right army is Changsheng, the middle army is Ziwei, the general's mansion is Haotian, and the guard Wuhuan's captain is Tanlang. A unified bronze seal.
, printed by the leading general.
Seals with Arabic numerals 1 to 12 were also created. According to the time of sending the message, they were printed after the secret sign. The combination of the two seals was the complete secret sign, which was printed by the Tiqi stationed in each army.
Liu Xiang required that for every secret letter, the seal should be complete, the seal should be clear, and the secret message should be clear.
Scratching off the seal of the secret report in my hand, at the junction of the two wooden slips, there were small characters "Gou Chen 8" printed on it, which represented the letter sent by the former army in August.
After confirming that there were no errors or omissions, Liu Xiang opened the seal and inspected it.
Yuguan battle report: "On August 14, the scouts detected the middle section of the Liaoxi Corridor, and a large number of civilians were repairing the road section. It is expected that the seaside road will be repaired after one month, and there is a fear that enemy troops will invade the territory. Whether to attack or defend, the front army will
If people dare not be good at specialization, I hope the general will show him."
After reading the battle report, Liu Xiang is not worried about Yuguan. The city gate there is about to be repaired, and there are 5,000 former troops stationed there. The 3,000 Yuguan guards are about to be recruited. They are training in Linyu, and there are 30,000 militiamen building the city.
Later, grain, grass and baggage from Tuyin will continue to arrive.
It is extremely difficult to conquer Yuguan.
The dilemma is that if fighting breaks out again in Yuguan, he will have to fight on three fronts. He is seeking death!
