Dong'a City, rather than saying that this small county town belongs to Yanzhou, it is better to say that it is located at the junction of Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Jizhou, and is adjacent to the Yellow River. Although such a city is only a small county town, it is also a must for military strategists.
Fight for land.
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, this city naturally became the target of the Yellow Turban Army. At that time, the county magistrate of Dong'a City, Wang Du, was an undercover agent secretly sent to the city by the Yellow Turban Army. After the Yellow Turban Army's uprising, Wang Du was the rebel
In response, they even secretly burned the granary in the county. Fortunately, the county magistrate of Dong'a responded in time, suppressed Wang Du's rebellion, and extinguished the fire in the granary in time, saving most of the food. However,
This was to allow Wang Du and his followers to escape from the city.
After that, Wang Du pulled up a Yellow Turban Army outside the city, attacked the city head-on, and once captured Dong'a City. Even the county magistrate of Dong'a City was frightened and ran away. But Wang Du could not
He understands military affairs. After capturing Dong'a City, he did not defend the city. Instead, he abandoned Dong'a City and continued to plunder money outside the city. The result can be imagined, without the city wall as a barrier, facing the officers and soldiers
After counterattack, the Yellow Turban Army led by Wang Du could only be defeated.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong'a City encountered several rebel attacks one after another. However, the court finally rescued it in time and this small county town was never breached again. However, after several battles, this small county town was attacked again.
The city walls of the county seat are also in dilapidated condition. In addition, such a county seat cannot attract the attention of the corrupt government, and no money has been allocated to rebuild the city defense. Therefore, the city defense of Dong'a City is getting worse and worse.
, now looking from a distance, this Dong'a City is no different from a small earth city.
Looking at the dilapidated city in front of him, Luo Yang turned around and asked Guo Jia, who was drinking on horseback beside him: "Fengxiao, does the senior brother you mentioned really live here?"
Guo Jia put down the wine bottle, reached out to wipe the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, shrugged and said: "I also heard from the teacher that this Dong'a is the hometown of Senior Brother Cheng Li. Senior Brother Cheng Li did not choose to become an official after he left the army, but
He returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. In fact, I have never met this senior brother Cheng Li, and I am not sure whether he still lives here!"
"Uh!" Listening to Guo Jia's answer, Luo Yang wanted to grab Guo Jia's wine bottle and smash it directly in his face. A few days ago, he followed Guo Jia's advice and traveled day and night, and finally came
I came here to Dong'a to seek advice from the expert Guo Jia said. But now that Dong'a has arrived, Guo Jia gave him such an answer. How could this not make Luo Yang feel angry?
Guo Jia still looked indifferent and said, "Brother Zihui, what are you worried about? Haven't you left Luoyang safely now? If you can't find Senior Brother Cheng Li, at worst you won't go back to Luoyang.
Yes! There must be some reason why you have always sent Wen Zhongye away in recent years!"
Guo Jia said this, but it made Luo Yang smile bitterly. In recent years, he and Wenpin thought they could hide it from Guo Jia, and everyone in the family would see it, but they were too lazy to tell the truth. In fact, what Guo Jia said
It makes sense. Now that Luo Yang has left Luoyang City, if he really can't find Cheng Li's help, at worst Luo Yang will not return to Luoyang and go directly to Phoenix Mountain. With tens of thousands of elite soldiers at hand, he has already
It’s a very powerful army!
However, Luo Yang was unwilling to do so. Although Luo Yang said that he just wanted to survive the upcoming chaos, in his heart Luo Yang was still worried about whether he could get some benefits from the upcoming chaos.
It's just that Luo Yang didn't want to explain these words to Guo Jia. Immediately, Luo Yang shook his head and stopped worrying about these issues. Instead, he turned to look at Dong'a City in the distance and said: "Since we have already
Now that we’re here, what should we do next?”
Guo Jia rolled his eyes and said, "What else can we do? Of course we go into the city!"
"Going into the city?" Luo Yang asked strangely, "Didn't you say that senior brother Cheng Li lives outside the city? Why are you going into the city again?"
However, Guo Jia picked up the jug, swung it toward Luo Yang, and said angrily: "Didn't you see that my jug is out of wine? Of course I have to go to the city to buy wine!"
Hearing Guo Jia's answer, Luo Yang had the urge to vomit blood again. He glanced at Guo Jia who was full of pride. Luo Yang had no choice but to follow Guo Jia's advice. Otherwise, who knows what Guo Jia will do next.
Cause some trouble for yourself. Besides, it's not a bad idea to go to the city first. Firstly, it's getting late now, so I want to find an inn to stay. Secondly, it's just a good time to find out the news about Cheng Li in the city. Just rely on
Guo Jia and Luo Yang both felt a little unreliable.
Immediately the two of them entered the city gate on horseback. I don't know if it was because the walls of Dong'a City were too dilapidated. It seemed that the defenders of Dong'a City had also given up the idea of garrisoning. In such troubled times, the city's
There was not even a guard guarding the gate! Looking at the empty city gate, Luo Yang couldn't help but shake his head. It was obvious that the court had given up on Dong'a City, or simply regarded Dong'a City as a bait to lure the rebels.
, just waiting for the rebels to come to attack, and then send a large army to destroy the rebels. In this way, the rebels were effectively suppressed, but it was a pity that the people of Dong'a City had to suffer the pain of war from time to time.
Of course, Luo Yang, the little Luoyang Nannan Lieutenant, had no control over the problems of Dong'a City, so Luo Yang just sighed in his heart, but didn't say much. After entering the city, Guo Jia just sniffed with his nose.
After sniffing, he walked towards the city on his own. Luo Yang could only follow helplessly. However, what surprised Luo Yang was that not long after walking, he saw a restaurant appearing in front of him.
When Guo Jia saw the sign of the restaurant, he turned around, pointed at his nose and smiled proudly: "Did you see that? This is what I, Guo Fengxiao, can do! Within a few hundred steps, as long as there is wine, my nose will
You can smell it!”
Hearing Guo Jia's words, Luo Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head. What kind of ability is worth bragging about? Luo Yang waved his hand directly and said: "Okay! Okay! You are amazing! Hurry up and buy wine, we will also return it."
I need to find an inn to stay at!"
Guo Jia raised his brows and stretched out his hand towards Luo Yang with a smile, but the meaning was self-evident. Luo Yang had no choice but to reach out and take out some scattered silver from his arms, and threw it directly to Guo Jia.
After Guo Jia took the money, he happily ran to the restaurant. Seeing Guo Jia running to buy wine, Luo Yang was not idle and looked around on both sides of the street. Maybe it was because the world was not peaceful.
Because of this, there were not many people on the street. The few people who came and went occasionally were in a hurry.
Luo Yang simply turned over and dismounted, led the horse to the side, and passed several houses. Although he also met a few people. But before Luo Yang came forward to ask, those people saw that Luo Yang was wearing armor and a saddle.
There was also a long gun hanging on it, and everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they immediately closed the door.
Finally, Luo Yang saw a grocery store, and walked up quickly while holding his horse. The owner of the grocery store changed his face when he saw Luo Yang, but all his goods were placed at the door of the store.
It was too late to move, so he had to smile apologetically at Luo Yang and said, "Well, this, this military master, how can I help you?"
Seeing the fifty-year-old man in front of him nodding and bowing to him, Luo Yang was really not used to it, so he nodded and said kindly: "This old man! I'm just passing by here and want to ask you something."
Some things! Please give me some advice, please!"
The grocery store owner had never seen such a polite military master before. On the contrary, he was not used to it. The apologetic smile on his face became more and more attentive. He almost threw his whole body on the ground and said to Luo Yang: "Master Jun, please don't say that."
, If you have anything you want to ask, please feel free to ask! I will tell you everything I know!" The grocery store owner seemed to have read some books, and he finally said this in a polite manner.
Luo Yangdang immediately said: "Thank you very much, father-in-law! Dong'a actually wants to find someone when I come down here! I wonder if my father-in-law has ever heard of a gentleman named Cheng Li?"
After the grocery store owner heard Luo Yang's question, he quickly lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said cautiously with a grimace on his face: "This, this, this little old man seems to have never heard of this person before!"
"Ah?" Luo Yang couldn't help but his face darkened when he heard what the grocery store owner said. Seeing how old the grocery store was, it was obvious that this grocery store had been here for many years, and now even the owner didn't know about it.
Cheng Li, it seems that it will not be easy for Luo Yang to find this Cheng Li!
Luo Yang's face turned so dark. In fact, he was just a little anxious, but when he fell in the eyes of the grocery store owner, he almost scared him to death. He thought that his answer made Luo Yang very dissatisfied. The grocery store owner was here
Ah Ye has seen a lot of soldiers. He has suffered a lot as a soldier before and knows how arrogant these soldiers can be. The grocery store owner immediately started a cold war and knelt down towards Luo Yang.
, crying and begging for mercy: "Master, please have mercy! Master, please have mercy!"
"Uh! Dad, what are you doing? Get up quickly! Get up quickly!" Luo Yang was thinking about how to find Cheng Li at this moment, but he didn't expect that the grocery store owner suddenly knelt down like this and kept stopping.
Luo Yang was crying and crying, leaving Luo Yang completely confused. He was at a loss for a moment and could only quickly reach out to help the grocery store owner.
