Chapter 277: Westward
In June, the war in Yizhou suddenly heated up. First, the Wang Haogu's troops who besieged Tianmen suddenly exerted their strength. After several days of resistance, a group of noble generals opened the door to offer the city. The main general Pan Yue was captured alive and became Wang Haogu's prisoner. Then, Wang Haogu launched a fierce attack on the Sun Zhiyuan's troops in Xingqing. With the assistance of the Iron Cavalry led by Tienig of the Mongolian Army, Sun Zhiyuan struggled, and lost three battles and three times, retracted back to Xingqing County.
The troops led by Sun Zhiyuan were all led by Pan Haoran personally. In fact, they had very strong combat power and did not suffer any loss when fighting against the Mongolian army. The problem is that the Mongolian army now has a general like Wang Haogu who is well versed in the internal affairs of the Yizhou army. The troops are clearly aware of the character of the general of the Yizhou army. With such a person to be responsible for commanding the war against Yizhou, Sun Zhiyuan's talent is really difficult to deal with.
"If Pan Haoran asked Brief Shu to command Xinghe and the troops of Xingqing and the two places, we would pay several times the price, and we might not be able to achieve the immediate results." Wang Haogu said to Barutu with a little pride: "Pan Haoran is afraid. He is afraid that Brief Shu will fight back like me, which will doom his fate to fail."
"Can you say that you surrender?" Seeing that Wang Haogu highly praised the brief, Barutu couldn't help but feel thinking. Wang Haogu smiled and shook his head, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this. The brief description is different from me. He may not be the kind of foolish and loyal person, but he will only be able to protect himself in the end without surrendering to the Yuan Dynasty."
Barutu nodded slightly. In his opinion, Wang Haogu was a real villain. Since he said that it was impossible to surrender in a brief description, he would not have to spend this week.
"What we need to do now is to apply fermentation to the poisonous weed in Pan Haoran's heart. When his suspicion of brief description further deepens, he will inevitably find ways to deprive the military power of brief description. At this time, brief description will inevitably take action in order to protect himself. That time, it is the time when we go directly to Yizhou City."
"Attack Sun Zhiyuan!" Barutu smiled. "He Xinghe's side, but he still did not move."
"Yes. Keep the troops still." Wang Haogu smiled and said, "But we should also be careful of briefly telling the surprise attacker and stabbing us."
Yizhou was caught in a continuous war, and in the western part of Yizhou, although it was far from Xingqing and Xinghe, the tense atmosphere was no less than the war zone. A brief description of the army's departure, and the various tribes who had been suppressed by him for many years were immediately ready to move.
"General, this time I went to Chima County first!" Ma Yigong could not hide his haggard look, but his eyes were filled with excitement.
"The five counties of Chima, Luohu, Gaoyang, Chenghua and Gu'an are mainly Gaoshan tribes, and are divided into five major parts. Over the years, they have been killed by Brief Stories and have difficulty in making their way out. After Brief Stories, they immediately started to move and prepare to go down the mountain." Gao Yigong spread out the map and pointed at these five people: "The Chima I went to this time is a large part of the Gaoshan tribe. The leader is Meng Xiang. This person has had some business interactions with me before, and the friendship is pretty good."
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "What business does Mr. Yigong do with them? Is it difficult for this ethnic minority to trust a Dayue man?"
Gao Yigong said awkwardly: "I won't hide it from the general, I will sell everything, from needles and threads to large quantities of food and weapons, as long as they need it."
Yun Zhao laughed, "No wonder they trust you. It turns out that they are not afraid of you betraying them because you have the handle in their hands, right?"
"The general said, I will sell these to them. If the general briefly tells the story, it will naturally be a matter of losing his mind, but he will make a lot of profits, and the profits will be calculated ten times. Among these five counties, Chima, Luohu, and Gu'anke all have gold ore ore."
Yun Zhao's eyes lit up: "Take it serious?"
"Of course, otherwise the general would think that why these tribes have such money to buy my things? Money is not a problem for them. The problem is that they can't buy good things even with money. There are not many merchants like me who dare to lose their heads."
Yun Zhao nodded. Of course, Ma Yigong is not a reckless guy. He dared to do this, so he naturally had his own channels. "What are Meng Xiang and the others going to do?"
"The Gaoshan tribe is mainly entrenched in Chima, Luohu and Gu'an. Chenghua and Gaoyang are too close to each other. It turns out that the government forces are extremely powerful and they cannot gain a foothold. As for Gaoyang, the Gaoshan tribe has no place to set up a cone. The camp briefly described is here. This time I went to Luohu, Meng Xiang placed a large number of orders with me, saying that Meng Feizheng, the chief of the Gaoshan tribe, convened five tribes and was preparing to run to Chenghua and Gaoyang." Ma Yigong said.
"I have a big appetite and good chances, but I want these places too!" Yun Zhao said with a smile.
Ma Yigong nodded understandingly, "The general said, I am in Chima, and I warned Meng Xiang as an old friend to not act rashly, so as not to cause unintentional disasters. But he obviously did not listen. In the end, he just promised me that if he delayed the time, he would not be the first to send troops."
"Do you think this is someone who can be recruited?" Yun Zhao certainly would not think that Ma Yigong was simply persuading Meng Xiang as an old friend.
"Yes, generals and the high mountain tribes occupy these places. If they simply kill, they will be killed or killed. They will be killed fiercely. They retreated into the mountains and came to make trouble from time to time. It is nothing to briefly say, but if we want to immigrate to these places, we will not be able to withstand this kind of harassment. If there is a person with the identity of Meng Xiang who defects to us, then things will be much easier."
Yun Zhao nodded, "You are very worried about it, but these people may hate the people of Dayue. It is not easy to recruit them. The brief description makes sense. Let's make some adjustments and first defeat their prestige, and then take the initiative to comfort them. First, they have some sweetness, big sticks and honey, and at the same time."
"Where is the general preparing to advance the troops? Chima or Gaoyang?"
"Of course it's Gao Yang!" Yun Zhao said without hesitation, "A brief description of how many years have been in Gao Yang, where Da Yue people are powerful and have a large population. Now, after a brief description, Da Yue people in Gao Yang are afraid of panic."
Ma Yigong said admiringly: "What the general said is, in Gaoyang, what I see is the people who are running away in a row. Rich people are running, and people who have no property are running, but most people cannot run and can only live in panic all day long. If we enter Gaoyang, these people will clap their hands to welcome them."
"There are many people in Gaoyang and Dayue. We stand in Gaoyang, win over Meng Xiang and attack Meng Fei. Such a great clan leader of the Gaoshan clan must not be kept." Yun Zhao slapped the table and stood up. "Mr. Yigong, I have decided to lead three thousand soldiers into Gaoyang and guide the five counties."
Gao Yigong was shocked, "General, what should I do if I take away three thousand people, what should I do if I leave Yulin? Only 500 people left? Once I go to Gaoyang, Yulin's status is too important. This is our backyard and retreat path!" "Leaving five hundred people is enough. This is your old nest. Ma You's current garrison army can be used. Pan Renzhi also honestly came out to serve as the county magistrate and started to be the director. If you hit the nails again, you can become our stable rear." Yun Zhao said uneasy.
"Thank you for your trust!" Ma Yigong said with admiration.
At the end of June, the weather was getting hotter, but in Gaoyang County, the news that the Gaoshan tribe was coming was even more frightened by the upset of the weather. Over the years, with the support of a brief army, the Gaoshan tribe has always been the target of the Dayue people's exploitation. The Gaoshan tribe sells things at a very low price, while the buyers have a very high price. In the same location, using a Gaoshan tribe is more than half the price than using a Dayue people. The most ragged and dirty place in Gaoyang County is the Gaoyang people who have been living here for a living. For more than ten years, the Dayue people here have become accustomed to treating the Gaoshan tribe as the lowest target of exploitation and think it is of course.
But when the briefly described army left, all the people discovered that these things they took for granted were backed by powerful force. When this backing suddenly left, the hatred accumulated over the years was like the edge of a volcanic eruption, which could erupt at all times.
There were only 500 poor town soldiers left in Gaoyang County, and there were thousands of Gaoshan tribes living in the county. Although their long-term power made these people still look up at them, they always looked at them with some weirdness. Gaoyang County Magistrate Zhao Xu felt that he was about to collapse. Over the past few days, there have been hundreds of conflicts between the Dayue people and the Gaoshan tribes that broke out in the city. Although he quickly cut off the mess, arrested and executed these Gaoshan tribes without mercy, and temporarily suppressed them, he understood that once this years of power disappeared, what awaited them would be a catastrophe.
The news that the high mountain tribes were gathering on a large scale from many places made him feel uncomfortable. Most of the wealthy tribes in the county have left, but as the imperial official, he was responsible for defending the territory, but he did not dare to escape at will, otherwise he would have a quick knife waiting for him. Helplessly, he could only order four towns and eight miles to build villages to protect himself.
As more and more gather towards Gaoyang County, the atmosphere became more and more tense.
Zhao Xu issued an expulsion order on June 29, ordering the Gaoshan tribe members in the city to leave Gaoyang County thirty days before, otherwise they would kill Wuhe.
After the expulsion order, the Gaoshan tribe in the city fled Gaoyang County with the elderly and the young. For them, Gaoyang County is not a hell, and their lives may be killed by the Dayue people on the verge of riots at any time.
As the Gaoshan tribe left, the atmosphere in the city became even more tense. Zhao Xu nervously organized Minzhuang to prepare to defend the city. More and more news has shown that the attack of the Gaoshan tribe is imminent. Fortunately, although the Brief Stories left, there are still a large number of weapons in Gaoyang County, and Gaoyang County also has complete urban defense facilities.
On July 1st, news came that Chenghua City was broken. The Gaoshan tribe had occupied Chenghua. Gaoyang County was about to enter a state of war, but Gaoyang, who lacked effective organization, inevitably fell into panic.!~!
