Lord of the House

In late February, in Fuliang County, at the western foot of Yishan Mountain, two woodcutters, one old and one young, entered the city from the east gate with two heavy bundles of firewood, and were intercepted by the guards, who each paid an entry tax of 20 yuan. Xu passed, entered Dongcheng, and shouted along the street.

Shops along the street saw people coming into the city to sell firewood. From time to time, people inquired about the price. The young people kept silent, and the old people stood on the street and bargained with others. Sell ​​firewood to other homes.

In front of a tea shop, the shopkeeper of the tea shop is a middle-aged man. Hearing the chai seller, he lifted the curtain and walked out. When he asked the price, he frowned and said, "Dude, this chai has more than doubled from last month. Ah, if it goes on like this, the house won't even be able to start a fire."

The old man replied in a hoarse voice: "The kiln workers in Qimen rebelled, flooded the mines, temporarily cut off the supply of coal, and the officers and soldiers went into the mountains to rehabilitate them, and we don't know when we can stop for a while. It is not easy to enter a city, and the cost of headcount has doubled from last month. Tell me, the shopkeeper, how can the price of firewood not increase? If the price does not increase, our family can only drink the northwest wind...

The shopkeeper of the tea shop added, "The kiln workers at Qimen rebelled, but the charcoal boats in Changhe haven't been scuttled yet. Brother, do you want to lower the price of firewood?"

"Come on, come on, the charcoal boats in Changhe have been jumping for a few days. Don't you see the boats in Poyang Lake capsizing one after another these days?" The code was picked up, and his Fuliang words were still a little jerky.

Hearing that the code was connected, the tea shop manager's eyes lit up, fearing that he would attract the attention of the guards on the street, he forced himself to say calmly: "Yes, yes, you bring me the firewood and carry it to the backyard..." He opened the curtain The young and old who sold firewood entered the shop, and gave the two guys behind the counter a wink, asking them to keep an eye on the door, and then directly lead the old and young selling firewood into the backyard.

"Dare to ask what the lord is called?" The tea shop Zhang refused to look at the young man and asked.

The old man smiled slightly and asked, "It is said that Huang Bin, the Fire Harrier, has poisonous eyes, is it true or not, how did you guess Hu Tou's identity?"

"There are a lot of children in Fuliang and Yongshan in the army. The Privy Council will send an ordinary dark pile, and will not send someone who speaks Fuliang's language jerky," said Huang Bin, the Fire Harrier.

"I'm Hu Qiaozhong, how can I meet Yu Wencheng, Yu Wenbei, and Uncle Pan Wen as soon as possible?" Hu Qiaozhong said.

"It turned out to be the master of the army, and Huang Bin, the commander of the Gandong Division of the Military Intelligence Department, has seen the army!" Huang Bin was startled when he heard Hu Qiaozhong's identity, and hurriedly saluted.

The traditional town army has a strength ranging from more than ten thousand to tens of thousands. Except for the main general, the deputy generals are all matched by the number of generals and the number of generals, and the division of positions is not strict. The Huaidong armies were upgraded from battalions to the same level as towns. One town often governed more than ten brigades. Lin Fu was located between the towns and the brigades.

Chongzhou boys such as Hu Qiaozhong and Chen Enze are already the backbone of Huaidong when they are in the army or in the army, as city captains, in official careers, or in charge of prefectures and counties.

It's no wonder that Huang Bin was taken aback. Yu Wencheng and Yu Wenbei, who went to sneak into Ganzhou, were already brigade commanders. Hu Qiaozhong entered Ganzhou as an army officer, not to mention that Gandong always had to use his hands and feet. Do a big job?

Huang Bin couldn't hold back his excitement, and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to have a big fight soon?"

Hu Qiaozhong smiled slightly as an answer.

Huang Bin went on to say: "Wu Jingze led the kiln workers in Qimen, and he defended the Huangtian cottage, attracting the rebels from the surrounding counties. Uncle Pan Wen was in Yongshan, but Eryu was in Fuliang, waiting for the Privy Council to come down. Instructed to do a great job!"

Hu Qiaozhong didn't say much. Many things had to be discussed in detail after seeing Yu Wencheng and Yu Wenbei. He put down the firewood and went out of the city separately with Huang Bin. Meet Yu Wencheng, who is lurking there.

****************

It has been three months since Yu Wencheng led his troops to Liangziya, and a remnant of the Ganzhou army of more than 100 people had been bandits here based on the mountain. Occupying a dangerous land, on the one hand, it deviates from Fuliang Avenue, and on the other hand, this remnant team is low-key and did not attract the attention of Fuliang County.

After Uncle Pan Wen went north, he was in contact with Pan Qifeng's former clan who had previously defeated him in Shangrao and fled into the deep mountains and forests. Yu Wencheng came to collect this remnant, and recruited his father and brother from Yongshan and Fuliang. Now the troops in Liangziya have gathered 600 people, more than the garrison in Fuliang County.

In the early spring, it was warm and cold. Fortunately, people in the mountains used to burn fire ponds, and everyone sat around the fire pond. The Privy Council dispatched Hu Qiaozhong to sneak in, and Yu Wencheng also knew that this meant a big fight was about to happen.

"Wu Jingze brought the rebels from the surrounding counties into Huangtian, and 2,000 rebels were circling in the deep mountains of Huangtian," Yu Wencheng said, "Uncle Pan Wen can gather nearly 2,000 people in Yongshan, and Wenbei can gather nearly 2,000 people in the north of Taishan. More than 700 people, plus the manpower of the peripheral Duchang and Poyang, can almost immediately gather 4,000 troops, enough to completely wipe out the rebels who lured into Huangtian. If you move, it will be easy to recruit soldiers again, three to five thousand people are not a problem!"

"Your Excellency has already gone to Quzhou to supervise the battle, and the battle in Shangrao will be intensified, but it's hard to say in Jiangzhou. Maybe Yue Lengqiu and Hu Wenmu will spare some energy, so that Shewenzhuang can draw a lot of troops into Jiangzhou. Gandong," Hu Qiaozhong said, "the enemy of Huangtian can't be annihilated, and at least he can't let the She family pull over 10,000 soldiers and horses from Jiangzhou for the second time, otherwise it will be difficult to form a prairie prairie. , the development of the situation in eastern Jiangxi will also be difficult. If you only move all the way to ambush, will you be able to defeat the enemy of Huangtian?"

Uncle Pan Wen did not move, and Daishan and Liang Ziya could only move all the way. There were only six or seven hundred people. Together with Wu Jingze's troops who lured the enemy into the deep mountains of Huangtian, there were only a little over a thousand people - this time, only one person was used. Thousands of people, just not afraid of attracting too much attention from the luxury family.

Yu Wencheng thought for a while and said, "The troops stationed in the counties of Fuliang are mostly recruited from the localities for the Shejia family, and they are greedy for the money and food they give, but there are not many who are willing to fight hard battles with the Shejia family. , it's just difficult to completely wipe out!"

"Don't always think about annihilation," Hu Qiaozhong said with a smile, "Let some of his men go out, so as to lure the second one to come in, and then all the ministries will unite and beat him hard!"

"Okay, Daishan and Yongshan will not move for now, and Liangshanya will go first, which can be considered to be the first to win." Yu Wencheng said.

Hu Qiaozhong asked about the armor and equipment on Liang Ziya's side——

In the past four months, through the Yejing Valley Road between Huaiyu Mountain and Yishan Mountain, the Privy Council has successively imported thousands of weapons into the eastern Jiangxi area, mainly swords and spears. After all, spears are light in weight and occupy a lot of space. No, it will be a killer if you put it on the wooden pole after transporting it in.

There is no shortage of qualified knife handles and gun handles between the mountains and forests. Even if it is a stainless steel blade, three or five people can smuggle in hundreds of them, but it is much more difficult to transport the armor. Yu vice.

The soldiers are smuggled in, and how to distribute them is a matter here. Hu Qiaozhong is worried that the distribution will be too even, which will weaken Yu Wencheng's combat power in Liang Ziya...

Yu Wencheng licked his lips, laughed, and said, "It's Liangziya that came from Qimen. I'm afraid that the other tribes will be too ostentatious and pretend not to be like bandits. Most of the bows, crossbows, and scales are hidden in Liangziya, waiting for the official Let's divide the uprising. This time, we really have the upper hand. Wen Bei and Uncle Pan Wen want armour, so we can only wait until they are captured..."

This time, it is impossible for Yu Wencheng's subordinates to hide the troops and horses that went into the mountains to quell the chaos. As long as this is officially launched, the She family must be able to guess that Yu Wencheng's subordinates were dispatched by Huaidong. All that is needed now is to make the She family underestimate the scale of the infiltrating troops and the source of the troops, so as to prevent the She family from sending a large army to suppress the territory for the second time.

As long as the troops and horses sent by the She family into the nest can be defeated twice in a row, on the one hand, it can create a greater momentum in eastern Gansu, on the one hand, it can give a greater blow to the She family, and on the other hand, more seizures can also Organize more people to join the resistance army in eastern Gansu, and there is no need to rely on Jiangning for supplies from Yishan.

********************

Shewenzhuang is not ignorant of the abnormal banditry since the beginning of spring in Jiangxi.

At the beginning, Shewenzhuang did everything possible to instigate and promote Liu An'er and other Hongzepu water village forces to launch a civil uprising in the Huaisi area. In fact, it was also necessary for the refugee army to disturb the heart of Hehuai and restrain the troops of the Yue Dynasty on the southern line from moving northward for the sake of the She family. The northern invasion of Zhejiang and Zhejiang created powerful conditions.

At this time, Huaidong wanted to pursue the old plan of the extravagant family, how could Shewenzhuang not notice it at all?

It is one thing to be aware of it, but it is not easy to put out bandits everywhere!

Invited by Wu Jingze, Uncle Pan Wen led the remnants of the Ganzhou army to the north, but after Uncle Pan Wen left Gannan, the resistance movement in southern Gansu did not stop, but under the banner of Uncle Pan Wen, it became more and more intense.

The She family's troops in the southern Gansu area were already extremely weak, and more than 4,000 troops and horses were assembled in the city of Ganzhou in the lower reaches of the Ganjiang River to defend the dignified and important place in Jiangxi.

Shewenzhuang's idea is no different from the previous prediction of the Privy Council: as long as Ganzhou ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ will not cause chaos to sweep across the lower reaches of the Ganjiang River and both sides of the Poyang Lake, even if temporarily give up on the more than 20 counties in southern Gansu Control will not affect the overall situation of Jiangxi.

The retreat of the luxury family in southern Jiangxi has made the resistance movement in southern Jiangxi even more turbulent. In just three to five months, the resistance army has grown to a scale of 10,000 to 20,000 people. Although the She family was not afraid that the 20,000 resistance troops with their children and daughters would be able to break through the blockade of Ganzhou, they never dared to take it lightly.

In addition to southern Gansu, banditry in western Jiangxi is also becoming more and more serious, and there is also a tendency to start a prairie fire, which seriously affects the contact between Jiangzhou, Yuzhang and Yuanzhou. In the eastern area of ​​Gansu, but the situation in western Jiangxi also made him unable to take it lightly!

Huang Binghao and Chen Zishou were in Yuanzhou, and they always called Shewenzhuang to be uneasy. If Huaidong sent someone to contact Huang Binghao and Chen Zishou, it would be hard to guarantee that they would not have the heart to repeat.

It is unlikely that Huang Binghao and Chen Zishou will switch to Jiangning immediately, but the Jiangxi bandit's love has become a prairie prairie, and Huang and Chen must be conniving behind them. Once the rebels isolate Yuanzhou from Yuzhang, Huang Binghao and Chen Zishou can stand on their own in Yuanzhou without listening to the orders of the luxury family—they also have bargaining chips with Jiangning in the end, and they don’t have to hang themselves in the luxury family. on a tree.

In contrast, although there was some movement in the Gandong Mountains, Shewenzhuang also noticed that the movements in the Gandong Mountains were more likely to be directly led by Jiang Ning, but they did not have the energy to send more troops to guard the Gandong area.

Jiangxi is full of crises, internal and external difficulties - the offensive of Chizhou and Jinghu faced by Jiangzhou and the offensive of Shangrao to Huaidong, these two are the difficulties that the luxury family must overcome. Shewenzhuang did not realize that Gansu The civil unrest in the eastern region will soon spread like a prairie fire. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
