"Where is the village master?" After Shao Xun entered the village, his first words were to find someone.
Everyone looked at the headless body beside the wall.
Very good, no need to kill.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether to kill or not. It's just a hundred households. In the future, more than a thousand households of refugees from Bingzhou will come here. They will be diluted all of a sudden and will not be able to make a big splash.
"Jin San." Shao Xun called.
"exist!"
"From now on, you are the master of Yunzhongwu. You will lead one to three teams and the scattered soldiers belonging to this building to station here. Plow and practice. Don't let me down."
"No!" Jin San responded loudly.
"The rest of you, follow me down the mountain." Shao Xun ordered directly without stopping at all.
"Ah? Master Shao, don't you want to eat some water before leaving? There are some livestock raised in the bandit's village, just in time to slaughter them." Jin San asked in surprise.
"It's such a pity to slaughter the livestock." Shao Xun touched Jin San's head, laughed, and said: "Also, it's not called 'Thieves' Village', it's called 'Yunzhongwu'. You are both the Superintendent of the Silver Spear Army and It’s the dock owner, remember.”
After saying that, he left directly without any nostalgia.
This place is located in the southwest of Yiyang County, about thirty miles away from the county seat, not too far, not too close. If we advance all the way, we can reach the shabby county town tonight that seems to be blown down by a gust of wind.
But instead of going to the county seat today, he went to Yiquanwu to join the army led by Mi Huang.
Yiquanwu is also called Yihewu.
"Book of Jin" contains: "Yiquanwu is located on the north plain of Luoshui, southwest of Yiyang. It is also called Yiquan garrison."
"Shui Jing Zhu": "Luoshui flows eastward and passes through Yihewu to the south. The city is located on the northern plain of Sichuan. It is twenty feet high and has three boxes in the south, north and east. The sky is steep and steep. Only building the west side is called Hegu. The name of Yihe originated from this."
Like Yunzhongwu, it is located on a plateau. Probably because of sufficient water, the county seat of Yiyang County was even changed here in the Tang Dynasty and named "Fuchang County".
The name Fuchang comes from this, and it is roughly located in the area of Fuchang Village, Hancheng Town, Yiyang County today.
Yiquanwu has been operating for a long time.
As early as the Three Kingdoms period, Du Shu was appointed as the prefect of Hongnong and began to build Yiquanwu. From then on, it has been in the hands of the Du family.
The current owner of the dock/marshal of the dock is Du Yin, the grandson of Du Shu and the youngest son of Du Yu. For many years, I have been farming and studying in Yiquanwu, watching the world situation.
Zhang Fang passed by this place several times, but he was helpless against this tortoise shell-like fortress, so he could only let it go and ignore it.
Of course, Du Yin is also very good at being a good person. He always offers part of the money and food with a very respectful attitude. Coupled with his status as a Jingzhao Du family member and a fellow from Guanzhong, what else could Zhang Fang do? Just take the money and leave, that's all.
Obviously, Du Yin, whose ancestral home is in Guanzhong, is already a local snake and a local householder in Yiyang. He even sought the position of Hongnong Governor, but Mi Huang stopped him and felt a little unhappy.
Today, Mi Huang led his army to "visit", and he felt even more unhappy, but he just didn't show it on his face.
Shao Xun arrived at the army station in the evening.
When he arrived on horseback, thousands of soldiers from the kingdom's army cheered in unison, which greatly surprised Du Yin, who was leaving the dock to pay a visit to the prefect.
"Who is this golden-armored warrior?" He looked at Mi Huang and asked.
"General Shao Xun in the palace." Mi Huang stroked his beard, chuckled, and said, "People from Donghai Qu are extremely brave."
"It's him!" Du Yin had obviously heard of this name and asked, "But is it the young general in the palace who captured the Changsha King?"
"Exactly." Mi Huang said with a smile: "The emperor gave him a formal dress, a sword, and a golden armor, to show that he is a 'hero who upholds the sky and protects him'."
Du Yin couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The eldest brother, Shangshu Zuocheng Du Xi, once mentioned this person to him, saying that all the governors and generals under Sima Yue were dead, but this person was the only one who was fierce and bloodthirsty and dared to fight. Not only did he overthrow the King of Changsha, but Shangguan Si, Zhang Fang and others did not take advantage of him.
When he first heard it, Du Yin didn't think it was anything. When he saw the real person, he believed it. The reason is simple: this person has military morale.
If you have never led troops or personally managed thousands of people, it is difficult for you to understand the feeling of everyone cheering for you.
Fortunately, he is the general in the palace.
Otherwise, if they follow Mi Huang to Hongnong, add a general number, and designate a defense zone, they, the fort masters, will feel uncomfortable. Do you think it's better to have a hard-on with him, or spend money to ward off misfortune?
"A true tiger general." Du Yin praised.
Mi Huang smiled happily and said, "If Hongnong hadn't been so troublesome, I wouldn't have called him over."
eventful? Du Yin secretly speculated in his mind and secretly observed Mi Huang's face, but didn't see anything.
Strictly speaking, they, the fort masters, all have their backs on their shoulders.
Have you ever robbed or killed a business traveler? The ones that have happened to some extent are mainly small and weak merchants or business groups.
Have you ever robbed people? That's too much. Forcing them to become Wu people is something every Wu Fort master has done.
Have you ever fought against other Wubao? Of course there is.
The relationship between Wubao and Wubao is very delicate, and it is not uncommon for them to plunder or even attack and kill each other.
As long as the court investigates carefully, problems can always be found.
Before Du Yin left the dock, he had already discussed it with his third brother Du Dan, and felt that Mi Huang was referring to the word "money and food". In order to avoid causing conflicts, it is better to give him part of the money and food and treat him as a beggar.
Yiquanwu is only a dozen miles away from Yiyang County, and it occupies fertile irrigated land. The origin of many of the fields is unclear. Zhang Fang crossed the border several times and swept through Yiyang. After the Guanzhong army withdrew, they took the opportunity to take over a lot of land. This was problematic.
Spending money to eliminate disasters may seem frustrating, but it is actually the best solution.
Thinking of this, Du Yin glanced at Shao Xun who was riding his horse this way, and finally looked in the direction of the Wubao turret - the third brother Du Dan was standing on it in neat clothes.
Once a fight breaks out, there will inevitably be heavy casualties, which is not a good thing for both sides.
"Lieutenant, I have led my army to attack Yunzhong Village and captured and killed hundreds of people." After dismounting, Shao Xun reported loudly: "Let's rest tonight. Tomorrow, I will reorganize the army and go west to attack the other villages. We must let them He obeys the orders of the lieutenant."
"Thank you." Mi Huang nodded.
Du Yin's eyelids twitched.
He knew that Shao Xun was bragging that even if all the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were used up, they would not be able to break through Quan Yiyang's Wubao.
But the pressure is real. What if he takes Yiquanwu for surgery first? Even if they are lucky enough to defend it, their strength will be greatly damaged. It is difficult to say whether they can gain a foothold in Yiyang. After all, Yiyang is more than just a Wubao.
"I have always heard about Yunzhong Village." Du Yin suddenly laughed and said: "The leaders are a few old thieves. Over the years, they have recruited fugitives, robbed and killed businessmen, and forced good family members to farm for them. This has gradually become a trend. . When the general breaks this stronghold, he should do it to eliminate harm for the people."
"Oh? Du Gong actually knows about this stronghold?" Shao Xun asked curiously: "But he didn't know that there are several bandit strongholds on the banks of Luoshui?"
Du Yin pondered for a moment and then said: "Luoshui has fertile soil and the people's customs are pure. There are fortresses such as Yanggongwu, Heshuiwu, Yiquanwu, etc., all of which respect the king's law. There is never a shortage of household adjustment and field work. The number of people Qu Erlang sent to the battle is countless, and they can be said to be exhaustive and complete."
"That is to say, except for Yiquanwu, Heshuiwu, and Yanggongwu, all are bandits' strongholds?" Shao Xun asked.
Du Yin frowned.
This guy is so aggressive, does he really not take Yiyang's "fathers" seriously?
Mi Huang stood aside, stroking the handle of the knife with his left hand and stroking his beard with his right hand, seemingly not hearing what they said at all.
After a long time, Du Yin breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Not all are thieves' strongholds."
Shao Xun had an idea.
This dock owner Du Yin doesn't seem to have a tough personality. The kind of words he just asked would have made the dock owner with a bad temper and bravery get angry, but Du Yin endured it.
Although Wubao and Wubao will attack each other, there are also many who marry each other and provide mutual aid. Some small Wubao will even rely on the big Wubao. The scale of Yiquanwu is relatively large in Yiyang County, maybe even the largest, so how could it not have vassals?
If Shao Xunruo chooses all these Xiaowu forts, will Yiquanwu stop them or acquiesce?
"Since it's not a bandit camp, why don't you come to see the Lord?" Shao Xun asked forcefully.
"This..." Du Yin's face looked a little ugly.
Shao Xun secretly thought that Du Yin's temperament was a bit weak. It's okay now, but if it were during the Yongjia Rebellion, even if you had a powerful force like Yiquanwu, you probably wouldn't be able to withstand the waves of attacks.
Sheep cannot lead lions, nor can they produce elite soldiers.
In the end, you will either be unable to fight and be captured by the Wubao, or you will be able to recruit strong troops for reinforcements, but you may be captured by the Magpie Nest Dove.
In this world at the end of the Jin Dynasty, the weak do not deserve to live.
Shao Xun and Du Yin just looked at each other, and the atmosphere became a little subtle.
"Oh, why is it like this? Why is it like this!" Mi Huang seemed to have just discovered something was wrong between Shao Xun and Du Yin. He quickly came over and stood between the two of them, shook his head and said with a smile: "What a big deal. Isn't it? How about meeting the heroes of Yiyang? Shifu, you are famous in the countryside and are familiar with people. How about you inform the Wubao commanders of each family and ask them to come to Yiquanwu to meet? I have been in Luoyang for several years and I have been diligent and conscientious in my work. , he is not a greedy and violent person, as you can tell after a little inquiry. The country is in a difficult situation now, the expenditure is huge, and there are many ways to use money. I am just asking for some money and food to support the country. How can it hurt you? "
Du Yin was already mentally prepared to pay, but when he heard what Mi Huang said, he got off the donkey and sighed: "The Lord is indeed a sincere gentleman. Forget it, I will send people to every dock wall to pass through it." pass."
"If there were more people like Shifu in the world, there would be hope for the revival of the Jin Dynasty." Mi Huang praised.
grass! Shao Xun couldn't help but take another look at Lao Mi. When did he learn what Wang Yan said?
After the conversation started, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
After a while, the gate of Yiquanwu opened, and Du Dan personally sent a batch of pigs, sheep, wine and meat out to work for the army.
Both sides talked and laughed, as if all the previous unhappiness had disappeared.
Shao Xun took the time to call Chen Yougen over and ordered in a low voice: "Huang Biao and Gao Yi will select three hundred generals in a while. You can lead the training team to join them and bring all those who can ride. Tonight Go to Kinmen Mountain and pick out a bandit camp on the mountain."
"No." Chen Yougen agreed immediately.
"Why don't you ask how many people are on the mountain?" Shao Xun laughed and cursed.
"It's just that it killed hundreds of people."
"About two hundred." Shao Xun said: "If the sneak attack fails, don't force it. I will lead the army and leave in a few days."
"General Ding Bu Lao will come in person." Chen Yougen said with a smile.
"Okay, let's just wait for the good news." Shao Xun patted Chen Yougen on the shoulder and said, "I'm not greedy. Just build two or three forts in Yiyang."
According to the guide's information, there are more than a dozen large and small bandit villages in the Luoshui area, among which three have the most suitable conditions for building docks.
Yunzhongwu has been captured.
Jinmen Village is located on Jinmen Mountain near Dayuan Village, Chenwu Township, Luoning County, forty miles southwest of Yunzhongwu.
In addition to these two places, there is Tanshan Village, which is located on Longtou Mountain to the west of Houwan Village, Changshui Town, Luoning County and on the north bank of Luohe River. There are not many people. Even if a small group of elites cannot defeat them, they can easily defeat them once the large army arrives. capture. After all, this is just a bandit village, not a Wubao.
Tanshan, Kinmen, and Yunzhong Sanwu Forts are lined up along the Luoshui River from southwest to northeast, and are about forty miles apart from each other. They are very suitable for farming and military training.
Shao Xun was grateful that the world was not in chaos yet.
After the Yongjia Rebellion, most of these bandit strongholds will be captured, expanded and transformed into stronger fortresses, where refugees can be gathered to farm and fight.
And if you wait until the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the number of Wubao increased dramatically, and fortresses were built in almost every corner - "Book of Jin Fu Jian Records" mentioned that "more than 3,000 Wubao in the Sanfu area of Guanzhong" ...We will lead the alliance and send troops and food to support the enemy."
When I traveled to that time, I really felt like crying without tears.
There are more than 3,000 forts in the Sanfu area alone, and the density is so high that people may lose contact as soon as they appear on the scene, and if they look back, they will be slaves in the forts.
After Chen Yougen left, nothing happened all night.
Early the next morning, he came back covered in blood, with several heads hanging under the saddle.
After some reporting, Shao Xun learned that the bandit camp had been captured, and that the raid generals and the teaching team had killed more than forty brothers in total, and more than ten of them had died and been injured while walking on the mountain road at night.
He did not delay and immediately asked Lu Heigou to lead three teams of silver spear soldiers to Jinmen Village to replace the remaining generals.
It started very well, very well.
