King Yong, who is currently assisting the old man in dealing with trade matters, once went to the Ministry of Personnel to select officials who knew how to calculate wisely. It happened that the official department was holding Huang Qiong's handwriting and was handling the transfer matter for this guy. At this time, he was transferred out of Shaanxi and transferred to Henan Road. Although I don't know this guy, I don't know where he offended Huang Qiong. But it is certain that my ninth brother does not want to see this person.
On a whim, King Yong came up with this idea after bickering with the Minister of Civil Affairs for a while. When Deputy Ambassador Liao was about to arrive in the capital, he kicked him directly to Qianzhong Road. In order to get this guy to take the bait, King Yong specially arranged for this guy to concurrently serve as the Tea Horse Salt Road, which is known as the most lucrative position on Qianzhong Road. Of course, it was impossible to really give him this lucrative position.
That hole is only used for fishing. As a result, Huang Qiong didn't know it yet. I still don’t know that this guy is related to the five women Huang Qiong sent to him, Yong Wang. Through a series of behind-the-scenes operations, this guy was directly kicked. It has always been said that the sky is never sunny, the ground is not three feet flat, people have no money, they are so poor that they are full of scum, and they are plagued by epidemics.
There are venomous snakes and beasts everywhere, and the Yi people occupying the mountains and forests far outnumber the Han people on the Qianzhong Road. As a result, King Yong, who only cared about venting his anger for Huang Qiong at that time, did not expect that his operation would actually help this guy. Let this guy cultivate himself on Qianzhong Road and not be affected by any disturbances in the court. He lived peacefully until he was eighty years old.
I don’t know if the feng shui of Qianzhong Road is particularly suitable for him to have a son. After he arrived at Qianzhong Road, those Yi women, plus several Han concubines he adopted, gave birth to a total of nine sons for him. What's even more rare is that all of his nine sons survived and grew up, and none of them died in infancy. It actually solved the problem of inheriting the family's incense after the death of his only son.
Although his life was relatively comfortable, he never saw his ex-wife, daughter, and ex-daughter-in-law again. Little did he know that a year later, his ex-wife, who was already over 40 years old, and his ex-daughter-in-law gave birth to a son and a daughter to Huang Qiong at almost the same time. Although he refused to enter the palace because of his old age, he was still very favored by the King of England.
Of course, at least for now, Huang Qiong, who is currently supervising the battle in Qingyang, still doesn't know about the fact that this old man has been demoted all the way to Qianzhong Road, which has always been regarded as a place of exile by officials from the DPRK and China. The military situation was urgent, Huang Qiong left Chang'an, and with He Yuanfeng and 10,000 cavalry, they rushed all the way to Qingyang. However, just as the army entered Ningzhou, Huang Qiong received the battle report from Qingyang Mansion.
Just seven days ago, the Xijing Camp had rescued 5,000 cavalry from Qingyang Prefecture. Under the command of Feng Zhoushan, the commander of the former military capital of Xijing Camp, they took advantage of the darkness to raid the 30,000 rebels who besieged Qingyang Mansion. At the same time, Du She, the deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu who retreated to Qingyang, also commanded the defenders to fight out of the city after the reinforcements arrived. After a hard fight for most of the night, the two armies defeated the 30,000 rebels who besieged Qingyang Mansion in one fell swoop.
The general who commanded the army was captured and killed. The leader of the party Xiang Zheluo was Zheluo Yu and his younger brother Zheluo begged for burial. He pursued the defeated army all the way to Huanzhou and captured more than 17,000 rebels. Among them, there were more than 70 party leaders and Tibetan officials who participated in the rebellion. They seized more than 10,000 cattle and sheep, 3,000 war horses, and rescued more than 500 plundered Han women. Now Feng Zhoushan commands five thousand troops and horses and has entered Huanzhou.
Confronted with the 20,000 reinforcements led by the party rebel Tuoba Daxin. However, Feng Zhoushan also reported in the victory report that although the generals of the rebels who besieged Qingyang were mainly from the Party, the majority of the soldiers were Han Chinese who had been coerced into the rebel army. There are only more than 7,000 party members, and they are all cavalry. Judging from the interrogation, most of the Han people in the rebels did not really want to join the rebels.
Although most people are very resentful of the imperial court's ineffective disaster relief last year, except for a very small number of people, most people were forced or directly coerced to join under the threat of extermination. Moreover, after Tuoba Jiqian took control of the entire Ningxia Prefecture, he treated the Han people there extremely cruelly. After he launched the rebellion, he not only required the Han people to shave their heads and change clothes like the Dangxiang people.
Moreover, women who were married to Han people, including a considerable number of Han women, were all snatched away from their husbands and redistributed to party members. In terms of food distribution, the Han people were also treated with extreme deprivation. The Dangxiang people had sufficient food supplies, but the Han people were starved of food. Even though they were in the same military camp, the Dangxiang people had cattle, sheep and wheat cakes to eat, but the Han army couldn't even eat gruel.
If the Han people in Ningxia Prefecture did not want to be forced to be slaves to the party after Ningxia Prefecture was controlled by the rebels, they had to bring their own armor, horses, and weapons to join the rebel army. Moreover, Tuoba Jiqian especially hated scholars among the Han people. Once all the scholars were captured by him, especially those who had gained fame and fame, they would all be executed together with the men in their families, regardless of age and age. No one would be spared.
And before being executed, they had to suffer humiliation and torture. His wife and daughter were even assigned to slaves as slaves, and their lives were worse than death. As for the officials of the imperial court, their fate would be even worse once they fell into the hands of party members. When Huanzhou was occupied by the rebels, Zhizhou, which had no soldiers except fifty regiments, surrendered voluntarily. But after surrendering, he was immediately executed alive by Ling Chi.
While being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts, he was forced to watch as his wife and daughter were taken turns to be raped to death by the party members. The reason Tuoba Jiqian treated the Han scholars so cruelly was because he had a Han scholar beside him who defected to him at the beginning of the year. That person heard that because of a trivial matter, he offended the big shots in the capital. He was stripped of his fame and was driven out of the capital.
Feeling jealous of those who are famous. In addition, after the family was once a criminal, both parents died at the hands of the prince. Therefore, he has great hatred towards officials and people with high status. Then he encouraged Tuoba to move to the country and do such a thing. In addition, Tuoba was also full of hatred for Han scholars when he moved to Han Dynasty. He believed that none of the scholars in the Han Dynasty were good people, and they were all people who gave bad ideas to the court.
That's why they treated Han scholars who fell into their hands so cruelly, especially those with high status and officials. That person had stayed in Longyou for several years and was extremely familiar with the situation in Longyou, and he was also very cunning. After joining Tuoba Jiqian, he gave Tuoba Jiqian a lot of ideas. During Tuoba Jiqian's uprising, the reason why he accomplished the surprise attack almost perfectly was all because of this person's idea.
Although this person was a Han, after the successful rebellion, Tuoba Jiqian did not trust this person generally, and even obeyed him on many things. Although that man was young, he was ruthless. Many of Tuoba Jiqian's strategies were all made by him. This person has even replaced Zhang Fu at Tuoba Jiqian's place, who was most valued by Tuoba Jiqian in the past but was now sent to Beiliao for help.
It was that person's idea to attack Qingyang Mansion first to seize the food in the city and solve the food shortage in Ningxia Mansion, and then to think about other things. He offended a big boss in the capital and was stripped of his fame. Both parents died at the hands of the prince. Why does this person's experience look so familiar? Although the name didn't match, he remembered the person who was kicked out of his house at the beginning of the year after his affair with his concubine was discovered.
It's just that this suspicion only existed in his mind for a moment, and was immediately ignored by Huang Qiong. He thought he knew Song Gongliang very well, but he did not believe that Song Gongliang had such ability. I don't even believe that this guy who has no responsibility at all can have the courage to do such a cruel thing. Thinking of this, he smiled to himself, he was really a little bit weak.
Putting aside this unfounded idea, Huang Qiong picked up the battle report and read it again. At the end of the battle report, Feng Zhoushan mentioned that Huanzhou and Tongyuan County under his control had been plundered by the rebels, and there were hundreds of miles around them uninhabited. After he entered Huanzhou, the supply of food and grass was extremely difficult. The current confrontation with the rebels relies entirely on the rebel supplies captured by Qingyang Mansion, and there are very few of these supplies left.
This battle report was extremely timely for Huang Qiong, who was eager to understand the internal situation of the rebels. In order to reunite with Feng Zhoushan as soon as possible and learn more about the internal situation of the rebels. Huang Qiong left He Yuanfeng behind to lead the army, while he led a thousand cavalry to Huanzhou. Huang Qiong didn't even take a step into Qingyang Mansion, which was already very close.
He just wrote a handwriting ordering the prefect of Qingyang to immediately raise food and deliver it to Feng Zhoushan. At the same time, Zheng Daoyuan was ordered to rush from Shaanxi to Qingyang Mansion immediately to take charge of grain and grass transportation. Huang Qiong, who was rushing to Huanzhou to join Feng Zhoushan, didn't know. When he hurried to Huanzhou with a thousand cavalry, a sudden danger was quietly approaching him.
Under the Qingyang Mansion City, although Feng Zhoushan defeated the strong with the weak, he fought with Du She inside and outside the city and defeated the 30,000 rebels outside Qingyang Mansion. But he only had 5,000 cavalry on hand, and left another 1,000 before the pursuit, and handed them over to Du She, who was left behind to guard Qingyang Mansion, to strengthen Qingyang Mansion, which had only a thousand defenders left. Feng Zhoushan, who only had 4,000 men in his hands, was exhausted before he could regain Huanzhou.
In addition, there are still 20,000 Dangxiang rebels on the other side of the Gan River outside Huanzhou City. At present, Feng Zhoushan's limited military strength has been used to the extreme. There is simply no way to fill the current wide gap between Qingyang Prefecture and Guyuan Prefecture, which belongs to Pingliang Prefecture. Although Pingliang Prefecture now has 2,000 guards, together with the original 800 guards, they are stationed in Guyuan Prefecture and Pingliang Prefecture respectively.
But these guards, with a strength of three thousand, only huddled in Guyuan Prefecture and Pingliang City during the month-long siege of Qingyang Mansion. Even though there were only a small number of rebels on horseback, they did not dare to leave the city even half a step, allowing the rebels to burn, kill and loot outside the city. The guards at Pingliang remained motionless, but Feng Zhoushan, who only had four thousand troops and horses in his hands, was extremely anxious in the face of this huge gap.
But there is no way to deploy a single soldier to fill this gap. Even the grain road behind him could not spare any troops to protect it. In addition to urging them three times a day and having the army behind them arrive as soon as possible, they also kept urging for food and fodder. At this time, the gap between Huanzhou and Guyuan Prefecture became a huge threat to Huanzhou and even the Qingyang Mansion behind it.
And now the news that Huang Qiong has been appointed as the ambassador of Longyou and Shaanxi Second Road was announced to the world by the Ming Dynasty. So it's not a secret to the rebels. It can even be said that the news that Huang Qiong personally led the army to Qingyang for reinforcements at night and under the stars is not necessarily a secret. Although Tuoba Jiqian retreated to Ningxia Mansion to train the army, he sent a large number of spies everywhere to spy on the military situation.
Although it may not have been found out, Huang Qiong left the brigade and personally led a thousand cavalry to Huanzhou. But Tuoba Jiqian was not ordinary annoyed about Huanzhou's gain and loss. Huanzhou is the only way for Ningxia Prefecture to enter Qingyang Prefecture. If the imperial court regains Huanzhou, it will block the rebels and once again penetrate the road to Qingyang Prefecture. If the rebels want to attack Longyou, they can only go to Pingliang Mansion in the west.
