Inside the pass, Zhou Xiao stirred up trouble, while in the Nanguan pass, Guan Wen raised his flag to rebel, and there was Zhou Tianfeng outside the pass.
Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in Zhizhou Mansion. For the first time in his history, Han You felt flustered, scared, and at a loss.
No one expected that things would develop to this extent. An anti-king of the Laizhou fiefdom took thousands of people and tossed them here and there like whack-a-mole. In the end, Guan Wen, whose whereabouts had been unknown, actually managed to They gathered at least 10,000 troops and raised the flag to rebel.
It was said to be 50,000, but in fact it was probably just over 10,000. This would have to be due to the betrayal of all members of the Zhechong Mansion and the Military Bei Mansion.
Even so, the possibility of this situation happening is very low. Under normal circumstances, people at the level of captain and captain are bribed, and then they fool the troops below.
Anyway, no matter how many people there are, the group of people led by Guan Wen are close to the southern pass. If Zhou Tianfeng leads a group of savages to knock on the pass, the border pass will also be attacked from both sides.
There was no need for Duan Qianfeng to guess, even a layman like Han You could see the true strategic intentions of this group of rogues.
The three giants of the rebellion were the rebel eldest prince Zhou Xiao, the slanderous general Guan Wen, and a rebel professional Zhou Tianfeng.
Zhou Xiao is inside the pass, Guan Wen is at the border pass, and Zhou Tianfeng is outside the pass.
Zhou Xiao is in the light, Guan Wen is in the dark, and Zhou Tianfeng is in the light and dark.
Let's talk about Zhou Xiao first. This idiot took the lead in raising the flag of rebellion and igniting the flames of war. He fought guerrillas in the pass, abandoned Yizhou, and pretended to attack Qiongzhou. In fact, he was seizing the grain depot of Zhi County.
As for Guan Wen, this old dog was lurking in several towns near the border. Once he learned that General Zhou Xiao's army had attracted his attention, he began to take action.
Finally, Zhou Tianfeng said that there was no trace of him yet, so he could basically conclude that this guy was outside the customs. He did not know how he was fooled by relying on the relationship between the Sikong family and the people outside the customs. If nothing else, he was already gathering. With military strength, they may lead people to knock on the gate at any time.
This was a long-planned and carefully planned rebellion that caught everyone off guard.
Zhou Xiao took advantage of the terrain and relied on a small group of elite cavalry to set fire everywhere, causing the people to panic.
After seizing Zhi County, we don’t know how much food we will take. Anyway, it will not be left for the army. Even if the court sends a large army, it will take a long time because it will take more time to prepare food and grass.
The one who really worked with Guan Wai Li Ying Wai He was Guan Wen, the old man, not Zhou Xiao.
Zhou Xiao's mission is to intercept the army sent by the imperial court as much as possible.
Now the chaos has become, spreading like wildfire. Once Guan Wen and Zhou Tianfeng capture Nanguan, the situation will be over. Nanguan will not be a difficulty for the Zhou Dynasty, but will become a Nanguan for barbarians and rebellious parties. , you can advance and attack, retreat and defend, the south will also become a place of four battles. If you make a bold guess, if the aliens outside the northern pass learn about this, they will probably take advantage of it and rob it.
By then, the entire country will be in complete chaos.
Han You got on the horse again, holding the horse's belly numbly, raising his whip numbly, and headed to Nanguan with 300 soldiers from Chongfu.
The rest is no longer important. Han You has no time to take care of Zhou Xiao, the bastard who caused everything. What he has to do now is to rush to Nanguan immediately to see if he can save some situations with Lao Ba's military talisman and imperial edict.
More than 300 horses were galloping. In order to ensure safety, Fu Yuxiang placed the Tanma ten miles away. Once a large-scale enemy force was discovered, Han You would withdraw to Qiongzhou.
No one knows how many chess pieces and troops the three rebel giants have hidden in the Southland. Han You can easily be killed anytime and anywhere.
At this juncture, Fu Yuxiang and others, even Lu Baichuan, felt that the most important thing was to protect Han You's safety. Only Han You, who represented the emperor, had the full power to command the other two armies.
The horses were galloping, and everyone's heart was covered with a shadow.
When Lao Ba rebelled, the reason why he marched in danger was because he was afraid of this kind of thing. The flames of war were as fierce as wildfires. Wildfires only burned one area, but the flames of war were in two, three, multiple, or countless places, even if they were separated. Wanli will also be lit.
Just like the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty in "Speaking of the Tang Dynasty", with eighteen groups rebelling against the king, sixty-four smoke and dust, there are too many ambitious people, and there are too many people who are unwilling to be lonely, and there are too many Too many people who think they are heroes always want to replace their bicycles with motorcycles.
The New Zhou Dynasty is not the end of Kang Dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty of this dynasty followed the Dakang Dynasty of the previous dynasty. There was no "big break", so there was no "big establishment". In the eyes of many people, only the name of the country changed, and many things did not change.
Traveling under starry night, Han You was already exhausted physically and mentally, and the riding crop in his hand kept whipping. This was the third time he walked on this official road, and the third time in nine days.
We must know that it will take at least five days to send military reports back from Liang County in Changyang, and it will also take two and a half to three days from Qiongzhou to Laizhou.
This means that Guan Wen's rebellion happened five days ago, and it is very likely that he has led his people to Nanbian Pass to cause trouble.
Just relying on more than 10,000 people, no, even if it is 50,000 people as they claim, it will not actually threaten the Southern Army. The scary thing is that these bastards will occupy the city everywhere, burn, kill and plunder, and then The food and fodder of the southern army were cut off, and too many people could not be mobilized at the border. Once foreigners came to the border, they would inevitably face enemies from both sides.
After a night's journey, until dawn, Han You's big hip was already aching, but even so, he still didn't order it to be repaired.
Everyone is in a hurry, so anxious that they want to spread their wings and fly to the border.
"Keep on speeding up!"
Han You turned around and shouted loudly, his voice hoarse.
"Master."
Wang Hai stretched out his hand: "Ride with the little one. You can hold the little one and close your eyes to meditate."
Han You shook his head. Riding together would slow down the horse's speed. If his speed slowed down, everyone else's speed would also slow down.
The rising sun continued to rise, hanging high above the colorful clouds. The hot sunlight shone on everyone's backs, and their armor was wet with sweat.
After galloping for almost an hour, a group of people came running toward them. There were more than ten people, most of whom were exploring horses that were waiting to hide in front of the fish.
Han You pulled the reins fiercely, his heart in his throat, it must be the "latest" news.
Judging from the current situation, all news should be bad, and there can be no good news.
When the scout horse galloped over, Han You's heart skipped a beat. He saw a few soldiers who had stayed with Pei Qi to guard Yizhou.
Sure enough, unexpected bad news appeared.
"General, Mr. Pei asked for help. The rebel army Guan Wen led 2,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry to attack Yizhou!"
"What?"
Han You's eyes blurred and he almost fainted. Everyone guessed wrong again. The old coffin Guan Wen did not harass the frontier troops at all, but came back to seize Yizhou!
Everyone yelled and cursed, but no monkey could act like this.
If Yizhou were a person or a girl, her face would definitely be filled with sadness.
This sad little daughter-in-law’s original husband was Zhou Xiao, but Zhou Xiao pulled up his pants and refused to admit it, patted his butt and left.
Just when the young daughter-in-law was about to stay alone in the empty boudoir, Han You came and was seduced by Zhou Xiao.
In the end, Han You ignored the little wife and went to arrest Zhou Xiao.
The little daughter-in-law continued to complain and complain, and then an old lady came up and knocked her down as soon as she came up.
Laizhou has a bad fate.
There are not many troops in Yizhou at all, they are all auxiliary troops. The people are already panicked, and Pei Qi is in charge, how can they hold it? The most disgusting thing is that there must be other tunnels leading to the city.
Even if it was less, Guan Wen had at least 10,000 men. When he arrived at the city to attack the city, he only had 7,000 men. So where did the rest go?
No need to think about it, it must be through tunnels. Tunnels that no one knows about entered the city without anyone noticing.
Han You's eyes were about to burst: "Take the Fen County official road on the right and go to Yizhou first. I hope I can speed up my horse in time."
Unexpectedly, after galloping for less than half an hour, several other soldiers came towards them, also from Yizhou.
Duan Qianfeng's old face turned pale: "Did Yizhou fall so quickly?"
"General, general, general, great victory."
The excited cheers came first before the soldiers who came galloping arrived.
"The siege of Yizhou has been lifted, and Mr. Pei has ordered Guan Wen to be captured into the city."
Han You almost rolled his eyes and fell off his horse, and the others' jaws were almost dislocated.
The soldiers who reported the news pulled the reins, their faces full of excitement.
"General, the traitor Guan Wen has been captured. Mr. Pei ordered me to report the news, and the siege of Yizhou has been lifted."
"I'm... you're... no, less than an hour ago..."
Han You was already speechless, and subconsciously pointed at the first group of soldiers who came to report the news: "They said that Guan Wen attacked Yizhou. In less than an hour between you, you said that you captured Guan Wen. This..."
Han You looked at Fu Yuxiang: "Are these two brats ours? Aren't they false military reports from the rebel army?"
"He's one of ours."
Fu Yuxiang nodded, and Feng Bai also nodded. They all knew these two boys.
Han You: "How is that possible?"
The two miscellaneous soldiers started to explain in a hurry.
"Mr. Pei was sitting in the government office and took the magistrate's official seal to change his Pei family tree..."
"Suddenly I heard that the rebel army was coming..."
"Mr. Pei quickly led the people to the top of the city, preparing to close down..."
"Unexpectedly, the rebel army led by Guan Wen suddenly started fighting, and they were fighting themselves..."
"They were divided into two groups and started fighting..."
Han You's eyes lit up: "So that's it, there's internal strife. One group of people doesn't want to rebel when they get there, and the other group is determined to rebel. Is that what it means? Those who don't want to rebel will kill the cadres who want to rebel, right?"
"This... is not entirely true. They were divided into two groups. One group wanted to arrest Guan Wen, and the other group wanted to kill Guan Wen on the spot. They started fighting for no reason. The one who wanted to arrest Guan Wen would be killed. The one who captured Guan Wen was beaten away, and finally he was captured and taken into the city."
Han You: "..."
A group of friends looked at each other in confusion. With such popularity, how could they rebel?
