Chapter 721 Rebellion
Yang Zheng never thought that someone would dare to cause trouble under his nose, "What's going on?"
After the founding of the Qin Dynasty, Yang Zheng put away his butcher knife and valued peace. Most of the prisoners were only flogged and exiled.
Beheading was rarely used.
"Jiehu, the Moxi Xianbei couldn't stand being driven every day. Five thousand people suddenly rebelled and attacked the guarding Chinese army. The Chinese army was caught off guard and many weapons and horses were taken away. The thieves also kidnapped other slaves who were building the new capital.
Gather 30,000 people, known as the 100,000-strong army, to attack Zheng County!" Zhao Aqi wiped his cold sweat out of habit.
Yang Zheng was annoyed when something like this happened at a critical moment.
But he soon calmed down.
"How are five thousand prisoners connected in series? Jin Yiwei Xuanyi Lang didn't get the slightest clue?" Yang Zheng spoke calmly.
But the gentler it is, the more frightening it is.
With two "pops", Zhao Aqi and Pang Qing knelt down at the same time, "Your Majesty, you will be punished!"
Zhao Aqi is a little less capable, while Pang Qing has spent his thoughts elsewhere in the past two years.
However, in the past month or so, in order to prepare for the first attack on the Central Plains and supervise the slaves, Xuan Yilang and Jin Yiwei have been transferred in large numbers to take charge of other matters.
This is also an objective factor in the successful rebellion of slaves.
In addition, not all races and ethnic groups can be as hard-working and uncomplaining as the Han people.
Especially the Jie people are unruly and ferocious.
Even if there is no wind, I can't wait to set off a three-foot wave.
Yang Zheng said nothing, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to be frozen.
Five thousand prisoners is not a small number, and judging from their actions after the rebellion, the thieves were by no means acting on a whim, but were organized and premeditated.
Know how to avoid reality and attack virtuality.
There is Chang'an to the east of the new capital and Lantian to the west, where Zhang Te's 20,000 soldiers are stationed.
Instead, the thieves headed north to attack Zheng County, which was weak in military strength.
You must know that many Jiehu and Xianbei slaves did not understand Chinese and did not know the geographical location. The fact that they could attack Zheng County so accurately shows that they had "masters" to guide them.
Furthermore, although they were slaves, Yang Zheng did not push him to death. He worked at sunrise and rested at sunset every day. They had enough food and allowed them to rest for one day every ten days.
If this is unbearable, it only means that these people have a bone in the back of their heads.
"We will discuss the matter of condemnation later. First, find out the people involved in the rebellion." Yang Zheng's voice was still calm, "Send the order and let Wen Yang and Ma Xun lead the troops to quell the rebellion. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy."
"Wei." The two of them felt like they had been granted amnesty.
"It's quite strange that the rebellion happened at this time." Wei Guan's eyes flashed.
Yang Zheng glanced at the people around him, Lu Zhi, Du Yu, Suo Jing, Liu Heng, as well as Meng Gui, Zhang Te, and Meng Guan who were guarding one side. These people should not be able to. If it were them, the rebellion would not be possible.
This is the scale.
They don't have this motive either.
However, it is not difficult to guess who it is.
This is not a detective story, it requires evidence, just reasonable speculation.
But Yang Zheng was more interested in how he provoked the slaves to rebel, "Bo Yu said that this person was cooperating with Sima Yan?"
"That's right." Judging from Wei Guan's expression, he should have known who it was.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. There are two thousand troops in Zheng County. The city is strong and we are deliberately prepared to guard against the enemy. The rebellion will be over in ten days." Du Yu consoled him.
"I remember that the guard of Zheng County seems to be Lu Fan?" Yang Zheng asked.
Wang Ji attacked Guanzhong, using Pang Hui, Lu Fan, Xu Yi and others as generals. Wang Ji was defeated and died, Lu Fan was captured, and Pang Hui and Xu Yi surrendered.
But their families are all in Luoyang.
Sima Zhao did not kill their family members, which also caused them to be absent-minded in Qin.
Especially Pang Hui, who had flirted with Xizuo from the Sima family before.
Yang Zheng just didn't expose it.
"That's exactly the person!" Wei Guan nodded.
"If we go down to Zheng County, the enemy has a stronghold. If we hold on for a month or two, Sima Yan's army will arrive!" Yang Zheng said in a deep voice.
And things seem to be taking a turn for the worst.
Zheng County is located in the heart of the center of concern.
At this moment, Zheng County is under siege.
But slaves are slaves after all, and neither the Jiehu nor the Xianbei people are very good at attacking cities.
In the city, Lu Fan was reading a secret letter.
The secret letter was unsigned and the handwriting was deliberately disguised, but he knew who wrote it.
As long as he opens the city gate, he will be the governor of Yongzhou, General Zhenxi, and Marquis Zheng of Jin!
When Wang Ji was defeated, Lu Fan did not agree with Pang Hui's surrender.
With 20,000 elite troops, even if they cannot break through, the Qin army can still suffer heavy losses.
But at that time, Pang Hui was on both sides of the fence and was trapped in Lishan Mountain, and finally chose to surrender.
Lu Fan also surrendered to Qin.
After so many years, Lu Fan gradually adapted to Qin.
"General!" his confidant Chun Yugong reminded softly.
To open the city or not?
If it doesn’t open, the family members left in Luoyang are afraid...
If it happens, it is also a certain death situation. Before Luoyang sends troops, the Qin army will definitely attack Zheng County, and my wife in Chang'an will probably suffer disaster.
In troubled times, people cannot help themselves.
"Open the city gate!" Lu Fan stood up suddenly and shouted.
"General..." Everyone around him was disappointed.
The city gate of Zheng County slowly opened, and the rebel army cheered...
In less than a day, Zhao Aqi and Pang Qing followed the clues and found Pang Hui...
Yang Zheng shook his head. He treated him well. Although he did not give him military power, he still offered him up. Unexpectedly, this guy still wanted to commit suicide.
"Although Pang Hui has been sidelined, he has won over many old friends over the years, including three captains who guarded slaves!" Pang Qing said with a cupped hand.
This is actually normal.
In this era, there was a personal dependence relationship between superiors and subordinates.
Yang Zheng was once a member of the Cao family, and was marked as a "slave of the Cao family" throughout his life.
Regardless of whether Yang Zhengcheng admits it or not, others will see it this way.
"Xu Yi, are Lu Fan involved?" Yang Zheng is most concerned about Zheng County now.
Pang Qingdao: "Xu Yi claimed to be ill at home two months ago and voluntarily resigned from all positions. He should not have been involved. Lu Fan... is still under investigation."
"Pang Hui..." Yang Zheng tapped his finger on the table.
Killing him is like killing a dog.
But we have to consider the influence in the army. Many people in the Chinese Army and Fu soldiers were former Yongliang Army and Luoyang Army...
It would be easy to kill Pang, but others would inevitably feel uneasy.
Especially now when a war is about to begin.
Yang Zheng had to be more cautious, "Don't make any announcement about this in advance, send extra manpower to keep an eye on Pang Hui, and dig out all the people in Pang Hui."
"Wei." The two of them held their hands at the same time.
"It is my decree that all senior generals, except Lu Gong and Suo Jing, will accompany me on the expedition this time." Yang Zheng rubbed his forehead, and suddenly a plan came into his mind. Since Xi Zuo's identity has been exposed, it has the value of being used.
.
The only thing I'm worried about now is Zheng County.
If Lu Fan is also involved, this rebellion will be somewhat troublesome.
But it is just a trouble, it is just a Zheng County. Even if Lu Fan is willing, will his soldiers, Xuan Yilang, agree to rebel?
As Yang Zheng expected, the news from Zheng County came back in the afternoon.
Before the armies of Wen Yang and Ma Xun arrived at Zheng County, the rebellion was put down.
When Lufan opened the city, the rebels swarmed in.
Lu Fan hosted a banquet and killed all the rebel leaders during the banquet.
The rebels were a mob and leaderless, so they were suppressed by Lu Fan, who carried the leader's head, and all surrendered.
