On this day, there were killing sounds and thick smoke billowing inside and outside Guzang City, as if it was the end of the world.
The situation was so chaotic that even the instigators were frightened. The Hu people went crazy, and the Han people immediately picked up their swords and guns to defend themselves.
Various rebellions broke out among the garrison in the city. The Qiang people, who had been preparing for the attack for a long time, rose up in rebellion under the leadership of their leaders, raped (to prevent harmony), raped, looted, killed, and set fire to all kinds of things.
If it hadn't happened in advance, in a hurry, without much preparation, with the momentum of the Qiang people, combined with the Tuyuhun, Turks and other tribes, and with the support of Xie Tongshi and others, no one would be able to control it.
This is actually a miniature version of Five Random Things...
…………………………
Tufa Li was originally one of the Qiang chiefs in Guzang City. When the city was in chaos, he gathered more than a hundred of his confidants and became agitated.
He was relatively smart, and did not tangle too much with other people, nor did he lead his people to plunder and harvest spoils according to the habits of the Qiang people. Instead, he followed the strategy roughly made by the previous big leader and led his people to rush towards
The nearest barracks.
There had been chaos in the barracks for a long time. As rumors spread, more than a thousand soldiers in the camp formed a confrontation. Under the leadership of the officers, they yelled and cursed, and then merged together.
When the Tufa Liyuan leader arrived, there were only more than fifty people left with him. The Qiang people rarely received military training, and the shortcomings of lack of cohesion were obvious.
There is no doubt that the Qiang people in Guzang City were under siege on this day. Whether they were Han people or other ethnic groups in the northwest, after experiencing the Bai Yusuo Rebellion, coupled with the news that the prince was assassinated and the Qiang people wanted to massacre the city, they
Due to the influence of Qiang people, no one wants to stand with the Qiang people, or stretch their necks to wait for the Qiang people to raise the butcher knife.
There are more than a thousand soldiers in the barracks. They are under the jurisdiction of the Xiaowei Mansion. Their duty is to guard the far gate of Guzang Town in turns. They are led by a Wei Mansion general and there are two school lieutenants among them.
According to An Xiuren's plan, the Wei general who had led the army had already been sent out of the city, and the two captains had also been replaced by Qiang generals. It can be seen that the Qiang people's power is not an empty talk.
If things proceed according to the established track and An Xiuren is fully prepared, then when chaos breaks out, the soldiers in this barracks should seize the Zhenyuan Gate as soon as possible and be ready to block the resistance from the south of the city at Zhenyuan.
under the door.
In the opinion of the An brothers, this mutiny will go very smoothly. Many people in Guzang City will be frightened at the first time and will not dare to participate in it casually. When they, together with Xie Tongshi and others, take control of the palace, various ministries, offices, and warehouses,
Now that the overall situation has been decided, those who are hostile will be dealt with one by one.
They put in a lot of effort, and they did win over many people through the account department, but when the sudden change came, all the preparations seemed too weak, and the confidence they showed was more like a joke.
There were more than a thousand people in the barracks. Except for some deserters who were more afraid of death and turned around and ran away, the others did not step out of the barracks and were fighting in one place.
The two Qiang lieutenants could not control the situation at all. They had long been satisfied with the abundant food and grass of the Qiang people, and gradually became superior to others in everything. They also arbitrarily placed cronies, excluded dissidents and other behaviors. Han soldiers, who were deeply dissatisfied, were led by low-level officers.
, first occupied the stables, struggled with the Qiang people for a while, and then most of them mounted their war horses, completely turning the rather narrow military camp into a battlefield.
Bald Liyuan stared at all this with his mouth open. The soldiers on war horses trampled the Qiang people to the ground row by row. The Qiang people also responded with anger. Arrows were scurrying around the camp like locusts, knocking out a person.
A cavalryman was shot off his horse.
Bodies were lying everywhere, blood was everywhere, the chaos was complete, the screams were loud, the living people were fighting in one place like crazy, spraying out puffs of hot blood worthlessly, it was as terrifying as the roar of a camp
scene.
Bald-faced Liyuan led the people in a circle around the entrance of the camp, abandoned more than twenty hot-headed fools who rushed into the camp intending to help his fellow tribesmen win, turned around and ran away.
He didn't want to die here because he was confused. He wanted to take people to the Ministry of Household Affairs to find the big leader.
In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, the Qiang people, especially at this moment, are classified as a whole. Only outsiders like Fan Wenjin will treat the Qiang people separately.
The Qiang people are said to be descendants of the Yellow Emperor and have always maintained their nomadic habits. As a result, they gradually distanced themselves from the civilization of the Central Plains. By the Han Dynasty, they were completely regarded as barbarians, and they were all foreigners like the Xiongnu and Turks.
Therefore, the Qiang people are a collection of tribes and are not monolithic. This is one of the most distinctive features of the primitive tribal system.
Just like Tufa Liyuan, he and the Qiang people in the camp belong to different tribes. When An Xiuren becomes the leader of the Qiang people, they will gather around An Xiuren and fight for him.
But once An Xiuren is gone, it will be a different scene. No one will shed their blood for other tribes unless there is sufficient reward.
In fact, the Qiang people without a leader are just a piece of scattered sand. Fan Wenjin saw this, so there is a saying that the Hu people are difficult to control. This does not only mean that the Hu people are undisciplined and difficult to control, but also means that it is difficult for them to interact with each other.
Collaboration, once there is a disturbance that goes beyond their plans, the Qiang people are likely to start chaos themselves.
At this time, the entire Guzang City was in chaos, and hatred spread rapidly in this ancient city, expanding its body and involving everyone, unable to escape.
The tough folk customs in the northwest also played a role in fueling the flames. Anyone who could wield a knife would not sit still and wait for death. Blood began to flow in a large area in the city. Innocent people were struggling, and those who were prepared were equally unsatisfied.
Feel good.
When Tufa Liyuan led his people to run to the Ministry of Household Affairs, gathering Qiang people along the way, and constantly fighting with various people, Fan Wenjin had to lead his people to leave the Prince's Mansion.
Li Boyu died, and even before he died, many people shouted slogans to avenge the prince. Even Fan Wenjin, a participant, felt a bit ridiculous and frightened at this time.
Fan Wenjin also didn't expect that the people in the northwest didn't seem to take their own lives seriously at all. They were so impatient that it was terrifying, as if everyone was waiting to go on a killing spree to vent their violent emotions.
It even spread to his followers. After a scene was performed and the Qiang people who invaded the prince's mansion were "repelled", Fan Wenjin wanted to take a breath and take a look at the situation.
The guards and generals of the Prince's Mansion rushed out of the Prince's Mansion in a swarm. No one knew what they were doing. The soldiers in Jin Dynasty also began to shout, why don't they go grab some war horses and come back? As long as they get on the war horses, who cares?
Damn it, you can still be our opponent...
The self-confidence of the Daizhou cavalry was immediately ravaged by Fan Wenjin. He once again "tactfully" told everyone that saving the life of the envoy was the top priority, rather than going out to show off his power and show the strength of Daizhou's soldiers.
However, people gave him a heads up and immediately took them to the stables of the Prince's Mansion, hoping to get the horses of himself and others out first.
But the so-called wise man will always make mistakes. This is obviously an afterthought. The stables are empty and have been looted long ago.
The cavalry turned into infantry, which made many subordinates very dissatisfied. They felt that the northwest people were very unauthentic, and they did not come to tell anyone about the horses they stole from guests...
Of course, what Daizhou soldiers are most proud of is not their horses, bows, arrows, swords and guns, but their obedience. After many years under Li Po's command, from generals to soldiers, almost no one will deliberately accuse Shangguan of his miscalculation.
There are also clear regulations that military officers must obey the orders of their superiors, and disobeying military orders has become one of the most important crimes in the military.
Of course, this is actually one of the iconic features of the Central Plains military, but it is only enforced more strictly under Li Po.
Just like Tufa Liyuan lost a lot of people after walking around outside, and the number of combat personnel was reduced by more than half, but even Tufa Liyuan himself did not find it strange. If this happened in the army under Li Po's command,
That would be a very incredible thing.
But now, the situation is dangerous, as evidenced by the fact that there are not many followers around Fan Wenjin missing, and no one is mumbling or complaining.
Fan Wenjin led the people around the Prince's Mansion like a wandering spirit. At this time, the Prince's Mansion had gradually become quiet. Some servants escaped immediately, and some were robbing property.
The back house of the Prince's Mansion is a bit more chaotic. There is always a shortage of bold people. The place is filled with the cries of women, which sounds very miserable.
Fan Wenjin and his men walked here recklessly and did not find any important people such as the princess, but they killed many villains along the way.
Of course, there are still gains. Several Hu Ji, led by an "acquaintance" of Fan Wenjin, joined the team, which made the battalion leader who led the escort almost get angry. How long has it been before, and they can still have a good spirit?
?
He didn't know that Fan Wenjin had long-term plans. The beauties in the prince's residence were all good at singing and dancing, and their appearance and figure were naturally good. They also had exotic amorous feelings. If they could be brought back to Jin...
Well, obviously he doesn't know how powerful the tigress in the Han Palace is.
The acquaintance among Hu Ji was naturally the woman who had given him King Wu'an's letter. There was no need to distinguish between friend and foe this time.
Originally, Fan Wenjin felt that the Prince's Mansion was a good hiding place. Not to mention that it was big enough. Once Prince Li Boyu died, the Prince's Mansion would not fall into the eyes of those big shots. He waited until the chaos calmed down a little and looked at the situation before deciding whether to escape.
Go out of the city, or stay in the city.
It's a helpless choice, as the saying goes, when chaos occurs, the role of strategy is not so important, and swords and guns take over everything.
But he obviously underestimated the greed of some people. Shi Le, the big leader of Tuyuhun, also took a fancy to this place...
