No one wants to do nothing and then wait to accept failure.
Unless it's someone who wants to die.
So obviously these wealthy people of Zuo Fengyi don't want to die in vain or in black and white.
They believe that the reason why the Yanzhou Rebellion failed was because Zhang Miao hesitated at a critical moment, that is, when Lu Bu was attacked, and failed to rescue him in time, which ultimately led to failure.
They analyzed that the reason why Zang Hong was defeated was because Zang Hong only occupied one city and did not share the same views and exchanges with the Jizhou nobles. As a result, Zang Hong could not form a common momentum when he raised the flag, which ultimately led to failure.
Those who fail are lessons from the past.
So this time, they felt that, on the one hand, everyone was working together, and there were strong reinforcements from the Yang family and the Cao family from outside. In addition, Fei Qian was leading an army outside, and the three auxiliaries in Guanzhong were empty. How could they find a more suitable place than now?
A chance?
When food prices were high, Pang Tong's inaction and indifferent announcements and orders made these people think that Pang Tong had no control over them, which made them feel more confident.
At first it was just two vegetable leaves, but then no one cared about it, so I just took a piece of meat. Then I found that no one cared about it, so my heart became enlarged, my appetite became wider, and my hands became longer...
This time, they learned from the experiences and lessons of others in the previous two times. Not only did they prepare alliances and communications in advance, they even strengthened their ties with the Yang family and the Cao family. Naturally, the Yang family and the Cao family could not descend directly like soldiers from heaven.
Guanzhong Sanfu, but as long as they hold back Fei Qian, Pang Tong and others, and then return to the army faster than Fei Qian can.
The road from Funiu Mountain to Wuguan was bumpy. Even if General Fei Qian got the news, he would not be able to get there in three or two days if he wanted to return to the army. However, the road from Chenliu to Hangu was smooth!
The key is the Hangu Secret Road, which can pass through the army!
In this way, the key node is
Tongguan.
Linjin is also close to Tongguan.
Tongguan originally had an old city, but after several wars, it was destroyed and rebuilt, and then destroyed again. The most recent destruction was when the Yang family sent troops to attack Chang'an...
Therefore, Mr. Yang will definitely have a deep memory of this matter.
Then, in the thick darkness of night, there was a billowing stream of fire, heading towards Tongguan.
Thousands of people wearing armor or without armor, roaring and shouting, as frantic as if they were about to go crazy at the next moment, waving torches and weapons, surging towards Tongguan!
Zhao Qilang was also among them.
Wang Chang rushed to Linjin first, then took control of Linjin County, imprisoned the Linjin County magistrate, organized people to extinguish the flames in the city, and sealed the county seat at the same time. When Zhao Qilang arrived at the city, he could only look at the city gate helplessly.
retreat.
The Linjin plan failed, but fortunately there is still a PLANB called Tongguan...
And in the midst of this turbulent fire, at the front of the queue, there was a huge vehicle.
At first glance, this vehicle is specially built. It is wider and sturdier than ordinary vehicles. It is even larger than ordinary baggage trucks. In the middle of the vehicle, there is Yang Shuo with a stiff face. In Yang Shuo
The people standing around were not Yang Shuo's own guards, but people from Zuo Fengyi's wealthy family.
Yang Shuo swallowed silently and remained silent. He did not expect that he would be used as a living sign by these wealthy Zuofengyi!
Outside the car, there were people guarding the left and right sides, but they also made some gaps just right, allowing Yang Shuo's figure and the Yang family flag flying behind Yang Shuo to be seen from a distance.
.
This made Yang Shuo feel as uncomfortable as wearing four small shoes. Although the small shoes are not fatal, they are still uncomfortable no matter what, but he can't fall out...
In the eyes of outsiders, Yang Shuo is a big shot in the Yang family, but Yang Shuo himself knows that he is just a small door curtain that Yang Xiu hangs out. And the door curtain can have its own ideas and wants to be rolled up
Just roll it up, lie down if you want to? No, door curtains are used to attract eyes, no matter whether the eyes are kind, malicious, or unintentional and intentional...
Many people like Zhao Qilang and some people met him on the way. They took a look at the people with the surname Zuo Fengyi near the vehicle, and then turned around and came out, shouting something.
Following Yang's order and so on, it caused waves of cheers, but Yang Shuo couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
If things don't work out, I will definitely die...
Even if the matter is successful, I'm afraid it won't end well...
Although Yang Shuo didn't say a word, his ears were perked all the way. He listened to the four surnames surrounding the vehicle coming all the way. They threw out a few titles like a 618 sale.
These people who came halfway were as excited as if they had eaten four or five slices of West Africa. Their blood vessels were bulging, and they were waving their swords and guns excitedly, as if they wanted to find a hole and stab them in the next moment.
Yang Shuo can't say anything. After all, this is normal operation. In times of chaos, isn't it the most correct thing to promise some airdrops? Is it possible to tell the truth to these people and tell them one by one? But the problem is with these names.
They were all awarded in the name of the Yang family. Even before they reached Tongguan, there were already many more captains. If Tongguan was really captured, wouldn't even the titles of generals be thrown around?
?
But when you make trouble at night and do business with your head in the air, isn't that what you want?
Anyway, this is the only capital I have, so I risk it and slap it on the gambling table. If I succeed, I will make a huge profit. If I lose, I will just pay the "ben". What's more, if I really see a defeat, I can take advantage of the chaos to go wild.
As long as he doesn't get caught up or runs faster than others, he will be a good man again in a few years when the limelight is over!
Just like all kinds of leek farms, fresh and tender leeks always think that they are the smartest and can make a fortune. At worst, they will run away when the situation goes wrong. They are the brightest leeks in the village, and they will not be too lucky no matter what.
Is it bad? What if, what if I change from leeks to green onions?
The thing that Yang Shuo is most looking forward to now is the people of the Yang family who are hiding in Tongguan. Don't rush out to die just thinking that something big is about to happen...
Yes, there are people of the Yang family in Tongguan, not only in Tongguan, but also in Chang'an.
The night was falling, but the Huqi's mansion in Chang'an City was brightly lit, illuminating the nearby pavilions, pavilions, towers, and palace walls and squares as if they were daylight.
Wei Du stood in front of the gate of the inner courtyard of the government office with his powerful bodyguards of hussars. He was surrounded by fully armed soldiers, standing like iron towers. These soldiers did not look scary, just look at their bodies.
From the various battle marks on the armor's appearance, you can tell that they are veterans of many battles, and there is no telling how many people's blood they have soaked under their hands!
Ma Yan was in charge of the outside, and the Wei capital was on defense inside. The entire Hussar General's Mansion was made of iron, as stable as Mount Tai.
A scout cavalry galloped over in a hurry, and then flew down without waiting for the horse to slow down. Then he took a few steps to relieve his momentum. There was no need to worry about his horse. Anyway, there were people around him who would take care of them.
He went straight forward, rushing towards the gate.
The scouts had just arrived at the inner courtyard when Wei Du suddenly reached out and stopped him, "Are the rebels coming here?"
The scout's breath had not stabilized yet, and he did not speak. He just shook his head slightly.
"Hi..." Wei Du said angrily, "It's boring... just go in, Pang Lingjun is in the main hall..."
In the main hall were not only Pang Tong, but also Sima Yi.
During this period of time, Sima Yi did not do anything else, but did one thing, which was to clean up and screen out people from other forces lurking in Chang'an...
Open the windows and doors and welcome the caravans from all over the world, and naturally some mosquitoes and flies will fly in.
When you see one, you drop what you are doing and chase it everywhere. This is undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse and does not meet the cost requirements. However, cleaning it up every once in a while is the right thing to do. Even the most grassroots farmers and women among the people
We all know that at the end of the year, we need to do some general cleaning to welcome the New Year.
Although there is still some time before the New Year, it is not a big problem to do some general cleaning in advance.
On the map on the desk, there are many marked locations.
The city of Chang'an is very big, plus Lingyi on the bank of the Weishui River. Not to mention hundreds of people sneaking in, even if there are more than a thousand people, it will be like pouring a bucket of water into the river. It looks like a lot of water will fall down.
, but in fact it has no effect at all on the height of the river water surface.
But if it's blood and water, it's likely to contaminate the entire Chang'an.
This was originally a huge project, and it even troubled Pang Tong to a certain extent for a long time. After all, no one is born as a counter-espionage expert, with a photographic memory and the ability to read memories anytime, anywhere, but Pang Tong is still Pang Tong after all, and soon he will
Let him find a way to search.
That's money.
People will go crazy looking for money, but it is much easier to look for people with money.
Among the big men, the ones who can carry people around without easily arousing suspicion are the caravans.
I make two or three trips a year, and always keep some people here in Chang'an. Whether it's because I'm sick and can't leave, or I need people to stay in Chang'an for shopping, etc. Anyway, there are more excuses, and there are always more people.
Bring some people, take away the goods, and leave some people behind.
God is unaware of it, but the problem is that money can make things worse.
Living in Chang'an is not easy.
This is not just a sentiment that was expressed only in the Tang Dynasty.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation all cost money. Just talking about food, it can be said that the most abundant food for the Han Dynasty is in Chang'an. Those weird ideas of Qi Qi Fei Qian, there is always a cook who can turn them into reality, and then set off another trend.
There was a sudden trend, and these soldiers and spies lurking in Chang'an really didn't have any special training. It was already very good to be able to persist in not being drunk and dreaming every day.
Appetite is the hardest to control.
Especially for those who live in areas without much oil and water all year round, and now they can eat all kinds of meat in Chang'an, the desire for fat is as tempting as scratching the heart!
Then, it’s simple. Living in Chang’an, I don’t have much legitimate income all year round. In addition, although my status is not high, I have a lot of money from unknown sources to cover expenses, and I eat and drink well every day...
After a certain range was determined, and the Mohist disciples secretly followed and investigated, it was obvious that these people were like lice on the monk's head.
"Going to Tongguan?" Pang Tong received the scout's information and smiled, "These guys are really good at playing..."
"These people may have the intention to lure the tiger away from the mountain..." Sima Yi cupped his hands aside, "Your Majesty, there may be some in Tongguan... I don't know at the moment..."
Whether the attack on Tongguan can be sustained with such a huge momentum is another matter. It will definitely attract the attention of Wang Chang, who has just entered Linjin. It may even mobilize the defenders originally in Chang'an and Lingyi. When the time comes, the defenders will
As soon as he left, he would launch a rebellion. With Tongguan on one side and Chang'an on the other, Wang Chang, who had just taken control of Linjin, was in a dilemma and would inevitably lead to chaos.
And from another point of view, these people went to Tongguan in a ostentatious manner, which means that they definitely did not intend to die in Tongguan. There must be people in Tongguan like Chang'an who had ambushed them in advance.
Pang Tong waved his hands, with a somewhat cruel smile, and said: "What Zhongda said is true, but it's just that the poisonous tumors in Chang'an City are removed first..."
Pang Tong looked up at the sky, then squinted at the engraved glass placed aside, and said: "There is still more than an hour before dawn... How about Zhongda, can Zhongda get rid of its poison before dawn?"
Sima Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry! I will definitely come to pay the order at dawn!"
At this moment, above Tongguan and under the flag, Ma Yue stood tall, looking at the stream of fire sweeping in the distance, and sneered, "A bunch of beetles!"
People are social animals, so when there are many people, they always feel that they are braver, especially now when everyone is running and crowded together, countless torches are held high, and countless weapons are forward. Even facing Tongguan, I feel that
You can turn into a huge wave and submerge the reef in front of you!
At the beginning of the founding of the feudal dynasty, there was generally a pioneering atmosphere. However, as the outward expansion shrank, more and more people focused only on the ups and downs of internal officials and factions fighting against each other.
The vitality of the country was gradually lost due to internal strife. If there were a few more rash and unreasonable emperors, the entire ruling system would fall apart in the blink of an eye.
And once it breaks down, it's difficult to rebuild it...
Just like the current rebellion, it would have been unimaginable before Dong Zhuo. It's not that Dong Zhuo could have suppressed it with his brutality in Chang'an, but because no one had done so before, and along with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others
With the rise of mankind, princes all over the country have become independent one after another, which naturally makes people's hearts become impetuous. When drinking and thinking in private, they always feel that they can succeed if they change it.
Isn't it just a matter of raising your arms and shouting, and then leading people up?
Cao Cao took action and became a general.
Fei Qian manually charged once and now became a hussar.
So now if you try it yourself, what will you get?
Isn’t it just hand flushing...
What's so difficult?
The gate of Tongguan was closed, the suspension bridge hung high, and the flames of torches were flickering on the city wall, but not many people were illuminated by the light and shadow. Moreover, these people stood there blankly, as if they were shocked and overwhelmed.
Seeing such a situation, the people flowing under Tongguan became more and more bold and excited. No matter how excited they were, there was nothing they could do about the Tongguan city wall for a while.
The outer wall of Tongguan is three feet high. It is wrapped with stone strips on the outside and covered with green bricks, and is made of solid rammed earth on the inside. The thickness is also as much as ten feet.
Ma Yue was wearing black armor, his eyes slowly swept across the increasing number of rebels under the city, then he sneered twice and said loudly: "Chen soldiers who cause chaos will be punished by death! If you put down your swords and guns at this moment, everyone will return to their homes and wait to be captured."
, the person can be punished especially with the death penalty, so as not to implicate the clan!"
After Ma Yue finished speaking, the guards around Ma Yue also shouted loudly, which silenced the commotion in the city for a while.
But it didn’t take long before a louder noise broke out than before!
They were already approaching Tongguan, and there were even more captains and captains along the way. Seeing that the general was about to be captured, no one expected that Ma Yue, the guard of Tongguan, would say something so soft.
a few words!
If it's a threat, it's just to disband and go back. If it's a retreat, it's just about the clan!
Is this general guarding Tongguan a fool?
Therefore, some people simply shouted loudly: "The rebel Fei clan is poisoning the place! Now we have conquered Tongguan! We welcome the emperor to enter the pass! We are all heroes of the Han Dynasty! Create a legacy for eternity! Welcome the emperor! Kill the rebels!"
Then more voices gradually became more uniform, "Welcome the Emperor! Kill the traitors!"
Ma Yue raised his eyebrows, then pointed forward, "There is no mercy for the rebels, let's kill them!"
Dozens of soldiers suddenly appeared from behind the city walls and battlements. These people were basically under Ma Yue's direct subordinates, and they were all veterans who had followed Ma Yue in Yinshan for a long time. They drew their bows and arrows without saying a word.
, and fired randomly at the rebels who entered the shooting range below the city!
The arrows flew into the crowd, blood spattered everywhere, and screams were heard from the crowd. The rebels below the city who were so excited that they got carried away and entered the shooting range only saw the people around them who were still raising their arms a moment ago.
He shouted, and the next moment he saw an arrow shaft that was still trembling growing out of his chest and face. He fell heavily to the ground amidst the spurts of blood. He was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and turned over.
Then run away!
The ones standing in front moved back crazily, while those standing outside the shooting range did not know what was happening. Suddenly, you and I were swarming into a ball, trampling and beating each other, and the sound of screams and howls was heard.
Just because the name Duwei Xiaowei is called does not mean that they will immediately have the ability of Duwei Xiaowei. When a group of people gather together, they feel that they are inflated to no end. Tongguan is nothing.
It was also flattened. But when they really faced the long arrows shot from Tongguan, and watched the living lives around them disappear in the blink of an eye, the temperature of these people's fanatical heads finally dropped a little, and fear arose.
In an instant, the team was thrown into chaos, with countless people shouting at the top of their lungs. After they were out of range, they managed to calm down the chaos.
Looking back, I saw that under Tongguan, I don't know how many people were lying down in various directions. Some of them were still alive, bleeding and writhing on the ground, which made people's hair stand on end.
"Brother Yang!" The person standing behind Yang Shuo whispered, "It's up to you now..."
Yang Shuo smiled bitterly, stood up somewhat helplessly, and shouted loudly: "Tongguan has the advantage of having soldiers and armor. We can't attack by force. We can retreat and camp for the time being, build siege equipment, and seize the city in one fell swoop!"
In the chaos, someone shouted loudly: "I obey the order! Back off! Back off! Set up camp, set up camp!"
Yang Shuo turned to look at the "guard" behind him and whispered, "Brother Ma...will this strategy be effective...what if..."
"There is no such thing as a contingency...as long as the Tongguan guard cannot help but send troops out of the city...haha, this strategy will definitely work!"
As soon as Ma Yue leads his troops out of Tongguan, the lurking men inside Tongguan will immediately start a rebellion. When Ma Yue is in a dilemma, the morale of the army will definitely be in chaos. No matter how brave the hussars are, they will be unable to save their lives!
