Under Liu Bao's instigation, the entire Hedong County was like a spark igniting a prairie fire, quickly burning up. In Hedong, which had long been under oppression, the people oppressed by the powerful gentry saw Liu Bao and the others as if they had found a backbone.
They gathered in large numbers and rushed to Wubao and the county town in Hedong under the leadership of Liu Bao! Faced with the rebellion of so many people, Hedong was shocked and desperately looked for soldiers to suppress these people, but it was in vain. Even they had just sent The soldiers who went out turned around and joined the rebellious people.
These county soldiers are originally local people, and the rebellious people are their relatives. Although they still have food to eat, their families are living in dire straits. The noble families in Hedong will save some young people who are useful to them. But for the useless old, weak, women and children, they will not lose money to save these people who are useless to them!
Normally, the elite gentry had elite private soldiers to oppress them, so that they did not dare to act rashly. But now these soldiers are fighting on the front line with Dagan, and there is no time to oppress ordinary county soldiers, and the Dagan army's attack on Hedong is even more difficult. Gave them courage.
So an extremely ridiculous scene occurred. The wealthy nobles tried to mobilize these troops to resist the people. But these soldiers rebelled in advance, turned around and killed the local magistrates and officials, and opened the city gate to let these people in.
After the city was captured, the entire county was in a state of carnival. The local people killed everyone who was related to the noble families and robbed all the food and goods they could see.
"What are you rioters doing? Our family has been in trouble for many generations, how dare you rush into my mansion!" The leader of a noble clan saw the common people rushing into his home and angrily reprimanded these common people!
But they didn't listen to him at all. Instead, they pushed him to the ground and were trampled to death. His family members were either hanged or captured by the people!
Scenes like this were all over the Wubao in Hedong County. The elites controlled by these noble clansmen were on the front line. Most of the Wubao soldiers were old, weak, women and children, and these soldiers turned around and betrayed them. For a time, the entire Hedong noble clan became , the existence of a rat crossing the street that everyone shouts and beats!
Such a carnival caused Liu Bao to worry: "Now these people have completely lost control. They are killing innocent people indiscriminately. The government will blame us!"
Although Daqian also tried to recruit noble families, he did not kill them all indiscriminately like now. After the turmoil of this attack, I am afraid that the noble families in Hedong will disappear into thin air.
Liu Meng sneered and said: "It's too much. The wealthy nobles treated our tribe and the local people like this, and they must bear the consequences now!"
Liu Bao was still worried that Xu Wei would blame them and tried to organize them. Unfortunately, the people who had gone crazy now were beyond the control of hundreds of them. Liu Bao could only wait for the large army to enter Hedong County. Only in this way will they have enough manpower to take over Hedong County!
At this time, the noble families in Hedong were about to cry. There were powerful enemies outside and rebellions inside. God was going to destroy them.
The only way they can think of now is to send people to Luoyang City to ask Yuan Xi to support Hedong!
"General, the people of Hedong County rebelled. Hundreds of thousands of people attacked cities and territories in Hedong. A large number of nobles died tragically in the hands of the people. Hedong County is in danger. If the general does not save me in Hedong, Hebei's army will occupy Hedong!
"
Yuan Xi looked surprised and said: "Why did the people in Hedong rebel at this time? Why didn't you send troops to suppress it?"
The messenger smiled bitterly and said: "The elite troops in the east of Hedong are all resisting Thunder Lord on the front line, and they have no time to suppress the people. And the ordinary soldiers of the county are completely unreliable now. When the city is surrounded by random names, they can't find a way to defend the city, so they can open the door."
The gates of the cities should not let these rioters in. 9 of the 10 cities in Hedong were captured by the rioters in this way. Now the county soldiers are completely unreliable. Please ask the general to save us in Hedong!"
But Yuan Xi could only smile bitterly and said: "Now that Sili is in this situation, how can I have reinforcements to rescue Hedong!"
"Do you know that Chang'an guard Zhang He surrendered without a fight two days ago, and the whole of Chang'an has fallen. Now Lei Gong and Lei Gong's troops are pointing directly at Hongnong County, and if they go to Hongnong County, Zhang Bai's cavalry
A hundred thousand troops can march straight into Luoyang City."
Yang Feng in Chenliu County also led an army of 50,000 to conquer Rongyang City. Now the troops are pointing directly at Hulao Pass. Hanoi County has also been captured by Wan Lang of the Shangdang. Now they are looking for a ferry to find a way to enter Luoyang City. Now
The city of Luoyang is like a boat leaking everywhere. I can't even save myself now. Where can anyone go in to rescue you?"
At this time, Yuan Xi only had 30,000 soldiers guarding Luoyang City, but now the troops of the Daqian Army had reached outside the Eight Passes of Luoyang. As long as he broke through any pass, the Daqian Army would reach the gates of Luoyang City. At that time, he would have to face both
Hundreds of thousands of troops are approaching the city. Now Yuan Xi feels that the troops in his hands are not enough, how can he support Hedong County!
Yuan Xi even said: "Otherwise, you should stop resisting Lei Gong and lead the army to retreat back to Luoyang City. We can also concentrate our forces and fight a Luoyang defense battle with Lei Gong under Luoyang City. Luoyang City is more powerful than any city in the east of the river."
Be strong, this is the safest place in Sili!"
Now Yuan Xi felt that he didn't have enough soldiers in his hands. Hedong couldn't be defended anyway, so he might as well retreat to Luoyang City!
But the envoys did not want to just withdraw from Hedong. They must know that Hedong is their foundation. If they were not reluctant to give up their ancestral business, they would have fled to Xiangyang long ago. Jiangnan is not much safer than Hedong!
The envoy desperately asked: "Why didn't the general ask the chariot and cavalry generals to support our Sili? Could it be that the chariot and cavalry generals didn't come to rescue us even when they saw Sili's fall!"
Yuan Xi said helplessly: "My eldest brother is in trouble now. Huang Long of Yanzhou led an army of 150,000 to capture the city in Yuzhou. The Yuzhou army was defeated and retreated. Now half of Yuzhou has fallen. My eldest brother still wants to ask for our support."
Yuzhou!”
"Yuzhou is actually in danger? How could it be like this? How many armies did Lei Gong launch to attack me?"
The envoy knew that the entire Sili army was now facing an army of 250,000, and Lei Gong launched another 150,000 troops to attack Yuzhou. Could this be another Central Plains war? Where did Lei Gong get such strength? In less than half a year, he could actually launch another attack.
A war involving hundreds of thousands of people.
You must know that after the Central Plains War, although the three major princes of the Han Dynasty have been recuperating this year, they have not recovered even half of their strength. The fierce Central Plains War seems to have no impact on Lei Gong. This Lei Gong is too strong.
