Although Jincheng is fighting, businessmen are still coming and going. The profits from the soap make businessmen of aristocratic families unable to stop. Although Geng Bi is arrogant and domineering in Liangzhou, he does not dare to disobey these secret forces. He watches the businessmen coming and going in Jincheng just turning a blind eye.
With one eye closed, the merchants naturally did not want Jincheng to be captured by Geng Bi's army. Cheng Qiu, who led the army, became a huge threat in their eyes.
Merchants spontaneously sold weapons, armor, and food to the Jincheng Prefecture.
The war entered a downturn, and Geng Bi's temporary army began to show its shortcomings. If Geng Bi chose to attack the city, no one would be willing to risk their lives, and these soldiers were not willing to stay quietly in the city. They kept causing trouble, which made Geng Bi
Very busy and exhausted.
In the counties where Geng Bi, the nominally official army, went, the people he chose to stay were basically old, weak, women and children. Geng Bi's style of army changed the color of countless people after hearing about it.
The officials under his command continued to remonstrate. Geng Bi, who was stunned by the consecutive days of victory, angrily killed several officials who spoke harshly and did not impose any restraint on the soldiers under his command, which aroused the anger of many knowledgeable people, especially Geng.
Even if the state pastor now has great power, it would be very troublesome to openly kill the scholars.
Nearly half a year after the army was launched, Geng Bi's army only captured six counties. The soldiers from Jincheng huddled in Warrior City and faced off with Cheng Qiu's army, while Han Sui was in a stalemate with Geng Bi in Hanyang.
It was late autumn, and suddenly a loud shout came from the Chinese army where Geng Bi was. Dozens of soldiers armed with ring-headed knives rushed out of the camp. One of the generals was holding a bloody human head. Upon closer inspection, it was Geng Bi.
The surrounding soldiers all changed their expressions when they saw this. Someone shouted "Lord Zhou Mu is dead", and the whole military camp was completely boiling.
Geng Bi's death was too strange, and it was puzzling to everyone that this general led his troops to kill Geng Bi.
The phrase "trees knock down hozens" is a perfect way to describe Geng Bi's army. After hearing the news of Geng Bi's death, the soldiers were not thinking about revenge for Geng Bi, but they were rushing towards the warehouse, frantically grabbing the warehouse.
The grain, grass, weapons and armor in the army were so great that many soldiers of the tribe even started fighting because of it.
"Geng is so immoral, why don't we take refuge with General Han Sui!" the general holding Geng's head shouted loudly.
The soldiers under his command responded with a bang and followed the general towards the city where Han Sui was. The tents and other objects on the road were also set alight by the soldiers, and the billowing smoke floated high into the sky.
A cold arrow roared towards the general holding Geng's head in the crowd.
With a "pop" sound, the arrow shot straight into the general's neck, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly.
The general held his neck unwillingly, fell to the ground with a "thud", struggled in vain for a few times, and left with a look of reluctance, his eyes wide open, as if to see clearly who shot the arrow.
A Han general not far away put away his long bow and cursed angrily: "A seller has no shame in seeking glory!"
A man dressed as a general next to him stepped forward and asked: "General Liang, what should we do?"
General Liang said: "Collect the body of your Excellency first."
"Han Sui is here!" Less than an hour after Geng Bi's death, Han Sui led his army to kill him, and Geng Bi's army was in chaos without its leader.
The entire military camp was in chaos, and many generals from Geng Bi's army took the opportunity to recruit soldiers with the intention of escaping.
After Han Sui led his troops into Geng Bi's army, he shouted "Those who surrender will not be killed" all the way. Wherever he passed, soldiers looked at the wind and surrendered, and the army of hundreds of thousands was instantly disintegrated.
News of Geng Bi's death quickly spread throughout Liangzhou.
After Cheng Qiu, who was attacking Jincheng, heard the news, Xingye led his army towards Wuwei. The soldiers all retreated lightly, and all the food, grass and baggage were abandoned.
Geng Bi's death directly eased the situation in Jincheng and Hanyang. After gathering Geng Bi's remnants, Han Sui took the opportunity to occupy the three counties of Ayang, Chengji, Pingxiang and Xiang. The lost cities were also taken back, and countless grain, grass and weapons were obtained, and his strength was greatly improved.
Big improvement.
Let's talk about Cheng Qiu leading his soldiers to Wuwei. The whole army knew the news of Geng Bi's death, and many generals in the army had already set their sights on Cheng Qiu.
Cheng Qiu was naturally aware of everyone's attitude, and asked Cheng Yin to lead his soldiers to guard him day and night, even when he was sleeping.
Three days later, Cheng Qiu was killed in the army, and the team he led was disbanded. Jincheng sent Zhang Xiu, Wulan, Mi Wei and other generals to march forward with great success and captured ten thousand enemy soldiers.
The initial force of hundreds of thousands of troops was huge, but I didn't expect that it would turn out like this just a few months later.
At this time, the news that Jia Rong was still alive had already spread throughout the Han Dynasty, and the forces peeping at Jincheng restrained their thoughts.
At this time, there is no doubt that Zhang Li of Jincheng and Han Sui of Hanyang are powerful. Jincheng, in particular, has strong financial support and is extremely easy to expand. However, Han Sui captured the three counties of Ayang, Chengji, Pingxiang, and Jincheng, but Jincheng did not escape.
The warriors are heavily guarded.
After Dong Zhuo led his army back to Longxi, he relied on his prestige in Longxi and took the opportunity to recruit troops. With the help of Li Ru, the entire Longxi gradually fell under his control, and the apparent governor of Longxi became Dong Zhuo's puppet.
After the defeat of Geng Bi, various forces in Liangzhou gradually emerged.
The sun and the moon flew by, and in the blink of an eye it was the fourth year of Zhongping.
In February, the Xingyang peasant uprising army captured Zhongmou and killed the county magistrate Lord Bo, but was quickly eliminated by the Han army.
"Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun joined forces with Wuhuanqiu Liju to rebel and killed the captain who was guarding Wuhuan. The rebels captured Yuyang County, and Zhang Ju proclaimed himself emperor." When the news came out, it shocked the world, and Jia Rong also passed it.
Xianlian Pavilion quickly obtained the relevant information.
Although Zhang Jiao rebelled in the past, he did so under the banner of General Tiangong and did not dare to openly proclaim himself emperor. The four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty, even though it is old, is still a supreme existence in the hearts of the people. The Yellow Turbans are to a certain extent
To damage the majesty of the Han Dynasty without the excitement of proclaiming himself emperor is tantamount to giving the Han Emperor a loud slap in the face in front of everyone in the world.
The Han Emperor could tolerate rebellion, but would never allow anyone to proclaim himself emperor.
After the Wuhuan rebelled and occupied Yuyang County, they continued to plunder surrounding counties and counties. Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun took advantage of the situation and rose up to attack the counties. The rebels were like locusts passing through the border wherever they went. Initially, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun strictly restrained them.
, aroused the opposition of many soldiers. In the end, the two chose to compromise and allowed the soldiers to burn, kill and loot, making the people miserable.
After several months of this, Zhang Ju's rebel army had reached 100,000 people, attacking all the way to Zhuo County and confronting the Han army.
Zhang Ju claimed to be the Son of Heaven, and Zhang Chun claimed to be General Mitian and King of An Ding. They moved to Shuzhou County, claiming that Zhang Ju would replace Han as emperor, and asked the Han Emperor to abdicate. The officials welcomed Zhang Ju.
Zhang Ju openly rebelled, which to a great extent showed the decline of the royal family.
The rebels had plundered most counties in Youzhou and Jizhou in a few months. Qiu Liju of Wuhuan occupied Yuyang, echoing Zhang Chunyao's move.
When the Han Emperor heard this, he was furious and ordered the Southern Xiongnu to lead an army to attack Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju. At the same time, he issued an edict for Gongsun Zan to lead the army to quickly annihilate Wuhuan. The prefects and governors in various places also received the imperial edict and organized soldiers to resist.
Unexpectedly, the Southern Huns also led their troops to rebel and did not obey the imperial orders.
For a time, the Han Dynasty had no available soldiers.
Gongsun Zan led Baima Yicong to fight against Wuhuan at Shimen. At the beginning, they had a great advantage. As more and more Wuhuan people arrived, Gongsun Zan was unable to support himself and was trapped in the city. He asked Liu Yu for help to no avail.
He led his troops to flee Peiping, fought and then retreated.
There was another rebellion among the people in Changsha, but it was suppressed by the army led by Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha.
In the fourth year of Zhongping, the entire Han Dynasty was plunged into the mire of war, but the intrigues in the court never stopped.
Nowadays, the Han Emperor's body is getting weaker and weaker, and he drags his sick body to court every day.
As for the matter of the prince, he has been unable to make a decision. The prince Liu Ben is older than the prince association, but he has lived among the people since he was a child, and his behavior is a bit frivolous after entering the palace.
It is said that Liu Bian's identity as the crown prince is almost certain. Unexpectedly, the Han Emperor loved Prince Xie very much at this time, and he had the intention of making Liu Xie the crown prince.
Therefore, the hundreds of officials in the dynasty were divided into two factions. One faction held high the banner to support the prince Bian. The leader was the general He Jin. The reason was very good. The prince Bian was older. According to the rules set by his ancestors, he could not establish a direct descendant or an elder.
, should be established as the prince, not to mention that the prince is still the biological son of Queen He, so it is natural to become the prince.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty favored the alliance between princes and princes, and naturally there were ministers who followed him. No one wanted to be in the wrong team at such a critical moment.
The court was divided into two factions, arguing all day long, but there were only a few people who really wanted to destroy the thieves.
Jia Rong was in Guangyang County at this time. Zhang Chun rebelled, and people were panicked. Youzhou, like Liangzhou, belonged to the border, and wars continued in the past few years.
They have always pursued a gentle policy, appeasing them as long as they can. Over the past few years, Xianbei and Wuhuan, instead of being grateful, thought that the big man was easy to bully, and Liu Yu also cooperated in sending comfort items.
Over time, the arrogance of these foreigners was further fueled, and his general Gongsun Zan was a militant. Whenever he heard that Wuhuan people or Xianbei were invading, he would definitely ask for a fight. Liu Yu's cowardly behavior every time made his generals lose their fighting spirit.
.
Gongsun Zan studied under Lu Zhi and was considered the number one figure in Youzhou. He directly expressed his dissatisfaction with Liu Yu and led his troops to plunder Liu Yu's comfort supplies many times. It can be said that the relationship between him and Liu Yu
The misunderstanding is deep.
After the last battle with Xianbei, Baima Yi's number increased from 3,000 to 6,000. Every time he attacked the Wuhuan people, Xianbei people, and Gongsun Zan took the lead, killing from noon to dusk without getting tired, and surrendered.
He killed all the soldiers and hated the foreigners to the core.
Gongsun Zan's reputation intimidated the Wuhuan people to a certain extent, but this time the Wuhuan invaded in a large scale, and Gongsun Zan was out of strength and retreated steadily.
I have been working hard to update. After reading it, collecting it or giving a red ticket, Duanya is very moved. Whether it is a comment or a thumbs up, Duanya likes it!
