Chapter 63: Unrest in Xiliang, Xianbei soldiers besiege Mayi County

In September of the first year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling Liu Hong taxed the world's coins, acres of ten coins, and cast bronze men, saying "suppress the national fortune". He issued an edict to prefectures and counties, wood, stones, and sent them to the capital. He ordered the governor, 2,000 stones and Maocai, and Xiaolian were moved to the army, and all assisted the army and repaired the palace coins. The county reached 20,000 to 30 million. The rest were different. In the same month, Huangzhong Yi rebelled from Hu and established Beigong Boyu as a general. He then took the governor of Liangzhou to work in Bianzhang and Liangzhou as hostage. In order to rescue Bianzhang, Han Sui and the two of them entered the rebel camp alone, but were killed. Beigong Boyu used this as a threat to force Bianzhang. Han Sui joined the gang, and later recommended Bianzhang as the leader. For a time, responders from the four places in Liangzhou gathered in Jincheng, and the momentum was no different.

In October, the Taiwei Yang Ci was dismissed, and the Taifu Deng Sheng was appointed as the Taiwei; Sikong Zhang Ji was dismissed, and the Grand Chief Pillion Zhang Wen was appointed as the Sikong; Situ Yuan Wei was dismissed, and Cui Lie, a famous scholar in Jizhou, was appointed as the Situ. In the same month, Beigong Boyu led tens of thousands of cavalry troops to detain the land of the Sanfu under the banner of killing eunuchs and invaded Yuanling. Emperor Han Liu Hong sent the left cavalry general Huangfu Song and the Central Army General Dong Zhuo to conquer the battle. After more than a month, they failed. Instead, Beigong Boyu's strength was further expanded, and a crowd of 100,000 troops suddenly became riots in the world.

The Taiwei Deng Sheng of the same month was dismissed, and the Taifu servant Zhang Yan was appointed as the Taiwei. Because Huangfu Song was unfavorable in the battle, he was dismissed from all positions. Sikong Zhang Wen was appointed as the general of the chariot and cavalry to continue the expedition to the Beigong Boyu, and Yang Ci was specially promoted to serve as Sikong.

In the short February of the court, the position of the Three Duke was obtained by entering Qianxiyuan. Talented people sneered at it.

At this time, the year is approaching, and the county magistrate's office is in the Yinguan City.

"You all report on the situation over the past few months!"

After experiencing the incident of Qiang and Hu invading the border, Yang Fan knew the wonders of martial arts. He spent the past few months practicing martial arts hard, and there were guidance from famous generals such as Dian Wei and Xu Chu. Yang Fan's martial arts can be said to be a thousand miles a day, and he has achieved some success at this time.

"Lord, my Xunjie Camp now has 10,000 cavalry troops. After several months of hard training, it is very useful."

Guan Yu laughed first and said that he was proud of his time, and he picked all the horses he bought from Yanmen.

"I have followed the lord's wishes and practiced the art of attacking and fighting formations. Now I have gained a little bit!"

Zhang Liao then spoke out.

"The camp is fully equipped and can go out at any time."

Gao Shun said coolly and stopped talking.

Guan Yu and Zhang Liao looked at each other and smiled bitterly when they heard this. They had also seen Gao Shun's camp. The heavy infantry armed to the teeth really couldn't raise the slightest determination to fight with him.

"In the past few months, my military farm camp has reclaimed a total of 1 million mu of farmland, all distributed in Fanyu, Wangtao, Yinguan and other counties."

After the chief general of the war army finished reporting, Ma Chuang said.

"My Business Department now has restaurants and inns in all cities in Bingzhou, and its income is basically stable."

Su Shuang's round little eyes rolled for a few minutes, then said.

"The Logistics Department now has thirteen general workshops, distributed in various counties in Yanmen. There are 1,000 long swords, 453 bows and crossbows, 63,473 arrows, and 6,800 ring-headed swords... The armor has not been replaced with the soldiers in the army, so it has not been stored; there are 53 granaries in total, with 2 million stones of food and fodder, which is quite abundant."

Zhang Shiping finally told Yang Fan’s family.

"Well, the armor needs to be built quickly. I hope that my soldiers will wear iron armor, not cloth armor or bamboo armor."

Yang Fan was quite satisfied with the progress of this, and then turned his head to look at Xi Zhong, Hao Zhou and the other two.

"Our Yanmen County has 14 counties under its jurisdiction, with a total of 473,567 households and more than 2.3 million people. The policy of the lord recruiting refugees is still in place, and thousands of new refugees are added in our Yanmen County every day."

After obtaining Xi Zhong's approval, Hao Zhou, who had been the prime minister of Yanmen County, hurriedly said to Yang Fan.

"Well, Beigong Boyu of Liangzhou launched an army to rebel. What do you think of this matter?"

Yang Fan then told everyone about this.

"This rebellion is not as good as the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Beigong Boyu is under his command. The court has taken the left cavalry general Huangfu Song and the Central Army General Dong Zhuo as generals. He has not been able to fight for more than a month. It can be seen that his combat power cannot be underestimated." Xi Zhong gently shook the feather fan, and then frowned and said, "This matter has focused the eyes of the people of the world in Liangzhou. Zhong believes that the turmoil in Dingxiliang will last for several months or longer."

"On the entire Han area, only our Zhenbei Army still has the power to fight. As Zhou expected, the imperial court will definitely transfer the lord westward to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion and appease."

Hao Zhou chuckled and analyzed.

"After changing the position of the Three Dukes, whoever has money will be regarded as the one who is willing to work hard for such an imperial court?"

Zhang Liao was young and energetic and said angrily.

"How can we speculate on the major events of the court? Wen Yuan must remember them."

When Yang Fan heard this, he frowned slightly and then looked at Xi Zhong. Xi Zhong received a hint and immediately spoke out.

"We are a general who is a Chinese, just keep our duties and nothing else!"

Nowadays, the Han area is unpredictable and mysterious, as if an invisible hand is controlling all this. When I think of this, Yang Fan immediately said: "Yanmen is backed by the Xianbei grassland, and our northern army cannot move easily. This time, let Niujiao go down the mountain and make a fuss. In this way, I have some remarks!"

"Goodness, loyalty is a letter and a cow's horn."

After hearing this, Xi Zhong quickly agreed.

"Report!"

At this time, a soldier outside the door was coming in a hurry.

"What's the matter?"

This man wore a red-feathered helmet, and was a soldier in Guan Yu Xunjie Camp. Looking at his expression, Yang Fan couldn't help but be shocked.

"The Xianbei army has arrived in Mayi County, and the Zhoucang School Captain sent a villain to report!"

The soldier did not dare to neglect and said anxiously.

"What? How many Xianbei people? When will they invade my Mayi?"

Yang Fan was shocked when he heard this and asked immediately.

"The Xianbei are all cavalrymen, with a population of less than 30,000. They besieged Mayi this morning, and there was no sign of their way south."

The soldier replied while wiping his sweat.

"Mayi is a county where Yu is stationed. There are foreign enemies who are invading the border. Yu specially bid farewell to the lord."

Guan Yu then stood up and clasped his fists at Yang Fan.

"Don't worry, please be calm!" Yang Fan first reached out and signaled Guan Yu to sit down first, and then asked Xi Zhong: "The Xianbei is coming in a fierce manner, and there was no news before. Fan wanted to lead the battle, so the Second Battalion of the Guards went to Mayi to block his troops."

"Our army has many infantry soldiers, and it is not wise to fight in the field with the Xianbei cavalry. The lord is a lineage of our Zhenbei Army, how can we move lightly?"

Seeing that Yang Fan was about to wear a ward, Xi Zhong quickly spoke and persuaded him.

"I have decided, don't say more!"

When the war is coming, hesitation is the most taboo. Thinking of this, Yang Fan immediately shouted.

"Then we can use Zhongyun to slap the lord's flag as bait. Our army set up an ambush formation south of Mayi and on the banks of Longshan. When he enters the old man, he can fight down."

Seeing that things were not done, Xi Zhong hurriedly gave him advice.

"Longshan is difficult to move forward, and it lasts for several miles. How could the Xianbei general fall into the trap?"

Yang Fan frowned and asked immediately.

"The lord is my general in Zhenbei, the prefect of Yanmen. If I were the Xianbei general, I would send someone to capture him when I saw that there were only a few thousand people beside him." Xi Zhong was well versed in military tactics and immediately said: "Besides, the lord has never appeared among the Xianbei people, how could he know the authenticity?"

"This plan is feasible, but the armor of the camp is quite heavy. If you put on the siege, you may be really good at making a false play, and it will not be worth the loss." Xi Zhong's plan is quite wonderful, but Yang Fan had a different view and said, "It's better to call out the five schools from the military farm and then lead by Yun Chang, Wen Yuan and other powerful generals, can it be?"

"It's feasible, but I wonder if the generals can give up their face and lure the enemy into the formation?"

Xi Zhong then turned his gaze to Guan Yu and Zhang Liao.

"The Xianbei are all cavalrymen, how can we lure the enemy?"

Zhang Liao asked in confusion, but his face looked slightly bitter.

"This is not difficult to deal with. Our army can dig more pits on the way to retreat, three feet wide and one foot deep. This is a strategy to delay the Xianbei cavalry." After Xi Zhong finished speaking, he turned to look at Guan Yu.

"Xiangshi, my Xunjie Camp now has 10,000 cavalry troops, and the bravery of the Cang camp can be defeated in just a small area. Why is it so troublesome?"

Guan Yu's expression changed slightly, and then he clasped his fists and said.

"Yun Chang is brave and brave, and Fan expresses deep gratitude. However, generals need to make a living for their comrades."

Seeing Xi Zhong look at him, Yang Fan immediately explained.

"It is cowardly to avoid fighting. Our soldiers are several times more numerous than the Xianbei cavalry. Wouldn't such actions damage the face of our great country?"

Guan Yu was puzzled and said immediately.

"Chief Yun, your words are reasonable. Wouldn't it be better for us to allow more soldiers to survive victory? If I lose 3,000 soldiers, why should I lose 5,000 soldiers to win? Is this what a wise man does? We are generals, so we need to consider more of the soldiers under our command."

Guan Yu was arrogant, and Yang Fan could only patiently explain the truth to him.

"Yu, I've been taught!"

When Yang Fan said this, Guan Yu suddenly realized it and then clasped his fists to respond.

"In this way, then draw the five schools from the military camp, led by Guan Yu and Zhang Liao to lure the enemy. Remember, you should not be too far from the ambush place. You need to grasp the degree. Gao Shun led the camp to set up an ambush with me, and Ma Chuang led his troops to stay in the Yinguan."

Seeing that the plan was settled, Yang Fan immediately stood up and ordered.

"promise!"
