Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 379 Changes in Hedong

  Spring was supposed to be full of hope, and the spring breeze should be refreshing, but now the governor Wang and Juncheng Lu of Anyi feel completely disappointed and cold.

It was only two days ago that I received the news that the Shanjin pontoon bridge was burned. At first, the two of them were not too concerned. After all, it was a matter belonging to Hongnong County. , but did not expect that the next thing was greatly beyond the two people's expectations.

  The Baibo army did not go to Jizhou, but turned around and came out from the foot of Lei Dashan in the Luliang Mountains, conquering Yong'an County in one fell swoop...

If it is an ordinary Yellow Turban Army, that's fine. Anyway, since the three Zhang Jiao brothers gave their heads, the Yellow Turban Bandits have become less and less popular. Shun will collapse.

  But this Baibo army is different.

   You must know that this is the Baibo Army that even Dong Zhuo’s Xiliang Army defeated before...

  Although there were many factors in Niu Fu's defeat at the beginning, it is undeniable that the tenacity and fighting skills of the Baibo Army were much higher than that of the general Yellow Turban Army.

  Breakdown of the Shanjin pontoon bridge means that at least for a period of time, there will be no support from the imperial court. Of course, Hongnong is also in chaos now. How much support Dong Zhuo’s imperial court can give is another matter.

But now, a very realistic problem is placed in front of Wang Juncheng and Lu Juncheng. Fighting must be fought, and it is impossible not to fight. There is no order to pursue accountability, and the accumulative spittle stars alone can drown the two of them just because of the public opinion...

   But how to fight the problem?

  The main reason is that the Baibo army is planning to plunder or is planning to attack Hedong?

  If it’s just looting for a while, it’s easy to say, just wait for the Baibo army to retreat and send troops to recover Yong’an County.

   If not for looting...

  How to do it requires careful consideration.

It's not that Wang and Lu are afraid of fighting, but that fighting is really different from fighting. Money, food, weapons, various supplies, and logistical supplies must be considered first. Then it's not called calming the chaos, it's called food delivery.

Wang Lu's original idea was to let the Wei family take the lead, and then gather the private soldiers of the squires from all over the country, plus the county soldiers under his control, so that although he can't say that he will definitely be able to defeat the Baibo army, at least he can resist the Baibo army The offensive will not make the Baibo army too arrogant.

   And in this way, you can also take this opportunity to consume the power of these local snakes...

  But I didn't expect Wei Shi to claim to be sick at this critical juncture!

  Of course Wang and Lu understood that this well-timed illness was Wei's return to Wang Yi for calling him sick, but there was nothing they could do about it. Wei's approach is to force Wang Yi to come to see him and bow his head first, but if Wang Yi does this, he will never be able to raise his head in Hedong in the future, so all the efforts the two of them have made before to get rid of the control of the head snake in Hedong They all turned into bubbles.

   "Duke Ming, the matter is urgent, why not ask Feishang County to help out..." Lu Chang said. Although it is a matter of Hedong County, there is no reason to let the people of Shangjun participate in it logically, but judging from the current situation, unless it is ready to compromise with Wei Shi, there is only one way to go now.

Wang Yi thought for a long time, and nodded. After all, he and Fei Qian had a good relationship before, and there was no conflict. Moreover, Fei Qian's camp and Jia Qu are located in the southwest of Anyi, and the communication is at least better than Wei's. It's easier.

   "Waiting for my relatives to discuss with each other will show sincerity." Now that it's decided not to follow Wei's line, then Wang Yi must naturally do what he should do.

   "I will lead the county soldiers to Xiangling to guard immediately." The county guard Wang Yi is in Anyi, so it is natural for Lu Chang to go to the front to supervise the battle.

  Xiangling is a relatively large county close to Yong'an, which means it is under the vanguard of the Baibo army, and Lu Chang's move is tantamount to visiting the front line in person.

   "Meng Heng... please, please be cautious!" Wang Yi stood up and saluted Lu Chang solemnly.

"Wei!" Lu Chang smiled, and at this moment, he actually relaxed, "Back then, the Yellow Turban was plundered between Henan and Yingying, and my family was also destroyed in the flames of war. Today's matter is life and death, but Chang Chang still has a breath, and I will not let it go." Bandit army south next step!"

  ×××××××××××××××

"Hedong Yong'an County was captured by the Baibo Army." Fei Qian handed Jia Qu's letter to the crowd for circulation, "In addition, the Shanjin Floating Bridge was burned, and the business line between us and Sili was cut off. The grain and grass in Hedong County are now I can’t collect it anymore, after all, Hedong himself has also encountered the Yellow Turban, and the country gentry, big and small, are stockpiling food..."

  In Jia Qu's letters, there is not a single piece of good news, but all bad news.

Huang Xianliang, who was stationed in the Shanjin camp, did a good job. The enemy army opposite Hongnong did not destroy the goods stationed in the camp. Come here.

Fei Qian didn't plan to have a long-term deal with Sili at first, but he didn't expect it to end so suddenly. Although in the past month or so, he has indeed gained a lot of benefits through the price difference between the two places, but if he can follow the Fei Qian's original idea was supported for about three months, then Fei Qian could accumulate a considerable amount of wealth here...

  But at present, it can be said that it was forced to die after only one-third of the progress. This is indeed a headache for Fei Qian.

Don't look at the fact that Feiqian is expanding very fast at this stage. From the very beginning, when he entered Hedong, there were less than 1,000 infantry and less than 100 cavalry. Now there are three camps under his jurisdiction—well, there are two left, Shanjin's The camp has been withdrawn, the infantry has expanded to more than 5,000, and the cavalry has also increased to nearly a thousand. If the recruited Hu cavalry is added, the total number of cavalry is about 1,500...

   But these are still soldiers without roots, without a foundation.

  Beiqu here can only be regarded as a camp, not a city, so it is naturally impossible for a large number of people to gather, cultivate farmland, and there is no harvest this year...

  The trade of Sili was cut off, and the food and grass in Hedong were cut off. Although there is still a lot of food stored at this stage, and there are some cattle and sheep traded with the Hu people, these cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

   And now, there is another problem in front of Fei Qian—

   Feiqian looked around the crowd slowly, and said, "Hedong is now asking us for help, shall we agree or not?"

   Guan Yu wanted to guard Huarong Road and intercept Cao Cao, but Kong Ming didn't believe him and asked him to issue a military order not to seize Cao Cao's military law.

   In the end, Guan Yu still missed his old love and let Cao Cao go.

Back in the camp, I saw the military commander Kong Ming sitting in front of him, his face sinking like water, and when he saw Guan Yu, he slapped his hands on the table and said angrily, "Second General, where is the agreed interception?! "

Ugh…

   Poor Kong Ming, I don’t know that there’s nothing wrong with anything involving the second child...
