Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 109 The Chaos of Yang Jin
A soldier hurried in, crossed his hands and said in a loud voice: "Reporting to Zhizhou, there is a military bandit Yang Jin who suddenly made a riot. With tens of thousands of soldiers, he took the way of Dengfeng, passed Yingyang, and went straight to Yique. I heard that he wanted to take the way of Longmen and occupy Henan. House!"

Wang Xiaolie opened his eyes suddenly and looked at the soldiers below.After a while, he slammed the table: "Be clear, how many people does this Yang Jin have? There are tens of thousands of soldiers, and the population of my whole Ruzhou is only small!"

The soldier was taken aback and didn't know what to say for a moment, trembling there.

Wang Xiaolie waved his hands and said, "I see. You go down first."

The soldiers sang promises and left.Wang Xiaolie looked at his back and was stunned for a while.Who is to blame?This era is like this, how difficult it is to get accurate figures!He is no stranger to Yang Jin and Wang Xiaolie. He was also considered a colleague when he was in Kaifeng Mansion, and he was recruited by Zongze.

Yang Jin, nicknamed the Hornless Bull, is tall and strong, like a cow.It turned out to be Wang Yuan's subordinate. After being recruited, he became one of the rulers of Kaifeng Mansion.Originally guarding Zhengzhou, this time I took Dengfeng to avoid the soldiers and horses on Liangjing Avenue.

There are thousands of officers and soldiers in command.It is outrageous to say that Yang Jin has three thousand soldiers and Wang Xiaolie still believes that tens of thousands.The entire population of Zhengzhou has joined the army, and it is a miracle that tens of thousands of soldiers can be gathered.At this time of war, it is difficult to figure out the number of opponents.

In fact, Yang Jin himself claims to have 70 soldiers, but the rumors around him are tens of thousands, which is already discounted. 70, is the vast area from Kaifeng to Luoyang enough to expand?With so many people, the queue would be hundreds of miles away.

Sighing, Wang Xiaolie stood up and ordered the soldiers to call all the commanders.I took out the maps I drew these days and observed them carefully.Yique is the southern gateway of Luoyang, and it is also close to Ruzhou.

Zhai Jin is a powerful Luoyang family, and the army's headquarters is in Fengyang Shanzhai not far from Yique.When Yang Jin attacked Yique, he had to face Zhai Jin's army first.After Zhai Jin was defeated, Luoyang was occupied.

Wang Xiaolie's three thousand soldiers and horses, he thought they were strong and strong, but in the eyes of the surrounding forces, they were just small characters.Yang Jin brought an army here, but he didn't necessarily think about himself.In his eyes, Ruzhou might just be a place for food.

After watching for a while, Wang Xiaolie secretly estimated.Yang Jin's so-called 70 troops, or the tens of thousands of people around him, are not reliable.But people like them, every time they go to a place, they must incorporate all their strength into the army.There are nearly 2 soldiers under his command, plus the coerced people, the total number should be [-] to [-].No matter how much, it is really unreasonable.

Now is autumn, which is the time when there is the most food.The army he led swept across hundreds of miles, so Yang Jin should have no shortage of food.Facing such an army, it should not be underestimated.Ruzhou must be defended.Don't be negligent, Yang Jin came east suddenly with an army, and he couldn't resist.

Not long after, Shao Ling, Xie Linong, Cao Zhiyan, Yu Huan and Niu Gao arrived.

After letting a few people sit down, Wang Xiaolie said: "Just then, I got a report. The original Kaifeng government controlled Yang Jin, and suddenly raised troops. Take the south of Zhengzhou, cross Songshan Mountain from Dengfeng, and go straight to the south of Luoyang. To the east of Yique is Linru Town. I am the gate of Ruzhou. There is no other way, you immediately mobilize your troops and horses, and go back to Ruzhou. Ruzhou is our foundation, and there is no room for loss."

Cao Zhiyan frowned after hearing this: "When I was in Kaifeng, this Yang Jin also heard about it, a rule under Zongliu's guard. Now that the Jin soldiers have not come south, why did he suddenly turn against him?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Who knows? I heard that Du Liushou is not liked by the military commander in Kaifeng after he took office, and many troops are very popular. There is only Zhai Taiwei stationed in Luoyang, which is relatively empty. Not surprising."

Shao Ling said: "Yang Jin was originally stationed in Zhengzhou, which is also a big place, why go to Luoyang?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "I just heard the news. I don't know exactly what's going on. Generally speaking, although Zhengzhou is also a big state, it was attacked by the Jin army several times last year. There is nothing to gain. Yang Jin is He used to be a military bandit, how can he be reconciled if he can't make money in the local area? Luoyang is a big place, he will inevitably want to go."

Niu Gao said: "Funny! He is a general of the imperial court, how can he choose the place by himself!"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head slightly, but did not speak.At this time, Zhao Gou's court is not stable, why should the generals be obedient?In the next few years, I'm afraid there will be military leaders like Yang Jin everywhere.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Xiaolie said: "In the past, when the Jin army came to the south, it took November, December, September, and October. Actually, there should be no major issues. So we brought the army to Ye County for a unified drill. , by the way, in case someone comes from Yingchang Mansion. Who would have thought that Yang Jin would start an incident in September, and we would be caught off guard. Let’s not talk about that, how many days will it take to gather the soldiers and horses?"

Xie Linong said: "I and Yu Tongzhi's soldiers and horses are the farthest away from the county, and they are also scattered. It will take at least two days to gather together. The rest of the ministries don't need so much time."

Yu Huan said: "It's been very tense for two days, it's absolutely impossible to do less."

Seeing that the other three nodded.Wang Xiaolie said: "Well, let's gather troops in two days. After two days, the whole army will set out to return to Ruzhou. It will take three days on the road, so there should be no delay. No matter how fast Yang marches, five days will still be enough." Block him."

Shao Ling frowned and said: "Xiao Sheren, if you mobilize troops desperately, it will not be difficult to return to Ruzhou in five days. However, you have been rectifying the official affairs these days, and many things cannot be put down at once. Will you leave like this? What will happen?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "There is no other way, just let them go. The rectification of the official affairs is extremely complicated, how can it be completed in a few days? If it can be peaceful, that is naturally the best. If there is a mess, you should be rewarded afterwards Rewards, punishments that should be punished, what else can they do? As long as the army does not make trouble, everything is not a big deal. War years are nothing compared to peacetime."

Several people nodded together.But in their hearts, they all felt that it was too hasty.Earlier, Wang Xiaolie was too ruthless in rectifying the official affairs, but now the officials below are all terrified, and it's hard to say what they think.

After the officials escaped from Jingxi Road, the ones with strong local appeal were the military academy and the officials.Except for the local local tyrants, they are able to recruit manpower and do some great things.

In front of the rectification of the army, officers were required to read and write, and meeting minutes were required. Many small and medium-sized military schools were very dissatisfied.These days, there is a large-scale rectification of official affairs, and Wang Xiaolie offended the public officials again.Relying on the army in hand, he offended all those who could be offended.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Wang Xiaolie said: "You don't have to worry. I will take care of it alone when there is a mess. To be honest, I have done a lot of things in the past few months, so it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate. Fluctuations will fluctuate. As long as they finally stabilize, It's all worth it."

Wang Xiaolie has always felt that as long as there are no accidents in the army in his hands, he doesn't need to care too much about other things.How can there be no resistance to reform?As long as you can overcome it, it's not a bad thing.

A lot of things, I'm afraid it's useless.If you can hide for a while, can you hide for a lifetime?It is also good to have problems early and solve them early.
