Chapter 864

Xuzhou does not pay little attention to the troubles of the chaos in the Sishui River Basin. In the surrounding area alone, there are Li Hong, the internal history of Pengcheng, Mi Tong, the prefect of Linhuai, Que Ming, the Prime Minister of Xiapi, etc., which add up to nearly 3 people. troops.

However, this so-called force is only literal.Among them, Li Hong is a direct confidant of Xijian, the governor of Xuzhou. He led 5000 elite Xuzhou troops to sit in Pengcheng, cut off the way for Liu Zheng's rebellious army to continue to flee north, and prevented them from escaping from the Heze area around Surabaya and the land of Hebei. Actually hook up with each other.

And the other groups of people are just literal meanings.

Similar to Mi Tong, the prefect of Linhuai, he is the local Dahao of Xuzhou. The foundation in Huaibei is not too different from that of Wu Xingshen in Jiangdong in the early years, and the inheritance history is much longer, just because he was involved in the Sima family in the early years During the Three Rebellions of Cao, Wei and Huainan caused by the seizure of power, the profound family property suffered a devastating blow. It was notable that it was not well established in China and North Korea, and gradually became a local tyrant, but the local foundation was still solid.

With the advent of troubled times in Yongjia, this kind of local tyrant's family who had fallen into a dead wood was once again able to thrive. In particular, Wang Yezhongxing was fighting endlessly in this area. attitude.Later, Jie State was defeated by Huai Shang, and Mi Tong led his people back to Xi Jian, and was recommended by Xi Jian as the important prefect of Linhuai.

Que Ming, Prime Minister of Xiapi, has a similar life experience to Su Jun who made trouble in Jiangdong in his early years. He rose from the grasslands in troubled times with bravery and bravery, but because he did not have the same fate as Su Jun, he is the most powerful among the army leaders in Xuzhou. Not top notch.However, due to his excellent performance when regaining Huaiyin a few years ago, and his bravery in the process of chasing and mopping up the enemy army, he gradually became famous and became a new general in the Xuzhou army system.

Except for the elite Xuzhou army commanded by Li Hong, the rest of these troops are mostly state and county soldiers and private soldiers of each army leader.The number is quite watery, and there is no shortage of exaggeration. One is that the military leaders boast of their military strength, and the other is that many soldiers are privately led by the military leaders.

But even so, the military forces gathered around Surabaya far surpassed the rebellious army in Nozawa.Not to mention that outside of this layer of siege, there are still several groups of people watching and helping each other.From the perspective of military strength alone, Liu Zheng's rebellious army hiding in the wilderness really can't make any waves.However, a few years have passed, and instead of being wiped out, the rebellious army is faintly growing. For the Xuzhou army, this is really an unspeakable embarrassment.

Xia Xiangling Chun Yu'an was a general under the command of Linhuai prefect Mi Tong. He was located in the Xiaxiang County area, which was near Qingshuize, and was the front line to suppress the rebel army.

Chunyu'an's ancestral home was in Langya Fei County, and his Nandu was still raging and mopping up the place after the Shihu of Jie State defeated Cao Yi in Qingzhou. Order has been created out of chaos.Chun Yu'an led hundreds of villagers to the south, and the situation was difficult. It was not easy to obtain a habitat among a group of tiger and wolf-like militiamen without being wiped out.

Therefore, Chun Yu'an only led the crowd to be active in the area of ​​Linhuai, and did not dare to go too far south.Those few years were the most brutal and fierce battle between the north and the south. It was really not easy for their small team to survive in the cracks. Chunyu'an was less than forty years old, his beard and hair were already gray, and his face was old. Revealed, we can see the torment of survival.

Chun Yu'an is not a talent for fighting bravely, when it comes to martial bravery, he is even inferior to ordinary veterans.He was originally just a Confucian scholar. In his early years, he served as a clerk in Cao Yi's army. Cao Yi fled back to his hometown after failing to be executed.Many people who were braver and stronger than him have already died, but he survived, naturally he has his own unique means.

And his trick, to put it bluntly, is not new, but it seems a bit pedantic and ridiculous in this troubled world, that is, to push people to be kind.He is not keen on hurting others, and he will help those who are in trouble. He has no aggressiveness or harmfulness, and no one came to kill him on purpose, so he survived in the troubled times.Moreover, the gathering of the tribe is getting bigger and bigger, and there are already thousands of families following him.

The private soldiers of the Xuzhou Army have a strong nature, and the general's temperament has a great influence on the ethos of the army.Therefore, Chun Yu'an's army is also considered an outlier among the aggressive Xuzhou army. It has almost no lethality. Tough battles are a big deal. , and actively seized meritorious deeds to enclose land, as a result, Chunyu'an's army was only arranged to transport luggage and other trivial matters.

If it was another general, he would naturally not be able to bear this treatment.You must know that the Jie army had been defeated at that time, and there were no strong opponents in Huaibei, at most it was just some defeated bandits or village armed forces.Moreover, for these military leaders, a considerable part of what territory they conquered and what people and things they captured can be counted as their own spoils of war.Such a good situation, how willing to fall behind!

Transporting supplies is obviously a thankless task, and it is worthless in itself, and if it is delayed, it will be blamed and held accountable by those ardent generals.But Chun Yu'an didn't complain about it, he just tried his best to complete his task, even if he made a mistake, when others saw that he was a well-known soft goods and good man, they would at most yell and scold him, but they didn't go too far.

The reason why the generals are so enthusiastic is also because after these years of running-in around Guangling, the interest relationship has already been formed.However, the large area of ​​Huaibei cannot be set foot in for a long time. Those with little power want to use this to strive to surpass and strengthen themselves, while those with great power have no reason to fall behind and want to strengthen themselves.In particular, the Xuzhou Army has always adhered to the distribution principle of whoever wins, whoever wins, which naturally intensifies people's belligerence.

Chun Yu'an himself had neither great talent nor ambitions, and he was quite at ease with the situation, so he was able to remain indifferent about it.After the recovery of the whole territory of Xuzhou, it is true that there is no place for him in Huaibei for meritorious deeds.

Last year, Xi Jian organized an encirclement and suppression campaign against the rebel army, and there were more than ten thousand troops. But before the main force of the rebellion was found, the Xuzhou army broke up in disputes and several people were wiped out, including Chun Yu'an's previous subordinates. order.

Xiaxiang is close to Qingshuize, and the area is also convenient for boats and vehicles, which is quite a foundation for a land of fish and rice.Although they were too close to the rebellious army, all the generals in Xuzhou knew that the rebellious army seemed stubborn, so they did not dare to leave Nozawa too far to attack the Xuzhou garrison.So after this fat vacancy was vacated, it was quite coveted.You must know that once you can fill this vacancy, you will not only gain an official position and fame, but also have a good foundation, from which your own military strength can grow rapidly.

But unexpectedly, this place was vacant for several months, and all parties were fighting for it. In the end, it was Chun Yu'an who was appointed as the Prime Minister.This result is really surprising.

Regarding this result, Chun Yu'an was also very helpless, he didn't fight or grab, he just wanted to spend the rest of his life in peace, but a big pie fell from the sky and fell directly on his mouth, even if he wanted to refuse, he didn't have the guts.

Because when he was appointed, Xi Jian, the governor of Xuzhou, personally met him and told him: "Liu Zheng's rebellion is only a temporary disease. The reason why it is difficult to eradicate is that it is difficult to calm down in the countryside. Chunyu Junren grows a gentleman, The outside and the inside are pure, if we can govern the other country, and promote benevolence to everyone, the people will be safe and secure in their hometown, and they will never have the idea of ​​being a thief again."

When Xi Gong said this, it can be seen that he has already understood the thoughts of the military leaders below, and there is no lack of indignation in his words.Although the terrain around Surabaya is complicated, it is by no means an insurmountable dead end like Dajiang. If they are willing to encircle and suppress with all their heart, how could the rebel army survive till now!
In the final analysis, the various ministries still do not want to fight, do not want to fight.There is such a variable in the environment. Although some people feel like a thorn in their backs and cannot rest in peace, for most people, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.One of the most obvious examples is, if there were no rebels, how could there be a vacancy in Xiaxiang County?
Moreover, in recent years, Xi Gong's attitude has gradually become tougher, making all the supporters of the army in the town feel uneasy. There is such a hidden danger in the situation. The existence of the army will therefore cast a wary weapon and dare not excessively interfere with the private affairs of the various armies.From this aspect, the existence of Liu Zheng's rebellious army is a kind of guarantee for the various army leaders.

Moreover, the peasants in the countryside are ignorant of the general trend, but they are the most pragmatic. The military leaders extort money from the local area and abuse the people, which is tantamount to pushing these people into the wild.After these people entered Nozawa, they turned to the rebels. On the one hand, they held the rebellion's breath so that they would not die. Naturally, the military leaders of all parties can also share a layer of profit.On the contrary, these people stay in the countryside and do not move, which will make them dare not go too far.

Therefore, Xi Jian chose Chun Yu'an, a benevolent and indisputable person, to sit on the front line, which is not only a signal, but also an attempt.

Chun Yu'an didn't expect that even if he didn't fight or fight, he still couldn't avoid being involved in it in the end.He dared not refuse Xi Jian's appointment.And the other military leaders, he did not dare to offend.Therefore, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take office. The first thing he did was to move the county seat to the southeast away from Qingshuize, and he planned to run away if the situation was not good.

This intention is indeed a bit cowardly, but he himself is not a military talent, and Xi Jian must be aware of this, and he does not expect him to be able to defend the country.And in the county, he seldom asked about things, except for occasionally leading the crowd to patrol around Qingshuize a few times, he seldom did other things.

But it was this kind of inaction that made Dazhi.Since Chun Yu'an took office, the people in the territory almost never escaped from Nozawa, but gradually stabilized.Moreover, the rebellious army did not launch an attack on Xiaxiang County. One is that they are not strong enough. Two, they cannot be so smart about the news from Nozawa. Is it a trap set by the Xuzhou Army?

As a result, Chun Yu'an actually ranked first among the officials in the evaluation of counties and counties in the New Year.Such a result also made Chun Yu'an a little dumbfounded. He originally planned to get rid of this hot position for the crime of neglecting political affairs.But because of his neglect, not only did the villagers not flee, but many refugees flocked to settle in Nozawa. He couldn't send troops to set up a card to keep these people out, could he?

In the short term, I don't want to get rid of this position anymore, Chun Yu'an can only appoint, cheer up and organize the villagers to repair military affairs.He believed that this peace would not last long, and no matter which party harbored ill intentions towards him, they probably couldn't help but do it.

Chun Yu'an was not a leader of the army. Although he had thousands of households, the reason why these people took refuge in him was because he lived indifferently and was not violent.Therefore, his soldiers are only in the early three hundred, and there is no combat effectiveness at all.Although after he became Prime Minister, the Governor's Mansion dispatched seven hundred soldiers to him, adding up to thousands.Even with the addition of county officials and civilians, 600 soldiers can be assembled, but the combat effectiveness is really appalling.

During the recent period, Chun Yu'an also interviewed some township clans in the county, and talked about the predicament.Probably because Chun Yu'an really won the hearts of the people, or he was worried that a cruel superior would come after Chun Yu'an was killed. Those village clans could also understand his difficulties. The contingent of men also scraped together a sum of money and bought some bows and knives from Huainan that could arm 2000 people.

On this day, after inspecting around the county seat, Chun Yu'an had just returned to the government office when he heard a report from his subordinates that several people had been captured around Nozawa, and threatened to see him and report something urgent.

After hearing this, Chun Yu'an couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart. If someone else encountered this situation, he would probably still be puzzled, wondering who the other party was and why he came here.But in his life experience, there are too many uninvited guests of this kind, and there are many kinds of intentions.

"Hurry up and bring this person to the county office!"

Chun Yu'an didn't even have time to take off his heavy armor, so he hurriedly ordered his disciples to say.

After waiting for about half an hour, there were chaotic footsteps outside the door, and three men and two women were escorted into the office immediately.These people were still wet and even covered with water plants, and their faces were pale and frightened. It seemed that the two women, the old and the young, were the main ones. Although the other three were also frightened, they followed the two women, looking like they were desperately fighting. A gesture of loyalty.

"You are?"

Seeing that these people seemed to be swimming out of Noze, Chunyu An felt another burst of heart.

"Cheap, stupid...foolish woman sees, sees..."

The slightly elderly woman took a step forward, prostrating, the corners of her lips twitched as if she didn't know how to address her, her face full of restraint and fear.

"You don't need to be too polite, who sent you here? What is your intention? You might as well come directly."

Seeing this, Chun Yu'an squeezed out a warm smile on his face, and signaled his subordinates to step up and help the woman up.

"My, my grandpa's name is Wang Xue, and he is a soldier in Zeli. He said that Junhou spared his life. He is a fellow townsman, Da Ren... Grandpa asked my mother and me to tell Jun Hou, Zeli Houye, no, we have been walking for two nights, and we are going to send troops to attack here tonight. Grandpa begs you to protect my mother and me..."

The younger lady didn't have much fear, but was very terrified: "Jun, are you going to kill my grandpa tonight? He doesn't want to, he really..."

Sure enough!

When Chun Yu'an heard what the little lady said, his heart suddenly sank. He is not a brave general, and his subordinates have nothing to follow. He has been able to struggle through the troubled times until now, and he has made friends with kindness. Whenever danger comes, there are many people who take risks. To sue, so often able to avoid disasters.

But Chunyu An really didn't know what the little lady said about Wang Xue.He also didn't have a purposeful kindness to win over others, so he didn't remember it very well every time he gave favors to others. Many people had received his favors and disappeared without a trace, but there were also some people who reciprocated with kindness, and he no longer remembered.But it wasn't long before he came to the photoshop. Since he is from Zeli and a fellow villager...

After thinking about it for a while, Chun Yu'an remembered that when he first came here, he had a great sense of urgency in his heart, fearing that he would be attacked by the Zezhong rebels, so he gathered manpower around Nozawa to be vigilant.At that time, dozens of fishermen from Zeli were captured. Among them was an old soldier with pock marks on his face. During interrogation, he said that he was from Fei County in Langya, which happened to be his fellow villager.

Chunyu An was not a bloodthirsty person, and those fishermen were obviously poor villagers, so they couldn't bear to do harm.At that time, he planned to place these people in Xiaxiang County, so that they would not be killed by thieves again.But his fellow countryman cried and begged for mercy, saying that Zezhong still had his wife and children, if he stayed, his wife and children might not be able to save their lives.

So Chun Yu'an let him go, it seemed that the mother and daughter in front of him were the family members of his fellow countryman.Thinking that he had to return to Zezhong no matter what at that time, he knew that his family had a strong affection, but now he sent out his family members who regarded him as his life to report to him for trust and protection.

"Little lady, you don't need to be too polite. I really don't dare to take the name of a lord. Although your father and I don't have a deep friendship, since we are from the same town and have a strong bond, I will try my best to keep you safe. But what else does your father say?" , can you tell me in detail?"

Chun Yu'an spoke with Yan Yuese, but he was not in a relaxed mood.Nozawa's rebellious army would send troops to attack, and he never thought about it by chance, so he has been doing his best to cultivate martial arts recently.The other party came together, probably already figured out his details, but few people in his territory went deep into Nozawa. The enemy got an insight so quickly, so it is very likely that they got the news from elsewhere.

These few people stumbled and talked very confusedly, Chun Yu'an also listened patiently, and managed to sort out a clue.

His fellow countryman Wang Xue was able to get ahead in the rebellion army with his fishing and hunting skills. It can be imagined that the rebellion army was in danger at that time, and it was very likely that it would be in danger of collapse.You must know that the army of suppressing the rebellion has never relied on the military. Tens of thousands of people gathered in the wilderness. of.

However, according to these people's narrations, the situation of the rebel army has improved recently, and they frequently plunder outside and often get something.And from his words, it can be seen that it is as easy as picking up, and everything you get is what is in short supply in the lake, as if with the help of a god.

Hearing this, even though Chunyu An was indifferent by nature, he couldn't help covering his face and sighing for a while.The rebellious army is not as if there is a god to help, but a national thief to help!
Different from Wang Xue's chaotic perspective, Chun Yu'an's status in Xuzhou is not low now, so he can learn more inside information.Since the second half of last year, the rebel army has frequently invaded outside, and the colleagues in the town also gathered to discuss it. At that time, most of them were optimistic. Take the risk to go ashore and plunder.

At that time, Xi Gong was also overjoyed, and even arrived in Pengcheng himself, and made several encirclement and suppression arrangements against the rebel army, but the rebel army was too cunning and often missed.Later, when the emperor got married, Xigong was going to return to the capital to celebrate, and the military had to be distributed to the generals, so the matter was put on hold for now.However, each army also went into the suppression separately, and gained a lot of money.Afterwards, the rebellious army fell into desperation and succeeded in frequent attacks, and the two sides have gradually started fighting for real.

Chun Yu'an was also wary because the rebel army suddenly became active, worried that they would take the risk of attacking his target in a big county, but in fact he still had optimism in his heart.Because judging from the reports of military achievements, the rebellious army was really at a disadvantage and was just dying.

Now hearing what Wang Xue's family members said, no matter where the rebel army suffered heavy casualties and jumped the wall in a hurry, it was clear that they had already had substantial cooperation with one or several powerful military leaders in the surrounding area.The rebellious army gave up the lives of the people in Nozawa, and whitewashed the military achievements of those army leaders.The military leaders are responsible for finding targets for them on land and replenishing supplies!
Unfortunately, Xiaxiang County, where Chunyu'an was located, became a target this time!
Thinking of this, Chunyu An's heart was full of sadness, and at the same time, he was not lacking in guilt.That fellow Wang Xue is also a hard-working person, and it can be said that he was blessed by heaven to be able to make his way in the wild. He didn't have to take the risk to inform himself, but he couldn't give up his kindness. He probably wanted to take the opportunity to send his wife and daughter to a safe place and stop participating To this kind of iniquity.

But this time, it was obvious that the dissatisfaction of some other military leaders in Xu Zhen had already been put into action.Even if I can find out about the danger first, the people behind me may not allow me to escape from this situation!In this chaotic world, the enemy is not annoying, it is the aliens among the companions who are annoying!

"Send the two ladies and disciples down to rest."

Chunyu An didn't care about life and death. Even if he cared about it before, after getting used to life and death, he knew he couldn't force it.He just regrets that the place where the prime minister is a prime minister, and the people will suffer again.I also feel sorry for the hard work of his fellow villager Wang Xue, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the commission this time.

After sitting in the hall for a while, suddenly there was another report from the door, a large caravan passed by and asked to enter the county to rest for a night.

"Tell them, if there is a deal to be completed as soon as possible, leave the county quickly!"

After hearing this, Chun Yu'an's heart was moved. Right now, the merchants are naturally accompanied by guards, and the county is short of armed forces.But after thinking about it, right now this place has been restrained, and it is about to die, there is no point in dragging another hundred people to be buried with them, and there is no way to guarantee the origin of those people, and it will lead wolves into the house, so he waved his hands and said in a somewhat dispirited manner.

The subordinate took his leave and left, and after another half a quarter of an hour, he walked in again with an ugly expression on his face.

"What's the matter?"

Chun Yu'an is now thinking about how to save as many lives as possible in the county. He can't save everyone, but some family members who have followed him for a long time and the family members entrusted to him by Wang Xue, isn't it? There is no way to secretly send it out, but the danger is still not small.After being interrupted from thinking, he was unavoidably irritable. Looking up, he saw that besides a few subordinates, there were more than a dozen strong men walking in the room.

"Liu Di, the owner of the Huainan Governor's Mansion, has seen the Ming Mansion. Knowing that he will be captured by the enemy when he returns to the country, Shen Dudu sent the last general to lead [-] soldiers in Huainan to help enter the country. This is the entry warrant issued by the Governor's Mansion Fuling and Xigong , please verify the Ming government."

One of the dozen or so brave men walked out, took out a few talisman tokens from his pocket, and placed them in front of Chunyu'an's case.

　What I wrote in these chapters is a state of troubled times that I imagined. In fact, the defects of the system or class are different from the angles, and the results of the analysis are also different.Some chaos is fake chaos, and some chaos is real chaos. If it is real chaos, people's hearts will be chaotic. If you have a little idea, you don't want to live a good life.But many talents and ambitions do not match, harming myself and others.In addition, this is a [-]-word chapter, and it was posted together in two more. . .
