I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 634, Desolate Sichuan

Zhao Yun led 1 horsemen into three groups and entered Ba County and Shu County respectively.Among the three places in Guanghan County, Zhao Yun entered Guanghan County with [-] troops to clear up the local Dagan army and rioters, because he noticed that the people who rebelled in the middle of Shu were the largest number of people in Guanghan County, and there should be members of the core of Dagan here. it's here.

He wants to have a beheading battle, directly kill the leader of the Dagan army sent to Shuzhong, and quickly eliminate the rebellion in Shuzhong, or delay more time, the rebellion in Shuzhong will definitely affect the Han army on the front line, and Hanzhong They can't afford to lose the battle!

Zhao Yun led the army quickly to Guanghan County. What he saw along the way from Baishuiguan made him worried, because the villages along the way were very desolate and quiet, and there were few people in sight. Even if he saw them, they were some gray-haired old people. Because the people who are a little bit younger and stronger are transporting grain and grass, especially in Guanghan County, which is close to the front line, even strong women are starting to transport grain and grass, so naturally there are no people in the village.The land around the village is not planted with rice at all, but overgrown with weeds, and it looks lifeless. On the side of the road, you can even see the bones of Leilei. He knows that these are the exhausted peasants.

This made Zhao Yun think of the scene of war in Jizhou, Changshan County was like this, it was a doomsday scene, Zhao Yun couldn't accept such troubled times, so he turned to Liu Bei to save the big man!
But he didn't expect that after more than two years of war in the middle of Shu, it was destroyed as it is now. The people in the whole of Shu were thrown into the war, and they no longer had the energy to grow food.The people's food reserves have all been eaten. If the war does not end this year, there will be more bones on the side of the road, and there will be a scene of thousands of miles of desolation. Millions and more!
At this time, he understood a little bit why the people in the land of Bashu rebelled. The oppression of the imperial court was too severe, and these people would not be able to survive without rebelling.The problem in central Shu cannot be solved by driving out the main army!

The conversation is divided into two parts, Zhao Yun is thinking about how to deal with the rebellious Bashu people, but the Bashu people who have rebelled are thinking about how to repel the encirclement and suppression of the Han army!
The leader of the Bashu army here is Guan Hai. He was hidden in the mountains of Mount Tai when he was in Qingzhou.

And he is also familiar with how to mobilize the people to rebel against Guan Hai, so he easily gathered more than 10 department heads in the three counties of Bashu, and more than 3 young and strong men were rescued. Liu Bei's grain road was completely blocked.The frightened Liu Bei immediately sent Zhao Yun to open up the connection between Hanzhong and Bashu!
When Guan Hai knew that Liu Bei had sent Zhao Yun to lead an army of 1 to clear them up, he was not deceived by the prosperity of Bashu.He knew that although he had 10 soldiers, they were scattered throughout the three counties of Bashu, making it difficult to concentrate his troops. Second, even if he concentrated his troops, there were only 3 young men in his hands who could actually fight.

But these young men lack weapons, equipment and training. Guan Hai knows that these people are not even as good as the militiamen. It is impossible for them to be the opponents of the 1 Han troops brought by Zhao Yun. Guan Hai experienced too many defeats in Jizhou and Qingzhou. Now, knowing that their numerical advantage is nothing to the Han army, fighting the Han army head-on is courting death!
Therefore, after Guan Hai knew that Zhao Yun's army had entered the land of Bashu, he immediately decided to let everyone hide in the deep mountains, avoid Zhao Yun's edge, and not engage in contact with the Han army.

But such a cowardly performance aroused the dissatisfaction of the people in central Shu.They have suffered a lot in the past two years, and now they have a deep hatred for the Han army.It's okay if there is no rebellion, but now they have rebelled, and of course they want to vent all the suffering they have suffered over the years on the Han army.

But now Zhao Yun has become the target of their hatred, and in the eyes of the Bashu uprising people, Zhao Yun only brought 1 people, and they felt that they had 10 people. people.They have a complete advantage in numbers, why can't they fight?

How could it be possible to beat it!At the beginning, even if their yellow turban army had a 10-fold advantage, it was difficult to defeat the Han army. Now the people of the Bashu uprising have only a 3-fold advantage. How can they have the confidence to defeat the Han army, and they are still the elite of the Han army!
The number is 10 times that of the Han army, but Guan Hai has experienced too much in defeating the battle. He knows that the person in his hands cannot be Zhao Yun's opponent!
But the uprising people in Bashu didn't listen, but said fiercely: "The general can't retreat like this, we must defeat Zhao Yun, enter Chengdu and seize the little emperor!"

These people have been suppressed for too long, how cowardly they were before, and how brave they are now, but Guan Hai knew that this was just the bravery of ordinary people. When they really met the elite of the Han army and saw their companions killed by the Han army, their courage Will melt quickly!
So Guan Hai said earnestly: "I understand everyone's desire for revenge. I want to defeat the soldiers of the big man more than everyone else. But everyone has no experience in serving in the army, let alone leading troops in battle, and Zhao Yun has fought for more than ten years. It’s been 1 years, and these [-] people are elite men, and although we outnumber them, it’s impossible for us to be their opponents.”

But these uprising people didn't listen at all: "General, don't lie to us. We have all asked about it. Although Zhao Yun has led the army for more than ten years, he has always lost battles. He has never won a few battles. We have been repeatedly defeated by your great army, such a defeated general, why can't we defeat him!"

You underestimate Zhao Yun too much, you really think you are the elite of the great army!Guan Hai could only complain secretly in his heart.

"And if we just leave like this, what will happen to the land at home? The food has just been planted, and if we retreat now, it will be in vain. The land will be abandoned next year, and we will still starve to death without food! "

This is the real reason why these people are unwilling to withdraw from the plains and enter the mountains. They are worried about the food they have just planted.

After these people robbed the money and food of the nobles, they also rescued tens of thousands of young and strong. After taking control of the countryside, the first thing the army did was not to continue fighting, but to find a way to replant the family's fields.But now that these food seeds have just been planted, they give up the land and run to the mountains again, which is difficult for these people to accept.

Guan Hai, who knew about this, persuaded: "We have enough food in our hands to survive these few months, and Zhao Yun certainly doesn't have time to continue to dawdle with us here. Our existence is the greatest harm to the big man.

Now that the Dagan army is fighting in the front, we only need to survive these few months, and the Han army will definitely be defeated. After our Dagan army enters the middle of Shu, you don't have to worry about the food problem.I can ensure that each of you can have 20 shi of food in your home, so that you can comfort yourself through this winter. "

Then Guan Hai realized that it would be difficult for Qing Zhuang to be persuaded, so he said to these prestigious old people in the middle of Sichuan: "Do you want to see your nephews wearing this simple equipment to deal with the Han army? How many people will we die by then? You are willing to see them shed blood and sacrifice like this.

When I joined the Yellow Turban Army back then, I fought against the big men with more than ten times the force, but every time we were defeated, it was us, and every time we were defeated, blood flowed into rivers, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers followed us Wan's was killed by the Han army, and you also want to see blood flow into rivers in the land of Bashu! "

After all, the old man was more conservative. After Guan Hai said this, these old people from Bashu persuaded the young and strong uprising leaders, and they changed their minds.He expressed his willingness to obey Guan Hai's order and lead everyone to flee to the deep mountains of Bashu.

In addition to a plain in Chengdu, this area of ​​central Sichuan can be said to be full of lofty mountains.Hide and hide are even simpler anomalies.After the order was issued, hundreds of thousands of people divided into more than a dozen groups and fled to the nearest deep mountains. In a short time, the entire Bashu rebel army disappeared without a trace.

When Zhao Yun's army came to Zitong County, they walked around the surrounding villages and towns, but only saw some empty villages and dilapidated Wubao, and the surrounding people disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Yun sent scouts to investigate the situation in a radius of a hundred miles. After half a day, his subordinates caught some people who hadn't escaped. From their mouths, they learned that the generals of the Dagan Army led these people to hide in the deep mountains.So what he saw were empty villages and towns!
"This is too bad, the people in the big army want to drag us all here!" Zhao Yun said with a helpless smile.This is indeed Lei Gong's confidant, and they are using the same tactics!
At the beginning, Lei Gong hid in the deep mountains of Jizhou and used guerrilla warfare tactics to escape the initial attack of the Han army, and then began to develop and grow.At that time, Zhao Yun was in Changshan, not far from the two places, so naturally he had heard about some of Lei Gong's earliest deeds.Later, the Yellow Turban Army flooded Jizhou.The rebellious common people have become the mainstream, and he wants to hide in the mountains instead.Didn't realize it's been so many years.The means of the big army have not changed at all.

But even if it is difficult to eliminate these rebellious people, Zhao Yun will continue to do so, and cannot let these rebellious people affect the grain road in Hanzhong.

Fortunately, the big man also used many methods to deal with the Dagan army. Among them, Huangfusong's method was extremely effective, limiting the Dagan to Bingzhou for 2-3 years, making it difficult for them to rush into Jizhou, so that Lei Gong could only change the offensive It can be seen that Huangfusong's method at the beginning is still effective!

Zhao Yun had no way to build a large number of fortifications in Guanghan to isolate the rebellious people in the mountains, but Zhao Yun's men were elite enough to learn from Qu Yi, and use their elites to go deep into the mountains to encircle and suppress the rebellion.

So he divided his army into multiple groups, each with 200 soldiers, and then went deep into the mountains.After more than two years of logistical encirclement and suppression in Hanzhong, Zhao Yun's army has been trained to become an elite mountain division, and the deep mountains are not much different from their homeland.Under Zhao Yun's order, his troops spread out into a fan shape and went deep into the mountains. It didn't take long before hundreds of people in Shu were captured.

After hearing the news, Zhao Yun immediately came to these common people and asked, "Why did you betray the big man? Don't you know that the general is protecting you!"

These people were too frightened to speak, but looked at Zhao Yun with a hint of cowardice and hatred.

This look made Zhao Yun extremely heartbroken. The reason why he followed Liu Bei was because he believed that Liu Bei could rebuild the big man and restore the world of the big man to normal. At this time, the way the people looked at him was different from the way they looked at corrupt officials back then. ?
All he did was to save the country and the people, but now he is a corrupt official in the eyes of the people.This made Zhao Yun unbearable.

An old man in his sixties stood up and said, "If we don't rebel, we won't be able to survive. Although the general has been kind to us for several years, in the past two years, he has robbed us of all our food because of the war. Only the elderly, weak, women and children are left at home. Yes, all three sons of my family were captured by him to fight or transport food and grass. Now I don’t even know whether I am alive or dead. I can’t live anymore. To take revenge on you officials, old man, what is there to be afraid of at my age, old man, I just want to bite you before I die, even if I can't kill you, I will make you hurt!"

The old man's words made the soldiers around Zhao Yun draw their sabers and wanted to cut the old man under the knife, but Zhao Yun stopped them, and explained to the old man sincerely: "The general did all this for the sake of the old man. Hello everyone, only by resisting the great army can life in Sichuan be better, everyone can't understand it!"

The old man sneered: "We can't live any longer now, and you still tell us about the future, and why should we understand you? When we fight hard, we are not bad to our people. They will only kill you when they enter Sichuan. Officials, what is the matter with these people? Why do you want us people to die for you officials!"

"This is the business of you officials and lords. It is you officials and lords who have to pay, but now the officials in Shuzhong are still officials. Instead, we people are going to starve to death. You actually want us to understand you, ah Pooh!"

Zhao Yun was speechless, and could only let the soldiers look after them, while he himself continued to send troops to search mountains and land to snatch these people back.On the one hand, Guan Hai let the people hide, and on the other hand, he led the young and strong to fight the Han army who entered the deep mountains!

The two sides fought for more than a month. Guan Hai's command ability was not as good as that of Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun snatched back more than 1 people. The food road from Zhongzhong to Hanzhong, now the food transported from Shuzhong to Hanzhong not only needs civilian labor, but also sends a large army to guard, it can be said that the consumption has more than doubled.
