Chapter 113 Five counties attack Taihang

Sun Yin said: "The great master has valued me and recommended me as the third master. I am very grateful. I am speaking out today to solve the problem of the five counties attacking the mountain. Everyone knows that the five counties will attack the mountain, but what they don't know is that they will not attack at the same time." Mountain. So my strategy is very simple, divide it and attack it!"

One leader said: "But we can't win even if we just attack all the way!"

"Yes!" "That's right!"

Sun Yin continued: "Isn't there still our Baishi Village? You elected me as the leader of the alliance, isn't it just to face Qin Ting's attack!"

"Can your Baishi Village win?"

Sun Yin said with a smile: "If we attack from five directions together, we may still be unable to reach it, but if we attack only one way, it will be more than enough!"

Seeing that all the leaders agreed, Yuan Lun stood up and said: "Since you all have no objections, I will make arrangements. The two thousand county soldiers from Shangdang County, Taiyuan County, Hengshan County, and the direction will be led by seven nearby The big commander will lead fourteen junior commanders to defend. Julu County and Handan County are close to Baishi Village. I, Baishi Village, will be responsible for the solution with ten senior commanders and thirty junior commanders. What do you think?"

None of the leaders had any objections, so Yuan Lun said everyone could leave.

Thirty-sixth year of Qin Shihuang

A meteorite fell in Dongjun. A shadow guard in Dongjun realized that this was a good opportunity to slander the reputation of the Qin Dynasty, and immediately told the person in charge of the idea, so the shadow guard immediately took advantage of the fact that the county government did not react. , someone wrote a line of characters in small seal script on a meteorite that fell locally: "The First Emperor died and the earth was divided."

When the governor of Dongjun learned about it, he didn't dare to hide it and hurriedly sent people to Xianyang. When the First Emperor learned about it, he sent the censor to interrogate him. When he saw that no one confessed, he arrested and executed all the residents living near the stone. The fire pin melted the stone and demoted the governor of Dongjun into exile.

However, this sentence was still spread by those who were interested, and there was a commotion in the world, especially in the old lands of the Six Kingdoms, where undercurrents were surging.

When the county chiefs around Dongjun learned that the governor of Dongjun had been dismissed and exiled, they immediately ordered to check whether there were any strange things under their jurisdiction, and if there were any, they quickly destroyed them. In this case, the chiefs of Handan County and Julu County, which are closest to Dongjun, approved the approval of the two subordinate counties to enter the mountains to suppress bandits, and issued official documents and tiger talismans.

Although the First Emperor said that he did not take this incident seriously, he increased the intensity of recruiting corvees because his tomb had not yet been completed. As a result, the number of people fleeing to the Taihang Mountains increased sharply. Tai'a County was wiped out in time. The bandit dens within the county flourished again.

The county soldiers of Handan County were the first to set off. This time Yuan Lun got the news directly from the county government, so he could make plans in advance.

As Yuan Lun's deputy general, Sun Yin gathered a thousand elites from the village, plus ten commanders and thirty small commanders, a total of 41,000 bandit troops. Based on the previous experience of Hanoi County, Handan County first Two thousand troops were sent, and the queen of Julu County also sent two thousand troops.

If they faced each other head-on, except for the thousand men of Baishi Village who could hold off the soldiers of the two counties for a while, relying on the descendants of the Bai clan as the backbone of the army, the other bandit armies would only be defeated in one blow, but the soldiers of Baishi Village would cause It was a very painful price, and many of the Bai family's few descendants would be sacrificed.

Sun Yin suggested that Yuan Lun's troops should be divided into two groups, and have five commanders and twenty junior commanders with a total of 25,000 people go to block the army in the direction of Julu. After the county soldiers in the direction of Handan were completed, they could go to deal with Julu. County soldiers.

Three days later, the bandit army of 21,000 people arrived not far in front of the Handan County soldiers. By this time, many strongholds had been wiped out.

Yuan Lun ordered 15,000 Xiaozhai troops to come forward to provoke, as long as they showed their true capabilities, and then asked 5,000 Dazhai soldiers to line up in front of a valley. They only needed to resist for a moment, and the Baishizhai soldiers would rush out.

When the Handan County soldiers were cleaning the loot from the stronghold, a scout came to report that there were bandits all over the mountains and plains. When the county captain heard this, he knew that military glory was coming, and immediately summoned the whole team and said that he would go out of the stronghold to meet the enemy.

At this time, a general came out and said to the county captain: "My lord, I will lead some of my men to stay in the stronghold and take care of the loot!"

The county lieutenant didn't think much, leaving a hundred people behind, and hurried out to meet the enemy. The county lieutenant still had basic military qualities. He first asked everyone to line up in order, waiting for the bandits to charge into the formation.

The bandit army on the opposite side saw that there were many more people on their side than on the other side. They quickly lost their patience and rushed forward in scattered pieces, and then all of them. When the county captain saw that the bandits were approaching, he ordered the crossbowmen to release arrows.

There were too many people on the opposite side. If you just shoot a few arrows, you can hit someone. Dozens of people fell down in response. In the second round, there were dozens more people. The momentum of the bandit army slowed down, but the front was pushed forward by the back. Had to step forward.

The two sides collided, and the bandits fell like leeks. A quarter of an hour later, the front of the bandits collapsed, taking the ones behind them with them. When the county captain saw this, he immediately ordered a pursuit. The county soldiers killed them all the way until they chased them to a valley. The bandits disappeared after entering a small bend.

When the county soldiers got closer, they saw five thousand bandits waiting for them. The county soldiers immediately stopped and the county captain ordered to form a team. The county soldiers only lost a hundred people in the battle just now. The county lieutenant waited for a long time, but the bandits from the opposite side did not rush forward.

However, the county captain did not panic at all. He chuckled and led the remaining 1,800 county soldiers to advance slowly. The county soldiers were slightly out of breath because their physical strength was exhausted after a battle.

The county lieutenant ordered to advance forward while shooting arrows. The bandits had no shields and the formation was a bit chaotic, but they did not collapse under the pressure of the five leaders. Seeing that the time had come, the county lieutenant immediately asked his men to rush forward and the two armies connected. As time passed, just when the bandit army could no longer hold on, Baishizhai came from behind and surrounded the county soldiers from the front and rear. While the county lieutenant was concentrating on dealing with the enemy in front of him, some county soldiers shouted " There are enemies in the rear!"

The county lieutenant turned around and saw that three of the seven souls were scared away. The Baishi Village soldiers quickly collided with the county soldiers. The Baishi Village soldiers were slightly more elite than the county soldiers, not to mention that there were a hundred white soldiers among them. Weiwei.

The county soldiers were killed by the Baishizhai soldiers behind them. The county soldiers collapsed, and there were enemies one after another. The bandits also beat up the fallen dogs. The morale that was about to collapse suddenly rose higher than the sky, and they even screamed with excitement.

Many county soldiers knelt down and surrendered. Some bandits were furious and wanted to continue killing, but were stopped by the Baishizhai County soldiers. A conflict broke out between the two sides. Seeing this situation, Yuan Lun said to the five commanders: "The people of Guishan Village What a passionate temperament!”

The five leaders couldn't help but immediately stepped forward to scold them, and the scene suddenly calmed down.

In this battle, Baishizhai soldiers suffered very little losses. The bandit army lost more than 3,000 people in total, 1,000 county soldiers died, and 800 surrendered. Yuan Lun asked his men to lead one hundred people to bring back the prisoners, and led the remaining nine hundred people and the bandit army of four thousand generals to the direction of the Julu County soldiers.

As for the other small commanders' armies, they had already disappeared.

After marching for two days, everyone arrived at the battlefield of Julu County. Yuan Lun had sent out scouts to find out the news. The scouts reported that our army was being chased all over the mountains and plains.

After hearing this, Yuan Lun said to everyone: "Okay, there is no need to find someone to lure you, just ambush on the spot!"

The 4,800 people quickly disappeared. When it comes to ambushing and robbing people, these bandits are experts! Look at how they are hiding one by one. You can't find them at all.

After a while, bandit troops were constantly escaping. Five thousand bandits were fleeing in front, and nearly two thousand county soldiers were chasing behind them.

After letting the bandit army go, the county soldiers had already chased them to the designated position. Yuan Lun gave the order to attack, and then 800 people stood up and charged directly. Seeing this, the other bandits also followed behind and rushed forward. Their momentum was even greater than that of the Baishi Village soldiers.

The county soldiers were completely overwhelmed by the impact and were soon submerged in the sea of ​​people. It has to be said that the bandits were so powerful in fighting against the wind that not a single county soldier escaped the capture of the bandits. Why not kill?
Because Yuan Lun had already told them that it was more cost-effective to catch one with ten bushels of grain and to kill one with five bushels of grain.

Not a single county soldier from Julu County escaped, 300 of them died, and 1,700 of them were all captured.

After everyone cleaned up the battlefield, they withdrew their troops and went home.

The army returned directly to the stronghold, and each leader followed Yuan Lun back to Baishi stronghold to receive the reward. For bandits that have been captured and captured, food will be distributed to their respective commanders according to the quantity, and then different quantities of weapons and treasures will be given to each commander according to their contribution.

After the rewarded commander returned to the village, he immediately expanded the number of soldiers in the village, and some even expanded the number to two thousand. Some leaders did not distribute the rewards given by Baishi Village to their subordinates, but instead kept them for themselves.

After two years of exploration and verification, Yuan Lun and the other two people already knew the strength of the bandits in the Taihang Mountains and the situation in the village, and they were ready to take action.

Many villagers suddenly joined some new people, and they soon gained the attention of some small leaders in the village, because these people told them that as long as they killed the leaders and accepted the direct leadership and adaptation of Baishi Village, everyone in the village could Eat well.

After the good prospects and heavy rewards, coupled with the fact that the leader did not distribute the rewards from Baishi Village, but instead took them for himself, several large villages immediately held a conflagration. With the help of Baishi Village's people and money, these mountain villages The situation soon changed.

But on the surface, they are still an independent copycat. Relevant personnel in Baishi Village immediately began to fill these few cottages. With the talents accumulated by the Bai family for many years, they quickly took control of several cottages, and the village soldiers also began to receive formal military training.

Yuan Lun, Su Xun, and Sun Yin were writing a joint letter to Bai Qing to explain the results of the war during this period.

The included cottages include five large villages and twenty small villages. One year later, the available troops in Baishi Village were 1,000 old soldiers and 7,000 new soldiers.

On the other side, the county guards of Handan County and Julu County were very angry after being wiped out by the bandit-suppressing army. The magistrate of the county shouted angrily: "This is a bandit? You tell me this is what a bandit can do." of?"

Then the county magistrates of the two counties were petitioned to be removed by the central government. When the other three counties that had not sent troops heard the news, they quickly scolded the magistrates of the three counties in the Taihang Mountains and said, "If you want to die, don't take me with you!"

When Ying Zheng heard that the bandits in the Taihang Mountains had not yet been wiped out and were even getting worse, he ordered the dispatch of county soldiers to wipe them out. The governors of Handan and Julu counties said that the losses were too great and they were unable to suppress the bandits again. The three counties of Taiyuan, Shangdang and Hengshan said that the counties were unstable and could not send troops.

Only the governor of Hanoi County turned to the county captain and requested to deal with the Taihang Mountain bandits, but asked Linjun to help defend Hanoi County. The central government wrote a letter to express its agreement, and then the central government's Hu Fu also arrived, appointing the Hanoi County Lieutenant as the Ping Kou General to suppress the bandits in the Taihang Mountains.
