A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 115 Accident, first righteousness

July
The battle to attack Baishi Village has lasted for a month. After constant fighting, both sides suffered huge losses. The county soldiers suffered 5,000 casualties, Baishi Village suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the anti-Baishi Alliance suffered more than 50,000 casualties.

This has led to many copycats being declared extinct. During this month, in addition to using bandits as human shields, Pinggou general Ren Kai also used methods such as cutting off water, setting fire to the mountains, attacking at night, and attacking the heart.

However, they were all destroyed by Baishi Village one by one. The casualties of the county soldiers were already very high. Ren Kai did not want to increase the casualties. If the losses continued like this, even if Baishi Village was captured, he would not be able to avoid punishment.

Ren Kai decided to implement a long-term siege plan. He sent 10,000 troops to surround Baishi Mountain, and sent 4,000 county soldiers to form a food protection team to protect the army's food routes from bandits in the mountains.

In Baishi Village, Bai Qing sat high on the throne, accompanied by Yuan Lun and three others below.

"Is there enough food in the village?"

"Reporting to the head of the family, we have collected enough food before the Qin army arrived. Together with the family's old food, it is enough to feed 50,000 people for half a year."

"Where's the water?"

"There is spring water on the mountain. We had predicted it before and enough wells have been drilled. There will be no shortage of water for the time being."

Bai Qing nodded, and Su Xun asked: "Master, what if the Qin army doesn't withdraw after half a year?"

Bai Qing smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have been prepared. I was prepared before I went up the mountain. I sent people to sneak into Hanoi County early. If the Qin army has not retreated after half a year, I will ask them to contact the local Bai Qing." With the surname Gong, he incited the people to revolt.

Ren Kai brought almost all the county soldiers in Hanoi County. If there was a problem in the rear, even if he was unwilling, he would have to withdraw his troops and return to defense. "

"The master is wise!"

Bai Qing waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite, and then said: "Nowadays, Qin's power is still very strong, and the name of the Bai family is not yet popular in the world. If it is exposed, considering the close distance between Taihang Mountain and Guanzhong, The Qin army will definitely regard us as the biggest threat.

Therefore, we still need to be patient. When the Qin army shows its flaws, we can defeat the Qin army in one battle and relieve the suffering of the common people in the world. "

"We will advance and retreat together with the family, punish the Qin Dynasty, attack the unjust, and punish the people for their crimes!"

November

The Qin army has been besieging Baishi Mountain for four months. A month ago, a heavy rain caused a cave on the mountain where food was stored to flood. A large amount of food and grass was wetted by the rain, resulting in a large loss of food and grass. The food and grass that originally lasted for half a year are now only Can support five months.

Bai Qing ordered ten Baiji guards to protect Sun Yin, go out from the secret passage in the mountain, and go to Hanoi County to let them take action in advance.

Sun Yin and his party reached the outside of the mountain through a secret passage, avoiding the patrols and hidden sentries of the Qin army. They did not enter Hanoi County directly from Taihang Mountain through Tai'a County, but turned to Handan County and entered Hanoi County westward.

Ten days later, they came to Chaoge in Handan County. They entered Chaoge as fake businessmen and then stayed as villagers who went out to purchase. After packing up, several people quickly continued their journey.

On the 20th, several people successfully arrived at Hanoi County and entered the county. They found the address Bai Qing told them, which was the door of a large family's mansion.

"Bang bang bang!"

The door creaked open a crack, and the concierge asked: "Who are you looking for, sir?"

Sun Yin saluted and said, "I'm here to visit my relatives. I'm looking for Mr. Yuanhe!" He handed over a piece of jade pendant. The concierge took the jade pendant, looked at it, and then said, "Sir, wait a moment, I'll go and report."

Sun Yin said: "It's troublesome!"

The concierge closed the door again, and Sun Yin and others stood outside the door waiting. There were only a few pedestrians outside, and the few pedestrians looked cheerful and walked faster. I also saw a petty official showing off his power in the street, and everyone around him looked frightened.

The small door next to the main door opened, and a middle-aged man saluted Sun Yin and said: "Brother, you are fine, and the master and uncle of the family are okay!"

Sun Yin replied: "Alas! My ancestor has been ill recently and his face has turned pale. As a grandson, I am really worried!"

The middle-aged man also said sadly: "Why is this happening? Come with me into the house first, and we can talk in detail later, okay?"

"Please lead the way!"

Sun Yin and others followed the middle-aged man into the house from the side door.

The middle-aged man took Sun Yin all the way to a courtyard. There were strong guards in black on both sides of the courtyard. The middle-aged man showed a token. The two guards saluted and let the middle-aged man and Sun Yin pass, and followed Sun. The few white guards who were printed stayed outside.

Entering a room, I saw a man in his mid-twenties sitting behind a few desks, looking carefully at a piece of cloth.

"Chief Guard, someone is here!" the middle-aged man said respectfully.

Sun Yin spoke first and said politely: "Sun Yin is here to deliver the master's will on the order of the family master!" After speaking, he took out a piece of white cloth from his arms.

The middle-aged man wanted to retreat, but Sun Yin stopped him and said, "Mr. Yuan, please listen together!"

So they both came to Sun Yin and saluted: "Miao Jian, the chief of the Shadow Guards of Hanoi County, respectfully requests the family master's wishes." "Zuo Yuanhe, the chief shadow guard of Hanoi County, respectfully requests the family master's wishes."

"By God, the head of the family said that things have changed at home, so the Hanoi County uprising has been advanced and must be carried out before January next year. Miao Jian, the chief of the Shadow Guards of Hanoi County, is fully responsible for this matter. Si Zuo Yuanhe fully cooperates, and Sun Shiyin is in Supervise on the side, and after the completion, Sun Yin will personally return to the house and report to me, that’s it.”

"Miao Jian got the order!" "Yuan He got the order!"

Then Sun Yin handed the decree to the two of them. They saw that the family's unique patriarch's seal was printed on it, and the "Bai Family Patriarch's Seal" was surrounded by cloud-like patterns. The most important thing was that the anti-counterfeiting mark on it was fine.

Sun Yin asked Miao Jian to keep the will, and then said: "The next thing will be left to Brother Miao and Brother Yuan!" Miao Jian said angrily: "We still need everyone to cooperate!"

Yuan He also said: "It's absolutely true!"

After the greetings were completed, Miao Jian went to contact his shadow guards to make preparations, while Yuan He also prepared to go out to contact the Bai family. Generally, the male surnamed Bai who moved outside would not say that his surname was Bai, but would only say his surname. If he really couldn't shirk it, he would also say that he was a descendant of Xia Yu.

December 15th
Just as Miao Jian, Yuan He, and Sun Yin were making all preparations to start an uprising in a few days, a piece of news disrupted all their plans.

The First Emperor died, and the much-anticipated heir to the throne, the Prince Fusu, committed suicide and was buried for the First Emperor at the Great Wall defense line. Along with General Meng Tian, ​​the successor to the throne turned out to be the Youngest Son of the First Emperor, the Prince Hu Hai.

Miao Jian didn't know what to do at this time. Will he still follow the original plan?
At this time, Sun Yin said: "We must follow the original plan. No matter who the emperor of Qin changes, the siege of Baishi Mountain is still unresolved. Now our most important thing is to rescue Baishi Mountain."

Yuan He also had an idea at this time and said: "Not only that, but it can also announce to the world that the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty encourages the people of the world to rise up against the tyranny."

Miao Jian also understood. He saw something deeper: "I heard that Young Master Hu Hai is a casual person and doesn't care about other people's feelings. Wouldn't this make him make more mistakes and accelerate Qin's destruction?"

"Exactly!"

Several people agreed on their ideas and started preparations immediately.

Ren Kai, who was far away in the Taihang Mountains, also received the news of the new emperor's enthronement. He couldn't help but feel a little flustered, because he was also the faction that firmly supported the young master Fusu. However, now it was not Fusu but Hu Hai who had ascended the throne, which put him in a dilemma. crisis.

At this time, the general on the side told him: "It is precisely because of the crisis that the general is facing now that he needs to eliminate the bandits in Taihang! Without military achievements, he will not be able to withstand risks in the future!"

Ren Kai agreed very much with the general's statement, so he determined his plan to besiege Baishi Mountain. However, contrary to expectations, a letter asking for help came from Hanoi County.

December 28

Soldiers in the five counties of Hanoi County rioted, and many people who could not stand the strict laws of the Qin Dynasty also revolted. Two of the counties had already been captured. The total strength of the rebel army is about 50,000, and they are heading towards the capital of Hanoi County at this time.

Ren Kai panicked. If the county and city were lost, he would really be wiped out by his clan. He quickly ordered the withdrawal of the troops. The general next to him said: "General, no, this Baishi Village is about to be unable to hold on. It won't take long." It can be captured. Besides, the county city has high walls and strong walls. How can a group of Guizhou chiefs attack the county city?"

But Ren Kai said: "This general knows, but I don't dare to bet!" After saying that, he immediately withdrew his troops and returned to the city.

Ha Noi County
Fifty thousand rebels surrounded the county city outside the city. There were only 5,000 county soldiers in the county city. The Hanoi county guard stood on the city wall and looked at the chaotic and unformed rebels under the city, most of whom were wearing coarse linen clothes. But they had one thing in common. The head is wrapped in a mourning cloth that is only worn during funerals.

The leaders of the 50,000 rebel army are Sun Yin, Miao Jian, and Yuan He. The composition of the rebel army is very complicated. Most of them are ordinary Guizhou soldiers, but there are some county soldiers who have received some training, and there are also sons of the public family named Bai.

Sun Yin divided the army into three parts, led by three people respectively. The backbone was filled by the sons of the public family. After all, they were educated and much better than the leaders of Guizhou. Sun Yin also compiled an elite force of 5,000 people, composed of trained county soldiers as the basis and family members who knew a little bit about military affairs as the backbone. They called themselves the Bai Family Army.

The Bai family army was led by Yuan He, because Yuan He was the leader of the Bai family in Hanoi County. Miao Jian was responsible for intelligence support, and Sun Yin was responsible for commanding the army. Yuan He saw the height of the county and said to Sun Yin: "General Sun, it's not easy to fight! I'm afraid many people will die!"

Sun Yin looked at Yuan He. During this period of contact, he knew that Yuan He was a person who had almost never seen blood. He was indecisive and he couldn't be more suitable to describe him.

"Brother Yuan is scared?"

"General Sun was joking, maybe a little, but I'm worried that the family members have sacrificed too much."

Sun Yin looked at the county and said unintentionally: "How can anyone not die in a war?"

Yuan He wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Miao Jian and had to give up.

Yuan He came to the Bai family army's camp, where the soldiers were exercising and training battle formations.

Yuan He walked along the way. The passing soldiers, as long as they were members of the public clan, would stand up and shout respectfully when they saw Yuan He: "General!"

Yuan He greeted them very skillfully, "Okay, Jiang Hao, train hard, try to kill more, and bring glory to the clan!"

"General, don't worry. Although my clan has moved away from the family for more than a hundred years, our heart is still with the family."

"Well! Go and tell everyone that when the Qin army is defeated, the people will not be so miserable. As long as the family comes to govern the world, everyone can live a prosperous life. Isn't the Bai Kingdom the best proof in the past? ?”

"It's the general. If Qin Gou hadn't burned all the letters, I would still be teaching in the countryside. It's really hateful!"

Yuan He patted Zong Jianghao on the shoulder and said: "Everything will be fine. As long as the family is still there, the world will not be so completely rotten, and there will still be hope for a rise!"

"I've always believed it"

"By the way, how are you doing, grandpa? I went to your hometown three years ago to review the genealogy, or was it your family that let me stay?"

"Grandpa has left."

"My condolences, then you have to fight for your family!"

"General!"

"Let's go! Go and train!"
