Shu Chen

Chapter 555

When Liao Shi rebelled in the past, Wu Dang sent people to send letters to Chengdu. Emperor Liu Chan felt his loyalty, so he issued an edict to give him the post of Jianzhong General and Jiaozhou Governor, so that he can continue to hide his strength and bide his time, and wait for the right time.

At that time, he felt a little emotional and a little melancholy.

With emotion, it is natural that the loyalty of the courtiers he abides by has not been let down.

As for melancholy, I feel that I may no longer have the opportunity to belong to the banner of the Han Dynasty.

There is no way, since the big man at that time regarded returning the old capital as his top priority, and still maintained the covenant with Jiangdong, allowing him to contain the troops against the Wei Dynasty, and he may not be able to wait for the opportunity to serve the country when he is over fifty up.

But no one expected that this day would come very early.

When he learned that Jiangdong had once again broken the covenant with the great Han and turned to make peace with Wei Wei, the heat in his chest was as vigorous as a dead tree in spring.

And his behavior is becoming more and more cautious.

Gein knew that after Han and Wu turned against each other, the Jiangdong government would definitely monitor him strictly.

Although for more than 20 years, he has been keeping himself at home, farming and studying, and has never joined forces in the many rebellions in Jingnan and Jiaozhou; but he has never been an official of Wu, and everyone in Jiangdong knows that he still insists on his own words "" I know that there is Han, but I don’t know that there is Wu.”

Yes, Jiangdong knows that he still considers himself a Hanchen.

Now that Han and Wu have turned against each other and the Han army is coming south, it is not surprising that Jiangdong is wary of him.

Therefore, he did not send anyone to Nanzhong Xinggu County to contact the Han army.

Because he knew that the Han army would send people to look for him when they needed him.

Moreover, when he raised his troops in You County to respond to Marquis Guan, he failed because he could not get the rescue of the Han army. Now, of course, he will not act without authorization and repeat the same mistakes.

In fact, he was right.

Lu Dai, who was sent by Sun Quan to guard Jiaozhou, told Liu Zuan, who stayed in the east four counties of Jiaozhou, to be careful not only to guard against the invasion of the Han army from the Zangke River Valley, but also to prevent or eliminate some things that might cause rebellion. Hidden danger.

Undoubtedly, Wu Dang is such a hidden danger.

It's just that Liu Zuan didn't care too much at that time, nor did he have any murderous intentions towards Wu Dang.

In any case, when Bu Zhi served as the governor of Jiaozhou in the past, he praised Wu Dang as a loyal man who did not feel sorry for the past; The letter was forwarded to the government to prove that there was no disagreement.

But Liu Zuan did not intend to disobey Lu Dai's general orders.

It was to ask the officials of Jieyang County to ask Wu Dang's family to donate some food and fodder to the government in the name of the imminent war, and let him, as a representative of the government, solicit supplies from the surrounding barbarian (South Vietnam) tribes.

not much.

Five hundred stones of grain and fodder are enough for a tribe.

And it can be replaced by local products, cloth or leather.

In this regard, Wu Dang went happily.

Because he knew that this was Jiangdong's suspicion of him; but he felt that this was a good opportunity to arouse the dissatisfaction of the major tribes in Jieyang County with Jiangdong, and they were willing to join him in responding to the Han army!

Therefore, when he was running around to collect supplies for the government, he also took the opportunity to connect with those barbarian tribes in private, select warriors, and agree on joint incidents and other matters.

When all the tribes offered food, fodder or supplies, the Jiangdong government's wariness towards him dispelled.

And he also entangled about [-] people as he wished.

Compared with the previous time when he wrote a book and entered the temple in Chengdu, he claimed that he could gather 1000 more troops.

It is lucky to have the "generous help" of the Jiangdong government.

However, when Huo Yi sent someone to look for him, the number of troops he could muster became more than [-].

Ge Yinhuo Yi also admired his Kezhong very much, and did not deceive him in terms of strategic deployment, but clearly informed that the Han army would not stay for too long after entering Nanhai County, and had no intention of occupying this county.

Once they raised their troops, they had to make preparations for the whole family to migrate to Jiaozhi County or Bashu.

Otherwise, after the Han army swept through Nanhai County and took the sea route to Jiaozhi County to attack Lu Dai's tribe, the families of those who raised troops would inevitably usher in Jiangdong's revenge.

Such conditions made many people think of standing under the Han Banner.

There is no way, being far away from the hometown and risking the danger of hurting the clan and family, many barbarian tribes dare not try it lightly.

"Shortly after, our hometown will re-raise the Han Jing; one day, our loyal people will make the name of our hometown praised all over the world! If you believe in me, you can go together. Fu Neng, please remember the old love Don't let the matter get out, and protect the ancestral hall for those who have left their hometowns so that the four seasons sacrifices will not fall, and the tombs of our ancestors will not be damaged."

That's what Wu Dang said.

As the first scholar in the history of Jieyang County to be promoted as "Xiaolian", he exchanged his fields, acres and houses for boats without hesitation. At the time agreed by Huo Yi, he pretended to be a trade fleet and went by sea to look at the port of Panyu County.

Perhaps, it is God's favor for loyal people.

It was the season of frequent and sudden hurricanes (typhoons) in the South China Sea, and Wu Dang's fleet arrived at the port of Panyu County smoothly without being hit by wind and waves.

As soon as they arrived, Dang even took advantage of the unpreparedness of the garrison to occupy the port and detained Jiangdong's warships left in the water village.

This was the only arrangement Huo Yi gave him.

Because in terms of time, the Han army that came east along the Yushui River Valley was earlier than he entered Panyu County; and the Han army that entered Nanhai County can be said to be overwhelming.

Because as the easternmost county of Jiaozhou, Jiangdong did not have many troops stationed in the county during the war.

There is not much defense.

For example, in Sihui County, which is adjacent to Cangwu County, when more than [-] Han troops swept in, all the defenders along the road dispersed, allowing Huo Yi to get food supplies without any effort.

And after learning the news, Panyu County is not much better.

Gain Panyu County is the gathering place for trade routes in Nanhai County, and the garrison is deployed in a scattered manner to maintain the safety of trade routes and collect checkpoint taxes for passing caravans.

When the Han army arrived, they couldn't gather all the guarding forces back into the city.

After Huo Yi led the army, he claimed that he was passing through the border. If the defenders in the city opened the city gate and surrendered, and he was allowed to get food and supplies from the arsenal and mansion, the Han army would not offend.

Don't take anything from folk tycoons or merchants, and don't startle the acquaintances of Li and Shu.

But if he resists stubbornly, when he breaks through the city, he will definitely burn the city, and treat all the nobles and merchants' homes as defenders and deal with them without leaving a penny!
The sudden incident and the disparity between the enemy and ourselves have already made the soldiers and commoners in Panyu city panic.

After hearing Huo Yi's coercion and lure, the generals of the garrison only hesitated for a day and a night, and opened the city gate before the Han army was about to cut wood and make equipment to attack the city.

He is forced.

In just one night, the private soldiers of the rich and right in the city and the guards of the merchants faintly gathered together.

It is self-evident what the so-called gathering of these people is about.

What frightened the garrison general even more was that most of his soldiers were locals.
Want to swear to defend the city?
The difficulties he has to face are not limited to the Han army outside the city.

Maybe when the attack had just begun, the powerful private soldiers and merchant guards in the city began to rush to seize the city gate to welcome the Han army in for their own benefit.

And with less than a thousand troops in the city, it was impossible for him to take care of the city while defending the outside.

He may even welcome the sharp blade stabbed from behind by his soldiers.

The rule of restraint~
The local tyrants and tribal leaders who have been granted authority by the government will naturally send private soldiers to assist the government in taking care of peacetime security and maintaining the city.

These people will not die for Jiangdong, but they can die for the master without hesitation!
