Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 127
There are more than 160 counties in Yangzhou, including Jiujiang, Lujiang, Danyang, Kuaiji, Jian'an, Wujun, Yuzhang, and Luling. Mountain people are common in these counties, only Jiujiang and Danyang are slightly less in Jian'an , because these few land boundaries are either strong folk customs, or core areas, or are not surrounded by mountains and forests, so they are not suitable for mountain people to live in.

And within a few days, seven counties in Yuzhang County, including Yuhan County, Chaisang County, Ai County, Gan County, Yudu County, Shanyang County, and Poyang County, were attacked by Shanyue. Shanyue did not attack the county seat, but The granary in Mintun was attacked. At first, because Shanyue cut off the post station, the surrounding counties could not be contacted. However, after realizing the anomaly, the news was still not concealed, and the reports were reported to Duan Jiong.

Because the emperor ordered Duan Jiong to be in charge of the soldiers in Yangzhou prefectures and counties, and Duan Jiong also took the rank of General Zhengnan. In terms of name and authority, he is the highest-ranking commander in Yangzhou. Even, under his order, even the surrounding Jiaozhou and Jingzhou Yuzhou must help him in a certain way. He had just led his soldiers to Xingan County, the seat of Yuzhang, when he heard such bad news that several counties around him had encountered such bad news.

Many soldiers, after hearing this, were all furious. You know, [-] of them are in Yuzhang. These guys dare to wreak havoc in front of their eyes. When did the northern army and the southern army be so underestimated by the enemy?

All of a sudden, everyone asked for a fight, and at this time, the mountain guide Duan Jiong recruited had already arrived in the camp. When they saw the menacing and fully armed Han court soldiers, they felt that their decision to surrender was even more important. It couldn't be more correct, how long can a lunatic like You Tuchi live?

Duan Jiong knelt in the tent, and the copy in front of him was the map record sent by the governor of Yangzhou. This map is very important and cannot be customized by private individuals. It has been kept privately in the governor's office of Yangzhou. Duan Jiong watched it carefully. Frowning as he looked at this map made during Emperor Xiaohe's time, he had stood still before. On the one hand, he was waiting for the guide, and on the other hand, he was afraid of being pinched by these mountain people and running around.

After all, these mountain people are very familiar with the local area, and they also made the attack on Kuaiji County known to everyone. He didn't believe that a commander who could gather [-] mountain people would be such an idiot, so he chose to stay still, The main reason is to get the other party's movements. Now, he knows the scope of the other party's activities, but it is in Yuzhang County.

If there is any difference between Yuzhang and the surrounding counties, it is probably that this is the most affluent area in Yangzhou. In addition, the soldiers of the Southern Expedition were completely hidden in Xingan County, Yuzhang County. Food and grass for our army?Otherwise, why did you choose to do it in Yuzhang?Duan Jiong squinted his eyes and pondered for a while before he summoned many soldiers to discuss in the tent.

Many soldiers walked in eagerly, looking at Duan Jiong eagerly, waiting for his military order, Duan Jiong looked at the crowd calmly, but ignored their enthusiasm, turned to look at the guide, and asked: "Xin Gan Are there any mountains and forests around the county?" The guide thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "There are many streams here, and there are no big mountains and forests. He squinted his eyes and asked: "Before you came here, did you know about our Stationed in Xingan County? "

"I don't know!"

"Hmph! How dare you lie to me! Come!" Duan Jiong suddenly turned his face and shouted at the soldier. The man was very frightened and begged: "General, I didn't know the whereabouts of the army before. General, I really am afraid. I don’t know!” Several soldiers directly subdued him, looked at Duan Jiong, Duan Jiong said viciously: “This is the only way to go to Kuaiji, food and grass are gathered here, how could you not know? You must have lied to me, kill me!"

The soldier suddenly raised his sword, and the man shouted: "General! Lujiang and Danyang are the only way to go to Kuaiji! I am wronged!" Duan Jiong waved his hand and stopped the soldiers. With a displeased expression on his face, he asked again, "Don't you know the grain and grass transportation in the whole Yangzhou and Xingan County?".

The man wailed loudly and said, "Of course I know, it's just that here, you can go to Lujiang Danyang in the north, go to Kuaiji in the east, go to Changsha in Jiangxia in the west, and go to Guiyang and Nanhai in the south. Every time there is a war in the south, the food and grass are gathered here. , How could I know that the army is here just because of this?" Duan Jiong nodded secretly, this person is indeed a local guide, and he still knows quite a lot about the surrounding counties.

He motioned for the soldiers to let go of this person, looked at the crowd, and said: "These days, everyone is not allowed to go out, but to hide in the city completely. They are not allowed to raise flags and drums, or make stoves to raise smoke. The entire Xingan County must also quit smoking. Close the city gates, no entry or exit is allowed!"

Before he finished speaking, all the soldiers were in an uproar. How could this general, who was always famous for his bravery, order to shrink back when the surrounding counties were under attack?The opponents are nothing more than bandits, so what about a hundred thousand?Everyone was puzzled, and Sun Jian even shouted: "Commander, why are you shrinking? Please order me to fight. I only need [-] soldiers, and I can get You Tuchi's head for the general!"

Dian Wei, Huang Zhong and the others also walked out with their fists clasped, all asking for a fight, they were in Yuzhang County, how could they allow bandits to run rampant around them, then what is their majesty, what is the majesty of the big man?What's more, they came here to kill the enemy and win military exploits. If they hide in the city like this, how can they win military exploits and be promoted?Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo and others were the captains, but did not speak.

Huangfu Song stepped forward, his father, Huangfu Jie, was formerly the prefect of Yanmen County, he had fought against foreign enemies many times and was well known for his military exploits, and his uncle, Huangfu Gui, was even as famous as Zhang Huan and Duan Jiong, At that time, he was called Sanming of Liangzhou. He looked exactly like his uncle. He grew up in the army since he was a child. He acted with a bit of military pride. He asked, "But Duan Gong wants to ambush the bandits here?"

Duan Jiong looked at this young man meaningfully, compared to Sun Jian and others, he was more mature and could take on important tasks.

Seeing that Duan Jiong was not born, Huangfusong already understood Duan Jiong's thoughts in his heart. Although he also had some doubts in his heart, how did Duan Jiong know that the other party would attack here, but he didn't ask any more questions. Prestige cannot be violated. When he was young, because he called Huangfugui his uncle in the army, he was almost beaten to death by Huangfugui with military law. He was extremely afraid of military law in his heart.

Lu Zhi frowned, stepped forward, and said: "Even if we want to ambush here, can we send a few garrisons to rescue the granaries in the surrounding counties? Why do we sit and watch our comrades die and the people be plundered? I hope the general will take care of Yangzhou." The people are suffering!" Duan Jiong squinted his eyes, paused, and said: "If you kill tens of thousands of bandits with the lives of thousands of people, why not?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhi was furious and asked, "Isn't it your job to protect the country and protect the people?"

"Killing a thief is to protect the people! To protect one person? To protect thousands of people?" Duan Jiong asked rhetorically. Lu Zhi gritted his teeth and looked around at the soldiers. Several captains were also a little angry, especially in Yangzhou like Sun Jian. Brothers, they got up and said: "General, please order the surrounding counties to be under martial law, and the soldiers guarding the granaries to retreat!" Duan Jiong said coldly: "The matter of reassuring the people is the matter of the county officials!"

"I just want to defeat the enemy, if I dare to ignore the military order again, I will kill you!!"

He looked at the many soldiers coldly, and everyone understood that he did what he said, Lu Zhi let out a mournful cry, turned and left.

Everyone lamented, Sun Jian clenched his fists, his eyes were full of anger.

　After two days of treatment, my body finally got better.
