Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1216 Fight for your life
The sudden appearance of a blood edict by Emperor Min in Chang'an not only caused turmoil on the Tianzhong Xingtai, but also caused a great commotion in Jingzhao.

Although this matter is false no matter how you look at it, for the people of Jingzhao, at least it has played a role, that is, it makes them realize that they are also the old people of Jinzuo, and they are not natural with Tianzhongxingtai. hostile relationship.

It may sound ridiculous to say this, but it is a fact.The chaos in Guanzhong was much earlier than the chaos in the world. During the reign of Emperor Wu Taikang, there were years of drought and rebellion. When Emperor Hui succeeded to the throne, the Eight Kings Rebellion that lasted for more than ten years soon ushered in. For Guanzhong There has been no effective management.

Although Emperor Hui and Emperor Min came to Guanzhong twice, they were always turning back and forth, and the people in Guanzhong did not feel the majesty of Jinzuo Wangtong at all.The living people are either displaced, or each is under the shelter of the powerful.And after the rise of the two Zhaos, chaos occurred frequently.As a result, a large number of people in Guanzhong don't even know whose people they belong to.

Master Xingtai kowtowed at Sanfu, making Guanzhong tremble and uneasy.At this time, Du Hong took out a copy of Emperor Min's Blood Edict to let the people at the bottom of Guanzhong understand that they and those people from the Guandong were actually the same masters, and they shared the same banner.So it plays a very important role in soothing people's hearts.

Shengmin was no longer frightened and throbbing, and it was naturally easier to manage the appeasement.As for some rogue army leaders, they were also delighted that Chang'an actually held such a bargaining chip in their hands, so they subconsciously moved closer to Chang'an to avoid wandering in the wild and suffer accidental injuries. dream.

But not everyone is so optimistic, especially some wealthy Jingzhao families who are not weak and have a broad vision. Their understanding of the situation is naturally much more comprehensive.One didn't believe that Wang Shi could be forced to retreat with a mere old edict full of loopholes, and the two might have secretly built a bridge to join Wang Shi.

You must know that a considerable part of the main force of the front line of Wang Shi stationed in Hongnong is from Xiangyang, and Xiangyang happens to be the main settlement of Yongliang people who fled south. Enter the king's division.

But Du Hong suddenly made such a thing, it is inevitable to offend the stage, and it also forced these people to have no room to wait and see, or surrender to the king as soon as possible, otherwise they may serve as Du Hong in the later battle. Hong's party accomplices were wiped out.

Therefore, when Du Hong announced this so-called blood edict to the outside world, many Jingzhao powerful and powerful came to Chang'an to inquire.

Although Chang'an is called the first city in Guanzhong, the city has been severely damaged after years of fighting around it, and it has long since lost its majestic appearance.At present, the city is still located in the old base of the Han and Zhao dynasties, but large sections of the city wall have collapsed, and the order in the inner and outer squares has disappeared.Even the palace buildings built by Liu Yao in the early years were burned by Shi Zhao and turned into ruins.

Although the city was dilapidated, it was replaced by various dock walls, large and small, dividing the inside and outside of the city into separate areas.The area occupied by Du Hong is the area between Shiji City located in the northeast corner of the city and its outer edge, the angle between the Wei River and the Ba River.

Within the territory, there are more than ten docks, military forts and civilian forts.

Du Hong was not yet forty years old, and he looked short, fat and strong. Facing the accountability of the townspeople, he was quite calm and said with a grin: "You don't have to blame me for what happened to Meng Lang, I will wait for you!" The villagers already had the idea of ​​returning to righteousness. It was only because Wu Raccoon exercised power in the sky and was ungrateful and ungrateful. Fortunately, the former king left the village by chance, so that we and the villagers could have the hope of returning to righteousness... ..."

"Is the general's words inconspicuous? I am going to the countryside to suffer from illness, and I am in the middle of the sky. Wang Shiguang is in the Chenxiang area. General Shen, who is in Taiwan, holds Jiangdong orders. How can this old book be restrained? What's more, the old king went to the country for the year. It's been a long time, and it's really indebted to publicize his book order like this..."

Although Du Hong is powerful now, the other country tycoons are not afraid of him.They are not so much masters and slaves as they are cooperation. To them, Du Hong is just a person elected to be in charge of negotiating with Xingtai.So as soon as Du Hong's words fell, someone said it.

After this person finished speaking, other people around couldn't hold back their voices, expressing their dissatisfaction with Du Hong's rash and reckless behavior.

With a sneer on the corner of Du Hong's mouth, he quietly listened to the reprimands from the villagers.Although he is considered the leader by the villagers, in fact, he is not the strongest in terms of seniority, popularity or strength.

Although he was born in a wealthy Jingzhao clan, he was not the Duling Du clan who lived in Duling, a famous family in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. His family lived in Gaoling, north of the Wei River, several generations ago, so among the famous Jingzhaohao families, He is an out-and-out junior, and is not even valued by the villagers.

The reason why they are now in charge of Chang'an is because they served under Shi Sheng in the old years and led all the tribes of the family and became soldiers. The second reason is that each family was unwilling to fight in person and assisted Du Hong in their own ways. Attacking the garrison in Shizhao Guanzhong allowed Du Hong to enter.

Du Hong also understood in his heart that although he claimed to be the Lord of Chang'an outside, he was just a puppet supported by these tyrants and a lip service to the outside world.

Chang'an is called the first city in Guanzhong, but now it is just a dilapidated city wall, not enough to defend, not enough to cultivate, even if there are many Jin, Hu wandering food, and rogue bandits gathered around, they are still unruly.Even if it is occupied, it will not gain too many practical benefits at all, but will put itself in a dangerous situation that attracts attention and bears the brunt of the brunt.

These Jingzhao tycoons have been passed down for several or even dozens of generations according to their hometowns. They have a deep foundation and can become outside the law behind closed doors.Even though there were frequent turmoil in Guanzhong and the successive rule of the two Zhaos, their actual interests were not greatly damaged.

In the early years, Liu Yao invaded Guanzhong and captured Emperor Jin, but he was still very troubled by these Jingzhao clans.Each of these villagers built high walls, not inferior to the fortified city, and sheltered an unknown number of people inside. If they wanted to use force to conquer it, it would be even more difficult than capturing the Emperor Jin.This may seem ridiculous, but it is true.

Of course, these tyrants are not weak in watching the wind and watching the situation. They themselves hide in the dock wall to form a unified system, and they also falsely follow the Han and Zhao government orders to the outside world.In addition, at that time, Liu Yao had a strong enemy Shi Le in the Guandong, and there were Longshang Zahu in the Guan who were constantly making troubles, so he didn't have the energy and time to smash the tortoise shells one by one.

Later, Liu Yao was defeated in Luoyang and captured, and his son Liu Xi, who stayed in Chang'an, was even more unable to manage and control these Jingzhao tycoons. Before Shi Zhao's army even entered Guanzhong, he left Chang'an and fled to Longshang.These tyrants turned their heads and elected several generals of Han and Zhao to surrender to Shi and Zhao.

Later, because the Shi Sheng sent by Shi Zhao neither showed a strong posture nor gave them enough benefits, so when the remnants of the Liu family made a comeback, they responded with slogans again.But the result was that the Liu family really failed to live up to expectations, and was defeated by Shi Hu who came after him, and finally the family was wiped out in Shangyu.

Shi Hu was full of malice towards these local tyrants, and planned to support the Qiang and Dihu tribes to suppress the local tyrants. Unfortunately, his achievements were so high that he was quickly transferred back to Hebei.As for Shi Sheng who stayed behind, he didn't even have that ability and courage.Until Shi Zhao's internal strife, these tyrants directly supported Du Hong and expelled Shi Sheng and Guo from Sanfu.

Du Hong now seems to have tens of thousands of people, which is quite powerful, but the dilapidated city wall of Chang'an he occupies cannot be called a foundation at all.Moreover, among his disciples, there are not only many private songs of the Haozong hidden, once they plan to abandon Du Hong, more than half of the tens of thousands of disciples will be dispersed in an instant.

Therefore, compared with these real powerhouses, Du Hong is just a clown on the stage.Like the representative of Jingzhao Haoqiang, Duling Webster has been based in the suburbs for a long time, and his own ethnicity is already numerous. Compared with the current Du Hong, his hometown reputation is even more incomparable.

As for the Du Ling Du family who really enjoys the prestige of Jingzhao County, it is a famous family since the Wei and Jin Dynasties. In particular, Du Yu made his family not inferior to all the famous Guandong families.And because it was too conspicuous, the Du Ling Du family became the main target of suppression by those in power. The Du Yu branch of the direct line either went west or south, but even so, there was still a lot of influence in the countryside.

The other companies may not be as prominent as Webster and Du, but they should not be underestimated.So in the face of these people's accusations, no matter how ashamed and angry Du Hong felt in his heart, he could only bear it on his back.

It wasn't until the reprimands came to an end that Du Hong said: "We villagers don't know our loyalty, and I don't know that the state of Jin is so powerful that it is irresistible. But I was elected by the villagers to sit in Chang'an, and I also want to fight for the country. A stable future. In the past few months, I have repeatedly sent envoys to proclaim loyalty, but how Wu raccoon treats me, don't you see?"

"The Yang family of Hongnong, a well-known family in the country, was relied on by the raccoon slaves for their bravery. The family was wiped out, and even the crimes were slandered. Isn't it enough to make my villagers vigilant? Material, I worry that after the famous Chinese family enters the system, their power and position will be reduced. But the hometown of Sanfu has been devastated for a long time, and we have waited for the villagers to keep the business until now, it can be said that we are full of blood and tears, how can we give it up so easily!"

"This time I show the old imperial edict of my ancestors, and the words are still loyal. Even if he is afraid, he will go straight to Chang'an to attack me, and he will not care too much about his fellow countrymen. I have no regrets about my life. I just keep it. Fight to the death, let him know that Jingzhao Township is brave and not to be insulted! If I can keep Chang'an safe, maybe I can fight for a chance..."

When everyone heard this, they all frowned and pondered.Du Hong's words really spoke to their minds, they didn't even resist the Hulu thief Zhao, they only wanted to preserve the foundation of the village, so how could they forcibly prevent Wang Shixing from entering the pass.

But the problem is, Hongnong Yang's tragedy happened before, and the stage is too stingy, even some magnates do not make promises, which makes them full of hesitation and pessimism.Even if they communicated privately, they were still stuck at this point and made no progress.

Now that Du Hong faked the imperial edict of Emperor Min, it is conceivable that he would surely offend Chang'an, and he would definitely attack Chang'an in the future, making Du Hong the primary target for eradication.As Du Hong said, as long as he is not defeated, Master Wang will hardly have the spare energy to take care of his surroundings.

Especially if they can be defeated a little in Chang'an, it may not be impossible to change Xingtai's attitude towards them.What's more, Xingtai is not without opponents. Shi Hu from Hebei, Shi Sheng from Pingyang, and even Liu Changming from Beidi are all watching from the side, and it is difficult for Xingtai to put Wang Shi's main force in Guanzhong.

If you want to settle Guanzhong as soon as possible, you will naturally need to sit down and have a detailed discussion with these townspeople. At that time, they will naturally have some turning points and initiative, which is far better than the current state.

But the question is, can Du Hong withstand Wang Shi's attack?And he is really so noble, sticking to Chang'an to win a turn for the villagers with his life?

Seeing that the villagers were still suspicious, Du Hong sighed again: "I am in the hometown, but I have little strength. Without the help of the villagers, it would be difficult to have the current posture. It is my honor to repay the kindness of the hometown with my life. But Master Wang I am brave and good at fighting, and I really can't guarantee whether I can defend it, so I have to ask the villagers for a little help."

Speaking of this, he paused again, and then said: "The edict is manifested in the world, I have become a thief who must be eradicated, and I dare not look forward to life. This life is really not a pity. And the family business is afraid that I will die myself, and I have no face to visit my ancestors under the yellow spring. I wonder if you folks can give me a little shelter? I don’t want to be heard in the family, as long as I can pass on the blood a little bit, I will kneel down and thank you ,Grateful……"

After everyone heard this, their suspicions gradually subsided, and then many people showed signs of emotion.Du Hong made such a reckless move, and it was absolutely impossible for them to follow and respond when Master Wang was obviously powerful, but they were really unwilling to switch to Xingtai without any guarantee.

Now that Du Hong dared to actively attract Master Wang's hatred to attract attacks, they secretly funded some capital personnel in exchange for a turnaround, which is also worth a try.

So after pondering for a while, some people in the banquet began to speak out, instead of reprimanding Du Hong for being reckless, Meng Lang praised him for his righteousness.

Seeing the change in the attitude of the villagers, Du Hong also sneered in his heart.The so-called threatening situation means that because he doesn't have a solid base, if he wants to get ahead, he can only fight with his life.

Ever since he was placed in the eye-catching position of Chang'an by the villagers, it can be said that one foot has stepped into the underworld. Unless he can succeed, no matter which side invades the pass, he will undoubtedly die.

Xingtai's attitude is tough, there is no possibility of bargaining and negotiation, and Du Hong never believes that these villagers will accompany him to fight to the death. In order to protect himself, there is a high probability that he will be pushed out.So with or without this false edict, his fate can be said to have been doomed.

That being the case, you might as well put yourself to death first, and then use the unwillingness of the villagers to obtain a part of the actual support that can be used to strengthen your strength a little, and maybe you can still have a chance of survival.

It's not the first time these township tyrants have done something similar.Previously, Liu Yao, the Lord of the Han Dynasty, wanted to eradicate these powerful forces in the countryside at this time, but then the Badi rebellion occurred, which caused chaos in Guanzhong, and there was no lack of support behind it.

After the rebellion was put down, Liu Yao did not dare to abuse wantonly again, and indirectly achieved the purpose of suppressing the township tyrants by moving inland to Di and Hu, expropriating wealth and other methods.The final result was that Han and Zhao were dragged to death, but the powerful village still existed.

At present, Master Wang is attacking Guanzhong. In fact, the situation is vaguely similar to the situation in the early years.It is also a very wise choice to choose Du Hong as a candidate to attract hatred to restrain Wang Shi's energy and delay Xingtai's move to break the order of the village.They don't even need Du Hong to stick to Chang'an, as long as his people are still alive and fleeing, the more chaos in Guanzhong, the safer they will be.

So soon these Jingzhao tycoons also reached a consensus. On the surface, they each attracted everyone to return to their hometowns for self-defense and no longer had contact with Du Hong. However, they also provided a lot of goods and equipment secretly, including their own snare crowds.Most of the people living in Guanzhong live in Sanfu, and half of the people in Sanfu gather in Chang'an.

With sufficient goods and equipment, Du Hong's power also increased sharply, and the number of available soldiers, which was originally less than [-], quickly doubled.Although there are many strong beams in Guanzhong, there are more bandits on the move. As long as they can get food and drink supplies, they will naturally gather.

With the rapid growth of his own power, Du Hong was full of confidence for a while, and all the old and weak were expelled from the tribe, and the tribes were stacked and displayed on the Bashang to drain the vigor of the Jin army from far away. .

Of course, he was not blindly confident, and he didn't think that these mobs alone would be able to stick to Chang'an. Taking advantage of the abundance of goods in his hands, he also mobilized all parties to form thousands of elite troops, and was ready to withdraw immediately if the battle ahead was not good. and flee.

Towards the end of April, Wang Shi's army once again marched forward from Hongnong, with the Fenwu Army Jingqi as the vanguard, Huan Xuan led [-] troops, Lu Yongshui Army [-], Guo Song led the rear [-], a total of nearly six Thousands of troops, advancing by land and water, set out one after another.More than halfway through the camp in the middle, there are frequent good news ahead.

　Sorry sorry, it's late again. . .The writing of this chapter is a bit slow. I have read a lot of materials about Guan Longhaoqiang, but this time period is really vague. It takes a long time to figure out the logic of their behavior. Of course, this is just my imagination.Small local tyrants and big local tyrants finally started fighting.It's because I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. I don't know the rationality of their behavior and dare not push the plot.
