I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 182 Liu Shijun, I'm Sorry, I Was Big Mistake

In late July of the second year of Zhongping, Liu Jian's army began to patrol and perform martial arts in various counties of Wei County. Among them, they marched in a staggered manner, showing their sharpness and vigor.

Although this army has just been recruited, it is not the first division.

According to Xia Houlan's remonstrance, the Jizhou Army has had many confrontations with small forces in the Black Mountain Army in recent months. One is to protect the environment and the people, and the other is to train the army.

After several fierce battles, the overall combat power of the soldiers of the Jizhou Army has made great progress, and the embryonic form of the Jizhou Army has been formed.

The five thousand elite toured the counties of Wei County, which increased the morale of the families and people in the counties of Wei County.

Then, on August [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th, the army marched to Yin'an, and then set up camp there to perform martial arts.

Ten miles to the southwest of Yin'an County, five thousand Jizhou troops were conducting drills, and the momentum was overwhelming. Even in Yin'an County, which is far away, if you stand at the head of the county town, you can't help but faintly hear the drills in Yin'an County not far away. Voice.

On the vast land in the south of Yin'an County, there is a Dawu Castle. The people staying here are the entire Wei County, a family with high overall power and reputation, and this family is the Shen family.

In Yin'an County, there are three families that can reach the highest level of noble families in Wei County, accounting for a huge proportion in the entire Wei County. In addition to the Shen family, there are also the Sun family and the Zhang family.

Among them, the Zhang family is related by marriage to the Liu Shu family in Hejian. Liu Shu used to be among the three monarchs and had a high reputation among the gentry. The Zhang family is also at the top of the Hebei shilin.

As for the current family member of the Sun family, Gongsun Qi, who used to be a former official of the Taiwei Chen Fan, although he was implicated by the party, the family heads of the past dynasties have always been known as the country's chastity among scholars.

Compared with the background of these two families, the Judgment family is actually weaker than them in some aspects.

Hearing that Liu Jian's army was performing martial arts outside Yin'an, the judge hurriedly asked Sun Qi and Zhang Yi to discuss it.

After the two arrived at Wubao, the judge's home, the trial match was not delayed, and they said to them straightforwardly:
"Two, to be honest, the three of us took the lead in calling on the Jizhou Zhuwang not to give the barren land to the animal husbandry office for farming. I have always felt that something was wrong. After all, this was the decision of the Liu Shijun since he arrived in Jizhou. The first policy of the following, and I have also thought about it carefully in the past few days, and found that this policy of farming is indeed of great benefit to restraining Montenegro and resisting Taihang bandits."

"Liu Shijun's actions are of great benefit to all the people, clans, and scholars in Jizhou. Isn't it inappropriate for us to call on all clans to resist? Such disobedience is not good for us, and it also hurts Jizhou. There is something wrong with thousands of people."

Sun Qi said with a smile: "Brother Zhengnan said, the two of us are also clear in our hearts, but there are some things that cannot be compromised! The land of Jizhou is different from Pangzhou. Since Emperor Guangwu rejuvenated the Han Dynasty, the land of Jizhou has always been based on The local clan is respected, even if it is the new Mushou, you need to seek the opinions of the family for anything. This time, we are just setting up a rule for Liu Shijun. Everyone understands each other's bottom line. It's easy to do."

Zhang Yi responded from the side: "That's right, Zhengnan, you are a representative of our ethnic groups, you must not show weakness first, this Jizhou is different from other places, let alone Liu Jian, it is Runan Yuan Members of the family who come here as elders should also respect us three points."

The judge frowned, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "But I always feel that this is not appropriate. After all, even Tian Yuanhao and Ju Gonghe have already leaned on Liu Shijun. These two are far-sighted and far-sighted. Wise men, since they are able to favor Liu Shijun, it is reasonable to think about it."

"Well, the last time these two people said, I couldn't talk to them in detail in front of you, so I directly rejected them. Now that I think about it, this move is somewhat unwise. If I can discuss it carefully with them, maybe it won't be too late. As for this step, you see that Liu Shijun displayed his troops and horses in Yin'an, did he come to demonstrate?"

Zhang Yi laughed loudly and said: "So what about those who came to demonstrate? The three of us are all celebrities today, can he still send troops to attack and kill us directly? If he is really unreasonable and directly sends troops to attack us and Wubao, then he really It is to kill yourself and the world's scholars!"

Sun Qi also said: "Zhengnan is too worried. A 20-year-old boy is just relying on Mu Shou's power to recruit some soldiers to demonstrate to us in the future. What else can he really do? It's okay for him to be like this. The state herdsmen and horses are performing martial arts here, and the Black Mountain Army probably won't be able to come over to harass them in a short time."

Zhang Yidao: "That's right. When I return to the family, I will let my family open the gate of Wubao. The apprentices and slaves should farm the land and travel. I will not delay anything. Let me see this Liu Shijun." , Do you dare to do anything to us!"

Hearing this, the examiner couldn't help but sighed lightly.

These two people's ideas are so stubborn, and those local gentry in Jizhou still put on a high-ranking, gentry-first attitude...

Although this time, the person who represented the various families in Jizhou to oppose the farming was the judge, but in fact, the judge was just a representative, and the people who actually pushed the judge behind the scenes were Zhang Yi and Sun Qi.

The judge is a fine person, he knew that the imperial court allowed the princes and kings to open their mansions in the local area.

And there are the most princes and kings near Jizhou, such as Changshan King, Zhao King, Ganling King, Hejian King and so on.

Although all these princes and kings opened their mansions, the princes and kings have been oppressed for a hundred years. Even if they are qualified to open their mansions and build power, if they want to continue to develop, they must be respected by one person.

The trial and appointment now has a feeling that Liu Jian is already the head of the Liu clan in terms of prestige and fame in recent years.

Although the local princes and kings opened their mansions, most of them failed to succeed. If Liu Jian succeeds in farming in Jizhou this time, his reputation will be greatly boosted, and his reputation will once again resound throughout Hebei.

At that time, the princes and kings of Hebei and Henan may rush to get close to Liu Jian and respect him. If that is the case, the power of the Liu family with Liu Jian as the center will become popular in Hebei. It's really easy for the other party to find a reason to deal with it.

Don't look at the prefects of the world who can gain power in peacetime, but if it comes to troubled times, what will happen.

But right now, a group of people headed by Zhang Yi and Sun Qi are involved in the trial and matching, making him feel helpless in doing things.

……

That night, Shen Pei was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

It wasn't until it was almost dawn that he felt a little drowsy and gradually fell asleep.

But suddenly, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing outside the room.

The judge didn't respond at first, then he suddenly woke up and stood up abruptly.

It was at this time that there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

A domestic servant shouted out of breath to the judge inside the door: "My father-in-law! Something is wrong, the Black Mountain Army has come to rob Wubao!"

In the early morning of August [-]th in the second year of Zhongping, just three days after the Jizhou army performed martial arts patrols in Yin'an, the Black Mountain army suddenly sent troops to attack Wu, the leader of the three prominent families of the Shen family, the Sun family, and the Zhang family. Compared with the momentum of the Black Mountain Army in Weijun in the past, the momentum is completely different.

This time, the commander in charge of commanding the Montenegro Army is Zhang Niujiao, the most powerful and most prestigious commander in the Montenegro Army.

Led by Zhang Niujiao himself, the troops dispatched by the Black Mountain Army are naturally different compared to the original ones. Although they are all ordinary low-level people without equipment, the weapons are also good and bad, and there are all kinds of weapons There are all of them, but they are better than the number of people.

Logically speaking, the Jizhou government army has just patrolled Yin'an, and it should have deterred the thieves for a period of time. In a short period of time, it is impossible for the main combat power of the Black Mountain Army to come to Yin'an again. After all, the Black Mountain Army is not a fool. If they come to the places that have been patrolled by the Jizhou Army, it will be tantamount to going to war with the Jizhou Army. This is completely unnecessary for the Black Mountain Army.

After all, the current Montenegro Army is still in its infancy, and it belongs to the stage of primitive capital accumulation. At this stage, they generally don't want to have too much conflict with the official local official army in Jizhou.

Fighting against local tyrants and private soldiers can enrich the food and supplies of the Montenegrin Army, and even recruit soldiers, but there is really not much benefit in fighting the army.

……

The judge personally led people to rush to Wubao. He climbed up and looked into the distance, looking at the mountains and seas of Montenegro soldiers outside Wubao, he felt an indescribable coldness in his heart.

Although he knew that the number of thieves who had poured into the Taihang Mountains in recent years was extremely large, but the judge had never imagined that the number of thieves had grown to this scale.

And obviously, what was shown to him was just the tip of the iceberg of the bandits in the Taihang Mountains.

Behind these locust-like thieves, I don't know how many people are still serving as the backing of the Black Mountain Army.

"Look, father-in-law!"

With a terrified shout, the judge looked in the direction of the attendant's finger.

But seeing the sky far to the west, it seemed that there was billowing black smoke rising into the air in the distance.

Shen Pei was terrified, because that direction was exactly where Wu Bao of the Sun clan was.

That is to say, the number of people dispatched by the Black Mountain Army this time not only covers their own Wubao, but is even fully capable of attacking Wubao, a prominent family of the same level as him!
What an astonishing number!
"Sun Qi, Zhang Yi misled me!"

Shenpei punched hard on the high platform stake next to him, his face full of remorse.

Only now does he seem to realize that the aftermath of the Yellow Turban Rebellion is actually the deadliest existence for local prominent families like them.

On the contrary, although Liu Jian's strategy of farming is beneficial to the animal husbandry department, it is more beneficial to them to a greater extent.

"Father-in-law, Wubao's situation is in critical condition, and our disciples in Wubao will not be able to hold on!"

The judge narrowed his eyes, watching the distance from a high place.

Looking at the densely packed Black Mountain army outside Wubao, the judge said through gritted teeth: "There is nothing that can't be defended! My Shenshi Wubao has been built for four generations, and it is the strongest in Yin'an! No matter how many bandits in Taihang Mountain What can you bear with me?"

The people under the trial and assignment hurriedly said: "Patriarch, it's not as easy as you think! Most of our apprentices outside Wubao have turned against each other and integrated into the Black Mountain Army. Where is Wubao weak? How many people are guarding, those people are very clear, with them as guides, the people in Wubao really can't defend!"

"Papa, listen carefully to the shouts outside!"

The examiner listened attentively, and heard other than Wubao, accompanied by the shouts of the Black Mountain Army, and some other shouts that were different from those shouts.

It was the Montenegrin Army who attacked and killed, while shouting slogans.

"Heaven makes up for the average!"

"Heaven makes up for the average!"

The voices sounded one after another, one after another, not only shaking the hearts of the private slaves in the Shen clan, but also plucking at the heartstrings of Shen Pei himself.

The shouts of countless people were as loud as thunder even in the distance.

As Shenpei's subordinates said, the private slaves of the Shen family outside Wubao have been oppressed by the Shen family all year round. In the shouts of the Black Mountain Army, more and more people joined their ranks with their arms raised, but they had weapons The morale of the disciples of the Shen family who used Wubao as a barrier was low.

I don't know how many people were infected by this fanatical atmosphere, just like when the Yellow Turban just started.

"puff!"

The examiner spat out a mouthful of blood, then stumbled and squatted towards the back, almost not falling off the tall building.

Fortunately, a house slave supported him from the side.

"Father!"

The judge stretched out his hand to block the servant's words, and ordered weakly: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong, hurry up... quickly gather all the warriors in the family, and equip them with strong horses, so that all the people in Wuzhong, Cover them against the bandits, break through... break through!"

The servant hurriedly said: "Where are you going to break through? Let them go to the Sun and Zhang families for help?"

The judge shook his head and sighed: "They are all in danger now, how can they care about us? Tell everyone to go west and ask for help from Liu Shijun, the state shepherd. They have just left Yin'an not long ago. Go far! You should be able to catch up!"

"Yes, yes, I'll arrange someone now!"

"Send more elite cavalry to break through, and if there are fewer, I'm afraid they won't be able to rush out! Tell them, whoever can rush out! Meet Liu Shijun, and tell him... Shenmou is wrong! Shenmou is very wrong! Shenmou is willing to use The envoy is the first, and the family is judged in Yin An, and I am willing to speak for the envoy to suit all the well-dressed people. From now on, I will always make the envoy the first!"

On the southeast side, the gates of Shenshi Wubao slowly opened, and a group of warriors holding swords and spears and riding fast horses suddenly rushed out of Shenshiwubao, and behind them on the earthen wall, Wubuzhong The archers kept shooting arrows quickly at the ranks of the bandits, using them to suppress the opponent's offensive, and to win a chance for these knights who broke out from the encirclement to escape.

But there were too many people in Montenegro. Although they were shot back by the arrow rain for a while, they quickly formed a formation and swarmed up again.

Tens of knights were dispatched to Wubao, but they were quickly overwhelmed by the swarming Montenegro army.
