People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 82

Hanyang, Ji County.

Li Yao led more than 1 people, and made a special trip to show off his power, half of them were Diqiang barbarian cavalry, and the other half were powerful commoners.

Because the imperial court gave up Liangzhou, not only made it very easy for them to walk along the way, but also brought many powerful people under their control.

Although the composition of this rebel army is getting more and more complex, but the total strength is also increasing, and the damage it can cause is also getting stronger.

No one can ignore such an armed force!
It's just outside the city at this time!

Li Yao asked someone to shout with him, and when he said something, the others also said:
"People in the city listen, now the eunuch is in power, under the order of Chen Taishou and Ling Xiaowei, we raised up the rebel army just to kill the eunuch, as long as you open the city and surrender, there will be prosperity in the future..."

At the same time, the head of Ji County!
Zuo Chang, governor of Liangzhou, just looked at the rebels, with a look of horror on his face, and he didn't dare to speak at this moment.

Beside him, Gai Xun, the prefect of Hanyang, was furious. He was about 40 years old, with a dignified face, he stared at Li Yao and sternly reprimanded him:

"Little Huangkou, don't mention the word "Rebel Army" today. When the country is in crisis, you don't want to report to the king, go down to Anli, rebel brazenly, drive the people away, and make the fields barren. How dare you call the word "Rebel Army?"

Hearing this, Li Yao looked at the head of Ji County and Gai Xun who was speaking, Li Yao knew that this time he was going to be in trouble.

This person must be loyal to the Han Dynasty, and if he wants to take Ji County from him, he may need to go through a real battle.

But Li Yao still wants to try, if he can convince the other party, it will be comfortable:
"Who do you dare to ask?"

Gai Xun did not conceal his identity:

"Hanyang Governor Gai Xun!"

Li Yao frowned when he heard this, and said to himself, this person is a famous scholar in Liangzhou, not only well-known among the Han people, but also quite prestigious among the Qiang people:

"It turns out that it is Mr. Gai, the boy is disrespectful, but the people are displaced and the fields are barren. Could it be that corrupt officials took away their food, livestock, and forced them to move? They did all sorts of evil, it is beyond the law of nature!"

After a short pause, Li Yao said again:

"It is precisely because of their existence that we mobilize righteous soldiers to hunt down traitors, and now that the imperial court has abandoned Liangzhou, why should Duke Gai guard this city? Why not give it to us, let us kill all corrupt officials, and return the people to a bright blue sky!"

Hearing such words, Gai Xun was even more furious. Although there was already a trend in the court, it was not the first time that he wanted to give up Liangzhou directly.

But because of their joint efforts, they never really gave up on Liangzhou, but this time internal and external troubles broke out together.

The Yellow Turban uprising internally and the Qiang people rebelling externally made the imperial court so straightforward and decisive to issue an edict...

——Abandon Liangzhou!
How could Gai Xun endure this, as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, he hated the rebels deeply:

"If it weren't for you and others to raise troops and cause chaos, how would the imperial court abandon Liangzhou? How could those corrupt officials and corrupt officials harm the people? You are just talking nonsense..."

"The old man is here, Hanyang is here, Hanyang is here, Liangzhou is here, as long as the old man is still here, you will never even think about setting foot in Guanzhong!"

no solution anymore……

Li Yao shook his head, it was too dangerous to attack Ji County by force, we still need to wait until the army arrives.

Then he ordered:

"The army retreated ten miles and camped..."

Then he looked towards the top of the city again:

"Gai Gong, I respect your integrity, but I also hope that you will not be ignorant of good and evil. Now because you are here, I will give you five days. During these five days, I will not launch an attack..."

"You can leave, or you can leave with the people. I will never lead my troops to pursue, otherwise, when the city is broken, please don't blame Duke Gai!"

Of course, this is just an excuse, because the army has not yet arrived, so it is inconvenient to attack the city.

It doesn't matter if you run away or not!
Anyway, the result is the same in the end!
At this time, Li Yao thought in his heart:

"Five days later, it will be June. In these few months now, the Han Dynasty will go all out to suppress the Yellow Turbans, and it will be very difficult to spare the troops to deal with us. This is a great opportunity, don't miss it!"

When the army gradually retreated, Li Yao took another look at Ji County, and it was not until the end that he turned around and left.

But at the top of the city, seeing the rebels finally leave, Zuo Changcai heaved a sigh of relief, and recovered a bit of demeanor.

He turned his head to look at Gai Xun, mixed with jealousy, inferiority complex, and even fear, driven by various emotions, Zuo Chang directly said in a strange way:

"Mr. Gaifu, that was really impressive just now, even the rebels are in awe of your reputation, but you can really block the rebels..."

"There are less than [-] troops in the city now, and they still need to be used to deter those refugees. They cause trouble all day long, whether they are robbing or stealing. There are refugees inside who are disrupting the law and order, and there are rebels who are about to attack outside. How do you think we should deal with it?"

Gai Xun looked at Zuo Chang without any expression on his face, because this is a big corrupt official.

But now is not the time to quarrel, so he suppressed his anger and said as calmly as possible:
"They are not refugees, they are the people of Liangzhou. They don't want to cause trouble every day. They have been deprived of food and livestock. Now they just want to live..."

"I want to open a granary to release grain and recruit the people to guard the city together. At the same time, I call on the big clans in the city to send both people and grain to help defend the city. Otherwise, when the city is destroyed, everyone will suffer."

Zuo Chang's eyes flickered when he heard the words:

"In that case, I'll wait and see!"

The prefect controls the local power, and the governor controls the supervisory power. However, the Han Dynasty was a society ruled by people. Whether the prefect chooses the governor or the governor chooses the prefect depends on family background, connections, prestige, and ability...

Now Gai Xun wants to stick to it, but Zuo Chang's attitude is unclear, and the two chief officials seem to be at odds with each other.

This Ji County is probably going to be finished!

Li Yao mostly had cavalry in his hands, and lacked siege equipment. Although he did not launch an attack immediately, there were a large number of rebels in Ji County. The news spread quickly, not only to Guanzhong, but also to Luoyang...
