Chapter 999: Rebellion among professional households
The banner with the word "Jin" was taken down.
Xin Yan looked at it and threw it away without intending to keep it.
To act like this is a ruthless person, and he has no intention of leaving a way out for himself.
At the same time, another big flag with the word "Liang" was raised.
Everyone inside and outside the city of Panhan saw this scene clearly. Overnight, Henan changed.
The strong men from various tribes who had been drafted here because of the war looked at each other.
But it doesn’t matter. For decades after the Jin Dynasty, the Liangzhou shogunate still had a certain degree of authority over these tribes.
This deterrence declined for a while, but after Malong's expedition to Liangzhou and the great destruction of the Bald Tree's function, it regained a lot, and then declined again. To this day, there is still the last part that allows them to subconsciously follow the Liangzhou shogunate and their middle and lower-level officials who directly govern them when making decisions, such as Xin Yan, the guard of the army.
They really don't understand what happened to the Jin Dynasty and the Daliang Dynasty. Many people even don't know that the Daliang Dynasty has already been founded. Xin Yan brought them to submit to the new dynasty, and they just habitually obeyed the orders of their superiors.
As for how long they will comply, it depends on whether any external power breaks their psychological habits, or they simply develop their own ambitions, disenchant the Wuhan Guards and even the Liangzhou shogunate, and go it alone.
For now, it's clear they followed Xin Yan's orders.
The tens of thousands of people who were building the city suddenly transformed, picked up weapons and horses, and set off in a mighty manner towards the Huangshui River Valley.
Wen Qiao came to Sangcheng Town.
After learning that Xin Yan did not lead his army eastward, but directly went north, he immediately sent out the troops at hand and crossed the Wogan Mountains northward to Jincheng.
The reason is simple: the fighter plane is fleeting, and if it is delayed and waits for Kim Jong's main army to arrive before heading north, the situation in Jincheng may change.
Jin Ming, the general of Sangcheng Town, thought over and over again and decided not to send troops and waited for General Jin Zheng's order.
At this time, the situation in Jincheng County was very delicate.
On the fifth day of April, after learning of Xin Yan's "rebellion", Dou Tao, the prefect of Jincheng and Qingche General, made a prompt decision and led 5,000 cavalry southward towards Wogan Ridge.
There is a village on the ridge, which was built before winter last year to cope with the tense situation.
The guard is the former aunt Zang Ling Xin Yan, who has two thousand soldiers, but I don't know what his position is. In short, Dou Tao thinks that he should be captured, and then use Wogan Ridge as a screen to seize the favorable terrain. It doesn't matter whether he surrenders or fights to the death. Free choice.
Of course, there is another very important reason, but this is not enough for outsiders...
After Dou Tao led his troops to leave, the gate of Jincheng County was immediately closed tightly, as if the defenders had realized something and were trembling with fear as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
They're right to be nervous.
Just the day after Dou Tao left, intense mobilization was going on in a large manor north of Jincheng, backed by mountains and facing a river.
A common proverb in the Jin Dynasty: "Qu and you, there are countless cattle and sheep; open the red gate in the south and look at the brothel in the north."
He is talking about the two wealthy families in Jincheng County, the Qu family and the You family.
So the question is, if you don’t count cattle and sheep, how can you count them? The answer is very simple and crude: the valley.
How many valleys of cattle and sheep do you have? I'm ten.
I have twenty valleys of cattle and sheep, and I am richer than you.
The wealthy families in the border areas are so willful.
On this day, the Qu family's children gathered from all over the place, and the incident was close at hand...
******
"Third uncle, are you rebelling again?" The rumble of horse hooves sounded outside the manor. As they approached, Qu Tao jumped off the horse and shouted loudly.
When the white-haired Qu Ke heard this, he smiled faintly and said: "In which year did my Qu family rebel less? It was Shao Xun's rule in Liangzhou, and if it was slightly unsatisfactory, it would be correct to follow the rebellion."
Qu Tao laughed.
During the Han Dynasty, Bian Zhang and Han Sui caused chaos in Liangzhou, and the Qu family followed suit and fished in troubled waters. In the end, they beheaded Han Sui and jumped repeatedly.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the Qu clan continued to rebel.
When Zhang Gui was governing Liangzhou, Qu Chao and Qu Pei conspired to depose Zhang Gui and replace him with brothers Zhang Yue and Zhang Zhen (the latter was the prefect of Wuwei at the time). After the failure, Qu Ru and others "hijacked" the former Fulu order Qu Ke as the leader, intending to respond to Qinzhou governor Pei Bao and seize power, but were finally put down by Zhang Shi.
They made trouble again and again, and the Zhang family couldn't do anything about them.
The Qu family is quick to cut off, and it is clear from the surface that it is a line with the rebellious tribesmen. At the same time, it is a local snake. You are following an outsider who has no foundation and can only rely on strength. How can you uproot the Qu family?
Qu Ru took advantage of Zhang Gui's stroke to rebel. For such a big thing, he could not kill him, so he had to "migrate to more than 600 Yuan evil families". It was not until Qu Ru rebelled for the third time that he was put down.
The cost of pursuing only "more than 600 families" in one rebellion is too low, so we rebelled again today.
"Is Zaolang back?" Qu Ke asked as he walked out of the manor gate.
"He ran away the day before yesterday. He should be back soon." Qu Tao replied: "I have sent someone to pick him up."
"Zao Lang" was named Qu Hu, and he was a member of the army of Zhang Jun's shogunate. If the Qu family rebels, of course he will run away.
However, in theory it's not a big deal. It was Qu Ke who rebelled. What does it have to do with Qu Hu?
But everything should be done just in case. If Zhang Jun gets angry and kills Qu Hu, wouldn't his death be in vain? Therefore, Kohu strongly requested to run away first and you to rebel slowly.
"Come back as soon as you come back. There's no point in joining the army." Qu Ke said: "The Emperor of Daliang has promised me the post of prefect of Jincheng, but Wu Wei doesn't want it anymore!"
"Haha." Qu Tao laughed and said, "Third uncle finally figured it out. It's a pity that the second uncle, fifth uncle and others couldn't figure it out back then, so they had to go to Chang'an to wade through the muddy waters. Not only did they lose soldiers and generals, they also let Zhang Gui, Zhang Shi and his son Earned fame ”
In fact, Qu Tao also traveled eastward.
Zhang Gui sent him to take three thousand elite members of the Qu family eastward to see the situation, and finally ran back halfway.
Guanzhong was in chaos, and people from all walks of life were massacred.
The Xiongnu could figure it out, Shao Xun could figure it out, but they, the Qu family, didn't have this ability. Looking left and right, it is better to occupy Jincheng, first unite with the You family to destroy the Dou family, and then kill the You family. The remaining Bian family, Zong family and other clans are all small families and not worth mentioning.
After truly controlling Jincheng, the richest county in Hexi, we will then find a way to capture everything south of Yanzhi Mountain - then we will have to face the obstacle of the Xin family again, and there is a long way to go.
"Third uncle, I understand. My nephew will leave today. Don't delay." Qu Ke said, "The nights are long and there are many dreams. Let's take down Yuzhong first and confirm the reputation of our Qu family. In the future, the king of Daliang will arrive. If you want to go back on your word, Not anymore.”
"Okay!" Qu Tao stopped talking nonsense, looked at the armored soldiers lining up outside the manor, and said, "Third uncle must help me with my troops."

"I'll give you two thousand." Qu Ke said: "These two thousand five hundred elite soldiers are enough."
Qu Tao nodded and immediately went to order troops.
After a while, the army surged out, crossed the Yellow River in one day, and went south to the outside of Yuzhong City.
Just when he was about to call the door, he saw a cloud of arrows falling from the top of the city, injuring several soldiers.
Qu Tao cursed loudly and said: "Xin Mao, to this day, you still want to work hard for the Zhang family? Have you forgotten about your aunt?"
Hearing this, a man at the top of the city leaned out half of his body, cupped his hands, and said: "General Bu Laoqu is worried about my family's affairs. My uncle has become the governor of Hezhou and is coming here on the way. General, if nothing happens, you can go on his own." Also.”
When Qu Tao heard this, he secretly broke down.
Starting from Wuhan and proceeding along the Lishui (Daxia River) valley, you can reach Zuonan County and Zuonanjin of Jinxing County (now submerged in the Liujiaxia Reservoir). After crossing the river, turn northeast and reach Jincheng County (now west of Lanzhou). ), further east is Jincheng County, which governs Yuzhong County.
This is to rob Jincheng County.
My maid! Naigongxu cannot let you be proud!
However, he didn't have any good ideas.
The cavalry can't attack the city, so how about dismounting and attacking? But they lacked siege equipment, and for a while they didn't know what to do.
Xin Mao, who was at the top of the city, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him.
There were really few soldiers in the city, and most of them were taken away by the prefect Dou Tao.
As for why Dou Tao ran away, it was actually very simple. He couldn't stay any longer.
His home base is not here, it was purely supported by Zhang Gui to support the Douyou and Qu families. If we are blocked in Yuzhong, what if the tribe is raided? Who can I talk to to reason with you?
These families south of Yanzhi Mountain have quite a lot of conflicts with each other and fight fiercely. Otherwise, how could the Zhang family be so proud now?
What Qu Tao said about his aunt just now was not groundless.
At that time, the clan uncle Xin Lishi Zhang Gui. Gui wanted to take away his wife and take her as his widowed sister's wife, but the clan uncle was unwilling and cut off his nose to take the oath.
Zhang Gui was furious and moved him to be the governor of Dunhuang. His uncle died soon after - "so he died of worry."
In the Zhang Mao era, his father Xin Ping was the governor of Dunhuang. At that time, he (Xin Mao) returned to Longxi to pay homage to his ancestors and visit his ancestors' tombs, and was left by Xin Yan. It happened that there were widespread rumors in Wuwei that Xin Yan was going to rebel, so his father had to take the initiative and suggested that Zhang Mao attack Xin Yan.
Zhang Mao asked you, you have only one son, and you are "strongly stubborn" for Xin Yan. Aren't you afraid of being killed?
This question is a bit heart-wrenching, because it implies that your Xin family is colluding together. Are you sure that Xin Yan will not kill your only son for the sake of his fellow clan?
Fortunately, it turned out to be a rumor, Xin Yan did not object, and the matter was dropped.
But the Zhang family didn't trust the Xin family at all. After Zhang Jun took power, he wanted to attack Xin Yan. He simply didn't know what to say.
Now that you got your wish, our Xin family has really turned against us, how will you treat it?
"Guard the city defense carefully and don't slack off." Xinmao, the commander of Yuzhong, said to all the officials in the county and the officials of various tribes: "The Qu family has always been unfaithful. From the late Han Dynasty to the present, the Emperor of Liang is deeply disgusted with it. Since the Han Dynasty, I have been a border general, loyal to the country, and have a reputation far and wide. The scholars in Zhongzhou praise each other. "
"My uncle is the governor of Hezhou, and he has the trust of the emperor. Can you please examine yourself and vote for Xinye, Douye, Quye, or Youye?"
"One thought can lead to eternal disaster. Don't say it was unforeseen."
"You don't need to do anything now, just guard the city. Your family and children are all in the city. If you let the Qu family into the city, it will disturb your family members, and you will regret it."
"That's it, you should think about it carefully."
This was true. After hearing this, everyone agreed.
They are not from the Dou family, the Qu family, the You family, and the Xin family, so they are not qualified to get involved in the fight between them.
It is good to be an official for the Zhang family, but it is even better to be an official for the Emperor of Liang. Protect your family and property well and wait for the King of Liang to come.
Shao Xun was able to unify the Northern Territory and clarify Yu Nei, so he obviously had great luck, and they no longer wanted to resist destiny.
