Chapter 10 Rebellious Soldiers (Add 23 to Alliance Leader Qingshan)
The fire in Luoyang City only lasted for three or four days and ended quickly.
Sima Jiong, the king of Qi, never expected that he would end up like this after he went to great lengths to invite all the kings’ followers and party members out of the city.
The confidant general Dong Ai had 2,000 followers, while Changsha King Sima Yi had only a hundred followers. In the end, he forced them to make a comeback and win a great victory.
Before he died, Sima Jiong felt aggrieved, but there was nothing much to say about the winner and the loser.
It was also at this moment that he suddenly realized his conscience.
Since the first year of Yuankang (291), Jia Nanfeng summoned King Sima Wei of Chu to the capital to kill his relative Yang Jun, the world was in chaos.
Prime Minister Yang Jun, Imperial Master Wei Guan, King Sima Wei of Chu, King Sima Liang of Runan, deposed Prince Sima Yu, King Sima Lun of Zhao and other famous ministers and kings were killed one after another, and now it is his turn to join together King Sima Ji, and perhaps his younger brother Beihai King Sima Shi.
Most of the descendants of the Sima family died at the hands of the descendants of the Sima family.
Most of the troops and horses of the Sima family were consumed in conquering each other.
The world of the Sima family is gradually collapsing.
It’s really your own fault!
He laughed twice and closed his eyes.
The broadsword chopped down quickly, and Sima Jiong's head fell outside the Chang Hemen.
After his death, his three sons were sent to Jinyong City and imprisoned, and all his gang members were from the Yi clan.
The power of Sima Jiong, the once-prominent King of Qi, disappeared.
The emperor, who was still in shock, granted amnesty to the whole country. He could not even wait for the last few days of the year and immediately moved to Tai'an.
Sima Yi, the king of Changsha, who came to power, was also in a state of distress. His first task was to persuade the Guanzhong soldiers and horses that had marched to Xin'an County, the west gate of Luoyang, to retreat, and secondly to appease the tens of thousands of Yuzhou soldiers who were still outside the city.
The latter is easy to deal with. Sima Jiong is dead and the imperial court has issued an order to retreat. Those soldiers and military households have no reason to work for Sima Jiong anymore. They might as well rush home as soon as possible to busy with spring plowing.
Moreover, after Sima Ji raised an army to fight against the rebellion, in order to show his integrity, he resigned from the post of governor of Yuzhou. Now in charge of Xuchang is General Annan, the governor of Yuzhou military, and Fanyang King Sima Hui (xiāo), let him Taking the soldiers back is justifiable.
The former is more troublesome and requires complicated exchange of interests.
The two kings of Chengdu and Hejian originally planned to lead their troops to Beijing. They expected Sima Yi to be unable to deal with Sima Jiong, so they planned to use him to create chaos in Luoyang, and then the armies of Chang'an and Yecheng swarmed into Beijing to seize power.
But who would have thought that Sima Yi fought to the death and actually killed Sima Jiong, and at the same time took control of the government. As soon as the emperor's edict was issued, the two kings of Hejian and Chengdu lost the legality to enter Beijing. , I'm afraid I'm jumping in a hurry right now.
Sima Yue, King of East China Sea, immediately lined up as the new winner and attached himself to Sima Yi, King of Changsha.
Honestly, it's a little bit ugly because he didn't do anything in this merger. But he also had his reasons. He only had fifty attendants assigned by the imperial court, no soldiers and no power. What could he do?
Perhaps Sima Yi needed to win over the king of the clan, so he gave Sima Yue some benefits: he added three thousand households and recommended a subordinate to be the governor of Donghai County.
You must know that before this, although Sima Yue granted six counties, it did not mean that these six counties were under his control, because he only had 5,000 households, and he did not have the title of governor. The titles such as governor and governor are a bit inferior compared to other sect kings.
This time, the military and political affairs have been grasped, and he can finally be on par with other sect kings.
Actually, this is not a great benefit, but Sima Yue didn’t do anything, right?
He did not have the courage to risk everything. He did not dare to make plans in advance like Sima Yi did, and he did not dare to fight to the death with only a hundred or so party members like him.
High risk and high return, low risk is good if you can get returns, don’t ask for too much.
After the situation inside Luoyang City stabilized, the chaos outside the city had just begun...
******
In the boundless wilderness, there were everywhere People who fled.
They were driven away by the rebels.
Sima Jiong was dead. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the Yuzhou Dudu District were at a loss and didn't know where to go. Before Xuchang could send someone to take them back, they broke into chaos.
Most people are ready to go home.
Shibing is not recruiting soldiers, has no military pay, is poor, and returns home is the deepest desire in his heart. After losing the person they worked for, they had no reason to stay in Luoyang.
Before leaving, some "little clever guys" decided to grab a piece. After all, they didn't even have severance pay. After they started taking action, more rebels joined in, and looting began to spread.
Part of the Yamen Guards stationed outside the city received orders from the Northern Army Lieutenant Commander and launched a large-scale campaign to quell the rebellion. The looting Yuzhou soldiers could not resist, they broke up and fled. Therefore, the looting around Luoyang quickly disappeared, leaving only some aftermath.
But even these aftermaths are enough for many people to drink a pot...
On the Lantern Festival, there are many soldiers standing on the wall of Panyuan courtyard, and the drums are rumbling.
"Whoosh!" An arrow flew out and nailed a arrogant rebel to the ground.
"Whoosh!" Another arrow shot out, killing another person.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Shao Xun walked up and down the courtyard wall, which could accommodate two or three people walking side by side. He would pick up his bow and arrow from time to time, and he almost never failed, and he was able to kill A group of hundreds of soldiers were terrified.
Some news from Luoyang came one after another. There was no complete picture, only bits and pieces, and it was difficult to tell whether it was true or false. But that is for other people, for time travelers like Shao Xun, it is enough to complete the entire puzzle.
He has been thinking recently, what has he gained in the past year?
After thinking about it, the biggest achievement is that he has changed from captain to team leader, even though he is in charge of a group of teenagers ranging from seven or eight years old to sixteen or seventeen years old.
This result has great plasticity and growth potential, and he has been working hard in this direction.
In addition, the second greatest achievement is to gain the trust of Princess Donghai, who is actually in charge of Pan Yuan - he thinks.
The princess approved of his behavior of teaching reading and calligraphy, and did not think that he was a "bad boy". At the same time, through the relationship with Sikong Mansion, she sent a large number of pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
This, to a certain extent, gave Shao Xun's various actions legitimacy.
He has been thinking recently that this relationship needs to be maintained well and its potential deeply explored. He had sensed the princess's uneasiness - in fact, at this time, security was an absolute rarity and luxury - and subconsciously wanted to do something, so this was his chance. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be much to do.
It’s a bit frustrating and sad, but this is the reality.
Not everyone is qualified to play with the chessboard. Most people are just chess pieces after all.
The wisest thing to do now is to follow Sima Yue's "progress" and "progress".
Sima Yue has already killed his two "eldest brothers" Sima Lun and Sima Jiong. Now Sima Yi is his third eldest brother. Will he take advantage of the chaotic situation to recruit people and make plans secretly?
He believes it will, because this is the answer of history.
In addition to political parties, military power must also be Sima Yue's top priority.
During the Sima Lun Rebellion, the Luoyang Forbidden Army was deeply involved and attacked and killed each other, resulting in heavy losses.
The Forbidden Army watched almost the entire battle, and even closed the gates of Luoyang at critical moments. The seven Suwei troops stationed in the city were like deaf and blind men, neither protecting the emperor nor sending troops to quell the chaos. The Yamen armies stationed in the suburbs of Luoyang only went out in large numbers to eliminate the foreign soldiers who took advantage of the chaos and looting when the overall situation was determined.
Is their performance satisfactory? No, no one is satisfied.
Both the emperor and the king were dissatisfied.
There is a high probability that the Northern Army’s middle lord will be punished, and the generals of the Forbidden Army will inevitably join Sima Yi. What will Sima Yue think then? Will he have a strong urge to expand the size of his private army?
This is the opportunity.
Although the benefits may not fall on you, there is no doubt that opportunities are opportunities.
So, it seems that we need to show off more.
"Whoosh!" The long arrow shot through the air and directly shot down a knight who was waving his whip to drive away the rebel infantry.
The soldiers on the courtyard wall cheered and made a lot of noise.
Shao Xun put down his bow and subconsciously glanced at Yang Bao, the leader of the eighth team, who was waiting behind the courtyard gate.
He suspected that this grandson had filed a black lawsuit, because he had been dealt with by him before, and the eighth team was one of the so-called main teams. Of course, the team leader wanted to go further.
Come to think of it, it’s all Du Bo’s fault!
Who doesn’t want to be promoted?
There is a competitive relationship, and whatever happens is normal.
At the same time, Shao Xun was also a little emotional.
They, a group of people full of crooked melons and cracked jujubes, actually fought like this. Should we say that the lower-level military households are too clumsy?
But in a world of great strife, it seems that you have to be the King of Juan, otherwise you will be the fate of cannon fodder, although the King of Juan is very likely to be killed by himself.
As Yang Bao listened to the louder cheers coming from his ears, he felt quite unhappy and a little afraid.
The thief Shao Xun is really good at martial arts, but I don’t know where he learned it.
He had seen with his own eyes that when Shao Xun touched a long knife, his movements changed from sluggish at the beginning, to gradually becoming more proficient, and then to perfection.
He felt that Shao Thief was not learning how to use a long knife, but rather retrieving the feeling and memory of using a long knife.
This monster! Yang Bao spat.
"Dong dong..." The drums rumbled.
"Creak..." The courtyard door slowly opened.
A total of two hundred sergeants filed out and stood against the wall.
"Kill!" A shout suddenly sounded, startling the soldiers who were watching in the distance, and hesitation and fear gradually appeared on their faces.
They want to rob something, but they are not fools.
The farm in front of us has high walls and guards. It seems that the morale is very good and everyone is united.
What's even more frightening is that there is a sharp archer at a high place, casually shooting anyone who dares to get close. His arrows bite the flesh with such precision that they can neither advance nor retreat.
If the main officers are still there, even if the opponent has sharpshooters, they still have to attack. After all, military orders are hard to disobey. But what if, the officers themselves don’t know where they are, so who is willing to sacrifice their lives?
Of course you have to pick the soft persimmons.
It is human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong. Isn’t it good to abandon the Wubao where many people will die and instead plunder scattered villages that have no ability to protect themselves?
So, they really want to leave.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Two more arrows were shot out from the high wall, killing one person and wounding another.
When the other archers saw this, their morale was greatly boosted, and they began to pick up their bows and arrows to shoot the thieves who got too close.
The rebels retreated one after another. Under the crowds, panic spread slightly.
“Kill!” The two hundred sergeants at the gate of the courtyard wall lined up in a neat queue, ran quickly, and rushed over.
“Let’s go!” Several horse-mounted rebel leaders took the lead and left without any hesitation.
"Let's go!" The others followed closely behind and collapsed into the distance in a chaotic manner.
Shao Xun put down his bow.
The thief has no fighting spirit and there is no need to pursue him fiercely.
This wave of crisis has been dealt with. They also successfully protected themselves once in troubled times. Yes, it was just "once". The crisis in the future will only be greater than now.
