Yang Heshu sits in Maozhou Governor's Mansion, while Yin Li waits for work in the mountains.
When the day was bright, there was an army coming out of the mountain pass. Obviously, the king of Yizhou didn't want to procrastinate any longer. Things like rebellion also paid attention to going all out.
Yin Li received the scout's military information and said: "Let them go out of the mountain, don't do anything yet, let Huang Ming lead five thousand soldiers to set up an ambush at the Baishan Pass..."
"General, the scouts are here to report, but the King of Yizhou is not among them, and there are only 10,000 soldiers who came out of the mountain this time."
Yin Li said: "If I don't dare to mobilize all the soldiers and horses at once, I must first take down Maozhou and Mianzhou before coming out."
"Then aren't we going to startle the snake?"
Yin Li laughed and said, "Surprised. Didn't we check that there is only one opening for soldiers and horses to enter and exit the mountain pass?"
The col they chose was particularly good, easy to defend and difficult to attack, basically as long as the opening was guarded, outsiders would not be able to enter.
And that mountain pass is quite precipitous, like one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it.
This is a bad thing, but also a good thing.
They can't get in, and the people inside can't even think about getting out.
Yin Li raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Could it be that after being shocked, they still dare to slide into the deep mountains?"
His eyes were deep, "It's not Dongxi Village inside, there are fertile fields for them to cultivate. Their food and grass can't last long, so they will definitely come out. Pass down the order, let Huang Ming just go away, only one, let them retreat, Don't let them escape."
The general responded and took the order to go.
But wars are difficult to control, and there are still many winners and losers, but it is difficult to control all the defeated troops.
There were still many rebels who escaped from the mountains and began to flee in groups.
At this time, the east gate of Maozhou City opened wide, and began to accommodate the villagers who fled in doubt.
But more people didn't believe what the three soldiers said last night, so most of them didn't come.
Yang Heshu didn't say anything, just sighed.
He only has a thousand soldiers and horses, and it is not easy to defend Maozhou City. Naturally, it is impossible to disperse his troops and go to the countryside, so he can only hope that the villagers in each village can save themselves.
The dispersal of the defeated army was very fast. In the evening, he received distress messages from all over the country. Some rebels broke into the village to rob money and kill and rob people.
Yang Heshu put these distress letters aside, and hardened his heart: "Tell the people who came to report the news that the city will not be able to dispatch any manpower at the moment, let them go to the mountains to hide first, or form a team to fight against the enemy."
The Maozhou official who obeyed the order almost burst into tears. His home was also outside the city, but he could only bow and retreat.
After he left, Yang Heshu asked Colonel Song, "Has the garrison surrendered?"
"Ding Qian, the general of the garrison, fled with 800 people and has disappeared."
"What about the rest?"
"The rest are people who don't want to go with him. There are 680 people in total. There is a captain leading them. The last general didn't dare to let them enter the city, so let them stay outside the city for the time being."
Yang Heshu then said: "Go and invite the county magistrate of Wenshan County to gather the officials in the governor's mansion. Those with low and low positions are mainly local officials. Each of them will be a guide for a team. The garrison is divided into six teams, one team has 120 people, and they are organized into local government servants, led by 100 households, and go to the countryside to suppress the rebellious army."
"They had no weapons. Ding Qian handed over all their weapons before leaving."
"Take it from the Hyogo room in the Governor's Mansion, if you don't have enough, you transfer it to them."
Lieutenant Song opened his mouth to object, Yang Heshu looked up at him, and continued: "There is one more thing, since the king of Yizhou really rebelled, he has to send an urgent report to the capital, and at the same time notify all departments in Jiannan Province. The king of Yizhou has rebelled, so let the cities close their gates to face the enemy."
Yang Heshu handed over the document with the seal of the governor of Maozhou to Xiaowei Song. It not only contained the seal of the governor of Maozhou, but also the seal of Yang Heshu. The meaning of it was enough for people to ponder.
Lieutenant Song took it, hesitated for a moment, after all there was no objection to the weapon, bowed to accept the order and left.
Yang Heshu sat in the hall and looked at the busy officials running around outside. After sighing, he asked the shivering clerk who had been taking notes to let the outsiders come in.
Yang and Shu were instantly overwhelmed by the crowd and various affairs.
After all, only a few people know about rebellion, and the officials in Maozhou City will change when they wake up.
The governor's mansion was broken down, and there are still many corpses piled up at the door, among them are people who are acquainted with each other in daily life. Their dear and respected Lord Governor has been locked in the dungeon, and they can't even see each other.
Then there was a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and their governor wanted to rebel with the King of Yizhou, so he was suppressed as a rebel.
Officials, big and small, trembled. Looking at Yang Heshu sitting in the hall and Xiaowei Song standing next to him, even though they had all kinds of doubts and anger in their hearts, they didn't dare to ask questions at this time, for fear of being regarded as the king of Yizhou. The accomplices were also suppressed.
However, there are many wars in the territory under the jurisdiction. Various things, big and small, continue. This time the war is different from before. It started from the inside, so things are more and more chaotic.
Yang Heshu was also inexperienced, but he couldn't help it. He didn't have much expression on his face, and looked very calm.
He started to deal with things in an orderly manner. The Maozhou officials and the Wenshan county magistrate who came over watched and gradually calmed down.
Yang Heshu had been working in the lobby until the third watch, and the busy officials who kept running back and forth were too tired to turn.
He then accepted the words and said, "Let's come here tonight. There are rebellious troops outside. There will only be more people fleeing into the city tomorrow. Come early and arrange for the people affected by the disaster, so that the medicine shops, medical centers and food supplies in the city will be saved." Get ready."
"yes."
Yang Heshu looked up at the sky outside, and sighed, "It's winter, and the weather is getting colder. I hope the military disaster will be over soon."
Otherwise, the weather in Maozhou will not freeze to death, and if you catch the cold, you will die if you lack medical care.
In this world, not everyone can afford medical treatment and medicine.
Everyone agreed, especially the officials in Maozhou. A considerable part of them were natives of Maozhou.
Yang Heshu went to bed, but the king of Yizhou in the mountains couldn't sleep. Some soldiers fled back, and he already knew that the eight thousand troops he had sent out were ambushed.
He sat in front of the case, staring at the map on the case in a daze.
His two sons sat aside in a daze, and there were a few general-looking people sitting under them. Everyone was silent. Let's rest for a while."
The king of Yizhou tightened his cheeks and asked, "How does Ziwen think we can break through?"
The staff did not speak.
A general sitting at the bottom said directly: "My lord, you give the last general 10,000 soldiers and horses, and at the end of tomorrow, I will kill a bloody path for you."
The king of Yizhou was silent for a while and then said: "The brave army in Dongxi Village is gone, why is this king willing to let you take risks? If we bypass this mountain and go out, can't we go straight to Mianzhou?"
"No," Pei Ziwen, the staff member, immediately stopped him, "My lord, you can't enter this deep mountain."
