The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 94: Internal Disorders
Sili Xiaowei Department, the most northeastern county seat of Henan County, Chenggao County, which usually has only tens of thousands of people, is gathering more than his 200,000 army at this time.
At this time, General Zhengdong Han Kai was slowly leading his army to the Xuanmen Pass in Chenggao County. This pass is the only gateway to the east of Luoyang. The Hulao Pass in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was created based on this pass.
As one of the eight passes around Luoyang City, Xuanmen Pass assumed the responsibility of defending the east of Luoyang and attacking the princes in the Central Plains.
He usually garrisoned a captain and led a battalion, and two to three thousand people are stationed here. Nowadays, the big man is beacon everywhere, and even the southern rebels have attacked the surrounding area of Luoyang City.
is to arm the army he has just returned from the Xiliangping rebellion, led by the resurgent Dongzhong Lang general Lu Zhi, who has been recommended by the court, and a total of 40,000 people are stationed here.
Now the entire Xuanmen Pass is heavily defensive, and it is full of the meaning of killing Xiao Leng, and the defenders in the pass are all tense.
It’s not the Western Liang rebels outside. The equipment is simple and they don’t even have enough to eat. Although the fighting will is relatively strong, clever women can hardly cook without rice. For those well-equipped and well-trained regular army of the Han That said, it's not a big problem.
and the opposing army of the imperial kingdom, everyone is dressed in leather armor, and they are better equipped than the defenders in the pass. And looking at the number of times they smoked and lit their cigarettes every day, it was not the two meals that the Han army would normally do, but three meals.
, and the faint smell of being blown by the wind from a distance, shows that they still have a meat supply every day. How can this not be envied by the defenders in the pass, and at the same time, I should feel a panic in my heart.
is well equipped, and it can be said that it was originally prepared before the army was born. This can only prove that Yuguo is richer after the looting of the southern conquest!
But three meals a day, meat is constantly eaten, this is not what an ordinary army can do. Often in the army, only those generals who manage his thousands of people can enjoy the treatment.
During the expedition period, the normal army can only eat hard and cold dry food, and this is often a hungry stomach without a meal, and there is often a shortage of food.
and the army on the opposite side not only have a lot of food and grass every day, but also open up the supply of three meals a day, and they will also add his meal every day.
can be said to be extremely attentive, and it is only those generals who are in a superior position that they can enjoy it.
This proves that the opposing army's food and grass are very sufficient, and there will be no shortage for a long time, unlike the army in one's own gate.
Because the imperial court has been fighting for two years, there has been a shortage of food for a long time, so there has been a long-term shortage of munitions.
Except for the people on duty on the city wall, he can eat two full meals, and if he fights at the back, he can only eat one meal, or is it rare? They can only barely guarantee their survival.
And the guard Lu Zhi looked far from above the checkpoint, carefully observed for several days, and found that within the opponent's camp, every time an army was transporting grain and grass.
was not shipped from the same direction, but from all directions, according to the directions of the surrounding counties. This discovery made him faintly chilled, and he couldn't help but have a guess in his heart.
That is, the surrounding counties and gentry have already taken refuge in the group of rebels in front of them, and they have taken it out with all their strength. The past savings of their families and government are used to supply the food and grass of the army in front of them.
That's why the army in front of you can waste food without any worries, without worrying about logistical pressure, because the local government and the family, who control millions of farmers, provide them with food and grass.
eats on the enemy. It was originally a very cruel word, and it often meant very **** killing and looting.
is now ironically refuted. Anyone's definition of it in the past is the loyal and righteous men of the Han court in front of him.
was crying and crying at this moment, and the court wanted to increase their income by a penny in the past. The grain and money that I was crying poor and refused to give were heard desperately sent to the big camp in front of me.
On my own side, the regular army of the Han court representing the righteousness of the world. At this moment, he had to come hungry to resist the attack of these rebellious officials and thieves.
This is not the most terrible. The low morale and crude equipment are not the most terrifying for an army, because such an army can still obey orders.
The most terrifying thing is that someone in the army has already gotten into trouble. They want to commit chaos and cause internal strife. Then a battalion scream will be inevitable.
Most of the parts of his army are private armies of the gentry, and the previous masters of the army are now in front of the checkpoint, loyal to the group of rebels.
What do the low-level soldiers under his own think? Most of their parents and relatives are in the hands of the gentry. Do they dare to ignore their family members and swear to resist their master's new master?
this thought arose in my heart, and I saw the faces of the soldiers on the left and right, and found that some of the soldiers who were clever enough to figure out this issue had strange changes in their faces at this moment.
looked at the chief officials around them with a very strange and malicious look. It seems to be looking at some lambs to be slaughtered, figuring out where to cut better.
found this kind of like a gunpowder barrel, as long as one inducement can explode, there is a threat of sending all the loyal officials of the Han Dynasty to heaven in the entire checkpoint.
Lu Zhi, the main general of this level, did not dare to stay longer, and quickly took his own guards down the city wall. He also sent people to recruit people who he thought were reliable and remained loyal to the Han Dynasty to come to his mansion to discuss how to eliminate this scourge.
That night, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages parked in front of the residence of Lu Zhi, the master general of the pass~IndoMTL.com~. In the whole pass, there are about a hundred of him who will take up official positions.
But only a dozen or so people can be trusted by him and invited to this place. It can be seen how bad the situation inside the pass is today?
At this moment, the guard Lu Zhi is looking anxiously with his subordinates, discussing the emergency situation in the prison, and quarrels rang out from time to time.
Some people think that thunder should be used to gather all other untrustworthy generals together, and then kill them in one fell swoop, so that those soldiers will not have a leader, and they will not be able to overcome the storm.
Some people even think that such a method is too harsh. If it is done, it may arouse the resistance of those soldiers. On the contrary, it will make the soldiers in the entire checkpoint even more chaotic without the leader, so that they will not fight themselves.
Some people think that...
In short, it was chaos, and these generals spent most of the night in a quarrel.
……
However, this quarrel did not continue until dawn, in the middle of the night, on the street outside the gate of the city lord’s mansion.
A group of soldiers wrapped in blue cloth and armed with bladed armor slowly marched towards the direction of the lord’s mansion.
There were people joining along the way, making the army that used to be no more than a few million, but it slowly expanded to tens of thousands of people, and surrounded the lord’s mansion.
These people are the generals of the gentry, and they brought their soldiers to rebel anyway. I plan to hold the guard's head and use it to exchange credit in front of Zhong Yu. Maybe I can seal the country right now!
And the guards of those loyal big guys did not notice the outside situation, the endangerment was beyond his expectation, and it was even more unacceptable.
was in the mansion instead, arguing over the different opinions, with red eyes and ears.
