Volume 6 Chapter 484 The Trap

Du Fu looked at the city official who was obviously looking for trouble in front of him, so angry that he stole the smoke. He hated that he would not have pulled out the machete at his waist and chopped the city official who was ignorant of meat into meat sauce. If he hadn't been responsible for the heavy responsibility, he would have done this. At worst, he would have killed someone and ran away, escaped from Chengdu, and fled back to Dangqu.

But he cannot, he cannot leave Chengdu now, he is responsible for the hidden responsibility on his shoulders, and he must echo the General of Cheqi when necessary. He must make contributions. Only when he makes contributions can the Du family gain benefits.

"Okay, okay, fifty is fifty." Du Fu stuffed the jar of high-quality wild honey into the angry city official's hand, bent down and picked up the Wuzhu coins thrown on the ground by the city official, and forced a smile: "Sir, this is the best honey. If you use it well, you will take care of my business in the future."

"Well, this is almost the same." The city official weighed the pot in his hand and said suspiciously: "Why is it so light? Is it a pound weighing? You won't be short and have less weight. Do you want to deceive me? I feel that it is only eleven or two taels at most."

Du Fu was so angry that his nose was crooked, but he didn't dare to talk back. He comforted himself, forget it, just treat it as feeding the dog, a can of good honey is only 200 yuan, and then the general of the chariot rewarded me a little, and I will make it all back. He laughed with him, took out twenty coins and stuffed it into the hands of the city officials, "I want to hide it from you, it's a little bit. Although it's not eleven or two taels, it's really less than one pound. You are a lot of them, and these... I'm accompanies me, please give me a tribute."

The city official grinned, threw the money twice in his palm, put it back in his arms, held the honey pot, and left proudly. Du Fu's face twisted twice, glared at them viciously, and turned to the angry Baren, saying, "How many times have you told you that you have to bear it these two days and don't cause trouble, why can't you hear them one by one?"

"The head man. It's not that we can't bear it, it's because they're bullying too much."

"If you bully people too much, you can endure it!" Du Bian glared: "There are no Han people saying that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. We don't have to endure for ten years, just ten days."

When the Ba people saw Du Fu angry, they dared not argue anymore, and they all lowered their heads.

"Let's go, I'll ask you to drink and calm down!" Du Fu touched his cramped purse and cursed the city official who should be killed.

On the far-off city building, Jia Long stood on the railing. He watched Du Fu and others turn into the restaurant behind him, then turned around and looked at the city officials who walked up with a can of honey. "Sir, this was bought for thirty dollars. These babies are indeed suspicious."

Jia Long picked up the honeypot and took a look: "How much can these be sold for?"

"This kind of excellent honey can be sold for at least more than 200 yuan."

"What if you buy it?" Jia Long glanced at the city official and said.

"We..." The city official was a little embarrassed. Seeing Jia Long's expression was solemn, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and swallowed: "If we go buy it, it can be 50 or 60 yuan cheaper, but if the price is lowered, those bazi will be anxious."

Jia Long nodded. He knew that these municipal officials were domineering, so he asked specifically, why did these Ba people swallow their anger? Now it seems that something is wrong with these Ba people. He was hesitating whether to capture these Ba people now, or wait a little longer, and try to catch them all in one go. "Ding" a burst of rapid footsteps, and a subordinate appeared at the entrance of the stairs.

"Sir, please go and discuss matters immediately."

"Oh, so anxious?" Jia Long was stunned and put down the honeypot casually: "Do you know what's going on?"

"have no idea."

Jia Long raised his eyebrows. He knew that Liu Yan valued him very much now, but when he came to him so anxiously, there must be something big. He walked quickly towards the stairs, halfway through, folded it back, took the honey pot in his hand, took out a handful of money from his arms and threw it on the table: "I'll sell you extra wine for you."

"Thank you, sir." Several municipal officials hurriedly thanked.

Jia Long left Chengdu, jumped into the car, and rushed all the way to the governor's mansion. Chengdu is not only the governor's mansion in Yizhou, but also the governor of Shu County, or the governor of Chengdu County. These government agencies are all in Yacheng, separated from ordinary people's houses, which is also easy to manage. Yacheng, also known as small towns, is located west of the big city where the people live, a north-south city wall separates the big city from the small city. Chengdu is in the big city.

When Jia Long entered the small town and came to the governor's mansion, Liu Yan had already discussed with Wu Yi and others for a long time. As soon as he saw Jia Long, Liu Yan quickly invited him to sit down. Before he could sit down, Liu Yan hurriedly told the reason for the invitation.

Something happened in Mianzhu.

A few days ago, a group of people who came from somewhere, called themselves the Yellow Turbans, attacked Mianzhu County, killed the county magistrate Li Sheng, raised an anti-flag in Mianzhu, and attracted the people. Mianzhu is the main road to the north of Chengdu. Whether it is to go to Baishui Pass or Hanzhong, they must pass through Mianzhu. The food, grass and supplies needed by Hanzhong also need to be transported from this road. Once Mianzhu is occupied, the connection between Chengdu and Hanzhong will be cut off.

"Yellow Turban?" Jia Long was surprised. As far as he knew, Yizhou was not within the scope of Taipingdao's preaching, and Yizhou had never heard of Taoist priests from Taipingdao. Why did a yellow Turban suddenly appear?

"It doesn't matter whether it is the Yellow Turban." Liu Yan was a little confused. "The most important thing now is to recover Mianzhu and wipe out this chaotic people, otherwise Hanzhong will be in danger."

Jia Long was silent for a moment, and he was also shocked by the news, and at the same time he could understand Liu Yan's mood more. If Mianzhu was allowed to be occupied by the rioters and Hanzhong and Chengdu would lose contact, the morale of the army would inevitably be unstable. Chengdu would have no way to know what Liu Xiu's actions were. No matter what the rioters were, they could not sit idly by.

"How will the envoy arrange it?"

Liu Yan was a little hesitant. Before Jia Long came, he had already discussed with Wu Yi, hoping that Wu Yi could lead troops to fight against the rioters in Mianzhu, but Wu Yi refused, because he was not familiar with the situation in Yizhou and it would be difficult to quell the rebellion in the short term. The longer the delay, the more unfavorable it would be for Liu Yan. Therefore, it would be better to use local generals in Yizhou to avoid them from feeling irritated.

Liu Yan also knew this truth, but he was worried that once the military power fell into the hands of the locals in Yizhou, it would be difficult for him to come back. The remaining ten thousand people were the last elite. Whoever handed over these military powers would be equivalent to handing over his life to whom.

But Wu Yi said it makes sense. The most important thing now is to quell the rebellion as soon as possible. Locals who are familiar with the situation should be used, and the most suitable candidate is Jia Long in front of him.

"Qiande, I want to ask you to lead your troops. How many people do you think are more suitable?"

Jia Long thought for a moment: "Five thousand people, no matter how small it is, I'm afraid some are not enough."

Liu Yan's eyes twitched. There were only 5,000 people. Can so many people be used to fight some rioters? His eyes moved to Wu Yi's face, and Wu Yi nodded and said yes. Liu Yan had no choice but to smile and said, "Then it's time for Qiande. Please Qiande to set off quickly and not let the rioters become arrogant."

"Yes." Jia Long stood up and thanked him. He said again: "I have a word from you, please accept it."

"you say."

"After I leave the city, please make sure that you don't leave Chengdu again. It's best... even be careful when you leave the small city."

Liu Yan was stunned and then his face turned red. It seemed that Jia Long disagreed with his private visit to Huming Mountain. He responded, and then ordered someone to take Jia Long as the captain, and asked Wu Yi's clan brother Wu Ban to be the fake captain, and followed Jia Long to Mianzhu to quell the rebellion. Jia Long knew that Wu Ban was the military supervisor, but he had no choice. Liu Yan could not be completely relieved. It was precisely because of this that he did not dare to ask for more people. According to his own ideas, if he wanted to quell the rebellion at the fastest speed, at least 7,000 to 8,000 people were required. But in that case, I was afraid that Liu Yan would not let him lead his troops to quell the rebellion.

Jia Long also considered whether these people would be the surprise soldiers sent by Liu Xiu, but this idea was immediately removed by him. It was impossible for Liu Xiu to send too many surprise soldiers. It is unlikely that he would have such a big momentum. He was not familiar with the place, so how could those refugees listen to him? His greatest dependence in Yizhou was the Heavenly Master Dao, and the Heavenly Master Dao is now completely controlled by them. Even if a few people escape, all the important figures are in their control, so how could they cause such a big stir?

In Jia Long's opinion, this should be because some people took advantage of the situation to rob, perhaps to echo Liu Xiu, but this is a group of mobs, and when the army arrives, it will naturally be pacified.

If Jia Long knew that these people were tinkered with by Liu Xiu, he would not leave Chengdu no matter what, and he would definitely defend Chengdu City to the death, wait for Liu Xiudun's troops to strengthen the city, and then go out to the city to fight back, instead of rushing to Mianzhu to fight Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiubu made this game just to lead Jia Long out of Chengdu. It can even be said that the target was Jia Long, and it doesn't matter how many soldiers he led. Liu Xiu knew Jia Long from Zhang Ren's mouth. Although he didn't know who Jia Long was, he had some impression of Zhang Ren. Among the generals in Yizhou, two are well-known - Gan Ning is not counted. Liu Xiu did not know until he met him that he was originally from Yizhou - one was Yan Yan and the other was Zhang Ren, who shot Feng Chu Pang Tong to death on Luofengpo. Some unofficial history even says that Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu were brothers of the same school, both of Tong Yuan's disciples, so they learned how to pay the phoenix spear, which was called the gun group. In fact, there was no name for the gun in the Han Dynasty weapons, let alone the Hundred Birds and Pang Gun. The gun was changed to the gun because the length of the spearhead of the spear became shorter after the advancement of iron smelting technology.

Zhang Ren is from Shu County and is from a poor family. Because of his good martial arts, he went to the governor's mansion to work as a small official and usually does some chores. This time he brought fifty people to take care of the Tianshi Dao priest in Langzhongzhi. It was his first time to do things. He never thought that he would smash it for the first time. More than a dozen people died and five or six were injured. He himself was hit by two masters, Xu Qian and Liu Xiu. If it weren't for Liu Xiu's mercy, he would have died long ago.

When Zhang Ren learned that the famous general of the chariot and cavalry in front of him was not coming back to his senses for a long time. However, he did not know about Liu Yan's rebellion, but he just thought it was because of the rebellion of the Heavenly Master. Liu Yan wanted to deal with them. After Liu Xiu talked about what Liu Yan did, Zhang Ren woke up in a dream and surrendered without saying a word. He knew that Liu Yan was a royal family and Liu Xiu was also a royal family, but Liu Xiu's royal family was a royal family with great military achievements. It was not so much that it was inherited, but Liu Xiu himself cut it out. As a poor warrior with no family background, Zhang Ren was of course more inclined to Liu Xiu in terms of emotion than Liu Yan's Confucian family.

What's more, Liu Yan has the problem of rebellion.

Zhang Ren revealed the situation in Chengdu. Although his official position was not high and he had limited knowledge, he provided a very important news. His immediate superior, Jia Long, was good at using troops, and he was very knowledgeable about Liu Xiu's battle examples in daily life. He often told them that Liu Xiu was a genius in military use, but he was too easy to use and dangerous. If he did not get rid of this problem, he would sooner or later lose.

Liu Xiu was very curious about Yizhou having such a soulmate who was quite knowledgeable about him, but he soon realized that the crises he encountered might all come from the unknown Jia Longjia, so he adopted Guo Jia's suggestion and invaded the incident in Mianzhu area and forced Jia Long out of the city to fight.

The geographical location of Mianzhu is important, and Liu Yan cannot ignore it. Jia Long is the one who can take on this important task at the moment. If Liu Yan refuses to let Jia Long come, it would be better. Liu Xiuda can eat up the reinforcements one by one and then watch Liu Yan sit in the lonely city.

If you attack him, you will definitely save him. Guo Jia's plan was as accurate as the silver needle in Wang Zhi's hand, and he would not let him follow him.

The attack on Mianzhu is very simple. The Ma family in Langzhong provided information at this time. The Ma family had a distant tribe named Ma Xiang in Mianzhu. He was a poor man. In order to make a living, he had been selling goods between Hanzhong and Chengdu for many years, which was similar to the Bangbang Army in later generations. This Ma Xiang was quite brave and loyal, so he had many friends. If he came forward to gather the poor uprisings, it would be difficult for Liu Yan to suspect Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu was very happy and immediately found this horse star. As the saying goes, people are poor and brave. This horse star is probably really scared. When he heard that he had the opportunity to be rich, he immediately agreed. In a few days, he gathered more than 2,000 people. Liu Xiu did not appear from beginning to end, and this opportunity to lead the troops was given to Zhang Ren and Gan Ning. Zhang Ren was overjoyed and felt that General Cheqi looked down on him too much. He gave him such an important task for the first time. It was a pity to not take down Mianzhu. As for Gan Ning, let alone, being able to kill and set fire openly and make contributions is obviously a great thing for him.

So the matter became simple. Zhang Ren and Gan Ning led the two thousand rascals and eight hundred rogue boys to easily break through Mianzhu County. Gan Ning took the lead in killing the city. With the bell ringing, Mianzhu made Li Sheng cut off his head before he even surrendered.

The city of Mianzhu was broken, and the rebels who pretended to be Yellow Turbans were powerful. More people came to vote, and in just two or three days, it increased to five or six thousand. Guo Jia asked them to pretend to be ten thousand and then attack Luo County. Luo Ling was so scared that while strengthening his defense, he sent the news to Chengdu.

Jia Long just took 5,000 people out of Chengdu and headed straight to the trap Guo Jia set specially for him!!!
