Chapter 17, Mateng Rebellion
Hearing the sound behind him, Zu Zhao raised an arc at the corners of his mouth, and then turned around and looked at Feng Luoxue standing behind him and smiled, "Xue, how do you know I'm here?"
"Guess." Feng Luoxue smiled mischievously and then sat next to Zu Zhao.
Zu Zhao shook his head and smiled as he was about to say something. Zhang Yuan ran and said, "Reson, it's not good. Now I guess the world will be in chaos soon."
Zu Zhao thought for a moment. The Spirit Emperor has not had any crisis yet. It should be said that it will not be the time of chaos in the world. So he said, "Wen Yuan, take your time. Even if the world is in chaos now, we will still react to us in Liaodong for a period of time."
Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "The latest news is that Emperor Ling has decided to open up the local military power, and the control of the local military power is no longer so strict, and requires to resist the rebellion of Xiliang."
Zui Zhao said lightly, "Didn't the Xiliang rebellion break out during the Yellow Turban Rebellion last year?" Zu Zhao still remembers that Han Sui and Bian Zhang were called Han Yue and Bian Yun respectively.
"At that time, Emperor Ling still felt that the Xiliang rebellion was just a small fight, so he didn't care. Besides, compared with the Yellow Turban Rebellion at that time, the Xiliang Army was really a small witch." At this time, Lu Zhi and Huang Fu Song also came over and said.
"So what's the news from the court now?" Zu Zhao turned his head and asked Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan said, "The spiritual emperor told the world that all aspiring people should go to Liangzhou to help the court clear the rebellion."
"Your Majesty is really a good calculation. Such an order is to let all places form their own armies. Since they are private armies, they definitely need to pay for themselves. However, the Spirit Emperor added an open local military power. Really." Zu Zhao said helplessly.
Huangfu Song said, "But no matter who faces the opening of local military power, he will jump into this pit without hesitation."
Zu Zhao shook his head and continued to ask Zhang Yuan, "So who led the army sent by the court?"
"Emperor Ling once again used Sikong Zhangwen as the riding general holiday, and Yuan Qian as the deputy. Bye Dong Zhuo's defeated general. Zhang Yuandao.
Zuzu Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to the house and look at the map."
Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song glanced at Feng Luoxue's face with the smile of his daughter-in-law, and Zhang Yuan also blinked at Zu Zhao. At this time, Zu Zhao suddenly remembered that Feng Luoxue had been standing beside him, but he ignored his family because of Zhang Yuan's news, and his face also blushed for a while.
Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhang Yuan took the first step when they saw the situation. Feng Luoxue saw Zu Zhao's embarrassed look and couldn't help laughing. He said, "Well, the big thing is the important thing. Go quickly."
Zu Zhao looked at Feng Luoxue's smile and eased a little embarrassment. Then he stepped forward and held Feng Luoxue's hand and said, "When the world calms down, we will find a place to give birth to a lot of dolls."
When Feng Luoxue heard Zu Zhao's words, her face was as red as the sunset glow in the sky. She shook off Zu Zhao's hand and said in shame, "Who wants to have a bunch of dolls with you?" Then he ran away.
Zu Zhao rubbed his nose and shook his head with a smile. He also took a step to discuss the Xiliang rebellion that attracted the attention of the court.
walked into the room and saw that Lu Zhi and others were there. Zu Zhao smiled and said, "I just forgot to ask, how is the attack and defense of the Xiliang army and the court now?"
"Han Sui, Bian Zhang and others have now invaded the cemetery. Zhang Wen and others were temporarily stationed in Meiyang by more than 100,000 troops in each county to Gongwei Garden Mausoleum. Zhang Yuan continued to explain.
Zu Zhao walked to the map and said, "For now, the forward positions attacked by the Xiliang rebels are Hanxing and Chencang. The distance between Hanxing and Meiyang is about one day, while Chencang takes three days."
Huang Fu Song nodded and said, "That is to say, if possible, the defenders can take the initiative to attack. On the one hand, he threatened Chen Cang, so that Bian Zhang would not dare to move again, and then Beigong Boyu left Hanxing City and attacked Hanxing City. In this way, it may be possible to relieve the siege of Meiyang.
"It's not us who lead the army, so we're just talking about soldiers now. Forget it." Lu Zhi couldn't help laughing when he saw Huangfu Song talking more and more.
Zuzuo said, "Actually, I don't think the current Beiliang rebellion needs to be taken too seriously, because first of all, Beiliang's rebellion is not one heart, which gives the court a chance. At the same time, there are still Han people in the Xiliang Army, so I am not optimistic about this rebellion.
Zhang Yuan said, "Then won't it finally sweep the world like the Yellow Turban Rebellion?"
"Of course not." Lu Zhi said, "The Yellow Turban Rebellion took advantage of the people's dissatisfaction with the court, and at the same time, Zhang Jiao's magic campaign led to the final chaos."
"In fact, it can also be said that the main force is different. The main force of the Yellow Turban Rebellion is the people, and the main force of the Xiliang rebellion is only the Xiliang people. This is destined to have a different effect. Huangfu Song followed Lu Zhi's words.
"Actually, the Xiliang rebellion has nothing to do with us, but since His Majesty has begun to relax military restrictions on the place, we will advance some plans for the army a little." Zu Zhao touched the map and said.
"Does that mean we won't participate in this Xiliang rebellion? But how does the court explain this? Zhang Yuan asked.
Zu Zhao smiled and said, "In fact, there is not much difference between us and whether there is a rebellion in Xiliang, but one thing is that we may be used as a gun if we go, so the best decision is not to go. As for the court, guess what?
A black line suddenly appeared on Zhang Yuan's forehead. He didn't expect Zu Zhao to give himself such a sentence, so he directly turned his head aside and didn't bother to pay attention to Zu Zhao like this.
In Zu Zhao's opinion, Luoyang on the map touched and said, "You know, you are still in charge of ten permanent servants, so I believe that for now, they will not offend me, a rich boy. So we don't have to worry about the court at all.
Zhang Yuan was stunned and asked, "So, do we untie it and continue to arrange it according to our plan?"
"No, no, since the court has given us such a good opportunity, how can we ignore it, so our plan still needs to be changed." Zu Zhao waved his hand and said.
"So what are our priorities now?" Zhang Yuan asked.
Zuzu Zhao smiled mysteriously and whispered in Zhang Yuan's ear. After saying that, Zhang Yuan's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he directly lowered his head and walked out of the room.
Both Lu Zhi and Huang Fu Song in this scene have a feeling that the two monks are confused. Zu Zhao looked at the appearance of the two elders and did not say what he had just said, but said, "Teacher, I think I may still have to trouble you to teach my generals some ways to lead the army. We don't have much time."
"What do you think?" Lu Zhi asked.
"The Xiliang Rebellion has been so long. It can be said that it has come to an end. If it continues, it is bound to become a great Han dynasty minister who also participated in the rebellion to form an alliance." Zu Zhao said, "But no matter what, the war will stop because of a potential factor."
Huangfu Song pondered and said, "The spiritual emperor died."
"Yes, once the spiritual emperor dies, it is bound to cause troubled times, and it is still unknown how chaotic it is. The main thing we can do now is to accumulate our own strength so that we can respond to changes. Zu Zhaodao.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then I saw Zu Ji, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yu and Han Dang coming in. At this time, Zhang Yuan still had a black face. Huangfu Song couldn't help asking, "Wen Yuan, what did Liechen say to you just now?"
After hearing this, Zu Zhao couldn't help but smile and say, "I just told him that it is our top priority to eliminate all the potatoes and sweet potatoes that can't be put away."
Hearing Zu Zhao's words, even the corners of the silent Han Dang's mouth rarely touched an arc, and then Zu Zhao said seriously, "Since His Majesty relaxes military power in the place, let's advance the development of the army a little. What's wrong with the formation of Han Dang's heavy cavalry?"
"There is no problem with the horse, and now if the problem is still heavy armor." Han Dang said.
Zu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "What do you think will happen if everyone turns Park Dao into a tomahawk? Can the horses bear it?"
Han Dang thought for a moment and said, "Actually, my suggestion is that the tomahawk is equipped differently. We still have some particularly good war horses, which can be equipped with heavier tomahawks. As for other people, we can be equipped with light axes."
"Well, since it is a heavy cavalry, some of it can also be equipped with shields. Zuji, how's your equipment? Zu Zhao asked.
"Don't worry, the equipment here is at least fully equipped and can have some surplus for the current army, and then it is just right for the immediate equipment. You can start building new equipment. Zu Ji said confidently.
"Okay, I'll give you other drawings later. Wen Yuan, I want to know how our Chamber of Commerce is doing now.
The Chamber of Commerce is already on the right track, and the intelligence network has been roughly completed. We can almost completely control the current movements of the imperial court, but some of the movements of other states have not been able to be controlled too carefully, but it will take three or four months to estimate that it will be almost enough.
Zu Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, that's it. We are almost following the plan now, and then pay attention to the movements of the exiles and expand our army as soon as possible." After saying that, Zu Zhao signaled Zhang Yuan and the four of them to go to work.
"General, there is still something you haven't ordered." Zhang said in a hurry.
Zuo Zhao was stunned. What else was there? Then he looked at Zhang Yu with a questioning expression.
"Do we need to knock on countries around us, such as Goguryeo at the right time?" Zhang Yudao.
Zu Zhao laughed and said, "I forgot this, but I'm not in a hurry. Our current smelting technology has been able to provide us with excellent equipment, but it is said that our new recruits always need to undergo baptism, so the target is them.
Then Zhang Yuan and the four of them arched their hands and left to prepare separately. Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song left late, but left Zu Zhao looking at the map in the house, groping for the map with their fingers, and their thoughts moved accordingly.
The day of the death of the Lingdi is getting closer and closer, and Zu Zhao also feels a sense of oppression from the bottom of his heart. There is not much time left for him to prepare. For now, once the princes in the world rise together, there are actually not many opportunities for him. Therefore, he should take advantage of the present to accumulate strength.
Suddenly, a light flashed in Zu Zhao's eyes, and the corners of Zu Zhao's mouth raised an arc.
