Chapter 640: Tacit understanding
The Black Mountain Army is an army that emerged after the Yellow Turbans of the Han Dynasty. It is interesting to talk about. I wonder if it is a rule passed down from Liu Xiu''s time. First there were Green Forest and Red Eyebrows, and now there are Yellow Turbans, and then Baibo, Montenegro, anyway, in the Han Dynasty, the rebel army was just about color.
"Black Mountain Bandits..." Wang Yi rolled his eyes, doubtful, "...Thieves like this are not easy to deal with..."
??The reason why Wang Yi dared to come when Fei Qian''s army was pressing on the border was that he had some contacts before, and the other most important reason was that Fei Qian could not take action.
It’s not that I don’t dare, it’s that I can’t.
?Unless Fei Qian is a fool like Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha.
?Fei Qian does not have many people under his command, except Wang Yi, but who can take his place? Not to mention whether it would be possible for a person with insufficient qualifications to rush to the position to convince the public, and the imperial court may not let the power of this relatively good county in Hedong fall by the wayside and sit idly by.
What''s more, if Fei Qian doesn''t follow the rules, he will get a bad reputation, and not many people will take the initiative to seek refuge in him in the future.
Just like the Montenegrin Army.
Strictly speaking, the Black Mountain Army is so powerful that no one is willing to provoke it easily. It is known as a million-strong army. Although it has some water content like Bai Bo''s hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it is obviously two different weight levels.
People like Fei Qian and Wang Yi, or people like Er Yuan, Cao Cao and others, although they support their own troops, they still respect the Han Emperor in name. However, the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army are all ordinary people living at the lowest level at that time. . Black Mountain is located at the southern end of the Taihang Mountains, and its activity area is among the valleys of the Taihang Mountains in Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, Hanoi and other places.
Ordinary people have no concept of numbers, and they may not be able to count clearly. Therefore, the statistics of slogans for a million-strong army are mostly imaginary numbers. However, if you fold it in half, there are still more than 300,000, 400,000, and 500,000.
?Of course, these numbers include the elderly and the weak.
So converted, the number of soldiers should be about 100,000.
Wang Yi shook his head and said: "The thieves burned down the government, robbed the towns, lost control of the prefectures and counties, and brought the people with them. The crime was extremely heinous. Zhonglang wanted to punish it. The merit lies in the country and benefits the people. But...the thieves in the Black Mountains hide in the mountains and communicate with each other." , turned to attack Zechuan, one after another, the battle array was inconvenient to operate, and conquests have always been unfavorable... In the past, Emperor Ling was also powerless, so he conferred Zhang Yan as the hero of the disaster, and he will use it as a stopgap..."
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was constrained by the Western Qiang because of his military strength. After sending troops to Shangdang and Hanoi several times but all failed, he just pinched his nose and recognized it. When Zhang Yan asked for surrender, he named a general who was in trouble. To him, in addition to several other Montenegrin leaders who were also given the title of captain with various titles.
Although they are called Zhonglang General or Xiaowei, these miscellaneous titles are very different from those of Fei Qian''s Protector Zhonglang General and the official names of Zhonglang General such as facial features and left and right, just like how the bandits in later generations would also call the bandit leader. Just like the commander...
Therefore, the vast majority of people in the officialdom understood that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was just a temporary measure, so they did not regard Zhang Yan and others as fellow-minded people. The fact that Wang Yi called him by his first name showed this. a little.
"Now there are Yudu, Bairao, Suigu and other tribes plundering Ji and Yan. The prince is smart and smart. You should know why..." Fei Qian naturally needs an explanation for sending troops, and this explanation needs to conform to the ideas of most people. .
Wang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a while, and said, "Could it be that... there is a shortage of supplies in the mountains?" Since he has been recruited, he naturally has to behave calmly, but now he has sent out most of his troops to sneak out of the Taihang Mountains and loot the surrounding area. County, then there are only two reasons. One is that some people are restless, and the other is that there is no food in the mountains...
Comparatively, there is a higher possibility that there will be no food in the mountains.
After all, there are still a lot of rocks in the Taihang Mountains, but the rocks cannot be used as food. Zhang Yan has a large population. How much supply will he have even if he hunts in the mountainous area?
Fei Qian nodded and said: "Your Majesty is indeed a wise man, so I did not go into the mountains to look for traces of thieves, but just stationed troops on the mountain paths..."
Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he sighed: "Wonderful! Zhonglang has a perfect plan, I admire him deeply!" He couldn''t help but sigh in his heart, despite his young age, he is really cunning and cunning. In this way, Fei Qian was blocked. The return home of the Black Mountain bandits who went out to plunder was a heavy blow to the people in the Taihang Mountains, and they did not have to lose their troops. After all, the opponents of the Black Mountain bandits who were fleeing outside were the county soldiers in Jizhou and Yanzhou. They did not deal with the Black Mountain bandits. Neither can the army. In turn, we have to thank Fei Qian for cooperating in the interception...
?This is almost a good strategy that doesn’t take much effort but can benefit in several aspects!
?No wonder this Fei Qian rushed here in such a hurry, he simply reaped the rewards! If you had as many troops as Feiqian, you would definitely want to participate...
Alas, what a pity! Why didn''t I think of it earlier?
Wang Yi thought he had seen through Fei Qian''s plan. While he felt that Fei Qian was a little eager for quick success, he also had to admire Fei Qian''s military action as it was just right. He could get benefits from the court and sell it to Yuan. The most important thing about riding a bicycle is that you don’t have to go into the mountains to do the thankless encirclement and suppression. You can achieve achievements easily...
Looking at Wang Yi''s somewhat envious look, Fei Qian cupped his hands and said: "Haha, the prince is too praised. A few days ago, he played against Xianbei and got a few foals. Unconsciously, he didn''t know the good and the bad. He heard that the prince was deeply involved in Bole. I would also like to ask the prince to identify one or two of them on your behalf..."
Wang Yi naturally understood what this meant, so he laughed, waved his hands, and declined.
Fei Qian said seductively: "Your Majesty, you think it''s too late to conceal yourself? We are both contributing to the country, so how can we differentiate between each other? How can the friendship between me and your Majesty be considered close or distant?" I have good interests, so naturally I will not forget you, Wang Yi, but The same goes for the relationship between you and me. Don’t forget...
Since Fei Qian said this, Wang Yi pretended to be helpless and agreed to accept it.
Hehe, hehe.
The two of them shared a harmonious smile.
??Wang Yi said: "Zhonglang, please relax your mind and eliminate the banditry. The city will definitely support you!" Support what? Do you support the annihilation of the Montenegrin Army? No, Wang Yi will not send troops, nor will he send food and grass except for the consolation gifts he brought today. What support does he have?
?So Wang Yi also means that the governor of Bingzhou is coming. I know what to do...
Hehe, hehe.
?Wang Yi and Fei Qian looked at each other, and then laughed tacitly.
After getting to know each other a little bit and understanding what needs to be done, it’s time to perform...
Fei Qian hosted a banquet for Wang Yi and his entourage, openly thanking Wang Yi for his support on behalf of the people of Hedong, and expressed that for the sake of peace and stability in the two places, it was his duty to eradicate banditry...
??Wang Yi also expressed his affirmation of Fei Qian, wishing Fei Qian all the best in his trip and quelling the thieves...
In this way, it is natural for the guest and the host to enjoy themselves.
Looking through the news recently, there are only two items that interest me...
One is from the previous month, the typhoon in Hong Kong and Macao. The soldiers rushed in with a shovel to rescue. The people also obeyed the arrangement, and it was all done in less than three days...
There is also a typhoon in the United States. Soldiers have to drive tanks into the neighborhoods to rescue. If rescue is not done in time, the American people will be very angry and shoot. They can’t clean it up in a week...
Well, it’s in the eye of the beholder…
The other one is to evacuate overseas Chinese...
There’s nothing to say about this, just like it…
