The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 466 Hou Yin Rebellion
Danyang County is now Zhang Wu's territory. Compared with most people in the world, Zhang Wu can be regarded as an "economic master."

In addition to Danyang County, two large copper mines were newly discovered in the Eastern Han Dynasty, one in Sichuan and the other in Yunnan.

In addition, Zhang Wu also knows that there are copper and gold mines in Taiwan. He has already sent people to start mining. Japan is rich in gold and silver. In the near future, Japan will become the territory of China. At that time, he will send the navy The gold and silver from the Japanese islands were continuously transported to the mainland of China.

Zhang Wu still remembered that there was a place in Hong Kong called Causeway Bay. Since the name contained the word "copper", maybe there were copper mines there too. Zhang Wu had ordered Lu Meng in Guangzhou to send someone to check it out.

In response to Zhang Wucong's harassment at sea, Cao Cao had no choice but to order the recruitment of new soldiers and transfer of strong men to build coastal defenses, and at the same time increase taxes.

The people in the north were not rich in the first place, and now life is even more difficult.When Cao Cao raised taxes in Huainan, it aroused the dissatisfaction of the local family and the people, which eventually led to Lei Xu's rebellion and surrender to Zhang Wu, and Cao Cao lost Huainan, a strategically important place.

This tax increase caused another rebellion in another place.

Since Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao, the Nanyang Basin has fallen into Cao Cao's hands for 15 years, and Wancheng has also become Cao Cao's bridgehead to attack Jingzhou and the forward position to resist Zhang Wu's northward advance.

Later, the two sides also had many battles in the Nanyang Basin, because Cao Jun could not cross the Han River without a navy, and Zhang Wu could not regain Nanyang without cavalry, so the two sides have maintained their current state.

The Nanyang Basin is surrounded by mountains and is located in the heartland of China. The central part of the basin is an alluvial-diluvial and alluvial-lacustrine plain. There are major rivers such as the Tang River, the Bai River, the Tuan River, the Dan River, and the Han River, the largest tributary of the Yangtze River.With beautiful scenery, mild climate, abundant rainfall and fertile land, it is a geomantic treasure land rich in grain.

Although Nanyang used to belong to Jingzhou, it was taken by Cao Cao. It is useless for Zhang Wu to be greedy. He cannot take it back without cavalry, so he can only send a small army to harass it.

Originally, given the geographical conditions of the Nanyang Basin, even if the people living here could not live affluently, they should be able to have enough food and clothing. However, because of the heavy and miscellaneous taxes, the life of the aristocratic families and the common people in Nanyang was actually difficult.

Nanyang used to belong to Jingzhou, but now many generals under Zhang Wu's command are from Nanyang. For example, Gan Ning's ancestral home is Nanyang, and generals Huang Zhong, Wenpin, Wei Yan, and Li Yan are all from Nanyang.Therefore, the Nanyang family has a deep relationship with the Jingzhou family. Many families are married to each other. Although they are located in two places, they often communicate in private.

So the aristocratic families and people in Nanyang are very dissatisfied with the reality. Look at the relatives in Jingzhou, what kind of life are they living, what kind of life are we living?If we are also under the rule of Chu Hou, will life be so difficult?

This time Cao Cao's tax increase completely detonated the powder keg of Nanyang, and the Nanyang locals who had long been dissatisfied exploded.

Hou Yin, the guard of Wancheng, is a native of Nanyang. He was originally dissatisfied with the heavy corvee and taxes in Nanyang, but because of Cao Cao's power, he has always had heavy troops stationed in Wancheng, and there are also important clan generals like Xiahou Dun and Cao Chun. , so I dare not express it.

Now Xiahou Dun went to Wudu and took away the most elite tiger and leopard riders. Cao Chun died of illness, and even Man Chong was transferred to Runan by Cao Cao to assist Cao Ren in guarding Yuzhou.Since Hou Yin usually disguised himself very well, when these generals left, Hou Yin became the guard of Wancheng.

So Hou Yin and Wei Kai, a local general in Nanyang, launched a rebellion together. Many of the defenders in Wancheng were locals from Nanyang, and they rebelled together under Hou Yin's call.Their plan was to quickly capture Dongli Gun, the prefect of Nanyang, and then send a letter to Guan Yu in Fancheng while holding on to the city, willing to take refuge in Zhang Wu.

As long as they stick to Wancheng for a period of time, after Zhang Wu's army arrives, Nanyang will belong to Zhang Wu.

This guy Dongli Gun was born in a noble family. He had some reputation and talent at the time. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have let him serve as the prefect of such an important place in Nanyang. However, there was Cao Ren in Nanyang County before, and Xiahou Dun later, so he said no. Calculate.

Now the mothers-in-law who were pressing on Dong Ligun's head are gone, and Dong Ligun, who can finally speak loudly, finds that there are few useful people under his command, so he regards Hou Yin, who usually performs well, as his confidant and favorite general.

Dongli Gun is actually quite sad in history. Sima, who was transferred from the prefect of Nanyang to the left general Yu Jin, surrendered to Guan Yu together with Yu Jin after Yu Jin was captured alive by Guan Yu.Later, after Guan Yu was defeated by Sun Quan, Dongli Gun surrendered to Sun Quan along with Yu Jin, and later Sun Quan released Yu Jin and Dong Li Gun back to the state of Wei.

After Hou Yin and Wei Kai launched a rebellion, they immediately led the troops to the prefect's mansion to capture the prefect Dongli Gun.

After Dong Ligun received the news, he didn't dare to organize a resistance, but took some officials around him and started to run away.After Hou Yin found out that the prefect had escaped, he immediately sent cavalry to chase them down, and caught up with Dongli Gun ten miles away from the city.

At this time, there was only one person left who had fled with Dong Ligun, and the rest were dead or scattered. Seeing that they had no intention of stopping, the rebels began to shoot arrows.

At this critical moment, the only remaining official beside Dong Li Gun sacrificed himself to protect Dong Li Gun, and used his body to shield the prefect from arrows.

This guy is called Ying Yu, who is a meritorious service officer in Nanyang County. He was shot into a hedgehog and he is still alive. Those who punish the Nine Clans, King Wei's army will come to put down the rebellion soon, are you going to be punished by the Nine Clans together with him? I believe that you are good people, and you have to do such a thing. It's too late to turn around now, don't I will follow Hou Yin's command again. I will now replace the prefect with my own body and life. If I can save the prefect with my death, I will have no regrets."

After finishing speaking, Ying Yu died crying loudly. Seeing that he was loyal and strong, the rebel soldiers spared Dong Li Gun's life, and only took him back and handed him over to Hou Yin.

The prefect was arrested, and the rest of the people who were loyal to Cao Cao had no leaders and could not organize to resist, so Wancheng fell into Hou Yin's hands.

At this time, there are two places where Cao Jun can quickly send troops to quell the rebellion, one is Xuchang and the other is Runan.Xuchang has the imperial forest army controlled by Cao Zhen, and Runan has Cao Ren, Zhang Liao, Le Jin and Li Dian.

Cao Ren, Zhang Liao, and Le Jin originally led troops to support Hanzhong, but after Cao Cao received the news that Hanzhong had been lost, he ordered them to recall the troops and let them guard Yuzhou, while Cao Cao returned to Yecheng.

Because Zhang Wu sent his top general Gan Ning to Huainan, Cao Cao arranged so many strong generals to defend.

Wancheng has been occupied by Cao Cao for more than ten years and has been safe and sound, so Cao Cao was a little careless.However, in Cao Cao's view, Wancheng is very close to Xudu and Runan. Even if it is attacked, it can be defended for five days until reinforcements arrive.If Zhang Wu sent out fewer troops, Wancheng would definitely be able to defend it. If Zhang Wu sent out more troops, Cao Jun would definitely know about it in advance.

It's just that Cao Cao, Cao Ren and others didn't expect a rebellion in Wancheng. The rebels quickly captured the prefect and occupied the city.
