The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 386 Yang Yaozhongxiang
Unlike Gan Ning, who was excited alone, how does Lu Heng see this combination? It's very inconsistent. Zhang Yi is a typical literati, dressed in a Confucian uniform, vigorous and upright, but Gan Ning feels like a ruffian to Lu Heng, and He is an old ruffian who has been in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, but Su Fei is like a typical honest person with an honest face.

Lu Heng didn't even know how the Zhang Chu he summoned got mixed up with Gan Ning!
Looking at Hu Yanzan, Tai Shixiang, and Zhuge Liang with an inquiring eye, the three of them should be clear about Gan Ning's matter, not to mention that Lu Heng asked Hu Yanzan to investigate Gan Ning's character. Will not like it, and will not recommend it to myself.

Hu Yanzan, however, avoided Lu Heng's gaze first, and asked instead: "I just saw my lord frowning and thinking, what happened?"

The one Lu Heng frowned was actually the Yuzhou Mountain group. News came from Liu Zan and Jin Yiwei that Zhong Xiang had given up Qu County and retreated to Yuzhou Mountain.

Yuzhou Mountain is the scenic spot of Yuntai Mountain in Lianyungang City in later generations. After the vicissitudes of life, it is just a small island, but it was different at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

Yuzhou Mountain is recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" as one of the Ten Continents, and now it is a large island with an area of ​​several hundred miles, surrounded by the sea, with a sharp bottom and a wide top, turbulent reefs, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

As you can tell from the name, the altitude of this place is much higher than the ground level, and there are many mountains. Moreover, according to Jin Yiwei's report, this place was occupied by pirates from Yang Yao and Zhong Xiang three years ago, and they even built a city on the mountain and robbed the local people. , Waiting for Cao Cao to occupy Xuzhou before he restrained himself.

Even Chang Xi sent troops to encircle and suppress them a few times, but this group of people retreated to Yuzhou Mountain if they couldn't beat them. Chang Xi, who didn't have a navy, had nothing to do with this group of people.

Seeing this Lu Heng gave me a headache. Looking at the terrain, it is exactly the same as the Liangshan Mountain with a lake of [-] miles in Water Margin. The strait of hundreds of miles is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is still Yang Yao and Zhong Xiang!It's just a trick caused by the system!

Let’s talk about Yang Yao, formerly known as Yang Tai, who was originally an official in the Southern Song Dynasty. During the Zhao Gou period of the Southern Song Dynasty, he revolted like Fang La. This person has outstanding military capabilities and political acumen. Program, and adopt the system of "land farming and water warfare" and "combining soldiers and farmers".

To put it simply, the slogan is playing Li Zicheng's set. All the people are soldiers. They are farmers when they are farming, and they are soldiers when they fight. In history, Jingzhou's rich water system was used to make detours.

As for the identities of Yang Yao and Zhong Xiang, the rebels, if they were the northern rebels Ma Kuo, Li Quan, Yang An'er, Wutai Mountain, Red Coat Army, etc., these rebels who fought against the Jin and Mongols with real swords and guns, Lu Heng would admire them very much , It can even be said that the Song Dynasty cannot afford to retreat them, such as Li Quan.

But this Yang Yao and Zhong Xiang, it was in the fourth year of Gaozong Jianyan, that is, in 1130, when Jin Wushu was trapped in Huang Tiandang and rebelled. Wushu is trapped in Huang Tiandang, King Qin who wants your ass?Why didn't you go to Qin Wang when Jingkang was ashamed three years ago.

Zhong Xiang revolted in the first month, founded the state of Chu in the next month, and was known as the king of Chu. He made his eldest son Zhong Ziang the crown prince. Aggression and backstabbing careerists exist, and in a sense Li Zicheng is the same.

It is precisely because of the slogans of Yang Yao and Zhong Xiang that the lower classes were greatly bewitched, and the people in the Dongting Lake area of ​​Jingzhou responded one after another. At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty had already failed several times in encirclement and suppression, and finally dispatched the big killer Yue Fei to exterminate this group of people. From this, it can be seen that Yang Yaozhi is far superior to his predecessor Fang La.

Now Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao have been secretly developing in Yuzhou Mountain for three years, and this "Liangshan" behind him is not stabbed by his back!
At the same time as the Northern Expedition, it is necessary to prevent this group of people from invading at any time. Lu Heng must find a time to pull out this sharp thorn.

Lu Heng saw that Hu Yanzan didn't report the matter of Gan Ning and the three of them first, and he didn't care if he knew that he had to report it alone, so he informed everyone about Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao in Qu County.

"My lord, why is this difficult? Xingba is willing to bring Jinfanying into Yuzhou Island, and get rid of this gang for my lord!"

Gan Ning's volunteered words made Lu Heng's eyes brighten. That's right. Since there are rumors that this group of people are pirates, Gan Ning's unique "temperament" is very easy to get in. The Jinfan thief is famous. As long as Gan Ning gets in, That's very easy to defeat.

Moreover, with the arrival of Hu Yanzan, Zhuge Liang and others, and the shortage of talents around Zhang Yi, Gan Ning and Su Fei were not as short-handed as before. It took time to go undercover for Gan Ning and Su Fei.

"Then there are Lao Ganning and Su Fei, who will cooperate with Jin Yiwei to go to Yuzhou Mountain. After destroying this group of pirates, Xingba and Su Fei will be the first to win!"

Gan Ning and Su Fei looked at each other with great joy: "We will definitely complete the task!"

Some people want to ask if Lu Heng wants to continue to go north to fight Taishan County, why did Gan Ning give up such an opportunity and instead go to exterminate the Yuzhou Mountain gang?
Gan Ning is not a person without brains. Taking this task is for himself and for the brothers of the Jinfan Camp. The Taishan Army Lu Heng will definitely lead the troops to the north in person. With Hu Yanzan and other strong generals who are new to him, he will definitely not get the first job. Well, the extermination of the Yuzhou Mountain group was a complete first achievement, and only with this achievement can the leader of the third battalion water army be firmly seated.

Gan Ning absolutely believes that Lu Heng, who occupies Jiangdong, must have outstanding sailors under his command, and only by obtaining such first achievements can he convince the public and earn the name of Jinfanying.

Gan Ning and Su Fei made arrangements for the time being, and Lu Heng looked at Zhang Wei again: "Now Donghai Xinding is unstable, and there are Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao in the northeast to ensure that our army's northward grain road is smooth. Prefect, and at the same time cooperate with Xingba as much as possible."

"promise!"

After dealing with Gan Ning, Su Fei, and Zhang Yu, Lu Heng left Hu Yanzan and Tai Shixiang to inquire about the situation of the three, especially Gan Ning!
Hu Yanzan sorted out his thoughts and said: "I would like to report to my lord, Zan observes that although Gan Ning is arrogant and unreasonable and full of ruffians, he is still a good general."

"Zhang Kai and Gan Ning are from the same hometown. They grew up. When Yizhou was in chaos, Liu Yan's Dongzhou soldiers had constant conflicts with the local soldiers in Yizhou. Shen Mi and Lou rebelled and implicated Gan Ning. It was Zhang Kai who helped Gan Ning escape to Jingzhou.”

"Now that Zhao Wei's persuasion has failed, Yizhou is in chaos again. This time it is more successful than last time. Liu Zhang is showing signs of being powerless to put down the chaos. Zhang Wei has come to join Gan Ning."

What Hu Yanzan said is similar to Jin Yiwei's investigation. Jin Yiwei's investigation Gan Ning was implicated in his early years, fled to Jingzhou, and at the same time was arrogant and arrogant but did not kill.

In this way, Lu Heng is at a loss. Could it be that Gan Ning in this time and space is not the historical trend, but the Gan Ning in the novel?
