The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 359 The new army goes into battle, equipped with guns

Although most of Rong Xia's subordinates are hooligans, there are quite a few criminals with human lives among them.The guards of the State Shepherd's Mansion were very poor in combat effectiveness, and they were defeated by Rong Xia's men.

Gan Yuanzhong was also captured, and he and his family members were imprisoned in the side hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion.

At this time, Rong Xia had already led his subordinates to the military camp in the city, and asked his subordinates to recruit soldiers.Soldiers who dared to resist him were executed.

He was very satisfied with his decision. In this way, he occupied the Qingzhou government, and then went to capture Dongping tomorrow to form an alliance with Liu Shao.Then let his upper family call more people to join him, and Rong Xia may have the opportunity to take over Chang'an in the future.

He has secretly sent his confidants to Chang'an to deliver a letter. As long as he can solve the garrison in Qingzhou, he will be the king of Qingzhou.

Seeing that Zhang Qi was still whipping the soldiers who refused to take refuge in them, Rong Xia said: "Stop beating, take my letter and find Liu Shao to form an alliance."

Zhang Qi quickly threw away the whip, and led a few people out of the camp with the letter in Rong Xia's hand.

Although Rong Xia is greedy for money and lustful, he is also a thoughtful and delicate person.He knew that he rebelled as an official army, and the imperial court would definitely send a large army to fight against it. If he could not form an alliance with Liu Shao, it would be difficult to stop the imperial court's army.

So he asked his subordinates to go to Jibei Kingdom with gold, silver, treasures, food and supplies.Let Zhang Qi send the letter quickly, just to buy time.

Although I have interests with the powerful family, I still can't compare with the deep-rooted Liu family.He needs to use the Liu family's influence in Qingzhou to gather more people to join him in resisting the imperial army that will arrive soon.

He said to Wei Zhen, his confidant beside him: "Send people to Mount Tai and Yingling, let people from Fang Jin and Mao Ziping come to Zi."

"General, a group of people from the State Shepherd's Mansion have been captured and detained in the State Shepherd's Mansion." A small school reported to Rong Xia.

Rong Xia nodded and said to his confidants: "I'll go and see our state shepherd. After you organize the army, strengthen the city defense.

Taking advantage of the fact that our army has not been exposed, tomorrow I will take my warrant and take someone to take over Dongping, and transfer the food, grass, luggage and all the supplies there to Linzi. "

Coming to the state pastoral mansion, looking at Gan Zhongping who was tied to the pillar, Rong Xia said with a smile: "Master Gan, see if Rong is alive and well."

His arrival made Gan Zhongping extremely indignant, spitting at him and scolding his mother.

After being severely beaten by Rong Xia's subordinates, he still kept cursing: "Rebellious officials and thieves, you will die badly."

Rong Xia laughed angrily at him: "Scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken, other than showing off his quick talk, can you scold Rong to death? When we take Dongping down, we will take your head as a sacrifice to the flag."

Rivers of blood flowed in Linzi tonight, and officials who refused to attach themselves to Rong Xia were brutally killed.The people shut their doors and windows tightly and dared not go out into the streets.

Early the next morning, the bodies on the street had not been cleared away.Rong Xia led people to the city wall and arranged for defensive deployment.

Pointing to the city wall, he said: "The artillery of the imperial court is powerful, and Linzi's thin city walls cannot withstand it. Let the peasants be recruited to build the city. One person from each family, after strengthening the city wall, we will incorporate them into our army."

Wei Zhen nodded in agreement, and asked someone to do it.

Fan Mingjie, who had followed Rong Xia for the longest time, ran over and said, "General, all those who opposed us in the city have been killed. The gates of the four cities have been closed tightly, but we can't wait too long. Spread the word."

Hearing his words, Rong Xia waved his hands and said, "We can take Dongping after only three days. Liu Shao's troops will also come, and the nearest army of the imperial court is in Chaoge.

It will be at least a month before the news of our place spreads, the Ministry of War responds, and Chao Ge's army arrives. "

Having said that, he and his subordinates laughed heartily.

Zhang Qi drove all night and finally arrived in Jibei at noon the next day.After explaining his purpose, the general who was defending the city met Liu Shao.

He handed Rong Xia's letter to Liu Shao, and Liu Shao was very excited after reading it. He always wanted to win Rong Xia over and let him provide him with weapons.Unexpectedly, Rong Xia rebelled. With the example of the rebellion of the Han officials, he just took the opportunity to expand his strength.

Rong Xia said in the letter that he could not bear the persecution of the people by the court, so he had no choice but to raise troops to resist.People have been sent to capture Dongping, hoping that Liu Shao can form an alliance with him.He sent troops to Linzi to carry out an incident together. He had already sent people to deliver grain, grass and supplies to Liu Shao, and he would also prepare two thousand horses for him in Linzi.

So he said to Zhang Qi: "I have read General Rong's letter. I will write a letter in hand. Please take it back with you. Within three days, my son Liu Jai will bring 3 people to Linzi for reinforcements. Jinbei Kingdom is the southern gate of Linzi, I will sit in town, and we will be each other's horns."

Hearing Liu Shao's words, Zhang Qi cupped his hands and saluted and said, "The last general will go back and report to my general!"

After resting overnight, Guo Huai and others rushed to Jinan, where he urgently wanted to lead the new army to Linzi to take over Rong Xia's troops.After the Linzi Prefecture Mufu collects food, it can launch an attack on Liu Shao who is entrenched in Jibei Kingdom.

Jinan Prefecture is the economic center of Qingzhou, adjacent to Jizhou in the north and Kanto in the west, so there are many workshops run by the imperial court in the city.There is an endless stream of caravans coming and going every day, and the line waiting for inspection at the door is lined up for three miles.

Ningsu sent someone to tell the identity of Guo Huai, the captain guarding the city, and then he was able to enter Jinan under the guidance of the guarding soldiers.

The school captain led Guo Huai and others to the prefect's mansion. Jinan prefect Jia Hongxi entertained them and called all the generals of the new army.I used a very interesting excuse to leave, and let Guo Huai and the new army hand over.

The new army has 2000 troops in Jinan, led by General Yamen Meng Jingming, and they have been waiting here for half a month.Now that they have finally waited for Guo Huai, they also want to go to Linzi to complete the handover soon, take over the military affairs of Qingzhou, and then transfer more than 1 people from Buqi and Langya, adding up to 10,000+ people, the rebels in Qingzhou can be put down .

The terrain of Qingzhou is mostly plains, and only the northeastern part near the sea is a hilly area.It is very suitable for the new army to fight, and the hilly area is not occupied by rebels.Bohai is also the largest military port in Qingzhou, which can provide them with support.

After eating and thanking Jia Hongxi, Guo Huai and Ning Su went to the barracks.Looking at their continual guns, as well as a lot of mortars and machine guns, Guo Huai knew that this was the main force of the new army.

It seems that the Ministry of War is still very generous to me, unlike my classmate Wang E, although the official worships General Yamen, the new army under him is a new recruit who has just formed an army.
