Chapter 306： Hou Jing's Rebellion

　Jiujiang County, north of Shouchun City, Cosmos General Hou Jing lured Yuan Shu’s 20,000 cavalry to rebel, burned, looted and looted all the way, obtaining a lot of loot.

Hou Jing was originally looting in Pengcheng State. When Chu Tian attacked him before leaving Pengcheng State, Hou Jing quickly led his troops to escape from Pengcheng State and returned to Jiujiang County.

Even when he returned to his lord’s territory, Hou Jing still ransacked the villages and towns to appease the cavalry under his command. At the same time, he absorbed a large number of people who wanted to participate in the burning, killing and looting, and strengthened his troops.

"General, a stranger wants the villain to hand this letter to the general."

A Yuan Shu’s cavalry looked at the general Hou Jing in awe and feverishness.

Because of Hou Jingzong's looting, every cavalryman is now very rich, full of gold and silver in his arms, and awe of Hou Jing.

Hou Jing took the letter, looking at ten lines.

Hou Jing hurriedly read it through, and said in fear: "The person who wrote the letter knew that I wanted to capture Shouchun City. This stranger has some ability. If it can be used by me, as my military master, great things can be accomplished. Is the stranger still there? ?"

"Back to the general, after the stranger left the letter, he has left."

"If you let him go, could it be that you took advantage of him?"

"He did give the villain ten...twelve taels of silver. And he was just a messenger. I am afraid that someone else actually wrote this letter."

"I lack a military division. But it doesn't matter if that stranger is unwilling to work for me. I can get a military division."

Hou Jing gathered his cavalry and newly joined infantry.

He divided the cavalry and infantry into simple divisions according to the organization of thousands and centurions, and he proclaimed himself the "universal general". In a sense, General Universe is currently the highest self-appointed official position in the Eastern Han Dynasty, even more majestic than the emperor.

About thirty thousand commanders were gathered by Hou Jing. This group of commanders was promoted by Hou Jing and gained a lot of benefits when working for Hou Jing. Now they subconsciously believe that following Hou Jing can have more gold, silver and women. .

Hou Jing possesses the ability to "instigate" and has a fatal attraction to some greedy soldiers.

"Brothers, the nearby villages and towns have already been robbed by us. We betray Yuan Shu and our master, and we will soon fall into ruin. They will send troops to surround us. We will all be captured and executed!"

Hou Jing threatened his subordinates.

Sure enough, Hou Jing's intimidation had an effect. The commanders under his command had experienced crazy looting and gradually calmed down. Thinking of what they did, they would undoubtedly be hated by all lords. Killing them all will be a great excitement.

Hou Jing saw that the commanders were afraid and knew that the hearts of the people were available: "Huainan has a vast land, vertical and horizontal waters, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Shouchun City has a lot of gold, silver, grain and grass, and women. , I will make you all generals! At that time we will own the land, and everything on the land will be our spoils!"

The commanders under Hou Jing were instigated by Hou Jing and fell into madness again. One of the commanders grew up and shouted: "Break through Shouchun, there will be glory and wealth!"

"Break through Shouchun, full of glory and wealth!"

Under Hou Jing's instigation, more than 30,000 rebels marched south to attack Shouchun City.

Hou Jing's loyalty was not low before following the prefect of Jiujiang County, but with his defeat in the Battle of Pengcheng and Chen Qingzhi, who did not suppress him, Hou Jing's loyalty dropped rapidly, and finally set off a rebellion and aggressively attacked Huainan.

Hou Jing has a Huren cavalry, which is a special army recruited by the prefect of Jiujiang using Yuan Shu's architecture and influence. At this time, he became the vanguard of the invasion of Huainan.

Although he claims to be a little arrogant as the General of the Universe, Hou Jing is a capable and brutal cavalry general. He led the Hu Ren cavalry and Yuan Shu’s mutinous cavalry forward and attacked Shouchun.

"Why hasn't Chen Qingzhi's whereabouts been yet, is he already killed or captured alive?"

The prefect of Jiujiang fled back to Shouchun after the Battle of Pengcheng, but Chen Qingzhi was still missing. There are only two possibilities, either Chen Qingzhi died in battle, or Chen Qingzhi was captured by Chu Zi.

No matter which result it was, it was a fatal blow to him.

Guo Jia took the initiative to visit the prefect: "Subordinates heard that Hou Jing was looting villages and towns in Pengchengguo when he was withdrawing troops. They believed that Hou Jing would be countered, and asked the lord to immediately strengthen the defense of the city gate to prevent Hou Jing from attacking Shouchun City."

Jiujiang Prefect was puzzled: "Hou Jing was quite loyal, so I asked him to accompany him to attack Xuzhou. Why did the military think that Hou Jing would turn against him?"

"There are three reasons. First, Hou Jing is cruel and loyal to the lord, just because the lord was gracious to him in the past, which can satisfy his greed, and Chen Qing's restraint, dare not be rebellious, but Pengcheng's defeat, Hou Jing sees There is no hope for the lord to take Xuzhou, and Chen Qingzhi disappears without a trace. His ambition will surely grow. Time passes, and people's hearts are unpredictable."

"Secondly, if he is loyal to his lord, he should immediately lead his troops to join the lord after the battle of Pengcheng to protect the lord’s safe return to Shouchun City. Why should he rob villages and towns in Pengcheng State or even in the northern part of Jiujiang County? , For your own use only."

"Third, the lord is newly defeated, and the hearts of the people are floating. If there is rebellion, this is the best time to take Shouchun City."

Guo Jia's words made the Jiujiang prefect's face look bad.

In fact, he felt suspicious about Hou Jing's delay in coming to reunite. At this time, Guo Jia's analysis almost confirmed that Hou Jing's loyalty had fallen to the level of betrayal.

"Lord, Hou Jing cavalry rushed for hundreds of miles, and they have appeared outside Shouchun City!"

Just as the Jiujiang prefect was preparing to increase the number of guards at the gates, Hou Jing, who was good at using cavalry tactics, had already approached the city, broke through the gates of Shouchun City, and drove straight ahead!

Shouchun City shouted and killed everywhere, and there was chaos.

"The military division will follow me out of the city, and we will seek refuge in Yuan Shu."

Jiujiang prefect facing the rebellion Hou Jing, no military commander can suppress him, can only choose to flee with Guo Jia.

In name, he is still Yuan Shu's subordinate, and Guo Jia as a military adviser. As long as Yuan Shu is used again, he may not have the chance to make a comeback.

Guo Jia was still loyal to the Jiujiang prefect, and followed the Jiujiang prefect, under the protection of hundreds of soldiers, and retreated.

Hou Jing entered the city from the north gate, and the prefect of Jiujiang fled in the direction of the west gate.

Just when the prefect of Jiujiang saw the Xicheng Gate and thought that he could escape, Hou Jing led the Huren cavalry to kill.

The hoof of the war horse galloped on the street, the surrounding shops were destroyed, and the Huren cavalry used sabers to slash and kill civilians in the way.

is not only the Huren cavalry, the rebellious Yuan Shu cavalry is also fierce, burning and looting in the city of Shouchun. Now the entire Shouchun City is their trophy!

Hou Jingzong soldiers slaughtered, the soldiers of Jiujiang prefect fell one after another, leaving only dozens of people.

"Isn't this the lord? With the military division, where do you want to escape?"

Hou Jing rode a war horse, spinning around Jiujiang Prefect and Guo Jia.

Faced with a large number of cavalry, the Jiujiang prefect knew that he could not break through: "Hou Jing, it seems that the previous kindness, let me go. Don’t forget that when you were surrounded by the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army, I led my troops to save you. Because of this kindness, I don't think you will betray, and that's why you are used."

Hou Jing pointed at Guo Jia with a horse whip: "I want to achieve a major event, but I still lack a military division. If your general division lends me to me, I can say that I will let you off on my previous kindness."

The prefect of Jiujiang was embarrassed. He handed over Guo Jia, undoubtedly asking Guo Jia to be a tiger, and at the same time putting Guo Jia in danger.

Hou Jing also knew that he was lacking in resourcefulness. If he wanted to be king and emperor, he must have a counselor, so he hit Guo Jia's idea.

"If the lord can escape, how about serving Hou Jing by filial piety?"

Guo Jia was the prefect of Jiujiang, so he said to Hou Jing: "I have to witness the lord out of the city with my own eyes before I can serve you."

"I promise you."

Hou Jing waved his hand, and the Huren cavalry gave way to a passage. The Jiujiang prefect and dozens of soldiers were able to leave the occupied Shouchun City.

"Everything is on my own account, and it also hurts the military division. If there is a chance..."

The prefect of Jiujiang felt extremely resentful towards Hou Jing and planned to endure the humiliation, and later tried to use Yuan Shu's power to kill Hou Jing.

"Lord, please take care." Guo Jia's voice suddenly lowered, "I will try to get out in the future..."

The Jiujiang prefect knew that with Guo Jia's ability, the possibility of getting out of Hou Jing's hands was not low, so he felt a little relieved, so he took dozens of soldiers out of the city.

Just as Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly there were shouts of murder outside the city. Hundreds of cavalry wielding sabers appeared, massacring the Jiujiang prefect and his soldiers who had left the city!

The Jiujiang prefect and dozens of soldiers were ambushed, the entire army was annihilated, and corpses were everywhere.

Guo Jia witnessed the change, his pupils widened, his hands were clenched, his nails were in his flesh, and his body was shaking.

Hou Jing’s rampant laughter sounded in his ear: "Hahaha, I have already ambushed a cavalryman at the west gate, but they will kill everyone who escapes from the gate. Military division, this time you are miscalculating. I'm working hard, but I can't miscalculate, or I will kill you."

The Huren cavalry around 　　 also burst into laughter, it was so harsh in Guo Jia's ears.

Guo Jia is still too young to think that the human heart is so sinister, Hou Jing completely regards the Confucian benevolence and justice as a shit. He doesn't follow the literati.

"You squad of one hundred people, in the future, protect the military division, and don't cause trouble to the military division."

After 　　 Hou Jing killed the lord, not only did he have no guilt, but was contented, and led his troops to take over Shouchun City and become the lord of Huainan.

Shouchun City and even the entire Huainan will become his site.

Guo Jia's expression was gloomy, and the young and energetic he was taught a lesson in Shouchun City, but the price was unbearable.

……

Langya country, Xia Liang learned that Hou Jing rebelled, captured Shouchun City, killed Jiujiang prefect, forced Guo Jia to serve as a military commander, and claimed to be a "universal general".

Although Hou Jing attacked Shouchun City in her expectation, when she heard that Shouchun City had fallen and Hou Jingzong had looted Shouchun City for three days, she couldn't help being surprised by Hou Jing's brutality.

But she couldn't manage the people in Shouchun City, because Shouchun City was not in Chutian's sphere of influence. There must be sacrifices in troubled times, and massacres are not uncommon. Since Hou Jing regarded Shouchun City as his own territory, he should only be greedy for property and would not rush to exterminate them, otherwise Hou Jing would not be able to gain a foothold without the civilians.

"Tell the lord and Chen Qingzhi about this. Chen Qingzhi must be willing to be loyal to the lord and put down the chaos of Hou Jing."

Xia Liang sent people to inform Chutian.

The prefect of Jiujiang died, and Chen Qingzhi became a general in the field. Only Xuzhou Mu could avenge him.

A large-scale cavalry battle broke out in the two most powerful princes outside the Liaoning Province, Guzhu City, and the Central Plains princes were jealous. The two sides saw the saw.

Gongsun Zan led the white horse Yicong, and used the arrogant art of riding and shooting in the chaos army, killing a large number of Liaodong cavalry.

Li Chengliang’s three thousand Guanning cavalry fired with three-eyed firecrackers, the smoke from the burning of gunpowder was diffused, and the lead projectile shot through the armor of the opposing cavalry.

Arrow rain, gunpowder smoke, swords and guns, blood stained the Liaoxi corridor red.

"The restrictions on gunpowder are too great. Not only is the output limited, but only certain arms can use gunpowder, otherwise I would have captured western Liaoning."

Mingguan and Yao Guangxiao faced the fierce battlefield, their faces were calm, and they couldn't see how nervous they were.

Although for them, this is a decisive battle that determines the rise and fall of power.

Winner takes all, loser for Kou.

Mingguan also has free time to express feelings about the restrictions on gunpowder in "Lord".

Only Ning Tieqi can use a low-level firearm like the three-eyed firecracker.

Mingguan observed the entire battlefield and said to Yao Guangxiao: "Military officer, should we show our trump cards?"

Yao Guangxiao said: "In this battle, the lord has won."

Compared with Mingguan and Yao Guangxiao's confidence, Prince Yan and Fan Zhongyan are slightly more anxious. Their odds of winning were much lower than that of Mingguan, and the Guanning cavalry caused a lot of casualties to the Liaoxi Army, which was dominated by light cavalry.

Fierce general Chang Yuchun is even more powerful.

Fan Zhongyan's face suddenly paled: "The Wuhuan Cavalry has not tried their best... they are about to rebel!"

Prince Yan hurriedly looked at the Wuhuan cavalry wing. As Fan Zhongyan said, the Wuhuan cavalry fought with the Liaodong Army for a long time, but did not lose much. He said anxiously: "Order Di Qing to retreat and guard against the Wuhuan cavalry!"

The minion army rebellion is a fatal blow to the Liaoxi Army!

As expected The fast-changing Wuhuan cavalry betrayed the Liaoxi Army and attacked the Liaoxi Army with the Liaodong Army!

Chang Yuchun led a team of elite cavalry assault on Gongsun Zan's main formation, cut off the two generals of Gongsun Zan, and crowned the three armies!

Bai Ma Yicong was attacked by Chang Yuchun riding a thousand miles away!

"Our army has been defeated, retreat to Youbeiping County, and still retain a team of troops!"

Fan Zhongyan was unable to return to the sky in the face of the defeat. On the opposite side are the bravery of Chang Yuchun, the wisdom of Yao Guangxiao, the iron cavalry of Li Chengliang, and the rebellion of Wuhuan Cavalry as an important force. It is difficult to turn the tide.

The Liaodong Army and the Liaoxi Army have been divided!

This important news soon spread throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty, which shocked many great princes.

Especially the princes north of the Yellow River, they are about to face a terrifying prince who rises outside Guan.

Youzhou Mu Liu Yu knew that after Gongsun Zan and Prince Yan had been defeated, he was even more panicked. His Youzhou was at stake.

"Once Mingguan changed its focus from suppressing Korea to civil war, it would be unstoppable..."

When Chutian heard the news, he stepped up his invasion of Qingzhou. Although Mingguan only has two counties, Liaodong and the upcoming Liaoxi counties, Chutian did not dare to underestimate Mingguan. Liaodong and Liaoxi possess powerful cavalry and great war potential.
