The imperial court ordered Zhang Xutuo to lead his troops to Xingyang to suppress the bandits.
Once the news came out, it caused an uproar in Qi County. Is the imperial court crazy? If you want to collect wool, just catch one person. Bafengying had just returned from Beihai County for two days. The court did not mention rewards, pensions, food, grass, or supplies. In just one sentence, Bafengying was ordered to gallop hundreds of miles to Xingyang to suppress the bandits. It really put the soldiers of Bafengying into trouble. Become an iron man.
"I won't go, I won't go, whoever wants to go can go. Anyway, I won't go."
Fan Hu's stubborn temper came and he started making a fuss on the spot, regardless of Zhang Xutuo's flushed face.
Seeing that Fan Hu was going too far, Zhang Xutuo had no choice but to expel Fan Hu. Fan Hu left angrily, and the scene was ugly for a while.
At this time, the veteran Tang Wanren, who had been silent, stood up and said: "Mingfu, we can no longer fight in such an unclear manner. Brothers, we really can't fight anymore. Since Daye has been seven years, we have been fighting, hundreds of battles before and after, several The line between life and death has never rested, and everyone is tired.
¡°I, Old Tang, am not afraid of death, but I don¡¯t want to die in such a cowardly way. The imperial court does not allocate food, salary, or pension. What is this? In the Battle of Niushan, the brothers suffered nearly a thousand casualties and thousands of broken families. These people left orphans and widows, leaving them no choice but to live.
I, Old Tang, am really heartbroken. "
Qi County is almost the most serious place for banditry. All the counties within its territory, including Licheng, the administrative center, have all fallen into decline. The current output of Qi County is simply not enough to support tens of thousands of troops fighting everywhere. Now it is difficult for Zhang Xutuo to maintain the survival of Bafeng Camp. For other problems, even asking him to sell his blood cannot solve the problem.
"It's me, Zhang Xutuo, who feels sorry for you."
Zhang Xutuo bowed deeply to everyone.
Zhang Xutuo promised that he would give everyone official positions, land, rewards and everything else they wanted, but the last one did not come true. He couldn't even guarantee the rest that the soldiers needed most now.
Before the war in Beihai County, he promised not to send troops for half a year, but now, he simply cannot do it.
"Mingfu!"
Everyone hurried forward. Although Zhang Xutuo never brought much benefit to everyone, and although Zhang Xutuo broke his promises time and time again, the soldiers of Bafeng Camp loved and respected him.
Because he is honest and honest, regardless of gains and losses, because he shares weal and woe and loves his soldiers like his own son.
Zhang Xutuo held Tang Wanren's hand and said: "Wan Ren, I know you are right, but now that the Sui Dynasty is in crisis, can we ignore it?
After this victory, I went to see the emperor and begged Duke Wei. I must not let the achievements of my brothers be buried.
But now send troops first, brother, I beg you! "
For Zhang Xutuo¡¯s words, what else could Tang Wanren say.
So the generals ordered their troops and prepared to go south.
The army was short of food. Jia Wuben emptied the entire Qi County's treasures to raise four to five thousand dan of food and grass, which was barely enough to feed tens of thousands of people for nearly a month.
What they will eat in a month, only God knows.
The army left at once, and Zhang Xutuo didn't even have time to bury Kudis.
Before leaving, Zhang Xutuo gave the only eight hundred coins he had to his son Zhang Yuanbei and asked his son to bury his stepmother.
Jia Wuben and others all had red eyes when they heard this.
A prefect could not even afford a thousand coins when it came time to bury his wife. In this world, you shouldn't bully a good person like this.
The three armies set out in silence. Over the years, this army has become accustomed to silence.
This time during the westward march, Zhang Xutuo took away a total of 12,000 people. He was really worried about the banditry in Xingyang. Although he had defeated the Wagang Army many times before, Zhang Xutuo was deeply impressed by the opponent's combat power.
And I heard that Wang Dangren from Waihuang, Zhou Wenju from Weicheng, Li Gongyi from Yongqiu, etc. all surrendered to the Wagang Army. The current strength of the Wagang Army cannot be underestimated.
When the Bafeng Battalion went out to fight, the bandits on all sides fled after hearing the news. Zhang Xutuo led his army all the way to Xingyang.
By this time, the banditry in Xingyang had already eroded, and Yang Qing was unable to conquer it, so he had to stay in Guancheng (now Zhengzhou City, Henan Province). When Zhang Xutuo arrived in Xingyang, Yang Qing only provided him with some food and grass, but the rest was powerless.
The imperial court still has many troops in Xingyang, and it stands to reason that these troops must be mobilized by Zhang Xutuo. However, these troops had long been beaten by the bandits and had no courage to attack at all.
"Moreover, Zhang Xutuo was a young eunuch from a poor family, and the generals did not take him seriously.
Zhang Xutuo mobilized everyone several times, but no one paid attention.
Zhang Xutuo was angry, so he rushed to the tent of Yang Wei, the tiger general who was stationed in Xingyang, and ordered him to send troops to suppress the bandits.
Yang Wei was born in the Yang family of Hongnong and looked down upon Zhang Xutuo at all. Besides, both of them were fourth-grade officials, so he didn't care about each other at all. Zhang Xutuo's deposed ambassador to the twelve counties of Henan Province was just a temporary assignment and had no rank.
Yang Wei said angrily: "If Zhang Taishou wants to beg for thieves, he can just go. Our army fought with the Wagang thieves in the previous battle and suffered a lot of losses. Food and grass have not been transported. Now we are in urgent need of repairs and we really can't go to war."
Zhang Xutuo knew that the other party was just trying to evade, and he wanted to punch the other party in the nose.
If it were Huang Mingyuan, he might directly kill people and seize the army. Zheng Yanqing even did such a shocking thing right in front of Zhang Xutuo. It's a pity that Zhang Xutuo is too honest. This kind of thing is against the laws of the court and he can't do it.
Zhang Xutuo could only flick his sleeves and left Yang Wei's army.
Yang Wei looked at Zhang Xutuo, he was like a stinky country bumpkin, how could he climb on top of me and treat himself like a dish? If you still go to beg the thief, hurry up and get reincarnated.
Zhang Xutuo also went to persuade other tribes one by one. The excuses of the other parties were similar, some had good attitudes and some had bad attitudes, but no one was willing to follow Zhang Xutuo to attack.
Zhang Xutuo wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Mingfu, we can't count on them. If they want to beg for thieves, do they still need us to come to Xingyang?"
Zhang Xutuo looked at the camp and said helplessly: "Original, our situation will be even more difficult in the future."
After Zhang Xutuo returned to Guancheng, he asked Yang Qing for some food and ordnance, which made Yang Qing very dissatisfied. Although Yang Qing is a prefect like Zhang Xutuo, he has the title of prince, and the status of Xingyang County is much higher than that of Qi County. In his opinion, you, Zhang Xutuo, have not fought a single battle, but you have come to me again and again to ask for food and weapons. Are you threatening the soldiers' self-respect?
¡°And Zhang Xutuo doesn¡¯t know how to bend down, and his attitude is very unsatisfactory.
Therefore, although Yang Qing gave Zhang Xutuo some more food in the end, he told Zhang Xutuo unhappily that he didn't have much food left. It was just this time and would not happen next time.
Only then did Zhang Xutuo realize that he had even offended Yang Qing.
At this time, the weather has passed the summer weather and is about to enter autumn.
The howling autumn wind makes people feel even more melancholy. Zhang Xutuo didn't know what the future held for him and Bafengying.
