At the end of March in the eighth year of the Divine Turtle (324), "refugee camps" were everywhere outside Lunu County, Zhongshan County.
Duan Mobo had just returned from hunting when he heard something that made his blood boil.
Without any hesitation, he got on his horse and roared away with hundreds of horses.
On the bank of the Hengshui River, several Xianbei people with fair hair were tied up with five flowers and fell to their knees on the bank.
Judging from their bruised noses and swollen faces, it was obvious that they had been dealt with severely. They were forced to kneel on the ground, with stern looks on their faces and dissatisfaction in their hearts.
"Mao Bang, your mother and maidservant, dare to kill my soldiers?" Duan Mobo flew off his horse and shouted angrily.
There were more than a thousand strong men and county soldiers standing on the bank of Hengshui River. When they saw the Xianbei cavalry coming towards them, they were in a commotion.
The wave at the end of the segment is approaching step by step.
At the end, the commander-in-chief, with more than ten soldiers, gritted his teeth and stepped forward to stop Duan Mobo.
When Duan Mobo saw the spear lying in front of him, he stopped and his anger did not diminish. He looked at Gaoyang Prefect Mao Bang who was standing on the grain cart and cursed: "Are you sensible? These are all brave people."
A galloping hero among thousands of armies only killed a few old, weak, women and children, what the hell is that?"
Mao Bang jumped out of the car.
Already thirty-three years old, he has a tall figure and a slender face. When he stands against the wind, he looks somewhat like a scholar.
But after all, he was not a scholar, let alone a powerless scholar.
At this moment, he was wearing a deerskin leather armor on his chest, a bow on his left and a sword on his right. When he strode towards him, he didn't pay attention to the hundreds of Luoyan Army soldiers at all.
"A warrior who has overtaken thousands of armies should be killed if he has violated military law." Mao Bang replied firmly, "Are you going to rob someone?"
After saying that, he pointed to the Xianbei cavalry behind him and asked: "What? You want to rebel? Do you dare?"
Duan Mobo gritted his teeth.
For a moment, he really didn't want to be so angry, so he killed the thief Mao Bang with one knife. However, after breathing heavily for a while, he swallowed it alive.
He is not worried about his family far away in Bianliang.
In fact, family is important, but it does not mean that it cannot be abandoned. If he dies, he will die! As long as he is alive, no matter whether he is robbed or married, there will always be a woman and heirs.
What he really couldn't part with was wealth.
"This is Zhongshan County, why do you need to meddle in other people's business?" Duan Mobo cursed.
"If you encounter such an evil thing in the road, you will be killed casually. How will you treat it?" Mao Bang asked back: "Even if we go to the Central Guards, I will kill these people."
"Without the soldiers fighting on the front line, you would have been captured by the thieves." Duan Mobo said angrily.
Mao Bang saw his lies and was too lazy to say anything more. He turned around and ordered: "Behead him quickly!"
The soldiers of Gaoyang County were ordered to kill several Xianbei cavalrymen by the Hengshui River with their swords in hand, and then threw the headless corpses into the river.
The Luoyan soldiers in the distance were making a lot of noise, and everyone was looking at Duan Mobo.
Duan Mobo already felt regret in his heart.
If I had known earlier, I would not have been brave today. This would have made it difficult for me to get off the stage, and my prestige would have been damaged. It would have been a huge loss.
After the execution, Mao Bang bowed his hands towards Duan Mobo from a distance and said: "Doctor Duan, don't forget the military meeting in the afternoon. Take your leave."
After saying that, he got on his horse and drove away with a shout.
The staff rode up to catch up and said: "The king of the government asked for orders for the people. After the news spread, he was praised far and wide. It will be much easier to do things in the future."
Mao Bang slowed down his horse and said with a wry smile: "There are not many people in Changshan and Zhongshan anymore. How can I praise you? I'm just too angry. I always remember what Master Shao said back then. Forget it if you don't see it. If you do, if you do
If you don't rectify it, you are in vain. It's so careless. Let alone the Luoyan Army, even if the Silver Spear veteran is here and is captured by me, he will inevitably be stabbed. Anyway, Wang Que'er, Jin Zheng and others don't look down on me.
Fading away..."
After speaking, he sighed slightly.
Fortunately, Master Shao understands me. If other people want to say it, let them say it. Anyway, I won't lose a piece of flesh. Doing good deeds is the most important thing.
"The Lord just said that there are no people in Changshan and Zhongshan, but that's not right." The staff pointed to the messy shacks outside the city wall of Lunu County and said: "If I have to say it, there are still a lot of people, but they are all Jie people.
, Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Xianbei and even Dingling. There are thousands of Jin people, but there are no less than a hundred thousand Hu people. They do not practice farming, but hunt and herd as their occupations."
Mao Bang nodded.
The once extremely wealthy and prosperous counties in Han Dynasty have now become grasslands where barbarians graze their cattle.
In fact, not only Changshan but also Zhongshan, Gaoyang, Zhangwu, Hejian, and Boling counties have more or less similar phenomena, but they are not as exaggerated as the former.
There are really few Han Chinese in Changshan and Zhongshan counties.
The Han people who farmed the land disappeared, but the nomadic Ding Ling came, and tens of thousands of them moved southward at one go.
Zhai Shu was nomadic in Zhongshan before, but he ran away to Xianbei because of the defeat of Shile, but he has always been obsessed with the fertile Zhongshan County. This time he took the opportunity and simply ran back.
This kind of unfamiliar white-eyed wolf is actually very dangerous.
Mao Bang dared to conclude that once the world was in chaos again, Zhai Shu and his gang would even dare to claim the throne and establish the country like Liu Yuan did. They were really bold and ignorant.
The group soon entered Lunu County.
When Gao Yang was young, the county soldiers stayed outside and only brought a dozen people inside.
At this time, in the prefect's mansion, Chen Yougen was shouting curses with a riding whip.
"Wang Bin, you don't know how to fight, and you don't know how to calm the people?" The riding whip in Chen Yougen's hand almost hit the face of a Wuhuan rich man, and his arrogance made several officials standing beside him hesitate to speak.
end.
"Is there anyone left in Wang Feng's hands? They are all wine bags and rice bags." Chen Yougen cursed angrily: "You can freeze to death two thousand people in one winter, you are so capable. Let me tell you straight, Jizhou Liu Wangqiao has been targeting you for a long time
The people in your hands are gone. If the King of Liang hadn't saved his face and issued orders, you, more than 30,000 old, weak, women and children, would have been lost."
Wang Bin was a big man in his thirties. He was scolded by Chen Yougen so much that he didn't dare to get angry.
In the rush to escape, I didn't have time to take many things with me, which was really difficult.
In addition, they now completely rely on the Jin people to provide food and grass for their sustenance, so they really have no confidence to say anything.
"It's almost April, and Tuoba Heshu is about to send troops to attack the two counties. It's unclear whether your family can withstand it." Chen Yougen threw the riding whip to the ground and said bitterly: "Go away and go back to recruit troops.
Horses, all men aged above thirteen and below sixty will be recruited. Bring the horses and return to Guangning in mid-April. I will help you raise these burdensome people first."
"Yes." Wang Bin retreated hastily as if he had been granted amnesty.
After Chen Yougen came to the main hall, he looked up at the map on the wall.
Since arriving here in the second half of last year, the battle has actually not been going well.
Objectively speaking, the Xianbei people's fighting ability was good, and Liu Hezhu's men could still fight with them, but the casualties were really heavy, so he also became slippery later on.
Chen Yougen saw this and was furious.
If the King of Liang were here, Liu Hezhu would definitely not be like this. But if he were replaced, they would not fight to the death.
Now for the Northern Expedition to Xianbei, the king's military orders have arrived, and the east route is still under his command, and no replacement is planned.
In the military order, Liu Hezhu selected 2,000 fine cavalry. The three towns of Wuqiang, Puyangshan, and Yijing each sent a thousand light cavalry, plus the 2,000 Xianbei cavalry from the Youzhou Duanbu, which was recruited, so there were 7,000 people.
.
In addition, the Luoyan Army, Xiaojie Army, Zhongyi Army, Ding Ling Zhai Shu and other troops also had more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry.
Wang Feng's side unites Wuhuan, Dugu, and Changsun's troops, and they can still gather 20,000 troops.
There are a total of 37,000 cavalrymen on this road, and they will be assembled in almost mid-April.
In the deployment of King Liang, they belonged to the "partial division", and their main task was to protect the Wuhuan King's family, and to use Daijun and Guangning to attract as many troops as possible from Tuoba Heli.
If you can win the battle, then attack Dongmugen Mountain from east to west.
If you can't win, then try to persist and ignore him.
Chen Yougen understands his mission, but he has been very angry since he arrived last year. If you look deeper, it is actually inseparable from his current embarrassing situation.
King Liang's disciples gradually grew up and gradually stopped paying attention to him.
They may still be respectful on the surface, but everyone inside can taste the slight contempt.
You, Chen Yougen, say you can fight, but you really don't have any outstanding achievements. This is a flaw.
King Liang gave him a chance, but it was up to him whether he could seize it or not.
So he was a little anxious.
When I was worried, my own soldiers came to report: Mao Bang, the governor of Gaoyang, has arrived.
He turned around, forced a smile, and said: "Mao Er, among so many people, you are the only one who can bring me good news."
Sending food and equipment, as long as they are delivered on time, there is no merit.
"As soon as I entered the door, I heard Chen Gong angrily scolding the generals, but I don't know where the worry lies?" Mao Bang saluted and asked.
"People's hearts are divided and the war is going like this. How can we not worry?" Chen Yougen said.
"May I ask Mr. Chen whether Xianbei can fight?"
"He is still quite capable. When he is riding and shooting, his arrows are fast and urgent, and when he is charging, he is not afraid of his life."
"My servant asked Chen Gong again, does the Tuoba family know that my reinforcements are coming?"
"Shouldn't know."
"The task your king gave Mr. Chen is to defend and counterattack?"
"yes."
"In this case, why do you worry?" Mao Bang said with a smile: "It is better to show your weakness and arrogance to the enemy first."
Speaking of this, he explained in detail: "Last year, the Tuoba clan sent troops with great momentum and won consecutive battles. Many counties surrendered after hearing the news. However, as soon as the Tuoba soldiers left, the Marquis of Zhuolu County
After winning a lot of people, the battle last year was in vain. How can I not be angry? I expect that after the pasture grows a little longer, the bandits will definitely come in force. Because of last year's victory, they must be scornful of the Wang family. During this period,
Or there is a chance."
When Chen Yougen heard this, he stopped and sighed after a moment: "You are much more capable than my staff, they are nonsense."
Mao Bang smiled and said: "I am not good at military warfare. I only know a little about people's hearts. The specific method of fighting is still decided by Duke Ming."
Chen Yougen snorted lightly, his eyes kept rolling, as if he was seriously thinking about how to arrange it.
"Ming Gong, this battle must be fought well. If we can kill more than 10,000 thieves, the army's power will be greatly shaken. Even the Yuwen clan will not dare to go south to plunder easily." Mao Bang said again.
"Sooner or later, get rid of that old dog Yu Wenqiu Buqin." Chen Yougen spat and said.
"The food has been delivered, so I will leave now." Mao Bang bowed again and slowly withdrew.
