Bai stepped onto the stage and the wind was biting.
Amidst the sound of neat footsteps, a large group of soldiers lined up with guns and solemn expressions.
The cavalrymen led their horses and sat on the ground in the rear formation.
Further away, the dull sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the mountains and valleys, and from time to time someone would ride a horse up a high slope and look in all directions.
The sound of the drum is like a reminder, very slow at first, hitting people's eardrums one after another.
When a group of Hu men wearing furs and furs lined up in front of the formation, the rhythm of the drums became faster and slower, as if beating in people's hearts.
On the hillside, the ruthless general gave the order to attack.
After the flag was raised, the messenger galloped over and read out the order to attack again.
More than a thousand miscellaneous prisoners had straight faces, walking in disorderly steps, holding wooden shields and miscellaneous instruments, and pretended to attack upwards along the narrow hillside.
The attack on Bai Dengtai and Baideng Mountain has entered its second day.
The cottage was conquered yesterday.
The miscellaneous soldiers and horses attacked first, which depleted the energy of the defenders. After nightfall, the right battalion of Silver Spears raided it and fought for most of the night before capturing it.
Today the battlefield moved to Bai Dengtai, and as usual, the miscellaneous soldiers took the lead.
Jin Zheng stood on the hillside, but his eyes kept looking towards Pingcheng to the west. Obviously, his mind was not here.
The glory of attacking Pingcheng would not be his, but Wang Que'er's, which made him very regretful.
In fact, he had already been mentally prepared. Hou Feihu unexpectedly came from behind and was appointed as the general of Fujun, one level higher than both him and Wang Que'er. Now Master Shao gave Wang Que'er another chance to make meritorious deeds.
Only when Wang Que'er can steadily take the credit will it be his turn to be Jin Zheng.
That's how it is when you arrange seats in the army.
The sound of killings on the mountain road was loud, and the party pretending to attack suffered heavy casualties.
After the sergeant holding the big shield was shot down, the people behind picked up the wooden shield full of "white hair" and continued to rush forward.
The corpses are piling up more and more, and even the deep valley under the mountain road is full of dead people.
Scenes like this were commonplace for Jin Zheng and he turned a blind eye. But for Yin Hao, the director of the recording office who had just arrived from Pingyang, it was extremely bloody. At this moment, he was standing behind Jin Zheng with a pale face.
"After all, the reporter's office has experienced a great epidemic. Why is it so careless?" Jin Zheng sneered: "In the year of the epidemic, people were dragged out one by one to die. What kind of war can kill so many people?"
Yin Hao's face was still very pale, he shook his head and said: "The epidemic ghost takes human lives, but it will not be so bloody."
"Lingering on the hospital bed, wailing in pain, it would be better to die happily with a knife on the battlefield." Jin Zheng snorted coldly.
He looked down upon this son of Sinong Qing very much, because he had a good relationship with Yu Liang. In Jin Zheng's view, this was just the same thing. What good could happen if two incompetent people got together?
Being criticized like this by Jin Zheng, Yin Hao sighed.
He wanted to say something, but the battlefield ahead was indeed too bloody.
One person's stomach was cut open, and he didn't even care about being on the battlefield. He just cried and stuffed the intestines that came out.
A person's head was cut off, and blood gushed out from his neck, like a spring. If you saw it in person, it would be hard to believe that a thin man could spurt out so much blood.
Another person was injured and fell to the ground. When a fire ignited, the person could not move and could only use his hands to block his face, as if this could stop the fire from devouring his body.
There was also the man who was swept down by arrows.
It takes more than ten years for a person to grow up from birth. The world is not easy. Those who can live and grow up are lucky. But this time, they are harvested by arrows, one after another, but they don't know what will happen to their parents, wives and children.
The ground is painful.
The twenty-two-year-old young reporter supervisor was really frightened.
"Master Shao once said that since the Han Dynasty, there have been three major chronic diseases, one is 'Hu people' and the other is 'disaster'. If they can be solved in his lifetime, he will laugh." Jin Zheng came to Yin Hao, looked at his pale face, and mouthed
He grinned, bared his teeth, and said with a smile: "It is not that simple to solve these troubles. You must have great courage, great perseverance, and great wisdom."
Yin Hao took a step back and asked subconsciously: "Aren't there three major chronic diseases? What is the other one?"
Jin Zheng ignored him, took a few steps away, and said to the military officials accompanying the army: "Let the first and second buildings rush forward."
"No." The clerk quickly wrote the order.
The messenger took it and ran away.
Not far behind him, a gray pennant slowly rose.
Zahu's offensive continued, but no new people were rushing up. The Silver Spear Army used them as human shields and sent out 1,200 people. The 900 people in front were all infantry archers. As soon as they entered the battle, a dense barrage of arrows
Ya then stared at the defenders and shot over.
As soon as anyone shows up, he will be immediately greeted by three or five bows.
Their training amount is much greater than that of ordinary herdsmen or archers, their archery skills are very accurate, and their shooting speed is also very fast. Therefore, except for a few defenders with accurate archery skills who relied on buildings or terrain to fight back, causing certain casualties to them, the others
People were quickly suppressed.
The remaining miscellaneous soldiers' morale was greatly boosted, and they bravely marched forward to fight with the enemy.
More than two hundred iron-armored warriors of the Silver Spear Army followed closely behind with spears in hand, charging forward to kill them.
The rebel army retreated step by step, and the Jin army soon attacked Baideng stage.
At this time, all the Zahu soldiers were dead and wounded, and some of the silver spear archers also changed their weapons to long spears or ring-headed knives, and rushed forward, fighting repeatedly with the rebels and cleaning up house after house.
When the battle ended in the afternoon, dozens of Xianbei remnants saw no way out and jumped off a cliff to their death instead of surrendering.
"What a man!" Jin Zheng praised.
Yin Hao glanced at him and said: "This must be the Qi family's child servant and shepherd slave. They are also drama thieves. The more people die, the better."
Sometimes Jin Zheng always felt that there was something wrong with scholars like Yin Hao, and said: "I praise them because I think my subordinates are also so loyal and brave. I have nothing more to say to you. Go back and tell the king that Bai has been on stage."
Well, let’s check and clean it today, and you can move in tomorrow.”
Yin Hao raised his head and looked at Bai Dengshan and Bai Dengshan, and his heart moved.
If it were an unknown mountain, it would indeed be meaningless. However, as a landmark place for Han-Hungarian relations, Baishan Mountain has long been famous all over the world. It is indeed worth going on stage to chant and talk about the secret love.
If we could hold a chat party on the stage, everyone would look at the beautiful scenery and talk about everything. Yin Hao would feel goosebumps all over his body. He could sit there from morning to night and talk non-stop.
Before leaving, Yin Hao saw a large group of Hu people with tall noses and deep eyes, coming from east to west. Judging from their route, they must be in Pingcheng.
"People from Xidingling." A Silver Spear Army Superintendent named Miao Hui who escorted Yin Hao explained: "The leader's name is Zhai Shu, and he was ordered to lead five thousand horses to the west to perform meritorious deeds."
It turned out to be this guy! Yin Hao suddenly remembered.
Previously in Pingyang, when they heard about Zhai Shu's various behaviors, everyone scolded him for being naughty. Just thinking about how King Liang would deal with him, they saw that Zhai Shu's tribe was going to suffer when they attacked the city.
****
After returning to the camp on the west bank of Muddy Waters, Yin Hao immediately went inside to report.
Shao Xun was discussing the aftermath with Zhang Bin. After hearing Yin Hao's report, he didn't take it seriously.
Bai Deng climbed the mountain, Bai Deng stood alone outside, Jin Zheng rushed and fought hard, and it was not surprising to seize it.
Shao Xun was about to ask Yin Hao to leave, but after thinking about it, he asked him to sit down.
"During the time of Emperor Xuan of the Former Han Dynasty, the thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions established the Protector's Office." Zhang Bin talked eloquently: "At the beginning of the Later Han Dynasty, Ban Chao was sent to the Western Regions and the Protector's Office was restored. However, compared with the time of Emperor Xuan, it was much worse than before.
It was changed to the name of the Governor of the Western Regions, and the difference between the two words is evident. At that time, there were only more than ten countries in the Western Regions. Now there is chaos in the Western Regions, and the Western Regions may still fight each other. If someone regains it in the future, I am afraid there will only be a few countries left.
They are so powerful that they will not be willing to be controlled."
Yin Hao was a little confused when he heard this. This was a fight against Tuoba Xianbei. Why did it involve the Western Regions? But he soon understood.
"This is the case in the Western Regions, and it is also like this with the grasslands." Zhang Bin said: "If there are many countries, if their forces are divided, they will be weak, and it will be easy to control them. If there are few countries, if their forces are combined, they will be strong, and it will be difficult to control them. Your Majesty will command the barbarian tribes with the governor's office to protect the barbarians.
, it is slightly insufficient. The Kuang Yamen Office is located in Pingyang, and many things are beyond the reach of the whip. Over time, all the barbarians will become separated and it will be more difficult to unite. I think that we can remove the Huyi Xiaowei's Mansion and set up a Duhu Mansion in Pingcheng, Shengle, and control it nearby.
, can it be effective.”
"In the Han Dynasty, the rank of the Protector of the Han Dynasty was lower than two thousand stones, which is too low. The king may mention it and make it comparable to the governor and governor of a state."
"Under the Duhufu, there may be vassal states and prefectures and counties. The king can make them self-governing or intervene in their government affairs, depending on the current situation."
After hearing this, Shao Xun said: "This is much more in-depth governance than the previous Han Dynasty."
Times are developing.
During the Western Han Dynasty, the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions had very low levels of civilization and productivity, and their military was not strong. Therefore, they could rule without doing anything, highlighting a peaceful and harmonious state.
But people are also developing and making progress. If the Western Regions were in the Spring and Autumn Period in the Western Han Dynasty, it was the Warring States Period in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Now, there is a tendency to develop towards the late Warring States Period. In short, small countries are annexing each other.
, the level of productivity and the combat effectiveness of the army have also made great progress, and it is inappropriate to use the policies of the Western Han Dynasty to rule again.
Going back to Tuoba Xianbei, there is actually a lot to learn from.
Shao Xun thought about it for a day or two and already had some plans.
Most of the methods used during the Han Dynasty are now ineffective, but the methods that failed in other dynasties in later generations are not necessarily useless at this time, and the methods that were successful at that time may not be successful at this time.
To put it bluntly, every era has its own characteristics, which is the style of the times.
The era is composed of people and human activities. The values ​​recognized by these people, the way they think about problems, their habits of dealing with people, and their productivity levels jointly affect the direction of the era.
Any policy must be formulated based on this point, and problems will inevitably arise if it is applied mechanically.
"Yuanyuan." Shao Xun looked at Yin Hao and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"
Yin Hao opened his mouth, and finally said: "Now the priority is to capture Pingcheng."
Shao Xun laughed and said, "That's not bad."
Yin Hao blushed a little. He was not stupid and knew that he had said the right nonsense.
"But you said one thing yesterday, and I deeply believe it." Shao Xun said: "From the north of Jinyang, it is either deserted or full of barbarians with ulterior motives. Although I have camped step by step and built a camp every dozens of miles.
The city is hoarding military supplies and supplies, but it is still a bit dangerous. Once someone has evil intentions and wants to keep me here, there may not be a chance. It all depends on whether he dares or not."
When Yin Hao heard this, he felt excited.
He said yesterday that if the Wang family took the risk and colluded with Helan Aitou, then——
There was a Wuhuan rebellion inside, and they surrounded and suppressed the servants who were transporting military supplies and grain and grass, searched and killed the auxiliary soldiers who were herding cattle, sheep and horses, and cut off the grain routes;
There are rope-headed iron cavalry heading south from Shengle in large numbers outside, threatening the Yin Pavilion and even Yanmen Pass.
Under such a situation, the morale of the army will inevitably be affected. At that time, the King of Liang will have no choice but to withdraw his troops from Pingcheng and return in a hurry, with interceptions in front and pursuers behind. No one can guarantee what the situation will be like.
What's more, what if the surrendered Wuhuan people and the Xianbei people who were stationed near Pingcheng suddenly rebelled and attacked the king's army? This would be even more difficult.
Yin Hao was the supervisor of the recording office. He came into contact with a lot of news on the battlefield in Pingyang. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. Therefore, he made a suggestion to Prime Minister Yu Chen and took the opportunity of escorting a batch of military supplies to arrive in Pingcheng and explain it face to face.
Shao Xun didn't think that this would happen now. After all, the Wang family was not mentally retarded. There would be no benefit in cooperating with Helan Aitou, and it would only be annexed by others.
But he also accepted Yin Hao's suggestion and decided to be nicer and gentler to Wang, nipping the danger in the bud.
Women's ability to control emotions is not as strong as men's, so be careful.
In addition, considering that Wang was unable to effectively control the situation, some people ostensibly took refuge in her, but in fact secretly colluded with Helan Aitou, so they must be guarded against.
"I have ordered Liu Runzhong to lead five thousand horses to the west and station them in Mayi." Shao Xun said: "Chen Yougen has also sent some people and horses to the west. After the road is clear, we can attack the city with peace of mind."
After saying this, Huang Zheng came to report: Mrs. Dai Guotai is here.
Shao Xun asked her to come in.
After a while, Wang hurriedly entered, his eyes bright, slightly excited, and expectant, and said: "Your Majesty, the Shiben clan has surrendered. This is a large tribe. I sent someone to contact you."
Shao Xun's thoughts were racing, he looked at Wang with surprised eyes, and said with a smile: "If you can surrender your title, how can you be undefeated? My wife is really worthy of being a heroine."
Tuoba Hesheng's grandmother was born in the feudal clan (Shibi clan). Although the relationship has not been so close in the past many years, it can be said that it is not easy to surrender them.
Mrs. Wang looked at Shao Xun closely, feeling relieved and a little happy when she saw him like that.
"Publish the news and attack the city as soon as the equipment is completed." Shao Xun ordered.
Chapter completed!
