Chapter 332 News

Liang Shiyi was indeed quite familiar with the situation in Luliang Mountain. He knew the terrain and various forces as well, but Zhao Shi was not confused by him. The lag and distortion of the news in this era are unquestionable. A person who knows what is happening a hundred miles away can be said to be well-informed, let alone thousands of miles away or thousands of miles away.

Listening to what Liang Shiyi said carefully also confirmed this point. The bandit forces near Lingyunding and Tianwangling said it in detail, and beyond a certain range, they were a little vague. There were words such as hearing and rumors in the middle. It can be seen that the source of the news was just word of mouth and had not been seen in person.

However, it can also be heard from Liang Shiyi's words that these great thieves in Luliang Mountain seem to have more or less related to the Tatars. The Tatars belong to nomadic tribes, stationed in the north and south of Yinshan, and closer to Yunzhong within the Great Wall. They belong to the descendants of the Turkic tribes that have moved inwardly throughout the ages, which has gathered this nation. Regardless of the Tatars in the bitter and cold areas in the north, these tribes that have moved inwardly have been under the rule of Han people, Khitan, and Jurchens. Although the tribe population is very prosperous now, after surrendering to the Jurchens, they existed as an important force to guard the inside and outside the Great Wall.

They had a close relationship with the Mongolian Naiman tribe in the north. The Mongols attacked each other, and most of them also participated. When Genghis Khan unified Mongolia, the Tatars simply became a branch of the Mongols, regardless of each other.

Today's Tatar tribe is under the cruel exploitation of the Jin Dynasty, conscription, heavy taxes, etc., making the survival of the Tatar tribes inside and outside the Great Wall increasingly difficult. Rebellions and internal struggles occur from time to time. Some Tatar tribes even moved westward and entered the boundaries of the Xixia people. It became a very good excuse for the Xixia and the Jin Dynasty to fight for years.

Due to the difficulties in survival, the population gradually increased. Therefore, through some secret contact and interaction, trading of fur, war horses and other things for salt, iron and other items became popular, which also eased the living environment of bandits in the Luliang Mountains.

Liang Shiyi knew some of these inside stories. But with the current declining situation of the Zhongyi Society, there was no room for them to intervene in these matters, so what they knew was limited.

Zhao Shi was not familiar with history, not to mention that the history during the Jin Dynasty was repeated and complex. Even some people who specialized in history were confused about many of the situations at this time, let alone him.

But from later generations, there is still a vision. The bandits in the Luliang Mountains are like Mao. But the production is not abundant. How can these villages survive? With the help of the surrounding environment, they monopolize some commercial trade. They have a good name in later generations, that is, "smuggling". This approach will not surprise Zhao Shi.

One was serious and did not dare to hide it at all, and the other was very careful. When Liang Shiyi stopped talking with a dry mouth, it was already dusk, and a bonfire was lit in the barracks, and smoke from cooking came in through the gaps in the tent, quietly floating in the tent, mixed with the aroma of food. Liang Shiyi sniffed his nose and couldn't help but swallowed a bit hard. Today, he rushed back to the barracks to get back before supper. The Qin army didn't stop well for a day, and Liang Shiyi was also hungry. He just broke out in cold sweat again. He smelled the fragrance again, and then felt even more uncomfortable as if he was touching his back.

However, in front of the Qin general who gave him a great sense of oppression, he really dared not be at all slack or presumptuous. This is probably what others say about official power? It's really uncomfortable.

Zhao Shi stood there quietly. He was cautious by nature. But once he acted, he was extremely decisive. This was an indelible mark left by his previous life experience, but the more he did, the more he highlighted his shortcomings, that is, he had few ideas about the overall situation, and everything was based on the things in front of him. Although it was a bit too short-sighted, it meant that it was just that.

It can be seen from the attack and killing Zeng Du, but after he arrived in Chang'an, he experienced more and more and improved his experiences, but this problem was not something that could be corrected overnight. Another thing is that if he had a view of the overall situation, he would have to support him. Before he could reach that position, he naturally lacked these thoughts.

There are examples of some amazing and beautiful figures in history, who turn their hands into clouds and turn their hands into rain, sit on the ground wither, but they can see the world, follow the trend, and achieve success. However, Zhao Shi is not such a person. Most of them have a flash of inspiration when they come to Liang Shiyi's Zhongyi Society. To explain the purpose of a clear purpose, they think that the Jingzhao Army has left a way out.

After hearing Liang Shiyi say so much, his mind was surging, but he was a little confused. He felt that if these bandits were used well, it would be of great help. But if you think about it carefully, these bandits were useless, unlike Li Bandits. Although they were thousands of miles away, they could still contact and trade with each other. Once the army of these bandits in Luliang Mountain were revolving, they would be separated by the Yellow River, let alone the sounds of the sounds of the sounds of the sounds of the sounds of the sounds? Even if they didn't come up with one another, what else would they talk about?

Like any man from later generations, utilitarian ideas circling in Zhao Shi's heart. As for the national justice, some people may talk about it, but looking at Liang Shiyi in front of him, Zhao Shi did not think that these bandits would still have the idea that everyone was Han, and should be in the same trenches. If that were the case, he would not mind exaggerating the hatred between the Jurchens and the Han people ten times a hundred times.

Without the foundation of cooperation and the purpose of cooperation, he is not so arrogant. He wants to turn the bandits in Luliang Mountain into his subordinates in such a short time. So what can this person in front of him help him?

My mind was upset, and my tone was also filled with gloomy, "Then what can you help me?"

Liang Shiyi felt a chill when he heard this. Someone didn't know where he made the general unhappy. His tone was so gloomy, so he dared not hesitate at all. "General... Although the villain is not a good weapon, he still has some tricks. I heard... I heard that there is a shortage of horses in the south... Daqin should be the same, right?

Those Tatars have to offer many horses to the Golden Dog every year. Anyway, it is not a good idea to offer them to the Golden Dog. It is better to sell them to us for the affordable ones. Just give some silver, money and jewelry to the Grand Official who recruited the Horse. I heard that those who have benefited from this are doing this. Now it is almost autumn, and there are many horse merchants in the mountains of Luliang. If the general has a way, it will be a profitable deal..."

Liang Shiyi was frightened that the general shook his head expressionlessly, "The Qin Dynasty does not lack horses." Having horses is of course a good thing, and the Qin Dynasty's purchase of horses is not strict, but it is a long way from afar, rather than getting some horses from the Tatars, it is better to collect horses from Li Bids. Zhao Shi was naturally not moved at all for this proposal.

After seeing Liang Shiyi was speechless. He probably thought about this one. Zhao Shi was also a little disappointed, but he didn't want to let the other party go. He waved his hand and said, "You go down and rest first, stay in the military camp for a few days. When I think about it, I will talk to you. Come and take him down and treat him well..."

...

Just when Zhao Shi was about to make some calculations, he did not expect that someone in Linfen City a hundred miles away was thinking about him.

Linfen. This important town in Hedong has now become a large army battalion. The decisive battle was defeated by the Jin soldiers. The defeated army was like a tide. However, although it was severely damaged, the monk Wanyan and the monk Wanyan Luhua, who were in charge of the army, were forced to kill dozens of generals of the army who escaped at the last battle in Xiangling. They killed people for a while, but shocked the morale of the army at the critical moment. Then they gathered the defeated soldiers and automatically retreated to Linfen.

Linfen was originally an important town in Hedong. There was enough food, grass and weapons. If the Qin army could completely defeat the main force of the Jin army in Xiangling, Linfen would definitely be defeated. However, with tens of thousands of defeated soldiers, the general of the Fenzhou garrison Wanyan Luhua had been beheaded in front of the army. Deputy garrison Wang Xiu led 20,000 troops to help in time. In addition, reinforcements near the prefectures gathered here to join the army. The Jin army had more than 100,000 troops. After the Linfen garrison Hai Shuer defeated Xiao Kejin, he strongly supported the leadership of the Wanyan Monk. Although Wang Xiu was the confidant of Wanyan Luhua, under the strength of the two, he could only bow down and obey the orders.

The Qin army has sharp military strength, and now no one has the intention of fighting with the Qin army. They are all stationed in Linfen, similar to the iron barrels guarding the entire Linfen.

The study room in the backyard of the Linfen garrison general's mansion was located was tightly guarded, and from time to time, teams of guards could be seen patrolling back and forth with their hands pressed on the handle of the knife.

In the study room, four people sat in turn. The top leader was naturally the West Kyoto Inspection Center. The Grand Marshal Wanyan Lie of the East Expedition was, but the three people sitting upright in the lower head had different images.

The person sitting closest to Wanyan Lie was pretty, but at this time he was naked, revealing his strong chest, with white cloth bandages wrapped around him, blood stains on him, and a slightly pale face, but he sat straight and his eyes were burning, without any sign of weakness after being injured. This man was the monk Wanyan who followed Xiao Kejin to fight to the death and finally fought to the death.

The man sitting opposite him was rude and looked indifferent anytime and anywhere. Only when the ground light flashed from time to time in his eyes could make people understand that this person was not a simple person. This person was naturally the garrison general of Linfen. After killing Xiao Kejin, his reputation in the army was no less than that of Monk Wanyan. If Wanyan Lie was not there, he wanted to compete with Monk Wanyan for military power, Monk Wanyan, as a defeated general, might not have been able to compete for him.

A thin man in the forty years old was sitting in the lower head, wearing armor and meticulously carved all over his body, with a short beard under his jaw, and he looked very majestic. At this time, he lowered his head slightly, and no one could see his expression clearly. This man was Wang Xiu from Fen River. According to Xiao Kejin's order, he conscripted tens of thousands of troops in Fenzhou, and then rushed to Linfen. When he arrived in Linfen, he learned that Xiao Kejin and Wanyan Luhua all died. He was shocked and did not even dare to enter Linfen City at that time. Until someone took the order of Wanyan Lie to his military camp, he realized that Monk Wanyan and Hai Shuer did not have the courage to kill so well, but the great marshal came here quietly. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to enter the city to invite him.

The atmosphere in the study was a bit stagnant, and everyone had thought about it. Monk Wanyan thought the simplest thing. After the Qin army won, it seemed that it had no previous spirit and stationed in Xiangling, without advancing or retreating. If the army was intact and not being put together now and his morale was low, he would definitely send troops to test whether the King of Wei of Qin was really injured and unable to command the army, but now, forget it...

Hai Shu'er's eyes were turning. He was not a direct lineage of Wanyan Lie, but he didn't like Xiao Kejin. He knew even more that the army was defeated. Only the Grand Marshal in front of him could save Linfen. Xiao Kejin? He was not slow to escape... It was better to be the monk Wanyan from the opposite side to come to the ground. If such a person was killed, he would be killed. Anyway, there was a Grand Marshal above, right? How many gifts would he give to his in-laws in Shangjing in the future to settle this matter? It would be reasonable to continue to be his Linfen garrison general here.

Wang Xiuze had another different thought. Wanyan Luhua was the confidant general promoted by Xiao Kejin. Now Xiao Kejin Wanyan Luhua has died. No matter whether Wanyan Lie will be in trouble in the future. Now the military power of Xijing Hedong is indeed in the hands of others. As Wanyan Luhua's confidant, he is also a Han man. If he wants to maintain his current glory and wealth in the future, it is certain that he will be obeyed. When the Qin army retreats, he will have to worry about what he plans. There are many Han generals. But few can sit at his current position. The secret here is just a few words to judge the situation.

Thinking of this, I took a peek at the monk Wanyan sitting in danger. No matter what Wanyan Lie, this Wanyan Wanhu made great contributions this time. Rewards must be inevitable, and the person is so young... The only bad thing is that he is too close to the great marshal Wanyan Lie... Wait, if the new emperor is a dignified person, this person will be a big tree in the future. If the new emperor is still like Wanyan Liang, this time he will go back to take care of him and return to his hometown to be a rich man.

In the room, the tea fragrance was faint, and after a while, it was still silent. Wanyan Lie seemed to have no words at this time, and he kept his eyes closed. He slowly drank the fragrant tea, looking thoughtful. Compared to a few days ago, Wanyan Lie's tiredness was gone, but his brows were deeper and tighter, but he looked a few years older than before.

Finally, Wanyan Lie's heavy voice broke the silence, "What do you think about Li Xuandao's serious injury?"

Li Xuandao was seriously injured in the battle. Wanyan Lie was a little unbelievable. The commander was in the central army. It was also a great victory. Even though he knew that Li Chijin had sent a attack on the Qin army for Monk Wanyan, the entire army was wiped out and only fled back more than a hundred people. After asking carefully, these soldiers who escaped from death only said that they rushed into the Qin army's central army. Those who rushed to the generals died on the spot. The ones who fled back were in the darkness and fought hard, but none of them knew what was going on.

However, the Qin army did not move, and pursued the fugitive enemy and rushed to Xiangling City and turned around in a hurry. The news did not seem to be fake...

"Seeing the last general, there is a great general here, and that Li Xuandao is not worth worrying about. What is the Han people going to be afraid of? That is, Xiao Kejin led the troops to ruin the land. If someone else is the case, he would have taken Li Xuandao's head back at this time." In front of Wang Xiu, Hai Shu'er spoke without any hesitation.

Wang Xiu's face remained unchanged. It was not the first day that the Jurchen generals were domineering. He was in the army and had long regarded these words as wind in his ears and never cared about them.

It was Monk Wanyan who licked his lips, with a hint of anger in his eyes, but he didn't make it happen. Instead, he took over the conversation and said, "Master, it's not a solution to defend Linfen. A few days ago, the spies reported that although the Qin army had no support, they had no worries about food, grass and weapons. The most hateful thing is the officials who surrendered to the enemy, not only offered the city, but also transported food and grass to the Qin army. It's not a solution to keep it like this, right?"

Wanyan Lie turned the teacup and frowned even tighter. After a while, he said softly: "The Qin people are going to withdraw their troops."

Several generals who had their own thoughts were shocked and looked up at Wanyan Lie.

Monk Wanyan even blurted out: "Master, this is impossible..."

"You don't know yet? The Xixia thieves have sent troops from Hetao, and Li Yuankang, the commander of the Baima Town Army, raised 150,000 troops. Now they have broken through the border, attacked the world, and followed more than ten border camps in Linxia, ​​and pointed directly at Xijing..."

"ah……"
