Chapter five hundred and eighty third the person who should be killed
Songcheng.
The city gate was wide open, and the governor Qin Hui was so frightened that he abandoned the city and fled after receiving the news that Yiqi was attacking An City.
Also escaping with them were the dignitaries in the city. They packed up the gold and silver, and they ran as fast as they could. Because they were in a hurry, they didn't have time to take away many things in the treasury.
As the vanguard, Han Sui rushed to Songcheng with less than a thousand Huns cavalry, and what he saw was the city gate wide open.
At first, Han Sui was very cautious, thinking whether this might be a trap by the Jizhou Army, so he first sent a small number of cavalry into the city. The news that came immediately made him overjoyed. The Jizhou Army in the city actually escaped, and only the remaining cavalry were left in the city.
It's just some people who have bad legs or have nowhere to go.
I haven’t said anything yet, let’s enter the city!
Without any effort, Han Sui led the Hun cavalry into the city, and then opened the treasury. Han Sui was overjoyed to see the food inside, and he quickly sent someone to report the good news to Qiao Xiong. Soon he knew it.
, the main force of the Huns cavalry also came to the city and quickly entered the city.
It is precisely because of the irresponsibility of Qin Hui, the governor of Songcheng County, that the exhausted Huns cavalry were given a chance to breathe. Not only were their rations greatly supplemented, but with Songshu as a temporary resting place, they could also take advantage of the opportunity.
Rest and recuperate, recharge your batteries and prepare for the war.
After resting, Qiao Xiong was not idle either. He ordered his cavalry to take Songcheng as the center and continuously plunder the surrounding areas. At the same time, he also set fire to many crops that were about to be harvested, causing heavy losses throughout Songcheng.
.
According to statistics after the incident, 80% of the food was lost, and the number of people in Jizhou who were indirectly killed reached tens of thousands, of which the number of women who were raped, prostituted, and raped alone reached 3,000.
When the news that Songcheng was occupied was sent to Jicheng, it aroused Tang Ao's anger.
For the first time, His Highness Prince Ji, who was always kind to others and rarely got angry with his own family members, broke the valuable tea utensils in his hands.
Although doing this can't change anything, it still has certain benefits in venting the anger in my heart. "This Qin Hui deserves to be cut into pieces. Come on, write the matter into the dragon report, let him
The entire people of Jizhou want the world to see clearly this person’s face.”
Qin Hui, as a prosperous clan in Jizhou, has a lot of influence among Jizhou's dignitaries. Even Dong Jingwei, who was in trouble than before, was not afraid to give in too much.
Because of this, in order to consider the overall situation of Jizhou's unity, and because Zeng Tong and Han Ce both expressed their feelings, saying how capable this person was and that he was definitely not a rotten scholar like Dong Jingwei who could only talk nonsense, Tang Ao allowed him to serve as the commander-in-chief.
He took over the post of governor of Song County and governed Song City.
Now it seems that I still have a high regard for this person. He abandoned the city out of fear of death without even a hint of resistance. Not only did he betray Tang Ao's trust, but more importantly, he betrayed the entire Songcheng and nearby people.
He suffered as a result.
It is conceivable that the 5,000 Xiongnu cavalry who won Songcheng and obtained food and grass would have a huge change compared to the desolate Xiongnu cavalry who had no money and food. All because of Qin Hui's greed for life and fear of death, not to mention the enemy, and what happened next.
This will make counterinsurgency work more difficult.
Such a loser, such a useless person, not to mention just a member of the Wang clan in Jizhou, even if he was the crown prince or a prince, Tang Ao would not hesitate at all. Otherwise, wouldn't it be
Did he live up to his original reputation as Crazy Shen?
Long Ya had already found the city where Qin Hui had fled and then headed to Qian County, which was also the home of the Qin family. Tang Ao ordered someone to arrest him, and then brought him back to Jicheng for trial. It can be imagined that Qin Hui's journey would lead to death. .Not only that, what he did also brought blackness to the faces of all Jizhou dignitaries.
Let's see what kind of people their so-called representatives Dong Jingwei and Qin Hui are. Presumably after this incident, when Tang Ao appointed officials, these powerful people completely lost their right to speak.
Punishing Qin Hui is necessary, but even if he is killed, what should happen will still happen. The top priority now is to eliminate the five thousand Huns cavalry who have entered the land of Jizhou. Only then can Jizhou regain its settle down.
Three days later, the army was ready to set off, and everything was ready. Tang Ao called Zeng Tong and Han Ce, and entrusted them with the next major task of collecting grain.
The two of them were also responsible for Qin Hui's matter, but Tang Ao did not blame them, and did not even say an unpleasant word, which moved the two of them. Faced with the task of helping the people collect grain, they naturally They agreed immediately, and they promised not to miss the mark, and that when Tang Ao came back, they would be faced with a full state treasury.
On the third day of September in the 19th year of Hanchang, Tang Ao once again sent troops to Baijun, starting a tit-for-tat situation with Beidi and the Xiongnu. Also leaving with him were 10,000 former Beidi prisoners. That was what Beidi wanted. If we want to use the hands of the Huns to target Jizhou, of course we must give them some color.
It is not Tang Ao's style not to fight back when hit or scolded.
On the contrary, if you dare to scold me, someone will dare to beat you; if you dare to hit me, someone will dare to kill you. This is Tang Ao's character and the style of Jizhou Army.
...
Outside Songcheng, at the foot of Baifeng Mountain.
A small river flowed slowly by, with ripples rippling under the calm wind. Groups of cavalry approaching from a short distance broke the tranquility here.
After receiving the news, the Shanshan Guards, who rushed from Jicheng, finally appeared at the foot of Baifeng Mountain after four days of rapid march. The journey from here to Songcheng was only twenty miles.
"The army stops to rest." Feng Xun, who came to the river, raised his right hand and gave the order to stop advancing. For a moment, the three thousand cavalry and six thousand horses behind him seemed to have been cast a restraining spell. Stopped, stopped by the river.
As a Shanshan Guard who was personally taught by Tang Ao, his military discipline is the best in the entire army, and he truly follows orders and prohibitions. It is no exaggeration to say that after an order is given, three thousand cavalrymen act like one person, and they truly act in unison, and a thousand people act as one. .
Standing in military posture and lining up are one of the foundations of the Jizhou Army. The treatment of the Jizhou Army can be said to be the best in the world, and the training difficulty is also the best in the world. When other vassal armies still perform exercises every three days, or even every five days. Or when there was one drill every seven days, the Jizhou Army was already doing two drills a day.
Similarly, on the premise that other vassal armies have two meals a day and cannot guarantee that they will be full every day, the Jizhou Army has already had three meals a day, and sometimes even four meals a day if the training intensity is intense, and there is meat every day. Eat, even the staple food is enough.
No matter what kind of efforts you make, you will get what kind of results. Nowadays, not only the Shanshan Guards, but also the ordinary Jizhou Army also have a tall and straight military posture, and they carry out orders and prohibitions.
It was only the morning at this time, not even noon, let alone dusk. It was said that we were only twenty miles away from Songcheng, and we should have killed them in one go. However, the army stopped right there, which puzzled many soldiers.
However, the strict military discipline and obedience still prevented them from asking a single word. Instead, they dismounted one by one and took a rest. They should be vigilant when they should be vigilant and fetch water when they should be fetched in an orderly manner.
Under a big tree, Feng Xun called First Battalion Commander Zhou Jinwen, Second Battalion Commander Yuan Xin, and Third Battalion Commander Tai Shi Jinzuo to come together.
"Don't look around. There is an enemy cavalry at our ten o'clock direction." Feng Xun said in an astonishing tone as soon as he sat down.
Not even a single scout was sent out, so why was Feng Xun so sure?
Needless to say, this is the credit of the birds in the sky. Mainly Xiaobai, the number of birds in the sky of Jizhou Army is increasing. Under Tang Ao's intentional teaching, more than ten people have learned the basics of animal flying.
The message has been assigned to various units. The correspondent next to Feng Xun is one of them, and it was he who secretly sent the message just now.
The three battalion commanders were not new recruits on the battlefield. After hearing this, their expressions were startled, and then they returned to calmness. Then they looked at Feng Xun, believing that since the commander already knew about this matter, he must be
What countermeasures are there?
"Battle Commander Zhou, you will pretend to lead the soldiers to look for wild beasts in the mountains, and then go around to the enemy's back and wait for us to attack from both sides." Feng Xun revealed his plan.
"No." Zhou Jinwen agreed.
"Remember, let the brothers put on their battle armor and prepare their bows and crossbows. The second battalion will walk normally in front, and the third battalion will follow behind. When the enemy rushes out, attack from both sides and eat the enemy."
Feng Xun said with confidence. Someone actually wanted to defeat the Mountain Guard's ambush. He was really desperate. Even so, he would not let go of such an opportunity and had a good time with the opponent.
"No." The three battalion commanders each agreed, and then stood up and made preparations as if nothing had happened. The Shanshan Guards were also equipped with one person and two horses. The strong horse that was not usually ridden was tied with chain armor.
Horse armor and other items. Normally, for the speed of marching, they are not usually worn on the body. Now that the war is about to begin, it is natural to take all the protection.
In just a quarter of an hour, the whole army was ready, and then the first battalion left first. As if he was afraid that the enemy wouldn't hear, Zhou Jinwen also roared loudly twice, to the effect that he had not seen any meat for a long time, and all of them faded out.
When the bird comes, he will go into the mountains to find game."
In the mountains five miles away from here, Han Sui was ambushing here with a thousand cavalry.
Ye Buzai, who was sent out first, had already sent back the news of the appearance of the three thousand cavalry. When he learned that the other party was so trustworthy and did not even send Ye Buzai, Han Sui felt that he had made a contribution.
When the opportunity came, he had already found this place to ambush. When the opponent appeared at the foot of his mountain, he would rush up and attack them halfway.
He thought that the cavalry was invincible, at least he didn't take Ganren seriously. Han Sui always believed that compared with Ganren who only knew how to farm and harvest food and studied hard, they didn't even have the ability to raise horses, so it was impossible to train suitable cavalry.
