Eight hundred and twentieth nine chapters expedition Beidi
After all, the ancestors of the Gongsun and Cheng families were Di people and had received too many favors, so it was impossible for them to surrender without a fight.
When Tang Ao heard that the recruitment failed, there was no trace of disappointment on his face. Originally, he had no intention of leaving the Gongsun family and the Cheng family. In his opinion, even if these people surrendered temporarily, they would not be able to do anything. Integrating with Ganren in a short period of time, once the opportunity is right, I am afraid that I will rebel at any time.
Even so, it would be better to solve it once and for all. "Okay, even if they don't surrender, then just kill them all. Jizhizhou, this matter will be left to you, but if there are any Di people who are dissatisfied, just Just kill him."
Ji Jinkai is no longer the supervisor of Goryeo. After all, there is no longer Goryeo, only a new Gaozhou is left, so naturally he, the supervisor, will be laid off.
But now, before the war begins, Ji Jinkai has been appointed as the new governor of Heizhou.
The so-called Heizhou refers to the land north and northwest of Jicheng. It is all the area of Heilongjiang, even larger, and also includes some maps of Inner Mongolia and Russian territory.
The reason why Ji Jinkai was appointed as the magistrate of Heizhou was because Tang Ao knew that this person, like himself, believed in the idea that people who are not from our own race must have different hearts. What other civil servants thought, what kind of unity and influence were completely different. of.
Moreover, Ji Jinkai has fought in battle and killed enemies. He has a strong character and is serious about his work. It is most appropriate for him to govern this newly built black state.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know how to do it." Ji Jinkai stood aside and agreed with clasped fists.
"Well, feel free to do it. If there are really recovered people, you can consider letting them settle in other state capitals. If you want to disrupt them, you can't give them a chance to unite. Also, how much population is needed, and how many other prefectures and governors are needed? After discussion, I have already greeted them, and they will definitely cooperate with you fully."
Tang Ao nodded. With someone as serious and ruthless as Ji Jinkai, he no longer had to worry about how to manage Beidi after defeating Beidi. What he should consider now is how to defeat Beidi at the minimum cost.
Both Longya and Anxiang received intelligence. After learning that their army was about to conquer, Beidi also began to gather troops to prepare for war. Moreover, the number of enemy troops obtained was still very shocking, with as many as 340,000. number.
The Yiqu family has 100,000 people, the Gongsun family has 90,000 people, the Cheng family has 80,000 people, and the He Sui family has 70,000 people.
Moreover, they were all mainly cavalry. It was clear that seeing the Jizhou Army approaching menacingly, they also used all their strength and showed all their trump cards.
Compared to the nearly 350,000 enemies, the Jizhou Army only had more than 260,000 troops. The difference in strength between the two sides was nearly 100,000. Moreover, the side with fewer people wanted to attack the side with more people. It can be imagined that this battle was cruel. There are even some civil servants who are discussing privately that they are not optimistic about the outcome of this battle.
Under Tang Ao's governance, the civil servants in the territory were completely different from those who had worked before. What they valued more was actual ability, not just those who knew how to read and talk about saints every day. Word.
But change cannot be achieved in a short period of time. There are still many civil servants who want to rule the world with benevolence. It seems that in the eyes of people like them, as long as you are benevolent enough, the world will be conquered.
Average.
But they don’t know that the so-called benevolence is nothing more than words to educate the people. What is the meaning of this kind of preaching to those who can’t read a word and can’t even afford to eat?
Especially those people from other races, what they insist on is that the fist is the last word. If you try to reason with such people and talk about the thoughts of saints, isn't that your brain is broken?
Perhaps the peace of the world requires such thinking, but when the world is in chaos, this method is indeed of little use. It is far less effective than slashing through with a knife and killing the enemy out of fear.
Ji Jinkai is different from most civil servants in thinking, which is why Tang Ao wants to reuse him.
Isn't it just a difference of 100,000 troops?
Aren't they all cavalry?
Isn't it because Di people always give people the impression that they are good at fighting?
So what? The Jizhou Army has fought against it several times, but which one has failed?
As for the difference in the number of troops, it can be made up for by thunder and an army of birds. Just like when the Eight-Nation Allied Forces invaded, one thing was proved at that time. In a war, the side with more people does not necessarily win. Weapons
Whether it is advanced or not will play an absolutely important role in it.
The Iron Bureau in Jicheng City has been continuously improving over the years. It has already produced a large number of steel armors and weapons. Arm these things into the army. When the time comes on the battlefield, you will have weapons that can withstand several swords or even ten swords.
A battle armor with several knives.
On the contrary, with a wave of your sharp weapon, the opponent's armor has been shattered. I would like to ask, is this enough to make up for the disadvantage in numbers?
Compared with some of the civilian officials who were not optimistic, the military generals were all high-spirited.
This time, almost all the main elites of the Jizhou Army arrived. Except for the Quartet Army, which wanted to guard Gaozhou to prevent intrusions from the sea, and was training the Jizhou Navy, the Guiyi Army was left to expand its forces and defend the important Pingcheng.
In addition, the Jizhou Army is full of elites, and its combat power naturally makes them full of confidence. In other words, compared to the number of elites, the Jizhou Army actually has an advantage.
Three hundred and forty thousand Beidi cavalry, this is all the strength that Yiquxiao can bring out. All the men between the ages of fourteen and forty in the clan have been recruited to make up the number. This directly makes all their war horses
The horses were mobilized, and some young horses and draft horses that were supposed to be used for transportation were also mobilized to the battlefield.
This is all due to the previous transaction between Tang Ao and them. A large number of war horses and people were exchanged for Hero Drunk and Jizhou Tea, which caused Beidi's own strength to drop a lot. I didn't feel anything when everything was peaceful before, but
During this battle, a huge crisis emerged.
Whenever Tang Ao occupied a land, the first two things he did were to stabilize people's livelihood and build roads. This made his army gather very quickly. In just one month, more than 200,000 troops appeared in the town.
outside the county.
For this war of annihilation, the Jizhou Army from all six states provided great support. Just the number of civilians transporting grain, grass and baggage reached 300,000. From a distance, it looked like a lively scene.
On the sixth day of June, the weather was clear and the sun was high in the sky. It was midsummer. Following Tang Ao's order, the army was dispatched. The Snow Leopard 3rd Regiment of the Shaanshan Guards was the left wing vanguard, and the Feilong 6th Regiment was the right wing vanguard.
Stepping towards the territory of Beidi. The first goal of the Jizhou army is Muji City, the first city entering the territory of Beidi.
Since the last time the Jizhou Army occupied this place in a surprise attack, when it was taken back by Beidi, the city walls began to be reinforced. They even imitated Jizhou and dug an eight-meter-wide moat outside the city.
It is summer now, there is plenty of rain, and the water in the moat is sparkling. He Suihuan, who is watching this scene from the tower, is full of confidence.
This clan elder who had been captured by the Jizhou Army seemed to have forgotten the original shame. At this moment, he was standing on the city tower with a glowing face.
He Suihuan took the initiative to take over the task of guarding Muji City. In view of his volunteering, the other three clans gave strong support. In addition to the 70,000 warriors of the He Sui family, there were also the Yiqu clan, the Gongsun clan and the Chengcheng clan in the city.
Each clan provided ten thousand warriors.
Now that he had an army of 100,000 in hand, He Suihuan immediately felt like a hero in the world, someone who could fight against the enemy.
This is the first time since the establishment of the He Sui clan that he can command an army of 100,000 people. As the vanguard commander, He Suihuan has already begun to imagine that he defended Muji City, blocked the invading Jizhou army from the city, and even defeated the enemy.
Already.
If this can be done, the He Sui clan will rise rapidly. Beidi is a nation that respects heroes. As long as he can show enough ability, I am afraid that countless small tribes will vote for their He Sui clan.
Under the door.
If we can defeat the Jizhou Army and take advantage of the situation to kill them, the He Sui clan as the vanguard will also be able to distribute more of the good things they grabbed in Jizhou.
Thinking of the rise and glory of the He Sui clan under his leadership, He Suihuan had not had a good night's sleep in the past few days. He was so excited that he thought that now the Jizhou army could come to the city and let him ravage it.
.
"Elder clan, the scouts are here to report that the left and right vanguards of the Jizhou Army, totaling 10,000 cavalry, have arrived thirty miles outside the city."
"Oh, is this coming? Humph! Do you dare to be the vanguard with just ten thousand cavalry?" Listening to the scout's report, He Suihuan's face showed a strong fighting spirit, and he immediately moved towards the general palace sent by the Yiqu clan behind him.
Gu said: "General Gong, if you lead 20,000 cavalry to fight out, can you be sure of severely damaging the Jizhou vanguard?"
"Please rest assured, Mr. Sui, if I go forward now, I will definitely defeat the Jizhou cavalry." Miyagu clasped his fists and said with confidence.
"Wait a minute." Behind He Suihuan, He Suiqing suddenly said, "Brother, our mission is to hold on, not to fight. Are you reconsidering this?"
"What's there to consider? Even you didn't expect that we would take the initiative to attack, and the Jizhou Army couldn't even imagine it. The art of war says that winning by surprise is understandable. Okay, General Gong, go and order all the troops." He Suihuan waved.
He waved his hands with a proud look on his face.
The last time He Suihuan was captured by the Jizhou Army was entirely due to carelessness. He had led troops to the town and county a while ago, and he still remembered that the Jizhou Army there did not even dare to leave the city gate, and would only act like
The bastard is just sticking to its shell.
This gave him the illusion that the Jizhou Army was no good. Except for some conspiracies and tricks, his own strength was mediocre. If the two sides were really on the battlefield and they were fighting in battle, they would
How could he be the opponent of the heroic cavalry warriors of Dadi?
