Chapter eight hundred and seventieth infighting never forget
First, South Vietnam sent troops to take advantage; then Japan came and made a surprise attack, allowing them to figure out the strength of Daqian's army, so they continued to increase their troops, with the intention of expanding here and establishing a country; and finally, 200,000 Huns cavalry went south. What stirs up this land is the wind and rain.
Especially the 200,000 Huns cavalry, they brought the means of clearing grass and grain to the battlefield, and they became the most unruly and rule-breaking people on the battlefield.
To put it more specifically, they looted everywhere they went, killing people and setting fires. They also captured many local people and drove them away when they next attacked the city. Let them be the vanguard, use them for their own use, and serve as the spears and swords in their hands.
In this way, the soldiers who defended the city suffered a lot. Facing the large number of civilians, it was useless for them to fight or not to fight.
If you fight, you will inevitably be stigmatized and morally inferior to others.
If we don't fight, these people will become accomplices of the Huns. Those who really dare to rush to the tower and the city, then trample them under their feet, or even slaughter them all.
As the first battlefield for the Xiongnu army, Yuan Yi, the king of Xiaoqi in Huizhou, suffered a lot. After seeing that the Huns used this method to capture three of his cities, he gritted his teeth and carried out the massacre. The command.
As a result, the number of Daqian people who died in Daqian's army increased. The killings of the defenders also aroused the anger of the people attacking the city. Going forward meant death, and retreating meant death. Many people simply died. He joined the Xiongnu army, became the backbone of those driven by foreigners, and became the earliest traitor.
In the past, the Xiongnu had a severe shortage of iron weapons, not enough daily necessities, not enough iron arrows, not to mention strong armored soldiers.
Due to this restriction, the Hun cavalry's individual combat effectiveness is good, but when they are united together, their combat effectiveness is limited. But now that they have robbed three cities and dozens of villages, the weapons in their hands have been greatly improved. The combat effectiveness has also been greatly improved.
It is no longer the so-called Amen under Wu, but has become a powerful cavalry force. Under the leadership of the former Di Princess Wei Qian'er and the Hun King Hu Yangai, its strength continues to expand. Not only did the 200,000 cavalry they originally led have almost no losses , and also collected a total of 20,000 rapes, and this team is still expanding.
It is conceivable that with the backbone of the 20,000 traitors, they can mobilize more people to belong to them. The strength of the Huns army will become stronger and stronger, and they will even be able to conquer their masters with great achievements.
For this matter, the first person to have a headache was Emperor Qianying Tang Qingchuan.
It was originally thought that 200,000 cavalry would need a lot of food and grass. As long as he could control this matter, he would be able to control the fate of this army. This was why he was willing to let these people enter Pingcheng and enter Pingcheng. reason for closing.
But now, the Huns cavalry provided their daily needs through their own looting, and they had a good chance of getting rid of them and surviving. This had to give Emperor Qianying a headache.
The one who has the biggest headache right now is Xiao Qi Wang Yuan Yi. The number of Xiongnu cavalry threatening the people is increasing, and the pressure on him is finally increasing. After a bloody battle, Shoucheng was finally captured, and he also He had no choice but to lead his army to retreat to Lucheng, the place where Huizhou was first governed. At the same time, Yuan Yi also mobilized all his troops here, assuming a decisive battle.
...
Daliangcheng Imperial Palace.
Tai Chi Hall.
Jiang She, the right servant who had just taken office, reported to Emperor Qianying Tang Qingchuan with joy that Shoucheng had been captured and that the Xuanjia Army had settled in. He also said that the Xiongnu army had already moved towards Lucheng and that they would not be able to use it. How long will it take for it to be conquered and become one of the new territories for Daqian?
Wei Qian'er originally held the position of Youpu She, but since she chose to lead the army, she could not take on such an important position at the same time. The main reason was that Emperor Qian Ying wanted to give her a warning, so he took back this position. , to his former aide Jiang Chen.
Now that she heard Jiang Chen's report, there was some joy in her eyes. Wei Qian'er still kept her word. All the lands she attacked would be handed over to her. From this point of view, she could save a lot of things.
From this point of view, with these Huns cavalry, the day of unification of the world is not far away.
He nodded slightly, and originally wanted to express some praise, but he quickly noticed that Zuo Pushe Zhang Zhen had a bitter look on his face, and then asked in confusion, "Zhang Aiqing, is it because she is not feeling well? ?”
"As far as your Majesty is concerned, I am in good health." Hearing the emperor's concern, Zhang Zhen replied as if he was very moved.
"Even if you are in good health, why does such good news make Aiqing frown? Well, there are no outsiders here, there are only three of us, the monarch and his ministers. If you have anything to say, please just tell me." Tang Qingchuan asked with a smile. However, in fact, he had some suspicions in his mind, that is, the Huns cavalry were too powerful. Could Zhang Zhen be worried that they would threaten him?
Speaking of which, for the emperor, it is naturally a good thing to have an army capable of fighting, but if this army is too capable of fighting, it will inevitably cause people to worry. After all, high achievements can shock the emperor, and there is a saying , I will be outside, and I will not give you any orders.
Zhang Zhen's thoughts were just as Emperor Qian Ying had guessed. He indeed had strange thoughts, and his thoughts were even more serious.
"Your Majesty, I also received a battle report, which is more detailed."
"Oh, it said something." Emperor Qian Ying's face also straightened. Zhang Zhen is a Zuopushe, and his qualifications are more than one and a half points better than Jiang She. He has his own news channels, which is not a surprise. things.
"Back to Your Majesty, the battle report not only mentioned that the Xiongnu cavalry captured Shoucheng, but also said that the Shoucheng that was attacked was almost completely devoid of humans and animals, and not even the vegetation was left. It said that the Xiongnu army had passed through Everywhere, like locusts passing through, nothing is left behind. No! It should be said that a completely abandoned city is left behind. There is no population or anything useful in Shoucheng."
As he spoke, Zhang Zhen's voice became more and more painful. From the looks of it, he looked like he was heartbroken and about to cry.
It was just about the survival of a city. Zhang Zhen had never even been to Shoucheng. He didn't care much about the life and death there. But as a minister, he had to have such an attitude. Only this, the emperor saw in his eyes, Only then will they be convinced that this is a minister who has the best interests of the world in mind, and they will take a more favorable view of him.
"Is it so serious? No way?" Jiang Chen on the side spoke. He also read the battle report submitted, but what he said was so incomplete, which made him feel that his face was dull, and he thought I want to give Zhang Zhen a blow, otherwise, wouldn’t I look too incompetent?
"Why not." Facing the emperor, Zhang Zhen naturally had to pretend to be a grandson. Even in order to show that he cared about the world, it was not impossible to squeeze out a few drops of horse urine at the critical moment. But for his colleagues, he could still threaten himself.
With Jiang Chen's status, he would not be polite in any way.
In the past, Wei Qian'er was You Pushe. Although this woman had extraordinary abilities, she had never been in Zhang Zhen's eyes. He knew that this person had her own ambitions and it would be difficult for her to go down the same path as Tang Qingchuan.
Similarly, Tang Qingchuan would not really trust this woman completely. Giving her a position as a right servant was just to take advantage of her ability.
Jiang Chen is completely different. As an old man from Prince Zhong's palace and with some abilities, Jiang Chen can threaten his status at any time. It's like he has become Youpu She, so he can take another step forward.
If so, wouldn't he be the only one left with the position of Zuo Pushe?
Zhang Zhen knew very well that he once had a very disgraceful experience, that is, he was captured by Ji Wang Tang Ao. At that time, Jiang Chen had thought about replacing him. How could he do such an ambitious subordinate?
Not on guard.
And now, it is time to give a good blow to his arrogance. Use the facts and tell Jiang Chen in front of the emperor that you are still far behind me, Zhang Zhen, if you want to compare with me.
As soon as he raised his hand, a secret message was thrown on Jiang Chen. At this moment, Zhang Zhen seemed to have transformed into a righteous hero who hates evil and said: "Jiang Pushe, take a good look. This is what I can shoot."
Report. Not only did it say that after Shoucheng was swept away by the Xiongnu army, not a single blade of grass grew, but the same was true for the three small cities and villages it had previously occupied. It also said that rebuilding Shoucheng would not be as difficult as rebuilding it.
It is easier to build a city, but think about it, what kind of destructive power has it reached?
Doesn't this mean that if the Xiongnu army is allowed to continue like this, everywhere they go will be in chaos. Even if Emperor Qianying gets the country by then, all he will get is a dilapidated no-man's land.
What's the point of that?
"Is it really so serious?" After hearing this, Tang Qingchuan couldn't pretend anymore. He strode down from the throne and snatched the secret letter from Jiang She who was about to read the report. He just glanced at it a few times.
After that, he said with fire in his eyes, "What do these Huns cavalry want to do? Are they going to destroy us?"
No wonder Tang Qingchuan was so angry. What the report said was far more serious than what Zhang Zhen said orally. There was a set of detailed data about Shoucheng. During the attack, about 40,000 people were killed on both sides during the attack, but after King Xiao Qi
After the army was defeated and retreated, when the Xiongnu army massacred the city, they actually killed 80,000 people.
In Shoucheng, no one was spared, from the old to the weak, to the young and the babies who were crying for food. This... How is this behavior different from that of animals?
This was just Shoucheng, but so many people died. If they were allowed to continue fighting, many people would die unjustly. And those Ganren who were lucky enough to survive might not dare to hate the Huns.
, then they can only accuse themselves, the emperor, of being immoral.
