"Lingbao, I will leave these five hundred people to you. Remember, you must obey the wild king's arrangements and do not act arbitrarily!"
"No problem, I'll cover it!"
Huan Xuan agreed happily, led his troops and horses, and disappeared from Wang Mi's sight in a blink of an eye. Although he said it was good, in fact, Wang Mi didn't believe even a single punctuation mark.
"Zhiyuan, do you really want Huan Lingbao to lead the troops?"
"Aren't you afraid of him trespassing?"
You see, Wang Mi could not clearly see things that He Wuji could see clearly. He sighed deeply and said helplessly: "So, only give him five hundred people."
There is no doubt that these five hundred people were reserved for Huan Xuan to waste. When others charge into the battle, the most worrying thing is that the general is too timid to fight. When it comes to Huan Xuan, it is completely different.
You don't have to worry about him not daring to fight, but you have to worry about him charging too hard and ruining the tactical strategy.
This is a tiger!
Once you go down the mountain, you are going to kill someone!
If such a general has proper tactics and is smart enough when attacking, he may be Huo Qubing's second best.
But Huan Xuan is really suspenseful.
If he charges alone and doesn't care, the soldiers behind him will suffer. The damage may be serious.
Wang Mi has certainly considered this reality for a long time.
Therefore, he was only given five hundred people.
"Five hundred people is quite a lot!" He Wuji sighed, the king was too arrogant.
This is indeed the case in ancient battles. In such battles, five hundred people are already considered a large-scale squad.
And three thousand people, if they are lucky, can conquer a medium-sized city!
Moreover, among the Beifu soldiers, the composition of these five hundred people still depends on what kind of composition they are. Among the Beifu soldiers led by Wang Mi, elementary military classifications have already appeared.
For example, although the majority of the 500 people Huan Xuan took away were infantry, they were also followed by musketeers and artillery teams.
Even two of the red cannons were snatched away by him!
It’s like a fully equipped team!
To be honest, although the number of people is a bit smaller, but really speaking, the strength is not weak.
What's more, there are also red-clothed cannons. Huan Xuan already had one, but Wang Mi gave it special permission to be used by him alone.
Later, he also received alms from Huan Chong.
The two red cannons are really well-equipped and have a lot of firepower for a team of 500 people.
He Wuji's worries are not unreasonable. No matter how small the team is, they cannot be easily dealt with and watch them die.
Liu Yu and Tan Pingzhi were ready and began to divide their forces to attack.
As for Wang Mi himself, he was also very itchy this time and planned to fight with the army.
let's hit!
Look how long this Yongzhou City can hold on, and look how much energy these Dingling people have left!
In fact, the Ding Ling people have not yet realized that they also have a very serious crisis ahead of them.
That is the fighting strength of the Ding Ling people. How many percent is left?
Don't forget that the Yongzhou City in front of them was the one they had just seized from Yao Qiang. To conquer such a city, didn't they need to expend troops?
In such a short time, a war breaks out again. How can they still exert their ten times ten combat effectiveness?
Therefore, it may seem arrogant, but in fact, the defenses in Yongzhou City may be much more empty than the Jin army previously expected.
At least, it is weaker than when Yao Shuode was guarding it.
Maybe, this time, the Jin army will get twice the result with half the effort!
Speaking of Qiang soldiers, we have to mention Yao Chang. Since Yao Shuode's death, Yao Chang's whole person seemed to have turned to stone.
Without saying a word, there was no warmth left in his body.
At this moment, Wang Mi felt that it was time to give this old man a beating.
Over here, Wang Mi asked Zeng Jing to take Yao Chang to the military tent and wait for questioning. Over there, Yao Chang actually asked to see him.
Isn’t this just a hit-and-miss?
When Yao Chang entered the tent, Wang Mi was about to say a few words of relief, but the old man knelt down in front of him!
This turn of events happened so fast that Wang Mi was shocked.
"Old General, what does this mean?"
"Get up quickly!"
Although Yao Chang was a defeated general, since he had been captured and was old, he still had to have the necessary respect.
In this aspect, Wang Mi has always done a good job and will not treat anyone badly or discriminate against anyone.
Unless they had a deep hatred against him, or had seriously harmed his compatriots in the Jin Dynasty, he did not intend to kill all other foreign generals.
Zeng Jing stepped forward and took Yao Chang's arm, but Yao Chang actually threw him aside. When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with tears.
"Your Majesty, please invade Yongzhou City as soon as possible, kill Ding Ling and avenge my brother!"
This old man, what kind of show is he acting in?
This Yongzhou City originally belonged to him, Yao Chang, right? After all, it didn't belong to him, Wang Mi. Just because it was stolen by Ding Ling people, do you even want to abandon this city?
What's more, it was the Ding Ling people who killed his biological brother. Shouldn't it be the Qiang people who want revenge?
He actually started asking Jin people to help him get revenge?
Where are these?
Even if the Jin army captured Yongzhou City again, it seemed that it had nothing to do with him Yao Qiang, and it was not at all to help him avenge Yao Qiang.
"General Yao, it is true that our army wants to capture Yongzhou City. However, since Yongzhou City was once the territory of Yao Qiang, the old general should be familiar with the situation in the city."
"I wonder if the old general can help our army when we attack the city later?"
We have already reached this point. There is no need to use those twists and turns. We can go straight to the point. They are all people who have rolled over on the battlefield. They are not afraid of death. Why use those useless roundabout tactics?
That's how it looks.
Yao Chang's reaction also confirmed Wang Mi's thoughts. Yes, the old general thought the same way.
"Your Majesty, Mingjian, I came here this time to offer a clever plan to alleviate the Jin army's worries."
"Yongzhou City is difficult to break, but with the strength of the Jin army, it is not impossible to occupy it. I can't help in this regard."
"However, I am very familiar with the situation in Yongzhou City. On the day of the opening of the city, I am willing to go with the Jin army. The warehouses where weapons and armor are stored, the places where grain and grass are stored, and the hidden sentries, as long as the king is willing, I can
You can try your best to help find them one by one."
"What should be collected and what should be destroyed are all at the discretion of the king."
Huh?
Yao Chang's words were very useful. Wang Mi did not expect that the old general would use this aspect to win over the Jin army.
Obviously, Yongzhou City was occupied by the Ding Ling people first, which was an unexpected thing for him.
Moreover, compared to being actually defeated by the Jin army, Ding Ling stole his home from behind. Such an operation was even more difficult for Yao Chang to accept.
Ding Ling people!
How dare they just ride on the heads of the Qiang soldiers and dominate them?
They are nothing!
If the Qiang soldiers were not forced by the Jin army, and their troops were transferred everywhere, and the city was weak, where would they have been able to show off their violence?
For any tribe entrenched in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the Dingling people are at the low end of the food chain. Of course, not to mention those tribes outside the region. For example, the Rouran tribe, which is still relatively weak, is not attractive at all.
.
There is no stable strength to compete with the Central Plains tribes. In Yao Qiang's eyes, Di Qin, who has been crippled, can barely be regarded as an opponent, and their biggest enemy is Murong, who is stable and capable.
department.
A general like Murong Chui would only be decent if he could win or lose.
As for Zhai Liao and his group, when they were working under Di Qin in the past, they had never dealt with the Qiang and Xianbei people.
Even if others follow Fu Jian in doing things, their hearts still belong to themselves. The temporary humiliation and burden are all for the sake of the longer-term future.
Only the Ding Ling people, only they, were focused on flattering Fu Jian and surrounding him, fearing that the major tribes were not unlucky enough and would instigate them and cause various troubles.
Since the strength is not enough and the number of people is small, in order to survive, this is the only strategy the Ding Ling people can adopt.
As a result, not only the Di people did not regard the Dingling people as human beings, but also the Xianbei and Qiang people who were also oppressed by the Di people, no one would look at them seriously.
As a result, over time, Ding Ling, who originally loved jumping horizontally repeatedly, became more and more happy to dance.
This is the current situation of the Ding Ling people.
After the disintegration of Di Qin, several major tribes had to consider how to find a territory for themselves. Needless to say, Di Qin, judging from the situation at that time, they had no choice but to move westward after losing the city of Chang'an.
As for the Yao Qiang clan, they were the victors who occupied the capital city of Chang'an, so they were naturally in the most advantageous position.
As for the Murong tribe, these people are all stubborn. They cannot leave their homeland and cannot forget the glory of Dayan.
So, when the time came, he immediately formed a group to return to his ancestral land and defended the Longxing land of Dayan. Judging from the situation at the time, this seemed to be a good move.
After all, at that time, many territories in the northeast were indeed unmanaged after the collapse of Di Qin, and no relatively strong forces had emerged.
Not to mention, there was also the Jin Dynasty who was obstructing it, conquering the important town of Yecheng and inserting its forces horizontally.
At this time, it is relatively labor-saving for the Xianbei tribe to occupy this place. Moreover, this is also a choice that is in line with their usual strategy.
Dayan can be regarded as the overlord that has been entrenched for decades. In those years when it developed independently and was not annexed by Di Qin, Xianbei has gradually completed its sinicization, advocating farming life, and the social level of education is relatively high.
So, it is only natural that they, who have gradually accepted the traditional Central Plains lifestyle, occupy the traditional Central Plains hinterlands such as Hebei and Shandong.
Only Ding Ling was left.
Open your eyes and take a look. With such a small number of people, can they beat Yao Qiang? Of course they can't. Will Yao Qiang accept them living together in Chang'an?
Of course that is impossible. Yao Chang is a very narrow-minded man. A person like Zhai Liao who is very honest will not get into trouble!
Murong Chui?
In comparison, this one is much more tolerant and tolerant, but is it possible for Zhai Liao to defect to him?
hehe……
Even if he wanted to, Murong Chui would not give him a chance.
Although Murong Chui was broad-minded and talented, he didn't have Fu Jian's stinking habit of being obsessed with great achievements.
On the contrary, his fate has been ups and downs in the past half of his life, which can be considered quite bumpy. He knows better than anyone what kind of person Zhai Liao is.
How is it possible to lure a wolf into the house?
There is no way, Dajin next door will not give Ding Ling people any room to live.
Then, they can only wander around the hinterland of the Central Plains, transform into mobile troops, and rely on skills such as taking advantage of the situation to rob, which can be regarded as occupying two or three cities.
However, because of its small territory, it is basically ignored when counting the forces in the Central Plains.
In this way, Yao Chang's anger is understandable.
Before arriving at Yongzhou City, Yao Chang still had one hope, one extravagant wish, or Yao Shuode suddenly broke out, defeated the Jin people, and rescued his brother.
Or, Yao Shuode suddenly had an idea and listened to his brother's advice and just opened the city and surrendered.
Anyway, I can't beat him.
Why put yourself in danger?
As a result, everyone saw that the moment Zhai Liao emerged from behind Yao Shuode, all these illusions came to nothing.
None of them are possible!
I understand that kind of anger and unwillingness.
It would be fine if they were defeated by the powerful Jin army, but they were actually bullied by the Ding Ling people. Who could endure such a thing?
No one can bear it!
Although Yao Chang still wants to help more, it is a pity that he needs no one and no land now, so he can only reveal some information.
Along the way, although the Northern Expedition army fought consecutive battles and captured many Yao Qiang territories, the Jin army did not absorb too many Qiang people. The Jin army did absorb some ordinary people in the city as a reserve force.
However, no matter what their purpose is, the Qiang people still need to be on guard. Therefore, so far, the Qiang people have not served the Jin army much.
As for the food, grass and baggage, it was even more beyond Yao Chang's ability to manage. Since they occupied the city, the equipment in the city naturally fell into the pockets of the Jin army.
Could it be that the Jin army would still retain troops to nourish the Qiang soldiers?
Of course that's impossible. Where can such a cheap thing be found?
As for the territory, everything that should be handed over to the Jin army was also given to the Jin army. Yao Chang had no good plan on how to further capture Yongzhou City.
Along the way, Yao Chang's thoughts also changed again and again.
Of course, at the beginning, I was extremely resentful of Wang Mi and wanted to get rid of him quickly, or else I would commit suicide.
You can’t be humiliated either!
However, in the end, the results were seen. Although Yao Chang was determined, he did not choose death in the end.
Then, the only option is to continue living.
How to live?
Yao Chang suddenly discovered that the young King Langya, the leader of the Jin army, did not seem to be a very evil person.
He is modest, considerate of his subordinates, and has great trust in the generals in Beifu. The most important thing is that he is young and does not have deep-rooted hatred.
He is negotiable and gentle.
I heard that he was a child of a noble family in the Jin Dynasty. Yao Chang was not very familiar with the family and family status that Jin people were particular about. However, it can be seen that Wang Mi was indeed a noble son with a good family background and a better education.
