Lao Tan was born to march and fight. He couldn't sit still, let alone do any more detailed work.
For example, right now, the war is clearly not over yet, it can even be said to be far from over. There are still many, many places where Lao Tan can show his strength.
However, He Mai dragged him to the south gate of Yongzhou City. You should know that the fighting situation here was much calmer and more relaxed than at the north gate.
When Tan Pingzhi arrived here, he was completely useless as a hero.
Besides, what did He Mai ask him to do?
fight?
no.
impossible.
He Mai was not very good at fighting in the first place. No matter how much he thought about choosing a place like this, he would not do it specifically for fighting.
From the moment he arrived at the South Gate, He Mai had been shouting and shouting, commanding this and shouting that. The soldiers he brought over were actually very safe.
Because they were not fighting the enemy at all, but were maintaining order outside the city, gathering together the remaining soldiers and scattered ordinary people wandering outside Yongzhou City.
Those who should surrender, persuade them to surrender.
Just instruct them to do what they need to do and clean the battlefield. Don’t you need people?
It's the same on any battlefield. In addition to attacking, maintaining order is also a very important part. Look, didn't you Wang Zhiyuan say that I, He Mai, am also of great use?
Everyone has their own strengths, that's what you said.
I, He Mai, have finally thought it through. Instead of waiting for a pie to fall from the sky and for you, Wang Zhiyuan, to take pity on you, I might as well go out and find a job myself.
When it comes to fighting, my ability is barely there.
Not to mention those in Jingzhou, even the slaves and Wuji are much braver than me. I am not that much of a match.
On that frontal battlefield, there really wasn't much room for me to show my strength.
However, since we are all mountain climbers, we naturally won’t just stand aside and wait. Wouldn’t it be a waste if I don’t use such a smart brain?
So, I observed carefully, seized the opportunity, and immediately arranged a suitable job for myself.
The battlefield is so fierce, it is a head-on battle, but the reorganization after the battle is equivalent to soft power.
If you just occupy the city but cannot restore its order to normal in a short period of time, then the occupying party will not be able to get more benefits.
Who would want to accept a dilapidated and decaying city destroyed by enemy forces?
Nowadays, the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Jin Dynasty, as a crusade, is also likely to face such a situation. The tribes entrenched in the Central Plains have always been living here as masters, and they are domineering and domineering, relying on their proud military power.
value.
So, now, can this system still hold up?
Can you eat it well?
For them, the moment that truly tests their humanity has finally arrived. Do they regard these ancient capitals of the Central Plains as their own homes, or are they just temporary residences? Once lost, they will have nothing to do with them.
Just look at what these cities did when they encountered difficulties, and you don't even need to go to the ancient capital Chang'an.
Just look at what is developing here in Yongzhou City.
Although the Jin army's firepower was fierce, it was the Ding Ling people who did the most damage to the buildings and people in the city.
They killed innocent people, and they burned down people's homes.
With the help of the flames that rushed into the city, the Ding Ling people burned down all the houses and shops along the street. Suddenly, the Yongzhou City was filled with flames!
Rivers of blood flowed, and the screams shook the sky!
All these crimes had nothing to do with the Jin army. The Jin army only attacked the city, and their ultimate goal in attacking the city was to drive away the Ding Ling people entrenched here.
For the people in the city, it will only be affected when there is no choice. As long as there is spare power to maintain it, we will do our best to maintain it.
However, even such a battle in which the Jin army had an absolute advantage still brought disaster to the people of Yongzhou City.
All of this, every account, must be settled on the heads of Ding Ling people.
In order to reduce the casualties and property losses of the people in the city, He Mai quickly took action and organized people to gather at the South Gate, which was easier to break through.
While charging into the inner city, they gathered together all the common people and enemy troops who could be rescued. The most important thing was to prevent the remaining Ding Ling people in the city from harming ordinary people.
This matter did not require He Mai's orders. When Tan Pingzhi saw this chaos, he immediately became angry.
With both hammers in hand, I have the world!
He mounted his war horse, rushed into the crowd, hammered left and right, and soon cut a bloody path.
Of course, all this blood belongs to the Ding Ling people.
Are these people still human beings when they bully defenseless ordinary people?
Originally, Yongzhou City was plundered by them, and the people had already suffered a disaster because of them. Now, the people of Yongzhou, who have just settled down, have not yet calmed down, and they have encountered this kind of thing again.
It can really be called as pitiful as a sentence.
Therefore, Tan Pingzhi's arrival, to the people in the city, was simply like a divine weapon descending from heaven, meant to save the suffering!
As for He Mai?
Naturally, it has its own position.
Moreover, seeing Lao Tan rushing so quickly, He Mai was even more proud. He had such a good vision and he chose the right person right away!
Lao Tan is responsible for the charge, but where is He Mai?
Of course, they also wanted to kill some Ding Ling people, but their performance was naturally not comparable to that of Master Hammer Master Fu Tan Ping.
He Mai was more concerned about the re-establishment of order after the war. Tan Pingzhi was clearing the way from the front, while he led a group of soldiers to observe from the rear. Those Ding Ling people who had put down their weapons early and did not intend to resist, at this time, could
Making such a choice is really not easy for Ding Ling people.
Of course it should be encouraged.
As Tan Pingzhi killed more Ding Ling people in the front, He Mai gained more and more.
It strictly complies with the principle that the more, the more.
With the joint efforts of He Mai and Tan Pingzhi, the order of Yongzhou City has been initially restored, at least close to Nancheng.
As for Beicheng, which is closer to the battlefield ahead, that place is beyond the reach of He Mai.
I can't control it, I really can't control it.
Faced with such a situation, little Amai expressed satisfaction. Seeing that the order in the city had been restored to a certain extent, he had finally found a job that suited him.
When Wang Mi began to notice the order in the city, he would naturally discover that it was he, He Mai, who had done this.
Extremely efficient and well done.
Just so arrogant.
He Mai's plan was perfect. The only variable was probably Tan Pingzhi. When they first arrived at the south gate, they saw the place was in chaos and the people were suffering. Of course, the righteous Lao Tan couldn't just watch it.
.
Without He Mai's command, he rushed into the enemy formation and rescued the people.
But now, as the order in the city is gradually restored, Lao Tan's thoughts are aroused. It's time to change places.
My mission can be considered completed.
You don’t need me here anymore!
He wanted to leave, but He Mai didn't allow it. Moreover, there were many reasons, which at first seemed to make some sense.
However, truth comes true, and Lao Tan is still unconvinced.
Why did he join the Northern Expedition?
That was to attack the city and hunt for territory, to show off his talents and ambitions. If he was just here to guard the gate and collect the remaining soldiers, then he might as well stay at Jingkou to guard it!
Why so?
It’s a lot of trouble.
Seeing that there are no big products here at South Gate, Lao Tan really feels itchy.
Of course He Mai understands his feelings. They are all his brothers. What kind of character is Lao Tan? How can he still not know?
He only heard him comfort him: "Brother Ping, don't be impatient, don't be impatient."
"I know very well what you want to do. Just wait and see. We will gain nothing by guarding here."
reward?
What can be gained?
Tan Pingzhi had already stretched his neck and watched carefully for a long time, but he didn't see any general with military rank passing by.
The so-called hunting of rabbits requires a rabbit!
The idiom "waiting for the rabbit" can be regarded as a neutral word. For people who cannot use it flexibly and properly, it is naturally a derogatory word. If you stick to the rules and are too lazy to compare, you will naturally gain nothing.
For those who have already made a complete plan, the secret of this strategy of waiting for the rabbit is to guard the rabbit's only path.
With the right tactics, can you still miss the rabbit?
Just when Tan Pingzhi was eager to try and move, suddenly, there was movement at the corner door on the side of the south gate.
Yongzhou City is no different from other large cities. The main construction method is that there are gates around the city wall, and there are two matching small gates on the side of the gate.
In the late Jin Dynasty, the city's architectural model was still relatively traditional, especially the city gates, which did not have the arch-style gates that were popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
In this era, city gates were often trapezoidal.
The main door is trapezoidal, and there is no doubt that the small side door is also trapezoidal.
Whether it is marching or ordinary people, it is more convenient to enter and exit. Now, through the maintenance of Wang Mi and others, the order at the south gate has been restored.
Especially near the city gate, it has been guarded by Jin soldiers for a long time.
Of course, some of them are Dingling people, and these Dingling people are outstanding people who carry out their racial traditions to the end.
Isn’t that just surrender?
Don't you just continue to help other tribes?
These are all very simple things. In the past decades of wandering in the Central Plains, Ding Ling people have done it a lot. So, now, they have changed from Di Qin to Jin people. What does this mean?
Isn't this a normal operation?
Besides, the Jin people are much easier to talk to and behave decently than the Di people. So what is there to be ashamed of if you follow the Jin people?
Maybe, it’s still a good way out for the brothers!
In short, it’s just a bowl of rice, no matter how you mess around, there’s no shame!
These Dingling soldiers came to guard the city gate, and they were very familiar with it. They had already occupied this city, and they were more familiar with the environment here.
Under the guard of a large number of Jin troops, even if they were still allowed to hold weapons, they would not dare to make any mistakes.
Watch the city gate obediently to prevent any suspicious people from entering or exiting.
With them, He Mai felt more at ease. Needless to say, these soldiers didn't even change their armor. They were still wearing Dingling uniforms, but they just changed the direction of the weapons in their hands.
They themselves had no pressure, and the Jin army had no burden even more.
Because their costumes had an unexpected effect at first. Some Ding Ling soldiers who fought all the way out of the city saw their own people standing at the city gate when they rushed out, so they took it for granted that the city gate
It's still in your control.
He rushed forward without hesitation!
We are all our own people, what are we afraid of?
What are you afraid of?
With the brothers here, of course there is nothing to be afraid of.
Come to us quickly!
There is a future!
Because they were bewitched by the surrendering soldiers of Ding Ling, many soldiers who originally wanted to fight for a while fell into the ambush set by the Jin army as soon as they left the city.
They originally expected to recruit these brothers outside the city gate to fight together!
Who would have thought that the brothers had already changed their banners and become each other's people. When they saw soldiers rushing out of the city, whether they wanted to fight again or wanted to escape, they could all greet them. As long as they ran
When they arrive at the city gate, the surrendered soldiers will swarm up with the Jin army.
Use a variety of methods flexibly to ensure that those on horseback are thrown off their horses, and those fighting on foot are not to be left behind, making sure that they are unable to move forward.
They were all surrounded, and after some disturbance, their weapons were confiscated.
bring it on!
If you can't beat it, join it!
In fact, this has always been the way of survival for many Dingling people. After all, they have always been a vulnerable group in the hinterland of the Central Plains, with few people and weak strength. In the past, when the major tribes were still very powerful, they would fight in groups.
One of the targets of bullying.
At that time, if they were strong enough, they could naturally find a vast field in the Central Plains to use as their own territory.
However, for many years, they have not realized this wish.
This shows what?
This is enough to show that the Ding Ling people are simply weak.
Since the purpose of occupying a fixed territory cannot be achieved, what is the secret of the Dingling people still being widely active in the Central Plains over the years?
There is always a reason!
Of course!
The answer is not difficult at all, it's just a matter of seeking refuge here and there.
They either attached themselves to Di Qin or defected to Yao Qiang. Of course, they also extended an olive branch to Jin a long time ago.
However, before the slow-moving Jin Dynasty decided whether to accept it, they rebelled and left again.
Come and go with ease.
Because they are weak, there is no force that wants to severely punish them for their rebellious behavior and hold them accountable.
It's okay if you leave, you won't cause trouble if you leave.
On the contrary, in such troubled times, there are some strange people who admire Zhai Liao quite a lot and think that Zhai Liao can lead his tribe to survive for a long time despite his own limited conditions. This can be regarded as a kind of ability.
Quite capable.
Therefore, for the Ding Ling people, they are particularly familiar with the process of how to do a good job after surrender.
