On June 26, Daning City had a completely new look.
Li Hongren, an important member of the army accompanying the Shuofang shogunate, hurried toward the city.
On the way, he met Wei Cai Bo Bu, a member of the Wei Cai family in Dijinze. His Chinese name was Wei Rang, and he accompanied him on many expeditions.
"Have the arrangements been made?" Li Hongren asked.
"We were sent out last night," Wei Cai Bo Bu replied.
Li Hongren was the son of the late Huo Guogong Li Shao. He was appointed as the Yunyang Order of Jingzhao Prefecture, and was later transferred to the Shuofang Shogunate as an important member of the army. When he left the army, Li Hongren did some staff and painting work in the army, but everyone knew that he was
The de facto supervisory army represents the will of King Xia.
Don’t believe it? There are a hundred soldiers around Li Hongren. They were born in Hengshan and were nicknamed “Hengshan Bubazi”. Their official mission is to protect Li Hongren’s safety, but when necessary, they can kill generals and execute justice on the spot.
, although I have never done this.
There are people around Zhe Zongben, people around Li Tangbin, people around Li Renjun, and now there are people around Yang Yue. Looking at the bright side, Lao Yang's status has risen and he has become a commander-in-chief.
What Li Hongren and Wei Cai Bo Bu were talking about was actually very simple. Li Hongren reported to the King of Xia that Yang Yue "didn't understand the general situation" and wanted to provoke the Khitan and Hedong at the same time and undermine the King of Xia's plan.
The order was ordered to be restrained. The report was sent by someone from the Weicai family. He was a member of the Xia King's own family and was deeply trusted.
"Li Cunxiao is in Guizhou, not far away. Why hasn't he come yet?" Weicai Bobu suddenly asked, "The Heiji army is already in place, and now we are waiting for the Jin people to come. If they still don't come,
, having a large army squatting in the mountains is not an option. It is better to assemble the Golden Sword and Heiji armies and sweep them further north and east."
"The Jin people are definitely coming, and all the tribes in the northern part of the mountain are watching." Li Hongren said with certainty.
The tribes in Yanbei are indeed waiting for news.
They would rather run away than show their inclination and join any party before the situation is completely clear. They will help whoever wins. This is the survival philosophy of the grassroots. Don't laugh at them. This has been their survival for thousands of years.
Wisdom and strength only go so far, and those who don't do this may already be dead.
"Have you heard any news about Youzhou and Hedong?" Weicai Bobu asked.
"Dai Bei is like facing a formidable enemy. There are many cavalry and the checkpoints are very strict. It is difficult to send people to investigate." Li Hongren said: "This is especially true in Youzhou. Although Li Cunxiao is reckless and rough, he still obeys his righteousness.
My father ordered me. Until now I have been very quiet, which is not in line with his temperament. I can only say that Li Keyong gave him the order. But he strictly abides by the rules and does not act rashly."
"So, Li Keyong may take big action." Wei Cai Bo Bu said worriedly.
For local powerful factions like them, fighting is easy and pleasant, and they can also seize large amounts of supplies, which is the most ideal. But if you want to gnaw hard bones, such as fighting with the Jin army, no loot will be captured, but many people will die, this is
Very uneconomical.
"If Li Keyong doesn't want to represent the north, he will definitely come if something happens to Youzhou." Li Hongren knew very well what Weicai Bobu was thinking, and comforted him: "In the future, when the king establishes a new dynasty, the Weicai family will retire with the country, and Yongzhen
Dijinze, this is a huge benefit. So what if we have to fight a bloody battle with the Jin people for these benefits?"
"That's true." Weicai Bobu smiled and said, "Thank you Li Suishi for the enlightenment. The Yeli family is not as hard-working as the Zang family. It makes no sense for the Weicai family to be hesitant."
Of course, the various inspection envoy tribes are also different. As the saying goes, there is a difference between relatives and strangers. The three tribes of Wei Cai followed early and got married to the king of Xia. The three women of the direct lineage all obtained the status of royal concubines.
.Can the Zhuang Lang clan, the Hun clan, the Geshu clan, the Qibi clan, and the Zangcai clan compare with them? It’s a dream.
After saying goodbye to Wei Cai Bo Bu, Li Hongren returned to the city.
The tribal people are cooking. Most of the time they eat milk, dried meat, broth, wild vegetables, and occasionally seasoned with pickles and corn. Military activities have basically stopped, and many tribes have dispersed to the north to graze cattle and sheep. Daning City
The surrounding pastures are almost being eaten away. This is how fighting is done on the grasslands. It seems that you can drive cattle and sheep all the way to fight. In fact, you have to spend too much time grazing, and you also need vast pastures to graze, and you can get as much milk as possible to supplement them.
For food, slaughter less cattle and sheep if possible. Daning City once ate horse meat for several days in a row, and Li Hongren almost vomited.
People were coming and going in the temporary government office. After entering, Li Hongren first greeted the generals and then sat down to work.
"If King Xi comes to surrender, it is not good to accept it, and it is not good not to accept it. It will be a dilemma." The speaker was Hungu, the Tibetan general who commanded the troops of the Hun tribe.
"Are you that afraid of the Khitans?" Wang He said disdainfully.
He was the son of Wang Xie, the inspector of Mulashan, and the younger brother of Wang Chong, the commander of Leopard Cavalry. These words caused his brother to look at him angrily, and he immediately did not dare to say any more.
It is said that since the Tatar pacification of Yinshan, the pastures inside and outside Yinshan have been re-divided. The Geshu family was moved to Nuozhenshui Branch and gave up the pasture in Fengzhou; the Qibi tribe moved east to the newly established Rouzhou, which is equivalent to robbing Yinshan
The territory of the Tatars; the Zhuang Lang family, the Hun family, and the Wang family are all as before.
The first two families are actually nothing, the pasture area is not small, but the Wang family wants to leave Mulashan. Their pasture area is the smallest, connected to the Nuozhen River in the north, and cannot cross the Yinshan Mountain in the south. It is uncomfortable to be caught in the middle, but...
The tribe has a very large population, reaching 90,000. In terms of per capita wealth, it is almost the poorest among the five Yinshan tribes, so it has a strong motivation to migrate outward.
In order to obtain a good pasture that is large enough and rich enough like the Geshu and Qibi tribes, military exploits are indispensable. King Xia is kind, but it is only limited to wealth. For cultivated land and pasture, he
I have always been very strict and don't give you what you want.
The ranch in Yanbei is actually very good, Wang He has always thought so, and his brother Wang Chong actually agrees with this, but he will not say it directly.
"Although the Khitans are stronger than us, they are not unable to deal with them. Your Majesty is determined to send tens of thousands of elite cavalry to fight against them all year round. With the support of the entire Central Plains, they are also exhausted to death."
He smiled kindly and said, "But is it worth starting a war with them while we have this opportunity?"
"Whether it is worth starting a war or not, it is naturally up to Yang Dutou to decide." Wang He retorted, but was glared at by his brother again, and he was suddenly confused.
Hungu smiled and said nothing.
"General Hun, if troops come from Guizhou, you will be the vanguard." A loud voice sounded outside the door, but it was Yang Yue who came in.
Everyone shut up.
"They all have a lot of time to spare." Yang Yue sneered: "I received a military report that Kang Junli led his army north, and there were no less than two thousand bandit cavalry outside Yanmen Pass. Who among you will go back and drive them away?"
******
It took eight days for the news from Yanbei to arrive in Heyang. At this time, Shao Shude was staying with the Tianxiong Army who had been transferred to Heyang.
Not long after the Tianxiong Army's left and right wings were reorganized.
Military envoy Zang Dubao, deputy envoy Li Renjun, Du Yuhou Niu Li, Du Youyi envoy Wang Jianji, left wing envoy Li Lin, right wing envoy Xie Bin, these are high-level officers. Commanders of the left and right wing, camp
, most of the team members came from the Tianxiong Army, except for a few outstanding ones such as Wang Jiao (the first commander of the left wing), the Heyuan Army, and the Baoyi Army system suffered heavy losses, and the Yumen Army was completely wiped out. A good
I didn't get any of the jobs I clicked.
When the four armies merged, why did the majority of the benefits fall on the Tianxiong Army? Don’t ask, it’s the highest order of King Xia.
The Thien Hung Army is currently stationed in the countryside of Hanoi County. They get to know each other every day. They have one drill every three days and one drill every seven days. They train very frequently. The Wu student officers have brought their style into the new army, coming from Heyuan.
The personnel of the Baoyi and Yumen armies were extremely uncomfortable at first, and there were quite a few complaints among the troops.
At the critical moment, Shao Shude personally took charge of the Tianxiong Army camp and suppressed the commotion.
"You cry for father and mother when you practice hard. Are you still a martial artist?" Shao Shude slapped a leader of the Heyuan Army on the ear and neck, and laughed and cursed: "I personally assigned the name of the Heyuan Army to commemorate the recovery of Shan.
Kuo Erzhou, you guys have also been to Qingtang, how come you got so wild there?"
The team leader smiled and said no more.
"And you!" Shao Shude pointed at a powerful officer and said, "You look familiar."
"Your Majesty has good eyesight. I am from Yanzhou, and I used to be a personal soldier of Jiedushi Li Shuai. I followed him from a distance and saw your Majesty several times." The officer said in surprise.
"Oh? Have you ever beaten Huang Chao?" Shao Shude said in surprise.
"We fought with Meng Kai, but the battle was unfavorable, and he retreated to Gaoling. Later, in the battle of Shengaoyi, the king personally led the army, broke the nest of thieves, chased them north, and drove them straight into the Wei River."
"It happened twenty years ago. It's good that you are still here." Shao Shude patted the officer's shoulder, personally took off his cloak and hung it on him, then took off his sword and handed it to him, saying: "Tonight the entire army
Dayou, you come to me and you won’t stop until you’re drunk.”
"Yes." The officer was a little excited.
Shao Shude passed through the camp one by one, patted this person on the shoulder, helped the other person organize his quiver, and finally said: "I am over forty years old. Have I ever complained about the hardships in the past few days of training with the army?"
"No." A group of people said in unison.
"I can continue practicing, why are you talking nonsense? You are as dumb as a woman, get out and practice hard." Shao Shude said seductively.
Everyone left one after another as if they had been granted amnesty. Judging from their faces, they did not appear to be full of resentment.
"Only the king can suppress this group of arrogant and powerful generals." Chen Cheng walked over quietly and said with a smile.
"Chen Changshi speaks carefully." Shao Shude blinked and joked: "Don't let them know that the sergeants in the outer towns are not as hard trained as our Tianxiong Army. If they know, the atmosphere will become bad."
Chen Cheng laughed.
However, he also knew that King Xia paid special attention to the military atmosphere and kept strict control, for fear that his soldiers would become the domineering sergeants like Hebei. The Liang army's military atmosphere was acceptable and could still be used. If other prisoners were captured in the future,
Is it possible that all the soldiers in the feudal town should be dismissed?
"Your Majesty, there is news from Yanbei." After saying that, Chen Cheng handed over the military report sent by Li Hongren.
Shao Shude looked at it and asked, "What do you think?"
"Being able to attract the Jin army to move north is a great achievement in itself, so why be greedy anymore," Chen Cheng replied.
"It's a pity that Yang Yue doesn't understand this truth." Shao Shude laughed.
"It's not necessarily that I don't understand, it's just that I'm not willing to accept it."
"There is nothing to be unwilling to do. Sooner or later I have to deal with the Khitan, but not now." After thinking about it, Shao Shude said: "You can draft a military order. I will use the seal and let Yang Yue keep some. Besides, sworn brother, this
This time it was done in a decent manner, and no news was leaked out. Investigate it quickly, I won't believe there is no news."
