"You mean, the situation in Shanggu is out of control now, and the barbarians are really going to retreat?" Li Shiyi frowned.
The post-war sorting out work was in progress. The main task of his group was not to conduct reconnaissance, let alone engage in combat, but to try to get in touch with Habayashi and Hayate.
If the Hu people were not too cruel, this battle would not have happened. Although Li Shiyi was a direct descendant of Wang Yu, his character was far less domineering than Wang Yu, and was somewhat similar to Yu Jin.
Nowadays, the situation is similar everywhere in Shanggu and Daijun. If they interfere every time, even if they don't consider how many people will be left in the end, the task will definitely not be completed.
Although this battle was a great victory, one person was still killed on the spot, and another was seriously injured. It is possible that he can survive. If it can be sent back to Jixian in time and treated by Hua Tuo and Zhang Ning, it should not be a big problem, but now...
…
Li Shiyi shook his head and secretly cursed himself for being too impulsive. Several other people were more or less injured. Only the sniper Huang Ze, who had been protected by everyone, was unscathed.
The quality of the scout team in small-scale battles is comparable to that of the Hidden Mist Army, and this is what they specialize in. The bait and ambush formation that Hu Qi leader thinks is brilliant, in Li Shiyi's opinion, is no better than that of a child.
The tricks are pretty much the same.
After the hand-to-hand combat started, Hu Qi, who rushed up in a swarm, never expected that in such a small battle, the Han army's formation actually combined both near and far, with tactics and formations!
Huang Ze walked among the battle groups holding a bow. Under a carved bow, at least five lives of the Hu people were lost! The Han army was able to outnumber the enemy and finally won a great victory. The effect of the formation and tactics was absolutely indispensable.
without.
It didn't take long to count the losses and clean up the battlefield. Li Shiyi never forgot the duty of a scout. It was not about fighting, but about collecting intelligence. Although the Hu people had no survivors, they could still get some valuable things from the refugees.
The person responsible for contacting the refugees is Huang Ze. In addition to his superb archery skills, Huang Zhong's disciple also has good coordination skills. Because of his handsome appearance, he is also very friendly.
At this moment, he was telling Li Shiyi the information he had inquired about: "The plan to coerce the Han people out of the customs was planned before the war started. At that time, Xian Yufu and others spread the news in various places, saying that the lord hated the Hu people.
Anyone with Hu ancestry will be eliminated, so..."
"Is that why the people in Youzhou are so hostile to our army, but instead provide a lot of support to the Xianbei people?"
"Exactly." Huang Ze nodded and continued: "After the Juyong Battle, the Xianbei people felt that the situation was favorable. They made plans to settle down, so the plan was shelved. Recently, our army has won consecutive battles and received good news... Right
The news that General Zilong rushed to attack Danhanshan and General Wenze's troops marched out of Feihu Road and defeated Qianman's tribe at Ma Tiliang has been confirmed..."
"No wonder the Hu people suddenly went crazy and attacked Juyong City fiercely. At the same time, they made half of Youzhou angry and resentful. Sure enough, there is some reason." Li Shiyi nodded slightly and confirmed this information. The Hu people were a little uncomfortable before.
Natural behavior becomes easy to understand.
The Flying Fox Road is not a natural passage. It is a road that the diligent and intelligent Chinese people gradually opened up after discovering this gap in the Taihang Mountains and using the original direction and shape of the natural canyon river to dig and repair it.
Ma Tiliang is a dangerous place where the north exit of Feihu Road is located. Although Li Shiyi still doesn't know how the battle between Yu Jin and Qian Man started from Lingqiu and Guangchang all the way to the north exit, there is no doubt that Yu Jin
After the main force arrived, the battle on Feihu Road had been completely reversed, and the encirclement and annihilation network constructed by Wang Yu was ready to be launched.
The Xianbei people have been arrogant for so long, but in the end they still don't have the guts to engage in a main battle with the Qingzhou Army. Of course they are anxious now.
"Xian Yufu and others originally told the border residents that it was all voluntary to stay or go. Although everyone has been tortured by the barbarians these days, they thought that these beasts would leave soon and had nowhere to escape, so they endured it.
, there are also people who donate food and information to the Hu people... Several groups of brothers who were released from seclusion were lost in the hands of these scum."
There was deep resentment in Huang Ze's tone. The Han army scout was betrayed by his own people and died under the sword of Hu Lu. There is no more unpleasant news than this. With hatred, he looked at the man who was killed before.
The woman's eyes no longer had pity, but instead had a hint of sarcasm: "That woman..."
He snorted coldly: "That's what her man did in the first place. They thought they would be safe. But in the end, they didn't understand at all. Hu Lu is not a human being, at least he cannot be measured by human principles. When there are benefits, they
He can be very enthusiastic and generous, but when there is no point in turning against him, he doesn't remember the kindness of the past. Otherwise, he is a barbarian. He is better than raising a dog if he is good to them."
"Forget it." Li Shiyi glanced at his fingers and then waved his hand.
The woman was wrapped in his cloak and she was leaning against a dead tree. She looked like a dead person, her eyes were empty and lifeless. If her body hadn't been slightly trembling, some people would have believed her even if she was a dead person.
"They are already in such a predicament. They must also know that they are wrong. As ordinary people, they are like grass and grass, struggling to survive in troubled times. They have many options. In times of crisis, no one protects them. How can we blame them for unscrupulous means?
Brother Huang, don’t be too scolding."
"Yes." Huang Ze responded dully, his anger was not gone, but he felt calmer.
Indeed, if someone from Qingzhou did this, they would be directly denounced as a wolf-hearted person. It would not be an exaggeration to punish everyone if they find it. The lord treats everyone with the courtesy of a national scholar. Even if not everyone can repay him as a national scholar, it is not unreasonable.
They turned against each other! But the people of Youzhou...
If you haven't been to Youzhou, you won't know how miserable they are.
On the one hand, he has to endure the oppression of the government. Liu Yu has a reputation of loving the people, but the 'people' he loves are not ordinary people, but powerful families. Although Youzhou is far away from the frontier, the system is the same as other places in the Han Dynasty, and the right of public opinion is
They are all in the hands of powerful families. As long as they are treated with mercy, public opinion will always be biased towards those in power.
That's why the reputation of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was so bad. He was an emperor who tried to take advantage of powerful families by selling his official positions and getting titles. How could his reputation not be so bad?
Therefore, although the grassroots people in Youzhou have a great master Qingtian, their life is still very miserable. Moreover, the threats they face are not just this. After the border troops were disbanded, the barbarians who invaded every year became a lingering problem.
Go to nightmare.
Although Gongsun Zan, the white-horse general, was non-stop conquering the east and west, Youzhou was so big and Gongsun Zan only had so few soldiers, so Gu Dong couldn't care about the west. Later, he went to Jizhou to fight for the world, and the people of Youzhou could still have something to do.
What hope?
Of course, there are those who are familiar with Hu people, such as Liu Yu, who just want to gain power, and Yan Rou, who has been a slave for a long time. There are Stockholm syndrome attacks and people who are naturally close to Hu people, but there are also many people who are forced to do so.
Reluctantly, she was forced by the world and the court to become a prostitute and went to Tonghu.
Obviously, this is the case for this couple.
When the Hu people realized that the situation had taken a turn for the worse and began to plan for themselves, they did not hesitate to abandon these poor people and dispose of them as property and livestock.
The stories and truths behind these blood and tears are truly thought-provoking.
"Okay. Stop thinking about it. Brother Huang, you don't plan to go to the academy to teach. What are you doing to ponder these great principles for educating the world? Write down these things for the time being and report them to Cai Zhonglang later. Let him figure out how to summarize the principles and declare them.
Let’s go to the public.”
Seeing that the atmosphere became a little dull, Li Shiyi patted his young colleague on the shoulder. He laughed loudly and said: "According to the original plan, we will separate here. Brother Mu went to Macheng to find General Zilong, and Brother Huang went south with a certain person to Hewen.
Then the generals gathered together and the injured brothers rushed back to Jixian to report the situation here to the lord..."
"What should we do with these people?" Mu Wang heard the sound and came over. After listening, he pointed at the dark crowd and asked.
"There are only seven of us. We have a mission and we have to take care of the injured brothers..." Li Shiyi's voice became lower and lower as he spoke. There were wild horses wandering around everywhere. If we left it alone, these people would have nowhere to escape.
After being caught, he might be retaliated for today's battle, which would be very miserable.
But, what can he do? He is just a scout captain and a small school captain. His martial arts and resourcefulness are only average, so how can he have the ability to turn things around?
He shook his head and sighed: "Leave as many weapons as possible for them, as well as the barbarians' horses, and let them seek their own happiness."
The scouts were all silent.
It's useless to leave them with weapons. A few hundred people scattered in a desert will be dead if they encounter a dozen Huqi. Unless they can find a place like a fortress to stay, in which case they will have more soldiers and more.
The enemy has the ability to fight, but at this juncture, where can we find such a place?
"I'll stay!" Huang Ze said suddenly.
"Are you staying?" Li Shiyi was startled.
"I'll stay!" Huang Ze nodded affirmatively and said in a deep voice: "It's not that the border people don't have the courage to fight against the Hu people, it's just that no one organized them. Didn't General Ziyi do the same thing in Qinghe? I did the same.
Want to try it."
"But..." Li Shiyi was worried. Fighting behind enemy lines was not a light job. Even with Taishi Ci's bravery, he had a narrow escape, all thanks to Zhao Yun's timely arrival. Although Huang Ze also had some skills, he was not as good as Taishi Ci.
There is still a huge difference, not to mention that the opponents they face are also different. Hu Qi's mobility is much better than that of Zhang Yang, and Cao Ren's army is much higher.
"It doesn't matter. Unlike General Ziyi, I only focus on rescuing people and avoiding the enemy. I won't confront Hu Qi. It's not that dangerous. Besides, Hu Qi is preparing to retreat. It's impossible to spend too much effort on me.
We don’t have that much time… Even though Qingzhou is not under my jurisdiction, it is still a subject of the Han family, so we can’t just ignore it, right?”
"Forget it, then you should pay more attention to it." Li Shiyi thought about it and realized that this was also a way. Anyway, Yu Jin had almost entered Dai County. This place was near Pan County, so Huang Ze did not have to hold on for too long.
His uncle Huang Zhong was a man who upheld benevolence and righteousness. Huang Ze's archery skills and beliefs were passed down from generation to generation. It was indeed impossible for him to abandon these refugees and go on his own.
"Take care!" Huang Ze clasped his fists and said goodbye, put the big bow on his back, turned around and walked towards the crowd.
Li Shiyi and others stared at his back for a moment, then turned around and prepared to set off to complete their mission. At this moment, the woman who had been sitting blankly suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed Mu Wang's cloak, screaming
He shouted: "You can't... go, you can't go! There... is a trap in Danhan Mountain!" (To be continued...)
