Chapter 89: The War Begins
How is it outside, for Zou Yu and them, it has no impact, everything is in an orderly manner according to their own rhythm, managing Sanzhou, until after Fang Xuanling took over, Zou Yu really understood the gap, all government affairs, in his hands, can be quickly arranged, the ten errands specially prepared for him, keep passing on all kinds of orders, there are few things that Zou Yu needs to worry about.
In the three states of Liaodong, there are still some people who are literate, Goguryeo does not have its own writing, although the language is not very clear, but the learning is still Chinese characters, even if there are few literate people, there are some, so Fang Xuanling suggested open recruitment, even if he can't take on the big responsibility, there is no problem to be a small official.
The spring of the thirteenth year of the great cause! The General of Zhengdong ordered the recruitment of literate people as officials, as long as they understood a little, there were many followers for a while, and after half a month of selection, they finally got 121 people.
On the third day of the third month of March, the Shangsi Festival, the will of the Central Plains Imperial Court, after hundreds of years, was once again passed to the Han people in Liaodong.
The holy decree of Zou Yu was propagated, which greatly inspired people's hearts, and the opening of the palace with the three divisions, the Marquis of Fuyu, and the general manager of the marching army, proved the correctness of Zou Yu's rule, and the name was correct and smooth, don't underestimate this, whether it is the people or officials, for the legitimacy, it is very important, the emperor is also called the Son of Heaven, is the son of heaven, on behalf of the herdsmen, for many years the people are convinced of this.
The emperor is the true dragon son of heaven, and a good emperor will make the common people think that it is a real dragon descending to earth, and will bring good luck to the country. The long-term rule of the emperor and the imperial power was condensed into a secular religious consciousness of reverence for the emperor, people always wanted a "good emperor" to rely on to save all beings, and the peasant war also tried to replace the "tyrant" with a "Ming monarch".
Therefore, for the appointment of the emperor, the people will subconsciously think that this is the mandate of heaven and the most correct thing, and Goguryeo, Khitan, Xi people, etc., have all respected the Central Plains as the suzerain, so they will also agree with the summons issued by the Central Plains Emperor.
For this reason, the three states of Liaodong celebrated fiercely, and the benefits were obvious, the newly conquered people quickly joined the people, and the people under the previous rule had a stronger sense of belonging, and they were more proud of their identity, as if this was really recognized by the Central Plains, and at the same time, they also firmly believed that they and the people of the Central Plains belonged to the same ancestor ——— Pangu.
April 16, 13th year of the Great Cause! Good luck! Sacrifice is appropriate!
Two miles outside the city of Liaodong! In front of a small dirt slope thirty or forty meters high!
White sails! Tens of thousands of people stood solemnly in front of the hillside, and there was a zhangliu stone tablet under the hillside, and the front was written in Liaodong, Yongzhen! The back is written that the heroic soul is immortal and immortal! Twelve big characters.
This was originally the Gyeongguan temple established by Goguryeo! The so-called Jingguan is a high mound made of showing off martial arts, gathering enemy corpses, and sealing the soil. There are nearly 300,000 Central Plains soldiers buried below, and after Zou Yu laid down Liaodong City, he let people repair this place, erect monuments, and build altars.
Originally, the best thing was to transport the bones back to the Central Plains, but now that Liaodong City has been occupied by Zou Yu, it is equivalent to returning to the roots.
For this reason, Zou Yu deliberately put another small mountain nearby, together as a warrior cemetery, the soldiers who died in the future will be buried here for future generations to worship, and the government will also come to worship during the New Year's Festival.
Regard death as life, no matter which nationality, have this concept, so attach great importance to the belonging after death, a family may die, and the descendants may have unfilial descendants, but there is an official government, which can ensure that their incense continues, so this initiative has been supported by everyone.
Today's worship, one is to pray for heaven and earth, this place will belong to the Chinese territory for all eternity, the soldiers have returned to their hometown, in order to comfort the souls in the sky, and the other is to pray for the smooth war, to bless the soldiers and comfort.
Although this is just a sacrificial event, it has a very powerful comforting effect on people's hearts, at least increasing confidence and peace of mind.
The sacrificial activities, with Fang Xuanling's high-pitched "The soul returns!" When Gao Cao arrived, tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison.
"The Soul is back!"
This is a conjuring spirit, thinking that the heroic souls of 300,000 soldiers have been recalled to witness the sacrifice and protect themselves.
After Zou Yu led everyone to bend down to worship, the sacrifice was over, and tens of thousands of soldiers began to rush to all sides to meet the coming war.
Goguryeo's movements have always been watched, but on the contrary, because of the blockade of Liu Renliang, Goguryeo's eyes are black.
Even under such circumstances, Goguryeo still sent troops, and the attack on Anshi City came first, and Goguryeo on the front line of Jian'an gathered 50,000 horses, and came to Anshi outside the city with great fanfare, making a posture of large-scale attack.
Of course, Li Keshi understood that this was just a ploy of Goguryeo, intending to attract a large army to come over for reinforcements, since he saw it, of course he would not be fooled, and besides, there were 5,000 foot soldiers, plus 5,000 people, guarding a city built around a mountain, absolutely not in a short time, not to mention that there were strong bows and crossbows, and plenty of rolling wood and thunder stones.
Li Keshi not only did not increase his troops, but hid the shadow of the cavalry, and did not let the Goguryeo people notice any trace at all. The general of the Goguryeo army was the two sons of Ulji Wende, Ulji Yunwen and Ulji Yunwu.
The two brothers were trained very well by Yizhi Wende, as their name suggests, Yunwen Yunwu, this time the division was led by their two brothers, and the main purpose was to attract the main force of Liaodong City.
The next day he began to try to attack the city, wanting to put pressure on Anshicheng and force Anshicheng to ask for reinforcements and troops.
Yizhi Yunwen lined up, Yizhi Yunwu led the troops, surrounded three and one, and tried to attack in a loose formation.
The generals are divided into fierce generals, wise generals, fierce generals lead the troops to charge, the battlefield is unparalleled, the command of the wise generals is determined, in the face of thousands of troops, the face does not change, and the general commanders are wise generals.
There are two kinds of fierce generals, one is brave but does not know how to command on a large scale, leading the charge is a good hand, and it is somewhat difficult to command, this kind of general can only lead one branch of the army, and charge and fight alone, which can be said to be a reckless general; The other kind is not only brave, but also can lead troops, coordinate different situations, and target operations, this kind of fierce general is between the commander and the reckless general, and can be the commander of the troops and horses all the way.
Although Qin Qiong is not a master of using troops like a god like Han Xin, and the arrangement of troops is not as good as Li Keshi and Su Dingfang, he is not weak, but he is not as conspicuous as others, and many times his command ability is covered by personal force.
In the face of Goguryeo's temptation, Qin Qiong was calm and calm, and repelled lightly, not even using crossbow arrows.
