Chapter 305: The Entlies of the Loop
Specifically, the narrative of the first wave of the Huns is very confusing.
The content doesn't have much logic, it's all based on their own impressions, where they want to talk about it, and then it takes a lot of work to piece it together.
Fortunately, there are soldiers who have experienced battles such as Yu Poison, who can figure out the main line and will not be disrupted by them.
However, the first round still determined that the Huns had no prior preparation for the Fire Ox Formation, and no one knew about this strategy. The other party secretly attacked some of the Xinxi Liang army, and they were encircled and annihilated by breaking away from their defense area.
In the second round, Zhang Ji, Yu Poison and others asked questions, according to the main line and events, one by one, asking about the order of occurrence.
This time the effect is remarkable, although the logic of these Huns is confused, but the general order can still be remembered, and after summarizing, it is highly consistent with the angle of Yu Poison and others.
Restore the whole situation and tell it completely. However, at this time, the version is that there are Han slaves as spies, offering advice and helping to lure the defenders.
As a result, all the Huns believed that the accounts of Zhang Ji and others were in line with their perspectives at the time, that the fire bull array was implemented suddenly, and that the Han defenders were lured away from the hills before they were divided and wiped out
Zhang Ji and Yu Poison glanced at each other and found that if it was a single slave owner who slandered the old slave, there would never be a situation in which the entire restoration situation was highly consistent in the eyes of both the enemy and us.
Yu Poison was furious and wanted to torture the old slave of the Han people, but Zhang Ji stopped, "There is no need to do this, we just need to take out the restored state of affairs to deter this person and see his reaction." ”
"If he lies, you reprimand him with all your might, and make him afraid. I logically point out his absurdity, break through his hypocritical words and his psychological defenses. ”
In a claustrophobic cell, the two asked the old slave surnamed He, and the whole questioning did not let him tell, but Zhang read the process of the situation and asked the old slave to point out what was wrong.
Zhang Jigang spoke for a short time, the old slave sweated in the cold, and said that someone sacrificed a fire ox to time, but before he said who did it, the old slave quibbled and said that he didn't see the fire, and it seemed that only the Huns drove the cattle and sheep forward.
Yu Poison was furious and shouted, "Bastard! You're lying! ”
The roar was deafening in the claustrophobic cell, and the old slave was so frightened that he hastened to explain without even thinking about it, perhaps because it had been too long, and he had misremembered.
Zhang looked at both ends of his head and knew that this was an act of covering up after the lie was exposed.
He showed a close attitude, sat down next to the old slave, and comforted, "Don't panic, our captain is the main general who intercepted and killed the Huns back then, he is trying to catch the real murderer and take revenge, and he is eager for a while, not to scare you." ”
When the old slave heard this, not only was he not relieved, but he was even more frightened, and under great psychological pressure, he told more lies and tried to cover up the situation of the spies seducing the defenders.
Even in the past year, he has seen Hu Ren in the market, and he flatly denied it, saying only that he went to buy things from Han people.
Zhang Ji was disdainful in his heart, in these temporary markets, the Han people all sold a little surplus of grain and handicraft products from Juntun and Mintun, and only the Hu people sold some things that the people of Tuntun usually did not have.
He is a Mintun citizen, how can he buy his surplus things? In order to hide something, his logic is completely confused.
Zhang Ji gave Yu Poison a look, and Yu Poison understood, and suddenly burst out, exposing all the lies he had just told while fighting. Completely from the two aspects of ** and psychology, tear up his last bit of defense.
The old slave could not defend himself, and had to admit that he had lied, but he would not say why, nor would he admit that he had done these things.
Zhang Ji finally said, "There is a detail just now, you may not have noticed, that is, the spy I was talking about, and it was not said that it was you at all." But you deny and lie at all key points, it's not your own weak heart, why? ”
It was generally confirmed that Zhang Ji and Yu Poison had the accomplices who tortured the old slave, and they soon identified the old slave as the old slave who had distracted them from the people and contacted the Huns. And privately, they also let them inquire about the location of the military cantonment and the situation of the outpost.
The water came out, and Yu Poison couldn't wait to skin this old slave alive. Zhang Ji stopped him and left them to Tong Yuan to send them personally.
When Zhang Ji and others were busy hoeing and raping, bribing and dividing the Huns, they temporarily let the departments that responded to the Xinxi Liang Army manage Shuofang and other places.
The Wuhuanalou tribe, located at the junction of the four counties of Shangjun, Shuofang, Xihe, and Wuyuan, has a very young tribal leader, but has always longed for a strong Han to rule them.
The Wuhuan people are somewhat similar to the Qiang people in terms of political power, only tribal adults, no unified state, and some traditions of matrilineal society, with a higher status of women inside.
Due to the location of living further south, and long-term battles with the Han opponents Xiongnu and Xianbei, they have taken the initiative to sinicize, and the economy is a combination of agriculture and animal husbandry, which is more similar to the Han people in Bingzhou.
This time, the building had already established a close cooperative relationship with the Xinxi Liang Army through the trade route, although it was temporarily afraid of the Huns' obscenity, but once there was an opportunity, it stabbed the Huns in the back.
Tuoba Xianbei in the northern part of Yinshan, also known as Xianbei Suotou, also established a cooperative relationship with the Xinxi Liang Army through trade routes.
During the period of Emperor Ling, under the conquest and development of Tanshi Huai, a unified and powerful regime once appeared.
However, after the death of Tanshi Huai, the Xianbei tribes were divided into four larger forces.
Among them, Tuoba Xianbei is the head of the rope, the bald Xianbei, the begging Xianbei and so on are divided into the western Xianbei tribes.
Among them, Tuoba Xianbei is more powerful, mainly developing in the north of Yinshan. The leader of their tribe, Tuoba Liwei, was twenty-four years old at this time, but he was young and old, and he also learned the customs of the Han people, hoping to join the Han Dynasty.
Tuoba Liwei is neither humble nor arrogant to the surrounding tribes, can be humble to learn from the elders in the tribe, receive business travelers from all walks of life as warm as friends, and have a yearning and cordial attitude towards the Han people.
Of course, Zhang Ji would not miss such an ally, with two friends with good strength, such as Nalou and Tuoba Liwei, and the Huns themselves were also disgusted with the Han, so this outpost battle was extremely smooth, and it ended in the recovery of Shuofang County beyond expectations.
Tong Yuan got the news and officially sent troops to Hetao in the spring of the third year of Jian'an to crusade against the remnants of the Xiongnu who took the initiative to make trouble, and at the same time let Dong Bai move to the imperial court to strive for the advantage of public opinion.
At the same time, Jia Kui, Sun Zi and others were arranged to lobby the well-known clans of Taiyuan County and let them cooperate with the imperial court to recover and annex the state.
When he planned to recover Wuyuan and Yunzhong counties from west to east, the Guo family and Wang family in Taiyuan and Yanmen could also obey the edict of the Son of Heaven, respond to Weiyang Jun and his rule, make the state completely stable, and revitalize under the leadership of the Xinxi Liang Army.
