One thousand one hundred and twenty-five "revenge" for Lu Kai
Within a few days, news of LĂź Kai's death, the destruction of Buwei County, and the chaos in Yongchang County reached Dianchi.
After Le Jin learned about it, he sighed, a little sad about this matter.
He felt that Lu Kai was strictly innocent and should not die, but in this matter, he didn't say it, Fa Zheng said it, he couldn't help it.
Fa Zheng was very happy about this matter, and felt that he had completed the task, and he could let the Wei army use this excuse to send troops to attack Yongchang County.
"Okay, in this way, our army will have an excuse to level the entire Yongchang County, general, you can send troops, the reason is to avenge Lu Kai, and the name is justified."
The law is counting everything accurately, and there should be no flaws in the military operation and no place that can make people talk nonsense.
It can only be said that the interests of Guo and others have conflicted with the interests of local forces in all senses, and they are still irreconcilable.
In this case, I can only ask the local forces to die a little bit to satisfy the interests of Guo someone.
Now that the goal has been reached, troops can be dispatched.
Before sending troops, Le Jin asked Fazheng.
"In addition to a small number of Han people in Yongchang County, there are also a large number of tribal populations such as Fujian, Pu, Jiu, Nupu, Xuyue, and Shenzhi, and these people are millions, how are you going to deal with them?"
Fa Zheng smiled.
"How did Zhang Wenyuan deal with Shanyue, how can the general deal with these people, Zhang Wenyuan only had 60,000 soldiers and horses, and the general had 80,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Wenyuan can pacify a huge Yangzhou, can't the general even take a mere Yongchang County?"
Fa Zheng said this, which really made Lejin unhappy.
The relationship between Lejin and Zhang Liao has never been good.
The fact that Zhang Liao, a former enemy and a general who later defected to Guo Peng, was able to rise to such a high position in the Guo Wei regime was something that made many people unhappy.
But helplessly, people do have the ability.
Guo Peng admired him very much, gave him a high status and authority, let him take charge of himself, and gave him full trust.
Now among the generals of the Wei army, the highest status is naturally the relative general Cao Ren, this second person, I am afraid that it is Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun is not ranked second, because of insufficient military achievements.
Le Jin thought that he had followed Guo Peng for a longer time, and when Guo Peng had just served as the assassin of Qingzhou, he took refuge in Guo Peng, and fought endlessly all the way.
As a result, Zhang Liao was allowed to live later.
He is not forbidden, he can't swallow this breath, he is very unhappy.
Fa Zheng's statement really made Le Jin rise to the idea of competing with Zhang Liao, and he didn't bother with Lu Kai's affairs, his mind was full of duels with Zhang Liao.
"If you don't burn the entire Yongchang County happily, Le someone's twenty-year military career will be in vain!"
Lejin seems to have seen the burning Yongchang County.
"Don't don't, there are a lot of valuable places in Yongchang County, don't burn everywhere!"
Fa Zheng hurriedly stopped.
Yongchang County is very wealthy, rich in gold, gemstones, iron ore, fertile land, there are records that the bamboo growing here is one zhang high, which shows the fertility of the land here.
Moreover, the textile industry and printing and dyeing industry here are also quite developed, and the manufacturing level of bronze ware is also quite high.
Such a wealthy county in the border is qualified to make Guo people salivate, and the place where more than one million people live and nearly two million people must be much better developed than the other three counties, and there are not so many places to burn.
If you really want to talk about the burning places, they are probably some cottages, some guys who would rather die than surrender rather than submit to the Wei government, and they should be persecuted by the Wei army.
Those who do not surrender will naturally be wiped out by the fire.
The Wei army went all the way south, and there were still about four-fifths of the fierce fire oil tanks that had been stored for many years, and the reserves were very abundant.
On March 19 of the eighth year of Yande, Le Jin and Fa Zheng led 20,000 troops to Yunnan County in Yongchang County.
They easily took the county seat of Yunnan, killed a group of people who were in rebellion in the county seat of Yunnan, destroyed some military facilities around the county seat of Yunnan, gained a foothold in Yongchang County, and then divided their troops to capture Yeyu County and Evil Dragon County.
On March 23, Evil Dragon County was broken, and the Wei army began to further attack Bonan County, once Bonan County was breached, it would be able to advance into Buwei County.
On March 25, Yeyu County was broken, and the Wei army would continue to attack Bisu County and Wangtang County, and then march to Buwei County.
The two armies will meet in Buwei County.
Basically, after conquering Buwei County, the Han sphere of influence in the entire Yongchang County has been obtained, and the rest is the tribal settlement of those foreigners living in Yongchang County.
It has a certain civilization, has a certain social order and social class division, has rulers and the ruled, cooperates and trades with the Han forces around Buwei County, and sometimes there are some skirmishes and the like.
For this kind of tribe, the Wei Empire has already found a set of effective methods.
Defeated, destroyed the upper class, left the lower class, men worked as coolies, and women were integrated into the Han nationality as a whole to increase the population, so that they were assimilated and disappeared into the long river of history.
Whether it was the Southern Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, Karasuma, or Gaoguryi, Sanhan, etc., in Liaodong, they were all assimilated by the Wei Empire.
Not only can it increase the population, but it can also increase social construction, so that the Wei Empire's package of large projects has a large enough number of laborers, and the price is extremely low, and there is no need to worry about the civil unrest caused by overuse.
Because the people who used it were not the people of Wei at all, but the war slaves.
After knowing that there are more than one million foreigners hidden here, Guo was very happy, and felt that the southern and central sections of the main artery of Shu Dao also had a labor force that could be used on a large scale, and the development and construction of Nanzhong could also be well used in the future.
So no matter from which point of view, Yongchang County must be won.
Bonan County, Bisu County, and Wangtang County have all been messed up.
The local county magistrates and government officials fled to death, and the county seat was either occupied or empty, and the Wei army occupied the county seat without much effort, and then defeated the thieves who entered the county seat, and then swept around the city on a large scale.
After this wave of sweeps, the rebel forces around these counties were almost wiped out, and the rebels who had just gathered to wander around and loot were no match for the Wei army.
However, the local Han people regarded the Wei army as a life-saving benefactor and gathered around the Wei army, so that the Wei army quickly won the support of the local Han people.
At the end of March, Lejin commanded troops to Buwei County, defeated more than 10,000 rebel thieves in Yongchang County 20 miles north of Buwei County, beheaded 3,000, captured the enemy chieftain, beheaded him, and then advanced to Buwei County.
It's a pity that Buwei County was burned and looted, and it has become a ruin, Le Jin felt a deep pity, and then continued to march to further expel the rebel thieves of all ethnic groups after Lu Kai's death.
In the western and southern parts of Yongchang County, there is a large foreign population.
For example, the Min, Pu, Jiu, Nupu, Xuyue and other tribes, as well as some people from their own poisonous countries, also live in the south of Yongchang County, each with a population of more than 100,000 or hundreds of thousands.
Most of these places are deep in the mountains and old forests, and they are the settlements of these foreign populations.
They have their own civilization and production, and in peacetime they will use their own specialties to trade with the Han people around Buwei County, and they will also pay a certain tribute for peace.
However, during the war, everyone turned into bandits, looting everywhere, burning, killing and looting.
On the whole, it is also quite chaotic, with all parties intertwined, and there is no common speaker.
