Chapter 516. Doing things and being done things
If you are a good assassin in the era of peace, you can farm, and someone like Wang Hou who can attract investment is already a super level of play, but in troubled times, this ability is not enough, you must be able to do things, or how Liu Yu died.
Especially Wang Hou wants to be more than a state pastor, he also wants to be the Great Khan of the grassland! Looking at the past generations of grassland heroes, Maodun, Bangdun, Kebineng, Yelu Abaoji, Wanyan Aguda, and then to the later generation of Tianjiao Genghis Khan, which one can not take the younger brother out to fight
Especially during this time, he let Yu Wenhong enter the sect again, and he showed off his wealth in a high-profile manner, which can be said to be in the limelight, which caused a commotion in the hearts of the Wuhuan tribe, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.
The good thing is to promote the prestige of the Han people, attracting them to be more yearning for naturalization in the Han Empire, but the bad thing is also arousing their desire to yearn for, if they don't give a way to promotion, the younger brothers are easy to be dissatisfied and rebel, then it is better to follow the old system of the Han Empire.
Therefore, on the day of autumn and fattening, we must engage in something to go to war!
I have to admit it! Although the nomads in the north have brought great harm to the Central Plains, it is really majestic to be a great khan! After getting an order from Wang Hou and summoning all the departments, in two days, Wuhuan of the three counties, which only had 450,000 people left, made up 15,000 cavalry, plus the original Yuwen cavalry, Black Mountain cavalry, Qingzhou cavalry, just cavalry, Wang Hou had more than 27,000, and he was really not so rich.
And not only the cavalry, all the way to the north, in two years, the seeds sown by Wang Hou also grew fruit, and he was accepted all the way into the army.
The two newly built brigades in Liaodong, the first Liaodong Reinforced Brigade and the Second Jinzhou Reinforced Brigade, have basically grown, and the four cavalry regiments have been removed, and there are two 13,000-strong infantry in the two divisions, which control the Wuhuan horse-producing land, and there are also war horses to pull equipment, even in terms of configuration, he has almost reached the level of the main force of the Tang Dynasty.
In terms of reserves, Zhang Yan's Montenegrin Army provided 20,000 Tuntian infantry, and in addition to that, he recruited an additional 5,000 servants.
In the early stage in Lianjiao City, after winning the battle against Murong Xianbei, he thought that Mao had Han nomadism, in the vicinity of Jinzhou, Wang Hou was a continuous feudal feud of dozens of county men, this part of the people did not support them to grow into a family in vain, for Wang Hou, the feudal lord, these people also have the obligation to provide military service, a recruitment, five thousand militia to hand.
Although the combat effectiveness of this part of the people is probably really average, they can fight miscellaneous to maintain the safety of the rear road, and the combat power of individual soldiers is far greater than that of ordinary militiamen and bandits.
When Wang Hou arrived near Ma'anshan, his troops had reached more than 80,000, and he had never been so rich!
Gathered so many troops, of course, it was not that Wang Hou had too much food and no place to eat, and the goal of this war was directly aimed at Wang Hou's last opponent in Liaodong, Xiangping City of the Gongsun clan!
Although most of Liaodong County was lost, in fact, there was still a lot of remaining territory of the Gongsun family, to the north, including Shenyang, Fushun, Liaoyang, Tieling, including Xuansu County, which was the main channel for the ethnic minorities in the Northeast to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty, and it was also an area where Han people gathered exceptionally more in the four counties of the Han Dynasty and cultivated land was particularly developed.
Then to the east, Lelang County, and Daifang County are all located on the Korean Peninsula, which is equivalent to the Beixinyue half region before Wang Hou crossed, and later generations of the Nanbang Kingdom still shouted at them in the textbooks every day that they were in the Great Goryeo, thinking that the entire universe was theirs in ancient times, but they didn't know that even their peninsula and ancestors were from the Han Empire!
is still the same as before, the shameless lord of the king didn't even say hello, and he took a little brother and scolded him directly.
…………
Although there are local climates, but in the agricultural era, the general environment is almost the same, and the corn cultivated in the fields in Xuanfu Fengcheng County is almost harvested, and the procedure is similar to that of Jinzhou City.
On the threshing floor in the middle of the village, the ears of grain cut were spread on the ground full, and groups of farmers with nunchucks were there humming and waving and knocking on the pile of grain.
But at this moment, a burst of rapid horses' hooves suddenly sounded from the horizon, and in the crackling shock, the black-pressed cavalry instantly emerged from the horizon that had been harvested, brandishing a scimitar made of stainless steel, and appeared hideously in the eyes of the Xuansu farmers who were busy harvesting reserves.
In an instant, the joy of the autumn harvest was instantly shattered, and the entire village and fort were in chaos, but it has to be mentioned that the Han people in Fengcheng County were much stronger and more tenacious than the Han people in Jinzhou, the men carried hunting bows and roared up the wall, and the women and children were crying and shouting, holding the hard-earned grain and stuffing it back into the granary.
Unfortunately, all this was in vain, the whole village was only three or four hundred villagers, but the attacking cavalry was full of thousands, facing the breastwork that was only half a man high with an overwhelming rain of arrows, the weak resistance on the wall had been crushed, the fierce cavalry on the grassland shook the rope sleeve and threw it on the crooked broken wooden stake by the two gates, clamping the horse stool and pumping the horse's buttocks, the horse neighed and ripped off the door panel, and the cavalry entered the fort like a fish rushing out of the gap.
Watching the battle with a telescope in the back, Wang Hou's expression was extraordinarily solemn.
Xianbei people have begun to equip straw rope stirrups, the technology of stirrups has actually been invented by the grassland peoples, nomads and farming peoples have also begun to slowly tilt from the initial Han and Wuhu, the skills required by the cavalry have declined, and the herdsmen living on horseback on the grassland are more and more able to fight, and the Central Plains are becoming more and more dangerous in the face of the grassland.
So Wang Hou felt that he had this responsibility to solve the great threat of the grassland on the eve of the sunset when the balance of military power was about to change dramatically.
Just when Wang Hou felt that his shoulders were heavy, suddenly the cavalry he was rushing into the Zhuangzi to control the traffic road was suddenly attacked, no wonder Zhou Dong wanted to sing fast and use nunchucks in later generations, this thing is really useful! Suddenly, in the narrow alleyway, a series of flails came out fiercely, and the horses stood up in shock, and with a snort, the cavalry on the horse was knocked down with a grunt.
But looking at this scene, Wang Hou was not too distressed, because it was the baron and the Wuhuan tribe on the grassland that were sent out to rob the village, not his soldiers, and there was no need to compensate for the dead and injured.
"Unlucky guy!"
It's really called the world newspaper, and after a few seconds of gloating, Wang Hou couldn't laugh! The smile froze on his face, his eyes straightened, and then his mouth was crooked, and when the young soldier who had been beaten with a pair of truncated sticks and his helmet fell off, he finally stood up, and the dignified general Zhenbei was also angry like a madman, baring his teeth and roaring.
"Guards, strike now! Invite Cao Sangongzi back!! ”
Timo's was by his brother-in-law Cao Zhang!
