Chapter 233: Help
Under the city of Hezhou in the distance, the drums shook the sky.
The Qi army camps were next to each other, and the banners of the Shenwei army were flying high.
There is an osmanthus tree on the barrier platform formed by a steep boulder on a hill more than 20 miles to the south, and Lu Ning is sitting under this not too big osmanthus tree, whistling leisurely.
Under the hills, the He River meanders by, like a shining silver belt.
In the dense forests on both sides, because they are far away, even with Lu Ning's eyesight, if you don't look carefully, you can't see the Red Tiger sergeants who are wrapped in the "ambush armor" hidden in the dense forest.
There are two kinds of "ambush armor", in fact, it is two kinds of linen cloth similar to camouflage color, in the war of pacifying the ghost barbarians to annihilate the cannibal barbarians, the ambush armor once shined, and now the ambush armor used by the Red Tiger soldiers is another, mainly green, used when lurking in the jungle rainforest.
Encircled the point to send reinforcements, Lu Ning originally wanted to use it in Guizhou.
After all, Guizhou has a developed economy and a large population, and it is the second place of the Southern Han Dynasty to the capital Guangzhou Xingwangfu, if the troops are besieged in Guizhou but not attacked, the Southern Han Dynasty will inevitably rush to help, and because of the long distance, it will be easier to annihilate.
But I didn't want to, the "Great Emperor" just issued an edict to reprimand the ten crimes of the puppet lord of the Southern Han Dynasty, such as arrogating the emperor, encroaching on the old land of Ma Chu, not being punished by the palace, not being a doctor, unheard of in ancient times, etc., Chen Shouzhong, the assassin of Guizhou in the Han Kingdom, and Wu Yanrou, the envoy from the north, immediately asked to surrender.
Lu Ning had no choice but to change the siege of Hezhou, and under the city of Hezhou, it seemed that the army and horses were in camp, but in fact it was just a bluff and did not force it, so as not to accidentally force Hezhou to surrender.
The surrender of Guizhou was handled by Yongzhou General Ma Fu and hundreds of Yongzhou soldiers.
The Hunan battalion did not move in Changsha, but made a gesture of going south.
The Hunan battalion, stationed in the area close to the Southern Tang Dynasty under the jurisdiction of Changsha Prefecture, entered the Southern Tang Dynasty dozens of miles to the east, and the Shenwu Army stationed in Wuhan Mansion was the main military force that oppressed the Northeast Prefecture of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Now in the conquest of the Southern Han Dynasty, Lu Ning did not use the Hunan battalion, first, to prevent the Tang lord Li Jingsui from jumping over the wall and dying and struggling; Second, the Hunan army went south, and the labor force mobilized the people, while the Lingnan army used too many people, and the effect may not be better.
In fact, theoretically speaking, only 10,000 soldiers and horses were mobilized to climb the mountains and cross the mountains to conquer the south, and the accompanying manpower and material resources that needed to be mobilized were also a very staggering figure.
However, the General Institute of Literature is good at making use of local resources, as today, almost all of the heavy people who serve for the Shenwei Army and the Red Tiger Army are barbarians from Wuling, and they are already good at trekking through mountains and rivers, which is much easier to use than requisitioning Hunan Dao people.
Feng Yanlu has always admired this.
Two years ago, the General Institute of Culture planted good roots here, and now, it has borne good fruits.
Of course, the strong deterrent power of the Qi army led by General Baihu is also one of the important reasons for the current barbarian annexation.
Let's just say that the one hundred and twenty-five villages that have just been attached, one hundred and twenty-five leaders have been required to accompany the army, including those who did not participate in the Gongcheng Conference, needless to say, to this day, they have not been put back in the village, and the leaders who did not participate in the Gongcheng Conference have to come hard.
The General Court of Literature is obviously coercing hostages, but because the Dupangling Zhuzhai implemented a new policy two years ago, the serfs turned over, and the news has long spread throughout Wuling.
Now General Baihu is implementing the new policy of the Son of Heaven in one hundred and twenty-five villages, and the leaders are not there, but these villages have gradually gained some new atmosphere.
Therefore, the fact that these leaders were held hostage by the General Academy of Literature and Culture is simply a few in one fell swoop.
Of course, there will be resentment in the hearts of many leaders, but the legend that General White Tiger set foot on the burning barbarian overnight made them dare not move lightly.
And once there is any mistake in the war with the Southern Han, these leaders will inevitably echo the rebellion.
The war was lost, and the current actions of the General Academy naturally became extremely stupid.
But Feng Yanlu felt that the General Institute of Culture naturally had strong confidence, and there must be a backhand for the setbacks of the war, and he had known this General Institute of Culture for more than two years, and he had also served as a staff member of the General Institute of Culture, Feng Yanlu thought that he had a certain understanding of this slightly mysterious General Institute of Culture.
Now, sitting far away under the high post, looking up at the cliff boulder, looking from below, you can't see the figure above, Feng Yanlu wiped the sweat on his forehead, but he was a little nervous, and that Wen Zongyuan didn't have a sense of oppression before the big war at all.
The boulder is steep and high, ordinary people can't go up at all, and they don't know how the Wenzong Yuan climbed up, there should be a better overlook of the overall situation, when the Han army reinforcements come, the Wenzong Yuan can be seen from a distance.
Wen Zongyuan has a deep understanding of astronomy and geography, he said that looking at the geography here, the reinforcements from the north of the Han Kingdom will land here, then eight or nine will not leave ten, but I don't know how many days to wait.
Touching the Qidi insect repellent oil applied on his neck and face, Feng Yanlu admired in his heart, although it is spring now, there are already many mosquitoes in this mountain and dense forest, fortunately, there is also this magical oil, so that those annoying mosquitoes will not be harassed easily.
I also think that the General Institute of Literature must be very comfortable now, the wall is thousands of miles, he is on it, mosquitoes will definitely not be able to fly up, there should be no need to apply oil on the body, the General Institute of Literature is invincible, but the life is pampered, I want to come to the hill, but also to avoid mosquitoes, after all, the oil on the body, the smell is too strong.
Feng Yanlu looked at the short and stubby woman named Mi Zhu beside him, the leader of the Red Tiger Army and the head of the Great Emperor's slave department.
There is some helplessness in my heart, now a small number of soldiers of the Shenwei Army bluff to besiege the city, most of them and the Red Tiger Army set up an ambush here, the General Court of Culture should have been in a distant place, and the coordination of the two armies to fight is, after all, with the Holy Son of Heaven reprimanded the Han puppet lord of the text to Fuchuan Town, there is also the general court of the embassy above the General Academy of Wen, leading the edict of Shenwei and the Red Tiger Army to attack Lingnan, the former deputy envoy of the Shenwei Army, Feng Jing, was promoted to the commander of the Shenwei Army.
But on the contrary, the General Academy of Literature likes to experience the battle in person, and brought himself here, mainly to communicate with the 125 village leaders after the war, and the 125 village leaders are now in the Shenwei Army barracks in front of Hezhou City, as the leader of the baggage people, and many baggage people, pretending to be Qi soldiers.
Obviously, the Wen Zongyuan wanted them to see with their own eyes how vulnerable the Southern Han army was and how strong the Qi army was, so that they could further dispel the idea of resisting.
Suddenly, seeing Mi Zhu grinning at him, Feng Yanlu's heart twitched, since he had seen the virtue of the Lu Ya chief, Feng Yanlu didn't want to deal with these guys anymore, one by one, his brain was not normal.
This rice bead is the biggest of these barbarians, and when you think about it, her brain is also the most abnormal.
"That Chen family girl is good!" Mi Zhu licked her thick lips and smiled dryly, "Do you have a more handsome wife?" ”
Wife, it's these barbarians who call their wives, Feng Yanlu is helpless, I didn't give my wife to you, what kind of mess?
But naturally there was a smile on his face, "General Duwei, his humble wife is old and decrepit, where can she talk about being handsome?" ”
Mi Zhu is the commander of the Red Tiger Army and the former captain of the palace, the commander of the 5,000-person forbidden army of the Qi State, and is a four-rank martial artist.
Feng Yanlu's initial identity was only a staff member of the General Academy of Culture, and he served as the envoy of the embassy of the Xingwang Mansion in Guangzhou, and he was only an official of the sixth grade.
In terms of level alone, there is a big gap between the two, not to mention, Mi Zhu is still the head of the Shengtianzi slave department.
It was Feng Yanlu who didn't dare to offend Mi Zhu.
"Stingy!" Mi Zhu turned her head and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Feng Yanlu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
