Chapter 304: Recuperation (Part II)
"Take it all!"
Huang Zhong slapped the last Xianbei warrior who resisted with a sword, and commanded the soldiers beside him.
"Yes, Lord Lieutenant!"
Huang Zhong glanced at the Duan tribe that had turned into ruins, and his heart was full of emotion, at the end of last year, he had the intention to attack the Duan tribe to establish his power, but he met Geridoro halfway, and he could only retreat first in order to prevent being besieged and killed, but he didn't expect that he had just come here again at the beginning of spring this year, and he could only say that the Duan tribe should be like this!
After a while, Huang Zhong reined in his thoughts, and said, "Go and report to Captain Xu, saying that we are done here!" ”
"Yes, Lord Lieutenant!"
Although Huang Zhong is also a captain, he is the left captain, and Xu Rong is the right captain, which seems to be of the same rank, and he is also equal, but at the moment when the right is respected, Xu Rong's status is higher. Moreover, Huang Zhong is also deeply admired for Xu Rong's ability to command troops over the years, so he agrees with Xu Rong mainly this time, and has no objection. There is even a hint of joy!
Huang Zhong's martial arts are superb, and his marching and fighting are acceptable, but if you want to say how powerful it is, it is absolutely a lie.
When Xu Rong received the news, he happened to catch the last person from the Duan tribe who fled, and immediately said, "Inform Huang Duwei and let him take care of the people, and we will immediately set off for the west." ”
"Yes!"
The soldier who reported the message departed.
"Whew~" Xu Rong exhaled lightly and set his eyes to the west, where there was a tribe that was larger and more populous than the Duan tribe - the Toulu tribe!
The real name of the Toulu tribe is not Toulu, but Qiyan, Qiyan tribe, is the tribe where the father of Tanshihuai is located. Although the Hou of Toulu abandoned it when he was young, the Toulu tribe was the majority, and the Tanshi Huai could become the lord of Xianbei, so he naturally would not care, but because of this relationship, he took care of it, so the Toulu tribe grew stronger and stronger, and then became the majority of the monitoring section tribe.
Xu Rong didn't know these inside information, but the general situation of the Toulu tribe made him feel a little pressure-
The Toulu tribe, one of the most Xianbei tribes, has more than 20,000 people who control the strings, and the population of the tribe exceeds 100,000, which is much stronger than the Duan tribe, and it should be regarded as the fifth tribe in Xianbei in the east. In front of him were only a few tribes that had been famous for a long time.
"It's not difficult to break it, but it's hard not to be leaked!"
Xu Rong rubbed his head and felt a little painful.
This expedition, a total of 30,000 horses, is not a lot, but in the face of a population of more than 100,000 tribes, it is still a little reluctant, after all, except for the "people who control the strings", others are not powerless people, and they will also pick up the sword to resist.
However, Xu Rong thought seriously for a long time and had an idea, that is, to show weakness to the enemy!
Subsequently, Xu Rong asked Huang Zhong to lead 3,000 elites to attack the Toulu tribe. I have to say that Huang Zhong's martial arts are really high enough, even if there are only 3,000 people, he will turn the Toulu tribe upside down. Especially after several generals of the Toulu tribe stepped forward to stop them but were easily killed by them, the patriarch of the Toulu tribe was furious and personally attacked, but after only more than ten rounds of fighting, Xu Rong was impressed by Huang Zhong!
The patriarch was killed in a hurry, and Xu Rong took the opportunity to lead the troops to besiege him, leaving only a small number of men and horses to roam around the periphery to prevent news from leaking.
Xu Rong can only lead the troops in Liaodong, and even rank among the top few in this era, but if he underestimates his martial arts because of this, he can only go to the king of Hades to cry that he is blind, underestimates people, and wants to regret the medicine.
In this way, under the joint efforts of Xu Rong and Huang Zhong, the Toulu tribe was quickly suppressed, but the name of most of the Toulu tribe can be said to be worthy of the name.
Xu Rong didn't panic at all, it would take a while for the news to spread after these ran out. Taking advantage of this time, Xu Rong gave up the large tribes, divided into two routes with Huang Zhongbing, and attacked more than ten small and medium-sized tribes in five days, and once again captured no less than the Duan tribe and the Toulu tribe.
Then, Xu Rong took Huang Zhong as the rear army, and pressed 200,000 prisoners to retreat to Liaodong without hurry.
In this regard, Huang Zhong was very puzzled, if he wanted to retreat, shouldn't he speed up the retreat? Why slow? Soon, Huang Zhong understood.
When Tanshi Huai got the news, he immediately sent 10,000 horsemen, which was the most he could send in a short period of time, and then issued a royal order to gather the surrounding warriors.
The 10,000-strong army that set out first hurried and hurried to a few days after Xu Rong and Huang Zhong had wiped out more than a dozen tribes, and they arrived at the location of these tribes, and the goal was only a mess. In order to be in a hurry, Xu Rong and Huang Zhong just took the captives and simply cleaned up the battlefield.
Even so, it angered the ten thousand horsemen, and they followed the traces of Xu Rong and Huang Zhong's hurry, but because they were a few days behind, they finally caught up even if they chased desperately, and they were still less than a day away from Liaodong.
The clansmen were taken captive and ate ashes for so many days, and when these 10,000 cavalrymen saw Huang Zhong, it was the same as seeing the enemy who killed their father, and they rushed forward without even saying hello.
Huang Zhong was furious when he saw this, a group of defeated subordinates, what kind of trouble do you want to make?
The furious Huang Zhong was naturally not the enemy of these Xianbei cavalry who were empty of anger but were exhausted by continuous hurrying, but only relied on the advantage of numbers to temporarily suppress Huang Zhong.
At this time, Xu Rong led the troops from the left and right wings, and the 10,000 Xianbei cavalry were suddenly in chaos.
Huang Zhong, who was suppressed very aggrieved, applauded repeatedly, and his spirit was furious, and for a time the Xianbei cavalry spilled blood on the battlefield, and there was no ......
In just half an hour, 10,000 cavalrymen died, and those who were captured were captured.
It was also at this time that Huang Zhong knew that Xu Rong deliberately lowered his speed to let the Xianbei army catch up, and he had already made arrangements before that, just waiting for the enemy to catch up.
It is precisely in this way that Huang Zhong understands that Xu Rong's talent is far above him, because he resolutely supports Xu Rong in the future war, especially when some new generals oppose it, he stands on Xu Rong's side clearly, and in this regard, these new generals who know Huang Zhong's martial arts can only compromise.
In this regard, Gongsun Du sometimes even has the illusion that if Xu Rong chooses to be independent, Huang Zhong will also choose to support it, but fortunately, he also knows that this is just an illusion.
After Xu Rong accelerated his march, several days passed and he arrived at the Liao army.
The triumphant Xu Rong and others were greeted by Gongsun Du personally out of the city, which moved him a lot.
Subsequently, Wei You and Mi Zhu, who had already been prepared, took over the prisoners and began the work of town planning for the Liao army......
Since then, the town planning of Liaodong has been vigorously unfolded, with the four cities of Liaolu, Xiangping, Gaoguli and Xianchao as the first step, and sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other things as bait, gradually spreading to the surrounding areas.
At this time, the sweet potato leaves and roasted sweet potatoes that Gongsun Du laid down last year had a role, and in the case of word of mouth, everyone was full of love for this thing, and everything followed.
However, the failure was the lack of potatoes and corn, which led to many people choosing sweet potatoes, but not wanting potatoes and corn, but fortunately, Wei You and Mi Zhu's abilities were not bad, and Gongsun Du's prestige was really high enough.
The next four years.
In the first two years, Xu Rong and Huang Zhong went to Xianbei from time to time to capture prisoners to provide coolies for town planning, and half of them would encounter the men and horses sent by Tanshi Huai first, well, most of them were concentrated in the next year. Fortunately, Xu Rong was able to get out of the way every time and arrested a lot of people.
Tanshi Huai was angry about this, and almost wanted to raise troops, but the imperial court, Wusun, and Ding Ling seemed to have gotten the news that Chen Bing Xianbei was on three sides, southwest and north, so that he did not dare to make a big move, and a small move was not an opponent of Liaodong.
So in the next two years, Tanshihuai simply gave up half of the eastern grassland, which made Xu Rong and Huang Zhong stop a lot. However, it is only a lot, not all, because of the increase in distance, Xu Rong and Huang Zhong must start fast enough and leave fast enough, otherwise they may return in vain. The experience of the first two years made Tanshi Huai also learn well, knowing that he could not help the two of them for the time being, not only gave up the territory, but also stopped blindly looking for the two to fight, but just scattered the captured clansmen, let them flee for their lives, and then withdrew.
In this way, the people caught by Xu Rong and Huang Zhong in the next two years are not as good as half of the first year, and they are typical of half the work!
Four years have passed, but Liaodong has been the same day by day, with villages and towns established one by one, and there are also streets and alleys as wide and neat as the city.
The town, according to the size, has a main street, more than ten to fifty alleys, the houses are also scattered, it looks better than the city, and there is a five-foot-high wall around it, but the thickness is only three or five feet, which is not comparable to the city wall, but even so, it is difficult for ordinary three hundred people to break through such a town.
There is also a main street in the village, but it is significantly narrower than the main street of the town, in fact, the main street of the town is also several feet narrower than the main street in the city. The rest is the same as the town, except that the wall is low, only one zhang, and the thickness is three or five feet, but the wall of the town is earth and stone, and the village is earth. Because although there are many small towns, they are also less than villages, a small town, there will be more than ten villages, not to mention that there are not so many stones, the key is that it is too heavy, too labor-intensive, and the wood is much lighter, and it is much simpler.
In addition, some old castles have also been renovated, and their fortification is no longer much worse than that of large cities such as Xiangping and Goguryi.
Of course, the biggest change is in the Liao team.
The original Liao City was also renovated, and at the same time, the captured prisoners were also used to build a larger outer city on the periphery with the original Liao City as the inner city, and now the Liao Army is the largest city in Liaodong, both in terms of population and city size.
Gongsun Du also moved from Xiangping to the Liao team again, Xu Rong and others naturally opposed this, but Gongsun Du insisted on this, so Wei You, who had already guessed the reason, came forward to persuade everyone.
