Chapter 131: Shock

The victory over a formidable opponent was a joyous and morale-boosting force throughout the army. Chen Cheng didn't think there was anything to be happy about, the Huns had made too many mistakes, far more than the Liangzhou people, and their failure was a matter of course. Combat is basically not technical at all, just wait for the enemy to come, and then rush forward to do it.

Although the Huns were disorganized and had low combat effectiveness, their side was also full of mistakes. Because of the low quality of the officers on both sides, they couldn't use any subtle tactics, and many times Chen Cheng was worried about whether the army under his command would suddenly collapse. But in the end, they still won, and victory is everything.

After the death of the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, Chen Cheng passed him to the Quartet, and the Xiongnu tribes who remained in the north were shocked, and Meiji and Jiuyuan surrendered without a fight. The nearby Huns either surrendered or went south to Yufulo, and there was no major war, so Chen Cheng stayed that day to guard Meiji, Liu Yuan to guard Jiuyuan, Xu Rong to guard Manbai, and divided the grasslands, and placed the Qiang tribes that followed them at the foot of Yin Mountain in the north of Linrong and various places in the two counties.

Dividing the grassland, recruiting the Xiongnu tribes, and rewarding meritorious soldiers took Chen Cheng a lot of time. During this time, Cheng Yi and Yang Qiu had already returned to Wuwei County and Fuping City with the loot, respectively. Chen Cheng used gold and silver to buy the cattle, sheep and wounded horses in the hands of the two men, and used them to reward the Qiang and Xiongnu who had made meritorious contributions. He also sent Lü Fang to lead a thousand cavalry back to Lian County to collect the people and resume production.

Chen Cheng himself was guarding Linrong City, dealing with all kinds of things on the grassland. Although the Huns only occupy one-third of the grassland, and they split again, but they are the hegemon of one side, when it collapses, it will stir up a great aftermath, if it returns to the north, I am afraid that the Huns will make a comeback, or the Wuhuan people in the east will take the opportunity to move westward and swallow all the Huns.

Either way, it wasn't what he wanted to see. The situation here is complicated, and he is not at ease about throwing it to others, so he has to repeatedly change the time of returning to the army. Even if he personally sat in Linrong City, there was a call among the Huns for Yu Fuluo to take over as the Xiongnu Da Danyu.

Liu Yuan and the two of them killed a lot of Xiongnu nobles that day, so they naturally strongly opposed the return of Yu Fuluo. Especially on that day, his territory was near Meiji, and if Yu Fuluo returned north, he would inevitably pass through here, and he jumped up and down and said that he would hang all those who had ulterior motives.

Chen Cheng said to the messenger of the day drive carelessly: "I know, go back and tell the day to relay, so that the soldiers and horses can be straightened out, if Yu Fuluo comes to attack, I will lead the troops to rescue him." ”

After the envoy left, Chen Cheng turned his head to Zhao Yun and said: "The generals of all the departments have boasted of their military exploits, lest the rewards are not rich enough, although Zilong, your merits are a little worse than those of Cheng Yi and Yang Qiu, but they are definitely above Li Kan, Yao Qiong and others, but they don't want anything...... Why don't you appoint you as the Taishou of Shuo Fang and give you this Linrong City to govern, how about it? ”

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "I saw that Wen Zheng spent the gold and silver like flowing water, the territory of the city, and even the cattle, sheep and horses were also divided, if you give me Linrong City again, then what do you have left?" ”

Chen Cheng put the brush still on the table and said with a smile: "Then it can be cleaned for a few days." ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "If you lead troops to fight, I think I still have some ability, but when it comes to governing the people, then it's not what I'm good at." If Wen Zheng feels that it is hard, it is better to summon Yan Changshi here. ”

Yan Changshi is Yan Zhong Yan Bodao, and these days, he has been raising grain, grass, horses, livestock and other materials in Lingzhou.

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "Yes, these things between the texts should be done by a scholar like Bodao, and we should take the troops to fight Han Sui." ”

The expression on Zhao Yun's face became serious, and he said, "I heard that Han Sui has captured Jincheng, and now he is sitting on the land of three counties, and his soldiers are strong and strong, which is not comparable to the Huns." ”

"Haha, Zilong, you think too highly of Han Sui." Chen Cheng waved his hand and said, "I recently studied Han Wenyue's experience of using soldiers in the past, and found something very interesting. Do you know what it is? ”

"I want to hear about it."

"I found out that Han Sui is too fond of tricks, he is ambitious, but he has no courage; You can fight skillfully, but you can't fight hard. Chen Cheng said with a smile: "If he hears that we have defeated the Xiongnu, maybe he will not dare to drive the soldiers and horses to fight us, but will immediately retreat." ”

"What if he leads an army to attack Wuwei or the Northlands?"

"That would be better, there are also a lot of craftsmen in Fuping and Guzang, and there are also places to smelt iron ore nearby. If Han Sui came to fight us now, he would definitely be defeated! Chen Cheng said: "Those new equipment Zilong has also been used, I dare to say, now there is no cavalry in the world that can stop our army from fighting hard!" ”

"Since that's the case," Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Then shouldn't we take the initiative while others don't know?" ”

Chen Cheng sighed and said, "I want to take the opportunity to clean up the princes of Liangzhou one by one, but ........ Holding Mount Tai to surpass the North Sea, it is not for nothing, but it can't be. It's not that I don't want to do that, but I can't. ”

"Why?"

"If Han Sui leads the army to attack Wuwei or Beidi, then I can naturally justifiably gather Cheng Yi and Yang Qiu's soldiers and horses and defeat Han Sui's army in one fell swoop. But if we attack Han Sui with the main attack, I'm afraid that these two people themselves will be afraid first. ”

Chen Cheng said: "And I really don't have any money in my hands now, I have been fighting for the past few months, delaying the time of farming, and a large number of cattle, sheep and horses have died, and I don't know how to spend this winter." Besides, although we now have the advantage of cavalry, the cavalry cannot rush to the city wall, and in the face of one city after another, we still have to rely on the infantry to gnaw ........."

He shook his head and said, "There's no need to wade into the muddy waters of Liangzhou, let them fight if they want to, let's develop our own, see if we can replant some potatoes and sweet potatoes or something, so we can mix up this year." ”

Zhao Yun said: "Even so, you can't do nothing. ”

Chen Cheng said: "Of course, there are still some things to do, I am ready to go to the princes of Liangzhou and ask them to stop fighting with each other." ”

"Will it be useful?"

"Definitely..... Useless! ”

After that, Chen Cheng laughed and said, "If those people can be convinced, how can Liangzhou be like this?" In this world, in the end, it still has to rely on the sword to speak. ”

He picked up a bamboo slip, handed it to Zhao Yun, and said, "Almost all the letters are written like this, can you help me see if there is anything wrong with the words?" ”

Zhao Yun took the bamboo slip and unfolded it to look at it, with a look of surprise on his face.

"How?"

Why do these words ......... So weird? ”

Chen Cheng said: "I have always wanted to implement simplified characters, what do you think of these words? ”

"Wen is going to implement these ...... in Shuofang and Liangzhou Simplifying the word? ”

"Not bad!"

"I'm afraid those scholars will not be very happy."

"Hey, our territory is all down with knives and guns," Chen Cheng saw that Zhao Yun seemed to want to say something, waved his hand, and said, "Of course I know that if it weren't for Li Kanhou's selection of Liang Xing, and the help of Cheng Yi and Yang Qiu, we wouldn't have been able to kill here." But I have given them land and money, and I have rewarded them with merit, and they should have nothing to complain about. Now that I don't ask them for money or people, and I don't encroach on their fields, I'm just pushing for a more concise text, will they still rebel because of this kind of thing? ”

He asked Zhao Yundao: "Do you think that someone in Liangzhou will send troops to fight me because of this kind of thing?" ”

"It may not be that there will be no troops, but even if someone comes to attack, it will only be to seize the city and the population."

"That's right," Chen Cheng said, "Besides, even if they really call, I'm afraid that they won't succeed?" Hmph, if you want to fight Linrong, you must first clean up Yang Qiu, and then you have to pass through the territory of the heroes of Lingzhou, and then travel more than 600 miles........"

Chen Cheng broke the Xiongnu and seized the Hetao, which first shook the Xiongnu departments. Because of the deterrence of the head of the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, many Huns took refuge under Chen Cheng's command. When Yu Fuluo, who stayed in Hedong, heard the news, he immediately wrote to the imperial court, wanting to inherit the position of supporting the plough and Tu Da Danyu.

He Jin was in Luoyang at this time, although he was very shocked that Chen Cheng had made such a big battle, but he didn't have time to pay attention to things thousands of miles away in the north, so he appointed Yu Fuluo as the new plough Gu Tu Da Dan Yu, and ordered Dong Zhuo and Yu Fuluo to send troops to attack Chen Cheng's department.

Dong Zhuo was stationed in Hedong before, waiting to see the situation in Luoyang to see if there was anything cheap to pick up. However, as soon as the emperor died, the general He Jin immediately attacked, and it only took two days to control the imperial court, which disappointed Dong Zhongying. As a last resort, he could only go to Luoyang to meet the general He Jin first, and then take his headquarters to Bingzhou to take office.

After receiving the order from the imperial court to send troops to help Yu Fuluo seize Shuofang County and other chassis, Dong Zhuo, who was tall and thin, shrewd and capable, just "hummed" twice, indicating that he knew. Then, there is no then. Just kidding, he is the pastor of the state, even if he wants to send troops, he must first straighten out all the counties and counties in the state, and then he will help the Huns to grab land when he is full.

Yu Fuluo begged hard, but Dong Zhuo's heart was like iron and stone, and he ignored it. Yu Fuluo alone did not dare to lead his troops north, so he had to send many people to lobby Na Ri Zhu and others, and constantly sealed officials and made wishes, which made the Meiji Manbo area restless.

The second to be shaken was Xu Chao, Yan Xing and others from the Northland. These people may not really be convinced by Chen Cheng, and they secretly sneer at the title of Liangzhou Mu. Even if Chen Cheng succeeded in sneaking up on Linrong, their attitude was only better. But after the head of the Marquis of Xubu Bone was cut off, Xu Chao was shocked and trembled.

He had been in the north for a long time and knew the strength of the Huns. Although the Huns were poor and poor, their armor was unfavorable, but these Huns had many soldiers and horses, and they were both poor and arrogant, and they could even be said to be fearless of death when robbing. Over the years, they have invaded the Northlands and caused a lot of damage. It's such a strong Huns, who are defeated when they say defeated? Even the so-called plough was cut off by Da Danyu?

Xu Chao didn't believe it when he first heard about it, but the facts were there, and he couldn't help but not believe it. Even after hearing about it many times, when he heard about it again, it was still like falling into the clouds.

As for Yan Xing, he sighed at his uncle Yan Zhong in Lingzhou City, and said, "If you talk about knowing people, I am not as far away as my uncle!" ”

Yan Zhong laughed, twisted his beard, and said proudly: "I told you a long time ago, Junhou, that's a dragon!" If you listen to me, even if you can't do it now, I'm afraid you can get a county order. ”
