Chapter 1186: The Northwest King is a group of thieves
At the same time, at the four gates of Longxi, thieves from all walks of life stormed the city gates, and thieves continued to swarm in the city. The guards of the four gates of Longxi were overwhelmed, and the situation was extremely critical.
Just when the group of thieves should cooperate with the outside, attack frantically, and delusionally want to attack Longxian. A few miles away in Longxian County, the banner is like a mountain and a sea, and the soldiers and horses are majestic and impressive, like a god soldier in the sky. The troops were brought by the 40,000 soldiers and horses led by Tang Wang Wenhan. Wen Han saw the flames of Longxian County from afar, and the shouts of killing shook the earth. Wen Han's face was cold, and he said coldly to Pang Tong beside him.
Fortunately, Shi Yuan expected to know about this. Otherwise, Longxian County will be lost, and Longxi will be in danger. Even if these anti-thieves and Ma Chao echo each other, Xiliang is bound to be in chaos!! ”
It turned out that Wen Han was looking at the rescue of Tianshui, and on the way Pang Tong suddenly came to admonish, saying that the prestige of the Ma clan in Longxi is very high, and there are still a lot of redundant troops in Longxi. When these remnants of the Ma clan saw Ma Chao attacking Xiliang, they must be ready to move, in a vain attempt to help Ma Chao conquer Xiliang. Tianshui County is adjacent to Nan'an County, and Nan'an County is empty. If Ma Chaoqi attacked Nan'an, and then echoed with the thieves in Longxi, it would be dangerous. So Pang Tong persuaded Wen Han, and first reported that Yu Zhao Yun led the front troops and horses to rush to Tianshui, but the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the self-army took the road to Longxi. Wen Han listened to Pang Tong's persuasion very reasonably, so according to his words, he sent troops to Longxi.
When Wenhan led his troops to Longxian, he really encountered a group of thieves who rebelled. Wen Han thundered and was furious, and with an order, 40,000 Tang soldiers were divided into four roads, and they rushed to kill in Wanglong County. The thieves who were attacking outside the city suddenly heard the shouts of killing behind them like thunder, and they shook violently, and the whole land seemed to be shaking. The four-way Tang soldiers swarmed and attacked. The thief was caught off guard and killed.
Outside the North Gate, the thieves were killed in disarray. Suddenly, there was a sound of horses, and a group of people rushed over, and looked at the banner, which actually wrote six big characters of 'King Wen Bufan of the Western Tang Dynasty'. These six words are displayed in the eyes of the thieves like a talisman. At this time, in the crowd, a member of the army wore a black and gold dragon kai, held a rainstorm pear flower spear, and rode a black and shiny horse, only the four hooves were white. The eyes were as sharp as a knife, not angry but mighty, and shouted loudly.
"A thief knows Lonely!? Who dares to rebel!! ”
This will be the king of the Western Tang Dynasty, Wen Bufan! As soon as Wen Han appeared, it was like a god was coming, and the thieves fled in fright. Wen Han shouted angrily, galloped on horseback, and the rainstorm pear flower spear suddenly flew and stabbed, like a Taoist practice, killing a bloody road. The generals followed Wen Han to attack, and the Tang soldiers were full of morale and killed blatantly. The thieves at the north gate broke up in an instant, where they could resist it, and they abandoned and surrendered one after another. Wen Han rushed close to the city and shouted.
"Lonely is extraordinary!! Open the door quickly!! ”
The city guard opened his eyes urgently, and saw that the general under the city was Tang Wang Wenhan, and suddenly woke up like a dream, surprised and happy, and hurriedly taught the sergeant to open the city gate and put down the suspension bridge. As soon as the drawbridge fell, Wen Han soared and joined forces with the generals to lead troops into the city. When the thieves in the city saw the Tang soldiers entering, they were so frightened that they ran away in all directions. Wen Han rushed straight to kill and rushed to the county office in the city.
At this time, Cheriji led a group of thieves to break through the defense line of Longxi soldiers and horses, and had entered the county office. Suddenly, someone came to report, saying that many Tang soldiers suddenly came outside the city, and the general of the unified army was Tang Wang Wenhan! When Cherrigi heard this, he turned pale with fright and was cold, like falling into an ice cave!
"Wen Wen Wen is extraordinary! How could it be here!? ”
Soon the look of horror on Cherrigie's face turned into a hideous countenance, like a beast driven to a dead end, and he cried out in shock and anger. Yadan on the side was in danger and hurriedly persuaded.
"Lord! The other army's strength is strong, and our army is by no means the opponent of the other army. ”
Now Cherrigi has rebelled, and there is no way back. Cherrigi looked certain, suppressed the panic in his heart, and hurriedly concentrated his troops and horses and retreated to the south of the city. When Zhong Miao saw the thieves suddenly withdraw, he was shocked and saw countless soldiers and horses on the streets of the city swarming towards him, and under the light of the fires everywhere, those soldiers and horses were actually soldiers from his own country! Zhong Miao was overjoyed when he saw it, and the soldiers in the county government rushed out to cover up and kill. Cherrigi fled in a hurry, and when he reached the south of the city, a Tang soldier rushed into the city. Yue Ji strode forward, like crazy, and shouted with all his might.
"At this time, if we don't fight to the death, if we are captured, we will all die if we rebel, why not fight to the death!!"
Yue Ji shouted angrily, and the group of thieves rushed to kill like beasts that wanted to break through the cage. Yueji wielded a double hammer, protecting Cherrigi and Yadan, and fought forward. Seeing that the two Tang generals crashed into the horse to kill, Yue Ji roared, and the double hammer swung like a whirlwind, and actually knocked the two Tang generals off the horse. Cherrigi saw it and hurriedly went to take down the two war horses. Cherrigi got on a horse, and after Yue Ji repelled the Tang soldiers who rushed to kill, he also got on a horse and rode with Yadan. The three of them rushed side by side, Yueji and Cheriji sacrificed their lives to fight, and they just broke a bloody road and rushed out of the city. The rest of the thieves fled before they could do it, and they were all captured by the Tang soldiers.
By the time dawn, the fire in Longxian County had been extinguished. The chaos has been removed, and the thieves from all walks of life have been killed and wounded, and more than 1,000 captives, without exception, have been put to death. Wen Han is not a cruel and unkind person, but treason must not be tolerated. Wen Han piled up all the heads of the thieves in the city market to deter those who were plotting against them.
On the same day, Wen Han was in the county hall, and the generals gathered, and Zhong Xuan knelt on the ground and told his mouth. Wen Han didn't blame him, and beckoned.
"These thieves are the old members of the Ma family, with evil intentions and have nothing to do with the public. However, I didn't expect that the kindness of a woman back then spared these dog thieves and almost caused a catastrophe! Fortunately, Shi Yuan reminded him in time, otherwise this Longxian County would have been attacked by thieves last night! ”
Seeing that Wen Han was not blamed, Zhong Miao was grateful in his heart, and thanked him and returned to the seat. At this time, Pang Tong frowned and arched his hand.
"I heard that there were many Qiang people in the rebel thieves last night. One of them, Cherrigie, broke through with several deployments. The number of Qiang people in Liangzhou is nearly 50,000 or 60,000, and the Qiang people are fierce, if they rebel, Liangzhou is in danger. According to the view of the commander, the lord can quickly transfer troops and horses to the counties of Xiliang, while pacifying and monitoring the Qiang people, and on the other hand, strengthening preparations. ”
When Wen Han heard this, he was shocked, and he squinted at the knife and groaned. Because he came from later generations, he knew the cruelty of the Wuhu Rebellion, so Wen Han hated foreign races extremely much throughout his life, and hundreds of thousands of foreign people died under his command under his command. Although the Qiang people are now subservient to him, he knows that the Qiang people are intimidated by the national power of the Western Tang Dynasty and are not sincerely voted. Ruling by violence can shock for a while, but it is not a long-term solution. What's more, the Qiang people are rebellious by nature, and once the Western Tang Dynasty is empty, they will rebel!
Although Wen Han also used some methods to tame the Qiang people, such as stopping the Qiang people from practicing the Qiang rites and forcing them to learn the Han rites, he subtly changed the Qiang people. Later, Wen Han promulgated various policies to enslave the Qiang people and make them servile, but they moved the Qiang people to the people of the Tang State, enjoying the same benefits as the Han people, and they could get land, join the army, establish merit, or pass the assessment and become officials. In this way, the Qiang people will yearn for it, and the slavery time will not last long, and most of the Qiang people will endure it. In this way, over time, the Qiang people will forget their identity and realize the idea of the Wenhan Han Qiang family. However, it will take a long time for these policies to be effective. At this time, Xiliang was in chaos, and Wen Han had to make preparations. So Wen Han followed Pang Tong's words and transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses to various counties in Liangzhou.
After the search for the future, Wen Han's allocation has been decided, Pang Tong came to admonish, persuaded to march to Nan'an as soon as possible, repelled Ma Chao, and then drove the rest of the troops to Tianshui, and Zhao Yun attacked before and after, and the Xiliang Rebellion could be determined. Wen Han followed his words, prepared soldiers and horses on the same day, led 30,000 soldiers and horses from Longxi, and killed Nan'an.
However, it was said that a month ago, when Ma Chao listened to Kuai Liang's plan and attacked Nan'an with surprise troops, he taught Mrs. Zhurong and Yeluzong to lead 20,000 barbarians to guard the camp. Mrs. Zhurong followed the order, guarded the village, and did not move. Ten days later, Li You saw that Ma Chao was delayed in attacking the city, and he was suspicious, so he sent people to Zhao Yun's camp and taught Zhao Yun to send troops to the trial. Zhao Yun has always respected Li You very much, so he ordered 3,000 soldiers and horses to kill the barbarian army.
When Mrs. Zhurong heard that the sergeant had come to report that Zhao Yun had led troops to fight, she was immediately anxious and urgently summoned Yeluzong to come to discuss. Yeluzong's expression was solemn, and he said to Mrs. Zhurong.
"Zhao Zilong's martial arts are outstanding, except for the king, no one in our army is an opponent, but he can teach the sergeants to guard the camp, and he must not attack easily."
Mrs. Zhurong also felt that it was reasonable, so she quickly sent the generals. After a while, Zhao Yun led his troops to kill and set up a formation. Zhao Yun rode out of the battle and fought against Ma Chao. Unexpectedly, there was a cannon sound in the barbarian army's village, and the arrows were fired suddenly, and the random arrows shot back Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was furious, and the sergeants scolded in unison. Suddenly, the scolding shook the sky, and the three thousand Tang soldiers scolded Ma Chao one after another, and Mrs. Zhurong was furious when she heard it, and she couldn't wait to lead the troops out of the village to fight. Seeing this, Yeluzong hurriedly persuaded.
"Madame, don't be angry, this is Zhao Zilong's agitation of the law!"
When Mrs. Zhurong heard this, she suppressed her anger and still stood still. Zhao Yun scolded outside the village from noon until dusk. Zhao Yun saw that Ma Chao was delayed, and he was puzzled, and thought to himself.
"Ma Meng is arrogant, and he is by no means a person who retreats from battle! I hereby order the sergeant to scold for several hours, but Ma Mengqi still does not fight, and it will be treacherous! ”
Zhao Yun was a fine person, so he withdrew his troops and sent someone back to Li You. When Li You heard the report, he groaned for a while, and sent people to Zhao Yun's village that night, teaching so and so. Zhao Yun was overjoyed when he heard the plan.
Early the next morning, Zhao Yun led his troops to come again, but the barbarian army still did not move. This time, Zhao Yun did not teach the sergeant to scold, and suddenly rode his horse and raised his gun, hoping that the barbarian army Dazhai would be killed. When the barbarians saw this, they hurriedly fired arrows indiscriminately. Zhao Yun pulled out his gun and beat indiscriminately, brushed off the antlers, and saw that he was about to enter the village. Mrs. Zhurong was shocked when she saw it, and hurriedly taught a fang to resist. Zhao Yun was cunning, and when he saw that a fang was killed, he immediately turned his horse and left. Seeing Zhao Yun retreating, the fang didn't dare to chase and kill, so he stopped the momentum. So Zhao Yun did this again and again from day to dusk, disturbing the barbarian army's heart and spirit. Mrs. Zhurong saw it in the village, and she was so angry that she was furious, her coquettish eyes glared, and she shouted coquettishly.
"This Zhao Zilong is really too deceitful, if the king is here, how can he be so rampant!!"
Yeluzong saw that Mrs. Zhurong was angry, and hurriedly persuaded.
"Madame, don't be impatient, Zhao Zilong has repeatedly tried to find out if our army shows a little flaw, it will be dangerous!"
