Chapter Thirty-Seven: Cutting the Heart Is Strong, Not Plotting

A new war is coming, which makes Gongsun Xun have to put aside his idea of organizing households and people, and once again lead troops to cross the river and line up against the water.

Of course, although it was a so-called last battle, this time the battle was more like a political performance, as a way to demonstrate the authority of the Han army.

After all, in late April, many days after the heavy rains, it is just around the corner...... First of all, the strength of the Han army was twice that of the other side; Secondly, after the Han army captured Liucheng, it regained a large number of war horses that the Wuhuan people had worked hard to take care of, and after Lou Gui led the rear army to arrive, the baggage supplies were also sufficient, as if they also crushed the other party from the perspective of equipment; Moreover, the Xianbei people marched a long distance to this place, and the Han army was regarded as waiting for work.

However, the most important point is that the overall situation of Liaoxi is here, and now Wuhuan in Liaoxi and Wuhuan in Liaodong have been in fact destroyed, Guanzicheng and Liucheng are in the hands of the Han army, from the Korean city of Lelang County in the easternmost part of Youzhou to Gaoliusai in Shanggu County, it is simply a smooth road, which can be called the overall situation, and the Xianbei people came alone, and there is no half fulcrum.

In fact, at the beginning, I heard that Kebi could lead the army here, and according to the guesses of Gongsun Xun and Zhao Bao, this young Xianbei leader seemed to be also fighting a 'political battle'!

This person obviously wants to rise to the occasion after Qiu Liju was captured, died in battle, and Yan Rou surrendered, and used an almost inevitable battle to tell the hundred ethnic groups in the hills of western Liaoning, and to tell the Xianbei people who were divided into a mess on the grassland that there were still people who dared to be enemies of the Han army at this time!

There is still a great hero who can be trusted and trusted by all tribes in the future!

And he's the one who is the one!

Since both sides are performing, the opening of the battle is quite interesting.

After the pontoon bridge was erected in Liucheng the day before, Lou Gui, Han Dang, Gao Shun and others organized the overall situation and led the main force of the Han army to cross the river and establish a village. And early on the morning of the second day, Gongsun Xun and Zhao Bao together, Weng and his son-in-law played a full guard of honor, showing various flags, while leading the six hundred white horses who had just regained the replenishment of horses, and on the other hand, leading eight hundred Liaodong elite horsemen, across the river mightily.

At the same time, hundreds of white-clothed chiefs of the western Liaoxi clan and their cronies also formed a small cavalry force, and under various banners, they followed behind the two generals and crossed the river to set up a formation.

In the morning, the Xianbei army appeared in the west as promised, two or three hundred steps apart, each standing in position, and then the first person to appear on the stage was as expected, it was Wuhuan Shan Yu Qiu Liju's son Lou Ban. However, instead of crying blood and crying out for revenge because of the destruction of the tribe, he ignored it, threw down his armor and weapons, and directly forced him to dozens of steps in front of the Han army, kneeling down to Zhao Bao and Gongsun Xun to plead.

"Zhao Gong!" After Lou Ban recalled the story of his father and Zhao Bao fighting side by side in the past, Fang prostrated on the ground and shouted emotionally in Chinese. "In the past, Zhao Gong's mother was held by the enemy, Zhao Gong was wise and martial, and my father and my brother drove for Zhao Gong, so they can be loyal and filial piety, and my Lou Ban is just a young man who has nothing to rely on, and he has no ability of Zhao Gong, so he can only exchange his father's life with this body, and please Zhao Gong have some pity for the sake of the same son!"

In front of the battle, many Han army officers and Zahu leaders looked at each other, but they all looked at the two generals under the White Horse flag.

"I don't want to have such sincere and loyal people among Hulu." Gongsun Xun sighed with emotion, and then turned back to look at his father-in-law. "How old is this, I'm afraid that my father-in-law was still riding sheep when he was in charge of Liaoxi, but now he actually knows that he is a Zhao Gong, and he can still tell the past of his father so sincerely and movingly...... I, the person who used to be in charge, have forgotten those things, and he can still remember them, which shows that there are still such things that he was born to know. ”

Zhao Bao glanced at his son-in-law, and shook his head: "I said it, this battle is dominated by you, so you can do it yourself, you don't have to ask me everything......"

Gongsun Xun laughed, but he suddenly looked solemn, and then raised his hand without looking back.

In the military formation, Duan Riyuming, who was a little pale, did not dare to slack off, and immediately rode forward, and his people passed the building class without hesitation, and finally in the middle of the two formations, he scolded Ke Bineng in Xianbei words...... And this time, Duan Ri Yuming, who has always been not good at words, actually joined forces with Wuhuan and Xianbei in Liaoxi to rebel, starting from the White Wolf Mountain to besiege Duan and Mohu, to breaking through Lu Longsai and plundering the mainland, and supporting Zhang Chun as the Son of Heaven.

is so good, of course, Gongsun Xun applauded in public behind him.

In fact, whether it is Lou Ban's plea or Duan Ri Yuming's 'exposΓ©' itself, it is meaningless, but without this level of contact, today's battle will inevitably seem blunt...... It's just a trick to see a move.

"How can the sin of establishing the Son of Heaven without permission be forgiven?" Seeing that after Gongsun Xun finished applauding, he took advantage of Duan Ri Yu Ming to turn around and return to the formation, and when he was speechless on the battlefield for a while, Han Dang suddenly personally beat his horse and came to the leader of the hundreds of Liaoxi Zahu leaders, and asked angrily. "What do you think of Qiu Liju's disposition?"

The leaders of the miscellaneous beards were also silent for a while...... No matter how poor and ignorant they are, they have been mixed up here in Liaoxi for decades, how can they not know what kind of sin it is to establish the Son of Heaven without permission? Besides, Han Dang's question was obviously asked for Gongsun Xun, they just have some ideas, what can they think?

So, after a moment of silence, it was a swarm of expressions.

"Qiu Liju wolf ambition, should be punished!" This is the head of the tribe with a high degree of sinicization, his people are resentful, Han Dang has some impression of his people, and he is the first batch of people who responded to Gongsun Xun's call to lead troops to help, and he is quite confident in saying this.

"Whether it's the rules of the Han or Xianbei, as long as it is a rebellion, there is only a dead end!" It has also been said that universal values are also in mind.

"Didn't Qiu Liju think about his fate when he rebelled that day? No matter how the general disposes of it, we have no complaints. ”

"You can follow the Wuhuan people's own rules and inflict dog punishment!" Another leader with Wuhuan blood suddenly spoke, but he brought the topic directly into the execution method with national characteristics. "We Wuhuan people can't help but let go of horses, and raise dogs, directly smear him with horse blood, and then release dozens of dogs in front of the battle, and bite him to death in public, in order to show the general's prestige."

"You can use the method of the Goguryeo people to divide the corpses of fifteen oxen!" This is a person who followed Gongsun Xun to Goguryeo.

"What if the general learned the rules of the steppe and strangled him with a bowstring for the sake of his previous meritorious work?" There are also people who are thinking about Gongsun Xun's reputation.

Hearing these people talking such nonsense, Han Dang was about to become demented after pretending to be stupid all these years, and he couldn't help laughing, and when the lively and noisy leaders saw this, they were immediately silent and extremely well-behaved.

"Since everyone thinks that Qiu Liju deserves to die, then my family will ask you if you are willing to torture him?" After laughing, Han Dang asked solemnly again.

The leaders were excited, but they did not pause, but stepped forward one after another, and bowed on their horses, and even some scrambled to be the first...... Are you kidding? Who has never fought and who has never killed anyone here, isn't it just killing a dead dog, how can they hesitate?!

Besides, they were trembling and waiting for Gongsun Xun to deal with it, if they could really kill one person and get the whole clan to be pardoned, then they should be happy!

"That's fine." Seeing this, Han Dang became more and more solemn. "Since everyone is willing to serve my family's monarch, then please all the leaders go out and wait in the front army!"

"Obiqiu Liju!" Gongsun Xun under the umbrella finally turned his head to signal.

The army was in turmoil, and the army array was even split out of a passage leading to the camp behind him, and then under the gaze and expectation of tens of thousands of troops, Liaoxi Wuhuan Shan Yu Qiu Liju was dragged out in public, dressed in satin clothes, as if he had not been abused before, but at this time he was tightly bound and gagged. Moreover, he probably knew that his life would end here, so he couldn't help but hang his head and close his eyes.

In this regard, Zhao Bao under the umbrella did not say anything, and even acted as if he did not see this person.

In other words, the right general who held the festival led Liaodong Taishou to come to Liucheng in a hurry, although he had the intention of interfering in the aftermath of Liaoxi, but he was mostly angry that Gongsun Xun actually wanted to discuss the affairs of Liaoxi with his mother Gongsun Auntie, and did not say hello to him...... The so-called negative qi comes from it. And after coming to Liaoxi, not to mention being poured a bucket of cold water on the situation in Luozhong by his son-in-law, he was confused. In fact, even if he really wants to interfere in Qiu Liju's disposal, he Zhao Bao has nothing to say.

After all, the matter of establishing the Son of Heaven also touched his Zhao Weihao's bottom line, and what he just said about leaving everything to Gongsun Xun to deal with actually means avoiding the embarrassing matter of ordering the execution of Qiu Liju in battle. Otherwise, if he really remembered the old love of the day, he would have interfered a few days ago, so why bother to say it again?

even took 10,000 steps back and said that he Zhao Bao really remembered the old feelings and really wanted to protect Qiu Liju, but in the current situation, as one of the two commanders of the Han army, how could he, as one of the two commanders of the Han army, dismantle the stage with his son-in-law in front of Xianbei and the leaders of all walks of life?

There is a difference between inside and outside.

I think that a few months ago in Luozhong, even a person like the Son of Heaven, facing the great general He Jin, was only fighting and compromising, and never said who wanted to kill whom, who wanted to kill whom...... At the end of the day, people are not enemies at all.

At the same time, the Xianbei army formation on the opposite side also fell silent after a commotion, and only a few Xianbei warriors who threw away their weapons came out and dragged Lou Ban back, but they didn't make any unnecessary moves...... Actually, think about it, why can Kobi come here? Is it really here to save Qiu Liju? He was afraid that he would wish for Qiu Liju's miserable death, and then let the Xianbei leaders around him fear and dislike the Han people from now on, and then turn to him!

In other words, at this time, the two armies are facing each other, whether it is the Han people, the Xianbei people, or the Zahu people...... From top to bottom, from left to right, except for one of Qiu Liju's own sons, Lou Ban, everyone is looking forward to Qiu Liju's rapid and tragic death in the past! So that the storm of this rebellion will be settled.

However, in the next quarter of an hour, something suddenly went wrong.

Because, the matter did not end here, just after Qiu Liju was dragged to the front of the formation, the Han army formation that had been split before did not mean to close, and dozens of people were dragged out of the Han army from the back of the military village, and they were still tightly bound, plus gagged and served.

The leaders of the Zahu tribe who had just lined up in front of the formation saw clearly that these people were clearly the big nobles of the Wuhuan tribe in Liaoxi, and they had many contacts in the past, but they were disposed of together at this time, although their hearts were shaken, they had nothing to say.

But the matter is not over, just when the tribal leaders have been a little shaken, the Han army is actually in a steady stream, constantly dragging people out, and all of them are Wuhuan nobles...... In the end, the front of the battle was densely packed, and five or six hundred people were dragged out!

This number, for Liaoxi Wuhuan, which is more than 5,000 villages, is likely to be the concept of all the heads above the family clan unit!

As a result, the hands and feet of the leaders of the tribes were cold, but they no longer had the meaning of rejoicing before...... Some people figured out something in an instant, and some people couldn't figure it out for a while, but they were also sensitive to the fact that there might be something hidden behind this execution that was particularly fatal to them.

But no matter what, under the effect of double fear, none of these tribal leaders in western Liaoning dared to question it.

"Qiu Liju!" Gongsun Xun looked at the foreign body in his mouth that had been removed in front of him, but he was still like a puppet. "If you do not die, my heart will not be at peace...... But it's okay for others, after all, you are Wuhuan Shan Yu, I read that you have contributed to Liaoxi in the past, and I promise you to leave a whole corpse, and you can say how to die yourself. ”

Qiu Liju, who was standing in front of Gongsun Xun and Zhao Bao's horse, was stunned when he heard this, but his face was a little more angry, and then he stared at Zhao Bao, making Zhao Weihao, who was already shocked by the scale of the execution, feel more and more uncomfortable.

"Forget it!" The other party only looked at Zhao Bao, which made Gongsun Xun look helpless, and he waved his arm and immediately urged.

Hearing the order, hundreds of Han soldiers immediately put down those Wuhuan nobles and returned to the battle, and Han Dang also looked at the hundreds of local tribal leaders on his side, ready to give an order, asking these people to step forward and execute.

However, just when the two soldiers were about to drag away Qiu Liju, who had been silent, Qiu Liju, who had been numb, suddenly said: "I know why I lost that day? ”

"Did you speak?" Gongsun Xun immediately laughed. "In vain, I thought you were really stupid since you were captured that day......"

Qiu Liju, who had gray hair, was dragged back again, he reluctantly stood still, first looked back at the hundreds of Wuhuan nobles who were almost desperate behind him, but he couldn't help but turn to Zhao Bao and burst into tears: "Zhao Gong...... After seeing you today, I have already realized what this battle is all about...... In the battle with Ke Zitan, I swore to you that I would not drive the Xianbei people through Liucheng and swear not to collect the troops, otherwise I would die tragically under the horse's hooves, and then I secretly swore to indulge the Xianbei people and escape...... Thinking about it this way, my fate today is really a clear destiny, and it has long been doomed! It's just that my people are innocent, and they are affected by me to the same end?! Poor Liaoxi Wuhuan has been continuous for a hundred years, and he actually died at my hands once......"

"Stop bragging!" Gongsun Xun was upset when he heard this, and he was furious. "What destiny is above? It's nothing more than the way of heaven is constant, the general trend is like a wave, you people can't keep up, and you don't want to be subservient to others, what can you do if you don't die? As for being buried in your hands, it's even more ridiculous! Liaoxi Wuhuan lasted for a hundred years, and that night it had already been destroyed with the only one who was fighting in the barracks, and you nobles who hid in the city to take shelter from the rain, one of them is counted as one, and they are all Wuhuan gravediggers! And died under the hooves of horses? Am I the kind of tyrant? Kill people directly, how can you be trampled to death? You don't feel pain, I'm too easy to break a horse's leg! ”

After speaking, without waiting for the other party to say more, Gongsun Xun waved his hand, and then the two sergeants in front of him struggled to knock down Qiu Liju, who was still sighing about the destiny of heaven just now, and stuffed a ball of foreign objects into the opponent's mouth, and then threw it into the open space in front of the battle as if dragging some goods.

Two hundred steps away, Lou Ban had already knelt in front of the Kebineng horse, holding the horse's legs and begging the other party to rescue him...... And Kebi can look at the Han army's army formation that is obviously wider than his own, especially the cavalry densely packed on both wings, although he has already turned pale, he is actually a little hesitant!

In other words, the young Kebineng was not moved and hesitant because of Lou Ban's plea, in fact, he guessed that Han Jun was trying to be executed in public and still had some excitement and faint anticipation. However, when he saw that all the five or six hundred Wuhuan nobles were carried to the front of the battle, he was actually a little timid and hesitant...... Because this means that the Han people have made up their minds not to directly take over Wuhuan in Liaoxi through the Wuhuan nobles!

This layer of meaning has exceeded his expectations, with his preparation!

Be. That's right!

The Han people's treatment of the rebellious Hu leader can indeed make some people re-recognize their own identity, so as to understand that he is the real support of the Hu people, which is also the fundamental reason why this young Xianbei leader fought this battle hard.

However, what if the Han people clearly told everyone that you are dispensable, and we can control Liaoxi without you? So what? Will he be so scared that he will not dare to resist easily?

With a clarion call, more than 100 leaders in western Liao, under the gaze of Han Dang, and also under the gaze of tens of thousands of Han troops, they beat their spirits, dismounted one after another, or drew their swords, or stood behind a group of Wuhuan nobles with spears.

Another horn sounded, and the leaders gritted their teeth and raised their weapons, hacking and stabbing to death the respective Wuhuan nobles in front of them.

With the third horn, the leaders wiped the blood stains from their weapons, moved forward again, and continued to come behind another Wuhuan nobleman, and this time, Duan Riyu Ming, who didn't need to be killed, even left his own military formation, and personally came to Qiu Liju's side with a knife.

As Gongsun Xun said, he is not a pervert, and he is just executed by Liwei...... Even if it is to make Liaoxi Wuhuan organize the people and kill a bit more nobles, it is not enough to say that people will be trampled to death in order to save trouble, right?

Buried alive is better than that!

However, at this moment, another horn sounded, but it came from the Xianbei army array, and immediately, the whole Xianbei army was in a commotion, and they actually wanted to rush straight to the front of the Han army to try to save these Wuhuan nobles.

Gongsun Xun was furious, and he also drew his sword to signal, and immediately, the prepared Han army formation immediately rumbled, and the large cavalry on both wings poured out directly under the leadership of the middle-level officer, and the infantry army formation in the middle also stood forward intensively under Gao Shun's signal. None of the leaders of the various departments who were being executed before the battle dared to slack off under the angry eyes of Gongsun Xun, and they actually quickly stabbed one after another, and then hurriedly returned to the battlefield and got on the horse.

Then, seeing that the opponent's cavalry was in front of him, Gongsun Xun waved his hand again, and Tian Yu on his side, led by Bai Ma Yicong, and the eight hundred cavalry led by Tai Shici immediately reined in their horses and charged to meet them.

The two armies fought, and no one cared about the remaining Wuhuan nobles on the ground, let alone Duan Riyu Ming's slashing, which did not kill Qiu Liju directly, but it was indeed as this Wuhuan Shan expected to die under the trampling of the horses' hooves of the chaotic army.

However, this battle involved tens of thousands of troops, and the two sides used more than 10,000 cavalry to charge...... How many thousands have died under the hooves of horses?

Why should a mere hill dwelling be remembered?

As everyone knows, on that rainy night half a month ago, Qiu Liju was already dead.

The two armies engaged in battle in the flat hills on the other side of the river to the west of Liucheng, and soon, because of the cavalry, the battlefield continued to expand, and finally evolved into a typical pursuit battle.

There is nothing worth saying more, Kebi can ask for benevolence, and he is defeated and left, and was even forced by Tai Shici for a time, and almost died under the opponent's arrow.

In the evening, the Xianbei people walked westward, the Han army returned with a great victory, and Gongsun Xun was bored, so he and Zhao Bao walked back to Liucheng from the pontoon bridge.

"I have something for you." Walking to the middle of the pontoon bridge, Zhao Bao suddenly stopped.

"Father-in-law, please speak." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but stand with his hands tied.

"The Han people cultivated the land for a living and lived in brick, wood and stone houses, so they were able to organize their families and people. The Wuhuan people live in tents, fish and hunt, herd horses and raise dogs, and move more than twice a year...... You killed all their nobles, what will you do with Liaoxi Wuhuan in the future? ”

"You've got to try to deal with it, right?" Gongsun Xun immediately replied in a deep voice. "After all, Liaoxi is surrounded by the Daling River for protection, and there are several cities isolated on the periphery, so I am not afraid that they will go out of the Han realm, so we might as well let them take the curtain as the basis, the cattle, sheep and horses as the endowment, and the war as the servitude, and let the Amway be a tax collector......"

"Let's not say whether this is feasible or not, and regardless of your selfish intentions, Wenqi." Zhao Bao said with a straight face. "Let me ask you, if you practice this method, how do so many tribes in Liaoxi view this matter? If we can rule the herdsmen directly, what are these leaders? Have you thought about their reaction? ”

"That's why they came to watch the battle and the execution." So far, Gongsun Xun has no need to hide it. "Today I want to tell them that whoever obeys me prospers, and whoever disobeys me perishes...... Liaoning West is connected to Youzhou, which is located at a critical point, and I will never allow anyone to have the ability to disrupt traffic and harm me again. And now, while the army is here, the power of the great victory is still there, and it is even more necessary to use thunderous means to completely eat Wuhuan and these miscellaneous people! And the people who are as strong as Wuhuan and Xianbei are all in this fate, what can they do except let me deal with it? ”

"They may not be able to do anything to you, but they can always escape, right?" Zhao Bao continued to ask. "Those miscellaneous beards are originally from a variety of sources, today you are powerful in western Liaoning, they are naturally docile for a while, but when you return to Senei, they can calmly escape to the western grassland...... Kebi can use soldiers in the execution today, I'm afraid he just wants to tell those people this truth, right? And Wen Qi, I have only seen 'those who oppose me die', but I have never seen 'those who follow me prosper...... I also know some things about this battle, you can't blindly use force because you have a grudge. ”

"Of course I know that things on the grassland are not as good as those in Liaoxi," Gongsun Xun was silent for a moment, but he still spoke eloquently. "So it didn't mean to kill them all. When my mother comes to take over this side of things, I will go to destroy the Mohu Department, and at that time, I will still support some tribes to act as barriers in the surrounding area, such as the Tong Fen clan, who has made great contributions this time, and let them go to Chengde City. There is also the Duan Department, since the summons that day was indeed out of good intentions, and the father-in-law has a lot of maintenance, and also gave them a chance to go to the west of the Daling River as a barrier. The same is true of all the rest, if you are honest, you can rely on us to gain a foothold on the grassland. ”

"After talking for a long time, you still don't have a long-term solution." Zhao Bao shook her head. "Since we have arrived in the grassland, we Han people cannot control it, today we are loyal, tomorrow we will change the leader, naturally we can also rebel and cause trouble, but instead raise tigers for trouble...... However, if it works for a while, it will work for a while, and you are at least still doing things, and no one else has even thought of a way. ”

After saying that, he left his son-in-law and walked towards Liucheng, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, so he looked back and asked: "What did you mean by saying 'again' bad to you?" Could it be that you have already made up your mind to respond to General He? ”

Gongsun Xun was embarrassed for a while, but he smiled silently.

"Say!" Hundreds of miles away in Chengde City, Cheng Pu was already angry. "Where have the thousands of soldiers and horses from Mo Hu and the Mo Hu Department gone?!"

"The day before yesterday, the head of my family sent people to the south of Yuyang Road to find the captain, and on the other hand, he personally gathered people and horses, and led the young people in the city to hurry north!" The person being questioned seemed to have expected it, but he was neither humble nor arrogant. "Before leaving, he told the people in the city that Cheng Duwei was a serious and virtuous person, and he would definitely not kill women and children to vent his hatred."

"I'm asking you where Mo Huyun is going, and I didn't let you say this!"

"I just know that I went north." This young man from the Mohu Division, who looked at his dress and listened to his voice, was no different from the Han people, but he reluctantly pointed to the north and said another nonsense.

And Cheng Pu was angry for a long time, but he suddenly sneered, but calmed down: "I want to see, how much can Mo Hu do on the grassland by throwing all the old and weak in the clan in the city?" Do you want to abandon you and lead thousands of troops to the steppe to dominate and dominate, in order to make a comeback? ”
