16. Xiao Guan Juncheng Cheng
Su Yan gave up his hand and said that everything should be done according to what the prison army said.
At this time, in the mountains opposite the Killing Bull Ridge, a desolate and terrifying horn suddenly sounded.
Dr. Su followed his prestige and stood on the high posts where these party items had retreated, and a large number of cavalry appeared.
It was all the White Grass Army, led by the fierce general Yonehara, and when the other White Grass Army was burning tents, they marched in a hurry and detoured back to the other place, and at this time cut off all the ways out of this mountain.
Su Yan saw again that the party members who had finally run out of the burning camp saw this scene, so they stopped their horses' hooves and swirled in vain on the snow in the same place.
"It's over, they're completely dead, right?" Su Yan thought of the ending soon, and couldn't help but cover his face with the sleeves of his robe.
The deafening sound of horses' hooves sounded, Mi Yuan on the high post split his hand, four hundred Fan Yang horsemen held high the lance, the first to gallop down from the hillside, the wings were all white grass horses, the horn bows in their hands had been bent all over the place, thousands of cavalry, rushing and charging between the snow and the mountains and forests, what a terrifying and vast scene!
Everywhere you go, the backlog of snow ropes in the trees shakes off!
And the prison army Ximen Cangzhi was full of pride, seeing that his cavalry completely swallowed up the escaped party members like a frenzy, "biting" and smashing, and couldn't help but raise his raised chin slightly, as if paying tribute to all the warriors of Baicao.
At the place of killing the cow ridge, the cavalry of the White Grass Army concocted the same method, and burned and pulled out seven Nanshan party items in a few days, killed 4,000 men and women, captured more than 1,000 heads, and obtained more than 10,000 heads of livestock, that is, cattle, sheep and camels, and tens of thousands of stones of grain.
Soon, after hearing the "bad news", other Nanshan party members in Anle Prefecture began to abandon their original territories and frantically assemble in the castles of Mingsha and Zhongwei, and some were even so frightened that they fled into the "dry sea" desert between Lingwu and Yanzhou, and they were in a panic.
Especially when I heard that it was the son-in-law of Cui Ning, the former governor of Lingzhou Prefecture, who had slaughtered Gao Yue of Gyeongju Pheasant Qiang, and the Nanshan Party was even more chest-beating, scared to death, regretting how he helped Ma Chongying in the first place and provoked this god-like figure!
Don't look at Gao Yue is a standard jinshi and the first background, and he writes articles with a pen, but everyone knows that this ruthless murderer is more powerful than anyone else.
When the front line of the cavalry of the Baicao Army on the northern route galloped for hundreds of miles north of the Killing Niuling Ridge and did not notice any signs of the fall of the Nanshan Party, due to the pressure of supplies, they could only temporarily take the captured men and materials and withdraw to Xiaoguan, Mi Yuan and Ximen Cang were ready to inform Gao Yue, the observation and defense envoy who was waiting there: We need infantry support to capture Mingsha or Zhongwei and cut off Ma Chongying's way back from the Yellow River.
At the same time, Gao Yue, who was sitting in Xiaoguan, also got the good news of the Northwest Road sweeping Shimen Pass: the cavalry led by Zhang Yufei and other Jingyuan generals fought all the way to Shishan Gorge (that is, Tiandu Mountain in the later Western Xia, where the Western Xia royal court had built a palace), and also killed thousands of Qianghu indiscriminately, burned more than ten fortresses and fell into Tibet, and successfully retreated.
Ma Youlin, who went to attack Mamao Mountain, suffered a small fall, and was ambushed by the rebel Qiang and Xifan soldiers during the march in the valley, with more than 100 casualties.
Seeing that the military might had been demonstrated, Gao Yue was not polite, and ordered that all the captured livestock and materials be distributed to the soldiers, and as for the captured party and Qianghu men and women, ropes and shackles were added to assist the army in building the Baicao military city, and the captured women also provided various services such as weaving and pulping for the soldiers after nightfall.
"This group of prisoners, just choose some to dedicate to Your Majesty, and most of the young and strong ones will be sent to Xingyuan Mansion immediately, where the medicine garden, horse workshop, mule workshop, umbrella workshop, and iron official armor workshop are all short of manpower." Gao Yue was unceremonious, he wanted to restore slavery properly in Xingyuan Mansion, the prisoners in the war of the previous Tang Dynasty government, either went to Lingnan for a long time, or they were released and returned to the country, he didn't understand what "war dividends" were at all, he wanted to complain about this for a long time.
Society has never been a line of development, but a spiral of twists and turns, feudalism may not be more developed than slavery, the capital system is actually throughout human society, not a product of a specific stage, so send this group of prisoners to Xingyuan Mansion to work, not only can produce considerable profit value, but also objectively promote the integration of the nation, why not? In the future, history textbooks will be indispensable for another beautiful stroke.
So Gao Lian persuaded himself with strong reasons, and then issued a wooden note throughout the battalion, stating that no officer or soldier should mutilate prisoners without cause, and that as long as they were willing to work in peace, the rations should be sufficient.
Soon, the three brothers Gao Gu and Ming Huaiyi, who had returned to the imperial court, rejoined the lineup of the White Grass Army.
And at this moment, the Baicao military city in a month later, has been completed, the perimeter of its city wall is three miles, there are corner towers on all sides to look into the distance, Baicaoyu and the military city have built a small city, control the mouth of the mouth, and Xiaoguan barrier plug and set up a pontoon bridge, each other, in addition to the soldiers in the Xiaoguan barrier to repair the new post house dozens, and on the road leading to the sand castle, Linjing to build 14 beacons, arrange the beacon on the more, greatly expand the border cordon, smooth the post road military road.
This time, Gao Gu also brought back the emperor's reward:
20,000 stone of grain, a large amount of wine and meat, 14,000 pieces of silk cloth, and so on, were the emperor's reward for building a city for our Baicao army.
"What about Pingliang?" Gao Yue was concerned about the ultimate goal of this war.
Gao Gu reassured him, and the emperor also funded the "help army" from the inner treasury of the Son of Heaven, and first asked Xing Junya's Shence army to build the city in Danzheng Gorge as soon as possible, because the naval festival of Xuanrun Town made Han Rong have generously agreed, and immediately sent 200,000 stone grain and 400,000 yuan to Jingshi Weikou within a month to fund Pingliang to build the city.
"Although Han Nanyang is sometimes violent, he still counts when he speaks at critical moments." Gao Yue felt that it was still worth it to make a flat article to praise Han Rong.
At this time, Gao Gu handed him the sealing instrument again, saying that when he was passing through Changwu City, Xiao Fu, the ambassador of the Seven Towns, sent it.
Xiao Fu told Gao Yue: I am now controlling tens of thousands of troops in Suining, Jingyuan, and Shence, and there are more than 10,000 troops led by Wu Xianfu and Zhang Wanfu in Xianyang to resist for me, and His Majesty has sent 5,000 Shenwei disciples to help, and now I have successfully entered the south of Qingzhou City 50 miles to set up a large camp, Ma Chongying's 100,000 army has been trapped, and now Gao Lian has made you send 10,000 elite foot cavalry, from the first line of the Meridian Ridge to attack Mingsha and Zhongwei, and cut off the west road of the thieves; Ma Sui in the east of the river and Hun in the river sent out 40,000 elite foot riders to cross the Yellow River and oppress the thieves from the east; Kang Rizhi, Han Tan, and Zhang Guangsheng crossed the Hetao Beisai (forming a bag-shaped offensive) - immediately after the summer, we will attack in anticipation, and the great achievement of annihilating Ma Chongying in one fell swoop is in front of us!
