Faster than a horse
After eating, Di Bao was sent away, and a few people were already staggering.
Li Hu wanted to send Yang Yanyan back to the girls' school alone, and asked: "Give you half an hour to rest, I will come back in half an hour, and we will set off." ”
He sent Yang Yanyan back, pressed Yang Yanyan's shoulders with both hands outside the school gate and turned to leave, as if encouraging his soldiers, Yang Yanyan felt that this half day of good life was like a dream, and caught up with him violently, and hugged him tightly from behind. She didn't let Li Hu go, but she knew that she couldn't keep it like this, so she demanded: "You have to come back for the New Year, my mother and my sister-in-law miss you." ”
Li Hu didn't break free, only let out a "hmm".
As soon as Yang Yanyan let go, he pulled the war horse next to him, turned over, and left without looking back.
Half an hour later, he set off with Fengbi and Xiong Zun. Out of the city, it was already drizzling like silk, but it was just wrapped in oilcloth and hats, and it was still non-stop.
Rainy nights and bright days,
Although the spring rain is fine, but dense, a few people and a few horses just hung up a horse lantern, rode away, dismounted and dragged the horse away, and arrived in Yuyang at noon the next day.
Resting in Yuyang, there were enough people and four horses in the post station, and a few people galloped again.
The Lingwu thousands of miles away, just as they flew like this, they were always approaching, the cold could not be stopped, the spring rain was difficult to block, and the spring breeze only saw them off.
Arrived at Lingwu.
It's like being soaked in the spring breeze and early rain, the spring branches are budding, yellow and yellow, although the weather is still cold, dry and cold, but spring is coming.
After the spring comes, like the spring ploughing of the Central Plains people, the range of nomadic activities has greatly increased, in the process of this kind of swimming, horse bandits and non-subservient tribes no longer hold on to the familiar old camp of withered grass, but will also swim back and forth, where grass can grow, where there are wild things, they can go.
If the bandits can't keep up, there will be Dongxia people who have been looted and killed in all directions.
Li Hu stood in the barracks and pulled out a map.
He was inspired by the household registration mentioned by Dickball.
That's right, the process of completely perfecting the household registration in this vast western wilderness is as meticulous as that of the Northern Plains, but it is necessary to speed up the work now.
He issued orders through the major military offices, demanding that all counties and flags should not only demarcate their borders as soon as possible, speed up the completion of household registration and nameplates, register and inspect the herdsmen who have traveled to other counties and other banners, and control the migrants without household registration nameplates. At the same time, the county banner was asked to find out if anyone had joined the horse bandits during the household registration inspection. If so, they will contact him through his relatives and ask him for details about the horse bandits, and if not, they will find out what tribes they have seen. If a horse bandit or a tribe that has not surrendered exists, then it will always be active, someone has seen it, and it is composed of people, then it can be numbered, and once the number is distinguished from other horse bandits and tribes, by identifying its characteristics and range of activities, it is under the surveillance of the Eastern Xia region and the pursuit of the military government.
But before that, the few existing threatening teams need to be annihilated.
The horns are melodious, breaking through the silence of dawn.
The cavalry galloped out of Lingwu, the horses' hooves like thunder, and the dust behind them was high.
After receiving the news that Lingwu's northern township banner was attacked by horse bandits, Li Hu urgently pulled the team out. They soon arrived at the place where they had been attacked, where a fire was still burning in the communal office of the village flag, the tents were squeaking with oil bubbles, a pungent bitterness and a scorching smell of hair, the grain was emptied, and the cattle were driven away from the nearby fence. The people who fled from the township flag came back, trying to put out the fire, howling in pain.
There were dozens of dead people, one by one on the right side of the public office, and there were large patches of blood, including a woman and a baby. Perhaps it was the bandits who wanted to kidnap the woman, who had a child and was killed by them.
It is different from the past when the horse bandits fled far away and did not chase them.
Li Hu pulled out the map and circled the military mansion that the horse bandits were going to enter.
He marked the location that needed to be encircled on the map, and directly sent someone to send this marked map to the military government, urging the military government's small battalion to dispatch, and at the same time dividing himself into two parts, each with a clairvoyant mirror to pursue.
A day later, they chased and intercepted on the way to the desert, caught up with this group of horse bandits, and annihilated most of them, but the escaped horse bandits just breathed a sigh of relief, and found that no matter how scattered they fled, there were pursuers behind them.
This is different from the past, the previous Eastern Xia soldiers defeated them and recaptured the women and livestock, and they would not chase them endlessly, but this time it was obviously different.
They kept chasing, although they carried dry food and water in order to concentrate, the surplus people retreated, it was still far more than the number of horse bandits, even if a dozen horse bandits ran in one direction, they could assign three or four people in one direction to chase to the end, even if the horse bandits in front of them entered the quicksand and died in the quicksand, they had to cut out the corpse, cut off the head and take it away.
Fleeing and fleeing, the bandit leaders understood that they wanted to be wiped out without missing a single one.
The bandit leader couldn't escape, so he surrendered with the remaining dozen horse bandits.
A day later, the county lieutenant of a certain county flag met with the people of the military government, and forced the horse bandits to explain their range of activities, the horse bandit team they had seen or knew, and the hidden tribe; Three days later, the leader of the bandits was beheaded, and the rest of the captured surrendered horse bandits were all filled into the hook fence.
Spring is like this.
It's still the same in the summer.
That's it.
One by one, the horse bandits were wiped out.
In the autumn, the geese fly south, the cattle and sheep are full of fat, the harvest is imminent, the big horse bandit tribe has been rare to come to Tongjing to collect the wind of the small ginseng want to propose to the military government, like the protection of national treasures, at this time, the household registration and nameplate began to improve, but anyone who arrives in the field, people who do not know anything, people who can not take out anything, will be immediately controlled by the local government.
Li Hu also felt that there was no place for him, so he waited outside the boundary of Chenzhou, waiting to meet the defeated Houchen nobles.
Hou Chen's failure was something Li Hu could not have imagined.
He went to Chenzhou, it was Tuoba Jiuxing who defeated the imperial army, he evaluated Tuoba Jiuxing's army, and came to the conclusion that the army of the Jingkang imperial court was even worse.
But he didn't expect that Dong Wen was about to recover Chenzhou.
The reversal of the war was because three things happened, Dong Wen persuaded the Jing people of Cangzhou to join the war, he had dealt with these Jing people before, promised land and canonization, this time, he went again, persuaded again, and the Jing people participated in the exhibition without reservation, and it is said that they took out tens of thousands of people.
Compared with Jingkang, the Jing people are like giants, Tuoba Jiuxing was the first to know that the Jing people participated in the war because they were trading with the West, and in a battle with Jingkang, they took the opportunity to surrender decisively.
Because it was a victory and surrender, and it was also to prevent the Jing people from entering Chenzhou and not leaving, Dong Wen not only did not weaken his power, but also played the imperial court and gave him the title of Jiedu envoy.
That's the second thing.
The third thing is that Zhang Huaiyu, who has worn yellow sand for a hundred battles, gathered hundreds of tribes to form a coalition of 50,000 and killed him.
Originally, Huining was their main battlefield, but the southwest and northwest were all strong enemies, and the state city was lost first, and then the first battle of Huining became the last battle.
Many of the old Chen magnates had already transferred their wealth and goods through the Kouziying like Dongxia, and went to Tuoba Xiaoxiao to find out if Dongxia would give them political asylum.
Bo Xiaolu has already put forward a request to take over the Kouzi camp through Tuoba Xiaoxiao, but was rejected by Tuoba Almil, Dongxia only found out that Tuoba Almil should not be the person they ignore, Almil not only quit Wushisan, but also really got the power of Hou Chen, but this is an irreversible situation, Huining fights, he has no possibility of victory, although I don't know why he refused to hand over the Kouzi camp to Dongxia first, but Dongxia no longer insisted, in the north of the Kouzi camp, there is another Dongxia Tuntian land, to Kouzi camp, just to seal the pass. On the day when Hou Chen did not exist, Kouziying would only be the gateway to Eastern Xia.
The bandits of three years were wiped out in less than a year.
If it weren't for the drag of Hou Chen, he would have been able to return to Beijing to hand over the army, Li Hu was very excited, and wrote solemnly: "Father Wang Mingjian, sons are faster than horses." ”
