Chapter 157
"Gao Shun, Lu Bu. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "A person who can hold on for ten years in the midst of the enemy's encirclement must be an extraordinary hero, Han Yi secretly remembered in his heart. In the past, the lack of identity, there was always some inferiority complex when intersecting with people. At this time, he is a feudal marquis, and he is an official above a thousand stones, and his identity and self-confidence follow one after another, and he can be regarded as able to interact with people on an equal footing. There are countless heroes in the world, and Han Yi also has a great heart to make friends.
"I don't know how many dingkou there are in Jiuyuan County?"
Zhang Yi said: "Ten years ago, there were more than 4,000 households and more than 20,000 mouths in Jiuyuan County. In the past ten years, many people have been plundered and killed, and only 16,000 people remain. β
Han Yi asked, "How many soldiers and horses does the envoy want me to lead to Jiuyuan?" β
Zhang Yi said hesitantly: "This is exactly what I don't decide. I once sent an envoy to Xianbei in Hexi, and Xianbei Shan Yu and Lian negotiated, and after receiving ten beauties and other heavy gifts, Helian finally agreed that I and the state sent 1,000 troops to meet the people of Jiuyuan County. I'm worried that there are too few soldiers and horses, and I'm afraid that I will lose something along the way. and was afraid that the Xianbei people would rebel, so they have not been able to make the trip. Mingyuan is self-sufficient, is it feasible for thousands of people? β
Han Yi silently calculated for a moment, more than 16,000 people, thousands of people were afraid that they would not be able to take care of the front. The front and back are separated to protect it, and it takes the most elite soldiers to do it. Han Yi said: "Thousands of people are capable of doing it, but the soldiers and horses that go there still need to be selected." Those who are not brave and brave are not allowed to go. β
Zhang Yi stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, good, there are 6,000 people in the state army, and Mingyuan can choose them one by one." β
After that, let Zhang Liao lead Han Yi to the Bingzhou army camp outside Jinyang City. According to Zhang Liao, there were only six Sima soldiers in the 6,000 Bingzhou Army, and there was no commander or lieutenant. The location of the garrison of the Guyin state army is uncertain, and where there is a need, it will be defended wherever it is, and it is all up to the assassin to decide with a word. In addition, the assassin history was sent by the court to supervise the officials who guarded the changes in various places, so there was no need for the commander or the lieutenant to divide the right to assassinate the history.
Therefore, although the Bingzhou Army had two schools of soldiers and horses, there was no unified military attachΓ© to command. On weekdays, the six Simas basically do their own thing, and when they have something, they only act on the orders of Zhang Yi alone. However, because Zhang Yang is Zhang Yi's nephew, he sometimes has the meaning of the head of the six Simas.
Han Yi had seen the county soldiers, the county soldiers and the northern and southern armies, but he had never seen the state soldiers. The distinction between the armies is very clear, and this can be seen from the equipment of the soldiers. The county soldiers only had leather armor and common weapons. The soldiers had a small amount of iron armor, as well as some one-armed crossbows. I heard that the proportion of iron armor of the state soldiers is very large, and all kinds of weapons are available, except for large crossbows such as rhubarb crossbows and car crossbows, it can be said that they are by no means worse than the two armies of the north and south. As soon as Han Yi arrived at the Bingzhou Army camp, he was shocked by the equipment inside. However, in recent years, the better the equipment of the Han army, the worse the combat skills, with one enemy and one enemy, sometimes they can't defeat the Hu soldiers, which also makes Han Yi feel a trace of inexplicable sadness. I don't know what will happen to the state army?
As soon as he entered the barracks, Zhang Yang, who had heard the news, led the other four state soldiers to greet his new colleagues. When he saw Zhang Yang, he laughed and said: "Mingyuan has been in charge of the post of Sima of the Bingzhou Army for several months, why did he only send Wen Chou and Gao Ran to take charge of the army, but he never came to the post of Sima, could it be that he looked down on this post of Sima." β
Han Yi knew that Zhang Yang had a good temperament and was never malicious, but he liked to make some jokes that others would misunderstand. So he laughed back: "It's not that I look down on the position of Sima of the Bingzhou Army, but because of this, I have your greedy evil neighbor by my side, which makes me a little unwilling to eat and sleep." β
Zhang Yang pretended to be furious and shouted: "Han Mingyuan, isn't it just that I forcibly robbed you of a Xianbei Horse King, you are so resentful of me, you really don't belong to the son of man." β
Han Yi smiled: "Isn't it just a horse?" This is really easy to say, as if the Xianbei Horse King is like a mustard, not worth a penny. It must be known that it is at least worth a thousand gold in Luoyang City, and it is still priceless. Plus the thousand war horses I gave you, hum, you knocked out at least 50 or 60 million dollars from me. β
Zhang Yang laughed cheekily, stepped forward to hold Han Yi's hand, and said, "Look at what you said, aren't we brothers?" My brother has 30,000 good horses, which can be described as the great man of the Han family, and I only took a thousand horses, nine cows and one wool. β
Han Yi snorted coldly, making a deception, Zhang Yang hurriedly apologized, and introduced several other Sima to Han Yi. The other Sima names are Li Feng, Xue Lan, Liu He, and Gao Ya, all of whom are famous generals promoted by Zhang Yi in recent years, and they are not outsiders.
After the introduction, Zhang Yang said in Han Yi's ear: "Mingyuan, among the few of them, I can make a package ticket, saying that after you come, there will definitely be a good horse to send you, you can get ......"
Han Yi was furious and scolded in Zhang Yang's ear: "Those good horses were all captured by me and my subordinates in a bloody battle in Xianbei, but you told me to send them indiscriminately, you ......"
Zhang Yang had a bitter face, and begged again and again, Han Yi could only say: "Colleagues, Yi has just arrived, and there is nothing to give, and the Xianbei Horse King does not have so many, but each seven-foot good horse can give one horse, and another ordinary good horse, how about five hundred per person." β
Everyone was stunned, they were all stunned by Han Yi's generosity, and Zhang Yang even persuaded Han Yi in his ear: "It's more, it's more." One or two hundred horses per person is enough. β
How could Han Yi not know this, either he didn't send it, or if he wanted to send it, he would have to suppress others. In this way, others can think of their own good for a long time. Seeing that the other four Sima couldn't help but be ecstatic, they stepped forward to thank them again and again, but they almost didn't hold Han Yi up to the sky. The next matter of picking troops is naturally a matter of course.
On the whole, the soldiers of the state are still good, because they are in the border counties, there are more battles, the drills are more diligent, and the soldiers are relatively resolute, which is much stronger than the soldiers of the inner prefectures and counties. Pick and choose, and the general will pick out a thousand people who can ride and dare to fight.
Han Yi also selected five brave generals and Dubo, no less than his existing generals, who were ranked as brave and brave, namely Wei Yue, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian. The most courageous Wei Yue and Cheng Lian are almost no less than Gao Lan. Han Yi was very happy to see it, because Gao Ran could command the army alone, so it was not easy to use it as a guard general. However, Wei Yue and Cheng Lian were brave and scheming, but they happened to be the guards and generals. With these two people, when Zhang Fei comes to assassinate again in the future, he will take his head.
The selection of soldiers and horses was decided, Han Yi transferred war horses from Yinguan County, and asked for 500 pairs of horse armor from Zhang Yi, equipped with 500 heavy armor and 500 light cavalry archers. Under the scorching sun, 1,000 cavalry soldiers with helmets and armor will be headed by Han Yi, supplemented by Wen Chou and Gao Lan, and Che La, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Wang Yang, Yu Hua, Ma Yan, Zhang Kai, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian will continue to practice for 100 cavalry, so that they can conform to the command of Han Yi and others.
In the middle of August, after a long time of training, preparing to send a thousand Bingzhou iron cavalry to the Xianbei land of Hetao, Zhang Yi praised again and again after seeing it, saying that Han Yi deserved to be a brave general with a thousand horses across the eastern Xianbei. Just training the troops, you can see what they can do.
Han Yi looked at the thousand well-equipped iron horses in front of him, and his heart was also full of joy. All along, the soldiers led by him were an army in the form of volunteers, and the battle was all based on a spirit of blood and bravery. Because of the extreme shortage of equipment, no matter how elite Han Yi is, as his arm indicates, it is inevitable that most of them will be killed and injured, and it is difficult to have a battle like a bamboo. Today, with these elite and well-equipped iron horses in hand, even if there are 10,000 Xianbei riders blocking the way, Han Yi will dare to destroy them with one blow.
Han Yiwang saw that he was standing next to Zhang Yi, and when he saw the elite and strong army, he was eager to try, and Zhang Liao, who couldn't help but smile, said with a smile: "I don't know if Brother Wenyuan can intentionally put pen to paper and follow me to Jiuyuan and his party?" β
Zhang Liao looked at Zhang Yi with a longing face, Zhang Yi waved his hand helplessly, he wanted to train Zhang Liao to become a scribe, but Zhang Liao was bent on commanding the army, so he couldn't force him. Because he saw that Han Yi's army was very elite, he would definitely be safe when he went to Jiuyuan, so he agreed. After Zhang Liao saw it, he was overjoyed, even though Zhang Liao was young and old, when he walked, his brisk steps still betrayed him.
After August 15, when the autumn was high and the horses were fattening, Han Yi officially set up an army to send troops to Xianbei in Hetao. From Jinyang all the way to the north, after arriving at Yinguan County, he suspended his rest due to events.
This time, we crossed the river through Luo County of Mayi, Wuzhou, and Yudingxiang County to Yilan County of Xihe County, and entered the Southern Xiongnu Land. It also passed through the royal court Meiji of the Southern Xiongnu, to Wenguo, Manbo, Heyin, Linwo and finally to Jiuyuan County. When I went, I traveled more than 1,300 miles, but when I returned, I only needed to settle the people in Xihe County, and there was no need to move to Jinyang.
Along the way, most of the counties are either Han counties or Han affiliated Southern Xiongnu lands, all of which are safe places. Only when they reach the three hundred miles of Heyin, Linwo, and Jiuyuan counties is the territory of the Xianbei people in Hexi, and the dangerous territory is actually only six hundred miles in total. Therefore, this task is not difficult for Han Yi.
The only thing that worries people is the true attitude of Helian. Hexi Xianbei is different from the eastern Xianbei, both belong to Xianbei alone and Lian, and it is also the most powerful part of the Xianbei tribe. There are 20,000 accounts, and nearly 60,000 people can fight. It is by no means like Xianbei in the east, like a plate of loose sand. If it weren't for Helian's injustice and unsageness, he would not be able to inherit the cause of Tanshihuai well, and he would not be able to unify the entire Xianbei tribe that has not yet been truly unified. Otherwise, he will be Xianbei's most orthodox Da Danyu, another desert overlord with all Xianbei's 300,000 string-controlling warriors.
It's a pity that Helian is mediocre and incompetent, which is the misfortune of the Xianbei people, but it is the great fortune of the Han Empire. It's just that Helian's mediocrity may be a big trouble for Han Yi in the future. Because the arbitrariness of the actions of the mediocre is too great for people to fathom. If he goes to Jiuyuan City here, and Helian suddenly regrets it, it will definitely cause a tragic bloody battle.
It's just that Xianbei Shan Yu and Lian are far away after all, and trouble will be a matter of later. The trouble brought to Han Yi by Luan, the right virtuous king of the Southern Xiongnu in front of him, was the real trouble.
