The battle was fought between two camps with unequal forces. And in terms of the fighting spirit and individual ability of the soldiers, there is a big difference. So there is no tactic to speak of. When the sword and shield battle of the Ren clan charged over and slashed the last elite soldiers of the Ping royal clan to the ground, the cavalry bypassed both sides and rushed straight to the Chinese army. The remnants of the Ping royal clan did not have much cavalry, and could not prevent effective forces from resisting these cavalry that were raging in the military formation.

The fighting spread swiftly. The soldiers in the rear of the Ping royal clan were abandoning their weapons and fleeing, and many began to surrender, and there was no will to fight. Some of them were only 10-year-olds, and some of them were old people who were so tired that they had to lie down.

"Surrender!"

"Surrender!"

The army of the Ren tribe kept chanting, and the people of the Ping royal clan knelt down with a momentum like the sea. This tactically unspeakable war itself does not require tactics. With a small casualty, the remnants of the entire Ping royal clan were crushed.

The main city of the Ping royal clan has no fighting significance at all. When Pang Tong's army pressed close to the city built on the mountain, the scattered defenders on the city were already trembling with fear. The captured soldiers came to the city. The people on the city walls were even more speechless.

Pang Tong rode to the city and said, "If you open the door, you will not kill anyone, so that you can continue to be peaceful." Otherwise, there will be no mercy! ”

Under absolute pressure, the gates slowly opened. A group of **** upper body people came to Pang Tong and knelt down and said, "I'm waiting to surrender!" I am the patriarch Zhu Cup, I surrender! ”

Pang Tong looked at this man who was extremely cowardly at the moment, and shook his head coldly.

The Ping royal family was relatively strong, but the people in the city could not live here, so Pang Tong ordered to forcibly move to Bamei City and Chaoxue City and Qingcheng under construction. The high-ranking members of the tribe moved to the county town. Because he didn't have much troops, he didn't draw strong men from the clan, which was also regarded as Pang Tong's gift to this doomsday clan.

After the Ping royal clan was completely defeated, the Modol clan took the initiative to ask to attach themselves to the Ren clan. Pang Tong ordered the messenger to go to Yelang County and told the patriarch of this tribe and the others about the integration of the big clans. Soon, Lu Du, the patriarch of the Modol tribe, took the initiative to come to the county town of Qiqi with his family, and Pang Tong gave him a courtesy and rewarded a large mansion. Subsequently, the Modol tribe was also integrated into the Ren tribe. Some small tribes throughout the county have taken refuge in the Ren people. The power of the Ren tribe has grown unprecedentedly and has become the overlord of the entire Qiqi County. And because of his strength, fundamentally different from other places. He is based on the ultimate goal of equality and integration of all people. So this strength reflects the support and trust of all ethnic groups. This is a truly unified tribe from all sides, powerful and intimidating the surrounding counties.

The coalition forces of the expedition in Nanyu County were also shocked when they learned what happened in Qiqi County, but because it was only a matter of Qiqi County, they did not have many embankments, and they were bent on fighting back against Shu.

In June of the 10th year of the Yonghan Dynasty, Jiaozhou, a place on the east side of Qiqi County, a place that seemed to have been forgotten by the princes, was not considered to be rich and powerful in the area south of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, which was not considered rich and powerful. Shixie, who claimed to be the pastor of Jiaozhou, commanded 300,000 troops and gradually became stronger. In order to prevent the invasion of Shixie, Pang Tong took the initiative to send a good letter. Shi Xie replied with a letter, acknowledging Pang Tong's supremacy in Qiqi County, and hoped to make friends for a long time. From this point, Pang Tong saw that this person's ambition should be in the Central Plains, which shows that his ambition is not small.

Pang Tong learned from the ancient books that Shixie was shocked by the hundred barbarians, commanded Jiaozhou, and finally took refuge in Sun Quan. Shi Xie's subjugation of the hundred barbarians was to make all the southern barbarians obedient, but this was completely different from what Pang Tong did. Pang Tong's methods are more trans-era, more far-sighted, and more durable.

Pang Tong controlled the strength of his army at 100,000 people, which puzzled the other elders. At a party, everyone sat on both sides of the lobby according to Han Chinese specifications, and Pang Tong was on the top. Qingzun said: "Our strength can organize an army of 400,000, and we will soon be able to raise troops to conquer other counties." ”

Their thoughts are the same as many people here, except that Qingzun talks a lot and can't hide it.

Pang Tong knew what these people were thinking, he smiled and said, "This is not right. Qingzun didn't know why he got such a response, with a gesture of deafness.

"When you fight, you classify all the strong men as fighting forces at every turn. Use more than half of the strong men at one time. In such a situation, who is farming and who is doing the labor? This is a huge flaw in the longevity of the war. To start a big war, it is not a matter of a small number of people, the key is whether you have so much silver, so much grain and grass, and so many people to support you to fight. If the war is just blindly pushing everything to the front line to fight, it will definitely be defeated. ”

Everyone was moved. These are things they don't think about.

"It is most accurate for me to limit the number of troops to 100,000. Based on our population, our food, our prosperity. On the basis of waging war, the people must not be made miserable, otherwise there is no point in war. So prosperity is very important, and it directly affects the support of people of all ethnic groups, people of the Ren people, and we are supported by them. Don't forget, we defeated the 200,000 troops of the Ping royal clan with tens of thousands of people. So why for so many years, the south has been under the rule of the Han people, that is, it is too backward in many aspects, this is to be admitted. ”

Jin Beidao: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't believe you." ”

The crowd nodded as if to say, "yes, so we believe you." ”

The policies and plans implemented here by Pangtong have made the region highly prosperous. A large number of copper, gold, iron, and silver mines have been excavated, as well as many rare jewels. He had the people of the tribe make handicrafts, and the minerals were turned into jewelry. He traded with the surrounding tribes, and many of the leaders of the wealthy tribes were happy to spend their gold on jeweled bracelets and crowns.

In the past, these things were done by Jiang Wan, but Jiang Wan's sunshine is ancient thinking. Now doing it himself, Pang Tong has infused very progressive ideas and ideas into it, and the results are remarkable. In particular, he built his workshop according to the classical process of "filling steel". He made wrought iron refined into steel by carbon infiltration, and pig iron was turned into steel due to decarburization, and the production of steel increased dramatically. Steel, a metal of exceptional hardness, was manufactured and widely used in armaments. The soldiers were rewarded with these steel swords and shields. And the iron weapons were smelted away. Although some elders thought that this was too wasteful, and it was better to sell it to other tribes, Pang Tong said categorically: "The weapons sold to others are likely to fall on you." ”

The weapons of the Ren army are very sophisticated, which is no longer imaginable by the tribes of the surrounding counties. Moreover, the 100,000 troops, in addition to participating in some periods of farming, are only training, so they are a professional army. Unlike many southern tribes, the militia is mixed, and they will do manual work at one time, and they will be transferred when needed, and they do not know which people are suitable for what military establishment, and there is a lack of training. As a result, the quality of the soldiers is very low, and it is impossible to talk about the combat standard of the troops mobilized each time. And tactically it's like being blind. Pang Tong studied it, in the entire Qiqi County, only the Ping royal clan has books on tactics to store, and the other tribes are simply imagining that they are fighting, and they don't even care about the right time, place and people. Pang Tong once sighed and said, "It's too rough." ”

As the frontline of the war with Shu, Zhuti County and Yuewang County carried out a large amount of material support, while Jianning County and Yunnan County also undertook the supply of military rations. Since the Ren tribe who ruled the county was not one of the coalition forces, the southern coalition army sent a letter to the county town of Yongchang County with a letter from Yongchang County's Taishou Yonghong. Pang Tong received the document in the mansion and opened it to take a look. The content is probably the same as he thought, that is, to pull him into the coalition army, on the one hand, to ask for troops, on the other hand, to ask for food, grass and military supplies. Pang Tong summoned the elders and put the matter aside.

Lu Du, the patriarch of the Modol tribe, said: "I don't think I can agree immediately, and I won't not agree without agreeing, I can delay time." ”

"Now is a good time to attack their territory, and I can't agree to it." Qingzun said coldly: "Their house is empty, if we don't fight, when will we stay?" ”

Zhu Zhu of the Ping royal clan was captured by Pang Tong after his surrender. Because he killed his patriarch and his whole family to seize power, Pang Tong thought that such a person was useless, so he asked the Ping royal family to choose a prestigious patriarch by himself. This person is Zhu Ao, the leading general, and he is also a relative of Zhu Bao. This person was very grateful to Pang Tong.

Zhu Ao said: "You can agree first, and then snub them and mess with their morale." ”

"Well, not a bad idea." Xuewen nodded, "They now think we have value to use, so they invited us." We should take advantage of their mentality and make calculations. ”

Pang Tong unexpectedly found that Xuewen was still a bit strategic, and he said, "Everyone is right. Delay for now, and then wait for him to write again. ”
