Chapter 305: The Robbers
In the hot June, Li Ang arrived at the river with 100,000 troops, and now it is called the border, although the Persians did not respond to the Huns' attack on the river, but the Persians still gathered a large number of troops on the border, putting on a tiger's eye, so that the original garrison of 60,000 Qin soldiers had to shrink the original front, hoarding five important cities on the border line, the arrival of Li Ang and 100,000 troops gave them a great morale, which is not only brought by the increase in troops, but more importantly, brought by Li Ang, the commander, As the first general of the Great Qin Empire, one can say that Li Ang is cruel, ruthless, ruthless, and even inhumane, but he has to admit that he is a general who can lead his soldiers to victory, and for soldiers, what they need is only a commander who can make them win and win on the battlefield, not a righteous gentleman praised by everyone.
The Daqin soldiers who were originally stationed on the Western Front, in addition to facing the increasing Persian army, also faced the many bandits in the border areas, but with the arrival of Li Ang, those bandits calmed down and no longer dared to make trouble, for these bandits, Li Ang's murderous reputation was too terrible, and the people who died in his hands were almost a million, in the face of such a killing god, if they still dared to do business under his nose, it was almost no different from looking for death.
As Li Ang's army marched in, those people who originally lived on the border of the Western Front began to be sent back to the interior of the river one after another, and Li Ang needed to let go of his hands and feet to do what he wanted, although the river had been in the Han style for 150 years, and nearly seventy percent of the people were no different from the Han people in terms of customs and language, but Li Ang still did not want to take the risk of those thirty percent. It's not bad though. Only a minority of people refuse to leave, and in the haze of war, few people want to stay. And those who stayed, except for a small number of people who were nostalgic for their homeland, the rest probably had ulterior motives, and for Leon who thought so, in order to ensure the whole strategy, he took strong measures to expel those who did not want to leave.
"I'm going to cut you with a knife. Treat you like a robber. "The soldiers of Great Qin are driving away the people who are unwilling to leave on the border line, in their eyes this group of people is simply too ignorant of current affairs, their marshal has already offered very favorable conditions, to go to the interior of the river, these people in the river will not live worse than staying here. If it weren't for the glorious tradition that has always supported these Great Qin soldiers, perhaps they would have cut down these noisy and troublesome river people to the ground and reported them as robbers.
Under the scolding of the soldiers. The team fell silent, and those people in the river looked at the Daqin soldiers with indifferent expressions, as if they understood their situation, and they began to obediently head off into the distance. Leave their homes. It has to be said that there is no killing deterrence. The progress of the fortified wall Qingye was very slow, Murong proposed to Li Ang several times to let his Tubo soldiers carry out this matter, he promised that those people in the river would quickly and completely evacuate the river, but Li Ang refused Murong Ke's request, he did not want the western border to become a ruin, only accepted more than half a year of training The military discipline of the Tubo people has not met his requirements.
"It seems that Murong still doesn't understand what you mean, Marshal?" In the handsome tent, Lin Fengshuang, who was dressed in military uniform, looked at Murong Ke who was leaving, and looked at her husband who seemed a little silent in the handsome chair behind him, as the overlord of the desert, Lin Fengshuang was much higher than many people in the overall situation, and she also had the talent to lead the troops.
"Tell me what you think?" In the army, Li Ang will not treat Lin Fengshuang as his wife, but as a colleague who can be discussed, because she was also killed from the sea of corpses and blood, if he did not appear, her wife would still be the overlord of the desert, and in terms of strategy, she is more courageous than many men.
"According to the general's opinion, the marshal will never act lightly before the general situation is formed, and the slow clearing of the walls and the hoarding of armaments, grain and grass are only putting pressure on the Persians." Lin Fengshuang chuckled, walked to the sand table in the center of the tent, looked at the Persians' troop and nodded, "Although Upper Persia and Lower Persia have deployed large armies on the border at the same time, the places they have chosen to be stationed are conducive to their defense rather than attack, which shows that they do not have the courage to fight our Great Qin head-on, and I think that the Persian lords must have been admonished by their king before coming, and they must not start a war lightly, otherwise they will never sit back and watch our army so swaggering to clear the walls and hoard ordnance, grain and grass." ”
"You must have heard the saying, 'The general is outside, and the king's order is not subject to it.'" You're only half right. Li Ang didn't make his wife proud, his voice that seemed a little too cold interrupted his wife's analysis, what Lin Fengshuang said, only said the middle part, he actually wanted to use it
People take the initiative to attack.
"Do you want to engage the Persians head-on?" Looking at her husband's somewhat grim expression, Lin Fengshuang quickly guessed, she asked tentatively, while Li Ang nodded and replied to her in a low voice, "If you want to make others obedient, you have to show them that you are far more powerful than them." ”
—
Listening to her husband's answer, Lin Fengshuang felt that she might have been away from the battlefield for too long, and she had forgotten that her fists were more effective than anything, and that Lower Persia would not rashly start a war with Upper Persia just because of the envoys sent by Great Qin, and if you want them to be obedient, you have to let them know who has bigger fists.
"Now it's up to the envoys?" Looking at the figure of his wife leaving, Li Ang muttered to himself, when he came, there were also envoys sent by Chang'an, who would announce the emperor's will to the upper and lower Persian countries, and the 30,000 Great Qin army would go to Longcheng along the Silk Road, as a vassal country, they were obliged to provide food and grass along the way, although the Persians and Great Qin were currently in a state of confrontation on the western front of the river, but nominally, the Persians were still vassals of Great Qin.
Li Ang felt that if he had guessed correctly, the Upper Persia and Lower Persia who had received such an edict would never obediently obey the order, and of course they would not start the war without authorization, delay would be the means they would take, and then wait and see the war between Great Qin and the Xiongnu. So the Persian generals on the border line became the key, if they did not attack, he would personally instigate an offensive, of course, it would not be a full-scale large-scale attack, everything was just for the sake of prestige, so that Upper and Lower Persia knew who had the bigger fist.
The night was already dark, just as Li Ang expected, the two main generals of Upper Persia and Lower Persia were itching in their hearts, as if there was a Persian cat scratching, Daqin's army didn't take them seriously at all, swaggering in the strong walls and clearing the wilderness, hoarding ordnance, grain and grass, and the convoy they escorted supplies was almost unguarded, although at first they also thought that this was a deliberate illusion made by the terrible commander of Daqin, trying to lure them, but as his scouts became more and more detailed reports, They believed that they had been despised by the man known to the world as the Demon King, and that there were not many troops near the several strongholds where they were hoarding weapons, and that the man had done such a thing to humiliate them because they were afraid to attack. Thinking of those arrogant Great Qin envoys, the lords of Upper Persia and Lower Persia were even more furious, but they were able to be selected by their respective kings to confront the Great Qin army, and they were undoubtedly truly talented, so although they were angry, they still kept calm, but they only sent scouts to continue to scout those weapons hoarding points, they didn't care about grain and grass, but Great Qin's weapons, especially the indestructible Qin crossbow, made them the most tempting, as long as they could make this terrible weapon, they would dare to challenge the hegemony of Great Qin, and this is the bait that Leon gave them, and although they haven't taken the bait yet, it's not far off.
Li Ang's strong walls and clear wilderness, although the local people have been cleaned up, but those bandits who make a living by robbing the merchant groups are still entrenched in various hidden places along the border, and the bandits are not all stupid people, many people see the opportunity, a good opportunity to wash their hands, most of them are optimistic about Li Ang, the god of killing they worship, and are ready to find a suitable time to give the Persians a few yin strokes after the war between Daqin and the Persians, as a posture of advancement, of course, some people want to take refuge in Persia, Because they themselves were horse thieves in Persia, and several of them and the Persians mixed in several bands of thieves were the secret troops of Upper and Lower Persia, and they kept an eye on Leon and his army at all times, looking for opportunities to establish their exploits, and Leon did not know them, so in the Western Front, Leon did not occupy too obvious advantages.
For the bandits in the river, Dai Hao's name is the code name book friend cameo is definitely a good master, bold and righteous, plus a little cunning, so that he has a great reputation on the western front of the river and Persia, although the thieves here are usually from complex backgrounds, there are not a few people with a Chinese name but with blonde hair and blue eyes, or curly hair and brown eyes, but Dai Hao is a complete Han Chinese, his Lao Tzu was originally a dart player, but he died in this place when he was twenty-three years old, So he should have inherited his father's business, but after avenging his father, he became a bandit leader, and he did a good job, ten years made him the number one person here, and he has a rule, that is, he will never rob the Han merchant group, which is worthy of his ancestors.
As a bandit leader, Dai Hao has always acted decisively, but now, he hesitated, as a well-known thief, his bandit horn reached the ears of Li Ang, and now this killing god sent someone to find him.
