Chapter 1001: In the Clouds
"The minister understands, the minister will do it." Deng Ai was ordered to retire.
Soon, nearly 3,000 Hun captives were dragged to the north gate of Yanmen Pass and knelt on the city wall.
Su Zhe gathered nearly 2,000 surviving civilians and summoned them to the city wall to watch the execution.
With an order, a hundred axe men took turns to drop their axes, and the three thousand Hun captives lined up to behead them, and the scene was not bloody and spectacular.
When the people gathered in the city saw this scene, they were all excited, shouting excitedly, venting their revenge.
Since the Huns stole and annexed the five northern counties, they have extremely oppressed the people of the five counties, not only by their own tyranny, but also by allowing those who have taken refuge in the Xiongnu to be powerful and wantonly bullying and oppressing the people of the five counties.
For example, in order to strengthen the city wall, Yu Fuluo almost requisitioned the people of Yanmen County and forced them to live, and paid the price of tens of thousands of exhaustion to complete the reinforcement of this Yanmen Pass.
It can be said that every citizen in Yanmen Pass has relatives who died at the hands of the Huns.
This deep hatred, they can only hold it in their hearts, dare to be angry but dare not speak, and now they see that the Huns who oppressed them have been killed, and the anger accumulated in their hearts broke out at this time.
"Kill well, kill all these Hun dogs!"
"Son, you are in the spirit of heaven Zhang Yuneng stared."
"Damn Hun dog, you also have today, this is your retribution!"
β¦β¦
In front of the city gate, the people who had taken revenge yelled excitedly, and the scolding resounded through the Yanmen.
Finally, the three thousand Hun captives were killed cleanly, and Su Zhe gathered the heads in front of the city gate for the people to enjoy.
Then, under the watchful eye of the public, he climbed the half-collapsed tower and looked down on the people from a high position.
Those people who had taken revenge, as soon as they saw the appearance of the Great Wei Emperor, they knelt on the ground and thanked Su Zhe.
Su Zhe took a deep breath and said loudly: "Listen, the people of the five northern counties, from now on, you are my Su Zhe's people, and your hatred is my Su Zhe's hatred, I hereby swear that I will kill all the Huns and avenge your hatred!" β
"Long live Your Majesty~~"
"Long live Your Majesty~~"
The people kneeling down in the city were moved to tears, and shouted long live to Su Zhe.
Su Zhe stood with his hands in his hands, enjoying the kneeling of the people and the sense of accomplishment supported by the people.
His gaze went beyond the ruined city, and his gaze had gone into the distance, following the direction of the Huns' escape.
In addition to Yanmen County, there are four counties: Dingxiang County, Yunzhong County, Wuyuan County and Shuofang County.
Once upon a time, the five northern counties were the fortresses of the Han court to resist the southern invasion of the Huns.
It's a pity that the so-called vanity of the surrender of the Xiongnu in the Eastern Han Dynasty did not hesitate to let the Huns cross the Great Wall and move to the five border counties, but in the end they became a wolf into the house, and these five border counties that had resisted the invasion of the Huns became a paradise for the Huns.
What Su Zhe has to do now is not only to recover Yanmen, but also to recover the remaining four counties, so that the figure of the Huns can be completely wiped out from the territory of the five border counties.
He let out a long laugh and shouted: "The army will rest for a day, and tomorrow we will continue to pursue, and I will drive out the Huns!" β
"Kill them allβ"
"Kill them allβ"
Thousands of Great Wei soldiers who survived the bloody battle, wielding bloodstained weapons in their hands, and the tsunami-like killing sound echoed in the sky over Yanmen for a long time.
That night, Yanmen closed into a sea of joy, Su Zhe had good wine and meat, and rewarded the soldiers of the three armies.
Yanmen Pass is the gateway to the north, and in order to fight a protracted war, Yu Fuluo has gathered a large number of cattle, sheep, grain and grass in Guancheng in advance.
Today, the Huns fled in a hurry, and these cattle and sheep did not have time to take them away, so naturally they all fell into the hands of Su Zhe, and he used these spoils to reward the soldiers of the three armies.
After a night of carnival, in the afternoon of the next day, Su Zhe led an army of more than 100,000 troops from Yanmen Pass to the north and marched towards the hinterland of the five counties in the north.
Yanmen Pass fell, Yanmen County had no danger to defend, Yu Fuluo did not dare to stay for a long time, so he could only lead his defeated army and retreat all the way to the northwest.
The Wei army drove north, Lou, Yinguan, Mayi, Pingcheng and other cities, all the way to the wind and descended, without a fight.
Su Zhe didn't take ten days to capture Yanmen County, and the army entered the territory of Dingxiang County, and went straight to the county to govern the city.
Dingxiang is just a small county, with few people and poor land, and there is no danger to defend, of course Yu Fuluo did not dare to stick to it, so he could only abandon the county and retreat to Yunzhong County further northwest.
and retreated all the way north along the Yellow River, retreated to the county of Yunzhongcheng, relying on the Baiqu water as a barrier, wanting to block the attack of the Wei army.
Su Zhe won the two counties without a fight, and pursued all the way to the south bank of Baiqushui.
Su Zhe ordered the army to camp on the south bank, and sent troops and horses to collect and build rafts and prepare the army to cross the river.
Of course, Yu Fuluo could not tell Su Zhe to cross the river calmly, so he sent cavalry to inspect the north bank of Yubaiqushui, but there were signs of crossing the river when he found that the Wei army had crossed the river, so he ambushed soldiers and horses on the bank and prepared to attack it halfway.
Cloudsdale, the main hall of the county government.
Yu Furo was sitting high on it, taking a sip of mare's milk wine, and the word gloom was written on his face.
After this battle, his soldiers and horses were lost by more than 10,000, and now he has less than 50,000 available soldiers.
In addition, Hujiquan and Bu Dan were also killed one after another, losing their right-hand men.
The loss of troops was just enough, and the five northern counties lost two counties in one go, including the richest Yanmen County.
The losses have been so heavy that it is no wonder that Yuvro can be in a good mood.
"Da Danyu doesn't have to be discouraged, as long as we can resist the Baiqu water and block the Wei army from crossing the river, we can hold the clouds and fall into a stalemate with the Su thief again."
"Now that the early spring has passed, the spring rain will soon fall, the Taihang Mountain Road is muddy, Su Zhe's grain and grass transportation is inconvenient, sooner or later he has to withdraw his troops, and when the time comes, Da Dan Yu will go south, and I am afraid that I will not be able to recover the lost land."
A middle-aged scribe smiled and comforted Yu Fuluo, who was Du Ji.
Ivro's face improved slightly.
At this time, Wang Ji said: "Baiqushui is not a big water, our cavalry is also limited, there is no way to monitor everywhere, the Su thief can use the strategy of striking east and west to smuggle across Baiqushui, as long as he can successfully cross the river, when the time comes, the god thunder cannon will bombard, with the city wall in the clouds, it is still unknown whether he can bear it." β
Yu Fuluo's heart was shocked, and he shivered behind his back, and looked at Jia Kui anxiously, seeking a way to deal with it.
After all, by this time, Yu Fuluo had lost his sense of proportion, and he could only rely on Jia Kui's wisdom.
Jia Kui pondered for a long time and said silently: "So far, this is the only way to use this plan." β
