Chapter 484: Pang Rou
Although the reinforcements of the Han army arrived, the soldiers and horses of Xu Huang's headquarters, long before, fought with the main force of Xianbei led by Helian, and fought several times, losing nearly half of the soldiers, and now, the reinforcements who came to support were only more than 600 people.
Fortunately, Xianbei really infiltrated the Han army camp There are not many soldiers, with the increase in the number of Han troops in the local area, the whole family is dedicated to death, and soon, Xianbei entered the Han village, all of them were expelled by the Han army, but Duan Cheng strictly ordered to take his life, but Kebineng, who was strictly ordered to take his life, escaped.
"Duan Gong, the last general is incompetent, and he has not beheaded General Hu, please punish Duan Gong."
Xu Huang clenched his fists and pleaded guilty, but was immediately helped up by Duan Cheng and said: "Victory or defeat is unpredictable, there is no need to be like this." After speaking, Duan Cheng raised his eyes and looked at the camp, and was gathering to watch the thousands of Xianbei people in the camp, and said with a worried face: "There are a lot of Hu soldiers, I am afraid that the big camp will be difficult to defend...... Vertical shield, arrow...... Half a step ...... not back"
However, Duan Cheng had not yet given all the orders, he suddenly panicked in his heart, raised his eyes and looked at the opposite mountain, and his years of military experience made him immediately change his tone and loudly warn the Han army of all departments.
It turned out that the Xianbei people behind the camp were not discouraged after being expelled from the Han camp by Duan Cheng and Xu Huang. Kebi could consider that the Han army was defending and there were no arrows to attack, so he asked dozens of people to come with bows and ask them to shoot arrows at the Han camp as a test.
The result is obvious, after seeing that the Han army only erected a shield to defend and no arrows to return fire from the camp, Kebineng guessed that the Han army must have no arrow defense after the main force of Helian's attack and consumption, so he immediately ordered the whole army to have a bow Xianbei soldiers, one after another, a few people in a team, along the mountain road, after approaching the Han army camp, shoot arrows inward.
In just a moment's effort, the Han army that was blocking the big shield and other bunkers was suppressed by Xianbei outside with the bow and arrow in his hand, but the Han army suffered from no arrows, so they could only endure it as much as they could, but they had the slightest power to fight back. Of course, the good news for the Han army is that except for those who know the road of Baishan and some who are good at climbing the mountain with a bow, most of the other people put their bows and arrows and horses in the mountains and rivers before lurking in Baishan, after all, the road of Baishan is rugged, and if you bring more unnecessary things, you are likely to be completely buried in the ravine.
After a few rounds of arrows, Duan Cheng hurriedly asked people to clean up the battlefield, and at the same time ordered the shield soldiers not to relax their vigilance, although there were nearly 100 people on the opposite side with bows and arrows in their hands, but they could not relax, if Kebi could take the opportunity of the Han army being suppressed by bows and arrows, and lead the troops to attack again, at that time, the half hundred soldiers in the camp now will obviously not be able to support a few times, and they will be defeated by the large number of Xianbei soldiers, resulting in the loss of the camp.
Subsequently, Duan Cheng warned Xu Huang a few words, and ordered him to stay carefully behind the camp, but he was going to the Chinese army, he wanted to meet Fuquan and discuss the next direction of the army, after all, it has become a dead end to the reinforcements on the three sides of the Han Dynasty, and it is obviously impossible to defend it so hard, so it can only be surrounded by Xianbei people with the passage of time, and it must change its strategy.
In the distance, where the Xianbei royal court of Danhan Mountain is located, if Fuquan is here, for example, I can't figure it out in a dream, the first Han to take the lead in leading troops to Danhan Mountain is not the merger and Youerzhou closest to Danhan Mountain, but the Liangzhou army farthest away from Danhan Mountain.
At this time, Zhang Huan, the white-haired and seventy-year-old Liangzhou assassin Shi Zhanghuan, sighed behind the many bloody scenes left by Fuquan, the young man didn't know the severity, why was he so angry?
In Zhang Huan's opinion, how are the Xianbei people, after all, they were also the vassal army of the former Han Dynasty, and now, after capturing their royal court, they should naturally be treated well after being captured.
Use the sages of the Confucian sages to educate these rude barbarians, move them internally, and naturalize them after three generations, instead of using bloody slaughter methods like Fuquan, to deter them strongly, what is the difference between doing this and barbarians?
What's more, if you do this, it is easier to make Xianbei hateful, once you have the opportunity, you will still rebel, just like the Qiang people who gave the Han a headache decades ago, Duan Cheng killed so many Qiang people in Zhang Huan's view, it is all useless, although the Qiang chaos is quelled, but in the end, it is necessary to rely on honest officials, treat the surrendered Han people well, and make them sincerely attached, and after three generations, completely integrate for the Han Dynasty, which is the way for the Han Dynasty to maintain long-term stability.
Of course, if Zhang Huan knew that he did not use force to deter, but simply used the saint to educate, let it be attached, and accumulate strength, when the alien race three generations later did something in the Central Plains, I am afraid he would not think like this. Sometimes, there is no deterrence of killing, and simply relying on kindness and kindness is no different from raising a wolf, and the wolf is not a dog, once it is hungry, it will bite its owner back.
Zhang Huan was angry at everything he saw in the Xianbei Palace, but a young man beside him was not angry but happy, and shouted directly in his ear: "I never thought that 'Erlong' would have such ability, what a wonderful person, in the future, I will surpass his people and create 100,000 Jingguan to deter Zhuhu!" ”
"Nonsense! If there is such a murderous act in the future, I will definitely leave the house one by one! When Zhang Huan heard this, he was angry and scolded, and then said to Zhang Chang: "Wen Shu, if I die, he will act so recklessly, and you will treat me as a person!" Remember, ...... Ahem, ahem......"
Probably angry for a while, angry, and a little bad health recently, Zhang Huan said halfway, even coughed a few times, and the words stopped here, causing Zhang Chang next to him to hurriedly support his father, and hurriedly persuaded him, hoping that his father would rest assured, don't be angry again, and at the same time warn the young man to make amends to his father as soon as possible.
The young man was none other than Zhang Huan's youngest son Zhang Meng, although he was naughty, but he was also a filial person, seeing this, he hurriedly knelt in front of his father, and said softly: "The child is not filial, which makes the father angry, please punish the father." Zhang Meng knew that his father would not blame him for this matter, so he deliberately admitted his mistake.
Sure enough, Zhang Huan, who had only gotten his youngest son when he was old, heard the sound, although he was still out of breath because of anger, he still patted his youngest son on the shoulder and said slowly: "If you are sensible, if you don't learn what Fuliuchuan did, you will be very lucky!" 100,000 Jingguan, more than 100,000 people will die, too many killings, there is harm to heaven and harmony, for the people, regardless of Han Hu, are mainly educational, this is an important thing, if you are an official, remember! Remember! ”
"No!"
Zhang Meng, who had expected it, hurriedly echoed, Zhang Huan relieved his breath when he saw this, of course, he just threatened to drive his youngest son out of the house, but in fact, he was angry, in order to scare this young son.
Since Zhang Meng played a little trick at that time, in order to avoid the pursuit of his eldest brother Zhang Zhi, he made a detour, and after meeting Pang De in the county seat of Gangdao, he immediately marched and entered Ji County, Hanyang County, where the Liangzhou Thorn History Department is located, to join the army.
Originally, Zhang Meng wanted to find his father Zhang Huan directly, but he was afraid that after Zhang Huan saw him, he would kick himself away, so he used a safe method to sign up for the army directly, of course, for the sake of safety, Zhang Meng secretly changed his age on the "biography", and even deliberately only said that he was a distant branch of the Zhang family and was of the same clan as Zhang Huan, but the two families no longer had much contact as a pretext, so they were able to temporarily mix into the military camp.
Naturally joined the army with Zhang Meng, there was also the Pang De who shocked Zhang Meng, since he got acquainted with Pang De that day, because Pang De was hospitable, and saw that Zhang Meng was young, but his temperament was extraordinary, and after getting the consent of his parents, he stayed at home as a guest.
Zhang Meng thought for a moment, then readily agreed, the two talked for a long time, and talked happily, fortunately, Zhang Huan doted on his youngest son very much, and he couldn't help Zhang Meng's drinking, so Zhang Meng and Pang De were on the wine table and had a good relationship.
When Pang De inquired and learned that Zhang Meng's purpose from Sili to Liangzhou was to go to Hanyang County to join the army, he was shocked, after all, even if Zhang Meng hid his identity, the fluff on his mouth still revealed that he was only twelve or thirteen years old, only a few years younger than Pang De, and now even this child has to join the army to serve the court, which really shocked Pang De.
However, the shock was shocked, but Pound laughed, the reason was that he was also preparing to stay with his brother Pang Rou, and after dealing with the trivial matters at home, the two went to Hanyang County to join the army together, and Pound practiced archery in the courtyard on a rainy day, in fact, he was just preparing for the army.
After that, needless to say, a few days later, Pang Rou came to Pang De's house, and after Pang De's introduction, Zhang Meng met Pang Rou, who was a few years older than Pang De and seemed to have good martial arts.
After some understanding, Zhang Meng learned that Pang Rou is two years older than Pang De, who is fifteen years old this year, and is the same as Pang De on weekdays, he is a well-known ranger in the county town of Gangdao, and this time he also heard the news, knowing that Zhang Huan recruited soldiers, thinking about making meritorious contributions and seizing fame, the two brothers combined, although the family is poor and has no money to buy horses, but they are ready to eat, and they can also rely on their feet to go to the neighboring county to join the army, and the trivial matters that Pang Rou dealt with are naturally to raise travel expenses and food on the road for the two.
Because the three of them had the same purpose, after a discussion, they decided to go together, and at the moment, after Pound said goodbye to his parents, the three of them went together. Although his parents heard their son's wishes for the first time, they did not force it, but just told him to be careful, and let him go, perhaps for these people in Liangzhou, the war has long been opened, because for this land of Xiliang, where the war gene is deep-rooted, if you can't farm, only by joining the army is the hope of revitalizing the family and getting ahead.
On the way, in order to express his gratitude to Pang De for staying overnight, Zhang Meng did not hesitate to take out the money he stole from his family, and purchased horses for both of them in the county.
In the Qin period, men reached the age of service before they were officially "Fu Ji", written in the roster, and the age at which they stopped serving was called "exempt from old age". The age of the first master of the Qin Dynasty was fifteen years old, the age of exemption from old age was fifty-six years old for those with titles, and the age of those who were "scholars" without titles was sixty years old.
The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the Western Han Dynasty followed the military system of the Qin Dynasty at the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, but in the second year of Emperor Jing, due to the increase in national strength and the great increase in population, the first Fu was changed to 20 years old, and it was changed to 23 years old when Emperor Zhao. After that, although the Han Dynasty experienced repeated turmoil, unless there were special circumstances such as major wars, most of those who could pass military service and were conscripted into the military camp were around the age of bundling their hair and crown.
Therefore, Zhang Meng, who is obviously a child-like guy, entered the military camp, of course, which is important, and he is not like Pang Rou and Pang De, although he is young, he is strong in martial arts. And the generals of the Han Army who hired soldiers at the beginning were not fools, so naturally they would not fail to see that Zhang Meng had done something to his "biography", and the reason why he ignored Zhang Meng's fraud was naturally because of Zhang Huan.
After all, although Zhang Meng said that his family and Zhang Huan are not close to each other and rarely interact, but after all, they are Zhang Huan's same clan, so naturally they can't treat each other as normal, who knows if what Zhang Meng said is true or false, if he is still connected with Zhang Huan, wouldn't that offend Shangguan?
Therefore, the general of the Han army hired Zhang Meng for personal gain, and in order to give Zhang Meng a position that had nothing to do with the same chief, he fell to his own military camp, and also merged Pang Rou and Pang De into his command, in order to make a good match, in case today's arrogant young man is really a person with a background of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
Later, because Zhang Huan's marching time was urgent, the three of them followed Zhang Huan's order to go on an expedition after a little training by the Han army.
However, during the march, Zhang Meng was still discovered by Zhang Chang, who had been looking for his whereabouts, because the general who recruited Zhang Meng into the army had already secretly "transmitted" the information on Zhang Meng's "transmission" to someone familiar with the Assassin History Department for verification and inquiry.
It's just that Zhang Huan belongs to the new official who took office, and the old ministry is not around, and there are very few people who can know Zhang Huan's situation, so the general didn't gain anything at the beginning. It wasn't until Zhang Huan got Zhang Zhi's letter and asked Zhang Chang to thoroughly investigate the army that he found Zhang Meng hidden in the army.
However, it was too late, at that time, the Han army had already gone out of the fortress for hundreds of miles, Zhang Huan would not waste time and manpower, and sent someone to strictly investigate and send his youngest son back to Liangzhou. After all, if the number of people is small, no one can be sure whether Zhang Meng will sneak back again, and if there are few people, the road may not be safe, after all, the Han and Xianbei wars together, the border county will be unstable, and no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents.
Later, out of various considerations, Zhang Huan finally transferred his youngest son's one thing to his side in the name of protecting himself, and put Zhang Meng under his nose to guard.
Of course, knowing the younger son's means of evading Zhang Zhi's pursuit, Zhang Huan couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, the youngest son's cleverness in evading the investigation is similar to the means of dark Chen Cang, but it is quite important in the art of war.
