Chapter 396: After the Praying Mantis, there is always a yellow finch
The situation in Liucheng changed and changed again. One mess, another mess. Inside and outside the palace, they attacked and killed each other, and after the lives were gone, and after the blood was exhausted, the end of Wuhuan was decided. This time, the Zhao army was fully prepared, and it was completely aimed at completely eliminating the Zhao forces of the Wuhuan tribes.
The first to be broken was the Wuhuan army outside the city, after the battle, Zhao Yun led the army into the city quickly, and cooperated with the "friendly army" in the city to kill all the unsubordinate. Su Muyan's strength is actually not weak, but unfortunately his adaptability is too poor, from great joy to great sorrow, his mind was shaken at the first time.
He has always been jealous and afraid of Zhao Jun in his heart, and the big movements inside and outside the palace city made him frightened. In the palace, the army was frustrated, attacked by the Zhao army, and fled out of the palace in embarrassment.
And in the city, the Wuhuan people, who had already been subdued by the Zhao army, plus some leaders who saw the opportunity, also purposefully and mercilessly waved their swords at the same clan and clan. Su Muyan still couldn't escape in the end, and he was hacked to death with a knife just like the fate of Nanlou and Wuyan.
Until the evening, the situation in Liucheng stabilized, Wuhuan was completely injured, the original upper-class nobles, except for those who surrendered early, were almost slaughtered, even if the "battlefield uprising", could not escape the end of death. With the last Wuhuan soldier laying down his weapons and prostrate on the ground, the Zhao army completely completed the control of Liucheng.
At this time, Wuhuan was much weaker in nomadism, and Liucheng had already become the heart of the Wuhuan people under the determined reform of Bang Dun. With the royal city in hand, the entire Wuhuan is in sight.
"Zi Tai Gong!" After arranging the city defense, Zhao Yun entered the palace briskly to see Tian Chou, wanting to discuss the aftermath with him. He was in a good mood after a successful battle.
Follow Zhang He for many years, he has become his right-hand man, these years in Youzhou, he has made a lot of military achievements, and the reputation of General Baima is also loud enough, close to Gongsun Zhan of the year. In terms of reputation and word of mouth, to a certain extent, it is even more than Gongsun.
Yuan Shao claimed that the emperor founded the country, and he intended to recruit the famous Zhao Yun into the court as the general of the forbidden palace, but Zhao Yun politely refused. Yuan Shao was in a good mood at the time and smiled, but he was still promoted to his position. Now he is the general of Zhenwu of Zhao State, and he is also the commander of the right Beiping Commander, and he is the Marquis of Guan.
Tian Chou is counting the palace treasury with some subordinates, gathering the wealth of the entire tribe in Liucheng, and now it has completed the Zhao State. The harvest is really a lot, gold, jade, silk cloth, grain, see the field and the eyes are shining. Collect the wealth of Wuhuan and use it for the people of Youzhou, and the rapid recovery and development of Youzhou should be more confident.
Interestingly, a large number of Yuan Shao's treasures that have been rewarded to Bandun over the years have been discovered, and now they have also been returned to their original owners.
"General Zilong!" Tian Chou responded with a smile and led Zhao Yun to the main hall: "Come, you and I will sit on the ground!"
There was still blood stains on the Wuhuan people's body, so naturally he didn't care about anything, so he lifted his skirt and sat side by side with Tian Chou on the stone steps. A beckoned, and the restrained Lou Ban was called to him.
This time, the two were ordered by the state government to jointly preside over the Wuhuan affair. In terms of title, Zhao Yun is not inferior to Tian Chou, but Zhao Yun also respects Tian Chou's ability and prestige, so he took the initiative to deputy.
"General Zilong, the situation in the city has stabilized!" Looking at Zhao Yun, Tian Chou's tone was full of affirmation.
Zhao Yun arched his hand and replied: "The stubborn people led by Su Muyan were all killed by our army. The whole city is under the control of our army, please rest assured! ”
"General Zilong's ability, I naturally believe it!" Tian Chou nodded, and then said solemnly: "The Wuhuan people of Liucheng, after this chaos, people's hearts will inevitably be unstable. This time, we are here to turn Hu into Zhao, as long as they are not hostile and do not cause chaos, and try to minimize killing! ”
When Tian Chou said this, he also saw the effect of the perennial Zhao State's continuous assimilation of the Wuhuan tribesmen, otherwise, it would only be killed until everyone surrendered in fear. For people like Su Fuyan, Tian Chou did not show softness.
"The last general understands!" Zhao Yun bowed: "One day of turmoil, the people in the city and the surrounding Wuhuan tribe, five or six out of ten people scattered."
Before Zhao Yun finished speaking, Tian Chou understood what he meant, and immediately looked at Lou Ban: "Just trouble Shan Yu, assist our army to appease the Wuhuan troops to come to Liucheng." ”
Facing Tian Chou's gaze, to this point, Lou Ban dared to say a word, sighed slightly in his heart, and gave up his orders.
"This time, Shan Yu took the initiative to lead the Wuhuan tribe to submit to my Da Zhao, and there will be a follow-up. Tian Yuanjun and General Zhang presented to His Majesty, there will be a heavy reward for you, at least you will not lose the position of the marquis, and he will enjoy the glory forever in Zhiye! He looked at Lou Ban with a smile.
With a wry smile on his face, Lou Ban saluted Tian Chou and left with Zhao Yun. Lou Ban, with his identity, can play a big role in stabilizing the hearts of the Wuhuan people for Zhao Jun.
"Write a book on the situation in Liucheng as soon as possible, and report the flying horse to the state capital!" After pondering for a while, Tian Chou instructed the subordinate officials beside him.
The sunset is slanting westward, looking up at the gorgeous sunset on the horizon, Tian Chou's expression is relaxed, this action is smooth and unexpected, like God's help, this is the will of God in Zhao!
Eliminated Su Fuyan and other Wuhuan leaders, just when Tian Chou and Zhao Yun were preparing to fully receive the Wuhuan troops and digest the fruits of this victory, bad news came from the east, which caught Zhao Jun off guard.
Liaodong Yan Wang Gongsun Du Shizi Gongsun Kang led a heavy army into western Liao, wantonly attacked the Wuhuan tribe in the east, the advantage of the military peak, invincible, countless descenders, pointing to Yangle, this is to pick peaches. It was so coincidental that it was obviously prepared.
made Tian Chou and Zhao Yun realize that they were not the only ones who did the yellow sparrow.
The eastern part of Youzhou is the most complicated place in the whole of China. Xia, Zhao, Wuhuan, Liaodong, and Zhu Xiaohu all faced the threat of Xia in the west and north, and Zhao's sphere of influence was previously as far as Liaoxi, and no matter how far it went, it was completely powerless to take care of it.
The place further east is the tripartite tilting of Wuhuan, Liaodong and Goguryeo, of course, Goguryeo is the side that is often bullied.
It has been nearly ten years since Gongsun Du took control of the counties of Liaodong, and when the Central Plains, Hebei, and Guanzhong were changing over the years, he was very low-key, shrinking in Liaodong to cultivate internal affairs, train soldiers and horses, and accumulate strength. Many scholars and people who fled from the Central Plains and the land of Jiqing to Liaodong were mostly used by them to enhance their heritage.
Invaded Goguryeo to the east, attacked the "Korean Peninsula" to the south, bullied the natives of the peninsula to the death, and occupied a large amount of land over the years. Under the rule of hundreds of thousands of people, there are more than 20,000 elite soldiers with armor. Seeing that the princes of the Central Plains were called emperors and kings, at the beginning of the year, they also called Yan Wang in Xiangping and placed hundreds of officials. However, due to the closed nature of the Liaodong region, it is probably in Liaodong to entertain itself, but in this Haidong land, Gongsun Du is really the master of the same thing.
Gongsun Du is also a hero, if you want to talk about ambition, he naturally has it, but his mind has always been sober. I don't know what to do to live in the Central Plains, and I don't even have the idea of invading Youzhou, knowing the strength of Yuan Shao and the strength of Zhao Jun, that is the existence that makes it difficult for Hu Xia to swallow.
To be able to occupy a place in this northeast region, call the king the ancestor, and inherit the Gongsun clan, he is already satisfied. This is also the reason why he has stopped moving westward in the case of not being weak in his hands over the years, he knows that Xia and Zhao in the west are by no means easy to mess with, once they fall into the whirlpool of the dispute between the two parties, the foundation of Liaodong is not enough to consume. The increase in age and the absence of ambition are also one of the reasons why Gongsun Du is complacent.
Gongsun Du is old, but his son Gongsun Kang is different, he is younger, more energetic, physically stronger, and likewise, more ambitious. Gongsun Du is in Liaodong, and he has almost reached the limit, Gongsun Kang is young, so he is naturally unwilling to be satisfied with the status quo, and tries his best to seek a breakthrough.
This time, Liaodong's army was the result of Gongsun Kang's vigorous agitation. Although Gongsun Du had scruples, he always felt that he couldn't provoke Yuan Zhao, and he thought that his position would always be passed on to Gongsun Kang, and it was not impossible for Gongsun Kang to try, even if he lost, he would not have to worry about losing the country.
The concern about the Wuhuan situation begins with the predicament of the Hindu Valley. If you want to attack Youzhou, Wuhuan is a threshold that cannot be bypassed, and over the years, the two parties have "colluded and acted in embarrassment". Gongsun Kang set his sights on Wuhuan for the first time, especially after Su Fuyan and a few people entered Liucheng with great fanfare, so that Gongsun Kang saw the opportunity and quietly moved westward.
It's just that Gongsun Kang didn't expect that Zhao Jun was also quietly arranging and had the idea of annexation to his ally Wu Huan. Surprised and delighted, when he learned the news of Liucheng, he did not hesitate to hide, and personally led 10,000 steps to ride westward.
In this Youzhou storm, there is a person who plays a very important role, Fu Luohan, the remnant of Xianbei who has lived in Wuhuan for many years. Even if he sent someone to inform Gongsun Kang of the Wuhuan news, he would pass on the situation from time to time.
Before the Northern War last year, there was a turmoil in Wuhuan, and Fu Luohan, who led the remnants of Xianbei to rely on Wuhuan, couldn't stand the invasion of Bang Dun, and brazenly led the crowd to make a rebellion. With the little strength that Luo Han remains, in the face of the Badun, Ben can't make any waves.
But he couldn't stand the Xia army who was about to move at that time to make trouble, Ke Neng personally led three thousand Modong Xia to ride eastward and dealt a blow to Badun. Although the Fuluohan tribe eventually dispersed, their people escaped, and since then they have hated Wuhuan deeply and have been operating in secret.
This time, the chaos in Wuhuan gave Fu Luo Han a chance to fish in troubled waters. Similarly, the actions of Wu Huan, which was annexed by the Zhao army, Fu Luo Han did not expect it. Before he could exert his strength and show his ability to "fight vertically and horizontally", Wuhuan was almost wiped out by Zhao State. That feeling of grievance made Fu Luo Han almost vomit blood, but fortunately, after so many years, the thickness of his face was enough for him to quickly return to normal.
Wu Huan was mourned, and the target quickly turned to Zhao Jun, and quickly passed the news to Gongsun Kang.
Gongsun Kang from the east really surprised Tian Chou and Zhao Yun, for Yuan Zhao, Liaodong has no sense of existence, in the past so many years, there have been occasional movements, and he does not dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi.
Calm down, it is a lot of nervousness, on the side of Liucheng, the Zhao army is only 3,000 people in total, not only to maintain the stability of Liucheng, to win the hearts of the people, if there is no external trouble, with the ability of the two and the power of Zhao and the cooperation of the "Wuhuan traitor", it is just a long time to digest the Wuhuan tribes.
But when Gongsun Kang came, the problem became serious.
"You can't let Gongsun Kang go! Otherwise, we will all give up! Zhao Yun's face was heavy.
As a general, Zhao Yun said to Tian Chou very decisively: "Zi Taigong, I bother you to stabilize Liucheng and ask for help from the west." I will lead the army eastward and block Gongsun Kang! ”
Without much nonsense, and without asking Zhao Yun's specific plans, Tian Chou solemnly bowed to Zhao Yun and said, "General Zilong, cherish everything!" ”
......
At the western foot of the mountain, the army has been marching towards the old city of Changli in the west, the military appearance is quite prosperous, the morale is not low, and the "Yan" character banner is hunting in the wind.
This is naturally Gongsun Kangqin led 10,000 Yan troops to ride on foot, and went north from the former Liaodong Shu vassal country, wanting to go through Changli and enter Liaoxi. This large area is the scope of the Wuhuan tribe's activities, and along the way, Gongsun Kang swept over, not letting go of any of the tribes he encountered.
This choice of plucking the goose greatly reduced the speed of westward expansion, but Gongsun Kang did not feel anything, and the continuous "victory" made him full of confidence.
"Your Highness, if you want to attack Yangle and Liucheng, you still need to wade through the water! However, Changli is built near the yin of the water of Chongqing, and our army can go around the yang of the water to advance! Sima Liuyi, the king of Yan, pointed to the west and faced Gongsun Kangdao.
Looking ahead, Gongsun Kang immediately shouted: "Order the three armies, speed up, cross the river and attack the city!" ”
Liu Yi was sent to assist Gongsun Kang this time, but unfortunately Gongsun Kang couldn't listen to people's words, and the previous advice to speed up the march and attack Liaoxi directly, Gongsun Kang didn't listen, so he had to slowly attack Wuhuan along the way.
Now that he heard that Zhao Jundong came to meet the enemy, he was anxious again, regardless of driving the soldiers to speed up, which made Liu Yi a lot of dissatisfaction, but he was helpless, after all, Gongsun Kang was the commander of the army, and he was still the son of King Yan.
But seeing Gongsun Kang's hasty order, Liu Yi couldn't ignore it, and immediately persuaded: "Your Highness, now that our army doesn't know the movements of the Zhao army, it's better to be careful." ”
"Are you afraid that Zhao Jun will attack halfway!" Hearing this, Gongsun Kang was quite arrogant, and raised his head and said: "The other army is only three or four thousand people, and they have to defend Liucheng and Yangle, how many troops can stop me!" ”
So he ignored Liu Yi and wanted to lead the army to the west. Liu Yi was anxious: "Your Highness, don't be anxious, now that you have missed the opportunity to assault, you can't rush to attack for today's plan!" ”
Where could Gongsun Kang, who was on the rise, listen to it and give an order directly.
At this time, Changli has been abandoned for many years, although it is called a city, it is dilapidated. In the sun of water, looking at the dilapidated land to the south, Gongsun Kang laughed wildly.
However, around the city, there are already fortifications of the Zhao army, and Zhao Yun led two thousand troops, wanting to defend Gongsun Kang according to the water.
Gongsun Kang wants to attack western Liaoxi, but in fact, he only needs to cross the Yushui, this area, the terrain is flat, a horse is flat, almost blocked by mountains, and you can take the south road and the north road.
Gongsun Kangruo listened to Liu Yi and tried his best to attack quickly, but it was not so easy for Zhao Jun to deal with it. However, Gongsun Kang's march allowed Zhao Yun to find an opportunity to build fortifications on the water in the old town of Changli.
"Your Highness!" Liu Yi still wanted to speak.
Gongsun Kang smiled faintly, turned his head and ordered: "Set up camp on the spot, collect boats for me, and cut down the surrounding trees to build rafts!" ”
Liu Yi looked at Gongsun Kang with some surprise.
