In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of the Huai army's arrival in Huanglong Mansion, and in the gatehouse on the city wall, I was enjoying the local style food, the so-called five fresh risotto and beef eight kinds. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the name suggests, Wuxian risotto is made with mushrooms such as monkey's head produced in the local forest, dried meat from Feilong (tree hazel chicken), fish roe mixed with Tongjiang, back oil of hash toad, and crest meat of sika deer.

All kinds of umami mixed together, exploding in the mouth and penetrating the top of the head, making people have an endless aftertaste.

The eight kinds of beef are the general name of the eating method of the local specialty meat fat beef, including roasted beef tongue, roasted oxtail, stewed beef whip, stewed beef tendon, boiled beef tendon, boiled beef tendon, boiled beef tenderloin, red stewed shutters, fried li, fried beef offal, beef trotter soup, and so on.

In and around the city below me, groups of Huai soldiers were stationing to repair and accumulate supplies, while launching small-scale and batch-by-batch infiltration offensives along the confrontation line, encroaching on the opponent's control area little by little to increase the pressure, waiting for the next change and brewing;

Even if I regret it afterwards, what can I do, can the other party crawl in front of me and bite me? Thinking of this, I patted the three pieces of my face that was squatting between my legs to do the cleaning work, and signaled that she didn't have to work so hard.

"Report."

At this time, the sound of Tong Bing came from outside again.

"The Temple of Literature and the Palace of Learning, which are controlled by the Tutu Domain, have been taken."

"More than 600 were killed on the spot, and more than 2,000 households were copied and inspected"

"It has been sent to the camp outside the city as usual."

The predecessor and ancestor of this Tutu Domain, who is known as the descendant of Tutu Chenghui, the head of the four lackeys of Liangmen, was once an official to the privy envoy and was able to shadow a disciple, and opened a feudal domain in the land of Andong, becoming the source of the local Gyeongju Tutu clan, and was able to stand alone in the Yiwei Rebellion, and passed down the name and blood of the Tutu clan in this northeast corner.

With such a group of internal directors who are eager to invest in efficiency and performance, I quickly got the first-hand information on the internal structure and relationship of the Northern Alliance. The reality and defense of this Tutu domain are only one of them and the point of intervention.

The main thing is that the Xue Palace and the Temple of Literature controlled by them are all on the higher terraces in the city, and the height of the building itself is enough for my cannons to add up, and they can easily bombard the control of several other coalition forces.

In this way, whether it is war or peace, you can urge them to make a decision this morning.

With the gradual pacification of the rear and the extinction of the attackers since the beginning of spring, more second- and third-line auxiliary troops and husbands drawn from the south have also arrived on the south bank of the Tongjiang River, and joined the expansion and reinforcement of Huaide Town.

The final scale is expected to meet the needs of at least 5,000 to 10,000 garrisons, of which only one-third are soldiers, and the rest are auxiliary services such as the Jiansheng Army, as well as armed reclamation regiments recruited from the south by the Huaizhen organization.

In addition to the long-distance supply of gunpowder and lead, a considerable part of the daily consumption of materials, grain and grass will gradually be restored through the resumption of production in Liaodi, so as to achieve limited self-sufficiency and the mutual complementarity of nearby transmission and supply.

meanwhile

A light rider who was scouting westward along the north bank of the Mingtong River brought me some kind of unexpected good news, and they found a large number of cattle left in place in the large meadow in the northern region of the Nanshui (Nenjiang) in the upper reaches of the Mingtong River.

It is judged that it should be the rear team left behind by the defeated Yelu Dashi Division, because the defeat in Liao was too complete, and the Huai army moved very quickly, so these troops did not even have time to react, and still stayed in place to graze and wait for news.

At this time, a naturalized leader named Pu Suwan in the rangers unexpectedly made a contribution and played a huge role.

He used the captured banners to disguise himself as Sariya, a direct subordinate unit of Yelu Dashi, and used dozens of horsemen who arrived first to pull tiger skins as banners, driving and coercing dozens of times his own troops, so that they were ready to go south and not flee with their cattle.

Then, after a group of hunters who followed up on the contact, they detained the three minds of the remaining tribes together on the pretext of discussing countermeasures, and disguised them as a normal change of power and merger of forces.

It wasn't until more infantry brigades arrived that these feudal lords woke up from a dream, but they were irretrievable, and even had no chance to break up and flee on their own initiative, so they could only obediently capture people and animals.

There were also seven or eight thousand herdsmen and old and weak people who took care of and tended the livestock.

And this herd is full of **10,000 heads, at least one-third of which are cattle, camels and horses. Although it is inevitably a little emaciated and weak, it can be regarded as a great benefit for this dispatch;

As long as most of them can survive and regain their fat, they can be immediately put into the production and construction of the local area, or as seedlings for future agricultural livestock, and the population can be expanded and improved in two or three generations after reproduction and domestication.

The rest of the flock can continue to stay in the local grazing part of it, and part of it can be driven down the river as a meat supplement for our army, after all, it is difficult to provide a stable and sufficient source of meat just by hunting or something.

As long as these tens of thousands of sheep are reasonably planned and slaughtered and distributed, they can ensure that the officers and men of our army stationed in Huanglong Mansion will continue to eat meat every day for two or three months.

Of course, there is also not so good news, the remnants of the Later Baekje Kingdom are showing signs of resurgence in the places north of the Taedong River and south of the Yalu River. So this time it was the turn of the unlucky people, the local princes and feudal clans of Hwanghae-do, Hamgyong-do, and Pyongan Province, which belonged to the Silla domain.

The small and medium-sized princes in the Wugushui basin north of the Yalu River, who were actually protected by Huaizhen and paid for money, grain, and military service, also began to be affected and pressured by various influences and pressures, after all, as a long-term historical origin, although there was no lack of contradictions and disputes between them and the princes of the Silla Domain in Shuinan, they had formed various in-laws and blood ties.

Therefore, they were highly vigilant and vigilant against the existence of these traditional princely forces that had overthrown the traditional princely forces in the Silla Domain. For this reason, there was also a strong appeal and request to recall the sent feudal soldiers and civilian servants to be released, or to send an elite unit from Huaizhen to patrol the Yalu River coast.

Of course, at present, there are no troops to be sent on land for the time being, and most of the requisitioned feudal soldiers and husband servants are reclaiming and maintaining the situation in Liaodong, and they cannot be put back so casually;

But in other respects, it is not unthinkable, I have decided to dispatch two or three new water battalions from Yunzhou, where the pressure has been reduced, to enter the Yalu water patrol and drill after changing ships by land.

Continuing to tolerate the existence of these remnants is certainly an important threat to the surrounding forces or a heavy need to raise thieves, so that these small and medium-sized local princes can rely more on the protection of the Huai army and continue to be obedient and obedient, but they cannot be casually allowed to sit on the throne.

Especially Maitreya, which is easy to bewitch the people at the bottom, it is even more important to ban its poisoning. (To be continued.) )
