Chapter 953: Breaking the Cauldron 6

Well, after dealing with this series of unexpected events, it's not all bad for me; At the very least, give me the appropriate excuse and reason to promote and emphasize in the army that friendly forces are unreliable and procrastinating, and belong to the object of vigilance and guard;

It is also enough to dispel some potential luck psychology and vacillating speculative stance in the military. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In this way, once things change and need in the future, there will be less psychological obstacles and ideological confusion when these former friendly forces are moved.

In addition, the execution of the city head in the name of revenge with his own hands is equivalent to letting Liu Yanqing bring those old departments that have survived, and call me a petition in disguise.

After all, after being stained with the blood of these friendly generals, it will be difficult for them to excuse and justify themselves, and they can only rely on and count on the protection of Huaizhen's growing power, and in disguise, the road in this regard has gone dark.

Of course, under Liu Yanqing's command, as the heritage of a veteran general's family, there is also a serving general and privy envoy Daddy to help and support, and there are still many ready-made backbones and manpower;

For example, after Liu Yanqing fell ill, the temporary deputy who was ordered to lead everyone to form a formation for self-protection, called Wu Phosphorus, was the deputy capital supervisor and general of the second battalion, and I was very optimistic about it.

It is said that he was born in the active Xishu Xingsi, and was later transferred to the Xiangfan War Zone, and was assigned to serve under Liu Yanqing, and then gradually promoted in a series of wars; It was also one of the several old men who Liu Yanqing specifically asked for permission and official documents to bring over after Liu Yanqing determined that he was transferred to Southeast Road.

When I asked Liu Yanqing's old ministry to take revenge with his own hands, he probably guessed something, but under the high-sounding reasons and the conspiracy that was difficult to disobey, he could only submit to this result and the fait accompli with a wry smile.

Thinking of this by chance, I can't help but feel a little self-sighing and introspection, and after staying in this position for a long time, it seems that my thinking has become more and more dark and utilitarian.

Not long after, when I led the troops into Hanjiacang City again without stopping, my mood was also a little embarrassed and sad to revisit the old place.

Because, just a few years ago, this was the final point of the right army of the imperial camp; And the harvest obtained from Hanjiacang City became a new starting point for Huaidong Town, which later supported the headquarters to fight thousands of miles and the road was blue.

Wait, I suddenly remembered something, it seems that there is a person who has been left in the air by me for several years, and has almost been completely forgotten, and I don't know if the disease has been cured.

The northern army in Hanjiacang City is divided into two factions of infighting, killing corpses all over the field, and some people are wantonly setting fires, and the smoke and noise are straight up and very conspicuous; As a result, until the Huai army under my command did not reflect and change until it was near, it was completely defeated without discrimination.

And the fire, which had just been ignited in the cellar group, was quickly extinguished, and it was learned through the interrogation of the prisoners,

The minority faction is responsible for burning the remaining materials in Hanjiacang City so that they do not fall into the hands of the Southern Army; The other faction spontaneously gathered nearby, trying to rob and divide the supplies in Hanjiacang City, and ran to other armies outside the city.

This is obviously good news, indicating that the Northern Dynasty still left enough supplies in Hanjiacang City to serve as our war trophies; In this way, I mobilized almost half of Huaidong's strength this time to maintain the long-distance expeditionary battle, which was not considered nothing, but had the first batch of benefits and inputs.

However, before my people could count and open the cellar one by one, new discoveries and reports were made.

The sentries who began to patrol found a large number of abandoned armor and cavalry under the northern city wall, as well as the ownerless war horses wandering between the northern city wall and the warehouse buildings.

Although some of the horses had already been stabbed to death on the spot, a considerable number seemed to have been hastily abandoned; Then they were hunted down and eaten by the intruding rebels, and all the rest were scattered and fled to the warehouse complex.

The horses seemed to have been hungry here for days, and their ribs were evident when they were so badly lost that the soldiers of our army found them gnawed up all the weeds and branches they could find on the ground, and tore at the tarpaulins that covered them and the branches under the eaves.

Therefore, when the auxiliary soldiers of the baggage team took out the hay bales and the soybean meal cakes with the ingredients, it was easy to attract these hungry animals to gather them, and then in the process of burying their heads in eating, they were caught by traps without resistance, and in the end there were more than 2,300 horses.

Compared to those armor that look quite shiny, I care more about these high-quality war horses that can carry armor and riding equipment and have experience in battle; Most of them can be used immediately after recovering the fat;

And even those injured or sick war horses, as long as they can be taken care of and brought back to Huaidong for breeding for two or three generations, they can further improve the combat effectiveness and range of activity of the Huai cavalry.

This also reconfirmed a certain possibility, maybe the center of the Northern Dynasty had already abandoned the city and fled, so even the Black Scale Cavalry, which was an elite unit and ace, threw their equipment and mounts everywhere.

Next, it is time to clean up and inspect the storage cellars in Hanjiacang City.

As the largest storage place in the capital and even in the Northern Dynasties, it covers a wide range of areas from north to south and east to west; It is divided into dozens of large building complexes, and there are more than 400 circular warehouses.

It is said that the large cellar can store more than 10,000 stone of grain, and the small cellar can also store thousands of stones. At the peak of the Taixing period, the grain storage reached more than 6 million stones, accounting for almost one-third of the world's official warehouse storage.

Among them, the vast majority of the cellars are semi-buried heap top structure, after digging the deep pit type cellar wall, dry with fire, spread the grass and wood ash on the bottom of the cellar, lay the wooden plank, spread the mat on the wooden plank, and then spread the mat after the mat is matted with grain bran; The cellar wall is also covered with two layers of mats and a layer of chaff, which is filled with grain, and half a meter from the ground is also covered with the method of "mat chaff", and then sealed with soil before it is completed.

Then plant small trees on the soil as a means of monitoring: if the grain is hot and germinates, the small trees will become yellow because the root system is affected, and they can be replaced or cleaned up in time.

And the exterior roof and entrance and exit have been sealed with mortar by brick sandwich wall and fireproof and moisture-proof treatment, so except for the northwest corner of the slight depression, there is basically no impact on the Yellow River outside the city.

Therefore, the first to be cleared out were the few warehouses on the south side that had just been burned and extinguished.

Among them, more than a dozen warehouses that were most seriously burned have collapsed and submerged to varying degrees, and only some remnants of charred cloth sacks or something can be turned out.

Immediately after being cleaned up, there were some chariot and horse components and corresponding wood, tools and other things, although they were blackened by the fire, although they did not seem to be of high value, but they could still come in handy.

Then the least affected parts of the storage are some relatively well-preserved rigging, wheels, as well as metal ingots and rough blanks such as iron, lead, copper, tin.

The luck of opening the warehouse was not so good, except for the occasional discovery of a few warehouses partially broken and leaking sauce and wine jar barrels, more than a dozen warehouses were opened in a row, which were either empty and dusty, or the grain and cloth that had been moldy and rotten, and the ashes fell down as soon as they were picked up.

A number of weapons and armor were found in stock, but unfortunately they were old and poorly managed, and even the leather lining and braiding tape, as well as the wooden shelves that were in place, were rotten, and the rusty metal parts were scattered, which could only be used for scrap in the furnace.

It was not until the fifth batch of cellars that it was discovered that several cellars, though not full, were more or less stocked with bales of cotton and batches of silk cloth, totalling tens of thousands;

Then in the last barn, there were already made jackets and cotton clothes, as well as a larger number of sewn boots, shoes, quilts and other semi-finished products, apparently prepared for winter.

But I never found that there was a great harvest of gold and silver, precious goods and treasures and antiques, and there was not much corn, beans and wheat that could be used ready-made.

At this time, on the water full of floating objects, a boat came bumping and bumping, and they brought news about the middle road Shuaiji from the south,
