Chapter 971: Ruyang's Firelight
The thief came back after fastening his belt, with the loneliness of Chengzhou City behind him, and the coaxing and roaring of his subordinates in front of him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, the peasants of the Lu State in the army smiled shyly for a while and then stopped, and some people looked at the city head worriedly, after all, the Lu State is equivalent to a small Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the culture is relatively conservative, although they have been active a lot under the rule of the Zhao family over the years, but the awe for the superior is deeply rooted in their hearts.
Those who came from thieves were accustomed to the actions of the thieves, laughing and scolding, shouting, "Great! "There are even people who want to follow suit.
But Wang Sunsheng and the prison army stopped them, and when the thieves approached, Wang Sunsheng looked at him seriously: "The generals can know that Qin Mugong sent three generals to attack Zheng back then, and the Qin army passed through the north gate of Zhou, and the march was not wearing armor, and there were also scholars who played super-riding to show off their strength, so Zhou Wangsun Man said, Qin Shi is rude, what to do if you are not defeated!" So the Qin division really had a fiasco in the battle of Kun. Today's army general drowned in the east gate of Chengzhou, rude to the extreme, not only will lay hidden dangers for our trip, if it angers the Zhou people, causing the Zhou room to be biased, what should we do? ”
The thief disagreed: "The Zhou people are all eggless cowards, and there is no news in the city, so don't worry." ”
Liu Xia is the son of the noble Liu Xia clan, not allowed to secular etiquette, especially the most hated princes and magnates, he was rampant in the world, invading the princes, never put these meat eaters in his eyes, even if Cheng Zhou was named at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he was also passing by an ant nest.
And in the final analysis, although he was defeated by Zhao Wuxian and lost Da Yeze, as long as he left alone, it was not difficult to go to Chu and Qi to gather a group of poor brothers, crisscrossing the mountains and seas, and he was unrestrained, but why did he surrender to the Zhao family. Willing to be his eagle dog?
This is not as simple as being reluctant to abandon his group of thieves.
The thief has never talked about it, the reason why he descended to Zhao is mainly because Zhao Wuxian is different from other meat eaters, he is in a high position, but he can stand on the same line with the people of the army, and when he fights against Qi and Sanhuan, he has the momentum of daring to pull the prince off the carriage and let them gnaw a mouthful of mud on the ground!
After so many years, can the thief still not know the virtues of those people? Most of them are some rats who rely on the people's fat and ointment to survive, they are conceited, arrogant, extravagant, greedy and arrogant, parasitic on their respective territories, and force the people under their rule to live.
Similar people, when he was a robber, he saw one and killed another, but after all, it was a small fight.
But over the years with the Zhao family, the thieves don't know how many cities they have conquered, how many doctors they have killed, and how many princes and princes have died tragically. This is what he can't do when he is a small thief, only a thief like Zhao Wuxian can do what the thief wants to do but can't: destroy the order of the world, and destroy all those bullshit Zhou rituals!
As for how Zhao Wuxian will rebuild after the destruction, it is not a matter of stealing, Ji Ran and the others will naturally have a strategy in their chests, what he pursues is the pleasure of destroying the order, and the revenge of the entire Zhou Rite system.
The army gradually moved away, and the thief looked back at Wangcheng and Cheng Zhou, and secretly thought: "These descendants of the Zhou family are the most corrupt and incompetent among the nobles in the world, and this Cheng Zhou should have been destroyed a long time ago." My pee is just the beginning. Wait and see, after our defeat this time, it won't take a few years for Zhao Qing to be able to point his sword at Zhou, and then I can still be his pawn, sweeping away the dregs of the city and making Zhou Tianzi lose face! “
……
In that year, Zigong lobbied Zheng Guo to attack the land of Rushui Yiluo, and tried his best to make Yiluozhi a strategic place: when the three crows came out of the south, they would take the back of the city of Wanye Fangcheng; The north head of Yique, the chest of the week; The west refers to the Kuihan, and the momentum outside the river moves; Looking east of Yingchuan, Xinzheng is in danger.
A few years ago, Zheng and Chu divided the Barbarian sub-kingdom with Rushui as the boundary, and established three east-west cities in the Yiluo region, including Ruyang, Luhun, and Yin, forming a long and narrow territory. As a result, he was condescending and gained the first hand against the Han River and Luoyang.
The reason why the Han clan was defeated so quickly under the attack of the tripartite alliance this time also had a lot to do with the fact that Zheng Guo's commander You led the army directly from this road to go deep beyond the river.
But similarly, in the eyes of the thieves, Zheng Guo's narrow territory surrounded Chengzhou from the south, posing a direct threat to Luoyang, and they would also be exposed to attacks from Luoyang from the south.
The thief led the Zhao army to take such a route, and continued to travel south after passing through Chengzhou, camped in Yique at night, and went up the Yishui River on the second day, marching continuously for dozens of miles, and walked to the border of Zhou-Zheng.
On the third day, they suddenly appeared in the north of Ruyang City.
The entire strength of Zheng Guo was about four armies, which were divided into two after the start of the war, and the two armies stayed in the country to guard against Zhao and Song, while the remaining two armies marched west under the leadership of You Su to cooperate with Qin Wei to attack Han, relatively speaking, Ruyang and other places in the middle were relatively empty.
But this city is also a transit point for Zheng Guo's supplies and reinforcements to go west, and countless grains are piled up here.
Looking at Ruyang under the heavy night, the thief couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as the intelligence said, because it was only hastily built in recent years, many walls in Ruyang are still wooden, even if some places are rammed earth, but it is not high.
However, Zheng Guoren should have received the news, and the city head is arranging troops in a panic.
Wang Sunsheng asked, "Our whereabouts have been exposed, do the generals still want to attack?" “
The thief was very confident: "There are only a thousand people defending the city, and it can be broken in one night." “
This kind of work of robbing houses and houses at night is what he is best at, not to mention that this time the army also carries simple ballistas, which are enough to sweep away the enemies in the city. In his opinion, this is a meat bone that is easy to gnaw.
After more than 10,000 people of the Zhao army rested and cooked in an orderly manner, they lit torches at night, set up ballistas, and fired a volley of rockets to start the attack.
Zheng Guoren's archers could not raise their heads to fight back under the bombardment of ballistas, and after a night of fierce fighting, by dawn, several wooden walls had been burned. The Zhao army relied on the large number of people, and immediately rushed to kill the near, the tall Lu foot soldiers advanced with shields, and the rest of the people followed, desperately rushing to kill, and it took less than an hour to capture Ruyang.
After breaking through Ruyang, the thieves rode into the city on horseback, and after clearing the remnants of the enemy, they found a large number of mountains of grain and forage in the city, as well as utensils and baggage. After giving the soldiers a good meal and leaving some of the marching rations, he lit a fire and burned all the rations.
When the corn was burned, it exuded a strong grain fragrance, and everyone was a little reluctant, but the thieves told them that after the Jin army defeated the Chu army in the Battle of Yanling, they also ate grain for three days, and then burned all the rest, and did not bring a grain to their homes.
Only in this way can the morale of the Zheng people and their determination to fight be dealt the greatest blow.
Now that the grain and grass have been burned, the Zheng soldiers who are attacking the Han River in the west will be sad, although the Han family has already developed the area outside the river, but last year's severe drought, the grain outside the river was taken to relieve the east and east of the river, because it is not easy to feed the enemy.
The thieves took the defeat of the Chu people as an example, but Sun Sheng, the king of Chu, had no objections, and when the city of Ruyang was full of fire, he climbed the southern wall, trying to see the situation on the other side of the river.
But the city was so smoky that he couldn't see clearly, and he rubbed his eyes, and tears came out of his eyes.
It used to be a barbarian country, and after Zheng Chu divided it, it became Ruyin County of Chu State.
Ruyang and Ruyin are only separated by a Ru water.
Wang Sunsheng has never returned to Chu since he was an infant, and at this moment, for him, nostalgia is a shallow bay of Rushui, he is at this end, and Jing Chu is at that end.
Jingshan, Fangcheng, Hanshui, Yunmengze......
He had never felt it so strongly, as if he could feel that the heroic spirits of the ancestors were calling for him from there.
However, this feeling was soon interrupted by the summons of the thief, and by the time Wang Sunsheng passed, the thief had already asked the soldiers to pack their bags and prepare to open again.
"Our next stop is Lu Hun."
"The general will fight wherever he says!" The thief proved the feasibility of this strategy with his ferocious play, and Zhao Jun's fighting spirit was very high at this time.
But this also meant that Wang Sunsheng had to move away from his hometown, but when he left Ruyang, he did not look back to see the "Chu State" on the other side of the Rushui.
"That's not my home." He thought that his family had begun to fluctuate from the moment Prince Jian was in exile, and the current state of Chu was the kingdom of King Chu Zhao, who was attached to Prince Jian and Wang Sun Sheng, and could not tolerate him at all.
What he didn't know was that after hearing the light of Ruyang's fire, the county officials of Ruyin in Chu State frowned and looked at it all night, and had already reported the matter to Ye Gong who was stationed in Wan and Ye.
Wang Sunsheng, that is, Bai Gongsheng in history, didn't know that he rubbed shoulders with the biggest enemy of fate, Ye Gongzigao......
……
Lu Hun Rong is another part of Yun surnamed Rong, their hometown is in the far west, in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, under the pressure of the Qin State, moved into the upper reaches of Yiluo, more than 30 years ago, the Jin State to the name of the sacrifice to the Santu Mountain, secretly followed the army, Lu Hun Rong exterminated. After the death of the country, Lu Hun was gradually organized into households, and the remnants were either Huaxia or as a good type of conscription, and took refuge everywhere between Qin, Jin, Zheng, Zhou, and Chu.
The thieves even recruited some Lu Hun people who had milk and mothers along the way, and with the help of their familiarity with the characteristics of the mountain road, they broke through the empty garrison of Lu Hun City.
In the dangerous mountain city, another deployment meeting was held.
The thief pointed to the map for the generals to watch, Lu Hun City is located at the eastern foot of Bear's Ears Mountain, the northern foot of Funiu Mountain, the west foot of Waifang Mountain (Song Mountain), surrounded by three mountains, and Yishui is racing.
If Ruyang City, located on the north bank of Rushui, is an important place for Zheng people's grain, then Lu Hun is the only way for Zheng Guo's reinforcements to go west.
"After Lu Hun, the army will go to the underworld with me, but someone must stay to guard Lu Hun, and we must not let Zheng Guoren pass by a single soldier!"
The thief looked at the generals, and finally fixed his eyes on Wang Sunsheng's face, revealing a smile that he was determined to win: "Wang Sun, I heard that you have a grudge against Zheng Ren to kill your father?" ”
