Chapter 457: Fight to Fame
Lu Yi led people back to Yuzhong County, first treating the wounded, counting battle damage, arranging the defense of the county, and sending scouts, and finally counting the results.
The huge harvest made everyone ecstatic, mountains of heavy supplies, piles of heads, herds of prisoners, more than 20,000 war horses alone, hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, and those Qianghu family members, if sold as slaves, it was also a huge wealth.
Subsequently, Lu Yi sent out all his cavalry to recover the southern half of Yongshi County and Zuli County occupied by Qianghu.
All the Qianghu Xiaoyi were captured, and those who dared to resist were killed.
Han Sui returned to Hexi, still panicked in his heart, the Han people were scheming, and they only relied on 5,000 infantry as the main force to defeat his 50,000 cavalry, which was incredible, and the original Han people's weakness was intended to attract him to take the initiative to attack.
Those who survived realized that this should be a trap set by Han Chinese officers and soldiers.
Fortunately, the 30,000 cavalry he brought was composed of a part of the various departments, although the various departments were distressed by the losses, they were not to the point of breaking their muscles and bones, and there was also an advantage, that is, the Beidi Qiang and Xian Lingqiang withered in a battle, becoming the bottom force, and the right to speak was greatly reduced, and then they could only rely on him Han Sui to survive.
Everyone looked at Han Sui, and they admired it even more in their hearts, if they had accepted Han Sui's advice earlier, there would have been no fiasco today, and they all regretted it.
At the same time, they remembered the name of a murderous officer and general, this officer who frightened them was Lu Yi from Jincheng County, the Koji family has been in Jincheng County for hundreds of years, but they didn't expect it to be a family of military generals, no wonder they were so valued after taking refuge in the champion Houhou, because he was so powerful.
Han Sui sighed: "The Han people are scheming, if you can't compare, even if you can't reach it, we must avoid its edge, and then lightly say that the fighter will be killed!" He secretly rejoiced, fortunately, the Lu family took refuge in the champion Hou and left Jincheng, otherwise, there would be nothing to do with him now.
The blame for this defeat is not Han Sui, he has always insisted on the strategy of evacuation, and his military talent, you have already seen it, and now you have more trust in him, so they all responded: "Yes, too shou!" ”
The Han army only sent 20,000 troops to come, and they fell into trouble, and now there are nearly 80,000 troops stationed in Didao County. Choosing to retreat, avoiding its edge, and choosing a decisive battle with favorable fighters is the most reasonable plan, and now they realize the strength of the Han army, and it is not too late.
"Taishou, what should we do next?" Everyone looked at Han Sui anxiously.
Han Sui smiled and said: "Haha, don't worry, we still have two envoys from the Han government in our hands, which can come in handy now." ”
"Does Han Taishou want to accept Zhao'an?" Someone immediately stood up and questioned Han Sui dissatisfiedly.
Han Sui was bitter in his heart, he had long known that these people would never accept Zhao'an, even if they had just experienced a fiasco, they still couldn't accept Zhao'an.
The Qiang-Han war for hundreds of years has left the two sides without any trust at all, and all that remains is hatred, only killing can slow down the hatred, but stimulate the other party to greater hatred, confrontation, and it is inevitable that it will continue.
He had to change and gradually unify the absolute management of the various ministries in order to be able to resist the attack of the Han army.
Han Sui decided to retreat as advance, and said with a wry smile: "Hehe, accept Zhao'an? We have no way back but to fight to the end; If you are still self-righteous in the future, unable to unite as one, unite with the outside world, and be exterminated, it is a sure thing, the yesterday of Zongjian is our tomorrow, and no one can be spared; If you still don't believe it, then please be smart! ”
What happened to Zong Jian and his hundred officials had already deeply shocked these people, and the government's brutal killing of the rebels made them have no way out.
Someone said anxiously: "Taishou, we believe in you, if there is any way, you can say it clearly!" ”
Han Sui thought for a moment and said: "We can only temporarily submit to the imperial court, hoping to get a short respite, and the envoys in our hands, Huang Yan and Lu Yan, can contact the government to convey our intentions." ”
"What intentions?"
"Nominally under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, in fact it cedes the land and stands on its own."
The water and grass here are fertile and suitable for grazing, and all the leaders are reluctant to leave, and reluctantly ask: "Taishou, how much soil should be cut?" ”
"Hehe, it depends on the appetite of the champion Hou or Guangnian Hou, there is frustration with this "butcher" and the "madman" of Lu Yi here, we have no bargaining chips, it is better to test it first. ”
The leaders were helpless, their skills were not as good as others, so they could only temporarily endure in exchange for a chance to breathe, in order to make a comeback, so everyone could only believe in Han Sui, and he negotiated with the Han envoy and negotiated with the Han government.
Huang Yan and Lu Yan were imprisoned, and they didn't know the news of Han Sui's beating, but they only expressed their indignation at Han Sui's despicable performance.
Han Sui did not ink with the two, but handed them a letter, and then prepared dry food for them and the guards, and let them go.
Di Dao County, Taishou Mansion, Gao Shun and Fu Zhu are circulating the battle report sent back by Lu Yi.
"My lord, did you predict the power of Captain Koji to ascend to the camp first?" ”
Gao Shun said proudly: "Haha, raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the officers and soldiers who first enter the camp enjoy better treatment than cavalry, and the equipment is more expensive than cavalry. Gao Shun has read the battle report of Lu Yi, it is simply a copy of the battle of the boundary bridge in history, but the results are more brilliant than the battle of the boundary bridge, destroying the opponent's nearly 40,000 cavalry, and crippling Han Sui in one fell swoop, it is estimated that he has lost the strength to fight again in a short time.
He asked again, "My lord, how do you reward the captain of the koji school?" "Although Lu Yi is the captain of Huqiang, he is still under the control of Liangzhou Mu Zhou Fei and the military advisor, and it is also a matter of duty for him to ask so much.
"After the war is over, it is estimated that Han Sui will take action soon."
"Such a big victory, will the whole army report it?"
Gao Shun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, the whole army will report!" Our northern frontier is dominated by cavalry, and we must make all officers understand that the cavalry must be cautious against the neat and strictly forbidden infantry formation, and we hope that the whole army will take this as a warning. ”
Fu Zhu nodded and said: "Yes, lord, but it is not advisable to hype it up, otherwise the princes will learn the strategy of the infantry and the cavalry, and it will be unfavorable to us in the future." ”
"Hehe, this kind of thing, you can't hide it, it is estimated that they will know sooner or later, it is still a bright and bright report, and the matter of the destruction of Zongjian will be written to the court together, but the merits of quelling the rebellion of Zongjian will be divided between Shoucheng and Ling Ming."
"Yes, my lord." Fu Zhi is now in a high position, and he doesn't care about everyone's military exploits, what he cares about is the total combat merits of all Liangzhou soldiers.
With the deliberate propaganda of several states in northern Xinjiang, the news of Liangzhou's victory quickly spread throughout the country, and the battle of Lu Yi was also known to the world.
Previously, many people who were dissatisfied with the super good treatment of the Koji infantry also realized their mistake;
The governors also organized a meeting of officers to carefully explain the process of the war, so that more officers could realize that cavalry was not omnipotent, and that they must not be careless when encountering infantry formations in the future, otherwise there would be a danger of annihilation of the entire army.
The military advisor is even more unpredictable about Gao Shun's strength, similar to the troops who first ascended the camp, as well as the attack camp of the people and the wrestler battalion of Pei Yuanshao, the combat power should be comparable; As for the more elite trapped camps, they should be stronger; With this elite army, it swept through the Central Plains and moved easily.
Lu Yi became famous in one fell swoop, and the most regretful one is Dong Zhuo, Liangzhou Junjie actually became Gao Shun's subordinate, he has been operating in Liangzhou for so many years, why didn't he dig it out and become his descendant? So much so that it has caused the situation of Liangzhou people fighting Liangzhou people today.
