Hao Keji was the first batch of military supervisors in the Eighth Route Army, the first batch to be selected by Wei Xun to be a team supervisor, the first batch to participate in the training of the army supervision organized by Li Wenge, the first batch to participate in the actual battle at Luziguan, the first among the many army supervisors to serve as the regiment-level chief officer, the first to be promoted to the deputy lieutenant of Zhiguo, the first to participate in the training of the Liutaoguan military supervision class, and now he is the second person in the military supervision system after Wei Xun.

Because of this, the task of persuading the Yeli family in Chengping County to surrender also fell on his head.

He only took two personal soldiers with him, rode three horses and galloped all the way from the landing site of the Luyanshui beachhead to Chengping County.

Suizhou was originally home to some villages and towns, but since the occupation of the Pingxia Eight Divisions, these villages and towns with agriculture as the main mode of production have gradually disappeared. The large number of Han Chinese people fled southward, which gradually led to the abandonment of a large amount of farmland, and the surrounding area of the county was surrounded by pastures overgrown with artemisia grass except for the arid surface. Although the area occupied by the Yeli family cannot be compared with the Tuoba family, as the second most powerful tribe among the eight tribes, whether it is population, cattle, sheep, livestock, or pasture, it is still quite impressive.

Hao Keji passed through several tribes along the way, and the rough and slightly wild herdsmen looked at them with deep wariness, and these tribesmen were either tearing down tents or gathering cattle and sheep, tying things on horseback, looking like they were ready to migrate.

As for the reason why they were in a hurry to migrate, Hao Keji smiled bitterly - naturally it had something to do with his own coming.

As a high-ranking military officer, he was qualified to attend the high-level military meetings of the Guanbei Army, so the offensive strategy for Chengping County was basically no secret to this lieutenant.

Actually, as the first stage of the Northern Expedition. Suide, Chengping and Chengshang County, the three counties in the southern part of Suizhou, are basically the same thing, the strategy of the Right Route Army was carried out by dividing the troops from the beginning of the Mutu deduction, and it was the Duyu Marquis under the leadership of Shen Chen who drafted this battle plan.

According to this strategy, the Yan'an Regiment and the Fushi Regiment each drew out one infantry force to form a fine team to follow the caravan to infiltrate Suide County in advance, and the Zhejia Army transferred two battalions, and the Security Cavalry Regiment transferred six cavalry to form the Western Front Corps of the Right Route Army. Carry out a long-distance attack on Suide by land. The main force of the Kwantan Army, with the cooperation of the Xiangbing and Naval Barracks, went upriver along the Luyan River and landed at two selected landing sites. The two cavalry of the Yan'an Regiment were both ashore at Beikou, and were responsible for cutting off land transportation and information exchanges between Chengping and Shangxian; The two cavalrymen of the Fushi Regiment went ashore at the south entrance, clearing the towns, villages and strongholds in the south and east of Chengping County one by one, approaching the county seat of Chengping; Seven battalions of the Ori Army followed the Fushi Regiment ashore as the general reserve for the campaign. Always ready to go into battle.

In this way, the East and West Front Corps invested a total of one cavalry regiment and two infantry regiments of the Eighth Route Army, plus nine battalions of the Zhejia Army, with a total strength of nearly 5,000 troops.

And they are facing the enemy on the ground at the moment, and the Fei Tingjia can only fight with a thousand soldiers, and the Yeli family has 1,300 people. There were 600 Tuoba soldiers in Shangxian County, and the total number was only 4,000. Yinzhou on the northern front was only garrisoned by 400 Tuoba soldiers, but it had to face the military pressure of 4,000 or 5,000 troops from the Zheyang coalition army in the north, and it was impossible to move south. Therefore, if the main force of the Tuoba family in Xiazhou does not come east to reinforce the land. There is little suspense in this battle.

Hao Keji didn't know. To the west of Gyeongju, Li Wenge had secretly formed a Yeoncheon Independent Regiment.

Defeat the outnumbered with the crowd, bully the weak with the strong, and calculate with the heart, if this battle cannot be won, it is really too embarrassing.

As a matter of fact. When Hao Keji saw the city gate of Chengping County. His heart suddenly fell into his stomach, and a sneer unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The moat doesn't know how long it dried. It was no more than two feet deep, and there were no cables at both ends of the drawbridge, and more than a dozen Yeli soldiers were scrambling to pick up a few ropes there, apparently preparing to pick up two cables so that they could pull the drawbridge up.

The city wall is about one foot or two feet high, and many places have long been dilapidated, and there is a large gap in the southwest corner, which I don't know when it collapsed, and now the city is full of people, and a group of Han slaves are carrying wood, stone and sacks, as if they are ready to close this gap.

This Yeli family doesn't seem to have any sense of war at all, and they are so temporary, but they are afraid that the private soldiers with a total number of 13 or 400 have not been able to complete the assembly at this moment.

In fact, Hao Keji was wrong to blame the patriarchs and elders of the Yeli family, the nomads went out to plunder, relying on the strong cavalry force in their hands, and among the eight tribes of Pingxia, there was no family that did not cultivate weapons.

It's just that the party members have never been in the habit of guarding the city.

The advantage of cavalry is that it can quickly rush and maneuver, and it is extremely stupid to use the cavalry on the city wall as infantry, and only a scholar who has never fought in a war would make such a move that violates the laws of war.

Nomads were born in a war environment, and there were no such scholars among the soldiers and officers of the nomadic land.

Nomads have not defended the city for decades.

They have always been the only ones to attack and plunder the cities and villages of the Han people, how have they ever seen the Han army invade the hinterland of Pingxia to conquer the city?

It's not nothing, there was thirty years ago, but that was thirty years ago after all.

If the Later Zhou Dynasty gathered a large army to attack, in the face of the existential crisis, the Eight Divisions might repair the city wall and make a show.

That is, to make a show.

The war between Yixia, before the so-called complete sinicization of Yidi, rarely appeared in the city offensive and defensive battles.

The advantage of the nomads lies in the high-speed mobile cavalry force and the convenient and rapid tribal transfer and mobilization system, as long as the enemy attacks, as long as the order is given, the tents and supplies are tied to the horse's back, and the cattle, sheep and livestock are driven, and the nomadic population can move at any time. Cowering in the city and waiting for the enemy to fight is not the style of the party members.

If it is really the army of the Later Zhou Dynasty to attack. From preparing to send troops to the arrival of troops in the city, there must be at least three months to half a year of preparation and marching, and there is such a long buffer time, which is enough time for the eight tribes to hold ten meetings of tribal elders to re-reach a consensus on cooperation and assemble the army to clear the wilderness. The Han army marched into Yinxia, and they were greeted by an uninhabited land with a radius of more than 1,000 miles, a tribal alliance huddled together, and a cavalry guerrilla force that came and went like the wind. Fighting in Yinxia, the party has a home advantage, and basically can play wherever they want. You can fight whoever you want, and what the 50,000 male soldiers of the Later Tang Dynasty can't do, the Hou Zhou can't do either.

Even if the territory of the Yinxia states is lost, at least there is still the Tongwan City, which is known as the strongest city in the world, which is left by His Majesty Helian Bobo. It was a city large enough to accommodate a population of more than 100,000 and an army, and the eight divisions of Pingxia were only in their early 50,000s.

No matter how strong the Han army is. If we have to divide troops to guard the vast area of more than a dozen counties in two or three states, how many mobile troops will be left?

The main forces of the eight divisions of the Pingxia Army were gathered together, and seven thousand cavalry could be put together.

The 7,000 cavalry were on their own territory, they could come and go vertically and horizontally, and they could choose fighters anytime and anywhere, and the Houtang Army, which was invincible back then, was in such a situation that they met in front of the Pingxia Army.

Case. What is the significance of repairing the city wall and strengthening the defense of the city for the Pingxia people?

Even if it is to be repaired and defended as a strategic base, then the first thing that should be repaired should be the state city fortress that holds an important strategic position and toasts to the important strategic significance. For example, Tongwancheng, for example, Qinglingmen, these places are strategic points that the Pingxia Army has attached great importance to in the past 30 years.

For Suizhou. Even the county has not been repaired. The population is less than 1,000 places, where will the county seat of Chengping be repaired?

What's more, repairing the city defense requires a lot of manpower and financial resources, and the Pingxia Department has such a small population, all of which is used to repair the city wall, who will graze and who will fight?

Moreover. No one could have imagined that the Kwanbei Army's actions would be so fast and fast.

In April, Yanzhou suddenly imposed martial law throughout the territory. Luzi Pass, Wei Pingguan, were allowed to enter but not leave, and from that time on, the Eighth Department of the Pingxia Party could no longer get military intelligence from Yanzhou. The fine works that were planted in Yanzhou on weekdays were all trapped in the pass. The news could not be sent, and the scouts were sent out to inquire about the news, but it was impossible to openly attack the two passes, although the Eighth Route Army in the Cultural Revolution had not been established for a long time, it had successfully established its prestige. Last winter's great famine made all the seven small tribes understand the viciousness and cunning of the commander of the Eighth Route Army in Yanzhou. The Tuoba family, who has always been ruthless, was deflated again and again in the hands of this person, and thousands of people starved to death in one winter.

Fortunately, Li Wenge's attitude towards other tribal families was quite friendly.

The trade of Yanzhou allowed the Yeli family to successfully survive the famine last year, and although it caused dissatisfaction among the Tuoba family, the high-level leaders of the Yeli family agreed that maintaining friendly relations with Yanzhou was beneficial to the family.

The martial law in Yanzhou is terrifying, and it is nothing more than overnight.

According to the news from Gyeongju, General Li is sitting there at the moment, fully operating the newly acquired territory.

It doesn't look like you're going to turn your face and do it.

What's more, if Li Wenge wants to make a move against Suizhou, he will have to prepare for at least one to two months.

Although the ethnic minorities who have just entered the stage of civilization have some understanding of the intrigues and tricks of the Han people, they are still ignorant of new military concepts such as pre-war information shielding and intelligence fraud.

When they learned the news that the Guanbei Army had begun to operate, the security cavalry regiment of the Eighth Route Army had already galloped on the ground in Suizhou to carry out a battlefield intelligence blocking operation.

The warning news of the Han invasion generally returned to the tribal tent in Chengping County, and the content of the message was the same: they were coming, and they were cavalry.

As for how many people came, what kind of marching route was chosen, and where the destination was, Yeri Rongyuan and the clan elders did not know anything.

Almost overnight, the enemy cavalry activities appeared in the north, south and east directions of Chengping County at the same time, and the harrier scouts in the clan could only move within a radius of twenty miles around the city, and once they crossed this distance, they would be attacked, and even if they could come back alive, they would not be able to bring accurate information.

Only one lucky fellow approached the west bank of the water by a miracle, he was hit by two arrows in his body, he was stabbed in the back, and when he returned to Chengping, he had only enough strength to say one word: "Boat ......"

Within two days. The Noriya family was completely in a state of panic.

At this time, Hao Keji, the special envoy of the Guanbei Army and the deputy lieutenant of Zhiguo of the Eighth Route Army, came to Chengping.

"Our army was ordered to crusade against the rebellion of the Tuoba family, the army has arrived, and will attack the city of Suizhou Prefecture in the near future. General Li promised not to hurt any of the Yeli family and not to disturb the Yeli family. "It's obviously a persuasion to surrender, and it comes out of Hao Keji's mouth, but it has a different taste, but Yeli Rongyuan has no time to taste it. He was almost half angry at what he said.

"This is war! This is a provocation! Yeri Eigen shouted angrily.

"This is the last chance for your clan to save their lives and livestock......" Hao Keji's expression was indifferent, and his voice was not high, but he had a tone that was naturally unquestionable.

Yeli Rongyuan barely controlled his trembling hands, stopped this part of his body from subconsciously touching the knife, and said twitching at the corner of his mouth: "If I weren't Ding Lu of the Yeli family, I would have killed you with a knife at this moment!" ”

"Da Dinglu is a smart man. That's why the general will send a certain person, otherwise, when he enters the city at this moment, it will not be Hao, but General Li's tiger and male division......" Hao Keji smiled faintly. Unmoved by the murderous aura of Yeli Rongyuan.

"Li Jieshuai wants to find the bad luck of the Tuoba family. My Yeli family can make a way, and the two don't help each other, and other things are difficult to do! Yeli Rongyuan replied stiffly with strong anger.

"This is a war, Da Dinglu!"

Hao Keji sighed softly and shook his head, and took the trouble to teach Yeli Rongyuan like a child: "Da Ding Lu said lightly. General Li Da wanted to put thousands of elite soldiers of the Yeli family on his own grain road. This kind of thing, changed to Da Dinglu. Can you say yes? ”

"This is the bottom line of my clan, the Yeli family can be neutral, but they will never be coerced by the Han people to turn around and beat their former friends!" Nori Rongyuan's eyes narrowed.

"My great general said that there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests! Da Ding Lu don't have illusions, at this moment, my Yanzhou army has blocked the road from Chengping to Shangxian, and built a large camp thirty miles northeast of the city, the Tuoba Yilin in Shangxian County is now difficult to protect itself, the main force of our army has approached Chengping from the southeast and two directions, the herdsmen and the old and young women and children of your tribe are fleeing north in a panic, this time our army is dispatched, and the ambition is to win, Da Dinglu should know that although you still have some soldiers in your hands, if General Li is really determined to eat the Yeli family and slaughter 8,000 people, Da Dinglu can't be stopped. You may be able to hide in this Chengping County for a while, but those people outside the city can't hide. There were no three or five days, and the people of the Yeli family had no difficulty withdrawing in. General Li will wait for Da Ding Lu to reply tonight, and will never allow Da Ding Lu to drag on for three or five days-Da Ding Lu should know that without his troops, the thousand men and horses in your hands will be rootless grass and rootless trees, and it will be difficult to prosper in fifty years......" Hao Keji looked at Yeli Rongyuan with a smile in his eyes, and said naked threatening words in his mouth, but the expression on his face was extremely gentle and friendly.

"The Yeli family is never threatened by people...... "Yeli Rongyuan closed his eyes, and said tough words in his mouth, but his heart was cold.

If all the clans were slaughtered, the Yeli family's status as the second largest tribe in the eight tribes would naturally no longer exist, and even if Li Wenge did not attack Chengping at that time, it was a matter of time before the Yeli family was annexed by the Tuoba family.

It's just hateful, this hateful Hao Keji is not bad at all, the eight thousand people are gathered together, and it is too late for three or five days.

"If Da Dinglu is still counting on joining forces with Fei Tingjia, then don't think about it, Suide City, at this moment, I am afraid that the banner of my Eighth Route Army has been planted!" Hao Keji was still unhurried, and slowly pressed the last straw up.

"What exactly is going to happen to Li Wenge?" Yeli Rongyuan was ruthless, and his two eyes seemed to want to choose people.

"The Yeli family is still the same, but the clan soldiers have to accept the reorganization and jurisdiction of our Eighth Route Army, and from today on, turn their swords and guns to deal with the rebels who resist Wang Huadi's Tuoba and rebels......" Hao Keji sighed lightly, this errand was not too difficult.

Yidi is also a human being, and under the pressure of the soldiers, negotiation is just a formality.

Yeli Rongyuan laughed, his laughter was full of sadness and resentment, and he asked rhetorically, "What if I don't agree?" ”

Hao Keji restrained the smile on his face, and said word by word: "The Yeli family has crossed the Luzi Pass more than a dozen times, plundered our state and county, and slaughtered our people. These were originally the debts owed by the Yeli family to the soldiers and civilians of Yanzhou, and whether to repay them or not is all in the minds of General Li. Whether the general is a kind person, whether to be a friend or an enemy is up to Ding Lu to choose! ”

Yeli Rongyuan glanced at Hao Keji coldly: "How is your friend?" And what about the enemy? ”

"It is a friend, it will be a family in the future, fighting side by side with honor and disgrace, this world is the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the land is the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and if you live in this land, you must respect the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It's the enemy, then there's nothing to say, abandoning weapons and surrendering is the only way to live! Hao Keji said earnestly and seriously.

"What if you don't surrender?" Yeli Rongyuan leaned down and asked with his eyebrows upside down.

"My general usually says a sentence on weekdays......"

"If the enemy does not surrender, let him perish......" Hao Keji licked his lips lightly and said lightly.

Yeli Rongyuanqiang gritted his teeth and stared at Hao Keji for a long time, and said slowly: "Left and right are just surrenders, what is the difference between being friends and enemies?" ”

Hao Keji smiled faintly: "Naturally, there is a big difference, the enemy who surrenders is a prisoner, and the prisoner is not qualified to negotiate terms with my general." If you want to be friends...... After the extinction of the Tuoba family, the five counties of Suizhou, hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers, are the pastures of the Yeli family, and the general of my family is willing to protect the history of Da Ding Lu for the assassination of Suizhou, and the town is luxurious and extends the waterside......"
