Chapter 1137: Conquering Peng out of Hanse

"In the past, I used to be in the past, the rain and snow were falling, and now I am in the past, and the willows are still there. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Looking at the poplar tree that welcomed him in the middle of the road outside the city, Zhao Wuxian said with emotion.

In March of the ninth year of the Marquis of Zhao (480 B.C.), after arranging the spring ploughing, Zhao Wuxian led 20,000 cavalry from Hebei to the north.

After conquering Zhongshan last year and taking it as a county, a road was opened from Yecheng to Daibei, and since then, the army of the imperial court does not have to detour to Taiyuan and pass through Yanmen Pass when going to Daijun, but can go directly north to Zhending and pass the hill of poor fish. The time for the army to march was also shortened from two months to one month, which was a rare progress, and the significance of destroying Zhongshan was highlighted, and Zhao's control over the northern frontier had a qualitative improvement.

In this case, Zhao Wuxian's "pro-recruitment" is possible.

More than ten years ago, in the battle of destroying the dynasty, Zhao Wuxian's horseshoes traveled all over the north of the dynasty, and ten years later, he revisited the old place, and in addition to being surprised to find that he was a little tired of the immediate battle, he was also pleased to see that the counties of Dai, Hanquan, and Wuzhong south of the Sanggan River had gradually basked in the Chinese style. Although the contradictions between the immigrants from the interior and the local aborigines are still there, this time there was a change in the county, and there was no rebel in the counties south of the Sanggan River, but the tribes north of the Sanggan River that had been retained after the war of extinction were ready to move.

However, their reckless actions have been suppressed by the bullets, although the Zhao army was frustrated in the grassland, but the new child dog returned to the county with most of the Daijun cavalry, immediately launched the counterinsurgency work, and personally went to Tu He Bu to persuade his people not to disobey the prince!

Sima Xuqu of Taiyuan County also rushed to the rescue, and cooperated with Zhao Qi and Tu He to stabilize the situation in Daijun. As for the larger-scale rebellion in the west, it was also thunderous and rainy, and it was broken and sunk in Mayi.

"In that battle, it was really thanks to the presence of the princess, who shot and killed the Lou Fu warriors and intimidated the morale of the other party, and the Ma Yi guards were able to repel the traitors in one go." Shangjun Sima Youcheng was ordered to command 4,000 Shangjun Zhao and Zhai cavalry into the dynasty, and after the rebellion in the west was quelled, he immediately rushed to Daicheng to report the specific situation to Zhao Wuxian.

"If the enemy is arrogant, Shuoren will be annoying with three arrows, and the building will be annoying......"

After reciting this song of Ma Yi soldiers praising Zhao Jia three times, Zhao Wuxian was silent for a long time, and then said with a smile: "I never thought that my Zhao clan also produced a woman who can fight like a good woman." ”

Of course, what he actually wanted to say was Princess Pingyang Zhao. Zhao Wuxian couldn't help but see his sister's heroic appearance in military uniform, and he was relieved, but also a little guilty and heartache.

It turned out that after Ma Yi touched the hard bones, the various departments of Lou Fu, who were already disagreeing, suddenly fell apart, or surrendered to Zhao Jia, or fled in a hurry with his subordinates, or continued to return to the city to resist stubbornly.

How could Zhao Jia let go of this opportunity to beat the water dog, she suggested that Mayi and Shanxian counties send troops to pursue Lou Annoying, and hit Tongguo on the bank of the big river, where they received the post department going north. After a successful meeting, she presented another bold plan.

According to the captive, this time there was a rebellion in Chengdai County, and the tribe that took the lead was called Zhenling, which was a hundred miles away in the north, under the Yuanhu Mountain. The prince once said a sentence, it is advisable to chase the poor and brave, and now the Lou Fu Alliance is scattered, and the general should not be handsome and light to ride north, attack and destroy the Zhenling Department, so that the first evil of the rebellion can be eradicated, and it can also deter the Lou Fu Division, so that they dare not act rashly. ”

Although Youcheng had long heard that Zhao Jia was pampered and arrogant when she was in Yecheng, since she could win the hearts of the people of Ma Yi and keep the enemy out of the country, he naturally didn't dare to treat her as a little girl who didn't know anything, so he adopted this strategy and quickly went north when the ice and snow melted, and surrounded by the Zhenling tribe who would not be able to migrate in the future.

The total number of Zhao troops was four or five thousand, but the small Zhenling Department could not even gather a thousand horsemen, and they were immediately defeated and surrendered one after another. Youcheng has been managing Bai Zhai in Shangjun for many years, so he naturally knows what means to use to deal with these rebellious Rong Di. He ordered that before the Zhenling Department completely disappeared, there was no need to seal the knife, and a massacre was created at the foot of Yuanhu Mountain, and thousands of people died. After the deed, they used horses to pull down this city and burned it to the ground, completely erasing the rebel Loufu tribe from the map......

When the incident happened, Zhao Jia was watching from the sidelines, and did not stop it, but thoughtfully, and waited for the post to be sealed before proposing to adopt a restrained and gentle attitude towards other tribes, so as not to annoy all the people in the building and fight against Zhao Guo with all their hearts.

The first evil has been eliminated, and Zhao Jun has no intention of expanding the scope of investigation, and the Lou Fu departments, who have always bullied the weak and feared the hard, suddenly resumed their previous obedient posture, and went to Ma Yi to beg for mercy and beg for their subordinates.

"Well done." Zhao Wuxian was very appreciative of Youcheng and Zhao Jia's response, but when Youcheng said that when Zhao Jia asked to come to Daicheng to meet the prince, Zhao Wuxian flatly refused.

"It's a long way away, and she has prestige in the annoying building, so let her continue to stay in Mayi."

It's been almost five years, and since that incident, Zhao Wuxian has been deliberately avoiding things related to Zhao Jia, anyway, it's just that he responds in his heart, and it's still not good.

Although it was strange why Zhao Hou suddenly ignored this sister who was extremely favored before and left him to fend for himself in the frontier, he did not dare to ask about the affairs in the office, even if he was one of the two great feats of Post and Dong.

Meritorious service must be rewarded, although Zhao Jia is daughter, but Zhao Wuxian still overrode public opinion and named her "Captain of the Building Guard"!

……

Considering that the control over the tribes around Dai County needed to be strengthened, Zhao Wuxian added several captains in one go. "Guarding the building and annoying the school captain" is a new official position, supporting the festival, the rank is more than a thousand stones, in order to protect the annex building and annoying the departments, so that it is not allowed to communicate with Donghu, and to organize the building to be attached to the cavalry to serve the Zhao army. The garrison of the captain of the building is Mayi, and the county guard and Sima are its superiors, but in this war, it is temporarily controlled by the post.

That's right, although after the beginning of spring, as the situation in Daijun stabilized, the Donghu people retreated to the eastern section of Yanshan, but this war, which officially started last year, is far from over!

At the end of March, more than 30,000 people of Zhao Guobu had gathered in Daijun, and compared with the battles of Wu, Qi and Zhongshan, the troops used were not much. But almost the entire mobile troops of Zhao State are concentrated here, and the test and difficulty of this war for Zhao State are far greater than before.

Because what they have to do is to go deep into the unknown steppe land, to find the cunning enemies like jackals, and destroy them!

After convening the generals such as Youcheng, Xinzhigou, and Xu Qu, Zhao Wuxian believed that Yu Xi's overall idea was right, but he underestimated Donghu's cunning and strength, so he returned in vain, and he also lost his life in vain.

How to deal with the nomadic country that comes and goes? The people of this era did not have much experience, and the dog Rong dealt with by the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Shanrong dealt with by the Duke of Qi Huan all had a certain degree of agrarian and sedentary nature, and their mobility and geographical scope of influence could not be compared with the current Donghu.

In the face of such an enemy, if we only adopt a passive defense of the enemy coming and retreating, and the enemy attacking and defending, the war will become an endless tug-of-war, which consumes not only patience and time, but also a steady stream of food and money.

Zhao Wuxian didn't want to wait, the strength of the Donghu people was far inferior to the Xiongnu and other regimes that unified the grassland in later generations, and it was precisely to take advantage of the fact that they were not yet strong, to go deep into the grassland and plow the court and sweep the caves!

"The eastern route consists of two thousand Yan military chariots, out of Yan Mountain, and goes north along the west foot of Gravel Mountain (Qilaotu Mountain)." This road, that is, the first line of the imperial capital to Chengde and the paddock in later generations.

"The middle route is composed of 3,000 cavalry of Zhao State Sanhe (Hebei, Hedong, Hanoi), 4,000 cavalry of Daijun, and 3,000 soldiers of Taiyuan. This road is the old road that Yu Xi had already discovered when he sent troops last time.

"The western route is composed of 4,000 cavalry from Shangjun, 1,000 Liangjiazi from Yecheng, and 1,000 cavalry from Loufu.

The east road and the middle road will meet in the Raole water upstream, and it is expected to go seven or eight hundred miles, and the west road will travel more than a thousand miles, and they will find the "Daze" (Da Lai Nuoer Lake) of the Donghu people in the spring, so that the three-way army will outflank the core area of the Donghu people, the upper reaches of the Liao River, so that they have no escape, and can only fight a decisive battle with the Zhao army!

This is in accordance with the idea that in the later Han-Hungarian War, the Han army went out of the fortress in five ways, and Donghu did not have the strong national strength of the Xiongnu in later generations, and the Zhao army had the opportunity to solve the problem once and for all. But the plan was good, but Zhao Wuxian didn't know what would happen on the way.

In mid-April, Zhao Wuxian, who was named the pro-expedition, was actually just Zhao Wuxian, who was sitting in Longcheng in Daijun, sent the army out of the middle road to "Hehe Nanzhong, Xuanqi Yuxiang." A poem encouraged the soldiers, hoping that they could make the merit of Nanzhong's defeat of Xuan Li when King Xuan of Zhou was born.

Looking at the army of more than 10,000 carts, footmen, and horses marching north, he should have been full of confidence in them, but Zhao Wuxian couldn't shake away the uneasiness in his heart.

20,000 people went out of the jam, but 200,000 people were responsible for the supply and grain transportation for them! It's a huge expense, but you don't know how the outcome will be. Going deep into the vast grassland to find the enemy is like gambling, the Han Dynasty attacked the Huns, Wei and Huo, who were lucky and strong, won the bet, but the unlucky Li Guang often gambled and lost. Therefore, it is not only the logistical supply that will be tested, but also the choice of strategic routes......

This time, Zhao Wuxian couldn't know who would be Huo and Wei and who would be Li Guang among these armies?

At the same time, Zhao Jia also led his troops to leave Daijun with Youcheng in the sequence of the expedition of the Western Route Army, entered the grassland at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, marched out of Hansai, and returned to Hutian ......
