Chapter 180 Troops to the Northeast
Yuyi Town is located in the easternmost part of the six towns, because the Rouran attacks are all launched from the west of Woye, Huaishuo and other towns, so the importance of Yuyi Town is relatively weak, and it cannot be compared with Huaishuo and other towns, Yuyi Town is very limited in terms of city size and garrison, and its role is just a barrier deterrent. [Full text reading. 】
The most talked about thing by the townspeople near Yuyi Town now is the large army stationed here a few days ago, an inconspicuous military town suddenly gathered an elite army, which can be regarded as the first time since the establishment of the military town, although the troops have been deployed, but the townspeople have not stopped talking.
Even though the authorities had informed them that the troops were nothing more than exercises for the New Army to assemble for military training, the common people were not so easy to fool, and they knew that something big was going to happen.
In fact, the officials are not deceiving, pacifying the barbaric Hu people in the northeast is indeed a training exercise for the new army, after subduing the hundreds of thousands of troops under Ge Rong's department, Chen Yu's new army has also expanded, although it is taking the route of elite soldiers and hiding soldiers in the people, but Chen Yu's new army is still expanding a lot.
The commander of the new army assembled in Yuyi Town was none other than Chen Yu himself, and he had now arrived at the first target of the attack with his troops, the Kumoxi tribe in the northeastern part of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the closest to the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Kumo Xi was originally a descendant of the Yuwen Xianbei Department in Liaodong, when Yuwen Xianbei was defeated by Murong Hao of the Murong Xianbei Department, the scattered tribes fled and hidden, and then slowly developed into the Kumo Xi Department, Kumo Xi is the homonym of the Xianbei language, which probably means sand, Kumo Xi is indeed as tough as sand, but they are more like quicksand, always like to wander around and plunder.
The Northern Wei Dynasty Gaozu Tuoba Jue was harassed because of the border, and sent troops to attack Kumo Xi, and he also gained a lot at that time, and got no less than 100,000 cattle and sheep, but Tuoba Jue's attention was on the land of Yan Zhao, and he couldn't spend a lot of energy on Kumo Xi. This instead gave Ku Moxi the opportunity to reproduce and recover, and during the period of Emperor Xiaowen, Ku Moxi invaded Anzhou, Yingzhou and other places of the Northern Wei Dynasty many times, which also gave the Northern Wei Dynasty a headache for a while.
The geographical location of the Xi people is close to the Khitan, and the current strength of these two races is not enough to threaten the Central Plains Dynasty, and the empire has always been more tolerant of them in the spirit of the attitude that more things are better than less things. The main strategy is pacification, but starting today. This strategy is about to change.
Chen Yu undeclared war and ordered the army to suddenly launch a major attack on Kumoxi, which was bound to completely sink this rising tribe and make them never want to recover again.
At this time, the jungle in the Northeast is dense, and the environment is not comparable to that of the industrial towns of later generations, and between the beautiful jungles, Chen Yu also felt comfortable, although today he was doing a murderous business, but it did not hurt the mood of Chen Yu and others.
"General. I didn't expect the battle in the mountains and forests to be so difficult, no wonder the empire has been so tolerant of the Xi people for so many years, it seems that it is not that the empire is not strong, but that attacking these barbarians is really worth the loss" Qian Ergou said with a wry smile, along the way they have captured several villages, and all they have harvested is some cattle and sheep and other livestock, and now the six towns are rich. Qian Ergou's vision is also high, and he still looks down on these things.
"Brother Qian, don't be so sad, when the time comes, I will catch a Xi woman to be your daughter-in-law, so that you can have a good time" Peng Le joked, after Chen Yu's intimidation that day, Peng Le was completely afraid and convinced of Chen Yu. I believe that this guy with a backbone in the back of his head will easily dare not rebel again, but Chen Yu himself does not dare to guarantee it.
"Forget it, this Xi people are too dirty, I can't stand it," Qian Ergou said with a disgusted expression.
"General, the scout reported that a large tribe was found three miles away. There are at least 3,000 people, and it should be where one of their troops is," Hou Mo Chen Chong reported from the front.
The Xi people are divided into five departments, the leader of each department is called Qi Jin, Chen Yu and others have seen small villages of hundreds of people along the way, and now there are thousands of people on the other side, it must be the camp of one of their five departments.
"Prepare to attack immediately, Xi Ren is good at shooting, use the second plan to try" Chen Yu said with a wicked smile, although he was unwilling to use gunpowder to kill, but to use gunpowder to scare these barbarians, he still wanted to try, before he was afraid that the movement would be too big for Xi people to take precautions so it was useless, and now he can finally make gunpowder come in handy.
Chen Yu led everyone to hide in the dense grass, is slowly approaching the Xi village, after approaching Chen Yu finally saw the whole picture of this village, the village is built on a relatively flat terrain, the house structure is mostly wood and stone, the people here do raise a lot of cattle and sheep, looking at the Xi people who are dressed in simple clothes and still have a primitive form, Chen Yu can't bear to be fleeting.
Chen Yu knew that what he was doing was not just for the borders of the empire, but for the future of the empire, the Xi and Khitan would become a big scourge sooner or later, especially the Khitan race, their harm to the Central Plains made Chen Yu from the future have a deep memory, and if Chen Yu wants to attack Goguryeo in the future, he must also pass through these two locations.
An order was given, the firecrackers in the hands of the soldiers were immediately thrown out, Chen Yu's self-made earth red was not very powerful, but the sound was extremely loud, Chen Yu remembered that when he experimented with firecrackers, Lou Zhao and the others were almost scared to pee, not to mention these unprepared, who had never seen firecrackers, when the deafening sound came, they were really scared stupid, and thought that God had made the thunder angry.
When Chen Yu led everyone to kill, the children forgot to cry, the adults forgot to resist, and the Xi people seemed to have lost all their bow and arrow skills, and even when they were tied up and controlled, they were still stunned on the spot.
Chen Yu didn't expect the attack to be so easy, looking at the Xi people who still hadn't slowed down, Chen Yu also came to talk nonsense, and directly arrested the old men of their tribe.
"Ask him where his other major tribes are, and where their chieftain Ah Hui is, if he doesn't say it, he will start killing people immediately, counting one in fifty, until he says it," Chen Yu said flatly, of course, he prepared a translator for this expedition, and this method of extorting confessions was also learned on TV, but it was indeed effective.
As soon as the interpreter exchanged a few words with the old man on the other side, he immediately replied: "General, this person is the one who insulted the lord, he is willing to tell us where the other departments and the chief Ahui clan are, and he can also send someone to take us there."
"Ah" Chen Yu didn't expect the other party to be so cooperative, but it made him stunned, "Why did you betray your companion so happily, this old boy didn't lie to us, right?"
"No need to write, he definitely wants to take the opportunity to send someone out to report the news, and he dares to perfunctory our general, see me kill a few of him first, and then I don't believe that he is not honest" Peng Le picked up the knife after saying it angrily, of course, without Chen Yu's consent, he categorically did not dare to advocate doing anything without authorization.
The old man seemed to see that Chen Yu and the others didn't believe him, and immediately said a few more words.
"General, he probably didn't lie to us, he said that we were sent by Thor, so he is willing to accept the dispatch, just ask us not to harm his clan," the translator continued.
Chen Yu looked at the old man with horror on the surface, but his expression was not too panicked, and the cunning in his eyes flashed away, Chen Yu immediately understood, this old man may indeed be frightened at first, but at this time, he is definitely willing to betray other companions in order to protect his clan, the key is that he also said that Ling Ran, this matter will not be faulty in the future.
"You tell him that he is very smart, I like to do things with smart people, as long as he sincerely cooperates, I guarantee that no one will be harmed, and I will help him to humiliate the Lord to become the largest tribe of the Xi people, as for him" Chen Yu pointed at the other party, "You tell him that I can make him the common chief of the Xi and Khitan" is to be continued.
