Lingzhou is not far from the territory of the party people, and Lingzhou was the city of the Western Xia Kingdom during the Song Dynasty. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but at this time, there is a great god sitting in Lingzhou, and Shuo Fang Festival makes Han Xun be in high spirits at this moment. After Zhu Wen replaced the Tang Dynasty, Han Xun served as the envoy of Shuo Fangjie. The Fengxiang Jiedu, who opposed Zhu Wen, made Li Maozhen, the king of Qi, appoint Li Jizhi as the assassin of Yanzhou, showing a clear attitude of non-cooperation.

In the third year of Kaiping, Han Xun led the Shuofang army to capture Yanzhou, killed 62 people including Li Jizhi, the assassin of Yanzhou, and annexed Yanzhou in one bite, greatly increasing its strength. The Zhongwu Army made Liu Zhijun attack him again, and was easily defeated by Han Xun.

Li Maozhen wanted to turn Lingzhou into his horse farm, so Li Maozhen sent Li Zhijun to lead tens of thousands of generals in Pizhou, Qizhou, Qinzhou, and Jingzhou to attack Lingzhou. At this moment, Han Xun couldn't stop it, and asked the court for help.

Liang Taizu Zhu Wen ordered Zhenguo Jiedu to make Kang Huaizhen and Ganhuai Jiedu to make Kou Yanqing lead the army to attack Pizhou and Ningzhou to relieve the siege of Lingzhou. As soon as the imperial army arrived, the rabble of these northwest feudal towns was immediately unstoppable, and Li Yanguang, the assassin of Gyeongju, went out of the city to surrender, and the vanguard of Kang Huaizhen's army even reached Jingzhou.

Liu Zhijun's lair is almost gone, where is there any heart to continue to attack Lingzhou! Han Xun finally came out now, not to mention that the nest was saved, and he curried favor with Zhu Wen, so how could there be less future. In the five generations when the appointment of officials was like a joke, Han Xun was crowned Zhongshu Ling, the king of Yingchuan County.

Han Xun suddenly became a prince from Fanzhen Jiedu, which had little power in the northwest border pass, and his territory doubled. After receiving Zhu Wen's favor, he naturally wanted to share his worries for the imperial court, Han Xunxi rejected the party, resisted Li Maozhen in the east, and ran his old nest Lingzhou without leaking.

However, today's Han Xun was a little uneasy, the heavy snow had been falling intermittently for many days, although it was not as exaggerated as the half-human-high snow in the legendary Liao Kingdom.

"Jieshuai, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, there will be a bumper harvest in the coming year, and the food and grass of the army that Jieshuai is worried about can also be alleviated."

The White Tiger Festival Hall was deliberating, and the officers and staff below were all happy. It's no wonder that they are so excited to see the snow, after the Huangchao Incident, the world is in chaos, and the marshals of the Northwest Fan Town have completely become the emperors of the soil.

The Tang Dynasty existed in name only, and the so-called imperial court could no longer command a single soldier of them. But the problem comes again, the northwest is a bitter cold land, although there are no years of war and chaos like the Central Plains, where everyone cannibalism is miserable. But it is also the land that is barren, and the people are hungry and displaced.

Han Xun prides himself on being the master of strategy, and he also learns from Cao Cao to cultivate, accumulate military funds, and pay taxes lightly. Helplessly, where is the land in the northwest as fertile as the Central Plains? After paying two taxes on the grain produced in the barren land, the rest of the land cannot support even an adult male, let alone a family.

As a result, the desperate people became exiles, wandering among the northwestern states. Some of the able-bodied people could not bear the pain of hunger, so they pulled up the team, occupied the mountain as the king, and started a business without capital, and the situation in the northwest was very bad.

Han Xun was overwhelmed by these outcasts, although it was easy to exterminate these rabble. But now that the army is open, the money and food spent are not counted, and his family is not rich.

Today's Shuofang is surrounded by the fierce tigers of the party and the Liao State, and there is Li Maozhen, a vicious wolf by his side, which is really a place of four battles, and it is extremely dangerous. The Fan Zhenya army he raised was the foundation of his life, and there were too many forces to guard against.

"Marshal, those homeless people have gathered outside the city, and the last general has ordered that not a single one be allowed to enter the city, and anyone who dares to approach within twenty paces of the city wall will be shot."

"Jie Shuai, the people in the city are rumored that the party is coming to Lingzhou to plunder, should we send some scouts to find out one or two?"

………

The deliberations in the White Tiger Hall did not bring a single piece of good news to Han Xun, they were all irritating, but there were powerless pickled and tattered things.

Han Xun held his head a little impatiently, looking at the group of generals and staff below, but his heart was extremely lost. Thinking of him Han Xun, with a pair of discerning eyes, he can see clearly every time the general trend of the world is able to spell out this foundation, and now it seems that he is about to reach the end of the road, is it possible to go to Bianliang to ask Zhu Quanzhong to ask for a noble?

Never! A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Han Xun's eyes.

"Tell to go down, all the displaced people outside the city will be driven away, and those who are stranded will not be killed! As for the words of the party members, Mr. Li, what do you think? ”

Han Xun turned his head to look at a middle-aged scholar in his early forties with a white beard and asked in a low voice.

"Jieshuai, now that the heavy snow is closing the road, it is not conducive to the light cavalry of the party people, my Lingzhou only needs to send some scouts to explore the only way to go down the party and the border."

Looking at the staff's determined expression, Han Xun's heart was also a little settled. Now that the northwest is full of troubles, if the party members come over to join in the fun, Han Xun who thinks of this is also worried.

"Father, no."

A somewhat calm voice sounded, and it turned out to be Han Xun's eldest son, Han Su.

Han Su looked like he was in his thirties, tall, and his eyes glanced sharply at all the generals of the Lingzhou army, the shogunate masters.

Han Xun didn't say anything, took a sip of tea, and nodded to signal Han Zhu to continue.

"Everyone, yesterday I made a secret report, the snow on the grassland was several feet thick, the cattle and sheep of the party tribe froze to death, and the rice and poultry tribe in the party continued to gather people and horses, I don't know what to do. At present, we are suffering from internal and external troubles in Lingzhou, and the party members must see that we are invincible and want to rob us. ”

As soon as the words fell, the five big and three thick people at the bottom, with a red face and a big beard and a big beard, stood up, if it was paired with the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, it would be Guan Yu alive.

"Hmph, those barbarians in the party are really overwhelmed, Jie Shuai, give a certain 10,000 soldiers and horses, and slaughter that bullshit rice fowl."

After finishing the speech, the big and rough people at the bottom of the audience were enthusiastic, and they asked for instructions to fight with the party members.

Han Xun was also a little excited, although he also started as a big soldier, but he was not as reckless as the big bosses in the army.

"The situation is not clear at the moment, Da Lang, you go and arrange more detailed work to find out the situation of the party members!"

Han Su took the order and left, and everyone dispersed.

…………………………

Wang Jin's sins in the past few days have been much worse than the supposedly harshest training he had ever had.

The party knights had two or even three horses, but they did not dare to ride. In this kind of heavy snow, once the horse stumbles, the consequences are unimaginable, and the horse is generally wasted and killed.

The horses of the Dangxiang people are more complicated, including the high-headed and explosive horses of the Western Regions, and the short and endurance steppe horses (Mongolian horses). However, war horses are extremely precious resources, and the steppe peoples are like tigers without teeth without horses.

Wang Jin and Li Zhuzi held hands and followed at the back of the miscellaneous troops, stepping on the footprints left by their predecessors, moving forward step by step.

The snow had already reached Wang Jin's calves, which was still Wang Jin's relatively tall figure compared to this era, and some people had already overflowed their knees. The dry food and ordnance on his back were extremely heavy, and his thin shoulders were extremely sore.

"Brother Jin, your throat and eyes are almost thirsty and smoking, why aren't you thirsty?" Li Zhuzi's appetite was relatively large, and he ate the hard as iron jerky by him, and he didn't drink water, and his body sweated a lot at this time, and he was seriously dehydrated.

Wang Jin took out his kettle, and there was a lot of water in it, but it was all snow water, and there were many pieces of crushed ice, and this kind of water tasted unpleasant when it was drunk into the stomach.

Li Zhuzi couldn't think so much anymore, so he grabbed the kettle and poured it into his mouth. Sure enough, Li Zhuzi's mouth was crooked, tears were about to fall, and his teeth were fighting up and down.

Suddenly, the troops of the party came to a halt, and the miscellaneous servants were in a commotion, and they all put on armor and handed weapons to the regular soldiers. It turned out that the front had already arrived near a small city in Lingzhou, and the party members were going to grab something.

Wang Jin had always been very strange when he was reading history, and he couldn't understand why the Mongol cavalry could sweep the world. You must know that at that time, it was all siege warfare, and the Mongolian cavalry was generally light cavalry, and the speed of the advance was amazing, and they could travel hundreds of miles in a day and night, coming and going like the wind.

But Zhang He couldn't imagine how such a force could attack the city, just like using modern special forces to fight positional warfare on the battlefield, it had almost no effect.

However, the Dangxiang people were also mainly light cavalry, and even resembled the Mongol cavalry in some aspects. Wang Jin's eyes widened, wanting to see how this Dangxiang Iron Cavalry, who was quite famous in later generations, fought.

To Wang Jin's surprise, the battle was very ...... Bored, the party members did not go to attack the city, but only burned and looted in the villages near the city, and did not even kill people, and drove all the people into the city.

Then the two troops surrounded this small city that was very dilapidated in Zhang He's eyes, and not a single bird was spared. Wang Jin suddenly realized that the party members would also play psychological warfare, which was to ask refugees to enter the city to cause panic, and then exert pressure on the surrounding city.

The soldiers at the head of the city seem to be very afraid, the party members fight the grass valley almost every year, but this year's momentum is completely different, and the eyes of the party members under the city tower show a wolf-like light, but they don't know that they are hungry.

Naturally, the city was not captured, and the county commander in the city was still waiting for Han Jieshuai to come to the rescue, and his family was still in Lingzhou City, so he surrendered so quickly, I was afraid that Han Xun would get angry......

The party army stopped and began to set up camp. Among the people who accompanied the army, there were also Han craftsmen, all of whom were captured from the northwest. The craftsmen began to make siege equipment, and the production of siege ladders was not complicated, but the people who climbed the siege ladders as cannon fodder could not be these party cavalry, it could only be their miscellaneous servants, especially the captured slaves.

Wang Jin trembled in his heart, he hadn't seen the siege ants with his own eyes, but he couldn't stand the scene shown in the film and television drama, it was too terrifying and bloody.
