184. The Poor
>,!
Descend the thieves! There is only a precedent in the past, but it is easy, and the pawns will proclaim the policy of the fourth-class people in Henan again, and in a short time, they will gather seven or eight thousand strong, and more than forty thousand old and weak.
The Dangkou army is going to Hetao, and it is difficult to bring the starting point back to Henan for resettlement in a short time, but as long as the army goes on the road, it is expected that no one will dare to object.
Wang Yi is good at employing people, but the person in charge of this county is not bad, but although Deng Ji has obtained an official position, it is not all the way to this place. Henan soldiers and horses swaggered outside the city to clean up the battlefield, and there was no intention to explain to the county, and the city wall was still on guard, until Xu Huang led the army to leave, and there was no word of communication between the two.
Tian Feng came up with this plan, let Xu Huang recruit the white wave thieves along the way, and drive them as the forerunner, in addition to reducing the casualties of the soldiers, but also because the Hetao is really vast, only more than two cadres and horses are difficult to attack, and the materials brought back are also limited, just looking for a group of people and cannon fodder.
But there are advantages and disadvantages, accommodating the white wave thieves, and moving forward together, but also to make the mobility of the Dangkou army greatly reduced, and the lone army is far away from the first place to be mobile, if you are reluctant to abandon these thieves when you are in danger, I am afraid that even your own family will be dragged down, although Tian Feng has this plan, it is only one of the alternatives for Xu Huang, and it is up to him to choose whether to use it or not.
Since it has been selected to use this plan, after that, it is to sweep all the way to the northwest, and every large and small bandit soldiers are sent to recruit, and those who do not obey are driven to surrender the crowd to cover up and kill, and the elite soldiers break it, and collect the surrender of the crowd. After another three or four hundred miles to the northwest, more than 10,000 elites have been gathered.
The whole army is still in the territory of Hedong, several battles down, this set of shilling thieves when encountering the enemy rushed forward to kill the chaotic battle, their own soldiers are all lined up behind it, and only when they encounter a critical time to come out to rush out to kill the means has been used by the army skillfully, although it is so worthy of the name of the brave, but the top and bottom have not regarded these thieves as their own family, and they have waited in front of the life to reduce unnecessary casualties, and it is also considered to be at ease.
Henan soldiers and horses marched to the northwest so unscrupulously, and they didn't put the white waves in their eyes, and several remnants of Qu Shuai who escaped cried to their old friends, and suddenly angered a few big thieves, Han Xian, Hu Cai, and Li Le gathered several forces to gather nearly 100,000 people, and went to the east bank of Fenshui to block and kill.
After Xu Huang got the report, he did not rush to fight it, but turned his head to attack Xiangling and his own hometown Yang County first.
The two counties of Xiangling Yang County are not far from each other, but because they are too far away from the county security, they have been entrenched by white wave thieves a few years ago, but on the road before passing, Xu Huang does not want to suffer from the enemy on his back, and he is afraid that he will lose before he wins, and he is afraid that there is no way back, so he waved his division to take Xiangling first, and the four thousand thieves in the city were surrounded by more than 10,000 old companions on three sides, and only attacked for two hours, the city did not want to resist again, the whole army abandoned the city and fled, and was chased and scattered by the Dangkou army halfway, and most of the people who surrendered.
When he went to Yang County again, the thieves in his land had already fled again.
Xu Huang has occupied two counties, so that Han Hao guards Xiangling, Zhou Yi guards Yang County, each other into horns, there is no intention to go out of the city to fight with others, nearly 100,000 people are waiting by the Fenshui to be impetuous, people's hearts are gradually dispersed, Han Xian and others have no choice, so they have to attack the city first.
Xu Huang divided his troops to garrison, and the Baibo thieves also divided their troops to attack, Han Xian led a few small troops to attack Xiangling, and Hu Cai and Li Le jointly attacked Yang County.
There are only seven or eight thousand people in the two cities who surrender to the defenders, and they are not attached, it is difficult to hold on, but every time it is unfavorable, there are nearly a thousand iron horsemen rushing out of the city gate to strangle, breaking the siege ladder before retreating, and the small county town is also difficult to break for a while, and the first day is in vain.
The defenders are mostly old companions, can find the inside should be broken, Hu Cai Li Le sent people to shoot the letter into the city, but not wait for it to wait for the inside and outside to merge, at the time of the third watch in the night, the camp suddenly burst into flames, shouting and killing sounds, I don't know how many soldiers and horses killed at night, it turned out that Xu Huang personally led the car and other six hundred guards to lurk outside, and was not in the two cities, taking advantage of the night from the rear to attack, and succeeded in one fell swoop.
Listening to the sound of killing outside the city, Zhou Yi also led his soldiers out of the city, the front and back were flattened, Bai Bo was suddenly defeated, Hu and Li hurriedly led hundreds of horsemen to flee, on the way Hu Cai was caught up by Cao Xing and the crowd, an arrow was killed, and the cut came to report Xu Huang, leaving Li Le to flee to Han Xian.
There were too many routs to flee at night, and at dawn, Xu Huang only collected more than 10,000 strong, and when his whole army went to Xiangling, Han Xian expected that the enemy could not be defeated, and he had led the crowd to retreat.
Xu Huang led only 2,500 horsemen, and he had to defeat 100,000 people of the Baibo tribes, and it was expected that he would not dare to step forward again, and this trip could go all the way to Hetao without worry.
Although there are many thieves and half useless, the number of nearly 100,000 is not paper paste after all, among them, Xu Huang has no merit in plotting since he was young, although he is still young, but after this battle, since the Che Huang Han Hao Zhou Yi below, the army is fully served.
Since then, Xu Huang has been stationed in the two counties, purging military discipline, selecting elites, and taking time to find relatives and friends who are familiar with each other in the past and famous people in the county.
The strength of the subdued thieves is too weak, and less than 800 of the nearly 30,000 soldiers can finally be picked into the soldiers, but they can be supplemented to the Dangkou army, and the remaining strength is really just cannon fodder in the battle array.
Thieves have no military discipline at all, and there are many orders of the leader who violate the yang and yin, Xu Huang pays more attention to the prohibition and non-disturbance of the people than others, and he has used some means to kill more than 20 people to establish authority, so that he can make the rules up.
The brave soldiers and the auxiliary soldiers chased Xiao Li out of the expedition and had to be plundered, but the new lieutenant acted in this difference, Xu Huang, the strength of the people could not resist the whole army, and in the end he could only compromise, and decided that he could only plunder the big households in the future, and could not disturb the people, even if he plundered the big households, he must not harm people's lives, of course, the foreign race is no longer among them.
After another purge and military resources were collected, the whole army was ready to set off for the northwest. On this day, Xu Huang led the car Huang Xie Yun and dozens of other guards from Yang County to Xiangling for inspection, just arrived outside the barracks, but saw a young man pulling the famous white wave to descend to the crowd, not letting him enter the camp, shouting and making noise, but not forgiving, more than ten people stationed outside the barracks laughed and looked at the laughter.
The man of Nashi was a man of a weak crown, but the crown and girdle on his head were very old, and there were several patches in his robe, and he was poor. It was also recently that the military horses in the city were restrained, and that thing was too important to him, so he dared to do so, while pulling the white wave thief, his mouth said again and again: "My family is very difficult, only this pants are still sold to the newlywed wife's abandonment to buy, seeing that autumn is going to winter, it is difficult to suffer without pants, not to mention, it also makes my wife sad, and I hope to pay it back!" ”
"You are a scholar, but you are just a pair of underwear, and you don't care about your life, aren't you stupid to read?"
The Bai Bo pawn who was held by him glared angrily, but he only dared to lie and be frightened, if it weren't for Xu Huang's strict marching discipline and temperament, he would have been full of old fists or drawn knives to face each other.
Xu Huang and the others saw clearly that the white wave thief was holding a pair of pants in his hand, and the color was still very new.
The two talked a few words, the scholar never let go, Bai Bo refused to return him, but he didn't dare to be violent, and inadvertently saw Xu Huang and others driving over, that Bai Bo's face suddenly changed greatly, and shouted: "Woe!" ”
This person was also interesting, shouted, hurriedly pulled hard, threw off the soldier behind him, turned around and fled to the barracks, but did not remember that although the man did not dare to chase into the barracks, he only threw himself into the net.
This scholar was not a weak person, his body should still be vigorous, but he was distracted by the words, and he also looked back at Xu Huang and the others, as might as well as his sudden strength, his body suddenly did not stand steady, and he fell forward and fell to the ground, stained with a lot of dust, not to mention, his robe was overturned, and a pair of smooth legs were exposed.
"Hah! There are no pants at the bottom! ”
Xie Yun followed Xu Huang's side, and when he saw this person's robe, he couldn't help laughing for a while, in addition to Che Huang, the surrounding guards also laughed, the pants were the pants worn under the robe, the man was exposed in public without pants under the robe, although they were all men present, they couldn't help but be ashamed, their faces were flushed, they didn't care about anything else, they got up and ran out.
"Stay!"
Xu Huang hurriedly shouted to stop, but the scholar was so ashamed and angry that he turned a deaf ear and ran forward.
In the crowd, the car caught the horse's belly, and the prancing horse rushed up from behind, Xu Huang was afraid that he would be reckless, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't hurt this person!" ”
"Save!"
With a reply in his mouth, Che Huang had already ridden his horse and rushed close to the weak crown warrior from behind, bent down and lifted it up by the collar, and then beat the horse back and put it lightly in front of Xu Huang.
Xu Huang turned his head and glared at Xie Yun, hurriedly jumped off the horse, and saluted the scholar: "The army is not strictly governed, it is really Huang's fault, don't blame the offense, I ordered the previous guy to return the things to you!" ”
If the other party is just a person wearing a short shirt, Xu Huang will only let people find the original thing and return it, but this person is a scholar, even if he is poor, he can see each other with a dagger, which is the difference between Xu Gongming and Che Huang Xie Yun.
This scholar is a weak crown, Xu Huang is not a few years older, seeing Xu Huang saluting himself, although his face is still red, this young poor man also insists on answering him.
After a while, the guards had already taken the troublesome descendant in the camp, and came out with the underwear, Xu Huang opened his mouth to ask, and hurriedly knelt down to confess, but because his old pants were torn, he robbed the new pants in the hands of this person on the street, and when he wanted to return to the barracks, he was pulled by him.
Xu Huang ordered the original property to be returned to the owner, escorted him to receive twenty military sticks, fined and confiscated food, and settled the case, but the guards in front of the barracks did not dissuade him, and he was also punished with the guy.
After disposing of it, Xu Huang turned over and got on his horse, and when he wanted to go, he turned his head and said casually to the scholar: "I see that the family is poor, and the east of the river is chaotic, it is not as stable as Henan County, Henan is short of scholars, my lord is thirsty for talent, why not go down?" There is no need to have the talent to help the people, and there is no need for famous people in the state and county, as long as you know poetry and books, you can be a master; Ming history knows political strategy, and can be a county official. Regardless of the master and county officials, they can get 50 acres of land, and the family should have no worries about food and clothing! ”
Although it was only an hour, this weak-crowned young man was also very convinced by Xu Huang's management of the army, he had recovered his state of mind, and when he heard Xu Huang say this, he arched his hand and said: "Thank you, General Xu, I don't want to be a county official, but I don't know how to join the army, can I?" ”
When everyone in the world is light on martial arts, why should this person do the opposite?
Xu Huang was surprised and asked, "I don't know what to call it yet?" ”
"In the same neighboring county, the name of the general, but I have heard it for a long time" The young man smiled slightly, and then said: "My family is also a prominent surname in the county, but the world is difficult, and it has also fallen to this, my surname is Jia Mingkui, the word Liang Dao, I have not thanked General Xu for recovering this underwear for me!" ”
