Chapter 93: Liu Hong's Thanks
Going home is boring even for a day in such a foreign land.
In the future, this is actually the territory of China. If you really want to count it, even the Taihang Mountain Base or Ruyin are not Fang Yun's hometown. But before I knew it, it was where my soul belonged......
Before coming here, the troops once reached more than 50,000, but when they returned, there were less than 30,000 left, of which there were only more than 10,000 real soldiers, many of whom were wounded.
The difference is that this army no longer has the undisguised arrogance of the past, nor does it have the invincible arrogance.
Just like the old wine, after this bloody battle, the soldiers' self-confidence and fighting spirit have become stronger, but they have also become more cautious and calm. Perhaps, this is the so-called 'growing up', right?
A desperate bloody battle tests not only the degree of usual training, but also willpower. An iron army can never be trained by relying on training or bullying children.
So Fang Yun could almost congratulate them, those who survived would be the seeds of a real iron army!
All the way back, no one dared to stop him. Maybe they were really afraid of being killed, or maybe the Xianbei people were busy fighting for power and profit, and the Huns were also busy surviving, and no one had time to pursue.
Interestingly, although the number of people was smaller, the carriage was more than twice as large when I returned. The convoy, which stretched for nearly five miles, was loaded with all the treasures and antiques that the Huns had looted in the Han Dynasty over the years, and even a lot of grain and grass.
The Southern Xiongnu have more or less developed in the direction of an agrarian nation, and some corn and wheat are also grown in the territory, when Liu Hong asked to promote wheat three years ago. The Huns also planted some of them to some extent. Interestingly, it didn't take long to harvest. As a result, it fell into Fang Yun's hands.
The back of the convoy was even more continuous, Fang Yun directly knocked down the sweat tent, this is the largest horse farm of the Southern Huns, and more than 50,000 horses of various types have naturally become his trophies. Later, when cleaning the battlefield, more than 7,000 war horses were obtained one after another, and it was no longer a dream to form a cavalry of about 20,000 people.
A true cavalry must be one man and two horses. Rotate when rushing, usually one horse is used for hurrying, and one horse is used for fighting, so as to ensure that the horse's follow-up mobility can be ensured during battle.
In addition to horses, there are thousands of ploughing cattle, and the cultivation of the territory should not be a problem, and even the few territories that have just been pocketed can be arranged a little; In addition to this, there are more than 30,000 sheep, goats and sheep, and the former may be able to find a place to raise them. The latter needs to consider whether to find a way to collect wool and make sweaters......
Raising domestic sheep is actually good too. It's just because when the sheep eat grass, they will gnaw the grass roots on the ground. Over time, a pasture becomes bare, which is very damaging to the ecology.
It's just that there are also aspects of captivity, such as backward epidemic prevention technology, backward breeding technology, and the breeding effect is naturally not as good as herding sheep, and the most important thing is that the meat will not be so delicious.
However, these are all caused by the headaches of those agronomists, if there is anything to worry about, then there is no need to do anything else, Fang Yun thought.
After harvesting so much, the losses of this expedition have been somewhat compensated, and at least my heart will not hurt so much. But then I thought that the Liberation Army had also sacrificed more than 200 this time, and even if it could be replenished, it would lose some of its experience, and it hurt again!
This is how the system is set up for this kind of class, and it doesn't matter if you die, you can spend money to re-recruit. However, the more you die, the more XP will be deducted when recruiting. To a certain extent, there may even be a downgrade.
Generally speaking, classes above LV5 are not so easy to be downgraded, but it is not impossible, they have really died too many times, and there is no way to escape the danger of relegation. The experience lost by 200 people can be used up to this part of the experience accumulated after upgrading to LV5, but I am afraid that it will be consumed.
Unlike other troops, this unit is an iron army from the beginning, so once the power drops, and there is no way to get compensation elsewhere, it is really heart-wrenching!
"Welcome home, lord!" Ten days later, Fang Yun returned to the county of the Shan family, and Xi Zhicai had already brought everyone to greet him.
"It's back!" Fang Yun smiled and replied.
"The place to stay has been arranged, the lord will rest for the night, and there is another thing that needs to be decided by the lord......" Xi Zhi helped Fang Yun off the horse, and then said solemnly.
He didn't finish his words, and his expression was quite scruples, Fang Yun quickly thought that he was afraid that there was news from Liu Hong's side.
In the final analysis, his own army did not go to Liaoxi to find Zhang Chun's bad luck, but went to the Southern Xiongnu to show off his might, in the final analysis, it was not because he had to wait for Liu Hong. On the surface, he represents the Great Han, but in fact, today's 'Great Han' is not the world of the Liu family, and the Liu family is almost a group of puppets, even if he becomes the Assassin Shizhou Mu, there is no change.
Liu Biao is also a masterpiece, but he was almost stripped of power by the wealthy families of Jingzhou such as the Cai family and the Kuai family; Liu Yan is a unique vision, but he was also in the land of Bashu by the local family, and almost emptied his power. Why did Liu Zhang go out of the city and surrender, just because the family gate lord had given up on him, that's all...... This point is actually similar to Liu Chan.
The world is already the world of the family's gate valve, and the Liu family has become an empty word. Therefore, Liu Hong represents not the Han forces, nor the rebel forces, but the fourth neutral force independent of the three parties!
But even so, at least on the surface, he is still the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he has the power that Fang Yun does not have, as well as his reputation!
"We are the Yellow Turban Army, and Liu Hong is not good at favoring us excessively. But when he learned that the lord sent troops to attack the Huns, he was also overjoyed. At the same time, we also hope that we can help the Han Dynasty and exterminate the power of the puppet emperor Zhang Ju. He can't get anything, a customs clearance certificate, he must be allowed to pass through all the states and counties, and he can't do anything wrong with us, but he can't do anything about food.
In addition, as a reward, he said that he would arrange for us to seize all the goods, and he would not mind even if he ate on the enemy. At the same time, the money hidden in the homes of several eunuchs was transported, about 20,000 yuan, which can be regarded as a nerve-wracking thing. Later, when he learned that we were waiting for the books to be printed, he ordered someone to send more than 300 volumes of books from Lantai, and at the same time said that he would provide us with paper, and he would arrange for someone to copy other books by hand and send them to us. In the end, Xi Zhicai had to get excited.
You must know that Lantai has always been allowed to read books only by those who have made great contributions. Especially those soldiers, only by making meritorious contributions can they go to Lantai to read the military books, and the general representative military books can't even be circulated, and those who hide them will also cover them very strongly, and ordinary people have no chance to contact them at all.
The reason why Dian Wei's grandfather and father were able to gradually run the Dian family into a family is that they have made a contribution and were able to go to Lantai to read these military books, and then have something to leave to future generations, so that future generations will not learn from scratch.
In fact, it is precisely because of the accumulation of this knowledge that the most fundamental reason why the family is different from the ordinary family. Similarly, this is also Fang Yun's most urgent goal, only in this way can the family clan be completely knocked out of the mortal dust, and everyone will be dissolved! (To be continued......)
PS: Why didn't you send troops to fight Zhang Chun at the beginning and go to the grassland, in fact, it was because I was waiting for the arrival of this edict.
Thank you for watching, and we'll see you tomorrow!
