Chapter 111: On the eve of the expedition

April of the second year of the first peace. p>

Just when the undercurrent in Liangzhou was surging, no one expected that Luo Zheng would dare to take the initiative to attack under the unstable situation in Jincheng and the encirclement of various armies, and in one fell swoop he flattened the most fierce rebellion against the Qiang Captain Department, Gongtang Erqiang. p>

And Luo Zheng's ruthless and bloody methods almost scared the courage of all the Qianghu tribes. p>

The two tribes with a population of tens of thousands were completely wiped out within three days, most of the adult men were killed, and all the women were rewarded by Luo to the Qianghu cavalry under his command, and none of the old, weak, sick and disabled were left, all buried alive. p>

And the executioner who did it directly was the 18,000 Qiang Hu cavalry reorganized under Luo Zheng. p>

Such bloody methods severely shocked all the Qianghu tribes. p>

Luo Zheng's strategy is simple and effective. p>

It is to use bloody means to suppress those opposition forces and try their best to win over the dependent Qianghu tribe. p>

Although it was condemned by some scholars with ulterior motives, it was of great benefit to stabilize the situation in Jincheng County, which had just been occupied, and this move not only severely deterred the Qianghu tribes who had a heart of resistance, but also won the allegiance of the Qianghu cavalry under his command in the shortest possible time, effectively solving the huge hidden danger of the lack of loyalty of the army under his command. p>

Within ten days, those small Qianghu troops who did not participate in the Baicaotan Alliance and were frightened offered cattle and sheep money and food, expressing their willingness to accept the order of the Han Huqiang Lieutenant Department, and no one dared to say a word. p>

Luo Zheng didn't care about these Qianghu tribes, because he had more important things to do. p>

Yoongo, Council Hall. p>

The ministers and generals gathered together and gathered dozens of people. p>

Almost all the generals under Luo Zheng were present, Liang Xing, Yang Qiu, Yincheng and other generals were all present, and even Wu Yi was allowed to participate in this kind of formal military meeting for the first time, and Han Sui's confidant Cheng Ying also sat under Wu Yi. p>

Luo Zheng was alone in the first case, looking around with burning eyes. p>

"Wen Ruo, tell me about the specific situation!" p>

His gaze finally fell on Xun Yu, the chief on the left, and Luo Zheng said in a deep voice. p>

"Yes!" p>

Xun Yu arched his hand, and then said solemnly: "Xizuo sent back the news that the first batch of military rations from the imperial court has been transported to Didao, and Ma Teng's army has gone north out of Didao and entered Yuzhong; The 3,000-strong army of Huangfu Jianshou and the 4,000-strong army of the Northern Land Taishou Gaixun had joined forces to advance to Luyin, and it was less than ten days away from Yungo. Guzang is the closest to Jincheng, Zhang Meng's 5,000 army has passed Wuling, there are still less than three days to move from Lingju, Yaodang, Gongtang Erqiang has been leveled, our army only needs to repel Huangfu Jianshou, Zhang Meng, Gai Xun and Ma Teng a few soldiers and horses! ”p>

Luo Zheng asked Gao Shun again, "How is Tuntian going?" ”p>

Gao Shun replied: "The spring wheat has been planted, and now the farmland is fine, just training soldiers, just ...... "P >."

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Just what? ”p>

Gao Shun said: "It's just that there are too few weapons and armor to equip the whole army." Not to mention the armor, the vast majority of the soldiers can't even equip a weapon at hand, and if they order the Tuntian soldiers to go on the expedition, it may be difficult to take on a big task. ”p>

Luo Zheng looked at Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, this matter will be handed over to you!" ”p>

Xun Yu smiled bitterly: "The general doesn't know, Xiliang rarely produces iron, and now the princes are standing side by side, all of them are recruiting troops and buying horses, and they can't buy refined iron at all, and there is no iron ore under the rule of Jincheng, so it is not easy to equip the weapons of the 25,000 army." ”p>

Luo Zhengda frowned and said, "Weapons and armor are the most important materials to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, how can they be missing." Difficulties are all used to overcome, and the solutions are all thought up by people, and General Ben does not believe that he cannot find a solution. Let those Qianghu tribes supply refined iron to the general, grain cattle and sheep can be wanted, the general only needs fine iron, if there is no copper, this time to burn Dangqiang and Gong Tang Qiang, didn't also seize some bronze and iron tools? Let the old horse seize the time to melt and turn it into a weapon. If there are not enough craftsmen, all the slaves captured from Burndang and Gongtang will be sent. ”p>

Xun Yu said happily: "Obey the order." ”p>

Luo Zheng cleared his throat at this time, looked around at the people in the hall, and said: "Okay, the specific situation is like this, this general was ordered by the Son of Heaven to pacify Xiqiang, and Ma Teng, Zhang Meng and other rebels dared to raise a crowd to attack, which is really a big rebellion." Therefore, General Ben decided to send troops to defeat the rebels of Zhang Meng, Huangfu Jianshou, and Gai Xun, and then fight to the death with Ma Teng, what do you think? ”p>

"May it be driven by the general!" p>

Everyone joined the proposal, and naturally understood what was going on. p>

In these years, it is not uncommon for princes to fight for life and death for territory. p>

As for those high-sounding words, they are just for show, and they pay attention to being a famous teacher. p>

In fact, in the end, it depends on who has the biggest fist. p>

None of the people present here are commanders or wise men and ministers, and none of them are stupid, so they naturally know what to expect. p>

Luo Zheng said loudly: "Okay, Wu Xi listens to the order." ”p>

Wu Xi hurriedly got up and stepped out, stood at the foot of the hall and arched his hand: "The last general." ”p>

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Lead the headquarters of five thousand elites to guard Yunwu, there must be no loss." ”p>

"The last will obey." p>

Wu Xi was in good spirits and hurriedly answered the order loudly. p>

Yungo is now the foundation of Luo Zheng, and guarding Yungo is naturally the most important of the heavy tasks. p>

Wu Xi can be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, and he naturally feels that there is light on his face. p>

The previous time Han Sui's army attacked Lingju and almost lost the city, Wu Xi was scared into a cold sweat. originally thought that Luo Zheng would most likely put himself in the cold palace, after all, he was not Luo Zheng's henchman, and there was such a big leak, how could he not settle accounts after the autumn. p>

But he didn't expect that after Luo Zheng returned to Lingju, he didn't mention it at all, let alone settle accounts after the autumn. p>

Wu Xi was happy, but he was also emotional. p>

didn't take the opportunity to put himself in the cold palace, Luo Zheng was still somewhat tolerant. p>

Moreover, in the past few months, seeing Luo Zheng subduing the Qianghu, the first battle wiped out Han Sui, who had been entrenched in Xiliang for several years, and swept away several Qianghu tribes with the most fierce resistance under his rule with the power of thunder, and the foundation became more and more solid and >

As long as Ma Teng, Zhang Meng and other armies are repulsed, they will completely gain a foothold in Liangzhou. p>

Wu Xi couldn't help but have a hint of style, compared to the complaints when he first arrived in Liangzhou, the current Wu Xi has great hopes for Luo Zheng to lay a foundation in Liangzhou, after all, he and Luo Zheng are on the same boat. p>

Since Luo Zheng didn't plan to kick himself away from the last incident, he had a chance. p>

Wu Xi plans to cheer up and show a good attitude, even if he does not seek to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, at least he must keep Yun Wu without loss, and wait until Luo Zheng pacifies Liangzhou and creates a foundation, and when he is rewarded for meritorious deeds, he can also have his own share. p>

If he knew that Luo Zheng had long wanted to kick him aside, but he didn't want to chill the soldiers of the Northern Army, and because there were no generals under him who stood alone, he didn't put him in the cold palace for the time being, he would definitely not have any idea of making meritorious contributions. p>

Luo Zheng looked at Xun Yu again and said, "After this general goes out on the expedition, I will be allowed to defend the country, and Wen Ruo will have to worry a lot." ”p>

Xun Yu said happily: "The general can rest assured, Yu will live up to his trust." ”p>
