Chapter 938: Xiqiang and Liaodong Pacification (Addendum 16/100)
"Haven't our reinforcements arrived yet? If this continues, we will be wiped out. ”
Han Sui was besieged by the rebellious Qiang tribe in the deep mountains and old forests, and the Xiliang cavalry around him became less and less frequent.
Han Sui brought about 20,000 Xiliang cavalry, and in many battles with the Qiang tribe, he suffered 11,000 casualties, and was never able to break through the siege of the Qiang cavalry.
The morale of Han Sui's army has fallen to the bottom.
"General, our reinforcements have arrived!"
"Finally waiting for reinforcements!"
Han Sui got up, he had been trapped for a long time, untidy, if there were no reinforcements, then Han Sui might be defeated and killed.
Being annihilated by the Qiang tribe would be discredited and unacceptable for Han Sui.
A galloping war horse crashed into the Qiang infantry, and General Fubo Ma Yuan held a longbow in his hand and led the cavalry of the Fourth Legion of the Xiliang Army to break through the encirclement of the Qiang cavalry!
The infantry of the Wudang Flying Army scurried through the mountains and forests, shooting bows and arrows, and from time to time the Qiang infantry was killed by arrows!
Qin Liangyu rode a war horse and rushed forward, his spear stabbed out, and the shadow of the spear was like a forest, killing the Qiang cavalry in front of him!
Qin Liangyu was like a gust of wind, and more than a dozen Qiang cavalry fell from their horses.
"Retreat into the depths of the forest!"
When the Qiang leaders Yao Yizhong and Yao Xiang saw Han Sui's reinforcements coming, they knew that they were invincible, so they broke into pieces and fled into more remote mountains and forests.
According to the ideas of Yao Yizhong, Yao Xiang and his son, in order to crusade against the Qiang tribe, the Xiliang army has pursued westward to the deep mountains and old forests, and consumed as many as one million taels of silver.
The Xiliang army mobilized 110,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xiqiang, whether it was soldiers or war horses, they needed to consume a lot of grain and grass, and they also needed to recruit strong men to transport grain.
However, the military salary paid by the Xia Wangfu is tens of millions of taels a year, and he is determined to completely pacify the chaos.
In order to gain military merits, the generals of the Xiliang army did not want the Xiqiang tribe to surrender.
Ma Yuan and Qin Liangyu pursued closely, and the Xiqiang army was defeated and fled.
"General, we live up to our expectations and successfully ask for reinforcements!"
Hou Xuan and Cheng Yin, two Xiliang generals, came to join Han Sui with injuries.
"Our group of Xiliang fierce generals, even a female streamer?"
Han Sui couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Qin Liangyu was chasing and killing the Qiang people, and he still had to wait for Ma Yuan and Qin Liangyu to come to the rescue.
Qin Liangyu led the Wudang Flying Army and the White Pole Soldiers to kill tens of thousands of rebels, making the Qiang people terrified.
Qin Liangyu's two armies were good at mountain warfare, and the terrain advantage of the Qiang troops was gone.
The Qiang people fled in the wilderness, and the Qiang military general Yao Xiang shot and killed a chasing Xiliang cavalry, and fled.
"Father, let's flee to Qinghai Lake!"
"For today's plan, I can only withdraw from Jincheng County and avoid the troops of the Xiliang Army."
Yao Yizhong and Yao Xiang fled two hundred miles to the west.
However, Xu Fengnian, the commander of the Xiliang Army, Xie Ai, the military advisor, and Ma Chao, the fierce general, had already led the Xiliang cavalry to make a detour to intercept the Qiang cavalry who wanted to flee to Qinghai Lake.
"This time, Huang Zhongyi from Hu all died or surrendered, Ma Yuan, Yang Shihou's Fourth Legion, beheaded 17,000 rebels, Qin Liangyu beheaded 23,000 rebels, the First Legion beheaded 18,000 rebels, plus those affected, at least 100,000 Qiang tribes were killed in battle, and their vitality was greatly damaged. As long as you kill Yao Yizhong, Yao Xiang's father and son, and then let people spread the word to the entire Xiqiang tribe, you can make a forced landing of millions of Qiang people and end the Qiang rebellion. ”
Xu Fengnian launched a big war against Xiqiang, if you count Huangzhong Yiconghu, the Qiang tribe has more than 100,000 young and strong.
For the small number of Xiqiang tribes, the loss of 100,000 young people means that they have lost the ability to launch a rebellion for a long time.
Yao Yizhong and Yao Xiang led more than 10,000 Qiang cavalry to flee west, and when they saw Xu Fengnian, Xie Ai, Ma Teng, Ma Chao, and Pang De lined up, their faces turned pale.
Xu Fengnian, as a prince for many years, and Xie Ai is a white-clothed military advisor, he has already seen through the retreat of the Qiang cavalry.
Ma Chao took the initiative to ask Xu Fengnian for his life: "Meng Qi is willing to take the head of the enemy!" ”
Pang De was not to be outdone, and secretly competed with Ma Chao: "With just a big knife, I will take the enemy among the ten thousand armies!" ”
Xu Fengnian did not doubt the strength of these two people, so he said: "You attack together." ”
Ma Chao and Pang De each held weapons and led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to attack the Qiang cavalry!
……
The main world, Chang'an City, came back from Chutian, who set out from here to participate in the national war, and the 100,000 elites who participated in the national war regrouped without loss.
However, Siphias, Varus, Himiko and others recruited by Chutian from the National War all came to the main world and could be regarded as officially joining Chutian's forces.
"The Seventh Legion of the Praetorian Guard, the commander of which is Joan of Arc, has the Protectorate, the Hussite, the Byzantine, and the Roman."
Chu Tian incorporated the generals of other civilizations, the master of the Chebao tactics of the Bohemian Kingdom, Jayska, the famous border guard general of the Byzantine Empire, and Valus, the governor of the Germanic provinces in the Octavian era, into the Seventh Army of the Praetorian Guard, commanded by Joan of Arc, and the commander behind it was actually Chutian.
In the ancient Indian Mauryan Dynasty, Kautilya, Chutian was temporarily arranged to serve as an internal affairs staff. In the future, when marching into the Indian peninsula, the Kodiliya will be of great use.
Himiko served as one of the advisors, and when crusading against the four islands of Toei, he could use Himiko to appease people's hearts.
Himiko is considered to be the queen of Toei who is relatively close to the Central Plains.
"My lord, the Xiliang Army crusaded against the First Legion, the Fourth Legion, and the Qin Liangyu Army of Xiqiang, broke the Xiqiang rebels, and captured 100,000, and the leaders of the Qiang people, Yao Yizhong and Yao Xiang, were killed by Ma Chao and Pang De! Huang Zhongyi surrendered from Li Wenhou, the leader of Hu, but he was not allowed and was killed by Ma Chao! ”
"In order to quell the Qiang rebellion, the Xiliang Army killed 30,000 soldiers and horses!"
"It seems that Xu Fengnian did a good job during my absence, and at the last moment, he completely pacified the Xiqiang tribe."
Chu Tian also heard that Xu Fengnian won the title of "butcher" when he pacified Xiqiang.
Chu Tian was now holding a talisman of Huangzhong Yi Conghu in his hand.
Huangzhong Yiconghu, a fifth-order light infantry, the source of soldiers comes from the Qiang tribe in the Huangzhong area of Jincheng County, good at mountain warfare, bows and crossbows, the people are fierce, brave and good at fighting, and the upper limit can recruit 10,000 people.
"This talisman is for Xu Fengnian."
Chu Tian knew that Xu Fengnian was familiar with the terrain of Liangzhou, and it happened that Xu Fengnian did not have a special army, so he asked Xu Fengnian to give this talisman and asked him to re-establish Huangzhong Yiconghu.
Xu Fengnian is like a butcher in the eyes of the Qiang people, and the Qiang people will not dare to act rashly under his surveillance.
Recruiting Huang Zhongyi Conghu had little effect on Chutian, and the pacification of the Qiang Rebellion was of even greater significance to Chutian.
In order to quell the Qiang rebellion this time, the Xia Wangfu paid millions of taels of silver before and after, and the plundered cattle and sheep were far from enough to spend.
In addition to learning that the Xiliang Army had successfully pacified Xiqiang during the National War, the generals sent by Chutian to attack Liaodong basically pacified Liaodong and recruited a group of surrendered troops and generals, all of which were waiting for Chutian to deal with.
The Xia Wangfu recruited Badun, and as a result, the Wuhuan nobles hijacked Badun to rebel and fight for bargaining chips.
Under the persuasion of Yuwentai, the Xianbei Yuwen tribe took the initiative to attack the Wuhuan tribe.
Yuwentai led 20,000 Xianbei cavalry, broke 100,000 Wuhuan cavalry, killed the leaders of 37 Wuhuan tribes, and shocked Liaodong!
After Yuwentai captured the three kings of Wuhuan such as Bundun, he dedicated it to the Xia Wangfu, and then persuaded the ancestor Yuwen Yidou to return, and led the Yuwen Xianbei tribe to beg, willing to hand over power in exchange for the tribesmen.
"Yuwentai is worthy of being the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty and the founder of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. If it weren't for the fact that he appeared so late, there might have been a place for him. ”
Chu Tian looked at Yu Wentai, a Xianbei person, differently.
Yuwentai knew that the general trend was gone, so he actively looked for opportunities to make meritorious contributions to his tribe and fight for preferential treatment.
Yuwentai's ability is undoubted, and he defeated 100,000 Wuhuan cavalry with 20,000 Xianbei cavalry.
For Yuwentai to express the intention of surrendering, Chutian did not refuse, after all, Yuwentai is a smart person, dealing with smart people, and knows what both sides need.
What Chutian wants is loyalty, and Chutian has a large number of famous generals who can suppress Yuwentai, and Yuwentai can't survive at all with the basic plate of the Xianbei tribe.
Unless Chu Tian did something sorry for Yuwentai, there was no need for Yuwentai to rebel.
"If the Yuwen Xianbei tribe surrenders, then send officials to collect and divide it into four parts, one to migrate to Guannei, one to Liaoxi, one to Liaodong, and one to Monan, and set up a separate pasture. In addition, the population of the Guannai migrated to live with it, and at the same time developed Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Monan. ”
Chutian planned to completely assimilate the Xianbei people and make them disappear from now on, as if it happened in history, so he split them, mixed them, managed them according to the model of Guannai, and forcibly assimilated them.
Chu Tian is more concerned about Yuwentai, as for Yuwen Xianbei's leader Yuwen Yidougui, he is only the ancestor of Yuwentai, so Yuwentai is the master, in fact, Yuwen Yidougui's ability is far worse than Yuwentai.
"Send Yuwentai to the Third Legion of the Xiliang Army, and be in the same legion with Li Hu and Duguxin."
Yuwentai was transferred by Chu Tian to the unfamiliar Xiliang Army, reducing his influence among the Xianbei tribe.
Yuwentai, Li Hu, and Dugu Xin were all military generals of the Western Wei Dynasty (Northern Zhou), and Yuwentai was still the lord of Li Hu and Dugu Xin, and their relationship was the same as that between Cao Cao and the five good generals.
In this way, the Xiliang army is even stronger.
If there is time, Chu Tian thinks that he needs to recruit Yuwentai to close the distance and pay attention to his loyalty.
Yu Wentai's ambition should be higher than Cao Cao's, and he belongs to one of the most difficult groups of people to control in Chutian's forces at present.
Whether Xiao Xuan's ambition value is high or low, Chu Tian doesn't know, because Xiao Xuan wants to be on top and has to rely on Chu Tian.
If you want to control ambitious generals, you must stay strong and not suffer heavy losses.
As soon as the forces of Mingguan and Lao Qin were frustrated, many generals launched a rebellion, which can be seen.
In this way, for the captured generals of Mingguan, they can also surrender.
Chu Tian thought that he seemed to have captured a few generals from Mingguan alive.
Not only that, the Xia army captured Liaodong City, and the generals who were unwilling to leave the Mingguan forces chose to surrender to the Xia army, and this group of generals also surrendered to Chutian.
