"Xianggong, the sentry post, the officials at the door, and the soldiers are so kind......"
"Xianggong, there are fewer homeless people and beggars here than in Beiping......"
Walking north from Pipa Beach along the official road, the first county seat, Shan Yuping was very surprised.
"Xianggong, the sentry post, the officials at the door, and the soldiers are so kind......"
"Xianggong, there are fewer homeless people and beggars here than in Beiping......"
From the first county seat, continue to walk north along the official road, and when passing through the second county seat, Shan Yuping was surprised again.
………… From the second county seat............
…………
………… The seventh county town followed the official road to the west......
Shan Yuping finally stopped repeating the words, and no matter how dull the person was, he felt that something was wrong. Although Hezhou has basically lived in peace for a year this year, when it comes to the overall environment and the government's control power, it is too far worse than Anzhou
The reason why I saw such a scene repeated and repeated can only be said that someone did it on purpose.
"Xianggong, is this what the government did?"
"Of course. It's not the government's doing, who has the ability to make such a big scene. ”
"Why?" Shan Yuping frowned slightly, and his eyes were full of puzzlement. Isn't his father-in-law at odds with the king? How could the government still make such a ...... seems very naïve Comportment?
Beauty eyebrows can be more exciting, and their wives are beautiful. In particular, this kind of confusion is difficult to understand, so he seeks knowledge from his husband's ignorance, which can especially satisfy Zhu Biao's unconsciously infected 'hunger' and thirst for machismo.
"To be less of a problem, of course. If there are many beggars in this homeless people, it is difficult to guarantee that we will bump into some unjust and dark things; The soldiers and officials don't greet them specially, and these uncles will cause trouble.
Do you think our current team looks like a big family returning to their hometowns? "Although there are only a few cases of this phenomenon in the northern counties of Rivers State.
"Hades is good, but the little ghost is difficult. Most of the low-ranking officials are people who are interested in profits, and they are reckless about the consequences when they do things. ”
Zhu Biao's identity must not be revealed, and the affairs in the court are limited to the court, and it will not be beneficial to the Northern Han Dynasty if it is expanded.
Because now Zhu Biao's prestige is too high.
If the magistrate does not have a 'special order'. This line of cars and horses traveled all the way to Hedong, and God didn't dare to guarantee that there would be no fart problems.
Although even if something goes wrong, it won't be Zhu Biao who is unlucky. However, the imperial court also returned, and the officials of Hezhou Prefecture, counties and counties were also willing to find trouble, and deepened the Liangzi relationship with Zhu Biao?
At present, the Northern Han Dynasty is still in a state of war, because the Zhou army and the United Guards are working in Chendi, and there are almost no major problems in the three prefectures of Yan, Luo, and He in the Northern Han this year. Even if the old king dies in the middle, a new king ascends the throne. Uncle Wang rebelled, allies turned against each other and a series of other problems, but the three states in the north are really more peaceful than the three states in the south.
However, this did not change the basic strategic form of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the strategic center of the Northern Han Dynasty was still in the three northern states, Yanzhou, Luozhou, and Hezhou.
More than a decade of war has left a deep imprint on Sanzhou, and this imprint has not changed with the improvement of the shape of this year. In the three states, the military power is still greater than the political power, and the border army is still above the state and county officials.
Yandong, Yanxi, the main battlefield of Luozhou. Hedong and Hexi, the five border regions that are in charge of each other, then there are five border area generals who are above the state thorn history, which are five mountains that are pressed on the top of the three state thorn history. The main battlefield in the center is, of course, dominant. This has nothing to say, for the rest, Yandong and Hedong are the second, and Hexi is the third. The most recent is Yanxi.
Now that the main general of the Northern Han Army has changed, the border army is also different from the past. Zhu Biao was ranked in the east of the river, so there is no doubt about it. The important xìng of the Han army in Hedong overwhelmed Yandong.
Because Zhu Biao's weight overpowered the weight of Xiao Zhongming, the current Yandong commander.
Whether it is the history of Hezhou or the county officials, no one wants to provoke Zhu Biao's unhappiness at this moment. Zhu Biaojun has been in charge of Hedong for half a year, and the lack of commanders is not in the army, ordinary people don't know this news, and how can officials never hear of it. The water inside is deep and muddy, and if you go in, you may lose your top.
And the imperial court, even now, a bunch of bigwigs have not yet been screwed together with the new king and the Yun family, how can Ji Yun and the Yun family have more trouble when there is no need? To say something from the heart, it's not a situation to make people, how could they ever want to make trouble with Zhu Biao to this point today?
Before this, Zhu Biao was a treasure in the palm of their hands, a big killer that could withstand, hold, bear, and hold at critical moments.
Even, if it weren't for the fact that the two sides really had irreconcilable reasons, Ji Yun and the Yun family would have sought a chance to heal the rift early.
At the same time as Zhu Biao people left Beiping, the people from Liumen and Tingweifu followed behind. Along the way, the front is 'dotted', and the rear is 'swept away', in order to ensure that there are no 'accidents'.
However, this does not mean that everything will really be fine after Zhu Biao arrives in the army, and the two sides will live in peace in the future.
Do you still remember the news that Dou Bing reported to Zhu Biao in the old store of the Meng family in Pipa Tan? It's the military information that Hedong just delivered.
The Zhou army, which had received 500,000 new reinforcements, was preparing to launch a winter offensive to drive the Hudi coalition back north of Mount Yīn while the reinforcements were at their peak in morale.
If the commander of the Zhou army had not been sick in his head, he would definitely have ordered the Han army in the east of the river to threaten the frontal fortress from afar......
The twentieth year of the Great Zhou Taiping, December.
The battle situation in Chen Di is still in a stalemate. Under the city of Mingshan, the corpses of the Hu Di coalition army were piled up. The Hu Di coalition army, which was the first to move, went south to Yīn Mountain for 500 miles within three rì, but Mingshan City was really impregnable. Since it was recaptured by the Zhou army, not only did it have 50,000 heavy soldiers in it, but it also thickened the city's defense. Compared with the southern invasion of the Di people, there were 2,000 soldiers in the city, and the equipment was not good, and the grain and grass were insufficient.
The rush of the Hu Di coalition army did not have the effect of assault at all, and the heavy troops stationed under the city often launched a large-scale siege every one or two hours, and all the tactics that could be used were used, and Mingshan City still stood still.
On the eighth day of December, the Chinese army in the city sent jīng soldiers to rob the enemy camp at night when the Dihu coalition army had lost its spirit, and although it only killed more than 1,000 ranks, it greatly shook the hearts of the Hu Lu army. For a time, the important generals in the Hu Di coalition army asked for a long-term siege of the "lock city law" again. Just besieging him for a few months, it will be an iron wall, and it will turn into soup!
Di people Mo Yuan Khan was furious. He severely reprimanded his generals for slackness and cowardice, urged the three armies, and tried their best to attack the city. This time to the south, there has long been a plan, it is necessary to open up Mingshan, first, to prevent the upcoming counterattack of the Zhou army, and second, to take the lead. If Mingshan can't be restrained, a qiē is empty talk!
Because compared to Mingshan City, the castles south of Yīn Mountain to the north are too small.
Compared with. The situation in Jiaohe is much worse than that of Mingshan. Its strength is very insufficient, only 20,000 people, after all, the top of Mingshan City is in front, and the number of troops deployed is not very large. But this was not a problem, what was really worse was that when he learned that Mingshan was attacked by Hu Di's coalition army, the general defending the city rashly went out of the city to rescue without knowing the enemy's situation, and 15,000 soldiers were wiped out.
The defending army was heavily damaged, and now it is besieged by Wu Jishan Yu himself. The defenders in the city are already fluctuating, and the morale of the army is dissipated. However, the Zhou army had a strong capital in the end, and immediately after reacting, Jīng selected two armies to rush to the rescue.
If you lose Jiaohe City, the waterway will be stuck. This is a great trouble for the Zhou army's upcoming winter campaign.
The conquest of a million-strong army would be too difficult if it was just to transport food and grass supplies by land.
Jiaohe City was struggling to support, and reinforcements arrived. The morale of the officers and men defending the city was naturally boosted. But what is even happier is Wuji.
They have been at war with Yan, Chen, Beihan, Zhao and other countries for so many years, and every time they hit a wall or suffer heavy losses, they are attacking the city. The army is in the middle of the field. They're really not afraid of anyone.
It is the jīng Ruibu armor or jīng Rui cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty, when Zhu Biao was not born, he collided with Hu Cai, but it was just a small advantage, and a little carelessness was a defeat for both sides.
Now someone actually took the initiative to send it to the knife, so how can he not like it?
The first support army has nearly 40,000 troops, 30,000 infantry armor, and 10,000 cavalry, which is the combined army of Chen Wei and the two countries. In the place where he traveled more than 70 miles to the south of the river, he was completely defeated by more than 100,000 Hu cavalry who were waiting for work.
In less than two hours, tens of thousands of troops were completely dispersed. The Jīng cavalry of the Hu people was killed all the way behind the cover, and Chen Wei's allied army ambushed the corpse for more than ten miles. The infantry cavalry suffered extremely heavy losses, and after the battle, only a little more than 30% of the 40,000 horses remained.
The combat strength of Chen Wei's soldiers and horses was too poor, and Wuji was shocked, and he tried his best to encourage Mo Yuan Khan of Mingshan not to be entangled in Mingshan, not to care about one city and one place, and to rush to the south and march to Fengshan County, and to catch the Zhou army by surprise.
Otherwise, it will be a waste of the information they have obtained with great difficulty.
But without waiting for Mo Yuan Khan to reply, a basin of cold water was splashed.
On December 12, reinforcements from the second road of Jiaohe City arrived. This was a team of 50,000 jīng Rui Zhou troops, which was originally one of the three vanguard armies of the army to the north.
The Zhou army arrived at the Leopard Ridge more than 50 miles southeast of the Ming Mountain, and the Hu cavalry who met it was inspired by the great victory in the previous battle and took the initiative to meet the battle. At the foot of the Leopard Ridge, he was defeated by the Zhou army Jīng Rui in three formations, and he fled after being killed. The Zhou army lineup is rigorous, rushing but not scattering. There are many strong bows and giant crossbows, and their power is unforged. The Hu cavalry war horse was shè dead, five or six out of ten, and was defeated because of this.
Wu Ji was furious, and sent the right valley Liwang Wu Shi to lead 50,000 Jīng soldiers to break it, the Zhou army was neatly arrayed, the army was solemn, properly deployed, majestic as a mountain, Wu Shi did not dare to attack rashly.
Then he retreated to capture the leopard ridge quilt, and asked Wuji to send troops to help in the battle.
Wu Ji listened to his words and sent 30,000 cavalry to help in the battle.
On December 15, the two armies fought a bloody battle thirty miles southeast of Jiaohe. To the second rì, there is still no distinction between victory and defeat, the two armies fought fiercely, the corpses were all over the field, and the river was red.
This made Wuji, who had just won a big victory, very shocked, and by noon on the seventeenth day, Wuji himself led 10,000 blue wolf troops to come, seized a gap in the operation of the Zhou army's battle array, and the 10,000 blue wolf army directly broke the last resistance of the Zhou army. After the victory, the Wu division led the army to pursue with all its might, and the 50,000 Zhou troops were killed and wounded more than 40,000 people, and in the end, less than 20% of the men and horses escaped.
Less than two days after the second reinforcements were annihilated, Jiaohe City, an important minister in the north of Chen State, fell to the enemy. Hu rode into the city and washed the whole city in blood!
And it was only at this time that all the arrangements of the Zhou army were completed. But half a month has passed since the Hudi coalition launched an attack.
……
……
"This is old and serious, not cowardly." Zhu Biao Shuai's Mansion in Hedong County.
On a large sand table, small flags are planted in plains, mountains, rivers, and cities.
Hu Di in black and gray, Zhou army in purple, Chen soldiers and guards in Tuhuang sè and Han army in red sè, the situation is clear at a glance.
"It's the cold winter moon. The movement of the army, food, tents, cotton wool, and coals, everything must not be taken lightly, otherwise it will not drive the tiger and the leopard. Instead, he sent the sheep into the tiger's mouth. ”
After being pressed and beaten for half a month, the all-out counterattack of the Zhou army officially began, is it really that they are slow to react, and the generals are timid and afraid of war?
Zhu Biao doesn't think so. As long as you think about the long arrangement time when the Han army counterattacked several times, it can be seen that the response of the Zhou army was not slow at all.
This era is not an era of maneuver after all. It's the cavalry that reacts the fastest, and it's not ready to feed the war horses, so you can try it when you fight in this snowy day?
It doesn't take half a month, seven or eight days, or at most ten days, and the war horses that only pick up the snow and eat grass roots can't run one by one.
"Have you done all the plowing?"
"Back to the big handsome. Thousands of climbing plows for each of the large, medium and small models have been made. Liang Jin came out of the queue and reported to Zhu Biao.
Fu Shaoxue left, Changshi's position was taken over by Qi Pingxuan, and there was a new person named Xie Lian in the position of Lord Bo, who was Cai Tingshen's subordinate.
If it was in the old days, of course, this would be fine. But now, Zhu Biao can't help but take precautions. And now he is in charge alone, and he is also the one who wants to open the government and build a government, and he also needs some talents.
But after leaving the 'support' of the Elbe Houfu, Zhu Biao, who was self-reliant, found that he really had no connections and friendships to recruit people. He rose too fast, too fast. And because of the disagreement with the new king, the recruited manpower needs absolute loyalty, so there are only a handful of people who can be absorbed into the 'Shangjun General's Mansion'.
Liang Jin is one of them, and the few 'points' between him and Zhu Biao became an opportunity. And he did not refuse the olive branch handed by Zhu Biao. Now it is the chief secretary of the General's Mansion, and the general manager in the actual sense.
The small climbing plow can ride a team, the medium climbing plow can carry a tithe, and the large climbing plow can sit up to 20 people. Looser can do fifteen people.
The 3,000 large, medium and small climbing plows can not only carry 15,000 troops at a time, but also carry 15,000 sergeants and thousands of pack horses pulling the climbing plows. Half a month's military rations and grass.
"That's good! Drum Lifting"
The sound of war drums immediately resounded throughout Hedong County.
"Sixth brother, are you really going to take us to the camp this time?" Zhu Zhong said depressedly. He came to the city today because he knew that the plow had been done, and he knew that Zhu Biao should order troops to go out, so he came over to make the last effort.
But Zhu Biao ignored him at all at this point.
Because although the vacancies in the strength of the five cavalry battalions are now replenished, the combat strength is very large, but it still does not meet the standard of jīng rui. After only a few months of training, the recruits' suzhì and combat power were far from meeting Zhu Biao's requirements.
In this icy and snowy place, Zhu Biao wants to take them out, and a nervous person who freezes to death and frostbite is greater than the casualties.
Moreover, the snow on the savannah outside the Seychelles is up to people's knees, and it is lighter and faster to climb the plow than to ride a horse.
"What's so good about climbing the plow, as soon as the turn people fly......"
Zhu Zhong was obviously talking partially, after seeing the plow sample, if it wasn't for the action that the butt decided the head and the head decided, he wanted to play with himself.
There is really nothing more suitable for the operation of a large army in the middle of winter.
And when the person is thrown out when turning, that happens when the driver is not skillful. What's more, after Zhu Biao saw this situation, he even invented the 'seat belt'.
If you can, the climbing plow in the turn is turning over by itself, and the people on it can't get out.
Hu Yanqing, Li Panlong, Gao Xie, and Zhu Biao ordered 13,000 people in their three divisions, plus the pro-military camp, and the 15,000 army is making up the whole number.
The defense of Hedong County was handed over to Yang Yanzhang, and the joint cavalry battalion had 25,000 or 6,000 troops and local township soldiers and county soldiers, with nearly 40,000 foot cavalry. It was Zhu Biao who was not worried that after he took away 15,000 people, the local area of Hedong would be extremely empty, and his rear would be unstable.
The army left the city, and the roads were lined with people seeing them off.
For the military and civilians in Hedong, this year is lucky. For a whole year, Hedong did not experience a major war, and there were a few sporadic broken battles, and even Hedong County, which was at the forefront of Hedong, suffered a small loss.
At the turn of summer and autumn, they were even more pleasantly surprised to wait for the arrival of Zhu Biao, the first general of the Northern Han Dynasty. Sure enough, General Zhu's prestige can greatly deter Hu Gou, and in the second half of the year, Hedong County did not even have some sporadic battles fought in the first half of the year, and after half a year, it was rare to have a real peace in more than ten years.
For the soldiers and civilians in Hedong County, it's just a pity that they couldn't really see Zhu Biao in person before, and occasionally they only saw Zhu Biao's majestic back in armor, or the side.
There were rumors in the city early on, saying that when Zhu Biao went south to Zhongshan to fight, he was assassinated by a cluster of Jianghu masters in Zhongshan Kingdom, and suffered a lot of internal injuries, and he has been recovering in recent months.
Now their beloved General Zhu has finally recovered, and he has appeared frequently in the past half a month, and he is indeed resolute and resolute, majestic, easy-going, and amiable.
In the twentieth year of the Great Zhou Taiping, December 22, there were only eight days before the New Year. In Hedong County, 15,000 soldiers and horses embarked on a journey north.
The weather is cold, and from time to time there are snowflakes falling from the sky, and the snow covers the streets and alleys of the city, and people often make creaking sounds when they step on the road.
The cheers were deafening, and the eyes of the people were soaked with tears as they watched the resolute soldiers march out of the city in orderly steps.
Eight days, and eight more days will be the New Year. But these young soldiers have to go to the battlefield and die in the rì of the whole family.
They had no doubt that Zhu Biao would win the final victory in the war, but they also knew that the victory would be won by the soldiers with their lives and blood.
In a few more years, I will be reunited for the New Year. And the homes of these soldiers are going to be ruined and sad...... (To be continued.) )
