Chapter 144: Driving Wolves
Xiao Tianlei was not optimistic about the peasant uprising of Zoroastrian rebellion from the beginning, and he didn't feel strange to learn that Zoroastrianism was defeated, but Zoroastrianism was indeed defeated too quickly and suddenly, and it was beaten once that he couldn't turn over, and after reading the detailed information of Zoroastrianism, Xiao Tianlei was really a little surprised, these Zoroastrian guys are really capable of doing it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the beginning of the Zoroastrian uprising, the momentum was huge, and it occupied several states within half a month, and then called the king system, recruiting talents, which really attracted many people to defect, and for a time it was also full of talents, known as supporting millions of soldiers, and the situation was very good, and the world was paying attention to it. Zoroastrianism can be said to have become a climate, and it can be regarded as a powerful force.
If the high-level Zoroastrian leaders are somewhat self-aware and smart, they should consolidate their territory, stabilize their interior, and lay a solid foundation, but this group of people is about to be carried away by victory, and constantly launch offensives against the surrounding states, and they do not manage the territory they occupy at all, but engage in religious activities, claiming to be a god and a god general, promoting the belief of Zoroastrianism, and asking believers to dedicate their family wealth in order to establish a great bright world. A group of civil and military generals were divided, many of whom originally had a low status, but once they had power, they quickly swelled and degenerated, and they were busy enclosing land and buying property, marrying wives and concubines, and making prestige and blessings. As the saying goes, it is easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share wealth and wealth, these people have power, and they have begun to intrigue with each other, forming gangs, and basically learning the style of the Great Xia court.
The king of Zoroastrianism, who prides himself on being a god, is obviously a coaxing nonsense, he himself seems to really believe it, but he actually thinks of himself as a god, and he has not seen the ability of God, but he has put on the shelf of the gods, and has chosen many gods and concubines to have fun, and many things in Zoroastrianism are decided by him in one word, and he does not listen to the advice of others at all, in short, he can do whatever he wants, and the hearts of Zoroastrians are naturally gradually dispersed.
Generally speaking, Zoroastrianism is actually a nouveau riche, just like many people who get rich overnight, suddenly get a huge amount of wealth, and they don't know what to do at all, and fall into a state of wanton behavior, if it is really just a nouveau riche, it is fine, for a force, a rebellious force, it is undoubtedly fatal.
If the high-level Zoroastrian leaders could have noticed this earlier and sobered up, it would not be impossible to remedy it, but unfortunately, they were confused by some of the illusions they saw, and it was difficult for them to make correct judgments at all, misestimating the comparison of their own strength with that of Great Xia.
It is the armies that encircled and suppressed Zoroastrianism that made Zoroastrianism lose its correct judgment, and speaking of which, it is not that these people deliberately confuse Zoroastrianism, but that the real level of many of these armies is just one word - rotten. After all, Great Xia has been peaceful for a long time, and some people from military families have forgotten how to fight, let alone others, how much combat power can some armies temporarily organized by big families have?
In fact, this is also the norm, don't look at the war written in the book, the characters in it are strategizing and clever one by one, most of them are blown, or they are made up and hindered afterwards. You must know that things are constantly changing at any time, so the more sophisticated the strategy, the more difficult it is to achieve, the easier it is to go wrong, but the simpler the strategy, the more effective. It is already remarkable that leading troops to fight a war can do a good job in some basic matters in accordance with the military book, and many times in war, it is not so good to compare who is better, and it is often not so bad than who is compared, and it is extremely difficult to be able to make mistakes without making mistakes, or even make fewer mistakes.
Of course, at this point, those wealthy families and military generals must be stronger than the people from the lower classes of Zoroastrianism, to say that when Zoroastrianism first started, Zoroastrianism hit the garrisons of many states and some wealthy families were caught off guard, at this time, these people have come to their senses, and if they really want to deal with Zoroastrianism, how difficult it is, it is not necessarily.
It's just that due to the situation, those troops who encircled and suppressed Zoroastrianism were a little cautious, except for a few who were really loyal and patriotic, and some other people were just taking the opportunity to pull up some men and horses and expand their power, which is not ambiguous. If you want to say that Zoroastrianism is quickly exterminated, not to mention that the strength is insufficient, even if you have that strength, it is impossible to do that, and if Zoroastrianism is extinguished, the imperial court will tolerate them holding heavy troops, and they will not be able to hide their bows. Raising thieves is self-respecting, which is something that many people know by heart.
Occasionally, efforts are made to exterminate Zoroastrianism, which is also to grab more heads of anti-thieves, so as to report to the imperial court and ask for some official titles and rewards, with the official position of the imperial court, there is also a name, and you can recruit troops and horses in a bright and bright way, although there is no official position, you can still do this, the Great Xia court is still there, Great Xia is still orthodox, and the vast majority of the people still identify with Great Xia, and the official position of the imperial court, even if it is used as a fig leaf.
For many people, encircling and suppressing Zoroastrianism is not a very important matter, the most important thing is how to preserve and strengthen their own strength.
The army under the command of Zoroastrianism is called the Ming Army, and some martial artists with strong martial arts have been selected to form some elite soldiers, but martial artists with good martial arts are not necessarily qualified soldiers, not to mention elite soldiers, in Great Xia, the real elite soldiers are often in the hands of those wealthy families and generals, and they are often passed down from generation to generation, trained from childhood, equipped with special weapons and mounts, where is Zoroastrianism can be established in a short time.
With the growth of Zoroastrianism, the military discipline of the Ming army has gradually dispersed, and the soldiers have raped and plundered, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling.
Finally, Zoroastrianism encountered the counterinsurgency army mobilized by the imperial court, some elite soldiers and strong generals drawn from northern Xinjiang, and some capable officials and strategists, and some local troops. In the face of such an opponent, no one dares to be negligent, but the high-level Zoroastrian leaders have burst with self-confidence, and feel that their own army is enough to compete, and they will fight a decisive battle with the counterinsurgency army head-on, and want to fight down in one battle, so as to win the world.
The details of this battle are not to be said, in short, in the face of the counterinsurgency army, the Ming army of Zoroastrian religion was completely exposed, and it was defeated in the first battle, and it was crushed for thousands of miles, and many leaders of Zoroastrianism were also killed and captured. Without some important leaders, the Zoroastrian shelf is scattered, but Zoroastrianism still has a large number of followers and armies, but at this time it is the time to pick fruits, and the armies of all walks of life are frantically sweeping and snatching the fruits of war, and these defeated armies and followers of Zoroastrianism have to scatter and find a way out.
There is also some greasy in this matter, for the Great Xia Imperial Court, it is best to sweep away Zoroastrianism in one go, and the current situation is indeed not a small problem, the defeated army is flowing around, and it is not a matter of time or a half to want to exterminate them all, perhaps, this situation is estimated to be a matter that many people are happy to see.
Xiao Tianlei didn't know the details, and he didn't care, but one of the defeated Zoroastrian army came in the southwest direction, and he didn't encounter any decent obstacles along the way, and he ran all the way to Jingzhou, and then west to Yuezhou and Lingzhou, what did this defeated army want to do?
If it weren't for that, Xiao Tianlei wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to it, and in view of some of the threats that this Ming army might bring, Xiao Tianlei had no choice but to let Bingfeng fly to Jingzhou to investigate the movements of the Zoroastrian defeated army over there.
The goal of the Ming army is so big, Bingfeng can easily find it, through Bingfeng, Xiao Tianlei and a cadre of brothers to observe some of the movements of the Ming army in Jingzhou, I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it.
"It's a bunch of pests!"
Zheng Biao shouted, with some disgust on his face, and the other brothers all agreed, this defeated army of Zoroastrianism can indeed be regarded as a group of pests, there are hundreds of thousands of people, most of them are young and strong, and there are also some old and young women and children, and the place they walked through was like locusts crossing the border. What can be eaten and used, what is in the house, and what is in the field, have been robbed, murdered and stolen, raped and plundered, and you fight with each other, and you use knives at every turn, and hack a few people to death, that is not a matter at all. Originally, these people may have been just ordinary people, but at this moment, they are a group of thieves, beasts, and walking corpses, completely unconstrained by some moral laws, the evil side is completely exposed, and the beastly side of human nature is magnified, and there is nothing they can't do.
Xiao Tianlei's brother thinks that he is not a good person, and at this time, looking at the actions of this group of people and seeing some miserable scenes, it is inevitable that he will be uncomfortable.
"Brother Lei, I can't stand it anymore! It's uncomfortable to look at. ”
"Me too."
"It's better to see as much as possible, so as not to affect your judgment when you encounter similar things in the future, and you can't usually see these scenes." Xiao Tianlei said, the brothers are still young now, Xiao Tianlei can teach them a lot of things, but the maturity of their thinking is not something that Xiao Tianlei can teach, they can only let them grow more and grow up slowly.
"These people are really inferior to beasts!"
"This group of people should be damned!"
"These people are really inhuman!"
"This is human nature, but it's just another side that you don't usually see, many times, in order to survive, people do everything, everyone is actually the same, in order to survive, right and wrong don't make much sense."
…………
Originally, the Zoroastrian army might enter Yuezhou, and some brothers were still very excited, shouting that they could move around and fight a few games, but after seeing these scenes, they were all lacking in interest, and they couldn't lift their energy at all in the face of such an army.
"If these people go to Yuezhou, won't they kill them?"
Although the Brotherhood in Yuezhou was not officially included in the control, it was basically the territory of the Brotherhood, except for the big families who fled from Yuezhou, the remaining big families were concentrated in some big cities, most of the villages and towns in Yuezhou gradually did things according to some of the rules of the Brotherhood, and their lives improved.
"This group of people has been going west, it looks like they are really coming to Yuezhou!"
"These people are stupid, aren't they, why don't they disperse?"
"There are some troops from Jingzhou besieging around, and there are also troops from the imperial court chasing behind, and if they are caught, they will be beheaded, and these people can only hold together."
"With their slow marching speed, if the imperial army really wanted to pursue, I am afraid that they would have caught up long ago...... How do I think someone deliberately drove these guys to Yuezhou. ”
"Shhh...... There is really this possibility, Yuezhou is our territory, and if these guys are driven to Yuezhou, wouldn't they be looking for trouble for us?! ”
"Let Bingfeng go and take a look at the movements of those imperial court troops, take a look, what the hell are they doing?"
The three stinkers were Zhuge Liang, Xiao Tianlei and his brothers were also flexible in their thinking, talking and talking, and noticed something strange, after that, Bingfeng went to check the imperial army chasing behind the Ming army, only to see a few large armies following the Ming army unhurriedly, not at all like a pursuit, recall that every time the Ming army wanted to attack some cities, the imperial army behind would suddenly accelerate, so that the Ming army could not attack the city, so that it was really possible to deliberately drive this Ming army to Yuezhou.
If you think about it according to this line of thought, the next thing will be logical, these hundreds of thousands of Ming troops have arrived in Yuezhou, and Yuezhou is the territory of the Brotherhood, so it will naturally clash with the Brotherhood. As for the Brotherhood joining forces with the Ming Army, it is extremely unlikely that the Brotherhood will be domineering and domineering. Even if we join forces, it is not simple, and contradictions are inevitable. In short, the arrival of these hundreds of thousands of people in Yuezhou is a trouble that the Brotherhood has to face.
"Although this is just a guess, how to deal with this matter is really troublesome, let's discuss. Forget it about teaming up or something, I look at these guys, how they don't like it. ”
"That's it, not to mention these people who don't look good, this group of people is a group of pig teammates, join forces with them, and wait to be pitted!"
"Why don't we fight too? They did not dare to enter Yuezhou. ”
"In that case, we have to transfer all the troops, not to mention the strength, these people are all outlaws, and there are many of them, even if twenty are exchanged for one, we will have to suffer tens of thousands of casualties, which is not worth it at all, besides, there are still a few imperial army behind them, and they will definitely jump out to pick up the bargain when the time comes."
"Can't fight, can't you lose Yuezhou?"
"It is estimated that it can only be like this, we can't take care of Yuezhou now, and if we lose it to them, we won't have anything to lose."
"As long as we don't go out of Lingzhou and guard the city, when the time comes, we will see what the imperial army will do."
"When the time comes, if they fight, it will be our turn to pick up the bargain."
……
After the discussion, Xiao Tianlei and a group of brothers unanimously agreed to give up Yuezhou, however, Yuezhou could not be thrown to the Ming army in vain, the various organizations of the Brotherhood immediately took action, ran to all parts of Yuezhou to hype it up, and told the people about the ferocity and inhumanity of the Ming army, what like to slaughter the city, rape and plunder, eat human flesh and the like, at the same time, the Brotherhood began to collect the grain and some materials in Yuezhou, and those who could be transported away were transported away as much as possible, and the implementation of the strong wall cleared the wilderness, once those Ming troops arrived in Yuezhou, they could not find anything to eat, See how long they can jump.
After that, some people in Yuezhou entered Lingzhou, Maozhou, or Yizhou, and there were still a lot of people left, although the Brotherhood basically mastered Yuezhou, but to say that the influence was definitely not as good as in Lingzhou, many people in Yuezhou were not willing to listen to the Brotherhood, and it was difficult to leave the homeland, or thought that the Brotherhood was talking nonsense, or felt that as long as the time came to avoid the Ming Army, then no matter what the Brotherhood did, what should be done was done, the Brotherhood is not a charitable organization, and it doesn't care about the life or death of others.
A few days later, a Zoroastrian messenger arrived in Lingzhou, claiming to be a messenger of light, pretending to be a big man, not to mention what kind of big man he was, just a clown, don't care. This person sent a letter, the signature of the letter is Zoroastrian Xiao Ming King, hussar general Niu Jin, the general of the letter is probably to say what the previous friendship, the world rebels are brothers, and then said that the Zoroastrian Xiao Ming King personally came, led hundreds of thousands of troops, this time to enter Lingzhou, and the brotherhood to raise a big event.
"Hundreds of thousands of rotten miscellaneous fish, don't give them away for free, these idiots really think that they are the same thing, something like a dead dog, run our brotherhood to set up a score!"
After reading the content of the letter, Xiao Tianlei was happy, the so-called hundreds of thousands of troops in the letter, such a group of people, were slaves to the Brotherhood, Xiao Tianlei thought that these people were easy to cause trouble, and he actually relied on them.
"Go back and tell you what kind of King Xiao Ming and General Niu, just say that they will go back where they came from, and dare to disturb the territory of the Brotherhood, don't blame us for being polite." Xiao Tianlei replied unceremoniously, and the letter was thrown directly.
The messenger was still arrogant, but when he saw this, he immediately said fiercely: "Don't be ignorant, if you don't give the envoy a satisfactory answer, when my army arrives, the army will attack Lingzhou and break through the city, and you will die without a place to be buried!" ”
If you want to talk about attacking the city, Zoroastrianism does have a hand, and the way of attacking the city is also direct, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people rush regardless of life and death, and the ants are attached to the siege, which is completely filled by human life, and many cities have been captured by them in this way, but Xiao Tianlei will be afraid of these guys?
"Oh, just give it a try! Your sister, a miscellaneous fish dares to threaten us, come on, give me a **** to clean up this ****, let him remember it for life! Xiao Tianlei doesn't care what the messenger is or not, if he is unhappy, he has to clean it up, Xiao Tianlei said that it will be unforgettable for life, and it will definitely make him unforgettable for life, this kind of person just owes it to clean up.
"Brother Lei, these guys even dare to fight our Lingzhou idea!"
"Looks like we're too low-key! I thought we were bullies! ”
"It's really a tiger who doesn't make a threat, and they think we're sick cats!"
……
A cadre of brothers are all excited, originally everyone was very unhappy when they saw the Ming army, and they dared to come to Lingzhou to fight the idea, it was simply unbearable, Xiao Tianlei was also unhappy to the extreme, recently there are more and more people who dare to kick their noses and face with the brotherhood, thought for a while, and said: "Since we are low-key and are looked down upon, thinking that we are weak and can be bullied, then let's be high-profile and slap them in the face!"
