Chapter 112: Yuanyang Rebellion (2)
Under the south gate of Yuanyang City, a thousand-man team of Jiang Longwei was stationed, and there were less than eight hundred people left in this thousand-person team. Of the nearly 800 cavalrymen, a quarter were responsible for guarding the military tents, a quarter were responsible for taking care of the horses, and the other half rested first, rotating with the other half every two hours.
The forage, soybeans, and drinking water for the war horses were all provided by the merchants of all sizes in Yuanyang City. This is one of the contents of the agreement between Xuan Zhongxian, Chen Zheng and Zhou Dongcang. The merchants of Yuanyang City, led by Zhang Yifeng, dared not speak out in anger about the peace agreement, and in just half a day, they had scolded thousands of times in their stomachs, with an average of half a sentence per minute.
It was nearly dusk, and dinner began.
The soldiers came out of the shade one after another, many of them took off their armor and clothes, some soldiers were half shirtless, some soldiers were completely naked, and some soldiers wore only a pair of boxers.
When it was still hot to shake the fan shirtless, the soldiers were sweating like rain while eating a big pot of rice.
Jiang Tao, the commander of the city defense battalion on the tower of the south gate, saw the cavalry under the city like this, and secretly laughed: Discipline is so lax, Jiang Longwei, one of the twenty-two cavalry of the Great Xuanguo, is nothing more than that. Yuan Yangwei's acting commander made Sun Tu more strategic, he saw the situation in front of him, and said in his heart: How did these guys who ignore military discipline pass through the first Xiongguan Pass of the Great Xuanguo, the South Gate Pass?
Fang Qiushui downstairs was having dinner in a military tent, and on the low table were roasted horse meat, stewed Yuanyang fish, vinegared cabbage in Quancheng, lean meat mixed vegetable soup, rice, etc.
The person who accompanied the food was a guard in the late stage of cohesion.
"Xin Guard, Director Xuanda has a big enmity with Zhang Yifeng. You say, why did the head of Xuanda still leave a double-edged knife and stealth clothing?"
Xin Huwei is forty years old, burly, dark and vicissitudes, "I don't know." Perhaps, prepare a big gift bag for someone else. ”
Starter Pack! What about playing the game?
"Escort Xin, why did you say that Chief Xuanda went to the North Gate to participate in the battle in person?"
"I don't know. Perhaps, knowing that this battle will be won, go and increase your experience points. ”
"The head of Xuanda is the son of a scholar of Dongge University, and he doesn't need experience points to advance. ”
"Infinite XP!" "Cinn Guard may be a gamer.
Fang Qiushui took a few mouthfuls of rice and asked, "Tell me, why did Director Xuanda follow the deputy commander to the North Gate to participate in the war?"
Xin Huwei said: "It may be that Lord Xuanda likes the pleasure of being born after death. ”
"I think that the head of Xuanda should have to follow the deputy commander. ”
"You see that?"
"Are you and the other three guards undercover agents who are placed next to Xuanda's chief under the command of Jiang Longwei?"
“......”
"It doesn't matter if it's undercover or not. The important thing is that you have not done anything to harm the Lord Xuanda. ”
"I'm not like the three of them. I don't plan to get promoted and get rich, I just hope to receive my salary from Jiang Longwei on time. ”
"Your salary in the Southern Region is higher than that in our Central Region. ”
"That's because the people of the Southern Regions are good at business. Since the founding of the Great Xuan Taizu, the Southern Regions have had more harsh taxes than the Central Regions. ”
"The Southern Regions have the largest number of big merchants in the Great Xuan Kingdom. ”
"That's because the people in the Southern Regions don't say it, and the people in the Middle Regions don't do it. ”
"Work hard to build a family, empty talk misleads yourself. ”
"In order to make money, people in the southern regions can leave home thousands of miles away, and people in the central regions are safe when they are rich and relocate. ”
"Why is Guard Xin so researched?"
"I am the personal bodyguard of the former commander. ”
Fang Qiushui said in his heart: If it is really the commander who sent the envoy to monitor the head of Xuanda and me. Jiang Longwei relied on Xuanda to pass through the South Gate. Isn't it enough to express the sincerity of cooperation with Jiang Longwei?"
"Fang Qianhu, we are all curious, so that the defenders on the south gate all disappeared overnight, how did the head of Xuanda do it?"
"Actually...... I don't know. ”
"What did you and those people do for Lord Xuan?"
"I didn't do anything, I just smeared a lot of blood under the south gate. ”
"Human blood? I thought it was dog blood. The chief of Xuanda smeared his whole body with sulfur water, and then he built an altar under the south gate alone, and the next day all the 50,000 defenders on the south gate were missing. Isn't this the biggest unsolved case in a thousand years?"
"Knowing that Xuanda is so powerful, why don't you all command the envoys still trust Xuanda?"
"To tell you the truth, those guys in the Jiangcheng Governor's Mansion want to get the great treasure of Xuan Zhongxian, and we all command the envoys to get the throne of the Great General of the Central Domain. ”
Treasures, thrones are the dreams of many people. To get treasure is to get money, and to get a throne is to get power.
After Fang Qiushui finished eating the rice in the bowl, he began to scoop the lean meat and mixed vegetable soup into the bowl, "Escort Xin, all command the envoys to cross the South Gate Pass, that is, to cross the border to attack Yuanyang City, it is a violation of the ancestral teachings of Daxuan Taizu, and he should be punished according to the crime." ”
"Huh...... In the past thousand years, there have been fewer things that have violated the teachings of Taizu?"
Fang Qiushui drank the soup in the bowl, took the empty bowl, was silent for a while, put down the soup bowl, and sighed: "The Great Xuanguo is no longer what it used to be. ”
"You officials only think about your own promotion and wealth, and you don't think about the suffering of our people at all. ”
Fang Qiushui put down the bowl, added another spoonful of broth to the bowl, and said with a smile: "The official position is too small, even if you want to do things for the people, you can't do it." ”
"If you want to be a big official, you must first have the ability, and the second must have political resources or political funds. ”
"What is a 'political resource'?"
"There are people in the court, so it's good to be an official. ”
"What is 'political money'?"
"Money. ”
###
On the pipeline ten miles north of the north gate of Yuanyang City, the Jiang Dragon Guard cavalry and the Green Dragon Guard cavalry had just finished the second round of fighting.
After the Green Dragon Guard cavalry rushed back to their position, they did not turn their horses' heads, did not stop, and ran directly towards the north.
After the Jiang Longwei cavalry turned their horses' heads, they were all relieved to see the opponent's cavalry fleeing.
More than a thousand corpses lay on the ground, dozens of cavalrymen were dying, and hundreds of war horses stood in the battlefield where the corpses were piled up, accompanying the owners of the horses who died in battle.
The deputy commander looked at the sky that was about to darken, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said to the herald: "The herald, after the second, third, fourth, and fifth thousand troops pursued for thirty miles, they will return to the south gate of Yuanyang City to resume their lives, and there must be no mistake." He said to another herald: "Order, the thousand-man team that has no pursuit mission will light the torches, clean up the battlefield, and return to the camp at the south gate on their own." ”
The deputy envoy said to Xuan Zhongxian: "My 3,000 cavalry will be ambushed when I go to pursue?"
"No, it won't. ”
"Why?"
"For they have only pursued thirty miles. ”
The cavalry not only has strong mobility ability, but also has strong combat effectiveness and impact power, but "the defeat is like a mountain", and the Green Dragon Guard cavalry fled in a hurry. The cavalry that lost their will to fight could not cooperate with each other and protect each other, and they were easily shot from behind by the Jiang Longwei cavalry on the way to escape. In the night, many Green Dragon Guard cavalry were surrounded and surrounded by Jiang Longwei's fast horses, and they were killed.
The battle is over.
Night covered the battlefield, the air was filled with the smell of death, and the ground was stained dark red with blood.
Hundreds of cavalry gathered the corpses on the battlefield and stacked them into a "mountain", and hundreds of cavalry picked up a large number of dry branches and dry firewood nearby, and after the remains of the soldiers of the two armies were stacked with the dry branches and dry firewood, the dry branches and dry firewood were ignited, and a raging fire burned in the time of a meal.
All the soldiers watched the fire silently, they were silent, each with their own thoughts. The remains turned to ashes.
The weather was so hot that the bodies had to be cremated and disposed of, and the ashes of the fighters were left on the battlefield and their names were taken back to their hometowns.
