Section 30 Attacking from All Sides (2)
"Jiulang, are the Shatuo people a good thing?" The thin man looked melancholy, patted the somewhat shabby leather armor, and said angrily: "Shatuo people, Khitan people, Tuyuhun people, Xi people, Yan people, hehe, not only Hedong, this Youyan land is now filled with these miscellaneous people, we Han people are forced to go south, I am afraid that we will not be able to live this day."

Hearing what the other party said, Wang Miao knew that his lobbying would not be in vain nine times out of ten.
This former companion never thought that he would not settle in the German army, but he went to Lu Long's side to eat mixed rice, but this was embarrassing on the German army's side, and the food on Lu Longjun's side was not delicious.
Jiedu made Liu Shouguang flattering the Khitan, but he was very harsh, except for the tooth army in his own hands, the other armies were like called Huazi.
Like the battalion of cavalry in front of him, the battalion of cavalry commanded by He Da He Dangyang, known as the Youyan Iron Cavalry, only has more than 600 war horses, many of which are weak old horses.
You must know that this is Youyan, which itself is a place for producing horses, and the north is a mixed land such as Khitan and Tuyuhun, with good horses everywhere, so a battalion of cavalry can not match a soldier and two horses.
For example, the weapons and armor are even more dilapidated, and the logistical support is also intermittent, especially the salaries of the non-commissioned officers have not been paid for a long time.
In this Lu Long Army alone, except for the Ya Army, almost every army in the other two armies has mutinied, and the reason is that without exception it is due to arrears of pay and food, and even many non-commissioned officers simply sold weapons and horses in the battalion, and finally it developed to the point where officers took the lead.
His companion is relatively upright, but looking at the tattered leather armor on his body, the boots that have cracked under his feet, the white-washed cyan shirt, and the handsome knife with a shiny cowhide rope with a handle but obviously a sharpened edge, you can think of the difficulty of the Lulong army here now.
"Dangyang, when did the Khitans start to move south?"
Wang Miao also came to Heshuo and his party last time, but it was mainly on the territory of the Cheng German army and Wei Bojun, and Lu Longjun's side only went as far as Cangzhou and returned south.
At that time, he also found a lot of Khitans in Cangzhou, but he didn't expect that the number of Khitans in the entire Lulongjun territory was so large, and what he saw and heard on the territory of the Chengde Army, he realized that the Khitans going south seemed to have become a trend.
"It should have been several years, at least the Khitan people in the first year of Jingtai have been everywhere, but at that time there were a lot of people and Xi people, but now the Khitan people far exceed the people of Yan and Xi, and the degree of arrogance is not comparable to that of the people of Yan and Xi. The thin man shook his head, "It's not easy to live in the land of Youyan." ”
Wang Miao was also aware of this, and he went to Youzhou first, and even went to Danzhou, Jizhou and Pingzhou, and almost went to Yingzhou, which was regarded as an inspection of the entire northern Xinjiang region.
Now places like Danzhou, Jizhou, Pingzhou and Yingzhou have actually been controlled by the Khitan, and the Khitans in these states have accounted for a small half, although the Han people are still the majority, but in fact they have been reduced to inferior people, of course, the Han people have the same powerful class, and the Khitans also have poor and miserable people, which is not absolute, but from the ethnic point of view, the Khitans are in power.
However, the actual control area of Lulong Jiedu has retreated to the south of Youzhou, and now only Youzhou, Yizhou, Zhuozhou, Mozhou, Canzhou and Cangzhou are left, and the territory has shrunk a lot, and the Khitans are still moving south, eroding the territory that originally belonged to the Han people, forcing the Han people to go south.
If the current situation continues, it is estimated that the pace of the Khitans going south will be accelerated, like the states under the control of the Cheng German army, I am afraid that it will gradually become the current Lu Long army on the territory of the army.
"Dangyang, haven't you considered other ways out?" Wang Miao quietly picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip, picked up a piece of mutton with sauce with his fingers, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
"Other ways out? Hehe, Jiulang, what else will we do besides fighting in the barracks after more than ten years of mixing in the barracks? What other way out can Jiulang have? Could it be that Jiulang thinks that we also have to go to serve as bodyguards and thugs for those Khitan nobles or businessmen?" The thin man spread his hands, "What is it easy to do now? I can barely fill my stomach in the barracks." ”
"No, Dangyang, I mean why did you hang yourself on a tree in this Lu Longjun? Liu Shouguang is not the master of the people, and he is afraid of the Khitans to this extent, I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before the Lu Longjun changes hands. Wang Miao's eyes were calm.
"It's not completely strange to make the lord, the Khitan people are now very strong in the north, and Daliang is now competing with Hedong, there is not much spare strength to support Heshuo's side, and even count on Heshuo to help them contain Hedong, in this case, how to fight against the Khitans who are getting stronger and stronger?"
The thin man is not an ignorant person, so he explained it for Liu Shouguang.
"So you're going to stay here forever?" Seeing that the thin man didn't answer his question, Wang Miao refused to relax.
"Jiulang, if I don't stay here, where can I go? Not to mention my big family, there are hundreds of brothers down there, where can I go?" The thin man smiled bitterly and said: "If your Wang family is still regarded as the home of the German army, of course I am willing to come to the German army, but now the Zhang family is not the same? The Khitans and the Great Liang are currying favor on both sides." ”
Wang Miao originally wanted to find out, but he still endured it, "Dangyang, what is the relationship between the Khitans and Hedong now?"
"The relationship between the Khitans and the Shatuo people?" the thin man thought for a moment, "I can't tell, I don't know if I'm friend or foe." The Khitan people are now thinking about going south, and there is no way on Lu Long's side, in fact, in the past few years, Daliang hopes that Heshuo's side will respond to them to contain Hedong, and Heshuo's side can only be a show, which Daliang also knows, so Hedong has not seen much of Heshuo's side in recent years, so the relationship between the Khitan people and Hedong also depends on the situation. ”
"What about the Tuyuhun people?" Wang Miao asked again.
"The Tuyuhun people and Hedong are old enemies, and the Helian clan and Hedong are constantly fighting every year, and it is said that the Khitans support the Helian clan behind their backs, but I have only heard about it, and I don't know what the real situation is. Seeing that Wang Miao asked in such detail, the thin man was also a little curious, "Jiulang, didn't you say that you went to Caizhou?
"I'm not in Caizhou anymore. Wang Miao shook his head and laughed, "This trip is to come out to see old friends and old fellows, I didn't expect you to be so difficult here, is it like this here in Lu Longjun? Aren't you the elite of the cavalry?"
"Hehe, elite? The only elite of the Jie Du envoy is the three armies and the tooth army, and the others can be cut and fucked out, if it weren't for the fear of causing a rebellion, I'm afraid that he would have done it a long time ago." The thin man sneered: "Just my battalion, this year's money, food, cloth and silk for the soldiers are still owed half a year, and if it drags on like this, it will be a matter of time before the mutiny continues." ”
Wang Miao knew that Lu Longjiedu made Liu Shouguang's three armies and teeth, with a total of 7,500 people, plus a battalion of personal soldiers, these 8,000 people were Liu Shouguang's reliance, no matter how short they were, these 8,000 soldiers would also be satisfied.
But there are still ten soldiers and horses, so I'm afraid they can only leave in arrears.
I really can't drag it on, so I will send a little, so as not to cause a mutiny, and even Liu Shouguang has already forcibly dismantled the two armies, which has caused a rebellion, so now Liu Shouguang does not dare to say anything about the retrenchment.
There was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, two armored soldiers came up, the thin man's face was a little unhappy, but he was still patient, and one of the soldiers hesitated for a moment before he came over and whispered a few words in the ear of the thin man.
"Oh? indeed?" The thin man's face changed slightly, and he almost stood up all at once, but then realized that Wang Miao was still there, and sat down again, "What about Zhang Yin?"
"The deputy envoy has already gone to reorganize the army, so let his subordinates report to him. The soldier was a little nervous.
The thin man finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up, "You go back first, I'll be back immediately, the orders are not allowed to go out without my orders, I'll go ask first." ”
"Wow. The soldier retreated.
"Jiulang, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink with you today, there is an urgent matter in the camp, I have to go back first. There was a hint of worry between the thin man's eyebrows, but more of it was resentment.
"What's the matter, Dangyang, it's going to be a war?" Wang Miao also stood up and asked.
"Hmph, it would be nice if there was a real fight. The thin man pursed his lips, "At least you can always send a few to the brothers below in the war, and now you have to drag them to death." ”
"Then you are so anxious, what is going on?" Wang Miao asked with concern.
"Well, I'm not afraid of Jiulang's jokes when I say it, the Jiedu Embassy allocated a batch of money and grain, which was supposed to be for the Fifth Army of our Left Wing, and it was considered to settle part of the money and silver in the first half of the year, but the Sixth Army made a noise, saying that their money and silver had not been paid in full last month, and they forcibly wanted to untie part of it. ”
The thin man also had a gloomy face, and he wanted to kill each other for the money and silver of his brothers, and this kind of thing was not uncommon in Lu Longjun, but it was indeed a little helpless when it fell on him.
"Your army commander wants to prepare to use swords?" Wang Miao didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to Hejian this time, although he had long known that Lu Longjun's condition was bad, but he didn't expect it to be so bad that he would actually kill each other for a batch of money and food, which was also incredible.
"I can't say, the Sixth Army mutiny once last year, after the rectification, but the four battalions of men, and they are also incomplete, they are also the object that the Jiedu Embassy has always wanted to remove, this time I am afraid that it will be forced to be ruthless, so this decision will be made, but if you want to fight our Fifth Army's money and food idea, it is a miscalculation. The thin man had already casually lifted the handsome knife resting on the stool next to him, and arched his hand, "Jiulang, I can't accompany you today, you can rest here for two days now, and when this matter is dealt with, we will come to drink again." ”
