This time, Zhang Jiashi did not say a word to Chen Ping, that is, although this operation is inclined to the corresponding combat plan based on material plunder, but, in a certain sense, it is not a combat power attrition operation against the Donghu people, especially the Donghu tribe of Suger in the area near the Great Wall?

The information he heard from some of the detailed work he sent to the Donghu region was that during this period of fighting, the two major leaders of Donghu who had fallen into civil strife, although they seemed to be evenly matched, Zabekh, who lacked "roots", could no longer support them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info天籁novel.23txt.

Even Zabekh, which was located in the northern region of what is now Jilin and regained some land, was at a disadvantage in several small encounters with Suger.

Zhang Jiashi naturally couldn't sit back and watch Zabehe be directly eliminated by Suger, after all, if Suger was allowed to stabilize the situation in Donghu in a short period of time, even if the vitality of the Donghu people was greatly damaged, Zhang Jiashi had to guard against whether Donghu would take advantage of his westward entry into the Xianyang area and take the opportunity to go south in the future.

Zhang Jiashi does not have the character of fighting on multiple fronts and then looking for abuse.

In this case, letting the Donghu people fall into the quagmire of civil war for a longer period of time has a very positive impact on him, for General Zuo's Mansion, and on the pacification of the entire chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

Although the Donghu people are also a people bred by the tribes that migrated north from Zhuxia, since they have no such plan now, and Zhang Jiashi, who also does not have the foundation to seek the so-called great integration of nationalities, naturally will not do such a thankless task.

Anyway, in a sense, Samhan, who is the ancestor of the later Goryeo sticks, under the order of Zhang Jiashi, is about to become a historical term, and Zhang Jiashi does not mind that the Donghu people also become a historical term.

The so-called great integration of nationalities, this high-spirited and bright thing, Zhang Jiashi thinks that without this capital, he can only reap the consequences of slapping his swollen face and becoming fat.

It's like the Han and Tang dynasties in the future, maybe this kind of thing has corresponding inevitable factors, but for many reasons, Zhang Jiashi doesn't need to know whether this approach has a good result, what he needs to know is how to fulfill the promise he made to these people who trust him.

......

Zhang Jiashi, who got up early the next morning, gently hugged Yu Ji's delicate body, which was still asleep, and his thoughts quickly shifted to the attacking troops.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

In the days that followed, the attacking Qin troops did not disperse their forces too much, but gradually penetrated into the area of the Donghu people with a distance of less than 30 kilometers apart, with a central advance formation of one front and two behind.

And the troops at the forefront were not Su Teng's main force, but the knight troops of Li Shang's first school. During the march of the past few days, the Li Shang Division defeated three small tribes of Donghu people with a number of less than 5,000 people, and even a small tribe of Donghu people with a number of less than 2,000 people.

The reason why he defeated the opponent rather than completely destroyed it was that Li Shang knew that he had to obey military orders and act instead of making his own decisions.

In these skirmishes, the resistance of the Donghu people was quite weak. Perhaps because Suger became the only king of the Donghu people in order to establish Donghu and become the only king of the Donghu people, in the case of a tug-of-war with Zabehe, Suger sent a considerable number of prime people to the north, leaving only a small number of old, weak, sick and disabled men.

In this case, as a striker, Li Shang is of course easy to win, but in a sense, this easy victory makes Li Shang have no sense of achievement.

Moreover, in terms of the corresponding materials and seizures obtained from these small tribes, it is also difficult to satisfy the personnel, including Su Teng.

After all, these small tribes would not have too many livestock to be plundered by the attacking Qin troops.

On the fourth day after the attacking troops entered the area controlled by the Donghu people, Su Teng, as the commander, ordered several lieutenants under his command and the corresponding two or five hundred lords to return to the Chinese army camp for a meeting.

......

In contrast to the information Zhang Jiashi obtained, the tribe that was supposed to go south to spend the winter at this time did not appear at all. This also leads to the problem that, in the absence of large tribes, it seems that they should venture into the hinterland of the Donghu and then seek out large tribes to obtain more livestock.

It's just that Sun Po knows very well that he is taking a risk by doing so, and after he entered General Zuo's Mansion in the battle last year, he naturally understands something.

It is clear that they have a certain amount of preparation this time, but once they are entangled with the large-scale Donghu people, they will kill themselves, and Sun Po, who repeats the mistakes of the past, after discussing with Su Teng, who is also worried about this problem, decided to synthesize the ideas of middle and high-level officers, and then decide the next step again.

After nearly three hours of the herald's departure, the herald did not come back alone, but brought the other two captains and the corresponding two or five hundred lords to Su Teng and the others.

Before the meeting began, after entering the camp built by a shallow river, with Su Teng's headquarters as the escort and the crossbow chariot unit led by Xiahou Ying as the escort, the officers, including Li Shang, could see that in the shallows near the river, many people were washing their furs or leather jackets.

From these leather jackets, it seems that some obvious blood stains can still be seen on the officers' faces, their faces twitch involuntarily. Naturally, they know exactly what these things are.

After all, although it was not a tribe that completely wiped out the Donghu people, the casualties of the Donghu people were still quite heavy.

The cavalry units responsible for vigilance and combat are naturally not used to accomplish such things. Among the 2,000 wagons that followed, there were a considerable number of prisoners who were transferred accordingly.

Not only that, but there are also a lot of other corresponding personnel, such as civilians who are good at herding herds, and so on.

The prisoners had an easy job, which was to strip the dead Donghu people of their skins and bury them. Some of them are responsible for cleaning and mending the leather jackets, or slaughtering some sheep and processing them accordingly to make jerky or fur.

This kind of preliminary processing, it is naturally difficult to make the corresponding leather products, after all, the smell of sheepskin is very strong, and the leather jacket or leather jacket made directly is not a few people can wear it directly.

This kind of reprocessing step must be carried out in Dingxiang County, after all, even if Zhang Jiashi has such an arrangement, under the condition of acting with the army, the corresponding leather products cannot be made.

That's why Zhang Jiashi arranged a large number of horse-drawn carriages to process them on the spot, and transported these furs or leather jackets and other things.

Of course, not only that, but depriving a dead person of clothes or something, of course, is really a bit ugly.

But these officers also know very well that their Sun Junshi is a little ugly compared to the one who eats it, but they also know that the boss who has covered it up, Zhang Jiashi, the left general of the Great Qin Empire, in a sense, is even more below the lower limit.

After two Donghu camps lost their ability to resist and lost hope of breaking through, the surviving women, children and elderly people were distinguished.

According to a hundred generals under the command of Xiahou Ying, after Sun Po entered this camp, he ordered a part of the infantry guards to dispose of these people who were divided into old men.

What exactly does this treatment mean, many people's hearts are like mirrors.

The few remaining women and children were tied up with ropes and thrown into some of the vacant carriages.

There were many people who saw this scene for the first time, and they were a little dissatisfied in their hearts, but after some knightly officers who had been transferred and reorganized from the Korean region told the truth that none of these people knew, they didn't think that there was anything great about such a thing.

"You underestimate these literati too much, their hearts are very black, it's not the first time we've done such a thing, just like those savages called Sanhan, aren't they being dealt with like this?"

There are times when some people feel guilty about feeling that they did something wrong the first time. But once you know that they are not the first to do such a wrong thing, do you take such a thing for granted?

The human mind is often quite wonderful, like this thought.

Therefore, many people don't think it's a big deal when they see some Donghu women and children tied up in the carriage.

Of course, no one dared to do anything, as did the convicts who accompanied the army.

After all, Su Teng and Sun Po, the two highest-ranking officers in charge of commanding this operation, have already spoken, that is, the whereabouts of these people, they will not disclose it for the time being, but whoever dares to do something against military discipline will have to weigh whether his neck is hard.

In order to carry out some more effective deterrence, Sun Po also arranged for some people to reveal some information in the army, that is, during the operation in the Samhan area, many officers and soldiers who violated military discipline were directly executed.

There is such a situation, but there is no such number of people as the news is revealed. In the corresponding military discipline handling in the entire Korean region, only more than 70 officers and men under Zhang Jiashi's command were directly displayed to the public. Others are more of a small matter and suffer corresponding punishments.

In order to solve the problem of military discipline, Zhang Jiashi ordered the merit cao or merit record clerk in each 100-person unit to become military discipline enforcers.

In non-wartime situations, these military discipline officers have the right to redeploy personnel to solve the corresponding problems, and the priority is quite high.

Zhang Jiashi did not want to make such an arrangement, but under the influence of the unpredictable situation, Zhang Jiashi had to order the establishment of a corresponding military law enforcement team.

I have to say, the effect in this regard looks quite good.

Of course, there is one thing that Zhang Jiashi also has to take precautions for. That is, if the members of the military justice team themselves violate military discipline, how should they deal with it?

In order to solve this problem, Zhang Jiashi, in addition to adding corresponding benefits to these military justice groups, also formulated a point that if a member of the military justice group violates military discipline by himself, the crime will be increased by one degree.

Whether this will have an effect or not, Zhang Jiashi himself does not have an accurate number in his heart. However, in the case of the balance of two evils tending to be less, Zhang Jiashi can only make such an arrangement.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Li Shang was the last lieutenant to enter the camp. After sitting in his place, Li Shang heard Sun Po, who had a rather calm expression, say a sentence:

"It should be clear to all of you that, in contrast to the information received by General Zuo, it seems that the Donghu people did not move south on a large scale in winter as usual. It also begs the question, where do we go from here?"

Hearing Sun Po's words, many people couldn't help but exchange their opinions with others.

Li Shang heard what his adjutant An Zun said to him: "Captain Li, this matter is indeed more difficult to handle, if we are too far away from the Liaodong territory, if something happens, I am afraid that General Zuo will also be difficult to support." ”

Li Shang heard An Zun's words and nodded slightly.

He was a deputy lieutenant An Zun, who could be said to be the only lieutenant in the entire General Zuo's Mansion, and Li Shang was naturally a little unhappy at first. But just as Zhang Jiashi deduced, Li Shiqi would not let Li Shang go out with this kind of thought.

After a long night of talking with his uncle, knowing that he could not reassure many people as a captain, at least on the premise that Chen Ping was more suspicious now, there was a deputy lieutenant with a lot of experience and qualifications by his side, so that Li Shang, the lieutenant, could make most people feel more at ease.

Li Shang thinks that he can become a middle and senior officer at this time, and he has considerable confidence, but it does not mean that people other than Zhang Jiashi can be completely at ease with him. Li Shiqi knew very well that Zhang Jiashi made this arrangement more to protect Li Shang from being deliberately attacked by some people.

Li Shang asked his uncle Li Shiqi a question at the time, Han Duwei (Han Xin)'s age and qualifications are also quite short and shallow, but why can he achieve the position of lieutenant second only to the three (Zuo General Zhang Jiashi, Liaodong Commander Su Jiao, and Korean Commander Yujian), and vaguely one of the lieutenant-level officers under Zhang Jiashi?

After hearing this question from his nephew, who was considered diligent, but obviously didn't think much about the problem, Li Shiqi almost didn't die of anger. He could only say: "Have you ever commanded troops in battle? Have you ever made meritorious contributions on the battlefield? If General Zuo hadn't thought that your strength was up to the post, I'm afraid you would have been nothing more than a 2,500 master." ”

Hearing Li Shiqi's words, Li Shang pondered for a long time before he realized such a factor.

As Li Shiqi said, among the more than 30 captains under General Zuo's Mansion, in addition to him, even Du Cong, who is not a captain, basically has actual merits or has quite thick qualifications.

(Chung To's military rank is a captain, but his strength is comparable to the rank of captain, and Zhang Jiashi intends to promote Chung to lieutenant after the Navy 6 squad has reached a certain size, and is responsible for the command of the Navy 6 squadron.) ）

Li Shang, who clearly realized this, did not look too proud in the past few days, whether it was combat or ordinary negotiations, but was very respectful to his deputy An Zun, at least, An Zun could feel that Li Shang at least put him in his equal position.

In this case, An Zun's communication with Li Shang made Sun Po smile after seeing it in his eyes.

......

In this meeting, almost all the so-called captains and two or five hundred lords were not inclined to continue the choice of going north.

Some of the two or five hundred lords were the survivors of the knight troops that attacked Donghu last year, and they still remember very clearly, if it weren't for the timely arrival of Zhang Jiashi's army, I am afraid that he and a considerable number of troops would have suffered casualties on that small hill and wiped out the entire army.

If last year's scene had happened, no one would have been able to guarantee that they would have been so lucky, and there was no guarantee that reinforcements would not have appeared in time.

So, they came up with some ideas, or supported what they thought was more feasible.

After Su Teng and Sun Po made statistics, they then came up with two plans that had a large number of people:

The first is to start from the current area, go north for a hundred miles, explore westward, and then after a certain distance, go south along the periphery of the Great Wall in Liaoxi County, and turn back to Liaodong.

The second is to start from the current area, go to the northeast and enter the southern part of the mountainous area, follow the periphery of the mountain range, gradually clear the tribes of the Donghu people, and finally reach the easternmost area of the Great Wall, and then return to Liaodong.

These two options have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of the first option is that Suger, as the largest tribal leader south of Donghu, and with its roots in the northern part of the Great Wall region, the possibility of finding large tribes is correspondingly increased.

The shortcomings are also obvious, that is, for the ambiguous attitude of the garrison of Liaoxi County, Su Teng and Sun Po both believe that if they fight with Liaoxi County because of this, General Zuo's Mansion will fall into passivity.

Moreover, if Suger had mobilized heavy troops to chase after him from behind, and had been attacked by the enemy on his back, it was estimated that the end would not be better than continuing to go deeper.

The advantages of the second option correspond to the disadvantages of the first option. Because in this area, the strength of the Donghu people is relatively weak, as long as they don't take the initiative to fight the Sushen people, they can be regarded as safe and sound along the way.

Moreover, if there is really any problem, as long as it can support it for a period of time, the garrison in the Great Wall area can also support it in time.

The downside is that there is a high probability that they will be in vain. After all, in the current situation, the control of the Donghu people in this area is quite weak. Perhaps, the tribe they encountered was not the Donghu people but the Sushen people, after all, this kind of thing of beating the water dogs and taking the opportunity to annex the territory to show their strength, if the Sushen people were not stupid, they would do it.

The two plans, to put it bluntly, are just a trade-off between the two directions.

Either seek stability or gamble.

For these two roads, the people in the camp quickly made a choice.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

On November 13, 2o9 B.C., one of Suger's henchmen, Haleka, who was now the leader of several large tribes in the southern region of Donghu, raised his hand angrily and watched as the enemy, who had been pursuing for four days, gradually entered the interior of the Great Wall through a tight and murderous phalanx of infantry under the help of Qin Dog's reinforcements.

After watching the last Qin knight disappear into the military formation, Haleka hated so much that he broke off his horsewhip pole directly.

"What are we going to do, Leader?" asked a henchman of Haleka cautiously.

Haleka looked at the military array in front of him and the stretching Great Wall, and then at the riders behind him, who were less than 5,000 people, and roared helplessly: "Withdraw!"

In the middle of the military formation, Zhang Jiashi, who was riding on the red cloud, looked angrily at Li Shang, who personally led the army to break off and led away the main force of Halka, and then patted the other party's shoulder: "Although you have done a good job, but this general thinks that you are not qualified for the position of knight lieutenant for the time being, well, do you have complaints?"

Li Shang was stunned for a moment, and finally could only shake his head in silence.

He is indeed brave and good, but if it weren't for An Zun, who is now seriously injured and fainting, I am afraid he would have died in the pursuit of the Donghu people.

Zhang Jiashi's punishment, he naturally accepted it. After all, after Sun Po accepted the task, he repeatedly emphasized that if it was not necessary, he could not fight with the Donghu people.

But he didn't do that one order.

Zhang Jiashi didn't want to say this, this time he was able to solve a big problem before the cold winter came, and Li Shang had a great contribution.

Zhang Jiashi sighed, and then said, "You can have a good rest." ”

"Whew!" Li Shang's mood was a little low.

Zhang Jiashi looked at the smoke and dust raised by the Donghu people who retreated in the northwest direction, and Zhang Jiashi felt his face cold.

He looked up, saw the little white flowers that kept falling in the sky, and muttered, "It's snowing." ”
