Luo Fang is a very competent county magistrate. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Clever" and "cunning" are in many cases synonymous. As a county commander, Luo Fang does not lack ability in government affairs, but for the Yue barbarians who often enter the country to plunder, Luo Fang has no better way than to organize the people of Cai County to become a militia group.

The first battle killed 20,000 Yue barbarians, and it was a great victory no matter what. However, there are always two sides to the story. If this side wins, that side will naturally retaliate. The number of Vietnamese people entering the country this time was as high as 150,000, and for the time being, regardless of the Vietnamese barbarian army scattered in various places, the troops directly under the command of General Nguyen Tran Hung alone amounted to more than 100,000. These situations have been written down by Cao Hui in the emergency reports of various places, and Luo Fang is also very clear about this. Of course, Yang Tianhong's practice of letting go of the captives and letting the people of Cai County slaughter is actually very necessary. It's just that in this way, Cai County has become an important place that must be broken through and then slaughtered in the eyes of the Yue barbarians.

The Chu people want revenge.

The Yue people also want to take revenge.

If the Xuanhuo army leaves, once the Yue army comes, the people of Cai County will still be killed cleanly.

Luo Fang's thoughts could not be concealed from Yang Tianhong's eyes.

Looking at the corpses everywhere, he smiled faintly.

"Since Ben is here, he won't leave. Before that, Ben General had already let go of a few fast-legged Yue barbarians. In a few days, presumably Ruan Chen Xiong Wei will get the news. The 20,000 Yue barbarian army is not a small number, and with the national strength of the Yue people, they categorically cannot accept the loss of so many young and strong people. Cai County is the battlefield chosen by the general, as long as he Ruan Chen Xiong dares to come, he doesn't have to leave. ”

Yang Tianhong raised his head, followed the gradually bright sky, and flew into the distance. His black hair fluttered in the morning breeze, and his armor reflected a dazzling golden sheen.

......

Weather in southern Xinjiang. It's always hot. Even in the cold winter, the temperature here is still more than 20 degrees Celsius. Clothes like padded jackets can never be sold here, and even if you sit there motionless, you will still sweat, and there are countless stoves baking in front of and behind you, and the heat is so hot that you can still take off your clothes. I can't wait to peel off my skin, and only bones remain.

Riding on the horse, Ruan Chenxiong's eyes were gloomy. Looking at the long and invisible line in front of him, his swarthy face became more and more cold, and he was out of step with the unbearable heat around him.

The barbarian soldiers that Yang Tianhong let go of really ran fast, and Ruan Chen Xiong Yan learned the news of the annihilation of Ruan Chen Chunying's entire army at the first time.

Surprised.

I feel a little funny, and subconsciously feel impossible.

This absurd and comical psychology lasted for only a few seconds, and after a few moments, Nguyen Chen's brain had been ruled by rage.

20,000 people. That's 20,000 Yue warriors!

What is Cai County?

It has been captured several times by the Yue army. The stubbornness and stubbornness of the Chu people have not been understood by Ruan Chen Xiong until now. Maybe the land was indeed fertile, or maybe the Chu people found it easier to build a house on a ruin. In the past few hundred years, Cai County has been destroyed by war again and again, and has been rebuilt again and again. The walls were built taller and heavier each time, and the soldiers defending the city were more and more fierce each time. But what can the result be? In front of the invincible warriors of our Dayue tribe, the Chu people can only become our food, and their wealth, money, and food will always be in the pocket of our Dayue tribe.

There are also women from the state of Chu......

Come to think of it. Ruan Chen Xiong subconsciously put his hand into the leather bag and stroked the smooth and hard skull.

This skull belonged to a woman from the Chu Kingdom. When the county seat of Qingsui was attacked. The Yue warriors found her in the county office. It is said that the woman was a distant relative of the county commander Dou Weixian, and because she was afraid of death, she did not have the courage to commit suicide, so she was caught by the Yue people. Strictly speaking, the woman wasn't pretty. Of course. The standard of beauty or not is to judge according to the eyes of the people of Chu. But in Ruan Chen's eyes, this woman is already a rare beauty. The barbarian aesthetic view is very different from that of the civilized world. It may also be because Ruan Chen Xiong Yan has indeed never seen any beauties. It was only by virtue of his own hobbies that he became interested in the woman's smooth and white skin. And the woman was a little fat, and she felt good to the touch. I'm used to seeing the rough hands and rough skin. Ruan Chen, of course, felt that this loot was the most in line with his appetite.

The most direct way for a man to occupy a woman is to vent physiologically. Nguyen Chen Xiong is no exception. He didn't understand that too much body friction could cause swelling and congestion, but he thought the woman's screams sounded very enjoyable. After day and night of collision, Ruan Chen Xiong did not feel tired, but had an indescribable excitement. If it weren't for the Yue captives who fled back to report the news, he would not have been angry on the spot, and he would not have crushed the woman's throat alive, and her entire chest would have been ripped off on the spot.

As the commander of the Vietnamese army, Nguyen Tran Hung is certainly not going to make mistakes. However, the anger must be subdued, and the anger of killing the woman he loves by mistake adds fuel to his fire, and he orders the killing of all the Yue people who fled back on the spot.

It seems to be rough and barbaric, but in fact, Ruan Chenxiong's approach is very clever. He fundamentally blocked the news, cut off the dead woman's head with his own hands, ordered the skin and flesh to be washed, dried and oiled, and kept by his side as an eternal toy and memorial.

There are certain practices of the Yue people that the civilized world can never understand.

They hate someone, and they will cut off their heads, carry their skulls with them, or make them into drinking vessels, as an eternal curse on their enemies.

They love someone and will use the same method to show their longing and intimacy for the deceased. In short, every Yue person will carry several of these bones on their bodies. Among them, there may be their own fathers and mothers, or they may have stepfathers and stepmothers, unique and barbaric customs and habits, which can only make people sigh at the size of the world, and there are no surprises.

Nguyen Chen's army has been stationed in Thanh Sui. He divided 60,000 troops to attack the rest of the states and counties, and led 70,000 troops to sit in the center. In fact, this practice is also a common trick of the Yue people over the years. With this heavy army here, Anzhou will definitely not act rashly. Correspondingly, for the distress documents of various states and counties, Cao Hui could only send a small number of reinforcements, or simply ignore them. After all, Anju City has a special status. Compared to the rest of the states, there is no room for error.

Not all Yue people are barbarians, Ruan Chen Xiong Wei has read a lot of Chu anthologies, knows that there is a saint named Kong Laoer, knows that the women of Chu are as beautiful as flowers, and the talented people of Chu are good at poetry and writing. Ruan Chen Xiong was actually very envious of the world behind Panshi Pass. He felt that he shouldn't be a Yue general, and only when he really walked into the Chu State and came into contact with those Chu people would he feel that he was living like a human being, not a barbarian who drank blood.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the attendant next to him handed over a cotton towel very attentively, and Ruan Chen Xiong wiped his sweat, and his mood became more and more depressed.

Even a sweat towel was made by the Chu people.

No way, the Yue people really don't know how to make these things. The threads spun by the Yue people are thick and messy. It is very uncomfortable to wear clothes woven into clothes, but it is still the clothes of the Chu people that are breathable and cool to wear.

The same goes for weapons. The weapons made by the craftsmen of the Chu State were sharp and hard, and every time they came back from plundering, the weapons of the Chu State would cause a scramble among the Yue people. A long knife with a good steel fire can be exchanged for ten cows. Of course, this was the price many years ago. Now, there are more and more good things snatched back from Anzhou, and naturally it is impossible to be as valuable as in previous years.

The Yue people robbed the Chu people on the side. While learning the rules of the Chu people, he set up a king. The royal city was built.

Thinking of this, Ruan Chen Xiong couldn't help but shake his head, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Yue Wang is an idiot who doesn't understand anything. The so-called royal city is nothing more than a stockade made of bamboo, wood and mountain stones. Of course, the size of the village is much larger than before, and it is also divided into civilian and wealthy areas. A jumble of stones made up a wall. Wrap the whole stockade in the middle.

The previous generation of King Yue was a warrior, but he died a very bad death. That guy likes women, and every night he sleeps with several women in bed. Maybe it's because the congestion is too fast, the nerves are tense, and the blood vessels in the body are bursting...... That time. King Yue kept shouting that it hurt down and urinated blood from time to time. The Yue people did not have the habit of bathing, and the filth that could not be described in words, coupled with the rupture of the wound, the king of Yue cried wolf in bed for several months, and finally died.

According to the medical philosophy of another world, it is actually tetanus. It's just that the triggering site is a bit special, which makes people think about it.

Many people are coveting the throne of King Yue, and under the scramble of all parties, there is a strange situation of letting a ten-year-old child ascend the throne. Of course, this is for the sake of balance, and it is also for all the pretenders to the throne to temporarily put aside their scruples, accumulate strength, and prepare for a more violent counterattack.

Ruan Chen Xiong was originally a royal family, and he himself wanted to sit in that seat. However, this kind of thing can only be thought about casually in the head at the moment. If you really want to make a move, you can only wait until this plunder is victorious.

After getting the news of the annihilation of Ruan Chen Chunying's army, Ruan Chen Xiong understood that the word "total victory" had nothing to do with him. If you continue to stay in Qingsui and don't make any moves, maybe you will be completely deprived of your right to command the army after you go back. When the time comes, there will really be nothing left.

Since the Chu people have killed our 20,000 Yue warriors, they must at least use more than ten times their heads as compensation. Before that, the army from the land of Chu must be killed first.

So, the whole army pulled out the camp and went to Cai County.

Qingsui is not far from Cai County in a straight line, but the mountains are high and the forests are deep, and many places have to detour, coupled with dense forests and steep terrain, the marching speed of the Yue people will inevitably slow down.

This road was walked many years ago. There is a very large valley in front, as long as you pass through, there are more than sixty miles, and you will reach Cai County.

The team of 70,000 people was very large, and it continued to occupy the entire road. With Anju's financial resources, it is simply impossible to renovate the roads in the territory. It had just rained last night, and the ground was muddy, and it was slippery to walk on. Now that the sun is out, the temperature has risen suddenly, and there are many mosquitoes than usual.

Ruan Chenxiong didn't like this kind of ghost place at all. From the mouths of those Chu captives, he had heard all kinds of descriptions of the land of Chu. It was a heavenly world, a place inhabited by humans. And the royal city of the Yue people...... In contrast, it is a pig's nest.

When he arrived in Cai County, Lao Tzu wanted to kill everyone there.

Ruan Chen's resentment continued to expand as the temperature gradually increased. He called one of the nearby guards: "Send someone over and ask where the striker is now, and has the scout who sent out come back?"

Ruan Chen Xiong is a barbarian, but he can be regarded as a qualified general. Although he was familiar with the environment, he was not careless. There were hundreds of scouts sent back and forth. Following the direction of the marching of the army, he explored the surrounding mountains and forests. The results of the return were also satisfactory: no Chu ambushes were found.

As for the striker, he has already entered the valley and is halfway there. It's just that the weather is really hot, and the soldiers are very angry and ask to rest nearby. Avoid the hottest midday sun and wait until the afternoon is cooler before moving on.

Riding on a horse, you can already see the entrance to the valley not far away. Ruan Chen Xiong put his hand on his forehead, and he also felt that this burst of sunlight was really dazzling. The scouts are very conscientious, and if there is a Chu army appearing, they will definitely sound the alarm as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Ruan Chen Xiong raised his horsewhip, pointed to the wooded valley, and ordered: "The valley in front is much cooler than this one. Pick up the pace, we'll get there and rest again. ”

......

On the official road leading to Anzhou from the Jingshi Division of the State of Chu, there was also a team.

The total number of officers and men of the Ruifeng Battalion and the Ironclad Battalion combined exceeded 40,000. Of course, this is a figure written on paper for the higher-ranking officials of the imperial court. If we talk about the actual soldiers, all the old, weak, sick and disabled add up, at most 19,000.

Bao Yong, the commander of the Ruifeng battalion, is short in stature and dark-skinned. But it's very flexible. Although he was riding a horse, he didn't want to pick up the whip and speed up. The horses under the crotch are quite majestic. As if he understood what his master meant, the four hooves walked very casually on the road, and from time to time opened their mouths to pick up the green grass blades from the side of the road, and chewed slowly and contentedly.

The soldiers walked listlessly. The spear was on his shoulder, and the flag was crooked. The wood-wheeled cart squirmed along the line, the bearing joints lacking oil lubrication making a squeaky grinding sound. The cicadas in the trees seem to have found their soulmates. It was even more desperate to let out a joyful sound, and everyone listened to it for a while, and suddenly scolded in their mouths.

"Damn it, I know, call you a fuck! Believe it or not, Lao Tzu shot your **** down with an arrow, roasted it on the fire and ate it?"

"What's there to do with the brutes? I think you're well fed. If you have that kung fu to scold the insects, it is better to save your energy and walk. ”

"Damn the Yue barbarians, if it weren't for these bastards, Lao Tzu would still be in Jingshi to enjoy happiness, where would he run to such a ghost place and get hot and sweaty?"

"You're not right. This has to do with the bullshit of the Yue barbarians? You are clumsy and don't know what is going on outside. Have you heard? This large-scale deployment of troops was the idea of Yang Tianhong, the commander of the Xuanhuo Army. He played the court in one book, saying that he wanted to let the Yue people come and go, but the Xuanhuo army was a total of 10,000 horses, which dragged us down. ”

"I've also heard that the Xuanhuo Army was originally a Jingshi patrol battalion like us. Didn't they suppress bandits in Luoping Mountain before, and the gang of killers in the Xuanhuo Camp rushed to the front one by one. From the bandit leader to the thief, they have all wrapped up the round, and we haven't even left a mouthful of soup. Of course, all the credit went to them, and they directly changed from the patrol battalion to the Beijing division garrison. Last time, Chen Ergou went to the Xuanhuo Army to do business, and after he came back, he was so envious that he died. It was said that the Xuanhuo Army gang killed the big fish and meat, and the mouths and skins of the people who ate them were full of oil. Alas, people eat well and run fast, how can they be like us, there is no oil and water in the food, what the hell are they on the front line? What kind of battle are you fighting?"

"The Yue people are not easy to mess with, between the mountains and forests, one by one is like flying, separated by a distance of 100 zhang, a bow and arrow shoot out of nowhere. Pointing out that your eyes will never shoot you in the nose, the previous crusade army has not fallen well, basically 10,000 horses went to Anzhou, and only two or three hundred were left when they came back. This time, let's go over, and it is estimated that it is also Xuan. According to me, the Yue people are in trouble in Anzhou, and we have to deal with the birds? Why do we have to go and wipe our butts in Anzhou? Besides, this is Suizhou after passing the Panshi Pass, even if the Yue barbarians are cruel by nature, it's a big deal that we retreat to the Panshi Pass, can those mountain monkeys still be able to climb over the pass?"

Bao Yong rode on his horse, his face sinking like water, but his ears listened carefully to the indignant comments of the soldiers around him.

How could a group of big-headed soldiers who couldn't even read a word talk casually about the affairs of the imperial court?

Thinking of this, Bao Yong couldn't help but turn his head and turned his gaze to Fu Congzhi, the commander of the ironclad battalion, who was also walking beside him on horseback.

Compared with Bao Yong, Fu Congzhi's skin is much whiter. Although he is a military attaché, Fu Congzhi attaches great importance to his personal image. His clothes are very clean and he has to change them every day. The accessories on his waist obviously became a burden to Fu Congzhi, he simply handed over all the weapons to the attendants, but he held a white paper fan in his hand, shaking his head and fanning the cool breeze.

Walking among the soldiers in secret, this is Fu Congzhi's plan. Bao Yong was noncommittal. Regarding the matter of sending troops to Anzhou, Bao Yong and Fu Congzhi had the same attitude, reluctant, and did not want to go at all. The problem is that this kind of thing is not something that you can refuse if you say no. There is an imperial order on it, if you dare to say half a "no", you will be sentenced to a crime of disobedience immediately.

Bao Yong was not optimistic about this battle.

The army of the Yue people was too many, a full 150,000. Although the generals all knew that the numbers on paper were inaccurate, Bao Yong did not think so.

Many generals of the Chu army had the habit of eating empty salaries. This has probably become a well-known practice in the military. As a result, the number of soldiers who can be brought out is certainly not as large as on paper. I know my own troubles, the Ruifeng battalion is full of 20,000 people, in fact, it is about 10,000 at most. Moreover, the weapons are broken, the swords and guns are rusty, and it is no wonder that this kind of army is undefeated in battle. (To be continued.) )
