Chapter Ninety-Four: The Rebellion
He Bai and his entourage looked at Taiyuan County, and along the way, they saw the Shangdang County soldiers escorting the team of the Qihu people looking north. He Bai couldn't help frowning when he saw it, what's going on? Didn't you seduce the Karma people, how did you become a capturing Karma people?
He Bailing hurried to the county boundary between Taiyuan and Shangdang County, only to see a huge military camp standing on the side of Taiyuan, and from time to time I saw Shangdang County soldiers escorting the Qihu people to hand over with Taiyuan County soldiers. Every time someone is handed over, they can get a lot of money, and the Shangdang county soldiers happily bow their hands and thank them.
He Bai hit his horse and went up, and immediately there was a private sergeant of the He family dressed as a soldier of Taiyuan County, standing solemnly, with a gun in his left hand and his right knee kneeling, performing an ancient military salute. "Meet my lord."
He Bai frowned slightly, he wanted to change the ancient kneeling etiquette, but the sitting posture of the people of the time was kneeling, and he did not feel very humiliated by kneeling, and He Bai could not change the rules of China for thousands of years based on his own preferences alone, after all, his own concept is just his own concept, and it does not mean that the whole world must accept this concept.
He Baiyu immediately asked, "After the ceremony, who is the main person in the camp?" ”
The soldier stood up and said: "Back to the lord, the camp is dominated by Luo joining the army and becoming a military marquis." ”
He Bai led the people to ride in, and not long after, there were more than ten officers such as Luo Pei and Cheng Qi who heard the news to greet them, and everyone went to the main tent together. Occasionally, a child cries, but before he counts, he is caressed by someone. The whole barracks were lifeless, without the slightest bit of life.
He Bai frowned, pointed at the Qianhu people and asked, "What's going on, why didn't you send a message to lure it, but forcibly capture and send it?" ”
Luo Pei arched his hand and said, "Lord, I don't want such trouble. After receiving the letter, the subordinates immediately set off to visit the Shangdang Taishou in the Shangdang County Government. At the beginning, the Shangdang was very reluctant, believing that although the Qianhu people were not Han people, they could collect some taxes from them every year. His subordinates said that the people were poor, and even if there were 10,000 people, it was rare to pay millions of taxes every year. Moreover, it is a good thing to transfer him out of the party. The subordinate also made the decision to give him 10 million money as a thank you, so that he could get his permission. ”
The document said that the lord wants to summon the lord as a slave, and he will have enough food and clothing every day to support him, and the tax will be borne by the lord alone. Unexpectedly, the prejudice of the Qianhu people against our Han people is too deep, and no one believes that there will be such a good thing. And for ten days there were not a few of the Qianghu people who came to cast their votes. ”
In order to complete the task assigned by the lord, the subordinates had no choice but to ask the party and the county soldiers to behead each other. After another ten days, Fang captured six or seven thousand of the Qianhu people. He was also afraid that the Hu people would flee, so he invited Cheng Junhou to lead thousands of soldiers to come to help. So far, the total billable money is more than 17 million yuan. ”
He Bai shook his head secretly, Luo Pei has great military knowledge, and the general direction is not bad, but this specific political aspect is not very satisfactory. He Bai could see at a glance that Luo Pei was cheated by the party Taishou, and the pit was not light, and he didn't know that he had bought slaves twice.
Moreover, after the Qianghu came, Luo Pei had no specific arrangements, but just allowed the Qianghu to live in the military camp and connect with each other. If you don't take too many precautions, who knows that the Qianghu people who are like frightened birds will not suddenly riot. It seems that this specific handling of political affairs and management is Luo Pei's shortcoming, and he can only be a good staff officer.
Before He Bai could say anything, suddenly the Qihu people who were standing in twos and threes around suddenly shouted, and all of them rushed towards He Bai and the others. Although he was unarmed, he was still violent and ferocious, and he regarded He Bai as the biggest enemy, rushing like a moth to a fire.
Luo Pei was shocked when he saw it, and urgently called, "Protect the lord." Cheng Qi and other officers hurriedly surrounded He Bai and commanded the guards to set up a formation to prepare for quelling the chaos on the spot. Han Meng and other ten Han disciples first joined He Bai's command, intending to show their hands in order to gain a foothold in the army. Without waiting for the command of Cheng Qi and the others, Qi Qi rushed towards the suddenly rioting Qianhu people under the leadership of Han Meng, leaving Han Qiong to protect He Bai.
He Bai saw that there were not many rioters among the Qianhu people, only four or five hundred young people, and there was no one to command, and there were no weapons and armor, and the chaos was not in a queue. It does not appear to have been an organized and premeditated riot, but a temporary outbreak of its own incurrence. At this time, he was protected by more than 70 well-equipped officers and guards, and the people of the Qiang Hu could be said to be vulnerable.
He Bai sat on his horse and shouted, "The people of Qianhu can not be killed, and spare their lives." ”
The children of the Han clan, who had already taken the lead in the conflict, had no choice but to change their stabbing to sweep and knock the oncoming Qihu rioters to the ground one by one. I saw Han Meng riding alone in front, the iron spear in his hand was like a piece of pear blossom, and with a quick and fast shot, he knocked over all the rioters or swept or stabbed, and his brave posture was completely revealed among the unarrayed rioters.
The other nine Han disciples are not bad, although they are not as powerful as Han Meng, but in terms of martial arts, everyone is not inferior to the most courageous Cheng Qi of the army, and nine spears and nine horses rushed through nine broad roads. I am afraid that there are only five people who can be compared with the army, including Cheng Qi, Yu Hua, Chu Hu, Zhen Ge and Hao Zhao, who has just arrived.
After He Bai saw the martial arts of the Han family's disciples, he nodded secretly, it seems that there are a large number of powerful generals under his command, and when it comes to raiding and fighting, it is really good. He Bai had a misunderstanding of fierce generals before, and in later generations, he often saw fierce generals with 10,000 enemies, and at first he thought that this was a personal martial art that could really kill 10,000 people.
However, when the enemy army is good at forming an array, because the army can quickly form a formation, there are few scattered battles, so the effectiveness of the generals is not obvious. It was not until the recent time that the army was unified for a long time, and through a large number of comparisons of ancient and modern tactics, it was realized that there was an understanding. Ancient warfare was very slow, except for encounters and ambush raids, from sending troops to arranging formations and then starting battles, it was a long time calculated in hours.
Moreover, once the ancient army, which was already slow to form a formation, formed a formation, it could not move at all without an order. If the fierce general wants to break through the formation, it is not too difficult, just borrow the power of horses, through the gap between the formations and conflicts, as long as the opponent is not blocked by the mobile fierce general, the soldiers do not pay attention, basically invincible.
As long as the fierce general is not surrounded by the enemy's small formation in the enemy formation, and wantonly slaughters the enemy's heralds, or shoots the commanding officer in the small formation, completely disrupts the enemy's command system, and helps the army's army defeat the enemy army at a very small cost, this is the main role of the fierce general.
To a certain extent, the meaning of a fierce general is also the meaning of an assassin in the open. Knowing that he is here to assassinate you, but still succeeding, this is a fierce general. Those who can be unscrupulous among the 10,000 armies are the so-called 10,000 enemies, not that they are really capable of 10,000 enemies.
The legendary military generals are single-handed, which is just a test of the combat power of the two armies before the war, and it can also be said to be the consumption of the enemy's fierce generals. If you kill a large number of enemy generals before the battle, you can prevent your army's command system from being hit. If the army fails alone, it may be attacked by the enemy's fierce generals, and thus there is a possibility of defeat.
It is said that the fierce general is important, but it is not as important as it is said in later books. It is not important to say that the fierce general, but no matter who it is, it cannot ignore its importance to the battle of the great army. But it is really as said in later books, every battle is decided by the main general's martial arts, bravery, and heads-up, which is definitely a joke.
It is necessary to know that every war in ancient times was composed of fighting each other in small formations, and then through the continuous deployment of troops by the main generals to attack, defend or support, attack the enemy's disadvantages with their own advantages, and constantly accumulate small victories into big victories. Breaking through one of the enemy's wings, forming an encirclement of the enemy, and finally breaking the enemy's army, this is the final victory.
It is taboo to give up the command of the whole army as the main general and personally lead the elite soldiers to charge into battle, let alone go out to fight alone. Therefore, since He Bai broke away from Gongsun Zhan's army, there have been almost no cases of rushing into battle and heads-up, and there is no experience in bloody battles, so it has always been difficult for martial arts to grow.
After the Qihu rioters were rushed by the Han clan's disciples for a while, their morale was already greatly weakened, and then they were pushed sideways by Cheng Qi and other formations like bulldozers, and they suddenly completely collapsed, and they scattered in all directions, shocking the entire dead camp to boil.
He Bai was afraid that the whole battalion of the Qianhu people would disperse in a hurry, so he hurriedly stopped the people who were still about to charge, and ordered Chengqi and others to temporarily retreat back to the unified army and obey the order. He also ordered several horses to gallop in the camp and shouted, "Today's chaos, the followers are not to blame, only the first person is punished." Someone is the first, the reward is 100,000 yuan, the whole family is free, and he is allowed to go. ”
The shouts of the heralds gradually calmed down the chaos in the camp, and before the riot was completed, everyone in the Qiang Hu was frightened, for fear that He Bai would order a massacre. At this time, as soon as the herald called, everyone suddenly had a sense of luck, and then thought that the Taiyuan Lieutenant would pay and make efforts to buy the Hu people as slaves, and he would not have slaughtered them on a large scale, otherwise it would not be a waste of money.
Thinking of this, my frightened heart gradually calmed down. Thinking of the man who had stirred up the rebellion in the hearts of the people, they were immediately furious. Although I don't believe in the guarantee of sufficient food and clothing of the Taiyuan Governor, even if he is a slave, he has no worries about his life. Even if you are bitter and tired, where is it not bitter, and where is it not tired?
However, that man provoked everyone's fear and wanted to kidnap the Taiyuan Lieutenant and escape from the camp. But what if you don't want to fail? Fortunately, there was no major disaster before, if he accidentally injured the Taiyuan Governor, the subordinates of the Taiyuan Commander would be angry and bloody the whole battalion, wouldn't it be bad for the old and young people to be slaughtered?
Thinking of this, the people of the Qianghu immediately angrily corrected the man with the head, tied him to death, and hoped that the main tent of the camp would come.
