Chapter 147: I'm Still Loyal to Sikong

The torrential rain poured down and began to wash away the blood stains in Chang'an City.

The night's slaughter is over.

More than 15,000 soldiers of the forbidden army, 20,000 people, and thousands of Shao Xun's private soldiers advanced along the gates, firing crossbows from afar, shooting arrows at closer, and then the heavy infantry in front, followed by the light armored warriors, cooperating with each other, encroaching step by step, and searching and killing every place that might hide the enemy.

After dawn, the battle was basically over. Only occasionally there were scattered screams, which were Xianbei people hiding in private houses being pulled out by the people of Chang'an and dismembering their bodies indiscriminately.

Shao Xun left the city in the early morning and met the governor Mi Huang.

Mi Huang didn't want to pay attention to him and didn't give a good face.

After a night of fighting in the city, he could hear the sound of the crossbow firing outside the city.

Dense sergeants blocked the gates, and a few rangers were prepared outside the city to make sure that no one could escape.

Is this a small punishment and a big commandment? He's not stupid, how can he not see it?

Shao Xun didn't care, only took Mi Huang's hand, and said ashamedly: "The Xianbei thieves resisted fiercely, and the soldiers couldn't hold back their hands, so they played out their temperament, slashed and killed all the way, and finally slaughtered all the thieves." When the servant found out, it was already too late, and in the end he only picked up the head of Master Qi. ”

With that, he unwrapped the cloth bag, took out a bloody object from it, and placed it on the table.

Mi Huang felt that it was an eyesore, and directly swept his head to the ground.

"Do you know that after this battle......" Mi Huang looked into Shao Xun's eyes and said.

"After this battle, Sikong has no choice." Shao Xun said unabashedly.

"You!" Mi Huang's eyes widened.

"Duan Xianbei is surrounded by strong enemies, and they may not be able to come to me for revenge." Shao Xun said calmly: "And without the Xianbei cavalry, what is Wang Jun afraid of? He was far away in Youzhou, and he was afraid that he would have to find a way to wipe Duan Bu Xianbei's ass and help them resist the hostile tribes on the grassland. ”

"You...... To be opposed? Mi Huang hurriedly said: "Xiao Langjun, I didn't say you. You are from the Yuefu family, even if you leave the house, you can't be anti-commonplace. ”

"Why did the Governor say that?" Shao Xun said with a smile: "Sikong Jian pulled me out of the ranks, how can I carry it?" This slaughter of Xianbei is really because they have gone too far. Chang'an Famous City, more than 10,000 people were killed by Xianbei, how is this kind of beast soldier different from Zhang Fang? What's wrong with slaughtering? ”

"Don't worry, I told the sergeant last night that this is an order from the Air Force, and there will be rewards for sending troops to fight chaos."

"Today, it will also be announced to the whole city, Sikong has always loved the people, how can he sit back and watch Xianbei slaughter the city? Don't worry, these days are looking for a good day and auspicious time to summon the souls of the people who are in distress. When the people heard this, who would blame Sikong? ”

Mi Huang was silent for a while, and sighed: "It's really your ghost!" You are so bold, you are afraid of making trouble afterwards? ”

Shao Xun bowed and said, "Please also ask the governor to help you turn around." ”

The posture is very sufficient, but the vigor rises into the sky, making Mi Huang dizzy for a while.

"You tell me the truth, how many families do you have?" He lowered his voice and asked.

"Three thousand silver spears, two thousand swordsmen, and five hundred cavalry, for a total of five thousand five hundred horsemen. In addition, there are 15,000 iron armor collars and tens of thousands of armor equipment. Shao Xun said.

Mi Huang was shocked.

With this strength, Sikong is afraid that he really can't move him.

The left and right guards of the forbidden army and the cavalry army are not so reliable for Sikong. There is an inextricable connection between them and Shao Xun, during the Xuchang Arsenal case, Shao Xun only took armor, and Qian Silk rewarded the soldiers of the left guard and the Xiao cavalry.

In the battle of Chang'an, 5,000 Xianbei cavalry were killed, so what to do with the goods looted by the Xianbei people?

With Shao Xun's temperament, it is estimated that it is still separated.

The left guard takes the lion's head, and the right guard and the Xiao cavalry who have not yet arrived may be able to share some benefits.

He is so capable of fighting, he is still famous, he has been operating in the Kingdom Army and the Forbidden Army for four or five years, does Sikong dare to use the Forbidden Army against him?

Yes, at least half of the generals of the forbidden army are still loyal to Sikong.

But being loyal to Sikong does not necessarily mean that they are willing to kill Shao Xun, although they may be reluctant to dispatch if they give a forced order, but it is difficult to say how effective it will be.

Similarly, if Shao Xun intends to be unfavorable to Sikong, the generals of the forbidden army will also oppose it.

This is the reality of the forbidden army, at least the reality of more than 16,000 people on the left guard.

Mi Huang frowned and thought about it, if Shao Xun didn't consider his reputation and consequences, he would now take refuge in the Son of Heaven and the Queen, and get involved with Zhou Fu and others, Sikong was afraid that he wouldn't even dare to enter Luoyang.

For a while, I really can't move him.

This Xiao Langjun, unconsciously, is already somewhat similar to Zhang Fang back then.

Sima Hao threw a mouse into a trap, did not dare to use the army to conquer Zhang Fang, and was afraid that the soldiers and horses dispatched would defect, so he could only use assassination to kill the thief.

Alas, Zhang Fang of the East China Sea Country has become a climate.

Mi Huang was in a complicated mood, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you." Shao Xun said: "I am still Sikong's general, and I am still willing to fight for Sikong, and I have no two hearts." ”

After speaking, I silently added in my heart: I just don't want to fall into the situation of rabbits and dead dogs.

In fact, since the beginning of this year, Sima Yue has not been very easy to kill him.

Shao Xun didn't know if Sima Yueqi had ever had this idea.

Regardless of whether there was a turmoil in Hebei at that time, the soldiers and horses of King Fanyang and the Duke of Pingchang were trapped in it, and Sima Teng, the assassin of Bingzhou, was even more unable to draw troops, Sima Luo of Qingzhou was defeated by the religious rebel army, and Sima Yue's 30,000 army was wasted again, and it was indeed difficult for him to mobilize foreign troops to deal with him.

After Sima Yue returned from Xuchang, he was directly stationed in Wen County, which may have this factor.

When you enter Luoyang, you have to enter the palace, right? What if someone takes a risk and takes advantage of his position as a general in the palace to kill him in the palace? A person like him, who is good at intrigue and trickery, likes to treat others as his own the most.

At that time, he decided to let go and use Shao Xun to attack Sima Hao and squeeze out the last value, perhaps his true thoughts.

No one is going to sit still.

This time, Shao Xun suffocated all the Xianbei cavalry to death in Chang'an City, I don't know what Sima Yue thinks? Another strong army is gone.

To be fair, if he wants to deal with Shao Xun, the five thousand Xianbei cavalry are definitely Wang Zhan, which can play a great role.

Now that it's gone, Shao Xun can't think of what Sima Yue should do to him.

Lao Tzu was going to use Chang'an's grain, money, horses, and Xuchang's armor to expand his army.

You don't dare to touch me now, and you won't dare to touch me next year......

People who are full of anti-bones are so arrogant.

"How did you get to this point?" Mi Huang looked at Shao Xun with slightly reproachful eyes, and sighed: "Sikong is filial piety for you, but I'm not sorry for you." ”

Shao Xun was silent, and after a while, he said, "Yes." ”

Sima Yue really didn't feel sorry for him.

Some of his restrictions are also common checks and balances used by those in higher positions.

The crux of the matter is that after the Battle of Dangyin, Sima Yue was absent for a full year and seven months, and a huge power vacuum was created in Luoyang.

Not to mention that Shao Xun seized the opportunity, even the royalist gang was getting fuller, and Wang Yan was even more profitable.

When Sima Yue reappeared, he was faced with a strange Luoyang.

If there was no Xuchang arsenal case, Shao Xun and Sima Yue might still be able to maintain considerable trust between them, but Shao Xun took the initiative to give up this trust because he wanted to get the armor.

This time to kill Xianbei, on the one hand, it is Xianbei slaughtering the city, forget it if you don't see it, he really can't bear it if he knows.

Secondly, the benefits are also real.

Before coming to see Mi Huang, Chen Yougen came to report that he had gathered more than 8,000 horses outside the city last night and this morning.

A rough count was also made in the city, and there were still about 3,000 horses intact.

How much is a horse worth? It depends on what type of horse.

Pulling horses is the cheapest, pack horses are slightly more expensive, riding horses are more expensive, and war horses are extremely expensive.

These horses of the Xianbei people are also horses that are replaced by horses, and the war horses account for about half.

During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, someone sold horses for 150,000 yuan, made an illegal profit of 500 yuan, and was dismissed.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the price of a horse was 200,000 yuan.

During the reign of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, the price of stagecoaches plummeted to 7,000 yuan.

The Eastern Han Dynasty horse aid once gave Du Lin a horse, and he was repaid 50,000 yuan.

During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he recruited horses from the Hao clan. The family deliberately scolded him, and a horse was charged for 2 million yuan - this is not an abnormal price.

During the Three Kingdoms, ordinary horses cost about 10,000 yuan, and the price of war horses soared to 100,000 yuan.

After the return of the Three Kingdoms, after a period of rare peace, the price of horses began to fall.

But after so many years of the Eight Kings Rebellion, the price of horses has soared year by year like a rocket, and now the price of a military horse with pure blood, fast speed and strong endurance has exceeded 50,000 yuan.

Of course, the steppe does not pay much attention to the breeding of horse bloodlines, but allows them to mate freely, and the appearance of the horses is very average.

Not many of these Xianbei horses can be sold for 50,000 yuan, but none of them are less than 10,000 yuan.

Tens of thousands of horses are more than 100,000 yuan, and no one can bear it.

Of course, it would be foolish to sell these horses for a price, and Shao Xun would never do that.

The best pastures in Henan are in Guangchengze, if you don't ride them to fight, then you don't need to feed food, just graze in the wild.

Almost all of the horses seized were stallions, and most of them were castrated - the ones that were not castrated were relatively short-tempered and liked to kick and even chase mares.

There are only a few hundred horses, I don't know if the owner likes to ride a fierce horse or what, there is no castration.

More than 200 horses were sent to Guangchengze, and some mares were found to breed slowly.

Of course, it is not easy to raise mares, so you can find a lot of donkeys to come over and serve these stallions as a "harem".

Isn't it nice to be a mule army? Lao Tzu is not afraid of being laughed at.

Heavy infantry mounted mules and maneuvered quickly on the battlefield, no faster than two legs?

"You go down first. I'll have to think about it here. Mi Huang waved his hand and sighed.

"Governor, don't let Sikong's prestige be damaged." Shao Xun said sincerely.

"Get out, get cheap and sell well." Mi Huang scolded.

Shao Xun lowered his head, saluted and left the big tent.

Mi Huang knelt down silently and sat down silently for a long time.

Some things, once they cross the line, will gradually become strangers, alas!

He still wanted to rescue and try to repair Shao Xun's relationship with Sikong. The nature of a good old man is deeply ingrained.
