Chapter 161: Exchange of Interests (for Alliance Leader Xiaolong V)

"Quick! Fast! Fast! ”

"Don't stop!"

"Keep pursuing."

The vanguard led by Wang Qi'er had begun to rest in Wancheng, and Hou Feihu, the lord of the building, took his place, led three buildings of 1,800 soldiers and 2,000 auxiliary soldiers, pulled pack horses and chariots, and continued to attack in the direction of Nieyang and Suixian.

The essence is a quick word.

While the enemy is not reacting, scatter and capture as many of his forces as possible.

If there is no gathered strength, it is not called power, but trophies.

On the evening of the 16th, when we arrived in Niyang, more than 900 displaced people in Kansai surrendered.

On the 18th, to the county.

This county was once ravaged by Wang Ru, and it was also the first city he occupied, which was dilapidated and easily occupied by the army.

Almost on the same day, the Xinye Yu clan killed the thief generals in the city, and then joined up with Hou Feihu's department and pointed to Xiangyang.

In addition to this way, Jin Zheng set off a little later, leading nearly 10,000 people with three silver spear armies and Le's and Liu's troops to Shunyang in the west.

Yang Dan led the county soldiers to respond and jointly clean up the Guanxi rebels in the territory.

The Shunyang Fan clan deceived Hou Tuo's generals into the village, killed them at the banquet, annexed his subordinates, and responded to the Jin Zheng army.

Shao Xun, who arrived in Wancheng on the 18th, looked unchanged after reading the news, without the slightest surprise.

In today's era of the rapid demise of yeoman farmers and the increasing fortressing of the countryside, this situation is really normal.

This is also the main reason why the Western Jin Dynasty People's Army has reached the "third phase", but none of them have succeeded.

It is also strange that the exile army of this era had the troubles that the later centralized dynasties did not have in the last years, that is, the cities were easier to fight than the countryside.

But in the city, there may not be much food and materials. If they are not engaged in production, they still have to find a way to get critical supplies in the countryside.

This gave rise to the spectacle of bargaining between the local tyrants, the nobles and the exile army, and even the invasion of foreign enemies.

In the end, the most likely outcome between the two sides is peace and compromise.

Perhaps, that's not a bad thing.

The world is so chaotic that if the villagers cannot be organized, they can only be slaughtered.

Zhang Fang's army passed through Yiyang repeatedly, and the Du brothers of Yiquanwu effectively saved the people. If there is no Yiquanwu, it is difficult to imagine how many people are still in Yiyang.

Of course, the above is considered from the perspective of society as a whole. But Shao Xun's ass is no longer here, and the relationship between him and the family is very complicated, with both a combination of interests and conflicts.

However, for the time being, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages, and the two sides still have to cooperate.

"I haven't seen Hongxu for more than a year, how is the old lady?" When he saw Le Kai from afar, Shao Xun immediately dismounted, stepped forward, took his hand affectionately, and asked with a smile.

"It's tough." Lekai replied with a smile, and then introduced the people who came with him one by one.

There are more than ten people behind him, and at first glance they are the local "village sages" in Nanyang.

They were also observing Chen Hou's attitude towards Le Kai, and when they saw such a harmonious appearance, they immediately relieved their hearts.

Chen Hou is really a person who does great things, and he knows who to rely on to stabilize the locality.

I heard about Yangxia He's family before, and everyone was still a little worried.

The He family deserved to die, but they were also members of the Shi clan, and being killed like this inevitably made people wonder if Chen Hou had any opinion of the Shi clan.

Now it seems that the collapse of the He family should have been just an accident.

Chen Hou is killing chickens and monkeys, using the fate of the He family to warn those who oppose him. As long as you are kind to Chen Hou, there should be nothing wrong.

Thinking about it this way, the damn opinion of the He family prevailed again. What we have to worry about now is how to distribute Nanyang's interest pattern and whether we can take the opportunity to get some benefits.

"Nanyang Toshihiko, it's really extraordinary." Shao Xun greeted everyone one by one, carefully inquired about each other's family history, and occasionally praised a few words, which made the hearts of the Nanyang scholars and local tyrants happy.

Then they went into the city, and the people drank and drank each other, and they dispersed until night.

"Hongxu stays." After the person was almost gone, Shao Xun, who was still drunk, suddenly sobered up, pointed to the opposite side, and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

Le Kai knew that there was something important, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he sat down directly.

"The Huns have already arrived in Hanoi." Shao Xun's first sentence shocked Le Kai.

"I'm not panicking, why are you panicking?" Shao Xun laughed, poured another glass of wine for the two, and said, "The imperial court is in the clear field of the strong wall, but it is estimated that it will be difficult to do it." Within a few days, the Xiongnu could go straight to the city of Luoyang. ”

"How many ways are the Huns divided?" Le Kai steadied himself and asked.

"Hongxu has been a family for a few years, and it's really different." Shao Xun approvingly: "The soldiers are divided into two routes, one way south from Hanoi and all the way south from Hongnong. The former is a brigade, and the latter is a partial division, and the goal is directly aimed at Luoyang. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"It's similar to the strategy of the imperial court, it's just a clear wall." Shao Xun said: "On the Yiyang side, the loyal army guards the Huixiban and does not let the thief army enter the Luoshui River Valley." Yuzhou is more troublesome, fortunately, the grain and beans in the field have been harvested, and the people of the battalions can hide in the county seat and the dock fort to take shelter for a while. ”

In fact, just as he commented that the imperial court could not be completely strong, he could not do it.

It was only in May and June of this year that the first batch of refugees began to be collected, and people came one after another, and the cultivation time was not consistent. In order not to feed them in vain and consume food, Shao Xun asked the refugees to plant a large number of turnips so that they could be dug and eaten in winter.

Now the turnips have not yet grown, so it's a pity to dig them up.

He planned to take a look, and if the Xiongnu really entered Yuzhou, he would immediately organize the people to dig up turnips, whether they grew up or not, they would all be dug up - a few days would be enough.

The Huns had many cavalry, strong mobility, and held the initiative on the battlefield, so it was difficult to defeat them.

Shao Xun thought about it and felt that he could only rely on logistics to limit the scope of activity of the Hun cavalry.

In the winter, where do you go to find horse fodder?

If you can't raise food and grass on the spot, you will have to take a heavy army with you, then the cavalry will lose most of its mobility, and the threat will be sharply reduced.

It was the only way he could do it.

It happened that the social form at this time was completely different from that of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties.

At this time, there were many dock forts in the countryside, and the strength was relatively concentrated, and the difficulty of raising food and grass for the Hun cavalry increased greatly.

During the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, the society was relatively atomized, and the powerful forces were not on the same level as this, the countryside was scattered, there were very few Wubao manors, and most of them were undefended villages, so it was easy for the southbound steppe cavalry to get supplies and feed the war.

This is the only way to do it.

And the basis for the success of this move lies in the fact that the heroes of the warrior clan do not bow to the enemy and do not think about spending money to eliminate disasters, which is the most important and at the same time the most difficult.

People are selfish, when the enemy is angry, threatens to suffer huge casualties, and wants to demolish your dock fort, what will you do as a dock fort commander?

I can't really handle the pressure.

"If the king is in turmoil, the Huns are going south, it is really eventful, alas." Le Kai pretended to sigh sadly, and then asked tentatively, "Will the prince want a class teacher soon?" ”

"Not so fast." Shao Xun said: "You have to see if Wang Ru and Yan Wei are willing to fight with me in the field." If he is faint and dares to fight me in the wilderness, then he will be exterminated and then go north. If he can't hold on, he won't fight and go straight to the class. ”

"This ......" Le Kai was still a little happy, but when he heard it at this time, he was mixed.

Chen Hou was in a hurry to teach the class, not only to save Luoyang, but more likely to save the foundation he had established in Chen County.

Lucky understands that. If he changes places, he will also give priority to saving Chen Jun instead of Luoyang.

Chen Hou left in a hurry, and Nanyang's side increasingly needed a "wife family" like the Le family to stabilize, and this was his opportunity. But as soon as he heard that maybe even Wang Ru hadn't been killed, he had to rush to the class, and it was suddenly not a taste.

Those big families in Nanyang were basically instigated by him, and they took action against Hou Tuo and even Wang Ru's subordinates.

Some of the methods are very despicable, such as cheating, sneak attack, and so on.

As soon as Shao Xun leaves, what if Wang Ru comes to settle accounts with them? At this time, there is no need to talk with Wang Ru, people will no longer believe you, and the two sides are in an endless trend.

Le Kai only felt a little bitter in his mouth, and his good mood disappeared all of a sudden.

"Why do you have to act like that?" Shao Xun glanced at him and said with a smile: "Hou Tuo and Pang Shi were captured, I will take those people under him, there is no hidden danger in Nanyang." I will leave another army to guard Wancheng, as your backup, it should be no big problem. ”

Le Kai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "I don't know how much the prince left his troops?" ”

"The eleventh to fourteenth buildings of the Silver Spear Army, a total of 2,400 soldiers, have been ordered to go south, and they will arrive in Wancheng in a few days, rest assured." Shao Xun said.

Lekai was more relieved.

The fame of the Silver Spear Army is really big, at least in Luonan, people with a little knowledge know it.

Two thousand four hundred soldiers, there are really a lot, and if you use them well, you can play a great role.

Under Wang Ru and Yan Wei, there are only more than 30,000 homeless people.

Shao Xun chuckled to himself.

The latter four Silver Lance Army are mainly recruits, half of whom have been trained for more than two years, and the other half have been trained for more than a year.

The most important thing is that they have never fought and do not have much experience in battle formations.

Such a new pawn, if there are no veterans with them, Shao Xun is not worried about them fighting the enemy in the field, but it is suitable to defend the city.

Le Kai didn't know the mystery, thinking that he was a veteran who had been fighting for many years, which was a big mistake.

"In the suburbs of Wancheng and Duyang, I want to each place a Tuntian army, and I will find a way to raise some of the money and grain, farm tools, and cattle needed in the early stage, and if there is a shortcoming, I need Hongxu's help to think of a way." Shao Xun said again.

"It's easy to hear." Lekai assured.

"There is Hongxu, Nanyang is fixed." Shao Xun said happily: "In this way, I would like to express Hongxu as the internal history of Nanyang." The safety of the people of Nanyang is carried by Hongxu on his shoulders, and the heavy responsibility is on his shoulders, and he doesn't know ......"

"Where righteousness comes, how dare you resign?" Le Kai said angrily.

Shao Xun held his wine glass, and the two of them drank it all, and they both laughed.

The exchange of interests is done.

Shao Xun did not have the ability to rule Nanyang, and he did not even have enough people to manage the county seat, let alone the county township.

Instead of dispersing the forces, it is better to concentrate on the foundation of Luonan, Xiangcheng, and Chenjun.

Now that Nanton County has also begun to control deeply, it cannot disperse its forces.

On October 19, Shao Xun went south to Shuyang.

It was also on this day that the Xiongnu crossed the river from Fupingjin and appeared south of the river.

In the direction of Hongnong, the wall is too guarded to report, and there are Hun rangers moving around, which seems to have a plan.

Yu Chen, the shou of Ji County, wrote a letter mentioning that Shi Chao, the assassin of the puppet Ji Prefecture, Zhao Gu, the general of Anbei, and Wang Sang, the general of Pingbei, gathered troops to attack Ji County, and then went south to Yanzhou.

On the north and south lines, there will be no peace for a moment.
