Chapter 556: Qiang's minions, plotting against Longyou!
It's night!
The night is dark and the wind is high.
Over Yongxian.
Lead clouds hung low, and rain fell from the sky without stopping.
In the autumn rainy season, it is rare to see a dripping rain.
The rain drenched the roads, and although it was not muddy, rainy days were always the most hated weather for the expeditionary sergeants.
That is, when the autumn rain was dripping, quietly, the gates of Yongxian County were opened.
Fei Yao was dressed in iron armor, his eyes were firm, he stood on the city tower and looked into the distance, and in the darkness he could only vaguely see the mountains and wasteland in the rain.
and the Han military camp with a faint glow of fire in the distance.
The gates of the city were like a dark beast opening its huge mouth, devouring the endless rainy night outside. The 4,000 Wei state soldiers were already ready to go, they were dressed in robes, armed with weapons and shields, and their faces were full of determination.
With Fei Yao's order, the soldiers broke through to the north like a tiger out of a cage.
"Breakout!"
"Breakout!"
The sound of horses' hooves, the clash of ironclad armor, and the shouts of soldiers mingled to break the silence of the autumn night.
The breakthrough team rushed through the rain, muddy water splashed, but it could not stop them.
In the darkness of the night, only groups of men and horses could be seen quickly crossing the wilderness and rushing in the direction of the northern breakthrough.
The rain on the autumn night still kept falling, but the Wei soldiers who broke through the siege had only one belief in their hearts: break through the encirclement, go home, and live!
The sound of the Wei army breaking through was very loud, and the Han army in the surrounding fortress immediately volleyed up, but in half an hour, Fei Yao had not yet broken out of the Han army's encirclement, and he had been surrounded.
Resisting horse antlers, trapping ropes, preparing for nearly a month, how can you let the prey escape?
However, just when the Han army was about to relax, behind them, in the direction of Yongxian, there was another earth-shattering sound.
I saw an elite rush out of the south gate of Yongxian County, and chiseled up towards the encirclement of the Han army in the south.
"Rush! Kill! ”
The warriors who were trapped in the camp took the lead, armed with spears and large shields, and their faces were as fearless as arrows, opening the way for the next elite troops.
Cao Zhen's team suddenly appeared on the southern defense line of the Han army, and the Han army was obviously a little caught off guard.
"Trap, break the enemy, break through!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The warriors trapped in the camp let out an earth-shattering cry, the spears in their hands were like forests, and their shields were like walls, and they were like an unstoppable arrow, directly attacking the position of the Han army.
Cao Zhen and the 3,000 elites led by Guo Huai followed, and they brandished their weapons and shields in their hands and engaged in a fierce confrontation with the Han army.
"If you don't want to be a slave of the Han Kingdom, you can kill with me, pass this level, return to Luoyang, eat fragrant and drink spicy food!"
Cao Zhen tore his throat and yelled, holding a spear, he was already picking three Han soldiers in a row.
Bell bell bell ~
Soldiers clashed, sparks splashed everywhere, and every collision of weapons made a deafening sound of metal.
Blood splattered and cries abounded.
The liquid splashed on the body, I don't know if it's blood or rain.
But both sides are already red-eyed.
As the main force of the Han army in the north was pinned down by Fei Yao's breakthrough operation, the defense line in the south was relatively weak.
Coupled with the brave opening of the trapped camp and the rapid impact of the three thousand elites, the defense line of the Han army was quickly torn open.
The team led by Cao Zhen and Guo Huai was like a tiger out of the cage, quickly breaking through along this opening.
"Humph! Want to escape? ”
More than 1,000 Qiang cavalry under Ma Dai's command were just ready, and he received the news that the Wei army in the south was about to break through, how could he tolerate this.
If Cao Zhen escaped under his nose, the credit he got would have flown away.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how did the Wei people oppress you before, but now the opportunity for revenge has come, and the opportunity to be a master has also come, don't say that I won't give you a chance, now that the opportunity has come, I will see that you are useless!"
These more than 1,000 cavalry were all Qiangdi people who came over when Ma Chao was still alive.
Ma Chao came, and he was able to attract them to come to serve at once, on the one hand, it was indeed because Ma Chao had prestige, but on the other hand, it was also because they had a hard time in Wei.
If they were under the rule of Wei, how could they risk being killed and come to Ma Chao?
To put it bluntly, they are not Han people, but Qiang, alien people, and they are naturally despised and oppressed by the Han people.
Life is difficult, and that's why it's like this.
Now that there is a chance for revenge and a chance to make meritorious contributions, these people immediately screamed and pursued Cao Zhen's troops who had fled.
Cao Zhen, who was breaking through, had a feeling that the sky was high and the birds were flying, and the water was deep by the fish, and suddenly heard the movement behind him, and the whole person suddenly got up.
The Han army fortress is vertical and horizontal, and there are countless deer antlers that reject horses.
The war horses he brought out from Yongxian County have long been unusable, and now they are sitting on the horses of the Han army that were robbed by the guards.
But there is only one horse, and the Han cavalry behind him is not just one horse.
Maybe one person and three horses, if he pursues like this, when the horses under him are out of horsepower, there will be only one way to die.
Cao Zhen looked at Guo Huai, who was running to the side, and shouted: "Send someone to stop the Han army's pursuers and buy me time to retreat!" ”
Now that this situation is going to be blocked, what is the difference between that and sending it to death?
Guo Huai was speechless, he didn't hear it, and the whole person lay on his horse and rushed towards the south.
Husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, and they flew separately when disaster came.
At this time of life and death, what general of the army is more important than his own life?
Cao Zhen had to say to the guards beside him: "Dismount and go to stop the enemy!" ”
The guards naturally knew the fate of dismounting at this time and turning around to block the attack, but after all, he was Cao Zhen's personal guard, Cao Zhen was as kind to him as a mountain, and as soon as the order came at this moment, even though he knew that the front was a dead end, he had to jump off the horse, offer the war horse, and turn around to meet the enemy.
"Zhu San, when I return to Luoyang, your wife and children will definitely give them wealth!"
Hearing this, the guard Zhu San pulled out the ring head knife on his waist, stood in place, and said without looking back: "The villain's wife and children rely on the general to take care of them!" ”
As he spoke, he roared angrily and charged in reverse, like a moth, towards the blazing fire of the Han army.
Without even a spark, he was swept to the ground by the pursuing Han army, and within a moment, he was trampled into a pulp by thousands of war horses, not even human.
There was no time to be sentimental, Cao Zhen took the two reins and galloped towards the south.
One more war horse, one more life.
He, Cao Zidan, must not die here!
Longxian is the west gate of Shaanxi, named because it is located in the eastern part of Longshan Mountain.
Qin Xianggong built the capital here, opening up the territory; Qin Shi Huang toured the west and regarded this place as the west gate of Qin; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended to the head of Long, set up a big earthquake pass here, known as the "Qin capital Han Pass".
Since the Han and Tang dynasties, Longxian has become an important post station on the Silk Road, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions, and Tang Xuanzang Tianzhu learned scriptures, all passing through here, and the importance of the location is self-evident.
Now.
Outside Longxian County, the honor guard of the emperor of the Han State was opened, and the forbidden army plus the people, plus the entourage and internal officials who served the emperor, there were as many as 10,000 people, and the scene could be called grand.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Chan did not choose to enter the city.
Although Longxian is an ancient city, it is definitely not big, if he goes in, won't he want the people in the city to make room?
If it is a last resort in wartime, it will be forgotten, and now that the time of war is not yet reached, if you can not disturb the people, you do not need to disturb the people.
Besides, there is always a slight risk in entering the city, and there is no danger in building a camp outside.
If you don't have to take risks, you don't have to.
"In Longxi, is there a leader of Qiang Di who can be said to be the number?"
Liu Chan looked at Xin Xiu, who was fidgeting in the dragon tent, and asked expressionlessly.
Xin Xiu's attention at the moment was not on Liu Chan at all, but on Xin Xianying behind Liu Chan.
Boy!
Since His Majesty last saw his niece, it has been more than ten days, and it is the first time he has seen Xin Xianying.
Your Majesty has always been the title of a hungry ghost in the sex, and her niece is more beautiful than Xi Shi, more beautiful than Diao Chan, at this moment, I am afraid that she has been poisoned by His Majesty?
But seeing her niece standing and walking, there was nothing unusual, Xin Xiu had mixed feelings in her heart at the moment.
I am afraid that my niece will be humiliated, and I hope that my niece will be accepted by His Majesty and help the Xin clan in the inner court.
Complicated emotions filled his mind, so much so that Xin Xiu didn't hear what Liu Chan was saying clearly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty"
Liu Chan looked at this old Deng, chuckled at the corner of his mouth, and then asked: "In Longxi, is there a leader of Qiang Di who can be said to be good?" ”
Xin Xiu immediately said: "In Wudu County, Yang Wan, the leader of the Baima Di people, has a large number of thousands of people, and it has become the climate. Outside Longxian, there is Afu, the leader of the Xingguo Di clan, and there are 3,000 people. ”
"The farther ones are gone?"
"Far away, there is Lu Shuihu, there are three branches of the climate, the Jingwei River Basin Anding Lu Shuihu, the Hexi Corridor Linsong Lu Shuihu, and the Hehuang Valley Huangzhong Lu Shuihu. Your Majesty must have received the news of the rebellion of Linsong and Lushuihu in the Hexi Corridor, and the prostitutes and concubines of Lushuihuyijian and Zhiyuan in the three counties of Liyi, Fanhe, and Xianmei rebelled, and Hexi was greatly disturbed. There were tens of thousands of rebel troops, and the rebellion has not been stopped. ”
"Is there a leader in the Jingwei River Basin?"
Xin Xiu glanced at Liu Chan, hesitated, and didn't speak.
Liu Chan was a little annoyed.
"Are you a? How can you not say a complete word? ”
Xin Xiu said with some embarrassment: "Longxi Peng's is from Anding Lu Shuihu. ”
Forehead~
At this moment, it was Liu Chan's turn to be embarrassed.
"In other words, the Longxi Peng clan can control and stabilize Lu Shuihu?"
Xin Xiu nodded and shook his head again.
"It is impossible to control it completely, but it is still possible to collect some live livestock and furs from Anding Lu Shuihu, and to requisition soldiers in wartime."
I'm afraid this is the reason why the Peng family in Longxi made a fortune.
His surname is Peng, and Liu Chan thought it was a Han surname, but he didn't want to be a Sinicized Lu Shuihu.
Peng's depth and Wei Guomian were the first targets of Liu Chan's attack.
As a result, it is impossible to count on Lu Shuihu to settle down.
"Then what kind of leader does Lu Shuihu have in Huangzhong?"
Xin Xiu immediately said: "Huangzhong Lu Shuihu was requisitioned by Duan Cheng, and finally requisitioned as a military slave, there are very few people left who can recruit habitual wars, and there are tens of thousands of people left, divided into thirteen departments, there is no big leader, they are all small leaders, each belongs to the Shi clan, and is the pawn of the Longxi Shi clan. ”
In other words, Lu Shuihu in Huangzhong was enslaved and controlled by the Longxi Shi clan and did dirty work.
This is something that can be fought for.
"In this way, you Longxi Xin clan, I'm afraid that there is also a Qiang army under your hands that can fight well, but?"
Xin Xiu didn't deny it, nor did he admit it, but just said lightly: "There are indeed clans that can be commanded, but they are also tempted by money, and there is no subordination, and they rely more on their own family's subordinates." ”
There are many Qiang and Hu people in Longxi, which has also created a family here that is definitely not as literary as the Central Plains family, but full of martial virtues.
Raising the Ministry of Zhuangwei, the matter of privately making armor, I am afraid that every family has it.
If he wanted to conquer, he would use his own tribe as the foundation, and then use money to recruit a few Qiang and Hu tribesmen who were good with his own family, and thought they were servants.
"Of the thousands of people under your command, how many people are in your own family?"
Now that the Longxi Xin clan has fully fallen to the Han Kingdom, Xin Xiu has nothing to hide, so he has to say: "A thousand parts." ”
Of the 5,000 people, 1,000 were members of their own family, and 4,000 were servants of different races.
Tsk tsk.
It seems that if you explode troops from Longxi, it will not be a problem to recruit tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers and Hu soldiers!
It's a huge source of soldiers.
If Longxi is better, using these Hu soldiers and Qiang soldiers can help him pass through the Western Regions.
Liu Chan's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"First summon Afu, the leader of the Xingguo Di clan in Longxian County, and Yang Qian, the leader of the Baima Di clan in Wudu, as for Lu Shuihu in Huangzhong, the intelligence, and ask Xin Gong to introduce it in detail for me, so that I can make a decision from it."
Liu Chan did not do much detail in the military division in Longxi, and the information he obtained was limited.
Some key information still has to be obtained by relying on a local snake like Xin Xiu.
"You don't need an uncle, Xianying knows the news of the thirteen divisions of Lu Shuihu in Huangzhong."
Xin Xiu watched Xin Xianying speak, immediately coughed, and slowly got up.
His nieces have already entered the tiger's mouth, and he, as an uncle, still has to do some cooperation.
"His Majesty suddenly felt unwell, and the news of the thirteen divisions of Lu Shuihu in Huangzhong was informed by Xianying that His Majesty was old and healthy, and asked His Majesty to allow His Majesty to leave."
Liu Chan stared at Xin Xiu deeply for a while, then turned his head to look at Xin Xianying with deep meaning, but looked at the latter blushing and bowing his head.
Hey.
Scheming with me, an old driver?
Even if you're a talented woman, you're still a little tender.
"It's too hard work, and I'm on it."
You are an old man, you are speechless, if you can achieve the same effect, Liu Chan is naturally willing to listen to the beauty teach the key news.
After Xin Xiu left, Liu Chan also collapsed on the dragon chair, not caring about his image at all.
"I am not in a hurry to know the news of the thirteen departments of Lu Shuihu in Huangzhong, but there is a rumor, I want to hear the truth. I heard that the Nalu Shui Hu Neiyue clan has women who are inferior to men, and the people who fight on the battlefield are all women, and these women are all as beautiful as flowers. Is that the case?"
Xin Xianying was stunned.
A resentment suddenly appeared in my heart.
I, a beautiful woman with a beautiful country, didn't see you do anything to me in front of you, but I wanted those Hu women to go.
Am I not as good as those Hu women?
"Your Majesty, the Yue Clan is called the Xiaoyue Clan, and it is the same clan as the Great Yue Clan in the Western Regions. But the matter of male superiority and inferiority of women is a rumor and pure nonsense, but there are indeed female guards under the command of the leader of the Xiaoyue clan. It's just that there is no way to verify what the appearance is. ”
It seems that the rumors are not entirely true.
In this era, a matriarchal society has long passed, and it is impossible to think about the inferiority of women to men.
"That's it. Let's talk about the thirteen departments of Lu Shuihu in Huangzhong. ”
I thought that there was a queen of the Yue clan in the Xiaoyue clan, but now there is no queen, so let's get down to business first!
PS:
In the past two days, there has been an abel in the room who passed away, helping to work, I can't code the word during the day, please forgive me for a little delay, I have seen a few days if I can update earlier, but I think that this week is only one day off, or some Bengbu live o(╥_╥)o.
