Chapter 550: Strange Village
No matter when! Grain and grass are heavy, and they will always be the lifeblood of the army.
It's like the Yan army, Bai occupied the city, but... The grain, grass, weight, weapons, etc. hoarded in the city were all burned quickly, even if Gongsun Yan occupied Xiongcheng again, it would not be of much use.
Therefore, Gongsun Yan chose to retreat.
But Xiongcheng was defeated! Not to mention the loss of the Yan State, the grain and grass have been destroyed, which has shaken the national strength.
If there is no foreign aid, the entire Yan Kingdom can only be reduced to fish and meat on the board, waiting for Dongfang Yu to slaughter it casually.
Wei Qing touched the beard on his chin, "You're right, brave the snow to go north, 200,000 troops!" will be trapped by the enemy. ”
"Moreover, the grassland is the territory of the Liao people, and no one knows more about the terrain than the Liao people! You can't go deep into the hinterland, but you can also teach the Liao people a lesson. ”
Oh...
Meng Tian was stunned for a moment and looked at Wei Qing, "Is there any good way for General Wei?" ”
"Some thoughts!" Wei Qing said, and came to the sand table, "See! Although we have been to the grassland once, but that time, the Wuhuan clan led the way, and it was the victory of a large-scale war. ”
"But this time, we're on our own. The agreement of the Liao people was signed with the previous dynasty, and he rashly sent troops to attack Qin, which could not be regarded as him tearing up the covenant, but he could only say... This group of Liao people is itchy again! ”
"I, Qin Guo, am in the world, but I can't suffer a loss and not return it! This place is the garrison of the 50,000 troops stationed by the Liao general Huernu, and the general's proposal is that the general and Meng Tian personally lead 50,000 cavalry, bring enough dry food, go deep into a hundred miles, and eat this group of Liao troops, which can be regarded as a lesson to the enemy. ”
Meng Tian agreed: "General Wei's proposal is good, the grassland is upright and bloodstained, and it is not easy to go on a long-distance expedition.
The compressed biscuits, instant noodles, dried meat, etc., invented by the Qin State, played a big role at this time.
Immediately after the adjournment of the meeting, the barracks were prepared.
In the early morning of the next day, Wei Qing and Meng Tian led an army of 50,000 to brave the cold wind and snow, and marched north.
After retreating 80 kilometers, Huernu, who thought he was at ease, did not know that danger had come. Even, still eating mutton.
It was snowing heavily outside the big tent of the Liao army, the bonfire in the tent was rising, the warm temperature made the whole big tent incomparably warm, and it was full of singing and dancing, like a small waist like a snake, and the dancing woman was full of charm, quite like a seductive goblin.
Hahaha!
There was a lot of laughter in the tent.
"Okay, good jump!"
"Generals, come and have a drink!" The corners of Hu'er's mouth were full of oil and water, and when he raised the big bowl, he took a sip.
"Follow General Huer, you can eat fragrant, drink spicy, and be happy!"
"No, since the Qin army occupied a large area of territory in my northern grassland, more than a dozen outer cities have been built on the border. As long as you see our Liao people going south, you will kill people directly. ”
"The life of our Liao people is getting more and more difficult."
……
The generals in the tent were full of sorrow.
After all, the Liao people live in the grassland and don't have much arable land, so they can only graze their own animals, so! Grain production is not much.
A few years ago, they could still go south to plunder, beat grass valleys, and in winter, they could still have a year of food and clothing.
Now that the Qin State has risen, the life of the Liao people is becoming more and more difficult.
"Humph!"
"Don't worry! When the country is stable and our Liao State rises again, we must seek revenge on the Qin State. Hu'er snorted angrily.
"General, you say... This time, let's take the initiative to provoke the Qin State, and the Qin State will retaliate against us! I heard that Wei Qing has arrived in Wusa City, so he won't do anything to us, right? "Some soldiers are starting to worry.
"Huh!"
Hu'er smiled disdainfully, "Don't worry! His Qin army is powerful, and he must know that this north is the world of our Liao people, and if he Qin army dares to come, there is only one way to die. ”
"Moreover, now that it is snowing so heavily, even if he Qin Jun wants to make a move against Liao, he will have to wait until the beginning of spring in March next year. In the past few months, we will drink and eat with our bellies open, and we will have a big victory next year. ”
"!"
As soon as Huernu said this, the general in the tent was immediately relieved.
It's just that it's snowing so heavily outside, he doesn't dare to come if he gives Wei Qing a hundred guts.
At this moment, Dongfang Yu in the camp of Xiongcheng.
With Yu Qian, Yuwen Hu, and Meng Geng, he led four first-class guards and went to Weifu for a private visit.
The snow is still falling outside, but it's much lighter than before.
"It's weirdly cold in the north."
"When I first went to Youzhou last year, there was also a snowfall, and it was said that Ruixue was a good year, but the result! But the poor people suffered, and a large number of them froze to death. ”
"It's much better this year, and almost all the people in Youzhou are living a good life, at least! Fewer people starved to death. Dongfang Yu couldn't help but sigh.
"It's all the credit of Your Majesty, sympathetic to all the people, and I believe that all the people will also be grateful to Dade." Yu Qian said.
"Your Majesty, if there is smoke in the house, there must be a village, we have been out for so long, we can just go to the village to have a look."
"Good!" Dongfang Yu responded.
The war horses of several people sped up.
Soon they were outside the village.
Inside this village, faintly, there are a few wisps of cooking smoke, but! From the outside, it is very bleak and difficult to see.
"Dismount, don't disturb the villagers."
Dongfang Yu said.
Then, he tied his horse to the outside of the village and strode towards the village.
The snow slid into the boots, and the cool sourness made Dongfang Yu's teeth can't help but fight up and down.
Went in and walked a few houses.
However, these people's homes are closed with their gates, but the snow on the edge of the village is not deep, and it should have been cleared.
"Childe, a little girl!"
In front of them, a little girl, only seven or eight years old, was playing in the snow.
"Check it out!"
Dongfang Yu walked up to the little girl.
This little girl, surprisingly strange, is not afraid of them.
"Little girl, you're alone outside the house!" Dongfang Yu said softly.
"Hmm!"
The little girl just nodded.
"Where's your home? Can you take it back and see it? ”
"Hmm!"
The little girl continued to nod.
Then the little girl turned and walked forward.
Dongfang Yu was about to follow, but was stopped by Yu Qian's hand, "Childe, something is not right!" This village, how weird. ”
"It stands to reason that even in winter, there can't be no adults outside this house."
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
Dongfang Yu didn't understand this sentence, "Okay, don't make a fuss, otherwise!" You think the people living here are all bandits! ”
"You Yu Qian! It's just too cautious! ”
Ignoring Yu Qian, Dongfang Yu followed directly, and the little girl walked to a relatively dilapidated room, and from inside, a very beautiful girl in her twenties walked out.
"Xiaomei, where have you been?"
"It's so cold out there!"
