Chapter 68: The Thief
Canopies, banners, and iron horsemen, in a mighty row, in front of the captured county official road. \\γο½ΠοΌγcο½M//
The first forty knights, the middle forty, and the last forty, were arranged in long formations, each holding a long shield and carrying a spear, which could be used for both sprinting and throwing.
Luo Shixin wore a new pair of armor, a red cloak, and rode a white horse, passing through the center, and as far as he could see on the streets along the way, the soldiers and civilians on both sides, tens of thousands of people, all bowed their heads and shouted: "Meet General Luo!"
The sound shook the whole city, and the glory was unparalleled for a while, which is a boast.
On top of a high-rise building, Li Chunfeng couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and said to Zhang Xuanning: "The lord is so generous, he is the general of the five grades, he gives a big banquet, he praises the generals, he gives the field house, and he is a courtesy, and Luo Shixin will be able to serve the lord loyally." β
Zhang Xuanning smiled, shook his head and said: "Brother Xian laughs at me, Luo Shixin is a first-rate master, and he has been in the army for a long time, he is a general, a fierce general, it is really what our army needs, and it is natural to have this courtesy." β
According to the Sui system, the governor holds the military and political power, so it is equivalent to the various ministries, and it is the third product, Zhang Xuanning also came according to this establishment, although he did not call the king at this time, but the establishment has begun to form.
There have been changes with the Sui period, and now the main changes are the local official system and the military system.
A county, set too shou, too shou is five products, the county is from the five products, the county lieutenant and the county master book are the six products, and each Cao (household, law, officials, rites, workers, fields) is the seven products.
A county, the county order, the county order is seven products, the county is from the seven products, the county lieutenant, the county master book is the eight products, and each house (household, law, officials, rites, work, field) is the nine products.
Whether it is a county or a county, the household cao (house) officials, the county is counted and the household registration is counted, and the field cao (house) officials are the main ones who reclaim farmland. The three counties have been established by counting the acres of land and distributing the land to the soldiers' homes according to the regulations; the cangcao (house) officials, the main collector of rent, and the county government warehouse inventory, these three cao (houses) have the heaviest rights and responsibilities, and the three counties have been established.
The military system, five teams for one tun, the tun chief for the nine pins, five tun for a battalion. The commander is the captain of the school, the eighth grade, the fourth battalion, 1,200 people, the first guard, the chief officer is the captain of Zhiguo, the sixth grade, the fourth battalion is a house, and the five thousand people. The main general will be General Dingde, who is the fourth product, the three mansions are an army, which is 15,000 people, and the third product is the general Xuanwei.
Of course, there are some middle classes among them.
Now Luo Shixin's official position is directly awarded to the Zhengwupin guerrilla general, who is in charge of the hussar guards with a strength of 1,500 people, only under the three generals who are very early with the other dragons. This kind of high position is glorious enough, Luo Shixin has been in the army for a long time, of course he knows.
Li Chunfeng also smiled to himself and said: "The lord is like this, and when the heroes hear about it in the future, they will flock to take refuge." β
Both are smart people. It's all laughed.
In fact, Zhang Xuanning's intention was Prince Yan's policy towards Jing Ke.
Prince Yan Dan greeted Jing Ke with a downgrade, treated him with courtesy, respected Jing Ke as the secretary, and lived in a first-class house, Prince Dan went to greet and say hello every day, banquets continued, rare treasures continued to be offered, and even carriages, horses and beauties were not stingy. This kind of grace, the sage sneered and said: "Jing Ke will die!"
The reason is very simple, if you receive such a favor and still do not die, everyone in the world will spit on you, and if you flee anywhere, no master will accept this kind of person who does not serve to die after receiving such a great favor.
Therefore, in history, when the prince asked Jing Ke to be an assassin, Jing Ke knew that there was a dead end. can only sing: "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone!"
And had to die.
Now Zhang Xuanning's favor is so heavy. was promoted to Luo Shixin, and Luo Shixin was also desperate, so he had to follow, and the reason was this sentence: Zhang Xuanning is so kind to you, you have to rebel against the master, such a disloyal person, who will dare to accept you in the future?
Of course, it is also the meaning of buying bones for a thousand dollars - the heroes of the world listen, I, Zhang Xuanning, am extremely eager for talents, and I will be promoted heavily!
If you add the deliberately publicized ballads and stories "Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong met the Ming Lord and were promoted" (now it has been made up, and the periphery of Jinyiwei has been assigned to sing in various places), then it will be difficult for these two people to turn back.
If you rebel and kill them, not only will they not have a bad reputation, but the world will be big, everyone will shout good, and the two will bear the reputation of thieves through the ages, and they will never be able to turn over after death, even if they take refuge in other camps, the masters and colleagues of other camps will be suspicious of them, even if they are used for a while, they will not die well in the future.
Besides, it is also somewhat effective to meet soldiers, and this wine and food are enough.
Of course, if there are too many favors, it will be common, so this kind of power trick can only be carried out in a limited number of people.
After laughing, Li Chunfeng said again: "My lord, on November 18, Cao Shi led the rebel army to attack Yuzhang County, an important town in Jiangxi, and took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to capture Yuzhang in one fell swoop, and Liu Zi quickly rushed to Yuzhang. When the drill heard the news, on November 20, he personally led his troops to meet the battle outside the city. He was killed by an arrow in battle. The rebel army suddenly lost its marshal, and the morale of the army was shaken, and they began to retreat. Lin Shihong immediately made a decision, stepped forward, and appointed himself as the monarch, and the war was in a stalemate, and it has been a stalemate for three days now. β
"Are you sure it's true?"
"Yes, there have been several investigations that have already stated. β
"Very good, our army has also been reorganized, you give you a thousand men,
4,000 soldiers, 3,000 soldiers, defend Dongyang County, I took 24,000 troops and rushed straight to Poyang County, at this time, Poyang County was first broken by the thief army, and the thief army arrived in Yuzhang County, and Lin Shihong succeeded to the throne after the death of the master, but after all, the foundation is unstable, hehe, what a rare opportunity!"
Although Zhang Xuanning doesn't remember many of Lin Shihong's specific history, there is no doubt that he is robbing while the fire is taking advantage of the fire, this is not how wise Zhang Xuanning is, but how stupid the master is to beg, the reason is very simple, at this time, the nearby counties are empty, Yuzhang County is an important town, it is very critical, even Zhang Xuanning has to take it down in this position.
It's just that the master was unlucky and died in battle, and no matter how wise Lin Shihong is, when he first becomes the monarch, he must be stable for a while to sit firmly, so Zhang Xuanning can let go of a blow.
"Li Mi, do you have any other information?"
"Li Mi organized the Pushan public camp, selected the elite, and got 7,000 elite soldiers, although the number was not large. However, it is the first-class army in the Wagang Army, and with Li Mi's family background, many people in the Wagang Army are dependent, and it has become a climate, and it is said that in training, when they come next spring, they can fight. β
"Well, keep exploring!"
Li Mi is actually very beneficial to Li Yuan, and his mansion Peng Liu once said: "The Ming Duke and the Chang'an clan have a past encounter. Although he did not accompany the uprising, he blocked the eastern capital, cut off the return route of Sui, and made the Tang State take Beijing without a fight, which was also a public achievement. β
In other words, Li Jian cut off the north-south traffic, so that Li Valve seized the opportunity and easily won Chang'an and Guanzhong, which was a dozen counties at once. And all of them are densely populated key counties.
In contrast, Zhang Xuanning took advantage of the fact that the master was begging to die, and when Lin Shihong first took the throne, he defeated him in one fell swoop and captured the two counties of Poyang and Yuzhang, which was only pediatric, and one-tenth could not be compared.
As long as he thought of this, Zhang Xuanning panicked in his heart, and he vaguely remembered that Lin Shihong was the emperor in Yuzhang. He led his troops to attack Jiujiang, Linchuan, Nankang, Yichun and other counties, and the heroes of these places rose up one after another to kill the officials of the Sui Dynasty, attached themselves to Lin Shihong, and soon unified the whole province of Jiangxi. Then, he sent troops to attack the counties of the South China Sea, wherever the army went. The officials of the Sui Dynasty fled in despair.
And according to the current situation, the land is indeed possible, but this must wait until the beginning of the new year next year, until Li Mi captures Luokoucang, gathers millions of troops, and officially cuts off the north and south, at this time, the Sui Dynasty does not have any mobile troops in the south or the north, so at this time. Whoever can rise quickly can immediately sweep over a dozen or even twenty counties.
It can be said that Li Mi's actions officially collapsed the Sui Dynasty.
"Hmph, you Li Valve can use the world created by Li Mi to make things happen in the north, can't I use the same opportunity to make trouble in the south? As soon as I defeat Lin Shihong, I will personally claim the king. and announced that he had obtained the treasure of Yang Gong, and he had 50,000 elite soldiers. The nearby counties will take refuge one after another, and it is possible to have more than a dozen counties at once, the key is that Lin Shihong must be defeated this year!"
At the moment, 30,000 people, together with 2,000 elite cavalry, poured out of the nest and went straight to Poyang County, the county seat along the way had been destroyed by the rebel army, and the rebel army did not establish an official system, so they took refuge one after another, and there was no war, until Poyang County, staying in the rebel army in the middle of Poyang County, seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately abandoned the city and fled - in fact, it was impossible for them to defend, they were thieves, killing officials and seizing the city, there was no order at all, and the number was small, so there was only this choice.
When he arrived in Poyang County, which was Yuan Bin's hometown, this person immediately summoned the old department, and many officials who were not killed also came to take refuge in Zhang Xuanning, Zhang Xuanning did not hesitate, and directly appointed this person as Poyang County Cheng to stabilize the situation, of course, also left a thousand soldiers to command.
The army rested for a day, and then went straight to Yuzhang County, which was really the time to come - the master begged to die, Lin Shihong was the new monarch, but immediately came the news of the loss of Poyang County, and suddenly, the rebel army was in chaos, not only was it not Lin Shihong defeated Liu Zi in history, but Liu Zi defeated Lin Shihong and captured Yuzhang County.
Lin Shihong had lost the county seat of Yuzhang, lost grain and grass, and was already in a semi-collapsed situation, and three days later, he was followed by Zhang Xuanning's army.
At the dawn, the leaves of the flat forests and mountains have already fallen.
Zhang Xuanning's 30,000 troops, densely packed, occupied several miles of land, and surrounded Lin Shihong's department. Lin Shihong's banners were disorganized, apparently at a loss and frightened by their sudden attack.
And Zhang Xuanning's 30,000 troops, on the Bulie Plain, the formation was uniform, and when they saw the other party's panic on the mountain, everyone suddenly had a high fighting spirit and was eager to try, after all, everyone understood that the other party was not their opponent at all.
Seeing this, Luo Shixin said with a long smile: "My lord, although the thief army has 20,000, it has been defeated without a fight, please allow me to lead the headquarters to attack, and I can break it and capture its head." β
Zhang Xuanning looked at it and nodded in approval, obviously understanding this reason, but he still smiled: "I will send an envoy to persuade him to surrender, if he obeys, he can also avoid sword soldiers, but it will only take two moments!"
After saying that, he sent an official to carry the flag and rode straight forward.
Of course, Zhang Xuanning knew that his army was recuperating and its morale was like a rainbow, and if it was delayed, it would only weaken the momentum, so the time given was not long, but with a little rectification, it would be more powerful, which was also the right principle of the art of war.
I saw a ride forward, but I didn't
Time, on a flagpole, hangs a song, presumably the head of the messenger
Zhang Xuanning was suddenly furious, and suddenly remembered that in his previous history, this person was a typical example of preferring to die rather than surrender. Even in the original history, five years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it had already occupied most of the world, Du Fuwei had surrendered, and the peasant army in the southern region was defeated or surrendered.
This kind of character should be admired, but used on oneself. It will be resolutely intolerable.
Zhang Xuanning immediately had the heart to kill him, the reason is very real, this guy is a resolute lord, and he has a strong personality, no matter how he strikes, as long as he doesn't die, he can continue to fight, typical is the lord who fights hard, if it evolves into a rogue, and he Zhang Xuanning fights guerrilla warfare in the south. That's it.
Suddenly, 5,000 people wearing paper armor, mighty, holding spears, rushed straight up, and on the side, each had 5,000 to respond, and the Chinese army of 8,000, together with 2,000 cavalry, followed closely behind. Slowly advancing.
The big drum in the army rumbled and added to the majesty.
As soon as they got closer, the sound of killing shook the sky, the arrows sneered, and it was time for the handover of the handover.
But no matter how talented Lin Shihong was. In such a situation, he was already powerless, he had only been in power for a few days, and there was no integration within the rebel army, coupled with the defeat in the battle, his prestige was not established from the beginning, so as soon as the battle began, the rebel army galloped east, people shouted and neighed, and the chaos was like the end was coming.
Zhang Xuanning looked at it, although his face remained unchanged. But in fact, he was very happy in his heart, and what he liked most was to attack when others were not in charge, especially this kind of rebel army that had not been tested by many years of war and had not been trained and reorganized - fighting such an army was really victorious and undefeated.
If you give two years, with Lin Shihong's ability, maybe you can really train a strong army, but at this time. It's a rabble!
After half an hour of fighting, there was a tendency for one side to fall to the ground on the battlefield. Only one regiment barely managed to maintain its formation.
"Lord!" Luo Shixin stepped forward and said, he had been in the army for a long time, of course he knew that now was the best time for the cavalry to attack, and once it broke through, the thief army would completely collapse.
"Well, it's time, Shixin, you go and take off Lin Shihong's head, don't let him run away, otherwise it will be a big trouble." β
"Yes, my lord, my lord understands. He joined the army at the age of fourteen, and of course he knew that the rebel army was in this troubleβas long as he didn't kill the leader, he would come back.
Immediately turned over and got on the horse, and with an order, four thousand hooves fired in unison, roaring and shaking the sky, Luo Shixin led a thousand people from his headquarters to sprint straight towards the enemy.
How fast the cavalry is, in the blink of an eye, it has already rushed to the opposite side, although the enemy knows that the other party has cavalry, but at this time there is nothing to do, killing the opponent on his back, and immediately the opponent of the thief army, rushed to pieces.
Seeing that the morale of the cavalry was like a rainbow, as fast as a sharp arrow like a long snake, as fast as thunder and lightning, breaking into the enemy formation, and Lin Shihong also personally led a cavalry to rush down to intercept, this was his last resistance force.
Suddenly, the two cavalry met, hand-to-hand fighting, Luo Shixin was the first in front, invincible, every knife, immediately killed the other party, no one was spared, its first-rate brave general strength, played to the fullest.
The overall situation has been decided, and there are first-rate brave generals with their lives, although Lin Shihong himself is also a first-rate master, but other conditions can not be compared at all, although he hopes to turn the tide, but since ancient times, there has never been a place more realistic and ruthless than the battlefield, if the defeat is successful, even if Sun Wu is resurrected and Kong Ming is reincarnated, he will be powerless.
In the second battle, there was not much time, and the cavalry of Lin Shihongdi, after all, could not be compared with the cavalry that had been in battle for a long time, fell one after another, and at this time, the enemy army had been defeated, and the mountains were full of scattered and fleeing enemy troops.
Seeing this, Luo Shixin burst out laughing: "Lin Shihong, you can present the head!"
Almost at the same time, Zhang Xuanning's eight hundred cavalry had also rushed down, bypassed a circle, each mounted a crossbow, and surrounded Lin Shihong, never giving him any chance to escape.
Lin Shihong's personal soldiers are getting fewer and fewer, and Luo Shixin's cavalry is entangled with him, even if he is a first-class master, it is difficult to get out in such a situation, at this moment, Luo Shixin's long knife is on it, and he begins to fight against Lin Shihong head-on.
Luo Shixin is a soldier, not a samurai, of course he doesn't mind any group fights, his subordinates, divided into several batches, from the front and back to the left and right to cooperate with Luo Shixin's attack, only a few minutes, Lin Shihong was hit by more than a dozen knives, although he roared angrily, but he couldn't change the situation at all, and after a while, he stabbed Luo Shixin again, and he felt that his true qi was exhausted, and at this moment, several long knives and spears pierced into him and penetrated him.
Luo Shixin stepped forward violently, the long knife was swung, and suddenly a head flew into the air, he rode a horse again, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the hair of the head, at this time, the head was still with his eyes open, his expression was hideous, and he had not died immediately.
But Luo Shixin didn't care at all, he killed people like hemp, what was this, he rode back immediately, turned over and dismounted excitedly, and presented a bloody head: "Lord, the minister has beheaded this fang." β
