Volume 1 Jianghu Chapter 75 Knock
The fire is like the scorching sun at noon in the summer and the entire border of Saibei is red through half the sky, 100,000 troops have half a year's grain and grass, Western Xia is not like the Northern Wei Dynasty and Western Chu, the country is rich and the people are strong, the people are not able to make ends meet every year, not to mention that it is carrying such a large amount of military food, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is thrifty and thrifty to be deducted from between the teeth, how Zhao Jiansoul does not know that in order to start the war, he has ordered the people of the whole country to collect donations, and many of them are even forcibly snatched out of the people's homes, about the war, not all the people are like the invaders expect the war to happen, what they want is just peace, but there are fewer families and wives scatteredIf this is the case, even if you eat a little less every day, it doesn't hurt, but those who are kings and those who are for the people stand from different angles and see the problem differently.
The emperor did not want to see that the Western Xia had been living such a "pitiful" life, the people had no surplus food, the treasury was empty, if it went on like this for a long time, without waiting for others to attack, the Western Xia would have collapsed, even if the land of the Western Xia was not available to everyone.
Only war can solve the immediate need.
Only by entering the Central Plains can we create a peaceful and prosperous world, so that the people of Western Xia can really live a prosperous and good life, without worrying about being hungry, without worrying about being difficult to survive every winter, and if you want to get something, you must temporarily lose something, such as the hearts of the people.
That's why soldiers grabbed food, so many women were robbed and used as vents for the army.
Every major change in history has always had to endure a lot of pain, not to mention that this is not a change, this is a war.
So, Zhao Jiansoul is here.
This general, who was famous in Western Xia, but was called a beast behind his back, was finally summoned by the Western Xia Emperor.
Zhao Jiansoul often recalled that when he received the order that day, he was studying the book of war in his own small courtyard, saying that it was a small courtyard, but it was only a courtyard that could accommodate more than a dozen people.
"I want you to break through the Tiger and Wolf Pass in the shortest possible time and lead my Western Xia people into the Central Plains, how many soldiers and horses do you need?"
It was the autumn rain that day, and Zhao Jiansoul was summoned to the palace and saw the emperor who was sitting on the shore of the lake fishing.
"Give me 100,000 soldiers and horses, take the Tiger and Wolf Pass, give me privileges, I will be in charge of the affairs of the army, how to fight the battle, how long it will take, no matter who the rest of the people are, no matter who they are, I don't need to join the army, I will assign whoever is the commander of the 100,000 army. ”
Zhao Jiansoul replied coldly.
"Yes, I will also prepare half a year's military rations for you of 100,000 troops, which is enough for you to survive this winter, Zhao Jiansoul, do you know why I chose to identify you as my Western Xia general in this battle. ”
"It can't be because I'm handsome. ”
That day, the general, who had always been cold-faced and frosty, played a cold little joke with His Majesty the Emperor.
Zhao Jiansoul received the order, first led 10,000 soldiers and horses out of Liangguan, even if the emperor did not finish a sentence even if he had not heard him say it himself, Zhao Jiansoul probably knew that it was just a ruthless word.
10,000 soldiers and horses out of the pass, first did not attack the Tiger and Wolf Pass, but first wiped out many small countries, including the Tatars, and then collected countless large and small horse thieves and robbers, Zhao Jiansoul did not make any promises for these stragglers, just a simple sentence.
"The first battle of this knock pass, my Xixia army to fight, if you think that my Xixia army has the ability to capture the Tiger Wolf Pass, then follow, if you think that my Zhao Jiansoul can't attack it, you can leave by yourself, Zhao Jiansoul will never stay. ”
After a sentence, the 10,000 Western Xia army set out to attack the Tiger Wolf Pass at dusk, and nearly 20,000 soldiers of Western Chu died at the cost of 10,000 soldiers.
Zhao Jiansoul asked Cangtian with a smile with a knife.
"It is said that the Chu army stationed in the Tiger and Wolf Pass is a tiger and a wolf, but it doesn't look good today. ”
As for what this general has the ability to make 10,000 men in Western Xia go to death, it is just a simple sentence.
"I heard that the land in the Tiger Wolf Pass is fertile and rich in beautiful women, most of you will die this time, and the remaining 90,000 troops are afraid that many of them will lose their lives to the Tiger Wolf Pass, but if you fight, where are the immortals, you die, your family will be able to live in the pass in the future, and what you want will not be easy to come by then? But if you don't die, I think your family may not even be able to survive next winter. ”
Before marching and arranging the formation, there was always a focus on motivating morale, and many generals were worried about it, but this technical work came easily to Zhao Jiansoul.
"Do you want to enter the customs to meet the beauties of the Central Plains? I heard that the mother-in-law of the Central Plains can pinch out the water, and I also heard that the gold and silver treasures in the customs are everywhere, and now these things are in front of you, when will you not die at this time?"
All 10,000 Western Xia troops died.
Zhao Jiansoul has never been a soft-hearted person, this is true for his own people, and even more so for the enemy army, but when he arrived at the two young men in front of him, this general who was robbing soldiers and women did not intend to let the two die like this for the first time.
"You can accomplish the feat of setting fire to my grain and grass camp at such a young age, and it seems that you are not an ordinary person, and I suddenly feel that it is a pity that you die at such a young age, so I don't plan to kill you. ”
"If you have any other schemes, then I think you'd better dismiss the idea, I don't think you'll let us go so easily. ”
The scholar dragged the young man on horseback down, he didn't have much strength, and he forcibly used force, and the two fell into the snow at the same time, although it was painful, but at this time he couldn't take care of it so much, and the scholar didn't have time to avenge the revenge when he saw Zhang Mingyue sit up with difficulty, and he said towards the one-eyed dragon.
"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated. ”
Zhao Jiansoul laughed and laughed, he never expected that such words of "integrity" would come out of the mouth of a young man who was only a teenager, although this young man was already a second-grade martial arts master at a young age.
"You think too much, I, Zhao Jiansoul, am hard to chase after me, if I don't kill you, not only will I not kill you, but I will also serve you with delicious food and drink, haha." ”
This sounds too ridiculous, but when Zhang Mingyue and the scholar were brought to the camp, they found out that what Zhao Jiansoul said was not a lie, he really ordered the cook to prepare the meal, and invited the military doctor to take a look at the injuries on the two of them, and bandaged all the wounds on the two of them.
"Why? Don't eat it? Are these dishes not to your Chu people's appetite? Do you need me to tell the cook to change them again?"
A desk, the scholar and Zhang Mingyue on the side, Zhao Jiansoul on the other, the wine is a spirit, in line with the appetite of the northerners, and the dishes are also colorful, flavorful, but the scholar and Zhang Mingyue actually don't move their chopsticks, it's fake that they are not hungry, they can't help but eat some dry food for so long, they are already hungry, how can they resist the temptation of this delicacy? Just let the stomach growl with hunger, the scholar still gritted his teeth and tried not to look at the roasted golden mutton. Seeing that the two of them never moved their chopsticks, Zhao Jiansoul smiled.
"Do you want me to feed you personally, or do you think that my Zhao Jian Soul will poison the food? I am willing to promise to let you live is already a great creation, don't want the food at the moment, I was not killed by my Zhao Jian Soul, but starved to death, then it would be a joke. ”
After he finished speaking, he picked a piece of meat and bit it into his mouth, and the one-eyed dragon still smashed it in his mouth from time to time.
"Look, it's really not poisonous, besides, you are all smart people, you should know that I don't need to be poisoned if I want to kill you, and I won't let you do anything for me, even if I let you do it, you may not be able to do it right, right? ”
"I can't stand it anymore. ”
Li Qiushu forcibly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then glanced at the wrapped young man who only showed two eyes, the young man nodded at him, he was like a hungry wolf who hadn't eaten for seven or eight days, and he couldn't swallow all the plate of golden roast mutton, but Zhang Mingyue was wrapped except for his eyes, he turned his eyes and signaled, and then Zhao Jiansoul tore a hole in his mouth.
"If you knew this, why be so stubborn, right? Eat well, eat and drink enough, and I'll send you back to Tiger and Wolf Pass. ”
Zhao Jiansoul said with a smile.
"Hmm......"
The scholar swallowed a piece of mutton in two bites, and poured a large sip of wine, only then did he ease down slightly.
"You can't fucking lie to us, right? You are so good and send us back? But now I can't care so much, anyway, the two brothers are full of food and drink now, even if they die, there is no regret. ”
"Death? Are you really joking, when does what General Ben said not count? You can eat and drink a meal, and when you are full, General Ben will send you on your way. ”
"On the road?"
Even if he said it again, but when he really heard these two words, the scholar still couldn't help but open his mouth wide, people are like this, the blood is downplay life and death, once the blood fades, he will return to calm, so every time there is a war, the leader will come to a passionate speech, but the scholar's stunned only lasted for half a breath before being interrupted by another sentence from Zhao Jiansoul.
"It seems that you have misunderstood what I said about the road, and I am only talking about the road to send you back to the Tiger and Wolf Pass. ”
Full of wine and food, Zhao Jiansoul really prepared a war horse to send the two out of the camp as he said, even if Zhang Mingyue was prepared, he didn't expect Zhao Jiansoul to come like this.
"Are you really going to let us go like this? ”
"Why don't you dare to believe it? Could it be that you think that I, Zhao Jiansoul, am a person who does not believe in my words?"
"That's not true, no matter what, we set fire to your food and grass camp, and we shouldn't just let us go anyway. ”
Zhang Mingyue said coldly.
"You really can't figure it out to me. ”
"There's nothing to think about, this time you just need to help me bring a word to Xue Pingchuan, just say that I, Zhao Jiansoul, knocked on the level after three days, and the victory was decided in a battle. ”
