Chapter 14 Frosthoof follows the wind and tries to follow the Pyu (13)
【Second update.】
With the arrival of Hangang, Li Xian and Zhe Kexing had already joined forces in Shengzhou, which is the old Fengzhou. The defense system on the front line of Quyechuan has become increasingly solid. If more than 40,000 troops are sitting here all year round, it doesn’t matter whether there are strong cities or not. Unfortunately, the consumption of people, horses, food and grass has made it impossible for 40,000 troops to stay for long.
Also trapped in food and grass was the Montenegro Dangxiang, who was forced to leave his hometown. On the hundreds of miles of roads across the desert, due to the lack of sufficient rations, all the men and horses of the Montenegro Dangxiang were killed and injured. The remaining grass stems under the snow were eaten up by the tribal horses that had passed by before. From the news that the horses were discovered to Shengzhou, we can know that the hundreds of people died in the desert were calculated by hundreds of people, and a large part of these dead came from the result of killing each other and fighting for food.
"Who told them to lead the wolf into the house but did not resist. They committed their own evil, so they cannot survive..."
"Isn't Shi Jin like this back then? Yelu Deguang was rampant in Kaifeng City for a while, but whenever he met Xiongjie from Hebei, he would suddenly kill Hu Lin!"
"According to Longtu's instructions, the invading Montenegro Dangxiang was the main focus on attacking the heart. Now seventeen people are willing to represent the court to persuade them to surrender. Generally speaking, persuading them is not a problem. But if things happen, you must be prepared to take action."
"It is a good thing for anyone to die of such a fool... Think about it further, if the Liao army goes south and wants to detour from the desert, it will be a result."
"If there is no grass-drawing valley, it would be amazing to have two or three thousand to cross the desert that has hundreds of miles south."
"It would be a pleasure to kill at that time!"
Han Gang, who was in charge of the military discussion, had not arrived yet, only Li Xian and Zhe Kexing and their generals were waiting in the main hall.
The two generals said irrelevant gossip. Even with the special status of the Zhe family, Zhe Kexing was unwilling to offend Li Xian, a big dick who held military power. Li Xian would not deliberately make things difficult for Zhe Kexing. Since Han Gang came to take charge of Shengzhou, his attitude was there, which made the army disagree. It was nothing to offend the Zhe family, the vassal state. If Han Gang was both guilty, it would be a big loss.
The two above can still keep a sympathy without tearing each other apart, but the generals and schoolmen below have nothing to say, and they don’t even intersect with their eyes. The atmosphere in the hall is like a tight bowstring, and the tighter it gets, and it becomes sinister.
The Linfu Army, which had too strong color in the Zhe family, was originally an alien in the Hedong Army. When the Linfu Army was first established, it was originally intended to monitor the Zhe family and the Wang family in Fengzhou, which was different from the private army before the Zhe family. However, after the founding of the Western Xia Kingdom, during the process of resisting the invasion of Yuanhao, not only Fengzhou fell, but the prefectures were divided, and the Linfu Army was also extremely frustrated and had to start absorbing local troops to supplement it, which made the Zhe family generals reach into this army that should have been monitoring them. Most of the officers at the bottom were inseparable from the Zhe family.
To this day, the court has almost acknowledged the influence of the Zhe family on the Linfu Army. Although the appointment and removal of the main generals are still inquired by the court, they are often assigned to the Zhe family when they are actually called.
Now that the Linfu Army has achieved great achievements alone, it is not surprising that the Hedong Army has been jealous. Although there are many rewards for the great victory of Jialuchuan, Li Xian led his people north to choose several troops that did not make any contribution in the great victory of Jialuchuan. If you have merits, this is the job of the commander. If you are too partial to someone under your command, you will be troublesome when you lead troops in the future.
Xixia has fallen, and the war is coming to an end. The battle is in Shengzhou. Now the Hedong army that followed Li Xian is working hard to make a fortune at the last moment. Only the Liao and Song dynasties are left. If the alliance between the Chanyuan is based on the Chanyuan, and there will be another seventy years without a war, then will the children and grandchildren have to live with a slaughter?
The veteran generals all knew what kind of treatment did the soldiers of the lieutenant generals and the soldiers of the army received in the decades after the Chanyuan Alliance and before Yuan Hao rose up? How arrogant did the civil servants who were in charge of the salary when facing the military man?! The old man who had been in the army for a longer time still remembered clearly.
The unbearable restlessness is in the hearts of every Hedong Army general. It is not a glory to win a wife and a son, but an urgent task!
"The guide is here!" A loud notification sound came from outside the door. The guard guards shouted and reminded the arrival of Han Gang in the hall.
The conversation between Li Xian and Zhe Kexing immediately stopped, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly changed. Under the leadership of the two main generals, they stood up in unison and waited for Han Gang to advance to the tent.
Stepping into the hall, Li Xian and Zhe Kexing led the crowd to pay respect. Han Gang did not look squinting, walked straight to the main seat in the hall, turned around and sat down.
Zhe Keshi, Huang Shang led several aides behind Han Gang into the door, but the two did not take a step in, but stood in front of the two empty chairs in the lowest position. The rest of the aides who had not yet obtained the official position were standing at the walls of the hall on both sides, and only one person walked into the corner, where there were a few cases for him to record the dialogue and resolutions in the military discussion.
The generals in the tent stood solemnly like pine trees, silently after saluting.
It is not the promotion of the tent when the Dot-Mao is good at fighting, and there is no need for too much tedious etiquette. Han Gang glanced around his eyes and saw that everyone was respectful, so he said a word, "Sit."
After a loud noise, the hall became quiet again. Everyone held their breath and waited quietly for Han Gang to speak.
Hangang had no appetite and was straightforward. He took a look at Zhe Kexing: "Old Fengzhou was occupied, and the court also granted Shengzhou one. Shengzhou was restored, so Zhe Kexing is the right leader."
Zhe Kexing immediately stood up and bowed and said, "I am ashamed of the last generals, but this is the merit of the last generals."
Han Gang nodded, "Zu Dao is too humble, and the court will reward you with merits soon."
The generals of the Linfu Army suddenly looked happy and said the words "reward" were always the favorite words of generals and schoolmen.
Han Gang looked at the generals of Hedong who looked dissatisfied, "But you are all Lao Yu who uses troops. You should know that it has always been easy to seize the city but difficult to occupy the land. It is very difficult to recapture the old Fengzhou. However, compared to the ambitions of the Northern Barbarians and to protect the land of Shengzhou, it is still easier. Therefore, Li Jingjian led the army north and worked together to defend Fengzhou."
Just in the seat, Li Xian owed his body. The faces of the generals in Hedong also improved a lot.
After a opening remark, Han Gang said to the generals: "I guess I don't need to say more about the current situation, right?"
"I will understand it in the end." "Li Xian understands."
Li Xian, Zhe Kexing, led the generals to nod.
Han Gang made a comeback and Huang Shang immediately stood up with a sense of clarity: "The number of Dangxiang in Heishan who went south recently was not normal, and it was more than twice as many as expected. It is obvious that the Liao people were betrayal, and even the tribes that had surrendered to them and allowed them to take Xingling were driven south. It is very likely that Xiao Shisan, who was the Liao people who presided over Xijing, was planning to use these Dangxiang people to Saoran Shengzhou."
This is a summary of the recent situation and a speculation of the Liao people's actions. It is basically the same as the judgments of the generals present, and no one came forward to raise objections.
Seeing that no one objected, he had already set the caliber in advance, and Zhe Keshi continued: "If this is the case, it can be seen that the Liao people have no intention of tearing their faces apart. Therefore, they can only borrow the hands of the Heishan Dangxiang, and at most they can disguise themselves as Dangxiang people and cause some trouble to the official army."
Han Gang sighed softly: "Sneaking, it's not a good weather. The Khitans really respond to the saying, "A generation of mice under a weasel is worse than that of another generation."
Han Gang spoke harshly, which immediately caused a burst of laughter in the hall.
However, Han Gang did not laugh: "Yelu Abaoji saw that most of the Liao Kingdom were sleeping in the grave. The thief who steals the country is not the lord of the founding country, and Yelu Yixin is still a little short of it. I remember that the team of skin soldiers he sent to rescue the Western thieves was also hiding their heads and tails. He was about to go into battle and didn't dare to pick up the bargain."
Han Gang directly pointed out that the name of Emperor Taizu of Liao was clearly not regarded as a country on par with the Song Dynasty. However, it was impossible for anyone in this hall to stand up and blame him. Instead, he felt very happy to speak to Han Gang.
They all contributed to the battle of Xia. No one felt comfortable when Yelu Yixin became a fisherman. When they heard Han Gang belittle the Liao people, they felt that they were in their hearts.
"Longtu said it was."
"Longtu is right."
"That's right! That's right!"
The echoes of the crowd made it difficult for several senior and persistent generals and schoolmen to speak. Li Xian and Zhe Kexing looked at Han Gang in a bit puzzled, wondering what the purpose of belittling the Liao people in this way was.
Li Xian frowned slightly, and was about to get a little too hot and cold atmosphere, but Han Gang snatched the previous step and said: "The Liao people are so self-destructive, you can imagine the combat power... Everyone, no one will think that there are too many beheadings?!"
The generals were even more excited: "No!" "Of course not!" "Thousands of the best!"
The generals and schoolmen in the department were stirred up, and Zhe Kexing stood up and tried to suppress the excessive atmosphere: "The Heishan Dangxiang who could escape south were all mainly strong, but none of the sixty-one tribes placed in the big and small group were completely composed of strong men, and more or less were some elderly, weak, women and children. If it were purely composed of Tings and Zhuang, it must be the Liao people or the Dangxiang tribe who obeyed his orders."
"No, as long as you refuse to obey orders or make excuses, no matter whether it is a Liao or a Heishan Dangxiang who is instructed by him, you will be killed without mercy. You don't have the extra energy to distinguish them at the moment." Han Gang was full of murderous intent and used to betrayal of the Heishan Dangxiang. If there are few people, it will be fine to keep it, but if there are too many, it will be troublesome. The land of Shengzhou is a key place, how can it be kept in their hands?
Squinted his eyes and glanced at the tent again, "No one thinks that the beheading is too good, right?"
