Chapter 263 The rear (additional update for the leader of the alliance, Emperor Han Ming)
“Wang Mi is such a poor ghost!”
“Liu Yuan is also a poor ghost!”
On the post road, The more Chen Yougen thought about it, the angrier he became, and he whipped the prisoner with a whip.
The prisoners were beaten until they screamed, but they did not dare to resist.
"Coward!" Chen Yougen beat him again before letting the unfortunate prisoner go.
Shao Xun stood on the hillside and looked at the team slowly moving forward on the post road.
Prisoners, prisoners, and prisoners...
Chariots and horses, chariots and horses, and horses and chariots...
"Fortunately, we only captured less than 6,000 people, otherwise we would have I can’t afford it anymore.” Shao Xun made a joke, but it was also true.
Liu Ling stood aside and lowered his head silently.
After being captured, no one cared about him and he was left in the cold for several days. Moreover, because of his tall and burly body, he was also wearing shackles, which made it inconvenient for him to eat and made him extremely uncomfortable.
After a few days of grinding like this, the Luyang County Lord was finally willing to see him yesterday.
Without any hesitation, he immediately told everything he knew - without any torture.
The Duke of Luyang County asked him if he would like to be a groom. He was overjoyed and agreed on the spot.
So, he has now become a "glorious" groom, specializing in leading horses and pedaling or driving carriages for the Duke of Luyang County.
"King Kong slave, do you dare to go to Luoyang?" Shao Xun suddenly asked.
“Am I going alone?”
“Someone will accompany you.”
“Yes.” Liu Ling agreed immediately without hesitation.
"Without further delay, let's set off immediately." After saying that, Shao Xun summoned a civil servant and a private soldier, and took Liu Ling to Liang County. Pei Kang then led them to Luoyang to present a statement to the emperor. Inside story of the Huns.
After everyone arrived, Liu Ling bowed and turned to leave.
Shao Xun glanced at him.
This person is still very interesting, very realistic, and can be called a model of a mother who has breasts.
Available, but not trusted.
Liu Ling is also very talkative and has a little humor in his words.
He once mentioned to Shao Xun that Liu Yuan "discovered" a jade seal in Fenshui. There were words on it: "There is a new guarantee for it."
It is said to be the jade seal from Wang Mang's time, which is nonsense. .
He also mentioned something widely circulated in Pingyang: Liu Yuan believed that one of his soldiers could be equal to ten - of course, this was what Liu Yuan said when he was encouraging morale. There was a specific context, but generally Most people don't know the difference and just spread the word.
"Now there are more than 100,000 people, all of them are ten of the Jin Dynasty. They march with drums to destroy the Jin Dynasty, just like Lakuer. The top can become the cause of Han Gao, and the bottom can still be the Wei family." - This is Four or five years ago, Liu Yuan's main force at that time was still the five Xiongnu tribes, with hundreds of thousands of men.
Liu Ling tried his best to complain about Liu Yuan, saying that he was worthless. After hearing this, Chen Yougen and other generals despised him.
After all, it was the monarch you once took refuge in. Once you change the family, you will harm others like this?
The character is too bad to have a close friendship.
"Captain." A messenger came at full speed. After dismounting from a distance, he walked a few steps and handed an order to Tang Jian.
Shao Xun took it, looked at it, sneered and said, "No!"
Tang Jian, Chen Yougen, Jin San and others all looked at him.
"The Emperor ordered me to go east to Baima to reinforce Wang Kan, Liu Qia, Wang Shiwen and others." Shao Xun explained.
"God is treating us like cattle and horses!" Chen Yougen was angry.
In this battle, the soldiers he led repeatedly fell into enemy positions and suffered heavy casualties. We have just finished fighting Hongnong and are going to Baima again. I want them to kill all the people bit by bit.
"Captain, you still have to respond properly." Tang Jian reminded him thoughtfully.
"Hmm..." Shao Xun thought for a moment and said, "Then let's ask a literary official to write a memorial. Let's think about the words. The main idea is that our unit is exhausted from long battles, has suffered heavy casualties, and is short of food and equipment. The sergeants are complaining. The stomach is full, so it is not advisable to move lightly."
"Now we must stick to Yiyang and guard this road for the imperial court to prevent the Huns from attacking."
"One more thing, the Huns have already arrived. We are vigorously reorganizing our troops and will move south in October at the latest. The imperial court should be prepared to deal with it."
"These are enough, let's do this. After writing it, send it to Luoyang."
"Yes." Tang Jian immediately found someone to do it.
Shao Xun shook his head. This was not the intention of the emperor, but an order issued by Sima Yue in the name of the emperor.
Are you kidding me?
No matter how strong the soldiers are, if you move them around and toss them around, they will not be able to exert much combat power in the end.
A bunch of insects, the structure is too small, and all they think about all day long is internal fighting.
The army returned to Yiyang in mid-September and stationed on the spot to rest and recuperate.
At this time, Shao Xun suddenly received a gift: twenty horses and sixty female horses.
This was sent by Beigong Chun through a detour.
The reason is that last year Shao Xun selected some Yiyang specialties and handed them to angels to take to Liangzhou and give them to Zhang Gui.
In his heart, Zhang Gui has always regarded Yiyang as his real hometown, and he has a deep affection for it. After seeing the specialties of his hometown, he was very happy. This should be his return gift.
And the gift selection is quite thoughtful.
The mare was exactly what he needed urgently.
After several years of searching, the number of mares did not exceed 200, so we had to give them to each other. There should be more than 200 horses.
The twenty horses are not castrated. They are really interesting and can be used for breeding. On September 16th, Shao Xun ordered Yiyang Sanwu to seize the time for autumn sowing.
He is planning to take a gamble, which also means that he will not leave here easily. Sima Yue's plan may come to nothing.
******
The news of Hongnong's victory had long spread throughout the Luoshui River Valley. After learning that the army had returned, Du Yin rushed to Jinmenwu as soon as possible.
On the post road by the Luoshui River, groups of prisoners were walking forward dejectedly.
The Wubao marshals from the local Dabao forts such as Yiquanwu, Yanggongwu, and Heshuiwu all came and watched the prisoners quietly without any noise.
They even saw the Huns - you didn't need to hear them speak, just look at the hairdresses.
This kind of realistic education is more effective than anything else.
Before the war, Ji Ji Wai Wai Wai Wai, if you have some money and food, you have to give warnings to the left and threats to the right, but now?
"Ming Gong is a true god and man." Du Yin bowed deeply and sighed.
"Ming Gong uses his troops to win every battle. In the dim light of Ming Gong, the Huns have already stepped onto the Luo River and their troops are approaching Yiyang." Yang Huizan, the master of Yanggongwu said.
Everyone came forward one after another with a flood of flattery.
Shao Xun chuckled, waved his hand and said: "No further talk, the Xiongnu's forward was just repelled, it's not time to take it lightly."
"What? Will the Xiongnu come again?" He couldn't hold his breath. Wubao Shuai asked in surprise.
Others also looked at each other.
Liu Han was captured and killed more than 20,000 people this time. Why did he still dare to come?
"Shao Taibai can't leave." Someone shouted again.
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their attention.
Although many people think that the Duke of Luyang County is the spirit of the Taibai Star descended to earth, few people say it in person. This guy is the first one in Yiyang to say so.
Maybe he himself thought these words were too shocking, so he smiled awkwardly and quietly hid behind him.
Shao Xun didn't seem to hear, and only said: "The Huns are bound to come, don't doubt it. Either go to Yiyang, cross Xin'an, or go down to Hanoi. You still need to strengthen your troops, so don't take it lightly."< br>
Du Yin and others exchanged glances, and they could all see each other's worries.
This worry is not because the Huns are coming, but because of the war.
The Xiongnu or Shao Xun occupied Yiyang. It made little difference to them. They would both ask for money, food, and men.
It would be best if the Huns did not come, then there would be no war and they would not have to pay for food supplies.
"Ming Gong, I don't know about the Zhuwu tribe that was recruited before the war..." After exchanging glances, Du Yin asked on behalf of everyone.
"Do you still have a conscience?" Before Shao Xun could say anything, Chen Yougen's thunderous voice had already sounded: "If the governor had not fought off the thieves, you would not only have to give money and food, but you would also have to go out. The woman labored and sent the hostage to the Xiongnu army. "What's wrong?"
As soon as Chen Yougen finished speaking, everyone lost their countenance.
"You have roots, shut up." Shao Xun scolded, then turned his head and said gently: "There are still more than 4,000 people from the Zhuwu tribe, and I stayed in Huixibang. If the Xiongnu goes south, this is the only way and must be guarded. It is not the time to disband the troops yet, so be patient."
Du Yin sighed secretly, he was afraid that he might not come back. . Moreover, they might even have to provide food to support them.
This happened!
But Shao Xun won a great victory and his momentum was at its peak. Du Yin didn't dare to bargain openly anymore, so he could only hold back.
"Don't be dissatisfied!" Chen Yougen had just been scolded, but he was not forgiving. He still muttered: "Who ordered the sowing of winter wheat last year? Wang Taiwei also asked Governor Shao to ask all the counties to implement this matter. If the Governor didn't Mention, just wait until this year to drink the northwest wind!"
When everyone heard this, their faces felt ashamed, their momentum dropped to the bottom, and they did not dare to mention anything about letting people go.
"It's very hard to return to Xiban to garrison the army. You have to worry about food and grass." Shao Xun said.
"This..." Du Yin hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "There is no one else to blame for this matter."
As soon as he expressed his position, it was hard for others to say anything else.
One or two dock owners timidly suggested that they send their sons and nephews to lead their own tribes. When Shao Xun glanced at them, they suddenly became mute and did not dare to speak anymore.
Shao Xun took Du Yin's hand and said: "I also have a family business in Yiyang, and I am half a Yiyang person. The future of Yiyang requires everyone to work together. We will be stationed in Huixiban Four thousand two hundred people, I intend to organize them into a military unit, with the military name "Zhongwu". Can Du Gong submit to the position of deputy governor of the Zhongwu Army?"
"It's what I want." After adjusting his mentality, he bowed and said.
Shao Xun nodded with satisfaction and said: "I heard that there are many officials in Yiyang County who cannot be driven. Before going on the expedition, I asked Pan Ling for advice and planned to replace some people. To be honest, these people Many people are my disciples, and I hope it will be convenient for Mr. Du to go to the countryside in the future."
"Okay..." Du Yin agreed numbly.
The Duke of Luyang County swallowed Yiyang in one mouthful.
If in the past, only the county magistrate Pan Si was inclined to him, but ten miles away from the county seat, the Wubao commanders still made the decision on everything, but now it is different.
For example, if a disciple of the Duke of Luyang County becomes a soldier in Yiyang County and goes to various Wubao to recruit troops, will you give him or her?
You just promised him "it's convenient". If you regret it in the future, do you really think that he won't get angry?
Hearing this, Shao Xun laughed and said: "I am very happy to see all the talents in Yiyang today. I am the landlord of Jinmenwu, how can I not prepare a banquet? No one can leave, and I will not come back unless I am drunk."
After hearing this, Tang Jian sent his own soldiers to prepare without Shao Xun's orders.
Yiyang County is very important, and the household registration is very prosperous. When the war broke out, many people came here to take refuge. The population of this county may not be less than the other five counties combined.
On the way to class, the governor once mentioned that he had negotiated with Mr. Yuanfu to relocate the remaining people from Hu, Shaan and Hongnong counties - if they cannot be resettled, they would be evacuated to Guangchengze.
Even Mr. Yuanfu himself was shaken.
His family is about to move to Liang County.
If something goes wrong, he will take his people to Zhuyang in the south (Zhuyang County in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Zhuyang County in the Tang Dynasty, today's Zhuyang Town), and then decide on their next move.
No one is a fool in life or death.
If it didn't work out, I just took the troops away and took refuge with Shao Gong.
It's not that I don't dare to do this, it's just that I'm reluctant to lose the position of prefect that I finally got.
