Chapter 428 Tianyuan Pond
In early November, Hanoi was already quite calm.
Zhongshan King Liu Yao led his troops to leave, not knowing where to go.
Liu Can, the king of Hanoi, continued to stay, but his military strength was greatly reduced. During this period of time, his only achievement was to defeat Guo Mo, the Wubao commander who wanted to return south to the Jin Dynasty-how to put it, he can be considered justified.
Shao Xun asked Guo Mo to lead his troops to camp near Beicheng, while the people retreated to the south bank for resettlement.
On the fifth day of November, more than 3,000 newly recruited Silver Spear soldiers and student soldiers arrived in Beicheng.
Some of them will make up for the vacancies and improve the establishment of each building. The remaining ones will be organized into four new recruits (Buildings 21-24). After the reorganization is completed, they will go to Zhongli City for training as a reserve team.
After absorbing hundreds of private soldiers from various tribes, the number of rebel soldiers has recovered and now exceeds 3,200.
After some adjustments, the number of troops left on the north bank was about 15,000, including 6,000 from the Silver Spear Army and 1,200 from the Yi Cong Army. The rest were composed of Xuchang Shibing and Tuntian troops. Auxiliary troops formed by the army.
There are 2,400 silver spear recruits in Zhongli City.
In Nancheng, there are more than 1,500 black soldiers, plus a large number of Heyang Dingzhuang who can be recruited.
On the sixth day of November, Shao Xun led nearly 6,000 Yinqiang and Yi Cong armies and personal soldiers back south, and walked across the river on the pontoon downstream.
Before leaving, he and Wang Queer walked on the long embankment together.
"Weicang will allocate 100,000 dendrobium grains this month, and the imperial court will also transport grain to the city builders, and store all of it on the north bank." Shao Xun said: "In this way, the grain storage can last until the end of February. "
"The south bridge will probably be completed before the freeze. Don't worry. After it is completed, the floating bridge downstream will be demolished."
"If thieves come, as long as they don't disturb the craftsmen. If they delay the construction of the city, just ignore them and continue to hold on. I guess they won't be able to move many people this winter, and the real fighting will begin next spring."
"Be cautious. , Don’t waste your time fighting, remember, remember.”
Shao Xun said a lot in one breath, and Wang Queer responded respectfully.
Soon he thought of a question, so he asked: "If the Huns attack from the ice, do you want to send people to dig into the ice?"
"You are two of the three cities of Heyang. Commander of Wan Dajun, don't ask others for everything, but dare to make your own decisions." Shao Xun patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "This is the first time for a general to make an important decision. Sometimes, you may be scared, worried, and doubtful, but you have to make a decision.”
"Then we will recruit people to chip away at the ice near Hezhu and the pontoon bridge." Wang Que'er said.
When he said this, he subconsciously looked at Shao Xun, hoping to get his approval.
"Think for yourself." Shao Xun laughed, and then said: "In the previous battle to attack the camp, I saw that your command was determined and you did not look forward or backward. Why are you so indecisive now?"
< br>"The battle was fierce at that time, and I had no other focus. I was in a hurry and issued various orders." Wang Queer said: "Thinking about it afterwards, the life and death of tens of thousands of people were in the palm of my hand, and I broke out in a cold sweat."< br>
"The orders you issued without thinking are all correct. It shows that you have a very solid foundation." Shao Xun encouraged: "I did not hand over the defense of Heyang to others, but to you, because you have This skill. Do it well and don’t think too much.”
“Okay.” Wang Queer responded.
"I'm leaving. Silver Spear Soldier is our foundation, don't throw it away lightly." Shao Xun warned again, and then left.
Wang Queer has been in the army for almost ten years. He actually has all the skills and is very familiar with military affairs.
In the battle of Chamati, he directed the frontal attack all by himself. Shao Xun did not intervene, and it proved to be okay afterwards. At least, he has a good sense of battlefield, and his troops are well organized and have no obvious flaws.
People always have to grow up slowly.
By continuing to cultivate his confidence and commanding one or two successful battles, Wang Queer will be able to slowly eliminate the last bit of lack of self-confidence, break through the mental barriers, and become mature.
At this time, you can go out alone to lead the war in one direction, instead of having him as a teacher behind you like this time.
Doing everything himself, he is too busy.
******
On the eighth day of November, outside Guangmo Gate in the north of Luoyang City, the atmosphere was very strange.
In the light snow in the early morning, a long dragon-like team descended from Mangshan Mountain and quickly approached Luoyang.
After Taiwei Wang Yan, newly appointed Northern Army Lieutenant Commander Liu Mo, left guard general Pei Kuo, right guard general Li Yun, and valiant cavalry general Wang Hu left the city, they dismounted from a distance and looked anxious.
The hundreds of cavalrymen who were in the van rushed straight towards the city gate as if they had not seen them.
The gatekeepers were extremely confused and felt that they should stop him, but the officers remained silent and did not issue any orders. So they stood by the road like puppets and watched the Yi Cong cavalry enter the city.
After Yi joined the army, he became a large group of silver spear soldiers.
They are six soldiers from the right camp.
Among them, Buildings 11 and 12 participated in the war last year. They first escorted Cao Liang to Luoyang, then played with Xianbei Lu Zhuyan, and returned to Xingyang via Dalong Mountain.
Buildings 13 to 16 participated in the battle for the first time this year. It was a high-intensity war like the Battle of Jamati. Being led by a veteran from Zuoying, the performance is not a stretch, but a bit of war experience.
Wearing the sleeve armor captured from the Huns and holding long spears, these people took control of Guangmomen for the first time, and then advanced inward without hesitation.
After walking for about two miles, Jin Zheng, who was leading the team, ordered to stop, looked up at the low wall on the right side of the road (Guangmomen inner imperial road), waved his hand and said: "Open the door." The sergeants rushed forward, escorted the gatekeeper, and opened the gate.
The command sounded quickly, and the silver gunners lined up like a reflex. Soon, hundreds of people, led by a building owner, entered the gate and walked along the grassland by the lake, searching the pavilions and houses nearby one by one.
They even boarded a boat moored on the shore and went to the island in the middle of the lake to search the palace carefully.
The name of the lake "Tianyuanchi" was dug by Emperor Wen of Wei Dynasty in the fifth year of Huangchu (224). There is a small island in the middle of the lake. Jiuhua Terrace, also known as Jiuhua Palace, is built on the island. It is not very big, only about 20 houses.
On the left side of the royal road in Guangmomen, facing Tianyuan Pond, is the Luoyang Arsenal. Jin Zheng also sent people to search and occupy the commanding heights in the arsenal to prevent anyone from using crossbows to assassinate.
After doing all this, he sent two more teams, walked more than a hundred steps forward, placed the horses along the imperial road, and set up barricades.
Good guy, I can only say good guy!
This scene was comparable to the emperor going out on a trip. Passers-by were stunned and asked if the emperor was going out of Hualin Garden to inspect the city.
Yes, Tianyuanchi is located in the northeast of Hualin Garden, and is theoretically part of the Royal Forbidden Garden. However, generally speaking, because of the existence of Jiuhua Terrace and Tianyuanchi, it occasionally docks vehicles from other places entering Beijing. Ships, many people regard it as another royal garden.
The Silver Spear Army swarmed here for no other purpose, because Shao Xun wanted to meet the emperor here - the emperor could enter the Tianyuanchi boundary after leaving the Yunlong Gate on the east side of the palace city.
The large group of cavalry continued to enter from Guangmo Gate, occupying Tianyuan Pond and Luoyang Arsenal.
After receiving the news, the people of Luoyang flocked here to watch the excitement. Within a moment, the imperial road inside Guangmo Gate was crowded with people, squeezing and jostling.
"Where is Mr. Chen?"
"Where is Taibai?"
"Don't block me, Shao Taibai is the savior of the people of Luoyang. I want to see what he looks like .”
"What's so good about a burly man?"
"Isn't he better looking than you, who is both male and female? A strong man like Taibai can make you cry."
"Vulgar! ”
Everyone was noisy, standing on tiptoes, reaching their heads, and staring at the north with wide eyes.
Soon, a large group of cavalry entered, surrounded by a red-robed general.
The general was followed by several people, and the one closest to him was Taiwei Wang Yan.
Some sharp-eyed people noticed that Taiwei Wang’s face was not very good and he kept talking, as if he was trying to persuade Mr. Chen?
Mr. Chen didn't reply to him very much. He occasionally said one or two words, but most of the time he just ignored him.
Megatron Zhongyuan’s unique skill of “talking orpirate” was useless in front of Mr. Chen?
The group quickly dismounted.
Mr. Chen left first.
A vicious man with a scar on his face walked quickly to the front to clear the way.
A strong man who looked like a bear carried a big flag and followed closely behind.
The soldiers were scattered on the left and right, surrounding him into Tianyuan Pond.
"Tianjia Forbidden Garden, you can enter if you want, alas." A scholar sighed sadly.
Some people thought he was right and said: "No matter what, I am a minister of the Jin Dynasty, and I should give the emperor some dignity."
Some people dismissed what they said and sneered. Said: "Let me ask you two, how many fewer people are there in Luoyang than five years ago?"
"Ten thousand people leave a year, at least 50,000 people leave." Someone said in support.
"Fifty thousand people may be too many, but there are always 30,000 or 40,000 people." The man from before continued to sneer: "Why are you leaving? Luo Jing is surrounded from both sides for three days, what will happen if you don't leave? My family My ancestors had few meritorious deeds, but it was a pity that when it came to my generation, all the family property was in the manor outside the city and the mansion in the city. I wanted to leave but was reluctant to leave. Shao Taibai defeated the Huns and saved Luoyang. Such a great achievement. , It’s the emperor’s turn to give him dignity.”
“Yes, it’s not uncommon for the Tian family to go out to welcome Shao Gong when they go out to fight in ancient times. They are all prisoners of the Huns."
The two sang in harmony, leaving everyone speechless.
It can also be seen from here that Shao Xun has more and more "fans" in Luoyang City, and his level is slowly getting higher.
You know, Shao Taibai has been fighting for Luoyang since the time when the three kings of Changsha, Hejian, and Chengdu were fighting.
How many achievements have you made in the past ten years? So many people in Luoyang subconsciously ignored his Donghai hometown when talking about him, and regarded him as a Luoyang native.
This year, the situation in Luoyang has become increasingly critical. The Battle of Xin'an launched by the emperor ended in a disastrous defeat. In contrast, the Zhamati prisoners of war slaughtered 15,000 Xiongnu in a glorious victory. At this point, Shao Taibai is already qualified to be on an equal footing with the Emperor - maybe a little less, but the great savior of Luoyang cannot be too courteous.
Just let him be the Lieutenant Colonel of the Northern Army, so that everyone will not be always worried.
