Chapter 535 Interception (Part 1)
In the corner of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are two bamboo baskets stacked in which are placed many official seals, large and small.
In fact, they were all made in Yecheng. It was too late to ask the Shaofu to prepare them before sending them over.
There are too many official positions, such as town general, prefect, county magistrate, etc., large and small.
One basket after another of official seals was sent out, and Shao Xun personally handed it over to others, receiving a bunch of cheap thanks - yes, it was cheap, because they could throw away the Jin Dynasty's seals at any time Official seal, once again accepted Liu Han's official seal.
In troubled times, it is not shabby.
It can only be said that the people of Hebei still miss the Jin Dynasty a little and are not very willing to serve as officials under the Xiongnu. If they have a choice, they prefer to be Jin people. If they don't have a choice, forget it and don't force it. After all, the Jin court is not a good thing.
Tomorrow a group of officials will come to pay their respects.
While drinking tea, Shao Xun played with the official seal and quietly thought about the future of Hebei.
Ms. Liu stood behind the desk, gently rubbing her ink.
She was originally unwilling to do this job, but Shao Xun "threatened" her that if she didn't sharpen the ink, he would sleep with her.
Liu was silent for a moment and then quickly gave in.
Shao Xun smiled secretly in his heart.
He will not touch this woman now, at least not until he confirms that there is no child left in her body.
Besides, it would be too boring to force him to do it. He wanted this woman to come to him on his own initiative.
"The power of a king lies in gathering the crowd." Shao Xun put down his official seal, looked at the map on the wall, and said: "Rewards will be given to those who come, and officials will be given to those who see them. Ye Na, what do you think?"
Liu didn't say anything, just turned sideways and continued to polish the ink.
For Shao Xun, this angle made him feel very relaxed.
We received a bunch of Hebei officials and chiefs, saying insincere words and talking about an unrealistic future. After a long time, even he felt irritable.
So, why not calm down and drink tea, appreciate the beauty, and relax your tense nerves.
Perhaps, this is the true meaning of "playing music and dancing next".
The woman wears a felt hat with colorful satin trim.
On the buckle on the top of the hat, two colored ribbons, green, hang down one on the left and one on the right.
This kind of hat was very popular until the 20th century, and it is similar to the Mongolian hat.
For a while, Shao Xun was a little confused whether this style came from Central Asia or the northern grasslands. It may have been formed by learning from each other.
Looking from the side, the most conspicuous thing under the hat is the pointed bridge of the nose.
The lips are like petals, tightly pursed.
The neck is relatively slender, and underneath is a typical Hu people's round-necked and large-sleeved coat.
This kind of top is very long and usually hangs down to around the knees. The more common ones use woolen cloth, while those in the Chief's House use silk and satin.
The sleeves are relatively fat, which is somewhat similar to Jin people's clothing, but the overall top is tighter, which may be related to people's production and living habits.
The peaks are well gathered and proud.
Maybe I felt the gaze, my breathing was slightly quickened, and the rhythm of the peaks suddenly became disordered.
On the edge of the mountain peak are thick black braids.
On the grassland, some people have bald hair and some have braided hair. This was once an important symbol for distinguishing barbarian species.
There are a few colorful knots tied at the end of the braid as decorations, which looks pretty good.
Some Hu people - both men and women - also like to tie beads and jade in their braids to show off their status and wealth.
The hem of the large-sleeved shirt is tilted back smoothly.
Looking from the side and back, the middle of the hem is slightly concave. Although you can only get a glimpse of it, you can still imagine the deep and charming butt crack.
Shao Xun's eyes lingered here for a while, and the woman turned a little sideways, not looking at her.
Underneath the top are robes and trousers, which are looser and can even be said to be fat.
For the Hu nobles, loose robes and trousers are the mainstream, but they are inconvenient. Therefore, colored brocade belts are often used to tie the trouser legs, so they are also called tied trousers.
Up to the time of the imperial dynasty, relatively narrow and close-fitting robes and trousers gradually became popular because they were really convenient.
The thighs are full and plump, with the roots tightly together.
The calves are round and slender, and paired with long leather boots (long leather boots), they actually look somewhat heroic.
Maybe she had been looked at for a long time, so the woman raised her eyes and looked at Shao Xun.
The eyes were calm, mixed with a little anger, and maybe a little contempt.
Some women are very beautiful, but they hate entertaining others with sex. They always feel that they are very capable and discerning. The only regret is that they are girls and cannot display their ambitions.
After getting married, she makes suggestions for her husband's great cause and pushes the man forward. He is ambitious and looks like he is driven by struggle.
As everyone knows, men will not be moved by your fighting spirit, but will only be moved by your beauty.
It is true that the efforts are in the wrong direction.
"Shi Le gathered nearly 10,000 people in Xiang State, and when he saw that I had not conquered him personally, he fought with Hou Feihu. Do you know how he was defeated?" Shao Xun asked again.
Mr. Liu was too lazy to speak and continued to polish the ink that seemed to last forever.
"The Black Army was fighting in the field, and the Wuhuan cavalry circled the flanks and rear and fired. The people he had gathered in a hurry couldn't withstand it. This was a lack of self-awareness." Shao Xun said: "He ran again. He went to Zhao County, but there may not be any soldiers in Zhao County. Hou Feihu and the Beggar Army followed him, and Shi Le had no time to do anything. The end result was that every time he arrived, he had not yet established a foothold, and the pursuers came again, so he had no choice but to do anything. Continue to retreat. At the end, there are only a few people left. "In fact, what does this scene that Shi Le is facing mean?" Shao Xun looked at Liu and said, "Zi Qi Bing." Since then, I have been running rampant among the cavalry, and I have been used to them being overwhelmed by arrows and arrows. But they have never succeeded, and they have been smashed to pieces every time."
"My soldiers have long been accustomed to fighting with large groups of cavalry, so what if they are surrounded? The Huns are running around me, and they rush up without the confidence, as if to see me off. The Jie people are in the side. There were mountains of corpses in front of the carriage. When they jumped into the carriage formation, they were directly stabbed in the stomach by Bu Shu. In the end, they did not dare to fight me head-on and only wanted to harass the grain road. " "The Wuhuan people defeated Shi Le's hastily summoned infantry with cavalry fire. Is it worthy of pride? In my opinion, it is not worth mentioning."
"The Wuhuan people also know this. So yesterday Bo Sheng was trembling with fear. He begged me to forgive him because he worked for Sima Yue in the past and was afraid that I would settle old scores. "Liu Hezhu and his son's riding skills are acceptable, but they don't dare to make mistakes in front of me because they are proud of their riding, shooting and close combat. He couldn't do anything to me, but I could dig out his lair in Daluze, so he came to surrender respectfully. "
When Liu heard this, he stopped polishing his ink and opened his eyes. Looking straight at the ground, he didn't move for a long time.
Her mind is a little confused.
A few days ago, when she was listening to Shao Xun buying off various heroes in Hebei and proposing the strategy of suppressing generals, she felt that this man was quite capable and could think of things that others could not think of, which made her slightly amazed and a little discouraged.
Hearing what happened on the battlefield this time, he became even more discouraged.
When the things you are proud of are not worth mentioning in the eyes of others, what else do you have to be proud of?
The husband who was once proud of him thought that he was the hero in the world, but he was beaten and ran away in panic.
The power of my mother's family, which I was once proud of, ended up being badly beaten in front of the Silver Spear Army.
Even her proud appearance——
"Ming Gong." Yang Qin called softly outside the door.
Shao Xun stood up and stroked Liu's face gently when he passed by her.
Ms. Liu was stunned for a moment, and then gently knocked down Shao Xun's hand.
Shao Xun chuckled and went out.
That laugh made Ms. Liu feel particularly harsh.
******
The soldiers of the brigade surrounded Shao Xun and arrived at the school field outside Yingchun Gate.
The personal soldiers have expanded to nearly 900 people.
Generally speaking, more than 500 old soldiers guard the inner courtyard, and more than 400 new soldiers guard the outside.
The new arrivals are all recruited in Hebei, and they are basically the children of noble families, Wubao commanders, chiefs, and officials from all walks of life.
Everyone knows that Chen Gong's personal military governor is a shortcut to promotion, so he is willing to send his disciples who practice martial arts in order to get opportunities in the future.
For Shao Xun, this is also a kind of united front.
You have sent your confidants and nephews here, so when you betray me in the future, do you have to think more about it?
It is true that these people must have many children and nephews, and it will not be a big deal if one of them dies. But how much is the cost, right? After all, they are relatives, even if they are forced to think about it for a day and a half longer when betraying, it is still good.
"Ming Gong." Governor Man Yu of Yi Cong, Liu Hedu, Governor of Loyalty and Righteousness, Tao Bao, Governor of Xiaojie, and others all stepped forward to salute.
"Are all the expenses ready?" Shao Xun asked.
"Ready." Man Yu replied on behalf of everyone.
Shao Xun nodded, and then looked at a group of Wubao commanders and manor owners who came from Yangping and Guangping, and said: "The king's army is going to the north to attack the Huns. You should transfer the military supplies. Don't slack off."
"Yes." Everyone lowered their heads and responded in unison.
The autumn harvest has just begun, and there are still a lot of reserves in the granary. When a large army goes on an expedition, it is natural for each family to provide food and grass.
The Yi Congjun still had more than 5,500 cavalry, and this time 3,500 were dispatched, including Liu Da's 1,500 Jie cavalry.
The Zhongyi and Xiaojie armies, with 9,000 infantry and cavalry, were all dispatched.
Yang Dan led five thousand Nanyang soldiers.
Gao Yi led the captured army of thousands of cavalry.
In addition to the temporarily recruited Dingzhuang auxiliary troops from Wei County, a total of more than 30,000 people marched towards Anping County.
To be honest, this strength is actually not weak. The number of cavalry alone is close to five thousand. Even if they face the Huns' cavalry, they are not without the power to fight.
This is the south road, with Yang Dan as its commander.
In the direction of Xiangguo, Liu Huezhu, the general of Luze (three miles northwest of mainland Jersey), Bo Sheng, the general of Shangbai Town, as well as the newly surrendered Wubao advocate Jackal and refugee commander Youlun led 6,000 cavalry and four infantry. Ten thousand, from west to east, attack Anping.
This is the west road, with Bo Sheng as its commander.
The two counties of Leling and Pingyuan recruited more than 10,000 young men to enter the Bohai Sea and Qinghe River to attack Anping.
This is the east road, with Shao Xu as its commander.
Su Qiu, the general of Lukou Town, led three thousand horses southward.
This is the North Road, and it is handsome.
The army surrounded them on all sides, hoping to eliminate the last organized Xiongnu force in Hebei.
To be honest, in a sense, most of these are "second and fifth" troops and not very reliable.
The so-called "tens of thousands of troops" are actually "tens of thousands of strong men", just farmers and herdsmen with certain war experience.
Obviously, they cannot fight a tough battle, but they can still fight a smooth battle.
Anyway, I don’t feel bad if I lose. It would be an unexpected surprise if the pseudo-Jizhou governor Liang Fuxian could be completely eliminated.
Shao Xun felt that he was now a bit like King Fu Jian and King Fu Tian who sent troops from all walks of life to attack the city and seize the territory.
It feels good to surrender troops for a while, and it always feels good to use troops to surrender.
As for his main force, the two battalions on the left and right of the Silver Spear Army and 3,000 Luonan Prefecture soldiers began to set up defenses in Yecheng and Anyang.
Lushang Cangcheng between Anyang and Fangtou gradually began to retreat, gathering troops and carrying out focused defense.
Hou Feihu dismissed most of the mob, leaving only more than 10,000 people to return to Xiangguo, hoarding grain and supplies, and divided his troops into Wu'an.
More and more Xiongnu rangers appear near the exits of Baixing and Fukouxing, which is a sign of a large-scale troop dispatch.
From this point of view, the Xiongnu troops were divided into two groups, one entering Jijun and the other directly inserting between Yecheng and Handan.
No matter when they come, it’s always right to be prepared.
However, Zhang Bin said something rare today: It is better to go straight to Fukouxing, take the initiative, and block the Huns in Huguan...
