Chapter 829 Human Heart and Tactics
At the end of March in the eighth year of the Turtles (324), outside Lunu County, Zhongshan County, there were "refugee camps" everywhere.
Duan Mobo had just returned from hunting when he heard something that made his blood boil.
Without any hesitation, he got on his horse and roared away with hundreds of horses.
On the bank of Hengshui River, several Xianbei people with long hair were tied up with five flowers and fell to their knees on the bank.
Looking at their bruised noses and swollen faces, it was obvious that they had been dealt with severely. Now they were forced to kneel on the ground, with a stern expression on their faces and dissatisfaction in their hearts.
"Mao Bang, your mother's maid, dare to kill my soldiers?" Duan Mobo flew off his horse and shouted angrily.
More than a thousand men and county soldiers stood on the bank of Hengshui River. They saw the Xianbei cavalry rushing over and were in a commotion.
The wave at the end of the segment is approaching step by step.
At the end, the county captain and more than ten soldiers gritted their teeth and stepped forward to stop Duan Mobo.
When Duan Mobo saw the spear lying in front of him, he stopped. His anger was not diminished. He looked at Gaoyang Prefect Mao Bang who was standing on the grain cart and cursed: "Are you sensible? These are all brave people." A galloping hero among thousands of troops just killed a few old, weak, women and children. What the hell is that?"
Mao Bang jumped out of the car.
Already thirty-three years old, he has a tall figure and a slender face. When he stands against the wind, he looks a bit like a scholar.
But after all, he was not a scholar, let alone a powerless scholar.
At this moment, he was wearing a deerskin leather armor on his chest, with a bow on his left and a sword on his right. When he strode towards him, he didn't pay attention to the hundreds of Luoyan Army soldiers at all.
"A warrior who has overtaken thousands of armies should be killed if he violates the military law." Mao Bang replied firmly and said: "Are you going to rob someone?"
After saying that, he pointed at the man behind him. The Xianbei cavalry asked: "What? You want to rebel? Do you dare?"
Duan Mobo gritted his teeth.
For a moment, he really didn’t want to be so angry and killed Mao Bang, the thief. However, after breathing heavily for a while, he swallowed it alive.
He is not worried about his family members far away in Bianliang.
In fact, family is important, but it does not mean that it cannot be abandoned. If you die, you will die! As long as he is alive, no matter whether he robs or marries, there will always be a woman and heirs.
What he really couldn't part with was wealth.
“This is Zhongshan County, why do you need to meddle in other people’s business?” Duan Mobo cursed.
"If you encounter this evil thing in the road, you will be killed casually. How will you treat it?" Mao Bang asked back: "Even if we make trouble to the Central Guards, I will kill these people."
< br>"Without the soldiers fighting on the front line, you would have been captured by the thieves." Duan Mobo said angrily.
Mao Bang saw his falsehood and was too lazy to say more. He turned around and ordered: "Behead him quickly!"
The soldiers of Gaoyang County were ordered to kill several Xianbei cavalry with their swords in hand. by the Hengshui River, and then threw the headless body into the river.
The Luoyan soldiers in the distance were making a lot of noise, and everyone was looking at Duan Mobo.
Duan Mobo already regretted in his heart.
If I had known earlier I would not have been brave today. This would have made it difficult for me to get off the stage and my prestige was damaged. It would be a huge loss.
After the execution, Mao Bang bowed his hands towards Duan Mobo from a distance and said, "Duan Du, please don't forget the military meeting in the afternoon and say goodbye."
After that, he got on his horse and left with a shout.
The staff rode up to catch up and said: "The king of the government asked for orders for the people. After the news spread, he was praised far and wide. It will be much easier to do things in the future."
Mao Bang slowed down. Ma Su smiled bitterly and said: "There are not many people in Changshan and Zhongshan anymore, so how can we praise him? I'm just too angry. I always remember what Master Shao said back then. Forget it if you don't see it. If you don't correct it if you see it, you are in vain. Yeah. That's the general idea. Let alone the Luoyan Army, even if I capture the old soldier, Wang Que'er, Jin Zheng and others will not be able to avoid me anyway, and they will drift away from me... ..."
After speaking, he sighed slightly.
Fortunately, Master Shao understands me. If others want to say it, let them say it. Anyway, no piece of flesh will be lost. Doing good deeds is the most important thing.
“The Lord just said that there are no people in Changshan and Zhongshan, but he is not right.” The staff pointed to the messy shacks outside the city wall of Lunu County and said: “If you insist, there are still a lot of people. It's just that they are all Jie people, Wuhuan people, Xianbei people and even Dingling people. There are thousands of Jin people, but there are no less than a hundred thousand Hu people. They don't practice farming, but they do hunting and herding."
< br>Mao Bang nodded.
The once extremely wealthy Han county has now become a grassland for barbarian people to graze.
In fact, not only Changshan and Zhongshan, but also Gaoyang, Zhangwu, Hejian, and Boling counties have more or less similar phenomena, but they are not as exaggerated as the former.
There are really few Han people in Changshan and Zhongshan counties.
The Han people who farmed the land disappeared, but the nomadic Ding Ling came, and tens of thousands of them moved south in one breath.
Zhai Shu was nomadic in Zhongshan before. He fled to Xianbei because of the defeat of Shile, but he has always been obsessed with the fertile Zhongshan County. This time he seized the opportunity and simply ran back.
This kind of unfamiliar white-eyed wolf is actually very dangerous.
Mao Bang dared to conclude that once the world was in chaos again, Zhai Shu and his gang would even dare to claim the throne and establish the country like Liu Yuan did. They were really bold and ignorant.
The group soon entered Lunu County.
Gaoyang Dingzhuang and the county soldiers stayed outside and only brought a dozen people inside.
At this time, in the prefect's mansion, Chen Yougen was holding a riding whip and yelling. "Wang Bin, you don't know how to fight, and you don't know how to settle the people?" The riding whip in Chen Yougen's hand almost hit the face of a Wuhuan rich man, and his arrogance made several officials standing beside him hesitate to speak. end.
"Is there anyone left in Wang Feng's hands? They are all wine and rice bags." Chen Yougen cursed angrily: "Two thousand people can freeze to death in one winter, you are so capable. I Let me tell you straight, Jizhou Liu Wangqiao has long been eyeing the people in your hands. If Liang Wang couldn't save his face and didn't issue the order, you would have lost more than 30,000 old, weak, women and children. "
Wang Bin was a big man in his thirties. He was scolded bloody by Chen Yougen, but he did not dare to get angry.
In the hasty escape, I didn’t have time to bring many things with me, which was really difficult.
In addition, they now completely rely on the Jin people to provide food and grass for their sustenance, and they really have no confidence to say anything.
"It's almost April, and Tuoba Heshu is about to send troops to attack the second county. It's unclear whether your family can withstand it." Chen Yougen threw the horsewhip to the ground and said bitterly: " Go away and go back to recruit soldiers and horses. All men aged above thirteen and below sixty will be recruited. Bring the horses and return to Guangning in mid-April. I will help you take care of these burdens first."
"Yes." Wang Bin retreated hastily as if he had been granted amnesty.
After Chen Yougen came to the main hall, he looked up at the map on the wall.
Since arriving here in the second half of last year, the battle has actually not been going well.
Objectively speaking, the Xianbei people have good fighting ability, and Liu Hezhu's men can fight with them, but the casualties are really not light, so he also became slippery later on.
Chen Yougen saw this and became sullen.
If King Liang were here, Liu Hezhu would never be like this. But if it were him, they wouldn't fight to the death.
Today, the Northern Expedition to Xianbei, the king's military order has arrived, and the east route is still under his command, and no replacement is planned.
In the military order, Liu Hezhu selected two thousand fine cavalry, and the three generals of Wuqiang, Puyangshan, and Yijing each sent a thousand light cavalry, plus two thousand Xianbei cavalry from the Youzhou Duanbu. That’s seven thousand people.
In addition, the Luoyan Army, Xiaojie Army, Zhongyi Army, and Ding Ling Zhai Shu also had more than 10,000 infantrymen.
Wang Feng's side combined the troops of Wuhuan, Dugu, and Changsun, and they could still gather 20,000 troops.
There are a total of 37,000 horsemen on this road, and they will be assembled in about mid-April.
In the deployment of King Liang, they belonged to the "partial division". Their main task was to protect the Wuhuan King's family and attract as many troops as possible from Tuoba Heli in Daijun and Guangning.
If you can win in battle, then attack Dongmugen Mountain from east to west.
If you can't win, then try to pester him and don't think about it.
Chen Yougen understands his mission, but he has been angry since he arrived last year. If you dig deeper, it is actually inseparable from his current embarrassing situation.
The disciples of King Liang gradually grew up and gradually stopped paying attention to him.
They may still look respectful, but everyone inside can taste the slight contempt.
You, Chen Yougen, say you can fight, but you really don’t have any outstanding achievements. This is a flaw.
The King of Liang gave him a chance, but it was up to him whether he could seize it or not.
So he was a little anxious.
When I was worried, my own soldiers came to report: Mao Bang, the governor of Gaoyang, has arrived.
He turned around, forced a smile, and said: "Mao Er, among so many people, you are the only one who can bring me good news."
Sending food and equipment, as long as Delivered on time, meritorious service.
"As soon as I entered the door, I heard Chen Gong angrily scolding the generals, but I don't know where the worry lies?" Mao Bang saluted and asked.
"People's hearts are divided and the war is going like this. How can we not worry?" Chen Yougen said.
“May I ask Mr. Chen, can Xianbei fight?”
"He is still somewhat capable. When he is riding and shooting, his arrows are fast and urgent, and when he is charging, he is not afraid of his life."
"My servant asked Chen Gong again, does Tuoba know that my reinforcements are coming?"
>"I don't know."
"The task your king gave Mr. Chen is to defend and counterattack?"
"Yes."
"In this case, why are you worried?" Mao Bang said with a smile: "It is better to show weakness and arrogance to the enemy first."
At this point, he explained in detail: "Last year Tuoba The troops came with great momentum and won consecutive battles. Many counties surrendered after hearing the news. However, as soon as the Tuoba soldiers left, the Marquis of Zhuolu County attracted many people. Anyway, last year's battle was in vain. Let me ask. How can I not be angry? I expect that when the grass grows a little, the bandits will come in force. Because of last year's victory, they must be scornful of the Wang family. There may be an opportunity in the meantime. "
Chen Yougen stopped after hearing this. He stepped down and sighed after a moment: "You are much more capable than my staff, they don't know shit."
Mao Bang smiled and said: "I am not good at military warfare. I only know a little bit about it." He just understands people's hearts. It's up to Duke Ming to decide how to fight."
Chen Yougen snorted slightly and kept rolling his eyes, as if he was seriously thinking about how to arrange it.
"Ming Gong, this battle must be fought well. If we can kill more than ten thousand thieves, the army's power will be greatly shaken. Even the Yuwen clan will not dare to go south to plunder easily." Mao Bang said again.
"Sooner or later, we'll get rid of that old dog Yu Wenqiu Buqin." Chen Yougen spat and said.
"The food has been delivered, so I will leave now." Mao Bang bowed again and slowly retreated.
