Northern Dynasties

Chapter 163
In late autumn, the situation in Dongxia State became turbulent again, and the turmoil that occurred in the north of Kulichuan spread rapidly to the surroundings, so that the chaos in the territory caught up with the time of Liu Pingfu's rebellion in the seventh year of Datong.

This wave of riots is also closely related to Liu Pingfu's rebellion, but there are two completely different rumors in the south and in the north.

There are rumors near Kulichuan that the Western Dynasty sent a group of elite soldiers to attack and kill Liu Zhenqiang, the son of Liu Pingfu, who succeeded Shan Yu and was named the chief of the people by the Eastern Dynasty. , Calling on the Jihu tribes to raise troops to avenge Liu Zhenqiang, and use this to link up with the Eastern Dynasty, and ask the Eastern Dynasty to send troops to rescue them.

But in the northern border of Dongxia Prefecture, it is completely opposite: Liu Zhenqiang, the son of Liu Pingfu, returned from the Eastern Dynasty and killed all the Hu in the territory to repay the revenge of the Hu for not being able to work together to fight against the Western Army. .

Although the sayings are different, the riots in the two places are equally violent.The southern group of Hus was dispatched in large numbers, sweeping north to pursue the murderer of the Western Army who killed Liu Zhenqiang along the way. Of course, they also had the intention of evading the sweeping of the Western Dynasty army.

The northern border was also disturbed. It was rumored that a dozen or so Hu tribes had been raided and looted by Liu Zhenqiang's subordinates.The methods of this group of people are cruel, and no one is left behind wherever they go, which also puts everyone in the Hu tribe in the territory at risk.

"What nonsense! Lao Tzu is so cruel?"

When he heard that the tongue caught by the scouts smeared himself as a murderous maniac, Li Tai was very upset.He didn't kill all those cattle, sheep, women and children, but just drove them into the wilderness and left them to fend for themselves.

What's more, the tribes they mopped up were not as many as a dozen. In the beginning, they used Liu Zhenqiang's identity to mop up three Hu tribes.

However, the scale of these three Hu tribes is not too large, and their power and reserves are so-so. Seeing that it is not easy to survive the winter, they are so enthusiastic when they learn that Liu Zhenqiang, a big Hu chief, is here to recruit for rebellion, and they want to follow Hao Chief Take advantage of the fire to loot and plunder.

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and Jihu's talent for escaping is extremely high, and it is difficult for them to guarantee that they can block the news every time. As the incident spreads to the wild, it is a bit difficult to trick them.

In the last two times, they defeated Hu's troops with direct battles.Relying on Yu Wentai won't work, and Gao Huan's prestige is so-so, and it doesn't work very well after using it twice. Sure enough, only himself is the most reliable.

Over the past few days, their group has wandered from the north bank of Kulichuan to the vicinity of Qingshui.Qingshui is the later Yanhe River, and it is also one of the most important river systems in northern Shaanxi.

Six or seven Jihu tribes were raided along the way, and the trilogy was slightly damaged. In addition to their respective mounts, the horse herd was successfully expanded to more than [-] horses, and more than [-] Han Hu Zhuang men were taken in.

Because the team needs to ensure sufficient mobility, there are not many other gains except for the growth of troops.Even so, due to the expansion of the team's goals, the mobility has also been greatly reduced, and the problem of manpower supplies has become more and more serious.

Several times when they stopped to rest, some Jihu chasers from the south even touched the team's camp near the camp, so they had to mount their horses and continue running for their lives.

Although a large group of pursuers had not yet arrived, the Hu Zu scouts who encountered more and more frequently gradually exposed their whereabouts to the enemy's eyes and ears, and they were no longer as flexible as before.

Of course, although there are many Jihu troops, they do not have a unified and effective command and dispatch, and it is difficult to cooperate with each other. For the time being, they don't have to worry about being surrounded by the crowd.

But the space for activities was greatly compressed, and Li Tai also felt that it was a bit too much, so although he also encountered the Hu tribe in the past two days, he mostly avoided fighting and prepared to move to the south.

In a dry river valley, Li Daomao, who had gone out to the south to check the road information, returned with a solemn expression, "Master Lang, the guard of Fushi City told the defenders that there were only more than three hundred soldiers, and he dared not rush out of the city to respond. Zuo Jin said The road is also densely covered with trails, and it is extremely difficult to pass through. It is said that the three ten thousand cavalry commanders and five thousand cavalry commanders of the black water bandit Hu near Kulichuan mobilized their troops to search for our whereabouts..."

This is really not good news. Li Tai is used to having fun in bitterness, so he couldn't help cursing secretly at this moment: "These black water beards are really thieves, I just killed a He Liuhunfeng The bogus officials given are worthy of their all-out revenge? After returning, I will definitely ask Daxingtai to return to the town and kill all these thieves!"

I have scolded and scolded, but I still have to face what should be faced.The current situation is that when I came here, I was fine, but in a blink of an eye, I might not be able to go back.

The Heishuihu group was startled, and they roamed widely in the southern part of Dongxia Prefecture, directly choking their way back.There is also a more critical point, that is, have the southern states and counties sent troops to the north to fight against them?

Right now they are isolated in the northern border of Dongxia Prefecture, and they just don't understand what's going on in the south.But judging from the activities of these Heishuihu, it is very likely that Huazhou did not send troops.

The reason why he sent Lu Yannan to report back was that he hoped to use the influence of Lu Yan's elder brother, Lu Tong, to send troops here.Now it seems that the effect does not seem to be great.

After all, one level has another plan, and it is a life-and-death issue for him, but it may not be so in the eyes of the higher-level people.

The northern Shaanxi area was originally the fringe area of ​​the Western Wei Dynasty, half-abandoned, and the military investment has never been large, otherwise the Jihu forces would not be so rampant.

And now that the grand reading is approaching, this is the core thing for Yuwentai's hegemony to repair its military equipment and control the powerful forces in Guanzhong.Under such circumstances, it is a bit of a waste of money to move the army northward.

Li Tai's tossing seems to have gained a lot, but it mainly took advantage of surprise and a lot of tricks, which doesn't mean that Jihu's forces are completely vulnerable.And this is also his arbitrariness, the Overlord has neither the preparation nor the obligation to cooperate.

Chen Qingzhi went all the way into Luoyang City supernaturally, but in the end it was still inevitable failure.

Li Tai's situation here is quite good, but the problem is that the Tyrant Mansion doesn't know the specific situation. They probably don't believe that Li Tai has disrupted the entire Eastern Xia Prefecture with only five or six hundred private songs, and they probably still suspect that the Eastern Wei Dynasty has already sent troops. He, want to open up a new battlefield here.He was beaten so hard last year, so of course he should be conservative now and not dare to be greedy for credit.

Blind spots in information and vision cannot be made up with a quick brainstorm. You need to be cautious when deploying troops.

Even if the Tyrant Mansion doesn't send troops to rescue, Li Tai has nothing to complain about.In the past, when the boss wiped his butt, it was limited to personal affairs, but this time it was really difficult to wipe, and if he didn't do it, he would have to mess up.

A living person cannot be suffocated to death by urine. After confirming that the road back to the south is a bit difficult, Li Tai said with a smile to his sad subordinates: "Since we can't go back to the south, let's continue on the road and go to Xi'an Prefecture. There must always be a beginning and an end!"

After this period of time, he has established absolute authority in the trilogy, and his subordinates have no doubts about him regardless of force or intelligence.

So when they heard what he said, the hesitation and worry in everyone's eyes disappeared, and they seized the time to feed their horses and prepare to continue on the road.

Li Tai felt a little upset when he saw that everyone was busy with their own business and didn't ask why they went to Xi'an Prefecture.Even if you have an insight into my idea of ​​misfortune, shouldn't you praise the lord for his good plan?Even if this is the basics, who wouldn't want to listen to a few more words?

The subordinates are too lazy to dihua, this team is really boring!
Li Tai could only nibble on half a piece of dry biscuit, waited until the crowd finished packing, and then led the crowd to move west.

Xi'an Prefecture is located in Wuyuan, northwest of where they are now, just go west along the Qingshui River.After traveling for dozens of miles in one breath, the road was unexpectedly quieter than ever, and there was no Jihu scout who would show his head from time to time.

Apparently, their sudden change of direction was beyond the expectations of Jihu's pursuers, because Li Tai was leading his troops to try to break out to the south for the past two days, so the eyes of Jihu's men and horses were mainly concentrated in the southern area.Turning suddenly to the west, there is no longer any eyeliner for Jihu chasing soldiers.

"The thief has gone west? No matter where you go, chase and kill him all the way!"

When he heard the scouts coming back to report the enemy's movement, Hao Renwang glared and roared, and ordered the troops to set off, adjust their direction and continue to chase.

His hatred for this enemy team is deep in his bones. The accumulation of years of painstaking efforts has been destroyed. If he still escapes and cannot be wiped out, then he will not have to mess around in Kulichuan in the future. , everyone knows he's a jerk.

Hao Renwang's killing intent was still firm, but the other Hu tribes did not have such a fighting spirit.

The reason why they participated in the hunt was, on the one hand, that they were worried that the Eastern Dynasty might be angered by the death of Liu Zhenqiang; A rare opportunity to merge small tribes and grow yourself.

But now that they want to chase the enemy across the border and leave their familiar hometown, those Hu chiefs secretly hesitate in their hearts, and they don't want to take the risk of crossing the border.But soon, Hao Renwang's subordinates sent a batch of cattle and sheep confiscated along the way, asking them to continue the pursuit.

"This Hao Wanqi is also blinded by hatred. There are only a few hundred enemy members in the area, and it is worth chasing after all the troops? However, there is no shortage of western thief ranches in the upper reaches of Qingshui, so it is worth chasing after him!"

After accepting the gift from King Hao Ren, a Hu chief thought for a while before laughing and decided to continue the pursuit.

The various ministries are doing their own thing, such a large-scale operation like this is rare, and the villages in Dongxia Prefecture have been wiped out to the extreme.

When they continued to pursue on the road, most of the Hu chieftains were in a relaxed state of mind. After several days of tracking, they could already confirm that this group of troops was alone, there was no other troops to support them, and the threat was not too great.

But when camping at night, a wildfire suddenly spread in a valley, and the camp soldiers panicked, and soon found a hundred figures shaking on the slope, pointing at them, laughing and insulting them.

"Come on! Kill all these Hannu dog thieves!"

King Hao Ren led hundreds of soldiers around the mountain fire and rushed towards Poling, but when they arrived, those enemy soldiers had already fled away, leaving only a Jingguan built by hundreds of Jihu heads on the hillside. Provocative.So King Hao Ren's angry roar resounded through the night here again.
