Northern Dynasties

Not long after Li Tai led his troops to attack Lingzhou City, the Jihu troops led by Han Guo finally captured Liubi City.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Jihu troops is so-so, there are too many of them. Coupled with their hatred for the Eastern Wei Dynasty and their desire for supplies, they have gathered together here and there, which has already brought great pressure to the defenders of Liubi City.

Before the arrival of Li Tai's troops, the Ji Hu who bypassed the defense line of Liubi City and infiltrated in a small group also caused great damage to the order in the territory, making Liubi City unable to flexibly and effectively mobilize personnel in the territory.

Under internal and external troubles, the fall of Lingzhou City became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel's camel, causing the will of the defenders in the city to collapse instantly, making it difficult to guard the city anymore, allowing the Jihu people who seized the opportunity to rush into the city.

"The last general is really ashamed. He led a heavy army to the south, but the thief city was unable to attack for a long time, and he had to rely on Kaifu to attack later..."

Outside Liubi City, Han Guo greeted Li Tai with a face of shame, and confessed the crime of being disadvantaged in battle.

Li Tai didn't blame Han Guo for this either. This group of people was pretending to be an attacking force, in order to attract the reinforcements from the Fenzhou and Yubi frontlines, so that they could not go to reinforce Jinyang in time so that they could do things for themselves.

Han Guo finally managed to attract people from Fenzhou.As for the jade bi, Gao Huan didn't pay much attention to it at all. Liu Feng, who was sent back in the end, was also a fanatical convert. The trap that Li Tai had just set up was in ambush.

Seeing that Li Tai's team was several times stronger than when Zuo Guocheng parted, Han Guo couldn't help being more surprised: "I think this trip to open the mansion will be a big gain? I don't know if it successfully harassed Jinyang?"

When Li Tai heard this, he laughed with complacency. You town soldiers were really bullied by Gao Huan. My brigade has made a big circle around the Jinyang Bafu, and now I am standing in front of you , that's all your imagination?
If this series of his brilliant deeds were told by himself, it would seem that he was not reserved enough, even if he just told the truth, it would sound a bit boastful.There were other generals who came forward and told Han Guo about the experience of this trip in detail.

After listening to it, Han Guo's eyes widened in disbelief, and after a while, he clasped his fists heavily at Li Tai and said with emotion: "Since the great unification, although the generals have been united and the soldiers have worked hard, but the thieves are too powerful. Rampant and unstoppable, self-preservation is not easy, and progress is even more difficult. There is only one person who can make great achievements like founding a mansion! The last general is lucky to walk with him. I am afraid that there is nothing to boast about in life except this!"

Hearing Han Guo's praise for this achievement, Li Tai also laughed, and said with a modest smile: "Such a great achievement, success or failure depends on one person? Everything and everything has indelible merit. General Han controls the armed forces of the Hu tribe Fighting here will lead me to share the enemy's power, the same is true!"

When Han Guo heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter, and he hurriedly and respectfully invited Li Tai into the city to rest and discuss matters, but when he walked to the city gate, all kinds of noises from the city made him feel uncomfortable again. Embarrassed.

Standing at the city gate, Li Tai could see all kinds of figures swaying and running in the city. It seemed that they were engaged in fierce street battles, but in fact, he knew in his heart that these were all Jihu soldiers who were having fun.

Li Tai knew very well the virtues of these Jihu soldiers who had not been systematically organized and practiced, and he could also be said to have made his fortune by fighting Jihu.As long as these guys know how to restrain themselves, the vast northern Shaanxi and western Shanxi regions will not be called a barren land.

In the past few years, they have been running around like rats crossing the street, and now they have managed to gather a considerable force and break through the strong city of Liubi City in one fell swoop.

When attacking Wutu City before, because these Jihu tribes rushed into the city, what was left in Li Tai's hands was only an empty city. Looking at the posture of Liubi City now, I'm afraid it is inevitable.

Li Tai didn't care too much about this, he had already gained enough from this trip, and he should give these Jihuzu a little bit of sweetness.

Seeing that the looting of the city would not be over in a short time, Li Tai ordered Wu Qie to station outside Liubi City first, and summoned Liu Aqi into the camp, marrying Liu Kuzhen to Yunyang Gujihu And he briefly described the situation of being stranded outside the Beishan Great Wall, and asked him about the follow-up plans of these Jihu masses.

Li Tai had previously promised to send the Lishihus in Suizhou back to their hometown and help them gain a foothold, but now it can be said that he has exceeded his promise. As for how these Lishihus should continue to develop, he has both I have no energy, and I don't bother to ask.

As long as these Jihu can ensure that they are enemies with the Eastern Wei regime and serve as his vassals on the east bank of the Yellow River, he will not bother with the specific management and development of the tribe. He will only provide some personnel and material assistance when necessary. It also depends on whether these Jihu are effective or not.

Even if he already has some capital now, he will not casually give alms to waste or subsidize worthless idlers.

Liu Ahqi first saluted Li Tai and thanked him, but when he talked about what to do next, he himself had no idea: "Thanks to the lord's protection, the forces have re-emerged, but after all, they are not the old people.

These pawns have their own belongings, and they can still stick to each other when they are poor, but if the situation improves slightly, they will disperse and leave.The slave is only a small chieftain, and does not have the prestige of the former Zuo Xianwang and the young master. The master entrusted all the tribes to the slave, I am afraid they will not obey my orders..."

"Since this is the case, then there is no need to bother to rule, and let it be indulged in this town."

After listening to Liu Ahqi's complaints, Li Tai said again: "Our troops in Jinyang and Fenzhou successively severely damaged the defenses of the Eastern Bandits. He Liuhun's men and horses will return soon. The teachers are in vain and the rear is in great trouble. It is inevitable that people who are dissidents in the territory will be angered. Those who are still stranded in the territory at that time will inevitably find it difficult to escape.

After my department leaves here, you will call a group of friendly races to return to Lishi and hibernate as soon as possible. Don't be greedy, I will leave enough supplies for you to survive the winter in Lishi. "

After Liu Ahqi heard the words, he nodded again and again, and promised again and again that he would complete the task satisfactorily.

Everything here is over, and the escape route has been opened, if you continue to linger, it will become purely looking for excitement.

So Li Tai began to arrange for the evacuation in batches. First, Zhu Meng led some combatants to escort all kinds of supplies and the old and weak among the prisoners of war in Mangshan, and returned to the Lishi area over Huangzhuling, while he himself led the rest of the troops. In this palace.

When Li Tai's troops withdrew in batches, the Hu people from Zhulishi swarmed out along Liubi City as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and soon penetrated into all parts of Fenzhou, completely unrestrained and controlled, and There was no plan or goal at all, and locusts swept up and down the Fen River Valley.

Seeing their active appearance, Li Tai reckoned that if he stopped them, he might even get involved in these nonsense, so he let it go.With the existence of these Ji Hu, even if Gao Huan wants to retaliate after returning, it is impossible to spread to northern Shaanxi in the first place.

It took four or five full days before the people on the front line passed through Huangzhu Ridge and arrived at Lishi. After Li Tai got the news, he didn't stay any longer. He led the people behind and set off on the road. Instead of staying, he continued to lead the troops, and finally returned to Wutu City after ten days.

Wutu City is already very close to northern Shaanxi. Even if the army of the Eastern Wei Dynasty pursued it, it would be difficult to stop Li Tai's Wudu River from returning to Suizhou, so he could take a rest here.

When Li Tai arrived in Wutu City, other people also sent feedback one after another. Li Yunxin's previous envoy sent a message that he had led his troops back outside the Beishan Great Wall to harass him, and agreed that he would not return to Suizhou until the twelfth lunar month.

The front part of the army led by Liang Shiyan, which was withdrawn via Xishan, has also arrived in Zuoguo City. Li Tai is most concerned about this part, because the most important personnel gains of Jinyang's trip are all along the way, so he immediately sent troops to go there. Collision.

He stayed in Wutu City by himself, while arranging for his troops to cross the river west in batches, while summarizing the personnel gains of this trip.

Aside from the achievement of various strategic goals, the biggest gain in terms of personnel is naturally the rescued prisoners of war from Mangshan. In addition to those who died of injuries and illnesses on the way and died in battle, there are still 5000 people who finally arrived in Wutu City. people.

In order to appease the lingering fears of these prisoners of war who survived the catastrophe, Li Tai first arranged for these troops to return to Suizhou, so that they could feel at ease as soon as possible.

In addition, more than 3000 prisoners were also captured in several city defenses in Fenzhou. This was because Li Tai did not order the troops to carefully collect the prisoners of war and gathered them together.After all, in the enemy's territory, if you gather tens of thousands of captives, it will not be easy to restrain and manage, and at the same time, the target will be too big, making it difficult to advance and retreat.

These more than 3000 captives were all in their prime of life, full of strength, and Li Tai did not treat them harshly all the way. After all, the supplies collected in Lingzhou City and other places were not small, so their emotions and attitudes were stable and obedient, and they were sent to Heishui Defense After being resettled in the city, it will soon be put into production in the fields next year.

Of course, the most important thing is the craftsmen and palace slaves captured from Jinyang Palace. Although some of them were lost on the way because of the winding and rugged road in the West Mountain, there are still more than [-] of them.As for those craftsmen with exquisite skills that Li Tai ordered to focus on, none of them were lost.

Apart from these personnel, the seizure of other materials is also very impressive. Except for the rare items in Jinyang Palace, the savings of Cao Ni and Liu Feng in Lingzhou City were also taken away by Li Tai. The palace harvest is not too bad.

However, there are many kinds of these materials, and it is difficult to make an accurate calculation. If it is an approximate estimate, even if it does not reach a Gaoaocao hundred-man team, there will always be thirty or fifty.

Of course, a considerable part of the harvest Li Tai would not sell at all. Of course, the armaments such as fine armor and sharp weapons should be distributed to his cronies to improve the combat effectiveness.

Li Tai does not intend to submit much of these personnel gains to the Taiwan government. After all, his action this time is not an explicit order from the Taiwan government. The main force implemented it, and the Taiwan government gave almost no effective personnel assistance from the beginning to the end.

The support from the Taiwan government is not much, but the harvest is great. They killed the traitor Yanzi as an example, broke through the Jinyang Palace and plundered it, completely disrupted the situation in Jinyang, and killed the general Liu Feng who was the enemy of the Western Wei Dynasty. , Destroying Fenzhou's anti-Hu city garrison, causing Jihu to enter the country and causing disasters, etc., not to mention that there is a former queen like Xiao Erzhu.

With so many things, who wants to care about the proportion of materials seized in this trip with Li Tai, even Daxingtai is no exception!

Although I offended the big brother, but made such a brilliant military exploits, you stinky black otter will beep with me blindly to blackmail my booty, I will directly join the old man and completely join the emperor, and create a new and joint victory, just ask You are not dumbfounded!

Of course, if Xinhe Liansheng can not do it, he should try not to do it as much as possible. He really doesn't want to wear a helmet every day.After all, the next era is the era of big increments that can really make a big cake. It would be too fucked to waste precious opportunities on internal friction.

So Li Tai didn't plan to eat alone, and silently set several standards for Yu Wentai in his heart, such as making Lu but still keeping your family safe, making Lu and then making your house uneasy, and the supreme and luxurious Yang Jian set meal , How to choose depends on whether Yu Wentai is interested or not.

As the last group of people in this area has arrived in Wutu City, it is announced that Li Tai's trip to Jinyang has finally come to an end.

Taking advantage of the remaining time, Li Tai demolished the Wutu city again, and then crossed the river back to Suizhou before the river was completely frozen. After hearing the news of Huan's retreat, he went to the court to present his victory, to welcome the glorious moment that belonged to him and all his subordinates.

People's sorrows and joys are not the same. As early as when Li Tai had just led his troops to leave Liubi City and arrived in Lishi, Liu Feng's troops were defeated and some people fled back to the Yubi camp in a hurry.

Since Liu Feng left the camp in the name of supervising the transportation of grain and grass, when his tribe returned, the guards at the camp gate led them directly to the gold tent of Da Sima Hulu, who was on duty today.

The defeated soldier naturally didn't know the interests of the upper-level personnel, and after entering the account, he kowtowed and wept to report the news of the defeat of the army and the death of the general.

Hu Lujin's face changed suddenly after hearing the words, he didn't know anything about such a big matter, and at this moment, he heard that Liu Feng, a general, was killed in battle, and he felt more and more serious about the situation, so he immediately asked sternly : "Who is there with you? Who did you report this situation to before entering here?"

Under his questioning, the soldier was vague, so Hu Lujin ordered the soldier to be taken under the tent first, and ordered the battalion patrol to pay close attention to similar personnel, and arrest them immediately if they found out, and they were not allowed to be with the camp. People come into contact with at will.

After explaining these things, Hu Lujin had no time to stay in the tent, stood up and hurried to Gaowang Zhongjun's big tent.

At this time, in the large tent of the Chinese army, Gao Huan was still wearing his uniform and light armor. When he returned from watching the battle in front of the battle, he saw that the siege method he created by digging tunnels to penetrate the wall foundation, supporting beams and then setting fire to the city was quite impressive. As a result, several sections of the city wall collapsed, causing great commotion in the city.

However, because Yubi City was too high above the ground, the attacking army did not seize the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the city, so that the city had the opportunity to repair the gap in the city wall with fences.

Although he didn't take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle, it also proved that Yubi City is not indestructible, so Gao Huan is in a relatively relaxed mood at the moment, and is going to personally supervise the battle tomorrow, and then launch a fierce offensive into the city.

Coincidentally, Zu Teng, the subordinate Cang Cao joined the army, came to see him and offered advice to persuade him to surrender: "Today's collapse of the city wall shows that the people in the city are more panic-stricken. Please speak for the king to surrender Wei. This guy has been holding on to this isolated city so far, so it can be seen that he is not inferior to Wang Sizheng." A famous general, if he can be included under the king's command, he will be more powerful. Moreover, Wei Xiaokuan was born in a large family in Kansai, if he is willing to join the king, he can also be an example of the wind direction, which will make the western thieves jealous and uneasy..."

Gao Huan didn't plan to surrender Wei Xiaokuan at the beginning, after all, the current siege method is quite effective, and worried that if he stopped fighting and surrendered, his morale might be depressed, but what Zu Ting said was not unreasonable.

His goal in this battle is not a mere Jade City, if Wei Xiaokuan is surrendered and the trend of Xi Zei's hearts is disintegrated, it will be a harvest.The Western Thieves are originally sent to Kansai, if they lose peace with the famous clans on the surface, they will definitely be in trouble.

He still weighed himself here. The soldiers in front of the account came to ask Hu Lujin to see him, so he invited people in, and when he saw Hu Lujin walked into the tent, he said with a smile: "It's just right for Da Sima to come, and Zu Canjun is doing it for me. Speaking of persuading the western thief Wei Xiaokuan to surrender, he is planning to consult with Da Sima to discuss whether it is possible."

Zu Teng quickly stood up and bowed to Hu Lujin, but Hu Lujin just glanced at him and then said to Gao Wang angrily: "This kind of deception is only a trick of the cunning man. If it is successful, it will be taken advantage of by the thief." Wisdom is stupid, if it is not successful, people have not done their tricks. Could it be that the king's current achievements are based on the tricks of the Han people?"

Hu Lujin's tone was so blunt, which immediately made Gao Huan feel a little embarrassed, and pointed at Zu Ting with a smile and scolded: "Idiot slaves are not allowed to engage in foolish tricks again, if you offend my Da Sima again, you will be punished severely! "

After hearing the words, Zu Ting responded with respectful words, and then cautiously retreated out of the tent, but when he glanced at Hu Lujin from the corner of his eyes, his eyes were full of resentment.These town soldiers and old slaves do not like Gao Wang to be close to them, the servants of the mansion, for fear of being alienated by Gao Wang because of this, they are really mad dogs who are greedy for the Lord's favor!

Hu Lujin was also very unhappy because Gao Wang concealed such a major military plan, but was still in the tent to share the secret schemes of the Han people's advisers. Forgive me, Your Majesty."

Gao Huan repeatedly waved his hands to express his indifference, but Hu Lujin's next words made him speechless in embarrassment: "The left guard general Liu Fengsheng left the camp to go north a few days ago. May I ask what your majesty sent?"

"This, this, it is true that Liu Fengsheng was sent abroad for other matters, and he was not involved in the war here, so he did not report to the chief minister."

Hearing Hu Lujin's aggressive tone, Gao Huan was also a little displeased, and then said coldly after a short silence.

"The minister was in the direct account, and Liu Fengsheng's close relatives reported that his troops were ambushed in Zhucheng. The bandits were very strong. Liu Fengsheng was slaughtered on the spot, and all his troops were defeated!"

Seeing that Gao Huan still refused to tell the truth, Hu Lujin simply told the matter directly.

"what?"

After Gao Huan heard the words, he stood up suddenly, lost his composure, felt dim in front of his eyes, swayed his body and took two steps back before barely standing still, and said in surprise: "What kind of stubborn thief, even Liu Fengsheng can't fight against it!" ..."

While speaking, he only felt hot flashes in his mouth, but he still didn't take it seriously even after his emotions were agitated. Hu Lujin raised his head and saw bloodshot eyes from Gao Wang's mouth and nose, and his face changed in shock, he rushed forward to help him Said: "Your Majesty, be safe and don't be impatient, there are ministers waiting for everything... Your Majesty!"

As soon as his arm touched Gao Huan's arm, Gao Huan's originally upright body slid down suddenly, his eyes and breathing became messy, and his palm was firmly hooked on the front of Hu Lujin, and his tone was quick and weak: "Steady!" , Stabilize the morale of the army! Call, quickly call Ah Hui...back to Jinyang, back..."

One big chapter, this volume is over, and the next volume of the Central Plains melee will start tomorrow, and the various endings and influences after the Battle of Yubi will also be included in the next volume.A tricky treatment was made for the Battle of Yubi, and it was also a retreat in the face of difficulties. As a typical example of offensive and defensive warfare under the background of the era of medieval cold weapons, I think the protagonists have to be Gao Huan and Wei Xiaokuan. Anyone else would be less exciting. .The angle of view of the web is limited, and the protagonist must be the focus of the scene. Instead of inserting this scene forcefully, using my not-so-smart brain to arrange and plagiarize the tactical wisdom here to make blunt marriage, it is better to open another perspective to describe other content .I wish you all a happy life. . .
