Chapter 94 Jiehu Riot
He Bai and his team walked towards Taiyuan County. Along the way, they saw the soldiers of Shangdang County escorting the Jiehu people to the north. He Bai couldn't help but frown when he saw it. What's going on? Didn't it be that the imperial edict seduce Jiehu people? How could it become a captive Jiehu people?
He Baicollar Worker hurried to the border between Taiyuan and Shangdang counties, and saw a huge military camp standing on the other side of Taiyuan. From time to time, he saw Shangdang County soldiers escorting Jiehu people to Taiyuan County soldiers. Every time he handed over, he could get a lot of money. Shangdang County soldiers bowed and thanked him happily.
He Bai rushed up to the horse, and immediately a soldier of He Jiamei, dressed as a soldier in Taiyuan County, stood up in a solemn manner, crossed his gun with his left hand, knelt on his right knee, and performed an ancient military salute. "Go to the lord."
He Bai frowned slightly. He wanted to change the ancient kneeling etiquette, but the sitting posture of people at that time was kneeling and they did not feel very humiliated about kneeling etiquette. He Bai could not change the rules of China for thousands of years based on his own preferences. After all, his own concept is only his own concept, which does not mean that the whole world must accept this concept.
He Baiyu immediately asked, "After the ceremony, who is the main person in the camp?"
The soldiers stood up and reported, "Report to the lord, the camp is mainly Luo joins the army and Cheng Junhou."
He Bai's teammate rode his horse in. Not long after, Luo Pei, Cheng Qi and more than ten officers came to greet him. Everyone went to the main tent together. He Bai did not see the Jiehu people tied up along the way, but just gathered together in groups of three or three, looking at He Bai and his party passing by timidly or hatred. Occasionally, there was a child crying, but he was caressed tightly without saying a few sounds. The entire military camp was lifeless and without any anger.
He Bai frowned and pointed at the Jiehu people and asked, "What's going on? Why didn't he post a message to induce the call, but forcibly capture it and send it?"
Luo Pei bowed and said, "My lord, I am not willing to have such trouble. After I received the letter, my subordinate immediately set off to visit the Shangdang Prefecture. The Shangdang Prefecture was very reluctant at first, thinking that although the Jiehu people were not Han people, they could collect some taxes every year. My subordinates said that Jiehu people were poor, and even if there were tens of thousands of people, they rarely received millions of taxes every year. Moreover, Jiehu haters transferred them from Shangdang as a good thing. My subordinates made the decision to give him 10 million yuan to thank him, so that he could allow him."
"I posted a message saying that the lord wanted to summon Jie Hu as a slave, and he would raise him with enough food and grace every day. The lord would bear all the taxes. Unexpectedly, the Jie Hu people had too deep prejudice against us Han people, and no one believed that there would be such good things. Not many Jie Hu people came to Yi Teng in ten days."
"In order to complete the tasks assigned by the lord, his subordinates had no choice but to ask the prefect of Shangdang and the county soldiers to behead the merits of beheading each time they captured a Jiehu, regardless of age, they would give him thousands of coins to the prefect of Shangdang to thank him, and then they would have all their strength to help him. Ten days later, six or seven thousand Jiehu people were captured. They were afraid that the Jiehu people would escape, so they asked Chengjun Hou to lead a thousand soldiers to help. At this point, the total cost was more than 1,700 yuan."
He Bai shook his head secretly. Luo Pei had a very clear military experience and was not bad in the general direction, but the specific political affairs were not satisfactory. He Bai could see at a glance that Luo Pei was cheated by the prefect of Shangdang, and it was not easy to cheat, so he didn't know how to cheat the slave money.
Moreover, after Jie Hu came, Luo Pei had no specific arrangements, so he just let Jie Hu scatter in the military camp and connect with each other. If he didn't take much precaution, who would have thought that Jie Hu people like frightened birds would not suddenly riot. It seems that this specific handling of political affairs and management is Luo Pei's shortcomings, and he can only be a good adviser.
Before He Bai could say something, the Jiehu people standing in groups of three or two suddenly shouted, and all rushed towards He Bai and others. Although they were unarmed, they were still violent and fierce, and they regarded He Bai as their biggest enemy, rushing towards him like a moth to a flame.
Luo Pei was shocked when he saw this and called "Protect the Lord." Cheng Qi and other officers hurriedly surrounded He Bai and commanded the guards to set up a formation to quell the chaos on the spot. Han Meng and ten other Han children first joined He Bai's command, intending to show their skills to gain a foothold in the army. Without waiting for the command of Cheng Qi and others, they rushed towards the sudden riot Jiehu people under Han Meng's leadership, leaving only Han Qiong protecting He Bai.
He Bai saw that there were not many rioters in Jiehu people, only four or five hundred young and strong, and there was no command, no weapons and armor, and there were no chaos. It seemed that it was not an organized and premeditated riot, but it was just a temporary trigger by himself. At this time, he had more than 70 officers and soldiers who had complete equipment and equipment to protect him, and Jiehu people could be said to be vulnerable.
He Bai sat on the horse and shouted, "The Jiehu people can be injured and not killed, so let them spare their lives."
The Han family's children who were already in conflict had to change the stab to sweep and knock down the oncoming Jiehu rioters one by one. Han Meng rode alone in front of him, and the iron spear in his hand was like pear blossoms. He shot and knocked down all the rioters, either sweeping or stabbing. His bravery was completely revealed among the rioters without arrays.
The other nine Han family members are not bad. Although they are not as powerful as Han Meng, in terms of martial arts, everyone is no less than Cheng Qi, the most brave Cheng Qi, the army's army. Nine spears and nine horses rushed out nine broad roads. The only ones that the army can compare with were probably Cheng Qi, Yu Hua, Chu Hu, Zhen Ge, and the first-time Hao Zhao.
After seeing the martial arts of the Han family's children, He Bai nodded secretly. It seemed that there were a large number of brave generals under his command, which was really good when facing the raid. He Bai had misunderstandings about the fierce generals before, and in later generations, he often saw a fierce general with ten thousand enemies. At first, he thought that this was his personal martial arts, which could really kill ten thousand people.
However, when the enemy was good at arrays against the Yijun, the Yijun was able to form formations quickly and fought in scattered battles, the effectiveness of the general was not obvious. It was not until recently that the army was commanded for a long time and through a large comparison of ancient and modern tactics, that we realized it. In ancient times, the battle was very slow. In addition to encounters and ambush raids, the long time from sending troops to setting up formations and then starting the battle was calculated in hours.
Moreover, once an ancient army formed a formation, it was slow to form a formation, without orders could not move around. It was not too difficult for a fierce general to break through the formation. He just needed to borrow the power of a horse and through the gaps between the formation. As long as the opponent did not block the enemy from the mobile general, the soldiers would not pay attention to it, and they were basically invincible.
As long as a powerful general is not surrounded by the enemy's small formation, and slaughteres the enemy's command soldiers in a large scale, or shoots the command officers in the small formation, completely disrupt the enemy's command system and helps the army on the ground to defeat the enemy at a very small price, this is the main function of the powerful general.
The meaning of a powerful general is to a certain extent, which is the meaning of an open and honest assassin. Knowing that he is coming to assassin, but he can still succeed, this is a powerful general. Those who can stand up among the troops are the so-called enemy of thousands of people, rather than saying that they are really capable of fighting against ten thousand people.
The legendary fight against the generals is just a test of the combat power of the two armies before the war, and it can also be said to be a consumption of the enemy's rushing generals. If the enemy's rushing generals are killed in large numbers before the war, the command system of the army can be prevented from being hit. If the enemy's rushing defeat fails, it may be attacked by the enemy's rushing generals, thus the possibility of defeat.
It is not as important as in later books. It is not important to say that the strong general is, but no matter who it is, it cannot ignore its importance to the army's combat. But as it is said in later books, every battle is based on the martial arts, courage, and one-on-one battle to determine the outcome. That is definitely a joke.
It should be noted that every war in ancient times was composed of mutual fighting between small formations, and then the main generals constantly dispatched troops to attack, defend or support, attack the enemy's disadvantages with their own advantages, and constantly accumulate small victories into great victory. Cracking through one of the enemy's wings, forming a siege against the enemy, and finally defeating the enemy. This is the final way to win.
It is a taboo to give up command of the entire army as the chief general and personally lead elite troops to charge into battle, let alone challenge himself. Therefore, since He Bai left Gongsun Zan's army, there have been almost no cases of rushing and fighting alone, and there is no experience in bloody battles, so it is difficult for martial arts to improve.
After being rushed by the Han family for a while, the morale of the Jiehu rioters was greatly declining. They were pushed over by Cheng Qi and others like bulldozers. They suddenly collapsed completely and fled in all directions, which made the entire silent camp boil.
He Bai was afraid that the Jiehu people in the entire camp would scatter, so he stopped the people who were still trying to charge, and ordered Chengqi and others to temporarily retreat to the commander and act. He also ordered several cavalrymen to gallop in the camp and shouted, "In today's chaos, I will not blame them, only one leader will be punished. Someone gave his head and rewarded 100,000 yuan. The whole family will be free and released."
The yell of the messenger gradually calmed down the chaos in the camp. Before the riot was completed, everyone in Jiehu was frightened, fearing that He Bai would order a massacre. At this time, the yeller called out, everyone suddenly became lucky. If the Taiyuan Commander paid and worked hard to buy Jiehu people as slaves, they thought they would not have massacred, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of money in vain?
Thinking of this, the fear gradually calmed down. When the person who stirred up the fear of the crowd, everyone was immediately furious. Although they didn't believe in the Taiyuan Duwei's guarantee of food and clothing, even if they were slaves, they would not have any worries about their lives. Even if they were more tired, they would not be tired, and where did they not be tired?
But the man aroused everyone's fear and wanted to kidnap the Taiyuan Commander and escape. But he didn't want to fail at all. Fortunately, there was no major disaster before. If the Taiyuan Commander accidentally hurts the Taiyuan Commander and the Taiyuan Commander's subordinates were furious and slaughtered the entire camp, wouldn't the Jiehu people be massacred?
Thinking of this, the Jiehu people immediately pulled out the leader with anger, tied him up and looked for the main tent to come.
