Chapter 2528 Some people care about inheritance in order to survive.
In the sixth year of Taixing, winter.
The Ding Ling people were divided into three parts, and most of them entered Liaodong and occupied the original territory of Gongsun Army.
Some of them were completely defeated by Zhao Yun and others. Some surrendered and some fled.
The other part went west, crossing with Zhang He and other Rouran troops, and some people arrived near Yinshan Mountain and began to contact Li Dian.
At any time, it is always the leader who makes the decision, but if the decision is wrong and the first to be unlucky, it must be the people. This is the case for the Ding Ling people. When Commander Ding Ling decided to raise his troops to invade Liaodong, the fate of the Ding Ling people may have been doomed.
After the destruction, even if a part of the Ding Ling people seized the territory of Liaodong Gongsun, it was obvious that the Ding Ling people lacked the follow-up technology tree and could not develop. The outcome can be imagined.
The Dingling people who fled to the west were actually following the same route used by the Huns to flee to the Western Regions.
The same haste, the same hesitation, the same endless fear for the future, embarking on such an old road.
The Ding Ling people did not plan to completely capture Yinshan. Their strategy was to grab a handful and leave.
Make a time difference.
Before General Fei Qian could react, he swung a hammer, grabbed it and ran away.
Now we have entered the era of meager profits for the nomadic tribes in the north. Perhaps ten years ago, no, a few years ago, these nomadic tribes probably felt that they could not imagine how they could be so unbearable with their cowhide.
The Ding Ling people are in a hurry to fight this battle, but they still retain some hope. For these Ding Ling people, this is a battle of last resort. The time point they can choose is very limited, and the preparation is very urgent, so there is no detail.
Think about it, think about it a lot.
But although this group of Ding Ling people were in a hurry, at least they did not go head-to-head with Zhao Yun and others.
But what, I met Li Dian.
Zhang He led Rouran Jiankun and other surrendered troops from the north all the way to the east, and these Ding Ling people were like parallel lines from the gap between Zhang He and Zhao Yun's headquarters. Before Zhang He and Zhao Yun and others formed an encirclement,
At that time, he escaped.
Because of Fei Qian's intervention in this era, the northern desert not only accelerated the decline of Xianbei, but also caused the Ding Ling people who succeeded Xianbei to also enter a state of corruption. However, one thing has not changed, that is, this desert
, still so huge.
Yinshan is a military structure with veteran cavalry as its backbone and new recruits as its mainstay. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is of course not as good as those powerful frontier troops under Zhao Yun, so from this aspect, Ding Ling's people can be considered a bargain.
?
The Ding Ling people obviously came here to plunder. Their marching route was planned to sweep as wide an area as possible. Their battle plan itself was not actually aimed at any military goals. Its purpose was to focus on food, grass, goods, population and livestock.
of.
In the desert of the Northern Territory, robbery is actually a "business" if we speak of it.
How to legally, uh, wrongly, reasonably, uh, maximize profits is indeed a sophisticated business.
This business used to be very profitable.
With just a wave of his hand and the next command, tens of thousands of people swarmed forward, and then they could easily enter the Han land, break open the Han people's locks, and put the things hanging on the walls in Han people's homes on the table.
, hidden in the corner, all packed up and taken away! You don’t have to pay a penny, at most it just takes some effort!
In addition to materials and money, there is also population. Basically, the population robbed mainly supplements the population losses of each tribe. As long as you pay 30% to 50% of the population to the royal court, the rest is yours. And there is coordinated distribution.
The two-legged and four-legged animals captured in various counties in the Han region were sent directly to the designated border areas, and then the tribes at the border were responsible for escorting them back to the desert.
At that time, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty were scattered all over the country, and they were timid and did not dare to fight. When encountering barbarian raids, they would use the lack of orders as excuses. They would even kowtow to the injured people and shed tears in sorrow. On the one hand, they expressed their gratitude to the people.
The sympathy of the suffering people, on the other hand, is to express my innocence, "Without orders from above, I am powerless..."
Then he turned around, wiped away the tears that didn't exist, and said it was fine, as long as the people stopped making trouble. As for whether he had applied before, whether there was a summary afterwards, and whether there was any follow-up, it was none of his business.
Han Chinese officials are afraid of doing their jobs. They do more and do less. They are like puppets. No one can move without instructions from above. When there are instructions from above, when they think they have benefits, they act crazy and take advantage of the opportunity to make money. There is no benefit.
At that time, they were crying and mournful, as if they were about to be executed in the next moment. Therefore, at that time, the Han people, from officials to soldiers, were quite afraid of the nomadic people in the desert.
” of nomadic soldiers and horses, they stayed within the city walls as a matter of course, waiting for the impossible order to come.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once changed the Han people and soldiers from weak to strong, from ghosts to humans. However, later emperors and officials, especially in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, secretly changed the Han people and soldiers from strong to human.
Weak, from human to ghost.
Until Fei Qian's arrival...
This is not a characteristic of Chinese people. It is the same at all times and in all countries. The description of lions and sheep in later generations also shows that once there is no suitable leader, the bad nature of human beings will expand without limit, no matter how good it was before.
inevitable destruction.
To the north of Yinshan Mountain, a simple camp was almost covered by wind and snow.
There were probably two to three thousand people in this camp built in a mountain col. There were no flags in the camp, and no decorations related to glory could be seen.
The tattered curtain of one of the tents was opened, and a Ding Ling man came out with his arms raised to cover his face. He then adjusted to the cold wind and then lowered his arms.
Snowflakes fell one after another, and the head and body of this Ding Ling man were quickly covered with a layer of light white.
Immediately afterwards, two Ding Ling people came out. The three of them stood in the snow for a while, and then climbed up the hillside on one side.
The three of them climbed up the hillside.
The Ding Ling people took the risk and came to Yinshan Mountain because they were too hungry. The Ding Ling people knew that Zhao Yun had only launched troops recently, and they were going to the middle of the desert. Even if they found their traces, it would take time to move back and forth, so there was still a little gap.
Then we should take advantage of this gap to get more supplies.
"Headman, since all the elite Han people have gone to the central part this time, can we grab more time?"
"Yes, the men are all starving, and there are horses and sheep. It is said that there are many in Yinshan..."
Ding Lingtou pondered for a long time and then said: "It can't take too long... because the Han people still have soldiers, not just those in the east. We must move quickly..."
As the Ding Ling head man spoke, he couldn't help but look back at his camp. This was a group of three or four tribes. The Ding Ling camp in the middle of the mountain looked like a wounded beast huddled in a cave.
Declined, with tattered hair, cowardly and anal, and even more frightened and uneasy under his bluff.
However, this is also the time when the Ding Ling people are at their most ferocious...
Crazy hungry.
Hunger means either going crazy or dying, or going crazy once before death.
Aren’t those who are barefoot afraid of those who wear shoes?
As long as you can bear it.
Strong men are the main population, but there are also many old and weak people, but the old and weak are relative, because the youngest among them is thirteen or fourteen years old, and the oldest is not more than fifty years old.
And the younger and the older…
The Ding Lingtou man looked up at the sky.
Snowflakes are falling.
"Even God..." Ding Lingtou muttered for a while, and then realized that saying this might hurt morale. Although morale was negligible at the moment, he could still save a little bit, so he coughed.
, "I see the snow... is about to stop..."
Ding Lingren was held down and beaten once, and his strength was greatly reduced. It is definitely a lie to say that Ding Lingren has no hatred for the Han people in his heart. It is only true whether he is hungry or not. If he cannot get supplies, even if he can get supplies on the way,
When we reach the Western Regions, most people will die on the way.
"When the snow stops and melts... we will lure the Han people out... As long as the Han people dare to come up, they will definitely fall into the trap..."
"Then, we can take advantage of the Han people's weakness to rush in...but we can't stay for a long time. Don't go too deep into the Yinshan Mountains, and don't attack the Han people's city fortress..."
"Headman, if..." One person swallowed a little saliva and said with some difficulty, "I just said if... if we..."
The leader of the Ding Ling people did not wait for the man to finish speaking, but waved his hand and said: "There is no if!"
After a moment of pause, Ding Lingtou added again, "I'm serious, there are no ifs..."
The other two people fell silent, not sure whether they agreed or were helpless in the face of the current predicament.
The snow, I don’t know when, stopped.
……(╯︵╰)……
The heavy snow had not completely melted yet, and Li Dian took the initiative to attack with his men.
Although Li Dian's martial arts is not top-notch, he is relatively a bucket-shaped general. He is average in all aspects, and this average is higher than that of ordinary generals. This makes Li Dian more like a general.
An all-rounder, he can both attack and defend. At the same time, he is not a general waiting to be completely passive. He prefers to control the initiative on the battlefield and find the opponent's weaknesses to attack.
Just like this time, Li Dian chose to take the lead.
Li Dian stood at the top of the slope, wearing a veil on his face, looking into the distance.
Behind him is a long queue, repairing in place.
The scouts scattered in all directions, and the horses' hooves trampled on the remaining snow, leaving little spots of gray.
The large sled dragged long snake-like traces in the snow.
Speaking of which, Li Dian rarely pulls the cavalry out for drills after it snows...
Li Dian looked at the new cavalry who were still a little immature and nervous in action. He felt very calm and did not feel any worries about the battle because the enemy was too weak.
The enemy's simple strategy can even be described as extremely superficial.
Of course, perhaps in the minds of Ding Ling people, this is already a very advanced strategy.
The only thing Li Dian considers now is the total number of Ding Ling people.
Because of the lack of culture among the Ding Ling people, it is actually more difficult than fighting a battle to understand how much the "many, many, many, many" the arrested Ding Ling people mean.
Therefore, Li Dian actually made two-way preparations. If he could fight, he would fight. If he couldn't fight, he would leave. The reason why Li Dian was so confident that he could take the initiative on the battlefield was because of the sufficient logistical equipment under Qiusi's command.
As well as the "Jiang Wu Tang Di Bao" shared regularly from Zhao Yun...
The original battle relied on the general's ability.
The upper and lower limits of generals are relatively consistent, which is relatively stable, and the approximate range is controllable. If there is a large gap between the upper and lower limits of generals, it is inevitable that the dice will not roll well. And now the "Jiangwutangdi Bao"
』It may not be able to raise the upper limit of all generals, but it can raise the lower limit of some generals.
Because some information is indeed very simple if you know it, but it is easy to get numb if you don't know it.
"Jianwutang Dibao", at the very beginning, had the same purpose as Jiangwutang, to tell the story of the war without regard to success or failure, and to teach future generations. Even the Hussars General reported himself in Hangu
Some bad wars in Pingyang were posted as a warning to future generations, and there were also some bad cases like Xu Huang's, Zhang Liao's, etc.
Even the battles that were won were evaluated as "cannot be imitated", "extremely high risk", or "if failure affects the entire army", such as some of Wei Yan's battles...
Therefore, military merit is military merit, and Di Bao is Di Bao. Military merit only depends on the results. If you win, rewards will be given according to the results, while Di Bao is more inclined to the tactical and academic level, and they are two different systems.
Just like this time, Li Dian learned from the "Jiang Wu Tang Di Bao" what he should pay attention to when marching in the snow, and the adverse consequences that would result if he failed to pay attention to these.
Mainly frostbite and glare.
The best way to prevent frostbite is of course fur and grease.
However, Yinshan happens to have no shortage of fur and oil, and with the addition of cotton, linen and linoleum, basically there is not much of a problem.
As for the glare, there are relatively few fine silks, but there are a lot of tattered linens, which can barely be used.
At this time, the cavalry scouts in the distance had already stood on some high places, inserted road signs, and spread out small green square flags and waved them. According to the marching regulations of the hussars, any danger, river, valley mouth, forest, unknown place
If you want to wait in the area, you must send out scouts or forward queues to search. You must check the safety of areas where troops may be hiding before you can move in large numbers...
"General, there is nothing unusual around here." The guards beside Li Dian took stock and then reported.
Li Dian nodded slightly.
After a while, a team leader at the foot of the slope reported loudly that the snow water collection was full.
Li Dian smiled and waved his arms, "Let's go!"
The guard responded and immediately signaled to the flag bearer behind him. Then the flag bearer of the Chinese army blew the departure horn, and at the same time raised the flag representing a certain unit high and tilted forward.
Immediately, the group in front sounded the corresponding horn sound, then waved its own flag, and took the lead to set off with the troops...
The first part, the second part, the central army, the rear division.
It's exactly the same as when I practice on a daily basis, in an orderly manner.
Li Dian was on horseback, and in his ears came the arguments and analyzes of two newly promoted army commanders from behind.
"After passing here, there is a flat river. There are no big mountains, rivers and ravines in front. You have to go all the way to Huangya Ridge before there are some things to pay attention to..."
"However, we still need to send out scouts. We can send more newcomers..."
"Yes, arrange more new people, treat it as if there is an ambush, and practice more. Speaking of ambush, I think we need to be especially careful starting from Huangya Ridge. The hiding place of the Ding Ling people is probably around there..."
"The Ding Ling people... probably don't have any defensive measures... I wonder if they have built a camp or something?"
"Although I haven't seen it now, the newspaper said that they are basically tents...oh, and shacks..."
"..."
They didn't have the slightest doubt about defeating the Ding Ling people.
Li Dian was like this, military commanders were like this, and ordinary cavalry were like this.
The mighty military spirit of the Han people that had been left behind by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seemed to have been picked up again, and then handed over from the hands of the old to the hands of the new in waves.
Li Dian even felt that the military lords and sima he had taught could become relatively qualified generals in other places! At least being a captain would be no problem!
After thinking about it, Li Dian couldn't help but glance eastward, his expression slightly changed, and then returned to normal in an instant.
While they were marching, a scout suddenly came riding back from the left front, which immediately attracted the attention of Li Dian and others.
"I'm afraid I've run into Sentinel Ding Ling..." said the Army Sima behind Li Dian.
Sure enough, the scout came to report that he had met the Ding Ling sentry about fifteen miles ahead. The two parties had a brief contact, and the Ding Ling sentry headed northeast.
"Northeast?"
Li Dian frowned slightly and immediately ordered, "Get the map!"
Li Dian looked at the map and pondered it for a while, but did not immediately issue any orders or express any ideas. Instead, he summoned two new army commanders in front of him and gave the map to these two people, "You guys also have a look, and then
If you have any ideas, please tell me..."
On the map, due north is Huangya Ridge, while to the northeast is an area of hills and ravines.
"Is it possible that Ding Ling is not in Huangya Ridge, but here?"
"It's not impossible...if it's here...there seems to be something wrong..."
The two army commanders said, and then they couldn't help but glance at Li Dian.
Li Dian closed his eyes to rest his mind, without revealing any information on his face.
The two army commanders could only continue to lower their heads and discuss.
"Let's take a quick look and compare Huangya Ridge with the ravine land..."
"good……"
The two army commanders gathered together and muttered.
In fact, Li Dian still had the answer in his heart, and the reason why he didn't say it out loud was because it was just like the army commander asking the new scouts to exercise more. It was Li Dian who was training the two army commanders.
The inheritance of the Han people is not only in terms of culture, but also in terms of military affairs. Just like Qinglong Temple is sorting out the inheritance related to classics, the inheritance of military affairs in Jiangwu Hall is being developed by the Great Cavalry.
Starting from the general Feiqian, it was passed on to various generals, and then passed down from generals like Li Dian to the captains, captains, army commanders, and even the middle and lower-level military academies...
This is the strength of the Han family!
Because the Han family has a complete inheritance...
"General!"
A slightly excited voice came over. Li Dian opened his eyes, looked over, and said with a slight smile: "Have you found the key? Tell me..."
