In the evening, Yu Wengui rejected the invitation from the Guide City defenders to enter the city, and instead chose a wide area in the valley to camp in Baiyu Mountain.
The sounds of whips and sticks being whipped and the screams of the tortured people kept coming from outside the big tent. Yu Wengui looked slightly complicated, looking at Li Tai and sighing: "The soldiers in the town are brave and arrogant. In times of crisis, we can work together to help.
But once the situation improves, greed and anger will inevitably show up, making people laugh!"
He was talking about the dozens of generals who were being tortured outside the tent. In the evening, when the enemy was gradually disappearing, the Xiazhou troops actually started fighting with the soldiers who were leaving Guide City over the spoils of war. If Yu Wengui hadn't arrived in time and stopped it, this would have happened.
The fight almost turned into a bloody battle.
Both sides also had sufficient reasons. The Xiazhou troops thought that they had solved the military crisis trapped in Guide City, while the defenders of Guide City felt that they had been able to annihilate the Jihu tribe only by fighting hard for several days.
Wu's possibility.
Yu Wengui did not favor his own troops. After stationing in the camp, he ordered the dozens of leading soldiers to be tortured and punished.
After Li Tai heard this, he said: "No one is perfect, and everyone has his own use. A man in armor should love his bravery and reward his madness. Although a polite man speaks and behaves kindly, he is difficult to fight in battle. Make the king
The punishment order is serious and the emperor has great skills, and I, as a spectator, am deeply impressed by it."
Yu Wengui's face improved slightly after hearing this, and he said: "Soldiers each have their own temperament, and their numbers are also different, so they cannot be generalized. Three or five soldiers must be described by their emotions, a hundred or ten soldiers must be described by their ambitions, and a thousand armies can be described by their ambitions."
With threats and threats, all people will respond with kindness and righteousness. In ancient times, there was no shortage of soldiers, but how many people are there who can do better when they are more?
A wise man will lead an army, a wise man will generals. Li Lang, you are both wise and brave, which is already rare. It is even rarer to be able to make big plans and lead the overall situation. With hundreds of people, you will stir up unrest in the northern states. If you say you are taught,
It’s really too polite to me.”
When Yu Wengui said this, Li Tai did not argue with him. What he was most proud of in this incident was not that he was running around to fight as if he were in an uninhabited land, but that he was able to organize personnel in a large area.
The barbarians are rampant in Dongxia Prefecture, but there are few troops stationed there. Although there are troops stationed in the surrounding counties and counties, they have neither the motive nor the obligation to enter and suppress the barbarians in this area. If you don’t want to go, I will lure the enemy over to you and let them go.
The human resources of the environment can be optimally allocated.
At this time, someone else came into the tent to tell Beihuazhou that Hui Hui had led his troops outside the camp. After hearing this, Yu Wengui quickly got up, together with Li Tai and other generals, went out of the tent to greet them.
The news of the arrival of the troops from Beihua Prefecture had been known beforehand, but just now Shihui was still commanding the deserters who surrounded and killed Jihu, and they only came to meet them now after the battle was over.
Shuo Hui had a brief conversation with Yu Wengui first, then turned his attention to Li Tai, pointed at him and sighed: "How many more surprises do you plan to give people? It's just that you are in a bit of a financial situation, so you actually made such a big scene!
Is Chang Shan coming in the future? I was just about to ask him, how does it feel to see the current situation when he is temporarily relieved of his anger and resentment?"
Li Tai was very happy when he heard this, but he still waved his hand and said: "I have never thought of looking down on the seniors I work with. If you say this, it seems that I am not easy to get along with!"
"Yes, you don't have to think about it, you just have to do it! I don't want to talk about the helplessness of those in other states who are passive and willing to accept the situation, but if these black water thieves knew why they fell, would they feel unjust?" …
Shuo Hui pointed at him and shook his head with a smile, then turned to Yu Wengui and said: "I don't know how Hua Zhenggong felt when the incident came, but as far as I am concerned, I am really happy and embarrassed! I like that thieves are scattered and difficult to attack, but now they are
Gathering together to wait for death, the angry general has his own camp in the town, but he has to be driven by foreigners!"
"But for the sake of peace on the border, why worry about the rest. Before Duke Changle arrived, I was already sighing at Li Lang's ingenious plan, which enabled our soldiers to kill the thieves with twice the result with half the effort!"
After hearing this, Yu Wengui said with a smile, showing his attitude.
Of course, Shuo Hui was not really accusing Li Tai of making his own decisions and relying on his own strength. The implication of his words was to affirm his approach and emphasize the contribution and value of his actions.
Hearing what Yu Wengui said, Shuo Hui sighed again: "Yes, there was a rebellion in the seventh year of Datong. Although I didn't take part in it, I know that the people in the court were shocked by it. The king lamented that the road was difficult to prosper. Fortunately,
Daxingtai mobilized all the forces to quickly resolve the chaos before it became a serious problem.
But I don’t want the trouble to come back in just a few years. If Li Lang hadn’t looked into the smallest details, trouble would have recurred, and we and the people in Beizhou would have been responsible for it. How could we have the calmness to calm down the chaos today!
"
When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but feel that the big brother Shi Hui was really good, he really dared to brag about himself.
It is true that Liu Pingfu's rebellion in the seventh year of the reign of Emperor Tong was quite large, but the same cannot be said for his son. If he still had the power he had back then, he would not have been put under house arrest by King Hao Ren, let alone easily killed by his own party.
Li Tai didn't know whether Jihu in Dongxia Prefecture rebelled again during this period in history, but just looking at Liu Zhenqiang's situation, even if he was allowed to torment within the realm, he would probably not be as good as Li Tai
The chaos caused this time is so big.
After all, Yu Jin and others really crippled Liu Ping's Fu tribe in the seventh year of Datong. However, Gao Huan in the east is still busy clearing out the Jihu in the Luliang Mountains and has no leisure to invest heavily in the Jihu west of the Yellow River.
Making trouble.
But when Hui Hui said this, the significance of this matter changed. The core of the entire turmoil was shifted from the encirclement and suppression of the Jihu Rebellion Department to the killing of Liu Zhenqiang to nip the problem in the bud.
In the absence of clear instructions from the platform, several Hui Neng took the lead in sending troops to assist in the rescue. This big brother really had nothing to say! Li Tai only felt that if he didn't add ten sets of test papers to Bodhidharma every day after returning, he would be
I'm sorry for this kindness.
All the troops were tired that night, so they gathered together to garrison and rest. Early the next morning, when there were no longer traces of large groups of Jihu troops in the foothills and countryside, they began to take stock of the gains from the battle.
Since this battle was a rare long-distance attack by Jihu, the main harvest on the battlefield was the captives of men and horses.
Several groups of men and horses gathered together more than 5,000 Jihu soldiers, most of whom were Hu soldiers and strong men.
This number alone may not seem large, but if the number of people living in their respective tribes dependent on these young men is taken into account, then the number of Jihu people affected by this war would be much larger. At least tens of thousands of them would have lost the survival guarantee provided by the tribal force.
.
In this land of northern Shaanxi, without the protection of force, it is equivalent to being reduced to a lamb to be slaughtered, and life and death are determined by destiny.
More than 3,000 horses were confiscated. After all, even a pure herdsman tribe cannot actually equip everyone with horses. The environment where Jihu lives is still a transition zone from farming to animal husbandry. The priority of many tribes is survival.
Rather than the production reserve of military supplies. …
There were also some cattle, sheep and other miscellaneous items, mainly materials that Li Tai had attacked along the way but had no time to collect from the Hu tribe.
To be honest, this kind of harvest does not match the scale of the coordinated operations of several states, but it is only gained on the frontal battlefield. The real big gain lies in the attack on the Blackwater Hu tribes in the Kuli River Basin who have lost the protection of force.
In-depth crackdown.
Nowadays, as late autumn enters winter, Jihu tribes have a tradition of gathering together to spend the winter. The scope of activities has been greatly reduced, and a large number of people have suddenly been lost. Those Hu tribes have undoubtedly become big blood bottles everywhere.
Therefore, Yu Wengui and Shu Hui did not worry about the current distribution of the spoils, but focused on the big head at the back. They were bounded by a hundred miles south of the Sheyan River. In the north, the Hu returned to Xiazhou and the people and horses were raided, and in the southern area,
Return to North China.
Both groups of troops were busy raiding the country and had no time to go to the court to report their merits, so it was decided that Li Tai would escort some of the troops' trophies south to present the victory and pray for the victory. The troops and horses' trophies collected here were requested to be distributed by Daxingtai.
Li Tai was naturally quite satisfied with this arrangement. Although he also contributed a lot, the most important task was to encircle and suppress Jihu, but he could only watch on the sidelines due to his limited strength.
The two elders had broken away from vulgar tastes and focused on practical interests. They took the initiative to give him this opportunity to show his face and show off his merits. He really had nothing to be dissatisfied with.
It was not until the discussion on the distribution plan was completed that Chang Shan from Xi'an Prefecture belatedly arrived. First, he invited everyone to go to Guide City to discuss matters. Yu Wengui had nothing to do with this. Xia Prefecture and Xi'an Prefecture had a cooperative defense relationship.
But Shuo Hui refused to pay attention to this. He had already written to Chang Shan to make peace, but Chang Shan still withheld the war horse that was supposed to be sent to the Dushui Administrative Office without giving any explanation to Shuo Hui, which triggered subsequent events.
, this is undoubtedly not giving some favors.
When Yu Wengui saw Shuo Hui's attitude, he simply refused to go. After all, everyone had already agreed on the profit distribution plan. If they really wanted to meet and discuss it, would they separate him?
If we don't separate, the battle will eventually take place within the territory of Xi'an Prefecture. If we separate, all the troops from other states will quickly enter the country. After the battle is over and the spoils have been divided, you, the governor of Xi'an, will be late to arrive. This is really unjustifiable.
After waiting for several hours in Guide City, but still receiving no reply, Chang Shancai led a dozen soldiers and took the initiative to enter the camp to ask for a meeting.
"Mr. Changle and Gong Huazheng, thank you both for taking the trouble to lead the army to rescue us, so that our state's military and people can be protected from thieves and barbarians!"
After entering the account, Chang Shan strode forward and bowed his hands to the two of them in a low posture.
Shuo Hui rolled his eyelids and said in a deep voice: "Wu Shigong managed the land well and stayed calm in times of crisis. He may have some clever strategies for defeating the enemy that he has yet to reveal to others. Don't blame our troops for being impetuous and rushing forward. This has already made me feel at ease. I don't dare to thank you."
.”
Next to him, Yu Wengui also laughed dryly, pointed at Li Tai and said: "The thieves are coming very quickly. If Gao Pingnan Li Zhengxing hadn't informed me, I wouldn't have known about the disturbance in the state. I came south in a hurry and didn't have time to meet up to fight together. I also asked Wu Shi
Forgive me."
After Chang Shan heard this, he felt embarrassed. When he looked at Li Tai, his expression became even more complicated.
He really wanted to ask Li Tai why he introduced so many thieves into his territory, but now that all thieves were defeated, Shu Hui and Yu Wengui both took credit for it. If he questioned him again, they would all be killed in one fell swoop.
I'm offended. If Zhouzhi is harassed again in the coming year, will they save him or not?
After a while, Chang Shancai clasped his fists at Li Tai again and said, "Li Zheng, your reputation has been well-known to me for a long time. However, due to the limitations of my job, I regret that we did not know each other. The former was confused and misunderstood, and it was not an intentional provocation.
I entrusted the troops to the task beforehand, and I thought that I would be responsible for the matter. Now I am asking for help from all parties to help me out of trouble. I am also deeply grateful. In the presence of the two envoys, I sincerely request arbitration and hope to resolve the dispute with you. Please engage in
I'm sorry. If you have any questions, I won't hesitate!"
