Chapter 513: Accumulating cavalry troops and marching thousands of miles into Hebei
The strong Han Dynasty is not the dirty Jin Dynasty. Even though the Han Dynasty has been destroyed in recent decades, the various border warlords who use Chinese characters as their military flags still have a strong deterrent effect on the surrounding foreign races.
The White Horse Yi Cong, the victory at Bailang Mountain, and the great victory in Hexi, each of these entries represents the nearly crushing combat power of the Han people against foreigners at that time.
Under such circumstances, let alone the foreigners who dare to treat the Han people as two-legged sheep, they will probably tremble in fear when they see the Han's military flag.
Although Cao Wei won the country unfairly, although Sun Wu was in a corner, and although Ji Han had a weak country, throughout the Three Kingdoms period in history, none of these three countries lost the pride of the Han people.
This kind of pride from the bottom of the heart of the Han people and the fear of the foreigners towards the Han people have lasted for hundreds of years in the land of China.
The fear that had been buried deep in their hearts for hundreds of years, coupled with Mi Yang's unparalleled martial arts, made this behavior of the Qiang and Di leaders really normal.
But when Mi Yang saw all the Qiang and Di leaders kneeling on the ground crying, he didn't feel any pity in his heart.
Those who are not from our race must have different minds. Under the unified pattern of China, there is no need for the word "different" to appear.
But Mi Yang also knew that now was not the time to attack the foreign leaders, and he did not hold the meeting today just to see the foreign leaders cry.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the numerous Han troops surrounding a group of foreigners immediately retreated to both sides.
After all the Han soldiers with swords around them retreated, the Qiang and Di leaders felt they had a chance to breathe. They all exhaled heavily, as if they had returned from the gate of hell.
At this moment, one of the Qiang and Di leaders grunted. He took a few steps on his knees to get closer to Mi Yang, and then boldly raised his head and looked up, saying respectfully.
asked:
"May I ask the General, what can we do to make the General forgive us?"
This Qiang Di leader, who spoke in a somewhat literate manner, was named Yang Wanwan, and he was the leader of the Baima Di people in Wudu County.
When Ma Chao swept Liangzhou, young Yang Wanwan joined him to defend Jicheng and separatize Longyou because of Ma Chao's reputation.
But later, when Ma Chao was defeated by Xia Houyuan, Yang Wanwan fled back to Wudu County and continued to be his mountain king.
Later, during the Battle of Xiabian, Yang Wanwan also raised troops to respond to the Han army's advance.
This is why Yang Wanwan dared to take the initiative to ask Mi Yang.
After all, although the Han people never showed mercy to rebellious foreigners, they were also very tolerant of obedient foreigners.
Yang Wanwan believes that his past experience can be called obedient.
As expected by Yang Wanwan, after Mi Yang learned about Yang Wanwan's past under the introduction of Ma Dai, a rare smile appeared on his face.
He said majestically:
"When General Hussar called you to help, you didn't respond. This is really a serious crime against the country."
Although alien races have always existed in fact and can be intimidated by the powerful force of the Han Dynasty, most of the alien races nominally identify themselves as vassals of the Han Dynasty.
Those who did not agree, such as the Xiongnu in the Western Han Dynasty and the Wuhuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty, were beaten to the point of defeat long ago.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Mi Yang to use this reason to convict the leaders of foreign tribes of committing the crime of treason against the country.
After Mi Yang finished these words, he went on to say: "However, your Majesty wants to govern the country with benevolence and righteousness and is a minister to others, and he does not want to harm the name of your majesty's benevolence and righteousness.
I am willing to give you another chance."
Hearing what Mi Yang said, not only Yang Wanwan, but also other Qiang and Di leaders who heard these words showed great joy on their faces.
All the Qiang and Di leaders kowtowed to Mi Yang and said, "I am willing to listen to the general's orders."
When this sentence reached Mi Yang's ears, Mi Yang didn't mince words and directly stated his purpose:
"You should also know that our army will soon embark on the Northern Expedition.
The land of Guanzhong, the land of thousands of miles of plains, rebelled against the Wei Dynasty and occupied the north for a long time, and had many fine cavalry.
For the great cause of the Northern Expedition, I need you to summon all the tribesmen, so that when I go to the Northern Expedition in the future, I will have elite cavalry available."
After Mi Yang revealed his purpose, all the Qiang and Di leaders showed shock.
The Han Dynasty has always had a tradition of deploying foreign cavalry for its own use. When the Han Dynasty can mobilize foreign cavalry for its own use, it usually only requires the dispatch of some troops and horses to assist.
But what Mi Yang said now was that he wanted them to recruit all the sons and daughters of the clan to serve him, which was really beyond their expectations.
If they really did as Mi Yang said, would Mi Yang return their son to them after the war is over?
And after losing so many sons and daughters, how can they continue to dominate the local area?
It was these two concerns that made many Qiang and Di leaders shocked and hesitant.
But just when the leaders of the Qiang and Di looked at each other and wanted to join together to politely refuse Mi Yang's request, Yang Wanwan, who was kneeling at the front of the crowd, took the lead in bowing to Mi Yang:
"I am willing to accept the transfer order."
When Yang Wanwan's voice spread throughout the venue, Mi Yang cast an appreciative look at Yang Wanwan, while all the Qiang and Di leaders glared at Yang Wanwan's back.
Isn't this a proper "foreign traitor"?
If looks could kill, I'm afraid Yang Wanwan would have died under the angry looks of the Qiang and Di leaders.
It's a pity that there is no if in the world.
When Yang Wanwan took the lead in responding with willingness to obey, his attitude quickly affected many weaker Qiang and Di leaders.
Soon more and more Qiang and Di leaders came to worship Mi Yang one after another and expressed their willingness to obey Mi Yang's request.
The fact that things have developed to this point means that the Qiang and Di leaders' plan to unite has completely failed. And if they don't unite, what confidence will they have now to go against Mi Yang's request?
Soon after, the remaining Qiang and Di leaders also expressed their willingness to obey Mi Yang's request.
After seeing that her goal was achieved, Mi Yang's face lit up with joy.
The reason why he wanted to summon a group of Qiang and Di leaders to see him was to actually announce to the world that the two counties of Yinping Wudu had been recovered by him. Another important purpose was to recruit Qiang and Di cavalry troops for his own use.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As Mi Yang just said, although Cao Wei's vitality was severely damaged in the First Battle of Liangzhou, the flat terrain of Guanzhong was able to infinitely amplify the power of Wei's cavalry.
In the Battle of Liangzhou, most of the Wei troops defeated by Mi Yang were infantry, and not many cavalry troops from the Wei army in Guanzhong came.
After all, the cavalry is delicate, and the food rations required to raise a cavalry is more than five times that of raising an infantry.
Most of the roads leading from Guanzhong to Hanzhong are mountainous, which is not conducive to cavalry marching. In this case, Cao Zhen certainly would not bring a large number of Guanzhong cavalry into Hanzhong.
If we don't think of ways to deal with the Guanzhong Cavalry in advance, the Guanzhong Cavalry will definitely cause great trouble to the Han army in the future.
And if you want to deal with the Guanzhong cavalry army, you definitely don't have to rack your brains to think of tactics to defeat the cavalry with foot.
Using a foot to defeat a horse sounds amazing, but in the end it is a desperate strategy.
In this world, if you want to truly deal with the enemy's cavalry, you can only have one yourself.
Although the number of the foreign tribes entrenched in Yinping and Wudu County is not too large, if their strength is concentrated, they will undoubtedly become a powerful cavalry force.
After deciding on this important matter, Mi Yang asked the Han army to bring down all the Qiang and Di leaders to "entertain" them.
They entertained them until their tribesmen arrived.
Being incorruptible and shameless is a distinct label of foreigners, and Mi Yang will not believe in the credibility of foreigners.
After many Han troops had led all the Qiang and Di leaders away from the venue, Yang Wanwan was forgotten by the Han troops alone.
This is of course what Mi Yang means.
Mi Yang looked at Yang Wanwan who was still kneeling on the ground, and waved to Yang Wanwan to come forward.
Seeing Mi Yang's call, Yang Wanwan quickly stood up and walked towards Mi Yang on the high platform after confirming that he was not mistaken.
However, after stepping onto the high platform, Yang Wanwan did not dare to get too close to Mi Yang. He knelt down again a little further away from Mi Yang.
Yang Wanwan's caution made Mi Yang chuckle, but he didn't pay much attention.
He directly told the reason why Yang Wanwan was left alone.
"There was a rebel named Qiang Duan. During the Battle of Xiaben, he betrayed our army and caused heavy casualties to our army.
This revenge must be avenged."
Although Qiang Duan is also one of the famous foreign leaders in Yinping and Wudu counties, he must not dare to come to Yinping to meet Mi Yang because of his past deeds.
But just because he can't forcefully bring it back doesn't mean he won't die.
"You are the well-known leader of the two counties. After you return to your residence later, I hope you can discuss with the commanders. I feel that a sinner like Qiang Duan should no longer live in the world."
Mi Yang's tone was quite gentle, as if he was talking about something trivial, but when Mi Yang's words fell on Yang Wanwan's ears, he was so frightened that his eyes widened.
In terms of power, they can be said to be the top three Qiang and Di leaders in the two armies.
But with such an existence, Mi Yang now has to decide whether to live or die.
The power that was naturally revealed in every gesture made Yang Wanwan's heart unable to calm down for a long time.
"I obey."
Maybe the strong end is not weak, maybe the strong end can hide in the mountains of the two counties, but what the strong end is about to face is the joint strangulation of the vast majority of Qiang and Di leaders from the two counties, and the strong end's fate is almost doomed
.
As for the Qiang and Di leaders, will they agree to Mi Yang?
You can even hand over your own life, let alone the life of a mere strong person.
And why did Mi Yang ask Yang Wanwan to do this instead of just announcing it directly?
This is because Mi Yang must come forward for big things, but for small things, Mi Yang needs to support a spokesperson to inform him on his behalf.
After saying this, Mi Yang stepped away from Ma Dai, leaving only his bodyguard to guard him.
Then he took out a letter from his arms and asked Ding Feng to hand it into Yang Wanwan's hands:
"Wudu County is not far from Tianshui County. I need you to send someone to Ji County in Tianshui to bring his mother named Jiang Wei to Liangzhou safely."
Mi Yang's voice was very soft. He didn't want others to know about this matter, but if he wanted to accomplish this matter, it would be most appropriate to leave it to Yang Wanwan, a foreign leader with great influence in Wudu County.
Because for the Han army, Jixian was not their territory yet, but for Yang Wanwan, Jixian was no different from their back garden.
"When you arrive in Ji County and meet Jiang Wei's mother, give this letter to her, and she will naturally follow you."
"Also, you don't want others to know about this, do you understand?"
Mi Yang's voice was soft, but such a person could easily kill a powerful foreign leader.
What about yourself?
Only then did Yang Wanwan realize why Mi Yang had left both matters to him.
Under the fear in his heart, Yang Wanwan bowed deeply to Mi Yang: "I will not reveal a word to anyone until my death."
But then Yang Wanwan suddenly asked: "What if she refuses to leave with Chen's people?"
Faced with this possibility, Mi Yang responded decisively: "If you want her alone, don't let it happen."
At this moment, Yang Wanwan had a new understanding of Mi Yang's determination.
Wei Yan was also aware of Mi Yang's determination.
After receiving Mi Yang's secret letter, he was so anxious that he almost went crazy!
