96. After the appetizers are over, it’s time for the main course
Li Shushi, who had returned with a full load, returned to Lishi City with a relaxed mood, while Yelida's Huns army and Wuze's Wuwan army would gather at Lishi City again after sending the prisoners back to their own tribes to fight against the Xianbei invasion from the south.
people.
The rich results of this time obviously also excited the two little guys who participated in a large-scale battle for the first time. This will obviously become an important experience for the two to become clan leaders. However, the success of General Xihe's power and chilling wisdom
Li Shushi, who is deeply rooted in the other party's heart, also has reason to be satisfied, not to mention that he has plundered nearly 400 young men and legal professions that are very valuable even to Xihe now. This will all become a way to strengthen Xihe.
The seeds of the county soldiers’ strength.
Li Shushi and his troops returned to Lishi City and received a warm welcome. With the spread of the news, what was originally just a harassment operation against the Xianbei people was publicized into an unprecedented victory. And the hundreds of Xianbei prisoners who were brought back were
It became the best footnote to this great victory. Although the cloud of Xianbei people still weighed on people's hearts, it was no longer as fearful as before.
Moreover, due to the previous small victory and the big victory against the Jie people, the local tycoon who was originally worried and dissatisfied with Li Shushi, who had become the dignified two thousand stone prefect before he was crowned, was completely convinced this time, and even Li Shushi
The elders of the Li family in Xihe were ready to put aside their original grudges and fully support this young man who was inexplicably brought in by outsiders.
After returning to Lishi, Li Shushi waited with peace of mind for the arrival of the Xianbei army. However, to his surprise, although the Xianbei people walked out of that valley in less than three days after they left, it is very likely that they would still be there in the end.
They chose to take a detour over the mountain. After all, the pile of stones was quite big and it would not be easy to clean them up. However, they did not go straight to Lishi City.
Perhaps it was because Tuoba Pigu informed He Lian about the news that Wuwan and the Huns were helping Xihe. Since the Xiongnu family has a large business and the distribution of major tribes is relatively concentrated, he and Lian did not have time to poke the hornet's nest, but
Karasuma is extremely scattered and does not have a unified command. It is just a slightly larger tribal alliance and company, so it doesn't take much care.
It's a pity that Xihe Wuwan's own strength is indeed not as good as that of Xianbei in the north and the Xiongnu around him. In previous years, he mostly relied on the nearby Hunszhonglang general rather than the Huwuwan captain who was far away in Ning County, Shanggu County, Youzhou. However,
Even if you throw it like this, you will inevitably get some damage from other
Due to harassment from the Karasuma tribe and other ethnic groups, in order to better protect the survival and reproduction of their tribe, the Xihe Karasuma people, who were originally horseback tribes, also began to learn the art of drilling into mountains, and they have achieved some success, at least with
Even after mobilizing the army, they could not be found.
After wasting two or three days in this way, under the persuasion of Ritsu Deyan and others, Helian had no choice but to give up this "hide and seek" game, and led hundreds of his own people to death while the other party was unscathed.
The "results" of the battle reluctantly continued southward and met the leader of the Jie clan Shi Kele and his soldiers who came to pay a visit near Gaolang County, which slightly boosted the originally sluggish morale.
Of course, so far, the Xianbei people's southbound regiment has been reduced from more than 50,000 people to about 40,000 people. Although this size is still enough to scare the Jie people who always seem restless, Helian has so far
There was absolutely no benefit gained from this battle, and even a lot of looks of distrust and resentment, which made the ambitious He Lian very angry.
Therefore, in order to vent the depressed mood of the past few days, Helian led his soldiers to break through Gaolang County, which was governed by local powerful powers, and looted it for three days. If it weren't for the bigger target of Lishi, it would have been calling.
If he said it, Helian would probably extend this date for a few more days. However, in order to attack Lishi City, we were able to save the lives of most of the people in the city.
At this point, including the 10,000-horse allied troops brought by the Jie people and the Han cannon fodder troops of about 10,000 people, the number of soldiers of the Xianbei Southward Regiment has returned to 60,000, but these 60,000 are weak both in terms of morale and centripetal force.
Everything is worth worrying about.
What happened in Gaolang County was also reported to Li Shushi by the scouts. Taking this opportunity, Cheng Yu once again publicized the "Xianbei terrorist threat theory" in the city. The behavior of the Xianbei people after they broke through the city and
The fact that Li Shushi had just defeated the Xianbei people naturally caused a wave of hatred in Lishi City.
The direct result of this kind of propaganda of "fighting Xianbei and defending the country" is that the thank-you documents that need to be signed and stamped by Li Shuyong to thank the people for their donations are neatly piled up in Li Shuyong's office.
Several cases. However, seeing the public's enthusiasm so high, Li Shushi rarely considered laziness.
Therefore, while the Xianbei people were killing as much as they wanted, the soldiers and civilians of Lishi City even had time to strengthen the city wall a little more, make the city defense equipment more abundant, and provide the army with more rations. At this point, Li Shushi had to sigh.
, no wonder the Han Dynasty entered an era when aristocratic families controlled political power, because these guys were so rich.
Although Li Shushi had already confirmed this theory when he took advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to loot, after all, he was a powerful man from the border area where Han and Hu people lived together. Although he was not as rich as the powerful people from the Central Plains in terms of wealth, he still had great war potential.
Win.
Apart from anything else, it is not known whether there is even one family or firm in the Central Plains region that can produce military rations within one county, but Li Shushi found two in this county. Of course, if the other party had not taken the initiative to come forward, Li Shushi would have also
Definitely not sure.
As for other war-related industries such as weapon manufacturing, armor manufacturing, special item manufacturing, etc., they all surfaced with this national war of resistance. Even Tong Yuan, who felt that he knew Lishi City well, was stunned by the result.
.
Okay, although I understand that Mr. Tong feels that you have been tricked and can’t hold your head up, you can’t just “cry” on me in front of your two close disciples and a lot of registered disciples. Hey, hey, the snot is really bad.
When it comes out, if you don’t want to be image-y, I will still talk nonsense.
Although the preparations for the war were very tense and hard, everyone was in a good mood. It seemed that Li Shushi's attack in the early stages of the war was quite effective, although it angered the Xianbei people and led to the Gaolang tragedy. However, considering that his jurisdiction has been unable to be extended
When there, the other party didn't seem to want to break the autonomous environment with his arrival, so he also had a resistance to it. Li Shushi didn't think that he had any obligations to the other party because he couldn't exercise power, although he was Xihe.
The governor of.
At the same time, Cao Ren and Wei Yue were also nervously preparing for war in Zhongyang and Pingzhou. Especially in Pingzhou County, where Wei Yue was located, as expected, due to the arrival of the Xianbei army, some people thought that Li Shushi, the prefect, even
The bandits, bandits and some small tribes of barbarians who had not escaped but had now withdrawn all their strength into Lishi City began to prepare for action.
Moreover, due to the special geographical environment of Pingzhou, there is a Luliang Mountain between Xihe Center and Shicheng, which manages itself, but it is a smooth road from Taiyuan County, which cannot manage itself. As a result, this place has become a very troublesome zone of no regard.
Although Guan Yu and Lu Bu successively sorted this place out, its unique geographical environment and political structure attracted countless guys who wanted to try their luck. Among them were many Baibo Huangjin who were broken up by Li Shushi last winter.
military.
It's a pity that although these cavalrymen under Wei Yue are really looked down upon by the barbarians in the grassland, and the gap is obvious, they can be regarded as magic soldiers when facing the Yellow Turban Army and a group of stragglers who suffered a huge defeat.
Falling from the sky, they are invincible. What's more, the leader of this army is not an idiot but the rather shrewd and experienced Wei Yue.
Therefore, compared to Cao Ren, who was preparing for war with peace of mind, Wei Yue had many more opportunities to move around during this period. At least the heads of the leaders of the new gangs that were camped here hanging on the city gate are enough to prove that Wei Yue
Excellent results.
Therefore, while Li Shushi and Cao Ren still had to bear the pressure from the Xianbei people, Wei Yue in Pingzhou County, a mountain away, could already leisurely chat with local scholars about knowledge and ask questions from local masters.
.
"Zi Chuan has really done a great job. It seems that the land in Yi County is worry-free on weekdays. We don't have to worry about it anymore."
The Xianbei people finally began to march towards Lishi City, but because they had to drive away more than 10,000 Han people as cannon fodder for the siege, the Xianbei cavalry had to move slowly, which was less than a day's march.
The uncooperation of the Han people made many Xianbei officers and soldiers and the Jie people who had been resentful of the Han people since last winter's defeat very dissatisfied, so beating and scolding was considered polite, and killing was commonplace. What's more, the tens of thousands of Xianbei soldiers were not Spartan.
three hundred
Small pants can find a way to solve physiological needs within the army. Most of the Han women in front of us are much more delicate than the rough-skinned and thick-skinned Xianbei women who are exposed to the wind and sun all day long and are exposed to the bright ultraviolet rays. The results are self-evident.
.
This also caused the Han people who originally hated the Xianbei people to completely riot - first a small-scale attack when the Xianbei people were not paying attention, and then developed into a large-scale riot. Although the Xianbei people were far superior to the Han people in class
, attributes and combat skills coupled with the existence of some informants, the resistance of the Han people did not even cause many casualties to the Xianbei people, but the marching speed of the entire army was once again slowed down.
As the weather gradually warms up, a new round of battle for grassland is about to begin. If the battle here is not ended quickly, no one can be sure whether the lush grassland in the north will be captured by other tribes. After all, the grassland peoples are not sure.
The competition for immediate interests is well known to everyone. Even he and Lian Guangsong couldn't resist the rebellion together with his subordinates.
In desperation, Helian had to issue a massacre order, killing all adult males and boys taller than a horse's legs, leaving only the women to propagate the tribe and train the children to become herders and even warriors who can be loyal to their tribe.
.
Of course, the remaining women and children could not be used to attack the city, so Helian left his cronies and troops to guard these "wealths" and finally allowed the troops to speed up. At the same time, he also ordered his nephew Chief Tou
Lead a partial division of Wanqi to attack Zhongyang County to see if there can be any unexpected gains.
However, the soldiers assigned to the leader by Helian were all the worst in the Xianbei army. Obviously, Helian's target was still focused on Lishi City. As for the harvest from other places, it was just a small portion after the big meal.
Desserts—it’s fun to have them, but it’s okay to have them all.
With the arrival of the Xianbei army, the Lishi offensive and defensive battle began, which determined the fate of Lishi, Xihe and even the entire grassland.
p.s. Second update...
p.s. It seems that the gastrointestinal tract is also looking for trouble. This is a rare recommendation. I am very reluctant...
