Chapter 252: Dead Heart

Hearing Zhao Kun's speech, Lou Yun and Liu Quan and the others were very happy, and everyone was happy to change their cups and drink.

At this time, the singing in the camp was endless, and the cavalry of the Fubiao battalion, who had been drinking in other yurts or big tents, were all learning to sing a cut plum, and the soldiers with singing talent were already catchy.

Liu Quan asked: "Lord Zhao, the tune sung by the brothers outside is really good, dare to ask if it is a new work of Lord Huang?" ”

Zhao Kun is also half a literati, he said proudly: "This song is when the teacher led the troops out of the customs, seeing the prairie frozen and snowy for thousands of miles, he blurted out with feelings, and it didn't take long for us to learn."

Liu Quan patted his ass and said: "Good words, good songs, good artistic conception, General Huang is really a talent!" ”

After all, Liu Zhilun was born as a scholar, and his henchmen are also somewhat educated, and they speak in a literate manner.

Lou Yun suddenly howled: "The snowflakes are fluttering, the north wind is Xiaoxiao, and the world is vast." He took a glass of wine and drank it down, and then said: "These winds and snows have directly caused half of the Jinyi Guards to be discouraged!" ”

Zhang Chao said with a smile: "Don't regret it, my lord, these brothers of ours are desperately following!" ”

Liu Hewen, who had a bit of alcohol, Zou Zou said: "It always blooms on the coldest branches, and there will always be people who give up the opportunity at the last moment, haha, this is the artistic conception of this song!" ”

……

After an hour and a half, more than 400 cavalrymen, who were full of wine and meat, finally settled into a warm yurt and slept comfortably......

The next day, the Jinyiwei and Fubiao Battalion, who were eager to make contributions and make a fortune, were impatient, and they actually gathered early for breakfast and went on the road in the dark without waiting for dawn.

Liu He knew that the head of the family was looking forward to it, so he sent a small flag man back to Daankou to report the victory.

The bad weather made it difficult for the "Red Banner Army" to move, which would affect the speed of the fleeing Karaqin people, and would also make the Houjin army who might come to help give up their actions.

Huang Han had Qingcheng to rely on, wine, meat, food and manpower, he was not in a hurry to retreat and still sent cavalry out every day to search for yurts.

Robbery is really the fastest way to make money, the original Karaqin Tatars were ruthlessly poor, but now it is very different, every time the cavalry raids a settlement, they will get gold and silver treasures, and get a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, without exception.

Now the blacksmith Shen Cunli has a new task, he organized 500 Tartar men and women and 500 Han people to kill sheep and skin, and 20,000 or 30,000 fat sheep were slaughtered every day.

The flock of sheep is the hope of the grassland peoples to live and reproduce, and the average Tartar may have more than fifty sheep.

The Han people don't need sheep to live, and they have to spend fodder to keep these live things, so it is the only way to kill all the live sheep and load them away.

Many of the sheep here are the healthiest and most robust breeds deliberately left by the herdsmen, but unfortunately the Han people don't understand this, and all of them have become mutton.

Without breeding sheep, the surviving herders want to start all over again, and I don't know how much cold and heat it will take?

This is very different from the resumption of production by Han farmers, who may be able to grow a bag of seed grain in one season to produce the grain before the destruction.

The herdsmen originally had 200 sheep in their homes, but even if they bought three or two sheep for seeding after they were looted, they would probably not be able to restore to their original level in three or five years.

Huang Han did not have a trace of sympathy for the old enemies of the Han people in the northern prairie, the Tartars could enter the pass and fight the grass valley, and the "Red Banner Army" could kill people and cut mutton on the prairie.

Aren't Tartars very good at running? It doesn't matter, the "Red Banner Army" no longer minds the light cavalry fleeing in the desert, and gave up the desperate pursuit in order to reduce casualties, and now everyone has achieved the next small tribe, and there will not even be a sheep or a bowl of grain left.

It's a pity that I don't know how long the Tartars, who have lost their homes, their clansmen, their cattle and sheep, can survive in this icy and snowy prairie?

On November 17, Huang Han, who had been stationed in Qingcheng for eight days, actually saw more than 400 horsemen led by Lou Yun, Liu Quan, and Liu He.

The knights of the "Red Banner Army" continued to loot the yurts, because casualties and attrition were inevitable due to daily battles of various sizes, and now there are less than 1,000.

There are still many areas that have not been searched nearby, and Huang Han thinks that he may not be able to complete the idea of pulling the net for 200 miles of Qingcheng before retreating.

Seeing the Jinyi Guards and the cavalry of the Fubiao Battalion, who were enthusiastic about robbery, Huang Han felt that there were more than 400 cavalry, and it was possible to complete the net.

On the same day, Lou Yun and Liu He were given the task, and they searched the east of Qingcheng under the leadership of the knights of the two general banners "Red Banner Army" who had accumulated some experience in finding the hidden places of the Tartars.

They were lucky, and they broke several small tribes one after another, and they had to win more than fifty levels, and the gold and silver treasures they obtained were close to five thousand taels in silver.

The casualties of the Jinyi Guard were not large, only one lieutenant was seriously wounded, three or four were lightly wounded, and the Fubiao battalion lost 17 casualties, three of whom were killed in battle.

At night, in the huge yurt that could accommodate more than 100 people built by the original Karaqintai Jibul Kadu, Lou Yun, who was roasting mutton and drinking mare's milk wine, was very intoxicated, and his Jinyi guards were also very happy.

Because Huang Han said that the Fubiao Battalion and the Jinyi Guard could distribute the gold and silver treasures as long as they seized them, and the two general banner brothers of the "Red Flag Army" did not participate in the distribution, and the "Red Banner Army" would laugh at the materials that could not be carried with them.

Lou Yun and Liu Quan settled the accounts, and it seemed that every Ming army who participated in the plundering could get gold and silver treasures worth one or twenty taels of silver, and of course they were happy.

It is impossible for them to divide the seized money equally, and they will keep some of it for the officers, and some of it will be left to go back to the officials, because after all, there are casualties, and I am afraid that life will not be easy in the future if they do not cover everything.

Moreover, Liu Quan and Liu He are Liu Zhilun's henchmen and generals, so of course they will keep at least thirty percent of the gold and silver treasures to bring to the head of the family.

Just when the cavalry of the Jinyi Guard and the Fubiao Battalion were celebrating, far away in the Forbidden City of the Beijing Division, after watching the Shuntian Patrol Governor Song Shu of Cheng Quan's behalf for Chen Zuo, Emperor Chongzhen felt that the corners of his eyes were moist.

He was so agitated that he couldn't calm down in the imperial study, so he stood up and walked around irritably.

The two great eunuchs, Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen, didn't know how to persuade His Majesty to be calm and not to be impatient, and they all stood quietly beside the dragon book case.

"The Shuntian Governor reported that Huang's guerrilla forces were insufficient, and he even took out half of the children.

Now that Liu Shilang is leading the Fubiao battalion to hold Da'ankou to ensure the retreat of the 'Red Banner Army', the key is that Huang Guerrilla's little bit of men and horses can still retreat? If the 'Red Banner Army' were to be wiped out, how much negative impact would this have? ”

Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Huang Guerrilla is not a reckless person, he is a member of the Confucian generals who are both wise and brave, and he will not make a deployment to die in vain, and he will definitely be able to return victorious." ”

Chongzhen shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, Huang Han once told Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian that the Han general Li Ling's entire army was defeated tactically, but it was strategically victorious, and since then, the Xiongnu have never dared to take the initiative to provoke the strong man." ”
