Chapter 6 Amu Raising Food
came and did not be rude, and Cheng also let it out from time to time. Zhuang Qingzhai was placed in court, and there was no way to use Lao Tzu to block the eyes.
Cheng glanced at Zhuang Qingzhai proudly from time to time, and stood there silent.
"Can the Prime Minister hear the words of the captain? The people's livelihood is always in charge of the prime minister, and the prime minister will talk about how to deal with it. Liu Che was so angry that his head smoked, and the Huns surrounded Ma Yi. But the prime minister and the lieutenant appointed by the Empress Dowager are still arguing here.
"Uh...... Minister...... The minister thought that he should do his best to order the evacuation of the villagers in the counties north of Taiyuan. For the Huns to come to a strong wall, the court can give a certain amount of grain to appease. The granaries of the imperial court in Taiyuan could also be opened to ensure the basic living needs of the refugees. ”
Zhuang Qingzhai is an old fritter in the end, and there are still two brushes in the court after decades. After a little thought, he kicked back the ball that Cheng threw over from time to time.
"I finally have an idea, the prime minister said that he wanted to fortify the wall and clear the wilderness and not give the Huns military funds. Now it's time for the lieutenant to talk about how to repel the enemy of Mayi. ”
"Your Majesty, the siege of Ma Yi is actually easy to solve. If the prime minister can really clear the wilderness, the 50,000 Xiongnu horses will have no military resources. Naturally, he couldn't stay under the city of Mayi for a long time, and his majesty could adjust the troops of Chang'an, Shandong, and Hebei to advance slowly, and fight steadily for the camp step by step. Then the enemy will not dare to plunder everywhere, and if the enemy army does not retreat. Our Han army can be encircled and annihilated the Hun army in one sentence. ”
From time to time, Cheng deserves to be in the army all his life, and Tian Wei categorically can't say such a thing. This statement sounds like a straightforward statement, and it is very operational.
Actually, everyone knows that. The best way to deal with cavalry is to use cavalry. But now that Yun Xiao is leaving, the entire Han army can't find a decent cavalry to come out. Only the most primitive infantry battle formation was restored to contend with the Huns, who sent 50,000 men. The Han had to mobilize more than 300,000 troops to respond.
"The Warrant Lieutenant played, from now on, the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty will be dispatched by the Captain. The soldiers and horses of the Four Kingdoms of Shandong and the Kingdom of Zhongshan were also controlled by Taiwei and retreated! ”
Liu Che stood up and walked down the Dan Fan as the ministers gave their salutes.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to use the traditional infantry battle formation to compete with the iron cavalry of the Huns?" In the Chengming Palace, Wei Qing's expression was very complicated.
"Wei Qing, don't be impatient. This is also a helpless move, you also know that because of Yunhou's departure. The Han no longer had a cavalry that could toughen the Huns. The feather forest you trained has not yet become an army. This period gate feather forest is not as good as the previous one. You are trained by the Yun family. I don't want you to go to war against the Huns before you have practiced, if there is anything missing! I ......"
In fact, Liu Che still has a layer of meaning that he didn't say, that is, if something happens to this period gate Yulin. He will no longer have a military force of his own, which is intolerable for an emperor.
"陛xià. Although the training time of the period gate feather forest is not long. But they are all the most elite cavalry of the Han Dynasty. Yunhou has a saying that is particularly good. Good generals and good soldiers are made. If the period door Yulin only stays at home. So how can the combat power be improved.
He also invited His Majesty's ministers to send his ministers to lead Yulin to Mayi to fight with the Huns. ”
"This ......" Liu Che was also very hesitant, and he was really reluctant to let Qimen Yulin fight. The last time Menyulin was almost wiped out. He still has lingering palpitations. But Wei Qing's words seem to have some truth, the reason why Yunhou's team can fight. It's entirely because these soldiers are all the remnants of a hundred battles, and they are rolling in blood and fire.
I heard that there are also a group of such people, namely Mohou, when will there be a group of such people under his command, how good it would be!
Liu Che gritted his teeth and made a decision after thinking about it for a while.
"Yes, I'll do as you asked. But you must remember that this team is the only force in my hands. You...... You'd better not ......"
"The minister understands, and the minister will bring them all back as much as possible." Wei Qing immediately understood what Liu Che meant, as an emperor, he also had his difficulties.
As the most powerful man in this empire, he cannot have a powerful army in his hands. This has always been the deepest pain in Liu Che's heart, precisely because he does not grasp military power. That's why he was suppressed and constrained by the Empress Dowager in everything, and even the imperial power was sidelined.
That's why he asked Wei Qing to pick out a thousand feathers and pay a lot of money to buy horses for them. He also asked Wei Qing to focus on training, so that he could master a powerful army in his hands in the future.
"There you go! The soldiers are in danger, you have to be careful in everything, and you can't go alone. Go see your sister, she's about to give birth. ”
"Thank you!" Wei Qing gave Liu Che a deep salute and withdrew.
This year's winter was particularly late, and in mid-February, the Yellow River still showed no signs of thawing. Amu stands on the bank of the Yellow River, the frozen Yellow River reflecting the dazzling sunlight like a milky way. Amu squinted his eyes and looked at the village in the distance.
It's been two days since I came out, and I haven't found a single grain of grain. The Han people ran into the city, and when they left, they took away the cattle and sheep, and took away the grain, so that the army had nothing to eat. Da Dan Yu had no choice but to send people out to raise food.
But where is the food so easy to raise, and now Amu's team is about to run out. If there is no more food in the village in front of him, then he will have to take the risk to attack that small county town.
This is a typical Han village, and most of the buildings are thatched houses. There were two adobe houses from time to time, and the whole village was eerily quiet. Looking at this situation, Amu knew that today might be in vain again. This village must be the same as before, not even a single ghost.
The Huns rushed into the village to search, and the results were as they had guessed. Not a single firewood was left in the entire village, let alone food.
Annoyed, Amu kicked and smashed the door of a farmhouse, and suddenly his guard Qi Lie ran over like crazy. I didn't even breathe, and I couldn't speak with my mouth open and pointing into the distance.
When Amu saw him, he was also very nervous, thinking that the Han army was coming. Hurriedly stepping on the wall, he climbed onto the roof of an adobe house.
Sure enough, a group of Han troops came in the distance, about five or six hundred people. Amu's eyes suddenly lit up, because the team of five or six hundred people pulled nearly a hundred carts.
"It's the Han people's grain transportation team, it's the Han people's grain transportation team." Amu shouted excitedly, he had seen this kind of cart many times in the Hetao. Each cart can pull nearly 1,000 catties of grain, and the grain of these nearly 100 carts is enough for the Hun army to eat for a few days.
Amu jumped off the roof in excitement, and his feet were numb from the cold as if they were pricked by pins. But Amu didn't care about this, and hurriedly beckoned his men to get on the horse. The team was about five miles from the village, and rushed out and killed them all.
When the excited Hun men heard that there was food, they all seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood. Scrambled to climb on horseback, and rushed towards the Han army like a whirlwind without even cleaning up the team.
In fact, the Han army near Mayi had already received orders to suspend the transportation of grain. But Amu had gone too far with the team, and their current location was already a hundred miles away from Ma Yi. This Han army also thought that it was already far away from Mayi, and the nearby Shuo County was in urgent need of grain, so they transported more than 100 truckloads of grain from the Taiyuan warehouse. Who would have thought that he would meet the Huns here.
A thousand Hun cavalry rushed towards the escorted Han soldiers like a whirlwind. It was too fast, and many Han troops had already arrived in front of them without even pulling their crossbows.
One by one, the wolf's fangs shot at the body of the Han army, and the "poof" sound of the wolf's fangs passing through the felt cloth clothes came and went. The Huns rushed forward with a roar, waving their blades like wolves to bite their opponents.
The Han army was stunned by such a sudden rush out of the Hun cavalry, they never thought that the Huns would have the courage to run more than a hundred miles away from Mayi. You must know that the Han army from Chang'an, Hebei, and Shandong is encircling Mayi. I heard that the army from Chang'an is still the emperor's pro-army, and the forward is only a hundred miles away from here.
The unprepared Han army fell in a pool of blood, and some of those who tried to escape were also driven out by the Hun cavalry chasing behind them. The battle went on very quickly, and the team led by Amu had fought such battles many times in the Hetao. They were very familiar with the sneak attack on this unprepared Han army.
Most of the Han army were killed after only one cup of tea, and only a few guys escaped lying on the cart carrying grain.
The team was hiding on the grain cart and hit someone, when suddenly he felt a large hand on his neck. Then he was thrown off the grain cart, and the hard ground smashed him. There was also blood on his face, and the felt cloth clothes on his body were also stained with blood.
"Cowardice, pretending to be dead. How can a dead person still pee, how can he eat his mother's urine and food. Qi Lie jumped out of the grain cart and drew his knife, and was about to greet the team.
"Stop!" A break interrupted Qi Lie's killing.
"Lord Qianqi, this Han people are very cowardly. Besides, Da Dan Yu didn't let the slaves be plundered, so I think it would be easier to kill them. Qi Lie saw that the person who stopped drinking was Amu, so he had to put down the knife in his hand.
"You know the, we haven't seen a single person in the wild for so many days. Don't you want to know, why this Han army appeared in the wild? ”
"Uh...... This one! Qi Lie's mind wouldn't turn, and what Amu said was a bit complicated for him.
"Where are you going to deliver food?" Amu asked about this team, his Chinese was very non-standard, and the syllables of the characters were not right. After saying it twice, the team just understood.
"This is the military rations sent to Shuo County, because you attacked, the villages near Shuo County have poured into the county seat. When the countryside was cleared, the imperial court promised to provide food. Those bankers wanted to save trouble, and also to take advantage of some of the imperial court. They all buried the grain and entered the county seat empty-handed. Now that the granary in Shuo County has bottomed out, it has to take the risk of transporting grain. (To be continued......)
