Chapter 660: Kill Hu Jun
By the autumn of this year, the confrontation pattern between Yang Feng and Murong Jun was basically determined.
The two divided Hebei.
The Yan army controlled the central and northern parts of Hebei with two points, Changshan and Yimu, because Wang Wu of Lukou could not be helped, and there was also the threat of Tuoba Shiyijian and the flank Duan niche behind him, the Yan army was unable to continue the southern invasion, especially after Murong Ke's death, Goguryeo and Fuyu in Liaodong were also ready to move, and Murong Jun could only take a defensive position to consolidate his territory.
And Yang Feng is also not interested in attacking.
After the Yan army broke the siege, he swept away the grass around Yecheng at a very fast speed, either by lure or coercion, and then quickly replenished his twelve guards.
Anyway, those wall grasses didn't dare to resist him, and one tried to resist, but he threw a 10,000-strong enemy with a counterweight trebuchet and surrendered very simply, so the number of Yang Feng's subjects quickly expanded to 400,000, and the common people were very simple these years, who could provide them with protection, who could provide them with a stable life, and give them relief before they starved to death without food, then this is their holy lord Mingjun. And Yang Feng obviously meets this standard, even more so after he used the immortal drunk to exchange rice from the south, what the common people want in the troubled times is actually to be able to eat and live, even if they survive, not to mention that Yang Feng gave them more things......
He was able to feed the old and the sick.
What a shocking kindness!
And the new subjects are also incorporated into the Twelve Guards, and the militarized management of all the people is a soldier, which is the most effective system in the troubled times, whether it is called a government soldier or a guard or even the Eight Banners, relying on these subjects Yang Feng quickly expanded the force to two cavalry brigades and four infantry brigades, and the other twelve guards belong to 50,000 reserves that can be called up at any time, and 100,000 reserves that can take up arms.
Including women.
Women are also included in the reserve, and they are required to undergo regular training every year, such as slashing people with knives and even operating female crossbows.
Don't underestimate female soldiers, in the decisive battle of the Arab Empire to destroy the Persian Empire, in order to make up for the gap in strength, the Arabs are to integrate women and children into the army, young men are responsible for fighting, women and children are responsible for cutting off people's heads and looting for loot so that men can kill people without distraction, it is precisely by relying on this desperate tactics of all soldiers and a family, men, women and children, that the Arab Empire finally won the decisive battle between them and the Persians. Yang Feng's goal is to cut off the heads of men and women when they go out in the future, at this time the Han people have not been harmed by the slave family, before the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, Li Yi, the captain of Nanyi and Ningzhou, was surrounded by Wu Lingyi and died, and his daughter Li Xiu, who was less than twenty, still led the Jin army to hold Ningzhou for three years, and finally waited for the reinforcements to relieve the siege, so the women of the Han people in this era also have a certain combat effectiveness.
Yang Feng, who had six brigades, stationed three of them in Xiangguo, that is, Xingtai, Guangping, that is, south of Jize, and Wuyang, which was Shenxian.
Keep a two-hundred-mile buffer zone in between.
And an infantry brigade in the south was stationed in Fangtou, and he led two cavalry brigades to garrison Yecheng, and finally formed a security zone in the south of Hebei with the Yellow River at its back, and there was Taihang Mountain on his other side, and there was no enemy in the west. Originally, in history, Lu Hu fled with his troops after the fall of Lukou, and then surrendered to Qianyan and was appointed as the Hanoi Taishou garrison in Yewangcheng, that is, Qinyang, and then the area was repopulated, which was simply reckless. In this era, many originally prosperous places have become no man's land, especially after Xie Shang attacked Xuchang for the second time, and Yang Qun, the former Qin general who stayed behind, withdrew to Guanzhong, not to mention Hanoi, even the Luoyang area on the other side has become a no man's land.
What's more, Yang Feng's garrison in Fangtou was enough to plug the gap in the southern front.
With the safe zone, the rest is simple.
Needless to say, agriculture is the case.
New farm tools, compost, water conservancy construction, farming technology reform, etc., all Yang Feng can think of to promote agricultural production, and even organized the common people to dig river mud as fertilizer, and even the dead bodies of those Yan soldiers were thrown into the compost by him to make manure......
This is also considered waste utilization.
Needless to say, infrastructure construction is also needed.
All the sand roads with Yecheng as the core were built, and the four-wheeled carriages transporting supplies could deliver supplies to the front line in two days.
The rest is industrial construction.
Handan's iron ore, although the grade of this iron ore is pitifully low, but just like in the time of broken leaves, women are organized to beneficiate, select the best ore, and then transport it to Yecheng and Tongque Garden, this garden occupies one-sixth of Yecheng, just for Yang Feng as a factory.
Then organize manpower to burn charcoal.
Although Handan actually has coal, but coal mining and transportation of coking require a lot of manpower, and there must be a certain amount of technical manpower, since this is the case, it is better to simply use the most convenient charcoal, and it can ensure the quality to the greatest extent, anyway, there are trees in the Tongque Garden, this is burned on the spot, and there are also Yecheng around the Tongque Garden, just after burning the trees and then open up the wasteland.
With iron ore and charcoal, all that remains is to set up an iron-smelting blast furnace to smelt pig iron.
Smelting raw iron is followed by smelting wrought iron.
Pig iron and wrought iron are made by the steel filling method to make high-quality weapons, Yang Feng's favorite Datang Mo knife was made first, and his infantry was equipped with a Mo knife team, plus hydraulic machinery to make cold forging armor, and his infantry was cold forged Mingguang armor, and it was also a large plate armor version.
Plate armor, Mo knife, god arm bow.
The new Hu Killing Army is completely on par with his Tang Anxi Army.
As for the cavalry, not to mention.
The mounted cavalry was expanded to 3,000 people, and all his elite cavalry were equipped, and the best war horses were selected for them. As for those ordinary light cavalry, it is also simple, just put on the chain plate armor directly, and then with bows, arrows, spears and horizontal knives, it is also very strong, in fact, Yang Feng lacks a cavalry brigade because of the lack of war horses, his goal is a heavy cavalry brigade and two light cavalry brigades, forming a combination similar to the Jin Army's Tiefutu and kidnapping horses, so next he is going to go to Goguryeo to buy horses by sea, because the Murong family is in the middle, he and Goguryeo can become allies.
And in the midst of Yang Feng's large-scale construction, the time soon came to the autumn of the second year, when the Northern Expedition of the Eastern Jin Dynasty failed......
Not defeated by the enemy.
Yin Hao's garrison Shouchun, and Yao Xiang, who had previously withdrawn to Liyang, had a tense relationship, Yin Hao simply forcibly moved Yao Xiang to the Liang State's Silverland, that is, the area of Suiyang, and secretly sent someone to assassinate Yao Xiang, and then the two sides had a fight, Yin Mingshi still couldn't kill Yao Xiang after all, and was defeated by Yao Xiang, and the elite was almost lost.
Yin Hao's Northern Expedition was a complete failure.
The only difference from the original history is that Yang Feng returned to Shun, plus the Duan Shrine that also returned to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in fact, at this time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty also recovered most of the lost territory in form.
"I said a long time ago, if you are not of my race, their hearts will be different, and you can't be merciful to Hulu, and you can't be coaxed by them, unless they put down their weapons, and Liuyi dares to call the scepter to behead, such Hulu is a good Hulu!"
Yang Feng said with a wine glass.
Obviously, Yao Xiang gave him enough theoretical basis.
After defeating Yin Hao, Yao Xiang even made Jiankang a rumor, Xie Shang led the army to Liyang to prevent Yao Xiang from going south to kill Jiankang, but Yao Xiang was obviously not interested, he defended himself to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and on the other hand, he developed northward, and currently occupies the Huai River in the area of Shaopi. This reincarnated Sun Ce has actually always been sad, he does not have the pride and domineering of his father Yao Yizhong, nor the insidious and cunning of his younger brother Yao Chang, he has wandered and wandered all his life, wandering and wandering with his Qiang people and people from Hebei to Huainan, and from Huainan to Henan. Originally, in history, he later occupied Xuchang and wanted to occupy Luoyang, but failed under the attack of Huan Wen and fled to Guanzhong, and was defeated by Former Qin and died on the battlefield, his younger brother Yao Chang led the rest of the troops to surrender to Former Qin, and after the Battle of Weishui, he made Fu Jian to establish Hou Qin and even killed Fu Jian, and lived until he was more than 60 years before dying of illness in his palace.
It can be seen that only bad people in this era are popular.
Compared with his brother, Yao Chang is a scumbag, but he is the founder of the country, and his brother has achieved nothing, and even Yao Chang himself was quite embarrassed later.
"Brother, why don't you send the army south to destroy this rebel Hu? The younger brother is willing to attach the soldiers of Xuzhou. ”
Xun Xian said.
He's sincere at this point.
Yin Hao's defeat is equivalent to the Sima family and the Jiangdong family losing to Huan Wen, and Huan Wen is planning to lead the army from Shangluo Dao to the north of the Guanzhong, together with his Liangzhou assassin Sima Xun to recapture Chang'an, once Huan Wen succeeds then the forces will include Jingxiang, Shu Han and Guanzhong, the Eastern Jin Dynasty is further weakened, when he wants to go down the river to Jiankang, how can the Jiangdong family group compete with him?
They can't even deal with Yao Xiang!
In this way, Yang Feng suddenly became precious, because he was not Huan Wen's gang, on the contrary, he had no connection with Huan Wen from beginning to end.
If Yang Feng's army goes south to destroy Yao Xiang, then he can threaten Huan Wen from the north, especially if Yang Feng occupies Xuchang, and even if necessary, he can go straight to Jingzhou, Huan Wen's base camp, and Sima Yu will be able to stand up in front of Huan Wen. In fact, they don't want to break with Huan Wen, the Eastern Jin Dynasty family has formed the rules of the game so far, fighting openly and secretly but not tearing the skin, tearing the skin is to fight the dead, these families don't want to shed blood, there is no need at all, even if Huan Wen usurped the throne, they are still the same family, and Huan Wen, who is the same as them, will dig their own graves if they dare to destroy them. Then they need a gun, or a cannon fodder, a cannon fodder who is not sorry to die, and if they succeeded, they overwhelmed Huan Wen and did not succeed......
If it doesn't work, Yang Feng will die!
"Then follow my brother's words!"
Yang Feng said.
"Brother is really willing to send troops?"
Xun Xian said in surprise.
"I couldn't see the rebellion rampant for a long time, and now I dare to openly rebel, how can I sit idly by and watch as a Jin minister, but this grain and grass has to be solved by the imperial court, and I don't have much food here."
Yang Feng said.
Wuhu extinguishes one is one.
At this time, in fact, there were still four Hu left, and the Liang people were basically wiped out by Ran Min, and even Shi Kun, the last remnant of the Shi family, tried to take refuge in the Eastern Jin Dynasty after the defeat, and was arrested by the Eastern Jin Dynasty and beheaded directly in Jiankang to show the public. The Xiongnu is also equivalent to the end, at this time the military forces belonging to the Xiongnu are only Liu Weichen outside the Saiwai, that is, Bo Bo his father, but they are accurate to say Tiefu, no one calls them the Huns, they are all called Tiefu Weichen, and the ones who are really active in the Central Plains are Xianbei, Di, and Qiang.
Yao Xiang is the leader of the Qiang people, and if Yao Xiang is killed, he will be considered to have destroyed this Hu.
Of course, the main thing is that Yao Xiang has a population under him.
Now what Yang Feng wants most is the population, although Yao Xiang is a group of Qiang people, but in fact, the vast majority of them are still Han, this guy is very charismatic, he belongs to the idol faction in this era, and even the common people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty have defected to him.
When he left Jinjin, he had a full 70,000 households under his command, and even if some of them were lost at this time, there were still 50,000 households, and if this group could be annexed, then Yang Feng could at least gain more than 200,000 people, and as for the Qiang people, he would not mind swallowing them if he could be obedient. In fact, the Qiang people belong to the lightest crime in the five Hu, and the sinicization is also the deepest, Yao's family Nan'an Qiang, the Eastern Han Dynasty has been attached, and the whole world was disrupted during the Yongjia Rebellion.
There's no need to kill them all.
But Yao Xiang and the Yao family must be destroyed, and their subjects can be annexed.
As for being a gunman for the Jiangdong family, this Yang Feng is not interested, he just went to rob people, and after robbing Yao Xiang's subordinates, it was a big deal to say that Murong Jun was doing something again, and then he could wave his sleeves and let Huan Wen attack Guanzhong boldly and with confidence.
No matter what Huan Wen is, as long as he is in the Northern Expedition, he is worthy of respect.
In short, under Xun Xian's persuasion, Yang Dudu finally showed his loyalty to the Jin family, and decided to fulfill his duties as a feudal official of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, sending troops to crusade against the Pingbei generals who dared to betray the imperial court, supervising the military of the state, and assassinating Shi Yao Xiang. Immediately afterwards, he personally led a cavalry brigade to the south, crossed the river into Henan at Fangtou, and received a large amount of grain specially sent by Yin Hao in Fangtou, and then continued along the Bianhe River, aiming directly at Yao Xiang's rear base Shansang, that is, Mengcheng, Anhui, at the same time, Yin Hao's generals Liu Qi and Wang Binzhi went north from Shouchun, and Beizhonglang sent Xun Xian from Xuzhou, and the three-way army surrounded Shansang.
As for Murong Jun, don't worry about it.
He still hasn't taken Lukou yet!
It's just that because of the infighting, at this time Lukou's guard became Lu Hu, he called himself King An, and he could see that he was also ambitious, I have to say that it was really a sad thing to attack the city in these years, a small Lukou City actually stuck Murong Jun for three years like a fish in his throat, and at this time he was already glad that he did not continue to attack Yecheng.
(My wife was hospitalized with a herniated lumbar disc, and I found that I am a tragedy now, and my father's herniated disc is not good yet, and now I add my wife, and my family has not come out of the New Year after the New Year, except for my daughter, the other five have all been sick.) )
