Chapter 81: Forcing the People to Die

Approaching March, the spring breeze blows through the grass to recover, and the entire Zhongshan country seems to come back to life. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhen Jiang's jujube red horse has grown up a little more, and now if he wants to walk the horse, he can't run the horsepower of the pony by relying on Zhen Jiang's hunting needs. The old warrior who served the Zhen clan once pressed the pony's shoulder and said that if it were someone else, the pony would now be able to serve as a fine war horse for the samurai to drive.

But Zhen Jiang didn't want her jujube red horse to be a war horse.

It's just that when the old warrior surnamed Zhen pressed his palm on the shoulder of the little red horse, she was reminded of a year ago, the madman who rampaged Jizhou with his Wei Mo body also pressed her horse's shoulder with the rough palm of his weapon and said, This is a good horse.

The peach blossoms in the yard are budding, and the blue buds will bloom into beautiful red and white petals in a few days...... Today she rode through Zhen's ridges, and those mulberry trees were similar to peach trees, and they should bloom in a month.

Zhen Jiang looked at the leaves on the mulberry tree and thought, if she told others last autumn that Mo Shanghua would come back when the flowers bloomed, then she should have set off by now.

But the people she was waiting for didn't, and there was no news of that rebel everywhere in the world.

Last year, near winter, she received a letter from the Great Wall Pass, in which Yanbei said that he would come back this winter, and when the mulberry trees on Mo bloomed and he learned to ride and shoot, he would invite her to shoot together.

The day when the flowers bloom on Mo is the 'Shangji Festival', also known as repairing and plucking, and it is a good day to go out and play.

She doesn't think Yanbei is lying, and she doesn't think Yanbei will forget her promise.

My brother said that although Yanbei was born humble and savage, he made a promise and his deeds would be fruitful...... Besides, where would anyone send a letter thousands of miles away just to deceive someone?

But she couldn't say it, and later before the snow in winter, she secretly ordered someone to reply to Yanbei, the letter was very short, and she only agreed to Yanbei's invitation to shoot hunting in the coming year. But her letter still failed to reach Yanbei's hands, not because the messenger who sent the letter was not serious enough, on the contrary, the messenger sent back enough news to shock Zhen's family...... In the autumn of last year, Yanbei drove 20,000 soldiers and horses north to Xianbei.

Since then, no one in the world has known about Yanbei.

Zhen Jiang once eavesdropped on the conversation between his brother and his friends, and he also had endless regrets when he talked about Yanbei...... People speculate that the young man who dominated Jizhou like a flash in the pan was still afraid of the news of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's defeat, and led the soldiers and horses to flee to the foreign place to find a way to live.

At the same time, Zhen Jiang knew that his brother was not optimistic about Yanbei's future. The elder brother's original words were: "The land of Xianbei is barren for thousands of miles, the grass and food are barbaric, or hunger, or sickness, life and death are unknown!" ”

But Zhen Jiang felt that her brother, who had always been wise, might have really guessed wrong this time, because she didn't think that Yanbei was running away. This is not because Zhen Jiang has any special opinion of Yanbei, although in her heart Yanbei is very brave, and has the courage of an ancient ranger who sees death as home...... But where is anyone going to ask themselves if they want to go on a safari with him next year before they run away?

Zhen Jiang thought that maybe Yan Bei was too stupid and hid in a place where no one could find him to practice archery, but he hadn't learned it well until now, so he didn't dare to come back, right?

She really wanted to say that if you're too stupid, it doesn't matter, you come to me, I'll teach you!

Zhen Jiang thought like this, put the little red horse back in the stable, and returned to the boudoir to carry the bow and arrow to practice archery, but somehow his eyes were on the female red who had not moved for several months.

Anyway, there is still time, there is still a period of time before the festival, the peach blossoms have not yet bloomed, and the mulberry trees have not yet bloomed.

Embroider a pair of birds, my brother said that girls can only marry if they learn to be popular.

Everything I think about today is related to Yanbei, but only the matter of marrying someone must have nothing to do with him, and it will not have anything to do with anyone.

Zhen Jiang thought like this, sat upright next to a few cases, and picked up the needle and thread with a little clumsiness.

……

Youzhou, Guanzi City in Western Liaoning.

This is more than 100 days since Gongsun Chan was besieged, and the whole winter has passed, and Qiu Liju, the lord of Wuhuan, finally couldn't bear it anymore and ordered his subordinates to storm Guanzi City.

Guanzi City is not a male city, the city is only four feet high, the surrounding is only seven miles square, in the final analysis, it is like thousands of small cities in the Han Dynasty, if nothing major happened here, people will not even remember that there was such a city here after thousands of years.

But even if it is not a heroic city, it is still a solid ground that cannot be broken by manpower.

All winter, Qiu Liju was preparing for this siege, and none of his subordinates would make siege weapons, but Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's subordinates would. They took advantage of the winter to cut down trees and make simple ladders and rams, so that they could break through the pipe city defended by Gongsun Chan in the spring, and kill all Gongsun Chan's subordinates.

Because after the spring they never had a chance again.

As soon as the snow road thaws, Gongsun Zhan's cavalry will immediately come in handy. The battle a few years ago has fully proved that no matter whether it is the Han people under Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's subordinates or the Wuhuan people under Qiu Liju and Su Fuyan, the field battle is not Gongsun Zhan's opponent.

Second, after the road thawed, the soldiers and horses led by Meng Yi, the general of the Han Dynasty, could gallop to this side to help Gongsun Zan in the shortest possible time.

Thirdly, and last but not least, their army of more than 20,000 was left without food. Now every Wuhuan person regrets it incomparably, last year I didn't find out how many people there were in Gongsun Zhan, no one could have imagined that Gongsun Zhan, who only had 3,000 cavalry, would pursue them so fiercely for thousands of miles, killing them so that they lost their armor and threw away all the baggage and military rations, and dozens of truckloads of hundreds of truckloads of food and goods were thrown on the side of the road like garbage, waiting for others to pick them up.

Without food, they continued to besiege Guanzi City, which was pointless except to wait for death.

They knew this very well in the winter, but at that time, Qiu Liju, who was in command of the army, still had a little expectation in his heart, and he wanted to compare with Gongsun Chan to see who would run out of food first...... It dragged on until spring.

It seems that Gongsun Chan won, although he doesn't know what Gongsun Chan is eating, but his Wuhuan army is indeed out of food, and now he turns around and leaves, and the food is not even enough to run back to the subject country of Liaodong.

So Qiu Liju has no other ideas, he has been driven to a dead end, and he must fight a battle, and fight a siege battle with Gongsun Zan on the city pass. If you win, everyone is happy, but you lose...... Die a few people, and his food will allow him to bring the rest of his men home.

"Order, the whole army will be pressed by the four cities, mainly attack the east gate, and start the siege!"

With the shouts of the Wuhuan leader with a full face of steel beard, thousands of Wuhuan warriors in armor and carrying huge logs from the four gates began to attack Guanzi City.

In the Wuhuan war song roaring in the sky, thousands of arrows flew from the city to the city, covering the sky and the sun. Although most of these low-quality bronze arrow clusters could not be nailed to the only battlements made of bluestone on the rammed earth walls, and most of the arrow clusters made a crisp snapping sound when they hit the battlements, that was when they were shot at the bluestone.

With the sound of 'fluttering', the single-clothed defenders above the city fell in the blink of an eye as the rain of arrows fell.

Screams, cries, and roars rang out everywhere in the city, and the defenders of the city did not have the slightest will to fight, and in the blink of an eye, countless defenders threw down their broken weapons and were about to run down the city.

"Ahh I'm not fighting, I'm not fighting, I'm going to ......"

The sound of the peasant-like defenders came to an abrupt end as they hurried up the steps of the city!

A sharp iron spear pierced his chest, and on the stairs that stretched two feet long, stood hundreds of fierce warriors covered in iron armor or large armor, among which nearly a hundred were dressed in white armor, which was particularly distinctive.

White Horse Righteousness!

This legendary army that followed Gongsun Zhan's achievements, at this moment received only one order, stick to the city, as a supervising team, they must strictly defend the temporarily formed defenders in the city, and anyone who dares to retreat will be killed immediately!

Gongsun Chan had no choice, his strength was seriously insufficient compared to the rebels besieging the city, and he had to gather the strong men of the people in the city and force them to defend the city with sharp weapons.

The 3,000 cavalry under his command are all elite soldiers who have followed him for several years, and his subordinates who are proficient in cavalry warfare on tall horses can be defeated with one enemy and three without defeat, and they must not die in such a place!

This is the road of struggle between him and his white horse followers. Gongsun Zhan knew very well that he had made enough feats, leaving behind Meng Yi, the Zhonglang general sent by the imperial court, and defeating hundreds of thousands of Wuhuan people with only 3,000 cavalry, which was enough for him to be crowned a marquis after the war!

When the time comes, his subordinates, his brothers, all of them will have a good background!

What an opportunity for him! As long as his Gongsun Chan can quell the chaos, the court will think that with his Gongsun Chan's prestige in the future, it will be enough to protect Youzhou!

Originally, he didn't have to be so anxious for quick success, even if he didn't get all the credit for this crusade against the rebels, the exploits that belonged to his Gongsun Chan would not be able to run. However, at this time, the imperial court sent Liu Yu, a highly respected Han clan member in Dongzhou...... That old thing didn't do anything, just lightly sent someone to pass a letter to those Wuhuan people, saying that he would only punish the evil head, and forgive the rest.

Gongsun Chan even doubted whether Liu Yu understood what war was!

However, in Gongsun Zhan's opinion, this kind of idiot approach to home would be so useful, since those Wuhuan people received Liu Yu's letter, they had no will to fight, and only wanted to return to Liaodong quickly.

Can Gongsun Chan let them retreat? They retreated, how can Gongsun Zhan repay the blood of his robe for this war? Or even about his exploits? His grandson Zhan's exploits of riding horses to defeat the enemy for thousands of miles, can the imperial court still see it?

The idiots in the imperial court will only see the benevolence of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, and will only be pleased that they have picked the right person, your Gongsun Zan is the capital governor and overseer, but he can't resist the Wuhuan more than 100,000 chaotic army scourge Youji, Qingxu and Sizhou, but as soon as Liu Yu arrived, first the rebel general Yanbei who was rampant in Jizhou fled to the outside of the Saiwai, and then Zhang Ju Zhang Chun disappeared.

There is no rebellion, which is a good thing for the world. But there is no judgment, where does Gongsun Chan have meritorious deeds?

This is a big bad thing for Gongsun Zhan!
