Volume 3 Chapter 107 Follow-up
In the battle of Xisai Mountain, Gongsun Yuan's 30,000 horses suffered great losses under the city fortress, plus some non-combat attrition, and finally there were more than 20,000 points left. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info In other words, the losses of these 30,000 Liaodong elites under the First World War exceeded 30%.
With the timely blockade of Murong Ziying and the arrival of Gan Ning's follow-up main force, Lu Ren's Yizhou army actually reached a three-way encirclement of Gongsun Yuan's 30,000 people, followed by a large-scale, organized surrender of more than 20,000 people. Don't be surprised, this kind of thing happens from time to time in any era, not to mention far away, take the battle of Guandu in the original history as an example, Yuan Shao had more than 100,000 men and horses when he raised his army, but in the end there were as many as 70,000 or 80,000 people who surrendered. Once the army has no will to fight, what can it do if there are more people?
As for Gongsun Yuan himself, under Lu Ren's secret instructions, he asked him to bring some cronies and followers to flee back to Liaodong from the North Road, because as far as the current situation is concerned, Lu Ren needs this powerful figure in Liaodong to escape back to Liaodong to preside over the overall situation.
In addition to the previous analysis, Lu Ren mainly considered that if Gongsun Yuan died at this time, the relatively cowardly Gongsun Gong was likely to take advantage of the situation to ask Lu Ren for peace and surrender. Anyway, if Gongsun Yuan dies, Gongsun Gong can return the things that Gongsun Yuan "hacked" to Lu Ren, and then give Lu Ren a smile and pay some money and food, and then put all the fault on Gongsun Yuan......
Oh yes, the disaster was originally caused by Gongsun Yuan. But if this really develops into this situation, it will not be very good for Lu Ren to continue to maintain a fighting posture with Liaodong at the political level. And without this combat situation in a state of stalemate, it is very likely to affect the arrangement of whether Lao Cao will send troops to fight Hanzhong. You must know that the end of the first battle of Xisaishan was only the beginning of February of the twentieth year of Jian'an, and the soldiers and horses assembled by Lao Cao had not set off for a long time, and they could be transferred back at any time to look at Liaoxi again, which was not a good thing for Lu Ren's plan to seek Liucheng.
In a word, the current Lu Ren is sure that he can take Liucheng, but it will take at least a few months to stabilize his heel, and in this time period of stabilizing his foothold, Lao Cao's main force had better go to Hanzhong, otherwise Lu Ren's move to take Liucheng is just to make a wedding dress for Lao Cao.
Well, these have been said many times, so I won't talk about it anymore. It is only said that after the battle of Xisai Mountain, the army led by Deng Ai lost more than 2,000 people, and excluding the 2,000 musketeers who had been staying with Gan Ning, Deng Ai now only has more than 6,000 troops on hand, and they are all staying in Xisai Mountain to build a defense system.
Don't underestimate this place, to the east it can cut off the connection between the Liaodong Peninsula and the Liaoxi region, this goes without saying, and to the west, once Lu Ren's situation in the Liaoxi region is lost, Xisai Mountain can also block the soldiers and horses from the Liaoxi side from entering the Liaodong Peninsula, which will help Lu Ren control Liaodong at that time.
Ganning's troops re-embarked after completing the Battle of Mount Cice, and returned to their previous location to stand by. Gan Ning's troops were mainly 15,000 navy and 2,000 musketeers transferred from Deng Ai, and when urgently reinforcing Xisai Mountain, Gan Ning only left 5,000 navy to blare along the coast of the Liaodong Peninsula, and the other 12,000 people also left 5,000 people, including 2,000 musketeers, to help Lu Lingqi stabilize the situation in Chrysanthemum Harbor, and then 7,000 navy to encircle Gongsun Yuan in the form of infantry. After the battle was over, after Murong Ziying's 7,000 cavalry returned to Chrysanthemum Harbor, these main forces of Gan Ning naturally had to hurry back to the ship, because Lu Ren might launch a combat operation against the Liaodong Peninsula at any time.
When Murong Ziying's 7,000 cavalry returned to Chrysanthemum Harbor, the time had already entered February, the spring snow had begun to melt gradually, and the nearly 40,000 Xianbei tribes left behind by Budugen were already preparing to return to the grassland. These people can't force them to stay in Chrysanthemum Harbor, even if they want to be attached to them, they have to let them go back to the grassland first, and let them take all the tribesmen over. The cavalry led by Murong Ziying rushed back in time, also to ensure that there were no public security problems in these matters.
Then Lu Ren got more than 20,000 Liaodong prisoners, and Lu Ren, who had more than 20,000 prisoners, did not return to Liaodong, but ordered the fleet to go all out and send more than 20,000 Liaodong prisoners to Yizhou.
This was absolutely incomprehensible at the time. Generally speaking, there are three main ways to deal with this number of prisoners, one is to collect, the second is to return, and the third is to ...... Slaughter.
Lu Ren's attitude towards the 20,000 prisoners is a bit of an incorporation, but it is not a real incorporation, but a large amount of ship carrying capacity is transferred to Yizhou as a coolie, and this is where people don't understand. In fact, it is common to use a large number of prisoners as slaves, but it costs a lot of ship carrying capacity and related provisions, and it is a thousand miles of sea transshipment, which seems to be a little worthless in the eyes of many people, after all, walking hundreds of miles by land and walking thousands of miles by sea are two different things, and the cost in the middle is also a difference of 108,000 miles.
So in the eyes of many people, Lu Ren spent so much effort and cost to send these 20,000 people to Yizhou, it is better to put them back in Liaodong. It's really not good, it's nothing to kill these 20,000 people directly! Moreover, according to the thinking of some people at that time, these 20,000 prisoners were originally the elite soldiers of Liaodong, and they were also the strongest male laborers in Liaodong. Bai Qikeng killed 400,000 young Zhuang of Zhao State, and Lao Cao killed 80,000 prisoners of Hebei in Guandu, isn't this kind of calculation? In those days, the death of a large number of young and strong laborers was a great loss to a force.
And when someone whispered these words to Lu Ren, Lu Ren just replied with a faint smile: "If it's not necessary, why should I kill so many people?" Besides, is 20,000 prisoners really a lot? Don't forget that when our Yizhou absorbed the most displaced people, more people than this were contained, and now it is only considered to have contained another 20,000 displaced people. ”
The person who said those words to Lu Ren had to remind Lu Ren again that this was 20,000 Liaodong prisoners, not 20,000 exiles, and there was a big difference in nature. The displaced people are uprooted from their hometowns and come to Yizhou with their families to beg for a living, so that they can govern it, but the 20,000 prisoners from Liaodong were forced to come to Yizhou, and their relatives and families are still in Liaodong.
Lu Ren still only smiled at this, and let the person who spoke retreat first. After the man retreated, Lu Ren just raised his head and looked at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, and whispered to himself: "Although you are right, your vision is still a little shorter after all. Maybe you don't understand how much these 20,000 people will help me in my quest for Liaodong in the future. But before that......"
Speaking of this, Lu Ren sighed softly, and his brows furrowed: "Xun Yun's fleet has already landed, right?" I'm going to have to bang those two little bastards first! ”
————————————————————
Keelung, Lu Ren's Xingyuan Fudi.
"You two bastards, get down on my knees!!"
With Lu Ren's angry shout, Lu Feng and Lu Yu snorted twice, and knelt in front of Lu Ren in unison, not even daring to let out the atmosphere. Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were like this, Lu Ren didn't say much, but took out a sandalwood incense from the incense box on the table, lit it in the lamp, inserted it into the incense burner, and put it in front of the two brothers and sisters.
The two brothers and sisters looked at the sandalwood that was the thickness of bamboo chopsticks and more than a foot long in the incense burner, and secretly complained in their hearts. The sandalwood produced in Yizhou burns very slowly, and this sandalwood may not be burned in an hour, in other words, the two siblings have to kneel here for at least an hour.
After sneaking into eye contact for a while, Lu Yu finally lost to Lu Feng, and then cautiously used the little girl's pitiful voice to ask Lu Ren for mercy: "Father is angry!" Child, child knows wrong......"
"Mistaken!?"
Lu Ren didn't get angry again at this time, but his eyebrows were still locked tightly: "Knowing the son is Mo Ruo's father!" Although I am always very busy and discipline you a little little, it doesn't mean that I don't know the human nature of your two brothers and sisters! Knowing what to do? I am afraid that the mistakes you think you have made are not at all the same as the mistakes I think! ”
These words made Lu Feng and Lu Yu look at each other, and they were very puzzled in their hearts. Looking at his own Lao Tzu having such a big temper, he didn't dare to say anything more at this time. peeked at Cai Yan, and saw that Cai Yan also turned his head ruthlessly and didn't look at the two children, so it was obviously unrealistic to expect Cai Yan to intercede, so Lu Feng and Lu Yu could only kneel there with their heads down and not say a word. As for Lu Ren, at this time, he paced back and forth in the hall with his arms folded a few times before sighing, and turned around and sat in the chair.
The hall fell silent. After a long time, Diao Chan and Zhen Mi suddenly led Xun Yu and Liu Ye to the hall. Lu Ren looked at the expressions of Minchan and Zhen Mi, and knew that Xun Yu and Liu Ye's so-called visit, in fact, Diao Chan and Zhen Mi secretly invited these two to intercede with Lu Feng and Lu Yu, and they could only shake their heads secretly in their hearts. By the way, Mi Zhen is busy in Luzon at this time, otherwise she will definitely have Mi Zhen's share in the matter of asking someone to intercede.
After the polite words, Xun Yu looked at Lu Feng and Lu Yu who were still kneeling in the hall, and finally spoke: "Yihao, although Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu are at fault, they led the army to aid Shizai in time after judging the situation, and conspired with Shizai to lure Gongsun Yuan to Xisai Mountain, so that we can annihilate the 30,000 elites in Liaodong in one fell swoop, and the merit is far greater than the excesses." It is inconvenient for them to be rewarded as your children, but they should not be punished like this, so I hope that Yihao can look at the old man's thin face and avoid the punishment of this law. ”
Xun Yu opened his mouth, and others were easy to speak. After talking for a while, Lu Ren finally found an opportunity to wave his hand to a few people and said, "I think everyone has misunderstood, and Feng'er and Yu'er have also misunderstood my intention to punish them." ”
Everyone was stunned, if Lu Ren didn't punish Lu Feng and Lu Yu for privately bringing troops to support Deng Ai, then what was Lu Ren punishing?
Lu Ren sighed again in the puzzled gaze of everyone, and motioned for the two brothers and sisters to kneel on the floor, but still did not allow them to get up, and then shook his head at everyone and said, "For me, it is not a fault that they brought troops to reinforce the soldiers. In fact, I am actually a little relieved that they were able to act at the right time. But! ”
Everyone became more and more puzzled, and the two brothers and sisters vaguely understood something, but they didn't know much either, so they could only look at Lu Ren with blank eyes, and their ears were stretched out, waiting for Lu Ren's explanation.
Lu Ren glared at the two brothers and sisters again at this time, and then shook his head again and said to the two brothers and sisters: "Now tell me yourself, what kind of mentality did you have when you led the troops to reinforce Shizai?" ”
The two brothers and sisters glanced at each other, and then Lu Feng spoke: "Of course it's worrying......"
"Worry about it! You shut up! ”
Lu Ren roared angrily and interrupted Lu Feng's words: "Don't say those high-sounding and beautiful words in front of me!" I don't deny that both of you brothers and sisters are very smart, much smarter than you and me were when I was your age! But I want to tell you, you Lao Tzu and I came from your age, what are you two boys thinking in your hearts, you Lao Tzu and I are very clear! You two rich second generations and second generation officials have never suffered at all, and you are not worried about anything or thinking of the overall situation when you do this, so your thoughts, the first is to think it is fun, and the second is to show off in front of others! ”
“……!!!”
As soon as Lu Ren's words came out, everyone present was dumbfounded. Coming to the North to fight for fun and show? How can a father scold his children like this? And he scolded him in front of others!
Looking at Lu Feng and Lu Yu again, after listening to Lu Ren's reprimand, he originally wanted to defend Lu Ren a few words, but when he saw Lu Ren's eyes with twelve points of anger, the words of defense that had just sprung up to his mouth were swallowed back into his stomach.
Lu Quan looked at the expressions of the two brothers and sisters, sighed and shook his head again: "Don't be unconvinced, I, the father, definitely don't blame you, it's just that you haven't figured it out for a while." Well, I'll give you a heads-up so that you don't have to figure it out all the time. You two brothers and sisters will not read a lot of books, and you should understand that people in the world come and go and run around for a lifetime, nothing more than for fame and fortune. Then I'll ask you now, did you rush to Xisai Mountain with Changqian, is it for fame or profit? ”
"Uh, this ......"
The two brothers and sisters were stuck on the spot, and the others were all confused. Just like Lu Ren said, saying that the two brothers and sisters want to be famous in the world, it doesn't feel very similar; Let's say that the two brothers and sisters want to profit...... At present, which candidate in the world dares to have more money than Lu Ren? As Lu Ren's eldest son and eldest daughter, the two brothers and sisters said something ugly, did they want anything? This is something that the other children of the candidates dare not think of, and they don't even know how many children of the candidates are envious. Not to mention anything else, just the many rare things in Yizhou, many of the children of the candidates can't get them.
Lu Yu's big eyes turned a few times at this time and wanted to speak, but Lu Feng on the side hurriedly pulled the corner of Lu Yu's clothes and whispered: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, listen to my father!" My father has a point, and I've figured it out a little bit. ”
Lu Yu looked at Lu Feng in surprise, but soon, Lu Yu, who was smart about Bingxue, also understood, and then nodded lightly. In fact, don't look at the two brothers and sisters when they are together, it is always as if Lu Yu is in the limelight, but the real big ideas and main thinking are all Lu Feng in charge. As for Lu Yu who is usually in the limelight, the main reason is that Lu Feng has been "poisoned" by Lu Ren, and he will always let his baby sister a little in general things. However, on matters of principle, Lu Feng will not give in half a step.
Lu Feng looked at the two brothers and sisters, nodded lightly and said, "It seems that you guys seem to have figured it out." In the art of war, it is said that 'the Lord shall not raise up his army out of anger, and he shall not engage in war out of anger', although you are not angry and angry, but just because of your personal preferences and pleasures, you will make the same mistakes. I still say the same thing, you are the second generation of officials, the second generation of rich, and you live a better life than others, which is nothing to say, but I never want you two boys to rely on my father's net worth and your own little cleverness to act arbitrarily! ”
Lu Feng lowered his head and responded: "Father, the child really knows his mistake at this moment. ”
Lu Ren shook his head again and said, "I think you only understand a little bit now...... Arise! Now get back to my room and get some rest, and I'll take you to see something tomorrow morning." ”
————————————————————
The next morning, Lu Ren and his two siblings left the residence early. Under the leadership of Minchan, he went straight to a certain place in Keelung. As for where to go, under repeated questioning by the two brothers and sisters, Lu Rencai responded with a sigh: "Refugee camp." ”
Refugee camp? Yes, it's a refugee camp!
Budugen soldiers committed Chrysanthemum Harbor, burning and looting along the way, more than 50,000 nomadic cavalry in the western Liaoning territory is basically no different from robbers, can you expect them not to harass the people? It would be a big joke if they didn't take the opportunity to plunder the people!
Fortunately, at this time, the common people of western Liaoning had a place to escape, and that was Chrysanthemum Port. With the scale of Chrysanthemum Port, it can't actually accommodate too many displaced people, so many displaced people had no choice but to board a ship to Yizhou and come to Yizhou.
It's just that at this time, Yizhou has already entered the battle of Chrysanthemum Port and the next battle of Xisai Mountain, and there are a lot of things of all kinds, and Lu Ren can't care about the comprehensive resettlement of these displaced people for a while, so he temporarily ordered someone to build a refugee camp first.
It's not that Lu Ren is stingy or mishandled, but Lu Ren really couldn't take care of it in the first few months, you must know that many things are by no means as simple as people think, even in modern society, when there is a war in a certain area, those displaced people who flee are pouring into the surrounding countries, and the surrounding countries will have a great headache......
(Well, when the bottle wrote this, it was because I remembered the news about refugees I saw some time ago, and now Lu Ren has entered a period of war, and his ability to accept refugees should be far less than that of those countries that have been flooded by refugees, right?) (To be continued.) )
