In mid-August of the third year of the Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, Zhai Yu, the king of Ding Ling, who was released by Li Yi, returned to the Ding Ling tent in the lower reaches of the Anhou River. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAlthough Ding Ling's army was completely damaged, because the king had not returned, they did not dare to return to Ding Ling directly.

When Zhai Yu returned, the leaders came to greet him into the account. When the leaders saw that Li Yi had put Zhai Yu back, they all said that the general was benevolent and righteous, so it was better to be obedient.

Zhai Yu still needed everyone's help, how could he listen to this, and said angrily: "Where did he let me go, I killed more than 100 of him, cut the pass and locked him out of the city, and met a squad of Han cavalry outside, and after killing them, he took the horse back!" Who dare to talk nonsense again, be careful of the ruthlessness of the knives and guns in my hands! ”

Everyone was taken aback, Zhai Yu was extremely brave in Ding Ling, tearing tigers and leopards alive, Ding Ling admired the strong, so his prestige was extremely high. When everyone heard him say this, they didn't doubt it, and said in unison: "The king is mighty, and he will definitely take revenge in the future!" ”

Everyone retreated, and only Baliyan stayed, so Zhai Yu said, "You go back to the Beihai Royal Court immediately and mobilize men and horses to fight again." ”

Baaliyan hurriedly said: "King, we don't have many soldiers, and we have no morale when we look at the appearance of the commanders of the various departments. ”

Although Ding Ling's total population is as high as 500,000, this battle damaged 70,000 elites, which is definitely a loss of vitality. Although with the characteristics of the Ding Ling nomads, they can still draw more than 100,000 horses or even more troops, but the combat effectiveness of the army is not guaranteed. If the leaders of the various departments are allowed to draw troops to fight against the Han Dynasty, the leaders of the various departments who have been frightened by Li Yi are afraid of rebellion.

How could Zhai Yu not know, but he was like a gambler who was in a hurry, racking his brains to think about where he could get the chips. But he also knew that he couldn't push these tribal leaders too much.

It was getting dark, he suddenly slapped the chair and got up, startling Baliyan, just when he wondered if Zhai Yu was having a nervous disorder, he heard Zhai Yu say: "Yes, this time I will definitely be able to defeat Li Pengfei!" ”

Zhai Yu was captured three times, he was annoyed and angry, and swore that he would win Li Yi once no matter what, he was not stupid, and after thinking about it hard, he really thought of a way.

Baaliyan hurriedly said, "My lord, I don't know what the best plan is? ”

Zhai Yu laughed and said: "This method came from the predecessors, and the ancestors used it a hundred years ago, and they once defeated the Northern Huns. If we use this method, we will definitely be able to defeat him. ”

In the winter of the second year of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty (72 BC), Ding Ling, Wuhuan, and Wusun attacked the Xiongnu and dealt a heavy blow to the Xiongnu. Around the first year of Shenjue (61 BC), Ding Ling attacked the Xiongnu several times. After the middle of the 1st century AD, the Xiongnu were divided into two parts, the north and the south, and their power was declining day by day. In the second year of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty (85 AD), Ding Ling, Xianbei and various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, together with the Southern Xiongnu, defeated the Northern Xiongnu and forced the Northern Xiongnu to move westward.

The method that Zhai Yu said was an example of a battle that happened during this period. At that time, the Northern Xiongnu were strong, and Ding Lingren was not an opponent at all. However, the leader of Ding Ling of that generation, who was also Zhai Yu's ancestor, was a man of great talent and strategy, and used strange tricks to break the Northern Xiongnu, which set off a high tide of rebellion against the Northern Xiongnu by all ethnic groups in the prairie, and eventually led to the demise of the Northern Xiongnu.

Baaliyan's heart itched, and he asked, "King, what is the solution?" ”

Zhai Yu smiled: "So...... In this way, you will immediately return to Beihai to prepare, the speed must be fast, Li Yi also suffered heavy casualties in today's battle, and he must not be allowed to slow down. ”

Only then did Baaliyan think that it was such a good way, so he set off overnight and went to Ding Ling's hometown to raise it non-stop.

………………

Since ancient times, the Northern Xinjiang Army has sophisticated equipment, its own quality is excellent, and the reasonable scheduling of military advisors Zhuge Liang and Sima Xu Shu has avoided excessive losses.

However, because Ding Ling was a cavalryman, he suffered a lot of losses in a decisive battle. Eighty percent of the casualties occurred in the frontal resistance to Ding Ling's iron hoof charge, with a loss of more than 2,000 people, plus the rest of the losses have exceeded 5,000, and the combat effectiveness has been sharply reduced by 30%.

After this battle, Li Yi had more than 13,000 soldiers and horses left in Longcheng County, even if some garrisons in the remaining counties were added, the total was about 20,000 people.

However, fortunately, the results of this battle were brilliant, and Ding Ling's main force was eliminated. This gave him the opportunity to send reinforcements to Wolf Juxu County. After the battle, Li Yi immediately ordered Zhao Yun to lead 6,000 soldiers and horses to Wolf Juxu.

It is worth mentioning that in this battle, Li Yi captured more than 50,000 Ding Ling soldiers and captured more than 60,000 Ding Ling war horses. He drew 1,000 elites from the standing army and restored the Iron Cavalry of the Pro-Guard Army to a full strength of 6,000 men. And Zhao Yun's standing army was transferred to a thousand garrisons, a thousand local residents, and a thousand Ding zero prisoners, and it was restored to a full strength of 6,000 people.

As for the rest of Ding Ling's captives, they are still being held in the prisoner camp outside Dragon City for the time being, and after Ding Ling is completely conquered, they will be arranged in a unified manner.

In Longcheng, a luxurious mansion covering an area of 100 acres is the medical center for the injured and sick of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

In the final analysis, it is the soldiers who rely on the soldiers, and no matter how powerful the generals and strategists are, there is no place for them without soldiers. Li Yi remembered that the method of buying people's hearts when fighting for the world in later generations was to treat soldiers well and attach importance to wounded soldiers. So early the next morning, after sending Zhao Yun to Wolf Juxu to support Lu Bu and Sima Yi's 6,000 soldiers and horses, Li Yi came here under the protection of Dian Wei.

The owner of this mansion had already fled before the war, and this time because of the menacing five-ethnic coalition army such as Ding Ling, many people fled, not only Han people, but also people from other ethnic groups such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Xiongnu. Some of these people took refuge in Ding Ling and Jiankun, and some fled to the mainland.

The entrance is a square of nearly 1,000 square meters, paved with bluestone, the other end is the tall main hall, the corners are warped and hung with colorful objects, the left and right are cloisters, and the pillars and guardrails are exquisitely carved. The magnificent courtyard shows the dignity and luxury of the family.

In the square at this moment, the hemp rope string string shelf is covered with cleaned linen sheets and some clothes. There are people and men busy shuttling around. Either put away the dried sheets, or put the freshly washed ones on the line to dry.

These people were temporarily hired by Li Yi from the private sector and paid daily wages.

Give the wages! This was almost unimaginable before Li Yi ruled northern Xinjiang, at that time, they were all strong men to serve hard labor, basically compulsory labor, and if they didn't do well, they would be beaten by soldiers, and some women with faces might be in danger of being defiled.

Now working under Li Yi, not only do they not have these dangers, but they can also get wages, so these people are doing very hard. It is very cheerful, and it spreads the reputation of the benevolent and righteous division of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Seeing Li Yi coming, the soldiers guarding here hurriedly saluted and said, "See the lord!" ”

"General!"

"It's the general here!"

……

The busy people immediately put down their men and bowed down on the spot. There are even young and unmarried young women who hurriedly gather their messy hair, tidy up their dresses, or wipe their faces with wet linen, wanting to show their best image in front of Li Yi.

"Get up and do your job." As Li Yi spoke, he walked towards the main hall, where was the largest ward.

The guards were better, and when they heard the words, they got up, looked at their noses and noses, and stood up straight, and they didn't dare to breathe in the atmosphere in the high alert, for fear of discrediting the unit in front of the lord.

The people didn't dare to get up, and when Li Yi walked over, his head hung lower.

Sometimes Li Yi thinks that he, a poor boy and a big-headed soldier in later generations, actually made a name for himself in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, not only opening up territory for the Han nation, but also having the momentum of dominating the world. This person's fate is really unpredictable.

Li Yi clearly knows that he has been able to get to where he is today because of the prophetic foresight obtained in later generations, as well as the strange summoning system. Therefore, he always reminds himself that he must not be complacent, not high-minded, but down-to-earth, one step at a time. It is necessary to summon and promote famous generals, train soldiers hard, spare no effort to invest in the military, and must not be like the later generations of Cixi Lafayette, there is no military spending, and tens of millions of silver must be raised to repair the courtyard.

Do you think that old lady is stupid, if the front line fails, no matter how beautiful the garden she builds, it is someone else's. In the end, the dream came true, and when the foreigner saw that the garden was beautiful, he burned it.

Believe in the secret of invincibility that has been passed down through the ages: love the soldiers like sons, love the people like sons.

As long as he does the above and persists, Li Yi believes that he will be able to achieve hegemony. It's really going to be that day, I'm sorry, but I'm going to enjoy it too.

"My lord? Lord! Dian Wei whispered from the side. He was sweating all over his head, and his heart said why did the lord start to stay at the door?

Li Yi returned to reality from fantasy, retracted his expression, and walked into the house.

This big house is hundreds of square meters, but it looks like it has not been built for a long time, after all, the Han people have not migrated here for a long time. Now all the delicate desk beds have been withdrawn, and in their place are fifty beds, neatly arranged in order. The smell of incense and herbs in the air suddenly reminded Li Yi of the smell of disinfectant in the hospital in later generations.

The treatment of wounded soldiers in the Northern Xinjiang Army, separate beds, 24-hour uninterrupted care, military doctors check beds three times a day, follow up on medical progress, and formulate the latest medical measures.

This is almost unimaginable in the rest of the princes' armies, for example, during the Yellow Turban War a few years ago, the wounded soldiers of the famous general Huangfu Song, among which the seriously injured were all buried alive on the spot. In the name of beauty, save grain and grass, and save materials.

Li Yi treats the wounded soldiers like this, not because he is wealthy, but because if he can't solve the soldiers' worries, how can he make the soldiers return to their hearts and kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield? Like the protagonists in those brain-dead TV series, just saying a few words can make the soldier's fighting spirit and kill the enemy frantically, that's all. (To be continued.) )
