Chapter 910: Hedong (Finale)

Gao Yang's eyes condensed slightly, and his sharp eyes swept over the faces of those generals with a look of hope like a sharp blade flashing with a cold light. The indifferent gaze immediately made these enthusiastic guys feel cold all over them, and they hurriedly lowered their heads in a panic.

"It's wartime, we're on the battlefield! If you don't have military rations, you can ask Luoyang City what can you grab in the poor countryside around here? One by one, I don't know what to say! Gao Yang's voice was like a cold wind and snow blowing on those generals, making them all bow their heads heavily.

The military of this era is simple. You can fight, you are famous, you are very successful. Then what you said is right! If Gao Yang was just a guy with no reputation, no force, and no military exploits, these generals would have already turned their faces. Unruly warriors will not obey the orders of waste, even the emperor. In these chaotic times, these people can only admire the powerful and powerful.

"To each his own thing, the barracks are on guard. Whoever dares to disobey the military order will be killed! Gao Yang slammed the table and shouted.

"Command!" Gao Yang's deterrent power is still very strong, and his name of martial arts and the heads of those Hun white wave thieves are the best deterrent. No matter what they thought in their hearts, these generals immediately responded in unison.

Although Niu Fu is not well-known in the history books and died very early, in fact, his ability to command the army is not bad at all. Definitely a fierce general who has been killed from the battlefield. Faced with a group of rabble thieves who had lost their elite backbones and had no foreign aid, they soon played the prestige of the Xiliang strong army.

Niu Fu led more than 10,000 proud soldiers of the Xiliang Army to fight those white wave thieves who were in turmoil. Constantly using the powerful force in his hands to wear down the strength and morale of the white wave thief little by little. It was as if they had not been affected at all by the fact that most of the military rations had been burned and their supplies were gradually decreasing.

The terrain on the east side of the river is complicated, and the iron cavalry, which the Western Liang army is most proud of, cannot exert its most powerful strength. This is tantamount to tying their hands and feet. The dismounted cavalry was inferior to the infantry, and this statement was not wrong at all. Fortunately, their opponents are very bad, far from being the opponents of these Xiliang Army.

Niu Fu's tactic is to drag the consumption, and it consumes the morale of the white wave thief little by little. The intention is to crush the morale of the White Wave Thieves with powerful force, and then cover up and kill them when they are scattered!

Mrs. Guo is also not stupid to be able to do this step today. He was also suffering. As long as he can survive the army of Niu Fu and eat up the grain, he will win. It's a pity that his foreign aid ran away, and most of the backbone elites in the army were lost in the battle of attacking the granary. His capital has basically been lost, and he can't gamble anymore.

During this time, Gaoyang did his best to supply the grain supply to the front line of Niufu. The grain sent by Luoyang City has not yet arrived, and Gao Yang even asked Zhang Liao to directly use salt to go to the homes of the big families in the Hedong area to exchange for grain.

These wealthy families are the heart of the country. They keep countless people and families who don't need to pay taxes. It has thousands of acres of fertile land, mountains of grain, and countless wealth. At the same time, it has a monopoly on knowledge!

The families of wealthy families do not need to pay taxes, because there are no such people on the tax vouchers of the government. They have been annexing land since the establishment of the Han Empire, and thousands of acres of fertile land are nothing to a family. Their family treasury has even more grain than the state! But they never give relief to those who are about to starve to death!

In an era when knowledge was entirely recorded by books, these families, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, completely monopolized the circulation of knowledge throughout the country. In their family academy, there are people all over the world. As an official in various places, he has become their strongest backing.

Through constant marriages and exchange of interests, these wealthy families formed a huge network covering the entire country. They are the masters of this country.

The main reason for the Yellow Turban Rebellion was that the brutal exploitation of these people in this land made it impossible for the vast majority of ordinary people to survive, so they could only choose to rise up.

Neither the Three Kingdoms nor the Jin Dynasty have changed, and in the end, they can only wait until those northern wolf clans go south and wipe everything from the earth with a butcher's knife. It was finally over. And at the cost of tens of millions of lives and 500 years of civilization regression!

Gao Yang took his duties seriously. Gao Shun was ordered to stay and garrison the logistics battalion, and he himself took wave after wave of convoys to transport grain for the front line. Meticulous in the arrangement of various military affairs.

It's not that Gao Yang sincerely regards himself as a member of the Xiliang Army, and strives to do his best to work for Dong Zhuo. The real reason is that the battle of the Eighteenth Route Princes against Dong Zhuo is about to begin!

Gao Yang only cared about the outcome of this war, that is, the destruction of Luoyang City. Millions of people have been left to the bones!

Gao Yang must end the battle on this side as soon as possible and strive to return to Luoyang City as soon as possible. In any case, whether it was for the lives of millions of people, or for the search for the contractor. He couldn't even watch Luoyang City turn to ashes!

The fierce fighting ended after five days. Tens of thousands of white wave thieves resisted stubbornly. Fight to the death. In the mountains and forests, mountain peaks, and streams made the last resistance. Then, they were defeated.

Faced with a well-trained. Well-armed Western Liang Army. The White Wave Thief still couldn't hold out until Niu Fu ran out of the last of his grain. What they didn't know was that Niu Fu didn't think about returning to the army at all! He's ready to make dried meat when the food is running low!

After losing the last of their courage, tens of thousands of white wave thieves scattered in all directions. was chased by the Xiliang Army, who had already been full of anger, all the way to the tail. More than 10,000 levels of decapitation.

Guo Tai, the leader of the lost and depressed White Wave Thieves, was besieged by a large group of Xiliang cavalry in a small river valley and swore not to surrender. Because he knew that even if he surrendered, there was only one way to go, a tragic death.

Niu Fu ordered several strong attacks, but because of the complex terrain and the fierce resistance of the White Wave Thieves, he lost his troops and failed to attack the river valley. In a fit of rage, Niu Fu ordered the river to be cut off and blocked into a lake. Two days later, the entire valley was flooded.

After defeating the White Wave Thieves, the supply convoy from Luoyang brought the long-awaited news from Gaoyang. The local princes in the Kanto region formed a coalition and swore to defeat Dong Zhuo! For Gao Yang, who is temporarily unable to use the storage space, only at this time can he have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

"Zihou, this time the Kwantung Coalition Army is menacing, I heard that there are 500,000 soldiers and horses in total! It's time for you and me to shine. Niu Fu, who had already drunk, came to Gao Yang's side step by step with a jar of wine, and said with a mouthful of wine.

At this time, the war in the Hedong area had ended, and Niu Fu returned to the logistics camp with the army to join the Gaoyang headquarters. Post-war celebrations are underway at the moment. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, except for the night sentries, all ate and drank happily, enjoying the joy of the rest of their lives after the war.

"General." Gao Yang, who was calm-eyed, turned sideways slightly, and said in a loud voice, "My Xiliang Army is strong and strong, and it is invincible. The Kwantung Coalition was nothing more than a pack of chickens and dogs. When the army arrives, it will become powder. Come on, come on, the last general is here to congratulate the general on his ascension. ”

Because of the second crusade against the White Wave Thief, Dong Zhuo, who was in a good mood, issued an order through Emperor Han Xian to canonize Niu Fu as the general of Jianwu. There are also rewards for goods and beautiful women, not to mention.

Gao Yang was not left behind. Successfully defeated the Huns, guarded the logistics camp, beheaded Yang Feng, the leader of the White Wave Thieves, and supplied the front line with grain. These are all military exploits. In addition, he is now facing the strong oppression of the Kwantung Coalition Army, and Dong Zhuo is at the right time to employ people. Therefore, Gao Yang was canonized as a Yangwei general, which was already the rank of the fourth rank of the general.

At this time, the prestige of the Han family for more than 400 years was still there, and the rank of general was not as widespread as it would be in the future. The gold content is still very high.

"Hahaha~~~" After Niu Fu laughed heroically, he shook the wine jar in his hand and said with a smile, "Our feats are all made with our lives, and no one can say anything." Hu Wencai's life was not good, and he died before he arrived in Luoyang City. If you avenge him, then we will be our own people in the future. If there is anything difficult in the future, just ask! ”

Gao Yang's brows furrowed slightly, and a glint flashed in his eyes. looked at Niu Fu, who was obviously covered in alcohol on the side, with a ruddy face as if he was about to get drunk to death, but the words in his mouth were extremely sober. Hooked the corners of his mouth, smiled, and said, "The general has something to do, but please command, as long as he can do it, he must define it." ”

Niu Fu's body paused slightly, the expression on his face changed suddenly, and there was a clear color in his eyes, and there was no longer the slightest hint of drunkenness. looked at Gao Yang and said in a deep voice, "Okay, since Zihou said it, then I have nothing to hide." ”

Niu Fu's tone paused slightly, and said, "I heard that Zihou has a large amount of high-grade salt in his hands? I wonder if I can allocate some to a certain family? ”

"Naturally, there is no problem with this kind of small thing, and tomorrow I will send 10,000 catties of salt to the general, okay?" Gao Yang smiled indifferently and said in a light tone. It's as if what was given away was not a huge amount of wealth, but just some horse feed.

"Hahaha~~~" Niu Fu laughed and said, "Okay, good! Come on, drink! Drink! ”

After Ushisuke left, Yuan asked curiously, "How do you know he's not drunk?" ”

Gao Yang skillfully turned the sharp knife in his hand, and sliced off thin slices of meat on a roasted, greasy, golden leg of lamb and threw it into his mouth.

He said calmly, "His wine is all sprinkled on his body." His eyes were attentive, his laughter was calm, and his tone was smooth without a trace of confusion. Who do you see drunk like this? How can he be a fool who can be recruited by Dong Zhuo as a son-in-law? ”

Gao Yang heard a truth when he was very young, people who regard others as fools are generally fools themselves.

Dong Zhuo can go from a local tyrant to the position of the world's most powerful minister, which is definitely not something that a fool can do. How could the son-in-law recruited by such a character be a fool? (To be continued.) )
