Chapter 105: The East Wind (4)

Lu Yao wiped his hands with his sleeve, took the silk book and unfolded it.

A silk ruler is square, and the ink is dripping with can't write a few words, just a few words. But Lu Yao watched it repeatedly, 'revealed' a thoughtful expression, and it seemed that the content was quite peculiar.

And the crowd eating and drinking by the fire gradually fell silent.

By this time, the rewards had been distributed, and the feast was far from over. There are many cattle, sheep and livestock in northern Xinjiang, and this thing does not need to be cooked by the fire army, but only needs to be dismantled in eight pieces and served like flowing water. The soldiers sat around the fire and barbecued, all of them eating with red faces and mouths full of oil. Lu Yao was sitting by the fire pond, and all the senior officers were sitting, and Ding Miao and Shen Jin were especially elated, talking loudly and laughing. It wasn't until Ding Jin coughed repeatedly, reminding him that the two of them seemed to have military intelligence to report, that they quieted down.

Lu Yao didn't pay attention to these at all, just carefully looked at the contents of the silk book. After a long time, he said slowly: "It's so ......" said, and casually 'handed' the silk book to Shao Xu.

At the beginning of Lu Yao's army entering Dai County, Hu Liuniang sneaked into Guangchang County in advance, and took advantage of the old relationship between the Taihang Gang and the horse thieves in northern Xinjiang to 'mix' the proprietress of a mansion. During this period, she cooperated with Zhu Sheng, Chu Kun and others to spread rumors that Lu Yao and others were caravans. Dou Luji and others were really fooled, thanks to Hu Liuniang's strength. In the next two days, Lu Yao annihilated the horse thieves of the Doulu Ji Division, and led the army to attack the Hu tribes of various tribes, disturbing all parts of Daijun. Zhu Sheng returned to the army and led the scout cavalry to spy on the enemy, which was quite meritorious, but Hu Liuniang had no news.

After all, Hu Liuniang is not Lu Yao's subordinate, let alone a person in the imperial court system. They were the so-called "temporary workers" in later generations, so their whereabouts were not noticed by others until then. But at this moment, a letter suddenly came, and Lu Yao watched it repeatedly, which naturally made the generals question. Everyone looked at each other, speculating about what was written in the silk book, but Lu Yao's face was as calm as water, and Shao Xu was also a good kung fu person, which made it difficult for everyone to judge.

Shao continued to unfold the silk book and read it for a long time. He did not pass the silk book to the other generals who sat at the head of the house, but folded it neatly and received it in his sleeve.

"What is the high opinion of Changshi?" Lu Yao asked.

Shao Xu groaned for a moment, and said, "Although it is unexpected, it is reasonable. ”

Lu Yao nodded. He stared at the dancing firelight and fell into deep thought.

Although the city of Daiwangcheng changed hands, the strength of Lu Yao's troops was limited after all, and the remnants of many Luochuan thieves were allowed to flee and failed to annihilate all of them. These people are not the ghosts in the fields around Luochuan, and after escaping, they each found their way to join other tribes, and they slipped away in the blink of an eye. However, there were also people who did not go too far, and a few Luochuan thieves soon met the companions of the Daijun thieves, so they turned back and lurked among the grasslands and woodlands around Daiwang City, closely monitoring the Jin people's every move.

The next morning, the rising sun shone on this majestic site. Looking from the sparse forest about two miles west of the Daiwang City, you can see many Jin people walking and busy in it, and there are several flags that have never been seen flying high in the high place of the Daiwang City.

Dog's Day, this is our city! Such a good city was taken by the enemy! Xi Yunyan's facial muscles and flesh twitched, and he couldn't help but roar: "Hack to death!" All hacked to death! ”

His body trembled from his rage, causing the large pile of dead grass he was wearing for cover to tremble.

The surname Xiyun comes from the Beibei Beibei Department and belongs to one of the ninety-nine surnames. About thirty years ago, the Xiyun clan moved south with the central part of Tuoba Xianbei to Daijun, and later moved west to the Yunzhong area. Xiyunyan is a descendant of the Xiyun clan who wandered in Daijun in this process. It is said that he was born with a cold, and his brain did not seem to be particularly good, and he always looked angry, killing people at every turn, and saving dozens of lives on his hands. It was precisely because of this fierce energy that he won the appreciation of Ma Fu, the leader of the Luochuan thieves, and became the leader of the bandits who led a tun of troops.

At noon yesterday, Xi Yunyan and a few thieves were fighting hard with the Jin people. The fierceness of those Jin people was so fierce that it was simply difficult to resist, and after a short battle, they only heard the thieves in the direction of Wubao crying as if the sky was cracking, and then the defense line collapsed. After all, Xi Yunyan is not really a fool, at this time, he knew that the situation was not good, and he escaped three points faster than others.

In the northern Xinjiang grassland in summer, it is the time when "the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low", and the grass and trees are the most luxuriant. He drilled into the haystack, and wanted to go west to join the central part of Tuoba Xianbei led by the Wei family, but he bumped into several old acquaintances of the Changshan thieves on the way, so he reluctantly turned around again.

"Brother, don't hack and scream all day long. Daiwangcheng is not yours, what are you anxious about? A middle-aged horse thief with sparse hair barely pulled into a bun stretched his waist, patted Xi Yunyan's shoulder, and said mysteriously: "Tell you, those people won't be proud for long...... This time, the big boss is angry! ”

"Oh?" Xi Yunyan jumped up violently: "Is the big boss going to send troops?" ”

His movements were too big. A figure suddenly jumped out of what should have been a sparse forest of dead grass, and it was really easy for the enemy to spot. The middle-aged horse thief was about to complain a few words, but facing Xi Yunyan in the direction of Daiwang City, he suddenly 'revealed' a frightened look.

At the moment when Xi Yunyan was about to let out a wild scream, a long arrow made of 'fine' iron burst through the air, pierced into the back of the middle-aged horse thief, and came out through the 'chest'. Coincidentally, the sharp arrow hit Xi Yunyan's left 'chest', nailing the two of them together.

"Hack to death! Hack to death! Xi Yunyan muttered a few words, tilted his head, and died.

After a few moments, the heavy sound of hundreds of iron hooves stomping on the ground rumbled, and a cavalry team galloped out of the slanted ground. The man at the head is tall and has long arms, holding a three-stone strong bow, it is Shen Jin! Shen Jin urged the tall horse, swept past the two corpses that were worn in one place, and with a bent waist, he had already 'drawn' back the blood-stained long arrow.

"Brethren, follow me!" He roared.

Relying on the subordinates who successively incorporated the Doulu Ji Department, the Bo Mei Department and the Luochuan Thieves, the troops under Lu Yao's command were like a snowball, and after seeing through the current situation of the fragmentation of the Daijun Hu'er, the confidence of the soldiers became more and more sufficient. In the early morning of the next day after the capture of Daiwangcheng, Lu Yao issued a general order, and Ding Miao, Xue Tong, Shen Jin and others each led one and attacked again.

Within a day, in the vast area with Luochuan as the center, northeast to Dangcheng, due south to Guangchang, and west to Pingshu, all the Zahu tribes were fiercely attacked, and they were either wiped out or surrendered, and without exception they were required to move to the vicinity of Daiwangcheng. Compared with the half-farming and half-pastoralizing Zahu tribes, the horse thieves with strong mobility and 'sexuality' fled to the mountains crying and screaming, and those who ran slower became ghosts under the knife.

However, Lu Yao and his subordinates did not stop the pace of sweeping, they continued to attack in all directions, and the scope of their operations became more and more extensive, and when chasing and suppressing horse thieves, they penetrated into the territory of Pan County in Guangning County several times. When Zhu Sheng's scouts were wandering southwest of Daiwangcheng, they even came into contact with the state and county defense forces of Fanyang Kingdom north of the Juma River.

Two days later, Lu Yao annexed three more unruly Zahu tribes and two horse thief gangs. After continuous recruitment and surrender, the number of accounts and assets he has mastered has doubled, and the number of troops has reached a full 3,500 horsemen!

This style is completely different from the restraint methods that the Hu'er of Daijun were familiar with and used by the imperial court before, and it can be described as furious. Lu Yao drove the subjugated tribes to fight continuously, each battle causing huge casualties, but each time he was the winner in the end. What's even more terrifying is that cattle and sheep, tents, gold silks, weapons, 'women' and 'women', Lu Yao methodically and completely deprives the loser of everything he has. And these rich assets will be distributed directly to each of the soldiers as trophies.

He even had no qualms about selecting and appointing officers from among the motley tribesmen and even the slaves. Several of the subjugated chieftains and marshals were enraged and tried to pull their tribes back away, but they were greeted by unimaginably cruel means. Inch, car crack, waist cut, Lu Yao smiled, politely spoke, but at the same time used cruel means to deter the Hu warriors. With the death of these chiefs, the tribes to which they belonged were immediately broken up, reorganized, and completely disappeared.

Within five days, there were nearly ten fierce battles, and if this kind of fighting frequency was in the interior of the Central Plains, I am afraid that all the soldiers would be scattered in a hurry. However, Lu Yao's subordinates had the backbone of the Bingzhou warriors and the soldiers of the beggar army, and they were also the best of the Hebei bandits and the vicious Hu people of Daijun...... This army is already unusually strong. Under the control of Lu Yao's means of rewarding and punishing heavily, the constant battle is like a raging fire, and the enemy is an anvil and a hammer, this army is like steel that has been repeatedly forged, gradually driving out impurities in the process of fighting with almost no respite, and it is becoming more and more tenacious and strong.

Crazy! That group of Jin people is crazy! The Hu tribes of Daijun are sending messages to each other. Countless messengers galloped back and forth, some out to find out the details of this Jin army, some eager to ask for help from the larger tribes, and some went directly to the Jin army camp to find out their intentions.

Some of the smaller, sparsely populated tribes began to flee in panic, abandoning their customary pastures and migrating to the east to Quang Ninh, Shang Gu, and other counties, even if such a migration was likely to lead directly to their annexation by other tribes. Some powerful large tribes, such as the Daijun branch of Tuoba Xianbei in the middle and Duan Xianbei, began to mobilize troops intensely. June was the time of abundance, and the vast majority of the tribesmen were scattered across the vast pastures, and even these two powerful tribes needed time to gather the scattered people.

And even Dai County, Guangchang, these cities inhabited by Han people, vigilantly closed the city 'gates', and began to mobilize the 'private' soldiers of the big clans in the city.

This Jin army, which suddenly broke into Daijun, was like a pack of wolves that were slaughtered unscrupulously after entering the new territory, causing a violent reaction from the local wolves.

The clouds of battle were thick over Daijun, and a larger-scale battle was about to break out.
