Chapter 102: The East Wind (1)
Lu Yao clasped his hands on his shoulders and sat on the eaves of the second floor of the central mansion of Ma's Dock Fort.
Below him, many soldiers came and went, happily searching for the captures of the battle. When some people saw Lu Yao on the roof, they waved to him and cheered. Lu Yao waved his hand in response with a smile, but it was actually a little perfunctory. He didn't pay attention to the soldiers who counted the spoils, but frowned tightly and looked in all directions.
In summer, the vegetation of the Luochuan Plain is verdant, and the reclaimed heaven and earth are like uncarved gems, scattered on the green and green grasslands, the reckless primeval forests run through them, and the winding Qiyi water is sparkling under the sunshine, like a 'jade' belt. Lu Yao had no intention of watching this rare pastoral scenery, he carefully observed every corner over and over again, from the Daiwang City to the foot of the mountains in the distance, and did not miss a single place.
However, no. Lu Yao didn't find what he was hoping for.
The tiles made a soft noise, and someone carefully climbed out of the windowsill and announced behind Lu Yao: "General, the nearby fifty miles have been carefully searched, and there is no trace of Hu'er. Not only did the Hu coalition forces that had followed us disappear since yesterday, but the three Zahu tribes that had originally settled in the Luochuan Plain also suddenly migrated without a trace. ”
It was Zhu Sheng who spoke. As the person in charge of the scout, he 'spent' two hours to personally check the various passages, and assigned his subordinates to closely control all the mountain passes, during which he sent people to report every half hour, and only then was he able to rush back to Daiwangcheng. He took a step forward and took out a geographical map and spread it in front of Lu Yao: "General, please look, here, here, I have sent a horse scentry post, and within fifty miles, even a fly flying over cannot escape our surveillance...... General, the Hu'er have retreated, for sure. ”
Lu Yao stared at the map, and nodded slowly after a while: "It's good, but it needs to be strengthened." I will send He Yun's team to you, and you will go to General Ding's side for twenty people. Fifty miles is far from enough, and we must understand any wind and grass within a hundred miles! ”
Zhu Sheng solemnly agreed. When he was about to leave, Lu Yao added in a serious tone: "This matter is very important, and there must be no mistakes." ”
"Please rest assured, the general will go all out." Zhu Sheng bowed.
Lu Yao bowed his head and let him go.
Today's war, although the capture of Daiwang City gave the soldiers a place to stay, but the real combat goal was not achieved. Tuoba Xianbei's Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony will begin soon, and Lu Yao is very short of time. Therefore, from the very beginning, he fought the attention of the First World War. The demise of the Doulu Jibu is just an appetizer; The key is that Lu Yao's behavior of pretending to be a caravan as a 'decoy' bait is enough to 'provoke' the thieves from all walks of life in Dai County. Immediately, the act of attacking and destroying the Bo Ministry, which fully demonstrated his own malice to the Hu'er. After it was determined that the Hu coalition army was coming, Lu Yao deliberately used his limited strength to attack the well-defended Luochuan thieves, creating a situation under the fortified city.
Hu Ersheng is like a wolf, and he will never miss the opportunity to bite his prey. What's more, how can a person who knows the soldiers among the thieves not see that this is the benefit of a two-sided attack? Once they found that Lu Yao's troops were in an embarrassment, they would definitely make a big move and attack with their tails. And as long as they fight, Lu Yao is confident that he will win. In this way, the dust can settle on Daijun.
This was a plan that Lu Yao had calculated for a long time before he set it up, but he never expected that the Hu coalition army, which had been closely tracking his soldiers and horses since yesterday afternoon, would magically disappear. Could it be that if he broke through the power of the Daiwang City, he would be able to frighten the Hu coalition army to flee far away?
No way! Among them, there must be some 'yin' scheme! Lu Yao waved his hand a little annoyed.
He felt a little depressed, so he stood up, walked down the slope of the roof for a few steps, and then climbed the tile with his palm and borrowed a little strength, and turned over and landed.
Lu Yao was athletic, and when he jumped, he seemed to be a civet cat and a piece of dust, but when he fell, he happened to be standing in front of a person, which scared him a lot, and he screamed "ah", and the few books he was holding in his hand flew up.
This person is Shao Xu, looking at his appearance, he has probably sorted out all the chores. was about to come to report, but was startled by Lu Yao who fell from the sky. Fortunately, Shao Xu was followed by Xue Tong, who was wearing heavy armor and had sonorous steps. Xue Tong reacted quickly, took a step forward and lightly stretched his arm, and then fished the book in his hand, and finally did not deface it.
Lu Yao smiled apologetically at Shao Xu and dusted off his sleeves for him. The three of them walked side by side towards the hall of the dock fort.
"What about our casualties?"
"Ahem...... Shao Xu calmed down and looked at the file in his hand: "Today's fierce battle has suffered quite a lot of casualties, with eighty-seven killed and ninety-eight seriously injured. Minor injuries did not hinder the movement of more than 100 people. ”
The total number of soldiers who entered the city of Dai Wang was 500, and more than 30% were killed and seriously wounded, plus more than half of them were lightly wounded, which is not terrifying.
Lu Yao pursed his lips and asked again, "Can the injured be properly placed?" ”
"In accordance with the general's orders, they have been found in a dry, ventilated, and clean house to house them. The 'medicine' that our army brought from Jizhou has not yet been used up, and in addition, there are also a lot of wounded 'medicines' in Ma's Dock Fort, which is enough to be used. We also identified a number of doctors from the dock fort and cooperated in the treatment. ”
Lu Yao's footsteps did not stop, and he bypassed a white stone piled up on the wall: "Shao Gong, the soldiers who died in the war must be properly buried as soon as possible, and their names and places of origin must be recorded for future sacrifices. I'm afraid this is a bit cumbersome, but our army has always been like this, so there is Lao Shaogong. ”
Shao Xu bowed and saluted: "General Xue has already informed me of this matter." It is a benevolent and righteous act, Shao is very impressed, and he should do his best. ”
Lu Yao asked Xue Tong again: "Who is in charge of vigilance now?" ”
Xue Tong said in a deep voice: "Daijun is a place surrounded by tigers and wolves, and it should not be neglected. Perimeter security is now my own responsibility. The detachment of 300 soldiers was on duty, and the officers of the garrison were specially appointed to join the old brothers of the state. Rest assured, TD. ”
"Okay."
At this time, the three of them walked back to the hall of Fort Mars's Wood.
This is a pavilion-style building in the aspect of the bucket arch, with two floors up and down, and a height of four zhang. Surrounded by 'fine' corridors, it is even more magnificent in the main hall.
When the three of them sat down, they saw the dougongs and murals inside the pavilion, which were "colorful" and "gorgeous" and very luxurious, Xue Tong couldn't help muttering: "These thieves are so enjoyable." ”
Shao Xu explained: "After all, the Luochuan Ma clan is a Jin people, and they regard themselves as the wealthy clan of Daijun, which is different from those Hu'er who grow on horseback. It is said that the Ma father and son often took slaves from the hundreds of craftsmen and craftsmen in the surrounding counties. These are the fruits of the hard work of those craftsmen. ”
Lu Yao frowned, and remembered the giant man he met during the war today. has such courage, but is coerced by thieves, no matter what, Lu Yao can't get used to such a character.
He didn't want to talk about this, so he changed the topic: "The account and assets held by the Luochuan thief, I don't know if it can be counted?" ”
At this moment, it is less than two hours before the end of the war, where can you move so quickly? He just asked casually. Unexpectedly, Shao Xu took out a copy of the books in his arms and presented it: "The details of the specific account books and documents have not yet been sorted out. However, the approximate figures have been calculated. Our army saw that there were 936 households and 3,128 people under the control of Luochuan, excluding the old and weak 'women' and children, of whom 1,000 were strong men, and Hu'er was half of them. ”
"In the battle of Shicai, there were a lot of casualties among the Luochuan thieves, have they all been deducted?"
"Nearly 300 Luochuan thieves were killed in the battle, and 300 were seriously wounded, all of which are not counted." Shao Xumian did not change his 'color' and responded to the voice.
With current medical conditions, the mortality rate from serious limb injuries is extremely high. The doctors and 'medicines' that Lu Yao can raise will only be used to rescue his own soldiers, and he will not actually give any medical treatment to those who are seriously injured in Luochuan thieves, and within three or five days, they will die of natural causes. Lu Yao's question was to implicitly put forward this opinion, and Shao Xu said: That's exactly how I arranged it. Each other is a smart person, and they know the meaning of elegance when they hear the strings.
"Good!" Lu Yao bowed his head again.
Since it occupies the Daiwang City completely, the first priority is the people's household registration, followed by the materials and goods. Lu Yao then asked about the savings of the Luochuan thief: "Grain, cattle, horses, livestock, money, armor and equipment...... What are the takeaways from these four items? ”
"Luochuan, the elite and anointed land of northern Xinjiang, is surrounded by dozens of miles of abundant water and soil, suitable for farming and animal husbandry. Luochuan thieves have been entrenched here for more than 20 years, and they have devoted a few labors to agriculture, cultivated many fertile fields along both sides of the Qiyi River, and set up granaries in the dock forts. Shao has already inspected and understood one by one that the grain and straw in the warehouses everywhere are piled up, which is incalculable, and a rough estimate is at least enough for our army for two years. ”
Since ancient times, we have won with soldiers, and food has come first. Lu Yao and Xue Tong had seen the great famine in Bingzhou during the Tai'an period, and they had personally experienced the dilemma of the Jinyang army being constrained due to lack of food, and they only attached more importance to food than others. Hearing that Luochuan's grain was so abundant, the two of them were immediately overjoyed.
"Shao Gong, what about the other materials?" Xue Tong couldn't help but 'interject' to ask.
