Chapter 274: After the Great War, the Imperial Envoy Comes
In ancient wars, the collection of loot was a top priority. Thanks to these weapons, you'll be able to pull up a well-equipped team again in no time. Without these weapons, even if you immediately make up for the attrition, you will be nothing more than a bunch of unarmed farmers.
And the ancient manufacturing industry was not developed, and skilled craftsmen had to make a sharp weapon for a day.
The Xiliang soldiers were all under Dong Zhuo before, and Dong Zhuo occupied Huahua Shijie, so he built his own team very well. Leather armor, helmets, weapons, all available. Now tens of thousands of sets are thrown on the ground, collected and collected at will, and some homeless people are recruited at will, that is, an army of 70,000.
Moreover, there are one or two thousand war horses scattered around.
Qin Feng had to have 10,000 cavalry if he played with his life, of which 5,000 were sponsored by the grassland tribes. Whoever has 100,000 iron horsemen can sweep the world, this is not nonsense. After all, at the peak of the Three Kingdoms period, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu added up to this number.
Xiliang has 30,000 cavalry, which Dong Zhuo has saved in Qiangdi all his life. Lu Bu had 5,000 cavalry, which was the old bottom of the Han family.
Therefore, the horse equipment in this place, Qin Feng and Lu Bu were both red-eyed.
Qin Jun side
Five thousand heavily armored entrapment legions lined up, and the horses in iron scale armor and the knights in heavy armor all over their bodies were like necromantic knights killed one by one from the Nine Hells!
This cavalry is Qin Feng's painstaking efforts, when he used the time of Emperor Ling of Han to do business, he barely saved up 500 horsemen, and later obtained the spoils obtained by Zhang Jiao from the big families of several states, which was expanded to 3,000 horsemen. Recently, in the battle of Shanggu County, the Huns were defeated and the war horses were obtained. This has grown to five thousand horsemen.
If there is chaos today, the people are not happy. The group of heroes is not more than a state of land, and it can be said that the next ten years. There was no one to pull up a single of these hoplites.
Lu Bu was forced by the might of this heavily armored cavalry, so he didn't dare to act rashly, but he was unwilling to give up the spoils, and said coldly: "Qin Zijin, you and I have joined forces to have this big victory, and these trophies should be shared with me!" ”
Qin Feng smiled and said, "I'm afraid General Lu will be mistaken, I am the general of the court." These spoils of war are collected, and they will be handed over to the imperial court, and it is up to you to decide how much they will share with you when the time comes. ”
You will surrender to the court! Lu Bu was annoyed, you think I was a three-year-old child, and now the court is a fart. But he was forced by the big reason, and he couldn't refute it for a while.
Qin Feng didn't want to fight with Lu Bu at the moment, and although the Xiliang army was defeated, there were still seventy or eighty thousand people. Taking the opportunity to run away is the best policy. Second, this Lu Bu is also a hero who killed the national thief, although he besieged himself before, but now he has united, if he attacks again. I am afraid that it will be criticized by the world.
He thought for a moment and said kindly: "General Lu still don't worry about the things here, he should return to Chang'an as soon as possible." If the Xiliang army comes again, it will be better to be prepared. ”
Lu Bu compared the combat strength of the two sides, and he couldn't defeat the 5,000 trapped army alone. If he wanted to kill Qin Feng by force, he still had that hateful Xu Chu by his side. Qin Feng said good things. Lu Bu took advantage of the situation and gave up his plan to ask for the loot.
However, Lu Bu couldn't tolerate things in his heart, and suddenly remembered Wang Yun's strategy in himself, which was the matter of breaking with Dong Zhuo. Although he no longer cares about killing Dong Zhuo, he can't bear the fact that he was deceived.
What's more, now not only is there no money and money, but also soldiers are lost. He said angrily: "Qin Zijin, what you said earlier, Wang Yun used tricks on me, is this true?" ”
Qin Feng had long wanted to break the vicious Wang Yun into pieces, but Wang Yun was the third prince of the dynasty, and if he killed him openly, his reputation would be greatly damaged. This matter also needs to be on Lu Bu, borrowing a knife to kill people! Qin Feng said with a smile: "General Lu is brave, no one in the world is the best, but he was deceived and killed his father-in-law, t......sk, tsk, tsk, ”
Lu Bu's face changed in an instant, he churned inside, and his hand squeaked with a halberd.
Qin Feng hurriedly said again: "Wang Situ and General Lu do have a problem, but Dong Zhuo is full of evil, and the general is loyal to the imperial court to break with it, and it is also a great ...... to do righteousness. ”
"Do you dare to confront each other face to face?" Lu Bu said.
"Believe it or not." Qin Feng was too lazy to say more to him, it was the right thing to gather the materials and go on the road as soon as possible. So he took the spoils of war and went away from Wangyiwu.
Lu Bu's face changed again and again, he already had the ambition to be independent, but now he was still rootless duckweed, so he returned to Chang'an with his soldiers and horses.
……
In Yiwu, nearly 10,000 people went in and out to collect materials.
Qin Feng, Fu Shou, and Diao Chan chatted in the room, waiting for the materials in the Yiwu outside to be loaded, and then left.
Diao Chan was happy and kept talking.
Fu Shou always smiled silently, and there was a trace of sorrow in his eyebrows. She thought of her father in Chang'an, and she didn't know when she would see each other. However, she did not express the worries in her heart, but just suffered them silently.
Qin Feng got a lot of bargains this time, and he was happy in his heart at the moment, so he didn't find out. He took out two exquisite phoenix hairpins from his arms and brought them to the two ladies with his own hands. This phoenix hairpin is one of the treasures of the Docks, made entirely of gold and set with suitably bright gemstones. When the two of them put it on, they were immediately beautiful.
After a while, Xu Shu walked in, first saluted the lord, and then saluted the two lords, and then said: "Lord, there are too many materials in Hewu, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid it's hard to take it away. After he finished speaking, he wiped a handful of sweat, and said in his heart that Dong Zhuo can really accumulate wealth, and with this money and grain in Yiwu, I am afraid that it can top the total tax revenue of the rich state for several years.
The wealth accumulated by the people of Luoyang for two hundred years is not a small amount. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many, Qin Feng would have left early in the morning.
At this moment, when he heard that he couldn't take it with him, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and said, "Military division, our army has 20,000 soldiers, can't you take it away?" ”
Xu Shu said embarrassedly: "Lord, the property is easy to say, but the grain needs nearly a thousand carts and horses to transport, and there are only more than 100 trucks collected by Yiwu, which is far from ......." ”
"So?" Qin Feng thought about it, a few tons of more than a dozen tons of money could be taken away, and 10,000 tons of grain could not be transported by 20,000 soldiers with their bodies. He said, "Then gather around as soon as possible and ......." ”
Xu Shu was also reluctant to use these grains, and it must be known that the army did not move the grain and grass first, and the military salary could be delayed for two or three months, perhaps more. If you don't have food for two or three days, you see that the soldiers don't rebel immediately!
And so. Thousands of horsemen came out of the four gates of Hewu to look for the chariot.
Just when Qin Feng was worried about carrying the materials of Yiwu. The defeated Xiliang army had already galloped for dozens of miles, and saw that there were no pursuers and slowly gathered together.
Li Dao and Guo Yan were able to collect the defeated soldiers, and the two of them set up camp in despair, which tied Jia Xu in.
If it weren't for Jia Xu's plan, there would never be today's big defeat, Guo Yan was very angry and shouted: "Jia Wenhe, you have a bad idea. ”
Jia Xu is also depressed. Unexpectedly, Qin Feng actually saw his plan, and succeeded in sneaking up on the plan. There must be someone to help you! Thinking of this, he secretly scolded Li Dao and the two for being stupid, since ancient times, the coalition forces with combined interests have been merged together, and they have always been wary of each other and go hand in hand. These two fools actually let Qin Feng follow behind. Even if Qin Feng didn't plan to sneak attack at the beginning, you gave someone the weakness, and it would be stupid for them not to beat you.
However, Jia Xu knew that this truth could not be told to Li Dao and Guo Yanming. Because both of them are angry. When he said it, he was angry and killed himself.
In order to save his life, after Jia Xu's brain teaser turned around, he hurriedly said: "Two generals." Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. Everyone in the world says that Qin Zijin is benevolent, righteous and generous, who knows that he is so cunning, this is the trick. The two generals want to kill the old man. The old man had nothing to say. However, the old man also had to plan for the two generals when he was dying. Listen to my ....... ”
"Our army still has more than 70,000 men, but the food and grass are about to run out. This goes to the poor mountains and bad waters of Xiliang. I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to replenish all the way. Jia Xu said: "Our army was defeated, Qin Zijin became more famous, and he has always been a master of high merit, and he must be suspicious of the Son of Heaven." Lu Bu, Wang Yun will definitely not be able to tolerate him. ”
"I think Qin Zijin must also be able to see this, his foundation is in Youzhou, and he will definitely leave Chang'an with Yiwu money and grain. Whether it is because the Son of Heaven does not allow civil strife, or Qin Feng leaves, Chang'an is bound to be empty, and we have a chance to break through Chang'an! ”
When Jia Xu saw Li Wei, Guo Yan had a gloomy face and was speechless, so he bewitched: "If there is no food, grass, soldiers and horses will be scattered, the court will pardon everyone, but not me." If there are no soldiers and horses, the imperial court can capture us with only one pavilion chief. It's better to wait for the opportunity to enter Chang'an. One is to avenge the prime minister, and the other is to serve the court to uphold the world, without losing the position of a prince, and to dominate one side ....... ”
Li Dao and Guo Yan glanced at each other. Jia Xu said that when the grain ran out and the troops were scattered, and the return to his homeland was captured by the imperial court, it must come true. Only by taking Chang'an can we avoid this disaster.
"Jia Wenhe, don't just say nice ......." Guo Yan said fiercely.
Jia Xu saw that things had taken a turn for the better, and hurriedly said: "You can send a horse to investigate, and in the next three or five days, there will definitely be news from Chang'an." If there is no news, Jia Xu will give the first level of apology ....... ”
Li Wei was silent, so he discussed with Guo Yan: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and it is also a common thing for strategists to succeed in their plans. ”
Guo Yan nodded when he heard this, and then said, "Loosen the ...... for Mr. Wenhe." ”
Jia Xu saved his life and breathed a sigh of relief.
Tomorrow
Yiwu
Xu Shu came to the lord with great ambition, because he was worried about seeing that the mountains of grain could not be pulled away. He came in and saluted first, and said, "My lord, I have collected ...... from all four small counties. ”
"Enough, right?" Qin Feng asked.
"To say the least, there are more than 500 cars left!"
Holy! More than 500 carts, that is, half of the grain can't be pulled away! Go up in flames? Qin Feng's thoughts turned sharply.
The food that Dong Zhuo gathered in Yiwu was enough to eat for twenty years. This is not to say that he has eaten himself for twenty years, but that his subordinates are combined.
Definitely going to take it away! Qin Feng couldn't help but think.
At this moment, the scouts came with the news that the Xiliang army had been camped fifty miles away for a day, and there was no sign of leaving.
Xu Shu's mind changed for a moment, and said: "Lord, Li Dao, Guo Yan is not small, they are regathering soldiers and horses, obviously looking for an opportunity to take advantage of. The foundation of the lord is not here, and it is best to leave the ...... as soon as possible. ”
There is a way to rush things, and at this time Xu Chu came in to report that the imperial envoy had arrived.
Qin Feng couldn't help but think: "Could it be that the little emperor also fell in love with the wealth of Yiwu?" That's not going to be easy. (To be continued......)
