Chapter 257 Tiger Baby, You Can't Kill People
The Han Dynasty was a dynasty with a strong desire to control. It can be seen from the geographical division that, for example, the area under the Sili School of War, Luoyang was like an octopus, stretching his hands and feet into the plains of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, and the eastern Henan; for example, Youzhou, Jizhou was shifting westward, controlling many dangerous and important areas of the Taihang Mountains, and could enter Bingzhou at any time; for example, Bingzhou moved westward, and used the "Shangjun" that should belong to Shaanxi to enter the Sanfu of Chang'an... For example, Youzhou used the help of Gaoliu County, Dai County, to enter Pingcheng.
This kind of regional division also poses great hidden dangers to Dong Hu's defense, but he doesn't have a good way, unless he rebels and robs half of the territory of Dai County!
More than ten thousand Wuwan helped Dong Hu block the Xianbei people at the entrance of the valley. In addition to hoping to get Dong Hu's borrowed cattle, sheep and food, they also wanted to save tens of thousands of tribes captured by the Xianbei people. As a result, they saw the bodies of countless tribes, and countless people cried, making people cry...
After throwing the three thousand Xianbei people to the Wuwan people, Dong Hu thought that Fu Luohan and others would not fight Dong Yao, Dong Xin, and Hu San again, but he was still extremely cautious about chasing the 20,000 Xianbei people who fled. It was not until the spies sent the exact news that he was a little disappointed to take the elite ten thousand cavalry back to Pingcheng.
The two sides did not really fight for a long time, but they did not know much preparation time, manpower and material resources. The military camps along Mayi to Pingcheng had to merge, and the old and weak had to gather in Mayi, Jiancheng and Pingcheng to avoid war. Pingcheng even began to recruit 50,000 soldiers and women. Although many of the things they did became useless, they had to do it. After the war came, no one could guarantee what it would look like. It was better to do it than not do it, and it was only a large-scale military exercise.
After confirming that Fu Luohan, Putou, Bu Dugen and others had escaped safely, Dong Hu could only order Dong Yao to lead his troops to turn to Qiangyin and Liangcheng, while Dong Xin led tens of soldiers to Beiyu County. In addition to Hu San leading tens of soldiers to turn to Pingcheng, Qiangyin, which was originally established, Liangcheng's defense area would be replaced by Zhu Wenze (Huangqihai) who was stationed in 15,000 cavalry in Hua Xiong.
From the beginning of December last year to the end of January of the fourth year of Zhongping, Dong Hu led his troops back. At this time, not only did 30,000 Han soldiers and cavalry first drive away millions of cattle and sheep, but the little princess Liu Yan, the Shangshu Lu Zhi, the Zhongchangshi Zhang Gong, Guo Sheng, the Fengche Duwei He Miao, the governor of Bingzhou Zhang Yi, the Yanmen County lieutenant Ding Yuan, and the Shu Zou Lu Bu... All the people also entered Pingcheng before he returned, but these people seemed to be unpopular guests. Even Dong Min, a group of Lintao veterans ignored Zhang's black face...
When thousands of elite cavalry entered the city, countless people went out to welcome him. It is still unknown whether they were voluntarily. However, when Dong Hu saw countless people coming out to welcome him, he was quite moved. Countless soldiers also jumped off the war horse and walked to the front of countless people.
"Big leader."
Yao Shan took the lead in front of Dong Hu and poured him a bowl of wine with his own hands. Dong Hu held the wine. He ignored the little princess, Lu Zhi and others, but stood in front of countless people.
"Pingcheng is a military city, the home port of 100,000 soldiers fighting outside and guarding the border. The soldiers can fight bloody battles with the enemy outside with peace of mind. Most of the credit belongs to you!"
"respect--"
Dong Hu raised his big hand and countless soldiers beat their chests hard.
"respect--"
"Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-"
The low and thick sound shook the sky, and the three heavy sounds of beating the chest and respect made the imperial envoys change their expressions.
Dong Hu raised his head and drank all the wine, and Yao Shan hurriedly poured another bowl.
"The weather is cold and the water turns into ice. Every day, every moment, 100,000 soldiers have to endure the biting cold wind and sleep in three feet of ice and snow every night... In just over a month of fighting, 100,000 soldiers have suffered more than 10,000 casualties. Without the blood and sacrifice of the soldiers, how can the family and country be safe?"
"Respect the fallen soldiers--"
"Respect all the soldiers guarding the border and defending the country--"
...
"Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-"
"Respect—Respect—Respect—"
...
"Respect the army and civilians in our Yanmen Army Town to work together to fight against foreign enemies-"
"respect--"
...
"Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-"
"Respect—Respect—Respect—"
...
Countless soldiers beat their chests, countless people roared to the sky, and after three bowls of strong wine were eaten, Dong Hu also blushed and waved to Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong hurried forward, which was far more solemn than usual.
"Soldiers who are fighting outside are not allowed to enter the city for the time being. They will be isolated in the barracks for seven days first, and rest in the barracks for seven days..."
"By the way, on New Year's Eve, the soldiers were unable to reunite with their wives and children at home. They have been lively in the military camp these days, but they are not allowed to meet their wives and children at home for the time being."
Hua Xiong clasped his fists solemnly.
"promise!"
Dong Hu waved to Zhang Liao again, and Zhang Liao hurried forward.
"Wen Yuan, please count the list of soldiers who died in the battle. The wives and children in the families of soldiers who died in the battle should be properly placed. They are all orphans of heroic and honest people. In some cases, craftsmen will cast iron plates of 'martyrs'. If you encounter an official, you will not kneel down. Everything will be given priority. No one is allowed to humiliate the orphans of the martyrs and punish them if they violate the orders of the military law!"
"promise!"
Zhang Liao retreated aside, and then Dong Hu walked to the little princess who was a little nervous, and greeted Lu Zhi with a weird look and said a few polite words to each other...
Seeing the generals leading countless soldiers to turn, it seemed that they were preparing to go to Xidaying. Perhaps Guo Sheng wanted to ease the atmosphere and smiled.
"Huwa, are you too strict? The soldiers have been fighting outside for a long time. When they arrive at the doorstep, they will not let them reunite with their wives and children. Isn't that right?"
Guo Shengruo didn't speak. When he did this in the past, Yao Shan and Yao Yong and his veterans didn't feel anything. Now he realized that Dong Hu was doing too harshly. Just as he was about to speak, Dong Hu glared at Guo Sheng and smashed the dissatisfaction and anger of the little princess coming to Bingzhou on the old bastard's head.
"Inappropriate...what is right? Is it appropriate to learn from Huangfu Song to bring the epidemic outside back to Luoyang? If you don't understand, don't talk! Do you understand soldiers? Do you understand what war syndrome is?"
Dong Hu was dissatisfied, dissatisfied that the 20,000 Xianbei people who had already been stuffed into his pocket had escaped, dissatisfied with the court's intention to give him the entire "Hansui incident", dissatisfied with a group of bastards to bring the little princess to the border, and even more annoyed by the Xianbei people who sent cattle, sheep, war horses, and demanded the imperial princess... There were too many dissatisfactions, after the war, the smoke on the battlefield had not yet calmed down, and the old bastard's words could trigger his anger and dissatisfaction.
When others saw Dong Hu, they didn't know how to speak for a moment. Even if Lu Zhi frowned and was a little dissatisfied, he pointed his finger at Huangfu Song, but this did not include the little princess Liu Yan who was "Four Grasshoppers" back then.
"Thuwa, Eunuch Guo has a good intention, how can you be such a fierce person?"
Dong Hu felt annoyed and said irritated: "Princess, why don't you stay in the palace? If you run here, why are you doing this? If our tiger kid wants to rebel, wouldn't you fall into the tiger's mouth?"
"snort!"
"You guys are so fierce... Do you know, they have sold you to Xianbei people! They have sold you to Kuitou as their young wife!"
Guo Sheng was shocked and raised his hand to pull Dong Hu's arm, but was frightened by Dong Hu's arms.
"Don't you do it?"
"I have never seen you bastards like this!"
Dong Hu pointed at Guo Sheng and was furious.
"I won't tell you why you took the little princess, but when the two armies were fighting, what happened to you send someone to the Xianbei camp? Do you know what the consequences will be for you, an old bastard? "
"Fortunately, I didn't know in advance that you are in Yinguan County. If I knew in advance, I would never have stepped across Nanqiu Shuigu! I just sat there and watched the Xianbei people kill to Yinguan County! I let those bastards enter Yinguan County and let them chop all of you bastards!"
"I also have the chance to kill them all--"
Dong Hu was furious and overthrew Guo Sheng again, ignoring anyone, jumped onto the war horse and rushed into the city, leaving behind a group of pale people...
"It's really...it's really as the leader said..."
Yao Yong scratched his head and looked at Yao Shan with a slightly frown.
"If Kuitou hadn't been running fast, the big leader would have been able to chop off his head. The three brothers Fu Luohan, Putou and Budugen were also blocked by the big leader in Gaoliu County. The 20,000 Xianbei people would definitely not be able to escape from the west. As long as the 30,000 Qianyin County returned to Pingcheng, the 20,000 Xianbei people would not be able to escape from the east."
"There is no escape to the west, and the east, the Xianbei people have 40,000 to 50,000 prisoners of Wuwan people and millions of cattle and sheep. If they don't abandon them all, these guys will definitely not be able to run fast! As long as the tiger kids don't force them too much, our 30,000 outside can rush back to Pingcheng in time. In addition, we have recruited another 70,000 people in the city. Even if the Xianbei people abandoned the prisoners, it would be too late for cattle and sheep, and they can only fight with us."
"But if at this time... those bastards knew that His Highness the Princess was in Yinguan County, they would definitely kill Yinguan County, and they would definitely want to catch His Highness the Princess to threaten..."
Yao Shan glared at the old brother and couldn't help but sigh.
"The leader was too forced to force the damn Xianbei people, which scared them to abandon all the cattle and sheep and run away. Otherwise... how would they be willing to throw away the cattle and sheep they had finally grabbed? There will definitely be tens of thousands of cattle and sheep that they went south day and night to attack Yinguan County. Yinguan County, which is less than a thousand people, cannot resist the attack of ten thousand Xianbei people who have become trapped beasts. As long as they catch His Royal Highness, they can not only survive, but also millions of cattle and sheep can be taken away safely."
Yang Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"It's really a ferocious death. When the two armies are fighting fiercely, they are afraid that others will know where their fragile central army is. They are trying their best to be confused by the enemy and fear that they can't hide their fragility. How could such a confused commander expose His Royal Highness the Princess to the thief's war..."
Yang Yi looked at Yao Shan with a serious expression.
"Fortunately, the leader did not give the thieves any chance. Even if the thieves knew where His Highness the Princess camp was located, they did not have the chance to rush to Yinguan County. They were shocked. As for the soldiers returning to the camp... there must be a reason for the leader. It took only seven days, so I think there is no big problem."
Yao Shan was about to nod in agreement, but Yao Yong, who was beside him, suddenly spoke.
"In the past, soldiers were staying in the barracks for some time before they were placed in various military camps. Before, the soldiers were not young. They only married the Hun women after capturing 100,000 or 200,000 Hun women."
