1240 Strong Han Legacy
The first battle of the king's army advancing west to Shanglong was to recover Longcheng, and there was no expected battle.
The reason why Longcheng is famous in later generations is that it is another landmark, which is Jieting. Times have changed and the scenery has changed. Jieting’s old place has long been abandoned. The only thing that remains unchanged is that this place is still a dangerous situation, which will control the general trend of the East and West.
Although the Fenwu Army advanced rapidly, it was not hastily. Chen Yun knew that the king's army would not be easily defeated after a long time. Any minor defeat would cause serious consequences. Therefore, this time the march was extremely cautious. The three thousand soldiers of the Fenwu Army gathered into the central army, and the rear was armed with thousands of soldiers from the Yangwu Army, more than 3,000 soldiers and hundreds of vehicles.
The army marched westward, crossing mountains and ridges and rushing out of Longdao, but the expected situation of the army guarding did not appear. Although Longcheng, located between the mountains and valleys, had traces of vicissitudes of war and suffering from war, there were no signs of large-scale military gatherings.
Not only were there no military gatherings, there were not many people around Longcheng and Jin and Hu, and they were not even as many people as they saw or sucked along the way. This is probably because although Longcheng is in danger, it is not suitable for living in the surrounding area. And there are always people roaming around here. If they do not have the strength, it is really not safe.
Of course, this city is not completely unprepared. There are many figures shaking in the city and some surrounding balusters. I don’t know whether it is a thief or a whistlebrating force. But when the soldiers of the Fenwu Army rushed towards the city, the people did not show any signs of stubborn resistance, but fled out in groups.
He easily collected the most important pass on the Long Road. Even though Shen Yun was very nervous and had little sensitivity, he couldn't help but sigh: "The mountains and rivers are really steep, but if the country is forever, it still needs to rely heavily on manpower!"
Even an important city like Longcheng does not have that force to defend it. It is conceivable that the people in Longshan are dissatisfied. Although there is still a lack of detailed and in-depth understanding of the situation in Longshan, Chen Yun will naturally not be polite after realizing the most basic situation.
His troops had nearly ten thousand soldiers. In addition to the 4,000 soldiers of Fenwu and Yangwu, even the civil servants were selected as the brave and powerful force of Guanzhong. In addition, some of the Jin Hus slept on the way, the army entered Longcheng and temporarily stationed.
On the one hand, Chen Yun sent hundreds of elite soldiers down the Luoyangchuan to visit the situation, on the other hand, reported the military situation to the back road, and asked more troops to garrison along the Long Road to strengthen control and control of the passage. He himself personally took charge of Longcheng and directed the soldiers to repair the city defense as soon as possible. As long as he could control the fortress of Longcheng, he would attack Longshang one day earlier or one day later, the difference was not very big.
As the royal army settled in Longcheng, signs of riots soon occurred between the surrounding countryside, and there were many people gathered in the mountains and valleys to see each other secretly, and they did not dare to approach, nor did they have any actual contact with the royal army.
"The terrain on Long is strange and steep, and the flat and widened far away from Zhongzhou. The rings of Guanzhong are strong, and the canal beams are circling like intestines. In the old days, the ancient times were only surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the roads were blocked and the roads were rarely deep and deep. Because there were many people between the valleys and ridges, there were many people who transformed from the outside, and were secretly arranged and far from the king's way. Only those who could be strongly conquered and driven, and it was difficult to enforce the law and rule the herds..."
Du He's cousin Du Mi avoided disaster in Hexi in the past year, and there were also experiences of going to Longshang. Therefore, this time when Shen Yun entered Longshang, he also followed the army and guided the situation. In addition to Du Mi, there were still nearly 100 guides in the team, and not everyone was a generalist, but they gathered their intelligence and could also involve all aspects of Longshang.
Those who were peeking at the movements of the royal army gradually understood through the introduction of Du Mi and others. Most of them were Di, Qiang and Hu people living in the surrounding mountains and fields. They never knew what the king's law was, and their travels were almost wild and beastly.
This evaluation is not a slander or belittlement, but because these people have been in barren lands for a long time, less stable communication than outside world, and lack the concept of system and education beyond survival. The most effective way to communicate with them is to establish a powerful and invincible authority through violent conquest, so that they can be driven and instilled in the concept of education.
As for their Yin Gathering, they may not have the courage to be enemies with the King's Army. The greater chance is that the King's Army's military is too excellent, which aroused their greed. Because of the Yellow Bird's thoughts, they planned to take advantage of the battle between the King's Army and other forces and gain profit.
Chen Yun couldn't help but be happy when he heard the guides' psychological analysis of the Hu people. He had never known what patience was, and he could not tolerate these Hu people who dared to have such a heart.
So while repairing the city defense, Chen Yun also signaled the soldiers and generals to pile up a lot of supplies in the plains outside the city, directly exposed to the surrounding Hu people. Sure enough, the Hu people exposed their greed and began to move towards Longcheng, and some brave people even approached several miles away from Longcheng.
Seeing that these Hu people were so greedy and forgot about their lives, they had already gathered in the corner of the city and rushed out, circled the city and swept it.
The Hu people were quite strong. Seeing the Fenwu Feiqiu rushed over, there were even many people waving sticks and shouting for counterattack. The number of these Hu soldiers was quite large and small, with thousands of teams of all sizes. Perhaps they realized that they had many people, and most of them did not escape far away but attacked.
However, these already messy mobs did not even have basic formations and their equipment was extremely simple. How could they resist the attack of the elite Fenwu soldiers? The Fenwu army was too lazy to use crossbows and rushed into the crowd directly. After some impact and harvest, there were hundreds of corpses in the wild.
Only then did the Hu people realize that their combat effectiveness was not at the same level and began to flee. However, how could the Fenwu Army let them advance and retreat freely? After some encirclement and harvest, they intercepted nearly a thousand prisoners and drove them to the city with whips.
This level of battle was like a joke. Chen Yun went out to inspect these prisoners from the city and found that although these Hu soldiers had no rules, if they were specific to each person, there were many burly and powerful brave men.
"There are many brave soldiers in Long, but they are major generals. These Hu soldiers gathered and dispersed sand, and walking alone was stubborn stones. If they were suppressed by the general, they would pick up Ding Li and tame them deeply, and soon they would become a brave army."
Du Mi did not belittle these Hu soldiers, but gave a very pertinent evaluation: "So in the past, Chen An showed his power, and many of the Hu troops were in charge of the people, and even attacked each other with Han and Zhao, which was almost a big disaster."
"What Mr. Du said is true."
Shenyun walked around these prisoners for a while, and saw that there were still many Hu soldiers in it, and glaring at him, he couldn't help but feel that it would be far from being a few days of merit to train these Hu soldiers into respectable and good war soldiers.
"Let's first take these disciples into service, and those who resist or flee privately will be beheaded directly."
Chen Yun gave a casual order and sent hundreds of military soldiers around the city to drive away the Hu soldiers. He was about to retreat to the city, but suddenly someone among the prisoners shouted.
Chen Yun turned his head and asked someone to pull out the Hu soldiers. The people kept making strange noises, but he couldn't understand at all, so he turned his head and looked at Du Mi. Du Mi listened for a moment and said embarrassedly: "The Hus are so messy, and it's really hard for me to identify."
Fortunately, there were many guides in the army, and some people understood the expressions of these Hu soldiers and took a military talisman from one of them and presented them with them: "The Hu soldiers Chen Yan was originally a good Hu who was ordered by the king. When they saw the king's army entering the country, they led the crowd to approach and planned to surrender to the army..."
Chen Yun took the military talisman that had been rusty, carefully identified it for a long time, and asked the guide group behind him, and realized that the military talisman was actually taught by the Han Dynasty. After interrogating it, he realized that the military talisman was the one who had originally lived in the depths of Longshan Mountain. Ju Yan's ancestors had also been supervised by the strong Han Dynasty. This military talisman has been passed down in the tribe for more than ten generations. As the number of Hu tribes on the border of Longshan Mountain became smaller, they migrated to the surrounding area of Longcheng.
When Chen Yun heard these old stories about Long Shang in Qiang and Hu, he couldn't help but sigh that the world was impermanent and the turbulent changes. Although he did not believe the saying that the Hu people wanted to join the army, his thoughts were also pulled towards the glorious years of the strong Han Dynasty. He couldn't help but sigh: "We are brave and brave, and we will revive the king's business, but we don't know if we can regain the glory of the Han Dynasty in our lifetime!"
The Hu people were still begging for mercy over and over again, and the word "Han" became clearer and clearer, which inevitably made Chen Yun and the soldiers around him even more hate the Huns and Hu enemies who defiled the reputation of the powerful Han.
However, this emotion didn't need to be patient for too long, and soon the target of venting appeared. After several days of entering Longcheng, with the grasp of the surrounding situation, the scope of activities of the front-line scouts became farther and farther, and a military situation was reported. It was said that a Hu people were flowing north along the river in the south, and the main force of the soldiers was to slaughter all the people.
In addition to restoring the old land in the west, the king's army had another important task, which was to destroy the head and cause chaos and overthrow the thieves. After discovering the traces of the enemy, Chen Yun left the deputy general and Du Mi and others to stay in the back road and continue to repair Longcheng. He personally led two thousand elite soldiers to go straight to Lueyangchuan to prepare for the battle against the enemy Hu.
There are steep mountains on both sides of the Lueyang River, and the terrain is like a heavy axe being cut out from the mountains, which is particularly stunning and spectacular. Although there are many channels on the left and right of the river flow into the mountains, if a large-scale march is launched, only this river flow main road can carry out large-scale march.
The two armies hedged north and south, and soon after, the scouts had a practical touch and their understanding began to deepen.
The south road came to slaughter all the people. The general was named Wang Zhuo. In addition to his slaughtering each family, he was actually the general of Jie Zhao in Longshang in the early years. As Jie Zhao collapsed, Wang Zhuo gradually broke away from the control of Shi Sheng in Guanzhong and was active in Longshang as an independent force.
