Chapter 1158: Consciousness as a chess piece(1/2)
Looking at the corps made of gold in front of him, Zhang Yue felt very passionate!
Although the soldiers are only six thousand, they are already the sharpest bayonet in the world.
With Yingyang Bree in hand, Zhang Yue felt that there was no power in the world that could stop him!
Upon climbing to the prepared general platform, Zhang Yue looked at the army in his sight, took a deep breath, and then said aloud: "You guys, ordinary people say: Raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while! And you and others are even more civilians who are the people who work hard to raise them with blood and sweat. You eat rice, noodles, wine and meat in the morning, and wear fresh clothes. The salary and military pay are three times that of other troops..."
In order to cultivate the Yingyang Brigade and to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
Zhang Yue never hesitated about the expenses of the army.
Most of the profits from Juyan's trade in the past year were filled in the daily expenses of Yingyang Travel.
This ensures that the soldiers of the Yingyang Brigade can receive fine rice and white flour, beef, mutton, fish, various birds, poultry, and eggs at every meal, and they even take turns to take turns.
In order to ensure the nutritional supply of the soldiers, the Juyan people planted 20,000 acres of vegetables.
Courgette (cucumber), leek, cabbage, tomato, radish, carrot...
Zhang Yue lets people plant any vegetables that can be found.
In addition, soldiers of the Eagle-Yang Brigade can even get fruit supply every three days.
Watermelon, melon, pear, plum, peach, dates, and various fruits are supplied according to season.
Money was spent like water, and finally caught all the elite and brave men in Hexi in one go!
Now, the whole Hexi knows that as long as you can choose to join Yingyang Travel, you can eat rice, flour and meat every day.
The temptation of fine rice, white flour and wine and meat is huge. Therefore, although Yingyang Leopard has not yet fought, it is known throughout Hexi that Yingyang Leopard is the best in the world!
Every person who is determined to achieve meritorious deeds is sharpening his head and trying to squeeze into the Eagle and Yangyou to get a seat.
As a result, the Yingyang Brigade's military source was getting better and better, the training was getting better and better, and the morale was getting higher and higher.
Just snowballed like this, and it has been now.
"Now, the Huns are untrustworthy, both cruel and violent. They create killings in Dayuan, and abandon their promises and destroy their trust. They attack Wusun Kunmo, who is protected by the emperor. So Princess Jieyou came thousands of miles to ask His Highness the Grand Prince. His Highness was furious..." Zhang Yue pulled out his sword and asked his generals loudly: "Can you be so untrustworthy, cruel and unrighteous, can you tolerate such untrustworthy people?"
The answer is naturally roaring in unison: "No!"
After intentionally intervening in the Dayuan War, Zhang Yue had already launched the propaganda machine he arranged in the Yingyang Brigade, from the lieutenant, the army Sima, the army waiter, to the sergeant commander at the bottom, all the officers of the Yingyang Brigade brainwashed the soldiers continuously every day.
It promotes the atrocities of the Huns in Dayuan and recalls the actions of the Huns when they ravaged the Han family decades ago.
New hatreds and old hatreds linger in the hearts of the soldiers.
The Han family's actions and policies were also subtly influenced and taught them to the hearts of Yingyang Travel.
The barbarians were unrighteous, the Huns were cruel, and they led beasts to eat people. Tens of millions of people were trapped in the fire and water, and the people were in danger of being overwhelmed.
More importantly, if the Huns succeed, their strength will definitely increase greatly. At that time, the enemy may harass the Han Dynasty again, causing the people to suffer disasters and causing trouble to the hometown and the hometown to be in danger of sleeping.
From this, the power of justice filled the entire army, even a small soldier now knew that he was going to fight the Huns. The purpose of fighting the Huns was not only to save people, but also to prevent the Huns from recovering and harming the Han Dynasty again!
Of course, in addition, there are a lot of military achievements and generous rewards.
Therefore, everyone is full of fighting spirit and fighting spirit.
Seeing this, Zhang Yue raised the sword in his hand and ordered loudly: "Get out! Kill the enemy! Pease the rebellion! Promote peace!"
On the ninth day of the winter of the third year of Yanhe, General Yang of Han Ying, Zhang Yi, General Yang of Han, issued a document from Kucha in the name of the Huns' "not following the king's orders, killing civilians without reason, and attacking Wusun for no reason". Therefore, Kucha King Gao Zhi and Quli King Zhao Zhong (both of them changed their surnames to change their Han surnames and even sent envoys to Chang'an to request that their names be naturalized as Zongzheng, but they have not received a response yet), responded and led troops to follow.
As a result, the Western Regions shook and the world was shocked!
………………………………
At this time, resistance in Guishan City thousands of miles away had gradually stopped.
Li Ling led his personal guards to enter this heroic city with a history of hundreds of years.
He looked at the burning houses and the collapsed walls, and finally spoke after a long time: "Tell me my order, no harm to prisoners, no killing or robbery, strong women will fight, and ordered Jiankun Wanqin as the military supervisor. Anyone who finds that he does not obey the order will be killed without mercy!"
"Your will!" Wang Yuan immediately took the order and left, and no one on the left and right nobles were opposed.
Several men standing beside Li Ling tremblingly quickly stepped forward, knelt down and kissed the land beside Li Ling, kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you, Master, thank you!"
These people are all from Dayuan.
To be precise, they were one of the top figures in the city.
Li Ling did not conquer Guishan City by force.
In fact, the sturdy and dangerous situation of Guishan City is far beyond Li Ling's expectations.
The car bombarded the car for more than half a month, but it only collapsed a few arrow towers. The city walls were not as good as many potholes.
But there is no damage in general.
If we want to attack for a strong attack, without a month of bloody battle and pay a great price, the Hun cavalry would not be able to enter this hard city as hard as a wall.
The reason why we can capture this city so quickly is to persuade us to surrender.
More than ten days ago, after defeating the Wusun people, Li Ling did not chase them much and led his army back.
Then he ordered people to display thousands of corpses of Wusun and Kangju soldiers under Guishan City, and threw their heads into the city with chariots. A letter of persuasion written by the Dayuan nobles who were captured by Li Lingming was also thrown into the city.
The letter clearly stated that reinforcements have been eliminated and the defenders no longer need to stick to them.
At the same time, Li Ling also changed his words and no longer insisted on the toughness of "surrender or not surrender, all of them will die". Instead, he gave up his means and made various promises.
He promised that as long as he gave up resistance, the Xiongnu army would not massacre the city after entering the city.
He also promised to allow the nobles in the city to retain their property and slaves.
At the same time, he promised to retain the system of the Dayuan Kingdom after the war, but the king would be the regent of the Huns.
Seeing these conditions, Li Ling especially proposed that he personally served as the King of Dayuan.
Many nobles were immediately moved, and the will of Guishan defenders to resist quickly declined.
So, after a lot of struggle, before the deadline issued by Li Ling, most of the Dayuan nobles chose to surrender. Just like their predecessors more than ten years ago, they opened the city gate, put down their weapons, knelt in front of the conquerors, and prayed for the other party to show great mercy.
Of course, Li Ling was very compassionate.
After entering the city, he immediately began to rectify order and stop all kinds of robberies, forced women to commit harm.
However, soldiers were sent to dig out the royal palace, treasury, shops, treasury and cellars of Dayuan, and dig out the wealth.
Although, this violates the promise, it is harmless.
The people of Dayuan have long been enlightened that not all conquerors will keep their promises like the Han Dynasty and will not violate them.
In fact, the Huns only need money and life, which has made them very grateful.
"Great Master..." A Dayuan nobleman lay at the feet of Li Ling and said flatteringly: "Now, you have entered the city. Please go to the palace quickly, ascend the throne, and be the King of Dayuan, the protector of all Ionians..."
This nobleman was the former lord of Guishan City, with noble blood. His ancestors were related to the great conqueror Alexander. In the past, he refused to even give face to the King of Dayuan and loved to look at people with his nostrils. But now, like a dog, he was waving his tail at the feet of Li Ling, begging for mercy, and trying all his favors and flattery.
But he is still reserved.
Another nobleman, holding Li Ling's thigh, sings: "Oh, great master, supreme conqueror, omnipotent savior, king of kings, you are my sun god, the immortal Apollo... My ancestor was Antioch of Oretis, and I had the honor to serve you. Now, I can actually take over the duties of my ancestors and serve you again... The humble slave, I am extremely honored..."
This person's origin is extraordinary.
His ancestors can be traced back to Antioch, the court general of Philip II. Antioch had a son and later established the Seleucid Empire, which was called Seleucid I or Antioch I. This emperor was also a conqueror. In Greek history books, he regarded himself as the son of the sun god. He claimed to be his mother and the sun god Apollo, and thus gave birth to himself. The evidence was that he had a birthmark of an anchor, which was the token left to him by Apollo. Therefore, the royal family of the Seleucid Empire used the anchor as the family emblem.
The ancestors of this man were brothers from Seleucid I, which is based on genealogy evidence!
Therefore, his family was also one of the kings selected in the Dayuan Kingdom and had the qualifications to become kings.
But now, this former royal member, like a pug, acted coquettishly at the feet of Li Ling, trying to get his master's love.
But Li Ling neither knew the glory of these people's family, nor did he want to know.
Therefore, most of these nobles fed the dogs.
Fortunately, he still needs these people and their assistance to help Li Ling run the country, especially the knowledge, craftsmen, technology, and population in Guishan City all need these people to help organize, collaborate and utilize.
By converting these things into real combat power and wealth as soon as possible, Li Ling can help Li Ling resist the upcoming tsunami, Li Ling is very clear that the Wusun people are like dogs. After being beaten and hurt, they will definitely call their masters to end.
And the Princess Jieyou of Wusun is their trump card.
Once Princess Jieyou goes to the Han Dynasty, then the Han army and the General Ying Yang will inevitably go out of the frontier!
Li Ling knew that with the current power of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions, he was no match for the Han Dynasty at all, let alone that General Yang, who took action himself!
Therefore, defeating the Han army was a daydream, which was completely unrealistic. Even if it was a dream, defeating the Han army was not in Li Ling's option.
Because, if he doesn't even dare to have thoughts, he will have greed, and then he will be driven by greed and eventually ruin everything.
Therefore, Li Ling's idea was very simple to block the Han army on the battlefield, and then immediately licked.
I want money to give money, and I want people to give money to people.
Even when necessary, even the occupied Dayuan territory can be handed over.
As long as the Han Dynasty could allow him to preserve the population, wealth and technology he obtained, even if it was only a small part of it, he was already satisfied!
Because the wealth, population and technology accumulated by Dayuan for hundreds of years were enough for him to have a full meal with his Western Xiongnu.
However, the prerequisite for all this is that he must be on the front battlefield, not be beaten too badly by the Han army, and not even have the power to resist.
If that were the case, would the Han Dynasty still negotiate with him? Will he be given a chance to kneel down and lick him?
To be continued...
