Chapter 229 Post-war trends
Clean the battlefield, reduce the combat readiness on the battlefield, take away the iron weapons, and remove the wooden handles from the spears and spears with wooden handles. It is difficult to transport the crossbows, destroy the crossbow machine, take away the big strings, smash the crossbow bed to pieces, leather armor
The stone helmets were all cleaned up.
A large hole was dug, and the corpses on the battlefield were filled and buried. Hundreds of vultures were summoned by death during the process. Liu Cang did not catch these vultures anymore. This kind of raptor, whose feces has a sterilizing effect, is now in Liangzhou.
It’s still not advisable to catch them too cleanly.
There is another uninhabited land in Liangzhou. Maybe in a year or two, people will come here to settle and multiply.
It only took an hour to encounter and kill the enemy, but it took several days to clean up the battlefield. Xima Town was completely slaughtered, and these Yi Conghu didn't even leave any women behind.
The iron armor needed to be transported. To put it simply, these were money, and their value far exceeded the gold coins found on Hu Bing's body.
The killed horses and wild animals also needed to be disposed of, including thousands of wild wolves, hundreds of dead tigers, and thousands of dead horses including horses with broken legs waiting to be slaughtered. In addition to the vultures that were buried directly, this was also a considerable batch of meat.
The weather was too hot and there was not enough salt collected in the town, so Liu Cang asked Guo Bang to send people to nearby towns to collect salt for curing meat.
In the First World War, Liu Cang harvested more than 5,000 undamaged war horses. The forging skills of Hu Dao and iron shields were average, but he also provided Liu Cang with a large number of iron tools and Hu bows.
Those folded Hu bows alone are enough to organize tens of thousands of miscellaneous archers. If the infantry are distributed to accompany them, the arrow rain before the two armies clash will be terrifying enough.
The Flying Bear Camp, the slave soldiers, the wolf army, and Liu Cang's command all have more than a thousand cavalry, and all the war horses are wearing the cavalry armor.
There are also more than 2,000 war horses equipped with battle armor. Huang Zhongyi can be said to be drooling after seeing all the gadgets in the Hu family.
These things all belonged to Liu Cang. Not to mention Guo Si, Zhang Wen, and even Liu Hong could not ask for them from Liu Cang.
Because although he was begging for thieves, after all, Liu Cang did not lead any soldiers and fought completely independently. Compared with the livestock outside Meiyang City earlier, it was more natural for him to take advantage of these war profits.
In addition to the damaged horse armor that can be repaired, it is estimated that five thousand assault cavalry can be gathered, and everyone in the Flying Bear Camp can't close their mouths.
If you need iron, you need iron, and if you need horses, you need horses. Liu Cang felt that his family was now out of poverty.
Although he was a little surprised when he asked Guo Si for Jia Xu, Guo Si did not hesitate too much and readily agreed to Jia Xu's departure.
Guo Bin now has a low status under Dong Zhuo. Under Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu and Li Ru are the most trusted by Dong Zhuo, followed by Hua Xiong and Zhang Ji who are valued by Dong Zhuo.
Needless to say, Jia Xu could only accompany Guo Si. Jia Xu surrendered to the army and came under Guo Bin's command as normal. Guo Si didn't even need to ask Dong Zhuo's opinion about Jia Xu's defection to Liu Cang.
When Liu Cang gathered around the battlefield, Guo Si reported to Zhang Wen's headquarters.
Liu Cang's troops were ambushed by rebels on the banks of Tianshui Lake and defeated 50,000 enemy soldiers.
The rebel leader Li Wenhou was beheaded, and Sima Liu Cang of the left army led his Feixiong camp to massacre Huang Zhongyi, who had followed Hu, and Huang Zhongyi, who had joined Hu in the Han Dynasty, was removed from his name.
Well, 50,000 enemies were defeated, which was a little overpriced, but for Tu Jinhuang Zhongyi Conghu, no one would compare with that number of enemies defeated.
Liangzhou was shaken, and the battle report was immediately sent to Luo with the head of Marquis Li Wen.
Zhang Wen's troops marched into Hanyang, and Liu Cang drove the wolves to march. The wolf army had made great achievements in controlling the wolves and was included in the Han army. Liu Cang was too lazy to cover up the animal disasters and other things.
Liu Cang led his army to Hanyang. The herds of animals cleared the way, the horses galloped, and they carried more than ten thousand cattle and sheep. Along the way, nomads in villages and towns looked at each other with courtesy. No one was disrespectful wherever they passed.
In Hanyang County, there was a scene of wolves grazing outside the city. Liu Cang returned to the army. Five more tigers died due to difficulty in recovering from their injuries. All the members of the Flying Bear Battalion tamed eagles and withered away, leaving five thousand wolves in the end.
After returning to camp and reorganizing, the tigers joined the army. Liu Cang's command assigned the military camp close to the shady area of the city wall. No one in the army dared to raise any objection to the tigers.
Five hundred people, these five hundred people slaughtered Yi Conghu without taking any prisoners. The so-called Flying Bear Camp was more ferocious than a tiger!
It was July, and Bao Hong's campaign to deliver military rations was only moderately successful, but there was little delay in delivering tribute livestock to Liu Cang.
A large number of volunteers appeared in the counties and counties in Jieting and Qinchuan to join the army, and tens of thousands of volunteers gathered in a short period of time. They set up camp around the cities, villages and towns, raising the Han flag, hoping to defeat the rebels and return peace to Liangzhou.
Many powerful people in Liangzhou went to the army to pay a visit to Liu Cang. The powerful people in Liangzhou did not like Liu Cang? How could it be possible? Who said that? Many powerful people asked Liu Cang if he still had the intention to clean up the dangerous areas at the foothills in the near future.
Liangzhou is a very pragmatic land. Regardless of whether they are Hu or Han, for most of the people here, since rebellion has become a loss-making business, it is useless to rebel! It would be better for the rebels to die as soon as possible.
The counterattack against the rebel army was a trivial matter, but outside Liangzhou, the imperial city of Luoyang was not at peace either.
There are many visitors in Luyuan. In addition to visiting Cai Yong's scholars, businessmen from all over the world come here to discuss the purchase of fur goods and Hu Gong.
No one cared about the pigs and sheep, but some people tried to buy horses and cattle. Leather armor appeared in Luyuan Market, and the transaction of iron weapons was rejected by Zhang Xiu Niang.
Some people observed the daily military training in Luyuan, and some asked the villagers in Wu Village to inquire about Liu Cang's beast control. The villagers had no taboos and boasted about the miracle of artificial insemination of fish roe. The visitors were confused and did not mention it, but the Luyuan market became more and more lively.
.
In Luoyang Palace and Fanglin Garden, Emperor Liu Hong held the Liangzhou battle report in one hand and the inventory of goods sent by the young master in the other hand. His expression alternated between joy and sigh, and the changes were very complicated.
The battle report is very simple. Since Liu Cang destroyed the Yi Cong Hu in Huangzhong, everything went smoothly in suppressing the rebellion, and the food supply was unobstructed. In other words, there were enthusiastic calls for the rebels and Yi Cong from all over the country.
The old boy Zhang Wen started to tremble, but the battle report in front of him contained something special.
Many officials from counties and counties in various parts of Liangzhou expressed gratitude to Liu Cang for controlling wild beasts in the mountains, and many people from the countryside commended Liu Cang for his filial piety and integrity.
It was only then that Liu Hong suddenly remembered that Liu Cang was about to reach his crowning age.
Damn it, this kid hasn’t even reached the crown yet!
Counting on his fingers, how many people has this kid killed since he came into the world? Liu Hong was really not sure whether it was a blessing or a curse for the Han Dynasty to have such a murderous talent.
The other list was simpler. Liu Cang, who was fighting in the field, presented what he had gained from defeating the enemy: gold, five thousand, money, one million, and various leather goods and gems.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hu Qiang likes to decorate gems, and Liu Cang couldn't tell where he picked some.
This person who suppressed the rebellion did not ask for anything, but he could also send money home. Liu Hong felt that Liu Cang was not a bad person!
After receiving the money, Liu Hong was somewhat unwilling to give in. I heard that Liu Cang also brought a large number of livestock, forget about sheep and so on, but these cattle and horses, well, and those sudden cavalry.
But Liu Cang was so considerate, why did he ask for this animal? Liu Hong was very distressed.
"Alas~" Liu Hong sighed and put down the memorial in his hand.
"Your Majesty?" Zhang Rang asked softly from the side, and Sun Zhang quietly took a few steps closer to Liu Hong.
"I, the King of Dongping, are really dead. Speaking of Liu Cang and Guan, he should have some family fortune." Liu Hong turned his face and looked at Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang's expression was the same, and he naturally guessed the specific details of what Liu Hong said.
.
"Father, I heard that Liu Cang was raising livestock to feed wolves. Many people in the court were worried that the wolves were out of control and wanted Liu Cang to destroy the wolves. But this wolf pack can not only deter the herdsmen, but also be of great use in clearing out harmful animals in Liangzhou. I
At the moment, I can't make up my mind." Liu Hong said to Zhang Rang again.
"Haha, Your Majesty, how can this wolf be fed well? That boy Liu Cang is so stingy." Zhang Rang chuckled.
"That boy has been afraid of poverty since he was a child. He feels sorry for feeding wolves with cattle and sheep, and they often let the wolves eat each other. Yi Laonu thinks that he will die soon. Those people in the court don't want to share your Majesty's worries.
These are unfounded things." Zhang Rang shook his head and smiled.
"Oh? Isn't this too cruel?" Liu Hong suddenly realized and turned to frown.
"Liu Cang is young after all. Look, he has acquired a lot of weapons and war horses, but he has not captured any slaves. The tactics are so cruel that the children in Longxi, Hanyang, have stopped crying."
"Father, I need to teach him well in the future. Don't let him act violently. How can I reuse him if he is so tough?"
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true." Zhang Rang looked at Liu Hong respectfully, with admiration in his eyes.
"Well, speaking of it, this boy is really good at fighting and brave. With only Qu's troops, he eliminated Huang Zhongyi from Hu, and he also surrendered countless good horses, his cattle and sheep.
"Liu Hong nodded and then turned to point out something.
".
"Zhang Rang remained silent, suppressing the urge to roll his eyes. He even told Liu Cang's stinginess in advance that our majesty still wanted to touch Liu Cang's livestock.
There are tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and sheep don't matter, but these cattle and horses.
Even if Zhang Rang sticks to Liu Hong again, he will not be willing to give him thousands of cattle and horses from his own pocket, which are the foundation of the clan.
If you had known this, wouldn't you have allocated a battalion of elite soldiers to Liu Cang? It was rare for Zhang Rang to complain.
