Royal Road - Chapter 166

[Chapter 165 | City]

“More than 100 houses were burnt down in Yangyi City, and there were still more than 1,000 surrendered soldiers, mostly Jin troops who had surrendered to the city.” After only two days, Yiyan returned with his troops and brought back the captured surrendered soldiers.

Ge Hong and a thousand soldiers were stationed in Yangyi City.

“Is there a general in the army?” Liang Feng frowned.

He had also heard from Linghu Kuang before that it was a few generals from aristocratic families who surrendered.

“Before the siege of the city, there was a rebellion in Yangyi, and those people were all killed by the Huns.” This is the most official statement, but in fact, it was Ge Hong and him who made the decision together.

Soldiers can stay, but generals who surrender are unreliable.

If you turn back and meet the enemy again, and go to the city again, it is really impossible to defend against it.

As soon as Liang Feng heard this, he knew it was the inside story, and he couldn’t help but relax: “That’s good. It’s just a city in Yangyi, and now it’s not easy to defend. Is there enough food and grass in the city?”

Yangyi is now under enemy occupation Although there is still a county in the district, if you want to farm under the eyes of the enemy, I am afraid there is no hope, and you can only live on supplies.

To truly restore the county government, we have to wait for the Huns to retreat.

“The food and grass were burnt in the war, but it’s still enough.” Yi Yan replied.

“That’s good.” Liang Feng only thought about it, and said to Duan Qin next to him, “Go back and send General Linghu to Jinyang to report. We must open the channel as soon as possible and get in touch with Jinyang.”

This is the top priority.

Even if Sima Teng left Bingzhou, the state’s headquarters and camp were still in Jinyang.

Only by opening up the news network as soon as possible and getting in touch with the defenders in the city can it be convenient for later actions.

This task is more suitable for Linghu Kuang, who was born in a powerful state in Bingzhou.

Duan Qin had a clear mind and nodded immediately: “Don’t worry, my lord, I am now the uncle of General Linghu who is stationed in Jinyang. But this way, the news of the victory will also be reported to Duke Dongying.

” Can’t hide it either.

Liang Feng stammered: “Why didn’t you tell the court of such a big victory? It’s just that the battle in Chang’an is fierce, so Duke Dongying may not turn back to Bingzhou.”

Only one battle was won, and there is no telling what the situation will be in the future.

Even if Sima Teng grows more courage, he may not come back.

But not in a war, how many victories would it be?

Once Bingzhou settles down, I am afraid that someone will come to pick peaches immediately.

This is simply a difficult problem to solve.

Liu Yuan is naturally an enemy, and the Sima family is not necessarily a friend.

Coupled with such a bizarre battle case as a solar eclipse, his life will probably be even more difficult.

But everything has been done, and Liang Feng will not be entangled now. The more important question is, has this battle achieved the expected purpose?

“In addition to the first wave of reinforcements, did the Xiongnu send troops?” Liang Feng asked.

“Never!” Yi Yan replied succinctly, “Only a few teams of outposts came. Even the approaching army has retreated ten miles, so it should not be attacking the city again.”

Another solar eclipse and another thunderstorm were enough to frighten Any sane person would be put off by it.

This is what Liang Feng wanted!

“That’s very good! The spring is about to start, and I ordered the ten counties to whip the spring and start farming! There is also too little rain this year, so we must pay attention to drought prevention and start the killing of locusts as soon as possible.” Time, we must collect a few more buckets of grain this year!

“Spring ploughing is not a problem, but now the military system of the Party should also change.” What Duan Qin is concerned about is not just about farming.

Today, the composition of the soldiers of the Shangdang is too complicated.

A large number of Liangfu family soldiers were imported into the army and the imperial army, which brought not only the improvement of combat power, but also the chaos of the system.

The Liangfu Zhengbing enjoys the tax-free military field system, while the court generals are paid salaried. How to balance the relationship between the two is a problem.

And with the continuous increase of military strength, the number of troops has also changed.

Since the Three Kingdoms, there has been a trend of flooding in the ranks of generals. In the Jin Dynasty, the army was full of only 1,500 people.

Now, after several expansions, the battalion weaving set up by the Liang Mansion has returned to the number of thousand people in the Eastern Han Dynasty. If it is expanded further, it must become an army.

“Take advantage of the reorganization during the spring ploughing period, and carry out the military exemption system. As for the imperial soldiers under Yiyan, they must also think about incorporating their ideas into the system.” Liang Feng pondered for a moment, and finally said.

Don’t fight, just in time to reform|reform the military system.

In the future, the number of his men will only increase, and he can no longer pay attention to it.

But having said that, I had previously won the title of Xianghou, and now I have won another one, I am afraid that I will be promoted to the county.

It would not be a problem to expand the number of private soldiers under his command by 10%.

Even if Sima Teng is reluctant to do things for face, he still has to do it.

Otherwise, if others are not in Bingzhou, how can we use people to fight?

“Xiaoguan knows.” Duan Qin said.

With a flick of his fingertips on the table, Liang Feng stood up: “Go ahead, you must take good care of the rest time in the past few months!” I just

hope those guys surnamed Sima can fight a little harder. Don’t find time to mess with him.

※

“Shangdang won a big victory, and he hid back in Yangyi?” Sima Teng couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Di Bao.

When he escaped from Bingzhou, it wasn’t that he didn’t see the horror of the Huns.

How could Liang Zixi win two games in just half a year?

!

Now that all the documents for the application of merit have been sent to the desk, how can such a victory not be rewarded?

But he was rewarded, how could he be reconciled!

After carefully reading the good news twice, Sima Teng’s expression darkened.

Actually raising troops on Zhengdan, and catching up with the solar eclipse, how could this be a good omen?

Seeing that Sima Teng’s expression was wrong, Director Gao hurriedly said: “General, this is a great victory, and no reward is not enough to reassure the army!”

It was precisely this point that irritated him the most.

Sima Teng snorted coldly: “Of course you will be rewarded! Promotion and rank, allocating money and rations! Let Prefect Liang guard the Shangdang!

”

It was clear that Liang Zixi was to be turned on the defensive, and he was not allowed to participate in the battle against the Xiongnu at will.

Using such a method, it is not impossible to prevent a capable minister from making meritorious deeds.

But the timing always seemed a little off.

Gao Zhuzhu hesitated for a moment, and finally did not speak, but said: “Shangdang has few soldiers, and you should stick to the top. When the chaos in Chang’an is wiped out, Duke Dongying can return to Bingzhou and take charge of the overall situation.”

This is what Sima Teng likes to hear.

Looking a little better, he opened his mouth and said: “The King of Hejian sent Zhang Fang’s head a few days ago, and he wanted to make peace, but he was turned away by Brother A. Chang’an won’t be able to keep it for long.”

This also developed, Also closely related to him.

Although he fled from Bingzhou in a hurry, Sima Teng came with soldiers, and this team immediately restored the East Sea King’s camp, which had already fallen apart.

Afterwards, all parties fought and provoked for several months, and the men and horses of the Hejian Wang family began to show a tendency to collapse.

Originally there were still 100,000 troops in Guanzhong, but King Hejian was greedy for life and feared death, so he missed the best chance to fight, and only Zhang Fang was left to stick to the supremacy.

This gave the King of the East Sea a great opportunity, and Wang Jun sent several thousand Xianbei cavalry to help out.

The reason for everything is that Zhang Fang made his own decision and welcomed the emperor into Chang’an.

Zhang Fang himself was ruthless and ferocious, and now his power has grown so much that he is out of control at all. In addition, the solar eclipse that appeared on Zhengdan day made the King Hejian even more terrified.

So he didn’t stop doing it, and he assigned Zhang Fang’s former benefactor Zhi Fu to go to Zhang Fang’s camp to take the head of this fierce god.

Presenting the head in a brocade box, he begged the East Sea King for peace.

Unexpectedly, the other party had no intention of accepting it at all, and instead urged the troops to move towards Guanzhong.

In this way, the loss of the general, and no forgiveness in exchange, the King of Hejian is in jeopardy.

For Sima Teng, this is of course excellent news.

Given his contributions in this war, it should be no problem to be named a king.

As long as they fight in the final attack on Chang’an, it may not be impossible to get ahead.

When the elder brother welcomes the emperor back, he will have spare energy to deal with the tiger-like Huns in Bingzhou.

Thinking of this, Sima Teng said: “Since Yangyi has been recaptured, I ordered Sima Yu, Zhou Liang, Shi Xian and other troops stationed in Jinyang to attack Lishi again! As long as Lishi can be captured, old man Liu Yuan will not be able to make waves. There is also Shangdang, which should provide food and fodder for the army!”

This order was extremely sinister.

Liang Zixi should not be exposed to the military exploits, and he should be responsible for the army’s back road.

It’s really not that bad.

However, Master Gao knew that this was the result of Sima Teng’s forbearance and forbearance.

Who let Liang Zixi win so easily?

Didn’t he demolish the face of Duke Dongying who abandoned the state and fled?

But think about it, the war in Chang’an should not last long.

Even so, there is nothing wrong with it.

When the King of the East Sea regains the Son of Heaven, Duke Dongying, who is the younger brother, will also be able to rise in status.

The withdrawal of Bingzhou this time is really according to God’s will.

As for the two victories of the Shangdang, in the final analysis, it is not a bad thing that Dong Ying Gong appoints people based on their merits.

If you go back and forth like this, won’t you get all the benefits?

Not daring to be neglected, Master Gao picked up the pen and quickly wrote the document.

This order crossed the hundreds of thousands of troops under the King of the East China Sea and headed for Shangdang.
