Royal Road - Chapter 263

[Chapter 262 | City]

Counties in the state have been busy since May.

The summer harvest is the most important thing. After the wheat is harvested, there are still summer seeds.

During the busy farming season, men and women, young and old all have to work in the fields to protect against rain and locusts, so they don’t dare to delay for a moment.

However, in the Prefect’s Mansion, the most concern is not farming, but the nearby Youzhou.

Since the Xianbei troops entered Jizhou, the situation has become tense.

As the robbers were cleared one by one, Changshan, Zhongshan, Gaoyang and other countries in the north of Jizhou fell into Wang Jun’s hands one after another.

In particular, Changshan Kingdom’s strange hand has opened up the road from Jizhou to Bingzhou. As long as Wang Jun intends, he can immediately send his troops south and invade Bingzhou.

Will Wang Jun fight Bingzhou?

of course!

Now that the two governors have gone against their goals, war is only a matter of time.

And this time came faster than expected.

The news of the war between Sima Yue and Gou Xi, like an owl with wings, flew into Jinyang instantly.

“Wang Pengzu is going to send troops.” Zhang Bin said.

This is the best opportunity to send troops.

Sima Yuezhong betrayed his relatives and separated from his relatives, and his avatars were ineffective, and the ruling power of the imperial court was bound to decline further.

At this time, when they came to attack Bingzhou, no one dared to intervene.

And when Sima Yue has dealt with the rebellion, I am afraid that he will not be able to punish the two warlords.

Such a good opportunity, do not fight Bingzhou, do you want to help Sima Yue fight Gou Xi?

“If Wang Pengzu invades the hinterland of Bingzhou, big and small families, there will be chaos.” On the side, Sun Li said solemnly, “This battle must be limited to Leping!”

Sun Li took a long time to leave Bingzhou.

, but it was officially put into Liang Feng’s door, or after the release of the Tuen Tian decree.

A revised order to settle fields caused quite a stir in Bingzhou, and the number of fugitive slaves from each family alone numbered more than 10,000 people.

And it was Sun Li, who was born in a noble family, but relatively poor, the emerging official class who made the most effective use of the Tiantian decree.

Not every aristocratic family has countless villas.

In fact, many nobles, especially the high-level families, have no honors and titles, but have no assets, and they are not even comparable to some wealthy commoners.

Without money, how to keep slaves?

Therefore, when the big and small families swallowed the hidden households, they could only stare blankly and could not share any benefits.

However, these people have no money, but they have just obtained the rights through the appointment of the governor.

Sun Li offered suggestions and rewarded officials by approving the number of farmland cultivation and the number of troops stationed in each county.

He knows better than anyone that the clinging heart of this emerging class has also used this mentality to the extreme.

Once this trick is used, the decree is accessible, which is simply stunning.

One side is the newly appointed bureaucrats who want political achievements, and the other side is the miserable people who want to survive. Can we just hit it off?

However, this will inevitably offend a large number of nobles.

Sun Li’s position has also changed.

The addition of Sun Li made the Bingzhou Governor’s Office completely become Liang Feng’s personal team.

Sun Li’s words caused Zhang Bin to slightly decapitate: “Wang Jun was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan. If he wins a few battles, Taiyuan is afraid that things will change. In this battle, King Peng Zu’s intention is probably not to annex, but to exert pressure. Take Leping, and then attack Xinxing and Yanmen. In this way, Youzhou and Bingzhou can be connected together. In this way, you can form a pressure on Sizhou. Coupled with the chaos in Taiyuan, Shangdang is the foundation of the lord. . He is afraid that he is more willing to force the lord back to Shangdang and face the Huns alone.”

In a war, the most important thing is the combat intention.

Especially a state battle of this scale.

What does Wang Jun want?

Nothing more than the territory and population, as well as the coveted Luoyang city.

In fact, this contradiction has appeared as early as after the sudden emergence of Bingzhou.

Previously, the Great Wilderness of Bingzhou was in chaos again, and most of the population migrated to Youzhou, which provided Wang Jun with a lot of manpower and gave birth to his ambition to fight for hegemony.

But Bingzhou was gradually pacified, and there was another Buddha’s name hanging in front, and the refugees immediately turned their direction.

It’s not a one-man issue.

It can devour 30,000 or 40,000 refugees in one year, what kind of absorbing ability is it?

In addition to the dispute over the generation of counties, the two counties of Pingshu and Guangchang, which belonged to Youzhou, also experienced a population backflow.

How could Wang Jun let it continue to develop?

Therefore, at the moment when the lord refused to cooperate, Bingzhou became a stumbling block that had to be kicked out!

In the face of this situation, what is the Lord’s goal?

“When you enter Jingxing from Changshan, you can reach Leping. The first line of defense should be deployed in Shangai. Then Leping and Zhanxian are buffered. Shangdang and Taiyuan will be waiting. In the early stage of this war, the main thing is to stick to it. Lure the enemy deep. When the enemy army is tired and the mud is deep, then order General Yi to send troops from Jizhou to attack his back! This battle is a great opportunity to annex Jizhou and attack Youyan!” Zhang Bin said nothing. He hesitated and gave the answer.

Liang Feng needs more victory in a war than Wang Jun!

The rise of Bingzhou is only a matter of a year or two.

Although the Huns were repelled several times and the tide turned, they also took back the two counties of Xinxing and Yanmen.

But most people don’t really take this dilapidated place, and even the high gate escapes a clean and dilapidated place in their eyes.

That’s why the imperial court dared to point fingers at Bingzhou’s personnel arrangement over and over again, and those Bingzhou gentry who were touched by the land settlement order may not have no intention of making a fool of themselves.

Once Youzhou’s troops and horses are victorious, and they don’t even need to approach Taiyuan, the big and small nobles will be tempted to defect.

It is obviously more in line with the interests of the gentry to let a native Bingzhou Gaomen rule the state.

And what if Liang Feng wins?

You won’t even dare to touch Sima Yue, the Youzhou Iron Cavalry with a hundred thousand troops?

Those aristocratic families will immediately become domestic dogs and surrender to Liang Feng’s feet.

Sima Yue will also look at this rising Bingzhou again, and give him similar or even further treatment to Wang Jun.

This battle is the ultimate battle for the survival of Bingzhou!

How could Liang Feng not know the meaning of this battle?

Nodding slightly, he opened his mouth and asked, “How many troops are there in the army and the state?”

“The army is close to 40,000, the state army is 20,000, and there are 20,000 Shangdang soldiers. A total of 80,000 troops.” Duan Qin answered quickly.

The sharp increase in the army was still played by the order of the army.

However, half of them have just finished their training and have not yet been on the battlefield, so they should not be involved in important battles.

The state soldiers belonged to the imperial court generals of Linghusheng’s lineage, and they had more than enough defenses, but were somewhat lacking against the enemy.

The core is the Shangdang County soldiers.

These are the elites brought out by Yi Yan, Zhang He, Sun Jiao and others. They can be regarded as the extension of Liang’s family. They are completely loyal to Liang Feng himself and have strong fighting power.

“Transfer the troops from the commandery to the country of Leping. Linghu Kuang and Tian Yu each lead 10,000 prefecture troops and 10,000 troops to assist in the defense. The remaining soldiers and horses will stick to Shangdang and Taiyuan to guard against the Xiongnu’s sneak attack.” Liang Feng ordered.

It is not enough to fight against Youzhou, and also beware of the Xiongnu and Han sneak attacks behind you.

However, the Shangdang city defense system has been reinforced for two years, and it has long been impossible for anyone to break through.

This is 40,000 strong soldiers, how many troops will Wang Jun send to attack Bingzhou?

Liang Feng clenched his fists slightly: “This battle promises victory but not defeat. It’s also time, it’s time to try Bingzhou’s army!

”

Like a huge mill, churning along the Taihang Mountains.

Half a month later, 80,000 soldiers and horses entered Changshan County, crossed the narrow Jingxing, and entered the territory of Bingzhou.

All Xingdao, there are two entrances and exits.

Wang Jun captured Changshan Kingdom and naturally occupied the entrance to Jingxing, but the exit should still be in the hands of the Bingzhou army.

This time, the leader of the army, Wang Chang, thought that he was going to fight a battle in the Xingdao, and even made great preparations in advance.

Unexpectedly, they did not encounter half of the enemy soldiers.

“It seems that Bingzhou is afraid of our army’s might.”

In this attack on Bingzhou, the governor did his best.

Not only did they dispatch most of the troops and horses from Jicheng, but they also dispatched 30,000 elite cavalry from Jizhou.

With so many soldiers and horses, coupled with Fan Yang’s civilian service force, the external title of an army of 100,000 is a conservative figure.

At that time, with only half of the troops, they swept the city of Ye and broke through Chang’an. What was the country of Leping?

“Go ahead and attack Shang Ai first! Duan Shizi, I’m afraid you will be the striker this time.” Wang Chang smiled at the Xianbei man wearing bright armor beside him.

Duan Ji Lujuan was the son of Wang Jun’s cheap son-in-law Duan Wuwuchen, and he was also a strong general in the Xianbei army.

This time, the Xianbei Iron Cavalry was led by him and his younger brother Duan Wenyang.

It can be seen that Wang Jun attached great importance to the Battle of Bingzhou.

Looking at the not-so-tall city wall in front of him, Duan Ji and Lujuan nodded: “Don’t worry, supervisor, this city is only the size of a palm, and taking it is easy.”

In fact, Duan Ji and Lujuan didn’t pay much attention to Bingzhou.

At the beginning, Yecheng was like a piece of paper, and it was broken in a day.

After that, Chang’an can be won in just three or five days.

The Xianbei soldiers and horses swept across the state of Jin, and they had not yet encountered an enemy.

He was deeply ashamed of the inability to attack Daijun before, and he also saw the ruthless combat power of Tuoba’s team.

It can be inferred from this that when Bingzhou defeated the Xianbei of the Baibu and defeated the Xiongnu and Han kingdoms, it is impossible to say that there were also the results of the Xianbei people helping by the side.

How much stronger can such an army be than the ordinary Jin army?

And giving up Jingxing is even more proof.

In front of the Xianbei army, they didn’t even guard the best Xingdao, and they were completely discouraged!

But even if he was contemptuous, Duan Ji and Lujuan had never been sloppy in using troops.

After all the army had left the Xingdao, and after camping and resting, he ordered his love general Duan Moqi to gather 20,000 people and set off towards Ai.

Shangai is a city next to Jingxing, just like Shangdang Huguan, it can be used as a military village.

However, unexpectedly, the gate of this city was not closed, and there was a barracks under the city wall.

Why are these Bingzhou soldiers not like others, huddled in the city to defend?

Do you want to compete with them when you are in the city?

With a sneering smile on his lips, Duan Moqi waved his hand and said coldly, “Array, and defeat that barracks for me!”
