Royal Road - Chapter 338

[Chapter 337]

“Shi Le gave the head at Lijiabao? It was earlier than expected.” Liang Feng also sighed with relief when he saw the military report just handed over.

In order to kill Shi Le, the staff did not know how many plans were set.

Careful consideration and careful consideration are given to every possible variable.

And those family barriers in Yuzhou are just one of them.

It is still going very smoothly, and it will be a part of it that will be achieved ahead of schedule.

Speaking of which, this is also Zu Ti’s credit.

After he settled down in several counties around Luoyang, Zu Ti began to secretly contact with the tyrants of Yuzhou.

In the troubled times, these big families living together in the fort all have their way of survival.

On the surface, Shi Le descended, but in private, he couldn’t help but frown with Zu Ti.

Combined with the effects of the drought, this silent shaking was even more dramatic.

Not to mention the Li family, in Yingchuan County and Xiangcheng County near Sizhou, there are no less than 30 Wubao that communicate with Sizhou by letters.

In order to cooperate with the ambush, Zu Ti also clearly hinted to these people early and let them seize the opportunity.

Therefore, even if Shi Le could not reach Li Jiabao, others would come forward to stop him.

And this is much more terrifying than an ambush.

But now, it is lucky to be able to reach the goal ahead of schedule.

In other words, it was Schiller’s misfortune.

“Thanks to the arrangement of Xifengling. After the inspection, there were no less than 3,000 people who died in the river valley. I didn’t expect the power of gunpowder to be so great. If it was used to attack the city, it would be a high wall. It’s also hard to resist!” Zhang Bin said aside, and there was some excitement in his words.

After the gunpowder was developed and formed, it has also been improved several times to increase the power of its explosives, but if the quantity is sufficient, it can also play a terrifying effect.

This time in Xifengling, the method of igniting with leads was used.

Thousands of soldiers in ambush would never be able to hide, but it was not difficult for a few people to hide.

Use the fuse|index to ignite the pre-buried explosive|charge bag, and then attack by surprise when the soldiers and horses of Shile pass.

Such means, for people who have never seen fire|powder, can be called a change in heaven and earth.

People are shocked and trampled on each other. The number of people killed is the second, the army’s heart is broken, and it can no longer move forward. This is the purpose.

It was a rare skill for Shi Le to lead a thousand people to escape.

It was this ambush that made Zhang Bin clearly realize the power of gunpowder.

Rocks can burst, not to mention the city walls?

If the same number of explosives can be buried under the corner of the city, wouldn’t it be invincible and invincible?

However, Liang Feng shook his head: “There are many moats in the city, the soil is wet, and it is impossible to get close, so it is difficult to attack with gunpowder. Besides, this method can only be used occasionally, and if it is used too much, others will come up with defensive methods. ”

War is a game in which both sides keep climbing the technological tree and strategic thinking.

Once the true effect of fire|powder is discovered, it will never be too difficult to restrain.

You must know that the city defense battle has been fought for thousands of years, what kind of methods have not been used?

It is common to dig holes under the city gates to set fires.

Therefore, many large cities have water channels, and the ground will be inlaid with tile urns.

With this simple amplifier, you can clearly hear the movement outside the city.

As soon as an enemy is found digging a tunnel, or trying to set fire to it, immediate action can be taken.

And fire|powder, as long as it is not ignited, a pot of water can deal with it.

Unexpectedly, it can also scare and scare the enemy. It is really regarded as a regular means, and it is only a matter of time before it is cracked.

Zhang Bin is familiar with military affairs. Hearing what the lord said, he also nodded: “If it can’t be used in the battlefield, it seems that it can be used for mining and digging in the deep mountains. This method still needs to be studied.”

This is more in line with In Liang Feng’s opinion, there are too many places where gunpowder can be used, and it is something that cannot be ignored.

“Let the concept of creation continue to be tested. Shi Le has been eliminated, it is time to send troops.”

This is the most important task now.

Following Liang Feng’s order, the Bingzhou army came out.

Li Shangdang and Li Shi attacked Pingyang on both sides.

In addition to the soldiers and horses left behind in Jinyang, even the Perak Army accompanied them.

The siege equipment that has been transformed is even more razor-sharp.

There are only a few defenders left, how can they block such an attack?

Puzi, Yong’an, and Beiqu counties were broken one after another.

When the army arrived at the foot of Pingyang City, the Xiongnu reinforcements from Yongzhou arrived at Hedong.

This time, Liu Yao also invested enough money and sent tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Hedong, he encountered an interception.

An elite cavalry rushed from Luoyang, and the two armies fought fiercely. In the end, the Huns were defeated, and they retreated to Tongguan in embarrassment.

Without reinforcements, Pingyang only lasted for seven or eight days before being overrun.

Afterwards, there was chaos in Hedong, many cities fell upon hearing the wind, and the aristocratic families changed their positions.

The situation in Sizhou will never be the same again.

※

“This dog slave!”

With a bang, a golden cup smashed to the ground.

Liu Yao was furious and jumped up!

Wenxi county magistrate actually down!

When they attacked Wenxi, they fought for several days before they captured the city.

Well now, that surnamed Liang simply won easily!

Thanks to those aristocratic families back then, they only wanted to cut off their tails to survive.

now what?

Some people even don’t want the hostages in Chang’an, and they go to Bingzhou with integrity.

Now that Wenxi has fallen, Anyi probably won’t be able to hold on for too long.

Where can the Yanchi in Hedong be preserved?

It is also that those noble people in the king’s account are too greedy.

However, the situation in Hedong was bad, and Chang’an was not much better.

When they arrived at Chang’an, a city far superior to Pingyang, the Xiongnu dignitaries thoroughly learned the extravagance of the Jin people.

Not to mention being arrogant and domineering, he also squeezed out the Jin people who had served.

When the late emperor was there, although he was a corporal, there was already a tendency to pay more attention to the clan.

Now no one is pressing, and it is impossible to deal with it.

Even the local Qiang and Di people in Yongzhou were all enslaved by those nobles.

If things go on like this, there will be chaos!

How to do?

Like a headless fly, he paced the hall for an unknown number of steps, and Liu Yao finally gritted his teeth: “Order the Hedong army to retreat and return to Yongzhou!

”

Looking at the anxious faces, Liu Yao suddenly thought of Zhang Dian who was with him back then.

That person is still a little bit quick-witted and a little bit courageous, not like these wastes in front of him!

“The most urgent task now is to pacify the chaos in Qinzhou. Hedong has been lost. If you want to regain the food you don’t know how much money it will cost, you might as well leave the mess to Bingzhou!”

Liu Yao’s thinking is very clear.

The severe drought is still continuing, and even if Pingyang and Hedong are captured, it will only be tens of thousands more mouths.

It’s a pity that Hedong Yanchi.

Now that Shuzhong has been occupied by rebels, Sichuan Salt is unsustainable, and Guanzhong Yanchi has limited output, which may not be able to support the army.

After solving the chaos in Qinzhou, we still have to think of ways to capture Shuzhong or retake Hedong.

Just look at this damn drought, when will it be over…

※

The Huns retreated, making Hedong, which was already in a good situation, even more desperate.

However, Bingzhou’s soldiers and horses were not greedy, and they still acted according to the original plan.

Only in Hedong siege the land.

The cities, the barriers, gradually came under its banner, and the surrounding area was shaken.

Although the news was one step behind, it finally reached Yangzhou.

Sima Rui was both pleasantly surprised and worried: “I even took down Pingyang and killed the rebel Shilena. Isn’t Liang Zixi going to occupy the two states of Xiayu and Yan?

” Add two more states, and half of the country will be under his command.

Even if Sima Rui had no interest in the North, it was impossible to tolerate such a thing.

Wang Dao smiled slightly: “Yuzhou has a prefectural title, and Yanzhou is also the same. If you are not competent, you can replace it. As long as the court sends officials to guard, can the Duke of Liang still take it privately?”

In fact, if you want to fight, you can still take it.

But the focus is not on “capture”, but on “private”.

Once Liang Feng disregarded the appointment of the court and fought for the two states, he would no longer be a prince, but a thief like Yuan Shao who wanted to rebel.

Judging from what Liang Feng had done in the past, he would not act rashly.

Compared to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and his likes, this sick young man also seems to lack some ambition.

“Stop with stillness.” Sima Rui nodded again and again, “That’s very good. Yuzhou and Yanzhou are both in the flanks of Yangzhou, and they must be handed over to reliable people to guard. As for the credit for regaining Pingyang… Liang Zixi was originally a commander of Sili. , Reorganizing Sizhou is also a matter of our own.”

A single word of within the matter, and the great credit has been fully paid.

However, Sima Rui is really unappointed, do you want to make that person a king?

He himself is only the king of the county now, and he has sealed Liang Feng, how will he win over when he ascends the throne in the future?

Knowing Sima Rui’s thoughts too well, Director Wang did not say anything, and took orders to adjust the personnel of Yuzhou and Yanzhou.

As a result, before Hedong was completely recovered, Liang Feng received a newspaper from the imperial palace.

Yuzhou and Yanzhou changed governors at the same time, and troops and horses were stationed there.

“Is King Langya afraid that I will take these two states?” Liang Feng shook his head as he dropped the newspaper as a joke.

Now occupying the two states of Yu and Yan, sorry, he does not have the military and financial resources.

It was only the first battle in Pingyang that it lasted for more than two months, and it cost an unknown amount of food.

If you want to settle down completely, at least it will take a few more months.

This is still the case when the Huns and the pseudo-han are unable to look east. Once the enemy slows down, they may have to fight again.

In such a situation, how could he annex Yu and Yan now?

Zhang Bin also showed a smile: “That’s fine. If the new governor can defeat the soldiers and bandits and gather the people, Sizhou and Jizhou can also relieve the pressure. Moreover, with this arrangement, the court always has to allocate food.

” Hand, stabilize the surrounding environment.

Shi Le is dead, but his generals and old camp are still there.

There are also the remaining generals of Wang Mi, and several refugee generals.

Without Shi Le, the tiger, it’s time for monkeys to run wild.

Yuzhou and Yanzhou may not be peaceful for a while.

The refugees are swarming, no matter how much food there is, they are not used to fill the bottomless pit.

It’s better to leave it to the court first, and wait for them to deal with the disaster around them before heading south.

“The order goes on, and officials from Bingzhou and Jizhou are selected to go to Pingyang and Hedong. It is necessary to stabilize the governance of officials in the two counties as soon as possible and restore people’s livelihood.”

That’s how many mouths to feed.

Liang Feng sighed softly, seeing that the autumn harvest is over, when will this drought be over?
