In the early morning of that day, Xu Zongwen got up early and ran laps in the backyard of the Prefecture. After two days of rest, his shoulder injury seemed to have improved greatly. On the second day after Tancheng was captured, Zhang Si "invited" the doctor who cured Asan to the Prefecture to treat Xu Zongwen's injuries. , just after applying medicine and bandaging for a while, scabs began to form. Now, except for the dull pain, it is no longer a problem to move a little.
But in order to recover as soon as possible, Xu Zongwen planned to run early and exercise more. His body in his previous life was already good. He had just left the military camp after serving in the military, and he was as strong as an ox!
However, Xu Xiao's body is too weak. He is indeed a weak scholar in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. He only pursues the ways of Huang and Lao. He likes to talk about metaphysics, travel in mountains and rivers, and have a wild life. He may have taken Wushisan, which depletes the body. Harmful drugs, fragile body bones are simply vulnerable!
If Xu Zongwen hadn't had some of the most lethal military moves at his side, as well as martial arts boxing and fighting skills, he would have died on the Feishui battlefield on the first night.
"By the way, Zhang Si, tell people to take good care of my Qing Lei." After Xu Zongwen finished running around, he took the silk handkerchief from Zhang Si and wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
“How should I feed this horse if I want to have strong legs?”
Zhang Si opened his mouth and said: "Come back and ride Captain, if this horse wants to have strong legs, it must use high-quality horse feed, add more beans and less wheat bran, and add some salt to the water when it is full."
Zhang Si's father was a horseman from the Yin family in Chen County. The Zhang brothers had followed their father since childhood and were familiar with the method of raising horses. It was inevitable that they would become proficient in this way under the influence of their ears and eyes.
Xu Zongwen raised his head and gave these instructions to the bodyguard who was leading the horse.
"By the way, don't forget that the beans need to be soaked in warm water for half an hour. They should not be too hard or too soft." Zhang Si added, pointing to the bodyguard beside him.
"Xilulu——" A loud neighing sound came from behind Xu Zongwen.
The personal guard pulled Qing Lei forward with his head high and his chest high, and said with a smile: "Captain Qi, I will definitely take good care of Uncle Qing Lei."
Although it is a royal horse, in the final analysis it is still a horse. It eats and drinks so carefully, and is more particular than a human being. What is it if it is not an uncle?
Not long after, Xu Zongwen summoned all the people to come to the prefect's mansion to discuss matters and prepare to send troops to Pengcheng.
"It will take some time for Shen Yu and Zhuge Kan to recruit and surrender the counties, but we can't wait here to waste time and delay the war! This captain has received Zhu Shijun's reply. Our main army has already marched out of Xia Pi along the Sishui River. Heading north to Pengcheng, we will send troops as soon as possible!"
This morning, Xu Zongwen arranged for Shen Yu and Zhuge Kan to go to the east and west sides of Tancheng to recruit several counties that had not yet surrendered. He also asked them to summon the garrison sergeants, civilians, and young men from each county to rush to the front line of Pengcheng to search and loot according to the original plan. The troops of Donghai County marched westward to Pengcheng, attacked various counties in Pengcheng, and isolated Pengcheng.
"Come back to Captain Qi, all the surrendered troops from Tancheng have been incorporated into our army. Now our army has increased to 10,000 people. According to Captain Qi's instructions, 2,000 people will be left to defend the city. The rest will gather in Beicheng later today. Get out!”
The total strength of the Qin army in Tancheng was more than 15,000. When the Jin army attacked the city, they attacked the Beicheng camp and killed more than 1,500 people. The 4,000 Qin army defenders in each city were killed and more than 1,000 were killed one after another. Later, they surrendered to Nancheng. There are 7,000 troops in the camp, plus the remaining governor's mansion, arsenal, treasury, granary and other important places, there are more than 10,000 people left, and there is indeed no entry or exit.
The Jin army lost more than half of its troops during the siege. Most of the heavy casualties were soldiers from Xiapi County. Beifu soldiers lost 600 of their 1,600 soldiers and suffered over 500 minor or serious injuries. The losses were also considerable, with less than 3,000 soldiers left.
Last night, the Qin army's Hu rebels in the south city surrendered and united with the Hu rebels in the city to cause chaos. They were beheaded. Except for the more than 3,000 Hu rebels who were killed by crossbows, the rest were all incorporated into the Jin army.
The originally reduced Jin army was quickly replenished, and its strength jumped to more than 14,000!
Xu Zongwen left more than 2,000 people to defend the city and maintain law and order in Tancheng. He assigned Shen Yu and Zhuge Kan each to 1,500 people to recruit and surrender from various counties. He prepared to lead 8,000 elite infantry and cavalry people to attack Pengcheng!
"As soon as noon arrives, there is no need to wait until three quarters. All the remaining Hu people will be killed. No one will be left behind, and they will sacrifice the flag for our army and go out for the battle!"
"promise!"
The Hu rebels did not cause many casualties to the Jin army in Nancheng, but the people in the city suffered. If they did not kill these Hu people, they could not calm the anger of the people, let alone make the Tancheng soldiers who surrendered to Xu Zongwen completely return!
At the end of the Jin Dynasty (Western Jin Dynasty), the Rebellion of the Eight Kings consumed most of the country's power, leaving the Central Plains empty. The Hu people who moved inland had evil intentions, and they launched troops to attack the prefectures and counties of the Jin Dynasty. One of the leaders was Li Xiong, the leader of the Di tribe in Yizhou, and others from the north. The Xiongnu Chanyu Liu Yuan and the Li family of the Di people established the Han Kingdom (Chenghan). The Xiongnu Liu family claimed to be of Han descent and also established the Han Kingdom (Han Zhao). It was this Xiongnu Han Kingdom that defeated the Jin Dynasty capitals Luoyang and Chang'an. He captured and killed two Jin emperors, Emperor Huai and Emperor Min, and killed hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers and civilians!
The Jin Dynasty (Eastern Jin Dynasty), with the support of the northern and southern nobles, could only cross the south of the Yangtze River and settle in a corner to continue the country. The northern part of the Central Plains was completely lost!
After the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, Shi Le of the Jie clan and Liu Yao of the Zhao Kingdom (Han Zhao, Former Zhao) competed for supremacy in the Central Plains. Shi Le established the Zhao Kingdom (Later Zhao), and destroyed the Xiongnu Liu family, and the Jie clan occupied the Central Plains.
After the tyrant Shi Hu came to the throne, the Shi family Zhao Kingdom frequently recruited millions of Han people to build palaces and bridges. The heavy labor directly and indirectly killed countless Han people!
Later, the Murong clan of Xianbei, the Fu clan of the Di clan, and the Yao clan of the Qiang clan attacked each other and caused chaos in the Central Plains. They were unified by Qin King Fu Jian. By this time, the Han people in the northern part of the Central Plains had ten families and nine empty houses, and their country was almost destroyed!
The hatred of the Han people towards the Hu people has been accumulated for three generations. In addition, the barbarians are cruel in nature and love to kill and loot. This has long aroused the anger in the hearts of the Han people. Xu Zongwen attacked the city for the first time, not only to avenge the people, but also to Establishing military prestige and increasing power for oneself!
"Click click..."
At the Caishikou execution ground in Tancheng, Jin army sword and axemen beheaded the Hu people one after another. The people watching did not throw eggs or vegetable leaves. They could only pick up the stones on the ground and throw them at the Hu people. The dust covered the Hu people's eyes. Use spittle and curses to vent their resentment and the oppression and humiliation they have suffered!
"Damn you, my little wife was dragged into the military camp when she was only thirteen years old. Wow wow wow..."
"And my dog was chopped to death by them! He could only be buried with two tails wrapped in reed mats... They also took away my only cow!"
"Gouzi, the army has avenged you! It's time for you to go! I want to join the army to kill the Hulu, and I won't let you die in vain..."
"The Hulu must die a good death. In his next life, he will be reincarnated as a cow or a horse. Go and atone for your sins!"
"Kill them and comfort the souls of those who died in vain." Xu Zongwen shook his head and quietly left the execution ground.
The crimes committed by the Hu people in Tancheng were far more than he imagined. He finally understood why the people who heard the news cooperated with them to besiege the Qin army on the night the Jin army attacked the city.
"Captain, Commander, can you take me with you?"
"Huh?" Xu Zongwen's eyes suddenly became suspicious. He turned around, and if it wasn't Nie Zhen'er who stopped him, who was it?
"Are you sober?"
Nie Zhen'er nodded slightly. She woke up last night, but she heard that Xu Zongwen was suppressing a rebellion and killing the enemy, so she didn't see her. She got up early today and saw Xu Zongwen summoning the troops of the Prefect's Mansion. After asking around, she learned that the Jin troops were about to withdraw from Tancheng. , ready to evacuate!
Therefore, Nie Zhen'er begged her maid to find a soft armor uniform, put it on, and hurriedly caught up with Xu Zongwen's troops.
At this time, the Nie Zhen'er in front of Xu Zongwen was wearing a set of soft armor, a helmet on his head, and a long sword that he got from nowhere at his waist. This outfit was different from that of ordinary Jin army sergeants. Second, except for her voice, there is no way to tell that she is a woman!
Xu Zongwen looked at it carefully and suddenly smiled and said: "You still have a younger brother who has not been found, so why do you insist on following me out of Tancheng?"
"But the captain has been helping Zhen'er search for days, but there is no whereabouts. I'm afraid my younger brother is no longer in Tancheng!"
Xu Zongwen asked Zhang Si to handle this matter, but there has been no news.
"What you need to know is that I, Xu Xiao, am a leader of troops. Not to mention that the army is not suitable for women. If you follow me today, there is a high probability that you will never have the chance to return to the East China Sea or Tancheng!"
What Xu Zongwen said is true. The Jin army can only go farther and farther north. Apart from being defeated and returning south, there is only one way. In order to regain the old land, march and march again!
Nie Zhen'er frowned slightly, gritted her silver teeth, and clenched her pink fists. She suddenly raised her head and said loudly: "I have no relatives in Tancheng anymore. If the captain doesn't take me away, I can only go back to my old career and stay in the city." I joined a magic troupe, but I am just a weak woman. The world is difficult and dangerous, and I don’t know when I will be sold by the troupe leader to the children of the noble family and become a concubine’s plaything!”
What Xu Zongwen feared most in his last life and this life was to meet a woman crying, with the rainy look on the pear blossoms. Xu Zongwen closed his eyes and was about to turn around and leave, but after taking a few steps he turned around again. After a long time, Xu Zongwen uttered four words with difficulty in his mouth. One word: "I'll take you away."
I don’t know whether it happened overnight or after thinking about it for a long time, Xu Zongwen’s understatement made Nie Zhen’er grasp at straws!
Xu Zongwen looked at the tearful man in front of him and suddenly wiped away his tears. It turned out that he was still crying and wiping away his tears. However, it only lasted for a moment. The rain passed and the sky cleared up, and a bright smiling face appeared again!
"I really don't know if I'm really doing good things or if I'm just minding my own business!"
