Chapter 832: Life-saving straw
It is said that Chen Long and Jiang Wei made a plan to attack on two fronts and quickly unify Xiliang. Immediately the order to set off the army was issued. Chen Long personally led the Guards Corps, Jiang Wei Corps, and Ma Chao Corps along the Longxi, Weiyuan, and Lintao lines to march directly to Jincheng. After meeting with Chen Dao's Corps, they divided their forces. Zhang Ji and Chen Yi guarded them respectively. The affairs of Tianshui, Jincheng, and Tianshui Gang will be handled by Yunlu's men for the time being.
The army was invincible everywhere. Chen Longrang preached the land policy to various groups along the road. Based on the principle of living and working in peace and contentment, fair and just land methods were implemented. All tax exemptions were given. The army was strictly ordered not to harass local people. Therefore, he made no mistakes wherever he went, and even helped local governments strengthen their prevention against bandits, which was welcomed by people of all ethnic groups. There were also those who greeted the generals with a basket of food and a pot of pulp. Chen Long always comforted them and only asked if there were any good people in the local area who were oppressing them, without giving any instructions.
Good policies bring good reputation, and kind policies bring more people who are willing to join. Who among ordinary people doesn’t want to live and work in peace and contentment? Chen Long also prepared sufficient military supplies this time, and obtained two major supply cities, Tianshui and Jincheng. The decree asked the economy to compensate the local area as much as possible for the villagers to graze and cultivate, so that they could be self-sufficient and have food and clothing. The huge wealth accumulated through years of peaceful development in Jingzhou was now more conducive to the implementation of policies that benefited the people. For a time, the story of the Qinglong Army spread across the land of Xiliang.
There is only one thing. Chen Long requires that the population flow should be reduced as much as possible at this time and the principle of settling in place should be adopted. This is also to break Cheng Gongying's idea of moving hundreds of ethnic groups into the Central Plains, causing chaos in China. As for the unification of the world, ethnic policies will naturally be improved again.
Chen Long was in a good mood along the way, riding together with Chu Feiyan and Ma Yunlu. Handsome men, beauties, and horses were riding in Xiliang. Sometimes they were in the Gobi wasteland, sometimes they were in green pastures. It was the people who looked like gods and the horses who looked like dragons. Every frame was extremely beautiful. picture.
When they arrived in Jincheng that day, Chen Yi had already brought Chen Yi and his daughter Chen Yuan out of the city to greet him. When Chen Long saw Chen Yuan cowering behind his father, he remembered that Chen Yuan had painted for him in the past in Tianshui City. He couldn't help but smile and teased her: "Yuan Yuan, don't you recognize me anymore?"
When Chen Yuan saw that Chen Long had no pretensions, he immediately became lively, walked around his father with a smile, and came closer and said: "I didn't expect that you are the majestic Lord of Qinglong, and your reputation has already spread throughout the land of Xiliang. How could I dare to be so presumptuous in front of my father?"
Chen Long heard this and blurted out: "Then let your father go back to the city as soon as possible." Chen Yi was extremely embarrassed by what he said, and Chen Yuan's face suddenly turned red. Chu Feiyan was so angry that she clapped her hands and said, "I still think it's better." As for little girl, how can I resist your teasing? Come on, little sister, you can take me to play in the city."
After Chen Yuan left with Chu Feiyan, Chen Yi invited Chen Long, Ma Yunlu and others to enter the city and went straight to the city lord's palace. At this time, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Chen Dao, Jiang Wei and other generals were all present. Chen Long pointed at Zhong Hui and said: "Bo Yue, although Shi Ji is young, he is both wise and brave. That Tianshui Prosecution Essay , it came from his handiwork. Your legion currently has no military advisor, so take him with you to be an acting military advisor."
When Jiang Wei heard this, he was surprised and said: "I didn't expect that Xiao Shi Ji could have such a writing style, which shows his great talent. Don't worry, my lord, in time, I'm afraid he will become a general again." Zhong Hui had never heard of Jiang Wei, and he was very impressed with him when he first arrived. He was quite dissatisfied with being the commander of the legion. Fortunately, as the city got deeper, he bowed respectfully and did not show his dissatisfaction.
Chen Long captured Zhang Ji's Tianshui and Chen Yi's Jincheng, and his military strength expanded. Chen Long integrated the elite cavalry into the Xiliang Legion. The cavalry of the three main legions were strengthened, and at the same time there were many more A guide for those who are familiar with the road. Chen Yi asked Chen Yi to train with Chen Long again, and Chen Long assigned Chen Yi to be a regiment leader in Chen Chuang. Unexpectedly, Chen Dao and Chen Yi hit it off as soon as they met, and they both had the surname Chen. They recognized their uncle and nephew on the spot. From then on, the Jincheng Chen family also regarded Chen Dao as a relative.
Chen Dao was skilled in the eagle peck spear technique, and originally wanted to find a disciple to pass on to him. Seeing that Chen Yi had excellent skills, he taught him carefully from then on. The two were half master and apprentice, half uncle and nephew. Their relationship became increasingly close, and Chen Yi gradually grew into a A general in the army, worthy of the position of regimental commander.
Scouts had been dispatched long ago, and military information was like snowflakes. They were sent to Guo Jia and Xu Shu in Jincheng to gather. The two military advisors studied day and night and planned the battle route and strategy in advance. On this day, after the army swore an oath, they finally moved out from Jincheng, divided into two groups, and set off farther to the west.
Chen Dao, the commander-in-chief of the North Road, and Xu Shu, the military advisor, together with a total of more than 60,000 troops after reorganization, headed straight for Wuwei, an important town in the northwest. Chen Long, the commander-in-chief of the South Road, had under his control the main forces of Zhao Yun's Army, Ma Chao's Army, and Jiang Wei's Army, totaling 150,000 people. Military advisor Guo Jia went straight to Xiping City in three groups. Qiu made no mistakes along the way, and finally started the decisive battle in Xiliang.
Han Sui's spies had already spread the news to Xiping City that Zhang Ji and Chen Yi had surrendered, and that Qinglong's army had moved out of Jincheng. Han Sui seemed inscrutable on the surface, but in fact he was panicking in his heart. At this critical moment, military advisor Cheng Gongying has not been in the city. It is said that he has gone to the chief helmsman of the Haiqing faction located in the secret place of Beihe Qianghai. I don't know what he means.
On this day, news came that Qinglong's army was advancing into Xiping City in three groups. Han Sui ordered the three armies to review, but found that the soldiers were lifeless and had low morale. Han Sui was so angry that he almost drew his sword and killed. Seeing the general Han De standing next to him who had escaped alone, he was even more furious. Eighty thousand Qiang soldiers were wiped out in ashes. Han Sui grabbed Hande by the collar and beat him several times in the mouth. He was so frightened that Hande fell down and did not dare to resist at all.
Han Sui and Han De were from the same ancestral clan, so they couldn't make a killing move for a while, and shouted: "You were greedy for life and afraid of death in the battle of Tianshui. You should have been punished with death. I miss the loss of your beloved son, so I let you live till now. Now the commander of the Qinglong Army has marched in, and you are still alive." If you want to survive, I order you to go to King Midang within ten days to borrow 100,000 Qiang soldiers, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"
Han De grabbed his head and ran away. Han Sui did not save Han De any face in front of the army, which was regarded as killing the chicken to show the monkey. At this time, Han Sui's general Yan Xing and military advisor Cheng Gongying had all disappeared, and he seemed lonely around him. They no longer had the glory of Bian Zhang and Ma Teng.
A pair of fox eyes turned around, and he bowed his head slightly to Han Sui. Han Sui seemed to be grasping a life-saving straw, stretched out his hand to support him and said: "Wen You! If you win this battle, the princes will lose, and the thieves will lose. Xiliang depends on you." Got it!"
Li Ru's eyes immediately narrowed, as if he was blinded by the yellow sand on the battlefield, and he slowly said: "Master, don't worry, just don't worry, no matter how powerful the Qinglong Army is, or how conceited Chen Long is, I have a clever plan to defeat it. "
Han Sui looked into Li Ru's triangular eyes and saw that his expression was very calm. He couldn't tell whether his words were purely comforting or confident. He could only sigh, and he and Li Ru slowly mounted their horses and returned to camp in the sunset.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
