When Huang Qiong said this, he used his own inner strength. Therefore, although there were tens of thousands of officers and soldiers present. But Huang Qiong's words were like exploding in their ears. And as the rumble of drums sounded, an earth-shattering long live cry sounded outside the north gate of Huanzhou. The first person to shout long live was Feng Zhoushan, who had witnessed the young prince with his own eyes. He had previously personally carried out funerals for the fallen soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, the main force led by He Yuanfeng and Du She's left army were also infected by this passionate emotion and shouted together. After three long live shouts, Feng Zhoushan, the commander of the Right Route Army, took the lead, leading his Right Route Army, all of which were cavalry, to set off first. Following closely behind, He Yuanfeng led the middle army with a mixture of infantry and cavalry, with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind, waving flags all the way.
As the two teams set off, the deafening drum beat never stopped until the last soldier left. It wasn't until the two teams had all left Huanzhou that the drumbeat in Huang Qiong's hand stopped. After stepping off the general platform and getting on his horse, Huang Qiong looked at the thousands of guards and imperial guards in front of him. Although his expression was calm, his tone was extremely serious.
After coldly glancing at the men and horses in front of him, Huang Qiong said: "The army is about to set off, so I won't say any unnecessary nonsense. In short, I don't care what your origins are, whether you are a Duke or an Earl standing behind you. But here, you are a member of the counter-rebellion army. When it comes to enforcing military laws, I will treat everyone equally, and you will be rewarded if you advance and punished if you retreat."
After the words fell, Huang Qiong, who didn't want to say anything more, nodded towards Du She. After receiving Huang Qiong's signal, Du She waved his hand directly, and as the six trombones sounded, he and Huang Qiong took the lead. With the departure of the Left Army, it also represented the three armies participating in the counter-insurgency, all dispatched from Huanzhou and began to march towards the final destination of Ningxia Prefecture.
Tens of thousands of troops marched on the arid land of Longyou, and more than ten thousand horses galloped back and forth. The violent dust and dust they raised could be seen clearly from dozens of miles away. At this time, in Lingzhou City, Huang Qiong was originally shot and seriously injured. After escaping back to Longyou, he finally rescued him. After seeing his brother come back as a pile of bones and minced meat, Dang even spit out another mouthful of blood.
In my heart, I hated Huang Qiong even more. But a hero is a hero after all. Although he wanted to crush the British king ten thousand times in his heart, Tuoba Jiqian still seemed very calm when he learned that the three armies of the government and the army came out to kill Lingzhou. His first idea was just as Du She had judged, to abandon Lingzhou and the entire Ningxia Prefecture, and retreat across the Yellow River into the Helan Mountains.
The previous three consecutive battles left a profound impression on Tuoba Jiqian. He believed that the five thousand elite cavalry of the Pingxia tribe, the most elite, could not defeat even the thousand men of the Xijing camp. It gave him a profound insight into the difference between well-trained people and a mob. Facing the 20,000 people in the Xijing camp this time, to be honest, even he himself didn't have much confidence.
Especially now, he was piecing together almost all the people in Ningxia Prefecture, regardless of whether they were Han or Han people who could serve as soldiers, and forcibly recruited them into the army, barely cobbling together an army of more than 100,000 people. After three consecutive defeats, nearly half of it has been lost. Although the remaining tribesmen are mainly from Dangxiang people, it stands to reason that everyone is of the same clan, and they have also suffered from the oppression of the imperial court in these years.
In Tuoba Jiqian's opinion, everyone should work together. But after the rebellion, Tuoba Jiqian realized that he was still thinking too simply. It is certain that the tribes in Dangxiang are dissatisfied with the imperial court. But in my heart, I may not really think too highly of him. After many years of hard work, the only ones who really became his backup were Noribe and some small tribes.
As for the other large tribes, although they support themselves on the surface, they actually have small calculations in their hearts. Especially after he killed someone with a borrowed knife and used the hands of the army to deal with the most disobedient Zheluo tribe, the clan leaders and leaders looked at him and there was something obviously wrong. If he hadn't annexed the Zheluo tribe immediately after the defeat in Qingyang.
In addition to having a marriage relationship with him, he married the clan leader's sister, and hired his son to marry the clan leader's daughter, which made Noribe fully support him. Maybe, the army he had worked so hard to build would have fallen apart long ago. If it weren't for these people, I wouldn't have been hiding in Ningxia Mansion before the defeat of Qingyang Mansion, without dividing the troops to attack Longyou.
As a result, he lost the best opportunity to expand his territory and strength. At present, the officers and soldiers are counterattacking. If he really fights head-on with the officers and soldiers according to his current situation, even if he loses another battle, he may be in chaos internally. Looking at it now, Jianqingbiye retreating into the Helan Mountains to temporarily avoid the edge of the army is the best choice. As long as he preserves his strength, he can make a comeback at any time.
At least he should sort out his internal situation first and really unite the party members, so that he can have the strength to fight against the army. Moreover, the Xijing camp was used by the imperial court to deal with the entire northwest, and it was definitely not specially set up for Ningxia Prefecture. It is impossible for the more than 20,000 elites in the Xijing Camp to be stationed in Ningxia Mansion for too long. As long as they are dragged away, the remaining guards will have limited combat effectiveness.
You can show your hidden fangs again at any time. What's more, the ancestors of the Dangxiang people were originally nomadic tribes herding cattle and sheep, and living in the open air is the true nature of the Dangxiang people. As long as there is green grass, the party members can survive. But the Han people can't do that. They need to eat food. Ningxia Prefecture is still far from recovering from the severe drought last year, and it can still be said that the land is thousands of miles away.
The officers and soldiers cannot raise food and grass locally, so they can only transport it from the rear, and this is probably their biggest weakness. The longer their front line is, the more fighters they have. As long as you cut off their food supply, you can starve them away even if you don't praise them. I am being more ruthless and filling up all the wells before leaving. So what if they reoccupy Ningxia Mansion?
Thinking of this, Tuoba Jiqian, who had been recovering from illness these days, lifted up the quilt and got out of bed. But just when he was about to get up, he was held down by two beautiful women. One of them walked up to him with a bowl of medicine. After carefully blowing the medicine in the bowl to cool it down, he sat down on the bed and said softly: "No matter what big thing it is, it doesn't matter what your body or bones are."
This gentle and beautiful woman was none other than Tuoba's first wife. After Tuoba Jiqian married the Yeli clan, he knew that his husband had always been ambitious since he was young and took it as his own responsibility to restore the glory of the party. However, he suffered from the fact that the real power of the Pingxia tribe was controlled by his elder brother Tuoba's salary. In his hands, he could only silently put all his thoughts in his heart and work hard secretly.
Knowing that she comes from a small tribe, she cannot give her husband much help. After learning that her husband intends to marry Noribe in order to gain Noribe's support and increase her own strength. So he voluntarily gave up his position in the main room and was willing to retire to the side room. Ms. Wang has a gentle temperament, and her appearance and figure are even more beautiful. Although the Zong family is no longer the main wife, and she has not given birth to a son or a daughter to Tuoba Jiqian.
But this woman, who was two or three years older than Tuoba Jiqian, was the most important person to Tuoba Jiqian and the only one who could listen to his advice. Tuoba Jiqian had a bad temper and became even more unruly. He was so strong that he couldn't listen to anyone's words. The only person who can persuade him is the wife and sister to him, even though she is no longer his wife.
Listening to his wife's gentle words, Tuoba Jiqian looked at the woman he felt most sorry for in his life. After drinking all the Chinese medicine in the bowl, he gently grabbed her hand and said with peace of mind: "Sister, this time is related to the life and death of all party members. As the leader of the party members, I can't lie down at this time." On the bed. Sister, you can't stop me at this time, just let me go."
Tuoba Jiqian's words, especially that sound, were called "Ajie" when the two were alone. Let Mr. Wang sigh softly. Mi, another concubine with Tuoba Jiqian behind him, helped Tuoba Jiqian get dressed, and then said softly: "I know you have always been ambitious and you are an eagle with spread wings. So, I don't Stopping you. I just hope you can think more about your family."
"Cherish your body and bones, and don't always rush to the front line on the battlefield. After Ah Yi passed away a few days ago, sister Yeli seemed to have lost her soul. She is still ill. Dezhao is still young. , can’t afford big things yet. Now you are the only backbone of the family. If you have any troubles, what will happen to the old and weak in this family and so many people outside?"
In response to his wife's instructions, Tuoba Jiqian nodded slightly, hugged the woman who was also his wife and sister, and finally walked out with the help of his maid. The house he lives in now was the original Zhizhou Yamen of Ningxia. This yamen was built at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China when Lingzhou Zhizhou was established. Although it is already very old. But it is also the most splendid building in Lingzhou City.
Since sweeping through the entire Ningxia Prefecture, Tuoba Jiqian did not move the core of his rule to Tongxin County, where the Ningxia Prefecture is located, but stayed in his hometown of Lingzhou. At present, throughout Ningxia Prefecture, all the original party branches are basically gathered in Lingzhou. At this time, these leaders and clan leaders had been waiting for him in the reception room of Zhizhou Yamen for a long time.
Walking to the living room, Tuoba Jiqian felt a headache coming from the living room as he listened to the quarrels coming from the living room about whether the party members should fight, leave, or surrender in the face of the massive attack by the government troops. Tuoba Jiqian did not want his ambitious tribesmen to see that he was weak at this time. After breaking free from the hands of the maids who were supporting him, he straightened his clothes and walked towards the living room.
As soon as he entered the living room, the dozens of tribal leaders and clan chiefs who were arguing fiercely fell into silence. Among these people, although many people are not really convinced by Tuoba Jiqian, no matter what, he is still the leader of the party members, and at least superficial respect is still required. At this time, they still need a backbone.
What's more, no matter whether they were convinced or not, Tuoba Jiqian's ruthless character left an everlasting impression in their hearts. Not to mention the person who was exterminated by him because he opposed his rebellion during the uprising, it turned out that the leader of the Pingxia Tribe, Tuoba Jifeng. Three days ago alone, more than a dozen leaders of the Zheluo tribe who had been released by the army were beheaded directly on his order.
Afterwards, the entire Zheluo tribe was swallowed up by him. These things made these leaders and clan leaders a little afraid of this guy. Especially since they are currently stationed in Lingzhou, which is the home base of the Pingxia tribe. Their main troops and horses are stationed outside the city, and there are only men and horses from his Pingxia tribe in the city. If this guy turns against him at this time, I'm afraid he might end up like Orarabe.
