In the 88th year of the Yuan Dynasty before Jingji, Xu Hong was ranked in the fourth rank and was a brave general. He commanded an army with a total of thirty-six battalions and thirty-six thousand people.
The army led by Xu Hong was the "wood prime minister" among the five prime ministers in the Jingxi army. The later Fengxiao Camp was among them.
According to Wang Jian's reading, Fengxiaoying officially established that this name was given by Xu Hong, who was then a heroic general, in the winter of the 89th year of the Yuan calendar before Jingji.
According to the practice of the Jingjiu Dynasty, it is only possible for a military establishment to have a unique number unless there are special circumstances, such as achieving important military exploits in a major battle. Or there are rare deeds that deserve to be heralded as examples. Fengxiao Camp, which was called the "Three-Five Mixed Camp" at the time, fell into the latter category.
With the strength of one battalion, without the cover of the main force, they fought fiercely with three thousand-man troops of the barbarians for three days. The number of casualties exceeded 30%, but they forced the enemy back thirty miles without daring to advance. Later, war histories recorded the Fengxiao Camp: The camp was mostly composed of rangers and was good at riding and shooting. They came and went like the wind. They repeatedly toyed with and annihilated the enemy within the range of the bow and arrow, so that the enemy was frightened and did not dare to approach. Therefore, it is known as "Wind Roar".
Because the barbarian wolf cavalry had extremely strong impact and killing capabilities when cavalry was fighting at that time. The attack ability of the wolf also made it very difficult for the human cavalry to deal with it. In a battle with it, they would lose more and win less, which would have a great impact on morale over time. of blow.
The deeds and tactics of the Fengxiao Battalion are a strong inspiration and reference. It also makes the human cavalry understand that by using the endurance advantage of the war horses to distance themselves and then annihilating the enemy with mounted fire, they can kill the enemies that are difficult to deal with in close combat. The wolf cavalry was therefore regarded as a model by Xu Hong, and gradually became a sharp-knife battalion in Xu Hong's hands.
Later, when the war entered the later stage, the barbarians showed signs of decline and retreated from outside the Zhuhuo Pass.
The military commander-in-chief of the south at that time was Yang Yansi, who is now the Minister of War. The position of "Military General Manager" was also initially established that year, and Yang Yansi served as the first general manager as the general of Zhuguo.
Seeing that the barbarians were retreating, Yang Yansi seized the opportunity and ordered a total of 80,000 Jingxi and border troops to come out of Zhuohuoguan to pursue them. They also robbed a large amount of the barbarians' baggage on the way, causing chaos as the barbarians retreated. Finally, they repeatedly harassed them. It became a defeated posture. Later, he trapped the barbarian king Lei Bao in Hongshan Valley, defeated him in battle, and captured his head.
The Fengxiao Battalion performed outstandingly in the siege of Hongshangou, and a large part of the credit for cutting off the Barbarian King's retreat must be attributed to them.
It can be said that among the many heroic deeds in the last war, Fengxiao Camp is definitely one that stands out.
In the end, the "Muxiang" of the Jingxi Army was responsible for clearing out the remaining barbarians, who was led by Xu Hong. By that time, it was already the 91st year of the Yuan Dynasty before Jingji, and Fengxiao Camp had become the most elite mobile force in Xu Hong's hands. After many personnel additions and transfers, they are all middle and low-level backbones under Xu Hong's command, which can be said to be the direct lineage of the lineage.
Wang Jian continued to look through Xu Hong's personal documents. There was nothing special on them, but Xu Hong's promotion was extremely smooth. Basically, he would climb up a level when he reached a certain level of cultivation. There would always be something going on in the middle. Let him take the credit. He was promoted steadily and had sufficient qualifications. The great war forty years ago allowed him to serve as the chief officer of the border army, the governor of the Jingxi Army, the right minister of the Ministry of War, and finally the left minister of the Ministry of War after the war. Minister.
Wang Jian even boldly speculated that once Yang Yansi resigned as Minister of War, Xu Hong would definitely be the one to fill his post. Regardless of his cultivation or qualifications, looking at the entire army, Xu Hong is the undisputed second person.
This question is interesting.
Now based on the relationship between Xu Hong and Feng Xiaoying, can Feng Xiaoying be regarded as the hotbed of Xu Hong's production team? Because Shen Hao saw many familiar names in the documents of Fengxiao Camp, and these names are now full of the four major front armies, and many of them are already prominent figures in various places.
From this point of view, the people who came out of Fengxiao Camp were definitely related to Xu Hong, including the ten military generals who had been arrested this time.
But this only raised the suspicion that Xu Hong was involved in the case several times, but it was far from "evidence". It was impossible to capture Xu Hong on this basis.
Wang Jian felt a little anxious. I originally thought I could dig out new clues from here, but I found that I thought it was simple.
The impatience in his heart also reflected on Wang Jian's hands, which made him turn the documents a little roughly. In addition, the paper was thick and made a loud squelch when he turned it over.
"You should be gentler! If it gets damaged, you'll be in big trouble." The flag officer watching next to him frowned and stopped. He has rarely been as tough as he is today. The main reason is that the rude Xuanqing Guard in front of him is also the head of a small flag officer. Like everyone, I am still monitoring you. This is the Ministry of War. If you are not cruel to you, who will be cruel to you?
"What trouble...trouble..." Wang Jian felt irritated. The other party looks down on him as a mere flag officer, but he still looks down on the other party as a flag officer. Besides, he was only wearing the black robe of a small flag officer, but his rank was a serious seventh-grade officer, which was higher than the small flag officer in front of him.
However, before Wang Jian finished speaking, his hands paused, and his eyes were gradually attracted by a paragraph of text in the document in front of him. I no longer had the intention to talk to the person next to me.
What did Wang Jian see?
"His mother, Xu Zhou, was from Xinliang City, and her original name was Zhou Yueyu..."
This is the last part of Xu Hong's personal documents, which introduces his family background. Previously, Wang Jian looked at the current situation of the Xu family, and this page happened to talk about Xu Hong's mother, the Xu Zhou family.
Xu Hong himself is nearly a hundred years old. He only maintains his sixty-year-old appearance because of his advanced cultivation. He is more energetic than ordinary people in their 20s and 30s. However, his mother is not a monk. Where is she still today? He has long since passed away.
None of these are important. What is important is that Xu Zhou's original name is Zhou Yueyu, and he is also a "Xinliang City native." These two points together evoked a recent memory in Wang Jian's mind. He remembered The words "Zhou Yueyu" and "Xin Liangcheng" also appeared in the personal records of one of the ten tough bones.
There was an impression in his heart and Wang Jian remembered it clearly, so he quickly sent this information about Xu Hong's family background back with Qianliyin, so that the people from the third department could verify it immediately.
After half a stick of incense, Qianli Note vibrated, and the news was sent back. Judging from the information currently available, the "Zhou Yueyu" in Xu Hong's case and the Zhou Yueyu in one of the hard cases are the same person. As for the evidence, Fengri City has already sent people to Xinliang City to verify it.
Wang Jian was relieved. No matter what, this trip to the imperial city can be considered as a gain, and I won't find nothing at all.
After quickly flipping through the two documents again to make sure that nothing was missing, Wang Jian hurriedly left the Ministry of War and returned to Fengri City without stopping.
