Han Shizu

Chapter 889
Shicheng is just a small town, and the Liao Kingdom set up a county here to set up a foothold to expand the influence of Luanping and strengthen its control over the surrounding areas.Guo Xiaocheng is short and has few soldiers. Wang Lin who rebelled was a local tyrant. His grandfather was once a military academy under Jieyan Liu Shouguang. died in the process.

After the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty, Yanyun was ceded, and he accompanied Zhao Yanshou to descend to Liao Dynasty until now.It can be said that this Wang Lin is a typical Han military officer and landlord class in the Youyan area.This Han-Liao war, no matter what, had a de facto impact on these Han people under the rule of the Liao Kingdom, especially the Han bureaucratic military academy with a certain status.

The times are turbulent, the situation is changing, and people's thoughts are moving. People like Wang Lin chose to rebel against Liao and return to Han, and stabbed Gao Mohan at a critical moment.Gather local heroes, kill the Khitan officers, and finally create a generation of Liao generals with different heads.

After entering the city, Ma Quanyi and others showed courtesy to Wang Lin and others, and highly affirmed their righteous deeds.Especially for Wang Lin's experience, he praised him very much, saying that he killed Hu with a sword in order to avenge his father, which was a combination of two righteousness.

However, this is obviously only a superficial phenomenon.If Wang Lin really had the heart of revenge, how could he have become the obedient minister of Khitan for 20 years and served as an official in his place? There are countless responses, why didn't you bring people to follow and fight against the Khitans at that time.

The reason is that this time, the big man is coming in menacingly, and the soldiers are powerful.Moreover, Wang Lin is one of the more down-and-out Han military landlords. After 20 years of mixing, he is only the commander of a county. Compared with the top Han families in Liao such as the Han family and the Geng family, there is no comparison at all. .

In addition, being the same Han people, they are also closer emotionally. Of course, this is the most secondary reason. When the time is right, I will use it.

In front of the simple government hall, more than a dozen puppet army officers stood in embarrassment, dejected, surrounded by dozens of elite Han soldiers, and three generals Ma Quanyi, Li Hanqiong, and Ma Renxuan stood on the steps and looked at these Han people. officer.

The chivalrous Ma Renyu stared at them and said angrily, "You guys have been in the Liao Dynasty for a long time, and served as slaves to the Khitan people, paid food for the Liao Kingdom, and fought for them, but can you still speak Chinese?"

Ma Renxuan's momentum was so domineering that people dared not look sideways. One of the leading officers took the initiative to step out, clasped his hands, lacking in confidence, and replied, "General, we are also sons of the Han family, so we can naturally speak Mandarin."

"Oh!" Ma Renyu sneered and said, "I thought you could only speak the Khitan language now!"

Ma Renyu is only 26 years old, but he has been in the army for [-] or [-] years. He has been on the battlefield and made outstanding achievements in battle. Now he has become a general in the Longjie army.These surrendered generals have also seen Ma Renyu's heroic appearance of leaping across the horse, killing people like hemp, so listening to his angry words, they are more apprehensive.

Li Hanqiong, the envoy of the Xin'an Army, also spoke, with a dignified and serious expression, concise and to the point, and a stern tone: "Since you are a Han, why don't you kill Hu with a sword, but help him to torture and fight against Wang Shi?"

Facing this kind of questioning, the leading officer sighed: "We are all abandoned people. Our wealth and life are controlled by others, just like bows and arrows in human hands. There is nothing we can do about it!"

"If you follow the Hulu, ravage Youyan, and kill the Han people like you, you should die!" Ma Quanyi took a step forward, his tiger eyes were threatening, and he said loudly: "Nian Er and others are involuntary, or they will not die. Today There is a holy son of heaven, who is ashamed of the Xuehan family for 20 years. He launched an army to attack Liao, raised millions of troops, and went north to attack thieves. He must regain Guanshan and destroy his army. On the day of the edict, the soldiers of the three armies cheered enthusiastically. Heroes of Yanzhao , generous shadow follower, Quartet lofty ideals, all looking north, earnestly hope that the king's master will succeed.

The arrival of the heavenly army is like a mountain pressing down on an egg, and the momentum is like a torrent. The son of the Han family is full of martial arts, how long can the barbarians continue to be rampant?You survivors of the old land, if you don’t change your banner and banner as soon as possible, change your ways and return to righteousness, abandon Liao and return to Han, don’t you still want to sacrifice your life for the Khitan people until you die without a place to die? "

Ma Quanyi's words have actually pointed out a clear way for these Han military officers. Only by submitting to the big man and making meritorious deeds can they have a way out.And these Han officers, of course, understood it, and immediately bowed down, expressing their willingness to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, return to the big Han, and serve the Han army.

Only then did Ma Quanyi show a satisfied smile, and immediately arranged for them to return to the prison camp, advised the puppet army, appeased the army, and expressed his sincerity.He also donated medicine and medicine, allocated some food to them, and at the same time sent several propaganda and comfort officials in the army into his camp to carry out ideological reform.

"General Ma, can these captives be trusted?" Ma Renyu couldn't help asking, expressing doubts in his words, after the matter of surrendering was settled.

"What does General Pony think?"

In the Han army, Ma Renyu's title of "Little Horse General" had already come out, and Ma Quanyi was an old horse, so he was called like this, and Ma Renyu didn't feel that he was underestimated.

Facing Ma Quanyi's gaze, Ma Renyu said: "Although these surrendered troops belong to the Han people, they have been under the rule of the Khitan for a long time and were mostly influenced by Hu Feng, and their family is still under the rule of the Liao army. If it is said that they have returned to their hearts because of this, and are loyal to the great man, I don't believe it!"

Hearing this, Ma Quanyi couldn't help laughing and said: "General Xiao Ma is not only brave and good at fighting, but also courageous, and quite knowledgeable!"

On the side, Li Hanqiong kept his numb face, and said in a calm and indifferent voice: "Since they have surrendered, they can't be left alone. These prisoners can be treated differently. People from the Luanping camp can be accommodated. Army, make up for the losses, and advance eastward in the future, it can be a pioneer. As for those who are from Liaodong, they will be temporarily arranged for labor."

Li Hanqiong is also a rising star in the Han army in these years, and now he is only in his early thirties. He is strong and burly, with amazing strength.

Looking at Li Hanqiong's indifferent expression, Ma Quanyi was a little moved, and said something disrespectful, his personality was a bit like that of Emperor Qianyou in his youth.

Ma Quanyi said: "Your Majesty once said that under the rule of the Liao Kingdom, there are hundreds of thousands of Han people. If we can lead them to go against each other and return to serve the great Han, it will be a great blow to the Liao Kingdom. This time, we surrendered Although there are only 500 people, it is a good start. As long as it is handled properly, the effect will be incalculable.

With these people as examples, the Khitan people dare not fully trust their Han soldiers in future battles, and the Han soldiers will no longer serve them desperately.A local tycoon like Wang Lin is a clear proof that the hearts of the various clans in the Liao Kingdom are difficult to unify after all! "

Bravery is of course Ma Quanyi's quality all along, but in addition to that, he can also use his brain. He followed Liu Chengyou in his early years and repeatedly made suggestions on military strategy. From then on, Liu Chengyou knew that this is a very malleable general.

In the process of defending Yongqing all the year round, his leadership and decision-making abilities have been honed, and he also has a good overall view and strategic vision.During this Northern Expedition, the lineup of the great Han commanders was luxurious enough, but the truly luxurious ones were those generals who were the backbone of the army. Among the armies, there were many famous generals.

Listening to his words, Ma Renyu was thoughtful.On the other side, Li Hanqiong said in a deep voice: "If the Liao Kingdom condemns or kills their family members because of these people's surrender, then it is not afraid that they will have another heart!"

Hearing this, both horses couldn't help but look sideways, noticing Li Hanqiong's ice-like expression, they couldn't help but feel a little chill, this person is really ruthless.In fact, it can be reflected from Li Hanqiong's words that there are still many maneuverable methods for those puppet troops.

As far as those puppet troops were concerned, they could not help themselves in the Liao Dynasty, so why not in the Han Dynasty. Their situation was destined to be embarrassing, unless there was a complete separation between the Han and Liao Dynasty.

However, Ma Quanyi didn't intend to think deeply about Li Hanqiong's words. From his heart, he was unwilling to play any tricks.After thinking about it, he said, "Let's discuss the next move!"

"General Ma, just speak directly!" Li Hanqiong replied concisely and forcefully.

Obviously, among the three Han generals present, Ma Quanyi was the main one.Regardless of his relationship with the emperor, even with his qualifications alone, he is enough to convince the other two.

Ma Quanyi didn't pretend to be modest, a snake can't do without a head, not to mention the army, of course they should do their part and take responsibility.After a little consideration, Ma Quanyi said: "After the army marched north, the Liao army fully retracted its defenses. We were ordered to come east to pursue them. We wanted to seek to wipe out part of the Liao army on the east road, but unexpectedly killed Gao Mohan.

The Liao army on the East Road was originally composed of Han people, Xi people, and Bohai people. After the First World War in Shicheng, the Liao army suffered heavy losses, their morale was turbulent, and their morale was low.I intend to temporarily garrison here to rest and reorganize, and ask for orders to go to the battalion, attack the three states of Luanping camp eastward, take the Lulong area, blockade Yuguan, and completely separate the Liao army.If you can find an opportunity to pass through the Yuguan Road and attack the Liaodong area, it will deal an even greater blow to the Liao army! "

After hearing Ma Quanyi's thoughts, Ma Renyu showed an eager expression. This is a strategy for dividing troops, and being in a partial division is a good time to make contributions, and he immediately agreed.

Li Hanqiong said: "Now our three armies add up to less than 7000 cavalry, and even if we add prisoners, it is less than [-]. The troops are too weak to defend and attack. Although the Liao army on the East Road was defeated, they still won in terms of strength. We have passed our army, and it is hard to know whether there will be follow-up reinforcements. To complete the attack goal, we need to increase our troops, stabilize the food roads, and ensure the supply of food and weapons!"

"What General Li said is true!" Ma Quanyi fully agreed with Li Hanqiong's opinion, looked at the two, took out a military newspaper, and said, "I want to write a letter to go to camp, and I will ask King Chen Liu for instructions. sign together?"

Ma Renyu immediately nodded, while Li Hanqiong stretched out his hand: "Bring the pen!"
