Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 134 War You State ([-])
The blade slashed across lightly, and a bloody arrow flew out. The heavy body of the rider fell heavily on the grass, twitched slightly, and then fell silent.

Li Shaorong lightly clamped the horse's belly, and caught up with another person again.It was still a half-grown child, probably about fourteen or fifteen years old, holding a wooden spear in his hand.Running around in a panic, exhausted too much energy, the wooden spear in his hand was not so much a weapon as it was a crutch that kept him from falling.

"Pfft!" The young man waved the wooden spear indiscriminately, only to be stabbed in the chest by a thick-backed broadsword.The blade was not sharp, but with the help of the horse's momentum, it almost cut the boy's chest in half.

"This is the last one!" Li Shaorong got off his horse, chopped off the boy's head, and hung it under the saddle.

This Pangbaa tribe was surrounded more than 30 miles northwest of Youzhou, almost entering the territory of Yanzhou.The Ministry has a total of more than 500 men, and it is said that 200 men were sent to Youzhou City to help defend the city. They are all warriors in the clan.The rest of the people were grazing nearby. When they got the news, they found that the Tuoba tribe was sticking to the city and did not dare to fight at all. They felt that something was wrong and started to run away.

But how could it be so easy to escape at this time?

So a few days later, he was sacked by the cavalry of the Iron Forest Army. He fought a battle and was defeated, killing and injuring more than 3000 people. Then he was rushed into the tribe by two thousand cavalry, slashed and killed. .More than half of the men were killed or injured, more than [-] women and children were captured, and more than [-] cattle, sheep, horses and donkeys became other people's trophies.

"Team deputy, General Zhe ordered us to stay and send Dingkou cattle and sheep to Wuyan City." Yiqi came from afar and reported.There were also two human heads hanging under his saddle. It seemed that this Pangbaa was really finished.

"Where is Ambassador You Yi going?" Li Shaorong got on his horse and asked with a frown.

He is from Yincheng, and Zhe Siyu, the envoy of You Yi, is from the new Qin family, and he is also a fellow from Linzhou. General Zhe still takes good care of him.In addition, he himself is superb in riding skills, excellent in bow and lance, and very courageous, so when the cavalry expanded its army, he was promoted to a level smoothly and became the deputy of the team.Today's battle against the Pang Baa Department has made some contributions, but if you want to be promoted to the team, it feels like it's not so interesting.He was about to continue fighting and making meritorious deeds, but in the end he got an errand to escort the prisoners' belongings, and he felt depressed all of a sudden.

"General Zhe went to chase the Suixiang Department. The scouts have found their pasture, which probably has tens of thousands of livestock. General Zhe didn't want to be robbed of the credit by the Wuwei Army, so he hurriedly led people to chase them."

"Li Tangbin..." Li Shaorong was speechless.

He had to admit that this martial arts envoy did have two brushes, an iron gun that made him superb, and his archery skills were not bad.The two thousand cavalry under his hand were also very capable of fighting, they broke through two parts in one day, several heads on Wangmang's forehead were all cut off, they were really fierce.

The Tuoba clan's vassal tribes on the grassland are now all cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.Counting the cavalry of the Jinglue Army who was raiding the fourth division of Wu Yi in Yanzhou, there are tens of thousands of cavalry fighting for credit.He reckoned that if he ransacked for more than a month, even if he retreated directly and stopped attacking Youzhou, this trip would be a great success.

The Tuoba family lost face, and the vassal tribes either died or fled or surrendered. If they behave like this, the party members of Nanshan and Dongshan will look down on them in their hearts, right?That would be a dead dog!After the beginning of spring, their strength will become weaker and weaker. At that time, the commander-in-chief will probably be able to attract more party tribes to share the wealth of the Tuoba family.

This Yuzhou is likely to be broken without attacking!
It's really exciting to fight with the commander in chief.If another person came, most of the soldiers and civilians would have been conscripted in the town, and 7 or [-] people would be gathered to surround Youzhou City with three floors inside and three floors outside, and then the ants would attack the city. How many people would die in that way?Once the losses were great during the siege, the Tuoba clan in Yuzhou did not dare to surrender, because they were afraid of being massacred after the city was broken to vent their anger.This side attacked fiercely, while the other side defended to the death. God knows what the outcome will be. Anyway, both sides will suffer heavy casualties.

"Let's go, let's gather at Vice General Cui's side." Li Shaorong was a little discouraged.

Similar to Li Shaorong's side, there is also the Yi Cong Army Headquarters that has moved a hundred miles south of Youzhou.

A few days ago, two thousand grassland tribal cavalry broke through two tribes and captured many cattle and sheep.Later, they even rushed to the northern foot of Hengshan Mountain and plundered a small tribe that was said to be a vassal of the Wuzang clan.This tribe is mainly engaged in farming and has stockades, unlike the herdsmen on the grassland who are undefended, so only a small number of cattle, sheep, grains and small mouths were plundered.

However, Wei Mengbao also got an important news from these captives, that is, the Wuzang Clan in Hunzhou Chuan was going to send troops, and they had ordered their tribe to prepare food and servants.

The news was quickly sent to Shao Shude's desk, so he decided to adjust his deployment.

The main infantry did not move, they were still stationed outside the city, constantly inviting the enemy to fight and luring them to fight in the field.The cavalry began to gather slowly. There were more than 100 cavalry, covering a distance of more than [-] miles from Hengshan to Youzhou. Would the infantry of the Zang clan really dare to go deep?If you dare to come, that's fine!Along the way, various cavalry units took turns to harass and even attack on a small scale, making you unable to eat well, sleep well, anxious and tense, and always in a state of full vigilance. Eat it up.

It doesn't matter if you don't show your flaws.Lao Tzu started his career by relying on infantry, and his confidants have always been the more than 1 infantry of the Tielin Army and the Wuwei Army. This is his main wealth and the source of his power.With the elite soldiers who have been recharging their energy, you will not believe that you can't win against the mountain people who are extremely tired and have insufficient equipment!Maybe they can trick the Tuoba family out of the city and fight together!

"Li Yixian!" Shao Shude's fingers slid back and forth on the map, stopping at Baijingshu for a while, Wuyan City for a while, and Youzhou for a while.

"Marshal." Li Yixian saluted.

"Where is Zhe Silun?"

"I have entered the Youzhou territory, and I picked a tribe on the way. I heard that it is a close branch of the Tuoba family. The general hated it and slaughtered many people, so it took a while." Li Yixian replied.

Shao Shude shook his head. The meaning of "killed a lot of people" is probably all slaughtered, Li Yixian said this tactfully.

Shao Shude is not interested in the grievances between the Zhejue clan and the Tuoba clan, that tribe is considered unlucky for him, most likely he has the blood debt of the Zhejue clan in his hands.It was okay to have the support of the Tuoba family in the past, but now the Tuoba family can't shrink back. When they met the Zhejue family, they would naturally be miserable.

But how to say this kind of thing, Zhe Silun should also lose some soldiers and horses, right?Knowing that he must die, it is natural to resist desperately.If you know that you can surrender after you are defeated, then it is another matter to fight, and you can even surrender without fighting.

Yesterday, one of the ten Meixie clans took the initiative to come over and express their willingness to surrender.Shao Shude pardoned their crimes, and only asked them to kill those who were inclined to the Tuoba clan in the ministry. This matter is over, and they can pay tribute to Xiazhou with peace of mind in the future.

If you think about it a little bit, you will know that this tribe is actually just here to explore the way.I let them go, and it is conceivable that more tribes will come to seek refuge in the future.Tuoba's wings will become less and less day by day until they are bare.

"Commander, Tuoba Sigong's brother Sijian is here." While thinking about the deployment of the various armies, Li Yixian came in again to report.

The corners of Shao Shude's mouth curled up slightly.

"Let him come over." After turning around and sitting on the high-backed chair, he ordered.

After searching, Tuoba Sijian was brought into the tent.

"Tuoba Sijian, deputy envoy of the party's army and horses in Yuzhou, has met the commander." Tuoba Sijian was about thirty years old, with a weathered look on his face, he looked like an ordinary man on the grassland.

"General Tuoba still recognizes Shao as the commander-in-chief? Then why can't he be summoned repeatedly?"

"There is no peace in the state, various departments often make troubles, and my brother can't leave."

"There is such a thing?" Shao Shude said in surprise: "That is to give Tuoba Governor a booster. The Wuwei army has thousands of people, and they are used to fighting, so let them be stationed in Youzhou to assist Tuoba Governor, how about it? "

"How can the commander-in-chief be willing to retreat?" Tuoba Sijian asked directly after finding out that lip service was useless.

"I haven't been to Youzhou City since I took office. Why did Inspector Tuoba come out of the city to greet him? Someone is not someone who will kill everything. Inspector Tuoba has worked hard for many years. Inspector Pei of Chasui Prefecture has retired several times, so let Tuoba Let the governor go to Suizhou to take charge of the government." Shao Shude said: "The prosperity of Suizhou also allows the Tuoba family to enjoy wealth and honor. What's the point of living in Youzhou? What does General Tuoba think?"

Tuoba Sijian understood that this was actually Shao Shude's condition.Well said!Suizhou is the place where he started, and he went there to be a governor. Is that a real governor?Are you afraid you can't even get out the door?If you are sensible, if you don't contact the old department, you may become a rich man. If you still have contact with Youzhou Grassland, "sudden death" is a high probability.

Life and death are in the hands of man, how can this be possible!

"Commander, the Tuoba tribe is willing to donate thousands of horses, [-] cows, and [-] sheep, as long as the commander withdraws." Tuoba Sijian knew that it would be difficult for the two sides to negotiate, but he still planned to try, so he sent out He set his own conditions: "I heard that the commander-in-chief is a hero, and my younger brother Sijing has a daughter who is twenty-eight years old. She is beautiful and intelligent, and I would like to offer the commander-in-chief as a concubine."

Shao Shude smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Tuoba Inspector is still not giving up."

Tuoba Sijian's face changed when he heard the words, and he also changed his tone immediately, and said: "The commander is confident that he will win? You must know that there are hundreds of thousands of people in Pingxia's party, and the Tuoba clan is always the leader. All the ministries need to gather together with one order." When soldiers and horses come to fight, what will happen then?"

This is bragging!Pingxia Dangxiang, how can He De of the Tuoba clan command the ministries?Didn't Dang Linzhou Zhejia exist?Does the local Jin Zewei Cai family not exist?Now that a city is trapped and the ministries are separated, how many people are willing to listen to your family's orders?
"Since that's the case, why talk too much?" Shao Shude said with a smile: "General Tuoba should go back and tell Inspector Tuoba that the commander-in-chief is going to celebrate the new year in Youzhou."
