Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1234
The first battle of Wang Shixi's advance to Shanglong, that is, to recover Longcheng, did not take place as expected.

The reason why Longcheng is famous in later generations lies in another landmark, which is Jieting.Times have changed, customs have changed, and the former site of Jieting has long been abandoned. The only thing that remains the same is that this area is still a dangerous hub, and it controls the general trend of the East and the West.

Although the Fenwu Army's westward advance was rapid, it was not in a hurry.Shen Yun also knew that Master Wang would come back to Longshang after a long time, and the military might should not be easily frustrated. Any slight defeat would have very bad consequences.Therefore, the march this time is also extremely cautious. The [-] soldiers of the Fenwu Army are condensed into the central army, and the rear road includes thousands of soldiers from the Yangwu Army, more than [-] soldiers and hundreds of vehicles. .

A large army marched westward in a mighty way, crossing mountains and ridges and rushing out of the Long Road, but the expected situation of the army guarding did not appear. Although Long City, which is located between the mountains and valleys, also has the vicissitudes of the vicissitudes of life. , but there was no sign of a large-scale military build-up.

Not only was there no army gathering, there were not even many active Jin and Hu people around Longcheng, and they were not even as many as Shen Yun saw or appeased along the way. It is not suitable for living together, and every time there are people passing through here, if you don't have the strength, it is really not safe.

Of course, the city is not completely undefended. There are many figures shaking in the city and some of the surrounding fortifications. I don't know whether it is bandits or some surrounding forces' detection posts, but when the soldiers of the Fenwu Army rushed to the city, those people did not stand firm. There is no sign of recalcitrance, but fleeing in groups.

The most important pass on the Long Road was collected so easily, even though Shen Yun was very nervous and seldom sensitive, he couldn't help sighing: "The mountains and rivers are indeed steep, but if we want the country to last forever, we still need to rely heavily on manpower." ah!"

Even such an important pass city like Longcheng doesn't have that kind of force guarding it. It is conceivable that the people in Longshang are scattered. After the basic situation, Shen Yun would naturally not be polite.

The number of soldiers under him is close to tens of thousands. Except for the four thousand soldiers who are fighting and practicing martial arts, even the soldiers of the people are selected from Guanzhong to be brave and strong. Hu Youshi, the army marched into Longcheng to be stationed temporarily.

On the one hand, Shen Yun sent hundreds of elite soldiers down Lueyang River to check the situation, on the other hand, he reported the military situation to the back road, and asked for reinforcements to be stationed along the Long Road to strengthen the control of the passage.And he himself sat in Longcheng personally, commanding the soldiers to repair the city defense as soon as possible.As long as the fortress of Longcheng can be controlled, there is actually not much difference between entering Longshang sooner or later.

As Master Wang settled in Longcheng, there were signs of riots in the surrounding countryside soon, and there were many people in the mountains and valleys who gathered secretly to watch from afar, not daring to approach, and did not have any actual contact with Master Wang.

"Longshang's terrain is extremely steep, far from the flatness and expansion of Zhongzhou, and the solid ring belt of Guanzhong. Four Fields. Because it is between the ravines and mountains, there are many outsiders, who are darker than the law and farther than the kingly way. They can only be conquered by force, but it is difficult to restrain and herd them by law..."

Du He's cousin, Du Mi, avoided disasters in Hexi in the past, and had experience of traveling to and from Longshang, so this time when Shen Yun went to Longshang from the west, he also joined the army as a follower and guide.In addition to Du Mi, there are nearly a hundred guides in the team. Not all of them may be generalists, but their extensive intelligence can also involve all aspects of Longshang's scenery and customs.

For those people who were watching Master Wang's movements, through the introduction of Du Mi and others, Shen Yun gradually understood.Most of them are Di, Qiang and Hu people who live in the surrounding mountains and fields. They never know what the king's law is, and their deeds are barbaric and almost beastly.

Such an evaluation is not to slander and belittle, but because these people have indeed been in the barren land for a long time, have less stable communication with the outside world, and have little system and education concept other than survival.The most effective way to communicate with them is to establish a strong and invincible authority through violent conquest, so that they can be driven and instilled with the concept of enlightenment.

As for them gathering in the surrounding area, they may not have the guts to be an enemy of Master Wang. It is more likely that Master Wang's military equipment is too sophisticated, which arouses their greed. When fighting with other forces, fight out and reap the benefits.

Shen Yun couldn't help being amused when he heard the guides' psychological analysis of the crowd.He has never known what patience is, let alone tolerate these barbarians daring to have such intentions.

So while repairing the city defenses, Shen Yun also instructed the soldiers to pile up a lot of supplies on the plains outside the city, directly exposing them to the eyes of the surrounding Hu people.Sure enough, the rascals showed their greedy side and began to move towards Longcheng, and even some daring ones approached several miles away from Longcheng.

Seeing how greedy and forgetful these gangsters are, when they got close to a certain distance, the two battalions of warriors who had already gathered in the corner of the city rushed out, circled the city, and swept away.

Those Hu people were not lacking in toughness. Seeing Fenwu flying cavalry rushing forward, there were even some people brandishing sticks and clamoring to counterattack.There were quite a few of these pawns, large and small teams numbered thousands of people, probably because they felt that there were a lot of people, but most of them did not flee far away but came to attack.

But these chaotic mobs don't even have the basic formation, and the equipment is extremely simple, so how can they withstand the charge of the elite fighters.The Fenwu army didn't even bother to use their bows and crossbows, and directly charged into the crowd with their horses. After a shock and harvest, there were already hundreds of corpses in the field.

It was only then that those Hu people realized that each other's fighting strength was not at the same level, and began to flee and retreat. However, how could the Fenwu army allow them to advance and retreat freely? Driven to the city.

This level of fighting is like a joke. Shen Yun went out from the city to inspect these captives, but found that although these pawns have no rules of formation, if it is specific to each individual, there is no shortage of burly, majestic and brave men .

"There are many warriors in Longshang, but major generals are talented. When these soldiers gather together, they will scatter the sand, and if they walk alone, they will be stubborn. If the general suppresses them with coercion, and collects Ding Lishen to tame them, they will soon become an elite and brave army. "

Du Mi didn't just belittle these Hu soldiers, but gave a rather pertinent evaluation: "So in the old years when Chen An was powerful, most of the Hu tribes followed him, and he was even able to attack each other with Han and Zhao. Almost a serious problem."

"What Du Jun said is indeed true."

Shen Yun walked around these prisoners for a week, seeing that there were still many Hu soldiers who were fierce and glaring at him, and couldn't help feeling that taming these Hu soldiers into respectable and usable soldiers was far from a short-term effort.

"Let's take these disciples into service first, and those who resist or flee privately will be beheaded directly."

Shen Yun ordered casually, and sent hundreds of soldiers around the city to drive away those peeping soldiers.He was about to retreat to the city when suddenly someone among the captives shouted again.

Shen Yun turned his head and asked those Hu Zu to be pulled out. There were strange voices from those people, but he couldn't understand them at all, so he turned his head and looked at Du Mi. After listening for a while, Du Mi said in embarrassment: "Huh!" The sound is messy, and it is really difficult for me to distinguish it."

Fortunately, there are many guides in the army, and someone understood the expressions of these Hu Zu, and took a military talisman from one of them and presented it: "That Hu Zu Chen Yan is a good Hu who respectfully accepts the king's order. Master Wang entered the country, attracting crowds to join the army..."

Shen Yun took the rusty military talisman, carefully identified it for a long time, and then asked the group of guides behind him, only then did he realize that the military talisman was actually given by the Han Dynasty.After further interrogation, they finally understood the origin of these Hu Zu. They were originally a part of the Qiang people who lived in the depths of Longshan Mountain. Inherited for more than ten generations.As the number of Hu tribes on the border of Longshan gradually decreased, they migrated to the surrounding area of ​​Longcheng.

Hearing the old stories of Qiang Hu and Chen Longshang, Shen Yun couldn't help feeling that the world is impermanent and the situation is changing. Although he didn't believe that these Hu people wanted to join the army, his thoughts were drawn to the prosperous years of the strong man for a while, and he couldn't help but sigh Said: "My generation used bravery to rejuvenate the king's career, but I don't know if I can regain the glory of Han Ji in my lifetime!"

Those Hu people were still begging for mercy over and over again, and the word "Han" in their words became more and more clear, which inevitably made Shen Yun and the soldiers around him even more deeply hate the Huns and Hu Kou for tarnishing the prestige of the strong Han.

However, there was no need to endure this emotion for too long, and soon there was a target to vent.A few days after entering Longcheng, with the grasp of the surrounding situation, the scope of the front-line scouts' activities became farther and farther, and they reported a military message, saying that there was a group of Hu people coming north along the river from Lueyang River in the south, and the soldiers The main force is to slaughter everyone all the way.

In addition to recovering the old land, Wang Shi's western expedition also had another important task, which was to wipe out the Tuge thieves who were the first to cause chaos and usurp the system.After discovering the traces of the enemy, Shen Yun left the lieutenant general and Du Mi and others to stay behind and continue to repair Longcheng, while he personally led two thousand elite soldiers to go straight down to Lueyangchuan, preparing to face the enemy Hu along the way.

There are steep mountains on the left and right of Lueyang River, and the terrain is like a heavy ax chiseling out of the mountains, which is extremely steep and spectacular.Although there are many canals on the left and right of the river that go deep into the mountains, if a large-scale march is dispatched, only this main river can carry out a large-scale march.

The two armies clashed from north to south, and soon after, the scouts had practical contact, and mutual understanding began to deepen.

Coming from the south road, this road slaughters everyone, and its general is named Wang Zhuo. In addition to his family background, he is actually the town general of Jie Zhao in Longshang in the early years. With the collapse of Jie Zhao, this Wang Zhuo gradually Breaking away from Guanzhong Shisheng's control, he became active in Longshang as an independent force.

Tu Ge himself deserved to die, but he didn't expect that this Wang Zhuo was actually the thief general Jie Zhao left behind in Longshang, so there was no reason to allow him to live.That's why Shen Yun also gathered his forces and prepared with all his strength for the first intense battle in Longshang, hoping to shock the ground with a brilliant victory!
