I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 200 No martial ethics

Zhao Yun knew that Huangfusong's order was correct, and his actions were resolutely executing military orders.

He did not hesitate when attacking, because the general's mercy would cost the lives of his soldiers, and he would not do so.

But the current situation after the attack... Facing the desperate old and weak women and crying children, Zhao Yun couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.

Zhao Yun promoted the court's new policies to the prisoners several times and painted a bright future.

But probably the capricious impression of the officials sent by the Han Dynasty in the past was too deep in the minds of these Qiang people. Zhao Yun, who had attacked them, could not convince them with his words alone.

At least that's what Zhao Yun thought.

When he rested during the march, he told Guan Yu his troubles. However, the two were inseparable, and Guan Yu also had the same troubles.

They are all people who are unwilling to use weapons on defenseless people.

"Are the two generals worried about those Qiang people? I see that they walk slowly, are they unwilling to follow the general?" A Zhen suddenly appeared and asked.

Zhao Yun had known Azhen's identity from Guan Yu before, and had no prejudice against him. He nodded and said: "They have surrendered, so I don't want to fear them with death. But if I continue to delay, I may miss my return date." ”

Azhen quickly rode his skinny horse towards the Qiang captives.

"The general is too kind-hearted and was too kind to them before. So after they get benefits, they want more benefits. I often have contact with the Qiang people and know what they think."

"If there's nothing else, I'll just go watch them again."

The two of them called Azhen out of curiosity and asked about the reason.

The military orders were overwhelming, and at that time he had no choice but to use swords instead of lips.

"If I scare them, they will only hate me, not the general."

The military commander sent someone to report: "What he said was Qiang language, and my subordinates didn't understand it."

Later, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu saw that wherever A Zhen went, it would not take long for the Qiang prisoners nearby to react violently. This happened several times, and all the Qiang people had experienced it.

"..."

After Azhen left, Zhao Yun looked at the innocent-looking Guan Yu, and after a while he said, "Yun Chang, are we using barbarians to fight barbarians?"

Zhao Yun looked at Guan Yu, who nodded.

In the past, when Zhao Yun was in Youzhou, as long as he was kind to those who surrendered, he would be grateful and grateful. But in Liangzhou, his experience actually failed.

After setting off again, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu found that the Qiang people's actions had accelerated much faster.

Azhen has been staying close to the Qiang people.

"A master is a teacher?"

Zhao Yun then called a Quhou to cooperate with Azhen.

Azhen requested: "If the general can trust this villain, I can help those Qiang people speed up their journey."

Azhen stretched out a hand to scratch her head with an honest face and replied: "I just told them that they have dragged me down. If they are not respectful and continue to delay, I will slander the general and kill them all. "

Guan Yu suddenly understood that they still lacked some understanding of Liangzhou's cruelty.

The two returned to the camp within the return period. Huangfu Song was indeed very interested in the Di tribe and confirmed Guan Yu's foresight.

On the Han army's side, with the smooth arrival of three thousand Southern Huns cavalry brought by Yuv Luo, plus the infantry and cavalry sent by the Northern Xiongnu and Anding Qiang who had no contact with the Southern Huns, the number of the Han army further increased, exceeding Twenty thousand people. Soldiers are more expensive than elites. Among the more than 20,000 people, there are 10,000 elite Han troops. In this era, no one dares to underestimate them.

The Yi Cong from various places, especially the Southern Xiongnu cavalry, were the most elite because they had to deal with Xianbei all year round and sometimes had to face conscription by the Han Dynasty.

With the addition of these cavalry, Huangfu Song and Sun Jian attacked the bandits Qiangtun more frequently, and the Han army always left people to report to Jincheng.

Jincheng County.

Han Sui had already cut two tables in pieces.

As the news of the attack on the tribe spread to Han Sui's army, except for the Huangzhong Qiang, Shaodang Qiang and other Qiang people stationed behind Han Sui, many Qiang soldiers bid farewell to Han Sui and went back to aid their respective tribes. Even some Qiang soldiers The human settlement of Qiang was not yet within the scope of the attack.

The Qiang people whose tribes have been attacked hope to find their tribesmen, and there are even Qiang people who have the idea of ​​defecting to the Han.

As soon as Tou Han thinks of it, the sky and the earth become wider.

After all, judging from the news, their tribe is probably still alive.

The most important reason why Han Sui was able to gather all the Qiang people for his own use was his reputation among the Qiang people. He knew that if he forcibly prevented the Qiang people from returning at this moment, the reputation he had accumulated over the years would be destroyed.

There was no reply to the previous letter exchanging protons, so Han Sui knew that Ma Teng had broken his oath.

As a last resort, he could only leave the Qiang soldiers to guard against Ma Teng stealing his home, and then personally led more than 10,000 Qiang and Hu cavalry to rescue him.

Later, he joined forces with Yan Xing and also left the infantry to defend the city, gathering more than 15,000 Qiang and Hu cavalry to face the Han army. These more than 15,000 cavalry were the strongest mobile force that Han Sui had in his hands, exceeding the number of cavalry in the Han army.

However, the Qiang and Hu cavalry could only compete with the Han cavalry in horses, swords, guns, bows and arrows. When it comes to iron armor and vests, there is no comparison at all.

Han Sui's idea was to use the mobility of the cavalry to avoid a decisive battle with the Han army, and to rely on sufficient cavalry to suppress the Han army's range of action, and finally turn the battle back into a siege battle by the Han army.

His idea was very good, and he deliberately did not bring infantry for this reason.

But how could Huangfu Song let him have his way?

Although Huangfu Song and Sun Jian were divided into two armies, they deliberately controlled the two armies, and the two Han armies were not far apart. They had already anticipated Han Sui's arrival. After finding out the news about Han Sui, they quickly joined forces.

All the generals understood that drawing Han Sui out this time was the decisive battle planned by Huangfu Song.

If Han Sui's largest rebel force can be defeated in one battle, then it will only be a matter of time before Liangzhou is pacified.

For Huangfusong, this can save a lot of money and food!

During the time when he was in charge of the third auxiliary farm, Huangfu Song had to consider the issue of money and food every day - when to put food, how much to put, whether it can be saved...each item needs to be carefully considered.

He gained a deeper understanding of the need to save money.

As soon as the Han army and the Liangzhou rebels faced each other, Huangfu Song gathered the army, leaving only a few soldiers to guard the camp, and then the whole army attacked.

This time Huangfu Song didn't talk about any strategies, only head-on confrontation. The strong one won and the weak one lost.

Seeing this scene, Han Sui was stunned for a moment. He had faced Huangfu Song twice in the past, and Huangfu Song always responded with defense first. Why did he fight this time without respecting martial ethics?

You don’t have as many cavalry as I do. Aren’t you afraid to see my twenty thousand cavalry rounded up here?

Why!

Yan Xing knew Han Sui's purpose of sending troops and asked loudly: "Sir, are you fighting or retreating?"
