Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 113
In April of the second year of Chuping.

At the time when Liangzhou's undercurrent was surging, no one expected that Luo Zheng's situation in Jincheng was not stable, and he would dare to take the initiative to attack under the encirclement of various armies. Dang and Gong Tang Erqiang.

And Luo Zheng's fierce and bloody methods almost scared the courage of all Qianghu tribes.

The two tribes with a population of tens of thousands were completely wiped out within three days. Most of the adult men were killed, and all the women were rewarded by Luo Zheng to the Qiang and Hu cavalry under him. None of the old, weak, sick or disabled were left behind, and they were all buried alive.

And the executioner who did it directly was the [-] Qiang and Hu cavalry under Luo Zheng's command.

Such a bloody method severely shocked all the Qianghu tribes.

Luo Zheng's strategy is very simple and effective.

It is to use bloody means to severely suppress those opposing forces and try to win over the attached Qianghu tribe.

Although it was condemned by some scholar-bureaucrats with ulterior motives, it was of great benefit to stabilizing the situation in Jincheng County that had just been occupied. It guaranteed the loyalty of the Qiang and Hu cavalry under his command, effectively solving the huge hidden danger of the lack of loyalty of his troops.

Within ten days, those Qiang and Hu tribes who had not participated in the Baicaotan League and were frightened out of their wits offered cattle, sheep, money and food, expressing their willingness to accept the transfer order from the Great Han Hu Qiang School Lieutenant's Division, and no one dared to say no again.

Luo Zheng ignored these Qianghu tribes, because he had more important things to do.

Yunwu, the meeting hall.

The counselors, generals and schools gathered together, dozens of people.

Luo Zheng's civil servants and military generals are almost all present, Liang Xing, Yang Qiu, Yincheng and other generals are all present, even Wu Yi is allowed to participate in this formal military meeting for the first time, and Han Sui's confidant Cheng Ying is also present Under Wu Yi's head.

Luo Zheng was the first case alone, looking around with burning eyes.

"Wen Ruo, tell me the specific situation!"

His eyes finally fell on Xun Yu, the chief on the left, and Luo Zheng said in a deep voice.

"As ordered!"

Xun Yu arched his hands, and then said solemnly: "Xiaozuo sent back the news that the first batch of military rations from the imperial court had been transported to Didao, and Ma Teng's army had left Didao and marched northward to Yuzhong; Huangfu Jianshou's three thousand troops and the North The [-]-strong army of Gai Xun, the prefect of the locality, has joined forces to advance to Yuyin, which is less than ten days away from Yunwu. Guzang is the closest to Jincheng, and Zhang Meng's [-]-strong army has passed Wuling, and Lingju is not far away. In three days' journey, the Shaodang and Gongtang Erqiangs have been crushed, and our army only needs to repel Huangfu Jianshou, Zhang Meng, Gai Xun and Ma Teng's troops!"

Luo Zheng asked Gao Shun again, "How is the farm going?"

Gao Shun replied: "All the spring wheat has been planted, and the farmland is fine right now, just in time to train soldiers, but..."

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Just what?"

Gao Shun said: "It's just that there are too few weapons and armors to equip the whole army. Leaving aside the armors, the vast majority of soldiers can't even equip a single weapon at hand. If they are ordered to go out to fight, it may be difficult for them to be responsible."

Luo Zheng looked at Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, I'll leave this to you!"

Xun Yu smiled wryly and said, "The general doesn't know that Xiliang rarely produces iron. Right now the princes stand side by side and are recruiting troops. They can't buy fine iron at all. Jincheng has no iron mines. They want to equip an army of [-]. The weapon is indeed quite difficult."

Luo Zheng frowned and said: "Weapon armor is the most important material to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, how can it be missing. Difficulties are used to overcome, and the methods are all thought of by people. This general does not believe that there is no solution The method. Ask those Qiang and Hu tribes to provide refined iron to the general. The grain, cattle and sheep are not required. The general only needs refined iron. If there is no copper, it is fine. Some bronze and iron wares? Let the old horse seize the time to melt them and make them into weapons. If there are not enough craftsmen, send all the slaves captured from Shaodang and Gong Tang."

Xun Yu happily said, "I obey."

Only then did Luo Zheng clear his throat, looked around at the people in the hall, and said: "Okay, the specific situation is like this, this general was ordered by the emperor to pacify the town of Xiqiang, Ma Teng, Zhang Meng and other rebels dared to mobilize the crowd to attack, It is truly treasonous. Therefore, this general decided to send troops to defeat the rebels Zhang Meng, Huangfu Jianshou and Gai Xun, and then fight Ma Teng to the death. What do you think?"

"Willing to be driven by the general!"

Everyone clasped their hands together, and naturally understood what was going on.

These days, it is not uncommon for princes to fight for territory.

As for those high-sounding words, they are just putting on a show, paying attention to a teacher who is famous.

In fact, in the final analysis, it still depends on whose fist is bigger.

Those present here are either generals or wise counselors, none of them are stupid, so naturally they all know it well.

Luo Zhenglang said: "Okay, Wu Xi listens to the order."

Wu Xi hurriedly got up to go out, stood under the hall, cupped his hands and said, "The last general is here."

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Lead the five thousand elites of the headquarters to guard Yunwu, and nothing will be lost."

"The last will obey."

Wu Xi cheered up and hurriedly responded loudly.

Yunwu is now the foundation of Luo Zheng, guarding Yunwu is naturally a heavy responsibility.

No matter how important Wu Xi can be entrusted with, he naturally feels that his face is bright.

The last time Han Sui's army attacked Lingju and almost lost the city, Wu Xi broke out in a cold sweat from fright.I thought that Luo Zheng would probably put himself in the cold palace. After all, I am not Luo Zheng's confidant. If there is such a big leak, how can I not settle the score after the fall.

But I didn't expect that after Luo Zheng returned to Lingju, he didn't mention this matter at all, and he didn't mean to settle accounts after autumn.

Wu Xi was grateful, but he was also emotional.

Without taking the opportunity to put himself in the cold palace, Luo Zheng is somewhat tolerant.

And in the past few months, seeing Luo Zheng subdue Qianghu, Han Sui who had been entrenched in Xiliang for several years in the First World War, wiped out the most fiercely resisting Qianghu tribes under his rule with thunderous force, the foundation more and more stable,

As long as Ma Teng, Zhang Meng and other armies are repelled, they will completely gain a foothold in Liangzhou.

Wu Xi can't help but have a bit of style. Compared with the full of complaints when he first drove to Liangzhou, Wu Xi now has great hopes for Luo Zheng to lay a foundation in Liangzhou. After all, he and Luo Zheng sat on the seat same boat.

Since Luo Zheng didn't intend to kick himself away last time, he has a chance.

Wu Xi intends to cheer up and perform well. Even if he doesn't seek to kill the enemy and make meritorious service, at least he must keep his promise. When Luo Zheng pacifies Liangzhou and creates a foundation, he will be rewarded for his merits. a copy of

If he knew that Luo Zheng wanted to kick him aside a long time ago, he just didn't want to chill the soldiers of the Northern Army, and because he didn't have any generals who stood alone, he didn't put him in the cold palace for the time being, and there would be absolutely no meritorious service thought up.

Luo Zheng looked at Xun Yu again, and said: "After the general goes out, he will allow me to defend, and Wen Ruo has to worry about it."

Xun Yu said happily, "Don't worry, General, Yu will live up to his trust."
