Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 195 Cai Zhen's Tragedy

Caizhen assembled a large army of begging ghosts and ghosts, forming an army of 10 to [-]. In addition to other small groups of begging troops, all men, women, and children went into battle together. A total of nearly [-] people surrounded the Banished Fairy Valley.Cai Zhen tried to launch two or three small-scale tentative attacks on Banxian Valley, but Ji Kan easily repelled them.

Instead of taking advantage of the slightest advantage, they lost troops and generals, and the morale of the coalition forces was low.At this moment, the news of Gao Jingzong's defeat of Murong Chui and the victory of Suicheng in the first battle came, the commanders of dozens of begging troops all left overnight without saying goodbye, and scattered like birds and beasts.In just a few days, the army of [-] to [-] reached nearly [-] soldiers and civilians, more than half the number.

To make matters worse, Liu Jian, the commander-in-chief of Pengcheng Liu's family, the eighth most powerful beggar army in the coalition army, suddenly fell ill.Su Jingyun, the general of the Su family in Zhongshan, was also broken suddenly.The unfavorable start made Cai Zhen almost desperate.In fact, Liu Jian was not sick at all, but he received a letter from his son Liu Laozhi.

Liu Laozhi told Liu Jian bluntly, "It doesn't matter if you want to die, old man. Don't implicate the Liu family of Pengcheng." .In fact, there are two branches of the Liu family in Pengcheng, one of which is the descendant of Liu Jiao, the younger brother of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Western Han Dynasty. (Liu Yu, the founding emperor of Liu Song Dynasty, is the 22nd grandson of Liu Jiao).The other branch is the family of Chu Xiaowang Liu Xiao.Liu Laozhi, the Pengcheng Liu family, belonged to the descendants of Chu Xiaowang Liu Xiao.However, since the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiao was abolished as the prince, and the Chu Xiaowang family began to decline.Although the Chu Xiao royal family has declined, the Liu family is still a powerful family in Pengdi.

When Liu Jian saw Liu Laozhi's family letter, which was almost an ultimatum, he felt even more complicated. "What is Tiger Head doing now?"

The messenger was stunned, and it took him a while to react and said: "Little General Liu is currently the eighth general of the Beifu Army!"

Liu Jiandao: "Is this General Zhonglang the Huben Yulin of the Han Dynasty, who is in Erqianshi, a high position second only to the general?"

The messenger nodded and said: "I don't know about this humble man. We have nine Zhonglang generals in the Beifu army, and each commander has two Lang generals on the left and right, and four Zhechong captains... Oh, yes, there are two Zhonglang generals in one Zhonglang's mansion." More than ten thousand people"

According to Gao Jingzong's original intention, General Zhonglang is actually equivalent to the rank of Brigadier General or Colonel of later generations, commanding a regular army of a division.However, the expansion of the Beifu army was so fast that Gao Jingzong didn't even have time to judge the abilities of the generals at the lower level, so he rashly promoted generals he didn't know. For Gao Jingzong, it was not conducive to commanding the army.So step by step, he promoted the original military candidate to Sima of Biebu, and then to Lieutenant of Battalion.When Gao Jingzong adopted the Fubing system, it was completely messed up again.Gao Jingzong organized the troops indiscriminately, and actually raised the Zhonglang general to a higher level, which was almost the same level as the Zhonglang general in the Han system.

When Liu Jian heard this, he was shocked and said, "Your Beifu army actually has 20 troops?"

The messenger said: "There should be more than 20 people. Our high governor divided the entire army into eight Zhonglang General's Mansions, one Guard Zhonglang General's Mansion, and four Baggage Zhonglang General's Mansions. The Baggage Zhonglang General's Mansion is under the jurisdiction 2 horses should be less than 30 horses!"

Liu Jian is very aware of the strength of the feudal lords in this era. If there are tens of thousands of people and 8000 horses, they dare to become kings and hegemons. All less than ten thousand.In fact, the entry and exit of the entire eight begging army of ghosts and creatures is more expensive than the prince.

Gao Jingzong has more than 30 people, and he will definitely be able to establish a country.Liu Laozhi followed Gao Jingzong at least to be able to be a dragon.After Liu Jian got the news, he retreated immediately. Gao Jingzong with 30 horses is no longer something he can provoke at his level. Even if Gao Jingzong's base camp is broken through the Immortal Valley, it will not hurt Gao Jingzong's foundation.Gao Jingzong can get the place back at any time.

Liu Jian also didn't say hello to Cai Zhen, and immediately led his army to retreat, and then sent someone with a lot of gifts to bribe Xi Tan, the general of Beizhong Lang, hoping to accept the Eastern Jin Dynasty's recruitment.

At the same time, the Su family in Zhongshan also received a letter from Su Gu.Su Jingyun from the Zhongshan Su family was more kind, pretending that he had broken his leg, and then took the Zhongshan Su family's begging work to join Gao Jingzong collectively.

Ji Kan was sleeping soundly on the wall of the Banished Fairy Valley.

Suddenly Liu Meng, the general of the Beifu army, shouted suddenly: "All ministries are in their positions, ready for battle!"

The sound of war drums rang, and Ji Kan, who was sleeping soundly in the gate tower, was awakened, and Ji Kan shouted, "What's going on?"

"The enemy is coming!"

Liu Meng's voice came from outside the gate tower.

"Good time!" Ji Kan glared, and casually picked up the ring knife beside him.Hastily rushed to the city wall.However, something happened that surprised Liu Meng.

There were five or six hundred people who came up this time, and everyone drooped their heads, listless.They neither drew their knives nor lighted their spears, but raised the white flag of the city and shouted for surrender.

"Ji Shuai, what should we do?" Liu Meng had no idea at this time.

Ji Kan sighed and said, "Open the city gate and accept their surrender, they are all poor people, why kill each other!"

Liu Meng imitated Gao Jingzong's tone and said: "Throw down the weapon, put your head in your hands, and kneel down!"

These ghost begging army did not hesitate, and then threw the inferior knives and guns in their hands to the ground.Liu Meng personally went down to the city to accept the surrender of these ghost begging army.

Just when this wave of descendants had not been fully accepted, suddenly another wave came from a distance, thousands of people.These people have completely given up their fighting spirit at this moment. If Gao Jingzong still led six Zhonglang generals with more than 30 troops, these people would dare to fight and copy Gao Jingzong's back route.But when they knew that Gao Jingzong defeated Murong Chui with few enemies and many enemies, their minds were already shaken.When Gao Jingzong took Sui County, an important town in eastern Henan from Yan Guo, and the army expanded to nearly [-] horses, they had completely lost their fighting spirit.Facing the Beifu army, they completely lost their sense of resistance.

What's more, Gao Jingzong's policy of rewarding land for military merit gave them hope of survival. In fact, this set of policies was not invented by Gao Jingzong, but the farming and warfare system established during the Qin Dynasty.The Dahan used this improved version of the plowing and warfare system to spread the land in all directions and expand the soil for thousands of miles.Taking advantage of the policy of rewarding land for military merit, the Tang army played triumphant songs all the way, starting from Chang'an, fighting northward to the shore of Lake Baikal, occupying the Far East eastward, and fighting westward to the east bank of the Caspian Sea.

Many refugees already know that it is a path that allows them to regain freedom, change their lives, and change their destiny through their own hard work.

The more than a thousand people have just received half of them, and this time nearly 2000 people came, and they also got a shocking news. After joint discussions among the Cai clan, the Cai clan's begging army decided to surrender to the Beifu army, and Cai Zhen and his son won the Beifu army. Forgive chips.

Looking at the head still dripping blood on the tray.

Liu Meng was speechless for a moment.
