Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2528 Some people care about inheritance in order to survive

  Taixing six years, winter.

  Ding Lingren was cut into three pieces, and most of them entered Liaodong along the way, occupying the original territory of Gongsun Army.

  Part of them were in the middle, completely defeated by Zhao Yun and others, those who surrendered surrendered, and those who fled fled.

  The other part went west, intersecting with Zhang Yun and other Rouran troops, and some of them arrived near Yinshan Mountain and began to contact Li Dian.

  At any time, the leader is always the one who makes the decision, but if the decision is wrong and the first to be unlucky, it must be the people. This is the case with the Dingling people. When the commander of Dingling decided to raise troops to invade Liaodong, it may be doomed to the final destruction of the Dingling people. Even if a part of the Dingling people snatched the territory of Liaodong Gongsun, it is obvious that the Dingling people lack follow-up If the technology tree cannot be developed, the ending can be imagined.

  The Dingling people who fled to the west actually followed the old path of the Huns fleeing to the Western Regions.

  The same haste, the same hesitation, the same endless fear of the future, embarked on such an old road.

  Ding Lingren didn't think about taking Yinshan completely, their strategy was to grab one and leave.

   Hit a time difference.

  Before Fei Qian, the general of hussars, could react, he swung a hammer, snatched it and ran away.

   Now it has entered the era of meager profits for the northern nomadic tribes. Maybe ten years ago, no, a few years ago, these nomads probably felt that they couldn't even imagine themselves being coquettish, how could it be so unbearable?

The Dingling people are in a hurry for this battle, but they still have some hope. For these Dingling people, this is a battle of last resort. The time he can choose is very limited, and the preparation is very urgent, so there is no need to talk about it. Think about it, think about it a lot.

  But although the Ding Ling people in this part were in a hurry, at least they didn't go head-to-head with Zhao Yun and others.

   But, I ran into Li Dian.

Zhang He took Rouran Jiankun and other attached troops all the way to the east from the north, and these Dingling people came from the gap between Zhang He and Zhao Yun's headquarters like a parallel line, before Zhang He formed an encirclement with Zhao Yun and others. time, escaped.

Because of Fei Qian's intervention in this era, the northern desert not only accelerated the decline of Xianbei, but also made the Dingling people who succeeded Xianbei also enter a corrupt situation. However, one thing remained unchanged, that is, this desert , is still so huge.

Yinshan is based on the old cavalry army, and the military framework is dominated by new recruits. In terms of combat effectiveness, of course it cannot compare with those powerful frontier troops under Zhao Yun's command, so from this aspect, Ding Lingren can be regarded as a bargain. ?

  Ding Ling came here obviously for the purpose of looting, and their marching route was planned to sweep as much as possible across a wider area. Their combat plan itself does not actually aim at any military target, its purpose is all for food and goods, people and livestock.

  In the desert of the Northern Territory, the act of robbery is actually a "business" if it is said.

  How to legally, uh, wrong, reasonable, um, maximize profits is indeed a particular business.

  Before this business was profitable.

You only need to wave your hand, give a command, tens of thousands of people swarm up, and then you can easily enter the Han land, break the lock of the Han people, and put the things hanging on the wall in the Han people's home on the table Yes, those hidden in the corner, pack them all up and take them away! There is no need to pay a penny, at most it is a little effort!

  In addition to material money, there is also population. Basically, the robbed population is mainly to supplement the population loss of the tribes. As long as they pay 30% to 50% of the population to the royal court, the rest is their own. And there is a coordinated distribution. The two-legged and four-legged animals captured in the counties and counties of the Han area are sent directly to the designated border area, and then the tribe in the border port is responsible for escorting them back to the desert.

At that time, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty were scattered all over the country, and they were too timid to go out to fight. When encountering barbarians looting, they would prevaricate by saying that they didn't have an order, and even kowtowed to the damaged people and shed tears of grief. The sympathy of the suffering people, on the other hand, is to express their innocence, "Without the order from above, I am powerless..."

   Then he turned around and wiped away the tears that didn't exist. As for whether there was an application before, whether there was a conclusion after that, and whether there was a follow-up, it was none of his business.

Officials of the Han people are afraid of doing things. One more thing is worse than one less thing. They are like puppets. There is no order from the top, and no one can move. When the top has an order, when they feel that they are beneficial, they will act crazily and take advantage of the opportunity to make money. Sometimes it is with a mournful face, as if he is about to go to the execution ground in the next moment. So at that time, the Han people, from the officials to the soldiers, were quite afraid of the nomadic people in the desert. As long as there were "large-scale" nomadic soldiers and horses around, they would naturally stay within the city walls and wait for them. Impossible order.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once changed the Han soldiers from weak to strong, from ghosts to humans, but later emperors and officials, especially in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, secretly changed the Han soldiers from strong to human Weak, from human to ghost.

  Until the arrival of Feiqian...

This is not a characteristic of Chinese people. It is the same in ancient and modern China and foreign countries. The description of lions and sheep in later generations also shows that once there is no suitable leader, the inferiority of human beings will expand without limit. No matter how good it was before, it will be the same. inevitable corruption.

  In the north of Yinshan Mountain, a simple camp was almost covered by wind and snow.

   This camp built in the middle of the mountain probably has two or three thousand people. There are no flags in the camp, and there are no decorations related to glory.

  The tattered door curtain of one of the tents was opened, and a small man walked out with his arms up to cover his face, and after adapting to the cold wind, he lowered his arms.

  Snowflakes fell one after another, and the head and body of this small man were soon covered with a layer of light white.

   Immediately afterwards, two lingling people came out. The three stood in the snow for a while, and then climbed up the hillside on one side.

  The three of them climbed up the hill with one foot deep and one shallow foot.

  Ding Lingren ventured to Yinshan Mountain because he was too hungry. Dingling knew that Zhao Yun's troops had just been mobilized not long ago, and they were going to the middle of the desert. Even if they found their tracks, it would take time to move back and forth, so there was still a gap, and they had to take advantage of this gap to get more supplies.

  『Leader, this time, since the elite of the Han people have all gone to the central region, can we grab some more time? 』

  『That’s right, the sons and daughters are all starving, and there are also horses and sheep. It is said that there are many in Yinshan...』

  Ding Lingtou pondered for a long time before saying: "It can't be too long...Because the Han people still have soldiers, not just those in the east, we must move quickly..."

  Ding Lingtou was talking, and couldn't help but glance back at his camp. This is a group of people from three or four tribes. In the Dingling camp in the middle of the mountain, it looks like a wounded beast curled up in a cave. Its complexion is decaying, its hair is tattered, it is cowardly and anal, and its bluff is even more frightening. disturbed.

  However, this is also the time when Ding Lingren is the most brutal...

   Hungry like crazy.

  Hunger, go crazy or die, or go crazy once before dying.

   Barefoot people are not afraid of shoes.

  As long as you can bear it.

  Mature men are the main population, but there are also many old and weak, but this old and weak is relative, because the youngest among them is thirteen or fourteen years old, and the oldest is no more than fifty years old.

   while smaller and older...

  Ding Lingtou looked up at the sky.

  Snowflakes are falling.

"Even God..." Ding Lingtou muttered for a while, and then realized that saying this might hurt morale. Although the morale is negligible at the moment, it can always be saved, so he coughed. "I see that the snow... is about to stop..."

  Ding Lingren was pressed and beaten once, and his strength was greatly reduced. It must be false to say that Ding Lingren did not have hatred for the Han people in his heart. It's just true whether you're hungry or not. If they can't get supplies, most people will die on the way even if they can reach the Western Regions.

  『After the snow stops and melts...We will lure the Han people out...As long as the Han people dare to come up, they will definitely fall into the trap...』

  『Then, we can take advantage of the weakness of the Han people and rush in...but we can’t stay for long. Don't go too deep into the Yin Mountains, and don't attack the Han people's city Wubao...』

  『Leader, if...』 One of them swallowed a little saliva and said with some difficulty, "I just said if... if we..."

  The leader of Dingling didn't wait for the man to finish speaking, he waved his hand and said, "No if! 』

   Paused for a moment, Ding Lingtou added again, "I mean it, there is no if..."

  The other two fell silent, not knowing whether they agreed or were helpless in the face of the current predicament.

  Snow, I don’t know when, it stopped.

  …(╯︵╰)…

  Before the heavy snow completely melted away, Li Dian took the initiative to attack with his people.

  Although Li Dian's martial arts is not top-notch, he is relatively a bucket-shaped general, average in all aspects, and this average is higher than that of ordinary generals. This makes Li Dian more like an all-rounder, who can both attack and defend. At the same time, he is not a general who is completely passive. He prefers to control the initiative on the battlefield and find out the weak points of the opponent to strike.

  Like this time, Li Dian chose to take the lead.

  Li Dian stood at the top of the slope, with a veil on his face, looking into the distance.

  Behind him is a long queue, repairing on the spot.

   The scouts scattered, and the horseshoes trampled on the remnant snow, with some gray spots.

  Large sleds dragged snake-like trails in the snow.

  Speaking of which, Li Dian really rarely pulls the cavalry out for drills after it snows...

   Li Dian looked at the new cavalry who were still immature and nervous in their actions, and his mood was very calm. He didn't feel any worry about the battle at all, because the enemy was too weak.

  The enemy's simple strategy can even be described as extremely superficial.

  Of course, in Ding Lingren's perception, that is already a very advanced strategy.

  The only thing Li Dian considers now is the total number of Ding Ling people.

  Because of the lack of culture of Dingling people, it may actually be more difficult than fighting a battle to understand how much the arrested Dingling people said "many, many, many, many" represent.

  So Li Dian actually made two-handed preparations, if he can fight, he will fight, if he can't fight, he will leave. The reason why Li Dian is so confident that he can take the initiative on the battlefield is because of the sufficient logistics equipment under Hussars, and the "Jianwutang Dibao" regularly shared from Zhao Yun...

  Original battles depend on the level of the generals.

   If the upper and lower limits of generals are relatively consistent, they are relatively stable, and the range is generally controllable. If there is a large gap between the upper and lower limits of generals, it is inevitable that the dice will not be rolled well. The current "Jianwutang Dibao" may not be able to raise the upper limit of all generals, but it can increase the lower limit of some generals.

  Because of some information, it is really easy to know, but it is easy to get stuck if you don’t know it.

   "Jiaowutang Dibao", at the very beginning, was the same as the purpose of the Jiangwutang, regardless of success or failure, directly report the war to teach future generations. Even the great general of the hussars posted some of his own crappy battles in Hangu Pingyang to warn future generations, as well as Xu Huang's, Zhang Liao's, etc., there are some poorly done cases.

  Even victorious battles were judged as "not to be imitated", "extremely dangerous", or "failure would affect the entire army", such as Wei Yan's battles...

   Therefore, military merit is military merit, and the mansion report is the mansion report. Military merit only depends on the results. If you win, you will be rewarded according to the results, while the Dibao is more inclined to the tactical and academic level, and they are two different systems.

  Just like this time, Li Dian learned from the "Jianwutang Dibao" that he should pay attention to when marching in the snow, and the adverse consequences if he did not pay attention to these.

   Mainly frostbite and glare.

  The best way to prevent frostbite is of course fur and oil.

   And Yinshan just happens to have no shortage of fur and oil, plus cotton and hemp linoleum, basically it is not a big problem.

  Glare, there are relatively few fine silks, but there are a lot of tattered linen, which can barely be used.

  At this time, the cavalry scouts in the distance had already stood on some high places, inserted the road signs, and waved the small green square flag. According to the marching regulations of hussars, scouts or vanguards must be dispatched to search for any obstacles, rivers, valleys, forests, unknown places, etc., and the safety of the areas where people and horses may be hidden must be checked before the large troops can march...

  『General, there are no abnormalities around. 』The guards beside Li Dian made an inventory, and then reported.

   Li Dian nodded slightly.

   After a while, a team leader under the **** reported loudly that the snow water collection was full.

   Li Dian smiled and waved his arms, "Go! 』

   The guard responded, and immediately signaled to the bannerman behind him, and then the Chinese army bannerman blew the horn for departure, and at the same time raised the flag representing a certain department high, and made a tilting move forward.

   Immediately, the one in front sounded the corresponding horn, and then waved its own flag, leading the troops to set off first...

  The first part, the second part, the Chinese army, the rear division.

   When practicing in peacetime, it is exactly the same and methodical.

   Li Dian was on horseback, and heard the arguments and analysis of the two newly promoted military commanders behind him.

  『Passing through here, there is Yimapingchuan. There are no big mountains and rivers in front of it. If you have to go to Huangya Ridge, there will be some places to pay attention to...』

  『However, we still need to send scouts, so we can send more newcomers...』

  『Yes, arrange more newcomers, as if there is an ambush, practice more. Speaking of ambushes, I think we should be very careful starting from Huangya Ridge, the hiding place of the Ding Ling people is probably near there...』

  『Dingling people...I guess there are no defensive measures...I don’t know if there is a camp or something? 』

  『Although I haven’t seen it now, the newspaper said that they are basically tents...oh, and shacks...』

  『…』

  None of them had the slightest doubt about defeating the Dingling people.

   This is the case for Li Dian, the same for Jun Sima, and the same for ordinary cavalry.

  The mighty military spirit of the Han people left behind by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seems to have been picked up again, and then handed over from the hands of the old to the hands of the new ones in waves.

   Li Dian even felt that he could become a relatively qualified general and use him in other places just by relying on the military commander Sima he taught! At least being a school lieutenant is no problem!

  Thinking about it, Li Dian couldn't help but glanced to the east, there was a slight change in his expression, and then he returned to normal in an instant.

   While walking, suddenly a scout came back from the front left, which immediately caught the attention of Li Dian and others.

  『I’m afraid I’ve met Ding Lingshaotan...』 Said Jun Sima behind Li Dian.

   Sure enough, the scouts came to report that they met Ding Lingren's sentinels about fifteen miles ahead.

  『Northeast direction? 』

   Li Dian frowned slightly, and immediately ordered, "Get the map!" 』

Li Dian looked at the map and thought about it for a while, but he didn't immediately issue any order or express his thoughts. Instead, he called the two new army Sima to him and gave the map to them, "Look at it too, and then If you have any ideas, please tell me…”

  On the map, the north direction is Huangya Ridge, while the northeast direction is an area of ​​hills and ravines.

  『Is it possible that Ding Lingren is not in Huangya Ridge, but here? 』

  『It’s not impossible...if it’s here...something seems wrong...』

   The two military commanders spoke, and then couldn't help but glance at Li Dian.

  Li Dian closed his eyes and rested his mind, without revealing any information on his face.

  The two army Sima can only continue to bow their heads and discuss.

  『Well, let’s take a look, let’s compare Huangya Ridge and Gully Land first...』

"it is good…"

  The two army Sima gathered together and muttered.

  Actually, Li Dian still had the answer in his heart, and the reason why he didn't say it out was like the army commander wanting the new scouts to train more. It was Li Dian who was training the two army commanders.

  The inheritance of the Han people is not only cultural, but also military. Just like the Qinglong Temple is sorting out the inheritance related to classics, the military inheritance of the martial arts hall is being passed on to the generals from Hussars General Fei Qian, and then by people like Li Dian. Generals, passed down to the school lieutenants, captains, army Sima, and even lower-middle-level military academies...

   This is the strength of the Han family!

  Because the Han family has a complete inheritance...

  『General! 』

   A slightly excited voice came over, Li Dian opened his eyes, looked over, and said with a slight smile, "Find the key?" Tell me…"
