Chapter 73: Separation Night falls, but in the tribe named An, there are many young people hiding in the dark, standing guard. A small, dim oil lamp was lit in a tent in the middle of the tribe, in order not to attract attention. There were more than a dozen people sitting inside, including chiefs with the surnames An, Kang, Shi, and He, as well as two Turkic tribesmen, and several Tiele and Dangxiang tribesmen who had good relations with these surnames. ??In fact, until today, they are not very willing. If they had known that Wang Hua would accept Liuhu Prefecture and Fengsheng Prefecture, they would have resigned themselves to Mo Chuixu. When I agreed to sip silently, I never thought about Wang Hua at all. Since last year, he has been holding on to the Eight Prefectures, not even the more important military positions of Kuozhou and Linzhou, not to mention the poor Liuhu Prefecture. The reason why they helped Mochu and Zhou to do evil was because of their hard work and praise. The Tang government failed to protect it. Secondly, since several new cities were built, the imperial court strengthened its management and began to rule directly. It even merged Liuhu Prefecture into Kuangchang Prefecture and then merged it into Lanchi Dudufu. Of course, the reason for the change of system was largely to appease the It is related to the party members who migrated here. Control was strengthened and tax collection began to be increased. Like other Han people, they were subject to state taxation and labor. This was something the Hu people who originally enjoyed various preferential policies of the Tang Dynasty did not want to see. The third is that after the establishment of Liuhu Prefecture, the imperial court successively moved the Dangxiang people, Tuguhun people, and the Uighurs, Tongluo, Hun, and Pugu people with the nine surnames of Tiele, which intensified ethnic conflicts, and the imperial court treated these new tribes The special favor, coupled with the increase in the number of people and the decrease in pasture, made the ministries dissatisfied again. So after Mo Chui arrived in Liuhu Prefecture, he decisively took advantage of this to win over and divide many tribes. These tribes originally wanted to defect to the Turks, but now their attitude was more "amiable", so they immediately agreed. Later, when I saw Wang Hua's army coming, I felt very regretful. Everyone had seen with their own eyes what the eight states were like last year. Many people had made up their minds and wanted to defect to the Eight Prefectures, but Wang Hua refused all of them in order not to miss the point and just went there secretly. Most of them were sent back. But when the bow is drawn, there is no turning back arrow. It's too late to regret now. Wang Hua treats all kinds of people as his own subjects, but he is a bowl of water. The degree of preferential treatment does not depend on which race the tribe belongs to, but on their loyalty and contribution to the blood camp. ¡°But he helped Mochu do many bad things in Liuhu Prefecture. Can Wang Hua really let him go? Didn¡¯t you see that when the militia was called up at the front, the ethnic groups behind them protested about it one by one? After boarding this pirate ship, no one can get off. The dim oil lamp flickered from time to time, and everyone sat silently. There was a man sitting in the middle. He was also dressed as a commoner. He looked at everyone and said, "I'm going to show you something." Open it, and there are several longbows inside, real longbows from the Blood Camp. This was captured from ships. This time, the fifty ships carried the most weapons, which were all kinds of arrows. After all, they were mainly for defense. Then there are shields, then a small amount of Mo Dao Heng Dao, and a large amount of explosives. They didn't bring any long bows with them. Zhang Shougui and the others had left with many long bows. There were still some bows and arrows in the city, so there was no need for long bows. But in order to prevent the Turks from shooting arrows from both sides, Liang Sitai and others also set out with hundreds of longbows. Later, when he was trapped in the Yellow River, Liang Sitai's first thought was explosives. He threw the explosives into the river and then escaped. As a result, everyone jumped into the river together, or were shot to death on the boat. Most of the boats were burned by fire, and four or five boats floated to the shore. Because there were no soldiers on board, the Turks got hold of these river boats. I also got the above weapons, other weapons don't matter, Guan Jian is a dozen longbows that I didn't have time to take away or throw away, and fell into the hands of the Turks. Moju immediately realized its importance and gave it to Mochu as a treasure. I already knew its range, but unfortunately there has never been a real sample imitation. Just relying on the graphics, the longbow developed by the Turks themselves is always not the same thing. With these longbows, technical improvements can be made immediately. They also sent envoys with a few weapons and sneaked into Fengzhou, which gave these tribes confidence. Seeing the long bow, everyone had a little surprise on their faces. During this period, the Blood Camp distributed many weapons to their militiamen who "participated in the war", but there was only one thing that they never let go of, which was the longbow. That night, the Blood Camp fought with the Turks. Some people stood watching in the dark and saw the range of this long bow. How did it fall into Mo Chu's hands? The envoy said proudly: "This was captured from the Blood Camp." An Shoulu blinked and asked, "Excuse me, envoy, did the Great Khan defeat the Blood Camp?" "Tonight's battle, the Great Khan is here A plan has been set up on the Yellow River, youSomeone probably saw fifty warships heading east, carrying 3,000 Blood Camp troops on them. As a result, the Great Khan used ropes to block the Yellow River to death, and then set fire to support the crumbling Shengzhou 3,000 Blood Camp soldiers. All burned to death. Not only that, in Xiazhou and Sanjiang Funing, nearly 30,000 blood camp soldiers were killed. " " It's all nonsense anyway. They are trapped in Fengzhou and can't hear any news from the outside. This is also Moju's instruction. They must have this confidence and courage, otherwise they will be cowardly and dare not join the war. This is what the Great Khan arranged. Playing a clever chess game will have no effect. ¡°Really? " "That's not true. How did we get these longbows? If it weren't for the tight security of the Blood Camp, we might have sent hundreds of longbows to increase your combat effectiveness. However, I would like to ask you all, how many soldiers are there in the Blood Camp now? " Of course, if all the soldiers of the Blood Camp in Xiazhou Triangle City were sacrificed, the soldiers of the Blood Camp would be equivalent to losing one-third of the soldiers, and the consequences would be very bad. In fact, if so many soldiers were lost, Wang Hua had already retreated to Lingzhou for defense, and would still be struggling in Fengzhou. But no matter how deceptive the messenger was, these chiefs were short-sighted, and they knew the difference, and there was evidence of excitement in their eyes. The envoy continued: "The Great Khan came here and told me that if you make great contributions in this battle, our Turks will arrange your tribe near the Toa tent in the Salun River. If Wang Hua can be killed, he will be crowned king, and his descendants will enjoy official titles forever and be exempted from tribute and taxes. " This once again made the atmosphere in the tent lively. " Regarding Wang Hua, I thought about it one by one. I was not sure that I would kill him. If I could kill him, I would have killed him long ago in the palace. How could it be their turn? But now there are only three to four thousand soldiers in the Blood Camp, and no one in the militia takes them seriously. Can the militia team formed by their own tribe really be a match for the Blood Camp soldiers? But this time the Turks came to attack? The one from Fengzhou is Mo Ju, a famous brave general under Mo Chu, and he came in person with an army of five thousand. If these thousands of people under his command hold the weapons issued by Wang Hua and the weapons issued by Mo Chu, what will happen? If the inside and the outside are combined, there is no need to worry about taking Fengzhou. Which place is undoubtedly the area near the Tujue River? Because this is the core area of ??the Tujue, and the security is guaranteed on both sides of the Tujue River. You can live and work in peace and contentment. This is undoubtedly great news. Therefore, the most considerate tribes in this area are settled here, but after all, they are just a little better than ordinary people, and they have no perspective on the problem. In the long run, Kang Daibin would not have rebelled again. Will rebellion really work? As a result, countless heroes were killed by the Tang Dynasty, and then the nine surnames of Zhaowu declined in Liuhu Prefecture. This area became dominated by the Dangxiang people, and later the Tubo people began to outnumber the people with the nine surnames of Zhaowu. Everyone thought they had heard a lot of good news, and they were talking among themselves. At this time, in Fengzhou City. , Wang Hua deeply blamed himself. For the tragic encounter of Liang Sitai and other 1,500 soldiers, once the ship entered the scope of the rope net, they could not escape. In fact, in the final analysis, he underestimated his opponent, or he thought that he could not escape. Shui Shui was invincible and arrogant. In the afternoon, he was thinking about Mochu's arrangements, but he had no choice but to ask Kong Heizi to withdraw half of his troops to Lingzhou. But Wang Hua knew that. As the trump cards were revealed one by one, it was almost time for everyone to show up and start fighting. At the same time, he was also worried about Li Xuejun, when he suddenly heard the news about Liang Sitai and the others. Sitting in the room in pain, he didn't speak for a long time. At this time, people from outside came in to report that the Turks had begun to contact those tribes, and the Moju army began to head west to the city. Wang Hua thought for a moment. He immediately guessed that Mo Chu had played a cruel trick on himself, cheating more than a thousand of his troops, and then he couldn't hold it anymore. "Hey, that's not right," he whispered, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he finally guessed this time. What is Mochu's plan? Since Moju came here this time, he vowed to capture Fengzhou. Why capture Fengzhou? This is because Mochu wanted to go north, open up this bridgehead, and then cross the Yellow River. He could fight and retreat. He is not interested in fighting in the south. These two armies are deliberately trying to attract him to focus on Lingzhou and Yanzhou. "His hair stood on end when he thought of this. He was making a show for himself, but his own people didn't see it. Only An Jiewu and his colleagues saw it. Could it be that An Jiewu and the others were exposed? "nbsp; Thinking of this, he paused for a moment, and what he was most worried about happened. what to do? If you are a warrior, you can retreat immediately, but what about the people? If something goes wrong, not only these common people, but also many people with the Shi surname in Lingzhou, and many people with the nine surnames of Zhaowu, how can I explain to them? After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly remembered another problem. The war was about to begin. If it hadn't been for Puguqing's notice, he would never have thought that such an explosive was buried in the territory. If you don't know, you won't pay attention to the secret meeting of the Turkic envoys with the chiefs of these dozen tribes tonight. Then you don't know the purpose of silent sipping, which means that you are really confused by the illusion of silent sipping. In other words, Mochu almost succeeded. After success, An Jiewu¡¯s profession also lost their value. What happens next? Thinking of this, he immediately shouted: "Come here." He summoned some soldiers and dispatched two smart and capable soldiers who could swim and immediately rushed to Zhongshou surrender city, swam across, risked finding An Jiewu and others, and told the news Notice, what should I do? I don¡¯t know the specific situation in Fengzhou, so I asked An Jiewu to deal with it urgently. And let the bow of the ship that was left on the dock on the south bank of Fengzhou begin to move towards Zhongshou Jiangcheng, preparing to receive Jiang Jiewu and others on board the ship and withdraw. Even so, Wang Hua was still worried that it was a step too late. Then he immediately sent people to notify Kong Heizi, Li Kaigu, Wang Jun, Gongsun Yun, and Liu Tong. Except for Gongsun Yun and Zhu Dian who stayed to guard Yanzhou and Lingzhou, the other generals came out with all the soldiers they could bring out. , advancing by waterway, began to officially set off to Fengzhou. Of course, this arrangement is somewhat risky. If the silent war is unfavorable, it is possible to go south again, and really go south. However, counting the journey at that time, the 20,000 troops of the Southern Blood Camp had already rushed back to Lingzhou, so there was no need to worry. But one thing Wang Hua had to admit was that although Pugu Qing was a flirtatious woman, if it hadn't been for her appearance, there was no telling where the situation would have turned. It was even possible that in a few days, he would have been extremely vulnerable. Passive, as for the losses, they may also be extremely heavy. Because they brought a lot of siege equipment and were afraid of being harassed and ambushed by the Blood Camp, Moju's group moved very slowly. It wasn't until the afternoon that they arrived at Xishoujiang City. After arriving, he immediately attacked the city, but he didn't get a good deal. Blood Camp recently received a large number of weapons and recruited more than 9,000 militiamen. It's not about fighting. It's okay to hide behind the walls, shoot arrows, and throw big rocks. Wang Hua even took turns in order to immediately cultivate the combat effectiveness of the militiamen. The soldiers were as relaxed as taking a leisurely stroll throughout the afternoon. But something bad happened at this time. They originally sent out troops and trained separately, but now the militiamen of various ministries gathered together, and finally a conflict broke out. The Tiele Pugu and Tuoba tribes and the soldiers from the Kang and Shi tribes were fighting. At the same time, there was a conflict over words, and eventually a large-scale fight broke out. Wang Hua was furious and used regular troops to defend the city. He gathered these militiamen on the playground of the original Xishou surrender military camp and began to lecture. He said angrily: "What time is it now? You are still arguing among yourself. What if the enemy breaks the city? Do you want to be a prisoner of the Turks again?" After scolding him, he turned to Jiang Zhengdao and said : "Disarm all their weapons and armor." Many soldiers were unwilling, but at this time more than a thousand Blood Camp soldiers came out from the side, aiming their bows and arrows at them. Wang Hua said again: "I gave you the weapons. Are you still unwilling to take them back now? Don't you want to rebel?" But the conversation changed and became softer, saying: "Now I want you to reflect, and this is just The first batch of enemies. Without you, the Blood Camp will still defend the city for you. More enemies will come in the future. Now put down your weapons. I don¡¯t care whether you are Dangxiang people, Tiele people, or Shatuo people. Or they are Tubo people, people with the nine surnames of Zhaowu, or Han people. Think about it one by one, and write a guarantee letter to me. If you can't write it, please ask someone who can write it for you, and I will re-issue the weapons. "The last sentence made certain people, not just certain people, but a large number of militiamen stop worrying. It was just a letter of guarantee, and they put down their weapons one by one. However, in order to avoid conflicts, Wang Hua divided the militia into two groups. One group was close to the Turkic tribes. After so many days of investigation, Wang Hua knew clearly which tribes had defected to the Turks. One group is the master of suffering. It happened that there were two military camps on the east and west sides of the playground, one on each side, so I started writing a letter of guarantee. There were papers, pens, inkstones, and a few tables and chairs in the military camp, as if they were asked to write a letter of guarantee. But there were many people who couldn¡¯t write, so they asked someone to write for them. But once they were written, they would still be guarded by Blood Camp soldiers when they left. Some people were unhappy and asked: "WeIt¡¯s written, why don¡¯t you let us out. The soldier guarding the door of the barracks said with an indifferent expression: "Get out?" How easy was it to get out? Write well, reflect from your heart, write what you reflect on, and then the camp governor will let you go out and put on your armor and pick up your weapons and go into battle. You can stay here peacefully tonight. Dinner will be delivered to you later, and then beds will be delivered for you to rest. Let¡¯s talk tomorrow. Don't expect to get away with it. Our camp governor is not that easy to fool. " These soldiers were not happy, but when they saw that the barracks opposite were also quarreling, they all stopped talking. Everyone had a bowl of water, so they couldn't complain. Wang Hua made sense, at least from his perspective, If the internal fighting continues, the guards of Fengzhou will be leaked. Although these militiamen are unwilling and now have no weapons in their hands, they do not dare to bet against the bloody soldiers who are armed with powerful weapons, so they have been noisy for a while. It wasn't until dinner was delivered that no one said a word. Seeing this, Wang Hua let go of his worries. At this time, Jiang Zhengdao walked to the place where the suffering master was placed. The East Camp looked at everyone and suddenly whispered: "Everyone, just listen but don't talk. If anyone says a word, I will pull him out and kill him immediately. " After telling what happened, everyone's faces were filled with shock, and then a burst of ecstasy. After Jiang Zhengdao finished speaking, he added: "Everyone has always wanted revenge, and I will give you a chance to take revenge tonight. If you want, it's the same sentence, no talking, only nodding. " As soon as he finished speaking, almost everyone began to nod. But there were still many Blood Camp soldiers standing at the door of the two barracks, even the east barracks. All militiamen were guarding the two barracks, and they were not allowed to enter or exit. This is also Wang Hua was careful to prevent some fish from slipping through the net in the east camp. Once he was let out to report the news, his success would be in vain tonight. It was getting dark, and a wet man came out of Moju's tent. Moju looked at him and asked. He said: ¡°What do the tribes on the other side of the river say? " "They don't know the specific situation. Now the south gate of the surrender city is also blocked by the blood camp. However, they had already said that three thousand soldiers had joined the militia. Although Wang Hua blocked the news, someone in the city was making arrangements. If the time comes, it may be tonight, it may be tomorrow night, they are waiting for the opportunity to attack. At the same time, he also informed the general that as long as the general captured the surrendered city, only 500 soldiers would be stationed in Fengzhou in the south. Moreover, they still have seven or eight hundred soldiers left in their hands. As long as the general breaks the city in front, he will assist the general in the rear to seize the stone bridge from the south. " Mo Ju smiled and said nothing. He thought in his heart that the situation has changed. First, the Great Khan suffered a loss in Fengzhou and Xiazhou, and now it is Wang Hua's turn to suffer a loss in Fengzhou on the Yellow River. The night gradually became darker. It was deep, and suddenly countless sounds of fighting and screams came from Fengzhou City. Although they were separated by the moat and the city wall, they were still faintly heard by the wind. He climbed out of bed. He stood up and said: "Everyone gather immediately and prepare to take Fengzhou" []
