Chapter 430 428 The War Situation Is Tense
This barbarian master has a deep scar from the corner of his eyebrow to the root of his ear. Half of his ear has been cut off. With that hooked nose, he looks very fierce.
"Dad, the slaves in my second uncle's house are more than ours, and most of them are stronger. The quality of these is not good."
The young man following behind him looked at these serfs with a bit of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"After Dad finishes the war, I will definitely get another batch of slaves."
The owner of the scar manor said indifferently: "There are not many other things in this Han land, but there are many two-legged sheep.
They can be sold in the market, and they are very cheap."
"My mother took me to see it yesterday. I fell in love with a woman with big breasts, but my mother didn't buy it for me."
The boy said.
"It's okay to play with women in the Han land, but don't leave offspring. We Darus are the most brave people in the world! You still have to find Darus women to get married, so as not to pollute your bloodline!"
The owner of the scar manor said with a serious face.
"Dad, I know."
The boy bowed his head and responded.
"I will follow the Third Prince to fight, so the farm will be handed over to you and your mother."
The owner of Scar Farm said: "These slaves can farm. In two months, it will be the season for sowing grain. We will have to rely on these slaves to farm.
You must be careful and keep these slaves alive. Don't let them starve to death. When it's time to farm, you have to give them some feed, otherwise many of them will die of exhaustion when farming.
Recently, the price of slaves in Suiyuan City has risen a lot, especially healthy and strong male slaves, which has almost doubled.
Perhaps after this war in the south, the price of slaves in the market will drop a little, but they still have to be bought after all."
"I know."
The boy remembered his father's words.
"Okay, the Third Prince is gathering all the cavalry, so I can't stay at home any longer. This time, we will move our family to the Han area and settle down here. After the war, we will no longer have to live the bitter cold and hunger we had in the northern border.
This is the wealth that my father earned by fighting hard on the front line. You must not learn from him and ruin the family!"
Speaking of this, the Scar Manor owner's voice became stern.
"Dad, don't worry. I will practice riding and boxing at home, and I will go to the battlefield with you in the future!"
The boy promised.
The Scar Manor owner smiled and stretched out his rough hand to touch the boy's head.
Then he pulled the reins, pinched the horse's belly, and rode away.
The serfs below looked at each other, wondering what the manor owner and his friends had gathered together and talked to the young manor owner in a babbling manner. They couldn't understand what they were saying.
Then he pinched the horse's belly and left.
The young man counted the heads and saw some people whispering to each other. He took out his whip and swung it out. The tip of the whip hit Master Lu's face, and a red whip mark instantly appeared on his square cheek.
The sudden pain made Master Lu scream "Ah".
The young man frowned and swung the whip several times in a row, hitting Master Lu's body and knocking him to the ground.
"Too noisy, like a pig!"
The young man whipped Master Lu all over his head and face, and Master Lu fainted from the pain, and he stopped.
Then he punished several slaves. The young man felt that the killing stick was enough, so he didn't bother to care about these slaves anymore and rode away on a red horse.
The remaining serfs dared to call Master Lu who was fainted by the whip.
The setting sun was like blood, and Scar Manor Owner Helian Yangnu was riding a warhorse and galloping quickly on the official road.
The warhorse was extremely fast, running on the road like a flash of lightning!
The warhorse under his crotch was his life, and in his heart, it was closer than his own son.
On the battlefield, it led him to charge and earn military merit.
When he failed, it led him to escape and saved his life several times.
"Yangnu!"
With a shout, Helian Yangnu knew who it was without looking.
He patted the horse's neck gently. The warhorse and he had already cooperated tacitly. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were in tune with each other. Knowing what he meant, it slowly stopped, snorted, and sprayed a few sparks from its nostrils. In the dim dusk, it flickered in the air for a few times.
"Tuge."
Helian Yangnu and Tuge gathered together.
As they got closer to the camp, more and more cavalry gathered together, and many people knew each other and exchanged the county where they settled.
As grassroots officers of the elite cavalry of the Daru Dynasty, these people were also the beneficiaries of the first wave of war dividends. They bid farewell to the bitter cold northern border and were allocated fertile land here, and got slaves to farm for them, so that their families could enjoy a good life without working and having enough food and drink.
With these assets, they will inevitably become staunch supporters of the court's policy of migrating south and defenders of the power of the Daru Emperor.
Although most of them were allocated to relatively remote counties such as Suiyuan County and Duohaijun, they were very satisfied when they talked to each other.
Because most ordinary Daru soldiers have not yet been allocated land, and they will have to wait until they conquer new territory before they can be allocated.
"Have you seen a talking little box?"
Tuge suddenly asked.
"Little box? What little box?"
"What little box can talk? Could it be a goblin?"
The Daru people are used to seeing monsters, and anything beyond common sense has formed path dependence, and they are prone to thinking about monsters.
"I don't know if it's a goblin. It was hidden by a slave on my farm. I caught them while they were listening today."
Tuge said, taking out a small black box from the satchel next to the war horse.
Learned to press the switch.
"You and I raise a toast together to celebrate, the sun is breaking at dawn..."
Immediately, a burst of festive singing came from the small box.
The Helian Yangnu next to him was startled by the sudden sound and exclaimed: "The monster is still a monster from Jingguo!"
"I'm going to dedicate it to the general."
Turge said.
Soon, everyone entered the military camp.
Tu Ge had a good relationship with Helian Yangnu and asked him to go to the military camp with him.
When they entered the general's tent with a radio and led by Meng An from the cavalry battalion, they heard a burst of singing of "咿咿咿 Yeah".
Helian Yangnu looked up and saw a "goblin" singing in Jingguo dialect inside the tent!
However, this goblin was larger and louder than the one in his hand.
"this······"
Tuge looked at the big goblin, then at the little goblin in his hand, feeling a little at a loss for what to do.
The general is a young man in his twenties, a native of Lurte and a member of the royal family of the Daru Dynasty, named Tuoba Hu.
"Everyone, get up."
Tuoba Hu said to Meng An.
He looked at the radio in Tuge's hand and said: "This is not a monster, but a machine of Jingguo.
To be precise, it is a machine from Wuzhou, Jingguo. "
Tuoba Hu stretched out his hand, and Meng An quickly took the tape recorder from Tuge's hand and presented it to the general.
He looked at the radio in his hand: "After leaving Jingzhou, the closer I got to Wuzhou, the sound I received became much clearer.
In the south of Jingguo, someone just used this machine to announce the founding of the country to the people who owned it. "
"If you ask me, it's just right to establish a country. Let Daru's cavalry trample it under their feet. Look at these people wailing in despair!"
"I heard that the southern part of Jingguo is weak but prosperous. The southern provinces are the great granaries of Jingguo. There is a saying that 'when the river valley is ripe, the world is full'. I can't wait to go to the south!"
"There are also women from the south of Jingguo. I heard that they can produce water if you pinch them. I don't know if this is true."
"I don't know if water will come out after pinching it, but...it will definitely come out!"
"Hahahahaha..."
A burst of laughter sounded, and the camp was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Helian Yangnu secretly looked at these loud-talking officers. The lowest was Meng'an, and there were several tens of thousands of households. This made him, a small corps leader, feel the pressure.
Listening to what these people said, they didn't take this newly established country seriously at all.
Even the sheep slaves of Helian didn't take this country seriously. After fighting all the way, Jingguo's weakness had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No one in the whole army took the weak Han people seriously.
The confidence they have comes from the people of Jingguo!
Tuoba Hu listened to the laughter of the sergeant in the tent and said cheerfully: "Before this winter, we drank horses in the River Valley Province!
The third prince ordered our army to be the vanguard. Early tomorrow morning, the army will march into Yuzhou. Tonight you wait for the cavalry scouts to rest early, and get up early tomorrow to enter Yuzhou to spy. "
Tuoba Hu said, looking towards the cavalry camp Meng'an.
"yes!"
Meng An said with a military salute.
"Get down!"
Tuoba Hu waved his hand.
When Meng'an took Helian Yangnu and Tuge back to the cavalry camp, there was a bonfire burning, mutton roasted on the bonfire, oil dripping in the bonfire, people singing and dancing around the bonfire, some wrestling in the open space, and some People were drinking and bragging, and the scene was lively!
"Sir, the general has sent dozens of sheep."
Someone came over with a wooden tray and presented the leg of lamb cut on the wooden tray to Meng An.
"Tonight, you will have wine, meat, and women. You can relax as much as you want. But before it is dark, you have to go back to the camp to rest. Before dawn tomorrow, if the bell does not arrive after a quarter of a minute, you will be demoted to the auxiliary army with twenty army sticks!"
Wu Changxing was jointly and severally responsible and received twenty military sticks! "
Meng An picked up the leg of lamb, stood up, and said loudly.
"yes!"
When the soldiers heard this, their hearts trembled and they replied loudly.
None of them dared to drink more.
Daru's army is very strict in military management. If twenty soldiers are hit with a stick, they will basically lose half their lives.
After he recovers his health and fights the war, he will not be able to gain military honors and will be despised by his family when he returns home.
Moreover, the army is divided into regular and deputy armies. One regular soldier is paired with one deputy. During wartime, the deputy army can be replaced as a regular army. However, when it is distributed after the war, the treatment received by the same military merit is very different.
Early the next morning, the bell rang, and thousands of cavalry rushed out, bypassed Dangcheng, and entered Dangshan County, Yuzhou Province.
Qifeng County, Wangfu.
"The Daru Army has entered Dangshan County in Yuzhou and captured Dangcheng in less than half a day."
"Yanzhou is in a tight situation. The Zhu thieves gathered their troops and voluntarily gave up half of Yanzhou. They are now defending along the Liusha River."
"Zhongzhou is retreating steadily, and the five counties of Changyun, Hengfeng, Guojun, Liyuan, Hengbin, and Shadong that the Beiwan Army Group just captured have completely collapsed!"
The large number of personnel spread out played the role of frontline sentinels, continuously gathering news from the front line towards Jinshan County in Chujiang Province and Qifeng County in Wuzhou Province.
The three-pronged troops, fighting on three fronts, marched straight in within a few days, as if they were entering an uninhabited country, and had the momentum to swallow up thousands of miles.
As the news continued to come in, Ren Pingsheng became a little unable to sit still.
The newly born Qi State currently has only 200,000 regular soldiers, and even counting the new soldiers who have been trained, there are only 250,000 new soldiers who can barely be used now.
At this time, the risk of a three-front battle must be avoided.
"Your Highness, Liu Guanjun's envoy wants to see you."
Ren Pingsheng was in the Yuanhe Hall, looking at the map hanging on the wall and thinking deeply. Huang Wenguang walked in to report, with a letter in his hand.
"Liu Guanjun? Are you here to ask for help?"
He turned around and asked with a frown.
"Yes, the Beiwan Group now only has four counties in northern Anhui, and its main sphere of influence has already moved to the border of Zhongzhou.
Now, five counties have been lost. As the Daru people's offensive becomes more and more fierce, the remaining five counties are also in danger. Once the five eastern counties are lost, the Beiwan regime will basically be declared destroyed. "
Huang Wenguang said, handing the letter in his hand to Ren Pingsheng.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qi personally declares——Liu Guanjun."
There was a line of small words written on the envelope.
"It's Liu Guanjun's personal letter."
Ren Pingsheng tore open the paint-sealed envelope and took out the letter paper inside.
With a quick glance, I had read the contents of the letter.
He handed the letter to Huang Wenguang and said to Wangshu: "Ask the envoy of King Wu to come to Yuanhe Hall."
"yes."
Wangshu, who was dressed in palace clothes, responded and left the hall.
Huang Wenguang quickly read the letter, raised his head and said, "Liu Guanjun wants to surrender to His Highness."
"But it requires our assistance."
Ren Pingsheng said: "What do you think?"
"Your Highness, I think it is necessary for us to provide assistance to Zhongzhou. Boming and Shadong counties both border Wuzhou Yuntai and Dongyang counties.
The two counties are also important industrial and economic centers in our country, so there is no room for loss. "
Huang Wenguang said.
Ren Pingsheng nodded: "The situation is so cold that we must not only help, but also come up with a plan quickly without delay. Otherwise, if Bo Ming and Sha Dong make mistakes, the flames of war will soon burn to us.
However, we are now gathering heavy troops in Chujiang Province, and the military strength in Wuzhou Province is limited. How to help is also a problem.
You go back and start the plan immediately, and work with the Ministry of National Defense Staff Office to work out a feasible action plan before evening based on the plan! "
"yes!"
Huang Wenguang took the order and left Yuanhe Hall in a hurry.
At this time, Xiaowan walked in, nodded with Huang Wenguang, and walked into the hall: "Master, the latest news from Yuzhou is that Dangshan County and Wujiang County have been lost."
"What?"
No matter how well-educated Ren was in his life, he still found it hard to believe: “The land of two counties was conquered in one day.
Let alone fighting, even if those Daru barbarians were running, they wouldn't be able to cover this far in one day! "(End of chapter)
