Chapter 1430

Recruiting troops, breaking the city easily

The army is out.

King Qin just wanted to set off with the Chinese army when he received a message from the officials left behind.

"Your Highness, many people want to join the army!"

The king of Qin gave Nan Wednesday, which is regarded as courtesy first and soldiers later.

Then start creating public opinion.

Then he comforted him, saying that Gu was going to destroy Nan Zhou.

All right!

The people cheered.

Feel threatened away.

But then many people came up with the idea of ​​joining the army.

When Shi Zhongtang was there, he deliberately excluded the soldiers from the Tang Dynasty in the army, so that the people from southern Xinjiang had nowhere to serve.

At this moment, King Qin swept away Shi Ni, and those young people were moved again.

"After the Southern Zhou Dynasty was wiped out, Gu Ding will definitely take the army back. It's a little troublesome to use northerners to defend the southern border. Take it!"

If some troops are left to guard the southern border, will the families of these soldiers move here?

There was too much movement.

Just thinking about it, that cost can give King Qin a headache.

If you don't relocate your family members, it's not fair for those soldiers to be away from their families while serving the country.

In Li Mi's era, the government ignored this kind of injustice, so it was only the middle-aged who went to the frontiers and returned to their hometowns when they were old.

Think about it, before the departure, the parents, wife and children are still there, and when they return, the parents are gone, the wife has either passed away or is very old, and the children look at him as if they were looking at a stranger.

And that's just one situation, more...

In this era of constant transportation, northerners go to the south to defend, and once they leave, it is very likely that they will spend their lives.

"Aye, when will the Southern Expedition start?" A Liang asked expectantly, having never seen the horrors of war.

"I guess it's already started." His Royal Highness King Qin immediately turned his thoughts to how to use this battle to teach the future prince.

……

On the opposite side of the boundary river, Wang Lin led more than [-] people under his command to line up.

On the other side, the forwards of the Northern Xinjiang Army could not see the side at a glance.

"Pei Zhonglang, rush over!" The old thief followed Pei Jian this time, pointing to the opposite side and said, "It only takes one surprise attack to destroy them."

No need for an army, just three thousand horses, the old thief can easily defeat his opponent.

"Your Highness said that the Southern Zhou Dynasty has the same language and the same race." Pei Jian said in a deep voice, "Surrender first!"

It's still a courtesy first and then a soldier!
The old thief was a little disappointed.

A civil servant rode his horse to the river and shouted to the opposite side: "Hey! Someone!"

"Go down!" A general asked.

"No need, old man go!"

Wang Lin shook his head and smiled slightly.

He rode his horse over, "What's the matter?"

There was no expected questioning, and the civil servant was a little curious, "Why don't you ask?"

"Is it possible to dissuade King Qin's army from stopping?" Wang Lin asked.

The civil official shook his head, "It seems that you are a smart man. Smart people should do smart things. The army is there." He pointed to the forward army behind him.

"Your two thousand subordinates, to be honest, the army doesn't need to fight, they just need to rush over, and they can be overwhelmed with horseshoes."

"That's right!"

Wang Lin readily agreed with this view.

"Then, what are you waiting for?" The civil servant said with a smile: "Surrender! Your Highness said that the Tang Dynasty and the Southern Zhou Dynasty have the same language and the same race. We are all the same ancestors, and we must unite after a long time! As long as you surrender, you will still be a family!"

"This old man wants to surrender!" Wang Lin said, "But it's my responsibility, sorry!"

"Have you figured it out?"

"Think clearly."

The civil servant sighed, "Well then, let's go!"

"must!"

Wang Lin rode back.

draw the knife.

"Follow the old man, die for the country!"

On the opposite side, the civil servant told Pei Jian the result.

"It's interesting." An officer accompanying the army said, "Fang Chong's shamelessness makes it hard for me to have a good impression of the civil officials of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. However, the warriors are surprisingly surprising."

"During the Northern Expedition, the momentum was overwhelming. After the army approached Bianjing, the Southern Zhou Army suddenly became fierce." The old thief had experienced that battle, "Your Highness said, don't underestimate your opponent!"

This is also the reason why King Qin ordered Pei Jian to be the forward.

I hope that while it can be as strong as a bamboo, it must be steady!So, looking at his subordinates, only Pei Jian can do such a hand-in-hand job.

"In that case..."

Pei Jian pointed forward, "As he wishes!"

Wang Lin turned a blind eye to the forward cavalry crossing the river upstream.

He can't stop it either!
"Array!"

Wang Lin led his men to turn and face the cavalry of Northern Xinjiang.

Back then, the King of Qin once led athletes from northern Xinjiang to participate in the Southern Expedition and became famous in the first battle.

Years later, the two armies fought again.

"kill!"

The cavalry started.

"Archer!"

Wang Lin's voice was still calm.

But that's all.

A quarter of an hour later, his corpse was trampled into a pulp by horseshoes.

Of the more than two thousand southern peripheral troops, more than half were killed in battle, and the rest surrendered.

"Hurry up and attack Huocheng!"

Huocheng was the first city in the Southern Zhou Dynasty to face the Tang Dynasty directly.

The guards had already received the notice from the mission, and they stood in a daze at the moment.

"Where are the reinforcements?"

he asked.

No one answered him.

In the distance, smoke and dust can be seen.

The sound of horseshoes can be faintly heard.

That was the arrival of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Wei Qun turned around and looked at his livid-faced subordinates, and said, "Prime Minister Fang ran so fast, he looked like a rabbit. I wanted to die with a prime minister, but it's a pity."

Everyone laughed miserably.

But this is Wei Qun's true inner thoughts.

The vanguard of the Northern Xinjiang Army has arrived.

"As usual!"

Pei Jian made people shout to surrender.

"Hey!"

The civil servants went out again.

At the beginning, the choice of loud voice was originally selected in the army, but who knew that the civil servant who was on the sidelines looked at it for a while and said, "Why do you scream like a mosquito?"

Some people say that he doesn't hurt his back when he stands and talks, so why don't you give it a try.

Then try it.

As soon as the civil servant opened his mouth...

What the hell!

Surprised everyone!

As a result, the person who shouted became him.

And this is also in line with King Qin's instructions: be gentle with Southern Zhou.

Look, we even use civil servants to recruit and surrender.

"Nian Xu sent envoys to humiliate His Highness, you wait... just say it vulgarly, mother! His Highness was planning to go back, but Nian Xu couldn't stand to die! If His Highness ignores him, who will think highly of him in the future? Who will?" Can you think highly of Datang? Therefore, this battle must be fought! Do you understand?"

I understand.

"Returning, we are still a family. Don't believe me, in the eyes of His Highness, Nan Zhou is not a threat at all. So, don't worry about being jealous after surrendering. Your Highness said, it is a talent, use it alone! But there is one..."

The civil official shouted at the top of his voice: "Those dog civil servants of Te Niang, Your Highness needs to screen out those bastards who are against the New Deal, and rush to farm!"

These words caused an uproar in the city.

"King Qin also agrees with the New Deal?"

"It's the same as us."

Another goal of the New Deal is to strengthen the army. As soon as Sun Shi changed the harshness of the civilian officials to the warriors, he gave some good looks, which immediately caused a wave of enthusiasm in the army.

"It seems hopeful!" Someone said.

"It's hard to say." The old thief said: "Don't look at these people in full swing, but the generals in the Southern Zhou army are not good birds."

The ranks of the army in the Southern Zhou Dynasty were strict. If anyone dared to leapfrog the rank and report on the Shangguan, regardless of whether the Shangguan was guilty or not, he would beat your son to death first, and then he should be exiled.

Pei Jian knew about this, "This is something made by the Nian clan. At the beginning, the founding emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty knew that his country was not upright, and worried that he would be opposed by civil and military officials, so he made an oath. Class law, strict hierarchy.

As a general in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, although he would be humiliated by literati and civil officials, he could turn his head around and do whatever he wanted in the army.In this way, the generals are naturally loyal to the emperor. "

"There has been no civil strife among civil and military officials in the Southern Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years. It is indeed rare. However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. For hundreds of years, the authority of the Southern Zhou emperor has become lower and lower."

The old thief said: "How about... attacking the city?"

At the head of the city, Wei Qun said forcefully: "Thank you very much, but it is the responsibility of guarding the land, and I will live and die with Huo Cheng."

The civil servant sighed, "What did you say, good words can't persuade people who want to die."

He rode back to report.

The old thief burst out laughing.

"Thank you very much, the old man dares to say that this person wants to surrender, this is a half-concealment!"

"Ajar the door!" someone said.

"Fuck! Comrade!" The old thief turned his head and saw that the person who said this was a civil servant, so he cupped his hands, "Let's discuss together later?"

"Good talk!"

Pei Jian looked at Huo Cheng and said, "If you want to break the city, it will take two or three days. Ask again."

The civil servant went again.

"Did it drop?"

Wei Qun shook his head, "Although King Qin is mighty, I want to see him."

The civil official's heart moved, and he came back and said, "Look, this man is ashamed, and he wants to save face."

"Yes, what he said is a hint that he wants to surrender to His Highness." The old thief scolded: "Isn't this full of food? This old man bets that he must have read the book earlier, and he smells sour .”

Everyone looked at Pei Jian, waiting for him to make a decision.

"The army can't stay here, and if this trend is allowed to spread, the defenders below will have to come forward to surrender, so what will happen to Your Highness?"

Yes!

Wouldn't that have become an ambassador to persuade to surrender?

"Siege!"

Pei Jian gave an order, but before the siege, siege equipment had to be built.

The craftsmen were lazy, and no one came to urge them.

"Look, I'm really waiting for King Qin!"

The defenders at the top of the city were in mixed emotions. On the one hand, they felt shameful to surrender, and on the other hand, they felt that there was a high probability of survival, so they were very happy.

This is the frontier army. Fang Chong took care of them when he led the army to the north last time, but he returned home in a big defeat.Go home!The old thing entered Huocheng halfway, looking for an excuse at will, making people whip Wei Qun and others.

To be honest, if it is about who in the Southern Zhou army hates civil servants the most, Huocheng defenders say they are second, and no one dares to admit that they are number one.

This is also the reason why the defenders were silent when the guards tactfully expressed their willingness to surrender.

Otherwise, Wang Linneng led the army to die for the country. Could it be that Huocheng's defenders are all eggless men?

It was night, and the Northern Xinjiang Army suddenly launched a surprise attack.

The old thief and others went to the city first, opening a breakthrough.

The civil servant with a loud voice ventured to follow the city, shouting: "Kneel down, kneel down and don't kill. If you don't beat the whole family, kneel down quickly!"

The head of the city immediately knelt down.

As soon as the guards rushed out of the official residence, the city gate was opened, and the cavalry rushed in.

Wei Qun smiled wryly, looked around, "I seem to be stupid!"

The sound of hooves approached gradually.

Wei Qun took off his long knife, threw it on the ground, and shouted: "Surrender! Surrender!"

The battle of Huocheng was unbelievably easy.

Of course, Pei Jian's non-smoking means are good, even the old thief said that he is a little better than himself.

When King Qin received the news, he was full of praise.

Immediately, he became interested in Wei Qun, and when the army arrived in Huocheng, someone brought him here.

"Why do you have to see an orphan before you are willing to surrender?"

In the lobby, King Qin was sitting in front, and A Liang was kneeling beside him.

"Meet Your Highness!"

When Wei Qun saluted, he looked quite calm, so King Qin couldn't help but secretly praised: There is no shortage of talents in the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

"Sinners have guarded Huocheng for many years. Prime Minister Fang failed in his northern expedition. He passed by Huocheng on his return journey. He beat the sinners for no reason to vent his anger. The sinners dare not refute..."

Wei Qun raised his head and said calmly: "Your Highness doesn't know something. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, literati are heaven to my generation of warriors. A county lieutenant dares to order a lieutenant general to salute, a prefect dares to make an army commander bow his head... ...just because in the Great Zhou, warriors are sluts."

Such a stupid policy!

Seeing that A Liang was stunned, King Qin smiled and said, "I'll tell you more about it later as a father."

He nodded to Wei Qun, "Continue."

He needs to know the mind of the Southern Zhou warriors to prepare for the next attack.

"Yes." Wei Qun bowed his head, "As for Fang Xiang, he is like a god in the eyes of sinners, so that sinners will not feel any resentment."

It's like how an ordinary person thinks of the emperor like this.

In awe.

"This time when Fang Xiang went to southern Xinjiang, he didn't stay in Huocheng. When he returned, he stayed overnight in Huocheng. The sinner went to serve and saw Fang Xiang drinking. When he was a little drunk, Fang Xiang said, early Knowing that King Qin is so great, I shouldn't have come."

Wei Qun raised his head and looked at King Qin boldly.

"I just want to see with my own eyes what is going on with His Highness King Qin, who can make Fang Xiang sink down and admit defeat."

King Qin said indifferently: "Then you saw it today."

Wei Qun knelt down to salute.

"His Royal Highness is a dragon and a phoenix, and his majesty is self-existing. Sinner, bow down!"
