Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 512 Nonsense!

The moonlight is desolate and the stars are vast. On the night of early March, gusts of wind blew by, still bringing coolness.

On the bank of Laishui, taking advantage of the faint starlight, a troop of cavalry came galloping from afar.They are all one person and two horses, wearing iron armor, exuding a deep cold light under the light of the stars and the moon.

This team of cavalry numbered about 1000 people and galloped away.

The surrounding sight is unclear, but they can clearly see the very clear word 'Qi' on the big flag they are carrying!

This is a Liangshan cavalry, and their goal must be Laishui County as they head north along Laishui.

Lu Qian is now 'enclosing' the most land with the least amount of troops, because he needs food, a large amount of food.Guangxin Army, Ansu Army and Baozhou Army were all looted by the Liao Army. The grain and fodder materials were either transferred to Liao Dynasty, or they were burned down before the Liao Army abandoned the city, leaving only the three armies outside the city. More than [-] refugees.Coupled with the tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry troops of the Lutian Alliance, the daily food requirements are not a small amount.

As far as the military rations that Lu Qian brought with him when he went north from Zhending Mansion were only 2000 shi, based on the daily expense of each sergeant at [-] jin, this was enough to cover half a month's expenses for the whole army.This number is not small. With the capacity of a heavy-duty cart, one cart can carry ten shi of grain, and more than [-] shi is more than [-] grain carts, which require four to five thousand pack horses. Thousands of soldiers.The cost on this road is outrageous!

From Zhending to Guangxin Army, there are strange things in 350 miles.It's not uncommon for the grain cart to go all the way, less than ten days, and more than half a month.In the early conquest of Hebei, the transportation of materials and the transfer of food, fodder and soldiers relied on water flow, which was not so conspicuous.Now that the road is changed from water to land, Lu Qian does not have enough confidence to switch.

It costs too much.

Therefore, when the army came all the way from Dingzhou, Lu Qian ransacked all the grain depots in that prefecture and county, and only then did they get together ten thousand stones of grain and rice.

Right now, the food team for the second departure from the rear Zhending Mansion is still in Dingzhou, because the drivers need time to get ready. Therefore, despite Lu Qian's aggression now, he is actually strong on the outside but on the inside.

With no food in hand, and carrying three big messes of Baozhou, Ansu Army, and Guangxin Army, if they want to attack Youyan wantonly in the short term, they can't do it.

He didn't want to end up like Cao Bin back then.

Speaking of which, this is also known as the founding general of the early Song Dynasty, but he made a big mistake in the battle against Liao that year.In the spring of the third year of Yongxi, the Northern Song Dynasty attacked Liao in three directions [that is, the battle where Yang Ye died].Cao Bin, the main force on the East Road, was eager for merit. After the lone army entered Zhuozhou, it was forced to withdraw to Xiongzhou due to lack of food and grass.Soon, although food was collected again, the troops were exhausted and their combat effectiveness declined.The Liao army waited for work with leisure, and tried its best to deal with the Song army on the East Road.The Liao army first harassed the Song army with partisan divisions, cutting off its food supply, and then took advantage of its exhaustion to fight decisively.In April, the Song army was forced to retreat from Zhuozhou, and the Liao army took advantage of the situation to attack.In May, Liao Shengzong and Empress Dowager Xiao personally commanded the army to pursue the Song army to Qigou Pass.In the decisive battle between the two armies, the Song army was defeated and suffered heavy casualties.The remnants crossed the Juma River at night and were chased by the Liao army. Many people drowned.Cao Bin withdrew to the Shahe River to the east of Yizhou to camp. Hearing that the Liao soldiers were chasing them, the soldiers were frightened and fought to cross the Shahe River. More than half of them drowned.If so, the Song army on the East Road was defeated across the board.

Food is so important!

Now that Lu Qian's army is besieging Rongcheng, one is to rescue the Han men and women who were sent into it;At this moment, food is more precious to Lu Qian than gold and silver.

Hebei has experienced the chaos of last year, and even if it is under the control of the Liangshan Army this year, it is doomed that the summer grain will be greatly reduced.To completely control the two roads in Hebei, Lu Qian still doesn't know how much food he needs to fill in.Now Guangxin, Ansu and Baozhou have such incidents.It can only be said that the leak in the house happens to rain all night!

"Report!" After galloping for ten miles, a person came galloping in front of him. Just looking at the armor and armor, he knew it was the scout horse sent by this team of cavalry.

Seeing the horse coming, Yao Zheng, who was the former general of the military governor's mansion, reined in the reins, and the horse turned to the side of the road. After a while, it let out a roar and stopped.

The cavalry behind also slowed down, but they were still galloping.

At this time, Tanma came to the front, got off his horse, and knelt down: "General, Laishui County is not on guard yet." A battalion of iron cavalry calmly went straight to Laishui County outside the city, and the time difference between them was too far.

"God helped me. The source is a small county with less than [-] soldiers. There are not many Khitan aliens in it. We will take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and kill them in one fell swoop. To steal the source is a meritorious service."

After a series of battles, Yao Zheng was no longer the country boy he used to be. He was brave and courageous, his gestures were full of momentum, and his words revealed a cold chill.

The officers behind Yao Zheng were shocked when they heard this, and they tightened their grip on the reins.

Well said!

It is a great achievement to capture Laishui County.This is a county town, no matter what, you can find a batch of food, right? "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has a saying, if you eat the enemy for one minute, you will be my enemy for twenty minutes.A wise saying.

At this time, whoever can contribute food and fodder to the army will be a hero.

And in the current Liangshan Army, who is not jealous of meritorious deeds?On the eve of the army's conquest of Hebei, Lu Qian officially conferred the first batch of titles. Although there were only two people, this was a great encouragement to everyone.

Since the Five Husbands, titles have become more and more proliferated, such as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were many princes, countless princes, and princes.After entering the Northern Song Dynasty, the titles were further virtualized, such as Wang Anshi, Han Qi, Sima Guang, etc., were they named a state public and a bird?It cannot be hereditary, and it is not a long-term meal ticket.

But this is obviously not the case under Lu Qian's rule.The enfeoffment system has long been a thing of the past in Chinese history, but now Lu Qian is bringing up the old thing again, but it has not yet been implemented, and it has not yet been finalized.Because Lu Qi's current territory is Han soil.However, the enfeoffed land that Lu Qian talked about was marked as the land of barbarians.But don't care if it's really sealed, it's only a hereditary successor who has privileges and meritorious deeds, so I don't know how many people will be heartbroken.

Today, the first person in the Manchu Dynasty to be granted the title is Huoyan Suanni Deng Fei, who was named the founding uncle of Xiangyang.Because this person has no descendants, this is just lip service.However, Lu Qian set up the Zhongyong Shrine in Mount Tai, with paintings and sculptures, to worship Zhong Lie.Deng Fei was the first person to take over.

The second person is none other than Wang Lunnasi, the No. 1 village lord of Liangshanbo, who was granted the title of Uncle of Jizhou.He didn't enter the Zhongyong Temple, but King Lu also generously built a shrine for him on Liangshan Po.Even though such a title made Chao Gai, Song Jiang and others dissatisfied, the title of Jeju was first taken by Wang Lun, which is not beautiful.

Although these two uncles are false, this also makes the morale of the generals of the Liangshan Army boil and their fighting spirit is high.

Because the Earl bestowed meritorious land on a hundred thousand acres, that is, ten thousand mu.This is the most fertile land and cannot be bought or sold. As long as the Lu family is still alive, this land will belong to your family from generation to generation.It can be said to be a long-term meal ticket.

Therefore, for the current civil and military officials of Lu Qi, the importance of meritorious service has been raised several levels!
Yao Zheng led his troops to Laishui County. It seemed that he was sent away from the main battlefield, but in fact he was standing alone.Not only is he responsible for collecting military rations, but he is also secretly monitoring Yizhou.The latter is in the west of Laishui, and Laishui County is blocked in the middle of Yizhou and Zhuozhou, and the troops here are empty.The original defenders have been transferred to the south.

Sooner or later, Lu Qian will send troops to attack Yizhou, and Yao Zheng of Laishui will be the vanguard at that time.

Lu Qian restored the ancient system, starting with the national scholar, and then the five titles of male, son, uncle, marquis, and public are all hereditary and have real titles.

The establishment of this system and the canonization of the two uncles gave a shot in the arm to both civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.Because, this is conferring a wife and son, this is hereditary, this is a name left in history, who in the world doesn't want it?

Even for middle and low-level officers in the army, or even sergeants, it is difficult for them to attain the five titles of male, son, uncle, marquis, and public, but what about "national soldiers"?

In Lu Qian's eyes, this rank is equivalent to Western jazz, and it cannot be hereditary. It is a symbol of social status, a honorary title, and can be awarded to many people.Such as scholars, such as military warriors, and even some prominent businessmen, and so on.

It is used as a supplement between the nobles and the common people, and it can also be said to be a buffer.Compared with the noble titles that are mostly concentrated in the capital, this kind of "national scholar" will be very common, and will appear in prefectures, counties and provincial capitals all over the country.

Especially when Lu Qian's grand plan and great cause are achieved, a large number of founding heroes will be entrusted outside, and the status of this "national scholar" will usher in another leap.After all, China has entered a relatively peaceful era, without years of continuous wars, it would be difficult for someone to be knighted, isn't it?Especially the hereditary nobility.

Anyway, Yao Zheng and the officers behind him were all excited when they saw the meritorious service.However, the Liao army and officials of all sizes in Laishui County are still unaware of it at this moment.

The nightmare really struck when they were sleeping soundly.

The scout quietly touched the top of the city, lowered the drawbridge, and opened the city gate.The camp of the Laishui garrison was seized before they could react, and each soldier had no fighting spirit to resist amidst the shouts of "surrender but not kill".When the county magistrate of Laishui was dragged out of the county government by Yao Zheng, he was dizzy and thought he was dreaming.Why did soldiers from the southern kingdom enter Laishui all of a sudden?Isn't this absurd?

"It turns out that such bears are not only found in the Central Plains." Yao Zheng couldn't help laughing.

And look at the city of Nanjing in the Great Liao Kingdom at this time.

Yeluchun slept soundly, and the army marched south with successive victories. In just a few days, Wu Yanguang's dog head captured Guangxin, Ansu and Baozhou, and brought back a large amount of food, fodder and money to Liao. It can be said to have made great achievements.

Although this person is Emperor Tianzuo's confidant general, even though he is of Jurchen blood, it cannot be denied that this person is capable.

If they can go to Dingzhou, or even enter Zhending, and plunder fiercely, then I don't know how much the Khitan's finances will be relaxed.Thinking of this, the Khitan nobles in Nanjing City don't know what a pity that the changes in Xiongzhou and other places were so easily wiped out by the Liangshan bandits in Cangzhou, otherwise they would have caught more!
Thinking of this, Yeluchun, who is fifty-five percent, was suddenly shocked, thinking that his waist was not sore and his legs were not hurting.Even the concubines in the mansion seem to be much smarter than before.

On this day, Yeluchun entered the palace again to participate in Emperor Tianzuo's happy party, and returned to the mansion very late.

Even Yeluchun was so happy when Wu Yanguang delivered the good news, let alone Emperor Tianzuo.Not only did he gain strength, but he also consciously improved his face, sweeping away a lot of past depression.If so, they held a grand banquet in the palace for days, making the low-level people in Nanjing city confused by Monk Zhanger.Is this Jurchen defeated?
Smelling of alcohol, Yeluchun was completely drunk.When there was an urgent news, the attendant kept yelling that he couldn't afford it.

"Wash him awake!" Yeluchun's stepwife Xiao Puxian called.This is a heroine of the female middle school, who is just in her twenties this year, and she is born gorgeous and colorful.Had it not been for the difference in seniority, Emperor Tianzuo would have welcomed her into the palace long ago.Even now, Emperor Tianzuo still misses this pretty little aunt.

Miss Xiao Puxian is not afraid of Yeluchun, she looked at her husband who was so angry after being woken up by the cold water, smiled coldly, and waved his hands to tell the idlers to leave, and then Yeluchun saw the stranger following behind Miss Xiao Puxian .

"The villain Vandaha has seen the king."

This one was the servant of Yelu Derang, the magistrate of Rongcheng County. After hearing the news of Wu Yanguang's defeat in the south, he asked him to lead people, three horses, and go straight to Nanjing City to report the news.

As far as the strength of Rongcheng is concerned, it is difficult to cause more trouble for the Han army.Yeluchun had better prepared for this disaster.

"nonsense!"

Yeluchun didn't wait for Wen Daha to finish speaking, he waved his hands and shouted angrily.A few days ago, the news of Wu Yanguang's capture of Baozhou was only spread to Nanjing. How could he be defeated and fled by the Han people, and the tens of thousands of Han soldiers were wiped out?Isn't this absurd?

Miss Xiao Puxian snorted coldly with disdain: "Did your Majesty think that Yelu Derang dared to lie about the military situation?" The Liangshan Army told them to kill anyone who dared to burn the food in the city.This Rongcheng cannot be kept, and most of the food will be taken away by the Liangshan Army.And if Lu Qian can get the remaining food in the city, he will have no worries for the time being.
