sweeping the world

Chapter 42 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

Troops have been dispatched, and the Han has dispatched troops again!

In fact, almost all capable families in Guizhou County are paying attention to Liu Yan's activities.This is also a matter of common sense, after all, Liu Yan made too much noise, and it was difficult not to attract attention.

"The troops are dispatched?" Xu Ming said with a constipated face, "Why did you dispatch the troops?"

However, Xu Zhen's expression changed drastically: "Uncle, have we not delivered all the materials we need to support the Lihuo Tribe?"

Xu Ming was surprised: "Isn't it going to be shipped this morning?"

Xu Zhen's cheeks were stiff in an instant: "Chasing! Hurry up and get the supplies back! Don't let Liu Yan know that we supported Li Huo Liao!"

Xu Ming still hadn't realized it. Some of their families had communicated with each other, and they all secretly supported the Lihuo Tribe.However, in fact, this doesn't mean much. It's only been a few years since they entered the Central Plains. There must be a connection between them being able to live in peace in one place.What's more, these families all hope that the Lihuo Tribe can conflict with Liu Yan, so as to see if they can gain anything from it.

Needless to say, Xu Zhen just said a few words to Xu Ming with a pale face, and Xu Ming immediately hurriedly told Xu Zhen to chase after the transport team.

Knowing that Liu Yan sent troops, there was a dark tide in Guixian County. Most of the families really didn't expect Liu Yan to be so tough, and they didn't follow the routine at all!
What routine?That is, Liu Yan should send someone to Lihuo to intimidate them, and let the Lihuo tribe choose whether to submit or fight stubbornly.

The Xiqian family was also surprised when they learned that the Han tribe sent troops, mainly because no one came to inform them how much tax they should pay, and then how many good people should the family send to serve as soldiers or laborers.

Not only the Xiqian family, but also those families in Guixian County who expressed their obedience to the Han, none of the families received instructions, and they could only look at the results with various moods.

Liu Yan's dispatch of troops made too many people confused, because most families felt that the Han tribe needed a process to send troops, and the Lihuo tribe also thought so, so they would prepare for the war while waiting for the Han tribe to come and make conditions , In fact, it has been planned for a long time that the conditions are right and it will be dropped directly.

"What!?" Li Huoliao, the leader of the Lihuo Tribe, jumped up like an electric shock when he heard the news: "The Han tribe sent troops!? How much?"

The person who came to report said: "One thousand and four hundred! Four hundred tribal armed forces and one thousand slave soldiers."

"Four, four hundred... Tribal armed forces???" Li Huoliao's face was very strange, it changed from green to white, and he murmured in a daze: "As for it? As for it!"

I really want to be scared to pee!Who in Guixian County doesn't know how Liu Yan attacked Buqicheng.The inability of the Han to defeat the city means sending 3000 troops ([-] in the front and [-] in the back). Kill all chickens and dogs in the city.

"Hurry up!" Li Huoliao yelled after realizing it: "Gather the old and young, let them prepare their horses! The rest of the people gather and follow me to find... Surrender..." He got stuck and asked: "Who is the chief general of the Han tribe?"

"No, I don't know wow..." The little soldier who reported the letter was frightened by his patriarch: "The villain immediately went to investigate."

The Lihuo tribe is a miscellaneous Hu family that has developed in recent years. Since Lihuoliao dared to sneak attack when Liu Yan led troops to attack Buqicheng, and was the only one who really dared to do it, it is not difficult to see that his brain must not be very clever. , at least because of lack of consideration in doing things.

Lu Tai didn't know that their enemies wanted to surrender before the war started.He is now riding astride a war horse with a serious expression on his face.

400 people, except for a very small number of scout cavalry, the rest are all infantry.

The four hundred tribal armed forces, as usual, lined up neatly and stepped on the same pace. Looking at the extremely neat formation, as long as the eyes are not blind, you can see that they are definitely elite.

A total of one thousand Jin soldiers, they tried very hard to imitate the tribal armed forces and marched neatly, but no matter how hard they tried, it was difficult for them to imitate, but because they deliberately imitated, the queue would be chaotic from time to time.

"General." Ji Chang was also riding a horse. He pointed at the army with his whip: "When you are within three miles of the Huo Tribe's fortress, you need to stop and adjust your formation."

Lu Tai nodded and said, "What you said about joining the army is naturally reasonable."

"Your Majesty wants to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys." Ji Chang was deeply afraid that Lu Tai would not be able to understand, so he emphasized: "Therefore, no matter how the Lihuo tribe reacts when the general lord sees it, even if he kneels down and begs to surrender, please give the general lord the order to attack immediately!"

Lu Tai still nodded.Before setting off, Liu Yan didn't say much, but asked Lu Tai to listen to Ji Chang's advice more.So according to Lu Tai's understanding, Ji Changyou got the order from Liu Yan.

"I don't know how many eyes are watching. Our success or failure this time, and the degree of success, will determine the next living environment of the tribe." Ji Chang was also worried: "Will we be able to win easily..." Halfway through the sentence The corner of his eyes twitched, and he looked ahead: "They still choose to come out and surrender..."

Lu Tai also saw the situation ahead. It was close to 100 people approaching. In order to show a certain sincerity, many people led the horses forward. There seemed to be many full carriages driving behind the team?
The sudden appearance made many people puzzled, and almost all of them looked at Lu Tai.

"General." Ji Chang took a deep breath: "Let's attack."

Lu Tai also took a deep breath and shouted: "The front team, advance!"

Nearly [-] Jin soldiers heard the roar, and their performance was relatively slow, and their reactions were also mixed. It was only when the officers at all levels in the team repeated the military order that they were called to advance.

"Arrange the left and right wings!" In the age when everything depends on roaring, Lu Tai's voice needs to be loud enough: "Advance the two wings!"

Another series of military orders was repeated, and the 700 people on the two wings began to speed up, leaving only [-] tribal armed forces on the scene.

Yes, Li Huoliao brought people to surrender. With the utmost sincerity, he brought most of the young and strong members of the clan, loaded with some supplies... A lot of supplies were sent by some families recently, and now they are being used to reward the army .

"Calm down, pay attention to the opposite side, don't show any hostility." Li Huoliao shouted a few words from time to time, and then looked in the direction of Han Bu: "The ready flag is ready to be raised at any time."

What banner?It is a kind of apricot yellow flag.

It may be necessary to say a few words, until the Song Dynasty, the apricot-yellow flag was raised on behalf of surrender or non-hostility, not the white flag. Song Jiang in "Water Margin" set up the apricot-yellow banner of "Walking the Way for Heaven", expressing his desire to be recruited by the imperial court.It has been necessary until the collapse of the Song Dynasty and the fragmentation of civilization before the white flag becomes a symbol of surrender. (In order to take care of the audience, novels and film and television works will not be so particular.)
When Li Huoliao saw the Han troops advancing, his face changed greatly and he shouted: "Lift, lift, lift..." The flag here was raised, but the advancing Han troops did not stop or slow down. The speed seems to be louder, why is the speed of advancement also accelerating?He kept cursing in his heart, but he yelled without hesitation: "Run, run away, let the family members run away too!"

A reckless person does not mean stupid, but it is easy to do wrong things often.Sometimes things are wrong and there is a chance to change them, but many times they are wrong and you have to pay an unbearable price.

Li Huoliao quickly got on his horse, and he desperately slapped the horse's buttocks to speed up, but his face was covered with ashes: "What happened? The Han Dynasty didn't follow the routine! This is... an attempt to make an example of others?"

The surrounding forces who were secretly spying on them could see clearly that the Han tribe had no contact with the Lihuo tribe at all, and launched an attack directly!
"Huh?" Ji Chang frowned when he heard the scout's report: "You found that the Xu family is chasing a transport team?"

The scout replied respectfully: "Yes, join the army. The location is less than two miles from here."

Lu Tai was paying attention to the front, the Lihuo tribe was defeated without a fight, and the Jin soldiers who attacked were completely excited.He needs to pay attention to whether the Lihuo tribe is really retreating, or whether they are planning to make a plan or something.

Of course it was Xu Zhen who went after the transport team from the Xu family. Ji Chang immediately suggested to Lu Tai to divide his troops to encircle the convoy. Come to your side.

"It's interesting!" Ji Chang said with a deep smile, "Is it to take the opportunity to make trouble, or..."

Lu Tai had already confirmed that the Lihuo tribe was really fleeing, but he didn't notice other things. He ordered a hundred tribes to arm them, and led the attack in person.
