I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 395
In March of the sixth year of Zhengxi, Anhua, the Gyeongju prefecture, fell, and the governor Zhang Huai, Sima Liu Jian, and dozens of civil and military personnel including Bie Jia, county magistrate, county officials, and school lieutenant died.

It's just by name.

More than [-] defenders in the city were killed in battle, plus more than [-] civilians.

In order to retaliate against the resistance in Anhua City, the Qingtang people killed all the men, and all the women and children were taken into captivity.

In fact, the leader of the army, Qingyijie Guizhang, did not agree with this way of handling, but even the maharaja had to explain something to the Qingtang soldiers after a bitter battle.

The Qingtang people are different from the Jin Dynasty. Most of the soldiers are slaves of the leader, and there is no such thing as military pay.

Driving them to fight, apart from the looting and indulgence after the war, the greedy chiefs are not willing to give too much.

Usually can eat enough.

Give some wine and meat before the war, and let them loot wantonly after the war.

Military pay?

Have not heard.
After the fall of Anhua, the West Route Army left only a few thousand people to guard the rear, and more than [-] troops immediately rushed to Anding in Jingzhou.

Anding is an important town in Guanzhong, located on the important road of Yongliang and Liangzhou. If the stability is lost, Qingtang people can leave Longshan and drive directly to Qinfeng, Xijing and other places.

So Ma Yulin, who had just been promoted from Jingzhou Sima to Jingzhou Defense Envoy, did not choose to rescue Gyeongju after receiving the military order.

Did not attack rashly.

Instead, strictly follow the military order to strengthen the city defense, abandon all the forts and beacon tunnels outside the city, gather the defenders, and stand ready.

Ma Yulin was born in a powerful family in Guanzhong, with outstanding martial arts. During the Honglian Rebellion in the Xuanjia period, he led his tribe to join the army and was awarded the post of school captain. Later, he followed Wu'anhou all the way into Sichuan, and participated in the Songzhou War and the Jianzhou, where Honglian was wiped out. Jianzhou waits for service.

Known as a military official, he was promoted to be the Marquis of Duyu, and a few years later he was promoted to Sima of Jingzhou.

After Wu'an Hou arrived in Guanzhong, he felt that Jingzhou was in a dangerous position, so he directly promoted him to be the defense envoy of Jingzhou.

Because he had served under the Marquis of Wu An, he naturally knew the military order of the Marquis, and there was never room for bargaining.

Even if he really wanted to launch a surprise cavalry attack before the Qingtang Army invaded Jingzhou.

But now that the military order has arrived, he can only suppress his fighting spirit and honestly close the city and stick to it.

Ma Yulin also knew that Qingzhou was lonely in the north, and if it was lost, it would be lost, but Jingzhou, as a strategic location, must not have any mistakes.

So even after seeing the Qingtang people slowly setting up camp outside the city, which looked extremely loose, Ma Yulin didn't even dare to think about going to war because of the military order.

But the facts proved that both the military order of Marquis Wu'an and Ma Yulin's choice were correct.

Thousands of Qingtang people ambushed in the forest outside the city.

It was when the weather gradually calmed down that the Jin army would never leave the city to fight, so Tuoba Qiang, who was in charge of the ambush, led the crowd back to the camp.

And these naturally fell into the eyes of the Jin army scouts.

"The Jin generals in Anding City can hold their breath. If the Jin people are willing to fight, they might be able to break the bead curtain and follow the defenders into the city."

"That's right, if you take the opportunity to enter the city, you can just grab it, hahahaha, these Jin people are like sheep."

"If we can take Anding first, we can go straight to Guanzhong. At that time, this land will be ours, so we don't have to divide it with the wolf cubs in the north."

After night fell, in Qingtang people's central army tent, Qingtang generals headed by Guizhang sat around and ate hand meat, talking about today's failure to lure the enemy, they couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

But I am full of anticipation for the recorded battle.

At this time last year, they never dreamed that they would be able to capture Longyou, and even break into Guanzhong.

After all, the Battle of Hehuang has not passed for a few years, and the Beijing Temple built by Wu'an Hou Fu Jinchuan with tens of thousands of heads of Hehuang Hulu and Qingtang people is still there.

In the past year or so, the situation has changed, and Da Jin, who was originally awe-inspiring, has come to this point.

It was the first time for these people to taste this kind of sweetness.

This also gave birth to their courage. In Guanzhong, they Qingtang themselves are not good, why do they want to carve up with the northerners?
Everyone drank wine, ate meat, and even talked seriously about finding a few noble girls from the state of Jin to be slaves after conquering Guanzhong in the future
But someone is always awake.

Tuobajian, the younger brother of the majesty, first said: "Generals, don't be too happy, we haven't settled down yet, don't forget that the general of Jin who is guarding the pass now is Marquis Wu'an! Confront that demon king , who of you dare to say that you can win?"

When this pot of cold water was poured down, a Qingtang general named Liuzhi Township Penda cleared the way.

"Why should the lord raise the ambitions of the Jin people and destroy the prestige of our Dabai Gao Kingdom? Although Marquis Wu'an of the Jin Kingdom can fight, he is now facing enemies from both sides. The Maharaja and the 40 Maharajas of the Great Khan of Bishamon in the north are waiting in Yanzhou Let’s wait for him, and when we settle down, take advantage of the situation and dig out his back, flanking him back and forth, then he will be a god, and he will be trapped to death by us!”

"Yes, what Punda said is right, as long as we can lay down An Ding, we will be able to avenge our revenge in Hehuang and Songzhou when we attack from two sides! In the words of their Jin Kingdom, it will be a shame!"

Liuzhi Township Penda's words immediately led several Qingtang chieftains and generals to take the lead, as if they could easily step over the city wall of Anding City.

And the Marquis of Wu'an, who was called "Jin Yaluoshan" by the soldiers of the Qingtang Dynasty, was nothing but a dead bone in the tomb.

Tuoba Qian was refuted, and wanted to say something more, but felt that someone had pulled his robe, and saw the coach Qingyi Jie Guizhang, who was sitting in the upper position, beckoning to him and winking, so he also sat down sullenly .

The one who pulled his robe was the eldest grandson of the late Junshen Lun Zanpo, Lun Rixu, who was the deputy commander of this trip just like Tuoba Jian.He has fought side by side with Gui Zhang and Tuoba Qian for some years.

Although Lun Rixu has always been known for his bravery and is not as intelligent as his younger brother Lun Gazhen, Lun Rixu, who was born in a small tribe, would never be a fool under the training of an old fox like Lun Zanpo.

Both Gui Zhang and Tuoba Jian trusted him.

After Tuobajian sat down again, Lun Rixu said in a low voice: "My lord, no one will reason with yaks. At most, these people have participated in the Songzhou battle and the Hehuang battle. Few of them have seen Wu'an Hou's prestige when he goes into battle in person."

After hearing this, Tuoba Qian was silent and nodded.

Then Lun Rixu said again: "The prince knows about the battle of Shule, right?"

Tuoba Jian picked up the wine bowl and drank a bowl of highland barley shochu, then nodded heavily.

Of course, he knew about the battle of Shule. Qingtang's [-] troops, led by his father and former maharaja Tuoba Chide, attacked Shule City.

In the end, only a few thousand people returned to the Xihai Plateau, and even lost the Maharaja's white yak banner and the Great Buddha House.

It was also the Battle of Shule that made Fu Jinchuan, a young warrior under the age of 20, become the most popular Marquis of Wu'an in the Jin Dynasty.

Thinking back to ten years ago, when their grandfather let them flee Shule overnight with twenty riders, Lun Rixu couldn't help showing a trace of worry on his face.

"They only know that that person is extremely brave and uses soldiers like a god, but they don't know that when he was a teenager, that person has completely devoured people's hearts."

And Tuoba Qian who was at the side was also secretly shocked when he heard about Fu Jinchuan's method of keeping the enemy in blood clothes more than ten years ago.

The Battle of Shule was the most secretive matter of his father Tuoba Chide.

No one was allowed to talk about it. Since his father died in a mutiny in the Songzhou War, few people still mentioned it.

So Tuobajian, who was still young back then, didn't know these details, and now he was a little surprised when he heard what Lun Rixu said.

When mentioning Shule City, people think of Fu Jinchuan's unparalleled bravery. Eight hundred iron cavalry made [-] Qingtang warriors unable to hold their heads up. ?
Today, more than ten years later, can they really easily defeat the "Jin Yaluoshan" and seize the most important Guanzhong land in the Central Plains?

Whether it is the coach Qingyi Jieguizhang, or the deputy coaches Lun Rixu and Tuobajian, they will not be too optimistic about this.

As everyone knows, the danger came earlier than they imagined.
