Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 30 Conquering the Jianren ([-])

Morizuki

This place used to be the burial place of Wang Liang, the eldest son of Wang. Now, his eldest son, Wang Taihao, set foot on this land again just like his father did back then.

"My lord orders, slow down!"

"My lord orders, slow down!"

The army of the royal family of Liaodong was marching along the river to the Nuolan tribe upstream. A light-armed soldier holding a military flag rode a fast horse on the military order passage, and delivered the lord's military order to the various serf soldiers.

This team consisted of one hundred heavy armored cavalry, fifty Liaodong light cavalry longbowmen, ten light cavalry, twenty scouts, one thousand serf soldiers with iron blades and long spears, and one thousand Jianren servants.

This team is divided into three parts: the front, the middle and the rear. The front is ten cavalry wearing heavy armor as the vanguard, and the last is also ten cavalry wearing heavy armor as the rear guard. As for the middle army, Wang Taihao, the lord of the royal family, is wearing heavy armor. Leading the army on armored iron horses, beside him is "General" Zhang Long.

And behind the rear guard was the [-]-year-old servant army commanded by Wang Anke.

Due to the uneven mountains and many trees, it is not suitable for chariots to travel, so no chariots were brought on this expedition.

And because he might be attacked by the Nuolan people halfway at any time, this time, Wang Taihao did not choose to travel lightly, but marched with the whole army in armor.

At the same time, in order to save energy, the army was ordered to slow down.

The central part of the royal army is guarded by elite heavy cavalry on the left and right sides, and inside it are a thousand serf soldiers with long spears, and inside it are two left and right military order passages for orderly soldiers. In the left and right military order passages, It is to escort hundreds of farmers who accompany the army with food and supplies.

These supplies are only for emergency use with the army, and more supplies are far behind, being escorted by nearly [-] serfs.

And [-] scouts were also scattered in the surrounding mountains and forests to investigate while following the army to prevent possible ambush by the Nuolan people.

At the same time, there was a group of serf soldiers at the front with various tools to level the road, so that the baggage trucks would not be stuck in the potholes and could not move forward. These serf soldiers who were responsible for repairing the road fortifications ahead were also protected by ten heavy armored cavalry.

Although the army has food and supplies, the main method of supply for the royal army is to rely on plundering the tribes along the river. The purpose of carrying food and supplies is to prevent the tribes from clearing the land, and to move the people and supplies of the tribes along the river away in advance. The royal army has no food to loot.

In order to decide the world in the first battle, Wang Taihao spent all his money and equipped every serf soldier with an iron blade spear. Even during the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion a few years ago, Wang Taihao was reluctant to equip the serf soldiers with iron weapons.

One was the fear of rebellion by newly joined serf soldiers, and the other was that there were serfs everywhere in the Central Plains who could be captured at any time. The situation at that time was that iron was more expensive than people, and they were reluctant to wear and tear the iron.

Now that these serf soldiers have been integrated for a few years, the chance of rebellion is very small, and the people of the mountains and forests are far stronger than those ordinary powerful gentry in the Central Plains. In any case, they must be updated with more lethal iron weapons.

Each serf soldier is equipped with three long spears, and each cavalry is equipped with two horses, three long spears, and a close-fitting dagger. Long arm gloves for protecting hands. The inner layer of the long arm gloves is soft silk to prevent sticking hands, the outer layer is animal skin, and the middle is stuffed with mink hair.

Looking at the soldiers in the team, Wang Taihao was very satisfied, and thought in his heart.

Although our royal family in Liaodong is very strict with the serfs and is reluctant to let them have enough food, even the most basic sackcloth and animal clothes, but they attach great importance to their own soldiers, sending them to mansions, wives and concubines, Send slaves, carry out cultural education, and equip with all kinds of equipment that are countless times more luxurious than the most elite troops of the Han Dynasty, and the diet in life is also a meal of beef.

Eating beef is of course illegal, and even beheaded if it is serious, but these don't matter to our Liaodong royal family. In order to let the soldiers enjoy the best treatment, it is nothing to violate the laws of the big man.

Besides, as long as it is not such a super crime of treason, how can the Chang'an court have the time to take care of this trivial matter of our Liaodong royal family thousands of miles away. The imperial power in Chang'an is not limited to the county, and sometimes the county is not necessarily under the control of the imperial power.

By squeezing tens of thousands of low-level serfs, continuously plundering the surrounding aborigines, and at the same time trading with the Central Plains all year round, the three methods are multi-pronged, and our royal family can barely support the two to three hundred soldiers here.

Under my Wang Taihao's high attention and the favorable conditions provided, these soldiers of mine are not only extremely powerful in combat, but also have a first-class cultural level in today's world. The cultural level of each soldier is no lower than that of ordinary soldiers in the Central Plains. Son, their mastery of the etiquette of the Central Plains is no worse than that of the gentry in the Central Plains.

It may be an exaggeration to say that my soldiers of the Liaodong royal family are well-educated, but it is true that they are profoundly knowledgeable.

Whenever a soldier is killed in battle, I will personally bury him, and his descendants will become ordinary people in Silvermoon Harbor, instead of being reduced to tenant farmers and serfs, they can be small traders, handicraftsmen, fishermen, and craftsmen etc.

With such super high treatment, which one of the soldiers in the army is not loyal to me?

Tread-tap-

When Wang Taihao was thinking so complacently.

A scout rode back from the depths of the forest to the central army and shouted at him: "Report—"

"You continue to lead the army forward."

Wang Taihao ordered Zhang Long to take over from him to command the army march, and then he left the army with a few personal guards, and met the panting scout, only to see a cute girl tied on his horseback, who looked like a Jian Ren, but was wearing a silk dress that only Han officials and ladies would wear, so he looked at the scout, waiting for him to give him an answer.

"My lord, when I was exploring in the dense forest ahead, I caught a girl. She said she had important information to report to you, but in case she might be an assassin, I tied her up." The scout got off his horse and told Wang Taihao alone. Kneel down and respectfully report.

"Put her down."

Wang Taihao just ordered the scouts to put the girl off the horse, but he didn't let her loose, because he didn't want to be killed by a female assassin for no reason.

"My great lord, I am Wang Luoxi from the Nuolan Department. I have important military information to report to you!" The lovely girl knelt on the ground and spoke to Wang Taihao excitedly as soon as she dismounted from her horse.

"You said you belonged to Nuolan's department, so why did you take a Chinese name, speak Chinese, and wear the silk clothes of Han officials and ladies?" Wang Taihao first questioned.

"I, I... huh—" She spoke in a hurry as soon as she got off the horse, which made the girl a little out of breath. After taking a deep breath, she explained to Wang Taihao: "The great king My lord, I am Luo Xier from the Nuolan Department, the younger sister of the rebel leader Ayina. Wang Luoxi is the Chinese name I gave myself. Since I was young, I admired the advanced Chinese culture, so I learned Chinese since I was young. In order to get rid of the lowly status of a poor man one day, become a noble Han, marry a Han scholar, even if it is just a concubine."

After all, the girl Wang Luoxi informed Wang Taihao of the deployment of Nuo Lan's troops, and waited happily for Wang Taihao to reward her.

however……

"How do I know if your words are true or not? What if you are sent by the rebels to deliver false information to me, and trick me into the real trap of the rebels?" Wang Taihao was very calm, and did not immediately believe the girl's information. .

"If I, my Wang Luoxi, tell a lie, I will be a lowly rascal for the rest of my life." After the bound girl finished speaking, seeing that Wang Taihao still didn't believe it, she eagerly added to him: "If the lord, you If you don’t believe me, you can send scouts to the places I mentioned to see if there are traps set by the rebels.”

Until now, Wang Taihao smiled slightly and said: "Of course I will send scouts to investigate the places you mentioned. If the investigation results are not what you said, I will reward you to my soldiers and let them live in this icy and snowy place." enjoy you here."

"I, Wang Luoxi, have absolutely no lies. Please rest assured, my lord, and no matter what the results of the investigation, I will not run away. Being able to stay by your side and pay respects to you is the happiest thing in my life, Luoxier. !" Seeing that Wang Taihao seemed to believe a little bit, the girl was very happy, wishing she could lie in Wang Taihao's arms and be favored immediately.
