Chapter 547
As night fell, in the tribe with the surname An, there were many young people hiding in the dark outside, keeping watch.

Inside a tent in the middle of the tribe, small oil lamps were dimly lit, so as not to attract attention.

There were more than a dozen people sitting inside, including chiefs surnamed An, Kang, Shi, and He, as well as two Turkic tribes, and several Tiele and Dangxiang tribes who had good relations with these surnames.

In fact, today, they are not very willing.If they had known that Wang Hua had accepted Liuhu Prefecture and Fengsheng Prefecture, they would have been arguing with Mo Chuxu in the first place.Back then, when he agreed to silently sip, he never thought about Wang Hua at all.Since last year, he has been sticking to the eight states, not even Kuozhou and Linzhou, which are more important in military position, not to mention the impoverished Liuhu state.

The reason why they helped silently help the tyrant to do evil is also because of their bitter praise.The protection of the Tang Dynasty government was weak.Second, since the construction of several new cities, the imperial court has strengthened its management and began to rule directly. It even merged Liuhu Prefecture into the second state of Kuangchang, and then merged it into the Lanchi Governor's Mansion. It is related to the party members who migrated over.The control was strengthened, and tax collection began to be increased. Ashamed to bear the taxation and labor of the country like other Han people, this is what the Hu people who originally enjoyed various preferential policies of the Tang Dynasty did not want to see.The third is that after the establishment of Liuhu Prefecture, the imperial court successively moved over Dangxiang people, Tuyuhun people, Uighurs, Tongluo, Hun and Pugu, etc., who had the nine surnames of Tie Le, which intensified ethnic conflicts. Especially favored, coupled with the increase in the number of people and the decrease in pastures, this made the ministries dissatisfied again.

Therefore, after Mochuo arrived in Liuhuzhou, he decisively took advantage of this point to win over and divide many tribes.These tribes originally wanted to defect to the Turks, but now they silently accepted their attitude as if they were amiable, so they agreed immediately.

Later, when I saw Wang Hua's army coming, I felt very regretful in my heart. Everyone saw with their own eyes what the eight prefectures looked like last year.Many people had made up their minds to defect to Bashu, but Wang Hua refused all of them in order not to lose ground. He just sneaked over, and more than half of them were sent back.

But the bow that is fired, there is no arrow that turns back.It's too late to regret it now, Wang Hua also treats all Fan Hus like his own people, but he is a bowl of water.The degree of preferential treatment does not depend on which tribe this tribe belongs to, but on their loyalty and contribution to the blood camp.

But he assisted Mochuo to do a lot of bad things in Liuhuzhou, can Wang Hua really let him go?Didn't you see that once the militia was called up in the front, those ethnic groups in the back protested against it one by one?
Once on this thief ship, no one can get off.

The dim oil lamps flickered from time to time, and everyone sat silently. There was a man sitting in the middle, who was also dressed as a commoner. He looked at everyone and said, "I'll show you something."

As he said that, he opened the back under his feet, and there were several longbows inside, the longbows of the real blood camp.

These were captured from ships. This time, the fifty ships carried the most weapons, which were all kinds of arrows. After all, they were mainly for defense.Then there are shields, then a small amount of Mo Dao Heng Dao, and a large amount of explosives.He didn't bring any longbows with him. Zhang Shougui and the others left with many longbows. There were still some bows and arrows in the city, so there was no need for longbows.

But in order to prevent the Turks from shooting arrows from both sides, Liang Sitai and the others also set off with hundreds of longbows.Later, when he was trapped in the Yellow River, Liang Sitai's first thought was explosives. He threw the explosives into the river, and then escaped.

As a result, everyone jumped into the river together, or shot to death on the boat.Most of the boats were set on fire, and four or five boats floated to the shore, and because there were no soldiers on board, the Turks got the river boats.I also got the above weapons, other weapons don't matter, Guan Jian is more than [-] longbows that I didn't have time to take away or throw away, and they fell into the hands of the Turkic people.Mo Ju immediately realized its importance and sent it to Mo Chuai as a treasure.

I already knew its range, but unfortunately there has been no real sample imitation, only relying on graphics, the longbow developed by the Turks themselves is not the same thing.With these few longbows, technical improvements were immediately possible.

They also sent envoys, brought a few guns, and sneaked into Fengzhou, which gave these tribes confidence.

Seeing the longbow, everyone was a little surprised.During this period of time, the Blood Battalion issued many weapons to the militiamen who "participated in the war", but there was only one thing that they did not let go of, and that was the longbow.That night when the Blood Camp fought the Turks, some people watched from the dark and saw the range of this longbow.How did it fall into Mo Chuai's hands?

The messenger said triumphantly, "This was captured from the Blood Camp."

An Shoulu blinked his eyes and asked, "May I ask the messenger, did the Great Khan defeat the Blood Camp?"

"In the battle this evening, the Great Khan set up a plan on the Yellow River. Some of you probably saw fifty warships heading eastward, carrying [-] blood battalion troops on them. As a result, the Great Khan blocked the Yellow River with ropes. Then, with a fire, all the three thousand soldiers of the Blood Battalion in Shengzhou who supported the crumbling state were burned to death. Not only that, in Xiazhou and Sanjiao Funing, nearly [-] soldiers of the Blood Battalion were killed successively."

Anyway, they were fooling around, they were trapped in Fengzhou, and they couldn't hear any news from outside.This is also Mo Ju's instruction. They must have this confidence and courage, otherwise they will be cowardly and dare not participate in the battle. The wonderful move arranged by the Khan will be useless.

"real or fake?"

"Not really, how did we get these longbows? If it wasn't for the tight security of the Blood Camp, we might have sent hundreds of longbows to your ministries to increase their combat effectiveness. How many soldiers are there?"

Of course, if Xiazhou Triangle City is really all sacrificed by the soldiers of the blood battalion, the soldiers of the blood battalion are equivalent to losing one-third of the soldiers, and the consequences will be very bad.In fact, if so many soldiers were really lost, Wang Hua would have obediently retreated to Lingzhou to defend, and would still be struggling in Fengzhou.

But no matter how the emissary flickered, these chiefs were short-sighted, and that one knew the difference, and there was real evidence to prove it.Excitement flashed in their eyes.

The envoy said again: "The Great Khan came here this time and told me that if you make great contributions in this battle, our Turks will arrange your tribes near the Qalun River Yazhang. If you can attack Kill the painting of the king, and he will be crowned king, and his descendants will enjoy the official title forever and be exempted from paying taxes."

This once again made the atmosphere in the tent lively.

As for Wang Hua, I thought about it one by one. I was not sure that I could kill him. If I could kill him, I would have killed him long ago in the palace. How could it be their turn?

But now there are only three or four thousand soldiers in the blood camp, and no one takes them seriously at all among those militiamen.It is the militia team formed by his own clansmen, can it really be the opponent of the blood battalion fighters?But the Turks who came to attack Fengzhou this time were the famous brave general Mo Ju under Mo Chuai, and he came in person with an army of [-] people. Sip the weapons that are issued, and cooperate with the inside and the outside, so you don't have to worry about not being able to take down Toyosu.

Where is the best place in Turkic?Undoubtedly it is near the Yazhang of the Jialun River.Because this is the core area of ​​Turkic, safety is guaranteed first.In addition, the Qilun River flows through, and the grass on both sides is rich, so you can live and work in peace.This is undoubtedly great news.

So short-sighted, this area is full of the most caring tribes of Mochuo who are here, and it's their turn.But after all, they are only a little better than ordinary people, and they don't have such a long-term perspective on problems. Otherwise, Kang Daibin would not rebel again.Does treason work?Can it really fight against the mighty Tang Dynasty?As a result, countless strong men were strangled by the Tang Dynasty, and then the Zhaowu nine surnames declined in Liuhu Prefecture, and later this area became the world of the party members, and even later the Tubo people began to outnumber their Zhaowu nine surnames.

Everyone thought they had heard a lot of good news, and whispered among themselves.

At this time, in Fengzhou City, Wang Hua blamed himself deeply.

The tragic experience of Liang Sitai and other [-] soldiers, as long as the ship entered the range of the rope net, they could not escape.In fact, in the final analysis, I still underestimated my opponent, or thought that I was invincible in the water, and became arrogant.

In the afternoon, he was thinking about the arrangement of Mo Chuai, but in the end, he had no choice but to ask Kong Heizi to allocate half of the troops and withdraw to Lingzhou.Let's keep playing peek-a-boo.But Wang Hua knew that as the hole cards were revealed one by one, it was almost time for everyone to see each other, and they began to fight with real swords and guns.At the same time, I was also worried about Li Xuejun.Just when he was thinking about silently sipping his true thoughts, he suddenly heard news from Liang Sitai and the others.

Sitting in the room in pain, I didn't speak for most of the day.

At this time, outsiders came in to report that the Turks had begun to contact those tribes.Moreover, Mo Ju's army began to set out towards the west surrendered city.

Wang Hua thought about it for a while, and immediately guessed that Mochuo played himself hard, cheating more than 1000 troops of his own, and then couldn't hold back.

"Eh, that's not right," he whispered, his eyes suddenly brightened, and this time he finally guessed what Mo Chuipi was up to.

Since Mo Ju came here this time and vowed to take Fengzhou, why did he take Fengzhou?This is Mochuo who wants to go north, get through this bridgehead, and then cross the Yellow River. He can fight or retreat.In the south he has no desire to fight.These two armies are doing it on purpose.To attract myself to continue to focus on Lingzhou and Yanzhou.

"It's still not right, pretending deliberately?" Thinking of this, he shuddered, pretending to be for whom, but for himself, but his own people didn't see it, only An Jiewu and his group saw it.Could it be that An Jiewu and the others were exposed?
Thinking of this, he froze for a moment, and what he was most worried about happened.How to do?If it is a soldier, he can retreat immediately, but what about the people?If something goes wrong, not only these ordinary people, but also many clansmen with the Shi surname in Lingzhou, and many people with the nine surnames of Zhaowu, how can I explain to them?

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly thought of another question. A big battle was imminent. If it hadn't been for the notification from Pu Guqing, he would never have thought that such a bomb would be buried in the territory.If you don't know, you won't pay attention to the secret meeting of the Turkic envoys with the chiefs of these dozen tribes tonight.Then you don't know the intention of silently drinking, which means that you are really confused by the false image of silently drinking.In other words, silently sipping almost succeeded.

After success, An Jiewu's business lost their value.What's next?
Thinking of this, he immediately called out, "Come here."

Gathered some soldiers, mobilized two smart and capable swimmers to immediately rush to Zhongshou surrendered city, swam over there, took the risk to find An Jiewu and the others, and informed them of the news, what should I do, I don't know the specific situation in Toyosu , and let An Jiewu deal with it urgently.And let the bow of the ship staying on the pier on the south bank of Fengzhou start to move towards Zhongshoucheng City, preparing to receive Jiang Jiewu and the others to board the ship and withdraw.

That's it, Wang Hua was still worried that he was one step too late.

Then immediately send someone to inform Kong Heizi, Li Kaigu, Wang Jun, Gongsun Yun, and Liu Tong that except for Gongsun Yun and Zhu Dian who stayed to guard Yanzhou and Lingzhou, the other generals came out with all the soldiers they could bring. , the waterway went side by side, and the official departure to Toyosu began.

Of course, this arrangement is a bit risky. If the silent battle is unfavorable, it is possible to go south again, and it will really go south.But at that time, counting the itinerary, the [-] troops of the Southern Blood Battalion had already rushed back to Lingzhou, so there was no need to worry.

But there is one thing Wang Hua has to admit, even though Pugu Qing is a flamboyant woman, if it weren't for her appearance, the situation of this battle would not know where to turn, and it is even possible that after a few days, she would be incomparable. Passive, as for the loss, it may also be extremely heavy.

Because he brought a lot of siege equipment and was afraid of the blood camp's harassment and ambush, Mo Ju's journey was very slow, and he didn't arrive at the West Surrendered City until the afternoon.

After arriving, they attacked the city immediately, but they didn't get a good deal.The Blood Battalion has recently acquired a large number of weapons and has recruited more than 9000 militiamen.It's not about fighting. Hiding behind the wall, shooting arrows, and throwing big stones is still no problem.

In order to immediately develop the combat effectiveness of the militiamen, Wang Hua took turns to replace them. The soldiers who fought all afternoon were relaxed, just like strolling in a garden.

But at this time, a bad thing happened. Originally, they dispatched their own troops and trained separately, but now the militiamen of various ministries gathered together and finally clashed. When they were together, there was a conflict of words, and finally a large-scale fighting broke out.

In a rage, Wang Hua used the regular army to defend the city, gathered these militiamen together on the playground of the former West Surrendered Barracks, and began to give lectures.

He said angrily: "What time is it now? You are still squabbling. What if the enemy breaks the city? Don't you want to be a prisoner of the Turks again?"

After a while of scolding, he turned to Jiang Zhengdao and said, "Disarm all their weapons and armor."

Many soldiers were unwilling, but at this time more than 1000 soldiers from the Blood Battalion rushed out and aimed at them with bows and arrows.Wang Hua said again: "I gave you the weapon. You are still unwilling to take it back now? Don't you want to rebel!"

But when the subject changed, it became softer, and said: "Now is for you to reflect, and this is only the first batch of enemies. Without you, the Blood Camp will still hold the city for you. Guan Jian is the future, and there will be more in the future." A lot of enemies are coming. Put down your weapons together now. I don’t care if you are from Dangxiang, Tiele, Shatuo, Tubo, Zhaowu, or Han. Reflect on each of you. After reflection, write a letter of guarantee to Me. If you can’t write, ask someone who can write to write it for you. After writing the guarantee, I will issue weapons again.”

The last sentence, let some people, not some, but a large group of militiamen stop worrying, isn't it just a guarantee, and put down their weapons one by one.

However, in order to avoid conflicts, Wang Hua divided the militia into two groups, one group was close to the Turkic tribes. After so many days of investigation, Wang Hua knew all about those tribes who had defected to the Turks.One group is the sufferer.It happened that there were two barracks on the east and west sides of the playground, one on each side, and began to write a letter of guarantee.

There are paper pens and inkstones in the barracks, as well as a few tables and chairs, as if they were asked to write a letter of guarantee.

But there are many people who can't write, so I asked someone to write it for me, but after I wrote it, there were still soldiers from the blood camp guarding it.Some people were not happy, and asked: "We have finished writing, why not let us go out."

The soldier guarding the gate of the barracks said indifferently: "Get out? How easy is it to get out? Write well, reflect from the heart, and write down the words of introspection in your heart before the battalion supervisor will let you go out, put on your armor, and take up your weapons to go into battle. You can stay here at ease tonight, dinner will be delivered later, and then beds will be delivered for you to rest. We will talk about it tomorrow. Don’t expect to be fooled and it will be over. Our battalion supervisor is not so easy to fool."

These soldiers were not happy, but they saw that the opposite barracks were also arguing endlessly, and they all fell silent.Everyone has a bowl of water, and there is no complaints.What Wang Hua said made sense, at least from his point of view, if the infighting continued, there would be a leak in the defense of Fengzhou.Even though these militiamen were unwilling, and now they had no weapons in their hands, they did not dare to gamble fiercely in the face of the armed and powerful fighters of the blood battalion.So they quarreled for a while, until the dinner was delivered, and after dinner, everyone fell silent.

Of course, many people are very anxious.

Seeing this situation, Wang Hua let go of his hanging heart.

At this time, Jiang Zhengdao walked to the east barracks where the suffering master was placed, looked at everyone, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Just listen, everyone, don't talk, anyone who wants to say a word, I will immediately pull him out and kill him."

After telling what had happened, everyone was shocked, followed by ecstasy.

After Jiang Zhengdao finished speaking, he said again: "Everyone has always wanted revenge, and I will give you a chance to take revenge tonight. If you want to, it's still the same sentence, you are not allowed to speak, you are only allowed to nod."

As soon as he finished speaking, almost everyone began to nod.

But there were still many Blood Battalion soldiers standing at the gates of the two barracks, even the east barracks. All the militiamen were guarding the two barracks and they were not allowed to enter or leave.This is also why Wang Hua was careful to prevent some fish that slipped through the net in the east barracks. Once they were released to report the news, the success tonight would be in vain.

As the sky gradually darkened, a wet man emerged from Moju's tent. Moju looked at him and asked, "What does the tribe on the other side of the river say?"

"They don't know the specific situation. Now the south gate of the surrendered city is also blocked by the blood camp. But they said that [-] soldiers mixed up and joined the militia. Although Wang Hua blocked the news, someone in the city is making arrangements. If the time comes, it may be tonight, or tomorrow night, they wait for an opportunity to attack. At the same time, they also inform the general that as long as the general takes this surrendered city, there will only be [-] soldiers stationed in Fengzhou in the south. And they still have There are seven or eight hundred soldiers left, as long as the general breaks through the city in front, and then assists the general in capturing the stone bridge from the south."

Mo Ju smiled and said nothing.

He thought to himself that Feng Shui took turns, first Da Khan suffered a loss in Fengzhou and Xiazhou, and now it was Wang Hua's turn to suffer a loss in Fengzhou on the Yellow River.

The night gradually deepened, and suddenly there were countless fighting sounds and miserable screams in Fengzhou City.Although separated by the moat and the city wall, the wind still faintly spread to Mo Ju's ears.

He jumped up from the bed and said, "Everyone gather immediately and prepare to take Toyosu!"
