I Am Going To Fight From West To East

"My lord, there's still a month and a half before the Chinese New Year." Cheng Jushu followed Li Xiang on horseback: "When I went south, Mistress asked me to ask you, what are you doing? Time to go back?"Cheng Jushu and Cheng Jurong, the two of them have just traveled south from Jiuyuan County, not just in time for Li Xiang to go to Pearl City. When they set off, Wu Yating specially told the two of them to come and ask, Li Xiang and the Xiliang army have been on the land of Liang Province since the beginning of the year. It has been a long time since I returned to Jiuyuan County. "I will go back after I drive the prairie people back."Li Xiang looked at the snow-covered ground around him: "If it weren't for these prairie people, I would have been on the boat back to Jiuyuan City by now. This time, they have to be frightened, otherwise they will go south every once in a while, but it's really disgusting.""My lord, why don't we just wipe out their grassland tribe? "Cheng Jurong suddenly asked from the side. Li Xiang laughed and said: "This year, I have no choice but to wait for the next year. Are you feeling cold now?""It's a little cold." Cheng Jurong replied naively. Cheng Jushu patted the younger brother's shoulder on the side: "We are now in the land of Liang Province, Liang Province is so cold, where do you think the temperature on the grassland can be high? And our army has just been in the Fufeng Plain. Even those made of steel need to rest after a few months of fierce fighting.Our mission this time is to drive away those invading steppe people, then go back to rest and wait for the next year to deal with them."Cheng Jushu has been around Li Xiang for so many years, and his IQ has improved a little, but Jurong is still as naive as ever. "so that's how it is!" Cheng Jurong nodded, not knowing whether he really understood or pretended to understand. Cheng Jushu continued on the side, and said a little sorry: "Lord, you see that you have put me in the Academy to study for so long, can I..."The reason why Cheng Jushu didn't follow Li all the time Xiang was next to him because he was scared and thrown into the Academy of Jiuyuan City to study. Of course, Cheng Jurong also followed. But the achievements of the two are one in the sky and one in the ground!"Starting next year, you will lead 4,000 troops to follow me temporarily!" There are still too few generals in Xiliang, so Li Xiang wants to cultivate A general from his own faction. Many of those officers who joined Xiliang, what they learned was the art of war in their own family or from other places, which was quite useful, but not very suitable for the soldiers of Xiliang. Because Xiliang soldiers can do many things that ordinary soldiers can't do, Li Xiang trained a group of Xiliang officers by himself. Cheng Jushu, Cheng Jurong was one of the first officers to study. Cheng Jushu passed with full marks, Cheng Jurong's words were no different from before. If you don't have the ability to command the army, then you should be a captain by your side. "many thanks Lord!" Cheng Jushu knew that the 4,000 people Li Xiang mentioned were not the soldiers under his father, but the real soldiers of the headquarters of Xiliang. The strength of the soldiers of Xiliang Headquarters can only be understood by the person who has led the Guards. If he has 4000 Xiliang Headquarters soldiers in his hands, he can attack the 10,000 army under his father. The soldiers under his father are about 1 in 100. It is not a simple person who can be a soldier on the land of Xiliang. The selection of soldiers in Xiliang is very strict, and they also have very high military pay, otherwise they will not be attractive. To so many people go to join the army. "This is what I promised you before? But remember that every soldier is extremely precious, and you need to be responsible for their safety." Li Xiang said to Cheng Jushu very seriously. "Don't worry, my lord? I'm with them? If they die, I will die too." Cheng Jushu also said with a serious face. Li Xiang didn't say anything after listening, and watched a war horse galloping on the snow in the distance. The soldier in charge of sending the order ran to Li Xiang and stopped. "Master? A letter from the front."The soldier dismounted and handed a well-preserved envelope to Li Xiang? Li Xiang opened the envelope? A few large characters were written on the paper. "The people from the grassland knew that our army was coming, so they initiated an attack.""It actually launched an attack ahead of time!" Li Xiang said to Cheng Jushu: "Pass my order, the whole army will speed up and let the second general lead the way. Infantry, I'll go with the cavalry first.""No!"Cheng Jushu rode his horse to the rear? Li Xiang said to Cheng Jurong: "You follow me!""Yes!"Cheng Jurong's face is full of smiles? He's been in Jiuyuan City for too long? He feels like his body is going to rust? Together with the lord, he fought to the north and south. I haven't fought side by side with the lord for a long time, which makes him really miss him. Thinking about coming to Xiliang? Surely I can fight side by side with the lord again? I thought it would take a while, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon. Boom!The cavalry army led by Li Xiang rushed to the direction of the Pearl City. The best way to deal with this cold weather for any race in the land of Liang Province is to go home and stay at home. Instead of running and fighting on this vast and boundless plain. Prairie people are if you ride a tiger, it's hard to get off, they can't come back empty-handed this time!Have spent a lot of cattle and sheep, if you run back without getting some supplies, this It's hard for them to get through in winter. Because it will take at least four months for the snow to melt from now on next year, the food and grass they stored in the tribe can barely survive 3-4 months. But because of the reason they went south, the tribe took out the materials they had stored and supplied them to them, just to let them get a lot of materials from the south and feed them back to the tribe. Now they have nothing to gain in the south, and they have to spend a lot of materials on the way back, how can they have the face to return to the tribe? Dan Yu of the Qiang people knew that if he returned with nothing at this time, his position would be over, so he cooperated with the Xianbei people and started to attack the Pearl City and surrounding cities. The purpose is to get more resources and let everyone stand up and go back!It backfired, they thought that Xiliang would not care about Pearl City, but they started the encirclement operation At the time, he had already received the news that the Xiliang army was heading north. There is no way, they started to attack Pearl City and surrounding cities without making adequate preparations. These warriors from the grassland tribes also know very well what their fate will be when the Xiliang army arrives. If they go back to the fortress without getting a lot of materials, the old people in the tribe are likely to die. die because of them. Those old people have their elders!Those old people on the grassland, when the cold winter comes, when food and other supplies are not enough, they will walk out of the camp by themselves and go to the vast snow sea. In the past, when they were still with the Dagan Dynasty, they had enough food every winter, but in the past few hundred years, the situation has become worse and worse, and they can only go south to plunder. Every time they go to the south to plunder, they can make their tribe have a fertile winter. Those high-ranking people in the south, as long as they don't touch their interests, these people will not stop them. So whenever the prairie tribes feel that it is difficult for their tribe to survive this winter, they will go south and plunder, plundering a lot of materials and slaves from the south. Those slaves can also be used as food in the cold winter. For them, in that cold situation, they will eat as long as they have food. They don't care if they eat human, as long as it's not their clansman. Anyway, in that extremely cold winter, they have no extra food for the slaves to eat, and these slaves will starve to death by themselves. Instead, it is better to let them eat and let more people survive. So every time they go south, they will get a lot of supplies and food and grass for the winter. One trip south can give them almost three years of worry-free winter. At the same time, two or three years can also allow the civilians in the south to develop for a while, store more food at home, and get more things when they plunder!These come from the grasslands The hungry wolves, they frantically launched an attack on the cities around the Pearl City. The Pearl City is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The generals of the grassland tribe did not immediately attack the city, but first attacked the surrounding cities. Those small cities were taken down. I don't know if I don't fight, but a dozen generals of these grassland tribes were attracted by the surrounding small cities, and plundered a large amount of materials and population in these small cities. When Anding County was attacked by the Xiliang army before, the surrounding cities transferred most of their supplies to Pearl City, because Pearl City had a large number of troops to protect it. At the same time, this was also an important place for the Han Family to think that the counterattack was, so they accumulated a lot of supplies here. These materials are hidden deep, and not many people know about them except the high-level Han Family. When the grassland tribes captured these small towns and searched for materials everywhere, they found these sealed materials, and they immediately obtained a large amount of grain and various weapons and equipment. The senior officials of the Xianbei and Qiang nationalities surrounding the Pearl City were shocked by the news from everywhere, because they got so much that they couldn't believe it. Among the materials they obtained, there were very few things like gold, silver and jewelry, and most of them were weapons, equipment and food. The things like gold, silver and jewelry are not lacking in the grassland people, and they don't need them. On the contrary, it is weapons and equipment, food and other materials, which are the most urgently needed things on the grasslands. A carriage and a carriage of food and grass are sent to the camp. All the prairie people are attracted by the harvest in front of them. The more things they get, the more violent they attack the surrounding small towns. At the same time, the civilians who had been staying at home well were captured by them, but now these grassland people have not been burned. The most urgent thing for them is to transport these materials to the north. The Xiliang army is quickly approaching the Pearl City. They need to move these materials to the north at the fastest speed, otherwise they will wait for the Xiliang army. After arriving, they have no time to transport these materials. The young and middle-aged people captured by them are all used to transport supplies, and those women are miserable!In the camp of the prairie people, the screams of women can be heard at night. The defenders in the Pearl City naturally saw the carriage and a large number of civilians outside, and they knew that the surrounding small cities could no longer be defended. "motherfucker! These big cadres are so rich, we have only conquered so many small cities and gained so many things."The face of Qiang Da Chanyu no longer hangs on his face Sad face, the materials obtained now have long been enough for the entire tribe, and the warriors of each tribe can get the amount promised before. Those small cities around can harvest so much material, so what kind of wealth does Pearl City, the largest city in this place, have!It is a pity that the defenders in the city are very tenacious, and they can survive in the city wall Seeing a large number of militiamen, the other party has gathered a large number of people in the city, and it is very difficult for them to attack the city. Before they had no choice, they would think about attacking the city. Now that they have obtained what they want, they naturally have no desire to attack the city in front of them. “Military advisor, what do you say from the Xianbei people?”military advisor respectfully said to Shanyu: “The Xianbei people also think that the materials they have obtained so far are enough, and the Xiliang army is only left for us. Two or three days' journey, the weather is getting colder and colder, we should go back first.""It would be great if there were no Xiliang army, I really want to know what kind of wealth there is in this pearl city!" The treasures in the Pearl City are still obsessed with material things. military advisor said with a smile on the side: "Shanyu, I believe that what you got this year will definitely make the people of the tribe very satisfied, and when you go south again next year, you will definitely gather more warriors in the district. br>We came too late this year. If we go south while the horses are fat and the sheep are fat, we will be able to harvest several times more than we are now.This year's harvest is enough for you Establish a strong prestige, and there will be more warriors under your command next year!”“That’s right, next year I will lead more warriors to come, must break this Pearl City, take a good look inside How many things are there.”The Qiang ethnic group, who had obtained a large amount of supplies, was high-spirited and vigorous at this time, and the fear of the army in the southwest was close to nothing, if the weather was not getting colder and the snow was getting thicker and thicker. He is going to break this Pearl City!
