Chapter 288 temptation
Zhang Zhengyuan sent troops to Youyan, and even the Liaodong troops felt a little unexpected.
They themselves also knew that the Liaodong soldiers outside the pass were famous and were almost invincible when they arrived in Youyan, so the Liaodong soldiers had the idea of underestimating the heroes of the Central Plains in their hearts.
As soon as he entered the pass, he killed the sky and the earth and robbed it. At least 300,000 Youyan people were forced to get out of the pass by.
But Liaodong is just a shortage of population. The fertile land is full of giant trees, rivers crisscrossing, and the soil is a black soil where seeds can be harvested.
In the jungle, countless wild beasts are waiting for the hunters; and the wild mountain ginseng, which is worth a thousand gold, is a natural treasure land.
On the earth, the people of Youyan were escorted out of seclusion step by step. Looking down from the sky, it was like animals migrating.
They did not divide the black soil, they could only be slaves, farming for the military generals who had occupied Liaodong.
Most of these people will be treated as spoils and distributed to every Liao general who has made contributions.
They were ragged and had numb expressions. If they were familiar with each other, they would walk together, which was somewhat more suitable for them.
Facing them is endless darkness. Youyan has been fighting hard for each other in recent years, but the Khitans have not gone south, but no matter which side, they will not abuse the people too much. After all, they are all native Youyan people.
But it is different when the Liaodong soldiers come. They are cold-blooded and ruthless, killing people at every turn, and treating human lives like grass.
Forced rape, robbery, set fire, and slaughtering the village can be said to have done all kinds of evil.
As the snowflakes flew, a river of frozen river quietly lies in front of me.
The spring flowers were already blooming in the pass, but I never expected that it would be frozen here for thousands of miles.
The people don’t wear much clothes, so many people are frozen to death and frostbite.
The corpse was thrown on the side of the road, and it became a carnival of wild animals at night, biting fresh human flesh and enjoying the gifts of human beings.
Some strong ones have been selected and organized into the soldiers and horses in Liaodong, responsible for some transportation tasks and are also used to manage other prisoners.
In the miserable sky, dark clouds piled up, and the sun was gone. The wind and snow were everywhere, howling like wild animals.
A corpse lying on the roadside, his clothes were stripped naked by his companions, and his eyes were fixed on the direction of his hometown in the south.
There are hundreds of thousands of people thinking about the same question. Do you still have the chance to come back and when will you return to the gate?
---
Yizhou, after nightfall, the grounded spring rainstorm finally stopped.
In the Liaodong military camp, five thousand light cavalry had already assembled, and everyone was wearing armor. All weapons, bows, arrows, and weapons were worn.
Because the light cavalry came out straight, even the cavalry auxiliary soldiers in the camp had never been led. At that time, the auxiliary soldiers could naturally be recruited in the military camp outside the city.
Although the five thousand light cavalry lined up in the wet east wind after the cold rain, everyone looked extremely excited. After fighting in Youyan for so long, a fierce battle finally came. Otherwise, when would they be able to enter Hejian Mansion and make a fuss in the legendary prosperous Kaifeng?
However, some people were a little confused. Why did this military order come so suddenly?
Could it be that the enemy fell from the sky? What are the cavalry and whistle detectives in the army doing? They have no preparations before the war, so they have to rush to the battlefield to fight.
However, the military orders are like mountains, and this hesitation can only be hidden in everyone's hearts, and they dare not say a word. Although the people and horses were trembling a little under the cold rain, the queue was silent, waiting for Wu Meng to lead the generals to arrive.
But they didn't know that Wu Meng was not in Yizhou at this moment, he had already arrived at the city of Youzhou.
These five thousand people are Zhang Zhengyuan's sword test stones, which are specially used to test how much combat power Zhang Zhengyuan and his men have.
To be honest, even if you throw these five thousand light cavalry here, Wu Meng would not feel sorry for him because they were Shiweiying.
There are various small battalions in the Liaodong army, composed of many conquered alien warriors outside the pass.
On weekdays, when there was nothing to do, Wu Meng would send them to Goryeo to rob, giving only a small number of people at a time, but asked them to attack the city.
First, we train troops, and second, we are to reduce the population of these young and middle-aged people of the foreign races and maintain our absolute rule over Liaodong.
Otherwise, if a large clan emerges in Liaodong, if he colludes with the Central Plains, it is likely to shake the rule of the Liaodong group.
After waiting for a while, when the weather had already passed and the second update was about to be up, I saw several clusters of wind-proof and rain-proof light balls leading the way. Lu Yong, the genital general of Shiwei Camp, looked as if he was ashen and rode a horse.
Lu Yong pulled the reins and came to the front of the formation first, glanced back and forth, then raised his breath and said, "This time, if you can't win, run away!"
This is what Wu Meng said to him. Of course, as Wu Meng's confidant, he could definitely escape.
However, Lu Yong obviously did not agree much. He felt that the Central Plains Imperial Guard had always been a fancy and could not help but fight.
At this moment, Zhang Zhengyuan's camp was dim.
Entering Youyan from Daming Mansion was a bold and dangerous move, and Chen Shou had actually given up Youyan.
Faced with Mongolia's accumulating momentum, he did not dare to take it lightly, nor did he dare to fight on both sides.
Letting himself fight Mongolia and Liaodong alone? Chen Shou didn't dare to think about it, but Zhang Zhengyuan came still.
In the head coach's tent, there was a light like a bean, and Zhang Zhengyuan looked at the map.
Years of battle have made his face, which is already mature than his peers, look even more vicissitudes.
On the map, the situation in Youyan looks not optimistic.
This is a piece of abandoned land of the Great Qi. In order to avoid the Khitan coming to make trouble when he crossed south to attack the Tang Dynasty, Taizu of Qi specially allowed the Yan people to separatist rule. If he lived a few more years, this place would definitely be included in the administrative system after he unified the south of the Yangtze River and set up officials instead of continuing to let the powerful.
Unfortunately, God was jealous of the talented people. Emperor Taizu of Qi died before he could succeed in his army.
Since then, emperors of all dynasties have not taken back Youyan's ability.
Zhang Zhengyuan looked at the map with a firm look in his eyes and muttered to himself: "The Marquis's decree is an unprecedented benevolent policy. It must be used throughout the world, and Youyan is no exception."
While he was looking at the map, someone lifted the curtain of the tent. A black-clad whistle came in and clasped his fists and said, "General, in the direction of Yizhou, a large number of enemy cavalry are attacking."
"Enemy cavalry?"
Zhang Zhengyuan was a little surprised, "Are you sure it's in Yizhou?"
"That's right! There are about five thousand people, all light cavalry."
Zhang Zhengyuan shook his head and said, "It makes no sense. If you want to attack the camp, it seems a little hasty. If you break the camp, why not set up a decisive battle during the day?"
"Beat the drum and gather together!"
Anyway, the enemy cavalry was in front, so there was no time to think about it at this time, so Zhang Zhengyuan immediately ordered the drum to beat.
The military camp suddenly lit up, and he would never dream of how rude the way the Liaodong people fought were.
These five thousand people were actually here to test his strength. All the light cavalrymen could not defeat them and could still escape...
