24. Clear the periphery
In order to clear the periphery of Dashi City as soon as possible, Yang Hao issued a "limited contract order": the more than 20 small tribes scattered outside Dashi City were evenly divided into five groups according to their size and strength. In addition to the Yushe Camp and the Teaching Camp, one battalion was drawn and collected, and the cleaning was completed within a time limit. As for the means used, the income of property and population belonged to each battalion. Eight �

After ordering the battalions, they immediately became busy. Liu Pan led the front camp to take the lead in attacking and destroying the six mixed tribes scattered in the south of Dashi City. The so-called "mixed people" are tribes composed of a certain clan as the main trunk and mixed with other populations. In terms of the number of people, the number of people in the main tribe does not have an absolute advantage but only has a relative advantage.
The six mixed tribes in the south of Dashi City are mainly composed of Uighurs, mixed with Tang people, Uighurs, Khitans, Turks, Xi people, Shatu people, etc. Some tribes have very few Uighurs, not to mention that the absolute majority cannot account for even the relative majority, because within the sphere of influence of the Uighurs, due to the advantages of language, customs and religion, the Uighurs, even if their numbers and strength are weak, can still control the regime and exploit other tribes. Such tribes have poor cohesion and not strong combat power.
Wherever the front camp battle flag went, tribes of all sizes all demanded surrender. Out of extreme contempt, Liu Pan refused to accept their surrender, so the offensive and defensive war lasted for five days. After that, the tribes were not qualified to surrender again, and they had been completely conquered. As fish, what qualifications do you have to bargain with chopping boards and knives?
In this battle, the former battalion suffered 600 casualties, and they were all elite. Faced with doubts, Liu Pan retaliated and said, "Fuck me, I'll break my gun. You're so embarrassed to say that guys are born with a lowly man, and everyone is lewd. They are all fickle. Drinking with you today, you can make your rebellion tomorrow. It's easier to turn against you than to flip a book. Do you really want someone to stab you when you go to a girl? Don't forget that Dashi City is the one you want to go to. The city is piled up like a mountain, and the beautiful girls grab a lot of them. In order to win Dashi City and not leave any troubles, isn't it worth losing a few brothers?"
Everyone was speechless when they said the words. Liu Pan immediately announced: The brothers who died in battle would be buried with great funeral! In the future, the property they received was given priority to provide pension to the soldiers who died, so that their parents could have food and clothing, and that their wives and children would live with decent life. In the future, they would always be a prescribed rule.
On the way to Dashi City, Yang Hao heard the "standard" issued by Liu Pan, so he asked Zhang Bozhong to draft a pension order: to deepen, refine, and fix Liu Pan's "standard" after improvement, and promulgate the implementation of each battalion. Because of Liu Pan's creativity, Yang Hao did not pursue his fault of losing his troops and losing his generals because of his great success.
Compared with the front camp, the luck of the other battalions was much worse. The back camp led the three Xi tribes in the northwest of Dashi City. Five thousand cavalry were defeated by more than a thousand Xi people twice in a row. Shawn Qing felt that he had no face and had to go into battle himself. The Xi people immediately returned the color and left him with no face. A Xi cavalry raided the central army while the night was dark, killing him, running out of his tent naked, running naked, and then lying in the ditch to pretend to be dead before he escaped.
However, this crushing defeat inspired him. Shawn Qing played a trick of "fake death" with the Xi people. He announced that he was "unfortunately dead" in the battle between the 50 Xi people's warriors raiding the central military tent. Of course, the news of the head coach's "death in battle" must be strictly kept confidential. In order not to make Xi people suspicious, Shawn Qing used two actions to convey the message of "death in battle": First, after the Xi people's raid, the rear battalion did not carry out a retaliation operation, but stopped the flag and guarded the camp without leaving; Second, he sent a messenger to report to the headquarters: Shawn Qing, the commander of the rear battalion, was killed, and his troops were in danger, so he asked the commander to send personnel to preside over the military affairs of the rear battalion.
The messenger sent three, one of them tragically got into the pocket set by the Xi people and became the captive of the Xi people. The Xi people intercepted the letter, but were skeptical, so they tortured the messenger, which made him so hard that he was so trampled on his skin, but the messenger still kept silent - he was telling the truth, and the news that the main general died in battle was told by the deputy general in person before he left.
After analyzing it, the Xi people determined that Shawn Qing had indeed died in battle. They immediately made a decision: the Khitans are powerful and should not fight against it. It is better to take advantage of the death of the opponent's head coach and retreat into the city to seek asylum when there is no such thing as a group of dragons.
The Xi people did it as soon as they said that. On the night when they confirmed that Shawn Qing was "dead in battle", they set up camps and went to Dashi City. At first, they were very vigilant and sent elite cavalry to watch the quiet Houying Dashi Village like an ancient tomb. They waited until the large group of people was only seven or eight miles away from the city and the spire of Dashi City was far away in the morning light, they completely relaxed their vigilance.
The Xi cavalry who monitored the rear camp retreated and rushed to the forefront of the team. They wanted to give Dashicheng an impression: they were very powerful and useful, and accepting that they would enter the city would be beneficial to Dashicheng or more beneficial than disadvantages.
When there were still five miles away from the city, the situation suddenly changed. Three Khitan cavalry stepped on the wind and thunder and rushed out of the grassland that had not yet escaped the night, and instantly cut the slender migration team into three sections. The Xi tribe suddenly fell into great chaos. They were originally affiliated with three tribes, hatred, jealousy, and attacks and killing each other never stopped. It was a common disaster that temporarily put them together. Now the disaster is coming unexpectedly, and even if they are united together, they cannot compete. In critical moments, the selfishness in each person's heart is revealed: they do not obey the orders, and they run away from their own lives.
Except for the more than a thousand guards who could still fight, the remaining nearly 10,000 Xi people were just a group of lambs to be slaughtered.
The Xi people asked the defenders in the city for help, and the defenders responded: You must hold on, we will leave the city to meet you. We will not be able to speak well until the last Xi people who dared to resist were killed on the horse, and the iron gate of Dashi City was not opened.
The iron door will never be opened. The nobles of Dashi City are no longer satisfied with these disobedient Xi people. They are patient because of their daily business exchanges. At this moment, the war is imminent, and the city is surrounded has become an irreversible trend. It is more than 10,000 people who can only eat but are disobedient. It is difficult for anyone in charge to make this decision.
The Xi people were completely conquered, and more than 10,000 people knelt in the morning breeze and waited for the judgment of fate. For many elderly people, this kind of thing has been born more than once, and each time it has different tricks, and no one can tell what to give birth to. Shawn Qing's rear camp completely conquered three Xi tribes at a great cost, in order to vent his anger and to warn the defenders in the city. He ordered all the Xi people over fifty years old who were injured and unable to walk to be killed in the open space outside the north gate of Dashi City.
The cut-off head was inserted into a wooden stake and made public. The body was opened and the stomach was dragged out. The smell of blood was used to attract scavengers on the grassland: crows, vultures, and hyenas. Use their howlings when competing for food to create a horrifying atmosphere.
Compared to the Hou Battalion, the right camp of Dazhier won first and then defeated. The victory was gorgeous and the defeat was cowardly. When the siege of Dashicheng officially began, Dazhier and his right camp had to stay in the rear because they lost their combat capabilities. It was precisely because of their disastrous defeat that Yang Hao finally pushed the Yuzhao Camp to the front table, and he accidentally planted willows and became a shade. An invincible iron army that was dominant in the world emerged from then on.
The target of Dazhi'er's gang was six tribes with Shatuo people active on both sides of Niluochuan in the southwest of Dashi City. Dazhi'er first used his profit to bribe the Rage Yamen of the six tribes to act as his inside line, so he could conquer the three tribes on the east bank of Niluochuan without any effort. The Rage Yamen, who was bought by him, took the opportunity to cross the river and take refuge, and secretly contacted Dazhi'er to cross the river. After Dazhi'er crossed the Niluochuan, he immediately attacked the three tribes, including the Rage Yamen. The battle was very easy. One of them announced their surrender when they resisted a little, and the other almost actively sent personnel to surrender. Only the Rage Yamen pretended to behave and dealt with the Right Camp for a few days. After the play was done, he also announced his surrender.
Dazhier did not expect it to end so smoothly. In order to verify the loyalty of each department to him, he invited the leaders and elders of each department to gather in his central army camp to attend a banquet. While the messenger sent him, he was waiting for the troops. He immediately fought against any tribe who refused to accept the invitation.
To his surprise, except for Shuchuo, the other five divisions, the elders of the other five divisions arrived as promised, and each division had only twenty armored soldiers, looking as if they were sincerely accepting each division.
The absent Agami, Shuchuo, asked someone to bring a letter, claiming that he had an acute illness and was unable to attend the banquet, and begged the general to forgive him. He sent a thick gift with the letter.
This made Dazhier embarrassed. If other tribe leaders were absent, he would immediately fight for the troops. But Shuchuo, who made great contributions to him, was unrighteous to attack him, and it would be difficult for him not to attack him. So Dazhier, who thought he was smart, thought of a foolish trick: he would take the other five tribes to visit the sick Shuchuo in person with the angry teeth.
Someone from the Five Tribes immediately raised an opinion, saying that it was unlucky to visit the patient on a happy day, and it was better to visit him another day. Dazhi'er believed his nonsense and agreed with them the time for the visit.
On that day, Dazhi'er took his personal guards and brought gifts to the Angry Tooth Department to visit Shuchuo. His chief Duroon advised him to bring more people to prevent any change. Dazhi'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't you show that day I proposed to visit Shuchuo. Those people were just drinking and watching songs and dances, but they refused to go? It can be seen that they have different intentions. If they have different intentions, who dares to fight against me? Shuchuo betrayed his friends. Only by relying on me can he survive on the grassland in the future. How dare he betray me?"
Du Long said: "Shuchuo is from Shatuo. He is cunning by nature and must be guarded. Generals can bring more people and horses to strengthen our army and shock those hybrid tribes."
Dazhier was very happy to hear this, so he increased the number of escorts from 200 to 800. It was the extra 600 people who saved his life in the end.
It turned out that Shuchuo defected to him was fake. He had already colluded with the other five tribes, pretending to surrender, and took the opportunity to lure Dazhier, and cut off his head as a meeting gift to join Dashi City. Shuchuo and the leaders of the five tribes believed that the Khitans came here to plunder wealth and population. They came from afar and would not last long. Dashi City was the overlord of this grassland.
The Khitans could only save their lives, but they could not be plundered. Only by following Dingdashi City can they be both rich and wealthy. They believed that the tall walls of Dashi City were enough to protect them. The question now is what to use as a treatise.
Shuchuo said to them: "The three Xi people had no soldiers and were not in tune with each other, so they refused to accept them. Our strong soldiers and horses were enough to help them defend the city. As long as we prove our loyalty, they will definitely open the city to accept us."
He then explained: "Dazhier is the confidant general of the commander of the Wuhuai tribe. If you take his head, they will never doubt our loyalty."
The plan was decided, and Shuchuo pretended to cooperate with Dazhier and helped him conquer the various ministries. Although there were casualties and injuries, there were not many casualties, and the strength of the six ministries was preserved.
Shuchuo was a very smart man. Although he had only met Dazhier twice, he knew his character. He decided that Dazhier would not send troops to conquer him before he could not leave his illness. He also expected Dazhier to come to visit him with cleverness. He asked his friends to dissuade Dazhier from going there at that time, which would give him the illusion of disunity between the six ministries, confusing him and making him lose his vigilance.
If it weren't for Duro's reminder, Dazhi'er's life would have been lost.
If Shuchuo's younger brother had not been too hasty, Dazhi'er would have lost his life.
