Chapter five hundred and sixteen.
If you were a good governor of a state in peacetime, you would be able to farm. Those who are good at attracting investment like Wang Hou have already performed well. However, in troubled times, this ability is not enough and you must be able to cause trouble, otherwise how could Liu Yu die?
Especially Wang Hou wanted to be more than just a state governor, he also wanted to be a great khan on the grassland! Looking at the heroes of the grasslands in history, Maodun, Tadun, Kebineng, Yelu Abaoji, Wanyan Aguda, and later generations of geniuses Genghis Khan, who could not take his younger brother out to fight.
Especially during this period, he made Yuwen Hong join the sect and show off his wealth with a high profile. He was a big show and caused a lot of excitement among the Wuhuan tribes. This is both a good thing and a bad thing.
The good thing is that it promotes the prestige of the Han people and attracts them, such as Hu people, to be more eager to be naturalized in the Han Empire, but the bad thing also arouses their desire to be longed for. If they do not give a path to promotion, they will easily rebel if they are dissatisfied. Then everything is better to follow the old system of the Han Empire.
Therefore, on the day of autumn, there must be a war!
I have to admit that although the nomadic people in the north have caused great harm to the Central Plains, being a great khan is really powerful! I got an order from Wang Hou and summoned the tribes. In two days, the Wuhuan, the three counties with only 40,000 to 50,000 people left, gathered 15,000 cavalry, plus the original Yuwen tribe cavalry, Heishan cavalry, Qingzhou cavalry, and cavalry alone, Wang Hou had more than 27,000 cavalry, and he was not so rich.
Moreover, it was not just the cavalry, but also marched northward. In two years, the seeds sown by Wang Hou also grew fruits and he took them all the way into the army.
The two newly built brigades in Liaodong, the first Liaodong Strengthening Brigade, and the second Jinzhou Strengthening Brigade basically grew. In addition, the four cavalry regiments were eliminated, and two 13,000 infantrymen were in control of the Wuhuan horse-producing land and also had war horses to transport and transport equipment. Even in terms of configuration, it almost reached the level of the main force corps during the Tang Dynasty.
In terms of reserve forces, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army provided 20,000 military infantrymen, and in addition, he recruited an additional 5,000 servants.
In the early days, in Lianjiao City, after defeating the Murong Xianbei, he thought that there were nomadic Han people. In the area near Jinzhou, Wang Hou had successively enfeoffed dozens of county men. These people did not support them to grow into aristocratic families in vain. For Wang Hou, the feudal lord, these people also had the obligation to provide military service. With one recruitment, five thousand militiamen were obtained.
Although these people's combat effectiveness is probably really average, they can fight miscellaneously and maintain the safety of the rear route, and their individual combat effectiveness is far greater than that of ordinary militia and bandits.
When Wang Hou arrived near Ma'anshan, his troops reached more than 80,000, and he had never been so rich!
With so many troops gathered, of course, it was not that Wang Hou had too much food and had no place to eat. The goal of this war was directly aimed at Wang Hou's last opponent in Liaodong, the Gongsun family's Xiangping City!
Although most of the Liaodong County was lost, the Gongsun family still had a lot of territory left. To the north, Xuantu County, including later generations, including Shenyang, Fushun, Liaoyang and Tieling, was the main channel for the ethnic minorities in the northeast to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty. It was also an area where Han people gathered in the four counties of Han and cultivated arable land was particularly developed.
Then there is Yingdong, Lelang County and Daifang County are all located on the Korean Peninsula, which is equivalent to the Beixinyue half area before Wang Hou traveled through. Later generations of Nanbang Kingdom also clamored for them in textbooks every day, believing that the entire universe belonged to them in ancient times, but they did not know that even their peninsula belonged to the Han Empire!
As before, the shameless Lord Wang didn't even say hello, and he just started to fight with a group of brothers.
…………
Although there are customs and lands in various places, the overall environment is similar in the agricultural era. The corn cultivated in Fengcheng County and the fields in Xuantu Fengcheng County are almost the same as those in Jinzhou City, and the process is being carried out.
On the threshing ground in the middle of the village, the cut ears of grain were spread on the ground, and groups of farmers were humming and waving and knocking on the pile of grains. As the vibration was shaken, the crystal clear little girl shook out of the ears of grain and landed on the flat ground with a layer of gold. For the farmers, it was as brilliant as gold.
But at this moment, bursts of rapid horse hooves suddenly sounded from the horizon. With the crackling and shocking sound, the black cavalry instantly emerged from the horizon where the light had been harvested. Waving a scimitar made of steel, it appeared ferociously in the eyes of the farmer Xuantu who was busy harvesting and reserves.
In an instant, the joy of autumn harvest was broken and broken, and the whole village was in chaos. However, it must be mentioned that the Han people in Fengcheng County were much stronger and tougher than the Han people in Jinzhou. The man roared and rushed up the wall with his hunting bow, while the women and children cried and shouted, holding the grain he had worked so hard to get back into the granary.
Unfortunately, all this was in vain. There were only three or four hundred villagers in the whole village, but there were thousands of cavalrymen attacking. Facing the chest wall that was only half a person tall, a burst of arrows shot over the sky. The weak resistance on the wall had been shot down. The strong cavalry on the grassland shook the ropes and threw them on the crooked wooden stakes beside the two gates, clamped the horse bench and tugged the horse's butt. The war horses creaked and pulled the door panel down. As the cavalry entered the castle like fish rushing out of the gap, they entered the fort.
With a telescope behind him watching the game, Wang Hou's expression was particularly solemn.
The Xianbei people have begun to equip straw rope stirrups. The stirrup technology has actually been invented by the grassland people first. Nomadic people and farming people have also begun to tilt slowly from the original Han Dynasty when the Five Barbarians began to tilt slowly. The technology needed by cavalrymen has decreased. Shepherds who live on the back of horses on the grassland are becoming more and more capable of fighting. When facing the grassland, the Central Plains are also becoming more and more dangerous.
So Wang Hou felt that he had this responsibility to solve the huge threat of the grassland on the eve of the sunset when the military power comparison was about to change drastically.
Just when Wang Hou felt his shoulders heavy, suddenly he was rushing into the village to control traffic roads and suddenly attacked. No wonder Jay Chou had to sing loudly to use nunchakus in his later generations. This thing was really useful! Suddenly, a series of flails were beaten out in the narrow alley. The war horse stood up in shock. With a shout, the cavalry on the horse was beaten down.
However, Wang Hou was not very distressed when he saw this scene, because the person who sent out to steal the village was to accept the Baron and the Wuhuan tribe on the grassland. He was not his soldiers, and he didn't have to compensate if he died or was injured. Seeing this guy grinning and covering his stomach, Wang Hou shook his head gloatingly.
"Unlucky guy!"
But it was really a retribution for the present life. After a few seconds of gloating, Wang Hou couldn't laugh! His smile froze on his face, his eyes were straight, and his mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted. He was so cold that the young soldier who had been beaten with a pair of snatches had his teeth dropped and finally stood up. The general of the Tangbei Zhen was furious and roared with grinning.
"Personal Guard, attack immediately! Please invite Master Cao back!!!"
Timo was fucked by her brother-in-law Cao Zhang again!
