Chapter 30 Tiger Vision (4)
The horse ran for a while, far away from the places where the riots fought fiercely... Looking back, I don't know who lit a few fires in the town, and the thick black smoke pillars leaped and rolled, like a hideous giant beast, completely swallowing the once peaceful villages and towns.
"Don't delay, leave quickly!" Wang De shouted to several subordinates who were squeezing the fire. Among the injured sage warriors, several mildly injured had been bandaged. He quickly urged the horse to walk in front. A seriously injured person was injured in the waist and abdomen and could not sit up straight. He could only be supported by his companions to ride a horse together. As a result, he fell behind after not long after walking, dragging the speed of the entire team.
Wang De was the leader of the tent, and was not familiar with the troops under the command of King Donghai. He could not tell who the scattered soldiers and brave men who were running around the mountains and fields should belong to, and he did not know how to deal with it. These soldiers were as cowardly as chickens when facing the Jie thieves, but were the most brave when looting the people. Wherever they went, they destroyed the territory that the King Donghai shogunate could still control; if anyone provoked them, they would immediately stumble around like a group of hornets. Thinking that the soldiers who had just killed and dispersed were likely to call their friends to come and take revenge, Wang De was so anxious that he could not control himself.
In the autumn of the first year of Guangxi, the county lord Jingling was in danger in the Taihang Mountains. This incident scared King Donghai very much, and he did not allow the county lord to go out at will for a whole year. Although the military and political situation became increasingly complicated, King Donghai had to bother his Yingrui's daughter to run around, but he personally arranged to double the number of knights of the county lord. Even so, he could not help but act recklessly!
Wang De watched the situation around him vigilantly, complaining in his heart. He was different from the county lord. After all, the common people have been bullied over the years, so he doesn't take it seriously after seeing it. He vaguely felt that it was not worth it for the brothers who had just died in battle, but it was difficult to ask the county lord.
Wang De squeezed his legs and quickly caught up with the county lord who was walking at the front of the team. Because the road was dim at night, Wang De was worried that he would miss the hoof and the county lord would lose his hoof, so he pulled the horse closer and led the reins of the horse under the seat of the county lord.
The county lord was muttering to himself about something, but his face was very bad. After walking for a while, she sneered: "If you win a battle, you need to be rewarded, you need to be promoted and made a fortune, and if you lose a battle, you will be like this? Who brought out such a scumbag? Well? With such an army, can you deal with the Hu people?"
Wang De knew that this was just a complaint from the county lord and he didn't need his answer; so he just followed silently and sighed after a long time.
The county lord has a strong personality and very good means. He played a huge role in the rise of King Kong. He is really a strange woman. But no matter how smart and capable she is, she can't fight in person. Seeing that the overlord who has been painstakingly managed is shaking due to the unfavorable war, the county lord's anger can be imagined.
The problem is, the army of the East China Sea is like this, and there is another army of all the corpses in the world. Even after winning the battle, the ones who receive the reward will be the officers and generals who lead the troops. What does this have to do with the soldiers at the bottom? Since the founding of this dynasty, the status of the soldiers in the army has been as low as dogs and has been driven and forced. Therefore, once they are defeated and escaped from the layers of officers, the rage and frenzy that have been suppressed for a long time will erupt like a volcano and turn into huge destructive power.
As for whether such an army can fight against the Hu people... it is natural that it is not possible. The Huns and Han countries went south all the time and killed them like chopping melons and vegetables; and it is this generation who was surrounded by Jie thieves and transformed from an official army into a bandit in a moment.
"Wang De, what do you think Wang Bin's ability to use troops to manage the army is better than the rest of the generals under his father's command?" After a while, the county magistrate suddenly asked.
Recently, Wang Bin, as the representative of the King of Donghai, led elite soldiers to station in Luoyang. After imprisoning the King of Qinghe in Jinyong City and controlling the emperor's supporters in the court, his troops had completely overwhelmed the palace guards and took over the internal and external military preparations of the imperial capital.
Wang Bin is a powerful general under the command of King Donghai. This lord is not a purely warrior. He once served as a general of the North Central Army. He overwhelmed many colleagues by fame. Although he had the experience of relying on the King of Chengdu, he was able to win the trust of King Donghai. It was a rare anomaly among countless senior officials and generals who were dissatisfied with the results of the bandit suppression. At the end of last year, the shogunate was dissatisfied with Ding Shao's victory in the suppression of bandits, and even deliberately used Wang Bin to replace Ding Shao as the governor of Jizhou, which caused a headache for Ding Shao. But in the eyes of men like Wang De, Wang Bin was not a warrior at all, but was just a politician wearing armor.
Wang De thought for a while and replied carefully: "Wang Sima is both loyal and has vision. However, his subordinates are short-sighted and unfamiliar with the experience of Wang Sima leading the army to fight."
"That's not as good as Qian Duan, Wang Zan and others." The county lord Jingling said Wang De's thoughts bluntly. She shook her head: "Qian Duan, Wang Zan's two generals, had 100,000 people, were killed by the Jie thief and threw away their armor. It can be said that they were useless in use; the defeated soldiers also disturbed the place. As for this, they could be said that they were incompetent in managing the troops... They were really mediocre generals. Hehe, if Wang Bin was not as good as them, how could he defend Luoyang?"
"Luoyang still has the forces of generals such as Zhu Dan, Cao Chao, Shi Rong, etc., and Hongnong Prefect Yuan Yan is also a former general. With them here, Hu Er must not succeed easily."
"These people are not enough!" The county magistrate said firmly: "After arriving in Luoyang, you must immediately order the local vassal states to serve the king. Otherwise, Luoyang will not be able to save it by relying on those incompetent people!"
Wang De suddenly understood the county lord's meaning, and he said seriously: "Yes! What Pei Langjun said is extremely reasonable! It should be like this!"
The county lord nodded with satisfaction and quickly moved forward.
The group rode the harem of Dayuan, which was traveling thousands of miles a day, and approached the sour jujube at noon the next day. But as expected, there were already Jie thieves here, and the scholars and the people were shocked overnight. Therefore, everyone returned to Yanjin, detained a ferry from the local officials, and passed Jijun and Hanoijun, and planned to cross Mengjin and arrive in Luoyang.
Hanoi County had fallen into the hands of the Han Dynasty of the Huns in the first year of Guangxi. The Zuoxian King Liu He used the army of Shangdang to surprise attack on the Xiongnu Yewang camp. After the defeat in Jinyang, the power of the Huns retreated to the north of the Zhuguan Pass, and the court then took charge of the prefect of the Henei with General Cao Wu, the general of Anbei, and led more than 10,000 people to defend it.
The three counties of Hanoi, Hedong and Pingyang are the protruding parts north of the river in Sizhou, and are the front line for directly facing the military threat of the Huns. The prefect of Hanoi Cao Wu, the prefect of Pingyang Song Diao, and the prefect of Hedong Lu Shu echoed each other and watched over and helped each other. However, this time the Huns' army advanced south and defeated Song Diao with a destructive force. Lu Shu's troops had already rushed directly to the mountains in the northwest of Hanoi.
The county lord and others were getting closer to the Yewang, and they encountered more and more fleeing people along the way. When they approached Guomen, the crowds on the official road were bustling. Looking around, they were filled with dark heads; what was poured into their ears were full of crowds of voices. According to the accent, most of these people were local residents of Hanoi County. Obviously, they still remembered the cruel and violent behavior of the Huns last year, and no one was confident in the combat ability of the imperial soldiers. In early summer, the weather was already hot, but when everyone looked at the scene of the people running away in despair, they couldn't help but feel desolate.
Although the people tried their best to avoid the county lord and his team of cavalry, the official road was crowded and crowded, so they could not help but delay the speed of the group's travel. The entourage who was leading the way backed with a horse and asked Wang De for instructions: "There are too many people in front, and the direction is against us, so it's too difficult to leave. Otherwise, I will take ten people to drive them forward and drive them to both sides!"
Before Wang De could reply, the county magistrate interrupted and asked, "Is this only road easier to walk?"
The entourage said blankly: "The only official road to the Ye King..."
"What about going to Wen County? If we don't enter Yewang, we will go directly to Wen County and cross Mengjin! Is there any other way?" the county lord shouted loudly.
"Yes! Yes!" The entourage was startled and agreed repeatedly. The group immediately came down from the official road and walked across the wilderness to another road.
"The troops stationed in all parts of the Central Plains are weak, and the Huns are already like this before they arrive! Look, the official road is close to the edge, and there is not even a soldier to collect the troops!" The county lord urged the horse and sneered: "As soon as he arrives in Luoyang, he will issue a certificate of support for the king!"

Recently, a reader asked about the update. Let’s kneel down here to respond:
Crabs were transferred to positions in the middle of the year, and the new unit was officially opened recently. It was very busy and could hardly write during the day. Looking at the update time of recent chapters, you can see that I almost posted it at 1,200 or 3 o'clock in the middle of the night. In addition, the number of updates has decreased, but the number of words in each chapter has increased. I have tried my best to do it to achieve this. Unfortunately, this situation was angrily scolded by the editor a few days ago, and I was asked to increase the update frequency. For this reason, the number of words in recent chapters is often less than 3,000. This is a little lower than the pressure of typing every day, and the number of words that are not charged is also considered a compensation for readers.
Until now, this book has been written for less than 400 yuan, and the economic benefits are almost nothing. Fortunately, crabs have always been typing based on their interests. The paid author is the parents of food and clothing, and the young customers are serving them politely. Readers who do not pay should be tolerant to me. They are really limited in their ability, and I really can't do some things. Even if someone rewards 100,000 yuan for 100,000 yuan for 100,000 yuan for 100,000 yuan for 100,000 yuan... Well, that's another matter.
It's probably that. At least I will guarantee a serious writing attitude and never be a eunuch.
Chapter completed!
