Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 982

   Chapter 982 Pustule General

   In March of the fifth year of Yuanzhao, all things germinate.

The cold in the north also slowly began to dissipate, and tender grasses began to sprout on the grasslands. The herdsmen in the Xianbei tribe stayed up all winter, and finally came out of the tribe to herd horses and sheep. However, after a winter of consumption, Yuwen The food of all the tribes was consumed seven to seventy-eight, and even the food of Yuwenzhao King’s tent was almost exhausted. Yuwenzhao gave orders to the other tribes, and soon the 70,000 cavalry they had promised before were all gathered there. near the king’s tent.

Yuwenzhao’s king tent has 50,000 people, a total of 120,000 cavalrymen, basically each person has a horse, plus logistics and horse supplies, a total of more than 200,000 war horses, heading towards Jizhou in a mighty manner. direction to go.

The Central Plains Dynasty suffered from no horse farm, and the place where horses could be grazing was too far from the center, and there was always a shortage of war horses, but this problem was not a problem in the north. It may not be easy to get 200,000 strong horses, but it is not easy to get 200,000 horses.

These cavalry are very different from the cavalry of the Central Plains Dynasty. The Central Plains Dynasty, whether it is cavalry or infantry, mostly bear armor, but the cavalry of these nomads are almost all light cavalry. As leather armor, and then there is a quiver on the back, a scimitar across the waist, and the main focus on the frontal battlefield is riding and shooting guerrillas. These people grew up on horseback, and sometimes began to hunt on horseback at the age of seven or eight, even if It is a 13 or 14-year-old baby, and his horsemanship and archery skills are better than those of the cavalry of the Jin Dynasty.

   You must know that when Li Xin entered Yulinwei, there were very few people in Yulinwei who could ride horses. Li Xin still learned to ride on the way to the southwest, and suffered a lot.

After the    team was assembled, Yu Wenzhao gathered all the generals in his royal tent.

   Yu Wenzhao’s words are simple.

   “We’ve run out of food.”

With a calm expression, he said, “All winter, everyone eats the grains from previous years. The male animals of each division have been slaughtered, and the females have also been slaughtered by 20 to 30%, and the slaughter cannot go on. If we don’t do something, we will Someone will starve to death.”

   “If you don’t go to the gate to grab things, the people who starve to death will be your family members.”

Heavenly King Yuwen took a deep breath and said, “The order goes on, this time I will go to Jimen Pass, first to loot near Jimen Pass, and second, to find a way to break Jimen Pass, as long as you enter the pass , we can bring back enough food for ten years and countless wealth.”

   Having said this, Yuwenzhao paused and said solemnly: “You only need to hand in half of the things that you got back this time, and the rest will be yours.”

   This sentence is the key point. As soon as this sentence was uttered, the group of people in the big tent breathed a lot more heavily.

   “Okay, it’s useless to talk nonsense, the ration is only enough for a month, if you can’t grab anything for a month, you deserve to starve to death!”

   “Let’s go!”

   Several generals saluted Yuwenzhao with their shoulders.

“Yes!”

   Hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen, and tens of thousands of Han Chinese outside Guan who were forcibly recruited by the Yuwen Department, headed for Jimen Pass in a mighty manner.

   At this time, in Jizhou City, a middle-aged man dressed in purple shook his head helplessly, facing the pile of military affairs in front of him.

His name is Ji Yong, and he is the heir of the Duke of Yue’s mansion. In terms of generation, he is the uncle of today’s son. When the Duke of Yue was young, he was also a general who led troops. He helped the court to suppress many bandits. He was very famous in China, but the Duke of Yue was too old to lead the army, so the emperor had no choice but to take the bow and appoint the prince of the Duke of Yue as the general of Zhenbei.

Before he came, the Son of Heaven had already told him that as long as the Jimen Pass could be held within three years, the title of the Duke of Yue State would no longer be downgraded. Jizhou has made great achievements, and also won a hereditary and irreplaceable Duke of the country.

   A reward of this level is undoubtedly very rich, so rich that his father, the Yue Guogong who was already a little confused, pushed him to Jizhou abruptly, and he couldn’t even think about it.

When he came, he was very ostentatious. A full 500 Yulin guards escorted him personally. After arriving in Jizhou, he only went to Zhenbei army camp to visit two or three times, and then he received a letter from the emperor. Tell him that if something happens, try to listen to the advice of the general of the Zhenbei Army, and don’t make decisions on your own.

In fact, Ji Yong is not a fool. He knows very well that although he is the general of Zhenbei, there are not many people in the Zhenbei Army who can really listen to him. Just hide in Jizhou City, and hide for a few months.

But after hiding for a few months, he finally couldn’t hide. Wang Dun, the deputy general of the Zhenbei Army, took the two central guards of the Zhenbei Army, and today suddenly sent the military affairs of the Zhenbei Army to his house in Jizhou. Inside, the prince of the Yue Kingdom was a little dumbfounded when he saw these military affairs.

He sat on the chair and turned around, then looked up at Wang Dun, and said with a wry smile: “General Wang, I have already said before I came to Zhenbei Army, what the Zhenbei Army was like before, what it will be in the future, what is there? You can handle the matter yourself, I just came here to put a name on it, and I can’t control it.”

Wang Dun is in his fifties this year. He has followed Ye Ming all his life and Ye Mao for several years. The old general Ye Ming passed away, and the major general returned to Beijing to pay his respects and never return. These Zhenbei Army veterans have some feelings in their hearts. Angry, but Ji Yong has been very honest since he came to Jizhou, and it is not easy for them to turn against the Ji family.

Therefore, Wang Dun lowered his head and folded his fists, and said solemnly, “General Ji, this is the information that our army’s spies have found these days. The Yuwen Department in the north has changed a lot these days, and a large number of cavalry are gathering. I believe They will make a big move soon, please ask General Ji to send a letter to the court for help as soon as possible, and also suggest Yunzhou City to report the military situation to the Yunzhou army.”

   “Every beacon in the vicinity of Jizhou may have to send additional staff, and the supplies for the defense of Jimen Pass will have to be replenished. In addition, it must be reported to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War will immediately **** the war preparations here!”

“Then…”

Wang Dun said more than a dozen questions in one breath, most of which were things that need to be prepared during the war. After listening to these, Ji Yong was a little confused for a while, he smiled wryly, and said, “General Wang, these things should be Just do what you do, you don’t have to come and ask me…”

  Wang Dun’s face turned a little red at this remark. He lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: “There are some things that only General Ji has the right to do, such as contacting Yunzhou City and writing to the imperial court, and General Ji’s signature is required.”

   “Especially the connection with the imperial court must be written by General Ji himself.”

Having said this, he paused and said angrily: “After General Ye returned to the capital, he couldn’t even get out of the capital. Most of the words we said were not trusted by the imperial court. Only you, General Ji, can write from the imperial court. to get something.”

Ji Yong looked down at the documents handed over by Wang Dun and the others, and then frowned slightly: “Jimenguan has not had any major problems for more than 40 years, and suddenly asking for so many supplies from the imperial court, will it be a little uncomfortable? Suitable…”

   Wang Dun glared angrily.

   “General Ji means that I lied about the military situation?”

   He said angrily: “Xianbei has assembled at least 100,000 people, and it is only a few hundred miles away from Jimen Pass!”

   “Do you want to take General Ji to take a look outside the gate in person, and see what the Xianbei people look like!?”

  The Prince of Yue Kingdom was startled and smiled bitterly.

   “General Wang, don’t get excited, I’ll write, I’ll just write…”
