Village Girl Struggle - Chapter 164
The Hu people in the west invaded Da Zhao, and no one thought that the war would last for nearly two years!
At the beginning, the Hu people’s army pressed the border and besieged Dingxi City for half a month. It was King Ningyuan who led 60,000 soldiers and horses to help him. He fought the Hu people under the city of Dingxi. After less than half a month’s peace, the soldiers and horses made a comeback and clamored under Dingxi City.
Hu people use rogue guerrilla tactics, retreat when the situation is bad, and take advantage of the advantage.
As a result, the villages near Dingxi City were completely empty. Many border residents were either victimized by the Husbands or fled back to the mainland with their children and girls.
After repelling the Hu people’s invasions, King Ning Yuan gave memorials to the emperor several times. He said that his department had gone through great battles and suffered a lot of injuries and damages. Moreover, various materials such as food, weapons and horses were also very expensive. If the court did not give it Supply, I’m afraid it will be unsustainable.
The current emperor has fought against King Ning Yuan for many years. How could he be willing to give this old opponent blood and equipment? He was afraid that King Ning Yuan would be too powerful and would raise troops to seize the throne.
Naturally, he made a sacred decree, rewarded a few antique jade articles, and said a lot of praise, but it was all lip service.
King Ningyuan was loyal to the country and fought against the Huren. His achievements are in the future, but…
In the past few years, there have been disasters everywhere in Da Zhao, He Gong is in disrepair, and money is needed everywhere…
Look, the treasury is so empty that there is no more…
King Ning Yuan, the imperial brother, as a descendant of the royal family, how can you overcome it?
Grit your teeth, hold on?
Give the Hu people a cruel one, and beat them to the point of exhaustion, so naturally they don’t dare to commit the crime again.
King Ning Yuan really deserved to be the old opponent of the Five Princes.
If the emperor gave him something wrong, he dared to give him a cruel one.
King Ning Yuan fell ill after being “worried and sick” after being folded four times without receiving any supplies.
The Hu people tribe outside the Northwest Great Wall, as agreed upon, gathered tens of thousands of barbarians. Murderously encircled Dingxi City again.
Naturally, King Ning Yuan, who fell ill, couldn’t lead the rescue. This time Ding Xicheng had really reached the point of life and death.
During the siege of the city in March, the 20,000 defenders left only 10,000 after several **** battles, and there were thousands of wounded and disabled soldiers waiting to be treated and taken care of.
The food in the city is no longer enough to eat, and the civilians in the city can only eat one meal of gruel every day.
Even the soldiers defending the city are about to face the desperate situation of running out of food after two solar eclipses.
Before the emperor’s case came to the emperor’s case, the emperor thought that King Ningyuan would have to send troops to rescue Dingxi City even if he pretended to be sick. Unexpectedly, this time King Ning Yuan was determined to stand on the sidelines, and he really didn’t save Dingxi…
The emperor was in trouble this time.
When the Hu people captured Dingxi City, it was very likely that they would have left Ning Yuan next to him. Go straight east, the soldiers are under the capital!
There was a precedent for this kind of thing in the big business countries before the Da Zhao.
At that time, the national power of Dashang was declining, and the government was in disorder, so that the Huren regarded the invasion of Dashang as an autumn hunt.
Every spring, troops will be drawn eastward. Plunder the rich land of the big businessmen and return with a full load.
Sometimes, the empress dowager and the prince who were too late to escape were taken hostage, and they extorted countless wealth from Dashang.
But the ruling and the ruling party were all terrified at the legendary brutal and cruel Huren, and they were as afraid as they were in the Great Shang Dynasty. Let the Hu people kill them at their doorstep, and their lives will be disheartened.
The courtiers, who were like birds of fright, went to the emperor of the book and asked to agree to King Ning Yuan as soon as possible. Send food and payment to the border city to relieve the trouble of Xicheng and prevent the Hu people from invading the hinterland of Da Zhao.
The emperor wanted to delay for a while. Unexpectedly, a dozen or so old officials knelt outside the Jinluan Temple, begging the emperor to send out food and troops. In order to solve the difficulties in the northwest.
The emperor really had no choice this time, so he had to wave his royal brush. Painfully sent tens of thousands of stones, grains and grass, and tens of thousands of armors to his old rival brother.
In the end, of course, there was no profound idea. King Ning Yuan went out on the expedition with illness. The Hu people who had been frightened by the prestige of King Ning Yuan even sent a small group of people to try it out. After being annihilated, they led the army and fled…
In this way several times, King Ning Yuan grabbed a lot of food and armaments from the emperor.
But the emperor was not stupid, he felt a real pain in his heart, so he had to transfer his confidant General Cheng from the north to lead one hundred thousand troops and conquer the Humen tribes west.
Originally, this general Cheng had been garrisoned in the north, nominally to prevent the rebellious troops of the North Yong Kingdom from sneaking into the border city to disturb the border city.
Of course, it was the emperor who saw the mess in Beiyong. It seemed that he had a chance to mobilize his army to press down on the northern border.
But he was also worried that if General Cheng should take the opportunity and go to Beiyong to **** meat, the old rival Ning Yuan in the west will be dishonest. Only then can he suppress King Ning Yuan by giving a good marriage. If King Ning Yuan’s heart is against him If he wanted to, it happened that General Cheng led his troops to eliminate the internal worries in the west.
This is a very big and beautiful chess game…
But he was disturbed by the nonsense who appeared suddenly.
The most frightening thing is that it seems that King Ning Yuan’s combat effectiveness is far stronger than the emperor’s imagination!
General Cheng is young and strong, but he is in his forties.
He is the cousin of the Empress Dowager Cheng, and can be regarded as the emperor’s own cousin, an authentic **** royalist.
General Cheng led an army of 100,000 and drove from the north to the northwest frontier. As soon as he arrived at Dingxi City, he took over the defense of Dingxi. A hundred thousand army was in his hands, protecting Dingxi City like an iron city. …
As for those who make trouble?
I had already escaped after hearing the wind, hiding in the depths of the desert and grassland, shivering away… This was General Cheng’s brain supplement.
When it comes to fighting, General Cheng is also experienced.
When he was in his twenties, he was the leader of the mountain king who defeated the flag rebellion and suppressed the refugees’ rebellion during the disaster years.
When he wanted to come, the rank of his second-rank military commander was actually based on his military merits. Where are the uncivilized non-civilized men who are his opponents?
In addition to the war for more than half a year, even though the Huren is known as one hundred thousand, he has spent the past six months, but in fact he has been able to fight for only six to seven thousand, which is not worthy of his own well-equipped army.
As for King Ningyuan?
It’s just a useless royal family who is greedy for life and fear of death, and can’t shrink from it.
Want to send a new year, but can’t beat the current sage, was sent to this desolate west in a dingy manner.
Over the years, it has been exaggerated to say that he is the great hero who resisted the invasion of the West by the Husbands!
Really ridiculous!
General Cheng despised King Ning Yuan, and in March of Dingxi City, there was no Huren who dared to besiege the city.
At the moment, I feel that the emergency military situation in the past is just an exaggeration, and it is a means used by the local civil and military to ask the court for money and food.
Then put down the big talk. The Taoist royal masters are stationed, and there is no need to be afraid of the Hu people. Let the border people go back to the villages and live and work in peace and contentment. If the Hu people come again, their own master will give them a head-on attack.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the people really went back one after another, and many empty villages also had people.
The land has been planted, the house has been repaired, and I think I can live a peaceful life for a few years. Unexpectedly, the Hu people army came again.
This time, the Hu people seemed to be an army fearing General Cheng. They did not attack the city, but were harassing several towns and villages near Dingxi City. Robbery, murder and arson.
The generals under General Cheng were suffering. Hearing that there were Hu people, they immediately rushed to the army, and when they passed, the Hu people had already been burnt and killed almost. Got a ticket and ran away.
Today is this village, and tomorrow is that town. It is often in vain to send soldiers, and sometimes they will be taken aback by the Husbands, and it will be miserable and miserable.
This is simply a provocation to General Cheng’s Chi Guoguo!
It is tolerable. Which is unbearable!
General Cheng rushed into the crown with anger, and started shooting the case, igniting 80,000 soldiers. Go to the Huren’s lair.
Lao Tzu destroyed your nest and let you come out in trouble!
As long as the scourge of the Northwest Huren is eliminated, King Ningyuan? Humph, stay in the palace for the rest of your life, if not. That is also the fate of the first three princes.
General Cheng expected it beautifully, but the reality is cruel.
There are many desert grasslands on the northwest border. Going deep into the Huren territory, even with a guide, it is inevitable to get lost many times.
Every time you get lost, you will lose hundreds of soldiers.
Once lost, there will be no one in the desert, and the animals and birds will be extinct. The sand dunes are like ocean waves, with countless sand dunes floating in the boundless sand sea, stretching and undulating, so you can’t see the edge at a glance.
Occasionally, I can see something different, but just some hideous-shaped dead trees and scary bones.
In addition to getting lost, there were also attacks by wolves. Hundreds of hungry wolves followed the army for a few miles and followed the wind. When the night struck, nearly a thousand soldiers died under their fangs.
The most frightening thing is the sandstorm. The overwhelming black wind engulfed the raging sand, covering the sky and the sun. It can scratch blood when hitting the face. It is often walking and encountering a sandstorm. The soldiers huddled in groups and avoided. The sandstorm is easy to pass, and I shook off the sand and climbed out to see it. The horses were gone.
For a month like this, the Hu Ren’s shadow didn’t see half of it, but the Jokhang army lost 30%.
General Cheng’s original self-satisfaction had long since turned into full of frustration, and he had to order to return to Dingxi City.
On the contrary, when retreating, the Huren were like ghosts, harassing behind the army, and in this way they damaged thousands of soldiers who were postponed.
General Cheng, the emperor’s direct line, was frustrated, and the battle report was passed to the emperor. The emperor was frustrated, he calculated an account and lost his army. The Hu people were not less powerful, and his army’s clothing, food, shelter and transportation cost at least for Ning Yuan. Triple the king!
Money is still a trivial matter. The key is that General Cheng is the main force of Da Zhao’s elite soldiers, who can’t withstand such a toss!
He still wants to rely on this army to destroy Ning Yuan and go to Beiyong to make a bargain?
At this moment, it seemed that Ning Yuan would not be annihilated, but Beiyong would take advantage of it.
The emperor finally settled this account, and ordered General Cheng to divide his troops and garrison Dingxi, with 50,000 troops still to the north.
King Ning Yuan asked for money and food, but the emperor gave it to him through gritted teeth, but he also came up with an idea to control King Ning Yuan one or two.
The emperor decreed that because of the restless war in the northwest border, King Ningyuan contributed to the country, and his children, wives and children should be sent to the safe palace of the capital, so as to avoid the worries of King Ningyuan…
Therefore, the imperial concubine in the palace of Ningyuan brought all the concubines and children of the palace to Beijing on an order.
The Ningyuan Palace in the middle of Beijing finally had such masters for the first time.
