The Golden Age Chapter 74: Four-way soldiers and horses
After Chen Xi shouted, she turned her head around without delay, and led her cavalry away.
Liu Tuxie was sweating coldly on his forehead.
In Liu Tulu's eyes, Chen Xi's remarks were extremely sinister.
In order to contain the hearts of those devout believers, the Queen Mother will specifically divide the believers into red belts and black belts.
The treatment of the red belt is naturally much stronger than that of the black belt. Not only is the daily food and accommodation conditions that the black belt cannot match, even if it is equipped with weapons, the red belt is the first.
The Queen Mother will do this to make the believers aware of the strict hierarchy.
If a black belt wants to become a red belt, it must make a contribution. This is actually a way to motivate the black belt.
It's just going against the wish. The red belts enjoy the treatment that the black belts can't get, and it is inevitable that they will show arrogance in front of the black belts.
People at the bottom tend to have a little bit of status, and those with a lower status will be more trampled.
In the rebels, it is not uncommon for the black belt to be bullied by the red belt. In the heart of the black belt, there is a trace of fear and resentment towards these red belts.
Chen Xi's words came through, like a stone smashed into the water. Although the mountain was silent, everyone's heart was undergoing tremendous changes.
One head and one hundred taels, this kind of reward is of course extremely rich.
Although Jiangnan is a land of wealth, but the power of the clan here is extremely powerful, Jiangnan Qixing is only the strongest family clan in Jiangnan, under the seven surnames, there are more large and small gentry, the more silver, The more I like to buy houses and land, land mergers in Jiangnan are more rampant than elsewhere.
Many aristocratic families have large tracts of land, and they hire people to produce. In fact, there are not many people who really own their own land in Jiangnan. On the contrary, it is those remote areas that encourage people to produce, and people can really own it. Own self-cultivation land.
Because of this, the people in the south of the Yangtze River can save three or four taels of silver in a year, which is already frugal.
A head of one hundred taels, for the black belts of common people, one hundred taels of silver will need to be exhausted for 20 to 30 years. The princess is a huge reward for everyone. lure.
The red belts are even more frightened.
In this rebel army, the red belts account for only 30%, and the number of black belts far exceeds that of the red belts. Although the red belts have better equipment than the black belts, they really have to start. The red belts absolutely can’t stop it. A black belt with a dominant population.
They all know that the price of one hundred taels of silver per head will surely make many black belts eager to move.
So when the eyes of the red belt and the black belt touched, both sides had a cold back and hurriedly looked away.
The black belt was worried that the red belt would misunderstand that he was going to kill and receive the reward, but the red belt felt that the red belt was staring at his neck.
The two groups of people who were still mixed together tacitly pulled apart. The red belts were afraid that their heads would be taken off by the black belt, and the black belt was worried that the red belt suspected that they had wrong intentions. They will act first, and unknowingly, the black belts gather together, while the red belts go to the other side of the mountain at a distance.
Liu Tuqi only feels a headache.
Even when the morale is high, the other party will leave it here
It will also cause rifts within the rebel army, not to mention that the morale of the soldiers is low now, and no one can guarantee that the black belts will not be moved.
"Don't listen to them instigating discord." Although Liu Tuli knew that even if he explained, it might not have much effect, but he couldn't say aloud, "We are all believers in the Queen’s Club, living together. Death is a brother of flesh and blood. God will soon arrive with food and more reinforcements. At that time, the whole army will attack, and Shuning City will be vulnerable. Attack into the city, where the gold, silver, jewelry and women are all It belongs to you. The defenders in the city can't hold on now, so they came up with such a way, just to instigate separation, don't be fooled."
Everyone didn't say anything, but they didn't relax their guard against each other because of these words.
Liu Tuli seems to be calm, but in fact he is panicked.
A person with a red belt is worth a hundred taels of silver, so how much is the head of his star? In the black belt, is there someone staring at his neck?
He was nervous, and someone approached him and whispered softly: "Star general, there is a large group of people in the southeast, I don't know which one is it?"
Liu Tuzhang stunned, and hurried to the east of Funiu, looking for a very high location to the southeast. Under the sun, several long dragons appeared in the southeast, but the distance was too far. I can't see exactly what the situation is.
Liu Tuli immediately sent a few people to investigate.
After a while, several spies returned to the mountain and said excitedly: "Star general, our reinforcements are here."
"Reinforcement?"
"It's the soldiers and horses of the Queen Mother's Association." The spy said: "Fighting the banner of the Kei Leopard."
Liu Tuqi first showed joy, and his brows stretched out: "It's the Zuo army who has come for reinforcements." But instantly his face sank again, and he had already thought that Jing Muyan planted Dou Muqi to assassinate the left **** general. For this reason, the right **** general went to Suzhou City to explain in person.
Now that Zuo Jun came suddenly, Liu Tulu couldn't really guess what he wanted.
According to the truth, everyone is a member of the Queen Mother Association. The Zuo Jun came outside Shuning City and naturally came to reinforce it, but because of the death of the Right God General, there are great variables in this. The Left Army and the Right Army are now friends or foes, and even Liu Tulu can't tell for a while.
"They set up camp in the east of Shuning City, and they don't seem to be ready to attack the city right away." The spy said, "However, there are many horse-drawn vehicles in their team. They should have brought a lot of food. Star general, we... .We happen to have no food on hand, can we borrow some food from them?"
The right **** general sent Dou Muxie to Huqiu to borrow grain. This matter is naturally very secret. Not many people know about it. However, Dou Muxie assassinated the left **** general, in order to prevent the army from being shaken, Liu Tuxie naturally even more It will not be known to the soldiers and horses under his command, so in the eyes of his subordinates, even if the left and right armies have had suspicions, now facing a common enemy, everyone is the soldiers and horses of the Queen Mother's Association, and of course they are allies.
There is a shortage of food here, so it’s a matter of course to find a friend to borrow food.
It's just that Liu Tuli knew very well in his heart that Dou Muqi had not been able to borrow grain, and under the current circumstances, it was even more impossible for him to borrow a grain of grain from there.
I borrowed grain in the past, but I didn't borrow it, I was afraid that my head would stay there.
However, at this time, the Zuo army arrived. As long as the soldiers and horses were not allowed to know about the Dou Mu Ha incident, it would be good for everyone to believe that reinforcements arrived. It was of course beneficial to boost morale, but since the friendly army arrived, it was also necessary to send someone to borrow food. Lisuo
Of course, if you don’t send someone over, it will be even more suspicious.
He thought for a moment and called two of his confidants to ask them to borrow grain. Although he knew that the grain could not be borrowed, he still had to make a gesture.
The Queen Mother Zuo Jun came under the city, and was stationed less than fifteen miles northeast of Shuning City. The defenders on the top of the city could see clearly.
The arrival of the reinforcements of the Taihu Army boosted the morale of the defenders, but the reinforcements of the rebels also arrived so quickly, which made the hearts of the defenders lifted up again.
"The Queen Mother of Suzhou will have two **** generals. The soldiers and horses of the right **** generals were formerly besieged. They belonged to the Queen Mother Right Army." Standing at the head of the city, Chen Xi explained to Qin Xiao: "It should be the one who is here now The left **** general is under the queen mother Zuo army. However, as far as I know, the gap between these two so-called **** generals is not small, so there is also a contradiction between the two soldiers and horses. Before siege the city, the right army failed. The left army should have found the news, so they mobilized soldiers and horses to make a siege."
Before Chen Xi entered the city, he spent two days in the rebel formation. Naturally, he inquired about a lot of information and knew a lot about the Queen Mother rebels.
It’s just that he didn’t know that Yuwen Chengchao was lurking in the Zuojun and he became a star general of the Zuojun. He didn’t know that Yuwen Chengchao had already designed to get rid of the Zuo Shenjun, leaving the control of the Zuojun in the Ji. Water Leopard Wen Rengui's hands.
Qin Xiao watched the Zuo army camp outside the city, naturally thinking of Yu Wen Chengchao, and whispered softly: "This Zuo army should come from Huqiu."
"The east of Shuning County is indeed Huqiu County." Chen Xi nodded and said: "The left army should be assembled in Huqiu, and then marched westward under the city." frowning: "The right army suffered heavy losses and demoralized, and then attacked the city. The main force should be the left army."
Qin Xiao said with a faint smile: "The right army is huddled in Funiu Mountain, and there is the Taihu army on the Xixia Mountain. The right army is jealous and does not dare to act rashly. However, the Zuo army does not seem to have prepared a ladder for the time being. Can't attack the city...!" In my heart, I wondered if Yu Wen Chengchao was in the left army formation.
"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover." Chen Xi smiled disdainfully: "The Queen Mother's right army retreats with a feather, and the left army will not be much better than them." Then he smiled: "But this battle is interesting right now, on the opposite side. There are rebels on the Funiu Mountain, and the east of the city is also a rebel, but there is the Taihu Army on the west of the city, with four soldiers and horses guarding each side. I have never seen it before."
Qin Xiao looked towards the direction of Xixia Mountain, but he thought to himself that the King of Taihu wanted to lure Suzhou Camp to Shuning City. He was even confident that he would annihilate Suzhou Camp in Shuning County. But now Wang The mother Zuojun arrived. There were four to five thousand people in the formation, but she didn't know whether the arrival of the Queen Mother Zuojun would affect the Taihu King's plan.
When Qin Xiao looked at the Queen Mother Zuojun, Wen Rengui, who led the Zuojun, was also looking at the head of Shuning City.
"The Right Army is really a group of wine and rice bags." General Bi Yuewu star next to Wen Rengui looked at Shuning City, disdainfully said with a smile: "Thousands of people attacked a county town, I can't see the damage to the city. At this point, let this bunch of wine sacs and rice bags last for a year or a half, and Shuning City is also as stable as a rock."
Wen Rengui said indifferently: "Although friendly forces are wine and rice bags, the defenders in this city are not simple, and they did not cowardly open the city because of the large number of right soldiers."
"When shall we attack the city?" Bi Yuewu was eager to try.
"Without a siege weapon, rushing up is to die." Standing on the other side of Wen Rengui, Yuwen Chengchao calmly said: "Before siege the city, we must first build an aerial ladder, but the wood that can be used to make an aerial ladder is all nearby. On the side of Funiu Mountain, Bi Yuewu, do you think they will give us a ladder?"
