Chapter 535: Robbery on Order
Just as the Xianbei army and the Sun army were fighting to the death in Yanmen, Pingzhou had quietly sent out troops.
Qin Sheng led 400 Jintai troops, each carrying five catties of rations, and quietly set out at night.
These rations are the latest special military rations developed by Pingzhou. In fact, they are rice flour made from fried rice, with white sugar or brown sugar, which is very easy to eat and can quickly provide calories.
This time they are going to attack the Fuyu tribe bordering Liaodong County and the northern part of Xuantu County.
This time, Liu Ye led their Jintai army to take the lead. Anyway, they would quietly enter the village and go around to the back. At that time, they would attack from the front and back with the large army led by General Qin Heng.
For many soldiers, this was their first expedition, and they were all very excited.
…
Tuoba Khan looked at Yanmen Pass with a serious expression, and their warriors were attacking the city fearlessly.
Now that Yanmen was guarded by the Sun family army, it was more difficult to break than he expected.
It has been five days, and they, the Xianbei, have not been able to break through Yanmen.
Then, Tuoba Khan looked towards Pingzhou again. He originally predicted that Pingzhou could help him.
But it has been four or five days, and Pingzhou has not made any movement so far? What is Lu Songli doing? Such a good opportunity, can't she seize it?
Just then, Tuoba Khan saw his seventh son stumbling towards him with his uncle Akesi.
"Khan, it's bad, Pingzhou attacked the Fuyu tribe!"
Bang! Well, Tuoba Khan now understands why Pingzhou did not take the opportunity to attack the Sun family army, because they went to the Fuyu tribe.
Tuoba Khan ordered, "Sound the horn to withdraw the troops!"
Then, he returned to the king's tent and summoned his subordinates to discuss matters.
When the battle was in full swing, the Xianbei army suddenly sounded the horn to withdraw the troops, and the Xianbei warriors retreated like a tide.
The soldiers of the Sun family army defending the city were all confused. What was going on? They were fighting fiercely, and in a blink of an eye, the enemy retreated?
Even General Sun Ming couldn't help but climb the city wall and look far away.
The subordinates around him were all speculating.
"General, I think something must have happened to Xianbei."
"I think it's a big deal."
"Any news?" General Sun asked.
The subordinates shook their heads, "Not at the moment."
In the Xianbei King's tent
Upon learning that the Fuyu tribe was attacked, the members of the Xianbei royal court couldn't believe that the always cowardly Dali people dared to attack them, the Xianbei?
Moreover, "How could they lose so quickly? Didn't someone stay behind?"
When they went to war, they would not take all the young and strong people of the tribe away. They would definitely leave enough people to protect the women and children of the tribe and their cattle, sheep and other property.
"I don't know, I left people behind!"
The facts were right in front of us. Although it was shocking, it really happened.
"Father Khan, what should we do now?" Tuoba Lian was also anxious. The Fuyu tribe was his mother's tribe, and now it was wiped out by Pingzhou. He was really anxious.
The generals present discussed and discussed, and finally found that they could not do anything to Pingzhou. If Pingzhou was a soft persimmon, they would immediately send troops to attack Youzhou to force Pingzhou to withdraw. But obviously, this method did not work.
The chief of the Fuyu tribe cried and made a fuss to bring their Fuyu warriors back to help, "Khan, I want to take them back to save people!"
The basis for their willingness to fight and plunder Dali is that their hometown is safe and sound.
Now that their homes have been stolen, who has the heart to fight others outside.
"Akesi, calm down, don't be impatient." Someone advised him.
Akesi didn't buy it, "Now the whole Fuyu has been stolen, how can you ask me to calm down?"
"Akesi, your anger will not help."
The person who said this was also scolded by Akesi.
"You can stay calm because your tribe is fine! If it was your tribe that was being attacked, I think you would be more anxious than anyone else!"
The person being scolded was anxious, "Why are you like this?" How can you be so bad-mouthed? What if it comes true?
Akesi was really worried and anxious. He didn't bother to pay attention to other people and asked his brother-in-law directly, "Khan, can you send another army back with me?"
Tuoba Khan, who had been silent all the time, pointed out calmly, "The soldiers of Pingzhou are not those softies of Dali. If you withdraw your troops to support them at this time, they will be waiting for you to get tired and just wipe out your Fuyu tribe. By then, you will lose all the young and strong Fuyu people you brought with you."
"Then what should I do?"
"Part of Fuke has been occupied by the enemy. I know it's hard for you to accept, but it's a fact. For now, we can only work hard to conquer Yanmen and Daijun. After that, whether it's negotiation or anything else, we have bargaining chips in our hands."
At this time, Akesi also understood that what Tuoba Khan said was true, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Khan, the next attack will be led by the warriors of our Fuyu tribe!"
"Yes!"
After making a plan, the other generals present were also interested in chatting.
"Pingzhou is really treacherous and cunning. They are clearly waiting for us to get in before sending out troops." And they are still seeing that they are deep enough.
"I doubt whether this Sun family army is in the same group as Pingzhou. Look how well they cooperate in fighting."
At this time, all the men, women, and children of the Fuyu tribe were tied up and guarded.
"Those who dare to resist, regardless of gender, age, or status, will all be crippled!"
"Don't be soft-hearted, you little soldiers. Compared with the Xianbei barbarians who love to massacre the city, we are merciful enough."
After all the resistance was eliminated, Qin Sheng asked his men to lead the team and start scraping the land.
"Get rich, get rich."
"Take all these cattle and sheep back!"
"Put the food together and take it back!"
"Dried meat? Bring the sack and put it somewhere!"
"Put the gold, silver and jewelry in one place!"
"These felt bags? Open them and take them back."
"Fur blanket? Take it away!"
"What is this?"
"I know, this is dried cow dung, it should be used for heating."
"These people use dry cow dung to keep warm? What a luxury! Cow dung and sheep dung must be used to compost crops."
When the Fuyu people saw this scene, they were heartbroken. These crazy Han people would not even let go of cow excrement and sheep excrement!
They're not that ruthless when it comes to scraping the ground. I'm afraid these people weren't bandits before, right?
Finally, Zhou Da, Chen Jinlong and others looked at the piles of local supplies and laughed so hard that they could not see their eyes.
"No wonder the Xianbei barbarians like to go south to plunder. It turns out that robbing other people's things feels so good."
"It's as if you have never enjoyed the pleasure of robbing other people's things." Most of their Jintai army members were bandits, so robbery is a common thing.
"That's different."
In the past, robberies were committed against the wind. The more brutal you were, the faster you would die, so you were always on tenterhooks. They are now similar to robbing under orders. The bigger the robbery, the greater the reward.
Can this be the same?
