Chapter 128: Together Management (14)

Because the basic list of Guyuan City was found and converted into Chinese characters, the work of identifying ethnic components in Guyuan City went smoothly. In one day, a relatively rough appraisal work was completed. Among the 6,104 households in the city, there were 1,157 people from the Central Plains, and 4,690 people from the total population of 20,471 people.

For decades, the people of the Central Plains have always been in an unsatisfied position in Guyuan City. This time, the Great Zhou army from the Central Plains finally drove away the Tubo people, Uighurs and Hu people, and the people of the Central Plains can finally turn over and become masters. After the registration of ethnic components, the Central Plains people in Guyuan City are all excited and proud, walking with great pace, and dare to walk to the middle of the road. Although the Uighurs and Tubo people are disliked by these Central Plains people, because they have coalition forces as the backing of the Central Plains people in the city, the Uighurs and Tubos dare not take the initiative to provoke trouble.

However, the people of Central Plains in Guyuan City did not last long, and the notice posted in the city made them all stunned. Although the notice portrayed Tongxin City as a paradise on earth, the scolding and crying of Central Plains people in the city still resounded throughout the city like a hornet's nest. The people of Central Plains in the city had seen the ruthlessness of the coalition forces killing the Dangxiang people in the city. Although they were unwilling to do so, they quickly packed up the valuable property in their homes according to the requirements of the coalition forces.

After the migration notice was posted, Shi Hu went out for a walk. After hearing the crying sounds all over the city, he felt unbearable. However, the military order was like a mountain, and he could not change it. He was not upset. Shi Hu was unwilling to go out again and asked Hu Li to implement the specific matters of the migration. He took a break from his busy schedule and read the abbot of Dade Temple who sent the Diamond Sutra. The monk Kojima of Dade Temple followed Shi Hu and discussed the contents of the Diamond Sutra with Shi Hu at any time.

Kongjian's Buddhist teachings were very ordinary, but he was the young monk with the best martial arts skills in Dade Temple. Therefore, the important task of preaching for a border general like Shi Hu was unshirkable to Kongjian. Kongjian was half-hearted about preaching, but he was very interested in the martial arts of the Black Eagle Army's personal guards. He saw Shi Hu practicing martial arts many times, and Shi Hu's tricks were extremely simple, but he kept slashing hard, which made Kongjian look down on Shi Hu, who had mastered the "Seventy-Two Styles of Mad Swords", and his personal guard's martial arts were not known to Shi Hu, and he was not in Kongjian's eyes.

Shihudi martial arts can also be considered a master in the Black Eagle Army. After years of war training, he gradually accepted Hou Dayong's view that for the chaotic battlefield where swords and swords are bloody, speed and strength are better than any fancy moves.

Kongjian was only about twenty years old and had to spit out his energy at any time. The next day after he arrived in Guyuan City, when Shi Hu and his personal guards were practicing in the morning, Kongjian couldn't help but take his round-handled steel knife. He danced in the field with a beautiful flower group, and he was quite as handsome as a martial arts master, attracting the attention of Shi Hu and his personal guards.

After practicing the 72-style Crazy Knife in Dade Temple, Kongjian looked at Shi Hu with confidence. Kongjian has lived in Dade Temple since he can remember. He grew up with the Buddha statue, scriptures and the old round-handled steel knife, and basically has no understanding of the secular world. His young competitive spirit has not diminished due to Buddhism. When he saw Shi Hu and others, he stopped to see him dance the sword. Kongjian said, "The sword technique I practice is called the 72-style Crazy Crazy, which is very famous in the world. It is the sword technique of the Dade Temple Town Court. I also know a set of 36-style Crazy Crazy Sword. This is the sword technique that monks in Dade Temple must learn to get started with, and it is also the sword technique for strengthening the body of Dade Temple. It can be passed on from outside. These personal guards’ martial arts are not good, so I will pass on this set of cloak sword technique to these personal guards."

Shi Hu saw the sound of being honest and cute. He smiled and said, "The battlefield is different from the martial arts world. Most of the battles are fighting alone, and the most amazing thing is group fights. However, the battlefield is where thousands of people are arranged in formations to fight, people are tied to each other, and horses rely on horses. It is not beneficial to have complex tricks. High strength and fast speed are not afraid of death. This is the only trick to fight on the battlefield."

Kong Jian was not convinced, so he said, "I can't see. He is very skilled in martial arts. Although he can't say that he can take the general's head from the army to take advantage of the general's head, if he can take advantage of the enemy, he will be invincible by blocking ten people with one hand."

When the guards heard Koji brag like this, they all showed a mocking look. Although Koji had good martial arts skills, they were just good. These guards were all veterans who crawled out of the dead. They were the best among the Black Eagle Army and were very solid. Although Koji danced well, they were not as good as ordinary martial arts competitions on the battlefield. They had no moves, but they had to see blood with one sword. What's the use of dancing beautifully?

The personal guard Duan Erlang said unconvincedly: "Seeing Master Kong's tone, I'll ask you a few tricks."

Kongjian looked at the strong guard and said truthfully, "You are probably not my opponent."

Duan Erlang was also a very angry young man and said, "Whoever wins and loses, can only see the truth under his command."

Shi Hu's vision is much more sophisticated than the personal guards. This Koji monk has a deep skill. Although the personal guards are all guys who kill people but don't see blood, they have little chance of winning against Koji one-on-one. He said to Koji: "Master Koji is very skilled in martial arts. These personal guards are all ordinary soldiers. I'll find four personal guards to come over and give them some advice."

Shi Hu said to a personal guard: "Duan Erlang, you bring three personal guards to wear full armor, use shields and wooden knives for training, and ask Master Kongjian for advice." He also said to Kongjian: "According to the training rules of the Black Eagle Army, try to get close to the actual combat, and wear armor and wooden knives."

Kong Jian said proudly: "Okay, I never use a shield or an armor, just use a wooden knife. Don't worry, I will stop at the right time."

Koji often fights with his brothers in the temple and has the experience of fighting with less and more. Therefore, he is very sure of one-on-four hearts. However, as soon as he fights with the Black Eagle Army soldiers, he feels pressure. These guards who are usually kind-hearted, put on armor, lift their shields and raise their wooden swords, and immediately become vicious.

The four personal guards had extremely rich combat experience. They knew that those who had fewer attacks had two fears, one was afraid that the enemy would attack each other and fight in close combat, and the other was afraid that the enemy would attack the siege at the same time. Therefore, the personal guards stood at one position in the east, west, south and north, surrounded Kongjian on all sides, held their shields in front of their chests, half holding a wooden knife, and slowly approached Kongjian.

Kongjian used his virtual move to test it a few times. The guards stared at Kongjian tightly, ignoring his fake moves, but only used a shield to protect his body. He slowly and firmly closed the encirclement. Kongjian no longer hesitated and used a move in the cloak sword technique to "megatron the four sides", drew a large line, and attacked the four guards.

When the four guards saw Kong saw the wooden sword move, they didn't care about his moves. They took half a step up and four wooden swords slashed from four directions. The four swords did not leave any backs, and they were all fighting with one sword on the battlefield. Hearing a few "bang, snap" sounds, Kongjian's wooden sword slashed hard on the shield of the guards in the east. The guard felt a powerful force coming, and the shield almost lost his hand. His body shook violently, and the wooden sword also deviated from the direction. The other three guards' wooden swords slashed without any wavering. Kongjian's move "shocked all directions" had many beautiful backs, but the guards couldn't understand these backs at all. They just tried their best to cut down the wooden swords.

As a result, the battle knife was revealed within one move. Koji used "Shocking the World" to cut off a guard and blocked two wooden knives, but was cut on the back by a wooden knives from the west.

The guards succeeded in one move, but did not disperse. They still surrounded the surroundings. Seeing Kongji squatting on the ground and breathing in, the wooden knife was wrapped with a layer of cloth. Although it would not cause any damage to the earth when chopped up, it would inevitably hurt.

Shi Hu shouted, "Stop." The four personal guards dispersed. Shi Hu walked to Kongjian and said, "If it were on the battlefield, you were already dead."

Upon hearing this, Kongjian held the pain and stretched his waist straight. At this time, the huge pain on his back had not subsided, but Kongjian's bravery had been aroused. He tore off his clothes, exposed his strong and strong body, and a red mark on his back. Kongjian said, "This time it won't count, I will hit you again."

Shi Hu smiled and said, "The result is the same as this time." Kongjian was very stubborn and said, "I have been practicing hard for more than ten years. If I don't believe it, even a few soldiers will not win." Shi Hu said to Duan Erlang, "Don't hit the vital points." Kongjian was underestimated and said angrily: "You don't need to give in to me, this is an insult to me."

The second battle still determined the outcome. This time, Kongjian used a move to "Jingkong Pili" to cut a guard's shield to the ground, blocking the slashing move from scratch. At the same time, when changing his move, he also hit another guard's shoulder. The guard who was cut on the shoulder was wearing armor. The wooden knife did not cause any damage to him. He abides by the training rules and jumped out of the battle circle after being hit by the knife. Erlang from the east of Kongjian was very cunning. This time he changed to a stab. While Kongjian was hitting the guard, he stabbed Kokumi's belly with the tip.

Kongjian was not wearing armor. Although Duan Erlang had stopped his strength, the tip of the wooden knife still pierced the skin on Kongjian's stomach, and a small amount of blood flowed out. Kongjian looked at the blood on his stomach blankly, threw the wooden knife to the ground, stood in the middle of the yard in despair, and said disheartenedly: "When the Tubo people invaded Jiezhou, I scolded the incompetence of the government army. Hundreds of Tubo people defeated nearly two thousand ranks of the state defenders. Who knew that I was the real frog in the well, which was ridiculous." After saying that, he raised his hand on his forehead and said to Shi Hu: "Amitabha, the little monk will leave here."

Shi Hu really liked this honest and brave Kongjian, and persuaded him to stay: "Kongjian doesn't have to be discouraged. Since the establishment of the Black Eagle Army, wars have been constantly large and small. Most of the soldiers have experienced many battles, and the personal guards are the best local sergeants. It's good that you can hit one person with one to four."

Kong Jian sighed: "Even the personal guards have experienced such difficulties, the generals of the Black Eagle Army must have experienced difficulties. I also thought of taking the general's head among the troops, and I really don't know how high the sky is."

After hearing this, Shi Hu said, "Taking the general's head among the thousands of troops can only be the stories that appear in the teahouse. The generals of the Black Eagle Army are all not mediocre, but the general is also a human being. Among the chaos, he is no essential difference between him and a powerful soldier. Therefore, each army must arrange some strong personal guards around the general. This is to protect the general. The importance of a general lies in commanding the army, not in killing several enemies in battle."

Kongjian asked curiously: "When the two armies faced each other, should the two generals fight first, and then the soldiers fight?"

Shi Hu couldn't help laughing, "You think the two armies are fighting each other, and they have to fight one-on-one. The battle between the general and the generals still happens from time to time. However, it happens during melee. If any general comes out to challenge alone when the two armies confront each other, it will become a living target for the crossbowmen. Sora, you have never seen two armies confront each other, you should follow me and tell me the Diamond Sutra, and you will naturally see the real army fighting."

Just the day after the announcement was posted, dozens of carriages appeared in Guyuan City, and more than 200 carriages were also seen. This was a moving tool prepared by Shi Hu to order the logistics troops to prepare for the people in Guyuan City. These people in the Central Plains who lived in Guyuan for decades had moved out of their homes within two days. It was really cruel and ruthless. With these carriages and carriages, the people in these moving places could transport more property to Tongxin City. Although most of them were poor and had no valuable property.

In the afternoon, with the sound of a sad horn in the land, the entire Black Eagle Army, the Lingzhou Army led by Wang Tengxiang, the infantry led by Wang Jiang, the more than 300 Tubo Army led by Dabu, and more than 4,000 sad Guyuan people, watched by Wang Jing and Weizhou Governor Gu Chun, the governor of Weizhou, and left the city from the north gate and slowly moved towards Tongxin City along the Qingshui River.

Dabu, with a dark face, led more than 300 Tubo Army in silver helmets and plain armor, and was just an inconspicuous team in the entire northward migration team. During the march, Dabu was observing the well-equipped Black Eagle Army. Dabu was once defeated by the Black Eagle Army. He had natural hatred and awe for the Black Eagle Army. In his eyes, the Black Eagle Army was obviously stronger than two years ago. Dabu's somewhat inclined eyes showed some worries.

Although the Tubo people in the Hunmo tribe had two years of rest and recuperation, the Tubo people in Gansu and Sha heard that Dabu and Dawagong had gained a foothold in Ruoergai, Zhuoni and Songfan and went south through the difficult and dangerous places. Now the population gathered in Songfan has reached nearly 7,000. The Tubo people in the Hunmo tribe exchanged Ruoergai's war horses for salt, cloth, grain, sugar and other essential daily necessities through the Fengzhou market, and slowly restored the tribe's vitality. However, the Hunmo tribe had split into two large pieces, and Dawagong occupied Zhuoni. Because of the convenience of geographical advantages, more and more Tubo people in the Hunmo tribe came to Zhuoni. The population of Dawagong's tribe had reached more than 14,000. He was also doing business with Fengzhou and obtained a large number of essential daily necessities. If this continues, when Zhuoni's strength far exceeds that of Songfan, internal strife would be difficult to avoid.

Dabu sighed in his heart: If the Tubo people did not have civil strife and the tribes united, then the Tubo army would definitely be a terrible and unrepentant force. I think the Tang Empire, which was once powerful, could not stop the war horses and swords of the Tubo men. Tang Huang fled in a hurry and threw the imperial capital Chang'an to the Tubo heroes. If he had half the strength at that time, he would not have to look at Hou Dayong's expression. However, for the survival of his tribe members, he must now obey Hou Dayong's orders.

There were more than 200 Tubo households in Guyuan City. They were originally the rulers of Guyuan. After the Uighurs occupied Guyuan, the Tubo people in Guyuan City became inferior nations. They unexpectedly saw the flag of the Tubo army in the offensive team, which surprised and happy the Tubo people in the city. These Tubo people, like the Tubo people in Hunmo, were not purely Tubo blood, and they also had the blood of Han and Uighurs. They all knew the name of the Tubo people in Hunmo. When they heard that Ruoergai, Zhuoni and Songfan lived in more than 20,000 Hun.

The Tubo people in the last tribe proposed to leave Guyuan, a war-torn place, and follow Dabu and Dawagong to Ruoergai, Zhuoni and Songfan. Dabu did not dare to agree to this request rashly, but just agreed to a few Tubo elderly people that if they were willing to come to Ruoergai and Zhuoni, he would welcome them at any time and follow the Tubo army on a large scale, but the Central Plains army would not agree. The Tubo people in the city had seen the cruelty of the coalition forces, so they gave up their plan to move immediately. However, the more than 200 Tubo households were ready to move.

Five days later, the large army arrived at Tongxin City.

Seeing that the war in Tongxin City was basically stable, Wang Tengxiang of Lingzhou Army led the Lingzhou cavalry back to Lingzhou after Hou Dayong's approval. Hou Dayong always wanted to bring Wang Tengxiang under his tent, but Wang Tengxiang looked like Guan Yu and had a personality like Guan Yu. At this time, in Wang Tengxiang's mind, Feng Jiye, the governor of Lingzhou, was his real commander. He went to Tongxin City to participate in the war and obeyed Hou Dayong's command. In essence, he was still implementing Feng Jiye's command. Hou Dayong originally wanted to use some tricks to keep Wang Tengxiang, but when he turned around, he thought that Cao Cao was tolerant. When the conditions were not mature, it was not wise to force Wang Tengxiang to stay. It would be impossible to force the cow to drink water and press his head.

When Wang Tengxiang said goodbye, Hou Dayong personally sent him ten miles to Tongxin City. Of course, the main purpose of sending him so far was to win over Wang Tengxiang and to establish his reputation of cherishing talents. Treating Wang Tengxiang was an attitude towards Wang Tengxiang, and Hou Dayong deliberately or unintentionally left him aside. After entering the city, he had a good meal and drink to entertain them, but he did not summon him for several days, making Dabu extremely depressed.

After returning to Tongxin City, the Black Diao Army team ushered in the second grand group wedding. Qian Xiangnan and Zhao Pu took the list prepared before and compared the list of deaths outside Guyuan City, checked one by one. After the list was checked, the two looked at the fifty-two names that were called out and looked at each other silently. After Qian Xiangnan gave the list to Hou Dayong, Hou Dayong looked over and over again several times. These sergeants ranked before 700 were experienced veterans who had no marriage. Their death to the battlefield was the loss of the Black Diao Army. However, the Black Diao Army continued to grow into veterans, and the loss was within the affordable range. However, for the families of soldiers who died in the battle, this damage could never be compensated.

Hou Dayong sat for a while and said to Qian Henan: "In my name, you write a letter to Guo Jiong from Fengzhou, asking him to find a way to find some women from Feng, Qin, Jie, and Chengzhou. Then write a letter to Meng Shu, asking him to buy some women who sell themselves as slaves everywhere in the name of a wealthy shop."
