sweeping the world

Chapter 475 Two Different Surrender Factions
The food of the army is generally directly related to the morale of the soldiers. Don't expect how high the morale of a group of soldiers who really eat chaff and vegetables can be, but eating better can always make the soldiers feel happy from the heart.As a soldier who doesn't know whether he can survive after going into battle, every meal before going into battle after entering the war state may be his last meal.From the perspective of some customs in China, this is also the reason why many condemned prisoners have to eat a good meal before execution.

There are many foods that can seduce people's appetite at first glance, especially those various "roasted" that are very attractive.

Meat has always been one of the most attractive foods. In this era when rich people may not necessarily be able to eat meat, the greasy roasted lamb, roasted cow, and roasted pig all over their bodies glow like gold. In front of the eyes, there is an unusual visual stimulation at a glance.

In front of the Nanzheng defenders, there were soldiers of the Han army at the back, cutting or eating one by one with a dagger. When eating, there was a kind of intoxication that was definitely not a disguise. , the beans boiled in clear water in the bowl looked disgusting.

If conditions permit, roasted lamb will indeed appear in every meal of the Han army. Meat food is never lacking in the Han army's menu, either land meat or salted fish. Rich in nutrients, plus There is never a shortage of food and fodder on the ground, so that none of the Han soldiers will look skinny. Coupled with reasonable training, the Han soldiers will look strong physically.

Seriously, in terms of physique alone, it is estimated that Roman soldiers can be compared with Han soldiers in today's world.Both parties have never been short of meat in terms of food.

It is strange to say that some countries that are far apart actually collapsed at the same time. For example, the Han Empire in the East was going to perish in civil strife, and Rome was also split in the internal struggle for power. The Guishuang Empire and the Parthian Empire directly It is to completely disappear in the long river of history.

That's right, today's Rome has been divided, the two sides are bounded by Greece, the European part is the Western Roman Empire, and the Central Asian region is the Eastern Roman Empire.Soon the Eastern Roman Empire will also be renamed the Byzantine Empire. When they faced the Sassanian Dynasty, they were more struggling to parry.The Western Roman Empire will be severely whipped by a Huns called "God's Whip", and then wiped out by Germans, Goths, Gauls, Saxons and other barbarians.

Those ethnic groups that were previously scornfully called barbarians and barbarians reached the pinnacle of the historical stage at about the same time.In the east, the Southern Huns, Jie, Xianbei, Qiang, and Di were raging everywhere; in the west, there were the Northern Huns, Germans, Goths, Gauls, and Saxons.It was as if some transcendent creature in the dark felt that the powerful countries in the past should disappear. With a tap of a finger or an idea in the mind, various natural disasters appeared, and the world structure underwent a major change.

The difference is that the Southern Xiongnu and Jie people in the east disappeared quickly. The Xianbei people took the initiative to fully integrate into the Han people for two to three hundred years. The Di people also disappeared later, but the Qiang people later became a nation and were continued. But these ethnic groups Never had a "lead role" again.On the contrary, the Germans, Goths, Gauls, Saxons, etc. in the West gradually became the nation that dominated the world.

The world is a jungle, which obeys one law. It is so primitive that it will disappear if it does not make progress. It is the competition between every hunter.

Now two hunters competed again, and the big and strong Han Guo set his sights on the thin and weak Li Chenghan.Han Guo is like a rough man who has already ridden on Li Chenghan's body. What he has to do is to strip off the armor on Li Chenghan's body one by one, and stab the deadly sword fiercely or gently from behind.

Nanzheng was Li's Chenghan's relatively stronger armor in the northern territory. The Han army approaching the city was in a posture of sharpening its swords, but the Han army did not launch a tentative attack on Nanzheng in the first three days.

For three consecutive days, the Han army was building all kinds of equipment, and they continued to do childish behaviors every time it was meal time, that is, placing all kinds of rich food where the Nanzheng defenders could see it for temptation, and there were also Wearing the military uniform of the Li Family Cheng Han, eating meat and drinking in big bowls.

"What does it mean that more than [-] soldiers are missing?" Zan Jian actually understood, that is, some defenders sneaked to the Han army and surrendered.His face was very ugly, and his voice was dry to a certain extent: "The situation in the city must have been detected by the enemy."

So sometimes it looks childish but it really works...

The Nanzheng defenders who surrendered before the battle were not of a high status. They tied a rope at the top of the city in the dark and climbed down the city wall. They really just wanted to eat a bite of meat that they had missed for a long time. The information they brought to Huan Wen was very limited, that is, about the approximate number of people in the city. How many defenders are there, what are the local fortifications, and other information.There is no hope of getting accurate answers to information such as how much food is stored, how much ordnance is stored, whether there will be reinforcements, etc.

Huan Wen asked those defectors to show off in front of the battle, nothing more than to stimulate more Nanzheng defenders. It is also a kind of behavior that looks a bit naive, but the psychological impact on the Nanzheng defenders will be far more than imagined.

One moment, he still eats those beans that will keep farting if he eats too much, and the next moment his figure appears outside the city, eating a big bowl of meat and drinking, and the defender will feel a sense of imbalance in his heart.We must deeply understand that this is an era when people can sacrifice their lives for one bite of food, and many people will accept death after eating a good meal.And soon you will really face the desperate situation. People who lack a sense of belonging will think that it is also desperate, so why is it not fighting?

Zan Jian is a genuine contemporary person, and he can roughly guess what the current low-level people think. He ordered: "Executing a series of sittings, one person will serve in every tenth, and all will be killed. If five people in the first team are missing, behead the entire team leader. Shichang, team leader, and if you go up, you will kill the village chief and the Qu chief..."

As if joking, Zan Jian had just implemented the punishment system of continuous sitting, and the Han army outside the city began to shout, saying that the defectors will not only eat and drink well, but also that the Li family will be naturalized after the Han Dynasty is destroyed. Family members will also be treated preferentially, waiting for something that sounds affordable or purely seductive.

What made Zan Jian tremble with anger was that the Han army specially offered a price for his defection, don't even think about generals, he can start as a school lieutenant, and the title starts from the fourth level.

In fact, the price offered by Huan Wen was not low. The Ran family in Qin State had a similar start when it was incorporated. It can really be called a conscientious price.However, Zan Jian didn't know that, so of course he would feel it was an insult.

"I'm not angry, not at all." Zan Jian faced Wang Gu who came to persuade him, and said, "Huan Wen is trying to provoke this general, and wants to make him give up his advantage in the city and go out to fight in the field. This general will not be fooled!"

Wang Gu looked very calm. What he didn't tell Zan Jian was that he had already thought of one thing, that is, if Nan Zheng could persevere, it would be fine. Once Nan Zheng showed signs of falling, he would write a letter or go to persuade Li Shi himself. The whole country surrendered.

That's right, Wang Gu really wanted to persuade Li Shi not to struggle, thinking that since the country's subjugation was unavoidable, he would surrender the whole country in exchange for the preservation of the Li family.Historically, when Li's Chenghan faced the invasion led by Huan Wen, he and Chang Chu, the regular servant of Sanqi, persuaded Li Shi to surrender, and Li Shi really surrendered.

Chang Qi, a regular servant of Sanqi, is currently in Danqu City, the capital of Danqu County.

Danqu City is located on the west bank of Bucao River, which is connected to Danqu River. At the same time, both Bucao River and Danqu River can be regarded as the diversion of Han River.

Chang Can is 55 years old this year, which can be called a long life based on the current average life span.His appearance looked very old, but his body seemed to be still strong, and he had the gentleness that a scholar should have. But now he had a look of resentment on his face and was talking to a man who looked equally old.

"The puppet Han is a country of tigers and wolves. If Shu ruled over it, it would inevitably suffer more." The person opposite Chang Zhu was called Gong Zhuang, and Gong Zhuang was a Brazilian hermit.He bowed to the southeast for a while, and said: "Compared to the puppet Han, the Jin family is the Zhengshuo. If the land of Shu has to change hands, the Jin family is the good master."

There are many reasons for Chang Can's resentment. When Li Qi and Li Shou were in power, he was a historian. The Chang family in Jiangyuan (now Chongzhou, Chengdu, Sichuan) was successively attacked by Li Qi and Li Shou because of their prestige in Shu. His kind treatment made Chang Zhen feel a lot of belonging to Li Chenghan.After Li Shi came to the throne, he was promoted to the rank of regular attendant of Sanqi, but the promotion did not give him much happiness. The reason was that Li Shi showed all the qualities that a foolish king should have, and most of the Qingliu who knew him well were dismissed by Li Shi. Li Shi was purged, and the interests of a large number of nobles in Shu were harmed. You can imagine how much he disliked Li Shi.

The small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was the actual situation where aristocratic families were divided and autonomous, not to mention where Chang Xu, who was also from a noble family, would choose to lean on.Compared with the interests of the aristocratic families that would be guaranteed under the rule of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty's treatment of the aristocratic families has long been rumored. So if the aristocratic families in Shu had a choice, they would definitely choose the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to become the masters of Shu. No. It will be the Han Dynasty that brings the Shu land under its rule.

To put it very clearly, Chang Quan is a "Harbin sect" who yearns for the power of aristocratic families within the boundaries of the Eastern Jin Dynasty's small court. He will only feel happy and not reluctant if he can join it.When Li Shou was still here, given that the Chang family was often taken care of, it was of course not easy for him to directly show his "Hajin sect" side. After Li Shi came to the throne, it was also difficult to show his ridiculousness. When the Han Dynasty When the army invades and the front line is defeated again and again, it is for the sake of all members of the Shu family.

Dangqu County is now being invaded by the Han army led by Yin Hao. The Han army came from the direction of Shangyong and first captured the Badong area, which actually belonged to the territory of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Yin Hao's troops did not encounter much stubborn resistance when they attacked Badong. The reason is that the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty now pays the most attention to the line from Shouchun to Jingkou. The northwest territory located in the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has actually been abandoned. And abandon, the reason is that Shouchun can be defended to the Jingkou area, so it can be taken back after losing the territory on the northwest territory now.

Badong County is within the scope of the Yangtze River waterway, and Yin Hao's troops were able to take it quickly and easily because the inland river fleet of the Han army was fully exerted, but the Yangtze River section of Badong County has been developed quite since the pre-Qin period. Perfection, plus the factor of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty giving up, Yin Hao's troops couldn't slow down even if they wanted to.

Like Chang Zhu, Gong Zhuang is actually a "Ha Jin faction", and the latter "Ha Jin" can still "Ha" with confidence, the reason is that Gong Zhuang's father and uncle were killed by Li Te, because of the huge difference in strength Unable to avenge.Until Li Shou was stationed in Hanzhong and fought against Li Qi, he went to Li for advice many times with Gong Zhuang's kindness.Although Gong Zhuang did not serve as an official, he taught him to take Chengdu first and call it a vassal in Jin.Li Shou sent troops to seize the throne according to his plan, but when he succeeded, he changed the name of the country and proclaimed himself emperor. He even hired Gong Zhuang as his grand teacher but still failed.

If it is said that from the perspective of the aristocratic family, Chang Chu hopes that the land of Shu will be ruled by the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Gong Zhuang thinks more about the common people, but Gong Zhuang thinks about the common people based on his own thoughts and starting point.

There are not many literati with clear national concepts these days. After all, whether it is Confucius or the vast majority of great Confucians behind him, they all teach that "there is no distinction between teaching and learning." It is "the barbarians enter China, and China will come." Don't expect people with this kind of concept to have a clear ethnic concept, whether it is now or in the future.

Li's Chenghan is a country ruled by Di people and Qiang people, but the process of Sinicization in this country is actually not low. The strange thing is that the real Han Miao people have never lacked the experience of being bullied. That is to say, some families with sufficient strength or reputation and strength are "used" by those in power.

In Gong Zhuang's eyes, the newly emerged Han Dynasty was a strange and nondescript country. In particular, the year-round wars and various major projects showed a serious lack of consideration for the people. He deeply believed that the people living in such a country were simply suffering. .

"With our prestige, we will definitely be delighted to contact the Jin army and enter Shu." Gong Zhuang didn't want to be an official of the Li family Chenghan, but was still interested in becoming a member of the small court officials of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.However, he felt that leading the Jin army to Shu was not for the purpose of becoming an official, but for the sake of the common people as Zhang Song did when he led Liu Bei to Sichuan.He asked: "Presumably the Jin family will not watch the puppet Han attack the land of Shu?"

It is not easy to communicate with the outside world in Shu, and it has been in the status quo of closed information all year round. Others will not know what Shu is like unless they put in a lot of effort. Similarly, it is not easy for people in Shu to know what is going on outside.Whether it was Chang Chu or Gong Zhuang, even if the Han army captured Badong, they thought it was because the Jin army was unprepared for a while. They didn't even know what the Eastern Jin Dynasty was facing.
