Life Winner Training Guide

You Hongyin was sitting in the study, looking at the map sent by Shen Yuan, lost in thought.

Now it is another autumn harvest season, and when the autumn harvest is over, Liu Yuan may not be able to sit still.

The four and a half prefectures in his hands have completed the integration and transfer of power. Basically, the two sets of military and government teams have been settled. The local gentry with a relatively good reputation in the countryside are middle- and low-level officials, and the high positions are all filled by You Hongyin who can trust himself and who are outstanding in government affairs and military affairs.In addition to his listed governor of Qingzhou, the governor of Yizhou is Liu Bogen, the governor of Youzhou is Cao Lin, and the governor of Yanzhou is Ge Hong.

In addition, in order to prevent the military and government from being too powerful, You Hongyin rearranged the military leaders of the four states. Almost all of these four were promoted according to their military merits, and they were only in charge of public security, checkpoints, logistics, etc. Right, the soldiers under his command all belong to the security army and the logistics army.

And the ones who are really in charge of the army are all the generals in You Hongyin's hands, such as Cao Yi, such as Wang Mi.

The army they lead is jointly supported by the four states. They have a complete range of infantry, cavalry, archers, etc., and they are all elite troops that can be used by one person. They are well-equipped, professionally trained and have a large number. They are responsible for fighting for You Hongyin and defend against foreign enemies.Of course, because they undertake more dangerous tasks, their treatment is also the best among all generals. As long as they ensure that they can survive on the battlefield, relying on their own food and rewards, they can make the whole family live comfortably. And whether it is the probability of obtaining military merit or the intensity of compensation, it also allows all soldiers to fight the enemy bravely without fear of life and death.

This is why Lu Yun said that the elite troops raised by the lord are powerful, but they are too expensive.

You Hongyin used the method of governing a state by capturing a state, devouring the north, and now the climate has gradually matured, and no one can stop it.

He was looking at the map at the moment, thinking that Liu Yuan would attack that place this autumn.

Although Liu Yuan has been deeply influenced by Han culture, some habits have not changed, that is, he likes to start wars after the autumn harvest.

Bingzhou is now half occupied by Han, and he occupies half. Although there is no large-scale battle, there are still small-scale conflicts, but the strength of each other is almost tested. The cavalry of Han is indeed not to be underestimated, but the defenders On the one hand, it is still more dominant on our own side, so there is no need for the two sides to really work hard for the time being.

Although Liu Yuan founded the country and the Xiongnu had accumulated a lot of power in the past dynasties, he did not have enough power to compete with You Hongyin in terms of territory and management methods.And Liu Yuan should be more aware that the southern court wished that the two of them could fight to the death so that they could reap the benefits.Liu Yuan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty who wanted to restore the Han Dynasty and was born in the Xiongnu, was more wary of the small southern court than You Hongyin, so he would not choose this way.

Then he had to set his target to the south.

In the south bordering Liu Yuan's Han Kingdom are Sizhou and Yongzhou, and the situation in these two states is not the same.

Luoyang is located in Sizhou, and a large number of Sizhou nobles have moved south with the imperial army. Now Sizhou can be said to be still owned by the imperial court on the surface. In fact, only some small officials who are not valued are still maintaining The operation of the government.Without the Hao family, there are only ordinary people left in Sizhou. Of course, some of them have no money, no food, and they are not tenants or servants of the Hao family. Even if they want to follow, they cannot leave.

So the entire Sizhou is probably left with these poor people who can't get enough to eat.

In the early years of Luoyang, after the kings fought for hegemony, a large number of refugees fled. Today's Sizhou, the once prosperous center of the country, has long been empty and desolate.

At this time, Yongzhou next door will naturally not sit idly by.

In fact, Yongzhou has always been a place where ethnic groups live together. Although the Han people call the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Qiang people all called Hu people, there are factions fighting among the Hu people. They will fight because of their respective beliefs and their own interests. unite, or fight.Therefore, as soon as Sima Yue moved the capital, the various Hu tribes in Yongzhou began to be indiscriminate.

The four branches of Lushuihu, Di, Qifu Xianbei and Qiang began the process of fighting for territory.

Among them, Lushuihu is quite special. Its ethnic origin is complicated. It not only has elements of Xiongnu and Yuezhi, but also absorbed tribes such as Jie, Diqiang and even Han in the evolution of the nation, so it has both Caucasian and Yellow race. Its core component is Lu Fang from the Shang Dynasty.

Because of this inclusive fusion feature, Lu Shuihu's original base camp was in Liangzhou, which has a vast land and limited resources. Lu Shuihu has been here to cultivate himself for an unknown period of time, and finally accumulated his strength. On the surface, he did not participate in the power struggle in the Central Plains. But since the imperial court had already given up on the north, it would be a fool not to grab more land, so Lu Shuihu won half of Qinzhou, and also took a fancy to Yongzhou, and indeed occupied some territory in Yongzhou.

However, Qinzhou was originally a place occupied by the Qiang people, which naturally formed an enmity with the Qiang people, and the Qiang people also got involved in Yongzhou.

Begging for Xianbei is the most pitiful, even though it is Xianbei, the power of Xianbei is actually the most widely spread among many Hu tribes. Most of the grasslands in the north and large areas of land in the northwest have the shadow of Xianbei.

But Qifu Xianbei is just a branch of Xianbei. Xianbei is not a united clan.

Therefore, Qifu Xianbei is the weakest among the many Hu tribes. Not only does it have to face the three Hu tribes in the west and the south, but also the Han Dynasty is watching it covetously.

The Hu people's division of the northern territory came to an abrupt end with Sima Yue's death. They seemed to have a tacit understanding with each other and began to divide the territory tacitly.

After the short-term war in Yongzhou subsided and it was torn apart, they turned their attention to Sizhou. To be honest, if it weren’t for the iconic city of Luoyang, the Hu people were not very interested in Sizhou, but because of Luoyang Now, Sizhou has become a territory that they all want to seize, such as Liu Yuan, the Qiang Yang family, and Xianbei Dugu family.

In the end, Xianbei gained a place in Sizhou because the Dugu family guarded the Taihang Pass.

The Dugu family has also become the family with the most say in Sizhou.

It's just that although the Hu people occupy a large territory, even the Yang family of the Qiang nationality also established Qiuchi Kingdom in Qinzhou like Liu Yuan, but in fact, it is too difficult for them to manage the farming territory. He was educated by the Han nationality since he was a child, and he can only govern the country with the two political management systems of the Hu people and the Han people, let alone the Qiang tribe, which has no outstanding leaders, and the emperor is a tribe who can't understand Chinese characters.

Therefore, the national power of Qiu Chi is not prosperous, it is just that the tribe changed its name and broke away from the rule of the imperial court.

You Hongyin carefully sorted out the intricate and intricate relationship between the Hu people in his mind, pointed to Taihang Mountain, and said, "Dugu family."

The Dugu Clan is now led by Dugu Hong, who is brave and a fierce general, but at the same time is also a very smart person, because the Xianbei tribe is actually not very powerful in the local area, but in the environment surrounded by powerful enemies, the Dugu Clan If it can survive safely, then the leader must not be a fool.

You Hongyin felt that smart people are good, because it is more convenient for smart people to talk about conditions, and everyone knows the price well, so there will be no big twists and turns.

"My lord, do you want to attack Taihang Pass?" Wang Mi asked.

You Hongyin said: "No, Sizhou is already very sparsely populated, and it is the target of public criticism. Before destroying the Han Dynasty, we should not take Luoyang prematurely, so that all eyes of the world will focus on me, which is very unfavorable for the future work. Expand."

"Then what does the lord mean?" Wang Mi was very surprised. Let him alone this time, the leader of the army, must have something important to explain.

"I need you to discuss cooperation with Dugu Hong." You Hongyin said: "Liu Yuan can't make a breakthrough in Bingzhou, so he must focus on Taihang Pass and Tongguan. And what he desires most is to capture Luoyang, so attack Taihang Closing became an inevitable move.”

Wang Mi was a little uncertain: "The lord means to cooperate with Dugu Hong. When Liu Yuan attacks Taihang Mountain, we will join hands with Dugu Hong to severely damage the Han army."

"You can say that." You Hongyin nodded in confirmation.

Wang Mi said: "I'm not sure if I can convince Dugu Hong. After all, he and Liu Yuan are barbarians from the grassland."

You Hongyin said: "There is no need to worry about this. The Xianbei tribe led by Dugu Hong is weak. If they don't rely on the big forces to seek asylum, they will definitely be destroyed in the ensuing turmoil. Dugu Hong will not fail to understand the situation. What's more , All the tribes in the grassland respect the strong. Now apart from the southern court, Liu Yuan and I are the most powerful in the north. Since he insists on guarding the Taihang Pass, he must be unwilling to follow Liu Yuan, so he can only choose me. "

And Wang Mi looked at his expression, still a little doubtful.

You Hongyin continued: "Heming had already arranged manpower at Dugu Clan's Taihang Pass a few years ago. Even if Dugu Clan didn't agree to cooperate, there are people from Heming who are pushing it. Too worried."

"Yes, then this subordinate will handle this matter in person." Wang Mi strengthened his confidence when he heard the situation, and then he left immediately, ready to set out to handle the matter.

You Hongyin continued to pay attention to the map, but his eyes were not on Han, but on Qiu Chi.

The sudden emergence of new forces made You Hongyin a little depressed.

There are too many and complicated forces in the north, and it is really difficult to sort out. In the early years, he planned to plan for the north. Although the ideal blueprint he envisioned has been realized one by one now, he did not expect that it would take so much effort to really pacify the north.

When the imperial court ruled the world back then, it didn't really try to gather the territory in its hands and sort out the forces of all parties. Generally speaking, the small rulers of a certain area expressed their submission, and they really regarded this place as their own territory. Immediately arrange counties and counties, and enfeoff the kings.But in fact, the rulers of those lands just hid themselves, accumulating strength all the time, waiting to rise again.

That's why the time for the imperial court to unify the world is so short, and it soon fell into a situation of disintegration, and now, apart from the Sima family's royal family, there are also local princes emerging in endlessly, which is comparable to the Warring States period.

Now that You Hongyin is 26 years old, it is really difficult to completely rule the world before his 30s.Originally, he planned to ascend to the throne of God as soon as possible, so that he could spare his energy to manage the world that was waiting to be rebuilt. At this time, he was expected to be between 45 and [-] years old.

After the age of 45, it is necessary to support the new king, so that the old one can have time to rest.And the new prince he planned before didn't necessarily have to have his own sons. In order to shorten the time, he originally wanted to accept adopted sons and selected them from among the adopted sons.

It's a pity that the plan is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Now that this was the case, his marriage could not be delayed any longer, and the adoption of his adopted son was not going very smoothly. For such a long time, he hardly met a child with enough talent.

In fact, this is also very normal. The matter of talent is related to blood, and it is almost impossible for the best blood in the world to come out of the poor, and the living environment and so on will make the originally gifted children less suitable.

On the other hand, if the southern imperial court breaks its head and offers a marriage or something, I really can't resist it.

The reason why You Hongyin was unwilling to marry a wife before was because the scope of his choice of spouses was very small, almost all of them belonged to the aristocratic family, and choosing the aristocratic family as the descendant, then it means that the future emperor is from a noble family, which is very likely The family will have too much power.

But obviously the current situation is that instead of thinking about how the future emperor can compete with his family, it is better to think about finding a wife quickly, giving birth to a son and starting to raise him, otherwise when he is seventy or eighty, his son will not be able to take over the heavy responsibility, and he will not be the one who is unlucky in the end.

So You Hongyin put the matter of picking a wife on the agenda.

In addition, his apprentices are all older than him, but they all learn that he doesn't marry a wife or a man. He doesn't care about such things, but it's hard to say whether the disciples will regret it in front of others in the future. up.

You Hongyin added the word "apprentice marriage" to his schedule, and began to think about how to deal with this kind of mother-in-law.

too close.

Although the Dugu family belonged to the Qiang people, the Qiang people surrendered to the Han Dynasty for a long time. Compared with the Han people, except for some differences in appearance, there are no differences with the Han people in many places.

Therefore, the Dugu family guarded Taihang Mountain, and the people of Sizhou just thought that General Dugu was much better than those nobles who fled, and they still guarded them to prevent the Huns from going south.

Now the Xianbei tribes in the north cannot pass through the Youzhou border defense, Bingzhou also has Cao Lin arranged by You Hongyin to intercept the Hu people's actions, and Taihang Pass and Tongguan are guarding the checkpoints. Sizhou is now safer than before when the capital was not moved. It is higher, and the Hu people who carve up Yongzhou and Sizhou are not very interested in the clean poor who have been searched for land because they are influenced by Han culture.

Dugu Hong is now in the prime of life, and he is very envious of the Huns going out to establish a country independently, but he does not dare to be like Liu Yuan.

His Xianbei tribe is much weaker than the Xiongnu, and there is no way to do it. It is already very difficult for the Dugu family to lead the Xianbei tribe to survive in the cracks of various forces. What a dream of fighting for world hegemony.

"General, there is an envoy outside the pass asking to see him, do you want to bring him in?" A soldier reported.

"Do you know who it is?" Dugu Hong was cleaning his armor, and asked loudly after hearing the report.

Xiao Bing had a complicated look in his eyes: "It's General Wang Miwang, the striker general under Guo Shijun, governor of Qingzhou."

At this time, Dugu Hong knew why Xiaobing's expression was complicated.

This is all caused by that cheating Guo Xi who has money.

The soldiers under Guo Xi's command almost covered the entire northern region, and there were people from almost anywhere, so the news that the soldiers in his army were well paid had already spread throughout the north. How could Taihang Pass not know that many relatives were there? The soldiers under Guo Xi have all received letters from home or oral messages that seem to show off but are actually soliciting.

Dugu Hong was not angry about this, but felt that it would be nice if it was possible to hug Guo Xi's thigh. Unfortunately, his Dugu clan belonged to a foreign clan. If he took the initiative to ask for help, he would not be taken seriously, so he led the soldiers to guard the Taihang Pass. Quietly waiting for the opportunity.

So upon hearing Wang Mi's arrival, Lonely Hong laughed loudly: "Hahaha, it seems that the people under Guo Shijun's command are quite quick to respond."

Then, under Xiaobing's dumbfounded gaze, Dugu Hong coughed and said, "Please come to the living room."

The little soldiers led the troops away, and Dugu Hong also put on his clothes and walked towards the living room energetically.

When the two met, Wang Mi expressed his intention in the future, but Dugu Hong didn't agree.Don't look at Dugu Hong as a man with a rough appearance, in fact he has a lot of eyes, and this kind of thing is naturally to seek more benefits for his own ethnic group.

However, Wang Mi is not stupid. Walking all the way from Taihang Pass, he has already discovered that the soldiers here are very envious of the treatment of the soldiers under the lord's command, and this situation has not been stopped by Dugu Hong, which means that Dugu Hong also has intentions. Intentional.

Therefore, Wang Mi boldly put aside the original tactical goal of cooperation, and instead began to recruit military talents for his master!

The Xianbei people are strong in physique and have a strong folk style. If they are gathered under the lord's command, they will be another force. Moreover, Dugu Hong has his own soldiers and will not touch the interests of the generals under the lord now.

If he doesn't take credit for this kind of credit, the 'Flying Leopard' who was once famous in the capital of Luoyang is an idiot.

Obviously, Wang Mi is not.

In the end, under Wang Mi's persuasion and Dugu Hong's restraint, the two sides agreed that the Dugu clan would take the battle of Taihang Mountain as a gift of surrender, and You Hongyin would send troops to deal with the other Hu people in Sizhou, so as to ensure stability for the Dugu clan's Xianbei people. The place where people live together, and there will be support in various aspects such as farming and weapons.

You Hongyin needed to decide on the details, and Wang Mi only gave a rough promise, he couldn't make decisions on such matters without authorization.

After Wang Mi returned, Dugu Hong breathed a sigh of relief. Guo Xi can be regarded as a lord who is very tolerant towards his ruler. If he finds a good backer for the ethnic group, the pressure on him will be greatly reduced. You must know that with the strength behind him It is too reluctant to deal with Liu Yuan who may attack.

But You Hongyin's prediction did not go wrong. After Wang Mi quietly brought the ambush troops, he waited for less than half a month. On a late autumn morning, when everyone seemed to be sleeping, someone suddenly attacked Tai Xingguang.

Look at the banner, it is Liu Cong, King of Chu.

In Wang Mi's heart, there was a sense of destiny. In fact, before Liu Yuan sent troops, no one knew who he would send, but Liu Cong happened to be the one the lord wanted to get rid of.

The protagonist's destiny belongs to him, and he can also spy on many corners and corners.

"Give the order, continue to hide, everyone cheer up and hide themselves well, if you miss any trace, you will be punished as a rebel! The spies immediately check the specific number and formation of the enemy." Wang Mi signaled the herald to pass the order.

Liu Cong, like his father, is a very good general. This time he mobilized 10 troops originally stationed in the direction of Bingzhou, and now [-] pioneers are attacking the checkpoint, and another [-] will arrive later.

Wang Mi received the specific report from the spies, and understood that Liu Cong's attack at the moment was just a temptation. This person is cunning and cautious, and he will not order the attack on Taihang Pass when the army is exhausted.

Sure enough, Dugu, who was guarding the pass, had long been accustomed to this kind of attack, and could easily cope with it. Immediately, Liu Cong saw that it was almost done, and ordered the herald to retreat.

Wang Mi saw this situation through the binoculars and thought it was a good opportunity, so he immediately said: "8000 people from the left wing intercept the rear army, and the rest follow me."

Then I saw Wang Mi's horse galloping out, and then it ran like thunder behind him.

Seeing that Wang Mi on horseback had reached the range of the bow, he immediately drew out the bow and arrow. The first arrow shot Liu Cong's herald to death, and the second arrow directly broke the handsome flag.

Flying Leopard is by no means in vain.

Everyone on Liu Cong's side was taken aback. No one thought that it was just a pass through the Taihang Pass, and they were outside the city's defenders. Dugu Hong even invited foreign aid to ambush him.Could it be that there is a traitor in the army, in fact, the enemy has already got the news and made defense preparations early?

And Liu Cong was very experienced, so he immediately tried to calm down the panic of his subordinates and organized a phalanx to resist the impact of the cavalry.In fact, cavalry is the best way to deal with cavalry, but because cavalry is useless in attacking the city, the vanguard has only a few thousand accompanying cavalry, which can't stop the enemy's cavalry from attacking at all, so Liu Cong had to arrange the infantry in a square formation and use shields and spears to deal with the enemy.

But the speed is still too slow.

Because the herald was killed, the soldiers attacking the city in front did not receive a detailed retreat order in advance, and even though Liu Cong Mingjin withdrew his troops afterwards, the siege soldiers who had already suffered serious deaths caused riots. At the same time, the retreat also disturbed the rear. When the enemy's cavalry rushed to the front, what kind of phalanx was still in a mess.

The cavalry led by Liu Cong were mainly to guard the main tent. He didn't want to spread the chaos to the main army, so he simply ignored the chaotic infantry and started to mobilize the cavalry and archers near the main tent. , began to attack the enemy cavalry from a long distance, hoping to use this side pressure to reduce the enemy's lethality to the infantry and reduce casualties.

But who knows, Wang Mi is not interested in that group of fat meat that can be slaughtered wantonly and eaten as soon as it is eaten.He directly swung his army to attack Liu Cong's main tent, and what he was fighting was to capture the thief and capture the king, and kill the target in the Lord's mind!
