{Thank you for your friend Jiang Xinyi's monthly pass} Without spending a single soldier, they forced the Haoyu clan of Lanling Township to surrender, and the whole army was jubilant, except for the Xiao family and the Zhu family, who were a little sad about the death of rabbits and foxes.
After all, the whole territory of Lanling fell, and the whole army of the township tyrants was wiped out, as a member of the former Lanling township tyrants, their hearts were not comfortable, but that's all, and soon this sorrow was replaced by the timely relocation of the villagers.
The Yu family has nearly 4,000 people, 800 of whom were selected from Ding Zhuang to be incorporated into the army, and nearly 500 maids and concubines were assigned to the singles in the army in the way of blindfolded touching their wives.
In addition, there are more than 30,000 stones of grain, more than 2,000 horses of cloth, less than 100 catties of gold and silver, nearly 100 horses, and more than 2,000 heads of livestock.
Yang Yan is not afraid that the Yu family will have a demon son, and the loss of both people and money, how can there be capital for a comeback In the final analysis, the Yu family is just a village tyrant, equivalent to the local gentry in the Ming and Qing dynasties, this kind of family is not a political figure or a high-ranking family, it is influential in all aspects, and it will be broken if it is broken, Shen Chong also took a fancy to this, so he dared to rely on the strong soldiers to let it go.
Moreover, Yang Yan is no longer what it used to be, he has a firm foothold in Tancheng, with more than 20,000 people on hand, and it is not difficult to assimilate 4,000 people with more than 20,000 people, which is completely different from the situation when Yan Ping was broken at the beginning.
At that time, Yang Yan had just eaten the exiles, the people's hearts were unstable, and he was new to Tancheng, the situation was not familiar, and he did not dare to use Yan Pingbu as a soldier, so he could only be used as a miner.
However, Yan Ping's subordinates have been miners for a period of time, and they are no longer willing to be soldiers, and the miners only work for four hours a day, with enough food and clothing, which is better than being a soldier, so Yang Yan has to follow them.
Yan Ping can be regarded as completely returning to his heart, even if the family wealth and people are plundered.
After all, revenge and rebellion not only have to bear a huge wind, but also have courage, not everyone dares to resist, and more importantly, the original subordinates are scattered, and no one is willing to follow him to take risks, so they can only obey and obey orders.
It wasn't until mid-June that the chaos on the ground in Xu Yan gradually subsided, and in the fields, farmers sowed bean seeds, and Yang Yan also listened to Xun Hu's report in the palace.
"General, according to summary statistics, there are 22 large and small township tycoons in the five counties of Lanling, and all the six surnames in Lanling are ruined, and there are a total of 16 families in the four counties of Lanling, Qi, Hexiang, and Changxi, and seven families are in Shen Chong, and together with the acquisition of Haozong in Yucheng, Shen Chong has more than 7,000 deaths.
The remaining nine families fled, three fled into the territory of the East China Sea, the remaining family has been absorbed by the general, the other two have been broken by the joint efforts of the Tancheng villagers, and one has broken through the blockade of the county hao after a bloody battle, and fled into the border of Xiapi.
At the same time, during this period of time, the whole army reconnoitred and searched in the surrounding area, and found a total of 817 Ding men in Lanling Township, 500 of whom were selected to serve in the army, 326 maids and concubines, Xu and soldiers, and 514 old and weak women and children, all of whom have been resettled.
At present, our army has 6,600 soldiers, including 1,000 sailors, 1,200 cavalry, 500 bows, and 3,099 foot soldiers. “ The strength reported by Xun Hu does not include the personal guards, and the personal guards belong to Yang Yan's personal escort force, although they also participate in the battle, they are not included in the combat sequence, and the reward and promotion are not counted according to military merits.
According to Xun Hu's report, a total of 1,300 soldiers were obtained, which was one-fifth of Shen Chong's.
Shen Chong eats meat, Yang Yan drinks soup, and the rest of Xi Jian, Langya, and Tancheng villagers can also drink some soup more or less.
Cui Wan's face was gloomy, and he sighed: "Shen Chongguo is a tiger and wolf, when he came, the surnames of Shen, Qian, and Wei were about 16,000 soldiers, and now they have jumped to more than 20,000, which can be called Xu Yan's overlord. “ Cui Yan did not hold any position in Yang Yan's army, but he had already gained Yang Yan's trust and could participate in the military and government affairs.
And the benefits of not being non-existent can make people have a thought, be conscientious, and be careful, after all, the whole army has a tacit understanding, and before fully controlling the East China Sea, it belongs to the stage of hard work, and dedication is the mainstay.
Of course, this stage will not continue endlessly, once Yang Yan breaks through the townsmen in Tancheng and fully controls the East China Sea Kingdom, it is time to share the fruits.
Xiao Ren also said: "I'm afraid that after Shen Chong allocates Xu Niche, he will breed the ambition to sweep Xu Yan, and then it will be eventful." ” Yang Yan waved his hand and said: "You think Shen Chong too highly, just say Shi Le, how can Shi Le sit back and watch Xu Gong be destroyed."
Qinshan is located in the heart of Yanzhou, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Shen Chong occupies Mount Tai, he can go north to the Yellow River, threaten Jizhou, make Shile sleep and eat unwell, and Liu Yao will shrink when fighting, or may be defeated, even if Shen Chong has no ambition to go north for the time being, he can retreat according to the mountain to defend and block the cavalry from going south, Le will not be unknown, and he will send a large army to rescue Xu Gong.
Shen Chong still has two hidden worries, one is that his soldiers are forcibly recruited, and people's hearts are in turmoil, if the battle situation is unfavorable, there will be disasters, and second, Shen Chong's main force is mainly southerners, and he does not know the cold winter in Huaibei, so he is afraid that he will underestimate the cold in winter. ” From the first to the sixth century AD, it was a 500-year Xiaoice period, when pastures and pastures had extended to the south of the Yellow River, which meant that north of Taishan County, sheep could be raised and grazing, and arable land also retreated to the south While safety is not guaranteed, it is also an important reason why production is declining due to cold weather, and the output of a busy year cannot be used to meet the input.
According to historical records, the coldest time in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the average annual temperature was only 16 degrees, so low temperature is unimaginable for modern people.
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was not surprising that there was heavy snow in the month of Jiankang, and although the temperature in Tancheng in winter could not be measured, according to Yang Yan's experience and feelings, and then according to the oral judgment of the northern refugees, the extreme low temperature should be about minus 20 degrees.
This is very scary, minus 20 degrees usually occurs in Inner Mongolia and the three eastern provinces, which is equivalent to the Xiaoice River period to push the minus 20 degrees north of the Great Wall to the south of the Shandong Peninsula.
For the people of Wuxing, who are in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, it is difficult to say whether they can adapt to such a cold weather.
Cui Wan nodded approvingly: "According to the general's analysis, Shen Chong is likely to be defeated, so can it be redeemed After all, Shen Chong is also a member of my Jin lineage, if he is defeated, under the rise of one and the other, I am afraid that Hu Lu's strength will increase greatly." “ Yang Yan smiled bitterly: "Unless Shen Chong doesn't attack Xu Gong." “ "Hey" Cui Wan sighed: "Judging from the fact that Shen Chong just arrived in Lanling and destroyed his villagers, this person has an impatient temperament, and he is afraid that attacking Xu Gong is ready to fly, so he has to be ear-splitting." “ Yang Yan secretly said his guilt, what should I do, who called him weak, only by fishing in troubled waters can he grow quickly, besides, those who have become great things in ancient times, who are not ruthless, relatively speaking, it is not easy for Yang Yan to abide by the bottom limit.
Xiao Ren seemed to think of something, and reminded: "Fujun, the court is facing my East China Sea, Xiapi, Huailing and Pengcheng cooperate with Shen Chong to attack Xu Niche, I am afraid that Shen Chong's envoy will come soon, it is reasonable, our army should send troops to help, and my subordinates are worried that Shen Chong may drive the general to attack the city first."
Yang Yan showed a cautious look and muttered: "This matter must be guarded against, but Shen Chong is powerful, if he forcibly gives an order, I will not refuse, so I will take all the cavalry out, and forgive Shen Chong will not tear his face with me."
Of course, it would be best if Xu Niche could be broken in this battle, but I still had to be prepared for the defeat of Shen Chong's army, and the guards should contact me at any time to act on camera. “ "No" The generals responded.
With only the cavalry accompanying him, Shen Chong had no reason to force himself to attack the city, after all, from ancient times to the present, he had never heard of attacking the city with cavalry, and the cavalry was mobile and flexible, in case of defeat, he would run faster than others.
In fact, in his conscience, Yang Yan didn't want Shen Chong to be defeated, it was best to lose both with Xu Gong, and he would pick up the wheat, but the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the forces of all parties were intriguing, he had a plan, others may not have it, and he had to prepare for the worst.
At present, the cavalry of the Eastern Navy, after more than half a year of intensive training, is no longer the same as the original showcase, although there is still a considerable gap between the level of the return and the level of the guard, but the normal cavalry shooting and charging are not a problem, enough to be used on the battlefield.
Unconsciously, the end of summer is coming, the weather is getting cooler, and the grain futures market in the East China Sea is also officially opened
