Chapter 473 Cheng Yu: Those Taller than the Wheels Will Be Killed! [Monthly Vote Requested]

Deng Ai, the general who destroyed Shu, was not born yet. I didn't expect to find Deng Zhi, the diplomat who had continued the national destiny of Shu Han for decades. What an unexpected surprise!

Jia Xu opened his laptop and checked Deng Zhi's information.

Deng Zhi, courtesy name Bon Miao, was a minister of humerus in the late Shu Han Dynasty and a late bloomer. He only came to prominence at the age of forty. He served first as a county magistrate and later as a prefect. Because of his outstanding political achievements, he was transferred to the imperial court to serve as minister.

After the Battle of Yiling, the relationship between Shu Han and Soochow reached a freezing point. In order to prevent being attacked by Soochow and Cao Wei, Zhuge Liang sent Deng Zhi as envoy to Soochow.

When Deng Zhi first arrived in Soochow, Sun Quan didn't even plan to meet him, but in the end he was persuaded by Deng Zhi, broke off the relationship with Cao Wei, and re-established an alliance with the Shu Han, allowing the Shu Han to go through the most difficult period.

During the Northern Expedition, Deng Zhi, as Zhao Yun's adviser, led a partial division to act as a suspect. After the defeat at Jieting, Zhuge Liang began to withdraw his troops. The partial divisions led by Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi were the only troops that did not lose troops or generals.

After that, Deng Zhi was stationed in Jiangzhou all year round and was responsible for diplomatic affairs with Soochow. When he was over seventy, he could still lead the army to suppress the rebellion and was named General of Chariots and Cavalry and Marquis of Yangwu Ting.

In 251 AD, Deng Zhi died at the age of eighty.

During the Three Kingdoms period, when the average age was just over thirty, being able to live to be eighty was considered a long life.

Wei Xu asked:

"In what direction does Mr. Wenhe plan to train Deng Zhi to become a general?"

Jia Xu slowly took a sip of hot tea:

"We already have enough generals, but we lack qualified diplomatic talents. If Deng Zhi is willing, he can become a diplomat like Zhang Bowang and Ban Dingyuan in the future."

Being able to renegotiate the alliance when the relationship between Wu and Shu reached a freezing point, this alone is enough for Deng Bomiao to be remembered in history.

In addition to being good at eloquence and communication, Deng Zhi also had good military talents. Not only did he participate in the Northern Expedition, but he also countered several rebellions without disrupting the normal life of the people.

Isn't this kind of player who can fight wars and go to other countries without being humble or arrogant a typical diplomat during the Han Dynasty?

Well, to be a diplomat in the Han Dynasty, you can let go of your diplomatic abilities, but your military abilities must be outstanding.

After all, leaving a name, a line of words, or a single page in a history book is all about military ability. As for diplomatic ability, it is just auxiliary.

I, the diplomat of the Han Dynasty, never value diplomatic ability... Wei Xu silently muttered in his heart, wrote down Jia Xu's words, and went to the intelligence center later to inform Xu Huang to send Deng Zhi to Chang'an, and gave him instructions by the way. Hou Cheng said a few words, lest this fool die in Wancheng. If you want to scold him then you have to go to the cemetery, which is very troublesome.

After talking about Deng Zhi, Jia Xu explained:

"Send fifty horses to the industrial area and ask Yang Xiu to design the horse armor. There is no need for heavy armor from the Tang and Song Dynasties. It only needs to have certain protective capabilities."

The rate of wearing armor in the Han Dynasty was not high, and there was no need to wrap people and horses into iron cans.

After handling these matters, Jia Xu asked:

"No news from Jiuyuan?"

"No... the last news came that the two sides had divided their forces. General Wenyuan and Mr. Zhongde each led a group of troops to clear out the scattered Xianbei tribe and Tuge tribe."

Jia Xu put down the tea cup and sighed:

"The signal tower is still not enough. I'm always a little uneasy because I can't get the information there in time."

At the same time, Yanmen County.

Prefect Guo Mian was introducing the nearby Tuge tribe to Cheng Yu:

"They gathered together, with strong soldiers and horses, and several generals who were said to be enemies of ten thousand people. They came and went like the wind. I once led the county soldiers to expel them, but with little effect. Instead, they were slaughtered by various tribes and injured many soldiers."

Hearing the words "Ten thousand enemies", Dian Wei's eyes lit up as he was chewing dried meat:

"Where are those foreign generals now? Neither I nor Marquis Wen dare to call ourselves enemies of ten thousand people. A mere foreign tribe is so arrogant. I must learn a lesson or two."

As the president of Lu Bu's support club, Zhang Yang is also a little eager to try:

"Since I entered the grassland, I haven't encountered a large group of foreigners. If I encounter one, I won't let it go."

As Cui Lie's son, Cui Zhouping's impression of the Han Dynasty was still at the stage of weak national power. When he heard the two asking for a battle, he couldn't help but remind him:

"After the aliens obtained salt and iron, their strength increased greatly. Don't underestimate the enemy."

Cheng Yu said with approval:

"Yes, you really can't underestimate the enemy. Except for women and children, all foreigners who are taller than a wheel will be killed to avoid leaving any future troubles."

These words made all the literati present nod in approval. However, the swordsman Shi Tao, who followed Xu Shu to Jingzhou, looked hesitant:

"Will this move... harm Tianhe?"

Cheng Yu took out his mobile phone and showed Shi Tao the photos he had taken in the past:

"This was taken by General Wenyuan and I. The foreigners have always treated the Han people in this way. We are just repaying them in the same way. If even this hurts the world, it means that it is time to change the world."

The photos show Han Chinese who were tortured and killed by foreigners. Many of them were even wearing scribes' robes, so they were obviously scholars.

Scholars who were respected in the Han Dynasty were killed like wild dogs and dumped on the roadside at will, allowing vultures and wild dogs to eat them. Seeing such a scene, even the most peaceful person would go berserk.

Sure enough, after seeing these photos, Shi Tao immediately became a member of the radical faction:

"The aliens deserve to die. I am willing to be the vanguard and take the lead in attacking the alien camp!"

Cheng Yu smiled happily:

"Don't worry, I will formulate an attack plan after the investigation results come out."

Looking at the tragic death of the Han people, the good old man Zhuge Jin also changed his view of the foreign race. Everyone said that life at the border was hard, but they didn't know it was so hard.

He thought for a while and said:

"May I ask Mr. Zhongde, can Jin serve at the border?"

"Yes, Jiuyuan Prefecture is short of talents. You can communicate with General Zhishu and see how he arranges you."

Zhang Yang is the prefect of Jiuyuan, but he is not in the scope of Jiuyuan County now, so he has to be promoted to another identity-General Zhenglu, so that it will not be illegal.

Zhang Yang is very welcome to Zhuge Jin's joining:

"If Zi Yu does not give up, he can first serve as Gongcao Congshi in the prefectural government."

As a newcomer and young, he will first serve as Gongcao Congshi, and then be promoted after he has made meritorious contributions.

Zhuge Jin bowed and saluted, and entered the civil service sequence in this question and answer.

Guo Yan felt that the process of appointing officials and selecting filial and honest officials was still necessary, but when he thought of Cheng Yu, the Xiongnu Lijun, he didn't say much.

Soon, the reconnaissance troops came back and found out the Tuge tribe nearby. Cheng Yu immediately began to formulate an attack plan.

He was a top strategist, and with his experience in fighting foreign races, he quickly arranged the attack plan properly, and everyone present had a combat mission.

Even Guo Yu was responsible for the army's food and grass support and other matters, and also served as the commander of this battle.

In order to give Guo Huai a good growth environment, Cheng Yu also took care of him as much as possible.

After the battle plan was formulated, the army rested on the spot, all kinds of dry food were turned out, and the horses were fed with feed and water.

At midnight, when the bright moonlight enveloped the land of the North, Cheng Yu and others had already led the army to set off. They took advantage of the night and approached a nearby Tuge tribe in a small force raid.

During the entire operation, the drone was always floating over the tribe, monitoring every move inside.

When the sky in the east turned pale, the encirclement was formed. Cheng Yu picked up the intercom and issued a combat order:

"All people wearing armor will be killed, all people holding weapons will be killed, all people on horseback will be killed..."

What's the difference between this and slaughtering one by one... Mu Shun muttered softly and repeated the order to the team he led. Only then did he realize the brilliance of Cheng Yu's order.

The armor of the foreign tribes on the grassland is very scarce. People wearing armor are basically middle-level officers or above. Such people can easily organize people to fight back, so they must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Facing the imperial army from all directions, those who are greedy for life and afraid of death will put down their weapons as soon as possible. Those who dare to pick up weapons definitely have a strong desire to resist. If they are not killed as soon as possible, they will become a disaster sooner or later.

As for the people on horseback, they are either elite cavalry who intend to fight back, or they are ready to inform the nearby tribes. No matter which one it is, they must be killed first to avoid attracting reinforcements and letting the imperial army be attacked from all sides.

These three killing orders can disintegrate the fighting spirit of the aliens to the greatest extent, paralyze their command, and avoid effective counterattacks and riots.

The imperial army from Chang'an has not experienced blood and fire fighting. If they are directly ordered to massacre the aliens, they may not be able to do it.

But with these three orders to warm up, they will be much more receptive.

"Swoosh--"

A scout of the Tuge tribe discovered the army and was about to give a warning when a feather arrow flew from a distance and pierced the scout's head.

Dian Wei in the distance put down the longbow in his hand and picked up the double halberd hanging on the victory hook.

In the past year, he had no chance to go to the battlefield. He could only practice martial arts desperately and asked Lu Zhi and others for archery skills. He did practice a good archery.

Just now, a shot hit the soul, opening the prelude to Dian Wei's killing.

Use bows and arrows at a distance, throw small halberds at thirty steps, and charge directly at a closer distance and take them away with double halberds.

Dian Wei has not been on the battlefield for nearly a year, and he almost forgot the taste of killing.

Crossing the scout area, when the tents of the Tuge tribe were in sight, eight large firefighting drones suddenly lowered their altitude, and gasoline transported from the oil base poured down.

The gasoline rain fell and was quickly ignited by the torches and oil lamps around the tents. The core area of ​​the Tuge tribe suddenly became a sea of ​​fire, and screams were endless.

The young and strong men of the Tuge tribe in the surrounding tents were awakened, and they got out of the tents with sleepy eyes, and found that the imperial army had rushed to the front.

"Who is it? Trespassing into my Tuge tribe camp?"

"Eternal Heaven, kill these lawless Han bandits!"

"We are the Tuge tribe, the Xiongnu royal family, appointed by the late emperor, why rashly attack my camp?"

"..."

No one answered these questions. The imperial army only rushed forward, then raised their weapons and began to harvest what they saw as... military merits.

Some people resisted and were killed; some people wanted to escape and were killed; some people rebuked the Han people's behavior and were also killed.

On a distant hill, Guo Yun watched this scene through a telescope and sighed:

"Whenever there is a shortage of food, they will harass the Han people like this, robbing food and women. Now God has opened his eyes and retribution has finally fallen on their heads."

Cheng Yu lit a cigarette and took a slow puff:

"In the future, this will be the basic strategy of my Han Dynasty to treat foreign races. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. If he robs my city, I will kill his tribe; if he massacres my county, I will destroy his race!"

After several major battles, the intensity of the encirclement and suppression war in front of him no longer interested Cheng Yu.

He set his sights on Dai County east of Yanmen:

"It is said that there are also massacred tribes there?"

Guo Yu replied:

"Yes, there are not only Tuge tribes, but also Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Black Mountain bandits. It's a mixed bag. Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, treats foreigners well, and Dai County has gradually become a base for foreigners."

When Cheng Yu heard this, he ordered the general in charge of intelligence survey:

"Lead a thousand troops to investigate in Dai County. After we eliminate the Yanmen Tuge tribe, we will march eastward."

Mr. Wenhe's order is to eat up the Tuge tribe, not to eliminate one or two branches, so all the foreigners of the Tuge tribe on the Bingzhou grassland must be captured, and no fish can slip through the net.

As for Liu Yu's attitude in Youzhou, this is not the business of our Xiongnu Zhonglang.

If he has any opinions, he can either write to the court or go to Chang'an to debate with Mr. Wenhe in person. If he dares to send troops, then our Xiongnu Zhonglang Jiang will have to exercise his duty to protect the Xiongnu.

The position of the General of the Central Army of the Xiongnu was originally established to protect the surrendered Southern Xiongnu from being bullied. If Liu Yu dared to send troops, Cheng Yu would dare to destroy Liu Yu's army in the name of protecting the Xiongnu.

Almost all the positions set up by the Han Dynasty for foreign ethnic groups were for protection.

For example, the Protector of the Qiang in the Xiliang area and the Nanman in the southwest area were all used to divide and win over in the name of protection to achieve the purpose of weakening strength.

In the camp of the Tuge tribe, Dian Wei was leading his men to advance, and suddenly a shirtless nine-foot strong man rushed over from a distance. He rode a black horse, holding a mace in his hand, and killed left and right in the court army, as if he was in an empty space.

Is this the Ten Thousand Enemies of the Tuge tribe... Dian Wei took a look and immediately put down the mask of the infantry armor and rushed over with a double halberd.

The man saw that Dian Wei's armor was unusual, and guessed that he was a general, and he also rushed over with a wow.

When the Tuge tribe's foreigners saw this man, they started to make strange noises, cheering for the strong man and cheering themselves on.

They were looking forward to the strong man leading everyone out of the encirclement and even killing the imperial army.

However, just as they were fantasizing, they saw that the nine-foot strong man holding the mace was beheaded as soon as he met.

The Tuge tribe's ten thousand enemies didn't even last a round in front of the Han Dynasty's ten thousand enemies. The Tuge tribe people who were just shouting and cheering were like having their valve cores pulled out, and they no longer had the mind to resist.

Dian Wei picked up his head and threw it aside:

"I thought only the Han Dynasty's scholars liked to exaggerate, but I didn't expect the foreigners to be so boastful."

After saying that, he picked up the double halberds with great dissatisfaction and rushed into the Tuge tribe's foreigners who were screaming just now.

Since the contestants are not strong enough, let's send the cheerleaders away.

When the day was bright, the battle was coming to an end. Cheng Yu rode over and saw the captives of this battle, about three or four thousand people.

He found a few foreigners who understood the official language of the Han Dynasty and asked them carefully about the means to deal with the Han people, such as distributing women according to their merits, killing all men who were taller than the wheels, and dragging those who were not dead back to be slaves...

While talking, several soldiers pushed the carriage and showed the wheels. Cheng Yu waved his hand and said to the foreign captives:

"Deal with your own people according to your standards. The tent with the most murders can survive."

The nomadic peoples are centered on tents, and each tent is a family. Cheng Yu was too lazy to do it himself, so he used this method of using barbarians to control barbarians, and let them openly attack their own people.

All the brave people had been eliminated, and the rest were those who wanted to surrender and survive. They were even ready to be slaves.

However, Cheng Yu would not give them a chance to survive, and just wanted to watch these people die.

In order not to delay time, Dian Wei also asked people to throw a lot of captured weapons into the prisoner camp.

At first, Guo Yu was worried that these people would organize to fight back after getting weapons, but he didn't expect that the moment they received the scimitars, they attacked their compatriots.

The tribes that had just fought side by side soon slaughtered each other in order to survive.

There were many people and few weapons. In order to save their own family members, several elderly captives chose to block the weapons with their bodies and then take them away, even at the cost of their lives.

Those who didn't get weapons would not sit and wait for death. They used fists, teeth and other weapons to attack the people around them.

Some people had their noses bitten off, some had their ears bitten off, and some had their arms broken, with bone fragments directly exposed to the air.

The strong people directly picked up their fellow tribesmen as weapons, smashed them randomly, and organs and internal organs flew all over the sky. It looked very scary, and the whole prisoner camp seemed like hell on earth.

The officials from Chang'an had a clearer understanding of Cheng Yu's cruelty, while Dian Wei, Zhang Yang, Mu Shun and other generals were very excited about it. They also discussed it in a low voice and planned to replicate it when they had the chance.

There were more and more corpses in the prisoner camp, and fewer and fewer living foreigners.

Finally, when the number of people dropped below 100, Cheng Yu waved his hand again:

"As the Lieutenant General of the Xiongnu who protects foreigners, I cannot watch my brothers of foreign races being bullied... Archers, shoot!"

When they were almost killing each other, Cheng Yu performed the duties of the Lieutenant General of the Xiongnu and directly took away all the remaining people with bows and arrows.

There was no one alive in the entire prisoner camp.

In the sky, the great master Xuandu looked at this scene and frowned and said:

"This guy is too cruel, isn't he afraid of attracting divine punishment?"

Zhang Daoling grabbed a handful of tangerine peel peanuts and ate them slowly:

"The Holy Son likes him and thinks that Cheng Zhongde has played the bloody courage of the Han people's foreign conquests."

Hearing this, Xuandu shamelessly changed the subject:

"Although it is a bit cruel, it is for the prosperity of the human race after all, and we have to act in an emergency... It's a pity that Changshengtian has been hiding his head and not coming out, so I don't even have a chance to earn merit."

Helplessly, Xuandu asked Zhang Daoling for a bag of tangerine peel peanuts and started eating.

They can't participate in the fights of mortals, otherwise it will lead to a series of causes and effects, so they can only focus on Changshengtian, but Changshengtian didn't come out, which made Xuandu a little anxious.

Zhang Daoling said:

"When the Water Margin Yue Fei world fights the Wanyan family, the shamans of the fishing and hunting ethnic groups should jump out, and then Brother Dao can show his skills and give them a good beating."

"I hope the shaman will not be a coward... To be honest, except for my higher realm, more magic weapons, and stronger magical powers, I am very ordinary in other aspects. Changshengtian is too cowardly. Can't he rush over to fight me like a man? I really despise him!"

After taking Chinese medicine for a few days, the cold symptoms have basically disappeared, but I am still afraid of cold. Recently, Henan has been hot, and my room is more than 30 degrees, but I have to wear a fleece sweater to feel normal. I have done various tests and the data is normal. I feel that I should use Chinese medicine to regulate it. I can only update once recently. Brothers, I am sorry, I am really sorry!
