Chapter 797 Killing the Barbarian Army
The Yan family army gradually became famous in Leshan Prefecture.
The people spread the word and called them the Shaman Army.
Yan Yu occasionally crossed the border and went to Xizhou Prefecture to plunder the few remaining Xirong.
After a few times, the imperial army also heard about it.
They were amazed at the various deeds of this Shaman Army.
For example, they not only rescued the people, but also took these people around. Don’t they think it’s a burden?
And when the Shaman Army encountered a large number of Xirong, they asked the imperial army for help. It was really unreserved.
For the Xirong, the imperial army had just adapted to their barbaric and swift fighting style.
They had a hard time dealing with the Xirong’s usual tactics of not confronting them head-on.
They were all away games. The imperial army was stationed in a city on the border of Xizhou Prefecture, using it as a base to advance to the entire territory of Xizhou.
The Xirong relied on their long horses and set fires everywhere in Xizhou.
In terms of familiarity with Xizhou Prefecture, these barbarians outside the pass are more familiar with it than the regular army of the court.
Panda, the Duke of Anguo who led the army to suppress the rebellion, is one of the only two or three top families in the court who were awarded the title of Duke for military merit, inherited the title, and held military power.
The first time the Yan family army sent people to ask for help, it was because he was curious, called people over and asked a few questions, and then sent troops to eat up a Xirong team of nearly a thousand people.
After that, these barbarians seemed to have long braids behind them, and they were always caught by the Yan family army.
Panda became more interested in the Yan family army.
At his height, there was nothing in the world that he couldn't figure out.
Soon, the details of the Yan family army were investigated clearly.
Including the document signed by the Yan family army and the people, it was displayed in front of him word for word.
"A son as a general? To farm and store food?" Panda shook the paper in his hand, and the armor on his body rubbed and clanged.
"Interesting!"
"Father, the King of England's move is suspected of competing with the people for profit..."
Panda's sharp eyes turned sideways, and his voice was calm: "What do you want to say?"
"The King of Wu has always been close to the Duke's Mansion, and my elder sister..."
Panda snorted coldly and interrupted him: "Your elder sister was drugged by the King of Wu, and she was married and obeyed her husband. She did it thoroughly, and she was devoted to the King of Wu's Mansion. How could she forget her origins? How can the huge family business of our Duke's Mansion be completely suppressed by Wu because of her blindfolded King."
"Put away your thoughts. Your Majesty knows today that the Duke of Anguo Mansion has sided with a certain prince. We, father and son, don't know whether we can see the day of the eastward march tomorrow morning."
"Father, how can it be like this..." The young general looked embarrassed, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, and whispered: "This is the merit of following the dragon."
"Shut up!" Panda shouted: "Come here, give this rebellious son twenty military sticks!"
Immediately, a personal soldier stepped forward, held the young general's arms and dragged him out.
"Father!"
"Shut up!" Panda said coldly.
The personal guards were unambiguous and did not show mercy at all because of the young general's identity.
Soon, the sound of military sticks came from outside.
The sticks hit the flesh.
Occasionally, there was a muffled groan.
The Duke of Anguo looked normal and picked up the pen to write in running script.
"Pass on my order, order Pan Zheng to lead 5,000 soldiers to cooperate with the Guanzhou army to camp in Xiao'an to clear out the remaining Western Rong in Guanzhong, and send troops tomorrow."
Pan Zheng, who was beaten with 20 military sticks, had just finished eating when he heard the military order, and his face turned pale and black.
He went to see his father, but was refused entry.
Duke Anguo asked his personal guards to pass on the message.
Let him recognize his identity. In the military camp, military orders are the sky. Disobeying military orders is not as simple as 20 military sticks.
"Recognize your identity?" Pan Zheng endured the pain, straightened his back, turned around and left.
...
Yan Yu no longer took the people around.
Today, the Yan family army has several bases in Leshan Prefecture.
There are many mountains and few farmlands in Leshan Prefecture, so the location of the base does not need to be thought about. Wherever there are more farmlands, camp nearby.
The people's minds are very simple, and they don't ask for much, just a meal and a place to stay.
After Yan Laoer and Yan Yu discussed, they decided to be more humane and not force them to go to Guanzhou. Those who wanted to stay could stay, as long as they were near the base and could spontaneously organize militia to patrol and warn.
However, the people of Leshan, who had never experienced the scourge of the barbarians outside the pass, were obviously frightened. They were still thinking about the few acres of thin land at home. The Yan family army signed a contract to help them plant, and they just followed and did what they could. The Yan family army said that they would take care of their food and not let them go hungry, and they would give up the military camp for them to live.
The people of Leshan kept saying that God had opened his eyes.
They all chose to leave to avoid disaster.
Anyway, there was a document, and it was clearly written on it that the Yan family army only helped to plant the land, and the land was still theirs. Moreover, those who signed the contract did not have to pay taxes, and they took care of their stomachs. After calculating, they still took advantage.
No one questioned whether the Yan family army could fulfill its promise.
Ever since they were rescued from the sword of the barbarians, they followed them all the way, and saw and heard that there was no one more kind-hearted than the Yan family army.
The father and son of the Yan family were both great good people.
"General Yan, we don't have much food left." Liang Fengnian said seriously.
"Go and rob the barbarians again!" The little dog was excited.
The big dog pushed him and whispered, "The barbarians have also learned their lesson. The seizures have become less and less in recent times."
Yes, the barbarians have also grown brains.
The reputation of killing the barbarian army is more famous among them than among the people of Leshan.
Not to mention that after three months, almost all the Xirong in Leshan Prefecture were killed by them.
Even if there were still some, they only brought some rations with them.
Unlike the early days, they could seize bags of food.
"What is that little General Pan doing?" Yan Yu asked.
Qi Da said in a buzzing voice: "That kid went to see our land again."
Qi Si and Qi Wu looked nervous.
In the eyes of the honest Qi brothers, those fields with signed deeds belonged to them, to their Yan family army, and to their brothers Yan Er and Xiao Er who rented the land and paid rations as rent.
Not to mention the distant past, 70% of the harvest that year belonged to their Yan family army.
A full 70%!
It was rare that Leshan Prefecture had good weather today, and some of the green seedlings in the fields had begun to turn yellow.
This was a sign of a good harvest.
They don't even have time to take care of their own land. They worry about this place every day, killing barbarians and planting at the same time. They are so busy that they have no time to rest. Wait a minute, the autumn harvest will be here soon!
That kid surnamed Pan has a cunning look in his eyes.
Since he led 5,000 people here, he said he was helping, but in their eyes, these people are here to steal the credit.
In the past, they killed the barbarians, and all the credit and heads belonged to them.
But when this kid surnamed Pan came, they had to share with him.
Accustomed to eating alone, the Yan family army inevitably didn't have a good face for these 5,000 people.
But they camped in the same place, and they would see each other if they looked up or down.
Speaking of camping together, Yan Yu had her own considerations.
It was convenient for management and for her to know their every move.
Since they came to help, she accepted them without hesitation and used them when they should.
As for dividing the credit and heads.
To be honest, she was also considering her prince.
There are too many heads, and she was really afraid that the King of England would be under a lot of pressure. (End of this chapter)
