Chapter 620 The destruction of the country is launched again
With Su Lie's defeat of Han Sui, it also gave Li Xiang a good start in the war. This time Li Xiang launched an attack on Yongliang Prefecture at the same time. His targets were Yang Jian, Fu Jian, Ma Teng,
Han Sui and these four people.
Now, even just defeating the weakest Han Sui marks that this war has taken a crucial step.
However, the next battle was not so easy to fight. In the past, Su Lie was able to quickly take down Han Sui. On the one hand, Su Lie took action decisively with lightning speed, cutting off Han Sui's territory from the other two.
Connections between power territories.
On the other hand, Han Sui is really weak. The only civil servants who can show off are Han Qixian and Cheng Gongying, and the only powerful general who can show off is Yan Xing.
The commander-in-chief is even worse.
Facing Su Lie's lineup, Su Lie used 100,000 against 40,000, so he could easily eliminate Han Sui.
As for the two people they have to deal with next, Ma Teng, Fu Jian and even Yang Jian, their talent lineup is no less different than that of Han Sui. In fact, when the princes from all sides are put together, in terms of lineup, they are not necessarily as good as Li Xiang.
How much weaker.
Coupled with the interference from the Guandong princes, it is impossible for Li Xiang to achieve his final goal without going through several bloody battles.
Of course, the benefit of this battle was not only the destruction of Han Sui, Su Lie himself also received huge benefits.
According to Yang Jian's edict a few years ago, every prince in the world was given a throne, and no matter how small he was, he was given the position of a duke. But Han Sui, who was just a duke, could also have his own fiefdom.
It's just that in the troubled times, the princes did not establish a country in name. After all, these are not as important as the territory you actually occupied. In other words, how big the territory you occupy is, then, the country you established
That's how big it can be.
It is precisely because of this that Su Lie's country-destroying skills exploded again.
"Ding, the effect of Su Lie's country-destroying skill is activated three times. Every time a country is destroyed when he is the leader, all four dimensions will be permanently +1. This effect can be activated three times.
This is the second time now. Su Lie’s four dimensions have risen to Commander 101, Force 102, Intelligence 89, and Politics 72.”
With the second burst of Su Lie's country-destroying skill three, this means that Li Xiang has one more god-level commander.
Statistics after the war showed that Han Sui had nearly 40,000 troops in this battle, captured 8,000 cavalry, 13,000 infantry, captured Han Sui generals Liang Xing, Cheng Yin, Han Sui general candidates, Yan Xing surrendered, and the rest of Han Sui's forces
Almost all the important figures died in this battle.
In this battle, Su Lie's army only lost less than 4,000 troops. This was mainly because Jincheng could be said to have been directly destroyed by Su Lie's continuous bombardment by trebuchets, thus avoiding the largest casualties in the siege.
a link of.
After the war, Su Lie immediately integrated the prisoners in this battle. After all, these were more than 20,000 Liangzhou elites. Next, their test of this battle officially came, which required the use of a large number of troops.
At that time, it was naturally impossible to turn a blind eye to the more than 20,000 prisoners. If the more than 20,000 prisoners were used properly, it would help them reduce very heavy casualties.
This process was not difficult to carry out. With the help of Yan Xing and Candidate, two former generals of Han Sui's army, and the two generals Liang Xing and Cheng Yin also expressed their willingness to surrender, the task of integrating the prisoners was indeed easy.
a lot of.
Moreover, in order to strengthen the control of this surrendered army, Su Lie first gathered all the family members of this surrendered army for management, and then divided this surrendered army into units. Among each unit, one person would make trouble, and ten people would make trouble.
Kill them all, and their families will also be implicated.
Of course, after hitting a stick, you must also give a sweet date. Only with a combination of kindness and power can you truly conquer the heart of this surrendering soldier.
Therefore, Su Lie promised that as long as their army fought bravely, he would give them everything a normal army in Li Xiang's army should have.
Li Xiang's army actually has military pay, but it is not much, less than ten cents a month, but this is a huge difference compared to other princes who have nothing.
In addition, at the end of each year, each soldier can also receive half a stone of food and grass, which according to current terms, is about thirty kilograms.
Even in order to mobilize the morale of this surrendered army, Su Lie distributed military pay and food to this army in advance. Of course, the reason why Su Lie was so generous was that it was not his money anyway. After conquering Jincheng,
Thirty thousand shi of food and grass alone were captured, not to mention other money.
As soon as this move came out, the morale of the surrendered army was greatly boosted, and it became much easier to command.
After a few days of rest and recuperation, and having dealt with the problem of surrendering an army, it was time for Su Lie to arrange the next battle plan. After all, this is where the real test of this war will come.
Moreover, Su Lie has received the news that 30,000 reinforcements sent by Yang Jian, headed by Yu Juluo and Lu Bu, have arrived. Although the arrival of Yu Wen Chengdu and Jia Fu immediately followed, it also greatly strengthened Bai Qi's strong generals.
strength, but this cannot change the disparity in military strength between the two sides.
Therefore, after dealing with the problems here, Su Lie must lead his troops back as soon as possible to help Bai Qi deal with Fu Jian and Ma Teng.
Therefore, on the one hand, Su Lie asked Feng Yi to take charge, with Luo Yi and Luo Cheng as assistants, leading 10,000 infantry and cavalry, plus 7,000 surrender troops to lead troops to conquer Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang counties in the west of Liangzhou.
On the one hand, Su Lie led 86,000 infantry and cavalry, plus 14,000 surrender troops, a total of 100,000 troops, heading towards Hanyang and Longxi.
As ordered, Li Xiang has occupied the two counties of Wuwei and Jincheng in Liangzhou, which has just divided Liangzhou into two halves. Su Lie can already do whatever he wants in the three counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang in the west of Liangzhou.
Although there are only three counties in Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang, while Liangzhou has ten counties, these three counties alone are almost half the size of Liangzhou.
However, Liangzhou is already considered poor enough among the Han states, but these three counties are the poorest among the counties in Liangzhou. In addition, the land is vast and sparsely populated, so no big power is willing to do so.
Occupying these places, there are only some small forces that can't get on the stage.
Previously, even though Ma Teng and Han Sui had nominally established control over these three counties, they actually paid no attention to these three counties. At most, they only occasionally went over to recruit young men and recruit some troops.
