Chapter 11 Recover the two states, lead the army alone
Wang Jing, Han Lingkun, Luo Youdu and Zhang Jianxiong, the vanguard of this battle, walked on the chaotic battlefield.
Luo Youdu looked at the soldiers beside him cleaning up the messy battlefield.
Although he had not been to the battle in person this time, it gave him a different feeling.
When these two armies clash, strength will prevail.
The army's own quality combat effectiveness and fighting spirit are what truly determine the situation of the war.
No matter how many foreshadowings Wang Jing and Han Lingkun had laid before this, the key to victory was the Zhou soldiers' nearly crushing combat power that defeated the four villages in one battle.
This is also the reason why military strategists of all ages have admired military management.
Only when the army is strong can we fight with tactics and strategies.
If the army is weak, even if there is a huge opportunity, it may not be able to seize it.
"In one hour, four villages were defeated in a row. In less than half a day, Han Jixun was forced into a desperate situation. I heard that when General Zhang was charging, he accidentally broke the long spear in his hand. He grabbed the enemy's gun with his bare hands and continued the battle, killing more than fifty people. It was really a big deal.
The spirit of Tang Hu’s general Wei Chi’s Jingde.”
Luo Youdu praised Zhang Jianxiong without hesitation.
As a supervisor, his praise is very valuable.
According to unwritten rules, the military supervisor will write a battle report about his experiences in the army and submit it to the Privy Council to prevent the commander from unclear rewards and punishments and misappropriating his achievements.
In addition to referring to the merit book written by the general, the post-war rewards will also refer to the battle report of Luo Youdu, the supervisor of the army.
The value of this battle report is no less than the merit book, and it is the main reference for promotion of generals.
The attitude of superior officials is often in the direction of lower officials. Zhang Jianxiong and Luo Youdu had no intersection, but as Luo Youdu became closer to Wang Jing and Han Lingkun, officers like Zhang Jianxiong who were subordinate to them naturally did not, let alone
Dare to look aloof.
Luo Youdu was the best at drawing big cakes. He did not have a close relationship with Zhang Jianxiong and the others. He only praised them a few times during the conversation and revealed that his battle report would give them a chance to show their faces and asked them to perform well.
Who would be at odds with his own achievements and future?
There is no need for Luo Youdu to take the initiative, they will come up on their own.
Zhang Jianxiong laughed from ear to ear when he heard Luo Youdu compare himself with his idol, and loudly said: "Thank you, Inspector Luo, for your praise!"
Luo Youdu smiled and said nothing. He knew that Zhang Jianxiong was from Shanyang, Shuozhou, and the same hometown as Yuchi Jingde.
The ancients had deep feelings for their hometown and worshiped the heroes in their hometown.
He did not mention Lu Bu, Guan and Zhang, let alone Qin Qiong, but Yuchi Jingde.
It is indeed more miraculous.
This battle was a great victory. Wang Jing was in a happy mood and said with joy: "Han Jixun forced us into a corner of the mountain and was resisting. Because Zhao Jizha escaped before the battle, the mighty city was in chaos and was occupied by our army. Han Jixun was also captured.
My nephew Han Meng is escorting him to persuade Han Jixun to surrender."
"I can finally give an explanation to my superiors. I have allowed me to carry the Privy Council for so long, and I have finally lived up to my trust."
Luo Youdu said without hesitation: "I have no doubt about Brother Wang's ability. By the way, Brother Wang can ask Han Meng to tell Han Jixun about Zhao Jizha's escape to Chengdu. In this way, Han Jixun can only
Surrender all the way."
Han Jixun and Zhao Jizha are in such trouble that only one of them can survive.
Someone must take the blame for the failure.
Zhao Jizha ran so fast, not necessarily because he was afraid of Zhou Bing, but more because he was afraid of Han Jixun.
If Han Jixun really wanted to escape back to Weiwu City, the first thing he would do would most likely be to kill Zhao Jizha, throw the blame on him, accuse him of giving random orders, and then defend the city.
But now Zhao Jizha has run away and returned to Chengdu. Everyone knows that Zhao Jizha will definitely file a complaint in front of Meng Chang and blame him.
As a foreign minister, Han Jixun was not as favored as Zhao Jizha. Let him complain first. Even if Han Jixun escaped their interception with his life, he would not be able to survive the sanction of defeat.
There is no way out except surrender.
In the past, Wang Jing would either disobey or want to hear the reason.
Now Wang Jing made the arrangements without thinking.
After learning that Zhao Jizha had fled back to Chengdu, Han Jixun also understood his situation and chose to surrender.
At the same time, he also took the initiative to persuade Wang Wandi, the governor of Fengzhou, to surrender.
Han Jixun was more active than anyone else in changing his appearance and performing meritorious service for the new master to prove his own worth.
Fengzhou's military strength was not strong enough to resist the Zhou army, and Wang Wandi also knew that his son had married Han Jixun's daughter. Now that Han Jixun had surrendered, even if he was trapped in the isolated city, he would no longer be trusted by Meng Chang.
What's more, are there any comparability between Guo Rong and Meng Chang?
Wang Wandi had almost no extra considerations, chose the right tree to rest, and returned to the Zhou Dynasty.
Qinzhou and Fengzhou were recovered almost at the same time.
If you don't sing, you will be a blockbuster.
Meng Chang, who was far away in Chengdu, finally began to panic, and finally made the right response, sending generals Li Tinggui and Gao Yanchou to support Chengzhou and Jiezhou respectively.
Li Tinggui and Gao Yanchou were newly promoted generals in Sichuan, and they were far from comparable to Han Jixun.
Fengzhou Town is located on the southern slope of the Qinling Mountains, at the intersection of the Anhe River and the Jialing River. There is Phoenix Mountain in the east. According to legend, a phoenix soared here in ancient times and got its name.
During the Three Kingdoms period, this place was called Wudu County. During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition in the seventh year of Jianxing's reign, he captured Wudu and Yinping County. Fengzhou was a fortress in Wudu County.
The remaining Chengzhou and Jiezhou that the Zhou army did not attack were Yinping County during the Three Kingdoms period.
As long as we capture Chengzhou, Jiezhou, the borders of Later Zhou and Later Shu, it will be like the defense line deployed by Cao Wei in Shuhan during the Three Kingdoms period.
Wang Jing, Han Lingkun, and Luo Youdu gathered in the Fengzhou government office meeting hall.
The heavy rain fell in front of the hall, and from time to time it jumped over the threshold and splashed into the hall.
The relationship between the three of them is very harmonious now, especially this big victory, which was the result of their mutual cooperation and further promoted their friendship.
Wang Jing said: "Jiezhou is very mountainous, and my soldiers are out of Qinchuan. Leave Jiezhou to me!"
Han Lingkun also said: "Then I will go down and get Chengzhou."
Wang Jing looked at Luo Youdu and asked, "How about brother Luo staying in Fengzhou?"
Luo Youdu understood what he meant and said: "Leave the rear to me. Capturing Qin and Feng Prefectures is just the beginning. The real test is waiting for us."
"In the rainy season, Chencang Road is difficult to travel. Transporting food is a big problem. As I said before, the two brothers only focus on defeating the enemy in the front. There is no need to worry about everything behind."
Wang Jing and Han Lingkun had no objections to this, and they unanimously recognized Luo Youdu's ability.
Han Lingkun continued: "We need to prevent the Shu army from directly attacking Fengzhou from Xingyuan Mansion. If Fengzhou is lost, our retreat will be cut off."
Wang Jingdao: "It's simple. You and I can each allocate some troops and horses to Brother Luo. With my talents, it is more than enough to defend Fengzhou."
Han Lingkun also had no objection.
Luo Youdu smiled and said: "Two brothers, how can I disobey you if you think so highly of me?"
Wang Jing continued: "I will leave Zhang Jianxiong to you as well. You two have a good relationship. It will be easier to command him."
Luo Youdu was even more delighted: "Thank you so much, Brother Wang."
