Before Wang Pu left, he went to Xingzhou again to confer with Lu Huaizhong, the governor of the Taining Army, as a servant.
However, Lu Huaizhong had already gone to Beizhou, so Wang Pu pursued him again.
Beizhou is a large county in Hebei, with many registered residences and prosperous commerce. The southeast of the city is adjacent to Yongji Canal, with Qinghe and Qingyang County under Guo. The land is an important water and land transportation thoroughfare. In the early days of the Republic of China, a large amount of military supplies were stored in Beizhou City.
It was prepared for military use in Hebei Province and was named "Tian Xia Bei Ku".
Since the difficult times, Weibo Town is located in the more prosperous and prosperous Weizhou. However, as the second most prosperous place in Weibo Town, Beizhou is still the most important storage place for military reserves. The special town will be responsible for the drama.
It's called "The city is strong and there are many soldiers".
There is Linqing County sixty miles southwest of Beizhou, and Yongji Canal is adjacent to the west. It is an important town between Wei and Beizhou. In the past hundred years, a permanent town has been set up to contain the envoys and command troops to guard it.
Fifty miles southwest of Linqing, there is Yongji County. The county seat is very large and is divided into east and west Guo. Dongguo is on the east bank of Yongji Canal, and Yongji Canal passes through the city in Xiguo. There is Hebei's famous commercial and trade center "Zhangqiaoxing".
city".
Another point that must be mentioned is that Beizhou's "Qinghe Silk" is the best in the world. Not only is the quality good, but the output is also one of the best. One county can equal the output of several counties in the south of the Yangtze River. It is an extremely important source of wealth for Wei Bo.
Lu Huaizhong tried to attack Beizhou, and found that there were still soldiers in the city, mainly state and county soldiers, as well as conscripted local peasants. The total number was nearly 10,000, and they were not capable of fighting in the field, but they were able to defend the city.
There are many soldiers inside and outside Linqing County. After torture and interrogation of the prisoners, it was learned that they were mainly Shi Renyu's troops from the outer towns who were transferred early last month, soldiers from other counties and counties, and countrymen from the local regiment, totaling 15,000 to 6,000
, I have a lot of savings and it’s hard to get rid of them.
As a result, Lu Huaizhong decisively mobilized the rested and reorganized Wuwei Army to come up and divide the counties.
On the Double Ninth Festival, they captured Jingcheng County in the northwest corner of Beizhou and killed more than 5,000 thieves.
-
It sounds unbelievable that a small county town killed so many "thieves", but most of them were killed after breaking the city. The thieves were stubborn, and the mere villagers dared to hold on and refused to surrender, causing Lu Huaizhong to pay heavy casualties.
.Shao Shude ordered that after the city was breached, all the Ding Zhuang men who had taken turns to guard the city would be killed as an example.
Lu Huaizhong couldn't bear it, but he still carried out the plan resolutely.
Not surprisingly, after the news of the massacre spread, some people in the countryside of Jingcheng County also made trouble and attacked the Xia army's transportation team. Lu Huaizhong had to divide his troops to suppress it.
Lu Huaizhong was naturally dissatisfied with his troops being divided thinly, and raised objections, believing that Wei Bo should be treated softly, but Shao Shude refused and asked him to eliminate all thieves who dared to resist even if the progress was slower.
At the same time, Huo Liangsi's troops on the left wing of the Xiaojie Army far away in the river have arrived at Zhiguan, and will later join the Weibo battlefield for the second phase of the battle, which involves fighting and pulling. But the first phase is undoubtedly a battle.
!
After Wang Pu traveled east from Xingzhou, he saw a large number of corpses lying dead on the road.
The four states of Wei and Bo were recruiting a large number of troops to make up for the war losses. Many people were closely connected with the warriors, running east or south. Those who stayed were also given official positions, such as recruiting envoys, traveling envoys, and suppressing envoys.
, Defense Envoy, hats are flying all over the sky.
As long as you have courage, charisma, and can raise a team, you can immediately get an official position and apply for a job. Sometimes you can also get some equipment, food and grass support. The old militia groups are armed everywhere, and careerists have emerged one after another.
Most of these people were the militia troops that were wiped out.
"It is not a pity to die for a thing born from the brain." Lu Huaizhong, a warrior, could not bear to kill too much, but Wang Pu applauded the death of Wei Bo's people, as if the two of them had read the wrong script.
"Back then, when Jiujiedu besieged Xiangzhou, hundreds of thousands of victorious troops were suddenly defeated. How could they suddenly be defeated?" Wang Pu sighed: "If An Qingxu and Shi Siming's troops had been annihilated in one battle, the world would have been peaceful long ago. What a pity! What a pain.
!”
There is no official in the imperial court who does not hold a grudge against Anshi.
Although Wang Pu defected to Shao Shude, it was because Shao Shude was now the new central government and the new court. He only supported the central court, regardless of the name of the court.
He regarded Shao Shude as a saint and alienated Xia Jun into the Shence Army at its peak. The game between the central court and the separatist vassal towns must come to an end. Wei Bo, as the biggest thorn in the early stage of the separatist forces, saw them die.
Wang Pu was very pleased.
"They are all pure saints who have gone astray." The new Xingzhou Governor followed.
Chapter 61: Cruel
He shook his head and sighed, unable to bear to look any further.
Wang Tuan used to be the prime minister and traveled between Chang'an and Luoyang many times. Because he traveled so much, he saw Shao Shude's great efforts in restoring agricultural production in Henan, Shaanxi and Guo, and his heart was gradually shaken.
Some people don't do practical things, but rely on others to praise them as "courtesy and virtuous corporal". After posting a few posts asking for virtuous people, they are called "gentlemen", "virtuous people" and "Ming Gong".
But Wang Tuan, a veteran in officialdom, has the most vicious vision, and this little trick cannot fool him. Shao Shude is often criticized by others, and many people criticize him. He never denies his origin as a vulgar martial artist, and his image is not good. But Wang Tuan
After Tuan carefully learned about his major measures in improving people's lives, restoring agricultural production, and promoting commercial circulation, he knew that this was a man who did practical things, and he was filled with praise - it is not easy to attract the hearts of these old men in officialdom!
From then on, Wang Tuan stopped speaking ill of Shao Shude in public. This aroused the resentment of the saint and led to his dismissal as prime minister. To be honest, with the speed of changing prime ministers nowadays, Wang Tuan didn't have much time.
It's day.
After he was dismissed as prime minister, Wang Tuan decisively ran away with his bucket and served in the Hezhong shogunate. This time he was appointed governor of Xingzhou, which showed his trust.
"What Wang Shijun said is wrong. In the past, Tian Chengsi rebelled against the imperial court and counted all the men with household registrations. All the able-bodied men were recruited into the army and went into battle to fight. The old and the weak cultivated the fields and provided military supplies. In the whole town, every man was counted.
, are all traitors.
Wang Pu said.
Wang Tuan was born in the Langya Wang family and was a descendant of Wang Dao, the founding father of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Therefore, Wang Pu was quite polite to him, otherwise he might have started driving.
Wang Tuan smiled and did not argue with him.
Everyone is for the stability of the world, but the definition of this world is different. In Wang Tuan's eyes, Hebei is also one of the worlds, but in Wang Pu's eyes, maybe it is different?
If you don't regard the people of Hebei as one of your own, how can they think of you as one of their own? Wang Tuan sighed secretly.
After arriving at the camp in the west of Beizhou City, Lu Huaizhong did not meet him immediately because he went to comfort the wounded soldiers. General Shao Shenjian came out and said directly: "Bring the book making, it's not an important thing anyway.
I still don’t know if it will be useful in a few months…
Well, although this is true, it is too straightforward and does not give face to the saint. However, Wang Pu and Wang Tuan have long been accustomed to it. Since the difficult times, the warriors often do not give face to the court or the saint.
Face, what can I do?
"General Shao, Weizhou has prepared some arrows, wound medicine, and armor. I have recruited civilians to transport them. They need to be delivered to the camp. Look," Wang Tuan stepped forward and said.
Arrows and wound medicine are consumables, and they have always been the bulk of the demand on the front line.
Most of the armor is leather armor, which is said to be shipped from northern Guan. Good-quality leather armor is not cheap to make, and its protective power is not bad. In fact, most of the Xia army warriors are equipped with leather armor, which is the same on the battlefield.
It’s easy to use. It’s impossible and unnecessary for everyone to have iron armor.
Upon hearing this, Shao Shenjian called a general over and asked him to find someone to inspect and deliver the goods. Then he asked: "Your Majesty, are the civilians escorting the military supplies capable of fighting? Do they have all the equipment?"
Wang Tuan told the truth after hearing this: "In the three states of Xingluoci, there has been a great war, and the people have been dispersed. In the past two years, strong and brave people have been recruited for Hedong. I am afraid that they will disappoint General Shao. These common people are not like
The common people of Weibo cannot fight. They are also in dire need of instruments. Those who have three kinds of bows, knives and spears, only one out of five."
"Trash!" Shao Shenjian scolded mercilessly. At the same time, he was a little proud. He was from Weizhou and often boasted of his martial prowess. He especially looked down on people like Xing Luoci who were loyal to the imperial court and under the rule of the vassal town.
"General Shao wants Mrs. Xingzhou to go into battle? To be honest, it's a bit difficult. It's just causing casualties." Wang Tuanzhou had just been devastated by the war, and his bones and blood were taken away by Li Keyong. It was already very difficult, could he not
It is better to go into battle or not to go into battle.
"Go into battle?" Shao Shenjian laughed loudly and said: "There is no need for them yet. Xiangwei has recruited more than ten thousand brave people from the countryside to help in the battle, why do we need the old and weak Xingzhou? But we have captured many Beizhou prisoners and want to evacuate them.
There were actually a lot of people captured in Beizhou, tens of thousands in total. Most of them were local warriors who licked blood with their swords and wanted to win wealth. There were even a few town envoys and soldiers and horse envoys among them. I don’t know why this ghost place is so...
More "generals".
According to the highest instructions of King Xia
Chapter 61: Cruel
According to the instructions, all the captured Wei soldiers and their families were sent to the south to enrich the Jianghan Plain with primitive and wild scenery. They would use their sweat and even their lives to develop this future imperial granary.
Of course, not everyone will be sent to the south. Those who are particularly stubborn and unruly will be sent to Luoyang to build a palace city and undergo "reform through labor" on the construction site.
It is conceivable that this policy is not benevolent, it can even be said to be cruel, and it will inevitably arouse strong resistance from the people of Weibo.
But Shao Shude had made up his mind. He really hated these rebellious people and made up his mind to consume Wei Bo's potential for rebellion.
Historically, the massacre of Wei Bo did not end until the Later Jin Dynasty. Mercy at this time was a crime against the descendants. Moreover, the development of the south did require manpower, so the people of Wei Bo could only suffer.
"Since Tian Chengsi came down, there have been no good people in Wei Bo." Wang Pu said with a smile: "It's better to send them all away, so that no one will cause trouble in the future.
Shao Shenjian snorted coldly when he heard this, grabbed the few letters and returned to the camp.
Wang Pu smiled, while Wang Tuan shook his head at him and smiled bitterly.
