"After staying, the Fenglingdu defenders did not want to come back." Wang Yin hurried in and reported.
His face looked a little tired and a little anxious. It was obvious that this move to move the reinforcements was in vain.
"They surrendered the Shao thief?" Wang Ke said angrily.
"General Chen said frankly, please let Wang Yao stay as Jiedu." Wang Yin first looked at Wang Ke's face, and then said cautiously: "If Shao's thieves come, all the people in Fenglingdu will fight to the death. They will not surrender to outsiders.
Only descendants of the Wang family will be surrendered."
"Fart!" Wang Ke stood up suddenly and knocked over the teapot.
His eyes were flickering, and he was obviously struggling fiercely in his heart.
"Excuse me, madam, to make me another pot of tea." Wang Ke suddenly said.
"Husband, don't let your anger hurt your body." Mrs. Li sighed and left the room.
Wang Ke paced irritably and suddenly walked up to Wang Yin and said: "You and I have both been prosperous and devastated. If Wang Yao comes, I will definitely not let you go."
After hesitating for a long time, he asked in a low voice: "If I kill Li Keyong's daughter and surrender to Shao Shude, is there any chance to save the matter?"
Wang Yin was startled and immediately advised: "If you stay here, things have come to this. I'm afraid it will be of no use."
Wang Yin is not a fool. If Wang Ke wants to kill his wife, he will only look for them to do it. At that time, Li Keyong will be furious. In order to calm down his anger, Wang Yao and Shao Shude will definitely send those who did it to Jinyang, just to get pain.
I can't help but beg to die.
"That's right." Wang Ke slumped back on the bed and said with a choked voice: "Wang always treats the soldiers kindly, but I don't want them all to think only of themselves at this time."
Wang Yin was speechless. Aren't the sergeants quite conscientious? They were still facing the Wang family, but they were replaced by Wang Yao.
But this matter, alas! Wang Yao probably wants him to die, what should I do?
At this point, it seems that only Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong can surrender, and Wang Yin is already thinking about how to get out of the city.
"When Liu Hou entered the city, the streets were full of warriors and their morale was low. Now it may be time to give out more rewards to boost morale. In this way, everyone from top to bottom will feel the virtue of staying behind and may be willing to fight to the death." Wang Yin said: "Pu Jin
There are still thousands of garrison troops in Guansan City, and they are close at hand. Why not call them if I stay here? I am not talented, so I am willing to make another trip for my stay."
Wang Ke suddenly raised his head and said: "Wei Junyan, you may have missed the plan."
The three cities of Pujinguan are the lifeblood of the river, and they are always guarded by elite soldiers and generals. The earliest traces can be traced back to Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang County. The Yamen Army in the river, going back further, are also descendants of Guo Fenyang's elite soldiers who fought against the rebellion.
The defenders here, whether it was their late father or uncle, had given them numerous warnings not to move. They had rushed back in a hurry, but they had forgotten this matter.
"You go quickly! There are still more than ten thousand government troops in the city. If thousands of Pujin Pass elite soldiers come in for reinforcements, there may be a turn for the better." Wang Ke said.
Mrs. Li took her maid to make tea and went into the house. She happened to hear the last sentence and was a little surprised. She said: "Husband, when I was in Jinyang, I heard my grandpa chatting with the generals. There was a stronghold outside the city, garrisoned with elite soldiers.
, the thief army will not be able to attack the city with all their strength. Pujin Guandong City is close to Hedong, so it can provide assistance and the power of the horns. If the thief army comes to attack, it will be inconvenient to collect firewood, set up camp, and make equipment. It will be inconvenient and a large number of people will have to be left behind.
Soldiers guard Dongguan City"
"Shut up! You are just a woman, you can take care of your husband and raise your children. What do you know about military strategy?" Wang Ke interrupted.
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a little regretful. I felt that my tone was harsh, and I subconsciously wanted to say something nice. But then I thought about it, the two thousand Jin soldiers were not in the city, and Liu Xun was probably dead, so what the hell was he afraid of!
Thinking of the past year, I was cautious and never dared to speak loudly to my wife. Even an honest person couldn't stand it. At this time, I cursed a few words and felt very happy.
After all, Mrs. Li was only fifteen years old. When her husband scolded her, she burst into tears, lowered her head and ran out.
Wang Yin was stunned and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
But it doesn’t matter if you think about it. Wang Ke, a broken ship, can do whatever he wants.
After leaving the palace in a hurry, Wang Yin went directly to the west gate.
The atmosphere on the street was solemn. There were soldiers robbing people, but no one was paying attention.
The warriors gathered together in twos and threes, looking dangerously at people like Wang Yin, who were covered in silk. There were also bold ones pointing, obviously they knew him, and they didn't know what they said, and a group of people burst out loud.
laugh.
Yes, what does the change of power have to do with low-level warriors like them? On the contrary, it might be a good thing.
During a time of great chaos, I don't know how refreshing it is to rush into the houses of these former high-ranking officials, plunder property, and wantonly humiliate women.
After the new coach takes over, don’t we have to use them? Don’t we have to coax them well?
It is impossible to say that all the money and silk in the treasury must be distributed to the warriors.
Some people's positions can also be promoted.
Of course this is only limited to Wang Yao.
Shao Shude has his own troops, so he definitely won't need them. It will be a miserable life. No way, he still has to fight to the death with the Xia thieves!
After Wang Yin left the city, he galloped south towards Fenglingdu and Yongle County, without even caring about his family.
Why should a real man worry about not having a wife? When he becomes famous and rich in the future, what kind of woman will he not be able to get?
…
Less than half a day after Wang Yin left, two thousand cavalry led by Qianhu Helianjun arrived at the foot of Hedong City.
They came from the direction of Yuxiang County in the east and acted as the vanguard of the army. Behind them were 5,000 people from the Qing and Tang Dynasties and more than 3,000 people from the Zhenguo Army.
The Hezhong Army sent 5,000 cavalry out of the city to form an array. Helian Jun fought with them, but was unable to win. He retreated more than ten miles and went to the stronghold. The Hezhong Army did not pursue them, and only focused on defending the city.
At this time, on the northern front, Shao Shude had personally led the army into Baoding County.
The county magistrate sent strong men and women to guard the city, hoping to fight to the death. Wang Yao sent people to shout, and finally opened the door to ask for surrender.
Angel Pei Shu has also set off, chasing all the way, hoping to join Shao Shude and Wang Yao.
Wang Yao also transferred the 10,000 native Tuan villagers who had stayed on the north bank. More than 20,000 of the entire army volunteered to attack Hedong County. Shao Shude refused and ordered him to move with the army.
On May 22nd, Shao Shude led his army to arrive outside Hedong County and set up camp.
At this time, news was received that the Fenshuiguan Army, which was isolated from the outside, surrendered to the east of the river, and Kang Junli unified the army to attack Huoyi.
"It's late!" Shao Shude smiled and put away a pile of letters.
The Hezhong Military Academy sealed it and secretly sent people out of the city to deliver the message. They said that the morale of the army was unstable, and they all wanted to change the military envoy to invite rewards.
Feng Chong, the magistrate of the shogunate camp in Hezhong, sent people to tell him. Wang Ke rewarded the three armies and at the same time threatened the sergeants, saying that the king of Lingwu County wanted to kill all the Yamen soldiers in Hezhong. The sergeants were doubtful and their morale recovered.
One of Wang Ke's generals, Pei Ling, who came from Wu Pei in the south, sent his eldest son to Shao Shude's army, saying frankly that the Wang family was kind to him and did not want to harm Wang Ke.
There are also some other miscellaneous people who are basically from the Feng family or the Pei family, or are closely related to them.
However, it seems that there are still only a few people delivering letters to Shao Shude, while there are a lot of people running to Wang Yao's camp.
It's ridiculous to say that.
After all, Hedong County is a famous big city, a fortified city. There were originally more than 10,000 government officers and thousands of state soldiers in the city. Wang Ke ran back with more than 3,000 cavalry. In the past few days, he has probably run back with another 3,000 to 5,000, close to 25,000.
Logically speaking, the Qianbuqi garrison should be as strong as an iron barrel, but what is it like now?
Shao Shude stood on the newly built high platform and saw only people inside and outside coming in and out. The thick city wall almost became a post road for business trips. The hanging basket was put down and lifted up without stopping for a moment. Some people even couldn't wait and just used it.
Climbing down the rope, he rushed to the camp of Wang Yao's army.
People's hearts are so devastated that this is the case!
"Commander!" Gao Renhou hurried over and saluted directly under the watchtower.
This old man! Shao Shude smiled. Shouldn't he come up and salute normally?
"My legs and feet are not good, please come up and talk." Shao Shude shouted.
Gao Renhou smiled, ran up to the watchtower, and saluted, "See you, Marshal."
"I always hear you and Li Tangbin complaining that there are not enough troops, so I will give you more troops this time."
Gao Renhou was overjoyed and said: "After winning the army, the last general will go to Yuan County and take Zhang Shensi's dog head and present it to the commander-in-chief."
"Have you seen all the troops surrendering in the river? How?" Shao Shude asked.
"Not bad!" Gao Renhou praised: "The general picked some people at random and asked them to shoot deer seeds and grass people. There were very few who failed. When we tested the skills of swords and spears, they were all very good. When the general asked,
They are all veterans with many years of experience and are very skilled in their skills. They are just spoiled, they are all careless and slippery, and they must be severely punished."
"When Wang Chongrong was here, these people were still capable of fighting. After his death, in six years, the horses were released in Nanshan and the swords and guns were stored in the warehouse. The army was in a foul atmosphere and the morale was corrupted. It is not too late to rectify it now. Since General Gao thinks it is good, he will
Let’s pick first.” Shao Shude said: “If you think they can’t fight in the future, don’t complain again.”
"The general will be trained and kept in good condition." Gao Renhou patted his chest and said: "After training, if we fight again in the Fenshui Battle, the handsome Tielin Army will probably be beaten..."
At this point, Lao Gao finally realized the power and wisely shut up.
Xu Hao and Ye Li Yulue both glared at him, but they were not as knowledgeable as him.
"We will surrender more than 10,000 troops. General Gao will first select 3,000 people to supplement Tianxiong's army." Shao Shude said, "Select people and be prepared when you recruit them."
"I will save it in the end." Gao Renhou replied.
They may not surrender their troops honestly. If they are still allowed to live in the river, they may be able to accept it. If they move to other places, they may cause chaos.
Li Keyong asked Zhaoyi Town to pick 500 elite soldiers and send them to Jinyang. Didn't they cause chaos on the way?
I can listen to you, fight for you, and even go out of town to fight, but if you ask me to move? Then I will rebel.
In fact, this problem is not limited to individual vassals, but is similar across the country, some are milder, and some are more serious.
Yun, why did Yaner Town fight desperately to resist Zhu Quanzhong? Even in this situation, they were still fighting desperately, which caused huge casualties to the Bian army? Because Zhu Quanzhong had killed the surrendered soldiers.
Why did Zhu Quanzhong kill the surrendered soldiers? Because the surrendered soldiers were disobedient and did not want to go to Bianzhou. They only wanted to stay in their hometown and protect their own interests.
This is a vicious cycle.
The surrendered soldiers disobeyed and killed them in anger. After the news spread, everyone fought to the death and refused to surrender. The casualties were too great. When the anger got up, it was difficult to massacre the city. But massacre of the city might have been possible in other dynasties.
It's scary, but in the late Tang Dynasty, I feel that the negative effects are even greater, and it can arouse the rebellious psychology of warriors and fight you to the end.
Is it possible that I have to follow the same path of the Five Dynasties Imperial Court? I can't stop even after killing all the way? Shao Shude is very helpless.
Zhu Quanzhong massacred Wei Bo, killing all 8,000 yamen soldiers and their families in one day.
But it seemed that the effect was not good, and later a more domineering and unruly Silver Spear was introduced, which could kill thieves on the battlefield, but they were also disobedient.
What kind of people are there in the Tang Dynasty!
"Commander, Feng Yanqing is here." Zheng Yong, the tenth general of the army, stepped forward to report.
"I'll go meet him." Shao Shude said.
After Feng Yanqing left Fengzhou, he returned to Anyi. He had previously asked him if he was interested in serving as the governor of Jiangzhou. Feng Yanqing was a little moved, but after Dafeng wrote a letter to Shao Shude in person
, this matter has become obsolete.
Shao Shude decided to let Jinzhou Biejia Fengheng be the governor of Jinzhou, and at the same time let Pei Yuchang change his place and be the governor of Jiangzhou. Anyway, the two places are similar, so Pei Yuchang should have no objection.
After the military battle is won, the political battle will follow one after another, and the aftermath of the incident in the river will be complicated. If you are not careful, it may affect the great cause of the future.
In his early years, Zhu Quanzhong was stubborn and would kill his troops if they did not obey. But later, after suffering losses, he could no longer stand it and had to compromise, but this laid the foundation for disaster.
Shao Shude wanted to see if he could use both soft and hard tactics and try to figure it out slowly.
