"Chen Xi rebelled, and all the land in the Zhao Dynasty had Xi. When Gaozu heard that the Xi generals were all former Jia people, he said: "I know him." So he bribed the Xi generals with more gold, and many of the Xi generals surrendered."
“Be aware of the enemy general!” Shao Shude wrote three words in the military book seriously.
War is an activity in which every effort is made. Understanding the enemy general’s temperament, habits, hobbies, and state is a compulsory course for a general.
The Chao general blocking Tielin's army to the south is named Meng Kai. He served as Shangshu Pushe in the puppet Qi regime and was one of the main generals. He won Huang Chao's trust. There are only two points in the news so far: First, he is relatively good at fighting.
Guandong repeatedly defeated the army; secondly, the relationship with Zhu Wen was very poor.
Regarding the first point, Shao Shude could not use a yardstick to measure it. Meng Kai did not participate in the Western Expedition to Fengxiang Mansion, which was presided over by Shang Rang and Wang Bo. Because he held a higher position and rarely participated in battles in Guanzhong,
There was only one record at the end of last year, when they fought against Cheng Zongchu and Wang Chucun in the southwest of Chang'an. According to the military report of the imperial court, they "repulsed the traitor general Meng Kai", but it was impossible to tell whether they won or lost.
However, there is no need to get too entangled in this matter. Fighting is inherently a combination of strength and luck. When fighting head-on, luck is less of a factor. Unless something suddenly breaks out, the competition is all about hard power. Fighting in a complex environment depends on luck.
The proportion has risen sharply. It is unclear how strong a general's ability is. Only by extending the time dimension to five or ten years can we perhaps get a clue.
The second point is that it is quite interesting that he has a poor relationship with Zhu Wen. Zhu Wen is not a senior general in the Chao Army. At most, he is ranked high in the middle ranks. He Shang Rang, Huang Ye, Lin Yan, Meng Kai and others are also
There was some distance. This time he returned from Kanto and served as the military governor of Tonghua. His status may have risen a lot, but it still did not reach the level of a senior general.
Why does Meng Kai hate Zhu Wen? This is a question.
Forget about it for now, you can slowly prepare for studying the enemy generals. Anyway, in the twelfth lunar month of winter, there won't be a war for a while. You can just train your troops in Miyuan.
Time flies to March, and by the end of April, the weather is getting warmer, and the pace of war is approaching again.
On April 30th, Chao's army attacked Xingping from the west. The armies fought in the forts and exhausted the effective strength of Chao's army. Then they retreated to Fengtian and other counties and continued to build deep ditches and high fortresses.
During this period, war broke out again on the land of Daibei.
The five towns of Tiande, Datong, Zhenwu, Youzhou and Hedong had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. They fought with Li Keyong's 50,000 troops in Yuzhou, but it was a disadvantage. After the victory, Li Keyong repeatedly apologized and expressed his willingness to
He led his army to Guanzhong to fight against the thieves, but he was afraid that after the army went west, Helian Duo and Qi Banzhang attacked the old and weak Shatuo who stayed in Daibei.
The puppet Qi Tonghua Jiedu envoys Zhu and Wen attacked the river, but were defeated. They sent envoys to Chang'an to ask for reinforcements, equipment, food and grass, but they were not able to respond.
Liu Zijing also brought people back from Suizhou and said that a large number of craftsmen were needed to make water carts. Because at least half of the canal sites selected this year were non-artesian canals and needed water trucks to transport water for irrigation. Shao Shude thought for a while and asked his colleagues
The county sent dozens of craftsmen back north, and at the same time vigorously recruited apprentices and trained new craftsmen.
Qiang Quansheng will take a new batch of 1,300 Guanzhong households to Suizhou. They all fled from Gaoling, Jingyang, Yueyang and other places one after another. They dragged their families with them and were hungry. There was no way.
, we can only raise part of the grain from the treasury of the eight counties under the control of the northern camp. These people will not be able to catch up with the farmers this year and will have to raise food until next year. In fact, the burden is quite heavy.
After finishing dealing with this mess, Shao Shude came to Chen Cheng and asked: "Judge Chen, what is the current situation at Zhu Wen's side? What is Li Xiang doing?"
"Zhu Wen has few soldiers and has been defeated several times in the attack on the river. There is nothing he can do. However, the puppet Qi did not send a single soldier to support, which shows that Zhu Wen also has little status and has become an abandoned son." Chen Cheng said.
Everyone can see this. Wang Chongrong has an army of 30,000 men, and they are well-prepared. Zhu Wen only has more than 10,000 men, and his equipment is quite insufficient. He has to take the initiative to attack. How to fight this battle? He was also thinking about it.
Helpless.
“Where is Li Xiang?”
“Li Xiang still has more than 10,000 soldiers, just like Zhu Wen. He is currently stationed in Huazhou, and the prospects are equally gloomy.”
"Can you say that these two people are correct?" Shao Shude asked: "If we can be correct, we can immediately lead the army to the west and attack Meng Kai's side. The main force of the camp in the north will move south again, and we will definitely kill more than 20,000 Meng Xiang."
.As a result, there are only one hundred thousand members of the nest left, and the situation has almost completely changed."
“Let Zhou Rong’s envoy from Xiagui contact Li Xiang, and let Linghu Jing’s envoy contact Zhu Wen.” Shao Shude ordered.
Although he can't call Xia Sui Jiejun yet, Zhou Rong and Linghu Jing are still under his control. The food and salary are in his own hands, and he still has a great reputation. If he doesn't obey orders, is he rebelling?
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, just after the military exercise with the army, Wei Boqiu came to report that Li Xiaochang, the commander of the camp in the northeast of the capital, was visiting.
“Shao Shuai has always been nice.” Li Xiaochang burst out laughing as soon as they met.
Shao Shude took a closer look and found that he had a worried look in his eyes and his face was not very good. He was just trying to force a smile.
"Li Dutong." Shao Shude saluted and said: "We have been stationed for several months, but the thieves dare not go north. It is very boring."
Li Xiaochang is no longer the military governor of Yifang. He only has the identity of commander of the northeast camp. He has 6,000 soldiers and horses he brought from Yifang, plus more than 3,000 Hebei sergeants under his command.
“Wei Boqiu, put some wine here, I want to entertain old friends.” Shao Shude ordered.
Li Xiaochang was a little moved when he heard this. He is now a military leader with no territory. The land of the four states has been occupied by Dongfang Kui, and it is difficult to return home. If Huang Chao is defeated in the future, he doesn't know if he can find a place to stay.
.If you enter the court as an official, it will be miserable. You must know that these days are different from the past.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere became warmer. Li Xiaochang kept pouring out his bitter words, saying that Dongfang Kui was originally his general. Last year, he led the army to fight against the thieves, so Dongfang Kui stayed in Yanzhou. But he did not expect that this year the court would actually
After the decree was issued, Dongfang Kui was appointed as the commander of the army in Yifang, which was like a bolt from the blue to Li Xiaochang, who had just led his army southward. He almost surrendered Huang Chao on the spot.
But after all, he still didn't have the courage, and he wasn't as single as other military leaders. He had no future in surrendering Huangchao, and he didn't dare to cause trouble. In the end, the generals also saw that he was not capable of success, so they lost their energy and stopped talking about it.
this matter.
When Shao Shude heard this, he could only comfort him. He guessed that Li Xiaochang's beating was probably related to the poor beating last year. First, he was slow to send troops, which made the court unhappy. Then he entered the battle of Chang'an and was defeated all the way back to Fuping.
Later, he was defeated at the hands of Li Xiang in Gaoling County, losing troops and generals, but he had no merit at all.
What is the use value of such a defeated general? The imperial court issued an order and directly put the generals in your position, making it difficult to cause chaos.
"Li Shuai is still the commander-in-chief and has tens of thousands of people under his command. If he makes new achievements, he may not have a place to go. Zhuge, commander-in-chief, can't he just move to Xingyuan Mansion? There is still a chance." Shao Shude toasted.
Wine, said.
"Li is self-aware, and the morale of his ten thousand men is low. If he can win two battles, he may be able to recover a little. However, the Chao army has more than 100,000 troops, and the force is very large. How can he defeat him? The Tielin army is so brave and so powerful.
You see, this matter may only be left to Shao Shuai." Li Xiaochang drank the wine in one gulp and said with a sincere face.
“We are all officials and generals of the imperial court, so we should take care of each other.” Shao Shude said with a smile.
After the banquet was over, Chen Cheng came to report: Dongfang Kui saw that the households going to Suizhou were in great hardship after staying in Fufang Festival, and he was willing to donate 30,000 dendrobium to help. Shao Shude laughed loudly when he heard this. These rats are fighting for power and profit, and they see opportunities.
He is a good hand at work, but no one is good at fighting. But in the future, if there is any intention of grievances between the four states of Yifang, Li Xiaochang, and Dongfang Kui, he can use them.
On May 20th, Xia Sui's military envoy Zhou Rong came to Sanyuan in person.
"See Liu Hou." Zhou Rong was almost forty, but he didn't look shy at all when he paid a visit to Shao Shude, who was only in his twenties. He had no lack of etiquette and was quite natural.
"General Zhou is a veteran general in Xiazhou and is experienced in battles. There are many things going on now, and there will be many places to rely on in the future." Shao Shude personally invited Zhou Rong to sit next to him and said with a smile.
"The Tielin army won many battles and won many victories, and its reputation spread throughout Guanzhong. Chao's army was frightened when they heard about it. The young general who stayed behind was very promising and heroic, and the generals in the army admired him very much." Zhou Rong replied.
Sure enough, whether others listen to you these days mainly depends on your strength. The Tielin Army has nine thousand people, which can overwhelm any Yamen Army, and they are also brave and good at fighting, so there is nothing to say. Everyone does not want to rebel, as long as
Money and food are distributed on time, so what if you put away your little thoughts and obey someone from Shao?
“How about persuading Li Xiang to surrender?” Shao Shude asked.
"After returning to stay, Li Xiang seemed to have made some moves, but his intentions were not firm and he was afraid that the prison army would know about it. The envoy sent by the general was not harmed, so Li Xiang sent his confidants back to Xiagui." Zhou Rong said.
"Chao Jun is like this, and his defeat is inevitable. If we continue to keep in contact with Li Xiang, there is a lot to be done."
Not killing the envoy who persuaded people to surrender showed an attitude in itself. Li Xiang probably didn’t want to hang himself on a tree with a crooked neck like Huang Chao. As long as the situation changes slightly, surrender is almost inevitable anyway.
“The matter must be kept confidential and must not be known by the nest thief supervisors.” Shao Shude finally warned.
(I can’t write the author’s words, free chapters, and I can’t afford the money, so I’ll just write them here.
Let me ask you, dear readers, do you have any misunderstandings about ancient times?
In ancient battles, it was normal to take the enemy's wives and daughters as trophies after victory. Zhu Wen attacked the Zhu family brothers in Shandong and packed the enemy's wives and daughters home in cars to enjoy. Later, his wife persuaded him that if Bianzhou City
Damn, she also ended up like this, so she didn’t play anymore.
This is just one time. How many feudal towns did Zhu Wen conquer, and how many enemy wives and daughters were captured? When he got tired of playing, he killed them, or threw them to others, or used them as camp prostitutes. It was normal and no one thought it was wrong.
If you say that Zhu Wen is a remnant of the Chao army and his style is not decent enough. Well, if the imperial court, vassal town, or general family, after conquering the enemy, still enjoy the enemy's wives and daughters as trophies, isn't this rare?
You said they are low-level generals, well, Li Shimin, doesn't Zhao Er like to play with each other's wives and daughters? Zhu Yuanzhang also snatched the Mongolian princess. The children in his belly are not necessarily Lao Zhu's, and Lao Zhu doesn't mind either.
Everyone knows about his son Zhu Di. He also invited his subordinates to play with the wives and daughters of enemy generals and let them pick up the guests after the play. Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty also wanted to conquer Mongolia and play with the Mongolian princess. Song Huizong also wanted to defeat Xixia
, playing with the Xixia princess.
You say they are emperors and warriors, but their moral standards are not good. Well, then, political big shots, even those from the peaceful and prosperous times, aren't they the kind of people in the last years of the dynasty who killed their political enemies and enjoyed other people's wives and daughters?
Do you have any misunderstandings about ancient times? In ancient times, what was the status of women? If you follow the enemy, even if you kill your own husband and children, you can still live your life and give birth to children.
As a modern person, the protagonist is already very restrained. After seven or eight years of being assimilated by the people around him, he struggled. Now that he is in a high position and has a powerful position, the speed of being assimilated by the people around him will only become faster and faster, but he still maintains his moral bottom line. At least.
They didn't do things like killing them when they were done, or throwing them out to be camp prostitutes, which is very common among others.
The years are quiet and good. Even in the ancient times of peace and prosperity, there were very few, let alone the last years of the dynasty.
Those things are too fake. Before I was twenty years old, I thought they were true. But when I was thirty, I felt that they were not universal in terms of ancient moral standards and social control levels. They were too fake. This was not a modern society.
Maybe other authors write like this. Some authors play queens, concubines, and married women and insist on writing virgins. I understand that in order to take care of some young readers and expand the fan base, but I don't want to write fake things. What "read an online article"
"You have to be more truthful", "You have traveled through time and still need to be reasonable", "You just have fun reading online articles", I don't want to use these as excuses, it's just laziness and unwillingness to look up information. I didn't even buy paper materials for my last book.
I spent tens of thousands of yuan, and spent more than five thousand yuan to buy physical materials for this book, because many materials are not available in PDF online, and Baidu Encyclopedia is full of errors.
Due to my level of knowledge, there are of course many errors and omissions in this book, but there is a difference between 100 steps and 50 steps, and even 51 steps and 50 steps. I try my best to pursue the truth. I can't do it because of being caught.
They complain wildly about a mistake, and then lie to themselves that they can’t be completely true anyway, so just write whatever you want. Anyway, Qidian readers are used to this now. A bunch of eye-catching novices in new media earn millions a year.
Readers are used to it. They have no other styles of novels to read. They are all the same and have no choice. But I don’t want to do this. This book will probably not reach 30,000 collections by the weekend. It doesn’t matter. I write my own style.
For readers who like this style, nothing more.
The protagonist may not necessarily take in the enemy’s wife and daughter, but I think it is necessary for everyone to know the normalcy and values of society at that time, because there are always people who have beautiful fantasies about that time, and then ask the protagonist to do this or that.)
