The literary management system of the General Mansion was finally put into operation under Wu Song's coordination. Six book offices were recruited. After these book offices experienced and inspected, they would be sent to the military to serve as secretaries and book offices. Why is it said that scholars often occupy all the offices?
Advantage, because the starting point of scholars is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and the rank of scribes is equal to that of ordinary soldiers. After joining the army, these six scribes will naturally be ahead of others.
"In nine days, our defenders had 1,631 killed, 324 seriously injured, and countless minor injuries. Arrangements have been made for treatment of the injured, but there will still be sacrifices in the future." Wu Song continued, "After one night of statistics,
, our army killed more than 20,000 enemies in nine days. About 20,000 Uzi soldiers escaped last night. Uzi General Hailati was killed, Uzi Prince Ahe Lahan escaped, and Uzi National Division Surmeda was killed.
Prisoner. This Surmeda is proficient in Chinese, is the dean of the seminary in Uzi, and seems to be the teacher of Prince Uzi, and is very popular in Uzi."
Zhang Xiaowu asked: "What is the main cause of casualties in our army? Why were more than 400 soldiers killed last night? Zu Gongmao, please tell me first."
Chen Qing, who was standing aside, felt strange in his heart. Shouldn't the generals be rewarded after a great victory? Is this criticizing everyone? Zhang Xiaowudang's behavior was really unexpected. Wouldn't his generals be dissatisfied? He looked over carefully.
, found that none of these generals were dissatisfied, and seemed to think that it was normal to criticize after the war. Chen Qingxin said that he had learned a lesson. No wonder the Mucheng defenders were so good at fighting, and they were criticized for this great victory. Could it be that Zhang Xiaowu
Do you still expect to kill the enemy with zero casualties? But when you think about Zhang Xiaowu once leading the cavalry to challenge 20,000 Wuhuan cavalry with zero casualties, it doesn’t feel strange anymore.
Zu Gongmao said: "The main reason is that we don't know much about the Wuzi people, and we underestimated the enemy due to our repeated victories in the past period."
Shen Lindong added: "We always thought that the weapons of the Uzi people were stabbing spears and wooden shields, but now we discovered that each of them habitually hides two hand axes the size of a palm, and they never leave the hand ax when sleeping. Although the attack last night
The battalion was successful, but the Uzi people's counterattack before their death also injured many soldiers. Among the 428 people killed last night, our garrison battalion suffered the most casualties, with 316 people."
Zu Gongmao sighed: "The battle to attack the camp that we expected to trigger the collapse of the Wuz people from the beginning did not happen. The real collapse of the Wuz people was after the master killed Helati."
Zhang Xiaowu frowned and said, "The fault is not with you, but with me. Judging from the death of 600 of my soldiers in this battle, it seems that these Uzi people are actually better at defending the city. I thought they were not good at attacking cities and misjudged their weakness.
, but actually it’s my fault for my shallow knowledge.”
Everyone was busy trying to reassure them that this battle was a complete victory. Two thousand casualties defeated an army of 50,000, killed more than 20,000 people, and captured nearly 10,000 people. No one could find any fault. It was just that Zhang Xiaowu blamed himself too much.
In some cases, the Han army underestimated the enemy's defensive capabilities, which led to a small accident in the original victory. But fortunately, this was just an accident and had no impact on the entire battlefield. In the first battle of defending the city of Mucheng, the defense of Mucheng was
The army won a complete victory.
Three days after the loud Uzi, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Mucheng was greatly boosted, and the news of the victory was quickly sent to the court. The messengers along the road shouted the message: "Great victory in Mucheng, defeated the enemy of 50,000 in Wuzi! Mucheng
Great victory, defeating the enemy of 50,000 Uzi!"
This is the rule of the post station. When there is news of the victory of the army, it is allowed to inform the people along the way to boost the morale of the people. This does not count as leaking military information. The reports of the post soldiers really made the people of the Central Plains extremely happy, and some wealthy people even bought some
Firecrackers were set off at the street corners to celebrate and have fun with others. Many people hurriedly went to buy meat and wine. It was necessary to eat something good in the evening.
At this time, the rebels organized by the Beggar Clan had just arrived at Lianglang Pass and were stopped by the wolf guards at Lianglang Pass. It turned out that it was Cao Yan who learned that these Jianghu Rangers were preparing to go out to help. He couldn't help but sneer, saying to himself that these Jianghu Rangers were preparing to leave the Pass to help.
Cao Mang could not help, and he was jealous of Zhang Xiaowu's great victory in Mucheng, so he stopped the rebels outside the city.
Wang Xiaojian's rebel army initially only had more than 200 Beggar Clan disciples from various places, but as the Hero Order spread more and more, its influence grew. As long as the famous Jianghu Rangers from all over the place came to Daizhou to help out, they also came to Daizhou with their men.
With the secret support of Daizhou Mu, local and local gentry generously provided food and grass, more and more rebels gathered, eventually forming a mighty team of two thousand.
The Beggar Gang was naturally the main force of the rebel army, and Wang Xiaojian, the helmsman of Daizhou, became the leader of the alliance. Most of them had no horses and had to walk all the way to Lianglang Pass on two legs.
However, after arriving at Lianglang Pass, they were stopped by Cao Yan. Everyone was very angry. Someone found the deputy general Murong Yan and complained to him about today's injustice. Murong Yan smiled bitterly and said: "You heroes, I have a close personal relationship with Zhang Xianzhi, but
Military orders cannot be violated,
As long as General Cao Yan doesn't give the order for one day, I will have no choice but to be a villain and stop you. Please don't blame me. I am actually a military officer. If I let you go out of selfish motives, I'm afraid hundreds of people in my family will die.
I will be falsely accused of treason by villains, alas..."
The heroes understood that it was Cao Yan who was behind the scenes, so they discussed it and poisoned Cao Yan that night with the cooperation of Murong Yan. The next day, Cao Yan fell unconscious and frightened the generals.
But Murong Yan said: "A country cannot be without a king for a day, and an army cannot be without a master for a day. General Cao is exhausted and unconscious from official duties. I will temporarily take over as the wolf guard."
Murong Yan had long wanted to attack Cao Yan, but he had no chance. This time he borrowed the help of Jianghu people and bribed Cao Yan's most trusted concubine, and finally succeeded in capturing the Wolf Guard. Afterwards, Murong Yan wrote a letter to
Zhang Xiaowu, and Wang Xiaojian, leader of the rebel alliance, brought him, and the rebels were able to get out of the customs smoothly.
The arrival of Wang Xiaojian and other rebels intrigued Zhang Xiaowu. He was especially curious about Jianghu. He first arranged for the rebels to rest in a military camp, and then was introduced by Wu Song to meet the rebels. In order to show respect, he also specially changed
He was dressed in clean clothes and his beard was clean, and he came with his subordinates and confidants.
When Wang Xiaojian and other wealthy people learned that the ghost general was personally thanking everyone, they immediately felt that they were being taken seriously and went out to greet them. They saw a tall young man in fine clothes leading a group of military generals walking towards him with a smile.
He said with a smile: "Heroes come to support me, Zhang is grateful."
Everyone thought, could this young man be Zhang Xiaowu's son or nephew? They couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Wang Xiaojian stepped forward and said, "I have met you, sir, and I have met Brother Wu Xian."
Wu Song said with a smile: "Let me introduce you to your Excellency. This is Wang Xiaojian, a hero of the Beggar Clan, known as the Nine-fingered Beggar. This is our Mucheng garrison, Master Zhang Xiaowu, the famous ghost general in the north of the country."
