Zhao Xun stayed in Fu County for one night, and then took a group of surrendered generals from Fu County and went straight to Changling County. As for Zhao Xun deceiving them and saying that Changling County had been exposed, these few people wanted to
They didn't dare to say anything. At this moment, they knew how powerful the Shunzhou Army was, and they also knew that the Zhenbei Fort in the north had fallen into the hands of the Shunzhou Army. They also knew that the Khitan people had sent thousands of horses to congratulate them.
"Subordinates Zhao Kang and Li Wanlie have met Lord Dutong!" When they arrived at the coalition camp thirty miles outside Changling County, Zhao Xun saw the two of them.
"Okay, let's get up first. Tell us what's going on?" Zhao Xun was eager to know about the attack.
Zhao Kang said with a face of shame: "It's all my subordinates who were careless and got into the opponent's way. Yesterday afternoon during the siege of the city, we showed the opponent the banner of the Black Snake Army cavalry that we captured. Then the Black Snake Army in the city explained the future
Reply. I thought... I thought the other party had surrendered, but in the middle of the night, the Black Snake Army came out from the east city and flanked my camp. As a result, our army was defeated."
When Zhao Xun heard this, he couldn't help but sigh to himself. The recent successive victories had made everyone feel proud, and as a result, they got into trouble with the other party.
"Okay, once you suffer a loss, you will become a Muslim! You are all leading generals. At any time, you should first treat your mind. Taishan collapses in front but does not change its appearance; elk thrives on the left but does not blink. Then you can control the advantages and disadvantages, and you can wait.
Enemy, don’t let the external situation affect your hearts. Every move you make is related to the lives of countless soldiers. Therefore, Sun Tzu’s Art of War says, soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. They must be observed.
also."
"How many members of the Black Snake Army are there in the city?"
"More than six thousand people!"
Zhao Xun's face turned cold and he said: "I originally planned to persuade him to surrender, but now it seems that it is not necessary. First, set up a big flag outside Changling County and give the heads of Ma Kui and his thousands of generals.
I'll hang it up. Let the soldiers prepare letters and attach them to the arrows. If you shoot them into the city without stopping, I won't believe it. The Black Snake Army in the city are not afraid of death."
"As the letter stated, Ma Kui, the leader of the Black Snake Army, has died, and Fu County has been occupied by the Shunzhou Army. Those who are willing to surrender will be exempted! If you kill the commander of the army and surrender, you will be rewarded with three ounces of money (compared to three taels of silver); kill ten
Those who surrender will be rewarded with five strings of gold.
; If you kill a team and lead an offer of surrender, you will be rewarded with 20 guan; if you kill a hundred people and offer surrender, you will be rewarded with 50 guan; if you kill 500 people and offer surrender, you will be rewarded with 200 guan; if you kill a thousand people and offer surrender, you will be rewarded with 500 guan.
Guan. Whoever kills the general and surrenders will be rewarded with thousands of Guan!"
"Hiss..." The general in the tent felt cold for a while. This idea was poisonous. First, use Ma Kui's head to demoralize the Black Snake Army, and then use the letter to enter the city and ask the soldiers to kill Shangguan and surrender. Even if you don't kill him,
, but the superior officer will also look at you as dissatisfied. Besides, there are many people who have grudges against each other in the army. If this continues, no matter whether they do it or not, the soldiers and officers will be on the same page. After all, no one is willing to die with them.
There will be a lot.
As expected, the army marched into Changling County within a stone's throw. Zhao Xun could still see the arrogant and arrogant expressions of the Black Snake soldiers on the city.
He sneered and shouted: "Put up the flag and show them some color!"
A three-foot-thick flagpole as thick as a thigh was erected, and then a dozen heads were hung up. Only a few hundred meters away from the city, the soldiers on the city could clearly see the flag specially erected by the Shunzhou Army. When Li Ze saw
When the dozen or so people were killed, his heart was filled with despair. He knew that Changling County was finished.
As expected, after seeing the heads of Ma Kui and a dozen cavalry and thousands of generals on the city, morale plummeted. In addition, more than a dozen surrendered generals from Fuxian County, as well as the front and rear generals He Xi and Yue Peng also appeared outside the city.
, the morale of the thousands of Black Snake Army defending the city was immediately shaken. Zhao Xun believed that if he attacked the city at this time, he would be able to enter the city without much effort. Unfortunately, because of the night attack by the Black Snake Army, the Qingyang Army specially
Some of the equipment prepared were also burned.
However, the matter was not over yet, and something that made Li Ze even more worried finally appeared. Thousands of troops took turns to shoot letterhead arrows, and countless simple letterheads flew into the city. When Li Ze opened one of the letters and took a look, he almost fainted on the spot.
.Immediately ordered to collect the letters. However, no one knew how many people had seen these letters, and seeing the red eyes of many soldiers, Li Ze was stunned on the spot.
What was supposed to happen finally happened. Even if Li Ze was the leader of the Black Snake Army in the city, he could not stop the crazy rebel army.
At night, I don't know who it was, who took the lead in cutting down the captain who had a grudge with him, and then the entire Black Snake Army went into chaos. It can be said that a single spark can start a prairie fire, and it immediately spread to the entire camp, and then spread to the entire city. Even the coalition forces outside the city knew it.
He saw the fire in the city and the screams of fighting.
In addition to the Black Snake Army being involved, the people in the city also suffered. They were beaten, smashed, looted, burned, raped, raped, kidnapped, and plundered. Zhao Xun didn't care at all about this. It's not that Zhao Xun is cruel, but the people in the city.
Most of them are the family members of the Black Snake Army, and most of them are the family members of the officers of the Black Snake Army. The rest of the people also support the Black Snake Army very much. For this reason, more than a dozen spies from the Shunzhou Army and the Huolin Army were killed because of these people.
here.
Zhao Xun's army entered the city on the second day. There were six thousand black snake troops in the city, and only less than two thousand remained. Overnight, eight streets were burned, more than five hundred houses were reduced to ashes, and as many as two thousand people suffered from the military disaster.
More than 10,000 people. Seeing this scene, Zhao Xun
Although he couldn't bear it, Zhao Xun smiled coldly when he thought of the spies who were here and threw it away. He Xi, Yue Peng and others who followed Zhao Xun into the city turned pale. Now, they are the ones who
I really saw Zhao Xun’s methods, how ruthless!
"Send the order! Let these two thousand prisoners of the Black Snake Army atone for the sins of the people in the city and build houses for the people who have lost their houses. Let the government envoy send someone to take over!"
Seeing the Black Snake Army's last city fall, Zhao Xun couldn't help but say: "From now on, I will make the decision!"
The people following Zhao Xun each had their own thoughts. As for what they were thinking, Zhao Xun was naturally not in the mood to know. Besides, this was all based on his own feelings.
"Send an order to the Chief Secretary of State to send out personnel from each department to take over the counties immediately! The descendants of the Black Snake Army will be screened and those selected will be rigorously trained."
"The Shunzhou Army has been expanding from four cities to 3,000 people each time. The expansion personnel will be selected from among the reduced soldiers. In addition, each county will retain 500 county soldiers, and each township will retain five to ten patrol officers. Some of the Shunzhou Army retired
Placement of soldiers."
"We will implement the new policies in all counties under our control and proceed steadily. Zhenbei Fort is in my hands, and the commercial methods must be accelerated."
In mid-June, the Shunzhou Army completely defeated the Black Snake Army, took control of the four counties in the northern and northeastern parts of Shunzhou Prefecture, and implemented the same new policy as the Huolin Army.
At the end of June, the first thing Zhao Xun did after returning to Gaoling County was not to accept the congratulations of the officials and elders as he had done in the past when he won great victories. Instead, as a commander, he established a martyrs cemetery and a martyrs cemetery in the north of Gaoling County.
The monument records every martyr who died on the battlefield and narrates the story of every hero. This move was immediately supported by the entire army. As for the common people, they sent their sons to the military camp with confidence...
In addition, Zhao Xun also brought back more than 350 homeless children. In ancient times, people did not have family planning and could not afford to raise children. Qian Bing, Ruyu and others shed tears when they saw them, and finally died in Ruyu
Under the jade mushrooms, these children were gathered together and placed thirty miles north of Gaoling County. It used to be a military camp, but now it has become a children's amusement park.
Zhao Xun followed the rules of Yanzhou Prefecture. Children under the age of eight do not need to learn anything more. From the age of eight to the age of twelve, they should learn Chinese literature. After the age of twelve, they can learn both civil and military arts.
The Shunzhou Army annihilated the Black Snake Army with thunderous force overnight. Not only the Mohe Army was shocked, but even the Qingyang Army was frightened. Later, Bao Muyang also learned that the Qingyang Army in Wenkang County was also involved. But this Qingyang Army was also shocked.
Yang Jun did not listen to his orders, but belonged to Bao Muyang in name only.
Just when Bao Muyang was anxious, he asked the Qingyang Military Colonel in the north of Kangkang County to have an in-depth discussion with Bao Muyang. Finally, Bao Muyang looked up to the sky and sighed, and merged the Qingyang Army into the Shunzhou Army. The land of the two counties
Just like the Shunzhou Army. From then on, there was a
The Qingyang Army disappeared in 2007. It took Zhao Xun three months to swallow up the Qingyang Army and dominate the six counties in the north of Shunzhou Prefecture, overlooking the Mohe Army. The sudden changes of the Shunzhou Army attracted attention to these places around Youzhou
Everyone in the situation was surprised...
Bao Muyang originally wanted to be a businessman, but Zhao Xun saw that his riding skills were extraordinary and after many attempts to persuade him to stay, Bao Muyang stayed in the Shunzhou Army and became a fierce general under Zhao Xun of the Shunzhou Army.
