It was much easier to take over by the Zhao army than to think about it. The Zhao army under the pretext of the new general of Shu army Zhenbei, secretly attacked all the civil and military officials and defenders of Baishui County in the name of the Shu army in the military camp and county government.
.Many of these defenders were released by the Zhao army, so it is not unacceptable to them that they became prisoners of the Zhao army again.
The Zhao army, who took over Baishui County, did not directly reveal his identity. Even if he took over the city defense and the four gates, it was implemented in the name of the Shu army. Therefore, the people in the city were not clear that the owner of Baishui County had changed.
In addition, for Qin You, who took over Baishui County, there is another good news, that is, the civil and military officials of Baishui County expressed their willingness to surrender to the Zhao army. The reason is that Feng Yanzhang was surrendered by King Situ Che of Shu.
The crime is related. In this way, it is even more beneficial to the Zhao army. At least, on the surface, there is no abnormality in Baishui County.
Of course, if the Shu army in Hanzhong City or Nanzheng County were carefully investigated, they would naturally find the problem. After all, after dusk, thousands of troops entered and exited the city gate, which was a way to escape everyone's purpose. Fortunately,
They were under the banner of the Shu army, and the county magistrates and guards of Baishui County could cover up.
"The general's intention is to let us attack the gentry and clan in the city in the name of the new general Zhenbei?" Feng Qiu was stunned when he heard Qin You's military order. For the Shu army, they had never been in the name of the government.
, have taken action against local gentry and powerful people. Of course, it is a different matter if these people have something wrong. That's it, the government is targeting two families, not the entire class that Qin You said. [
Han Derong, who was from ordinary Feng Qiu, had no good feelings for local gentry and powerful families, especially as an official in the Shu army for many years, and had also been very angry with these gentry and powerful families. Therefore, for Qin You
Of course, they have no problem with this kind of military order. However, it is not an easy thing to attack the gentry and clan in the area. What made Feng Qiu hesitate was that Qin You, as the leading general, should not be able to make such a decision.
That's it.
As if he understood what the other party was worried about, Qin You told Zhao's policy to the west again, and explained the shameful behavior of Zhao's army in other areas of Hanzhong. In addition, Qin You also gave the above
The secret order issued was also explained in detail. Of course, Qin You naturally would not say that the secret order was issued by King Zhao himself.
Since Feng Qiu and others surrendered to Zhao, they didn't say much, and they naturally began to implement Qin You's military orders. Of course, the actions were naturally the troops under Qin You, but this required Feng Qiu's official military orders.
First of all, these things can also be used on the Shu army. Of course, this does not mean that the Zhao army is worried that these situations will be known to others, but does not want to completely expose the situation where the Zhao army occupied this place at this moment.
In addition to the county town, Baishui County has more than a dozen towns and villages under its jurisdiction. At this moment, the gentry and gentry in these areas who are not famous on weekdays have now been taken down by the government in the name of the new general of Zhenbei. Of course, now
Zhao Jun usually investigates the gentry's responsibilities, convicts Yu, and confiscates property beyond the limit. Unless these people are not famous and have murders on their backs, they will not die under normal circumstances.
Hands'.
While Qin You occupied Baishui County, the situation in Nanzheng County was similar to that here. Zhao's army was under the banner of Shu army, and they received the military order of the new general Zhenbei, and their troops were stronger than the opponent.
The raid was so difficult that the Shu army in Nanzheng County could not report the city. Needless to say, Nanzheng County was occupied by the first town of the Zhao army's imperial guards.
Unlike Baishui County, Zhao Kang attacked here without a quiet silence, but took an offensive after the Zhao army entered the city. In other words, in Nanzheng County, after using the banner of the Shu army to open the city gate, Zhao Kang was
He directly launched a forceful attack. Therefore, Nanzheng County has been lost, and news that it has fallen into the hands of the Zhao army will definitely spread. Of course, this is also what Yang Wangqing asked for.
After Nanzheng County was destroyed, the situation here was the same as that in Baishui County. The difference was that the Zhao army took over the Ming Dynasty, so the soldiers of the Shu army either died in battle or surrendered, and the great gentry above the local area also
All the powerful men and women were cleaned up by the Zhao army. Which of these big families can be truly clean? Therefore, the Zhao army had to take action against them with reasonable and well-founded reasons.
At noon the second day after the Zhao army captured the two places, the two counties received military orders from Hanzhong City. Of course, it is not to mention that Nanzheng County was captured by the Zhao army. As for Baishui County, Feng
In the name of Qiu and Han Derong, several people were sent to Hanzhong City and acted according to the order.
The news that Nanzheng County was captured by the Zhao army soon spread to Hanzhong City, which shocked all the generals and officials in Hanzhong City. Nanzheng County is located in the south of Hanzhong City. It can be said that Nanzheng County was captured by the Zhao army, so now
The city of Hanzhong is surrounded by the Zhao army on three sides. The city of Hanzhong is already under the hands of the Zhao army. The large area on the north is also under the jurisdiction of the Zhao army. Now Nanzheng County in the south of Hanzhong City has also been conquered by the Zhao army.
This means that except for the Baishui County in the east, Hanzhong City has nothing to do with them, but has become a dead place to stop them.
After receiving the news that Nanzheng County was lost, Jiang Poyun, the general of the Shu army, was surprised again, but he also felt normal. After he learned that the Zhao army could use more than 25,000 mobile troops in southern Hanzhong, Jiang Po
Yun knew that the situation of going south to attack Baishui County and Nanzheng County a few days ago was not fake, and Zhao Jun would definitely choose one place to take action. It was also because of this that he ordered the officials of the two counties to immediately
He sent someone to Hanzhong City to meet him and discussed the defense of southern Hanzhong. However, he did not expect that Nanzheng County was now lost.
The loss of Nanzheng County terrified the civil and military officials in Hanzhong City. Since then, the Zhao army has taken action quickly and far beyond their expectations. Now, it has taken down Nanzheng County, south of Hanzhong City.
, This made them feel that Hanzhong City was not that safe.
"What about Baishui County? Has Baishui County been attacked by the Zhao army this time?" After pausing and calming his mood a little, Jiang Poyun asked the officials in charge of the surrounding information again. He had never obtained Baishui County.
After conquering the Zhao army and the Baishui County garrison had sent personnel to obey the order, he relaxed a little.
For Jiang Poyun, the capture of Nanzheng County has now become a foregone conclusion and has an important impact on the Shu army in southern Hanzhong. However, the most critical place is far inferior to Baishui County.
The status in my heart and the importance of Baishui County to the Shu army.
As long as Baishui County is still in the hands of the Shu army, the Shu army will continue to arrive from the support of Yizhou, and the land of Hanzhong can be linked to Shu, and they will not become an isolated city. On the contrary, if Baishui County falls,
Then, for the entire Shu army, the land of Hanzhong had nothing to do with them. Because their road to the north was cut off, all their place in Hanzhong were cut off.
For the defenders of Hanzhong City, when Baishui County fell, their connection with Yizhou was completely cut off, and they could not get reinforcements, food, supplies, and weapons. More importantly, they themselves
This has become an isolated city.
"General, what should we do now? A city like Nanzheng County that is easy to defend and difficult to attack will be attacked by the Zhao army. Now, we are all enemies on all sides, and the situation is very bad. Just rely on the defenders in the city alone
, I'm afraid..." Hanzhong prefect Xiao Yuanlin said in a trembling voice.
"What are you panic!" Jiang Poyun said sternly, "Why did Nanzheng County be captured? Because you have collected the soldiers who have been surrendered and did not restrict them, and let them scattered among the various armies, affecting the defenders.
Morale. Also because of the carelessness of the general of the garrison and the county magistrate of Nanzheng County, this general knows that you are dissatisfied with the king's handling of his former General Zhenbei. However, your disagreement with this general has made the entire southern Hanzhong situation more
It is dangerous. If the magistrate and county magistrate of Nanzheng County can be more vigilant, why is this?"
He glanced coldly at the generals and officials in the hall and said in a deep voice: "From now on, everyone here must comply with the general's military orders. If anyone dares to stop returning, don't blame me for being rude. Whoever dares to do so will do it?
If you dare to regard the general's military order, I will not mind sending him on the road. In addition, your family will be implicated because you do not obey the military order, you will betray the Shu army and betray the king. Such a serious crime will be to confiscate the family and destroy the family.
!Did you all understand?" Because of the loss of Nanzheng County, Jiang Poyun has lost the patience to slowly accept these generals and school officials.
Jiang Poyun's words immediately made his face tighten for more than ten days in the hall, and he didn't dare to say anything extra. They all knew that Jiang Poyun had this ability. If they were defeated in Hanzhong, Jiang Poyun would not have to take action.
, The King of Shu in Chengdu Prefecture would make their families prisoners. The example of Feng Yanzhang is not far away from them.
Seeing that everyone was calm, Jiang Poyun said indifferently: "It's so good. This general said, you only need to obey the orders. You need to know the others and worry about them."
"Yes, Nanzheng County was lost, which puts us in a very dangerous situation. However, the Zhao army in Nanzheng County is also under the attack between us and Baishui County. In addition, our reinforcements have already been attacked from
Going north of Yizhou, you will arrive in Baishui County soon until you arrive here. Moreover, 30,000 reinforcements will arrive here continuously, and we are not too far from the Zhao army. So, at this moment, you only need to put your heart in your stomach.
, just guard the city.”
In fact, at this moment, Jiang Poyun wanted the Chu army and Baishui County to attack Nanzheng County, and the two places attacked each other to recover Nanzheng County. After all, it was extremely unfavorable for them to fall into the hands of Zhao's army. As time went by, Zhao
The greater the influence of the army here, the greater the threat to the Shu army.
However, the disadvantage of his troops, the current morale of these soldiers and the unfamiliarity with him made Jiang Poyun dare not go out easily. Especially in the north of Hanzhong City, there were 6,000 soldiers under his subordinates, which made Jiang Poyun even more
I dare not leave the city easily. Because the Zhao army had cavalry, and the Zhao army's troops appeared here had already made some of their laws clear. The existence of the Zhao army's cavalry allowed the Shu army scouts to act normally, so
The control over the situation of the Zhao army has gradually become worse than before. Therefore, Jiang Poyun can only defend the city and wait for reinforcements to arrive, so that he can have sufficient troops in his hands to make corresponding solutions.
"How many Zhao troops occupied Nanzheng County?" Jiang Poyun asked the defenders who fled from Nanzheng County.
"Report to the general, because the Zhao army was operating at night, they entered and exited the city gate several times, so... In addition, since the Zhao army entered the city, the city gate has been taken over by the Zhao army. Therefore, we are not very good at how many Zhao troops are there in Nanzheng County.
clear."
"General, according to the situation we sent to the generals of the Nanzheng County garrison and the county magistrate, we can see that the Zhao army has now blocked Nanzheng County and has begun to clean up the townships of all towns in Nanzheng County.
And the great gentry who tends to us. In the city, the Zhao army also opened the entire city and closed the city gates, and strict inspections are required. Therefore, the number of Zhao army in Nanzheng County is still unclear. However, it can be confirmed.
Yes, the Zhao army in Nanzheng County is no less than 5,000."
"Damn it!" Hearing these ambiguous answers, and answers from multiple aspects, Jiang Poyun was immediately furious. The two armies were fighting and their lack of understanding of the enemy's situation meant that they were on the verge of failure.
Land.
Now, Jiang Poyun already understood why Feng Yanzhang was defeated so quickly after the Zhao army headed south. The energy of the Shu army was consumed in the battle with the Han army. The Zhao army was full of energy and straightforward.
Going forward is simply not something that the Shu army, which has been fighting for several months, can resist.
As a last resort, Jiang Poyun could only call the officer who had just arrived from Baishui County and asked him to pass an order to the Baishui County garrison general and county magistrate to guard against the Zhao army, stay in the guard and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
, immediately assist Hanzhong City.
For Jiang Poyun now, he could only place his hope on reinforcements. Because of the Zhao army's persuasion of surrender, and because the Hanzhong City changed hands back and forth in the hands of the Han army and the Shu army, the battle had been more than a few months. Therefore, here
The defenders and the people in the city did not have much morale about the battle to defend the city. Even some people in the city had begun to gather and wanted to discuss surrendering to Zhao. The emergence of these situations made Jiang Poyun understand that the Hanzhong City
The situation is much more difficult than you expected.
"I don't want anyone except you to know about the loss of Nanzheng County. If there is any leakage, let me find out who did it. I don't mind using his head to order the entire army. Now
The situation is very dangerous, but this does not mean that we have no chance. It won’t take long before reinforcements arrive, and we will be able to launch a large-scale counterattack. Therefore, this general does not want any accidents to occur during this period of time."
