Chapter 602: The countryside surrounds the city
602.
The countryside surrounds the city
More than 30 households, more than 800 people...... There are so many people in just a small county of Huichang, so how many people should be implicated in the rebellion in the entire Youyan Prefecture, Li Pojun can't imagine.
Immediately, he also rubbed his brows and said bluntly: "Take it into custody first, and then make a decision after I ask the sage in my letter."
Li Zhen nodded in response.
Li Pojun's voice fell, and Wei Chi Baolin said angrily: "General, don't you know, this small Huichang County, there are really a lot of rich families, and I am tired of raiding my house all night, just gold and silver ......."
As he was talking, Zen Master Yuwen coughed a few times, interrupted Yu Chi Baolin's words, took out a booklet from his arms, and said directly: "General, it is all recorded in this booklet, please take a look."
Li Pojun took the booklet and didn't look at it, he glanced at Zen Master Yuwen, with a bit of playfulness and appreciation in his eyes, this kid ...... How did he know I wanted to be greedy?
"General, a lot of ruffians and hooligans were caught in the city last night, taking advantage of the chaos to loot, what should these people do? also captured some thieves, one of them was interrogated, but it was a military advisor sent by the king of Lujiang, named Zhou Wei, it was he who persuaded Lin Xin and the Lin family to rebel, Lin Xin had many strategies" Liang Baiwu said at this time, it was Liang Baiwu who led the troops to clear the whole city last night.
Li Pojun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Those ruffians and hooligans collected the stolen goods and filled the treasury, and then handed them over to Wang County's order, this is his duty." As for Zhou Wei and other thieves, they were sent to the capital together. ”
After that, Li Pojun thought for a while and said: "Xiuwen, those 4,000 soldiers will be handed over to you, teach them well, and you will stay here to defend the city."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, stay here and guard the city? Not acting together?
Seeing that the generals were surprised, Li Pojun said bluntly: "Originally, our plan was to be a strange army, around the enemy's back, now we have done it, and recovered Huichang, I believe that now the rebels have learned the news of our army, the strange army is not strange, there is no need to hide, the city has been recovered, there is no chance of falling again, Youzhou is sparsely populated, Huichang is located in the southeast of Youzhou, when we stick to Huichang, and the imperial army is attacked on both sides, the rebellion in Youzhou can be determined in the near future."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a scout hurriedly reported, "Report, General, Yizhou intelligence."
Li Pojun hurriedly took it, unfolded it and took a look, first frowned, then his face showed suspicion, and then he laughed.
The generals couldn't help but look blindfolded, Li Pojun said bluntly: "Yizhou assassinated Shi Yi'an Wang rebellion for only one day, was assassinated by his subordinates, Wang Junkuo occupied the entire territory of Yizhou, the sage worshiped Huo Guogong Chai Shao as the head of the Yizhou march, first the vanguard Ma Sanbao annihilated the elite rebels in Jintai 5,000, and then Huo Guogong set up an ambush in Langshan to defeat Wang Junkuo's department, and recovered five times, Suicheng, Yongle, Louting four counties, Yizhou can not go down in a day."
The generals were surprised and overjoyed, but they didn't expect such a shocking change in Yizhou in just over ten days, but what followed was a great victory for the imperial court, and the situation was very good.
"Huo Guogong deserves to be a famous general."
"Huo Guogong is really amazing."
………… After a burst of high-fives and applause, Li Pojun also smiled and pressed his palm, "Now that Youzhou is blooming at both ends, the end of the traitor is not far away, although our side is a partial division, and the soldiers are few and large, but we can't lose the prestige of the Shence Army, Jingyang, we must find out the movement of the cavalry as soon as possible, and the next target - Yongnu."
Li Pojun pointed to a place on the map and said.
The generals looked at it and couldn't help frowning, and Fang Yiai shouted: "General, Yongnu is just a remote and small county, it is better to fight a big county like Changzhou."
Seeing that the other generals were also puzzled, they probably all felt that they were strong soldiers, why bother to fight those small counties, just go directly to the big counties such as Changzhou and Wozhou, and recover these big counties, aren't those small counties and towns just looking at the wind.
Li Pojun was also angry and funny, and said bluntly: "Do you really think that you are a strong soldier?" Don't forget that we are only a detachment of 3,000 men, how can we attack that great city."
Seeing that Fang Yuai's few people were still unconvinced, Li Pojun snorted coldly: "In the battle last night, our army took advantage of it, and still killed more than 200 people, and the wounded were as many as eight or nine hundred, so how could we attack the big city with such casualties?" Even if we defeat Changzhou, I am afraid that the 3,000 soldiers of our army will be killed and wounded."
Fang Yiai was stunned when he heard this, and then lowered his head one after another, and couldn't help but blush, they only cared about these achievements, but they ignored their own casualties for a while, their several generals, although their subordinates did not have many casualties, but everyone added up, the casualties of the whole army were not small, the total number of casualties added up to nearly a thousand, this battle was the loss of one-third of the combat power, although the eight or nine hundred people were only injured and could recover, and after the injury, he was still an experienced veteran.
Among them, only Zhai Liang and the two veterans remembered to count the battle losses, and the others, including Li Zhen, only cared about the joy of victory for a while, and did not care about their own casualties.
Seeing that the generals were buried in their heads, Li Pojun said again: "Our army will first recover the surrounding small counties, and then Changzhou and other large county towns will be isolated and helpless, which is the countryside surrounding the city."
When the generals heard this, they all felt that it was reasonable, and the countryside surrounded the city...... It is both figurative and appropriate, first gradually encroaching on the surrounding small towns that are easier to occupy, accumulating strength, and then forming a kind of encirclement of major cities, and at the same time forming an invisible influence on those major cities, waiting for the time to seize the central county in one fell swoop.
Thinking about this strategy carefully, everyone present was not stupid people, they all understood it, and they couldn't help but feel greatly admired, and Zhai Changsun was even more excited: "General, such a secret strategy and tactics can be passed on to one family, please cherish it, don't spread it at will in the future."
Hearing Zhai Changsun's words, Liang Baiwu and the others all nodded and agreed, "That's it, the general's art of war can't be casual, it can only be passed on to the apprentice, right, master." Du He said with a lick of his face.
Li Pojun couldn't help but smile bitterly, he cherished himself again, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to say: "You are all my siblings and confidants, and you are not others, so it's okay."
This sentence made everyone's hearts warm again, and they were grateful to Dade, and Li Pojun stopped saying it with black lines on his head.
Next, Wang Zhengyong and Zhu Gongshi came to see each other, Li Pojun Haosheng instructed some trivial matters, appointed Zhu Gong as a deputy general, assisted Liang Baiwu to guard Huichang, and instructed Wang Zhengyong to issue a notice to calm the people's hearts, repair and strengthen the city defense, and ensure that Huichang should be fine, Li Pojun is focusing on Yongnu City.
