Chapter 1063 Stationed in Jiangdu City
After two days of reorganization, the Jianghuai army was completely absorbed, and after the counting, more than 30,000 people of the main force of the Jianghuai army were now eliminated, 40,000 people were captured, and tens of thousands of people were scattered and wounded.
It can be said that this risky volley, by surprise, won a big victory.
Du Fuwei and Wang Xiongdan were captured, Kan Ling was killed in battle, Wenren Sui'an and Wang Hua were also killed in the chaos, and the rest of the Jianghuai generals were killed and wounded dozens of people and suffered heavy losses.
Luo Zhaoyun immediately ordered Xu Shiji, led 60,000 elites, and went straight to Liyang County, Du Fuwei's lair.
Without Du Fuwei's control, the soldiers of Liyang County fled and did not resist at all, because the news had already come, Zhang Shanan and others felt one step ahead of time, attacked Du Fuwei's base camp, plundered a lot of gold and silver treasures, and at the same time spread the news that Du Fuwei might be killed in battle.
Of course, most of the soldiers stayed, lost their armor, and went back to the countryside to work as farmers to avoid the war, and some people were bolder, waiting for the Dahua Imperial Court troops to come over and surrender directly.
When Xu Shiji entered Liyang County with illness, every city was not attacked at all, and the soldiers did not take it bloodily, and even the rich families and squires in the city took the initiative to welcome the arrival of the imperial army.
Only after submitting to the imperial court can these squires, rich families, and wealthy families feel safer, and they don't have to be constantly oppressed and robbed by local princes and rebellious forces.
On the other side, Luo Zhaoyun took an army of 150,000 and began to march towards Jiangdu City.
When passing through Qingliu City along the way, they sent people to recruit Ximen Junyi and his wife, because there were too many soldiers and horses in the imperial court, plus the soldiers and horses of Zhang Zhenzhou outside the field, and the Jianghuai army, there were 200,000 people.
If you want to attack the city, you can use black powder and sharp weapons, 200,000 soldiers and horses will attack, and the 20,000 guards of Qingliu City will not be able to resist at all.
Moreover, when Ximen Junyi and his wife learned that Du Fuwei was captured, they were trapped in the Dahua military camp, and the two had no sense of continuing to resist.
Even their leaders have been arrested, and they are stubbornly resisting, and there is no need to live and die with the city.
The city gate opened, and Ximen Junyi and his wife, with the soldiers in the city, unloaded their armor and blades, and went out of the city empty-handed to surrender.
Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly, and sent someone to detain Ximen Junyi and his wife and Jianghuai General Zuodu first, and wait for the fall, for the time being, he couldn't trust these rebel generals, but he didn't kill his head, and so on, the top priority was to settle down in Jiangdu County first, and then specify a battle plan for crossing the river, stabilize Huainan and Jiangdu County, and promote the integration of the imperial court and Jianghuai localities.
Luo Zhaoyun said: "General Zhang, you take the people of the headquarters and garrison it in Qingliu City, the location of this place is important, it is bordered by Huaishui in the north, Zhongli in the west, Jiangdu in the east, and the Yangtze River in the south. ”
Zhang Zhenzhou arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty's holy will, guard here, and don't let this place cause chaos." ”
"That's good!"
The army continued to advance until it reached the capital of Jiang.
Since Luo Zhaoyun crossed over, he has not been to Jiangdu City in all the years he has lived in Dasui.
The land of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, in the Sui Dynasty, is the capital of the river, and it is also a big city in the south, with a population of nearly one million, the economy is relatively large, and most of the rice stored in the imperial treasury every year comes from the Jianghuai and Jiangnan land, so it is particularly important here.
At that time, Yang Guang planned to dig the canal, and the reason was responsible, first, to bring the north closer to the south of the Yangtze River and promote exchanges. Second, the economy of the south has risen rapidly, accounting for more than half of the country's tax revenue, so the construction of canals is conducive to the transportation of grain from the south to the northern region. Third, Yang Guang has been the general manager in Yangzhou for many years, and has accumulated a lot of contacts and prestige here, and has deep feelings for this.
The construction of a canal is of great significance, it is definitely not written as in the romance, but Yang Guang went to the south of the Yangtze River to play.
The army was stationed inside and outside the Jiangdu City, Luo Zhaoyun came to the Jiangdu Palace City with the military generals of Wenchen, which had long been decayed, and had been visited by the rebel army several times, and there were no gold, silver and jewelry in it, and even the towers and palaces were damaged, and the water pavilion was full of filthy grass.
When Luo Zhaoyun saw this scene, he couldn't help but think of a poem: wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, and the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Alley. In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people.
Whether it is a prince or a general, or a royal family, there is always a halo that disappears, and when the curtain of history ends, all that is left is the remnants of some monuments for future generations to hang on.
The Dahua Imperial Court established by him himself, if it is to be passed on for a long time, Luo Zhaoyun feels that there are still many heavy responsibilities on his shoulders.
.........
Danyang County, Jiangning City.
Zhang Shan'an, Shen Faxing, Chen Dong and others led troops to Danyang County and stationed outside the city, and these people entered Jiangning City with their cronies to discuss with Fugongtuo how to resist the Dahua army on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
For a long time, the Jianghuai Army was led by Du Fuwei and Fu Gongtuo was the second person, and as the power grew, the two former friends of life and death also had a gap because of issues such as power distribution.
When Fu Gongtuo learned from Zhang Shan'an and others that the Jianghuai army led by Du Fuwei was defeated, he didn't feel much, but felt that the Jianghuai army respected him in the future.
Fu Gong Tuo's side, there is also a strategist Zuo Youxian who can pinch and calculate, give advice, once worked as a Taoist, and later returned to the world, and Fu Gong Tuo has a deep friendship, has been behind him to instigate and scheming, only today Fu Gong Tuo occupies an area south of the Yangtze River as the king, do not listen to Du Fuwei's dispatch of the status quo.
"Mr. Zuo, at present, Zhang Shan'an, Shen Faxing and others have brought people into Jiangning City, did I forcibly co-opt them, or did I cooperate to fight against the Northern Imperial Court together?" Fugong Tuo couldn't make up his mind and asked.
Zuo Youxian pondered: "Dahua is powerful, there is already an unstoppable sharp spirit, the land south of the Yangtze River, a plate of scattered sand, except for the Yangtze River, there is no other natural danger to stop, we must unite these horses and horses to fight against Huaguo together, so that we can have the opportunity to block the momentum of the northern court and win a glimmer of life for us!" ”
"Then do as the gentleman says!" Fu Gongtuo nodded and agreed to Zuo Youxian's suggestion.
