Chapter 579: The Crime of Non-War (I)

Who else could the little lady be?

Lu Zhe originally sent several groups of people to various places, and several of them picked up some people, including Kuai Tong, Xiao He and others, but the people sent to Huiji County were not heard from.

The Xiang clan is deeply rooted in Huiji County, how could three hundred people enter Huiji County without knowing it? At that time, it was the moment when the Xiang clan had just learned that Fan Zeng had died at the hands of Lu Zhe, and learned that the three hundred men and horses who entered Huiji County were Lu Zhe's subordinates, and Xiang Liang and other Xiang clansmen had not done much.

The three hundred people are all horses, even if they are dragons and how carefully they are deployed, they can't avoid escaping so few. Some of these people who escaped were rounded up and killed when they returned to Nanjun, some escaped into the mountains and forests because they escaped from pursuit and became the mouths of fierce beasts, and only one soldier named Heifu survived because he was lucky to meet Zhong Liyi.

Zhong Liyi was originally a military marquis of a county in Huiji County, because he led the army to fight with the minions of the Xiang clan, and after the defeat, he led dozens of people to avoid pursuit.

Because of the success of the restoration of the Chu State, Zhong Liyi, who had fought with the dragon under the command of the Xiang clan, learned that Heifu was a soldier of Lu Zhejun and was being chased and killed by Longhe and others, so the sword that stabbed out changed its trajectory and only scratched and did not stab Heifu's chest.

What they met and what they went through could be written into a story of at least half a million words, but it didn't seem to need a detailed description?

When Shen Tujia knew that this little girl was the person his master had sent someone to look for him more than a year ago, he raised the highest level of vigilance for a while, and he was afraid that something would go wrong if he was not well protected.

"You're the key player in the capture of Huiji County, right?"

In other words, a nine-year-old girl was eight years old a year ago. An eight or nine-year-old girl, how peculiar her thinking must be to think in the direction of being caught back as a woman?

Shen Tujia didn't know who the little girl was, so he naturally thought in the direction that the little girl was a descendant of a certain big clan, and where would he think in the direction that the little girl was kidnapped by Lu Zhe to be a woman.

To Chu ...... Oh. The military campaign against the Xiang rebels continued, but Shen Tujia had to take the headquarters to protect the little girl and return to Nanjun. They encountered many friendly troops along the way, and gradually learned more information.

A total of 580,000 troops attacking Chu have all entered the Chu realm, Huizhang County has been fully controlled by Lu Zhe's army, and only one of Huiji County has been surrounded by Ji Bu's army without fighting.

When he almost entered the territory of Lujiang County, Shen Tujia encountered a strange team, which looked very mixed, and no matter how you looked at it, it looked like some defeated people were escorted to Nanjun.

It turned out that those of different genders and ages were not defeated and captured, but families who had been characterized as being associated with the rebels, whose property had been confiscated. People were also taken prisoners, and some of the people who resisted had already been killed on the spot by the army, and these people were some remnants.

"Oh, what's that?" Zhang Cang and Shen Tujia are good friends, he is also the same period of the group of people who defected to Lu Zhe, the two received officer training together in Nanling, and now Shen Tujia is a captain, he is a military marquis. He pointed to those who looked down-and-out: "They are all the scourges that are rampant in the township at the original level, and the Xiang clan is even more troubled after the rebellion. It's just some deserving guys. ”

That is to say, the king of Chu is willing to be the Duke of Anle, the Xiang family is obviously dying, how can there be so many fools willing to give the Xiang family a funeral. These people are simply the unlucky people who were regarded as threats during the National War and will be eliminated on the charge of colluding with the Xiang clan for rebellion.

"Are there a lot of people like that?" Shen Tu Jia's headquarters needed to stop and rest for a while, the location was the logistics supply base of the Chu Front Army in Lujiang County, and the people he wanted to protect were safe and secure, and he had a lot of free time to find out what had happened recently.

Attack Chu is incomparably smooth. Zhang Cang, the garrison marquis who was left behind, actually didn't have much to do, and it was rare to meet friends when he was resting during the war, so he should talk a little more.

"There aren't many Huizhang counties." Zhang Cang had a playful smile on his face: "After all, the Lord led his army into the place a few months ago, and any threats were almost eliminated at that time." ”

The implication is that there are many families that have been cleared in Huiji County, as long as they feel that they will pose a threat to local stability, the family has no use value, and the patriarch has no eyes to approach at the first time, it is all in the list of those who have been eliminated.

Shen Tujia frowned and wanted to say something, but moved his lips and still didn't say it after all. He thought that he was sincerely glad that he was serving a social environment where the law was clear and there would be no persecution, and he was willing to be loyal to such a ruler, and was willing to gallop the battlefield at the cost of fighting to the death. But why did that wise ruler carry out a purge within the Chu realm? Will the Great Purge spread to the homeland? He was very worried that there would be a bad atmosphere.

Zhang Cang and Shen Tujia will be Ming ministers in the early Western Han Dynasty in the original history, Shen Tujia became the prime minister after decades of hard work, and Zhang Cang also served as the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty. There is a saying that gold always shines, and what they experience may change, but the talent and intelligence they should have are difficult to change.

Seeing Shen Tujia's expression, how could Zhang Cang not know what he was worried about? He smiled and said, "Peace of mind, peace of mind, the country is fine." "That's what a friend would say, but it's up to the point.

"That's great...... Since there was no purge in the homeland, it was an action against the enemy during the national war, and Shen Tujia swept away his worries: "The lord is really majestic and strategic, and he will destroy the two counties of Chu without much effort." Drink a cup with a longing expression: "General Sima is also leading the army to attack Lingnan, so I think it should be Shun lì?" In this way, in the future, we will have more land in the three counties, and the total territory area will be more than twice that of the Central Plains! ”

The larger the land area, the more glorious these generals who served on the battlefield, and if everyone established any merit and was not afraid that the object of allegiance would not have enough land reward, these truths were very simple and easy to understand.

"This ......" Zhang Cang looked left and right, and saw that no one paid special attention to their side: "General Sima has returned to the capital (Nanling), and General Zhou (Wen), who took over the southern army, encountered trouble in Lingnan, and when the army of the barbarian Yue was swam out of the water, he was attacked by the half-crossing, and more than 20,000 soldiers were killed and suffered heavy rain......"

Shen Tujia was stunned, their forces have always been very smooth in fighting with Baiyue, even if Changsha County annihilated the 500,000 Baiyue army, it only lost more than 30,000 people: "General Zhou is a general, how can he ......", he realized the mistake halfway through his speech, how can Zhou Wen be a general, Lu Zhejun is very particular about the dignity and humility of the upper and lower levels, and it cannot be arranged at will.

Sima Xin returned to Nanling to dispatch the attack on the Chu Front Army, and took over the command of Zhou Wen, who was excellent in the battle between Ye County and Qin, Zhou Wen also participated in the Battle of Changsha County in the Battle of Ye County, and Shen Tujia also saw Zhou Wen's appearance in the Battle of Ye County.

Lingnan is an undeveloped area, and Lu Zhejun spent a lot of money to build roads in order to carry out the Lingnan Campaign, but because the Lingnan area is basically in a state of primeval forest, the process of road construction is not very smooth.

Sima Xin, as the commander of the army, took a step-by-step approach when attacking Lingnan, and after capturing a key road, he set up a camp, either to attract enemy troops to fight for and clear the threat, or to wait for the new forward base to be stable before continuing to move forward.

On the one hand, Lu Zhe is expected to capture the entire territory of Lingnan within three years, and use Sima Xin's steady and steady tactics to fight, to be honest, although the pace is slow, it will definitely not miss the three-year period, it is just a consumption of resources......

Zhou Wen was temporarily transferred to Lingnan to take over the Southern Army, but he did not command indiscriminately as soon as he did not understand the actual situation, and spent a month to understand the development of the battle situation, and then observed the local terrain on the spot. After some observation, he thought that the cost of road construction and advancement was too high and too resource-consuming, and that there were many and gentle waterways in the Lingnan area, in fact, it was possible to use the convenience of many waterways to revise the new combat deployment, and the speed of advancement should be at least seven times faster than that of road construction.

In fact, Zhou Wen's idea is very constructive, in history, Qin's Southern Xinjiang Army used the water system of Lingnan to carry out combat deployment, and under the premise of being able to quickly mobilize the Qin army, the Guangpai scouts mastered the location of the main force of Baiyue, and annihilated the living forces of Baiyue many times, and then occupied Lingnan to set up counties.

Zhou Wen's idea and strategic arrangement are very correct, but he forgot one point, that is, Sima Xin had already scared the Baiyue people in the early stage, and the frightened bird-like Baiyue basically did not fight battles of the nature of battle, and adopted frequent sneak attacks in the mode of breaking into zero, and then Lu Zhe's army was a group army operation mode, unless it took a long time to brew and deploy, otherwise it would be impossible to hide the march.

According to Sima Xin's deployment, during the interlude of the autumn rainy season, the Southern Army Corps should cross the water to capture the opposite bank and establish a new forward base, and the intention was naturally to build a bridge to the opposite bank to make advance preparations.

Zhou Wen had a new battle plan, but he didn't change the battle plan that Sima Xin had already formulated, and if he really wanted to change the battle plan of the Southern Legion, it would only be with Lu Zhe's permission.

On the day of the swim crossing from the water, the 5,000 Lu Zhejun used the rafting to cross the river very smoothly, but the damn weather changed when it was said...... (To be continued......)
