Chapter 710: Aftermath
On that day, Chen Shuozhen transferred almost all the combat power of Wu County, of course, this refers to the fully trained, to put it bluntly, it is only two or three thousand, and the rest are still training, after all, there are cottages in Wu County that need to be defended, and he also thought about relying on the defense of the cottages to consume the vitality of the Xingwu Army, so as to achieve the goal of exterminating the Xingwu Army, so the seemingly dull Wu County, in fact, there are not a few Tibetan soldiers. Fastest updates
Because of the long-term turmoil of the Xingwu Army in Xingwu County, many people had to leave their hometowns in order to make a living, and those who still live in Xingwu County are either large households with the ability to protect themselves, or they live in the poor countryside and have been neglected.
However, the so-called big households that can protect themselves are also a joke, no matter how big you are, you can be bigger than others to build a military army. This so-called self-preservation is nothing more than heavy bleeding to give enough benefits to let the Xingwu army go.
However, the Xingwu army came out again suddenly, and the army collected grain on the spot, okay, now there are only many people in Xingwu County, and there is not so much grain to collect, that is nearly 20,000 mouths, so it is decisive to come out of 'the landlord's family has no surplus grain'.
Either way, even for the time being, those scourges are finally gone.
No one wants to leave their hometown, especially for large families, they have many land shops in Xingwu County, and they have not worked at all since Xingwu County, and they have been suppressed a lot of money before, and now they have almost robbed the grain, and they have no capital to leave, so they can only temporarily guard this acre and three points of land and live for the time being.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that as soon as the front foot of the Xingwu Army left, a large army on the back foot drove in, and the banner on the wall became the banner of 'Acting for the Sky' and 'Shuibo Liangshan', and the card of the county government also became the three words 'Zhongyitang', good guy, this is a chaotic army, and it is also a tiger's mouth, and it dares to seize the territory where the Xingwu Army is located.
It doesn't matter if the rebellious army is destroyed, but if the war is chaotic or something, the military discipline of the military army will be raised, and if it is afraid that it will attack the city, it will be unscrupulous once, so everyone is in danger.
As a result, as soon as people came in, they issued an announcement, those who are willing to leave will never be embarrassed, those who are willing to stay can distribute a little grain, and the remaining ordinary people have any surplus food, there was a great drought last year, although Xingwu County was not seriously affected, but it was also affected and the output was reduced a lot.
As for the big families, no matter how hard the bleeding is, after all, they have a certain foundation, and it is not that they can't go overboard, at most, the standard of living in the future will be worse, but it's better than being under the jurisdiction of the rebels, making a bad fuss, and being dealt with by the accomplices in the court in the future.
"It's better to go." The corners of Chen Shuozhen's mouth raised, but it is not easy to carry out many things to keep these big households, after all, the classes are different. Then he subordinated: "Did they leave with a lot of things?" ”
"Not a few, on average, about three or four carriages per household." The subordinate replied.
"That's a lot? I think it's very rare. "Chen Shuo really has experience in fighting local tyrants, maybe the big households in Xingwu County have indeed experienced several raids by the Xingwu Army, but the more big households that have been inherited for a long time, the more they understand the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, and it is impossible not to hide.
Although Chen Shuo was really trustworthy and didn't send anyone to stop him, those big families had to be cautious, what if they really brought out all their belongings at one time, but they directly asked someone to snatch them away? Isn't it really nothing?
Therefore, Chen Shuo really dared to bet that they definitely had hidden places in Xingwu County to hide food and money.
"Pass the order, give me a careful search, especially pay attention to whether there is a hole in the ground!" Chen Shuo really gave an order, and after a while, he really gained something, and someone accidentally found a hidden hole in the ground, which contained all the gold, silver, treasures, and grain, and even beds and vents, which were obviously used for emergency refuge.
But that's just it, it's not that easy to find.
In any case, such a big movement, it is impossible to conceal it, maybe the Xingwu army does not know, but a few fast horses are non-stop straight to the Tanzhou capital city, and in an emergency, it was sent to the Tanwang Mansion that night.
"What? Are you saying that Liangshan sent troops to occupy Xingwu County? "Feng Ji can't be too surprised, although the Xingwu Army's attack on Chenghui Prefecture was facilitated by Feng Ji, but I really didn't expect that the Xingwu Army had just left, and Liangshan, which had not been able to find too many traces, immediately sent troops to occupy Xingwu County.
I can't figure it out, to be honest, even Feng Ji thinks that Xingwu County is a chicken rib today, the population is not much, the business is withering, and there are no talents.
Anyway, no matter how you look at it, I don't think there is any benefit to Liangshan occupying Xingwu County, not only that, but it will completely expose its existence, in the end, it is a chaotic army, once it emerges, it is equivalent to being ready to be beaten, no matter how you look at it, the gains outweigh the losses.
After all, Xingwu County is the station of the Xingwu Army, Feng Ji does not think that Chenghui can block the attack of the Xingwu Army, unless the Miao people do not want Chenghui to fall into the hands of the Liang again and send an army to drive away, otherwise when the Xingwu Army finishes suppressing Chenghui and returns to the division, Xingwu County must be a big battlefield, and besides, to destroy the rebels, it is impossible for the Tan Wangfu to stand idly by, and at that time, under the attack from both sides, Xingwu County will be broken.
So no matter how you look at it, this is all a stupid move, unless the hidden forces of Liangshan can not only deal with the Xingwu army, but also deal with the Tan Wangfu. But is that possible? If you really have this strength, why should you keep hiding it before.
However, when she received another piece of information the next day, Feng Ji was speechless.
Xingwu County, of course Chen Shuozhen knew that occupying Xingwu County was a risky move, and it was in the name of a chaotic army, so he had to be careful about everything.
Zhou Zaixing led the scout team to the south to inquire about the battle situation in Chenghuizhou, but found that a large number of routs were retreating towards Xingwu County, not only were they sleepy and lacking horses, but they also had no weapons. Such a good opportunity, how could Chen Shuozhen let it go.
Immediately led the army to choose an ambush, where did the Xingwu army, which had long been unable to run, still have the fighting spirit to resist, and they didn't even want to run, so they surrendered directly on their knees, and the process was quite easy.
Chen Shuozhen collected the prisoners, and at the same time sent Zhou Zaixing again, asking him to report the results of the sisters' deliberations and the current situation in Xingwu County and Wu County to Zhou Shaoyu, and then sighed with emotion, he was used to having big and small Qiao deliver news in real time, and suddenly all of them had to be delivered by letter, which was really unaccustomed.
Chen Shuozhen only thought that Chenghuizhou had a smooth sail and had already finished the Xingwu Army. However, although the result is so, the process is not so simple.
Abandoning the city wall and retreating to the county government in the city, the consequences were as Zhou Shaoyu expected, many Xingwu soldiers and soldiers went to loot property, and those who still obeyed the order to attack the county government were only more than half. Although the intensity is still high, it can finally be confronted, and the only problem is that it is too crowded, and there are few places to stay. There's no way, the whole county is concentrated here, and it's strange if it's not crowded.
The first to come to the aid was naturally Yang Miaozhen, who had a fast horse, but the people were too scarce, and the center of the war was in the city, so there were great restrictions on horse maneuvering, and the harassment that could be caused was limited. Yang Miao really wanted to kill so happily again, but she just thought about it, and it was estimated that she could kill so refreshingly, and it could only be like that once in this life.
Unless you go anywhere and find an army that doesn't even have weapons, or rush into the army formation single-handedly, it's no different from looking for death, and it won't be possible with armor. Not to mention anything else, just people with shields surround and rush over, squeezing you to death.
The one who arrived after that was Cao Jie, who went to Jingxian to transfer troops.
This Nizi has been managing Jingxian for more than a day or two, and she is also quite popular with the people on the boundaries of Jingxian, and after Li Xiuning led the troops to Dongshui County, Cao Jie volunteered to go to Jingxian to transfer troops. In her words, we may not have the ability to fight, but it is always okay to bring some troops to hurry and play the prestige of the main general.
So after a handful of Cao Jie, who was addicted to the main general, rushed to Makizhu County to take a look, he was almost not stupid, the Lun family had just left for a day, why was Makizhu County beaten like this? It's scary, there's wood.
After learning that the city was still fighting and defending, Cao Jie was anxious, and she had no other ideas with no combat experience, so she led her troops to kill inside. was almost stopped by Yang Miaozhen, otherwise the reinforcements of 1,500 people rushed in so rashly, although it could relieve Zhou Shaoyu's pressure, but what was the difference between that and delivering food.
"The county yana can still hold on, we will not send reinforcements for the time being, and divide the number of people into ten teams, first clean up the Xingwu army in the city and loot property everywhere, and reduce the number of Xingwu army." Yang Miaozhen quickly made arrangements.
It is true that if you directly attack the Xingwu army outside the county government, on the surface, it seems that you can come and attack from both sides, but the premise is that Zhou Shaoyu must still have enough manpower to attack.
However, the problem is that there are hundreds of regular soldiers left in Zhuzhu County, and the others are all requisitioned by the strong men, and since they have all been beaten here, they don't have to think about it to know that the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. Don't be killed if you can't get caught in the pinch.
And as soon as the reinforcements appeared, the Xingwu army that looted the property would not be indifferent, and when the time came, they would come from all directions to support, so that her support army would be surrounded. Therefore, it is better to clean up the scattered Xingwu army first.
"Divide a thousand men into ten teams to clear the city of enemy troops, and leave five hundred men, and immediately start building a simple defensive line." Yang Miao can really see that this is the strength of the Xingwu Army, not the existence of being beaten by various hangings before.
That's right, in the final analysis, it was the army trained by Gao Xiujun's father, and you can see from the high-priced veteran generals who defected to the army, although these people have abandoned their training, but how bad they can be after so many years, and they are not defenseless.
Therefore, in the case of few people, it is definitely not possible to play positive hard steel, even if you win, you can't afford to die, a person needs a lot of time from birth to grow into a young man who can be used, where does Chenghui come from so many people to squander, it can't be a young man recruited into the army.
Think about the Song State in the Spring and Autumn Period, located in the Central Plains, the country is not big, the whole country is only a million people, and the surrounding powers are numerous, it can be said that they are trying to survive in the cracks, and the Song State has always been very cautious, and in the end?
With a population of one million, he forced to recruit an army of 200,000, known as a big country of 5,000 times, and fought this and that, and he was done, just die, and if he didn't let other countries fight, he could almost collapse, in short, in the end, the Song State was so self-inflicted.
Far away, Yang Miaozhen's clean-up strategy finally cleaned up hundreds of people, and the rest knew that it was wrong, and ran back to gather, Yang Miaozhen, who had no other worries, began to lead a small army to harass a wave, which greatly slowed down the situation of the Xingwu army's strong attack, Wei Weidong was annoyed, and wanted to divide the troops to exterminate, but when he saw the posture of the people, even the house was demolished, just to get enough things to yard a line of defense, although it was simple, but it also occupied a favorable position.
As a last resort, he gritted his teeth, left a small part of the siege without attacking, and led others to destroy this wave of reinforcements first.
It was another attack and defense, but Leng didn't fight down, and after fighting for so long, the Xingwu army was also tired and hungry, so he could only take turns to rest and eat. But this was enough, Li Xiuning not only led the army to come, but even had time to rest for a while.
The Vermilion Bird banner fluttered, and an army of nearly 7,000 people besieged more than 3,000 Xingwu troops. Even Wei Weidong was captured.
Of course, it will definitely be killed, the Gao family will be destroyed, isn't this the one who is personally responsible? With such a deep hatred, how could Gao Xiujun not report it, Zhou Shaoyu would stop it if he was stupid.
The aftermath work in the city has begun, this time it can be said that there are heavy losses, a group of people are sitting in the county hall, the atmosphere is a little dull and low, Li Xiuning is even more blameful, feeling that as the commander of this time, he actually did not perceive the enemy's intentions, and Zhou Shaoyu and others were in danger.
However, Zhou Shaoyu felt that it had nothing to do with Li Xiuning, who would have thought that Wei Weidong's head would be hot and he would bring soldiers with blades to attack Zhuzhu County, and leave the remaining Xingwu army outside Dongshui County. But people just sit like this, and their brains are amazing.
"Stop at this point, I was about to say that I was wrong, and besides...... ...... "Zhou Shaoyu didn't finish speaking, the knife wound on his face stabbed for a while, and the pain twitched. Seeing the worried eyes of the women, he endured it, pretended to shrug his shoulders easily, and said, "It's over, I'm broken, won't you dislike me in the future?" ”
Seeing that Zhou Shaoyu was still in the mood to joke, the girls were really relieved, but Cao Jie, who has always been the most fond of tricks and jokes, turned pale and said: "Don't you say this again, I'm just the superficial woman who only looks at her appearance?" ”
That small appearance is not too serious, and there is even dissatisfaction and criticism in the tone.
Zhou Shaoyu slapped her head, if she didn't know Cao Jie's personality, maybe she would have been bluffed. Really, I don't have such a chat.
