Chapter 252: The Blood-Stained Executioner

Cai Gengdao was quite embarrassed to face Wang Xiu, and during the siege of Liguo, he stopped moving forward, for fear that Song Jiang would not be able to take Liguo to deal with him. "Words * love * first * hair

Thousands of bandits approached Xuzhou, and he couldn't stand it. Almost every day, the emergency Guantang was announced, and the reinforcements from Jingxi unexpectedly gathered in Pengcheng, so that he gradually calmed down, and analyzed that this was Wang Hao's calculation. However, he was really afraid of the strong combat effectiveness of the Song Jiang troops, so he did not forcibly ask for reinforcements to go north, and more than 70 miles became a moat, and sat back and watched Wang Xiu struggle.

Wang Xiu unexpectedly Zhao'an Song Jiang, a big crisis turned into a big embarrassment, he also became Zhao'an's envoy, how could he have the face to see Wang Xiu

The edict did not stipulate the number of troops for Wang Xiu, but several guards were eager to go north to grab fruits and fruits to eat under the instruction of Wang Huang, and he strictly ordered the reinforcements not to enter the territory of Li Guo in order to redeem a little good fate with Wang Xiu, but only sent a part of the soldiers and horses to station.

Wang Xiu gave priority to the selection of the material Guantang, and he also approved it, which is the fruit of people's victory, and it makes sense for people to eat first.

Cai Gengdao's kindness, Wang Xiu understood it, and he didn't blame Cai Gengdao, what he said now is all fart, and snatching the fruits of victory is true.

The selection of elite soldiers is very simple, he took the Li Guojian soldiers and horses as the core, formed a thousand elite cavalry, added Feng Yuan, Jing Bo, and Qiu Yun to the army, and became the capital military envoy who was not a general, and the soldiers who participated in the defense of the Li country were transferred to two thousand to form four commands, a total of six core soldiers and horses, led by Qiu Fu and Shangguan Qian.

Song Jiang has too many subordinates, he can't keep them all, and he has to leave some soup for others to drink, otherwise it will cause public anger, don't look at these people fighting and only promise, his mother can grab fruits and eat more than anyone else.

More than 18,000 people left more than 4,000 people, all of whom were the elite core team of Song Jiang and others, and the rest were basically stored like cannon fodder, and they were given to them, and there was nothing distressing. As for those excellent armor battles, I'm sorry, all of them are collected and used for your own use, and if you don't contribute to share the benefits, forget it, if you want something else, it's better to save it

In this way, Wang Xiu formed an army of more than 7,000 people, almost equivalent to a medium-sized general in the Western Army, and few people spoke. Everyone has more or less benefits, people really deal with it, and they feel ashamed to take things themselves.

Since Wang Xiu was going to fight in the south, Youqin Mo Yan was quite aware of the righteousness, and at Qin Xianrong's courteous invitation, the two daughters went to Tokyo together, as for whether she and Wen Xijun could get along, it was not within Wang Xiu's consideration.

Wang Qingjiao came from Tokyo and hurried, Lu Yao also came, they also had to set up the Wang family's iron smelting workshop and mine, according to Wang Xiu's construction, Wang Qingjiao focused on the purchase of iron ore and coal mines, this thing is a resource, and only by mastering the resources can he engage in a large amount of production.

She was also very reluctant for her brother to go on the expedition, but she also understood that this was her brother's future, but she just told her that she must take care of herself when she went out, and completely forgot that her brother was the commander of the first army.

Wang Xiu felt a burst of warmth at the old sister's nagging, he patiently listened to Wang Qingjiao's explanation, and gave her a big lesson in resources.

There was another unexpected thing, Lu Tianshou survived, and he recklessly found Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu was not surprised, asked the other party's wishes, and immediately sent someone to send Lu Tianshou to Tokyo.

"Da Lang, will it be to let the tiger return to the mountain, Zhang Qiyuan, this kid is attached to the prince, it has become the climate, Lu Tianshou obviously still has resentment, I am afraid that they will collude with wolves." Qiu Fu was all worried.

Wang Xiu raised his eyebrows, and said indifferently: "Why did the lost dog kill him, he is still useful, uncle, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

This new army did not stop and arrived in Jiangning at the end of December, and the speed was very fast.

At this time, Fang La's army captured Hangzhou, Zhao Zhen, who knew Hangzhou, abandoned the city and fled when he saw that the situation was not good, and Chen Jian and Zhao Yue were killed by the two Zhejiang road systems, and the officials of Hangzhou fell into bad luck, and were almost killed by Fang La, and even Cai Jing's ancestral grave was also excavated, and the bones of the ancestors were soaked on the road for others to trample.

Wang Xiu and Zhong Liqiu had a night talk, and the next day they brought Zong Liang to serve as an opportunistic text and quickly went south.

In the first month of the third year of Xuanhe, he crossed Huzhou into Xiuzhou, and in the face of Fang Qifo's tens of thousands of troops, he took the initiative to attack without hesitation, and hit Fang Qifo by surprise, recovering Chongde County in one fell swoop, killing more than 4,000 Fang troops, and curbing Fang La's sad attempt, thus becoming famous in one fell swoop.

He led his army to fight on the front line of Huzhou and Xiuzhou, and persevered until the advance of Wang Yu's East Road army arrived, and defeated Fang Qifo's 70,000 army in one fell swoop.

In February, he surrounded Hangzhou with Tong Guan's main army, and personally led more than 1,000 cavalry of Qiu Fu's army to plunder the formation. Fang Labu people started in the south, there was a lack of horses, he was a strong force after the bloody battle of the country, everyone wore full armor, it can be said that the armor and cavalry, the Fang soldiers were poorly equipped, where was their opponent.

Wang Xiu and Qiu Fubing killed the large array of the Fang army in two ways, three in and three out and met at the moat of the north gate, and then the mighty thin city passed, and the morale of the Fang army defenders declined to the extreme, and finally they were forced to retreat when they ran out of food.

In the battle to counterattack Fang La's counterattack on Hangzhou, Tong Guan entrusted him with an important task, controlled Wang De, Han Shizhong and other departments, and launched a big battle with Fang's army in Xixing Town.

He also centered on the heavy cavalry, and the front was pressed by crossbowmen step by step, and more than 1,000 horsemen carried out a great detour. When the cavalry went around the back of the Fang army, Fang La's defeat was decided, and more than 100,000 soldiers were defeated like a mountain, beheading more than 30,000 people.

In April, Fang La was completely defeated, and the Song army from all walks of life was helping Yuanhui to make peace, and Fang La led more than 200,000 soldiers and their families to fight the trapped beasts.

Although Wang Xiu's department suffered heavy losses, it was still used as the main force, and Song Jiang's original soldiers and horses still had more than 2,000 soldiers, and less than 20 of the more than 30 brothers remained, but the living people held their breath and made the final impact.

Feng Yuan, Jing Bo and Qiu Yun shined, and were made tiger generals by Tong Guan and Wang Yu and others, especially Jing Bo rode alone in a thin formation, and the iron-armored shell arrows were shot into hedgehogs, and they were still struggling forward, and finally led the rout of the Wuzhou army.

In the last battle, Wang Xiu asked the department to open the killing ring, if you have the ability, you can rob me, as long as you can destroy Fang La for me, even Tong Guan was shocked by his killing intention.

After a bloody battle, more than 100,000 Song troops annihilated more than 70,000 Fang troops and captured more than 30 people, including Fang La, his wife Shao Shi, his son Fang Bo and Prime Minister Fang Fei.

The soldiers of the Song army did all kinds of evil, burning, killing and looting, especially Wang De, Han Shizhong and others slaughtered women and children, and looted wealth.

Wang Xiu became famous in the first battle, and his subordinates also gained a lot, the soldiers and horses of Liguo who went south were compiled as the 98th general of Jingdong, Qiu Fu served as the deputy general in charge of the affairs of the whole army, and Feng Yuan, Jing Bo and Qiu Yun were all awarded the rank of banned officers from Jiupin.

He himself also made outstanding achievements, Tong Guan praised him, and praised that if there was no Wang Xiu, Xiuzhou and Huzhou might not be guaranteed, and Fang La would be able to use Hangzhou as the rear to withstand the offensive of the Song army, and the war would never end so quickly.

I can't help but say that Tong Guan is in the middle of the story, and he is not jealous of Wang Xiu's military exploits, of course, there is no need to be jealous, but he is quite protective of him.

There is already a royal history ready to impeach, Wang Xiu's military discipline in the war is very bad, although there is no large-scale looting of the people, but the other party is extremely cruel. His troops did not take prisoners, and almost every battle had to be slaughtered, causing the soldiers and soldiers of Fang to listen to the Jingdong army, all of them did not change color, this cruel behavior was inhumane, but Wang Xiu had no bitterness.

After development, Fang La claims to have millions of people, and occupies the geographical advantage, people, once the climate is formed, it may be impossible to shake off, causing a national riot. Moreover, he had just arrived, and in the face of Fang Qifo's army of 70,000, he had to fight without moving, and every one of them had to lighten the burden, and leaving no prisoners was the best choice.

In the later period, it was also because of Fang La's great power and Song Junli's quick victory, Wang Xiu decided to take killing as a commandment, and use iron-blooded killing methods to destroy the morale of Fang's soldiers, so as to achieve the goal of destroying the enemy's fighting courage.

This trick is indeed very effective, Wang Xiu was named bloodthirsty, and even this army was also prestigious, and the Fang sergeants who passed by were terrified, and often did not dare to fight with them, so they were weakened in momentum.

When he went back, he passed by Jiangning Mansion and saw Zhong Liqiu again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sir, I have become famous for being a murderer, and I really don't know how to face Jiangdong's father." ”

Zhong Liqiu's face was solemn. Zhengse said, "The two armies are fighting fiercely, Fang La has millions of people, arrogant, the teacher of benevolence and righteousness can only make mistakes, it is normal for you to be decisive on the sofa, and it is good to have a clear conscience when doing big things." ”

For the elites of society, governing the country and leveling the world and realizing the ambitions in their hearts can be sacrificed as long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, as long as they think it is right. Wang Xiu understood this truth, he was subtly adapting, and said quietly: "What Mr. said is, it's a pity that the killing is too heavy, 200,000 people have been slaughtered, and the mountains and rivers are all red, I'm afraid I'm going to fall into the hell of Ah Bi." ”

"For the sake of your family and country, what are your crimes" Zhong Liqiu sighed lightly and said: "Don't worry about it, it's better to plan for yourself, you are too popular." ”

Wang Xiu was silent, in order to achieve victory, he chose drastic means, and it was also the most correct strategy he thought, whether it was strict military law, or unlimited killing, it was all eye-catching, the imperial historian must say something, and some people with a heart should also make a fuss, especially killing Wu Haoming's house, this cause and effect is not small.

"The old inspector is good, he got the deputy general by virtue of his military exploits, well, it's very good, those three boys will also be quick in the future, but they have to be carefully carved before they can be completed," Zhong Liqiu ignored Wang Xiu's thoughts and talked eloquently.

Wang Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly, looked at Zhong Liqiu and said, "Sir, I'm too anxious for quick success, and the future will be very difficult, I hope Mr. will teach me." "You get it, I thought you didn't care." The corners of Zhong Liqiu's mouth turned up, and he smiled narrowly, looking leisurely and complacent. Wang Xiu's mouth was bitter for a while, and he said, "Do you want to stay or go?"
