City of Light (3)

As for the future, the Jianwu (Chang) Army commanded the army of Wanhu Wuzhong, but he didn't think about it so long-term. In fact, from the moment the Breaker Army succeeded in encircling and annihilating the Yetmi Army, the local warlord, who had 20,000 troops, firmly implemented the line of "neutrality" at the suggestion of his staff. Therefore, when the generals under his command came to report that the Guangchang garrison had defeated all the thousands of thieves and men who crossed the border after a bloody battle, Wu Zhong took the battle report and threw it into the garbage basket in front of his subordinates without even reading it.

There is no need to ask, Wu Zhong also knew that the defenders of Guangchang did not have any casualties after the "bloody battle". Needless to say, from the commander who defended the city to the head of the card below, he won a lot. And a considerable part of the loot is paid in large yuan.

But Wu Zhong did not intend to debunk these tricks under his command. This kind of trick of deceiving the upper and lower levels was already rotten and not new when he was still the general of the Great Song Xiang Army. For the sake of his own safety and the "money journey" of his brothers, he must continue to play until the battle situation becomes clear, and the Northern Yuan and the Broken Army are clearly separated from each other.

Out of self-interest, he didn't want Dachun to win as soon as possible. Not only is this the case himself, but in private, Wu Zhong affirmed through the channel of his master Su Can that almost the entire new annexed army generals in Jiangnan have this idea. In the letters exchanged between some civilian aides, they even did not shy away from emphasizing the viewpoint of "sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight."

Dachun quickly eliminated the Broken Army, not in line with the interests of everyone. Aside from the monthly benefits from the smuggling trade and the filial piety of the merchants in the past, for the sake of their own survival, the generals of the new annexed army did not want the Great Yuan to wipe out the remnants of the Song Dynasty as soon as possible.

The combat effectiveness of the new annexed army was low, and most of the generals who led the troops were born in the Song Dynasty Xiang Army. Kublai Khan had always had the intention of leaving this one useless and at any time in danger of mutiny. However, based on the consideration that the remnants of the Song Dynasty have not been completely eliminated and still need to buy people's hearts, they have not been moved. If Dachun successfully solves the remnants of the Song Dynasty, the 400,000 new annexed troops in Jiangnan will be in danger of disbanding, and thousands of generals and staff members will go home to become rich men. With no soldiers to hold in their hands, they are just fourth-class people who have become rich. The property accumulated after half a lifetime of looting may fall into the pockets of the Mongol aristocracy in the blink of an eye, or become the contribution of the tax collector.

With his past political experience, Wu Zhong is not overly optimistic about the Broken Army. The prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty is both civil and military, and everyone sees this. However, with the characteristics of the Great Song Dynasty, the more civil and military people are, the more likely they are to be deprived of power, and even die on trumped-up charges. Since the release of military power with a glass of wine, the status of literati in the Song Dynasty has always been higher than that of military generals. Therefore, civilian officials have always regarded their comrades who lead troops as an alternative, rather than one of them. For military generals who can fight and recite poetry, they are regarded as a threat to the entire civilian class. Officials have their own means of dealing with threats. It can make Yue Wumu easily lose his head, and he can also let Han Shizhong and the others stand aside obediently, and even for a potential threat like Xin Qiji, he is vigilant enough that he will never be able to command the army again in his life.

Wu Zhong can be sure that as the Xing dynasty gradually gained a foothold, the first thing that the officials of the DPRK and China thought of was to deprive Wen Tianxiang of his military power. This is the power of countless hands united behind the scenes, and Wen Tianxiang has no strength to resist it at all. As for whether the rest of the people can bring soldiers after depriving Wen Tianxiang of his military power, whether he can convince the upper and lower levels of the Broken Army, that is a later story, and it is not within the scope of the officials' consideration.

Therefore, Wu Zhong, who remained neutral, left everything in the future behind. Every day, a large number of new products in the Shaowu region are scattered out of his rule, and all kinds of materials from the outside world flow into Shaowu through his jurisdiction, and he turns one eye open and closes one eye. Anyway, when it comes time to distribute benefits, Master Su Can will naturally take back the penny he deserves. He also assigned soldiers to play a game of catching thieves among officers and soldiers, and by the way, created a false appearance of a conflict with the broken army that came across the border, and covered up the truth of the secret collusion between his subordinates and the broken army.

"My lord, the submission to Zhongcheng has been written, please take a look!" Master Su Can walked over, respectfully handed over an official document with both hands, bent down with the situation, and picked up the battle report in the waste paper basket.

Concealing from the top and not from the bottom, this is the practice of officialdom. Although the war report is fake, it will be a proof of prevarication in the future. As a master, Su Can has always been very conscientious. Not only do you have to make plans for Dong Weng, but you also have to use all your strength to eliminate all hidden dangers invisibly.

Wu Zhong took the official document, and as usual, he started to use the seal without reading it. He Hao did not doubt Su Can's loyalty, and his staff in Jiangsu and Zhejiang had always been famous. They mess with each other and make some off-the-table deals for their bosses. By colluding with each other and referring each other, a special group has been formed, with credibility and competence guaranteed......

"My lord, my subordinates heard that the bandits who were defeated this time were under the banner of two families, half of them were the Broken Army, half of them were the Liberation Army, half of them were cavalry and half of them were infanciers, adding up to more than 3,000 people?" While packing up the official documents, Su Can reminded Wu Zhong in a low voice not to make mistakes in the specific details, "Our army guarded the city day and night, killing hundreds of thieves. The thieves saw that I was resolutely resisting, and they abandoned the city for fear of being surrounded by people from all walks of life! ”

"Well, I know, the bandits who fled into Junshan last time are still not there, in order to prevent them from colluding with the thieves, you arranged for someone to kill him. The head is sealed, pick a few hideous faces, count them as a broken army, and pass them to the king of Jiangxi Politics! Wu Zhong twisted his few short beards and replied with a deep groan.

The bandits on the military mountain are a group of rogues who plague the people under the banner of the Great Song Dynasty. At the beginning of the year, the new annexed army gave way to the mountain road from Junshan to Jianning, but this group of bandits did not go to Shaowu to join the new annexed army. According to Wuzhong's intentions, he originally wanted to be exterminated as soon as possible, but he was forcibly stopped by his master Su Can under the pretext that he would be useful in the future. Now that the defenders of Guangchang let the captives cross the border, they have to do some cover-ups. The decapitation happened to fall on this gang of thieves.

"Your Excellency is wise!" Su Can replied with a smile. It is his blessing to keep up with a boss like Wu Zhong, who is thorough at all. The Northern Yuan Dynasty did not open imperial examinations for Han and Southern people, and the way out for scholars depended on officials from all walks of life. When the master's family is in trouble, the master must stand up without hesitation, bear all the faults on his shoulders, and abandon himself to protect the master.

"The rout of the captives has passed through the border, and we have defended the city with our strength, and we have fulfilled our responsibilities as ministers. But if you still come back from us, it won't be good. Therefore, you still have to clean up the city, and the overseers must not slack off! Wu Zhong shook his head and said with a wry smile. He knows better than anyone else the combat effectiveness of these wretched people under his command, and if he forces them to stand in front of the Broken Army, they will definitely disperse in a hurry. How to prevent the broken army that crossed the border from going and returning depends on the master's "planning" ability.

"The villain understands, the villain will arrange it!" Su Can smiled and agreed, and between the master and servant, they knew each other.

"There's no hurry, you sit!" Wu Zhong pointed to the chair in front of him and said with a smile.

"In front of adults, where there is a villain's seat, it's good to stand, it's good to stand!" Su Can said with a smiling face, but his butt slowly rubbed over and stuck to the edge of the chair. He and Wu Zhong have been friends for a long time, and they are familiar with each other's temperament, so they don't have too much courtesy in their words and deeds.

"The Broken Army has sent Quanzhou, do you know?" Wu Zhong asked as he sorted out his spotless clothes. Although he was on the opposing side, he might have to fight each other in the future, but the news of the successive victories of the Broken Capture Army still encouraged him. Sometimes, he even fantasized about himself as the general of the Broken Army, leading his men to gallop across the country.

"The subordinates knew that the vendors passing by said that they had been trapped in Quanzhou. On Tingzhou's side, Lord Zhongcheng also strengthened his offensive against Shao Wu, trying to encircle Wei and save Zhao! Su Can knew the news from the front line well, and he came one by one, and he didn't see any rustiness.

The news that Dachun mobilized men and horses to storm Shao Wu's army came at the same time as the news that Wen Tianxiang's troops were trapped in Quanzhou. The situation on both sides is not very optimistic. On the Ninghua side, under the command of Uncle Zou Feng, the Broken Army did not give up an inch of land with the terrain and the castle built of stones. On the outskirts of Quanzhou, the left wing army, which had no way to retreat, also went out and desperately pushed the broken army to the periphery, and it is said that the corpses of the defenders had blocked the Luoyang River.

"At present, Fan Wenhu, the governor of the two Zhejiang provinces, and Liu Shen, the deputy marshal of the Han army, have stepped up their offensive. It's just that the soldiers and horses of Liangzhejiang are already weak, and the generals below are selfish, so they have been blocked by Xiao Mingzhe on the front line of Shouning. And Liu Shen's soldiers and horses are on par with Mrs. Xu's Xing Song Army's combat effectiveness, and they can't be seen for a while. Su Can dipped his fingers in some tea and hastily drew it on the table.

I don't know if it's because he looks down on the combat effectiveness of the Jianwu Army, Da Chun has not ordered the Jianwu Army to press on all fronts for the time being. Wu Zhong and Su Can were not worried about this either. The order from above has come down, and they have their own countermeasures. It's a big deal to go to the front line of Baizhangling to bluff and shoot a few arrows into the air, anyway, the new annex army is not the opponent of the Broken Army, and Da Chun can't force Wu Zhong to kill Shao Wu.

The only thing that made the two of them puzzled was the murderous king Suodu. This Tatar head, who has always been heavily armed by Kublai Khan, has more than 10,000 Mongol troops and more than 10,000 Tanma Red troops, and more than 30,000 young and strong servants who have been cobbled together. Some time ago, he and Zhang Yuan were inseparable across the Jiulong River, but now they suddenly stopped moving.

"You say, is Prime Minister Wen besieging the city to help!" Wu Zhong tapped the table with his fingers, and his brows furrowed into a Sichuan character. He has led troops for many years, and he has never fought a big battle, but his knowledge is no less than others.

"I guess Prime Minister Wen didn't play very well with this hand, and Suo Du was a little hesitant. In addition, he has never liked Pu Shougeng, and he didn't get any benefits from rescuing Quanzhou last time, but this time, he simply let Pu Shougeng and Wen Cheng fight each other! Su Can hesitated to analyze. Suodu likes to slaughter cities, but Da Chunzhong Cheng once strictly ordered that no killing is allowed in cities that surrender. So when he entered Quanzhou twice, Lord Suodu failed to enjoy himself. The Pu brothers' positions are higher than him, and they are all guys who regard wealth as their lives. There will definitely not be too much filial piety to him, with the estrangement last time, this time, even if he can save it, he will not work hard to save it! ”

"In this way, the Pu family is estimated to be finished, but I don't know that after taking Quanzhou, Prime Minister Wen will not have time to save Shao Wu!"

"Do you think that Da Chun Zhongcheng still has a chance to capture Shao Wu?" Su Can asked with a smile, as if he had participated in the formulation of the overall plan of the Broken Army.

"What do you mean by that?" Wu Zhong raised his head hesitantly and looked at his master. This guy who will understand for a while, and will be confused for a while, is expected to be the best in the ten, he said this, there must be a mystery that has not been revealed.

"My lord, you forgot that there was a rout and fled to Xingguo!" Su Can reminded in a low voice, and swiped his finger lightly on the tabletop, outlining a sharp arrow.

"What do you mean by that?" Wu Zhong asked again. Faintly, he felt that the situation was a little out of control, and the broken army that crossed the border from his own jurisdiction would bring great disasters to himself.

"Our Jianwu Army is also well-armoured, and if we really start a war with the Broken Army, what do you think are the odds of victory?" Su Can did not directly answer Wu Zhong's question, but instead taught him his perception of his own strength.

"Originally, morale and ordnance were much worse, and they took people with short hands, and they ate people with soft mouths, and they would collapse without a touch, I could already go to the Buddha to burn incense" Wu Zhong thought about it and replied with a sigh.

"Since the adults can only defeat this remnant bandit, try to protect the city. In Jiangxi Province, I don't know which other force can block the way of the Liukou! Su Can said in a long voice. There was an indescribable ridicule in his tone.

"Shhhh Luring the wolf into the house, he has taken on the responsibility of taking it too far. In the entire province of Jiangxi, the troops are at the junction of Jiangxi and Fujian, and the rear is almost blank, and in some places, there are not even many new annexed troops to maintain law and order. Previously, it had been stirred up by Ximen Biao, but now, out of thin air, another broken army is killed, and it is foreseeable that in a short time, the entire Jiangnan West Road will rekindle the flames of war.

"Prime Minister Wen plays this hand high, you hit yours, I beat mine. It turned out that the Great Song Dynasty defended everywhere, and the Great Yuan soldiers and horses went back and forth. Now, Da Yuan has assumed the responsibility of defending the territory, and whether the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty can come and go freely depends on the ability of the generals who lead the team! Su Can stretched out his hand and wiped all the water stains on the table. With Wu Zhong's analysis, he didn't want too many people to know. Although the current Da Song is full of vitality, who can predict that he will not return to the light. What I am doing now is completely out of the little conscience that remains of the reader. I don't ask for anything in return, but I beg not to cause too much trouble for myself and the proprietor.

"You've been with me for so many years. I haven't hidden anything big or small from you. You've been to the south, and tell me, can the one in the south be able to grow? Wu Zhong stood up, looked at the sword that had been hanging on the wall for many years, and asked in a low voice. Deep inside, an impulse suddenly surged to pull the sword out of its sheath and swing it where it wanted to be swung. With all the dreams of a warrior.

"My lord, I'm afraid that in the end, it's still a good dream!" The cold sigh crushed the fire in Wu Zhong's heart into charcoal.

"Hey!" In the main hall, there were two heavy sighs. The Great Song Dynasty has been weak for 300 years, with the shoulders of a scholar, is it really capable of turning the tide?

Wu Zhong didn't know, and he didn't want to think about it.
