Chapter 168: Repeating the Old Trick
Chapter 168: Repeating the old trick
As long as there is enough money and food for disaster relief, they will lay down their arms and become good people under the Ming Dynasty again.
However, the imperial court really can't come up with more money and food, and Tiemo doesn't have so much money and food to help so many people. What I saw in front of me was only tens of thousands of people, but there were wives and children behind them, dragging their families and families, and they were definitely hundreds of thousands.
has the ability to surrender, but not the ability to provide disaster relief.
This is the current situation of the imperial court, and it is also the helplessness of Tiemo and others.
Feeling that Tie Mo was in a low mood, the sand sculpture sighed, turned around and patted the other party's shoulder, "General Tie, how old is a certain family, I will say a few words to you today." ”
"Those of us who lead the army in war are destined to go to hell. Put away your conscience, you and I both know very well that if we don't kill them, they will continue to rebel, because we can't feed them. ”
"It's good to have kindness, but we can't overflow with kindness, we have limited materials in our hands, so we can only protect our own people first."
The words of the sand sculpture are like a hammer, knocking out the iron and ink, and it also knocks on everyone's hearts. These words sound very unpleasant, but they are bloody facts.
If food and salaries are insufficient, officers and men may become chaotic at any time. In order to survive, some people have become soldiers, and some people have become chaotic parties, and they are all licking blood with knives and hanging their heads on the belt of their trousers to live.
The moment they decide to become a rebel, they should know what the result is.
Tiemo thought of the first time he bartered in the Northland, and at that time, he knew very well in his heart that either the Northland barter had hope, or he died in the cold winter desert.
Never regret it, no matter what the outcome.
And now, those who were slaughtered, do they regret it?
......
A blood-colored river flowed slowly, and finally mixed into the earth. As night approached, the wind was quiet, and the sound of fighting was gone.
This battle without suspense finally ended, except for some people who fled to Shangzhou, most of the others stayed here, and even Wei Zixiang died under the hooves of the horse. When cleaning the battlefield, he found that Wei Zixiang had more than a dozen blood holes on his body, and his chest cavity had collapsed.
There was no word all night, and the soldiers packed up the corpses on the ground with a heavy heart.
Whether it is an officer or an officer, or a peasant army, no matter whether they are victorious or defeated, there is not a trace of joy on their faces.
Early the next morning, a large force of soldiers and horses came from the south, and finally stopped at a distance of thirty miles. A muscular man leaned against the adobe wall and wept silently, holding on to the wall and letting the tears run down his face.
Three into one, he supported in the center, but he didn't expect to be broken by the officers and soldiers so quickly, and even Wei Zixiang died on the way to escape.
After crying bitterly, Wang Daliang collected his mood and ordered to turn around and return to Shangzhou. The battle is over, Luonan City is also controlled by officers and soldiers, and there is no point in going further north, for the sake of how to keep Shangzhou and Shanyang City.
Luonan City fell, and the location of Shanyang City became more important than Shangzhou. Wang Daliang now has an idea, that is, to increase the army in Shanyang, as long as Shanyang is still in his hands, he can attack and retreat and defend, but it is really not good, go south from Shanyang, break through the encirclement, return to Hanzhong, and kill back to Sichuan and Shu.
With a heavy heart, Wang Daliang returned to Shangzhou City. After returning to the city, he had the defeated troops who had withdrawn from Luonan City arranged for them to be arranged separately in the south.
The defeated soldiers were demoralized, filled with panic and despair. If these people are mixed into the soldiers and horses of Shangzhou, it will bring down the morale of the soldiers of Shangzhou.
Subsequently, Wang Daliang gathered the leaders of all walks of life to discuss the next plan. From the mouth of the rout, I got a lot of news, this time the officers and soldiers were not only the soldiers and horses of Wu Laogou in Sichuan, but also the border army. Wei Zixiang's death made Wang Daliang and others sober up a lot.
Playing against Wu Guofu before, he was as stable as a rock, and gradually became inflated, wanting to occupy Shangluo Road for a long time and manage this territory well. But as soon as Wei Zixiang died, everyone understood.
If the officers and men attack with ruthless intentions, they really can't resist it. This Shangluo Road is a battleground for soldiers, and it is not a good place from ancient times to the present.
"Brother Wang, now that Luonan City has fallen into the hands of officers and soldiers, the idea of us crossing the Tong Pass and entering Shaanxi is obviously not working. The plan for today is to return to Hanzhong as soon as possible, and the place of Shangluo is too easy to be entangled by officers and soldiers. ”
Well, Wang also had this idea. Wu Laogou led his troops into Shangluo, Hanzhong and northern Sichuan will inevitably be weakly defended, and if we withdraw at this time, we may be able to kill the officers and soldiers by surprise. ”
Wang Daliang actually made up his mind for a long time, and the reason why he discussed it was just to hear everyone's opinions.
In fact, at the beginning, Wang Daliang led his troops north, just to enter Shaanxi and take refuge in Wang Jiayin. However, no one expected that he would make a storm in Shangluo Road, but Wang Jiayin retreated to the northwest, and Wu Yangui died in northern Shaanxi.
Sometimes I have to say that things are really mysterious, Wang Daliang is bent on going north, but Wang Jiayin, who is in Shaanxi, has been trying to find a way to cross the Yellow River south and get out of Shaanxi. Wang Daliang felt that Shaanxi was better, while Wang Jiayin felt that the Central Plains was more promising.
......
At night, in a dilapidated courtyard in the south of Shangzhou City, several figures gathered together and quietly plotted something.
"What time is it?"
"Head, it should be almost time now."
"Hey? Inform the brothers, prepare secretly, and when the time comes, with fire as the signal, everyone will disperse in the city, try to distract the attention of the chaotic party, and find a way to knock down the north gate! ”
A big man's eyebrows furrowed, he clenched his fists, and the void waved. The faint moonlight swept across the face, revealing a resolute face. Li Wanqing's mood is very complicated, excited and a little nervous, this is the task that he took the initiative to ask Ying, if he can successfully take Shangzhou, it will be a great achievement, if he fails, then he will not be able to trust General Tie.
The time passed, the ugly time came quickly, and most people had fallen asleep by this time. In the silence, suddenly a fire burst into the sky in a house in the southern city, followed by bursts of shouting and scolding, mixed with occasional screams.
Some of the routs who fled from the city of Lonan went mad, killing the people around them, and then setting fire to the house.
The change came so suddenly that many people died in their dreams before they woke up.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire South Street was plunged into chaos, and the patrol team blew its whistle and began to rush towards the South City. But at this time, South Street became a pot of porridge, some people set fires, some people put out fires, and some people secretly attacked.
Wang Daliang woke up from his sleep, and when he knew the details of the matter, he shook his body and slapped him hard in the face.
Careless, the officers and soldiers used this trick to capture Luonan City, but they didn't expect that they didn't take precautions.
However, who would have thought that as soon as the officers and soldiers used this trick, they would immediately repeat the old trick, and even if they were to defend it, it would not be easy to prevent it, unless all those defeated soldiers in Luonan City were put under house arrest for a few days to observe.
"Pass the order, all the defeated troops in Luonan City will go to the vegetable market entrance to assemble and increase the patrol, but anyone who is still wandering outside and doesn't know where they belong will be killed on the spot!"
Wang Daliang was enraged this time, even if it was a manslaughter, he would slaughter all the officers and soldiers who had infiltrated the city.
