Zhao Hao used the tactics of double defense to attack Quanzhou, although it could ensure that the Song army had enough time to capture the city, but there were also hidden worries in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He knew that according to Sun Wu's eight principles for the use of troops, it was said that 'besieging the army must be que', where the 'que' is the meaning of the gap, which means emphasizing that the gap should be left when encircling the enemy, and the same is true for siege warfare.

This account is actually very simple, if the enemy is surrounded on all sides, it may prompt the enemy commander to make up his mind to fight to the death. Conversely, if a gap is deliberately left behind, it can cause the enemy commander to vacillate between flight and death, and at the same time demoralize the enemy soldiers. More importantly, leaving a gap is not to leave it alone, but to set up an ambush in the place where the enemy must escape, so that the enemy will fall into an ambush circle in the process of hasty escape.

In particular, if the enemy besieges and holds the castle, once the enemy abandons the city and flees, he can avoid the pain of siege and completely destroy the enemy army on the field battlefield. In contrast, it is obviously much less difficult and costly to fight a fleeing enemy than to fight an enemy to the death. Generals with a little brains can calculate this account, so the siege of the division is a common tactic used by generals in all dynasties.

However, although the tactics adopted by Zhao Hao this time blocked the enemy's reinforcements, it also obviously blocked all the enemy's escape routes, leaving them with no hope of survival. Therefore, he was worried that the enemy would be trapped and fighting, especially when they had strong foreign aid, and he would not hesitate to fight with himself to the death, so that he could pay heavy sacrifices to break the city, which would be a bit more than worth the loss.

Therefore, at the beginning of the siege, Zhao Yu used a large number of ballistas to carry out a saturation attack on the enemy, hoping to destroy the enemy's barrier to defend the city and break their confidence, and then suddenly go to the city with heavy troops to make them desperate and lose the determination to continue the battle, so as not to fall into a cruel street battle after entering the city. But this time he miscalculated, the shrewdness of the businessman and the heart of sacrificing his life and money made Pu Shougeng choose to exchange the minimum cost for the greatest benefit, he took the initiative to give up the city, retreated to the house, and he had to accept Pu Shougeng's gift with trepidation.

On the grounds that the city had just been recovered, Pu Shougeng and other thieves had not yet been bound, and the remnants had not been cleared, they refused to let the emperor get into danger, and they insisted that he stay on the ship. Zhao Yu had no choice but to give up his plan to go into the city to have a look, and let Zhang Shijie lead the Chinese army into the city to continue to attack Pufu and round up the stragglers. In addition, Wen Tianxiang was allowed to enter the city to preside over political affairs, pacify the people, investigate rebellions, and contact the famous people in the city, while he could only stay outside the city and command the army to deal with the enemy soldiers who came to help.

"Your Majesty, what else do you command!" Quanzhou City was defeated, everyone was very happy, and Wen Tianxiang was also ready to enter the city and bid farewell to His Majesty.

"Wen Xiang, what should you refer to this attack on Quanzhou!" Zhao Yu thought for a while and asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that this battle is to avenge Pu Shougeng's treason and collude with the Tartars to slaughter the sons of the sect in the city; The second is to raise military funds to solve the financial difficulties of the DPRK and China! Wen Tianxiang replied.

"Well, we must not be sympathetic to the big and small demotes and rebel generals, we must be severely punished, and the coercion must also be dealt with strictly, and we must not be soft, otherwise it will not be enough to deter those relegated generals and rebels, and I am sorry for the thousands of sons who surrendered to death." Zhao Yu knew that these soldiers were fighting in their own nests, and they did not hesitate to live or die until the opponent died. However, we tend to be gentle and lenient toward those foreign enemies, so as to show the demeanor of a great country and the heart of benevolence and righteousness. Although Wen Tianxiang once led the troops to fight and was decisive and ruthless, he was a scholar after all, and he had already been soaked in the spirit of a scholar in his bones, so he had to tell him a few words.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister understands!" Wen Tianxiang bowed to the order.

"Okay, for the merchants in the city, Jia Fan who participated in the Quanzhou Incident should not be let go, the leader will be executed, the property will be confiscated, and the family members will be exiled, which also applies to those merchants. For those who are forced to cooperate, their wealth must also be confiscated, but their lives can be spared and their families can be exiled to Qiongzhou; As for those profiteers who only seek money and have no evil deeds, there is no need to delve into it, as long as they confiscate some money and pay the army. Zhao Yu instructed again, he had to set rules for Wen Tianxiang, not to let him mess around, and not to restrain his hands and feet, so as not to come in vain.

"Command!" There is nothing wrong with Wen Tianxiang thinking about it, and he should say.

"Governor Cai and Director Gao have presided over the punishment of rebellion and cleaning up the rebellion in Guangzhou, so I asked the two of them to assist the right minister!" Zhao Yu pointed at Cai Wanyi and Gao Yingsong again.

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations!" Cai Wanyi and the others immediately stepped forward to give a salute and receive the order. Cai Wanyi was even more excited at this time, he had been from Quanzhou for three years, he was just a city official at that time, but now he is a close minister of His Majesty, a member of the imperial court, and this return to his hometown can not only take revenge on his family, but also return to his hometown.

"Well, here's a list of some of the rebels in the city, you can take people like this!" Zhao Yu handed a volume of official documents on the case to Wang De and asked him to forward it to Wen Tianxiangdao.

"Your Majesty, the ministers will not miss one of them, and they will all be dedicated to the ranks!" Wen Tianxiang glanced at the list, which not only recorded his name and address, but also a detailed list of his family's population and property. He was secretly surprised, His Majesty seemed to have been prepared, and even found out the background of other people's families, so he was waiting to take someone to raid the house......

After sending everyone away, Zhao Hao's fatigue was fully revealed, and he pinched his forehead and tried his best to relax the tense nerves, but it was only in vain. Although the army has entered the city, Pu Shougeng has not yet been bound, and there are still nearly 4,000 remnants in his house, which is still a force that cannot be underestimated. And those rich businessmen are not all good people, they have more private soldiers in the house, more hundreds, less dozens, for money will not hesitate to fight, this is still a force to be reckoned with, and after entering the city, they are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark.

On the other hand, the task of sending reinforcements remains arduous. Although the men and horses of the capital were blocked by mines and grinded for several days, in the end he adopted the same method as the Japanese devils to deal with the mines, forcibly pulling livestock from nearby villages to open the way, making a way for the brigade of men and horses, and finally catching up with the end. However, it will not be easy for him to successfully cross the river held by the brave army.

Now the greatest threat to the Song army is the other two ways to help, the enemy from the Xinghua army is only a day's journey, Fuzhou is only three days' journey. And the worse news is that the enemy troops of the nearby state armies such as Tingzhou, Nanjianzhou and Shaowu are also coming to help. Zhao Yu knew that he wanted to take a handful and leave, but he instigated him to leave him in Quanzhou, and then eliminate the last resistance of the Great Song Dynasty...... (To be continued.) )
