Chapter 980: Justified? It's not straight, it's strong
It is also sad and ridiculous to say, in the turmoil of Zhuozhou City, Dong Kuang, who is the chief general of the Changsheng army, has become the person who has nothing to do with all this. From the very beginning, he was controlled by Yu Wanyao and other subordinates, and then he could only listen to the continuous killing outside, until the Shandong army defeated the Liao army and controlled the overall situation, and then led it out of a house on the edge of the garrison.
But at this time, Zhuozhou was no longer in Dong Kuang's grasp, and the soldiers and horses of his subordinates were even more dead and fleeing, and even he himself was kept watched by the Song army. Fortunately, Sun Tu still retained a certain affection for him, and did not really kill him, which allowed him to live until now, and came to the door with hatred, wanting to ask for an explanation.
Seeing him so reckless and rampant, the soldiers were naturally quite annoyed, and many soldiers around him had already shown their swords and guns, shouting loudly. Until Sun Tu appeared at the gate, waved his hand and said, "Let General Dong come in and speak." They retreated to the side with some haze, and let him in.
Dong Kuang's face was also full of anger, and after entering the door, he stared at Sun Tu and sneered: "Sun Tu, General Sun, you are really calculating and calculating." In vain, I trust you so much, I can't imagine that I have been using and deceiving me all along, your elite subordinates have actually arrived nearby, but they only watched from the wall, and finally took advantage of the chaos to seize my Zhuozhou, you are so despicable! ”
In the face of such accusations, Sun Tu seemed quite calm, and he didn't see the slightest anger, but just looked at Dong Kuang with a smile: "General Dong, I ask myself enough to be worthy of you." Dare to ask, before defending the city, which time did I not lead my brothers to rush to the front line, and which time did my brothers and I not fight bloodily and suffered heavy casualties? Moreover, my subordinates entered the city to fight not your Changsheng army, but the Liao army. On the contrary, it was the victorious army under your command that did not obey the agreement to open the city and surrendered, so that my soldiers and horses had to attack Zhuozhou. ”
"You...... You're simply reversing black and white! If your army had intervened in this battle earlier, why would there have been such an outcome! I remember clearly that you promised that reinforcements would arrive soon, but what happened...... What is this not treachery? Dong Kuang was really angry, completely ignoring his current situation, and scolded loudly again and again.
In this regard, Sun Tu sneered again: "General Dong, you said this lightly. But you only mentioned that my men and horses refused to fulfill their promises, but did not mention whether you were also not honest enough? ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Why, do you still want to deceive me at this time? During these days, do you really think you can hide those secret conversations with your subordinates and other people? Your Chang Shengjun has never had the heart to die with the Liao army, only thinking about the two ends of the first rat between my Song and Liao, and even secretly sent people to meet with the Liao people, do I don't know anything about these things? Sun Tu stared at the other party's eyes and revealed some hidden truths: "Also, why did you fall for the trick of Yu Wanyao and others, and actually caused the city to lose all three gates in one night, these things are really something that a few of them can do?" ”
After asking these words, Dong Kuang's face immediately changed, and his eyes fell, and he didn't dare to look at Sun Tu anymore. When some things are not exposed, he can pretend that nothing has happened and blame others as a victim. But now, when Sun Tu exposed the truth of the matter in front of him, he couldn't force himself to calm down anymore, and opened his eyes and said nonsense that he was innocent.
Sun Tu took another step closer, stared at him and said: "Actually, I also know the difficulties of your often victorious army, the lack of troops, the wavering spirit of the army, and the exhaustion of military rations, all of which force you to no longer be able to persevere." But even if you really want to give up defending Zhuozhou City, you have to at least let us know first, right? But what did you do before that? ”
Dong Kuang's head hung lower, but soon, he thought of something again, suddenly raised his head again, and looked at Sun Tu: "Even so, it was you who first used my Changsheng army in front, if we can hold Zhuozhou, how can we choose to give up surrender in this way?" ”
"Because I don't trust you! Your Changsheng army has always wavered between Song and Liao, with your own wishful thinking, so it is impossible for me to really let my subordinates take risks. What's more, I believe that with the strength of Zhuozhou City, as long as you really defend it wholeheartedly, it will be enough to drag down the Liao army, and then our army will be able to break the enemy with one blow! ”
"So in the end, from the beginning to the end, you are still using my Chang Shengjun and my trust in you!" Dong Kuang said angrily.
The topic returned to its original position, but this time, Dong Kuang's momentum was not as fierce as just now, after all, in a sense, his own actions were not so glorious.
But Sun Tu's next reaction surprised him again, and he actually nodded his head: "Yes, I am using you." After all, you are not my subordinate brother, and the Changsheng army is not my Great Song army, so why should I use the lives of my subordinates to fulfill you? Wouldn't it be the best result for you to lose a battle with the Liao army, and then I will bring troops to clean up the mess, and take Zhuozhou as easily as I do now? ”
"You ......" Sun Tu admitted this so calmly, but Dong Kuang's anger didn't know how to vent, and he could only stare at the other party with hatred: "Despicable!" ”
"Ci is not in charge of the army, since I am the commander of the three armies, I should focus on the overall situation in everything, as for what kind of promise, it is just a small section. And I've already given you a chance, but if you haven't grasped it yourself, who is to blame? ”
Sun Tu paused, looked at him again and said, "There is another point, the husband is not guilty. This Zhuozhou is related to the result of my Song Liao battle, the ownership of Youzhou City, how can you always win the army, how can you actually want to steal it for yourself? Since you have such ambitions, but you do not have the corresponding strength, you should bear the consequences. Pharmacist Guo is like this, and so are you. But you're luckier than him, and my Sun Tu can't cross the river and tear down the bridge and kill you, so at least your safety isn't a problem. As for the military power and the city here, it has nothing to do with you. ”
It is said that they are justified, but today Sun Tu told Dong Kuang that sometimes it is possible to be strong if you are not justified. As long as you are in control of the situation and have military power in your hands, it is enough to suppress everything. As for his so-called Xingshi questioning, now it seems that it is just a joke.
Of course, in real terms, Dong Kuang is also to blame. It was his own lack of persistence that caused the current result. If he hadn't chosen to retreat and hadn't conspired with his men to sell Zhuozhou, maybe over time, the Song army would really have come out of the shadows and cooperate with them to defeat the Liao army.
It's a pity that all this has become a foregone conclusion, and there is no such thing as ifs. At this time, if he was asked if he had any regrets, Dong Kuang would have said that he should not believe Sun Tu, as early as more than half a month ago, he should have killed Sun Tu and others, and then surrendered to the Liao army.
Sun Tu only waved at him in the end, and asked Dong Kuang to be taken down to be strictly guarded, and then turned to leave. Although Dong Kuang's martial arts are still there, under the care of thousands of Shandong soldiers and soldiers around him, as well as countless bows and crossbows, he did not dare to act rashly, and in the end he had no choice but to accept such a result.
After all, it is better to die than to live, at least compared to Yu Wanyao and others, he can be regarded as saving his life, and this is better than too many people.
After solving Dong Kuang's problem, Sun Tu found that the time had reached the fourth watch. Exhausted, he didn't bother with anything else, so he went back to his lodgings first and slept well. The fight started from the night before, and this day and night, he fought many battles, spent countless efforts, and finally took down the entire Zhuozhou, and also completely defeated tens of thousands of Liao troops. Although people are tired to the extreme, but the results are also quite rich, at least the final success is in sight, it seems that as long as you stretch out your hand, you can land, just waiting for the last blow.
This sleep, he slept until three o'clock in the morning, and the person also regained his strength and spirit. At the same time, the surrounding soldiers were all ready to wait, waiting for Sun Tu's order.
The situation was urgent, the war situation was like fire, Sun Tu knew that he could not delay any longer, so he immediately selected 5,000 elites from the 100,000 troops, disguised himself as the Liao people to defeat the army, and went straight to Youzhou as fast as possible.
And in order to win Youzhou in one battle, this time he not only brought the strongest subordinates under his command - Wu Song, Luda, Lin Chong, Yue Fei, Dong Ping...... It can be called the most luxurious lineup in the Shandong army - and at the same time, all the horses are requisitioned together, so that this team can travel faster, and can achieve one person and two horses, or even three horses.
This is really the first time in the Great Song Army. You must know that the Great Song Dynasty army has a serious shortage of horses, even if it is a forbidden army or a border army, often 100,000 people can't get together 10,000 cavalry, and most of the cavalry is only a single horse, which greatly limits the mobility of the army.
But today, this Shandong army of 100,000 people has done what no Song army can do in the past, and the reason is not that they prepared so many horses from the north and south of the Yangtze River, but because the previous great victory allowed them to capture a large number of horses from the Liao army.
In the battle the night before, in order to capture Zhuozhou as soon as possible, the Liao army almost gave up the horses to enter the city, after all, the street fighting could not be used cavalry tactics. As a result, these horses were left outside the city, and as a result, under the defeat, these horses and baggage logistics all fell into the hands of the Shandong army, and Sun Tu was cheapened in vain.
Coupled with the Liao armor that the soldiers put on and carried the banner of the Liao people, from a rough point of view, this cavalry team that quickly went north was really an authentic Liao army rout.
Just entered May, Zhuozhou changed greatly, the Liao army and the Changsheng army were defeated here, the main general was captured, the Shandong army sprung up, completely captured the key city of the north, and they did not stop there, next, the soldier pointed to is the ultimate goal of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty - Youzhou City!
