Chapter 313 takes over Ji County

Since defeating the 140,000 Wagang army outside Liyang Cang, Su Shang and his confidants and generals decided to take over the entire Ji County.

In the past half a month, Su Shang personally sat in Liyang City to reorganize the new army, and at the same time arranged for Su Dingfang, Wei Chigong, Liu Lancheng and other three people to lead 10,000 troops each, attack in three ways, and take over all the county towns under the jurisdiction of Ji County.

There were many rebel groups in Jijun but not strong, and Su Shang adopted the method of destroying the strongest and shocking the weak, and ordered Su Dingfang and the three of them to attack the three strongest rebel teams in the territory at the same time, but they were unwilling to join the Allied Army.

Within two days, all three rebel teams had been wiped out, and none of their main generals had escaped from the killing, defeat, or capture.

However, whether they were killed on the spot or defeated and captured, they could not escape a fate, and their heads were reported to the entire county.

At the same time, an order issued by Su Shang also spread throughout the county, ordering all the rebel leaders in the county to lead their troops to Liyang City within ten days to accept the reorganization of the allied army.

For a time, the leaders of the rebel armies in Ji County were panicked, some secretly led the army to leave the garrison and stay away from Ji County, some immediately led the army to Liyang City to surrender, and some temporarily stood still and waited for the changes, and some even plundered the people and planned to make a big profit, and then transferred their positions and led the army to other counties!

Unfortunately, the Confederate scouts had long been blended into the rebel ranks, and their every move was under the watchful eye of the scouts.

Moreover, for the fourth situation, Su Shang had a plan, and sent four cavalry teams of 5,000 people to patrol the territory of Ji County in the morning, and once they found that there were rebel teams looting the people, these cavalry soldiers would rush to the scene of the incident in a short time and kill all the rebel soldiers.

Under the tough suppression of the Allied army, the remaining rebel leaders, large and small, led their troops to Liyang City to surrender, and Su Shang also re-sent the Allied soldiers to take over the county seats.

In this way, Su Shang took full control of Ji County in less than half a month, and took over more than 60,000 rebel soldiers. After some reorganization, 25,000 young and strong elites were selected to be incorporated into the Allied Army, while the remaining 30,000 people were reorganized into reserve regiments, which will be arranged to participate in assisting in the defense of the city and Tuntian.

At this point, the strength of the allied army in Ji County has increased greatly, with a total strength of more than 180,000 troops, except for the initial 60,000 soldiers brought from Donglai County, the remaining 120,000 soldiers are composed of captured Wagang soldiers and rebel soldiers who surrender to Cheng, of which a total of 65,000 young and strong elites have been integrated into the Allied Army.

When Cheng Yanjin arrived in Liyang City, Su Shang had also received news of the civil strife in Wagangzhai, and he was discussing with Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others how to deal with it.

Su Shang asked Cheng Yanjin to take him directly to the main account of the Chinese army, and said with a smile: "Brother Cheng came just in time, we just happened to be discussing the matter of Wagangzhai." Brother Cheng is a first-hand witness, please tell us the details of Wagangzhai at this time. ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Yanjin stood solemnly and saluted Su Shang, "Since the fiasco of Liyangcang, Zhai Rang and Li Mi have been at odds with each other, and the private struggle is very fierce..."

"The night before yesterday, Zhai Rang held a banquet in Zhai's mansion in the name of celebrating his birthday, he planned to take this opportunity to get rid of Li Mi, but the incident was not secret, he was betrayed by Shan Xiongxin, Li Mi excused himself to be sick and did not come, Zhai Rang went to visit Li Mi's mansion under the persuasion of Shan Xiongxin, but Li Mi ambushed the soldiers and took the opportunity to kill Zhai Rang."

At the same time, Li Mi arranged for his henchman Bing Yuanzhen to lead 10,000 soldiers to surround Zhai Mansion and directly wipe out all the Zhai Mansion. Immediately afterwards, Li Mi arranged for Wang Bodang to lead the army to block the main road down the mountain, and he himself personally led more than 20,000 elite soldiers to Zhai Rang's camp, intending to take over Zhai Rang's 100,000 soldiers. ”

"However, Li Mi's every move has long been under our surveillance, and after the last general got the news of Zhai Rang's killing, he immediately arranged for secret agents to spread it in Zhai Rang's military camp. Li Mi didn't notice it for a while, and as soon as he entered Zhai Rang's camp, he was attacked by 100,000 soldiers led by Zhai Rang's henchman Huang Junhan! ”

"It's a pity that Zhai Rang is dead, and the army's heart is broken. After a bloody battle, 100,000 soldiers were finally defeated by Li Mi, and Huang Junhan led 50,000 remnants of the army to withdraw to Weicheng County. Weicheng City is garrisoned by Niu Xiu, another of Zhai Rang's henchmen, and he has 15,000 soldiers under his command..."

"After some persuasion by the last general, Huang Junhan and Niu Xiu and other generals agreed to lead the army to join the allied army, but there is not much grain and grass in Weicheng City, and it is estimated that it can only support about ten days......

Cheng Biting Jin's urn sounded from time to time in the tent, and after more than half an hour, he told the story of Wagangzhai in detail.

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Li Mi is very ambitious, the reason why he joined Wagangzhai in the first place was to go to the 400,000 army of Wagangzhai!" The reason why he repeatedly tolerated Zhai Rang before was that he wanted to take over the 400,000 Wagang soldiers completely, and he didn't want the strength of the Wagang Army to suffer too much loss. However, General Cheng's operation can be described as a classic, completely overturning his wishful thinking. ”

Su Shang nodded and said with a smile: "I was originally worried that after Zhai Rang's death, Wagangzhai would be completely integrated by Li Mi, and its strength would be stronger, but now I can rest assured for the time being!"

After speaking, Su Shang smiled at Cheng Yanjin again: "Brother Cheng is double happy this time, not only has he made a great contribution, but Brother Cheng has also added a little lady to his family!"

Cheng Yanjin was stunned, "But my mother gave birth?" ”

"Not bad! I received a message from Yixing yesterday that my sister-in-law gave birth to a little mother five days ago, and the mother and daughter are safe! ”

"I have a daughter! I have a daughter! Cheng Yanjin was overjoyed when he heard this, and smirked again and again.

All the people in the tent bowed their hands to him.

After a while, when Cheng Biting Jin's excited mood calmed down a little, Su Shang got down to business again, "Weicheng County is too small to support 60,000 troops, and in the long run, Weicheng County can only garrison 20,000 soldiers at most. However, Li Mi's strength is still too strong, and Wagangzhai is too close, I am worried that once we withdraw most of our troops, Li Mi will lead the army to attack Weicheng County, what can you do? ”。

Wei Zheng thought for a while and said: "We can weaken Li Mi's strength again, Li Mi has just taken over the Wagang Army at this time, and the army's morale is still unstable, we can send troops to attack them at this time, and we can receive miraculous results!"

Su Shang shook his head and said: "As the base camp of the Wagang army, Wagang Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, its defensive strength is comparable to a county town, and Li Mi has more than 100,000 troops on the mountain, even if the army is unstable, it is very easy for him to defend a Wagang Mountain!"
