Chapter 517: Layout
Zhao Hua thought about it, and then said: "General Ji Sui, you immediately lead the soldiers of your headquarters to the north, and after arriving at the north gate, immediately control the city wall, and block the city gate, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving. β
After the destruction of the Wu Kingdom, the Wu King's Office was displaced, and many clans changed their surnames in order to escape the blow of the Yue Kingdom.
And most of the troops led by Ji Sui were also the private soldiers of various families north of Wucheng.
When Ji Sui heard the order, he immediately responded: "It's the general." β
After speaking, Ji Sui took his soldiers and headed towards the north gate.
Then, Zhao Hua said to Zhang Tong and Li Xian, among the remaining four: "General Zhang, you lead the headquarters to the West Gate, General Li, you go to the East Gate." β
Zhang Tong and Li Xian are also nobles left over from the former Wu State, and now they are serving as county lieutenants in the surrounding cities, and the soldiers in their hands are mainly Vietnamese soldiers.
When they heard the order, they answered, "Yes, General." β
After the two left, Zhao Hua smiled at the remaining Wu Bing: "General Wu, please lead the soldiers of your department to the east of Wucheng, inspect the major streets in the east, and immediately drive away the people and nobles in the city, so that they can return to their homes immediately and not go out." An hour later, if someone was still wandering the streets, you would have asked. β
Wu Bing is also the prince of Wu in the past, but unlike Ji Sui's family, Wu Bing's family directly uses the country name as the surname. Although Wu Bing and Ji Sui's families have changed their surnames differently, what is the same is that their families have all changed from the former princes of Wu to ordinary big families in Yue.
Like Ji Sui, most of the soldiers in Wu Bing's hands were also composed of private soldiers of various families, mixed with a small number of local soldiers.
At this time, Wu Bing heard Zhao Slip's order and immediately responded: "It's the general." β
Wu Bing left, and Chen Huai was the only one left here.
Chen Huai, like Zhang Tong, was also born in a noble family and is serving as a county lieutenant at the moment. And the soldiers in his hands are mostly composed of rangers and outlaws.
At this time, Zhao smiled and said: "General Chen, for the rest of the Xicheng, then General Lao will go to inspect it." Like General Wu, drive the people home, and not let the people wander the streets. β
When Chen Huai heard this, he immediately responded: "General, please rest assured. β
After speaking, Chen Huai took the soldiers to Xicheng.
Zhao Slip looked at Chen Huai's departing back, and a sneer appeared in his heart.
What kind of virtue are those soldiers in Chen Huai's hands, although Zhao Slip has only been in contact for a day, he is also very clear.
Not only is he unruly and does not obey commands, but his military discipline is very corrupt.
What's more, Xicheng is different from Dongcheng, Dongcheng is where the nobles of the Yue Kingdom live, and most of the nobles' mansions have high walls, and there are slaves and servants to defend them.
And where Xicheng is located, most of them are just the residences of ordinary people. These rangers, who were originally oppressing the people in various places, walked in the streets and alleys after entering Wucheng, uncontrolled, and did not hesitate to see what happened.
What these people do next will undoubtedly ruin the support of ordinary people for Gongziyu.
Thinking about it, Zhao Slip looked in the direction of the royal city.
secretly said in his heart: Gongziyu buried the pillars of the Yue Kingdom with his own hands, and these people recruited by Gongziyu will dig up the cornerstone of the Yue Kingdom, Wu Cheng lost these two things, how can he hold on. The Yue State lost Wucheng, and under the powerful offensive of the Chu State, how could it not lose the country.
In particular, Zhao Slip saw that the army led by Chen Huai had not yet entered the west, and it was already three, three, five, five, five, and five, and they were going forward with each other's shouting and scolding, and he was even more relieved in his heart.
In this regard, Zhao Hua just smiled, and then instructed the doorman Wu Yan: "Go, follow me to the palace to return to Gongzi, presumably, at this time, Gongzi has been waiting in the palace for a long time." β
"No." Wu Yan responded.
Zhao Slip walked nearly three hundred steps in the direction of Miyagi with his personal guards, and faintly, he heard a loud roar and screams from the west, and the sound was not one or two places, but one after another, and it seemed to happen everywhere in Xicheng.
At this time, in some hidden streets of Xicheng, when there was a sound of fighting in the palace, the people in Wucheng realized that it was not good and returned to their homes for refuge. There weren't many people on the streets, only the bold and opportunistic people who were still walking the streets and alleys of the city to find out the news.
As a result, after Chen Huai led the arrival of the streets of Xicheng to inspect the streets, the city instantly became chaotic.
Zhao Slip didn't react at all to this.
At this time, Wu Xuan, who was on Zhao's side, caught a glimpse of a street where a soldier broke open the door of a common man's house and then broke in.
After pondering for a while, he opened his mouth and asked: "Your Excellency, most of the soldiers under General Li's command are rangers summoned by Gongzi from all over the country, and they are wild and untamable, and their military discipline is corrupt. Why let General Chen go to the city to inspect the city, instead of letting General Zhang's soldiers, or General Ji lead the nobles' private army to inspect? β
Zhao Hua naturally knew that the regular army of the Vietnamese army in Zhang Tong's hands, as well as the private soldiers in the hands of General Ji, although they were not well-trained and had strict military discipline, but patrolling the city was definitely better than those ruffians and hooligans forming an army.
It's just that Zhao Hua's inquiry about Wu Yan didn't mean to explain, and he smiled and didn't say anything.
Now, the identity has changedΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Soon after, Zhao Slip came to the gate of the palace in the midst of the screams and fights one after another, and saluted: "The tired general made a report, and the general Zhao Slip came to restore his life." β
Not long after, Zhao Slip was in a side hall and saw Gongzi Yu with a happy face.
Seeing this, Zhao Slip immediately smiled and saluted: "The minister greets the king." β
"No courtesy." Childe said happily.
"King Xie." After Zhao Li straightened his body, he arched his hand and said, "Great King, the minister has already let people control the four gates of Wucheng. Among them, General Ji led the Vietnamese army to defend the north, and also asked General Wei Xi to guard the south to ensure complete control of the gate. β
Saying that, Zhao Slip pleaded again: "The king, those rangers in the army, the ministers are worried that if they are allowed to guard the city gate, it will cause others to take the opportunity to buy and seize the city gate, so they have already let them go to Xicheng to control the streets. It's just that most of these rangers are forgetful of their righteousness, and they have many actions that disturb the people, and their subordinates are not strict and guilty. β
What kind of virtue those so-called rangers are, Gongzi Yu naturally knows it clearly. is idle all day long, and the people in the fish and meat town are the little heroes with a slight name. As for the Wuthering Heights and forests, roadblocks and robberies, tomb robberies and murders, and private minting of bad coins, this is a hero who moves one side.
What kind of situation will be for these people to disturb the people in the city, Gongziyu naturally knows.
After all, there are too few ink heroes who pursue both love and righteousness.
Even if there were, Gongziyu couldn't convince them to rebel with him.
Regarding the slight riot caused by the rangers, but in Xicheng, where ordinary people are located, Gongziyu didn't pay attention to it at all, smiled indifferently, and said: "What is the crime of the general, but the strength in the hands of the widow is insufficient, so he recruited those rangers who forgot their righteousness." The most important thing is to hold the gates, so that those who are loyal to the father and the prince will not lead an army to take the city of Wu. As for Wucheng, tomorrow, General Zhang Yi will surrender all the defenders in Wucheng, and then send troops to replace those rangers. β
Zhao Slip smiled when he heard this: "The king is wise." β
