Chapter 328: The Decisive Battle
Hao Jingcheng naturally understood that Li Lei's purpose of walking the news like this was nothing more than to make everyone on the rivers and lakes regard him as an enemy.
However, Hao Jingcheng didn't take it to heart.
In fact, at this time when he was about to deal with Li Lei and others wholeheartedly, both he and Li Lei actually underestimated the waves that this incident would cause in the end.
Now, all this is still quietly brewing in the shadows, spreading with the end of the war to slaughter the cottages.
In the days after the battle with the rebels, Hao Jingcheng's life was basically spent on the road and eating. On the way to the road, I sorted out all kinds of information, ate mostly for entertainment, and negotiated with the magistrate of a county, prefecture, or other officials in charge of reserves and material allocation.
Of course, although it is mostly logistics that determines the outcome of a war, Hao Jingcheng's entertainment is not for this.
In the whole process of dealing with the rebels, the clever plan to strip and decompose more than 50,000 people that can be removed is already an immeasurable achievement in the eyes of others, but for Hao Jingcheng, the matter is only half done.
From the very beginning, he did not think that his strategy could solve all problems at once, and in the end, he must fight, but he knew that he was not familiar with fighting.
Although Zhang Rui and Commander Zhang of the local officials and army are now willing to ask him about the final plan, but regarding the command, Hao Jingcheng is completely liberalized, the officers and soldiers are returned to the officers and soldiers, and the Langya Ridge is returned to the Langya Ridge, he just looks at everything with a learning mentality, and occasionally asks questions about the aspects that he does not understand, but he never questions the other party's decision.
After all, he is resourceful, but he is not good at this arrangement, and he specializes in art, Hao Jingcheng does not plan to learn these, people, sometimes you must learn to let go appropriately, Zhuge Liang was smart during the Three Kingdoms period, but he died young.
In the case of the rebels' previous achievements, if he has doubts, the other party will not listen, if he wavers, I am afraid that it is the most troublesome thing, if you want to do things, you must not be commanded by a layman.
In the first battle of the rebels, the relevant war achievements, military exploits, and gold and silver income can now be determined, Hao Jingcheng can be regarded as being kind to others, and the whole matter has been made into a major event in public opinion that several surrounding states and counties and the local officials and troops led by Zhang Rui jointly encircled and suppressed.
During this period, on the one hand, he had to coordinate all parties, distribute interests, and report the whole matter to Li Gang, and on the other hand, he needed to urge officials in several prefectures and counties not to be half-hearted.
In the past few days, Hao Jingcheng has traveled back and forth from place to place, meeting with people one by one, in addition to distributing benefits and asking people to do the next assistance.
And after a few days of running and having dinners, only when he returned to meet with more than 2,000 people in Langya Ridge would Hao Jingcheng tell Li Tianying, Li Biao and others about the whole situation. In his mouth, this is a consultation between high-level leaders, and only by knowing the direction of strategy can the person leading the troops better decide on tactics.
After the battle of Langya Ridge, Li Tianying and others did not participate in the first battle of the rebels. But after appeasing the villagers and treating the wounded, they still gathered more than 3,000 people and chased them here according to Hao Jingcheng's instructions.
Among the more than 3,000 people, the Zhuang household, who is the most capable of fighting and has a blood feud with the rebels, is about 2,000 as the main force, and the Nine Girls also brought the Hulang family Zhuang people here.
As for the other 1,000 people, they were not the logistics personnel prepared for the expedition, but according to Hao Jingcheng's arrangement, many personnel who performed trivial tasks led by doctors, account offices, and stewards were specially prepared to clean up the mess left by Li Lei.
At noon that day, Hao Jingcheng had already gone to talk to the commanders of the local officers and soldiers, and finally came to Langyaling, and the people followed Li Lei's large army all the way up, and explained to Li Tianying and others.
"I don't dare to hold it up, I won't fight a war, but after the rebel war, Li Lei and they can choose a total of two directions, to put it bluntly, it's actually simple, either drag or surrender, as for the third way, leave my Great Song Dynasty and join the Jin Kingdom, they shouldn't be."
As the sun set, everyone set up a camp on the mountain, Hao Jingcheng put many delicacies on the grass, and a wild boar was roasting on the bonfire, but it was the harvest of Li Biao and others on the road.
Li Tianying and the others gathered in this area, and if a young man came to take a look, Hao Jingcheng would also say hello to them and ask them to take a box of food and cut a piece of pork.
"It's very simple to drag, in the east of Henan and Shandong, the power of the government is not strong, and many things are outdated. The surrounding barren mountains and mountains are everywhere, although they have lost Qinglong Mountain, it is impossible for the local official army led by Zhang Rui to send more than 20,000 people to accompany them everywhere. ”
After a pause, Hao Jingcheng continued: "The interests of the rebels have been obtained, everyone has to share them, and after they are distributed, no one is willing to take them out. As long as they drag the local army out of ideas, find a hill and set up a stockade again, it will not take a few years for them to make a comeback. ”
"Of course, it's not easy to drag alone, so they take the village and burn people's houses while running. There are not many killings, it is to leave complaints, you are a county magistrate, and you may be able to get some credit in this matter, but after the following places are all burned down, people are not dead, maybe in this year's performance appraisal, the credit will not be made up. This is one of the more troublesome things. ”
Hao Jingcheng paused: "So they are burning and looting in various places for a while, and then they may run in the direction of Jining, Jining side sees that there is a problem on our side, and the parents and officials over there may be in line with the idea that more things are better than less things, and they will be in charge of recruiting them." And recruiting them, the size is also a credit, eliminating the bad evaluation in the performance appraisal, and it is one more credit than our side. It's likely that they'll do it, it's a way to fall, and once it does, it's going to be very difficult for us to kill them. ”。
Li Tianying nodded, for the second situation that Hao Jingcheng said, he didn't want to see, now Langya Ridge is equivalent to becoming a mortal enemy with the rebels, if the rebels come back to life, it will definitely be a huge thief for them Li Jiazhuang.
Thinking of this, Li Tianying couldn't help but whisper: "So, the decisive battle should be on our side?" Let's completely wipe out Li Lei's rebels in this place! ”
