Chapter 263 Night Visit
Zhao Shi instructed Wu Side to face to stay in Yishui City, so that he could appease the people and treat the surrendered army well, because Zhao Shi would immediately lead the troops south to Ju County, and Wu Side could control less than 500 sergeants in his hands, so he should be more friendly with Shi Zebo, and there should be no gaps. Fortunately, Shi Zebo has promised that during this period, he will be temporarily stationed in the city to share the pressure on Wu Side.
Worried that Wu Side was reckless, Zhao Shi also specially told him that the property of the county treasury needs to be checked by both parties, and then Shi Zebo will take it himself, as a reward, and must not be hindered. Wu Side responded one by one. He mentioned how to deal with the people of the cottage captured today, Zhao Shi thought about it for a while, ordered all of them to be released, and comforted people, and then took some of the seized gold and silver to send Shi Zebo to apologize. Wu Side opened his eyes and didn't dare to believe it, he wanted to distinguish one from the other, and Zhao Shi reprimanded him.
Without further ado, Zhao Shi finished his order, and immediately ordered a group of men and horses to go out of the city, only two hours from entering the city to leaving the city, and the soldiers and horses accompanying the Jing'an army were only in a hurry to eat and drink, and then continued on the road. Before leaving, Zhao Shi sent a letter to Yu Zhilong, explaining the reason in detail, and said carefully: If Linqu turns the danger into safety, please send a team of soldiers and horses to the south to support, one is to stabilize Yishui City, after all, Wu Side is good at fighting and not good at governance, and someone needs to share it, and Zhao Shi went to Ju County, although he has a meritorious grasp, but there is no way to win, in case it fails, there needs to be a stable Yishui City as a foundation.
Cursively, Zhao Shi sealed the fire paint, and ordered the messenger to send it to Linqu quickly, and he must hand it over to Zhilong in person.
"Why don't you let the last general go in person? The last general dared to make a military order, and if he couldn't take Ju County, he would take it from the head of the head! "Wu Side is puzzled, does the pioneer need Zhao Shi to go in person?
Zhao Shi asked people to take some food and sit on the steps of the hall to swallow it simply, so that Wu Side sat on the side, added a piece of chopsticks to him, and explained: "Our army has won this city like a trapped dragon into the sea, and there should be a glimmer of life in the future, and then Ju County is the icing on the cake, and the next step is to go further, so that the future can be worry-free!" However, Ju County is the seat of Yizhou governance, and if you take it, it will shake Yidu Road, and even Shandong has a feeling, so it is easy to get, and it is difficult to keep and govern! Ru Suyong, anxious, I am worried that things are urgent and complicated, this is not your strength, even if you get it for a while, it is difficult to stabilize the local situation. General Fei is far away in Linqu, if I am in Yishui, and the soldiers and horses in the headquarters are thin, the power that can be supported is thin, if there is an incident in Ju County, the soldiers and horses under the rule of the Yuan Court are all around, what can you do? ”
Wu Side lowered his head and thought about it, he had no plan in the end, he knew that he was good at fighting and not good at intelligence, so he obeyed the order to stay. "But look at how many generations of that stone are not good, if he has different intentions, what if he has different intentions?"
Zhao Shi was slightly angry, reprimanded: "This place is only a hundred miles away from Linqu, if General Fei gets the letter, there will be a heavy general to respond, the time is only five or six days, you take care of it, Mo because of the contention, I see that there are many natives in this city, and the magnates are far less than Linqu, as long as they are appeased as usual, do not move the local big households, treat the generals well, and ensure that they are safe for a few days." ”
He was worried that Wu Side would be reckless, and then explained that Wu Side should deal with it carefully, even if he was a little wronged, everything was just waiting for Linqu information.
After the confession, Zhao Shi led the army to set off, and Shi Zebo received the news and rode to the city gate to say goodbye to him.
Oral claim: Although there are some dock forts outside the city, there are local rebels or villagers to guard, but no one comes forward to organize, Yishui City has Shi Zebo and Wu Side stationed together to be temporarily worry-free. General Zhao Shi can go with confidence, and Shi Zebo is here to wish Ma Zhi success.
After that, Wu Side came out of the list of An Min, and restrained his subordinates with Shi Zebo, temporarily imposing the rich and small families in the city, but just confiscated a few Monse magnates.
The towns and villages outside the city did not move, but only sent a cavalry army to patrol around every day, and did not enter the towns and villages to garrison, but only posted notices along the way, announcing the Jing'an army's proposition to expel the Tartars.
Hundreds of generals were imprisoned in batches in various places in the city, two meals a day, Wu Side summoned all the generals to reprimand, so that they should not be alarmed or disturbed, as long as they returned to the Jing'an army with peace of mind, they would not kill a single person, and after General Linqufei came, they would definitely make good arrangements.
Afraid that everyone would not believe it, Yan Shun, a thousand households of the Yuan Army, was brought over by Wu Side and spoke by example. This Yan Shun knew that he couldn't turn back, so he simply showed his tongue that was not rotten, and praised the Jing'an army in the sky and not on the ground, with the demeanor of a king's army.
Yan Shun is a local, well-connected, familiar with people, and he came forward to appease him, and the effect was far better than Wu Side's black face. Most of the people who surrendered were afraid that the Jing'an army would kill people and raid their homes, and their families and relatives would be killed.
For the next two days, Wu Side inspected the city day and night, and except for the night curfew at the city gate, the order in the city remained almost unchanged, and the people's panic gradually relaxed.
Wu Side didn't want to see Shi Zebo's face, so he just arranged to send someone to report what he saw that day, and the rest of the time he was anxious for Linqu to come to help. Counting the days, two more days have passed, if everything goes well, presumably Yu Zhilong has already returned to Linqu, or he may be able to get Zhao Shi's letter.
Knowing that Yishui was taken lightly, all the generals of the Jing'an Army were smiling, and the persistence of several days of bloody fighting in Linqu finally yielded fruitful results.
Yu Zhilong finally made up his mind that the situation on Linqu's side had stabilized, and the Yuan army in Yidu City had not had any major reinforcements, so there should be no major changes in the past few days, so Ji Xiancheng, Mingxiong, Wan Jinhai, Xia Houen and others were left to continue to garrison, and Xie Lin went to Yishui with him in order to stabilize the situation there as soon as possible.
Considering the necessary defense forces of Linqu left, this time it was Qian Zheng and Mu Chunbu who were together, and Yu Zhilong only transferred thousands of sergeants, a small half of which were Wang De's surrenders.
These surrendered troops were originally just rumors of Linqu Fei nationality, division of land and other policies, after arriving in Linqu after hearing and witnessing many deeply touched, goodbye Jing'an Army meteorological new is not like the Yuan Dynasty Han Army lonely and corrupt, most of them have firmly surrendered, although the combat power is not as good as the Jing'an Army, but the sense of identity has greatly increased, there is no need to worry too much about their backlash.
During this period, Fang Xue assigned several eloquent soldiers, including the surrendered Yuan Army and the Volunteer Army, to preach to them several times about the various measures of the Jing'an Army, listing the personnel changes around them, and the surrendered generals were even more sympathetic. The effect was better than Yu Zhilong expected, so much so that Yu Zhilong couldn't help but consider whether it was time to form a propaganda team.
Linqu has decided a major event here, now that Yishui has been obtained, it is unimpeded to go south, Zhao Shi made persistent efforts to kill Ju County, if he can succeed, the Jing'an army should be worry-free. Yu Zhilong ran around for several months, thinking hard for survival, and almost couldn't sleep all night, only then did he feel that the sky was high and the clouds were light, and he could give birth to wings under his ribs and soar into the clouds. It is urgent to rush to the aid of Yishui, but Yu Zhilong still has a few things that need to be handled as soon as possible before he can rest assured that he will go south again.
It was another effort to find people and assign tasks. At night, Yu Zhilong then walked out of the county office under the guidance of Ming Xiong and Ming Shijie, turned the street and crossed the alley, and quietly came to the courtyard of an alley. There are guards at the entrance to prevent unrelated people from entering and leaving.
The hall was lit up like a bean, and the hazy lamp, which had been almost stationary, was driven by the wind of the open door, jumping, like a frightened hare, and the figure quickly disappeared into the bushes.
Mingxiong entered the room and saw a person sitting at the red lacquered mahogany table under the main hall with low eyebrows. This person's waist is straight and his appearance is dignified, but he can't hide a trace of loneliness between his eyebrows and eyes. In the corner of the room stood two sturdy men, although they were dressed as servants, but their vigilant eyes, sturdy posture and close-fitting short blades revealed their military identity.
"Brother Dao, it's polite! The old man visited at night, and the nagging looked at Haihan! ”
Jia Daozhen raised his eyebrows slightly, saw Mingxiong striding in, ignored it, a pair of silkworm eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and his eyelids were about to close slowly.
As a prisoner of war, he was imprisoned for several days, although Mingxiong cared about the old friendship and never shackled him. After Yu Zhilong returned, he asked about the situation and transferred Jia Daozhen to be detained here.
Jia Daozhen guessed that no matter what happened in Linqu, his life would not be guaranteed. The day before yesterday, I knew that Yu Zhilong had killed a horse pistol, and he was also defeated first, and he escaped to the capital at night, and Jia Daozhen was already mentally prepared to kill. I hate that I haven't achieved fame yet, and I am usually obsessed with drilling camps, and I finally rose to a thousand households, and I see that if I make another war exploit this time, it is very likely that I will go further, and I don't want to be defeated and bound.
It's really a trick!
"If the time for a certain person to go on the road has arrived, Brother Ming doesn't have to bother!" Jia Daozhen spoke slowly.
Mingxiong once persuaded Jia Daozhen to switch camps, but Jia Daozhen sneered.
"Why does Jia Qianhu need to joke? Yu has never had such an idea. This time, I just came to drink with you. A bright voice came from outside the door. Yu Zhilong was slightly happy and raised his legs into the house.
Mingxiong is a square person, he doesn't like to make friends with interests, although he has a clear reputation, but he damages his personal career. Although this Jia Daozhen is close to Mingxiong in talent, his temperament is sleek, and he is willing to bend his knees to accept the powerful in order to achieve his goal, so it is difficult to let go of Mingxiong's upright thinking.
What kind of lock with what kind of key, Yu Zhilong is still very interested in this Jia Qianhu. Although this person is greedy for power, he also has real talents, and if he can use it for himself, he may be of great use in the future.
Jia Daozhen can't be regarded as a villain, but he is by no means a humble gentleman, since he is so powerful and rich, although Yu Zhilong can't give it now, it doesn't mean that he won't have a chance in the future. Yidu City is tall and sturdy, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if you take it rashly, you will only hit your head and bleed.
Although Yu Zhilong is not a master of the art of war, he still knows something. Strong fortresses are often breached from the inside first.
"The moon is clear tonight, why don't Jia Qianhu enjoy the moon and talk about the current situation in the world?" Yu Zhilong was unaware of Jia Daozhen's surprised gaze, waved his hand to summon Ming Shijie to come in with several layers of heavy bamboo drawers, took out the wine and food from the drawers one by one, and listed them on the red lacquered mahogany table.
"The world changes, and victory and defeat are like chess. Today, you and I are enemies of life and death, who knows that he will not work together and enjoy the mountains and rivers together? Yu Zhilong took a few steps forward and came to the table to sit upright.
Good tone! Just this stinky kid?
When Jia Daozhen heard this, he was secretly surprised, and couldn't help but open his eyes slightly, facing Yu Zhilong. He had long heard about Jing'an Jun and Yu Zhilong. I also had a confrontation on the battlefield that day, and when I think of the defeat of the day, I often reflect on my own mistakes. This young man in blood-stained armor rode on an angry horse in his mind and completely trampled on it, shattering his own thoughts.
The young man who held the sword on the prancing horse that day is now so vivid and distinct in the light of the candle flame in the dim jumping.
Several people talked for a long time in the night, Jia Daozhen listened to Yu Zhilong's eloquent talk, and gradually felt frightened, this person's eyes and ambitions are far beyond ordinary people. The general is also the enemy of this person, and I really don't know if it will be a curse or a blessing in the future. Where will I go from here?
Under the tall and wide house, whether it is the sturdy Ming Xiong, the long Ming Shijie, or the two fierce guards standing in the corner of the house, they are gradually becoming nothing in Jia Daozhen's eyes at this time.
