Chapter 92: Fangling County (II)
Leaning slightly, the city gate of Fangling County slowly opened, but there was still a fight at the city gate.
"General Wen, it's up to you next."
Looking at the open city gate, Zhuge Liang instructed Wen Shuo beside him.
Zhuge Liang is now a military advisor, and when he marches and fights, he naturally has the final say.
This is not a seizure of power, but a right granted to him by the lord Liu Bei.
has the same rights, and Pang Tong, but that guy still has to be subservient to his Zhuge Liang.
Because, Zhuge Liang is the left army division, and Pang Tong is only the right army division.
Since ancient times, it has been respected by the left.
Wen Shuo had a happy look on his face, and he replied: "Oh! ”
Wen Shuo is the personal soldier of the Zhuyang guard general Wen Ping, and he is also the nephew of Wen Ping's family.
Uncle Liu Huang, the leader of Zhuge Liang's gang, borrowed 5,000 elite soldiers from Wen Ping, and these 5,000 elite soldiers were all led by Wen Shuo. It's not that Wen Ping is not at ease with Zhuge Liang, nor is he worried that these 5,000 elite soldiers have become cannon fodder, but that Wen Ping is retreating in advance.
This point, Wen Ping does not say, Zhuge Liang also knows it; In private, Zhuge Liang also told his lord Liu Bei.
Wen Shuo waved his spear and was ready to lead the army to the city gate, but Zhuge Liang was still not at ease and advised: "The general must remember that after entering the city, you must not burn and loot, and try to kill as little as possible against the enemy!" ”
The army of this era, especially the army under the command of the princes, is not uncommon to urinate after the city is broken.
I think that at the beginning, after Cao Cao broke Xuzhou, he also slaughtered the city.
Just prepare to have such urine, Zhuge Liang doesn't know.
However, this Fangling County will be his own territory in the future, and Zhuge Liang will naturally not allow burning, killing and looting.
As for killing as little as possible against the enemy, well, doesn't God have the virtue of a good life?
Of course, the most important thing is that he Zhuge Liang is a monk, but he is remembered by God. He is now out of the mountain, and he is already connected with his lord Uncle Liu Huang. If the soldiers under his command kill too much, they will more or less settle an account on his head.
If it is hundreds of thousands of killings at every turn, even if he is favored by Zhuge Liang, I am afraid that he will be immediately punished by heaven and die!
For Zhuge Liang's advice, although Wen Shuo was incomprehensible, he still received the order.
So, with a wave of his spear, Wen Ping led 5,000 elite infantry to kill the gate of Fangling County.
At the gate of the city, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already killed a river of blood.
In the same place, only the lord Uncle Liu Huang remained, as well as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others, as well as nearly six hundred elite horsemen.
Since ancient times, when the city is broken and enters the city, whether it is broken or surrendered, the main general will basically not be the first to enter the city. Only when the soldiers under his command enter the city to control the situation and seize all the key points, will the main general enter the city under the escort of elite soldiers.
In later films and television, the Lord will be the first to enter the city at every turn, which is nonsense.
Do you really think that all the hostile elements in the city have been wiped out?
Three or five cold arrows can make people unguardable.
……
Half an hour later, the fighting in the city subsided, and only a few green smoke curled.
This is just now when the enemy army saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to set fire to the warehouses and houses, one to add to the chaos, and the other was to warn Shangyong City.
Fortunately, the fire was extinguished as soon as it started, and now only a little green smoke remains, like cooking smoke.
This kind of green smoke must be imperceptible to Shangyong City, which is hundreds of miles away.
Seeing that Fangling County was about to be calmed down, Zhuge Liang came to Liu Bei's side and whispered: "Lord, in the evening, we should pull out the camp, the whole army will march day and night, and at dawn the day after tomorrow, we will almost be able to reach Shangyong City." ”
"At that time, take the opportunity to sneak attack, and you can take Shangyong City in one go."
"But in this Fangling County, the lord must appoint a county commander and send troops to garrison it."
"This is related to our future grain route."
Liu Bei has no land, so he has no source of grain and grass. Even if the entire Hanzhong is captured, there are still more than two months left for the autumn harvest. There is a huge shortage of grain and grass, and almost all of them need to buy or borrow grain from Jingzhou. If so, Zhuyang Pass, Fangling County, this is the grain road.
And the grain road cannot be lost.
Liu Bei also understood this, so he asked, "How is Mi Zizhong?" ”
Zhuge Liang smiled and refused: "My lord, the minister is more interested in Jian Yong and Jian Xianhe." ”
"Sun Qian and Mi Zhu both have important responsibilities in the future, and it is not appropriate to appoint envoys at present."
"After we capture Shangyong City, the lord needs to send Sun Gan to Jingzhou to form an alliance with Liu Jingzhou, and implore Liu Jingzhou to allow us to recruit displaced people in Jingzhou and buy grain and grass."
"The Mi family is one of the four wealthy businessmen in the world, and when the lord sits firmly on the throne, or after he takes Hanzhong, he needs Mi Zhu to be in charge of the economy, such as salt and iron, wine, grain, etc., these official commodities need Mi Zhu to preside."
"This is the source of the lord's financial resources in the future."
"As for the guards, there is no need to appoint them for the time being, just leave five hundred infantry troops for Jian Yong and sort out the city."
Zhuge Liang's suggestions were tightly organized, and Liu Bei couldn't help but bow his head when he heard it.
It was also after listening to Zhuge Liang's suggestion that Liu Bei realized that he had taken it for granted that he had appointed talents before, and no one had made the best use of them.
For example, Mi Zhu took refuge in him Liu Bei in Xuzhou, but he only appointed Mi Zhu as a civil official such as the chief secretary and joining the army, and he never thought about handing over official commodities such as salt and iron to Mi Zhu to take care of.
It must be known that the Mi family has been in business for generations, and it is one of the few wealthy businessmen in the world, so if Mi Zhu is in charge of the economy, will he Liu Bei still lack military funds?
Sure enough, the difference between a strategist and a strategist is so obvious!
Regarding Zhuge Liang's suggestion, Liu Bei bowed: "After entering the city later, how to arrange it, the military division will deal with it." ”
As soon as the discussion was finished, a horse came from the city quickly, and when he came to the front, the knight turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said: "Uncle Liuhuang, military advisor, the city has been pacified, and the general invites the lord and all the military advisors to enter the city." ”
The knight is a general under Wen Shuo, although he works for Uncle Liu Huang, he is not called the lord.
Zhuge Liang bowed his head, and then bowed his hand to Liu Bei: "Lord, Fangling County has been leveled, let's enter the city, right?" ”
Although Liu Bei's expression was serious, his eyes were full of joy.
After taking Fangling County, this has a place to stay, and finally you can no longer drift.
Moreover, the enterprising Hanzhong, now the flag is victorious, which can be regarded as a good start.
"Then let's go into the city!" Liu Bei waved his hand.
Then, he assigned to several of his own soldiers: "Send an order to Mi Zhu and Sun Qian, and let them protect their wife's carriage and enter the city." ”
The frames of the lady's cart, as well as the grain, grass, and baggage, were all in the grove behind.
Well, there are also the families of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Mi Zhu and others.
Since Fangling County has been taken, everyone's families, grain, grass, baggage, etc., have to enter the city and settle down.
In any case, with the city to settle down and the family and the weight of grain and grass, Liu Bei's heart will also be a lot more stable.
