Chapter 612: The Captive (Another Big Chapter)



?? After listening to Zhu Wu's obscene strategy, Wu Zhi smiled, no wonder the chin flour had to let the Qingzhou army scold in front of the pass first, because the croton flour does have the effect of making people have diarrhea, but it cannot be cooked, and after cooking, it will not only lose its medicinal effect, but also make the water rich in starch...... It's also very nutritious. щ.. lā

Only by designing to make the defenders in Jurong Pass dry and drink a lot of raw water with croton flour can they lose their combat effectiveness.

Fortunately, the Qingzhou army's scolding was ugly enough, and the weather was still hot, so that Zhu Wu's treacherous plan succeeded.

It seems that marching and fighting is not just a simple battle on the battlefield, but a discipline that includes climate, hydrology, geography, people's hearts, and customs...... Even the encyclopedic knowledge of swear words!

…………

Along with the good news, there was also a request from Wu Song to lead the Qingzhou Army to support the Western Army in fighting Suyang, Tong Guan was naturally pleased to approve it, and Wu Zhi had no objection.

As a result, the Qingzhou army, which had just broken through Jurong Pass, left half of them to guard Jurong, and the remaining half went to Suyang Pass under the leadership of Wu Song.

"My lord, the second master went to support Suyang this time, I'm afraid that something is wrong!"

After returning to the mansion, Qin Hui, who learned the news, hurriedly reminded Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi took the tea made by the maid, looked at Qin Hui, and laughed.

He knew what Qin Hui meant, and Qin Hui was worried that Wu Song would take people to help the Western Army fight Suyang and be suspected of merit. Indeed, in officialdom, when someone else is clearly able to accomplish something on their own, just halfway through it, is suddenly interfered by another person with a similar position, even if they come to help, it is a taboo in officialdom.

Whoever dares to do this, in addition to offending people, will also leave a treacherous and unkind official reputation. Even if you really have good intentions for the country and the people, it is not good, so many stunned young people who have just entered the officialdom are obviously enthusiastic and very active, but they always run into walls everywhere and are suppressed everywhere and cannot be reused.

This is one of the doorways, being an official is ostensibly for the people of the family and country, but in fact, the first thing to consider when entering the officialdom is not the people of the family and the country, but the hearts of the people!

It's a pity that many stunned young people who have just entered the officialdom don't understand this truth at all, so they are always depressed. If you finally get the hang of it after several years of hard work, your enthusiasm for serving the country has long been exhausted, and all that remains is the face of an official.

Of course, there are also many young talents who either never open their minds, stick to their original intentions, and live a life of integrity, justice, and fairness. There are also people who are late bloomers, and once they open their minds, they will definitely rise to prominence and seek well-being for the people of the world.

Qin Hui can penetrate the doorway so early, it is enough to see that he is born with a good understanding of people and worldliness, no wonder he was able to soar so young in his previous life. But in this life, Qin Hui is not only familiar with human feelings, but also has always maintained a mentality of doing practical things for the country and the people in the process of following Wu Zhi, which makes Wu Zhi very pleased.

"The battlefield is different from officialdom, the battlefield is about life, and it is about the love of robes. Wu Song led his troops to support as soon as possible, and he didn't know how many casualties of the Western Army could be reduced, and what credit could be compared to the lives of countless soldiers? Most of the Western Army are good men who grew up drinking the water of the Yellow River, and the old generals are even more reasonable people, and they will never misunderstand Wu Song! Wu Zhi explained to Qin Hui with a smile.

The battlefield is indeed different from officialdom, and I have only heard of people who have grudged because one team has been delaying support for another, and I have never heard of people who are resented for support.

Moreover, the Qingzhou Army used a clever trick to break Jurong, it was too easy, and it did not show the actual combat ability of the Qingzhou Army, and then it will definitely be misunderstood by the Western Army as an army of five scum in the war, this time to support it so that the Western Army can see, our men in Shandong are no worse than the men in the northwest!

"It's just that the second master took half of the people to support the Western Army, so Jurong only has more than 20,000 people stationed, and there are 70,000 soldiers there, what if this can't be deterred?" Qin Hui looked at Wu Zhi worriedly, and continued: "Do you want to ask Tong Shuai to send some people to help?" ”

"It doesn't have to be." Wu Zhi took a sip of tea, shook his head and said: "You also underestimate the Qingzhou Army, and the 70,000 Qingzhou Army can also look at them honestly, not to mention that Zhu Wujun's division is still in Jurong!" ”

Hearing that Zhu Wu stayed at Jurong Pass, Qin Hui finally stretched his frown.

Zhu Wu is so treacherous, who can make small moves from under him?

…………

With the help of the Qingzhou Army, the Western Army completely captured Suyang Pass one day later, and it took only four days, one day faster than expected, which was already a god speed for a less-to-more battle.

After this battle, no one in the Western Army dared to underestimate the Qingzhou Army, they finally saw that the Great Song Dynasty had risen a force that was not weaker than their Western Army, this army was disciplined, brave and fearless, and the generals in the army were all top masters of martial arts, and what was even more terrifying was that they also had a "scheming" military division!

The strong will be respected wherever they go, and the Qingzhou Army finally won the respect and recognition of the Western Army with their ability and bearing.

Since the second pass of Jurong Suyang has been taken, the door to the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River has also been opened, and after a little rectification, Tong Guan has been staying in Jiangning with 50,000 horses as the vanguard, followed by the Qingzhou Army and the Western Army after resting, and the 150,000 army swept to the area of Suzhou and Hangzhou on the same day!

As for the hundreds of thousands of rebels captured after breaking through Jurong Pass and Suyang Pass, they instantly turned from a thorny hidden danger to a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning under Wu Zhi's suggestion.

In fact, most of those rebels were originally honest and peaceful people of the Great Song Dynasty, but they were forced to rebel with Mingjiao because they were persecuted by the corrupt officials of the Zhu family and couldn't live a normal life. This was the fault of the imperial court, and they should not be punished too severely.

Besides, the law does not hold the people accountable, and it is simply impossible to punish hundreds of thousands of people for the crime of rebellion.

Therefore, Wu Zhi meant to break up the captured peasant army, send each of them home, and promise to give them land and return their property so that they would have a living and no longer want to rebel. Of course, Wu Zhi gave the rebellious ordinary people a big sweet date, and this slap must be beaten.

Applying both soft and hard policies is the best policy for governance.

The slap hit those anti-army generals, and the slap hit blood!

Wu Zhi didn't have any extra nonsense, and directly explained to Tong Guan that more than 100,000 people who rebelled could be acquitted, but more than 2,000 generals and military academy leaders in the rebel army would be beheaded! And behead in front of hundreds of thousands of rebellious people!

In the barracks, Wu Zhi's decision to kill shocked everyone, Tong Guan and those generals of the Western Army were secretly slandering Wu Zhi in their hearts just now, and it was the kindness of women to suggest that those anti-army people should be acquitted, and in a blink of an eye, they heard Wu Zhi's faint words and asked for thousands of people's heads!

How could they not be shocked!

However, after a short period of thought, everyone understood that Wu Zhi's methods were the most correct and effective!

The magnanimity of the hundreds of thousands of rebellious people is to gather the hearts of the people, and the torture of those leaders can deter everyone! In this way, not only will no one dare to take the lead in rebellion in the future, but it will also be of great benefit to the subsequent war to quell the chaos.

Later, when the rebel army fought against the imperial army, the grassroots soldiers would definitely not have much enthusiasm, anyway, if they lost, the imperial court would not only not punish them, but would also give them land. On the contrary, the big and small leaders and generals of the anti-army will resist more desperately, but the more desperate they are, the more they will make the low-level soldiers disgusted with them, why fight for the lives of our low-level soldiers for your life and death?

………

"Haha!"

Tong Guan laughed and gladly accepted Wu Zhi's suggestion, and at this moment, except for the proud Qingzhou Army generals in the barracks, everyone threw themselves to the ground for Wu Zhi's admiration!

What is Competency? That's ability! It's no wonder that Master Wu can rank high in the temple at a young age, and he has won the trust of His Majesty and hundreds of officials, which is really suitable!

————

The army pushed Jinshan all the way to the jade pillar, leveled the small rebel forces in the states and counties along the way, and it only took two days to hit the city of Suzhou, another important town of Fangla's rebel army!

As long as Suzhou is broken, you can go straight to the nest of the Fang La army in Hangzhou and fight the Fang La army head-on!

During this period, Wu Zhi has been taking Ling'er and the little county lord to follow the army all the way to the mountains and rivers......... They don't have to worry about military affairs, and the government affairs and people's livelihood restoration policies in the states and counties they pass through have been decided, and they have their own Qin Hui, Da Song Bank and the Chamber of Commerce jointly implement them.

It's Liang Yaya, Wu Zhi has already arranged for her to be in the Qingzhou Army, and became Lin Chong's deputy general, recently I heard Wu Song say that this girl's performance is very eye-catching, not only brave in battle, but also very witty!

…………

Under the strong attack of the imperial army, coupled with Wu Zhi's half-recruitment policy, Suzhou City was breached in less than six days, and Fang La's general Zheng Biao and military advisor Bao Daoyi were captured. This attack on Suzhou, the war only affected the city gate, Suzhou city is still antique, rich and elegant, without losing the style of the famous city.

I think this is also because most of the rebels in Suzhou City are local people in Suzhou, and where will they destroy their hometown.

After entering Suzhou City, Wu Zhi immediately received the seal and government of Suzhou Zhizhou, and he not only had the right to take over Suzhou as the Jiangning Mansion Yin who controlled the governors of the Jiangnan Prefecture, but also had the right to recommend officials to the imperial court to serve as the governor of Suzhou.

Suzhou is a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River, with a humid climate and beautiful scenery. As soon as they settled down, Ling'er and the little county lord came to ask Lawuzhi to go out to eat, drink and have fun!

Wu Zhi looked at Ling'er and the little county lord helplessly, others are suffering with the army, they are good, eating, drinking, and playing along the way, Ling'er's original light and graceful figure has become a lot plump. The little county lord has changed even more, and his handsome face has eaten meat.

"I have something to go to the barracks, and I'll take you out to play when I come back, you stay at home, don't run around." Wu Zhi instructed, he didn't persuade Ling'er to lose weight, he wouldn't say this, he wished Ling'er would grow more meat, the meat was not only healthy, but also very good!

After Ling'er obediently agreed, Wu Zhi took Qin Hui and a group of guards out of the door.

"My lord, what are you doing in the barracks?"

"Go kill someone!"

"Huh?!"

Qin Hui was dumbfounded, isn't the Lord of the Heart Dao addicted to murder? But he knows that adults kill those who should be killed, and they will never kill innocents indiscriminately!

In fact, the people Wu Zhi wants to kill this time are indeed the people who should be killed, because they are all important leaders of the anti-army.

But Wu Zhi went to kill them because of this, the reason why Wu Zhi went to kill them specifically was to avenge Wu Song and his own Sanniang!

………

Naturally, revenge is not the revenge of this life, but the revenge of the previous life!

Zheng Biao and Bao Daoyi, who were captured this time, were important figures under Fang La, in the Water Margin in the previous life, Zheng Biao was the murderer of Sanniang, and Bao Daoyi cut off one of Wu Song's arms with a sword! Wu Zhi still remembers how sorry and uncomfortable he was when he watched the Water Margin in his previous life!

In this life, Sanniang is his dear lady, and Wu Song is his dear brother...... Those two unlucky eggs fell into the hands of Wu Zhi, no matter how ridiculous the reason was, Wu Zhi must kill them as soon as possible!

In the past and present life, there was an inexplicable feud between nearly thousands of years, Wu Zhi did not forget to revenge, dare to ask if there is anyone more stingy than him in this world?

Absolutely not!
