Chapter 489: King Jin Sends Troops
Everyone is in their hearts, knowing that Du Jia is serious, he rarely repeats one thing, but once it is repeated, it means that this matter is extremely important, and it is best not to challenge his bottom line.
The officers and soldiers who surrendered were frightened when they saw Li Kui and others rushing over fiercely, thinking that they would definitely die, after all, they did kill many soldiers of Liangshan in this battle, and these so-called people in the rivers and lakes killed people and set fires are commonplace, and the slaughter of prisoners is not a problem, it is rumored that the troops of Tian Hu, the king of Jin and Wang Qing, the king of Chu, often do this kind of thing, especially that Tian Hu is said to like to eat people.
Therefore, they all breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Du Jia's strict order not to kill prisoners, and they looked at each other sweating profusely, feeling that they had walked around the ghost gate, so when they were asked later if they were willing to surrender, most of them were busy agreeing, which was unexpected by the leaders of Liangshan.
This battle can be described as arduous, a total of 10,000 officers and soldiers, dozens of generals, the last living soldiers are only less than 5,000, the generals are only more than 10 people, the battle loss ratio has reached an astonishing more than 50%, and the Liangshan side is not far behind, when Du Jia took people away, there were more than 3,000 people on Peach Blossom Mountain, and now in addition to more than 1,000 old, weak, sick and disabled women, although Li Zhong, Zhou Tong, Cao Zheng, they went down the mountain in advance, the soldiers who are still alive on the mountain are less than 500 people, and all of them are wounded, and the battle loss ratio is higher than that of the officers and soldiers.
In everyone's eyes, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court seem to be greedy, lazy, and afraid of death. Physical fitness, etc., are far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
In particular, the elite soldiers in each state capital are completely different from the 'native soldiers' who work in agriculture in their spare time in many townships and counties, and when they are busy, they are a strong man, and most of the rebel forces are facing more third-rate soldiers of the latter, so they are all developing well, and only when they have developed to a certain extent that they threaten local rule will they see the real army.
This is why the world is chaotic at this time, there are many anti-thieves and strong people, but there are very few who can really become bigger and stronger, and they are all very low-key, few people dare to rob the state and seize the government, to 'borrow some food' is the limit, even if it is as strong as Erlongshan, this level is no exception, because they all know where the bottom limit of the imperial court is, and they are not willing to touch it easily, and the magistrates also pursue the principle that more is better than less, so they can be safe.
Therefore, although the imperial court has been so dim, it is only the three of them who really dare to provoke a rebellion and capture the state capital, and it is also caused by the fact that the artist emperor has made too much trouble in recent years, and some people in the rivers and lakes still don't understand the reason, including many people on Liangshan, but today they saw that the strength of the officers and soldiers who broke out after the death order was given was also shocked.
Only then did they understand how powerful the strategy and command used by Du Jia to capture the three mansions before, maybe many of the recent proud achievements were not because of their own ability, but because the leader was a fierce tiger, many people suddenly had this idea in their hearts, and at this time, there were many voices clamoring to attack Qingzhou Mansion directly.
After all, there are a total of 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers in Qingzhou Mansion, and the two of them brought a total of 20,000 from Sun Wanchun and He Yuan this time, and they still have 40,000 or 50,000 there, and they occupy an absolute geographical advantage, so how easy is it to capture it? Even if you can beat it, how much will it cost? If Qingzhou's own strength is almost consumed, then what's the point of doing this, isn't it helping others make wedding clothes?
Among the high-level generals present, except for Li Kui, a Hun who only knows how to fight, the rest of the people, even Qin Ming, Shi Jin, Lu Zhishen and others are just brave and bold, not fools who don't know how to advance and retreat, and this kind of thing where the risk loss is far greater than the benefit will naturally not be done.
At this time, someone also found Li Zhong, Zhou Tong, Cao Zheng's team, Du Jia asked people to clean up the battlefield and pay tribute to the brothers who died in this battle, while letting everyone, especially those brothers in Peach Blossom Mountain, rest and recuperate, and at the same time convened senior generals to discuss the next move, after all, the siege of Peach Blossom Mountain is solved, and there are three cities in Ping'an Mengzhou and Dezhou, where there are also people sent by King Tian Hu of Jin, and the two sides have publicly fallen out since the last time at the martial arts heroes conference in Yangzhou, This Tian Hu side is naturally extremely hostile to Liangshan, and wants to take the opportunity to seize these three mansions, the pressure Lin Chong is facing is conceivable, and he is definitely not under Wu Song.
Du Jia expected it well, at this time, Lin Chong's side was also in dire straits, it turned out that after the news that the imperial court ordered Hu Yanzhuo to lead troops to attack Liangshan reached the Jin Palace, Tian Hu immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss the matter.
His younger brother Tian Bao was the first to jump out to speak, and after adding fuel to how Du Jia had stolen the limelight and suppressed himself at the previous conference, he strongly proposed to take this opportunity to snatch these three cities over, and by the way, kill all the people in Liangshan, so that the rivers and lakes would know the power of their Jin king.
At this time, Tian Hu had already occupied five prefectures, seven counties and fifty-six counties in Jizhou, with a population of millions under his rule, and his subordinates were naturally many heroes. ”
Tian Hu said happily: "Aiqing said carefully, this king is also about to hear what the benefits are." ”
Niu Wenzhong folded his fingers unhurriedly and said: "First, the second king was humiliated by the Liangshan guys last time, and it is also the shame of all the Jin princes who are waiting for us. Second, let the people of the entire rivers and lakes understand the power of my Jin Wangfu, and in the future, the number of people who dare to come and plunder the tiger's beard will decrease, and the number of people who take the initiative to obey will increase; Third, the Liangshan thieves seized the peace of Mengzhou and other three prefectures for a short time, inevitably unconvinced, the garrison is not strict, this time we can take at least one of the troops, which allows our power to expand to Qingzhou, and can be used as a bridgehead to continue to expand, the strategic significance is very great, now whether it is the king of Chu or the king of Wu's forces have not been able to go out of the state, if we can do it, it is difficult to estimate the prestige of the king. ”
After talking about the first mercy, the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, I will talk about the last of the four Bodhisattvas, that is, the "volunteer first" Jizo King Bodhisattva, this Bodhisattva is in charge of hell, and the ten halls of Yama are actually his subordinates, he once made a grand wish that "hell is not empty, and he vows not to become a Buddha", and must save all sinners, which is really admirable, his dojo is in Jiuhua Mountain, Anhui Province, who has an old man who has died and wants them to be reincarnated safely can go to worship
