Chapter 335: Destroying the withering and decaying
Xiao Yuan's point is in one sentence.
Liu Liangzuo's Chizhou Mansion and Huizhou Mansion are the barriers of Zhejiang, and if Zuo Liangyu wants to invade Zhejiang, he must pass through the vast territory of Chizhou and Huizhou. As long as the two prefectures of Chizhou and Huizhou were held, it would be impossible for the left army to enter the territory of Zhejiang.
Liu Liangzuo is a wall-to-wall grass, and it is a fool's dream to expect him to resist the left army. It is more likely that Liu Liangzuo and Zuo Liangyu will collude and come to Zhejiang to plunder together.
Fang Yuan Zhengrong said, "Xiao Yuan, you said it well! Since the imperial court and Zuo Liangyu have ill intentions, Liu Liangzuo in Chizhou and Huizhou must not stay any longer, and Liu Liangzuo's army must be incorporated as soon as possible, and the Xuanjia army will be stationed in Chizhou and Huizhou. ”
Fang Yuan said to Qin Zhan, "Fourth, you have made a great contribution this time, and after attacking Fujian, I will have a heavy reward." ”
Qin Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, he had committed a felony of the third degree, and he was afraid that his life was hanging by a thread. Now it has passed the test easily, and it has made a great contribution, which is a blessing in disguise.
This Mrs. Yuan is well aware of Fang Yuan's temperament, and her calculations are seamless, and it seems that following Mrs. Yuan is not as risky as she imagined. At least it's much more reliable than the stupid white sweet princess who doesn't know the world and causes trouble all day long.
Qin Zhan hurriedly retired happily, and the first thing he did when he left Canglang Pavilion was to immediately inform the big official businessman Xu Hua that he must treat all the women in the earthen kiln well, appease the emotions of the women, and even give compensation, as long as these women don't make trouble anymore, this big case is estimated to be able to pass in the dark.
After Qin Zhan went, Fang Yuan lay on the warm chair in the pavilion, stared at Xiao Yuan, who was bowing down to warm tea, and said, "Mrs. Yuan, you have also made meritorious contributions this time, and when I return from the attack on Fujian, I will make you a first-class lady!" ”
"Stand down, all of you!"
Xiao Yuan ordered the brocade guards and the maidservants who served to retreat, and then looked at Fang Yuan with a happy face and said, "I don't want that fateful lady, being able to spread branches and leaves for the son and have children is the greatest reward for the son." ”
Fang Yuan was stunned, but when he saw that her eyes were like silk, and her pink face was full of seductive rippling waves, and she was full of charms, he knew that she was ** again, and the lust in her belly was steep.
The brocade guards and maidservants all retreated with knowledge and interest.
Fang Yuan just stepped forward and hugged her on the warm chair and stepped forward. For a time, the pavilion was full of warblers, and the spring was strong.
Fang Yuan rushed to the Taihu base the next day, but he concealed the secret of the imperial court, and without verification, he could only loosen the outside and tighten the inside.
He only told the generals that Zuo Liangyu was about to move in Jiangxi, and he was afraid that he would take advantage of the Xuanjia Army's conquest of Fujian to sneak attack the Zhezhi region, and that he must first attack Liu Liangzuo in Chizhou and Huizhou, and advance the defense line against Zuo Liangyu to the line of Chizhou and Huizhou, so as to ensure the safety of the provinces east of Hangzhou.
The generals of the Xuanjia Army had no objection to this military plan, so Fang Yuan named Jing Jie, the commander of the Xuanjia Army, and Zhao Quanzhong, the commander of the cavalry battalion, to lead 10,000 iron cavalry, 10,000 infantry, and 1,000 artillery men to crusade against Liu Liangzuo. Of course, in view of Liu Liangzuo's consistent urine nature of the wall grass, this expedition is mainly to persuade surrender, supplemented by extermination.
Five days later, Jing Jie and Zhao Quanzhong led an army of 30,000 from the Taihu base, and the first target was Huizhou Mansion. Liu Liangzuo, who had been pretending to have a stroke and was bedridden, was alerted by the Xuanjia Army's expedition, and while shrinking his troops, he abandoned all the garrisons of the guards, concentrated the main force in the county seat, and sent a letter to Fang Yuan asking for peace with the army.
Fang Yuan immediately rejected Liu Liangzuo's request for peace, demanding that he give up any form of resistance and accept the reorganization, so that he could be appointed as the commander-in-chief of Songjiang Prefecture. The wealth of Songjiang Mansion is known to the world, and Fang Yuan prescribed this condition, which was to give Liu Liangzuo a fat shortage.
Liu Liangzuo was still reluctant to give up his military power, and he did not reply to Fang Yuan for a long time.
Ten days later, the Xuanjia army entered the territory of Huizhou Prefecture, and Huizhou Prefecture and County surrendered one after another. Huizhou was the nest of the Huizhou merchants, and before the expedition, Fang Yuan and the Huizhou merchants had a tacit understanding. The Huizhou merchant gang took over all the prefectures and counties of Huizhou Mansion on behalf of Fang Yuan, except for She County, where Liu Jun was stationed, and Fang Yuan did not plunder in Huizhou Mansion.
Thirteen days later, the Xuanjia soldiers arrived at the outskirts of She County, the seat of Huizhou Prefecture, and camped twenty miles away.
There were 10,000 Liu troops stationed in She County, Liu Zehong's nephew Liu Zehong, Liu Zehong has always regarded himself as a wise general, and when he saw that the Xuanjia Army was not stable when he first came to camp, he also wanted to play a strategy of the art of war, and sent 5,000 soldiers to raid the Xuanjia Army camp at night.
Jing Jie had long prepared for this sneak attack, easily defeated Liu Jun's sneak attack, and after the victory, he also sent Zhao Quanzhong's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to chase and kill, and Liu Jun, who went out of the city to sneak attack, fled back to Shexian County with only 2,000 remnants of the defeated general.
Liu Zehong went out of the city and failed miserably, and suddenly changed from a wise general to a coward, taking advantage of the fact that the Xuanjia army had not yet attacked the city, he fled to Chizhou overnight with six or seven thousand Liu troops.
Jing Jie received the military report of Liu Zehong's escape, and once again sent Zhao Quanzhong to lead the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to chase and kill, chase to the junction of Chizhou and Huizhou, and capture the main general Liu Zehong alive.
Jing Jie sent a sergeant to escort Liu Zehong to Fang Yuan for treatment, and all those who were willing to surrender and surrender were taken prisoner, and the prisoners of Liu Jun in this battle amounted to 7,000.
Liu Zehong was escorted to Suzhou City, because he had sent troops to resist the Xuanjia army, Fang Yuan immediately ordered Liu Zehong to be beheaded, and the head was sent to Liu Liangzuo along with a letter of persuasion to surrender again. In the letter, Liu Liangzuo was once again persuaded to surrender, and reiterated the rules, who else in Liu Jun dared to resist the military might of the Xuanjia Army, and he would end up with Liu Zehong!
Liu Liangzuo received Fang Yuan's letter and Liu Zehong's head, so frightened that he immediately ordered Liu Jun to retreat in Guichi County, the seat of Chizhou Prefecture, and ordered the whole army to dare to shoot an arrow at the Xuanjia Army and be punished by military law.
Liu Liangzuo strictly rectified the military discipline of 'never resisting', and sent a letter to Fang Yuan again, claiming that he was willing to surrender, and was Fang Yuan's head soldier, and went to Fujian with Fang Yuan, or resisted Zuo Liangyu. There is only one condition, that is, the army will not be reorganized, and this Liu army of 30,000 or 40,000 people will still be under the command of Liu Liangzuo.
Fang Yuan sneered and tore up Liu Liangzuo's surrender letter, and replied to Liu Liangzuo, the conditions for surrender this time have changed from the general army of Songjiang Mansion to the general army of Ningguo Mansion. Ningguofu is a state capital sandwiched between Huizhou and Suzhou, which can be regarded as changing from a rich mansion to a poor mansion, which is also the last warning to Liu Liangzuo.
Twenty days later, Jing Jie finished his rest in She County, and led the Xuanjia Army to attack Liu Liangzuo's last nest - Chizhou Mansion. The states and counties where the army passed, the county orders all led the officials of the government to surrender and surrender, and after Jing Jie was appeased, he did not enter the city, and went straight to Guichi County, the seat of Chizhou Prefecture.
Twenty-five days later, the Xuanjia army arrived at Guichi County, the seat of Chizhou Prefecture. Liu Liangzuo neither resisted nor surrendered, but just closed the city gates and sent a letter to Jing Jie, giving the final surrender conditions, allowing him to keep 5,000 personal soldiers, and the rest of Liu Jun accepted the adaptation.
Jing Jie was too lazy to talk nonsense with this stubborn warlord who was still dying, and immediately ordered the fifty guns of the artillery battalion to be placed in an artillery position on the high ground outside the city.
Ten thousand cannons rang out in unison, and the Xuanjia army bombarded Chizhou Mansion for three days and three nights, and the momentum shook the sky.
Liu Liangzuo's psychological defense line was completely broken down by three consecutive days of shelling, and on the twenty-eighth day of the expedition, he finally left the city and surrendered to the Jingjie military camp, and the 30,000 Liu troops in Guichi City also surrendered.
So far, it took Jing Jie less than a month to defeat the warlord Liu Liangzuo who was entrenched in Huizhou and Chizhou.
Jing Jie ordered Zhao Quanzhong to lead 5,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry to settle the people in Chizhou Prefecture, take over the surrendered prefectures and counties, and personally escort the captured 30,000 soldiers to Suzhou City with six guards to restore their lives.
Among the 30,000 Liu troops, Fang Yuan only selected 10,000 strong people, completely disrupted the establishment, and placed them in the Xuanjia Army infantry camp with a team of 100 people.
The rest of the 20,000 sergeants who did not meet the requirements of the Xuanjia Army stayed in Chizhou Mansion for the time being, and the battle with Zuo Liangyu was imminent, these sergeants were the five scum of the war, as long as the number was sufficient, they could also form a certain deterrent to Zuo Liangyu.
As for Liu Liangzuo, who has repeatedly grinded and chirped to negotiate conditions, he is unwilling to surrender quickly. Fang Yuan canceled all the previous promises to Liu Liangzuo to seal the officials, ordered him to hand over 500,000 taels of silver to buy money, and then took his family and silver, and left the territory of Zhezhi to find a way out on his own.
