193. End the Yuzhang War

Being forced by Zhu Wei like this, Zhen Rong didn't have any other ideas, so he directly beckoned his men to leave Luling and go to Ganxian County, and then find a way to Jiaozhou. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that Di Rong wanted to leave so easily, but Zhu Wei didn't agree, Di Rong could go, but he couldn't get all the money, food, and population he got in Luling County.

Now Zhenrong has almost turned Luling County into a no-man's land, which makes Luling County what to do in the future, although Zhu Wei does not have enough officials at hand to manage the place, it doesn't matter if Luling County is vacant for the time being, but the population and money and food can't be taken away by Zhenrong.

Therefore, after Zhu Wei discovered Zhenrong's movements, he immediately received the Qingzhuang captured by Pang Yan and Tai Shici with the main force, and asked them to continue to pursue Zhenrong, at least they had to gnaw down tens of thousands of people and looted property from Zhenrong before they could collect their troops and return.

With the help of Zhu Wei's Three Kingdoms game map, Pang Yan and Tai Shici divided their troops again to pursue Zhenrong.

In order to avoid Zhu Wei's pursuit, Zhenrong personally led the main force of 10,000 Buddhist soldiers to the front, which was called to open the way in front, and then in the middle was the money, food and property he looted from Luling County, mainly composed of more than 10,000 Dharma Protectors under his command and 30,000 young people.

Behind them was the army of 70,000 or 80,000 old and weak women and children and a small number of young and strong people in Luling County, and Zhenrong divided them into seven teams according to 10,000 people, and the detachments accompanied them at different levels.

In this way, even if the army on Zhu Wei's side catches up, it will have to face these old and weak women and children first, even if these old and weak women and children have no combat effectiveness, even if the army on Zhu Wei's side receives them one by one, it will take some time.

In fact, Di Rong also deliberately abandoned the old and weak women and children, so as to leave with the young and strong people of Luling County, these old and weak women and children are also a drag and trouble for Zhu Rong, and it is a big deal to give up to Zhu Wei, but he can reduce the burden.

In this regard, Zhu Wei also found out in advance through the scouts, so Zhu Wei asked Pang Yan and Tai Shici to bypass these delayed teams of old and weak women and children left and right, and go directly to fight the central army that was transporting money, food, and assets.

Now there is no need for any intrigue in such a war situation, just to see who marches faster and who can catch up with whom first.

Most of the Chinese troops who escorted the grain and grass materials on the side of Dirong were young and strong people who had no fighting spirit and were forcibly coerced and relocated, and they had to transport so many materials, and the marching speed was naturally not fast, so when the former army of Dirong had just arrived in Ganxian County, Pang Yan and Tai Shici had already intercepted this huge Chinese army force that was at least more than 20 miles behind.

Then Pang Yan and Tai Shici rushed directly to this huge team left and right, cut off their waists, and divided them into two parts.

However, the general of the Zhenrong army who commanded the Chinese army also seemed to have received the guidance of Zhenrong, but he did not fight hard with the armies of Pang Yan and Tai Shici, and actually took the initiative to abandon a lot of transported materials and nearly 10,000 young people in the second half, and the more than 10,000 Protector People's Army carried the remaining 20,000 or so young people, and continued to run forward with the remaining grain and grass materials.

The army of tens of thousands of people was originally stretched out for dozens of miles, so the front of the Chinese army in Zhenrong was like a gecko with a broken tail to survive, taking the opportunity to leave the battlefield and continue to transport materials to Ganxian County, which was regarded as saving some grain and grass materials for Zhenrong.

Then Zhenrong sent 3,000 main Buddhist soldiers and 3,000 Dharma protector soldiers, plus 5,000 Luling Qingzhuang continued to stay behind with Ganxian County, and he took the other 30,000 or 40,000 people into the rolling hills at the junction of Yuzhang County and Nanhai County of Jiaozhou.

And it did take several days for Zhu Wei to receive and settle the old and weak women and children abandoned by Zhu Rong, as well as the captured young and strong, as well as the grain and grass materials that were intercepted.

In the end, Zhu Wei did not continue to pursue and kill Zhenrong, but only led his troops to approach Ganxian County, and after driving the soldiers and horses after Zhenrong was broken away from Ganxian County, he also collected his troops and turned around.

At this point, Zhu Wei can be regarded as controlling the entire Yuzhang County from the side, and the war state of Yuzhang is over.

However, after Zhu Wei ended the war, he moved the existing population of Yuzhang County from the original state of scattered counties in various places to the core area of Yuzhang County, that is, the surrounding areas such as Yuzhang City, Xingan County, and Liling County originally controlled by Zhenrong, as well as Panyang County, Yuhan County, Wuyang County and other counties around Panyang Lake.

Now that the local scholars and powerful clans in Yuzhang County have basically been cleaned up, Zhu Wei can take the opportunity to relocate the population and distribute the fields, so as to build Yuzhang into a rear base suitable for Zhu Wei's development.

The original scope of Yuzhang County was too large, and Zhu Wei did not have enough officials in his hands to rule over various places, so now he took advantage of the opportunity after the turmoil to simply gather the population together, which was more convenient for Zhu Wei's rule and management.

The concentration of the population can also concentrate manpower to improve the actual productivity of Yuzhang, and develop a suitable area with Panyang Lake and Yuzhang River as water sources, and turn it into a grain production base that can provide grain for Zhu Wei.

At the same time, the population of the ruling area was concentrated, and official decrees such as taxation and conscription could be carried out most efficiently, and the implementation of the decrees would not be delayed for too long because of the distance of the territory.

In fact, from the geomorphological environment of Yuzhang County, only the plain area formed around Panyang Lake and Yuzhang River is suitable for development and cultivation, and many other areas belong to the mountains and hills.

At least in terms of the current population of Yuzhang County, these core areas of Yuzhang County are enough to accommodate them, even if the people of Lingyang County and the Shanyue Mountain People of Jing County have migrated over, there is enough land for them to reclaim and live.

Abandoning those remote places can also turn these places into a relatively uninhabited buffer zone, so that Zhu Wei only needs to concentrate his forces to protect important territories, instead of dispersing his forces to deploy defenses everywhere, which is also militarily advantageous.

In this way, even if other forces want to invade Yuzhang and enter these no-man's lands, there is no food to supply nearby, and there are no civilians to recruit and serve, which will naturally increase the burden and consumption of their troops.

The loss of these remote places was an insignificant matter for Zhu Wei, but these invading forces had to divide their troops to occupy these areas.

Too few troops will not be able to stop Zhu Wei's counterattack, but too many troops will need to be transported long-distance supplies of grain and grass materials, which is also a burden and consumption.

If they moved people from their own territory, Zhu Wei could strike hard at any time, send troops to requisition, and recover these lost lands, just swallowing the people they sent.

It can be said that by shrinking the population of Yuzhang County, Zhu Wei can not only prosper the development of the core area of Yuzhang County, but also allow him to concentrate his fists on the surrounding foreign enemies.

Of course, it cannot be said that except for other places in the counties and townships around Yuzhang City, there are really no people living there, it can only be said that these people scattered in other counties and townships and mountains in Yuzhang County have become wild people for the time being, and they are not in Zhu Wei's official population statistics......
