294 Dilemma

【Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.

The battleships that disappeared on the river at night reappeared like ghosts, with tens of thousands of Wei troops led by Wei Yu and 10,000 Zhou troops led by Sun Ce as the vanguard, followed by 100,000 mighty Tang troops, large and small warships spread all over the river, covering the sky and the sun.

Han soldiers hurriedly wanted to hurriedly line up to meet the battle, but the group of dragons was leaderless, and most of the middle-level officers were killed by the Tabai army that hid in the middle of the Han soldiers, and the Tang army reached the shore almost without any damage.

In front of him was twice as many enemies as his own, and there were still many enemy ambushes on the side, and Zhao Si and others, who had already surrendered, shouted to persuade them, and when the vanguard Wei army and Zhou army landed on the shore and lined up, except for some soldiers who were loyal to Korea, most of the Korean troops obediently laid down their weapons.

A big war is on the verge of breaking out, but neither side has suffered much damage.

In addition to the more than 3,000 casualties of the Tang army during the forced crossing before, only the Tabai army lost more than 30 people, which is basically negligible.

The casualties of the South Korean army were even more minor, with less than 2,000 of the 50,000 troops killed, most of whom were unwilling to surrender and died in front of the battle, and the remaining 47,000 were all taken prisoner.

This battle was fought so smoothly, but the Tang army was not very happy, especially the Zhou army, and even the action of pushing and shoving the prisoners was particularly rough.

Fang Li left the land of right and wrong early under the escort of Dian Wei and more than a dozen white troops, and now the generals are surrounded by the generals and look at the appearance of the army being unable to clean up the battlefield, and he is really a little crying and laughing: "These stinky boys, it is easy to win this battle, how can it be the same as losing the battle?" ”

Zhang Liao, who was commanding the dispatch, laughed when he heard this: "My lord, my Tang army is rewarded with military merits, and the easier the battle is, the less military merits the brothers will get, not to mention that the lord's white army in this battle has been out of the limelight, and the rest of the brothers will drink some residues, so they will naturally be unconvinced." ”

"So, it's still a widow, isn't it?" Fang Li angrily slammed a horsewhip on Zhang Liao's breastplate, "It's not good!" Tell the widowed soldiers that although Korea is no longer a weapon, the iron hooves of the steppe barbarians are still trampling on the land of our Central Plains, and there will be opportunities for them to make meritorious contributions in the future! ”

The 50,000-strong army was completely annihilated, and Shouduo became a naked empty city, just waiting for the Tang army to come and pick it.

Fang Li was naturally not polite, and ordered Gao Shun to personally lead 20,000 soldiers to the camp first, and in less than an hour, he took this bridgehead to capture South Korea.

The Zhou army and the Wei army were taken by the brave and good battle of the Tang army, and some people who had moved their minds had to press it again.

After entering the city, Jia Xu went to contact the heroes in the city to appease the people, while Fang Li took the generals to the town guard mansion in the city and spread out the Korean topographic map.

Half of the main force of South Korea had entered the prisoner of war camp of the Tang army, and the other half was fighting against the Bai Di army in the west, and now Fang Li had two options in front of him.

"First, regardless of Bai Di's army in the west, go directly north to bypass the mountains and attack the Han capital; The second is to go west, first to beat Bai Di, who went deep into the hinterland of Korea, back. Fang Li tapped his knuckles on the map, "Both paths have their pros and cons, what do you think?" ”

"My lord, the minister thought that he should lead the army to the north, and take the Han capital in one fell swoop while the main force of the Korean army was dragged by Bai Di!" Hua Xiong blew the beard on his upper lip high, and was the first to propose, "When Korea is taken, Bai Di will see the strength of my army, and he will definitely be self-defeating!" ”

"I don't think so." Without waiting for Fang Li to speak, Sun Ce immediately interrupted Hua Xiong's words, "Lord, Han Wu is already vulnerable, and it is only a matter of time before he completely takes South Korea, but the land is easy to win the hearts of the people, and Bai Di's large-scale attack is a good opportunity for our army to subdue the hearts of the people of Han Di!" ”

"The minister agrees with Captain Sun Ce's opinion." After receiving the title of Tang officer, Wei Yu seemed to be much more relaxed, and he also took the initiative to offer advice at this time, "The Han capital can be taken at any time, but if the grassland barbarians continue to plunder, the people of Han will be greatly damaged, and when the time comes, there will be no one on the land, and our army's gains will outweigh the losses!" ”

Fang Li nodded: "You all have a point, Wen Yuan, what do you think?" ”

"The minister thinks it's okay to go north and west, but the soldiers are fast." Zhang Liao said with a smile, "I hope the lord will make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Gao Shun also echoed Zhang Liao to agree, saying that the only way to leave the horse is forward.

Fang Li really hesitated at this time, as Sun Ce said, the westward march against Bai Di can indeed win the hearts of the Korean people, but at the same time, it will inevitably give Han Wu a chance to breathe.

If the war drags on for too long, until Zhao and Qin finish the battle, then whether Ying Renhao and Zhao Wu will be interested and stab Tang in the eye, Fang Li really can't say.

At this time, Jia Xu happened to walk into the hall of the town guard mansion, and smiled from a distance: "The minister heard the voices of the generals discussing through the courtyard gate, what troubles does the lord have?" ”

"Wenhe, you're just in time!" Fang Li's eyes lit up, this was the time for the strategist to play a role, and immediately went out in person to pull Jia Xu to the side of the map, and said his concerns one by one, "That's it, I don't know what Wen He has to say?" ”

After listening to this, Jia Xu thought for a while, and his expression instantly relaxed: "This matter is not difficult, the lord only needs to send a messenger to Han Capital, and say that our army is willing to help the Han army kill the enemy who is attacking from the grassland, and find Han Wu to borrow the way." ”

"Borrow?" Fang Li thought for a while, and suddenly patted Jia Xu's shoulder and laughed, "He is worthy of being a widow's poisoner!" The thief shouted to catch the thief, Han Wu is not a human being now! ”

"The lord has won the award." Jia Xu humbly arched his hand, "Our army doesn't need to be in a hurry, as long as it doesn't move here, and it looks like it won't take a step forward without Han Wu's permission, it can naturally be roasted on the fire, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the Korean people." ”

"Haha, good!" Fang Li laughed, "What a good strategy!" Our army can just take a short rest, and by the way, in the name of resisting the barbarians, we will pocket the nearly 50,000 Korean troops! ”

Jia Xu clenched his fists: "The minister is willing to run this trip for the lord." ”

"No need, kill chickens with a knife." Fang Li waved his hand, "It's just to send a letter, I'm calling the original officials of the priesthood, let him send it, and the widow will send troops to protect it!" ”

After that, he looked at Sun Ce who was standing aside: "Bo Fu, you are almost the captain of the school, the widow named you the general of the fourth grade, and went to collect the Han army for the widow!" ”

Sun Ce was overjoyed, and immediately clenched his fists and knelt on one knee: "Thank you, lord!" ”

Although he led the Zhou army of 10,000 people before, Sun Ce was still divided under Gao Shun's command and could not lead an army alone, and now looking at Fang Li's meaning, it is clear that he will fight as the main general of the Zhou and Han armies.

Yu Guang glanced at Hua Xiong with envy in his eyes, and Fang Li remembered that he had been this unqualified general for almost half a year, so he said: "Hua Xiong, the widow named you a five-rank tiger general, and you will serve under Bo Fu!" ”

Hua Xiong's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed and hugged his fists and saluted.

After the reward, Fang Li ordered Zhang Liao to be in charge of the military affairs, and Jia Xu contacted the internal guards of the Han border to obtain information about Bai Di's army as much as possible, and then ended the military discussion.

The original chief official of Shouduo was named Qian Ji, who was born in a wealthy local scholar family, and was rampant with Duo for more than 20 years, until the Tang army invaded the border and the violent kite army was stationed.

This mermaid and common people are good hands, and they have long regarded Shouduo as the personal reserve of his Qian clan, and he does not have much loyalty to the Korean clan, so he simply led the officials up and down to surrender as soon as the city was broken, and also took the initiative to hand over the household registration register, just to ensure that the Qian clan people are prosperous and rich for a lifetime.

For this kind of soft egg, Jia Xu did not hesitate to kick it into the mission to Han Du, although Qian Ji was unwilling, but he also knew that people had to bow their heads under the eaves, so they had to obediently take Fang Li's autograph letter into the carriage and leave Shouduo under the escort of three hundred Tang soldiers.

It was also a ten-day journey from Shouduo to the Korean capital, and Fang Li'an waited quietly for two days and still couldn't be idle, so he simply walked out of the town guard mansion and went to the prisoner camp to see how Sun Ce's recruitment work was going.

In order to facilitate the management and prevent the riot, Zhang Liao placed nearly 50,000 Korean prisoners in three camps, surrounded by Tang army camps, and even the Zhou and Wei armies forbade contact with them.

At this time, Sun Ce was in the original camp of the Korean army on the bank of the river, where 20,000 Han soldiers were held, which was the largest of the three prisoner camps.

Walking into the heavily defended camp gate, the atmosphere in the camp made Fang Li, who was somewhat mentally prepared, couldn't help but be taken aback.

I saw that the Han army was training in two units in the school field led by Tang soldiers, and there were teams of Han soldiers patrolling the camp, if you didn't look at the Tang army guards around with eyes the size of copper bells, just looking at the spirit of these Han soldiers, Fang Li almost thought that they were not captured, or the Han army under the command of the violent kite.

Of course, this is not all the case, and it can be distinguished that there are only 10,000 people who obey the command of the Tang army outside, and there are still many Korean prisoners in the tent who are still watching from the sidelines.

However, there were only 20,000 captives here, and in only two days, half of them had already been persuaded by Sun Ce, which was already a great feat.

You must know that these captives are not the same as the Wei army and the Zhou army, but the Tang army is an invading army, and they have a real national enmity with them.

Sun Ce and Hua Xiong were training soldiers on the school ground, and Fang Li didn't intend to disturb, so he casually pulled a Tang Army soldier who was guarding and asked, "These... Was it forced by General Sun? ”

The little soldier was startled when he saw that the lord actually accosted him, and hurriedly saluted: "Back to the lord, those Han pawns who are training and patrolling are all voluntary, General Sun said, you must not force it!" ”

"Really?" Dian Wei, who was following closely, gasped and hurriedly asked, "Is this the only one, or is it the same for the other two prisoner of war camps?" ”

"Back to the general's words, the villain doesn't know very well." The soldier replied embarrassedly, "General Zhang Liao once strictly ordered that the three prisoner of war camps should not communicate with each other, and the villain was stationed here because he did not know the situation elsewhere. ”
