PS: The second chapter is in the afternoon, thanks for casually pulling to become the master of this book

The beating of drums and trumpets stirred the gloomy and lonely air of dusk, and before sunset, the city of Xiaoyi finally fell, and after several days of hard fighting, the victors involuntarily let out the sound of the mountains and the tsunami.

Compared with Juyeyi, which was weakened and exhausted by the activities of the bandits, the Hanging Hill and the Lishan camp that were attacked by a single blow due to the rout of the army, and the Shengdouyi that was destroyed by the front and back, Chengpu was the most tenacious one in the four towns of Punan.

When Zhao's army came to the front of the city, the people and animals fled back to the city, and the gate of the city was closed, refusing to surrender.

However, at this time, Zhao Wuxian's soldiers, Yi soldiers, pavilion soldiers, and even the laborers transferred from the newly occupied provinces, the division of Zhao soldiers brought by Post Wuzheng were also under his control, and together there were 6,000 people, which was equivalent to the total population of the city.

After several days of attacking, the gates were breached.

Of course, the last meritorious work was a chariot built by the craftsmen's workshop of the Diogaoka, the stakes were made of the trunks of large trees, fastened with bronze chains, the top was sharpened and hardened by fire, and the wooden roof was paved with a wooden roof to prevent arrows and stones from falling from the castle. This thing was there on the occasion of Yin Zhou, and it was the so-called "with Er Linchong, in order to cut down Chongyong".

After a massive armed march swept away possible resistance inside and outside the city, Zhao Wuxian gave the first order.

"Let the soldiers make fires and make meals, reward the meritorious ones with the money and silk they carry, and call out some of the bedding in the city. But the soldiers were not allowed to enter the city, and the officers of the army set up camp under the western wall, dug trenches, and placed sharp stakes. Don't slack off, there are still robbers nearby. ”

Kan Zhi, who followed him, said with a smile: "Isn't the largest 'robber' in Pushang under the command of the gentleman?" Although Pu Nan has some thieves who are not subordinate to each other, the subordinates feel it. I'm afraid no one will dare to offend Si Ko's angry scales. ”

"Hunger can make people take risks," Zhao Wuxian didn't intend to take the slightest risk, not to mention that what he really had to guard against was actually the patriots in the city who participated in the resistance and died in the war, and they would hide in the sullen eyes of their patriots. Admittedly, many of them were not happy about Zhao Wuxian's occupation of the city, but fortunately, so far, their disgust has only been stuffed in their hearts.

Later. When Mail Wuzheng asked Wuxian how he planned to deal with Punan Siyi, Wuxian replied: "The country has repeatedly betrayed the Jin, and it must be punished, and I want to temporarily occupy and rule this place." ”

"If the Qi people go south, or if the main force of the defense of the country returns, these four towns will still be unstable."

Wuxian pondered for a moment and said: "To the south of the land of Punan is the Cao State that is friendly to me, and the grain that Zigong bought in Taoqiu will be transported in a steady stream, and there is no longer any need to be blocked by the taxation of the Weiguo Pass." To the east is Onozawa, where the bandits have been crippled. Now for the sake of some food to feed my subordinates, they are even willing to take chestnuts for me, and this time the group of thieves has landed on the shore, and they have been lured to surrender a lot, as long as they do a good job of good governance. The theft can be quelled. In the north, it is separated by Pushui and backed by Xilu, and the Qi people must first break through the two defense lines of Qin, Yi, and Fan, as well as Zhen, Xiaqiu, and Yuncheng before they can threaten here. ”

"So the only enemy we have to face now is the Patriotic Nation to the west. But Sima should also know that the main force of the guard army is now cocooned and self-bound. Trapped between Qishui and Huanshui, he couldn't move, even if he returned to China. It will also be blocked by his father's army, and it will be difficult to threaten this place. The only thing to worry about is that the Qi people will go all the way south after breaking through Yiyi, but fortunately it will be winter, and after the snow falls in mid-November, the fighting will be suspended for several months, until next year's spring ploughing is possible to resume the war, and I have time to consolidate my rule in Punan. ”

You Wuzheng was very skewed at Zhao Wuxian's strategic vision, and the gentleman of the secret road became more and more proficient in military affairs two years after leaving the country, and he could be called a good use of soldiers, commanding half of the army. It was a wise choice to give up the coach to him.

As the saying goes, "Those who make good use of the soldiers, no longer serve in the army, and the food is not for three years." "In this era, the attrition of nature to an army is far greater than that of a campaign.

Of course, after this sentence, there is another sentence: "Take it for the country, because the food is for the enemy, so the army can have enough food." Zhao Wuxian occupied Juye and Weeping Hill. After the three towns of Shengdou, they all left a brigade of people to garrison, and before the support arrived, their grain was naturally collected from the local treasury, and if the treasury was insufficient, it would be apportioned to the people of the city.

But in order to win the hearts of the people, Zhao Wuxian didn't plan to go too far, so he didn't even let the red-eyed soldiers enter the city and station, because in the process of attacking the city, there were hundreds of casualties on both sides of the attack and defense, and if it was not strict, it was inevitable that something bad would happen. Looting, raping, and killing, when the anger and ** hidden in the depths of human nature are awakened by the killing of war, this is something he can't control one by one.

The solution is very simple, reward them with great merit and reward them, and punish them harshly to deter their courage.

Ignoring the ban on entering the city, the looters had their heads cut off and hung on the building, and Zhao Wuxian also stood here overlooking Pushui, and to the north, Zhang Mengtan organized a group of people to build a ferry there to facilitate the communication and material transportation between Xilu and Punan. On the straight road in the south, Zigong's caravans continued to transport grain and clothing through the Shengdou.

With these two blood transfusion pipelines, Zhao Wuxian was not going deep into a foreign country in Punan, but like defending against the enemy at home.

"The Qi people are too strong, and now I am afraid that only Fan and Bank of China will not be able to withstand it for long. As for the defenders, how to weaken them as much as possible while preserving the power of the Zhao clan is what we need to consider. Now that my father has crossed the river and gone straight to Diqiu, when the situation in Punan is stabilized, I will wait for the opportunity to move and go to join him......"

……

In Zhao Jun's big tent, before Qu Wuji said goodbye, Zhao Ying talked with him for another half an hour.

Zhao Ying expressed his gratitude to Qu Wuji for his willingness to let the black-clothed armor of the Zhao clan pretend to be Wu envoys and seize the Thorn Ferry.

This can be regarded as a trick to abandon honor, and it is also an act of tarnishing the country's credibility if it is done by the envoys of Wu. But when Fu Suo, who was under Zhao Ying, proposed this policy, Wu Guoren did not have the slightest psychological burden, and agreed in front of the promised benefits.

When there was still a little bit of discipline and scruples to persuade Qu Wuji to think about it again, Qu Wuji disagreed: "Zhao Qing promised us, if you are willing to cooperate." The price of the horses will be slightly reduced, and the state of Tan will be recognized as belonging to the state of Wu. Where is the benefit, why not agree? ”

As for the credibility of the country...... Except for the years when Ji Za sent Zhuxia to Zhuxia. Has Wu Guo ever had such a thing? Didn't the king who now sit on the throne kill the royal bureaucrats by treachery and a fish-intestine sword?

It turned out that the Wu people were not as old-fashioned as the Zhuxia nobles, and they didn't care about some tricks in the war, and from the very beginning, they were not a country that liked to play cards according to common sense.

"Taking advantage of the funeral to fight" was originally a taboo among the princes, but this is the favorite thing of the people of Wu State, and it has been criticized by the historians of Zhuxia for this reason. And the Wu people didn't care about prevaricating with "I have a tattoo, and the etiquette is not responsible".

For example, in the spring of the thirteenth year of King Wu, Wu took advantage of the death of King Chuping and the turmoil in the country, and raised troops to attack Chu. King Wu sent his younger brother Gongzi Baoyu and Gongzi Zhuyong to lead an army to surround Liu, Qianeryi of Chu State, and also sent Ji Za to envoy Jin State to observe the movements of the princes.

A few years later, the king of Lao Yue died of illness, and the state of Wu took advantage of the funeral to fight again, resulting in the famous battle of carrying Li.

Let alone. In the past ten years, Sun Wuzi's soldiers did not tire of deceit, and Wu Zixu's unscrupulous means for revenge and victory have deeply affected the Wu people.

"Since the Qi people are the enemies of the Wu State. The Jin State was an ally of the Wu State, and the Qi Wei united against the Jin, although the Wu State could not contain the Qi State in the south. But we helped Zhao Qing to win the thorns this time, and we can be regarded as fulfilling the oath......" Qu Wuji quibbled.

Although there was a marriage between the state of Qi and the state of Wu. But the princess surnamed Jiang of Qi State, who was previously married to the prince of Wu, died of anxiety because she missed her hometown, and by the way, she also took away the soul and life of the sentimental prince of Wu Guoxian. Family affairs turned into funerals. King Wu also resented Qi because of this, and the prince was able to be successfully replaced.

Therefore, Qu Wuji only cared about whether Zhao Ying's promised benefits could be fulfilled, and after a few months of getting along, he also determined that there were many political affairs in the Jin State, but Zhao Yingji was a person who did what he said, and he was the most trustworthy secretary of the Wu people in the Jin State.

Coupled with the indirect in-law relationship with Zhao Wuxian, Qu Wuji's coming north this time is not so much the Jin-Wu alliance as the Zhao-Wu alliance......

……

After talking, the two saluted each other and said goodbye, Qu Wuji returned to the tent of the Wu envoys, and Zhao Ying put on armor and the dark color daze sewn by his daughter for him, and went to inspect the camp.

To be honest, this is the life that Zhao Ying likes. On the battlefield, walking among the soldiers is much more comfortable than staying in the Xinjiang court and the lower palace.

The soldiers of the Zhao clan loved him very much, and in front of a campfire, three soldiers recruited from Jinyang invited him to share the hares he caught, and a young black-clothed armor soldier who had been a retainer of the Zhao clan for generations asked him for instructions on how to defend against short sword attacks with his shield.

He strolled downstream along the river and saw two Rong women riding on the shoulders of two Wenxian county soldiers, playing and frolicking on the shallows. The two Rong girls were half-drunk and disheveled, giggling and laughing to grab each other's messy leather clothes, while a dozen other Wen County soldiers cheered around.

This time, Zhao Ying's cousin Zhao Luo sent his son Zhao Guangde more than 1,000 people to help, but the combat effectiveness and military discipline of the soldiers in Wenxian County were not optimistic.

After crossing the thorns, Zhao Ying led his army all the way along the river to the northeast, and now arrived at Chuqiu. These places are full of shrubs called "Jing" and "Chu", so they are named after Chu.

In modern times, the country was attacked by the Di people and almost perished. Duke Qi Huan took the princes to rescue the guards, and moved the five thousand guards to Chuqiu, after a few decades, Rong Di's troubles were particularly existent, and the guards may feel that it was still not safe here, so they migrated to Puyang, the emperor hill dozens of miles to the east.

Nowadays, Chuqiu is still a mixed Huarong population, and there is a small stronghold of the Rong people "Rongzhou", which can be seen from the wall of Diqiu, and these Rong people have no sense of belonging to the country, so they are willing to provide camps and food for Zhao Ying's army.

The reason why Zhao Ying chose to stay in Chuqiu was also because it was not far from the north bank of the Great River, and the left and right armies of the Wei Guo had given up blocking Fan's, they left between Qishui and Huanshui, and were stationed in a place called "Tanyuan", and they could cross the river at any time to recover Punan, which was captured by Zhao Wuxian.

However, Wei Hou did not dare to try it after all, because Zhao Ying, who was facing the confrontation between the rivers, would attack him at any time, so he was embarrassed to be caught between the three Jin armies of the Zhao family, the Fan family, and the Handan family, ranging in number from 10,000 to 5,000. Zhao Ying has already sent someone to inform the two families, although Zhao Fan and Fan have enmity, but such a three-sided situation is an excellent opportunity to weaken the defense of the country, if they do not obey, Zhao Ying, as a higher authority of the Chinese army, can even give the last of the Liuqing ranking of the lower army Zuo Fan Ji to buckle a big hat of collaborator!

The official is a senior and crushes people to death, just as he was bullied by Fan Marting, and now it is Fan Marting's son's turn.

As for the Handan clan, although the small sect has already come out of the five suits, in the face of the sect master's order, they can't help but think about one or two.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ying couldn't help but show a smile, he is now forcing the guards in the west and Puyang in the east, as long as his son sweeps Punan and comes to join him, and the army is nearly 10,000, it will make the guards even more uncomfortable.

At this moment, a messenger drove into the camp and sent a message to Zhao Ying.

The letter is not thick, only a thin piece of paper, but after reading it, Zhao Ying's mood on his face is like winter weather, which changes suddenly.

The priest Zheng Long asked what had happened, and Zhao Ying closed the letter and said slowly:

"Qi people, finally broke through Yiyi!" (To be continued......)
