Chapter 332: You Retreat, I'll Advance
The Imperial Palace, the Agarwood Palace!
Getting the movement of the Xiaoguo Army, Emperor Xuanwu, who was in his thirties, kept changing his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking. It's not easy to be an emperor, and it's even harder to be an emperor without real power. There are no benefits, and the infamy is all about yourself.
"Li Jin, you have seen this Zhao Xun, do you think he can be used by me?" After a while, Emperor Xuanwu asked in a deep voice.
Standing under the jade case, in Zhao Xun's opinion, Xiao Huangmen, who was more stable than standing in a military posture, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that no matter how Xiaoguo Jun is, no matter how Zhao Xun is, he is a side general, he may have bad intentions, but it will not affect His Majesty's control of the center, and Zuo Xiang and King Qi are the biggest enemies in front of him." "This Li Jin is clearly the one who gave Zhao Xun the decree.
Emperor Xuanwu said thoughtfully: "You are right, as long as you control the center, it will not be a problem." ”
"Li Jin, what do you say about moving the capital?" Emperor Xuanwu said suddenly.
"Ah...... Move the capital, this ...... Slaves are stupid. "For Emperor Xuanwu's sudden idea, Li Jin, the little yellow door who had been waiting by Emperor Xuanwu's side, was a little caught off guard. Moving the capital, this is not a casual interjection.
"The rebellion in Liangzhou has not subsided for a long time, the situation in Xuzhou is erosive, and here is the place where the left forces are entrenched. The grain and grass in the south could not be transported to the west in time, resulting in a sharp rise in grain prices and prices in Yongzhou...... Moved the capital to ...... Moving the capital is the loneliness of a dynasty, but it is also the rise of a dynasty...... That's it, press it down for the time being, and wait until those officials ......" Gradually, the emperor's voice decreased, but the divine light in his eyes was still sharp......
When the news of the Xiaoguo army reached Chang'an City, the army had already entered the Weizhou Mansion, Rao is Luo Gan and the Xiaoguo Army had a secret agreement, but they were still hit by the strong blow of the Xiaoguo Army, when Luo Qian withdrew from Weizhou Mansion and entered Pingzhou Mansion, there were more than 6,000 fewer subordinates, and most of the looted property was robbed by the Xiaoguo Army.
"Wang Hao, you Xiaoguo Army, what do you mean by general? Didn't we talk about it, we retreated, and you entered? Why are you attacking us? In vain we have killed so many large families for you, you are simply ...... Do you want to swallow us up in one fell swoop? Hum...... We also have 50,000 warriors here, and it's a big deal to fight to the death. Luo Qian said angrily to the young man in front of him. This young man is a liaison messenger sent by the Xiaoguo Army, and he is also a member of the Eagle Eye Division.
Wang Hao sneered in his heart, and naturally understood what was going on. But he said with a smile on his face: "Du Shuai is angry, if we really have such thoughts, but I won't let you inform you of the time and direction of our army's attack." My general negotiated with you, and at that time, it was impossible to see the light of day, how could my soldiers know about this? It's just that you marched too slowly for the sake of your money, and only then did our army catch up. ”
Really don't know? In fact, most of the generals and colonels of the Xiaoguo Army know what Zhao Xun means, and besides, they are also Zhao Xun's subordinates, but they are not government troops or guards. The reason why they intercepted and killed the Yan army was precisely because of the goods in their hands. According to the list provided by the Shadow Division and the Eagle Eye Division, the Shadow Army looted these people on a large scale, and naturally seized a lot of property, how could Zhao Xun let them take it by the way? What's more, in a big battle, the two armies did not lose anything, how can this be justified?
Luo Gan also understands these truths, although he is angry, but he is helpless, he knows that although Liaodong Guo strongly announced to the Xiaoguo Army to let his troops go home, but Luo Gan knows very well that more people in Liaodong do not want them to go back, otherwise they will not ask for sky-high compensation. Don't say that the Xiaoguo Army will not compensate, even if it will, it can't be taken.
"Well, forget it this time! Bring your list, we're going to act, by the way, let your people cooperate, it's easier for us to siege the city. Luo Qian said in a muffled voice.
Wang Hao handed over the list in his hand and said: "My general said that it is okay to kill these people, but you can't kill innocent people, let alone wantonly destroy ......."
"You think we still have time for that?" Luo Qian said angrily, "By the way, why is there no Pingzhou City? ”
"Pingzhou City is high and thick, even if there is an internal response, it will not be able to take it for a while, so it is directly abandoned. By the way, the grain and grass provided to you by my general is in a valley thirty miles to the east, so you can send someone to fetch it. ”
Pingzhou City ...... Zhao Xun wants to kill him himself......
The Six Route Army has fought with the Yan Army, and according to Zhao Xun's instructions in advance, they only took over slightly, and after snatching the other party's finances, it was not the other party's hard work. The reason why there were 6,000 casualties was that Luo Gan retreated quickly, at that time, because 3,000 heavy armored cavalry appeared in front of Luo Gan, a charge, and the whole army of 4,000 was killed. At this time, Luo Qian finally saw the fierceness of the Xiaoguo army, and ordered his subordinates not to fight against the Xiaoguo army, and retreated quickly. This also makes the Yan army know that there is a kind of iron-clad cavalry in the Xiaoguo army, which is invincible.
"Into town!" Seeing the city gate open, Cao Xiong, the captain of the heavy armored battalion who had already entered the city, led the people in the city with the remnants of officials and some wealthy businessmen and households, and welcomed them on both sides, Zhao Xun laughed and said: "Weizhou Mansion has been recovered by my Xiaoguo army!" ”
Zhao Xun entered the city of Weizhou with his personal guards, accompanied by the governor of Weizhou, Yin, and some civil officials, who would immediately rule here. Although the Tatar army "fled in a hurry" under the blow of the Xiaoguo army, because the Tatar army carried out a massacre in order to plunder property, some long-standing clans were wiped out, so there was still a heavy bloody atmosphere wafting in the city.
For the arrival of the Xiaoguo Army, ordinary people are very welcome, especially those poor people, who are looking forward to the arrival of the Xiaoguo Army. Why? The Xiaoguo army is here, and there is a field. Ordinary people, not only Ben Gejia has a few acres of thin fields? Naturally, some merchants also welcomed the arrival of the Xiaoguo Army. The Xiaoguo army is coming, and the merchants are also very profitable. However, many businessmen, officials and some wealthy households are a little worried. The methods of the Xiaoguo army in the past have been widely spread by people who specialize in slaughtering large households with land. The rest were worried that they had surrendered to the Warriors and were working under them.
Zhao Xun didn't want to carry out any big purge, after some means of the Yan Army, more than eighty percent of the troubles that needed to be solved were taken care of by others, and the rest couldn't make any big waves.
"Hu Fuyin, immediately put up a notice to appease the people, as for the past mistakes, the past is not to blame. However, they must come to the government in person to confess their mistakes, and as for those who embezzle finances during the invasion of the Yan army, they will go to the government and hand them over. Three days is limited, and there is no waiting for expiration. As soon as he entered the Weizhou City Assassin Mansion, Zhao Xun said to Yin Hulan, the Weizhou Mansion who came with him.
Hu Lan nodded and responded: "The subordinates understand, the subordinates will do it!" ”
Maybe it was Zhao Xun's coercion, after all, the way out was in Zhao Xun's hands, so it didn't bring much damage to Weizhou City, and in comparison, it was basically undamaged.
"General, there is news from several other sources, all of them have completed the task, and the counties have been taken and are gradually being taken over." Wei Chen got back the news from the other roads.
Zhao Xun smiled: "Well, it's not bad, tell them, whether it's Jizhou Mansion or Pingzhou Mansion, don't cross the line." By the way, this is a twist and turn, report the victory, and pass it out. Anyway, we are also an upright imperial army, and if we win, we will report it. ”
Wei Chen took the order and left, while Han Meng and Hu Xiang entered together.
"General, since the Turquoise army has retreated, why don't we chase after it? When the time comes, even the Pingzhou Mansion will be taken together? When the army of the Devil has gained a foothold, it will not be even more difficult to deal with, and besides, the people there will also suffer. Han Meng said angrily.
Zhao Xun smiled: "Hu Xiang, tell me your opinion." ”
Hu Xiang said: "My lord's move, I'm afraid I don't want to cause other officials to attack, attacking Weizhou Mansion is reasonable, after all, it is Liaodong Kingdom that threatens us." However, it is a crime to enter the territory under the jurisdiction of another government without an order or an invitation from an official of another government to conduct military affairs. ”
"Oops...... There are a lot of things in this article, if the governor and assassin of Pingzhou Mansion don't ask us for help, then can't we send troops? Han Meng said puzzled.
Hu Xiang nodded and said: "That's right, all the prefectures are responsible for the military affairs, and before we receive their requests for help, according to the rules, we can't cross the border to send troops." Unless we are the Guards, but obviously we are not the Sixteenth Guards, and we do not have the right to immediately send troops across the border. ”
"What if the Pingzhou Mansion doesn't ask for help?" Han Meng said.
Hu Xiang shook his head and said, "Impossible, no matter who you ask for, you must ask for help, unless they can stop the Yan Army." Even if the officials were unwilling, the common people and the squires would not agree. Now Pingzhou Mansion has no one else to ask for except us, Yizhou Mansion and Haizhou Mansion. As far as Yizhou Mansion and Haizhou Mansion are concerned, they will not be able to come if they want to, and they will not dare to send troops lightly, so they can only ask us for help in the end. Saying that, Hu Xiang glanced at Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun knew that Hu Xiang guessed that he now had some contact with Li Huaiyuan, the governor of Youzhou, otherwise he would not have left 5,000 people on the border between Weizhou Mansion and Jizhou Mansion. If the governor of Youzhou does not speak, the Yizhou Mansion will definitely not send troops. In addition to the Xiaoguo army, the Pingzhou Mansion has no more troops.
Not to mention that under the takeover of the Xiaoguo Army, the various armies that originally attacked the Yan Army have become a group of bandit armies at this moment, clearing out the large and small mountain bandits in Weizhou Mansion. Speaking of Pingzhou Mansion, this is located on the east side of Weizhou Mansion, the south side of Haizhou Mansion, the terrain is extremely wide, there was originally a naval army stationed here, but since the invasion of the Yan Army, this water army has moved to Haizhou Mansion to assist Haizhou Mansion to resist the southward movement of the Yan Mansion.
As early as after the fall of Weizhou Mansion, Pingzhou Mansion laid out heavy troops at the junction of Weizhou Mansion and Pingzhou Mansion, and the original 11,000 government troops were now rapidly expanded to 20,000 people, which was fully doubled. Although the combat effectiveness has dropped greatly, there are many people, and it feels different in people's hearts. Fortunately, Pingzhou Mansion only has the northwest to hand over to Weizhou Mansion, and the defense is only three counties.
Weizhou Mansion seems to have a lot of troops, but a large part of them were involved by Li Muzhi of Jizhou Mansion, and in addition to Pingzhou Mansion's stubborn defense of the city, it did not let the Yan Yan army break through the county seat, but some towns and villages were naturally inevitably destroyed, as for these, the officials of Pingzhou Mansion had no intention of paying attention. With the Xiaoguo Army, the former Huolin Army became stronger and stronger, and Pingzhou Mansion gradually became safer, which also made the guards of the three counties relaxed.
However, things are so unexpected, after the Wei Ya army and the Xiaoguo army of Weizhou Mansion confronted each other, they actually fell thousands of miles and turned their attention to Pingzhou Mansion. The 10,000 Pingzhou government troops either died or surrendered.
The door of Pingzhou Mansion has been opened, and now there is basically no suspense in the vast area of Pingzhou Mansion, just like those girls in the green building, stripped naked and opened their hands to be at the mercy of others? Just waiting for the Evil Army to take possession of her......
