427 immigrants to Lincang
Long before the battle, Su You had absolute confidence in hundreds of paragraphs, and most of this confidence came from the sophistication of his armor and the sharpness of his weapons.
But the result of the war was still much beyond Su You's expectations, he never imagined that this war would end so quickly.
If you have to summarize this battle, Su You may have some regrets about his artillery and Xijiao's 8,000 foot soldiers; It is the troops of the two wings that can build miraculous feats.
If it is said that the elephant soldiers of the dynasty are ten with one, the momentum of the three thousand heavy horses commanded by the Zhao Guozhao is not lost to the dynasty at all.
After all, there is still some essential difference between a long-range attack and a charge with a physical weapon.
The most unbelievable thing is that Jian Guozhao finally achieved beheading and took down Duan Ruqi's head in one fell swoop.
However, in the next reception of prisoners, Su Youzhan was very cheap.
In this era, when queuing, maybe the brave and tall people are not necessarily at the front, because the army still pays attention to the difference between the top and the bottom, and the people at the front are generally higher, which means that their equipment is better than that of the troops behind the palace.
Su You received only about 3,000 prisoners, but these people were all cavalry, and their physical fitness was generally better than the more than 18,000 prisoners received by Yu Guozhao; What's more, none of Su You's captives were seriously injured, and those of Su Guozhao were all old, weak, sick and disabled.
The reason for this result is that the Chinese army under the command of Su You originally captured nearly 10,000 people, and Su You selected 3,000 from these nearly 10,000 people; The 3,000 people of Fu Guozhao also captured nearly 10,000 people, but most of their captives were foot soldiers.
Su You picked the rest of the people, and they also gave them to Ji Guozhao.
In this battle, Duan Ruqi was not only cut off his horse, but also captured more than 20,000 enemies, which was really a great victory.
However, the reason for such a result is that it is inevitable to pay a certain price.
The Chinese army led by Su You lost nearly 1,000 men, and among the mixed troops led by the dynasty, there were five or six wounded elephant soldiers, and the cavalry also suffered nearly 100 casualties; Of the 3,000 cavalry, there were more than 200 casualties.
On Duan Ruqi's side, the number of deaths was seven or eight thousand.
After the statistics came out, Su You was still quite satisfied with such a result, after all, there was no loss in the soldiers and horses of his headquarters in this battle. It can be said that there were 3,000 more soldiers out of thin air, and he only paid for the horses, armor, and a small amount of food that he gave to Fu Guozhao.
As the saying goes, people-oriented, as long as there are people, what can't be created?
The reason why Su You was surrendered to Duan Ruqi's army was also because the current system of the Duan clan was slightly different from that of the East and West Plans.
The Duan clan implements the same county system as the Central Plains, and more importantly, most of the people who depend on the Duan clan came from Dongjiao more than ten years ago.
Now that Duan Ruqi is dead, they have become lonely ghosts, which is also the reason why Jian Guozhao shouted surrender.
However, if Su You wanted these three thousand soldiers to follow him with all his heart, what he had to do was to bring their families to Lincang City
Three thousand, based on five people per family, means that there will be 15,000 more people in Lincang City at once.
The current population of Lincang City is only a little over 10,000.
The surrendered soldiers waited for this regrouping, while the victorious side continued to clean up the battlefield and began to cook in the wilderness with impunity.
Su You had already retreated to Guancheng at this time, and he was about to go out for breakfast accompanied by the guards, but he saw Jian Guozhao walking over with Duan Ruqi's head a little sad.
Su You can probably understand the mood of the country at the moment, after all, the country and Duan Ruqi are also regarded as ministers in the same palace, and they are old colleagues for decades, at this time Ruqi died so unclearly, how could he not be sad about the death of a fox?
The "Envoy" Jian Guozhao handed Duan Ruqi's head to the guards beside him, bowed down and saluted Su.
"General Plan's first contribution today, it's really gratifying!" Su You immediately returned the salute, and he still saw the bravery shown by Ji Guozhao today.
However, Su You really didn't know what to say about those foot soldiers in his own Chinese army, if they could withstand the impact of Duan Ruqi's cavalry, the result might be another way.
Jian Guozhao did not get carried away because he killed Duan Ruqi today, but said humbly, "This is all due to the guidance of the envoy, the reason why we were able to quickly defeat the Duan clan has a lot to do with the good horses and armor weapons provided by the envoy." ”
Su You smiled and waved his hand, "Let's not praise each other here, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" Why not? ”
Jian Guozhao nodded, and hurriedly responded, "Go together."
The two walked together, and after walking more than ten steps, Jian Guozhao turned his head and asked Su Youdao, "By the way, I came here to ask the envoy for instructions, and I want to ask how the next itinerary will be arranged." ”
Su You said as a matter of course, "Let's set off to Funing City in the afternoon, let's stay in Funing City for three or five days first, and then go to the Iron Armor Fort after the reorganization and surrender." ”
Jian Guozhao nodded, "Now that there are no people defending the city in Funing City and Iron Armor Fort, I hope that the integration of them will be smoother." ”
"What General Jian said is that in the future, this Funing City and Iron Armor Fort will be your territory, and I hope you can treat your people well." Su You smiled, if possible, he really wanted to return to the army now, and then go back and make a deal with Jian Guozhao.
Su You believed that as long as he opened the north and south gates of Lincang City and let the people belonging to Dali City pass through smoothly, he would not worry that he would not obediently send the family members of the 3,000 soldiers he had newly surrendered to Lincang City.
But if you really want to go back here, there is still a hidden danger. - That is, Pu Bu, who has no hatred for Ji Guozhao, is likely to be in cahoots with him.
Fu Guozhao has surrendered nearly 20,000 people, and his current strength is already stronger than the previous Duan Ruqi, if he unites with Pu to attack Lincang City
As long as Su You is in Lincang City for a day, he will not worry that Ji Guozhao will be unfavorable to him, but he will always leave one day.
Pube, you must not stay!
At the very least, it is necessary to let Ji Guozhao form a big enmity with him, rather than a possible alliance against himself.
While Su You was thinking wildly, he quickly ended the day's breakfast, and the time was almost noon.
After a brief moment of news, Su You heard a report from the dynasty that the soldiers had been disarmed, and they had been connected with ropes and escorted in the direction of Funing City.
Su You didn't say anything, there were too few soldiers and horses in his own headquarters, and most of them were artillerymen and elephant soldiers, and these two troops couldn't be incorporated into the pawns at all. In desperation, I can only go to Funing City to make plans first.
The reason why he wanted to fight Funing City was to recruit the people, and the purpose of going to the Iron Armor Fort was the same.
By the evening of this day, the army of Su You and Fu Guozhao, as well as the captives who had surrendered, finally entered Funing City according to the original plan.
At this moment, Funing City is indescribably depressed, this is also because Duan Ruqi left in a hurry yesterday, and the original residents of Funing City also left early and hid in the countryside like last time.
Of the 3,000 strokes captured by Su You, more than 300 were residents of the left side of Funing City.
Of course, Su You asked them to show their identity certificates, and then Su You's people took their certificates and directly informed their families: "This land is about to become the territory of Ji Guozhao, your son has become a soldier in Lincang City, you can go to Lincang City to live." ”
Lincang City and Funing City are nearly three hundred miles away, maybe the people of Lincang City don't know where Funing City is, but the people here are finally full of yearning for Lincang City.
What kind of place is Lincang City?
It was an isolated island floating on the banks of rivers and lakes, but the tallest houses in the city were four or five feet tall, and there were large and small pipes above the city, from which the inhabitants of the city fetched water,—— they never had to carry water.
There are many, many legends of Lincang City, and almost all the people of Funing City hope to be able to go to Lincang City to have a look in the future.
Now, because their son or husband has become a soldier in Lincang City, they have finally been able to realize this wish.
So, from the next day, the mass migration finally began.
Around Funing City, ten rooms and nine empty rooms are heading north.
When Jian Guozhao heard the news from the soldiers, his face couldn't help but darken, these people nominally belonged to Su You's family members, but the name was just name.
The people who left their thatched huts and land to march towards Lincang City one after another, three or two out of ten were really the families of the soldiers who Su persuaded to surrender, and the rest followed suit.
Because they all know that in this land, the sky is really going to change.
Fortunately, the population around Funing City is not too large, at best, it is only eight thousand, but if the residents of the Iron Armor Fort also move to Lincang City at that time
Jian Guozhao didn't dare to think about it, and when he found Su You, he calmly told Su You what he had heard.
"Really? I will definitely send someone to investigate when I go back, and promise to give General Fu an explanation. Su You pretended to come to his senses, and nodded to comfort Guozhao.
The question is, Su You has the obligation to investigate, does he need to give an explanation to Ji Guozhao?
Of course, Ji Guozhao could hear Su You's hypocrisy and grievances, so he had to cry and say with a sad face, "Since they are going to Lincang City, I don't have anything to say, I'm just worried that these people can't stand the weather, and after walking such a long way, heat stroke or something is inevitable."
The subtext of Jian Guozhao is that the Iron Armor Fort is farther away from Lincang City, and he doesn't want to see the people disappear in the process of migration
Su You listened to the words of Fu Guozhao, how could he not know his worries?
Su You thought about it, and had to say, "If the countrymen want to enter the city, I can't stop them, otherwise I will be attacked and discriminated against by the countrymen." The so-called survival of the fittest, those who can adapt to urban life will naturally stay, and those who do not adapt will eventually return to the land on which they live. ”
He didn't know how to answer him, so he had to leave with a wry smile.
