Chapter 117: Great Harvest (1)

Liu Cheng led the army to evacuate Yusi Town, and Lu Wende was fully aware of it, but he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lu Wende knew very well that Liu Quan's overall strength had not suffered too much attrition, but he was just thinking about preserving his strength, and he was unwilling to fall into a desperate fight, so he chose to take the initiative to evacuate.

Lu Wende was thinking of the city of Luzhou, not the complete extermination of the rebels under Liu Quan.

Besides, Wu Shaogang is still waiting in Gaoqiao Town, so that Wu Shaogang, who is already the defense envoy of Tongchuan Mansion Road and the prefect of Luzhou, can resist Liu Quan, and it is justified that it is best to be able to exterminate Liu Quan and the rebels under his command, and it is not possible to completely exterminate it, and this credit is also certain.

In such a situation, there is no point in bothering to fight.

In his heart, Lu Wende had a strange feeling about Wu Shaogang, if it was said that in the battle of Ezhou three years ago, Wu Shaogang's analysis still had the element of accidental guessing, this time it was different, Wu Shaogang almost predicted the direction of the entire battle.

Such a talent is too terrifying, if he is promoted to the court, I am afraid that he will be a huge threat to Lu Wende.

So let Wu Shaogang work hard in front, and the biggest credit is for him Lu Wende, why is he unhappy.

When the army led by Liu Cheng was safely evacuated from the capital city of Luzhou, the army led by Lu Wende was still stationed in Yusi Town, and when the scout reported the news, Liu Quan's face showed a smile.

Liu Cheng began to evacuate calmly, all the money, grain, and households had to follow the evacuation, and the peasant households who were unwilling to evacuate were killed on the spot, and they could not leave anything to the Great Song Dynasty and Lu Wende anyway.

Such an evacuation must be very slow.

But Liu Quan was not in a hurry, he knew that Lu Wende would not send troops to pursue, what people wanted was the city of Luzhou, but not with him Liu Quan, since he Liu Quan politely gave up the city, Lu Wende naturally reciprocated and would not pursue.

The evacuated army, the pace of the march was slow.

Leaving the capital city of Luzhou and entering Longchang County under the jurisdiction of Fushun, Liu Chuan issued a second order, the army was divided into two parts: the front army and the middle army, the front army accelerated the speed of the march and went to Neijiang County under the jurisdiction of Zizhou to wait, and the rear army escorted grain and grass and peasant households to Neijiang County as quickly as possible.

Liu Quan's plan was slightly adjusted in Neijiang County, and some of the peasant households were escorted west to Chengdu Prefecture, which was a gift to Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia, and Liu Heima, the envoy of the Chengdu Road Army, and some peasant households were escorted to Tongchuan Prefecture to the north, which was a guarantee to make Tongchuan Prefecture strong.

You must know that the number of peasant households forcibly relocated by Liu Cheng this time has reached 300,000, and this number is staggering.

According to Liu Quan's plan, about 200,000 peasant households will move to Chengdu Prefecture, about 700,000 people, and nearly 100,000 peasant households will move to Tongchuan Prefecture, about 300,000 people.

With such a generous gift, Kublai Khan must have looked at it differently.

This is Liu Quan's capital, and what the Mongolian steppe lacks most is population.

The front army of 3,000 people, all of them cavalry, was the elite army under Liu Quan's jurisdiction, the Chinese army of nearly 13,000 people, all of whom were foot soldiers, responsible for escorting the farmers, Liu Cheng followed the actions of the Chinese army, and the front army was commanded by his most trusted commander.

Fushun, Zizhou, Puzhou, Suining and other places are all under the control of Liu Quan and Liu Yuanzhen, so these places are safe for the time being, Liu Quan does not have to worry too much, when this evacuation, there are too many people and horses, and it is always good to pay a little attention.

After the deployment in Longchang County was over, Commander Ma immediately led 3,000 cavalry and set off for Neijiang County.

The Chinese army led by Liu Cheng set off at the same time and headed for Neijiang County.

According to Liu Quan's prediction, the cavalry arrived in Neijiang County for about ten days, and the Chinese army would also arrive, and at that time, everything would be arranged, and the army would not have to stay in Neijiang County for a long time.

Wu Shaogang, who was in Neijiang County, heard the scout's report, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

The information that the scouts have detected this time is very accurate, because they are the scouts who captured the rebels.

Wu Shaogang originally had a headache, Liu Quan's heart was too big, and he actually escorted all the peasant households, starting from the capital city of Luzhou, according to the intelligence detected by the scouts, the peasant households were close to one million, and it was overwhelming all the way.

In the face of such a team, Wu Shaogang was a little at a loss, in case Liu Cheng abandoned the farmers and fled desperately, Wu Shaogang would not be able to pursue them at all, because the chaotic farmers would make it difficult for the sergeants under his command to move an inch.

Unexpectedly, Liu Cheng actually divided his troops, and the front army was all cavalry, with a total of 3,000 people, which was Liu Quan's most elite army.

Wu Shaogang knew very well that as long as the 3,000 cavalry was completely wiped out, it would be equivalent to cutting off Liu Quan's right-hand man.

By that time, Liu Cheng had almost lost the ability to fight and became a lamb to the slaughter.

Wu Shaogang also couldn't imagine that Liu Cheng would make such a confident and arrogant decision.

God wants people to perish, and he will definitely arrange everything.

Intense deployment began.

In Neijiang County, 4,000 soldiers were deployed, including 1,500 soldiers brought by Wu Shaogang from the capital, 400 soldiers were stationed in Gaoqiao Town, including 100 under Wu Shaogang, and 600 were stationed in the north of Guobei Town, including about 400 under Wu Shaogang.

Such a deployment of troops has formed a tight encirclement.

Even if the cavalry under Liu Quan's command escaped from Neijiang County, there were sergeants stationed in Guobei Town waiting to the south, and sergeants stationed in Gaoqiao Town waiting to the north, they had no chance to escape.

This is a tragic battle, 3,000 cavalry is Liu Quan's most elite army, Wu Shaogang will never show mercy to his subordinates, unless there are sergeants willing to take the initiative to kneel and surrender.

Besides, Wu Shaogang's eyes have already fixed on these more than 3,000 war horses, this thing is too precious.

With these 3,000 war horses, Wu Shaogang was able to form a powerful cavalry in a short period of time, and carried out special training for cavalry.

Against the iron cavalry of the Mongol Tartars, there were only cavalry.

The scouts' reconnaissance is more frequent and more careful, they must not reveal their whereabouts, if they are discovered by the cavalry of Liu Cheng's former army, it will be a great disaster.

Wu Shaogang was not easy at all, he personally deployed and implemented them one by one.

The commander of Gaoqiao Town is Cai Siwei, and the commander of Guobei Town is Zhang Binghui.

Wu Shaogang was the commander of Neijiang County.

Once the 3,000 cavalry under Liu Quan's command was completely wiped out, Wu Shaogang's operational deployment would be adjusted immediately, and he would not continue to defend Neijiang County, but would take the initiative to start attacking.

When Wang 13 entered the county hall, his face was a little red.

"Report to my lord, the cavalry under Liu Quan's command has passed through Guobei Town, less than thirty miles away from the county seat of Neijiang, and his subordinates expect that they will arrive at the county seat tonight."

"Very good, entering the county seat at night is more conducive to our battle, and then go to reconnaissance and report at any time."

Wang 13 left the lobby.

Ma Long, Du Xiaoqi, Qin Han, Zheng Tongwu and others followed closely into the lobby.

"Du Xiaoqi, tell the sergeants waiting at the city gate not to show any flaws, once the cavalry under Liu Quan's command enters the city, lead them to Nanzhi Street in the south of the city."

"Subordinates obey."

"Ma Long, the ambush on Nanzhi Street, and the upcoming ambush battle, the stakes are very high, and there can be no mistakes, tell the ambushed sergeant that unless it is a last resort, you can't easily shoot the war horse."

"Subordinates obey."

"Qin Han, Zheng Tongwu, the north and south of Nanzhi Street are garrisoned by you respectively, I don't want to see the cavalry under Liu Quan's command rushing out of Nanzhi Street, you must do your best to kill the rebel sergeants who rushed out of Nanzhi Street to the greatest extent."

"Subordinates obey."

"Okay, you all go and deploy, I'm waiting for your good news at the county office."

When he was about to leave, Ma Long looked at Yuan Shichun beside Wu Shaogang and suddenly spoke.

"General Yuan, the safety of the adults will be entrusted to you, if there is the slightest mistake, I will not let you go if you become a ghost."

Wu Shaogang waved his hand and motioned for everyone to deploy.

Wu Shaogang's side, there were only fifty sergeants left, Zhang Binghui, Ma Long, Cai Siwei and others were not at ease, but Wu Shaogang insisted that as long as there were so many people, most of the troops would be put into battle.

Wu Shaogang's ability, everyone is very clear, ordinary people don't want to get close at all, but all the people who entered the city this time are cavalry, and it is inevitable that there will be accidents, Wu Shaogang is the backbone of everyone, and there must be no mistakes.

Zhang Binghui and the others also kept an eye on it, all of them who stayed with Wu Shaogang were scouts, brave and abnormal, with their protection, even if it was thousands of cavalry, don't think about rushing over in a short time, as long as there is enough time, everyone will be able to rescue immediately.

The lobby was quiet, and Wu Shaogang slowly walked to the wing.

The map on the table was full of signs, all of which were drawn by Wu Shaogang himself, and each arrow was a specific deployment, and he explained them in detail.

As long as there is no major accident, the 3,000 cavalry under Liu Quan's command will face the end of the annihilation of the entire army.

After exterminating the 3,000 cavalry, Wu Shaogang immediately began to deploy the next move.

The battle of Yusi Town, Wu Shaogang also knew many situations, which made his opinion of Lu Wende change more fundamentally, at least he thought that Lu Wende was difficult to become a big person.

Wu Shaogang did not report to Lu Wende for all the deployments of the Battle of Neijiang, and he had already regarded this battle as his own battle and had little to do with Lu Wende.

Wu Shaogang is not greedy for military exploits, what he needs is real things, such as war horses, money and grain, farmers, etc., and the rewards of the imperial court are not uncommon for him at all, and these military exploits will be taken by Lu Wende.

It's called taking what you need.

However, Wu Shaogang has a bottom line in his heart, that is, Lu Wende should not meddle in the affairs of war horses and money, otherwise Wu Shaogang will not be polite, he will try his best to calculate Lu Wende, so that Lu Wende will not be able to get great credit, and his dream of promotion will be shattered.
