Lu Wende knew that Wu Shaogang had launched the battle of attacking the city at night, he originally wanted to stop it, and the loss of the siege at night must be very large, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up, after all, he had been given full authority, and Wu Shaogang alone would command this battle.
Lu Wende knew all of the army's views on Deputy Marshal Wu Shaogang, and he would not bother to inquire about it, and many senior officers in the army doubted Wu Shaogang's ability, which was of great benefit to him as a commander.
Lu Wende did not even send his own guards to inquire about the battle.
"Report to the marshal, Dazu County has been taken, 167 rebel officers and sergeants have been killed, and 1,950 people have been captured, and the subordinates have lived up to the expectations of the marshal."
Lu Wende opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a long time.
There was even more silence around him, and everyone's eyes widened and looked at Wu Shaogang, thinking that the words they heard were fake.
This is too fast, so fast that people can't really accept it, even if there are 10,000 soldiers under Wu Shaogang, it is not easy to successfully take Dazu County.
After sorting out his emotions a little, Lu Wende finally spoke.
"Okay, very good, Ben Shuai knows that Deputy Marshal Wu must live up to his mission...
There were finally bursts of congratulatory voices around, and there were too many complicated emotions in this voice.
"Report to the marshal, the city is reasonable, after half an hour, please move the marshal and enter the county seat of Dazu."
"Vice Marshal Wu, this shouldn't be, the soldiers in front fought bloodily and took Dazu County, as the commander-in-chief, I should enter the city immediately, comfort many soldiers, how can I wait in the rear."
With that, Lu Wende stood up.
The guards outside the Chinese military tent immediately began to get busy, they needed to pack up everything and follow Lu Wende into the city.
Lu Wende, who was a little anxious, did not wait for the guards to finish cleaning up, and walked straight out of the Chinese military tent.
Dazu County.
The streets are very quiet, and there are no pedestrians in sight, including the entire county seat, which looks lifeless.
Lu Wende on horseback looked at all this, there was not much expression on his face, of course he was happy to win the first battle, but as the commander of the army, he still had to show his bearing and dignity.
To Lu Wende's surprise, there was not much smell of killing in the city, the silence and cleanliness were a bit excessive, but there were some blood stains at the city gate that had not had time to wipe off, and the nearly 2,000 rebel sergeants who were captured were all escorted outside the city.
The battle should have started at the city gate, there is no doubt about it, but what kind of ability does Wu Shaogang have to be able to completely take Dazu County in such a short period of time.
The state government is still majestic.
Lu Wende did not ride into the state office, but dismounted at the gate of the palace and slowly walked towards the state.
Wu Shaogang and others, who followed him, also dismounted.
The state government was the first place to be controlled, and there was a special feeling of cleaning up, and Wu Shaogang arranged for Zhang Binghui and others to personally guard the state government.
When he came to the lobby, Lu Wende's face finally showed a smile.
Next, the quartermaster began to clean the treasury of the state government, and the marquis of Yu began to receive captured rebels, as well as to record the merits of Wu Shaogang and others who participated in the battle.
After all the arrangements were made, Lu Wende came to the wing.
followed the guest room, only Wu Shaogang was alone.
"Vice Marshal Wu, this marshal wants to ask for credit for you, but this is only the first battle after the army is opened, there are still a lot of battles behind, and when the army triumphs, this marshal will definitely ask for credit for you in the court."
"Thank you, this is your subordinate duty."
"Don't be humble, this is the battle merit that Vice Marshal Wu should obtain."
"My subordinates thank you for your love."
"Well, Ben Shuai wants to know how you arranged the deployment next."
"The subordinates believe that the pace of the offensive should be accelerated, Liu Cheng and his main forces are all in Luzhou and Tongchuan and other places, there are not too many rebels in Changzhou, and there must be a lot of connections between them, one place is lost, the rebels in the rest of the places will have a lot of preparations, the subordinates believe that when they have no time to make decisions and actions, they will launch an attack, and if they are caught off guard, the rebels will be defeated."
"Well said, you are the deputy marshal of the army, the vanguard officer, the marshal has granted you the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, and you will be responsible for commanding the next battle, and the 10,000 people in the front army will all fight according to your deployment, and the marshal is still in the Chinese army."
"The subordinates must live up to their mission, but since the marshal said so, the subordinates will not be able to stay in Dazu County."
"Does Vice Marshal Wu want to quickly take Yongchuan and Changyuan and other cities?"
"That's true, my subordinates judged that the battle situation of the army's capture of Dazu County has not yet had time to spread."
"Okay, Vice Marshal Wu, this marshal doesn't bother, how to deploy, it's all up to you."
After a quarter of an hour, all handover formalities were completed.
Wu Shaogang led the front army of 10,000 people and left Dazu County.
Lu Wende led everyone and sent them outside the south gate.
Bidding farewell to Lu Wende and the others who saw them off, Wu Shaogang immediately issued an order, and the 10,000-strong army traveled day and night to the Zhubo River, where Luzhou and Changzhou meet, to find a good place to set up an ambush there.
Through the battle of capturing Dazu County, Cai Siwei no longer had the slightest doubt, and many officers under his command were also completely impressed, which made the implementation of the military order extremely fast.
Wu Shaogang did not plan to attack the cities of Changyuan and Yongchuan, but set up an ambush in the Zhubo River, the only place to enter Luzhou from Changzhou, which was a very risky move, if the rebels stationed in these cities did not plan to evacuate and continue to hold the city, the ambush of the army in the Zhubo River would be redundant, and left enough time for the rebels to prepare.
No one asked why, everyone obeyed the order and accelerated towards the river, and the scouts led by Wang 13 set off one step earlier to reconnoiter the most suitable ambush location.
The vanguard of 10,000 men, divided into two parts, 3,000 cavalry, marched at the fastest speed towards the river and arrived in an hour, and 7,000 foot soldiers arrived in five hours.
The county seat of Dazu is more than 150 miles away from the Bo River.
At noon, Wang 13 came to report to the tent of the Chinese army.
The location of the ambush was chosen in Anfu Town.
The map drawn has been placed in front of him, and Wang 13 has introduced the topography and landform of Anfu Town in detail.
“。。。 My lord, my subordinates asked the people around them, starting from Changyuan County, the only place to choose to rest is Anfu Town, Changyuan County is more than 50 miles away from Anfu Town, and the rebels marched to this place, so they must choose to rest and replenish their physical strength before marching. ”
"The overall terrain of Anfu Town is flat, only in the location of the town, there is a small piece of hills, and there are not many houses in the town, which is not enough to help the army set up an ambush, so the subordinates chose to set up an ambush in this place in the hills. . .
Wu Shaogang listened very carefully, and after Wang Shisan finished speaking, he walked straight to the outside of the temporary Chinese military tent.
"Let's go and see what Anfu Town is like."
In just a quarter of an hour, Wu Shaogang and his entourage rode to Anfu Town.
Anfu Town has long been devoid of people, leaving only a few empty houses, with no other cover around, it seems that it should be impossible to set up an ambush here.
Then, Wu Shao just arrived at the small hill.
The small hill is indeed easy to set up an ambush to prevent the rebels from discovering, but there is a fatal flaw here, the distance from Anfu Town is more than a thousand steps in a straight line, and when the army rushes to Fuan Town, the rebels are afraid that they will have fled long ago, and the ambush battle is likely to evolve into a pursuit war.
There is certainly a huge difference between making dumplings and catching ducks.
Without thinking too much, Wu Shaogang resolutely vetoed the small hill.
Back in the town again, Wu Shao just dismounted and walked around next to several empty houses, bowing his head in contemplation.
A quarter of an hour passed, Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui, Ma Long, Wang Shisan, and others were all a little anxious, if they could not choose a good ambush location, they would not be able to achieve the goal of completely annihilating the rebels.
Soon, Wu Shaogang stopped next to the empty house.
This is a large open space, close to the official road.
"Deputy Cai is in charge, ordering the army, cutting down trees, and quickly building wooden sheds in this area, the faster the better."
The temporary Chinese military tent has been relocated to an empty house.
Wu Shaogang pointed to the map on the table and spoke.
"Anfu Town is the best ambush location, the rebels must pass through here, and they must rest here, our ambush location, we chose here."
"You have all seen that the terrain of Anfu Town is not conducive to setting up an ambush, and the rebels never dreamed that we would set up an ambush in Anfu Town."
"Create a favorable situation out of unfavorable conditions so that we can guarantee a sustained victory."
"The news of the army's capture of Dazu County will spread after tomorrow, and the rebels stationed in Yongchuan, Changyuan and other places will start to evacuate immediately, and it will take about three days at the earliest to reach Anfu Town, we have enough time."
"During this time, you must build enough sheds in Anfu Town to let the army lurk in the wooden sheds, and how to keep these wooden sheds from being suspected by the rebels is a problem that you need to think about."
"The rebels evacuated from Yongchuan, Changyuan and other places will definitely carry grain and grass and other materials, and it is also our task to ensure that these grain and grass are not destroyed during the battle."
"Alright, let's go and get ready."
Wang 13 stayed.
"Wang Thirteen, lead the scouts to set off immediately, investigate the whereabouts of the rebels in Yongchuan, Changyuan and other places, and report them as quickly as possible without the slightest delay, in addition, the scouts lurking in Luzhou, Tongchuan and other places must also step up the speed of investigation, I think, once Liu Chuan gets the news that Changzhou has been recovered by the imperial army, he will definitely take action."
"I think that Liu Chuan will resist desperately, but it will not last long, once Liu Quan thinks that the imperial army is strong, he will choose to evacuate quickly, and at that time, our chance to completely defeat Liu Quan will come."
"All my analyses need to be supported by the intelligence detected by the scouts, and you order the scouts scattered all over the place to do their best to start collecting information." (To be continued.) )
