Chapter 286: The Great War is Beginning

After Tuoba Sigong led the army to retreat, Yang Gan and Wang Bo came to Li Bao, Yang Gan tied himself up, and knelt down in front of Li Bao with more than ten peasant army generals, and said: "The sin general Wang Bo has seen His Royal Highness King Ji, in the past, he was stupid, he didn't know the royal way, and he didn't know the king's might, but today I was fortunate to meet the king, and I ask the king to forgive some past sins!" ”

Li Bao hurriedly leaned over to help Wang Bo and the generals behind him. said to Wang Bo and others: "General Wang's words, in the past, Wang Huang gathered people to rebel and rebelled against the government, and the first offenders were Wang and Huang, and their responsibility was the heaviest, and you and others were accomplices, and the responsibility was slightly lighter.

Moreover, it is also a good deed for the people to raise troops to resist corrupt officials and corrupt officials. The iniquities you have done in the past are not too many, and they are not considered to be great sins. As the so-called prodigal son does not change his money, General Wang and his generals can get lost and know how to return. ”

Li Bao first clarified the size of the responsibility for Wang Bo and others, and designated the officials they killed as corrupt officials and corrupt officials, reducing their criminal responsibility, leaving a foreshadowing for Wang Bo and other generals to clear their identities in the future, and also clearing the way for Wang Bo and others to integrate into the Weizhou Army.

After listening to Li Bao's words, Wang Bo was very excited, where to find such an empathetic lord?

The peasant army that came with Wang Bo knelt down and faced Li Bao in unison: "King Shengming, a certain convincing!" ”

Li Bao waved his hand to let everyone get up, and then turned to Yang Gandao: "The safety of the Weizhou army recruitment this time depends on voluntariness, if there are soldiers who do not want to submit, you must give them travel expenses, let them leave, and do not leave behind." ”

Yang Gan nodded in agreement and stepped aside.

Li Baoxin was very happy to have more than 4,000 people from Wang Bo, but most of these peasant armies came from Henan Province and Hebei Province in the east of Shanshan (倄山), and they were both guest troops in Fengxiang and Weizhou.

If Li Bao took them in, he would have to move all their relatives to Weizhou, so that the newly attached peasant army could return to their hearts. In addition, this can also increase the popularity and military resources of Weizhou.

This matter should be carried out as soon as possible, while Huang Chao has not yet lost his heart and Shandong, which is still stable, so as to facilitate the relocation of the population.

This matter is Li Bao's moral politics, and it is also his special feature. There has never been a high-ranking person who has been so dedicated to the soldiers at the bottom, so after Li Bao told Wang Bo of his plan, this fierce man with an arrow wound was moved to tears, and immediately knelt down in front of Li Bao, and swore on behalf of the remaining soldiers that he would obey King Weiji's orders in this life.

Li Bao helped Wang Bo, and then instructed Hu Sanbao: "Take General Wang to meet the Song military envoy, and arrange for someone to lead General Wang and his subordinate teams to Weizhou to accept the reorganization." ”

Hu Sanbao took Wang Bo with him according to the order, and when they were far away, Li Bao waved his hand and beckoned Yang Gan, hammered him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Good job, it is worthy of coming out of our Jiwang Mansion." ”

Yang Gan couldn't hide the smile on his face, he smiled and said: "That's all the credit of the king, a certain is just a little novelist, but this time the success is not complete is the credit of a certain person, and the one called Li Sike has contributed a lot, so the king still rewards him well." ”

"Well, of course I will reward him for his merits, and you will also be rewarded for your merits." After Li Bao finished speaking, he remembered something again, and said, "Why did you scare away Tuoba Sigong, I just said a few words and he retreated." ”

Yang Gan laughed, "The Song military envoy just asked our Weizhou army to come out of the hidden place, and fully armed, and take out the momentum of our sworn battle." In addition, General Wang asked all his subordinates to come out and aim at the camp of the Youzhou army, and the Tuoba thief saw that we were all pointed at them on both sides, why did they still sit? ”

"Haha, let's let them go first. Alright, it's time for us to go back, the big war is about to begin. ”

Five days later, after learning the news that Wang Boye had surrendered, Shang Rang was furious, packed up his troops and horses and set off with his army, and approached Fengxiang.

Zheng Ji was very happy when he learned the news of Shang Rang's march, this time Shang Rang led his troops to rush forward and didn't care about the snooping of the Fengxiang Army scouts, and Shang Rang did not send a large number of scouts to find out the news of the Tang Army, so Shang Rang, who knew his confidant and did not know the other, did not know that he was stepping into a trap.

Zheng Jin was excited about the upcoming decisive battle, and it turned out that he only had some gray hair, and there were even more gray hair. Although Fengxiang's army was busy, Li Bao leisurely walked behind the Shangrang army with the Weizhou army, waiting for an opportunity.

Since he had a stalemate with Tuoba Sigong on the matter of Wang Bojun, Li Bao has not gone to Fengxiang again, first, he is afraid that Zheng Zheng will be difficult to do, and second, he has his own plan.

As long as Li Bao does a good job of ambushing them on the way back, the Shang Rang army, which is like a frightened bird, will definitely be frightened. Coupled with the powerful killing of Li Bao's unique weapon gunpowder, it will definitely be able to make Shang Rangjun go and never return.

So now that Li Bao has no pressure, he just needs to find the way back for Shang Rangjun, and if you want to determine their return, you have to find their food channel. If you find the grain route, you can cut it off at any time. At that time, the lack of military rations would be even more chaotic, and there would be no strength and confidence in Li Bao.

As for the main battlefield of Longweipi, Li Bao only needs to send someone to monitor it. Once the decisive battle on the main battlefield begins, Li Bao can cut off the grain road and disrupt his army's heart, so as to win the bet between him and Tuoba Sigong.

On March 27, Shang Rang led his army to the main battlefield of Longweipi, and after discovering the Fengxiang army waiting on the opposite side, Shang Rang ordered the army to set up camp and prepare for battle.

Shang Rang is bound to win this time, so the generals below are very confident, but after all, Shang Rang is a military advisor, and he has never served as the commander of the army alone, and Huang Chao chose Shang Rang as the main general this time to strengthen Shang Rang's authority and capital.

Experience is really a very important qualification, especially in ancient times, when the inheritance was very difficult, Shang Rang, as a military advisor, watched Wang Xianzhi Huangchao command Ruoding very chic, but when he came here, he was full of loopholes, and he lost the other.

From this, it can be seen that there is still a big gap between thinking and doing, which is also the fundamental reason why there are many failures and few successes in the world.

The soldiers under his command also wanted to raise objections, but they were blocked by Shang Rang Qingpiao's own proposition. Since the boss said so, then there are still people who dare to say anything, so the Shang Rang of Yiyantang has finished the plan, and with a big wave of his hand, he waved his hand with the demeanor of a Confucian general, and said to the generals in the hall: "In this battle, all the generals will work together, and the sergeants will use their lives, as long as this battle is won, you will not be far away." ”

All the generals shouted in unison: "Nuo, a certain group must fight together to defeat the officers and soldiers." ”

"Okay, everyone will be like this, a certain heart is very relieved, and the revitalization of Daqi is hopeful!"

Early the next morning, the two armies finished their meal early, and set up a position on the slope plain, with a distant view and a war imminent.

Zheng Zheng stood on a high place and looked at Tang Hongfu beside him, Tuoba Sigong and others: "This battle still needs the unity of all military envoys, and Tang Zhongxing will rely on all military envoys today." ”

Everyone saluted Zheng Ji in unison and said in unison: "This is a matter of equal importance, and you should be attentive." ”

The "dong dong" drum sounded, and the big battle was about to begin.

A hundred miles away from Longweipi, another battle had also begun.
