Chapter 70: Irreversible
No matter from which point of view, Sui Crouching Tiger's night attack on the Longwei camp can be called a classic example, planning, marching, attacking, sweeping the tail, every step is done extremely clean and beautiful.
The total strength of the Flying Tiger Battalion was less than 1,500 people, and when it set out to guard Xiao Chang'an, the Longwei Battalion was fully equipped with 2,000 men; The Flying Tiger Battalion traveled for more than 70 miles, and when it arrived at Fenglingdu, it didn't have time to rest and enter the battle, but the Longwei Battalion was waiting for work; The Flying Tiger Battalion is a guest attack, after leaving Xiaochang'an, the rear is extremely empty, and hundreds of horse bandits are likely to seize the city, but the Flying Tiger Battalion is ......
No matter how many reasons are placed, the final result is that the Flying Tiger Battalion has achieved a big victory, Sui Crouching Tiger is worthy of being a tiger general who can fight habitually, he skillfully resolved all the unfavorable factors, and finally won this brilliant victory.
The Longwei battalion was wiped out, and no one could escape from Fengchidu, the Flying Tiger Battalion killed two hundred and ninety-eight people, more than one-third of the wounded soldiers, and Sui Crouching Tiger himself also had two stab wounds on his left arm, when the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion returned to Xiaochang'an with thousands of prisoners, the whole city suddenly boiled,
After several years of hard work, Xiao Chang'an has a population of 20,000 households, in addition to the map of the imperial court, there is no name on the roster, and the strength of Xiao Chang'an is almost in any aspect more than the nearby Lin, Xia, Yin, Sui and other states,
The people hate war, but they have no power and no power to control anything, they can only pin their hopes on the front-line generals, such as Sui Crouching Tiger, hoping that they can end the war with a great victory, Sui Crouching Tiger did it, this brilliant victory made everyone believe that the Shence army had failed, the end of the war was not far away, and Xiao Chang'an had turned the corner.
The news of the victory spread to Feng'an, Fengzhou, and Yongfeng, and all places were boiling, and the people took to the streets to sing and dance to celebrate the victory.
Fengzhou has become one of the most special military states in the Tang Dynasty, and the people here have a strong identity and regional identity, and a mantra they often hang on their lips is "We Fengzhou...... You ......", the special relationship between the Fengzhou government and the people is not found in other places in the Tang Dynasty.
In Fengzhou, the figure of the government seems to be everywhere, they put their hands on the people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, parents in a short time, the people are constantly complaining at the same time, but they also have a deep dependence on the government, so that the people of Fengzhou can rest assured that although the government of Fengzhou stretches its hand very long, but everything is according to the rules, the rules are formulated by the government, and at the same time, the people are formulated,
The government is the main defender of the rules, and the people are also the defenders of the rules, both of which are also the observators of the rules, which makes the people of Fengzhou feel that they are actually equal to the government.
It is precisely because of this equality that the people of Fengzhou have always been stingy with their own criticism of the bad things that the government has done, pick up the bowl to eat meat, throw down the chopsticks and scold their mother, the people of Fengzhou can judge the administration and personnel of the government, and when they are unhappy, they can also run to the door of the government yamen and scold three times.
An important duty of officials at all levels is to listen to the voices of the people and gradually improve the malpractices in administration.
So it seems that Fengzhou has become a perfect paradise, in fact, it is not the case, there are many problems in Fengzhou, many problems are still very tricky, although the government has made a lot of concessions to the people, but there is still 108,000 miles away from the people being the masters of the house, of course, the people do not want to trample the government under their feet, they actually want only a clean, capable, selfless, and able to work for the welfare of the people.
In Toyoshu, if you hear some outsiders slandering the Toyoshu government in a liquor store, those who were still at odds with the government will suddenly change direction and stand on the side of the government without thinking about defending the government's various wrongs.
Fengzhou people's trust and dependence on the government is also manifested in the fact that the government and the people share weal and woe, and the good news such as Sui Crouching Tiger's victory over Longwei Camp has become the common joy of all the people, because they still believe in the government, and the enemy of the government is their enemy, and defeating the enemy is of course a thing worth celebrating.
Yang Hao was both excited about this victory and felt a little abrupt, and even felt that it was not real enough, and Zhang Bozhong also had this idea, Zhang Bozhong has been busy with the reconstruction of the surrender city these days, Yang Hao had briefly returned to Feng'an to act as an agent for a period of time when he was in Shuofang, and after Yang Hao returned triumphantly, he returned to the surrender of the city,
Although far from the core of power, Zhang Bozhong is very concerned about everything that has happened in the south recently, Yang Hao because of the Jin Ling case executed Sui Fang made him faintly uneasy, he can understand Yang Hao's extreme respect for the majesty of the law, but this does not mean that Zhang Bozhong agrees with Yang Hao's approach, in fact, he thinks that Yang Hao has gone too far this time, at least it is not considered,
After all, Sui Crouching Tiger is a general in Hedong, and Sui Fang is the only bloodline of the Sui family, so these two things alone require that we must be cautious when handling this case, and the slightest negligence may leave unspeakable sequelae.
Raping a woman is of course the most evil, but considering that the scope of influence of this matter is very limited, Yang Hao can completely replace the death penalty with a lighter punishment, and even he can use his identity and power in his hands to pardon Sui Fang, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity to win people's hearts.
When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives.
Taking a step back, even if we have to take strict military discipline and prevent similar things from happening again, then we can also sentence Sui Fang to 20 years of hard labor like Li Hai and others, as long as people live, Sui Crouching Tiger and Sui Kite only need to be grateful to Dade.
But Yang Hao took extremely harsh measures, for the sake of a nameless maid, he stabbed the faces of two powerful generals, people live with one face, and hurting people's faces is equivalent to completely offending people.
If it is in peacetime, although this approach is inappropriate, there is no need to worry about causing any chaos in the end, after all, Yang Hao still has a lot of commendable places for the control of the army, even if he is as high as Li Tong and as powerful as Sui Crouching Tiger, if he embarks on the road of rebellion, the possibility of success is very small.
The problem is that it is not peaceful now, Qiu Shiliang is concentrating on making the last fight, the "God of War" Wen Shimao personally put on the battle, the disaster is coming with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, it is impossible to prevent it, Sui Crouching Tiger, who holds real power, has stood on the cusp of the storm, and there are too many things to tempt him,
Zhang Bozhong is eager to know what happened to Fengchidu, from here you can judge and evaluate what kind of impact Sui Fang's death brought to Sui Crouching Tiger and Sui Kite brothers and sisters, Zhang Bozhong got the internal report of Sui Crouching Tiger's surprise attack on Longwei Camp from the old department of the Inner Temple, this report comes from the hands of several undercover agents in the Flying Tiger Camp, rich and detailed,
Through careful analysis and comparison, Zhang Bozhong finally concluded that Sui Crouching Tiger took a lot of risks in this battle, did his best, and fought really rather than fakely, from this point of view alone, Sui Crouching Tiger did not have any suspicion, and his purpose in doing this was probably to prove his worth, so as to eliminate Yang Hao's distrust of himself because of the Sui Fang case.
"Could it be that I misunderstood him, he Sui Crouching Tiger is really a brave and loyal, and big-bellied man who can tolerate the world, he really doesn't mind Sui Fang's death at all, and he has always lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
Zhang Bozhong locked himself in his room and meditated for a long time, and then he called his cronies, handed him a letter, and instructed: "Be sure to hand it over to your lord." ”
The messenger hurried to Feng'an, and after arriving in Fengzhou, he learned that Yang Hao had set off south to Xiaochang'an in the early morning of the same day.
In addition to Yang Hao, Zhang Bozhong and Wen Shimao, who were puzzled by this great victory of Sui Crouching Tiger, when he learned that the Longwei camp had been wiped out overnight, the veteran of Rong Ma stood silently, half speechless, he really couldn't believe that the pro-army guard rate that he personally came out of would be wiped out overnight.
The name of the Longwei battalion is given by the Son of Heaven, it is the absolute trump card in his hands, the best record of the Longwei battalion is to defend the city for eight months with the strength of one battalion, causing 100,000 enemies to retreat without a fight, in Wen Shimao's plan, the Longwei battalion should at least deal with the three battalions of the Xining army, otherwise it is a great shame for this trump card force,
But now...... And it was only one battalion of the Xining Army that did all this, and the number was even less than 500 people in the Longwei Battalion.
Miracle, this is simply a miracle, what a terrible miracle,
Wen Shimao ordered to join the army and his staff to collect information about Sui Crouching Tiger as much as possible, and the old general carefully studied it word by word, and finally he breathed a sigh and sighed: "Don't grudge the public to let me be in charge, this Yang Hao is indeed extraordinary, even tiger generals like Sui Crouching Tiger are also under his command, rare, rare." ”
Speaking of this, seeing the guest Ying Guliu smiling on the side, Wen Shimao asked in confusion: "Mu Chen, is it possible that you also think that Sui Crouching Tiger's victory was accidental." ”
Ying Guliu said with a smile: "The handsome man is too overestimated Yang Hao, look at this." ”
Ying Guliu held two letters in his hand, one was a newly written letter, and the other was yellowed, he gave the newly written letter to Wen Shimao first, this is a long letter, written five pages, Wen Shimao read it in one breath, and immediately frowned, he asked Ying Guliu: "This letter was really written by him." ”
Ying Guliu smiled and handed the old letter in his hand to Wen Shimao: "This is borrowed from Hu Kong, please compare." Wen Shimao put the two letters on the public case, carefully compared the handwriting on the letters, his brows relaxed, and a flower bloomed on Ying Guliu's face: "The student carefully compared, the handwriting of the two is completely from the hands of one person, Dashuai, he is not using a plan, Sui Crouching Tiger is really going to be obedient to Dashuai." ”
Wen Shimao laughed and said: "If I can get this tiger general, it will not be in vain for my hard work." ”
At this time, a guard commander walked into Huwei Hall and said a few words in Wen Shimao's ear, Wen Shimao's face changed, and he advised: "Keep staring, if he wants to run, take it immediately." ”
