The army went north to Shaozhou to join Pan Mei's army.

Behind the vast mountains to the east is He Shui, where is Pan Chongche's army. He didn't move, but he didn't dare to be careless, the scouts kept sending out, scouting the movements of this army, and when the scouts came back, Pan Chongche had been as safe as Mount Tai.

Song Jiuhu was puzzled.

The Southern Han Dynasty is about to reach the point of life and death, why can't this number one general of the Southern Han Dynasty move? After thinking for a long time, he said to Yin Chongke: "General Yin, how about we send someone over to persuade him to surrender?" ”

Yin Chongke also felt that something was wrong. He was hesitating, of course it would be better to persuade him to surrender, it didn't matter if there were 30,000 Han soldiers, Guan Jian was Pan Chongche. He alone was worth 30,000 Han soldiers. So he shouted, "Set up camp." ”

This has to be considered, Pan Chongche is not moving now, which is also a good thing for Song Jun, Pan Mei took Guangzhou, and Pan Chongche had to surrender. It's better to be able to persuade you to surrender, but if you can't persuade you, maybe you will startle the snake. The Song army camped, and the two discussed in the big tent for most of the day. It was decided to send a messenger to persuade him to surrender, and to pass a letter and not say anything. If you don't force, don't persuade or induce, you can lower better, and if you can't lower, you won't let him be angry.

The letter was written, and the messenger rode to the Han army camp.

Riding a horse, dozens of miles of mountain roads, or a river of water, not far away, in the evening the messenger returned, said: "Pan Chongche promised to surrender, only put forward one condition, hoping that we would abide by the eleven military regulations. ”

Lao Yin high-fived Song Jiuyi excitedly.

Really surrender, they are not murderous people, it is better to surrender, why do they have to engage in bloody battles.

However, his scribe Zhang Rong asked uninterestingly on the side: "Who will be surrendered?" ”

The other party was the first general of the Southern Han Dynasty, and brought 30,000 Han soldiers to surrender free of charge. At least one minister who can handle it should be sent to the past. At this time, there were only two people in the army, one was Yin Chongke. The second is Song Jiu. The edict came down, and Song Jiu had a marquis. is still the prison of the three armies, and both of them are enough to go and surrender. There is another way, that is, let Pan Chongche come and surrender by himself, this is obviously impossible, he is a famous general of the Southern Han Dynasty, and he has been humiliated by surrendering, how can he come and surrender in person without shame.

Everyone was silent.

Song Jiu looked at everyone's expressions, his heart was clear, and said, "I'll go." ”

Yin Chongke couldn't go. If he let Pan Chongche suppress it, the two armies would be close at this time, counting on Song Jiu to command? Then Pan Chongche was able to lead the army across Heshui after deducting Yin Chongke, and eight or nine times out of ten of this Song army was eaten. The entire battlefield immediately turned gray, and even the Southern Han Dynasty could turn defeat into victory.

can only go to Song Jiu, he has a status, and without him, it will not affect the army, Pan Chongche is a fraudulent surrender. He didn't dare to do anything to Song Jiu, otherwise he would have mobilized his military horses to fight with the Song army.

Yin Chongke mobilized the guards, Song Jiu waved his hand, and said, "It is to mobilize a hundred guards to go over." How about taking 30,000 soldiers and horses? On the contrary, it will appear weak and unnecessary accidents will occur. Don't use it that way. I'm just a civil servant. ”

said, with Guo Da, Guo Er and Wang Zhen. Let them carry the bed before to be surrendered.

Approaching Heshui, Wang Pillow does not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth. Very happy, Pan Chongche is the god of war in the hearts of the Southern Han people. I went to accept Pan Chongche's surrender by myself, and I have a face. The Guo brothers' faces became solemn.

As soon as I arrived at Heshui's edge, I saw countless dense troops on the other side. In fact, Song Jiu didn't have much bottom in his heart, anyway, in this work on the front line, it was better for him to come less, and danger was everywhere. even faintly hated himself in his heart for talking too much.

got on the boat and came to the opposite shore, and suddenly the Han army on the shore cheered: "It's really Song waiting for the bed." ”

"It's Song Hou."

"Song Hou is here."

The cheers grew louder and louder, it was not too far from the barracks, and the shouts also alarmed the soldiers in the barracks, and many soldiers ran out of the barracks. It's not like it's welcome, it's like watching a movie star.

Song Jiu finally smiled bitterly, and finally understood why Pan Chongche didn't fight, and he surrendered immediately with a letter, the morale was like this, how could Pan Chongche fight?

Pan Chongche also looked at Song Jiu, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, he still had 30,000 elite soldiers, how dare this minister of the Song Dynasty only bring a few people to surrender? Thinking of this, the mood is even more gloomy, there is no way to fight, look at the leaves and know the autumn, and then think about the people outside Hezhou City who dare to attack the city with shovels, such a country, such an army, such a minister, how can the Southern Han Dynasty be the enemy. Strode forward and said, "The sinners greet the Son of Heaven. ”

"Don't use it, in the future, you and I will be ministers of the same court, how can you come from the words of the ministers? The war is not with you, and the surrender is not with you. Let's go to your camp and talk. ”

He led the way in front, and countless Han soldiers surrounded him on both sides, and almost the entire military camp became empty, and they came out together to welcome him. The scout on the other side of the river quickly rode back to report to Yin Chongke, rest assured, Song Jiu was fine.

Yin Chongke sighed in the big tent: "The old man and Pan Mei were all robbed of the limelight by this kid. ”

Wang Zhen and Guo Da continued to carry the Hu bed forward, and Wang Zhen's knife slashed Song Jiu miserably, and his leg still hurts faintly. But he can walk, but if he walks far, he must carry the bed, or ride a horse, and the ride on the horse is also painful.

Many Han soldiers asked Wang Zhen, is it the person you cut, the following spread is evil, and it also spread to Pan Chongche's military camp, causing morale to be even lower, everyone is unwilling to fight, and Pan Chongche can't fight. Otherwise, he wouldn't have surrendered so easily.

Wang Zhen straightened his chest and replied, "It's me." ”

The cheers were louder.

No one wants to die, especially to go to an uncertain battle, and they are even more unwilling to die for Liu Gang. When he arrived at the middle tent, Pan Chongche and Song Jiu talked about the surrender of the army. Song Jiu also talked with Yin Chongke for a long time yesterday. There are two ways, the first is to learn from Kang Yanze, recruit the Han soldiers, and use the Han soldiers to deal with the Han soldiers. can be vetoed by the two, Kang Yanze is a special case, although he only has nearly a hundred guards under him, but there are tens of thousands of brave Song soldiers in the rear. There is this backer hundreds of miles away, although he is at odds with Wang Quanbin, but where do those soldiers know the inside story? Therefore, it can be successfully recruited. It can't be done in Lingnan, it's too far away from the capital, and even the Hunan troops are empty. There are only two troops, Song Yin and Pan Mei, with more than 10,000 people. If it's not well organized, it may rebel. There are so many examples of this in history.

The second is to repatriate home, but not all of them. In the past, there were only a few thousand people, and most of them were soldiers from the surrounding areas of Hezhou. There was no problem with sending it home. Now they are repatriated, mostly near Guangzhou. must be reorganized into the army by Liu Gang. The number of enemies will increase in the future. It must be divided into two steps, those west of Hezhou can let them go back, and those east can not be put back, let Pan Chongche continue to lead, still stationed by Heshui, standing by.

But this significance is not trivial, after some of the soldiers were released, Pan Chongche had no choice but to go to the end with the Song Dynasty, although he did not put them on the battlefield. But it is equivalent to a reduction of 30,000 enemies, and even a relatively powerful army of the Southern Han Dynasty.

Song Jiu also had another thought in his heart, the population of the Central Plains had plummeted, Lingnan was also not good, and the wars were endless, including the barbarians, there were definitely no more than 300,000 households. When Li Jing came down, it was nearly 600,000 households. Many roads were deserted. These soldiers can be used to repair the surrounding roads for later management. But he himself vetoed it. Although surrendered. There are too many examples of massacres and surrenders in ancient and modern times. Wang Quanbin did it. These soldiers were not allowed to go home, and secondly, they came to build roads, and they would have bad thoughts in their hearts. Therefore, it is still mainly quiet.

Surrender is like an enemy.

This process is the most sinister. Only when it is pacified can it become a real surrender. A soldier who surrenders without a fight. The pacification was not good, and a mutiny was provoked, and the consequences were serious. Song Jiu carefully told Pan Chongche about the plan. Pan Chongche said depressedly: "But listen to the orders of the eunuchs. ”

"The old general must cooperate."

It took a few days to repatriate the soldiers. Most of them remained. Song Jiu explained to them again, from beginning to end. For fear of misunderstanding, the Song army was stationed dozens of miles away and did not approach. Song Jiu had almost arranged it, so he said goodbye to Pan Chongche and returned to the barracks. Continue eastward with the army. The Battle of Shaozhou began.

Newspapers came from all over the place, and Liu Gang first said a strange thing, Zhaogui Helian was originally a land of northerners, and they would not go south again if they got it.

Didn't Zhao Kuangyin send an envoy from the Southern Tang Dynasty to ask for a state, we sent six or seven states to you, what else? But soon he came to his senses again, and quickly gathered an army of 200,000 men. Almost all the middle-aged men in the southeast area were gathered together.

It's intimidating in numbers.

The Southern Han also had a secret weapon, and that was the elephant.

The Southern Han produced elephants, and purchased some war elephants from Dali and Anli, and hired barbarians to teach the Southern Han army to train and control war elephants. At this time, there were a total of 1,000 war elephants in the Southern Han Dynasty, and they were heavily armored war elephants in the true sense.

The elephant is surrounded by heavy armor, and the elephant's body has the worst defense of the whole thick belly armor. The elephant's head also has face armor, and the elephant's trunk is also equipped with chain mail. And the ivory was covered with a sharp steel spear five feet long. To the north of the elephant is a tower made of thick wooden planks, and the building is divided into three floors. The first level is the riders, and the second is four to six archers. The third layer is the lookouts.

With the war elephant as the core, there are broadsword soldiers, spearmen, shield soldiers, and archers on all sides.

If it is said to be good-looking, what kind of cavalry is also gray in front of it. But the combat effectiveness is as ...... Only tested on the battlefield. 1,000 war elephants, and let Li Chengwu lead an army of 100,000 to Shaozhou. The two armies met in the plain under the Lotus Peak. Li Chengwu immediately threw out the strongest troops, and the elephant soldiers charged. A thousand war elephants with countless Han soldiers like the Song army pounced.

Song Jiu didn't see it, and when he saw it, he would definitely exclaim, what magic blockbuster was not as shocking as the scene of the day.

Pan Mei had known this information for a long time, but when she saw it with her own eyes, she still felt a little numb, and she still had to fight, so she asked her subordinates to set up a rejection first. It is estimated that this will not have much effect, as soon as the war elephants came in front, they did not reject the horses, but all became slag of wood.

But if you can block it for a while, then let all the archers stand in front of you, and there is no strategy, that is, shoot me, don't shoot people, shoot elephants. Ten thousand arrows were fired at once, especially at this time, the Song army still had some ambush crossbows. All of them are small, and at the expense of range, they are flexible and maneuverable. Still slow or clumsy, and the target is not precise. But there is no problem with the elephant, how big of a goal is that? Moreover, the power of these crossbows is far stronger than that of ordinary bows and arrows, and it is not good to be protected by armor, and a large crossbow still burrows into the armor and pierces the elephant.

Elephants are also high-IQ animals, and they are not stupid, although even a giant crossbow can't shoot them, but it hurts. I stopped striking, so I turned around and rushed towards the Southern Han army. The riders were thrown down by them one by one and began to trample on the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty.

Originally, Pan Mei fought this battle hard, and the great changes in front of him also made him dumbfounded. However, he quickly sobered up and shouted, "Rush." ”

There are a thousand huge tanks in front of the road, and they do not rush and wait for when.

In one battle, 100,000 Southern Han soldiers were annihilated.

When it comes to this, it's time to rest, Pan Mei took Shaozhou, captured his assassin Shi Xin Yanwu and counseled the doctor Zou Wenyuan. As for the coach Lee Seung-wo, God knows where he is, maybe he will let the war elephants step into mud sooner. Then let Xin Yanwu bring a word to Liu Gang and let Liu Gang surrender.

When Song Jiu came to Shaozhou, Pan Mei did not wait for the news of Liu Gang's surrender, but heard a piece of information that she started to build the Great Wall from Maji Mountain in the north of Guangzhou, and continued to build it to the palace of Panyu Xingwang. When Song Jiu heard the news, he was stunned on the spot.

This is the Great Wall of more than 100 miles, and the Song army is coming to the city quickly, what kind of speed can it be repaired in this short time?

No one took this two hundred and five as a thing, and the scribe Zheng Zhao said: "Congratulations to General Pan, for your achievements in destroying the country." ”

Not only is it the merit of destroying the country, but also this line of work is very good, including the battle of Lotus Peak, the Han soldiers died a lot, most of them were trampled to death by war elephants, the Song army did not kill much, and most of the Han soldiers surrendered, and then sent the people to absorb them.

That's why Zheng Zhao said this.

Song Jiu didn't make a sound, it's not good, if Yang Ye is killed, the old father-in-law is still Pan Renmei. The future is very far away, I don't want to think about it for the time being, Song Jiu looked at the south again, and he couldn't go for the time being, the Song army tossed and turned from Hezhou to Lianzhou, and then rushed from Lianzhou to Shaozhou, and there were many mountain roads, and they had to wait for logistics supplies. Then march into Yingzhou, from Yingzhou to Guangzhou. Not surprisingly, soon the Southern Han Dynasty will be destroyed. Therefore, Song Jiu was thinking about Liu Gang's little JJ, Zhao Kuangyin asked him to kick, he could kick, but he could only kick gently...... (To be continued......)
