1205 Weigh the Pros and Cons
Zhao Shi was not in love with war, and after breaking up this army, he turned around and went in the other direction.
At this time, Wang Dun, who was sitting in Hefei, saw Xizuo and received information from Jiankang.
Wang Dun let out an angry roar, and smashed all the things in the house in a fit of rage, "Sima Rui, shameless and incompetent! ”
Why, why would you rather give Jiangnan to Zhao Hanzhang than take a step back from him and kill Liu Kui, who is telling right and wrong, to calm his anger?
Wang Dun felt that King Langya was extremely stupid, and he couldn't help but resent Wang Dao, he was obviously able to help him in Jiankang, so that the entire Wang family could go further, and he was as partial as a sheep, and would rather help King Langya, who was suspicious of him, than help him.
Wang Dun quickly calmed down after he was angry, and asked Xizuo, "How many people are there in the Zhao family army who crossed the river?" ”
"When the humiliation leaves, there will be 100,000 troops ashore, but about half of the people on the other side have not yet passed, so it is estimated that there will be about 200,000."
As for how much they go up and down, they don't know.
Wang Dun asked people to bring the map, standing in front of the map, his brain automatically replaced the territory belonging to King Langya on the map with the logo of Zhao Hanzhang, thinking about how much chance he could win if he fought according to the original plan, and won Jiankang and Yangzhou.
After thinking about it and overturning one style of play after another, Wang Dun couldn't help but slam his fist on the table, and said in annoyance: "Zu Li, Zu Li, he prevented me from recovering Yangzhou." ”
If there is another person to lead the army, he may still have a chance to fight with Zhao Hanzhang, Zu Ti, his chances of winning have been greatly compressed.
Whether it was in the original history or now, he was very jealous of Zu Ti, and in history, he also waited for Zu Ti to die before he dared to raise an army to rebel, because he knew that after Zu Ti died, no one in the entire Great Jin Dynasty would be his opponent militarily.
But now, Zu Ti is still alive and well, and his power is relatively weak, this time the army is completely to catch ducks on the shelf, and he has to do it.
Although Wang Dun was burned inside, he still said decisively: "Recruit troops, raise grain and grass, let's go south to Guangzhou!" ”
The staff were taken aback, and hurriedly said: "But Yuzhang County is now controlled by Wang Xuan and Dai Yuan, and we are afraid that we will not be able to get by." ”
"Then fight it," Wang Dun said: "Zu Ti's top priority is to take over the Jiankang area and take over the power of King Langya, the action is not so fast, we can transfer at least ten years." ”
He said: "Take Yuzhang within ten years, occupy Guangzhou and fight against the north." ”
Guangzhou, the land of barbarians, although it does not have the Yangtze River like the south of the Yangtze River, but the geographical and cultural environment is more complex, and it is not easy to survive there, and it is even more difficult to rule.
The staff could already think of the challenges that Wang Dun faced after he went to Guangzhou, as well as the confrontation and crusade of several forces.
When Wang Dun saw that their faces were full of apprehension, he knew that they were resisting, so he slowed down his tone and comforted them: "Although Guangzhou is biased, it is a good place, where there are lofty mountains and mountains, which can withstand the attack of the Zhao army. ”
"We only need to hold on for three months, Zhao Hanzhang's national strength is seriously consumed, and the Yellow River is being repaired at this time, we expected that she would not dare to lose the people's strength at this time to send troops, but she sent troops, it must not last long, otherwise the food and grass will not be enough," Wang Dun said: "So we only need to survive three months, spring ploughing is imminent, she has to withdraw the army, at that time, we only need to subdue the slang bureaucrats in Guangzhou." ”
At this time, Guangzhou had a wide area, including southern Hunan, eastern Guizhou and the Liangguang region, with many ethnic minorities, mostly tribal autonomy, among which the court of the ethnic minority with the largest population in Liangguang was called the slang and the bureaucrats, collectively known as the slang bureaucrats.
Among them, the wingmen are the ancestors of the Zhuang and Dong people of the same language family in later generations, they can be very fierce, and now most of them are autonomous, not to mention Wang Dun, that is, Dai Yuan and the appointment of King Langya, he has to use the policy of Huairou when he goes to Guangzhou, otherwise, the slang bureaucrats will not obey his rule.
The staff compared Wang Dun's personality exposed in the past two years, and they all felt that he was afraid that he would not be able to subdue the slang. Those slang officials have a strong personality, they are weak when they are weak, and they are strong when they are strong, if you want Wang Dun to pretend to be a grandson first......
If he could pretend to be a grandson, would he have such trouble with King Langya?
But the thief ship was already on board, and it was difficult to come down again, so they could only take one step at a time, and immediately moved, first catching strong men for military service, and then sending people down to collect grain and grass.
The people in Hefei were suddenly miserable, the grain was forcibly requisitioned, they could still go out to wander and beg, as long as the land was in hand, after half a year, there would be a new harvest, and they could always find a way to live, but people were forcibly requisitioned, that is, there was nothing.
As a result, the people in Hefei cried loudly, some people hid in the mountains in order to avoid military service, and some people simply knocked out their legs in order to avoid military service.
Just when more and more people were choosing to self-harm to avoid military service, the news that Wang Dun had been closed finally circulated among the people, "Zhao Jiajun is here, Zhao Jiajun has arrived in Hefei-"
Wang Dun actually learned in the evening of the day he received the news of Jiankang Xizuo that the army he sent out to attack Zhongli County was picked by the Zhao family's army.
After that, he lost the trace of the Zhao family's army, and when he received it again, they ambushed the team that was collecting grain and grass and military service in Dangtu County.
Grain and grass were robbed, the newly recruited recruits were released, the veterans were beaten and let go, and the leaders were killed.
When the army went out to collect grain, grass and recruits, it was much gentler and did not dare to go too far.
As a result, the Zhao family's army did not arrive, but Zhao Shi's surprise cavalry of 2,000 people won the hearts of the people of Huainan County for Zhao Hanzhang.
The people did not dare to make noise outside, but secretly enshrined Zhao Hanzhang's tablet at home, praying that Zhao's army would quickly recover Huainan County and drive Wang Dun away.
Before he could go to the door to check, the wooden door was kicked open, and three or five soldiers walked in with big knives in hand, and shouted loudly: "I was ordered to ask for grain and grass, and there are six people in your family, and you need to hand over one stone and two buckets of grain, and there is a seventeen-year-old young man who should be enlisted in the army." ”
Because of winter, there was nothing to do in the field, and the family who was at home was suddenly suppressed, and after reacting, they hurriedly explained, "We have already paid the military tax once, and we have used the money to offset the military service......"
"Last time was last time, this time is this time, this is the second conscription tax, hurry up and hand it over, don't let us search for it ourselves!"
The old man almost fell to the ground crying, "There is no more food, the only ones are for the winter, just barely making ends meet, you take it, this is to kill people." ”
The old man stepped forward, handed them both hands, and said, "Otherwise, you will arrest me, and pay some food taxes." ”
"Phew, half of your feet are in the coffin, are you going to fight or die?" The soldiers felt that they were gentle enough, if they had talked so much nonsense before, they would have robbed it as soon as they entered the door, but they didn't know what to do, so they could only do it.
With a sweep of his eyes, a soldier quickly grabbed a young man, "The military service is up to him, and then go get food." ”
