Chapter 19 Pacification of Qinzhou
More than ten days have passed, Yue Feng and the others have actually spent their time in apprehension, and they can only prepare as much as they can. Because success or failure lies in the spy assassin he has cultivated in the past few years. And it also takes some luck, if Tuoba Gui casually sends 5,000 troops to take over Lu Pu, then the East Window incident will inevitably happen.
Finally, the green butterfly rode into the river. Yue Feng didn't wait to gather everyone, but just called Guo Jia and had a secret conversation with Green Butterfly.
Green Butterfly drank two cups of tea before saying, "After many feedbacks, we will finally know." ”
Yue Feng said: "How?"
Green Butterfly said: "Xizhou Murong Chui has insufficient troops and has not marched. However, my spy disguised himself as a fugitive general of the Western Zhou Dynasty, revealing that the military strength of Xizhou was insufficient, and Tuoba Gui seemed to have mobilized troops. The northern Xinjiang Vietnamese telegram received our information and began to accumulate cavalry, which is now only a thousand people, and the equipment is incomplete, and now it is gathering momentum. Only the commanders of the four northern counties were willing to raise troops for independence, and I advised them to wait until the time when Tuoba Guixi was difficult to solve. As for the six southern counties, Tuoba Gui really wanted to be replaced. The two counties in the south of the state and county have all been controlled by Tuoba Gui because of the proximity of the state capital. In one of the four counties to the north of us, the person who was transferred from Tuoba Gui has arrived, but the former county commander seems to have quite an idea, and the people under house arrest Tuoba Gui are under house arrest, and I sent someone to assassinate the county commander, and secretly released the people under house arrest to take charge of this county, which is actually my puppet. In the other two counties, after the people dispatched by Tuoba Gui were killed by us, they have replaced the former county commander. There is also a county, the commander has already established himself, and the people sent by Tuoba Gui cannot enter after we have captured them. There are about 2,000 soldiers in this county, and the commander is a busy man, greedy for money and power, and quite suspicious. No assassination attempts were found. ”
Guo Jia said: "The three counties have been mastered. The current plan is to take three and abandon one, so as not to alarm Tuoba Gui. ”
Yue Feng said: "Yes, that person is idle and greedy for money, and he will scavenge and enjoy." Green Butterfly, find a way to rely on money and power to trade, and enter this county. After we have full control of the remaining three counties, we will wait for an opportunity to take this county. ”
Guo Jia said: "With the number of county governments, the talents available to us are slightly more compact. ”
Yue Feng said: "I want to establish the Ministry of Administration, the Ministry of Military, and the General Staff. Each of the three parts is the upper and lower parts, the upper part is the core person, and the lower part is the middle-level elite. The upper part is responsible for managing, promoting, and training the lower part. The people in the lower part are the talents selected from various places, and the number of reserve generals and officials is controlled to be about twice the number of existing positions. The Ministry of Administration is in charge of silver and money supply, commercial and trade production, and government decrees on the people's livelihood. The military headquarters is in charge of marching and fighting, training and preparing troops, etc. The General Staff is in charge of military armor logistics and conscription in non-war times. In wartime, he was in charge of money, food, baggage, siege troops, etc. ”
Yue Feng said to Guo Jia: "You go and arrange it, and start preparing now." Then order Dian Wei, Zhang Zhiming, and Zhang Feiyun to lead the soldiers of the three counties, and they must all take over. Xiang Yu led the soldiers of the three counties, and Xun Yu led the government affairs of the three counties. ”
Yue Feng continued: "As for the next step, we will wait for Tuoba Gui's movements, Green Butterfly, you still need to work hard." ”
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, Tuoba Gui really gathered the troops of each county, 60,000 male soldiers attacked Xizhou, and after the two counties were harassed and sniped by the cavalry of Xizhou, the soldiers were lost. Yue Feng saw that the time had come, gathered more than 10,000 elite soldiers to the north of Lianke County, and approached the Qinzhou Prefecture, but there were still more than 10,000 defenders in the state capital, the city was high and the walls were thick, and Yue Feng had no choice but to retreat.
And the four northern counties also have two counties independent, Tuoba Gui's backyard caught fire, urgently led 40,000 male soldiers back, and the state capital of more than 10,000 male soldiers totaling 50,000, straight to Yuefeng.
Yue Feng knew that the situation was urgent and summoned Guo Jia to discuss. Guo Jiaxian planned to garrison the troops, although the city was besieged and broken, the whole army was annihilated, but if the town could be successfully defended, less than February, the harsh winter would come, and the wind would gather in the land of eight counties, and it would be able to surpass Tuoba Gui. After listening to Yue Feng, he was noncommittal.
After that, Yue Feng did not adopt Guo Jia's strategy, but exchanged space for time and let six counties in a row. All the money, food, and materials in each county were emptied, and the garrisons were all withdrawn. When he retreated to Lu Pu's river, Tuoba Gui needed to divide his troops and wait, and his troops were only 20,000 left. Tuoba Gui was short of grain and grass, so he was eager to forge ahead, pacified Qinzhou, and directly attacked Lu Pu. More than 10,000 troops crossed the city and did not enter, and the two sides of the army were divided to flank Tuoba Gui. Tuoba Gui's army went to Lu Pu, and after two days of continuous attack, Yue Feng led more than 10,000 soldiers to unite with Lu Pu's defenders and attack and kill together. Tuoba Gui was defeated, and only 5,000 broke through and left, and did not dare to stay, and returned to the state capital.
Yue Feng pursued directly, and when passing through the two counties in the south of the state capital, he conquered the two counties, and then surrounded the four counties in the north and south. Relying on the power of siege equipment, Lianke four counties. Before the harsh winter, Yue Feng took eight more counties, and Tuoba Gui occupied the state capital. The form is the same as it was two months ago, but the strength has been reversed. Yuefeng's troops have reached 40,000, and in addition to the soldiers guarding the towns in each county, there are still 20,000 available. There are only 15,000 available.
Ephemeris 233 Spring. Just after two months of severe winter, the weather was not warm, and the wind swept into the army, reaching 70,000 soldiers. Yue Feng decided to play an empty city plan, and each county drew out empty troops and gathered 60,000 troops to go to the battle. Yuefeng sent Zhang Zhicheng, Zhang Feiyun, and Dian Wei to directly surround the state capital with 30,000 yuan, and did not encircle the state capital, because the state capital has accumulated for many years, and the city has a lot of grain, even if it is attacked with all its strength for half a year, it may not be overcome. Yue Feng and Zhang Zhiming in person, Xiang Yu led 30,000 soldiers to attack the four northern counties, but after a month, the four northern counties were conquered.
Without waiting for Yue Feng to lead the army southward and surround the western part of the state capital, Tuoba Gui led 20,000 troops to raid out. Yue Feng ordered Xiang Yu to lead 20,000 troops to the west to pursue thousands of miles back. After losing a few thousand troops, Tuoba Gui entered the easternmost county of Xizhou that he had conquered before.
Xiang Yu led 20,000 troops to defend the western front of Qinzhou to prevent Tuoba Gui from advancing eastward. Yue Feng urgently dispatched troops, and more than 10,000 troops were transferred to each of the southeast and southeast directions to prevent someone from taking advantage of Qinzhou's initial attack to prevent anyone from taking advantage of Qinzhou's initial attack. And Yue Feng quickly concentrated his core strength in Qinzhou Mansion, and Yue Feng's core strength basically only rested for one hour a day, because everyone knew that having a turbulent Qinzhou was completely different from having a Qinzhou under his own control. Yue Feng was forced to be helpless, and even sent a credible person among the spy assassins to control part of the county.
Thanks to the initial defeat of Xizhou, it did not have much military strength, and Tuoba Gui's military strength was in front of Qinzhou, so Xizhou Murong Chui did not attack. And the soldiers of Hulao, who pursued Zhang Feiyun last time, were burned to death, although Zhuang Sheng transferred troops to make up for it. But there is no intention of getting out of the customs. As for Zhuang Sheng, last year's war had a lot of losses, and he had to defend the three southern states. Yue Feng was caught in the cracks, and he was given a short opportunity to recuperate.
After half a year of recuperation, Qinzhou finally stabilized, and Yuefeng increased the conscription and expanded the army by 100,000. accelerated the expansion of the espionage organization, and also gathered the strength of the whole state to build armor and catapults, and finally firmly controlled the entire Qinzhou.
