Chapter 60: Conquering Duvowe
On that day, Gao Buer ordered Li Jing to lead an army of 8,000 to attack Du Fuwei, who was gathered in Liuhe County.
Originally, Gao Buer thought that it was a large army, after all, he heard that Du Fuwei also had more than 10,000 people, but Li Jing disagreed, and said: "A group of rabble, 8,000 people are enough, please rest assured, the end will be a battle." ”
If someone else Gao Buer estimated that he would have to think about it for a long time, but out of a personality cult for Li Jing, Gao Buer agreed without hesitation.
I heard that the official army was coming towards Liuhe County. Du Fuwei said to the righteous brother Fugong Shi: "I didn't expect that Sui Ting would have such a strong team in Hangzhou, what should we do?" ”
Fu Gongshi said: "Brother's words are wrong, as far as I know, this army is not an official army, but an army trained by the Chu State Regiment, just like us, it is also formed by displaced people, there is nothing to fear, and we have a strong city to defend, and we also have an advantage in numbers, so he will not return." ”
"That being said, we can't put all our hopes here, after all, this is just a small city, and it won't last for a few days."
"Brother, will you be safe?"
"I think about it this way, one of you and me, lead the men and horses to ambush in the reeds in the river, once the official army comes to attack, we can cooperate with the outside and catch him off guard, what do you think?"
"It's a brilliant plan."
Du Fuwei only praised Fugongshi's clever plan, and did not mention the ambush outside the city, so he knew that he did not want to go out of the city.
After a moment of silence, he said: "Then it is up to my brother to go out of the city to ambush, and the task of defending the city will be handed over to you." ”
When Fu Gongshi heard this, he immediately hugged his fists and said, "Please rest assured, brother, I swear to live and die with the city wall." ”
Du Fuwei glanced at him, nodded, and went to ambush with men and horses overnight.
Li Jing led the army to a position of dozens of miles in Liuhe County, where the rivers crossed, and the reeds abounded, which was a good place to ambush the soldiers. He ordered the advance to be stopped, and asked some displaced people to ask about the situation.
An old man who was not as thin as he was brought to him, and said tremblingly: "Back to Guan Ye's words, the little old man is also a refugee who only fell here today, I don't know what thieves are, and I ask Guan Ye to raise his noble hand and spare his life." ”
Now the homeless people have long avoided this place, and from the old man's wandering eyes, Li Jing has already got the answer he wants. So he ordered the army to move on.
Li Jing's method is very simple, starting from ten miles away from Liuhe County, he ordered people to start firing rockets, burning reeds one by one, and at the same time the army prepared crossbows, and killed people without surrendering.
Where are the 3,000 Du Fuwei troops scattered in the reeds still hiding, holding their heads and running towards Liuhe County, they have a flexible brain and run directly into the mountains and forests, Li Jing did not chase and fight, and hung behind Du Fuwei to advance towards Liuhe County.
Ten miles away in a blink of an eye, Du Fuwei led less than two thousand embarrassed troops to flee to the city dumbfounded, Fu Gongshi actually closed the door and said: "The official army has arrived in the city, I am afraid that the gate will be taken away by the official army, you wait to fight according to the city wall, and it is not too late to enter the city when the official army fades." ”
Du Fu vomited blood angrily, scolded Fu Gongshi for being an ungrateful villain, and had no choice but to lead the remnants of the defeated army to scatter the birds and beasts, just kidding, the officers and soldiers who came this time were actually soldiers, and they were against their own rabble, and they were destroyed in minutes.
However, they underestimated the speed of Li Jing's march, and before they could run into the mountains and forests, they were surrounded by Li Jing's army and had to surrender.
Then Li Jing ordered the army to surround the four gates of Liuhe County, and used thunder rockets to blow up and burn the city gates, and with the help of weapons, the Kung Fu army rushed into the city in half a day.
Fu Gongshi asked people to put themselves outside the city with hanging baskets, ready to run away, but were captured by the ambush soldiers arranged by Li Jing a long time ago, and the battle was successful at a very small price, and he collected five or six thousand soldiers.
Gao Buer asked Li Jing to select the strong ones to enlist in the army, and the others gave them fields and ordered them to cultivate, and at the same time, he also asked Hangzhou Gu Tingshi to organize the people to resume production, and the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes set by the imperial court were strongly abolished by Gao Buer, all in the name of Gaojiazhuang.
Although this move is inappropriate, Gu Tingshi also turns a blind eye, after all, there is hope for survival.
After listening to Li Jing's report, he immediately asked someone to report to the capital, joking, it is true to get the benefits he deserves, how can he fight for the title of general in Li Jing, after all, the commander is not an official official position, and he can't take it.
In the Chinese military tent, Du Fuwei saw the Fu Gong Shi who betrayed him, struggling to find him desperately, Gao Buer asked the sergeant to untie them, the two fought in front of Gao Buer, fists to the flesh, and so the two couldn't move, Gao Buer ordered someone to pull the Fu Gong Shi out and behead him, joking, this kind of anti-bone Gao Buer did not dare to stay.
He entertained Du Fuwei with good wine and food, and when he recovered from his injuries, Gao Buer asked him to take him around Hangzhou to see the situation of the people resuming farming and the government relieving the famine, and Gao Buer did not summon him for more than a month.
On this day, Gao Buer invited him into Gaofu, and when he was drunk, Gao Buer said: "I don't know what General Du's plans are in the future?" ”
"I'm just a reckless, after this period of time, Guogong is really a wise person, and he is also sympathetic to the people, but you are exempt from taxes privately, I am afraid that you will not be seen by Yang Guang in the future."
"Haha, if you don't tell lies in front of the true gods, do you think Da Sui still has a future?"
Hearing this, Du Fuwei immediately knelt on the ground and said: "If the Guogong does not dislike it, the grass people are willing to saddle the front and back of the Guogong for the sake of driving." ”
Gao Buer helped him up and said: "That's good, considering that you gathered a crowd to rebel, in order not to attract the attention of the imperial court too early, I sent you to the northwest, where is our secret military base, how about you go to assist in training?" ”
As a general, not only must you have brains, actual combat is also very important, Du Fuwei as the leader of a righteous army, he just happened to have both, the key is to know the current affairs according to historical records, and good use can become a big help, which is also the reason why Gao Fuji surrendered him.
Du Fuwei heard that Gao Buer said that he was also training outside the gate, his eyes were shining, the power of this gate valve is really chilling, it seems that it is also a good choice to find a strong backer. Immediately expressed his willingness to go.
Gao Buer secretly ordered him to lead 6,000 troops out of the pass to join Zhang Zhongping, and the newly surrendered soldiers were arranged by him to work in various workshops in Gaojiazhuang, and train privately so that they could immediately become an army in wartime, and the other armies were also arranged, and only 2,000 people were left on the surface, and he did not leave so many troops, because he was afraid that Yang Guang's mind would be hot and he would be transferred to attack Goguryeo.
Since Li Jing conquered Liuhe County in the First World War, the relationship between the Red Whisk Girl and Li Jing has skyrocketed, and Gao Fuji is happy to see it. Li Jing was awarded the title of general of the town army because of his merits, and the official position under the sixth rank was jumped from a lieutenant to a general, which was also a guarantee for Gao Fuji, and Yang Guang promoted him exceptionally. and ordered him to continue to follow Gao Fuji.
