Chapter 106: Cessation of War
Liu Chan, Guan Yu and the others hurriedly stepped forward to help the three of them up, and the stench caused by the blood and the lack of cleaning for several days immediately came to their faces, but no one cared at this time.
Instead, these symbolize the exploits of the defenders of Gangneung.
"You have guarded Gangneung with 3,000 men, and so far you have not let it fall into the hands of the enemy, and your hard work is high!" Liu Chan glanced at these good men with torn clothes and wounds, and said loudly, "Lonely to the king of Hanzhong, please reward you, no one will be left behind!" In addition, in my personal name, I will give you 1,000 money, two pieces of cloth, and an urn of wine to express your heart! ”
"Prince Xie!" Everyone was overjoyed, and as soldiers, they only wanted the food to be paid on time and then burned high incense.
As for fighting a war, it is a matter of duty, unless someone has outstanding achievements, otherwise the reward has always been taken by the general.
Then the generals will reward their subordinates, and how much they can get depends on the mood and character of the generals.
It is rare for such a reward to be distributed directly to each individual soldier.
No matter how much they were rewarded, it represented the importance that the crown prince attached to them as ordinary soldiers, which touched their hearts.
What's more, for them ordinary soldiers, this reward is really a lot.
According to 2,000 people, this is 2 million yuan, 4,000 horses of cloth, and 1,000 urns of wine.
Even with Liu Chan's current financial resources, this can be regarded as a hemorrhage, after all, he spent a lot of money on purchasing materials in the early stage, and he had to support the pro-army on weekdays and so on.
But he didn't feel distressed, these people could keep Jiangling, so that the battle of Jingzhou would come to an end, otherwise they would continue to fight with Sun Quan over Nanjun.
At that time, those who attack Gangneung Fortress will become their side.
What these people saved for Lao Liu and himself was countless lives and the living standards of the people of Jingyi Erzhou.
If the army fights for a long time, the people's taxes will not be reduced, and how many people will not be able to live their lives, and finally sell their land at a low price and become the shadow of the powerful clans?
Compared to their role in protecting Gangneung, this reward is really nothing.
Besides, he still has [Rich Life], as well as Sun Quan of the Public Security, and he can knock Lao Liu when he goes back, and money will never be a problem.
"The two organized 3,000 soldiers to defend the city, and now the soldiers and you are both tired to this point, but they have not yet surrendered to the enemy, and they are really good generals of my Han Dynasty." Liu Chan smiled at Zhao Lei and Wang Zuo, "After this war, since the second uncle has promoted the two to the top of the table, Gu Yi should explain the merits of the two to his father, and he will not let you wait for blood." ”
"Prince Xie! Protecting the family and defending the country is all within my share of responsibility, and I have no regrets about dying, and I dare not take credit. The two bowed and thanked each other.
Liu Chan nodded, praised a few more words, and finally looked at Shen Zhong but didn't say much, only grinned and lightly hammered his shoulder: "Good job!" ”
At this time, the smile and demeanor are completely devoid of the solemnity of the prince when he treats others, but he is extremely kind.
Shen Zhong also grinned, all without saying a word.
For Shen Zhong, Liu Chan didn't mention the reward in half a sentence, and even said only three words, but Zhao Lei and Wang Zuo on the side were envious.
This is obviously the treatment that only the prince's henchmen have, with the prince's style, how can he make him suffer?
After that, Liu Chan ordered people to properly settle the defenders of Jiangling, and the army marched into Jiangling to rest and restation.
On the Yangtze River, at this time, the Jingzhou soldiers under the command of Guan Yu took over the warships, these people were also proficient in water warfare, coupled with the low morale of the Wu army, the Wu army actually failed to take advantage of the best water warfare in the short confrontation.
After that, it seems that Zhu Ran had an order, and the warships of the Wu army withdrew one after another, and stopped at the public security to confront the north and south of the Shu army.
Liu Chan and the others did not give the order to continue the pursuit.
Zhuge Liang Opinion +2 (90)
[Zhuge Liang's favorability is 90, governing the army +10×2, political strategy +10×2, strategy +10×2, farming +10×2...... (Some words omitted here)]
【Farming Talent Rises to Talent】
【Craftsman Talent Rises to Talent】
Liu Chan was a little stunned when he looked at the sudden rise in favorability, what happened?
Zhuge Liang arched his hand and smiled: "The prince has advanced and retreated to a certain extent, and he has won the essence of the word war, and he is very relieved." ”
After a little thought, Liu Chan probably understood why this favorability had risen.
The reason should be that he won one after another, but at this time he did not give the order to continue the pursuit.
It is not only the science of deciding when to fight, who to fight, how to fight, and how to respond to winning or losing.
Even when to stop fighting, it is also a science, and it is even no less important than the previous ones.
The poor don't chase, and the rest of the brave chase the poor, these two sentences are from great military strategists, so who is right?
It's all right, it just changes according to the time, place, and enemy.
Some people can fight, make good use of soldiers, and have the courage of ten thousand people, but they will not stop.
Stop when it's time to kill the enemy, and chase and fight when it's time to stop.
The most typical is the overlord Xiang Yu, who has been winning battles and winning all the time, Qin Shi Huang is lying on the board - he can't win, but in the end he lost the world.
When the army marched to Jiangling, Zhuge Liang had ordered people to divide his troops to take small cities such as Maicheng and Jingcheng, and the defenders all surrendered in anticipation.
Now Jingzhou is only short of the public security is still in the hands of Sun Quan, and only this last step is needed to completely drive him out of Jingzhou, but Liu Chan is not in a hurry.
Of course there is no hurry, it shouldn't be him who is in a hurry now.
A large amount of grain and grass brought by the beneficial state army and captured by Lu Xun, and the waterway along the west line of the Yangtze River is unblocked, Liu Chan only needs to rest the army in Jiangling with peace of mind, and wait for the person who is in a hurry to take the initiative to come to him.
Sun Quan, who had not yet received the battle report from the front, did not seem to be in a hurry at this time.
Although he felt that the start was unfavorable, he still had great confidence in the battle of Jingzhou.
Lu Xun is a talent recommended by Lu Meng, and he is also a leader of the Lu family's generation, with an army of 30,000 in the west.
He still has more than 30,000 Jiangdong elites, and Jiangling City will be able to take it in three or five days.
And Guan Yu should be more than 10,000 people, or even less.
The advantage is mine!
War is only a continuation of politics, only one of the means to an end, and every mature leader of power knows this.
Since this battle has such an advantage, Sun Quan naturally has to make some preparations for the post-war arrangements.
Therefore, since he arrived at the public security, he has invited a distinguished guest to a banquet every once in a while.
The same is true today.
Sun Quan occupied Fu Shiren's general's mansion as a place to temporarily live and work.
At this time, braziers are burning all over the house to keep the cold outside, and in the open space in the center of the mat, there are dancers dressed in cool clothes and performing some energetic programs.
Sun Quan couldn't kneel anymore, so he could only sit with his legs stretched out at this time, but this did not prevent him from talking and laughing with distinguished guests.
"Come, Ji Yu, I'll give you a drink. Hehe, please. As he spoke, he gestured with a distant wine cup.
His distinguished guest was the former lord of Yizhou, the current Zhenwei general Liu Zhang.
Since the surrender of Kaesong, his family has moved to live in the police.
Of course, there is absolutely no shortage of daily use, eating and drinking well every day, and his personal freedom is not too restricted, so he naturally has no intention of escaping.
Besides, what if you run away?
So after arriving at the public security, Liu Zhang was extraordinarily peaceful, and even Fu Shiren's surrender this time had nothing to do with him.
"Uh, please, please." Liu Zhang forced his face to be happy and drank alcohol.
He has long lost the capital and mind to compete for the world, and just wants to spend the rest of his life in peace, but he didn't expect that the public security would suddenly be occupied by Jiangdong, and his peaceful life would make waves again.
Sun Quan often entertained him, and he probably could guess the intention, which was nothing more than using him to deal with Liu Bei.
If he can take Jingzhou, he can help him get back Yizhou as a name and continue to send troops to the west, if he succeeds, then he will become Sun Quan's puppet to rule Xichuan.
And whether he wants to or not, he has no capital to negotiate conditions, so he can only echo it every day.
"Ji Yu, it is really shameful that Liu Xuande, as a fellow clan, seized Ru Xichuan. When I take Zigui, I will ask you to move to another place, and I should be the pastor of Yizhou, how about it? ”
Thanks to the "Qing Idle People 2022" boss 500 points, the "Book Friends 20200220164143092" boss 100 points, and the injection of Jihan Armed Group, the two of them will be used to make up for Liu Chan's reward hemorrhage, thank you for your support~
