Chapter 4 3 6 No regrets
Li Wuchang said: "Brother Wei, let's pick the important ones and talk about them!"
Wei Xin stood up, coughed lightly, and said, "I'll talk about it first, and after that, everyone will add it at will, and finally discuss the solution together."
In order to gain a firm foothold in Fangling and achieve long-term development, impermanence made a promise to the people in the city before the siege, saying that it would not move the people in the city.
Second, the great battle in the city was extremely fierce, although the city did not accumulate corpses and blood flowed into the city, but it was not much better, most of the houses were burned down, and the streets were in shambles, and the aftermath should be dealt with quickly, and the weather was getting hotter, so as not to cause a plague.
Third, we have taken in nearly 2,000 prisoners, and how to deal with them is a big problem, and we must not kill them all in a short period of time, nor can we just let them go, let alone keep them and waste food.
Fourth, that is the issue of troop planning mentioned a long time ago, now that we have won Fangling City, and there are brothers of the Qinghuo Society, we have finally come to the fore, in order to improve combat effectiveness and work efficiency, so this matter must also be put on the agenda, not only in the military aspect, but also in the political aspect, and various responsibilities need to be refined.
Fifth, that is the matter of starting defense, as we all know, although we are united, there is no shortage of money and food, and the soldiers are quite combat-effective, but the number of people is indisputable.
In the end, it is to arrange the entry of our own people into the city......"
Wei Xin said six points in one breath.
Li Wuchang snorted and said, "I want to add it later, the fourth and fifth points that Brother Wei said can be postponed, and now for the other points, let's talk about suggestions...... Well, let's settle the matter of the captives first, I mean to see if we can make good use of these 2,000 people, and we can't keep them for nothing. ”
Before, there were more than 6,000 defenders in Fangling City, close to 7,000, after Li Wuchang killed the north city wall and hung up Lei Daneng's head, many people knelt on the spot and surrendered, and then after a tragic battle in the south of the city, nearly 1,000 people surrendered, Jiang Minglun and Han Dazhi also collected some when they were fighting on the street, adding up to a small 2,000.
Zhai Changping spoke first: "Otherwise, let's persuade the captives to surrender, let those captives become our own people, we are short of people now, although those captives are not elite, but their combat power is not bad, at least their willpower is good, they have been affected so much before, and they have been forced to hold out for so long, and after persuading them to surrender, according to the old rules, they will be directly dispersed to the battalions......"
Cao Hao interjected: "Changping, you also think too beautifully, if they are so easy to turn back, they will definitely not last so long."
Last time, it was right that we easily accepted 500 soldiers from Beidi County in the southwest of Feng Yi, but don't forget, at that time, I sent a letter to He Hou, the Taishou of Beidi, but He Hou was afraid of death, so he didn't say anything, and Lu Xuandong's guy was still playing small tricks, if those 500 people didn't fight back, they would definitely die.
I think that if these 2,000 captives have not reached the point of complete despair, it is unlikely that they will defect to us, and they must have felt that the imperial court will ransom them with money, after all, they are not in the minority. ”
Zhai Changping nodded silently.
What Cao Hao said does make sense.
Chen Lianbao said fiercely: "Then break them one by one, first take out those who have enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, and bring them under your command, as for the others, let's slowly grind with them, wear out their patience, and let them collapse." ”
Wu Xun shook his head and said: "Changping and Lian Leopard's proposal is very good, you can persuade you to surrender, but it shouldn't take too much time, because we are in a hurry, and we have a lot of things to deal with now, who has the time to grind with a group of captives."
If you need troops, it is better to directly recruit some fleeing civilians, and with a little training, you can pull them to the battlefield, even if you can't fight head-on, you can also be a logistics soldier. ”
Zhao Xun said: "If you want me to say, cut the mess quickly!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all looked at Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun continued: "We can directly send a letter to Taishou or Badong Taishou, both of them are Lei Daneng's partners, and now that Lei Daneng is dead, they will never ignore Lei Daneng's soldiers, right?"
If the two Taishou of Yiling Badong have no interest in these captives at all, then we will behead these captives and show them to the public, without any scruples, and we can also frustrate the morale of the imperial court and increase the prestige of our others. ”
Han Dazhi immediately agreed: "Brother Xun'er's idea is very good, we can set the deadline a little shorter, so that the Taishou of Yiling and Badong counties will not have time to report to the higher authorities and add to their blockage!"
You think, if the two county guards send a small army to bring things over to replace people, maybe they will meet some mountain king on the road and destroy them...... Hey, didn't the mountain kings who just left say that they want to communicate with us?
If a large army is sent over, then their rhythm of suppressing thieves at the junction of the three counties will definitely be chaotic, and the situation in the three counties will definitely be even more chaotic, which will be more beneficial to us. ”
The fat bear slapped his thigh and said, "I also agree, this hand can definitely buy time!"
Li Wuchang nodded slightly, and then looked at Wei Xin.
Wei Xindao: "Since impermanence also agrees with Brother Xun'er's statement, then it will be decided, and Xiao Wu will be in charge of the letter, the deadline will be five days, and it will not wait for the expiration date!"
Wu Xun nodded.
Li Wuchang said: "The aftermath of the war in the city is ......"
Lu Desheng said: "Stunned, the collection of weapons and other trophies and the transportation of corpses out of the city for burning can be handled by the army, as for pacifying the people, repairing houses, cleaning the streets and other things, you can hand it over to me and Qianyong to take the lead, just allocate a part of the funds."
Didn't you say it, in the future, Fangling City is our big barracks, and I will treat this city as the former Erzizhuang, I have a little experience in this area, you can rest assured.
In addition, the problem of their own people entering the city is not a big deal, everyone has already packed up before, and they only need to send people to escort and help transport supplies along the way, because there are a lot of materials. ”
Everyone has no opinion on Lu Desheng's self-recommendation, and during the time when Li Wuchang was not in Erzizhuang, Lu Desheng took the lead in dealing with the appropriate size.
Li Wuchang said: "Regarding the matter of entering the city, Brother Wei will personally keep an eye on it, and the fat bear and Lian Leopard will assist." ”
Wei Xin nodded in agreement.
Jiang Minglun, who had been silent, said: "I am stunned, what should I do about the troop strength?
Li Wuchang said: "The planning of the army and the matter of taking over the defense need to be discussed carefully, don't recruit people from the outside first, if there are people in the city who want to join the army, they will be pulled." ”
After a pause, he continued: "By the way, many people have already left the city in order to avoid the siege battle, you can send an announcement to tell them that they can come back now, and if they don't come back, they don't have to force it."
If I were given another chance to choose, I would still do it without the slightest hesitation, and I would be very happy if they wanted to accept my compensation, and if they didn't, I couldn't do anything.
One thing you have to keep in mind is that this city is ours now!"
