Chapter 495 A New Pattern
Jia Song Zhuo, the assassin of Liangzhou, stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the scene of the bandits under the command of Xu Minglong, the giant of Liangzhou, fleeing in a hurry, and a wave of helplessness surged in his heart.
Again, once again let the other party run away.
Xu Minglong, Zhao Yuanji, Huang Mao, Dou Zhongyun, Liangzhou's famous giants, do not occupy an area and do not attack the city, only wander to commit crimes, burn, kill and loot, do all kinds of evil, and often leave no chickens and dogs everywhere they go.
Gather the green forest gangsters and desperate refugees to expand the team, and the prestige is growing.
People like them, a few years ago when the snow disaster emerged a lot, Jia Song bloody suppression several times, the sprouts down, and then experienced the Xiongnu invasion, Liangzhou's brutal conscription and tax increase actions annoyed many people, to the resurgence of death, and then intensified.
Xu Minglong and his ilk have a good "foundation", and they are quite brainy, good at demagoguery, and they have escaped the previous purge, and they took the opportunity to become bigger when Liangzhou fully supported Yongzhou, and now, each of the four major Kou has tens of thousands of people.
Lu Yuanyu, the king of Shu, had said about the problems of Liangzhou in the court before, and the giant who committed the crime was one of them, and the other problems were naturally the confrontation at the junction of Fangling, Yiling, and Badong counties, as well as Li Wuchang, who had already occupied the city of Zhuling.
It may not be very difficult to defeat these wandering giants, but it is not easy to completely eliminate them, and it takes patience and time, as Jia Song's encounters in these days fully prove this.
In the past month, Jia Song has led people to run with Xu Minglong all the way, killing many bandits, but he just can't cause fatal damage to Xu Minglong.
If you kill his man in the back, he will collect it in front, and if you rob him of his grain, he will divide his men and go to various small villages and towns to rob it, and if he can't beat you head-on, he will not fight, but will keep running, bypassing several counties, and all of them will form a circle.
Now, Liangzhou still has some troops in a few counties such as Hanchuan, Shu County, Fangling, and Badong, and most of the other counties only have the power to protect themselves.
"My lord, this is not the way to go on!" the staff next to him sighed in a low voice, and his tone was very helpless.
"Alas!"
Jia Song sighed, "Why don't I know? The army is so tight that I can't encircle and suppress the thieves......"
Then he showed a fierce look, and said hatefully: "Xu Minglong's guy is really cunning! If he lets me catch him one day, he will definitely peel off the cramps and then storm the corpse in the wilderness to vent the hatred in his heart." ”
Jia Song debuted with a text, plain and steady, giving people a gentle and elegant impression, rarely speaking foul and cruel, but at this time, he was gritting his teeth and wanting to eat Xu Minglong's fierce appearance, which shows that he is not lightly angry.
"Your Excellency!"
Several guards came together and bowed to Jia Song, their expressions all looking very solemn.
"What's the matter?" asked Jason.
These guards were all sent to observe the situation in Fangling County, and it seemed that there was no good news.
One of the guards pondered for a moment and told the truth: "Something happened to Fangling City, and General Zhang Zhihai had an accident......
"Isn't it a confrontation in the south of the city, what can happen?"
Jia Song's heart was shocked, and he waited for the next with a gloomy face.
The guard continued: "The traitor Lu Xifa made a trick to divide General Zhang's team, and then sent elites to charge and kill, Lu Xifa personally went into battle, resisted General Zhang in the front, and attracted firepower by the way, and his subordinates Wei Xin, Zhao Xun, Yang Su and others led the crowd to intersperse on the flanks and divide the formation.
The gang of mountain kings who had just been collected were in a panic and only cared about fleeing for their lives, bumping around, and inevitably killed each other with the elite under General Zhang's command, and the confrontation turned into a big scuffle.
In the end, the remaining forces of the land thieves in Fangling City poured out of the nest and harvested calmly, General Zhang had no choice but to retreat to the south, and Lu Xifa's elite team was still chasing and killing all the way......"
"What is it?" Before he could finish listening, Jia Song yelled, his face blackened into charcoal.
The staff also changed color at the same time.
The situation a few days ago was quite stable, although Zhang Zhihai couldn't take Fangling City, but he wouldn't be defeated, right?
The guard whispered: "At that time, it was Lu Xifa who personally took action and slaughtered a mountain king named Shi Juncai, and then he also let go, saying that he was grateful for the cooperation of several of the mountain kings, but he didn't name them, and said that he would be rewarded after the plan was successful."
The mountain kings are all in danger, for fear that someone will stab them in the back, and the mountain king named Hou Sifeng is afraid that he will become Lu Xifa's next target, and he will be the first to make trouble and want to run away, and then he will be in chaos......"
Although the guards said it very simply, Jia Song and his staff were all extremely intelligent, and they soon understood the key.
Dare to love those damn mountain kings who have done something bad!
Jia Song made up the picture of Fangling Chengnan and scolded: "Is Zhang Zhihai's head in the water? It's been so long, and a group of mountain kings who only have thousands of rabble under them can't handle it?
The guards did not dare to speak.
The aide asked, "What about the losses of the parties, and where have they gone now?"
The guard explained: "The Mountain King and the bandits have lost most of them, and the remaining few Mountain Kings are leading the remnants to the east, probably because they want to make a detour to Yiling. The elite under General Zhang's command died about 8,000 in battle, and most of the remaining men were wounded. As for how many men Lucifer has lost, there is no specific number yet, but it should not be ......."
The staff sighed: "Obviously, there are 20,000 elite divisions who have fought in Shuofang, and after receiving a group of rabble, their combat strength has decreased instead of increasing. In terms of accepting people, Zhang Zhihai is much worse than Yun Wenbin in Badong!"
Yun Wenbin is the Taishou of Badong, and he has received a lot of bandits before, the most obvious example is Niu An, who has never had any problems, so the staff has this remark, which can be regarded as a feeling.
Jia Song calmed down and said lightly: "Originally, I wanted to support a little manpower to help Zhang Zhihai take back Fangling City in one fell swoop, but now it seems unlikely." ”
The staff said: "It seems that Fangling County will have a new pattern!"
Li Wuchang repelled Zhang Zhihai without hurting his muscles and bones, and even the mountain kings hovering around Fangling City were scattered, and he won a lot of time and space.
He can continue to build defenses, hoard materials, recruit troops, make money, buy people's hearts, etc., and make every effort to consolidate the results of the war, and it will not be long before the northern part of Fangling will be in his hands, and it will be even more difficult to deal with him at that time.
Jia Song asked, "What now?"
The staff thought for a moment and said: "Zhang Zhihai has suffered heavy losses, even if he supports him now, he will not be able to defeat Fangling City in a short period of time, so it is better to let him join forces with Wu Qinglun." ”
Jia Song said: "You mean to solve the problem at the junction of the three counties first?"
The staff nodded.
Jia Song hesitated slightly: "Although Zhang Zhihai has stayed in Liangzhou, but he now belongs to the Taiwei family in the capital, and the King of Shu and the Taiwei are afraid that they will not be able to pee in a pot, can he Zhang Zhihai listen to me?
The staff said seriously: "Now this situation, he has to listen if he doesn't listen, the king of Shu has emphasized that the junction of the three counties is the number one problem, and the adults can send a letter to the king of Shu, and he will go around one or two times, and slightly aggrieved Zhang Zhihai."
In addition, adults should send people to urge Yun Wenbin to cooperate with Wu Qinglun as much as possible, don't just care about his own one-third of an acre, and always want to preserve his strength.
As for Yiling, it belongs to Jingzhou, and your lord can't order Yiling to be too guarded, but my lord, you should have some friendship with Jingzhou Yuan Thorn History, right?"
Jia Song said in a deep voice: "The main recommendation is Wu Qinglun?"
The staff nodded, "The two heads and the three heads can't do things, this is vividly reflected at the junction of the three counties, and one must be pushed out, in the past, there were too many scruples, and neither side refused to bow his head." If it continues like this, Lu Xifa is afraid that he will become the next Zuo Qian. ”
Jason was silent, lost in thought.
