Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 901 Captives and Influence
The war did not drag into the night, and ended perfectly at the end of March.

Jian Kou ran extremely fast, and in the end they led 3000 riders to surrender, which was a big surprise.

The Yiwu army made Wang Chuzhi disappear, and only a thousand of the three thousand soldiers surrendered in the camp.

4000 villagers from the Weibo Tutuan were accidentally isolated in Henan. Half of the troops were lost in the previous attack on the city, and morale was extremely low.There were no major losses this time, and 2000 people surrendered.

The Jin army was the most resistant, and they fought bravely. In the end, they were captured in the early three thousand years.

Most of the 9000 soldiers and horses were wiped out, except for a few who fled, and [-] of them were captured.

Marshal Shao's art of war has become more and more powerful.Well, you have to ask where is the power?Let me tell you quietly, using 5 people to fight 1 people is the most powerful art of war in the world.

The four generals An Fuqian, Mi Zhicheng, Li Siben, and Ma Ke were brought over in disgrace, tied up and tied up.

The heads of He Huaibao, An Fuqing, and An Fushun were placed on the table.

Shao Shude smiled, walked up to Li Siben, and untied the rope with his own hands.

"An Neng treats my nephew like this?" Shao Shude said: "When the two armies fight each other, each is the master. This is the duty of a warrior. In private, uncle can't treat the younger generation harshly. Sit down."

Shao Shude didn't give Li Siben a chance to repent, he waved his hand and ordered.

An Chonghui was also escorted over, and when he saw that his father was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief.But when he saw the heads of his uncle An Fushun and his second uncle An Fuqing, he felt sad again.

The general will inevitably die in battle!The voices and smiles during the expedition are in front of my eyes, alas.

Xuan saw Li Siben sitting on the bed again, his eyes straightened.

Mi Zhicheng sneered, An Fuqian and Ma Ke were silent, not knowing what they were thinking.

Li Siben was a little embarrassed and wanted to say something, but when he met Shao Shude's natural eyes, he swallowed it again.

An Zhonghui glared at him.

Li Siben was a little ashamed, just when he wanted to get up, Li Yixian, the commander of the soldiers, poured him a bowl of tea himself.

Li Siben took it stupidly, and An Chonghui's face became even more angry.

"Is my nephew already married?" Shao Shude asked gently.

Li Siben stood there in a daze, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Shao Shude waited patiently.Judging by the expression on his face, it was full of concern from the elders for the younger generation.

"Back... back to uncle, my nephew is married to the Liu family and has a son and a daughter." Li Siben replied.

"Bah!" Mi Zhicheng spat, his face full of disdain.

Li Yixian walked over and hit him several times with the scabbard until the killer finally calmed down.

"Okay." Shao Shude said happily, "Well, come here, bring me my brocade robe and change it for my nephew."

The wound on Li Si himself had scabbed over, but his clothes were covered in blood, which was indeed dirty.

The soldiers quickly brought the brocade robe, but Li Siben wanted to refuse it, Shao Shude said: "We are all one family. You are my nephew, so a brocade robe is nothing, just put it on."

The tone was full of doubts, Li Siben paused, took it and replaced it by accident.

"If you want to go back to Jinyang, you can leave after eating." Shao Shude said again: "If you want to be a general with uncle, that's fine too. Uncle welcomes you."

Li Siben felt that his brain was not enough, so he could let him go back?

Seeing Li Siben's embarrassment and embarrassment, Shao Shude laughed loudly and said, "Think about it first."

After finishing speaking, he stood up, walked in front of An Fuqian, Mi Zhicheng and others, and said: "I released Shen Xin and Wan Shengjun in Yanchang City in the past, but now I have captured you and others, how can you bear to kill them?"

An Fuqian and the others remained calm and listened silently.

"Are you An Chonghui?" Shao Shude walked up to one person and asked.

An Zhonghui turned his head away and did not answer.

Li Yixian kicked him, An Zhonghui turned his head and glared.

"You can leave now." Shao Shude said: "Go back and tell Brother Yi. I have been alone since I was a child, but this year I am over forty, and I only have one elder brother. In the three hundred states of the Tang Dynasty, I would like to share wealth with my elder brother, but there are always villains. Someone provoked, alas! I wish to repair it now, if Brother Yi agrees, I will release all the prisoners."

"Even the generals Zhenji and Yiding can go home." Shao Shude stood in front of Ma Ke and said, "General Ma, you should also send someone home to report a letter. The family members must be very worried when they are away on an expedition."

Ma Ke's heart moved, and he thanked repeatedly: "King Xia is magnanimous, which is rare in ancient times."

An Fuqian frowned secretly, Shao Shude's heart was indeed too bad, very dark.

Li Siben's idiot had fainted, the prisoners of Yiwu Army and Chengde Army must have been very happy when they heard this.But if he can't go home in the end, it will be the responsibility of King Jin, and Hebei doesn't know how to arrange King Jin at that time.

Wang Rong knows how powerful it is, and he will definitely help suppress this trend, but private rumors are unavoidable, which is very troublesome.

This battle is fought, why is it not the same as before?
On the first day of April, Shao Shude, who had completely wiped out the Jin army, paraded the troops outside Pingyin County. All the leaders of various military groups were present, including the local natives and gentry in Pingyin.

Tens of thousands of soldiers from Tielin, Yicong, and Feilong Army shouted in unison, and the sound shook the whole field.

Zhao Yan and the others had mixed expressions. They were not only grateful for being on the winning side, but also worried about some things that they themselves could not explain clearly.

The miscellaneous warriors were also shocked.Especially the National Defense Army, who were full of complaints before, shut up now.

People are like this, you say so and so is great, he hears it, and feels that way.But if he saw it with his own eyes and realized the gap, it would feel different.

But don't expect to frighten them for a lifetime, it's impossible.The temperament of warriors is just like that, if they really hit the head, so what if they can't beat you?So what if you die?I still want to rebel.

With the power of a million people in a feudal town against the power of tens of millions of people in half the world, can this be done?Theoretically, it can't be done, but I feel upset. If I want to do this, I will fight with you, so what?The worst result is the death of the whole family, what else?

It's good enough to be a shocker for a while, don't ask for too much.

After the military parade, Shao Shude issued a series of adjustments.

The Japanese army escorted the prisoners back to Bianzhou, and escorted a batch of grain and grass supplies by the way.

The national defense army stayed in the area of ​​Pingyin and suppressed the local area.

The Zhongwu Army guarded Changqing and suppressed the place.

The above-mentioned three troops were all disabled and seriously damaged, so they were simply allowed to rest in the rear, serving as garrisons and escorting food and supplies at the same time.

The three armies of Tielin, Yicong, and Feilong marched eastward to Qizhou and joined General Tu.

The iron cavalry returned to Shanzhou and cooperated with Hu Zhen to contain Zhu Jin.

The Holy Army stayed in Puzhou temporarily, waiting for the next order.

Before leaving, Shao Shude met with Li Tangbin again.

He had no embarrassment in "Yue Zu acting as a substitute" for so long, because Li Tangbin might not be able to suppress these troops, even though he was quite dark.

"General Tu, I will lead another area to make the army's morale more stable." Shao Shude said: "The rest of the troops are under your command, first beat Wang Shifan to the ground."

"Your Majesty, why don't you attack Yanzhou first?" Li Tangbin asked, "Yanzhen has fewer soldiers, so it's easier to go down."

"Although there are few soldiers, they are united as one and fight to the end. They are not necessarily easier to fight than the people of Qi." Shao Shude said: "Besides, Dizhou is in danger, so I have to save it."

"Dizhou must be saved?" Li Tangbin asked.

This question is important.Li Tangbin fights, anyone, any city can be estimated, and there is a price.If the price is right, he will sacrifice it without hesitation in exchange for greater benefits.

"You can do what's cheap." Shao Shude said: "Keep it if you can. After all, it's an outpost for attacking Hebei, but it can't be used by thieves to restrain my energy."

"Someone knows." Li Tangbin understood.

******
In Qingzhou City, Zhu Quanzhong was honored as a guest of honor.

Take a closer look, most of his hair is already gray.The beard has not been taken care of for a long time, the bags under the eyes are heavy, and the wrinkles on the forehead are deep. He looks like a weather-beaten old man.

Wang Shifan was a little disappointed in his heart.

What does the all-powerful King Liang look like?Obviously a bad old man.

Zhu Quanzhong seemed unaware, and was still talking freely: "Since the Northern Dynasties, Qingzhou has always been an important town in the eastern border. It also has access to various places by sea. The commander-in-chief of Qi routinely added envoys from Silla and Bohai, and occasionally added land and sea transportation. The envoy. Wang Shuai, according to Qingzhou, should connect Bohai and Khitan in the north, Silla and Japan in the east, and Yan, Huai, Zhejiang, Yue and other towns in the south. In this way, there will be good horses, wealth, and strong soldiers. I have also seen Qingzhou soldiers, they are all good soldiers, but it is a pity that they have not fought for many years, and there is no way to fight."

Wang Shifan came back to his senses, bowed immediately and said, "I'm going to ask Your Highness about this matter."

When Zhu Quanzhong fled, he took more than [-] riders and ran all the way, losing a lot of men.When we crossed the river from Dizhou to Qingzhou, there were less than a thousand entourages.

But these 1000 people are all loyal.Having received great favors from him in the past, running all the way here and there, never leaving him, has proved his loyalty.

Wang Shifan looked at these soldiers and felt that they were quite different from his own soldiers.What's different, I can't tell.But he knew that the Pinglu army had indeed seen less blood, and was clumsy when fighting. Many small tricks, small details, and small tricks of marching and fighting had disappeared in the long years of peace.

Generally speaking, military experience is inherited, and this is what it means to bring the old with the new.But as the years of peace have passed, some inheritance will inevitably be lost.Now to rebuild, it will take time to explore.

These things will not be found in military books, they all depend on the inheritance of the troops, and it would be best if someone can teach them.

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" Zhu Quanzhong smiled, and said: "I have a bitter hatred with Shao thief, and now I have no other ideas, just want to take his head. My nephew, don't worry, even if I eat and live in the camp , but also to bring the Qi army up."

Zhu Quanzhong's words are very sincere.Combined with what happened to him, the 20 army was destroyed, and his wife and daughter were taken over by others. It is quite normal to have this obsession.

Wang Shifan was also very relieved, and said happily: "Please leave everything to Your Highness."

After all, he summoned his confidants and asked him to immediately find land in the city and build a special post for Zhu Quanzhong.Not to mention this, he sent people back to the mansion to let his two concubines clean up, and they will serve King Liang exclusively for the next few days.

As expected of a scholar, I have been hospitable to guests for several weeks!
Zhu Quanzhong was also very satisfied, but he had already thought about how to expand his influence in the Qi army.
