Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

"I didn't expect that the general not only fought bravely, but also liked writing and ink. He really has both civil and military skills!"

Shi Congyun smiled evilly and did not explain to him.

He wasn't interested in this thing, but he was interested in using it to warm the little girl's bed.

.......

Of course, Zan Jurun, the battlefield secretary and supervisor, is very conscientious.

The next day, I made a note for him. After the Fengzhou City was broken, Shi, a pioneer in the northwest camp, ransacked the Fengzhou government office from Yunjincheng.He believes that this is the only way to be impartial and based on the factual record.

.......

After the city of Fengzhou was destroyed, Wang Jing followed the advice given by Shi Congyun and imposed a tax on all households in Fengzhou for a year to reward the three armies. There were also several small-scale bloodshed.

But at the same time ordered the entire army not to break the law to hurt people, loot the people, otherwise it will be punished as a violation of military law.

Order around Fengzhou quickly recovered.

The He-Controlling Army, who had been fighting for several months, stayed in Fengzhou City to rest.

At the same time, the imperial court sent general Han Tong to bring Hujie troops to the front line to support the siege of the city. After Fengxiang's troops joined forces, they continued to advance to attack the remaining Qinzhou, Chengzhou, Jiezhou and other places.

Han Tong and Wang Yanchao had just defeated the Khitan harassment in Hebei, and went to Shandong and other places to build the city wall before returning to the capital and being transferred to the front line.

Guo Rong probably thought that Han Tong was a siege expert and a construction expert, so he couldn't wait to send him to the west and wanted him to attack the rest of the city.

The first meeting with Han Tong that day was not pleasant.

Everyone met in Wang Jing's central army tent. Wang Jing held a banquet to wash away the dust for him. His attitude was cold, his eyes were big, and his face was evil.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he said directly: "Let's not say useless words, where are we going to fight next, the commander has arranged for everyone to do things well."

Shi Congyun wanted to exchange a few words, but there was no chance of him getting close.

Han Tong didn't even look at him, and he didn't say a word, which made him a little angry. How could such a big man ignore him in front of you?

But he just thought in his heart and didn't say anything.

After that, the battle ahead was smoother day by day, and the officials miscalculated. Han Tong came to Guanzhong this time to no avail.

First, on September 23, an order was sent from the front to rush into the camp to report back to Shi Congyun. The Zhou Dynasty army arrived before Chengzhou surrendered.

Later, Jiezhou also learned that Chengzhou offered the city to surrender, and had no intention of holding on to it.

After Fengzhou was lost, the reinforcements who had gone to the inclined valley also fled, and Cheng and Jiazhou no longer had the possibility of holding on, so the surrender was not unexpected.

By September 28, more than a dozen fast horses came from the west one after another throughout the day, bringing more news.

The most important of them is Han Jixun, the military military envoy of Houshu who stayed behind in Qinzhou. He heard that Huanghuagu was defeated. After Fengzhou fell, he was so frightened that he abandoned the city and fled, and fled back to Chengdu on horseback alone overnight.

The one who was left to guard Qinzhou City was the observation judge Zhao Jin.

Zhao Jie was originally an old general of the former Central Plains Dynasty (Later Jin), and later he was forced to surrender because of his unwillingness to obey the Khitan ruler.

(About ten years ago, the king of Khitan led his army southward, entered Daliang, and proclaimed himself emperor in the Central Plains)

Now seeing Hou Zhou, "the generals are all brave and the soldiers are sharp", a forward Shi Congyun killed all the way from Sanguan to Guzhen, the soldiers of the State of Shu will be hard to resist, and there is almost no enemy of unity, so he chooses the city. surrender.

By the beginning of October, five months after the Zhou Army sent troops in May, the four prominent states of Qin, Feng, Cheng, and Chia in the north of the Shu Kingdom had all fallen into the hands of the Zhou Dynasty. Zhou country.

In the next time, Zhou Jun has already begun to take over the four states of Qin, Feng, Cheng, and Chi.

In the long battle of more than five months, the one who made the most contribution and contributed the most was undoubtedly the leader of the pioneers in the northwest of the Zhou Dynasty, Shi Congyun, and his army of controlling cranes.

This battle also made him famous among the Zhou army and the Shu Kingdom to the south, and everyone knew it.

......

Chapter 100, The Opportunity of History

Later, when he took over the affairs of the four states, Congyun did not intervene. He understood that his army of controlling cranes could not stay here for a long time. In the end, these places would need Wang Jing's Fengxiang army to take over the defense.

Wang Jing is Fengxiang Jiedushi, and these places are closest to Fengxiang Town.

Therefore, it would be best for him to simply not intervene, so as to avoid the trouble of another handover when he gets it.

Shi Congyun was actually a little worried in his heart, he was afraid that the emperor would let him stay in Guanzhong for a long time.

I can think of the next fight against Nantang, and his performance on the front line is also remarkable. The officials should not let him go, right?So I felt a lot more at ease.

However, I was somewhat apprehensive.

.......

The government treasury in Wuwei City has already made the control crane army eat a lot.

Moreover, because Wuwei was an important military town, the original northern gateway of Shu Kingdom, in addition to armour, weapons and soldiers, also hoarded about [-] Dendrobium grains.

In the original plan of the Shu Kingdom, these grains were enough for Wuwei's defenders to eat and drink enough to stick to it for two or three years to deal with the threat from the north.

The rulers and ministers of the Shu Kingdom probably had such calculations in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, the Shu army did not hold on for two or three years, let alone two or three years, and all of them were handed over to Shi Congyun.

Therefore, the control crane army sent food from the Wuwei front line, without maintaining a long supply line, saving a lot of manpower and material resources, which is also one of the important reasons why the subsequent battles of Huanghuagu, Tangcang Town and Baijian were so successful.

Even if the officers and men of the control crane army can eat extra meals every day, they can't finish it at all.

They will eventually have to go back to the beams thousands of miles away. Even if there are pack animals, it is the limit for each soldier to bring one or two bags of food on the road. More weight should be reserved for valuable things, such as armor, weapons, cowhide, cattle Ribs, copper and iron utensils, etc.

So they have a lot of surplus grain, about [-] dendrobium.

Shi Congyun discussed with Pan Mei, who had withdrawn from Guzhen on the front line, for one night, and ordered the surplus food in the treasury to be distributed to the surrounding people.

Because the previous siege of Fengzhou City happened in the autumn, the people could not harvest in time. After that, many grains in the fields outside the city were harvested by passing troops, and Wang Jingqiang imposed a tax for one year. Almost one-third of the people had no harvest this year.

If left alone, the next spring could trigger widespread famine.

Bulk grains in Fengzhou are different from those near Taiyuan.Taiyuan could not be attacked, and without a strategic support point, the Zhou army could not occupy the surrounding states and counties.

At that time, food was given to the common people. When the Liao army went south, it was inevitable to go door to door to loot and loot. Instead, it would harm people, and it was equivalent to sending food to the Liao army for nothing.

The situation around Fengzhou is completely different.

The Shu army did not have the combat power of the Khitan Cavalry Corps, and they dared not look north after the battle of Huanghuagu.

There are strategic fulcrums such as Guzhen and Wuwei City, occupying important places such as Chencangdao and Xiegu, and the four states of Qin, Feng, Cheng and Jie will be brought under the rule of Da Zhou in the future.

The Zhou army will be stationed on the garrison, completely taking over, and guarding against the state of Shu in the south. At this time, there is no negative worry about giving the people loose food, and there is no worries.

They couldn't take all the food with them.

This move will also make Shi Congyun and the Konghe Army popular in the places south of Guanzhong and have a good reputation. After all, it is rare that the army does not rob the people these days, not to mention giving the people loose food?

Having the support of peers can even show that this is rare, and it can also gain more people's hearts.

......

However, such a thing requires a large number of people to do it, to cooperate, and it also requires an effective plan.

So after negotiating with Pan Mei and making a decision, the next day Shi Congyun summoned the officers above the capital to gather in front of the tooth tent by the Jialing River to announce the matter.

Most people didn't react at all, just obeyed the orders, and they were used to Yun Ge'er's behavior. Sometimes the killing was decisive, but sometimes it was too womanly, and the soldiers discussed it privately.

The words once reached Brother Yun'er's ears, but he himself didn't care.

Only Dong Zunhui was a little indignant, "We can fight, why should we give them the food we rob."

"You can't take it with you, why are you stingy?" Wang Zhong said.

"Hmph, it's better to throw it into the river..."

"Then it's better to plant it on your grave, so that you can collect a wave every year, and you won't be hungry in the future." Shi Congyun scolded coldly:

"You've been fighting with someone for so long, why haven't you made any progress? We can't be soft on the battlefield, and we shouldn't be ruthless in the battlefield.

If you can't even tell the difference, then you're not a good general, just a murderer.

Emperor Taizong of Tang said that water can carry a boat and capsize it, and the common people are the foundation of our wars. Think about the generals and soldiers in the army, how many of them are from ordinary people?The army's food and grass are not all harvested from the fields of the common people.In the future, if the army does not have the support of the people and becomes a rat crossing the street and everyone shouts and beats, I really can only go to your grave. "

Dong Zunhui was a little unconvinced, "What's so scary about some flat-headed people! We have spears and big swords, what can they do, the big deal is to kill a river of blood, I think everything is good, but they are timid."

"How did you talk to Brother Yun!" Wang Zhong suddenly said dissatisfied, Shao Ji also glared over, Luo Yanhuan and the commanders all looked at him, and their eyes were mostly bad.

Even Pan Mei, who usually has a good personality and doesn't like to argue with others, lost her good looks.

Dong Zunhui suddenly panicked.

Shi Congyun turned back and saw Dong Zunhui lowered his head subconsciously and took a half step back. He was not very angry at Dong Zunhui's contradicting, but felt that Dong Zunhui was very similar to many problem students he encountered before.

Many of them are not so bad, nor as bad as they describe or imagine, but they are too self-respecting, not confident enough, want to express themselves, but do not have too prominent means...

As a result, he always likes to go against others to show his unconventional style.At the same time, too much self-esteem also makes them unable to bear grievances, and it is difficult to accept the accusations of others.

This is probably related to Dong Zunhui's background. After all, his family background was very good since he was a child, and he was considered a child who grew up with honey. Although he encountered some changes later, his childhood must have been smooth.

If he was a heartless person like Wang Zhong, he wouldn't care about other people's pointing and gossip, because compared to his half-life running around and suffering, those farts are nothing.

Dong Zunhui may have realized that he was too excited. He opened his mouth and seemed to want to explain, but he still didn't open his mouth in the end.

"Do you know why we were able to ambush in Huanghua Valley?" Shi Congyun did not reprimand, but changed the subject.

"We have thousands of soldiers, so such a big movement can't be hidden, and the surrounding people are not blind or deaf.

In the same way, there are thousands of people in the Shu army, and their movements cannot be hidden.

There are many villages in the west of Huanghua Valley, and there are people in the mountains who are avoiding the disaster of war. If some people take the initiative to inform the Shu army, our ambush is useless. We can only block Taniguchi and fight them recklessly. I don’t know how many brothers will die. . "

"Fortunately, the common people are on our side, and the Shu army rested for two days in the west of the Yellow Flower Valley, and none of the common people have informed them.

On the contrary, some people came to tell someone a few days ago that there seemed to be a lot of people coming from the west. They went out to collect firewood and saw movement in the mountains.

Why?Because we did not burn, kill and loot, nor did we rush to harvest the food of the people.If the hearts of the people were not on our side, the battle at Huanghuagu would not have been so beautiful. "

Shi Congyun saw that everyone was looking at him, blowing the wind by the river, his heart was up and down for a while, some emotions, and then he said something deeper: "I know that some of you privately feel that certain women are benevolent, and that you should not be soft-hearted.

But this is actually a huge opportunity..."

Shi Congyun organized the language in his mind, and he didn't know how to explain this opportunity to everyone.

"The world today is not the world of Han and Tang Dynasties....

People in the world are their own masters, and there are few people in the world who will give up and think that they are citizens of which country. This is the most difficult time.

Because the people do not have a sense of belonging or identity, the army has no foundation anywhere, it is difficult to last, it will be rejected, and the turmoil in the world will not stop. "

Speaking of this history, Congyun thought of the people near Huanghua Valley. Although they are the people of Shu, the world has changed dynasties too frequently. There must be a large number of people who have no sense of belonging in Shu, so it is difficult for them to support the army of any country. .

But this is both a challenge and an opportunity.

"But this is also the time when it is easiest to win the hearts of the people.

People all over the world do not have a unified sense of identity, nor do they have the deep-rooted family and country thoughts like the Han and Tang dynasties. On the contrary, whoever does well can win the hearts of the people.

People all over the world have their own enclosures, and have experienced wars. After so many years, generations of people have suffered unspeakably.

The world has reached the point where people's minds are settled, and there are peers to set off. As long as we do better and treat the people better, the road ahead will only get better and better, and the battle will get better and better. "

After listening to Dong Zunhui, he was speechless, as if he didn't fully understand, but still nodded.

Although Shi Congyun was younger than them, his prestige was earned, and now everyone was willing to listen to him.

Everyone around them listened. They might not fully understand what it meant, but they remembered the instructions.

Only Pan Mei thoughtfully replied, "Brother Yun is really someone who has the world in mind."

Shi Congyun smiled and didn't say more, just instructed: "Pan Mei will arrange the loose grains, everyone must obey his arrangement, and Dong Zun instructs you to assist Pan Mei."

Dong Zunhui took a step forward and said more directly: "Brother Yun, don't worry, you can do it well, but if you don't understand some truths, it's always right for you to listen to you, it's my fault."

Shi Congyun laughed, "It's okay, it's okay to say it if you have something in your heart.

The key is you, especially your generals, commanders, and my attitude. We can argue more when we have things, and we can still have different dreams in the same bed as husband and wife. Besides, it's not surprising that we, a group of big men, have different ideas when we get together.

The key is attitude. We can say whatever we want here, and it doesn't matter if we argue, a certain person is not a vengeful person.

But there is one point, you can fight whatever you want when discussing matters. As long as a certain order comes down, you must abandon your previous hatred and work together, otherwise I will kill you. "

"Hey, don't worry, although we are rough people, we know the importance." Everyone agreed haha.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you understand me or not, but as long as you work under me, you must remember one thing, at least within the limits of your ability, and it is not harmful to us. Treat the people kindly."

"No!" Everyone agreed in unison.
