Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

On the other side, Xiong Hui, who was holding a stack of information, was carefully searching for the identity information of many military positions such as the governor, deputy governor, patrol inspector, deputy patrol inspector, etc., and made a relationship map of the characters.

Su Xia pointed to the character relationship diagram that Xiong Hui had laid out and said, "Brothers, this is the main commander of the Song Army's encirclement and suppression campaign against us. We all know his name, place of origin, and combat strength for any officer who commands more than 500 people." , hobbies, there is a saying in the art of war, know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles!

The Song Army's long-standing shortcomings were deep. Although they were distinguished by superiority and inferiority, they did not have a strict relationship between leadership and being led, and sometimes they even acted independently. Many of you have served as generals of the Song Army. What do you think of this system? "

Zeng Keda pondered for a while and said from the side: "Military positions, big and small, are brutal when going up. Although there are generals, they don't give orders exclusively. Therefore, I think the [-] troops mobilized in this way are not something to be afraid of!"

Lin Chong looked forward, his eyes sunken deeply, staring at Duan Pengju.

Su Xia then asked: "Coach Lin, what do you think about that part of Pengju?"

Lin Chong stroked his beard and thought for a while.

"The Superintendent of Soldiers and Horses in Suizhou is named Duan Pengju. He is good at wielding a water-swimming dragon iron spear. He is very strict in running the army. He is also the most powerful among the three groups. This person's martial arts is very good. I think, Although Hu Shiwen is not talented, he will naturally be made a vanguard officer, but this person has always been arrogant! This is a taboo in combat."

Su Xia nodded: "Yes, this person has always been arrogant. He uses the iron spear of the Water Dragon and doesn't take anyone seriously. The intelligence shows that he has served as a pioneer officer and will be able to reach Gaoqing in three days." county seat!"

"Sir, how should we respond to the enemy?" Xiong Hui on the side asked.

"Just make good use of the Battle of Shuichuan and re-enact the Battle of Shuichuan for them outside Gaoqing County. We will definitely win against these arrogant soldiers!"

(Note: The Battle of Haoshuichuan occurred in February of the second year of Kangding in the Song Dynasty. A hundred thousand troops from Xixia went south to attack the Song Dynasty. Li Yuanhao adopted the tactics of ambush, encirclement and annihilation. He ambush the main force at the mouth of Haoshuichuan and sent a force to Huaiyuan City to lure the Song army. Go into ambush.

On February [-]th, the Song army advanced to Nalongchuan. The Xixia army pretended to be defeated, luring the Song army to pursue it. The Song army broke away from the baggage and followed lightly in pursuit. dusk. Pursuing to Haoshuichuan, due to the long-distance pursuit, the Song army had already run out of food and grass, was exhausted, and suffered from hunger and thirst. The Xixia army attacked from both sides, and the Song army suffered many casualties)

"Then how to lure the enemy forward?"

"Outside Gaoqing County, when they are separated, we will mobilize our troops tomorrow to kill Zhu Mianli and sacrifice to heaven!"

After Su Xia finished speaking, he began to convey the order: "Zeng Keda, the two generals of Qin and Ming, listen to your orders!"

"The end will be here, the end will be here!"

"Zeng Keda, you lead your troops to deploy in batches and block the attack at all levels. Do not be reluctant to fight after contact with the enemy. Be prepared to collapse at the first touch. Do not waste your troops in a decisive battle with them. Just retreat outside Qingzhou Mansion! Keep losing Sun baggage along the way. , do you obey the order?"

Zeng Keda promised: "The general will obey the order!"

Su Xia nodded and looked at Qin Ming, "General Qin, you lead the Fourth Corps and defend outside Qingzhou Mansion, waiting for work. After General Zeng's Third Corps withdraws, listen to my general and attack again!"

Qin Ming nodded: "The general will understand!"

Su Xia looked at the map and said: "General Lin Chong, please lead the cavalry detachment to attack Duan Pengju's troops in Suizhou with a quick attack, disrupting their position. Remember, don't be reluctant to fight, just be willing to fight." Just let them suffer, scold him, and make them so angry that they chase after General Zeng's Third Corps."

Lin Chong nodded.

On the side, Zhao Wenhui, who had never spoken, looked at all this coldly, his eyes getting redder. Su Xia understood Zhao Wenhui's mentality.

"Sir, what am I here to do?"

"General Zhao, I know that you and Hu Shiwen are enemies, but if you really want to do this task, I have to endure it for three days!"

"Patience for three days?"

"Yes, be patient for three days before you attack again! Your first corps is the foundation of our national defense army. This battle must be fought well. You cannot act or attack without authorization. You must obey my orders in everything. Only in this way can I rest assured. This task is entrusted to you!"

Zhao Wenhui nodded hurriedly: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will obey the general and I am willing to issue a military order!"

"Okay, as General Zhao said, Zhu Wu will deliver the established battle plan to all the generals. Everyone, after getting your own battle plan, you must obey the command in all actions. You must not delay in vain, leave your post without permission, or disobey orders. Military law is ruthless!”

"I obey Jun's orders!"

.......

Inside and outside the Qingzhou Yamen, angry people had already surrounded the Yamen entrance.

Today, Su Xia will execute Zhu Mianli here.

The former Qingzhou Prefecture magistrate and Jingdong East Road transfer envoy Zhu Mianli was so frightened that his legs were shaking!

Su Xia stood on the stage and shouted loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I, Su Xia, am not a rebel, but this Zhu Mianli. Ever since he became the prefect of Qingzhou, you all know what he has done to you! Today, I, Su Xia, issued an order He was executed here because the imperial army was going to attack us, saying that I was levying excessive taxes and expropriating people in the fish and meat township. Who was in the fish and meat township? I was levying excessive taxes and destroying houses. You all know it. Everyone knows it! Today, I will chop down this Zhumianli. His head is used as a sacrifice to heaven!"

The common people looked at all this blankly, not believing that the situation had really changed. After a long time, a word of "good" broke out from the crowd, and in an instant, the common people began to cheer!

"Master Su, I have money, but I was wrong. Please, please let me go!"

Su Xia ignored him and continued to speak loudly on the stage: "An official should be virtuous, honest, fair, and diligent. Since he became the prefect of Qingzhou, this thief has not He understands political affairs, and as a result, there are injustices in prison lawsuits, tax losses, and public resentment. This is a heinous crime! Let him be punished today!"

After Su Xia finished speaking, "Whoever comes, pull him out and kill him!"

The sergeants stepped forward to the cheers of the people.

With a wave of Su Xia's hand, the executioner sharpened his knife. Before he could cut it, Zhu Mianli was tied up and lying on the ground. His body was already convulsing, and there was a sound in his throat. He gnawed the ground with his mouth and took a mouthful of soil. , looking extremely painful.

If I knew this earlier, why bother!

Before the executioner could strike, Zhu Mianli was so frightened that he convulsed violently and even peed!

The person's whole body was bent into a shrimp in pain, and his feet kicked up a pile of floating soil.
