Han Shizu

Chapter 803 Zhao Dushuai

The camps of the Shu army, regardless of the layout of the military defense, are well built, with neat and clean barracks, various buildings, and good scenery, which can be described as "livable".

With the arrival of the follow-up boat division, Songmu Village was completely brought under control, and no disturbances were likely to occur. The prisoners of the Shu army were honest and did not dare to look sideways in the face of the mighty Wuhan army coming for reinforcements.

Wei Lin arranged people, counted and seized, cleaned the battlefield, accepted prisoners, arranged for defense, repaired the water village, and prepared to meet the follow-up army, so busy that he never touched the ground.It kind of means that Zhang Yanqing is fighting in front and he is defending in the back.

When Zhao Kuangyin saw Zhang Yanqing again, the veteran was shirtless, and the medical officers accompanying the army were healing him.The blood-stained arrow cluster was put aside, and the medicine was applied, and the doctor bandaged it with skilled skills and techniques.A Shu army military academy stood in front of him, and Zhang Yanqing listened to what he was describing.

Seeing Zhao Kuangyin stepping in, Zhang Yanqing immediately stood up and wanted to salute, saying: "The commander-in-chief has arrived, but I'm not ready to welcome you, please forgive me!"

Seeing that his movements were a little stiff, Zhao Kuangyin quickly reached out his hand to stop him, with a humble and friendly expression: "You don't need to be polite, general! This achievement not only broke the Shu army's navy, opened up the river channel, but also took the pine village in one fell swoop. It is this commander who should salute the general and thank him!"

"You are handsome and polite! How dare you be the last general?" Zhang Yanqing smiled slightly.

"How's the injury?" Zhao Kuangyin asked concerned when he saw that he was covered in bandages.

"It doesn't matter, I only hit a first-rate arrow and didn't hurt the vitals, just rest and recuperate for a while!" Zhang Yanqing said.

Zhao Kuangyin liked it more and more, and said with emotion: "The general, with less than a thousand exhausted soldiers, chased death and chased the north, quickly descended to the stronghold, judged and grasped the fighter's opportunity, and fought tenaciously, all of which showed the courage and heroism of a good general. ! Report it to Tokyo to promote its reputation!"

"Thank you, Du Shuai!" Zhang Yanqing was not hypocritical.

As he said that, Zhao Kuangyin said again: "I took a look in the stronghold, and it can be called difficult and dangerous. Many soldiers under your command are exhausted and there are many wounded, it must be very hard to attack the stronghold!"

Mentioning this, Zhang Yanqing also sighed: "More than [-] soldiers were killed in the battle. The sacrifice is not small. Counting the losses in the water battle, [-] soldiers, half the casualties!"

"They are all loyal and brave men of the Han Dynasty. Their sacrifices are worthwhile. According to Wei Lin's rough estimate, about [-] enemies were wiped out in water and land battles, and countless were captured! All soldiers who participated in this battle will receive The imperial court's commendation and award, your spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice and forging ahead bravely, will be commended and spread, and be admired by others!" Zhao Kuangyin made a promise.

"The last general to serve under his command, Xie Dushuai!"

Noticing the small prisoner who was standing cautiously aside like a quail, Zhao Kuangyin said, "The general seems to be asking what?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yanqing immediately regained his spirit and explained a lot: "What I have observed is only the situation of the Shu villages in Sanhui and Wushan. Although there are many villages established by the Shu army, these two villages are the most important for the rest.

Wushanzhai is based on the dangerous part of Wu Gorge. If you want to pass Wu Gorge smoothly, you must take it to avoid future troubles.Sanhui Village is located in the northwest of Songmu Village, with a distance of about [-] miles from the stream. It is the cover behind Wushan Village. There are [-] troops stationed, and one division can be sent to take Sanhui Village first, and then attack Wushan Village from both sides! "

Hearing what he said, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help clapping his hands, and said with a hearty smile: "General Zhang is a really good general, and he agrees with me!"

"Du Shuai, General Zhang Du has made meritorious service, so leave the Sanhui Village to me!" Dang Jin, who entered together, took the initiative to ask for a fight.

"That's exactly what I mean!" Zhao Kuangyin regained his seriousness as he watched Dangjin, and said, "Wait for the army to reach Pinewood and rest overnight. Tomorrow, you will lead three thousand soldiers from your headquarters to take Sanhuizhai under the guidance of the captives. Let me give you three days to clear the way to attack Wushanzhai!"

"It doesn't take three days, I can go down in one day!" Dang Jin said with his head held high.

Zhao Kuangyin's lesson was immediately ushered in: "The terrain here is good for defense but not good for attack. Even if the Shu army's combat power is weak, it can still rely on it. General Zhang moved because of the victory, took advantage of the chaos and was unprepared, and made contributions. So, there are still a lot of casualties. Now that Songmu Village is down, Sanhui Village must be guarded. The soldiers under your command are flesh and blood after all, and your party is not made of steel. If you want to underestimate the enemy, I will replace you!"

After being preached by Zhao Kuangyin, Dang Jin didn't dare to refute, restrained his arrogance, and said solemnly, "You have learned the lesson well. The last general underestimated the enemy. He must keep the teaching in mind and be sympathetic to the soldiers!"

After nodding his head, Zhao Kuangyin looked at Cui Yanjin again, and said, "General Cui, you can lead five thousand Jingnan water and land troops, sail boats and boats back to the west of the river, and force them to the enemy's village. Whether to fight or not will be determined by camera. Wei Lin Lead the navy to cooperate with you, and I will lead the army to support you!"

"Yes!" Cui Yanjin's calm face inevitably showed joy.

He also understood why Zhao Kuangyin called himself to follow him, and there was a little doubt in his eyes. He was not like the friendship between Dang Jin and Zhao Kuangyin, and he still gave himself a chance to make merit by accident.However, even though I am very upset, it does not prevent me from taking on the errand and making meritorious deeds.

"General Zhang, you have been wounded. At that time, you will temporarily command the remaining navy and defend the Chinese army in case of accidents!" Turning around and looking at Zhang Yanqing, Zhao Kuangyin remained amiable.

"Yes!"

"Let's go, let's visit and comfort the injured warriors who attacked the stronghold!" Zhao Kuangyin said again: "After sailing and mooring on the river day and night, it's better to step on the ground and feel more at ease."

I have to talk about talent. Some people are born with a commanding attitude and a mind. Zhao Kuangyin, who has been tempered, is even more outstanding.In a short period of time, only through words and deeds, the morale of the army was subdued, making everyone happy.

There is one thing to say, the emperor Liu Chengyou did not have this kind of ability. He is also a commander. For many years, Liu Chengyou has relied on the suppression of his status, the use of tactics, and the invitation to buy benefits to make everyone surrender.Although there are often acts of being close to the people and the army, Liu Chengyou is actually aloof, and the generals inside and outside are in awe of his painstaking efforts, and the authority he has continuously established after ten years of work.
As night fell, the fleet of the army gradually arrived, and under the dispatch and arrangement of the generals of the army, they were adjusted in an orderly manner and temporarily parked.In the twilight, the boat lights are bright, and they form a continuous piece, like a long dragon, and the newly occupied pine village is the dragon's head.

Standing between the "dragon heads", looking west from the height, Zhao Kuangyin's figure becomes more and more majestic, with the river flowing under his feet and the army flag hunting behind him.After winning the first battle, his eyes were no longer limited to the territory of Kuizhou. His sharp eyes seemed to have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, two thousand miles of prefectures and counties, and landed on the prosperous Jinguan City.

In this attack on Shu, the imperial court positioned the Eastern Route Army as a partial army, but to support the Northern Route Army.However, what is not humane is that Zhao Kuangyin did not really regard himself as a supporting role, willing to serve as a foil.Outlined in his mind, from the west of Kuizhou to the Shu State counties and transportation, an idea lingered in his mind, and a plan took root in his heart.

In late July, the city of Chengdu is already full of autumn. The autumn wind is rustling and the yellow leaves are falling. Since the Han army launched a large-scale attack on Shu, the southwestern city, which was not very peaceful, has been in constant turmoil.

Grain crops on the plains have already begun to be harvested, and the price of grain continues to rise, both because the people are rushing for it, and because most of the grain needs to be transported to the front to support the army in combat.

However, under the strict order of Meng Chang, the lord of Shu, the government issued a report, and the officers and soldiers attacked, arresting and confiscating a large number of hoarding merchants, and the food price finally dropped.

In fact, in terms of food resources alone, there is not so much shortage in central Sichuan, it just needs to be seen in whose hands it is in the hands.Meng Chang's action hit the lawbreakers and released certain grievances in Chengdu, but at the same time, it also offended many officials and businessmen, which gave birth to many leading parties who actively contacted the Northern Han Dynasty
"Is there any battle report ahead?"

For nearly half a month, Meng Chang finally got rid of the wine and beauty, poetry and poetry in the Crystal Palace, and asked about the military situation and politics.

Since Wang Zhaoyuan and Han Baozhen (zheng) went to the north and east separately to preside over the military affairs of the Han Dynasty, it was Ouyang Jiong, the chancellor, who temporarily presided over the Privy Council of Shu.

Ouyang Jiong, a veteran official in Sichuan!What is the master?Write poetry, paint, play the flute!
In the government hall, facing Meng Chang's inquiry, Ouyang Jiong tried his best to comfort him: "Although the Sanquan was lost, fortunately, General Wang Shenchao destroyed the plank road in time and cut off the way for the Han army to go south. Now the plank road is being built, and the daily progress is only two or three miles. After Wang Shumi went north, the governor Zhuguanzhai had soldiers and horses, and there was a danger of overwhelming mountains, which was enough to repel the Han!"

"As for Kuizhou, there is no battle report yet, but Deputy Privy Councilor Han has gathered troops to help the east in advance, so there is no need to worry about the danger of the Three Gorges!"

Hearing Ouyang Jiong's words, Meng Chang subconsciously felt relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured: "I hope Wang Zhaoyuan and Han Baozhen will live up to my expectations!"
