Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 717 It went too well! (4 more than [-])
"The one who knows the current affairs is called a hero!" Gao Wushi said angrily, and then asked the servant who sent the letter: "Mo Maoqia obviously has a large army outside, and they are not very far away, and he himself has Shenglong City. Persevere, why would you surrender to me so easily under such a situation, has Gao Yu found out the reason for this?"

That family Ding said: "Master, the team has checked, the main reason is that Mo Chao's Southern Expedition Army suffered a big defeat. It is reported that the 5000 troops of Mo Chao's Southern Expedition main force were defeated in Ningping, Qinghua, and lost troops. Of the more than 5000, only about [-] to [-] remnants of the defeated generals fled back to Henan. The assistant king of the Mo Dynasty, Ying Wang Mo Dunrang, urged Mo Maoqia three times a day to get Ruan Juan's [-] people and Mo Yulin's [-] men will be reinforced to him to defend the southern front."

Gao Wushi and Huang Zhiting looked at each other, and they both turned serious, and walked to the map to look at it.

Mo Chao's Southern Expedition Army actually lost, and lost so badly?The loss of more than half of the elite main force was a real injury.

Their situation, if you want to make a rough analogy, is like the defeat in the Songjin Battle of the Ming Army in history.

Of course, Mo Chao is slightly stronger than the battle of Songjin this time, and losing more than half is better than being completely wiped out. Although his spine was also broken, he still left some seeds.

Moreover, no matter what Mo Chao said, there were two famous generals, Ruan Juan and Mo Yulin, especially Ruan Juan, who had a brilliant record before.The combined strength of the two of them still has 4 troops. In fact, this is not a small number.

In other words, even without the soldiers and horses of Shenglong City, Mo Chao could still gather an army of [-] to [-].From Gao Yushi's point of view, if these people can gather together and all follow Ruan Juan's command, there is still a good chance of repelling the Zheng army of the Li Dynasty.

Of course, the premise is that there is no such thing as his high pragmatism.

After understanding the current situation, Gao Yushi himself admired the timing of his dispatch of troops this time. Originally, although Mo Chao was defeated this time, he was actually fully capable of stabilizing the overall situation.

Just like in history, the Mo Dynasty was also defeated this year, and there will be another big defeat in two years, but it was not until ten years later that Zheng Jun finally defeated the main force of the Mo army and forced Mo Dynasty to only a mere Gaoping. lingering under the protection of the

But this time, because of his horizontal thrusts, Mo faced the enemy from the north and the south, and both the north and the south were defeated-not to mention the south, the loss of Lang Son in the north is a big defeat!
Because of the loss of Lang Son, Annan is like a flat river to Daming!
Gao Wushi couldn't help thinking, if he was Mo Maoqia, there seemed to be no other way out in this situation, right?What else can I do besides "recognizing the thief as my father" hugging Daming's father's thigh and crying to myself that I have both loyalty and filial piety?
Following the example of King Zhou, Lutai set himself on fire?
Mo Maoqia's problem seems to be resolved, but the problem now is that he may become a taker - if he takes over Mo Chao's offer, he probably has to start a fight with Zheng Jun who is going north while taking advantage of the victory.

But at this time Huang Zhiting said: "Directly speaking, I think the first priority now is to conquer the Mo Yulin tribe in Taiyuan!"

Gao Wushi suddenly realized that what Huang Zhiting said made sense!

Although Mo Maoqia is already in his hands, Mo Yulin, Ruan Juan and even Mo Dunrang, the three people who actually have soldiers in their hands, have not stated that they obey his orders. What if there is any change in these three people? manage?
For example, do not recognize the "order" issued by Mo Maoqia when he was threatened, or even be more decisive and vote for the Li Dynasty?You must know that surrendering in defeat and surrendering with [-] troops are completely different situations.

If he was defeated and surrendered, Zheng Song would kill if he wanted to;What's more, isn't it good to use this kind of power that can be used well? Why kill it?

Gao Wushi nodded, and said, "That's right, now we have to force Mo Yulin to show his attitude. But... here we have to grasp a certain degree, not only to let Mo Yulin accept our supervision and even reorganization, but also to ensure that we don't will push him back."

This degree is not easy to determine, because this kind of thing not only depends on the overall situation, but also depends on the personality of the other party - what kind of personality does Mo Yulin have?
Gao Pragmatic is not a god, how would he know!

Huang Zhiting's thinking is much more straightforward than Gao Yushi's, probably because the Tusi in South Guangxi and West Guangxi is not as fond of looking for weaknesses in human nature to "solve problems" as political people like Gao Yushi. Her plan is straightforward!

"Continue to encircle Taiyuan, put out all the artillery, blast the city gates and walls on one side, and then send someone to tell him Mo Maoqia's decision, let him dedicate the city to fight the army, and accept the reorganization!" Huang Zhiting said coldly: "We can clearly Tell him that if he accepts the reorganization, we will take him to defeat Zheng Song; if he does not accept...after the city is broken, no one will be left behind!"

Gao Wushi glanced at her in surprise.

Huang Zhiting suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and suddenly lost the coldness just now, lowered her head, and whispered: "I'm just thinking about the overall situation for you..." It turned out that she thought that Gao Wushi felt that she was too cruel.

Gao Wushi laughed suddenly, and said: "I know, I know, what you said makes sense, and you really can't be indecisive at a time like this... There is a way to be kind, but you have taught me a lesson."

Huang Zhiting glanced at him quietly, seeing that he didn't look like a fake, she felt relieved and said, "Then I'll give the order now, let's stop resting, get out of camp early, and rest soon when we get outside Taiyuan City."

Gao Yushi did not object. He knew that one of the advantages of wolf soldiers is that they can walk very well, and it should be said that they can walk very well. This may have been trained by walking on mountain roads since childhood. Now that they have passed Lang Son, the terrain has become flat. In the Red River Plain, it is even more impossible for the wolf soldiers to feel tired from marching.

Maybe even the most tiring thing in the entire army is his high practicality—even if he travels on horseback, even if he usually has a little exercise, but a civil servant is a civil servant, and he is not a genius with both civil and military skills.

The army continued westward, and two days later, it was less than [-] miles east of Taiyuan City. Cen Ling sent someone over, saying that he had arrived at the foot of Taiyuan City, but the reaction of Taiyuan City was very strange. Someone contacted him and said that Thang Long had already contacted Gao Yantai, and the two sides are now friendly forces.

Cen Ling didn't know the authenticity for a while, thinking that Huang Zhiting's side would be here soon, so he didn't launch a tentative attack, and planned to wait for Huang Zhiting to arrive.

Gao Wushi asked Cen Ling's scouts to go back and report to Cen Ling, saying that he had come in person, and we would talk about it after meeting.

The so-called Tanma under Cen Ling actually didn’t even have horses—they produced pony horses in western Guangxi and southern Guangxi, but that kind of horses were good for carrying people and goods, but they were completely unreliable as Tanma, so the so-called Tanma under his command It's all about running.

Not to mention, all of them are long-distance runners. It is estimated that if they can go to the 21st century, they will all be able to participate in world-class marathons.

It took less than half a day to reach the Thirty Li Road.Cen Ling, like Huang Zhiting before him, smiled and led the chieftains and generals to meet the highly pragmatic leader.

He also has gains here, of course Gao Yushi will be rewarded as usual, but he has not fought as fiercely as Huang Zhiting's Lang Son battle along the way, and the Gaoping garrison itself is not as numerous as Lang Son, with a total of more than 1000 heads. and nearly two thousand captives.

Gao Wushi didn't care about this small amount of money, and gave the reward as usual with a wave of his hand.However, because the Battle of Gaoping was not as intense as the Battle of Lang Son, Cen Ling's extra reward for this journey was half that of Huang Zhiting's, only 1 taels, which was also directly sent to Cen Ling by Gao Pragmatic for him to distribute. Just report yourself for approval.

Cen Ling didn't have any objections, but he still joked: "We, the western Guizhou wolf soldiers, won't be able to catch up with the Langshan battle, but if we want to fight the Zheng army of the Li Dynasty next, we must not miss our West Route army." For work, our West Route Army is so poor that we are waiting to be rewarded according to our merits and deeds for a living."

Gao Wushi laughed, and said, "As long as you have solid military exploits, you can be rewarded with silver."

In fact, he knew in his heart that no matter whether it was Huang Zhiting's department or Cen Ling's department, after they captured Mo Chao's city, they would distribute it themselves. Some bonanza was seized.

But high pragmatism doesn't care about these things. The biggest difference between wolf soldiers and the official army is that wolf soldiers don't pay military salaries, and the morale of the expedition is mainly maintained by looting. After all, no matter how strict the chieftain's rules are, they can only maintain military discipline, but not morale.

Besides, Lang Son, Changqing, Gaoping, and Xuanguang that they captured now are not rich places. Even if they grab some floating money, it is estimated that it is limited, and most of them will not be able to get into the eyes of someone Gao.Not to mention that Gao Wushi's main coveted places for Annan are basically on the seaside or some places not far from the seaside. The seizures in the north are left to them.

Now that the two sides met and exchanged the situation, Cen Ling knew that the Southern Expedition was going so smoothly, especially Gao Yu's unit, it was as smooth as listening to Dr. Cha's storytelling.

A few shots were fired casually, and Thang Long City actually surrendered—oh, it should be said that the whole country surrendered.

Cen Ling couldn't help being envious, and said in his heart that I was exhausted. I fought from Gaoping to Tonghua, from Tonghua to Xuanguang, and from Xuanguang to Taiyuan in more than half a month. The battle of Taiyuan should be dominated by me.

Who knew that because of the geographical location, such an outstanding victory as the battle of Lang Son was lost, and then he was surprised by this guy Gao Yu, and Shenglong won the greatest contribution to pacifying Annan. This... can't be tolerated!
Seeing that the battle of Taiyuan might be in vain now, Cen Ling could not wait to kick Mo Maoqia, a good-for-nothing - why the hell can't you hold on until I win Taiyuan?
It's unlucky that a cooked duck can still fly!

Gao Wuzhen didn't have time to take care of Cen Ling's mood right now. He just concentrated all the artillery at the south gate of Taiyuan according to the original plan, and planned to show them a round of fireworks without saying a word...

Unexpectedly, before the cannons were in place, someone from Taiyuan City came out with a white flag, nodded and bowed, and said that he was representing King Dunhou to see Mr. Gao of the Guangxi Inspection and Procuratorate.

Gao Wu said honestly: Who is King Dunhou?Why does this title feel a little funny... Do you still have someone named Honest King?
