Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 554 Southern Tang Strategy
"Hu Guang, I'm your elder brother! You want to kill your elder brother, are you still human?"

Hutai was like a chubby groundhog. He tried his best to shake his body, trying to get rid of the control of the soldiers around him, and kept shouting.

Ten seconds ago, Hutai was still rejoicing that he saved his life and even his wealth again, but at this moment, it was suddenly shattered.

After Yehu stabbed the couple to commit suicide by taking poison, Huguang only grieved for a while, then suddenly found Hutai and asked him to call all the officers above the Marquis Yu of the Wuning Army to the office.

Then, there was no more after that. Hu Guang didn't want a single guard, didn't take a knife, and directly persuaded more than [-] important officers of the Wuning Army.

As Hu Ci Le's old wife judged, Wu Ning's army didn't have the heart to stick with Hu Ci Le at all, because they didn't have to.

Hucile had to defend to the death, it was because he had betrayed Emperor Shaoming, but Wu Ning's army had never betrayed him!

Before Zhang Zhao entered the Central Plains, they were not Zhang Zhao's subordinates at all, so there was no betrayal.

It was even because the Wu Ning army did not seek refuge with Khitan by the Hutuo River, nor did they go to worship Yelu Deguang. Not only were they not traitors, but they also had a semblance of loyalty.

When Hu Guang saw these military academies, he didn't need to say anything, he just said one sentence.

"Wu Ning's army was originally a soldier of the imperial court. They fought against Khitan in the north. They are loyal! If they don't serve Khitan, they are righteous! With loyalty, how can they serve the mediocre lord of Southern Wu?"

Before Hu Guang returned to Zhang Zhao's side, he was the envoy of Wu Ning Army's yamen, and he was regarded as the No. [-] young and promising star in the Later Jin Dynasty at that time, so all the officers and men of Wu Ning Army respected him.

At the moment, only one infantry commander asked worriedly, "Can the emperor really pardon all of us?"

The tiger thorn was thrown into the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Commander also participated in it, so he was very afraid that a senior official of his status would not be pardoned.

Hu Guang nodded affirmatively, "I can't talk about pardon or not, because you were not the saint's courtiers before, and you never received the saint's salary. Reward."

The commander thought about it, it is indeed so!Moreover, the military strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty is too rubbish, there is no reason to continue to follow along.

Therefore, without using a knife or gun at all, Hu Guang, who forcibly suppressed the pain, directly surrendered thousands of Wuning troops.

Apart from Hu Guang losing his parents, this is simply a happy situation for all.

Hu Tai was also overjoyed at the side. Although he betrayed Zhang Zhao, but now he helped Hu Guang talk about surrendering the Wuning Army and dedicating Xuzhou City. He has made great contributions, not to mention rewards, at least the merits and demerits can be offset up.

However, after the Wuning army agreed to surrender, the first thing Huguang did was to have Hutai tied up.

And he was not tied up by the Wuning Army, but by the tiger thorn and tooth soldiers who also came from Liangzhou.

There were a total of 700 people in the six Xiaoqi who were ordered from Hexi to the Central Plains. Dozens of people followed Huguang back, and hundreds of people ran back one after another.

In a few years, 67 people died in the battle, and there were fifty or sixty people who were too injured to continue fighting. The remaining more than [-] people became tiger thorns.

Hu Guang didn't even look at Hu Tai, but said to the other soldiers who were sweating profusely: "Hu Tai is the No. 1 one who proposed to vote for the Southern Tang Dynasty. If he doesn't die, how can the Great Mercy Dharma King forgive you?"

This time, the tooth soldiers finally didn't hesitate anymore, they all stepped forward and personally tied up the fat Hutai so that he couldn't struggle.

Hu Guang couldn't help it either, the four hundred tooth soldiers were Hu Cile's accomplices, they didn't succeed enough, and they definitely failed.

And he also knew in his heart that more than [-] people, in detail, is not a crime that must be killed.

There is a high probability that Zhang Zhao just exiled them, so he might as well ask for stability and give a verbal reassurance first.

Seeing that the tooth soldiers were starting to get serious, Hu Tai lost all support in his heart. He prostrated himself on the ground and burst into tears.

"Erlang, Erlang, why don't you let a certain horse go? I'll give you all the family property, and I just want to keep my name and keep my life!"

"I don't want your illegal money, so don't struggle. In the past, you, Hutai, worked hard to trick my lord into going to the Southern Tang Dynasty. Now you have taken the lives of my parents. Do you still want to live?"

When Hu Tai heard this, he understood that there was no way out, his eyes instantly turned vicious, and he looked at Hu Guang.

"You don't want to put the shit pot on a certain family's head. It wasn't me, Hutai, but your brother Huwei who worked the hardest back then. If you have the ability, you can kill him too!"

Hu Guang's eyes were red, he knelt down and grabbed Hu Tai's bound right arm.

"You're dead! Huwei is no exception. He is a dutiful son, Hu Dalang, he must really want to go down to accompany his parents, and someone will send him down soon."

The flame in Hu Tai's eyes was extinguished, he looked at Hu Guang with distorted face, and gave up the last struggle.

He won't let go of even his own brother, so naturally he won't let go of his cousin, he bowed his head for a while before Hutai said in a low voice.

"A certain family property is divided into three shares. The elder brother, the second brother and the younger mother share one share. Your sister-in-law is weak, so please help me to keep an eye on it. Don't let people take all the property."

Hu Guang turned his back, nodded slightly, and then tried his best to suppress the emotional fluctuations in his heart, and said lightly.

"After a while, let's go on the road! I will tell the saint that you are shameless to see him again and choose to commit suicide.

In this way, the eldest brother and the second brother will not be laughed at in the future, and the young lady can marry a good husband. "

After Hutai listened, he didn't speak anymore, just sobbed softly behind him.

. . . .

Zhang Zhao was very excited when he went to Xuzhou without bloodshed. He was right about Hu Guang. This kid has both loyalty and filial piety, and he is a material for great things.

But Zhang Zhao thought that he could persuade Hucile to offer the city, and even planned to arrange Hucile to be placed under house arrest in Luoyang, but he did not expect that things would be so tragic.

Seeing that Hu Guang lost his parents in an instant, Zhang Zhao couldn't express how happy he was.

After thinking about it briefly, he governed the country with loyalty, benevolence, filial piety, and Hucile betrayed him continuously. He must not be rewarded, but Hucile's old wife can still be rewarded.

Zhang Zhao immediately issued a decree to posthumously confer the title of Hucile's old wife as Mrs. Tai of Shache County, posthumously titled Zhen, and bestowed the title of Zhenhui Mingci Dajue Consummated and Good Woman, and named Shache Bo, who Huguang deserved, as a concubine. Shachehou.

In response to Huguang's plea, the 400 people who followed Hucile were pardoned. Zhang Zhao deprived them of all their privileges in Liangzhou, such as land grants, and their Liangzhou household registration.

After they were ordered to return to the Central Plains, Zhang Zhao gave them the salary, so that these people were not Zhang Zhao's generals, and naturally they had nothing to betray.

Of course, this is just a step for both parties to come down. Everyone knows that this is a special gift from Zhang Zhao for Hu Guang's sake.

After recovering Xuzhou, it is the next strategy.

So far, the Jiedushi of the National Defense Army and Zhao Kuangzan, who stayed behind in the Hezhong Mansion, have not given an alarm. This means that Liu Zhiyuan did not go down the Yellow River and Fen River from Luliang Mountain in the west.

Cao Yanming, the construction envoy of the god capital in Luoyang, did not send an alarm, so it seems that he has taken refuge in Liu Zhiyuan, the Luzhou Zhaoyi Army Jiedu envoy, and has not yet had the guts to harass Luoyang.

The most important thing is that there is no alarm from Yan Jin, the Duke of Jin who is guarding Baimajin in Huazhou.

Reminiscent of April, the sowing of spring wheat and corn has reached the most critical moment, and April is also a good time for livestock reproduction.

It seemed that Liu Zhiyuan didn't have the guts to go south and cross the Yellow River to fight him.

Then, taking this opportunity, Zhang Zhao can also deal with Nantang severely.

But for now, Zhang Zhao has not eliminated the strength of Southern Tang. Wang Yisi estimated that if the Southern Tang is mobilized all over the country, it will still be able to mobilize an army of [-] to [-] or even more than [-].

At this time, the people in Huainan and Jiangnan had not been harmed by corrupt officials such as the five ghosts favored by Li Jing. Most people were still grateful for Li Min's kindness, and they still thought of the court in their hearts.

Moreover, fighting in the homeland to defend the country is completely different from fighting abroad. It is possible to increase the morale and combat effectiveness of soldiers by [-] to [-]%.

Moreover, Zhang Zhao himself was quite imaginary at the moment. It looked like there were nearly [-] troops, but it was almost like he had poured out the country. The defense at home was very empty. If there was any trouble in Hedong, he had to rush back.

What's more, although the disaster situation in the Central Plains has eased at this time, after being ravaged by the natural and man-made disasters of the later Jin court and the Khitans, the population of Henan has dropped from more than 4 million to an estimated less than [-] million. It should be worse.

What is most needed now is to recuperate, appease the hearts of the people, and then drive Liu Zhiyuan out of Hebei, and even restrain the Khitan people from going south.

Well, the Khitans are still going south, but they dare not attack. Instead, they take advantage of the chaos and keep attacking Caogu on the border. They must fight hard again to scare them.

So for Nan Tang, the best way is to extort a large sum of money and food after beating him up.

After Hebei was stabilized and Liu Zhiyuan was forced to Taiyuan to become a slightly larger Northern Han, he would come to Jiangnan.

Before that, training Nantang into a blood pack is the best strategy at present.

But this strategic goal is not easy to achieve. Historically, Sejong was able to send aid in Shouzhou Weidian last week because he had no worries and the situation in the Central Plains was relatively stable.

However, Zhang Zhao didn't have the time and energy to surround Shouzhou for a few months, and slowly wear down Nantang with fear, just wanting to survive.

Then, he had to take some risks with regard to Nan Tang's strategy. He had to think of a quick and quick method that could scare Nan Tang out of his wits.
