I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 203
Most of the rebels surrendered, and Xue Julin, Gu Xianglin, Liu Taiqing and others led more than [-] people and fled south by boat.

Even if the Jiangbei war is over.

On the second day, Fu Jinchuan and Zhao Yuanzhang went to Ruxu Mountain together to pay tribute to the Luzhou Governor Zhao Yi, Luzhou Sima Han Cheng and other Luzhou martyrs.

And accepted more than [-] rebels, most of them can be regarded as elite, which also needs to be properly settled for the officers and soldiers.

After all, there are too many people.

The Battle of Huainan began after the year when the rebels tried to take advantage of the emptiness in Luzhou and Shouzhou to go north. It lasted for two months, [-] rebels died in the battle, more than [-] were killed, more than [-] surrendered, and only [-] remained People crossed south and fled.

The chief culprit, Wu Wang Zhao Deyu, also died in fright, and the officers and soldiers were considered to have won a complete victory.

But in the same way, tens of thousands of soldiers were buried on the battlefield, and tens of thousands of people in Luzhou died under the butcher's knife.

Battle reports were sent to Shangjing and Yangzhou successively, including the news of Wu Ni's death and the fleeing of the bandits to the south.

Eight hundred li was expedited, and he arrived in Shangjing in a few days.

At the end of March, the ice and snow began to melt on the side of Shangjing, and the peach blossoms were in full bloom.The big river in the north also started peach blossom flood.

The spring grass is like silk, a scene full of vitality.

From the Yongding Gate in the south of Shangjing, the documents of Baojie went straight to Daming Palace.Li Fuzhi, Prime Minister of the Left, and Fu Maoxiu, Duke of England, were naturally proclaimed into the palace to share the joy of this great victory with the emperor.

"Most of Wu Ni's main force was wiped out, and he himself died of fright. I think Jiangnan will be pacified within the next year."

After reading the battle report, he was always happy and angry, and a smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of Li Fuzhi, the left minister who was dignified and dignified in front of the courtiers.

Emperor Daojun was even more overjoyed, "Yeah, only a few thousand of the [-] rebel army fled south. If they want to go to Yuezhou and Hongzhou, they can recover within the year. But Wu Ni himself died of fright. It's cheap for him."

The wealth of Jianghuai is very important to the operation of the entire Jin Dynasty.

Now that Huainan is stable, Jiangnan is also just around the corner. This is good news for those who are currently in power.

"Saburo's use of troops this time is also unique. He detoured to Huaibei, caught the rebels by surprise, and then used regular troops to defeat Wu Ni several times. The British Duke really has a good son."

After hearing this, Fu Maoxiu said with a smile: "Sanlang was selected by His Majesty. The battle in Huainan has achieved full merit. Firstly, it is because of His Majesty's knowledge of people, and secondly, because the soldiers fought bloody battles. What credit does he have?"

Zhao Lingyuan also smiled after hearing this: "The third one, is it because you, Aye, teach well?"

Fu Maoxiu shook his head, "This minister dare not take credit for it. Sanlang's art of war was taught by his late father."

"Hahaha, you Fu family, it's interesting. Isn't it because you are afraid that Saburo's contribution will be too great to be rewarded? Then I won't give him an official title this time, how about rewarding him with some money?"

"When the country is in crisis, money should be spared."

Zhao Lingyuan shook his head when he heard it, and sighed: "Then the land property, a lot of land property was confiscated from various Buddhist temples before, and the government and the opposition said that you are a British man who is greedy and despicable, and you are bewitching the king. They listen too."

However, Li Fuzhi raised a different opinion on the sidelines.

"Your Majesty, the battle of Huainan is of great significance. Marquis Wu'an is the chief general in this battle, so he must be awarded. If the chief general does not reward him, how will the remaining generals be rewarded? If he does not reward him, won't the hearts of the heroes be chilled?"

After saying this, Zhao Lingyuan frowned, and after thinking about it, he also felt that it was true.

"It's not as good as Jiawu'an Marquis military general rank one level?"

"Your Majesty can decide for himself."

Zhao Lingyuan smiled and pointed at Li Fuzhi after listening, "You old fox!"

Then Zhao Lingyuan continued to read the battle report, "I remember this Wang Linhuai. He made great achievements in the battle of Lingshou last year. I saw him once. He was really brave and fell into the enemy's battle nine times. He is really the tiger minister of the world."

"This Lei Bo was also selected by San Lang? Eight hundred Luzhou warriors attacked the rebels at night, beheaded thousands of people, threw water and trampled on each other countless times. This Lei Bo is from Luzhou, right? It is the Lei family of Luzhou of?"

"It's Your Majesty, it's the Luzhou Lei family."

"Alright, let's add the title of General Qi Mingwei."

Putting down the battle report, Zhao Lingyuan asked again: "There were tens of thousands of soldiers before and after the surrender. The Crown Prince and Saburo both suggested that they select the surrendered soldiers and reorganize them. They will be used to suppress bandits in Jingchu to redeem their mistakes. What do the two Qing families think? ?”

Li Fuzhi said: "I think it is feasible. Now that the battle between Jianghuai and Huaihe River has become clear, and the situation in Jingchu is more urgent, it is only natural to increase troops. But in the past, we must be cautious when ordering soldiers to surrender. Non-famous generals cannot be controlled. Marquis Wu'an can be ordered to stay in Huainan. Compiled and trained into an army, they are being transferred to Jingchu to listen to them."

Fu Maoxiu said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Zhao Lingyuan immediately understood what Li Fuzhi meant, and he believed that Fu Maoxiu could also understand.

Let Marquis Wu'an stay in Huainan to train the new army.

That's the point.

If Fu Jinchuan stayed in Huainan to deal with the surrender, then the war in the south of the Yangtze River would naturally be handed over to King Qi or Pingbei Hou Mawei, or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would personally lead the army.

The important thing is that now the main force of the rebel army has been almost wiped out, and Wu Ni and Zhao Deyu himself have died. Recovering the counties and counties in the south of the Yangtze River is the ready-made credit for those who are waiting for them.

But Marquis Wu'an was only 21 years old, and his military exploits were already too much to be rewarded.

At this time, let him preside over the recovery of Jiangnan, the credit and reputation, the court would not be able to justify it without a duke.

Fu Maoxiu naturally understood this truth.

Since Wu Ni rebelled, the generals on the court side, Wei Guogong Li Shizhong died of illness in the army without meritorious service, Dingnan Hou Zhang died and the army was defeated, Anzhou governor Guo Kan did not make any achievements, Chu Wang Zhao Huaijiang faced The Red Lotus Army was struggling to support it, and after Pingbei Hou Mawei crossed the river, he could only stabilize the situation in Jiangzhou.

Cheng Jintang, Marquis of Wukang, who was in charge of the war between Jing and Chu, was even more lackluster.

Only Fu Jinchuan, this road is an exciting victory.He successively fought the battle of Hezhou, the battle of breaking red lotus in Luzhou, the attack on quarrying and crossing the river on New Year's Eve, and the soldiers surrounded Jianye.

Although some of the court generals were due to other factors such as the current situation and generals, it is undeniable.Fu Jinchuan, a young military general who is nearly 21 years old, has already demonstrated the world's first-class military skills.

At this time, being too young became an obstacle for him to continue to make contributions.

Whether it was Zhao Lingyuan as the king, Fu Maoxiu as the father, or even Li Fuzhi who admired his youthful bravery as the prime minister of the court, they all thought that this hot young star should be kept in cold storage for a while at this time.

"Okay. So let's do it."

After weighing it, Zhao Lingyuan also felt that doing so would only benefit the court, the Fu family, and Fu Jinchuan himself.

"Just tell Saburo, you don't need a butcher's knife to kill a chicken."

After coming out of Daming Palace, Fu Maoxiu directly thanked Li Fuzhi, "Thank you, Mr. Li, today."

Li Fuzhi turned sideways and said: "The British official is polite, Li is just doing business."

It can be said that in front of the Taoist emperor today, Li Fuzhi said something that Fu Maoxiu was not good at saying.

Even though he is inseparable from the Taoist emperor, there are some things that Fu Maoxiu still wants to avoid suspicion.

For example, regarding the matter of Saburo, he can't speak casually.

Without Li Fuzhi's proposal, Fu Jinchuan must have led the army to recover Jiangnan.

Will not be a second person.

But now that he has gnawed the hard nuts, let someone pick the peaches, and hand over a huge contribution, Fu Maoxiu is much more relaxed.

Historically, the most taboo thing for generals is to make great achievements

There is no seal.
