Overlord!

Chapter 83
The reinforcements sent by Wang Sheng were defeated, which dealt a huge blow to the morale of the Wubao defenders.Moreover, the scene of thousands of iron cavalry crushing the mighty trilogy and driving straight in is too shocking, enough to wipe out the courage of most people to fight against it.

Soon Zhou Tai led the elite soldiers to break through Wubao and beheaded all the rebels.

At dusk, Zhang Hong personally reported to Sun Cehui: "General, more than [-] people have been captured in this battle, and more than half of the manpower needed to garrison Yuhang and Qiantang Qiantang has been met."

After talking about the good news, Zhang Hong also said very cautiously: "However, it will take two days for the army to attack the two powerful Wubao. The rebellious and powerful forces in the south are gathering everywhere. If we want to conquer them one by one, I am afraid that it will not only take a long time, but also Casualties were heavy."

Sun Ce nodded solemnly, only to capture these two docks, the army suffered dozens of casualties.To take down Wubao, which is gathered everywhere in the south, the casualties may be nearly ten times higher.That's hundreds of casualties.

Once a certain general misdirects, perhaps the casualties will be nearly a thousand.In this era of backward medical treatment, nearly a thousand people were killed or injured, and the final downsizing is definitely not a small number.

The problem facing the army now is that if they gather together, the casualties may be smaller, but the speed of countering the rebellion will be much slower.

In the case of dividing troops, the increase in casualties is inevitable.

Faced with this dilemma, Sun Ce asked: "Counselor Zigang's military aircraft, how do you think it should be deployed now?"

Zhang Hong bowed his hands solemnly, and said: "Although I am a military counselor, I think that for the current strategy, it is not appropriate to rely on the army if you want to calm the powerful."

"Don't rely on the army? Zi Gang intends to persuade him to surrender?" Sun Ce frowned slightly.

Zhang Hong shook his head immediately, and said solemnly: "If the crime of treason can still be surrendered, what fear do the powerful have? Those who rebel will be punished without pardon!"

This statement is very much in line with Sun Ce's thinking.Although he acknowledged the current powerful manor economy, he never intended to compromise with the powerful landlords.

All rebellious people will be punished according to the canon.There is no room for negotiation.

"What does Zi Gang mean?"

Zhang Hong immediately said: "I think it is not appropriate to rush the army to pacify these Wubao, but to leave it to the famous generals and ministers to plan slowly. The general will lead the main force of the army to rush southward and defeat Wang Sheng and other thieves. The thieves are gone. , the rest of the generation are waiting to be captured. The local county magistrates and generals can deal with it no matter whether they use tactics or troops."

Changing his mind, Sun Ce only felt enlightened.

The reason why he was a little anxious before was nothing more than the fact that the army was marching out, and it was exhausting every day.

But if the army can drive straight in, defeat the main force of the enemy army in one fell swoop and then withdraw to Wu County, and the remaining powerful ones will be slowly managed by a capable minister, the consumption will be greatly reduced.

It's just that which general to choose to supervise the southern counties is really a question that needs serious consideration.

It is necessary to avoid the situation where the army has just defeated the main force of the enemy and returned in triumph, and then the rebellion will revive later, and the situation will deteriorate again.

After looking around, Sun Ce found that the most suitable general under his command was Tai Shici.

First of all, Tai Shici's internal affairs and conspiracies are top-notch in the world.After all, he is known as the wise man in the world, and he has become a famous man with his ingenuity.

Secondly, his command of the army and martial arts are also second to none among Jiangdong generals.In terms of martial arts, when he was in the siege of Beihai, he used to be able to come and go freely among thousands of troops.Shooting skills are even closer to gods, and it is no problem to wear Yang with a hundred steps.

Especially in terms of archery, it can play an unparalleled role in countering rebellion.Basically, he alone can encircle the entire dock with a dozen cavalrymen.

"Hundreds of you are surrounded by me alone, why don't you surrender quickly?" He can definitely say such words.If the rebellious tyrant dared to show his face, he might be shot to death by an arrow, and the whole Wubao surrendered without a fight.A wise man like him is the best at using the method of only punishing the head of the villain and not asking about the serious ones.

In the end, Sun Ce left [-] elite soldiers and [-] cavalry for him in the name of reducing logistical supplies, and brought his troops back to Wu County for reorganization.

Sun Ce smiled and said to Zhang Hong: "Ziyi is a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. I plan to let him supervise the military affairs of the three counties of Yuhang, Qiantang and Fuchun, and then send the captain of Diannong to lead [-] people to farm here, so as to protect Wujun. No worries in the south."

The situation in these three counties is extremely complicated. Not only are the powerful and rebellious, but also Yan Baihu and others occupy the mountain as kings.Closer to Kuaiji County and Danyang County, there are mountains and rivers fleeing, and the enemy troops are harassing.

This is not a situation that Sun Ce can calm down in a short time with his army.

Especially in Fuchun County, the Fuchun Mountains stretch continuously, resulting in the entire Fuchun County being narrow and long, protruding hundreds of miles to the southwest, almost completely isolated from Danyang and Kuaiji by the two geographical conditions of Fuchun Mountain and Zhejiang River. A big county.

To pacify this place, there must be capable ministers who spend a lot of time on management, and there must be a large army to deter.

Sun Ce's current plan is as long as the south can be stabilized.If they don't come out to attack counties and counties, Sun Ce can temporarily tolerate their existence until the grain is harvested and the logistics supplies are sufficient.

With a clear plan, Sun Ce immediately mentioned that the main force of the army was rushing to the southeast. The reason why he mobilized the army and led an army of tens of thousands to quell the rebellion was to crush the rebellion and prevent the war from deteriorating and entering a stalemate.

But when the army entered the rebellious hinterland and wanted to launch a decisive battle quickly in the chaotic situation and defeat Wang Sheng's troops.

Deng Dang, who served as the vanguard, returned from the former army in person, and ran for more than ten miles all the way to Sun Ce to report: "General, thousands of Wang Sheng's troops have surrendered to us. Our troops have already captured Wang's Wubao. .”

"What? Surrendered?" Sun Shizhi was surprised.How dare he surrender?

Deng Dang immediately replied: "General, they have indeed surrendered. According to the captives, it was the thief Wang who ordered them to surrender. The thief Wang rode away alone, but he was nowhere to be found."

Jiang Qin sneered and said: "After a big defeat, he was scared out of his wits? Could it be that he was showing his favor to the general, hoping that the general would let him go, and why should he be wanted in the counties?"

Sun Ce also laughed. If he showed his favor, it would be too late.

But no matter what, Wang Sheng's troops surrendered, and the entire Wu County was completely under Sun Ce's control.

Except for Yan Baihu who is entrenched in Shicheng Mountain and Fuchun Mountain in Fuchun County, no one can threaten Sun Ce's rule.

It took only half a month for the army to completely defeat the main force of the powerful and rebellious. This is definitely a deterrent to the remaining powerful, making them dare not rebel again.

However, it will take some time to conquer the remaining powerful docks one by one.

When Sun Ce's army moved to Yuhang, he officially issued an appointment. Tai Shici served as the governor of the south, and led his troops to continue to calm down the powerful. The main force of the army temporarily stopped in Yuhang to rest and did not continue to go south.

As for the compilation of Tai Shici's trilogy, it went very smoothly. In addition to Tai Shici's cooperation, the soldiers were also very enthusiastic.

There is even a joke circulating in the army.

"Do you want to buy me with money? This is an insult to me!"

"I originally wanted to reprimand him loudly like this, but he gave too much!"

All soldiers who are successfully selected into the army are paid according to their positions.It doesn't matter if you don't get selected, the general will give you [-] mu of fertile land in Wuxi County, and give you three bolts of silk and [-] yuan as a severance fee.

One thousand yuan can buy more than [-] shi of grain, which is definitely enough for a young man to settle down in Jiangdong.

The [-] acres of fertile land made countless people excited, this is fertile land!It is Ueda that can produce ten stones per mu!As long as you work hard, even if half of the land is fallow, it will be no problem to harvest more than a hundred shi of grain next year.

At that time, as soon as the surplus grain is sold, they will be able to start a family and start a business in Jiangdong immediately, and even take in a few more women living in Jiangdong.

In addition to rectifying the army in Yuhang, another important thing for Sun Ce to stay here is to raise funds for the farming of the Diannong Duwei.

Due to the surrender of Wang Sheng's trilogy, basically there are enough people in Yuhang to garrison fields. When Tai Shici wipes out the remaining tyrants, there will be enough people in Qiantang garrison fields.

It is not an easy task to organize 2 people to farm.

The most important thing is how to meet their ration needs before harvesting in the fields.

Although the soldiers in the field are more relaxed than the army, they can eat everywhere, dig wild vegetables in the mountains, and touch mussels in the water, but they still have to consume a certain amount of grain.

Fortunately, the war went well, and the [-] shi of grain that Hongzi sold to Sun Ce had not been consumed, so it could be temporarily used for emergency.

People without thought, he must worry about.Sun Ce planned to talk to Liu You first about whether there is any way to rescue the food emergency.

However, Sun Ce was thinking of summoning Liu You, but his personal guard Jiang Qin walked up to Sun Ce with a happy face, and said: "General, there is news from Madam. Madam has sent someone to contact you, and I will wait outside the room." .”

Sun Ce also immediately beamed with joy. The sudden rebellion by the tyrants seriously hindered the communication between the north and the south of Wu County. He sent Chen Bao to pick up his relatives and return to Wu County, but there has been no news.

Now that there is finally news, it is indeed a happy event.

"Let someone come into the house and explain it in detail."

After a while, chattering voices came from outside the house.Undoubtedly it was Chen Bao, that little fat man.

But the first thing that catches the eye is a scarlet skirt, followed by a tall, heroic figure stepping into the room.

"Brother!"

Hearing this joyful voice, Sun Ce also showed a surprised smile: "Second sister! Why are you here?"

That's right, it was Sun Ce's younger sister, Sun Ning, who came here.

Sun Ce got up with a smile and greeted him.We haven't seen each other for a few years, Sun Ning has already reached the age of Ji, she is only two years younger than Sun Ce, even if she is already eighteen years old.After all, Sun Quan is thirteen now, and he has a third sister above him, who will be graduating this year.

It's just that because of his father's early death, the eldest brother Sun Ce has been fighting abroad, so the two younger sisters are still unmarried.

This age is the most beautiful time in a girl's life. A girl at this age is still bright and dazzling even if she doesn't wear makeup.

Sun Ning is like this, slim and graceful like a blooming peony, with a warm heart and a romantic nature.

She smiled and said, "My mother asked me to come here, and asked if my brother could go to Qiantang."

"Ask me to Qiantang? But what happened?"

At this time, Chen Bao poked his head out from behind Sun Ning: "Brother-in-law, I'm here. What can happen! I'll take care of things, don't worry."

Sun Ce smiled and said, "It's good that it's okay. Didn't I ask you to bring Sister Ni and the others to Wu County? Why are you still staying in Qiantang?"

Chen Bao complained: "I originally planned to take my sister and the others directly to Wu County, but it took a while to prepare food and luggage for thousands of people. As soon as I arrived in Yuhang, I heard that the Haoqiang rebelled. I originally planned to move on Yes, this woman disagreed and beat me up."

Hmm~ It's like something my second sister would do.

Her personality is actually very similar to her predecessor. When she smiles, she makes people feel refreshed, but when she is serious, she is also very fiery and decisive.

Of course, it's normal to look like it, and it's weird not to look like it.After all, she has been following Sun Ce since she was a child, and she has been influenced by her ears and eyes, and her behavior will inevitably be affected.

Sun Ce looked at Chen Bao with a smile, and asked, "You gave in after being beaten?"

"Is it okay if you don't give in?" Chen Bao said annoyedly, "If I don't let her, I'm afraid she will bring a dozen or so people into my tent in the middle of the night and tie me up while I'm sleeping."

Sun Ning straightened his chest, and said righteously: "If I hadn't tried my best to stop you, you would have run into Wanhaoqiang's ambush? As soon as we returned to Qiantang County, more than [-] powerful men came after us. If not My uncle's family is a big family in Qiantang, and we join forces, and the three tribes join forces to resist, and you are afraid that you will be captured in an ambush."

Chen Bao put his hips on his hips and refused to give in: "Nonsense! It's just a group of tyrants, who were defeated by us. If I had continued to move forward, I would have been able to lead the crowd to kill a bloody road with a spear and a leaping horse. Maybe it's already Settled down in Wu County."

The young people must be unwilling to obey anyone, and if they continue to argue, they may have endless quarrels.

Sun Ce interrupted them both with a smile, and said to Sun Ning, "Okay, you've already won once, let Xiaobao win this time. Tell me, why mother wants me to go to Qiantang."

After all, Sun Ning is only eighteen, and still has the romance of a girl. He snorted softly: "For my brother's sake, I won't argue with him. He is right."

"What do you mean I'm right? I'm right!" Chen Bao was a little annoyed.

Sun Ning ignored him directly, and said to Sun Ce: "Mother didn't say anything, but I guess it might be to reconcile the hatred between my brother and Wang Sheng."

Sun Ce's eyes flashed brightly: "Wang Sheng?"

Sun Ning nodded: "Wang Sheng fled to Qiantang alone when he was defeated. He didn't dare to beg his brother for mercy, so he went to his mother and asked her to intercede."

Sun Ce laughed, this guy really knows how to plan.In this era when filial piety ruled the world, when his mother came forward to intercede, it was really hard for him to refuse.

However, Sun Ce has no intention of letting him go. The current situation is completely different from the situation faced by the bully in history.

Sun Ce did not kill indiscriminately, and even made a three-law agreement with Jiangdong scholars and people. In this case, Wang Sheng still took the lead in launching a rebellion, gathering people to oppose him to occupy Wu County.

If you don't kill him like this, where is your prestige?

But he is an old man, alone, and killing him is only a matter of one word.

Sun Ce put the matter aside for the time being, but asked with great interest: "Second sister said just now that you retreated and returned to Qiantang to join forces with your uncle's clan, and the three clans together repelled the powerful tribe? "

Sun Ning nodded immediately: "That's true. There are about 1000 to [-] people in our three-clan joint army. After the victory, we captured more than [-] people from the powerful tribe."
