Chapter 500

After the song was played, black dots appeared on the horizon in the distance. The black dots moved rapidly and magnified in front of people's eyes one by one. Finally, they came roaring, and the sound of thousands of horses' hooves made the ground seem to move.

Wang Hua walked down the top of the city, and dozens of guards also walked down the top of the city at the same time, and there was not even a single person left on the top of the city.

But those soldiers looked at Wang Hua and at the guqin still on the top of the city wall, but they didn't dare to lift the noose and pull up the suspension bridge.

Qiu Shanli wanted to shout a reminder, but when the words came to his lips, he finally endured it.Is it possible to pull it up in time?Or pull it down, this fierce man stands in the city, most likely he will regain it.

I heard before that after only hearing the three words of Xue Rengui, all the Turkic people knelt down and felt incredible. Anyway, they failed or even died. Why didn't they struggle or run away?It wasn't until today that he realized that when a person reaches a certain level, he cannot be explained by common sense.

Forget it, the big deal is that this official doesn't matter, at least he can survive.

Wang Hua came to the crowd generously and looked at them.They didn't know each other, but when he came here, he did detailed information, and made a list of everyone's appearance, age, surname, habits, specialties and personalities.Even if you are a tiger and the opponent is a rabbit, if you are careless, there will be times when the rabbit will slip away.

He walked in front of Inspector Lin of Jingzhou, cupped his hands and said, "Inspector Lin, I have admired you for a long time."

"Don't dare, dare not," Governor Lin replied.

In fact, I was so depressed that I was dying, but I didn't dare to show it on my face.

It's not unprepared, officials from the three states even got together to discuss it.Wang Hua was short of food, but Sanzhou hoarded a large amount of food, which would definitely make Wang Hua salivate.

The three governors are not without wisdom at all, they discussed for a long time, what are their own strengths and weaknesses, and what are the other party's strengths and weaknesses.An analysis also reveals a lot.Wang Hua didn't dare to doubt his military ability anymore, and he didn't even have the qualifications to doubt it.But it's not without shortcomings. He lacks troops. If he has enough troops, why would he throw away the city of Dafeichuan after occupying it?You must know that there are many rivers from Dafeichuan to Shannan, which are the most abundant pastures as pastures, and many places can also be used as cultivated land. In fact, there are many cultivated lands in Shannan.Moreover, it is to open up the land, at least to recover the territory for the imperial court, which can even rectify Wang Hua's name.It was precisely because of insufficient troops that they gave up decisively.

The lack of troops also caused Wang Hua to fear that the imperial court and Tubo would join forces to attack.Therefore, Wang Huawu threatened the court with chrysanthemums, and Wen used justice to suppress the court.Just don't want to encounter this situation.

But it doesn't matter if you are not careful, Wang Hua also doesn't mind "borrowing" a few more states from the Tang Dynasty.As long as he is careful, Wang Hua may pay a serious price for seizing the prefectures, his own, and the Tang Dynasty's, which will make him lose righteousness. At the same time, because the three prefectures are one step closer to the important areas of Gyeonggi, the imperial court will inevitably counterattack.

So what are your strengths and weaknesses?The shortcoming is the use of troops. There is no doubt that Wang Hua will not be able to take down the state city, but it is not without strengths.Wang Hua is no longer interested in the surrounding counties such as Kuozhou, nor is he interested in the counties under his jurisdiction.The only thing is food, but all the food is now in the state city.As long as the state city is well guarded, everything will be fine.

It can't be said that if you want to keep it, you can keep it. The second chrysanthemum in Lingzhou City is equally charming and moving.God knows if there are any Taoist believers in my city?Therefore, most of the troops were garrisoned in the city.As long as there are enough troops, even if the chrysanthemums bloom in the city, it will not be a big problem.

However, all road barriers to the original Laner Prefecture have not been relaxed.Of course, with such a change, the number of soldiers outside the city is thin, but this is not a big problem. These soldiers were originally used to search for food, and the number is sufficient.There is another one, which acts as a mobile beacon.Once Wang Hua dispatched the army, he immediately returned to the city to report the news.

But no one is perfect, no thing is perfect, and there is no perfect plan, and even the best plan has flaws.

The three governors' ideas cannot be said to be wrong, but they also have fatal flaws.

The army is concentrated in the city to prevent riots among the Christians, and should cooperate with the blood camp outside the city, the strength of the troops outside the city will inevitably weaken.Moreover, although there is only one big road leading to Lanyuan Two Prefectures, there are also many small roads. It turns out that food was smuggled to Bazhou through these small roads.Send troops again so that there are fewer troops on each road.

I really only think of the role of mobile beacon towers.This is why Du Wanghua dared not start a civil war easily.The bet itself was the right one. Wang Hua didn't want to start a civil war now.But it was all strangled by food, and he wouldn't mind launching a small-scale war.

Once the strength of the army is divided, the biggest weakness is exposed, how can Wang Hua not take advantage of it?
As soon as [-] people were dispatched, a road was easily swept away.Then the cavalry chased, just in case.Can't let one escape back to tip off the news.It's just that the cavalry missed it, and there is still a third level waiting.That is the seventy or eighty soldiers who are going to "guard" the city gate and the drawbridge.Before dawn, they lay in ambush on the road outside the big city, and if any soldiers escaped back, they would arrest them again.It can't be said that Wang Hua was careful, four soldiers really escaped from Ge Shuhan's side.But when approaching Weizhou City, let Ge Shuhan kill him.

After completing this matter, there is only the last difficulty left.

The city gates were opened at dawn, but the cavalry could not approach the city, they had to find a place not far away to hide.During this time, someone must guard the city gate and the top of the city to prevent the soldiers in the city from closing the city gate and pulling up the drawbridge.And it must be delayed until the cavalry arrives.

Wang Hua used a luxurious lineup.

He presided over the matter in Jingzhou himself. With his current reputation, although tens of thousands of Turkic people would kneel down and surrender on their own initiative if he stood there alone, at least two, three, three, four thousand soldiers dared not act rashly.Qingzhou is also extravagant. Liu Tong led the cavalry after he was suppressed, but Wang Junchuo and Guo Qianguan are also famous far and wide.

In this era, there is no such thing as a TV broadcast. The most brilliant communication tool is the [-]-mile express. Soldiers carry the news, travel day and night, and change horses and people at the post station. The [-]-mile is not necessarily, and the [-]-mile is not too difficult.Otherwise, Yang Guifei would not be able to eat fresh lychees.

But even with the development of communications in later generations, they are often misled by the media, or the media is deliberately arranged by some people, so they can only report distorted facts.Besides this age.The source of news in this era is nothing more than Wang Er telling Zhang San, Zhang San telling Li Si again, and Li Si telling Zhao Wu again.In the end, the truth was infinitely exaggerated, just like the incident of Wang Hua's escape from the palace, it was rumored among the people that Webster mobilized [-] imperial troops and set up an ambush in the palace.

But in fact, only 1000 people were used, and then hundreds of soldiers joined in.That's how Wang Hua used his wisdom and killed him to death. If it weren't for the sacrifice of three subordinates and the help of Li Xuejun, he would have stayed in the palace.

Ten thousand soldiers, are they really ten thousand ants?

Although Miyagi is very large, ten thousand soldiers can be stationed in ambush, try it.Coupled with the maids and eunuchs in the palace, people will be in a nest.Why did the Shenlong coup be settled by the five kings with five hundred soldiers.Regardless of the failure, Li Chongjun only moved a few hundred people.Li Longji was a bit more ruthless, in addition to the Habayashi army he had bribed, there were also fierce slaves raised by his own men. Zhong Shaojing also brought two hundred craftsmen to fight with big axes in their hands.Exactly how many people participated in the battle is not easy to count, but it will definitely not exceed 2000 people.

Although the number of these hundreds of people sounds small, they are all Habayashi soldiers on duty in the palace. Can ordinary people buy it?When the army is transferred from outside to the city, is it true that the government servants are soy sauce?And without the cooperation of the Habayashi Army inside, it would be equally difficult to attack the palace.

Therefore, it is not true that Lao Mouzi's chrysanthemums are blooming. How did 1 people get into the capital?It turned out that Wang Hua also had this idea, but he would never put on the armor foolishly. Didn't he take the initiative to remind the other party to close all the gates of the imperial city?Besides, the palace ambushed tens of thousands of troops, no matter how big the palace is, it is estimated that there are piles of shelves inside, and the queen doesn't know?I don't know this at all, and I'm talking about rebellion. I smashed my head away with a brick, and I found out what was in my brain.

But the common people don't know it, and neither do ordinary soldiers. Even the governors of the three states may know the political situation in the court, but they haven't entered the palace either.

Not only Wang Hua was infinitely exaggerated, but also the generals of the blood camp were also infinitely exaggerated. Needless to say, Wang Junchuo, although he did not participate in the battle of Yangchang Ridge, he later participated in the battle of the isolated army of the blood camp to break through the siege, as well as the battle of killing the dead. The battle to defeat Ge Luolu, and the battle with Tuqishi.After arriving in Shannan, Mo Hegan regarded him as the most capable general because of the relationship between employing people's eyes.The earliest fame.Guo Qianguan's reputation is slightly weaker, but he also has a fierce reputation. He killed 1 people alive, burned them all to death or shot them to death, and almost did not take any prisoners.

The two of them sneaked into the city with dozens of subordinates, and they couldn't bring too many people. Once they brought too many, they were all picked out of a hundred. Hundreds of tough men stood at the gate of the city, and they didn't want to attract attention. .You can't go to the city one day in advance to prevent the news from leaking. Although it is logically impossible, it is better to prevent it.

Infiltrating into the city, like the subordinates brought by Wang Hua, he shouted, Guo Qianguan and Wang Junchuo of the blood camp are here, and they surrendered without killing.

Why do you want a few brave generals to take risks alone? It's for their reputation.

Although not as shocking as Wang Hua's name, the shock it brought to the soldiers was equally strong.The dozen or so soldiers guarding the city gate were dumbfounded.Wang Junchuo was not as coquettish or coquettish as Wang Hua, and he directly disarmed the weapons in their hands.The same is true on the top of the city.

After a while when the defenders in the city arrived, Wang Junchuo still reported his name, and then said that those who resisted would be killed and those who surrendered would be killed.However, he didn't encounter any major troubles along the way, because of the terrain, he was ambushed on a hill not far away.When the defenders in the city arrived, the cavalry outside the city had already rushed to the gate of the city.

After hesitating for a moment, the cavalry all entered the city and resisted.

They disarmed one by one helplessly. Although the soldiers of the Blood Battalion were at a disadvantage, their morale was all lost. The prefect of Gyeongju just wanted to do something, and the soldiers didn't want to fight, so what?

But Ge Shuhan encountered some troubles. He was not as famous as Wang Junchuo before, but after the battle of Hululing, he is now as famous as the scorching sun.It also successfully disarmed and seized the city, but the cavalry was hidden a little further away.

The defenders in the city came and hesitated for a while, and the governor of Weizhou also ordered to kill Ge Shuhan.But because he had heard of Ge Shuhan's reputation, he also hesitated for a while before ordering. Regardless of the delay, it was very precious.

But still ordered.

Although the reputation is loud, it is still not as good as Wang Hua, and there are only dozens of people. At this time, I saw the personal force of Ge Shuhan and Wu Keli, one with a gun and the other with a knife. Using one as a hundred, firmly controlled the city gate and did not let them close it.

After fighting for a while, more than [-] soldiers were sacrificed. Outside, Zhang Shougui came with his cavalry.Seeing the cavalry coming from a distance like a gust of wind, the soldiers in the city immediately dropped their weapons and ran away.The officers and soldiers in the two prefectures of Qingjing and Jingjing were a little better, but they didn't do anything.But in Weizhou, he made a move, and Wang Hua was extremely defensive.So panicked in my heart, even some generals who participated in the battle ran away.At this point, the governor of Weizhou surrendered directly.

In one morning, all three cities were lost.

But Wang Hua is not interested in Sanzhou, at least not now. He looked at the governor of Jingzhou and said, "Inspector Lin, I have something to trouble you."

"Excuse me, Wang Shilang, what can I do for you," Governor Lin wanted to slap himself after he finished speaking.

"The main thing is food. You probably heard it in Jingzhou. Now Tubo has replaced a more fierce general, Xin Nuoluo. This general has led troops to harass us at the border of the two states of Tanghe and Shanzhou many times. The war is about to break out at any time. However, the treacherous officials of the imperial court were in power, and a certain person caused chaos in the court and tried to use food to make the eight states chaos without a fight. I personally don't care, and my soldiers also don't care, but the chaos in the eight states, under the watchful eyes of Xin Nuoluo, first of all, Heshan Er The state will fall. I heard that there are many grain merchants in Guizhou who have shipped grain, but now they are hoarding it, and there is no market. So I brought soldiers to buy grain from them. I also asked Governor Lin to cooperate, don’t be too strange.”

Wang Hua said it very politely, but at this point, Governor Lin just didn't want to cooperate, so what.

Wang Hua was a little better. Wang Junchuo directly put the knife on the neck of the Gyeongju governor, and pulled it back and forth with the back of the knife, scaring the Gyeongju governor so much that he almost peed his pants.

But he didn't kill anyone yet, so Ge ​​Shuhan was very annoyed. As soon as the army entered the city, he caught up with a guard, raised his gun and dropped him, and picked him up into the air with one shot. A spray of blood sprayed out in midair and fell to the ground , not even a breath.

Then he took pity on the collar of the governor of Weizhou, regardless of whether he was breathable or not.Pity him to arrange actions everywhere.

The three governors and related officials must be controlled, so that some soldiers in the city have other ideas, and they must be wary.

Then he went straight to the place where more than a dozen big families were hoarding food.

Some still owed Wang Hua food, but the food shipped far exceeded the amount owed.Wang Hua paid the money face to face.Not only them, but also some other smugglers who remained in the city were also trapped in the city because of food. At this time, Wang Hua took control of Jingzhou City.They didn't care what Wang Hua wanted to do, and they quickly got rid of it one by one.

Not only these grains, but also those in Benzhou City of Jingzhou who saw the grain prices were cheap and ate part of the grains as food preparations. Wang Hua detained Governor Lin and forced him to "sell" them to Wang Hua at the original price.

Governor Lin wrinkled a bitter face, and he couldn't do without signing. Now Wang Hua is buying with money, and he is really paying for it. Feiqian has already been prepared.If he disagreed, Wang Hua would not mind taking the food away without paying a penny.

The situation on Wang Junchuo's side was similar, but the nature changed when he came to Ge Shuhan's side, and the business traded in a very orderly manner.Wang Hua has repeatedly warned that there is no need to offend the merchants. There will be many good things coming out of the eight states in the future, and the strength of these merchants is needed to transport them into the interior.

But because dozens of his subordinates were killed in battle, Ge Shuhan was ashamed and angry, and he didn't pay a penny for the tens of thousands of stone officials.He doesn't care how the governor of Weizhou fills this vacancy.

But it’s not over yet, the food doesn’t belong to Wang Hua now, so it has to be brought back to Yuanzhou, Lanzhou, so the blood battalion soldiers forcibly gathered all the livestock, horse carts, and ox carts in the city, and drove a large number of people to work as coolies.

Especially for the properties owned by more than a dozen big families, this is a secret notification from Wang Hua that when your food arrives in Sanzhou City, you should also stay in your car, so don't bring it back.Otherwise, the vehicle is really a little nervous.The amount of food is too huge.That's it, there was no way to transport the food out together, so the people were driven out again, not only the people, but also the soldiers, were disarmed and asked to pick them together with poles and baskets.At this time, people can endure hardships. Later, it would be too much to pick up one or two hundred catties of food, but at this time, it is not a problem for the common people to pick up two or three hundred catties of grain.

Of course, it is impossible for them to carry two stones of grain, which is not a light burden for a long journey.Each person picks only one stone.

The brigade started to set off in the afternoon, and they left the city in a mighty manner, without the word almost, but they couldn't see the end at a glance.Soldiers from the Blood Battalion rode war horses and swam on both sides.

But the speed is very slow, the sun has set, and it has only traveled more than [-] miles.

But the three groups of people did not let them rest, they traveled all night.They can't rest either, food has become Wang Hua's biggest constraint, and officials from other states must be watching the news of the fall of the three states.It was the accident in Sanzhou, which had nothing to do with them. Facing Wang Hua, they didn't want to get into trouble.

But here is not far from the capital, with fast horses, at most the middle of the night will arrive in the capital.When some people in the capital heard the news, they would definitely not let Wang Hua transport the grain to Bazhou.Therefore, an edict must be issued to force the officers and soldiers of other states to forcibly block it.

It was necessary to walk overnight, and when it was almost dawn, people were tired and horses were exhausted, but it was not far from Lanyuan.Moreover, Zhu Ting had already started arranging manpower yesterday, countless cattle, horses and sheep, soldiers and civilian husbands, and various vehicles, just like holding a grand welcome party.Received food from the people of the three states.

When he arrived here, Wang Hua did another righteous thing. The forcibly captured vehicles and livestock were returned to the original owners, and everyone, including the porters, gave a relatively generous contribution.Although a lot of money was spent, the money earned was spent.And this heart disease was finally let go.

After Li Dan heard the news in Chang'an, he was silent for a long time, and finally said only one sentence: "This time, this dragon really went up to the sky."

Once the food problem is solved, there must be warriors, countless generals, and a population of 60 to [-] people. No force can stop Wang Hua from gaining a foothold in the northwest.
