Chapter 109: Taking advantage of the fire and robbing the fifth plan
After the continuous clearance of various troops from the Shangdang Cavalry Division from the early morning of the first lunar month, the Xianbei defeated soldiers who fled into Shangdang were basically eliminated. Occasionally, a few fish that escaped the net also fled northward into Taiyuan County, which basically did not harm Zhao Xing.
The preliminary post-war statistics were placed on Zhao Xing's desk on the second day of the first lunar month. After this battle, Shangdang Crouching Tiger Army killed more than 7,000 enemies, but no prisoners were captured. More than 800 people were killed on his own, more than 1,000 people were seriously injured, and more than 2,000 people were slightly injured. This result was already a very amazing record in the eyes of others, but Zhao Xing still felt that there were many casualties.
Now, there is a surgeon Hua Tuo who is in Shangdang for consultation, a first aid kit distributed by Zhao Xing to each soldier, and a relatively advanced sterile operating room. As long as the air is not cut off, the seriously injured soldiers will have a chance to survive or even recover. Zhao Xing hopes that fewer elite soldiers he trained have been trained to die. As long as these soldiers do not sacrifice, they will have the opportunity to grow into front-line command officers during the battle of the large corps in the future.
The battalion led by Xu Huang had the most casualties, with more than 200 people killed, and the rest were all delighted. The results of this battalion were also the most brilliant, killing more than 1,400 enemies, without taking a step back! No one expected that Queju Bisha was so brave that he dared to attack Changzi County, Shangdang County, and only brought three thousand troops. Since ancient times, cavalry has only been suitable for mobile combat and annihilated the enemy in the wild. Whenever he encountered a strong city, he would take a detour and let the infantry attacking the city. He didn't know what Queju Bisha was thinking at that time.
Zhao Xing knew that Xu Huang was good at fighting. In his memory of the previous life, he once flooded the seven armies. After defeating Yu Jin, Guan Yu, who was shaking China, was broken into Xu Huang's hands. It can be seen that Xu Huang's offense and defense were very powerful. But like this narrow encounter, Xu Huang cut off the Xianbei people with just two big axes. Zhao Xing really didn't expect it. It was also a fault that Zhao Xing had held Xu Huang for too long. Since he became a sworn brother, Xu Huang has not yet led one army alone and has a chance to kill all directions. Many times, as Guan Yu's deputy, he followed the side drums. This time, his close fight with the Xianbei people finally broke out.
Zhao Xing, who was holding the casualty statistics in his hand, was thinking about the post-war pension, but he heard Zhao Gang report outside the door: "Lord, Mr. Wenhe is asking for a meeting in the outer hall!"
"Sir, please come to my study to speak!" Zhao Xing ordered.
A moment later, Jia Xu came to Zhao Xing's study.
"Congratulations to Guochang for his training of such a strong army. When he fights to dominate the world in the future, he will be able to be powerful!" Jia Xu said with a smile to Zhao Xing.
"Mr. I'm afraid he's here to meet Xing today, I'm afraid he's not just congratulating me?" Zhao Xing put down the paper in his hand and said with a deep smile.
"The son Jia Mu has been following Guochang for more than a year. He recorded the thirty-six strategies that Guochang talked about in a book. He happened to be seen by Xu. He realized that Guochang's military strategy and strategy in his heart was not inferior to Sun Wu and Zhang Liang!" Jia Xu said sincerely.
"Sir, Xing dare not accept it. It's just a matter of talking about it on paper. Without actual tests, it cannot be true!" Although Jia Xu praised him so much that he chased Sun Wu and Zhang Liang, Zhao Xing knew his level in his heart and did not forget him at all.
"Sir, suddenly mentioned the thirty-six strategies, but what good ones should be offered?" Zhao Xing asked Jia Xu.
"What is the fifth of the thirty-six strategies that Guochang said?" Jia Xu asked back.
"Take the robbery!" Zhao Xing replied casually. After saying this, he already understood what Jia Xu meant. Jia Xu was reminding him to take advantage of the chaos in the Xianbei people who harmed Xihe County all the way and take the opportunity to take Xihe County for himself!
"Sir, who thinks the governor of Xihe County is competent?" Zhao Xing asked directly.
"Tian Yuanhao and Chen Gongtai are both the best choices!" Jia Xu replied.
"Who is the county magistrate?" Zhao Xing asked again.
"Xihe County is close to Hexi Qianghu, the Great Wall in the north, and the left division of the Xiongnu in the east. It is often ravaged by people of cavalry and shooting. It is better to lead a cavalry division to guard it!" Jia Xu made a suggestion.
"Mr. Yuan Hao is smart and resourceful, but he is too strong, so it may be difficult to negotiate with foreign races; Mr. Gongtai is kind and loving to the people, and his wisdom is good. Zilong is calm when encountering things. The two of them help each other, so that the Xihe River can be peaceful!" Zhao Xing thought for a moment and decided to be the chief civil and military officer of Xihe County.
On the third day of the first lunar month, Zhao Yun, who was still patrolling around Shangdang, suddenly received a letter from Zhao Xing sent by members of the "Shadow". He immediately gathered all the troops of the cavalry division and rushed to Lishi County where Xihe County was located. The soldiers of the cavalry division saw scorched earth everywhere along the way, and there were corpses of the people killed by the Xianbei people on the road. The rich and wealthy families who could run away now, fled with gold and silver. The people who could not run away looked resigned to fate, waiting in a daze that the court's troops could drive the Xianbei people out of the Great Wall.
Without any effort, Zhao Yun led the cavalry division to dispatch troops to the thirteen counties in Xihe County. Some Xihe County soldiers who had not had time to escape were not surprised to see the Han army coming to guard, as if they had nothing to do with them. The soldiers of these county soldiers could not find the soldiers and could not find the officials. They had already been scared by the cruel killing of the Xianbei people, and they still had a trace of blood and resistance.
On the same day when Zhao Yun led his army to Xihe County, Liu Jili and Li Jinsi went south with a lot of money, preparing to go to Luoyang City to find the help of the eunuch Zhang Rang, and turn the fait accompli of the Croaking Tiger Army occupying Xihe County into a legal fact. Zhao Xing did this mainly to give the court and the emperor a face, and did not want to attract the wind, which would arouse further defense and unite among all forces. As long as everyone did not join forces to bully Zhao Xing and fight one by one, even if it was a wheel battle, as long as Zhao Xing occupied Xihe County, he would not be afraid.
Why do you say that? Because there is a large amount of real estate in Xihe County, which is a strategic material that can support Zhao Xing on the road to domination in the future. That is coal mines! In the eyes of other warlords, coal mines do not have much value in utilization, and are far less affordable than copper mines, gold mines and iron mines. That is because they don’t know how to use coal resources. As a person who travels through time, Zhao Xing knows better than anyone what he can do after having a large amount of coal resources.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Chen Gong brought a group of civil servants who had been assessed by Guo Jia to enter Xihe County. The former Xihe County Magistrate is still trembling and hiding in Jinyang, Taiyuan County City, and has no idea of the fact that his nest has been occupied. Some of the other county-level officials were killed, some escaped, and some were unlucky to be beaten to death by ordinary people who have recovered their minds.
Why do ordinary people beat these people? Because the people pay heavy taxes every year to support a bunch of borers and county soldiers, but when the Xianbei people came in, no one organized resistance and no county soldiers came to protect the people. Of course, the reason why the people have such courage is that they are interested in spreading the story of Zhao Xing supporting the people to kill Huang County when he passed by Anyang County, Wei County. After Huang County was beaten to death, the people had nothing to do, which strengthened the courage of the people in Xihe, and pulled out some officials who were hiding among the people, and beat them to death.
Chen Gong was very efficient in his work. As soon as he arrived in Lishi, he immediately issued an Anminister's notice to help the victims. He followed the Shangdang government orders and drasticly took over the fields of wealthy families who had already fled to the county magistrate's office. He moved a large number of landless refugees from Shangdang County to Xihe to alleviate the increasing population pressure of Shangdang.
