Chapter 870: Yun Zhao's Decision
Ten days after Yun Zhao stopped his attack, Guo Fengfeng and Chenchen reappeared in Yun Zhao's camp.
"Prince, panic, the entire Xiangzhou is in a panic mood." Guo Feng saw Yun Zhao's first words, and everyone in the tent was stunned.
Yun Zhao stared at Guo Feng for a while, "What does it mean, just explain it."
Take out a notice from your arms, "Prince, please see this kind of notice is spread all over the streets and alleys of Luzhou, rural and towns."
Yun Zhao took the notice suspiciously, but after reading a few lines, he was already furious. He suppressed his anger and finished reading the notice that was nearly a thousand words, and slapped it on the table with a bang, "Black and white, shameless."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the people will not understand this notice. It is written in plain language. Moreover, it is specially recited for those who are illiterate. In the countryside, Luzhou officials have sent scholars to preach to the people. Now Luzhou recognizes me, Prince. You collude with the Mongolian people to travel south and want to slaughter Luzhou. All men will snatch the hard work in the north and do women as slaves."
"Farting" the many generals in the tent jumped up all at once.
"We know it's farts, but the common people believed it. Luzhou officials mobilized a large number of scholars, gentry, and some well-known local people to join the ranks of preaching, making the common people believe it. Panic will make people afraid, but fear can sometimes make people die. Prince, we have to make plans early. Now, there are so-called volunteer troops formed by ordinary people in Luzhou who are rushing towards us. If we don't make any decisions, we will only gather more and more people here, and this battle will become increasingly difficult to fight."
As soon as he heard this, Wang Qiang stood up with murderous intent, "Your Majesty, you can't hesitate. If you should kill, you have to kill. If you drag it down, you will kill more in the future. Only kill chickens and monkeys, let them know that our knife is not for vegetarian food. Now it is to not kill in the future. It will scare them to scatter. It will be fine. I don't believe it. When they see blood flowing into a river, they will still have the courage to confront our army."
Hu Zehua, who was blocked by this in Dangshan, deeply felt that he was not blocked by ordinary people, but was blocked in his heart. "Prince, General Wang Qiang is right. While there are not many people gathering now, attack them. They will mainly disperse them, and there will be no many people. If more people gather together, it will be even more troublesome. Prince, don't forget, how did General Li Fugui die?"
When talking about Li Fugui, Yun Zhao couldn't help but feel upset. Li Fugui was siege and died in Yanzhou because Qin Lifeng incited the people of Yanzhou.
Yun Zhao almost made the decision, but when he said something, he finally swallowed it back. Should he waved his butcher knife to these ordinary people who were like him ten years ago? What are the differences between those people from Yunjia Village?
Everyone's eyes were staring at Yun Zhao's face, hoping that he would make a decision immediately.
"Prince, several wealthy private troops have entered Luzhou. If we drag it down, we won't be able to defeat Luzhou City." Guo Feng said urgingly.
Yun Zhao stood up slowly, "Everyone, do you know what I thought of just now?"
"I thought of my mother and the fellow villagers in Yunjia Village. Back then, facing the sharp arrows of the men, their helplessness, innocence, and blood deeply hurt me. I still cannot forget that if we raised the butcher knife to the people in Luzhou today, then what we left here is not only blood, corpses, graves, and endless hatred."
“We are not beasts”
All the generals bowed their heads.
"Transfer my order, and transfer Su Dingfang to enter Luzhou immediately, transfer Mengyao's third battalion into Luzhou, transfer Wan Shichang to lead 10,000 Guangchang camps to Xingling, transfer Huo Zhenting camp to Jingzhou, transfer Meng rode the Han tribe across the river from Ganzhou to aid Guizhou, and ordered Yan Xiaoyi to immediately march towards Guizhou as fast as possible."
Yun Zhao paused, "Sent a message to Yaerdan, Han Zhong, Yao Changkun, all the sixteen states in the north mobilized all the reserves to collect all reserves and prepare for crossing the river to fight."
"Prince, our logistics can't stand the deployment of such a large-scale army." Guo Feng exclaimed.
Yun Zhao smiled coldly, "Now the Southern Dynasty wants to eliminate Park Demeng first, and then turn around and deal with me. Good, a large number of private military camps gathered in Luzhou. Okay, I give them this opportunity and earnestly in one battle. I want to severely invade these so-called private armies in Luzhou. I want to see if they still have the enthusiasm to die after fighting with our army, and are in a hurry to report to King Yama. I am worried about how to deal with these aristocratic families after we take down the Southern Dynasty. Since they are delivered to the door, they will be uprooted. Even if they can't uproot, they will have a basis for settlement in the future."
The generals looked at Yun Zhao and understood what he meant. Congliang wanted to eliminate Park Deok-meng. At this time, the prince also wanted to hurt the private army of the aristocratic families who came to support him. Now it depends on whether Park Deok-meng can support it until the end.
"Even if Park Deok-meng is defeated, I believe that with his ability, Congliang Su Can and others will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Even if he turns around, what can he do to me?" Yun Zhao slapped the table heavily.
"The whole army is resting, we are waiting for those private troops"
"Prince, what should I do if those gathering people?" Guo Feng asked again.
Yun Zhao looked at Ma You in the distance and shouted: "Ma You"
"The last one is in" Ma You strode to Yun Zhao, "Are you ready?"
"I will be ready at the end."
"Very good. I need your Marines to be dispatched, but I don't want you to kill people, but I want you to arrest people. No matter what method you use, you will capture the influential people among the gathering people. The more the better. Guo Feng, your official position will also be dispatched. No matter whether you kidnap or use other methods, I want the same effect as Ma You."
"The last general understands," Guo Feng said loudly. But Ma You blinked his eyes and looked at Yun Zhao, as if he was a little confused.
"Is there anything I don't understand? Or is there any difficulty?" Yun Zhao asked coldly.
"No, no" Ma You stood up.
Yun Zhao nodded, "Let the troops rest and wait for Ma You and Guo Feng and others to come back to talk. At the same time, give the other party some time to assemble the army."
"Abide by the order" the generals stood up. Since the prince had made up his mind, all that everyone left was to execute the order to the end.
Jiangxia, Yan Xiaoyi's tribe.
Yan Xiaoyi's army, which was severely injured in Ganzhou, was severely injured. Fortunately, Congliang was eager to go to Guizhou and did not pursue him relentlessly, which allowed him to breathe. After retreating to Jiangxia, he consolidated his army and had about 5,000 troops under his command, but there were only more than 3,000 cavalrymen, and the rest lost their war horses. A month later, when Congliang fought to Yanchi and Sun Chuanliang retreated to Luzhou, Yan Xiaoyi finally waited for the opportunity to counterattack. At this moment, Fengpu Chenchen's three-eyed tiger only brought two old friends from Yuanyingzuiyan to sneak into Jiangxia and met Yan Xiaoyi.
"Thu Ye, the most important thing for us now is that we lack food. Fortunately, we don't have a lot of horse meat from war horses that died of serious injuries. But horses cannot do without food. Just eating grass, so how can we fight?"
"You eat horse meat?" The three-eyed tiger's face changed drastically.
"Tiger, this is impossible. People are always more important than horses. Brothers are reluctant to leave and cannot eat them. So until now, these horse meats are still stored, but when it is really time to go to war, you have to eat them if you don't eat them. Now is a good time to counterattack, but I don't have food to fill the horses."
Three-eyed tiger was silent for a moment, "I came from outside, it's the end of September." He gritted his teeth, "It's the season of harvest."
"Thu Ye, you mean robbing grain, robbing the grain of Jiangxia people."
"Extraordinary opportunity, very action, Xiao Yi, I know your worries, don't be afraid, I'll take responsibility for this matter." Sanyan Hu smiled coldly, "Anyway, I'm not welcomed by Yun Zhao. At that time, you will say that I forced you to give the order, and took the lead. You used to be my little brother, and I can't resist me. I'm a bandit, why don't you rob their food and go out to Jiangxia. After Jiangxia, it's a vast world."
Yan Xiaoyi remained silent.
"From tomorrow, you will stay in your big tent, and I will do it. I will take people out and dig three feet of the ground. I will also find enough food." Sanyan Hu said coldly: "I am not afraid of being in charge of soldiers."
Yan Xiaoyi looked at the three-eyed tiger, "Tiger Master"
"You don't have to say anything. If it weren't for the sake of Miss Hong, I would never have come. Since I'm here, of course I have to take on some things. At worst, I'll go back to train my cavalry after the war." Sanyan Hu laughed and patted Yan Xiaoyi on the shoulder, "From today, I will be your deputy general."
At the end of September, in the sadness of the people of Jiangxia, Yan's small army suddenly launched a counterattack with infantry as the leader, conquered the enemy positions blocking the Jiangxia main road. The cavalry rushed out of Jiangxia. At this time, Yun Zhao's orders were also passed to Jiangxia. Yan Xiaoyi and the three-eyed tiger immediately led three thousand cavalry to the Guizhou, while the remaining more than a thousand soldiers turned back to Luzhou under the leadership of a school captain, where they would receive sufficient war horses and then join Yun Zhao's battle.
Yan Xiaoyi's troops rushed to Guizhou, and were not surprised by the news. He just ordered Zhang Yuting to send a member of the army to build a city wall on the main road that had left painful memories with the guards. He sent a thousand people to garrison and gave up. One man blocked the pass, and ten thousand men could not open it. He wanted the Northern Army to try the pain of tragic losses due to attacking here.
The arrival of Yan Xiaoyi's troops also made Congliang realize that time must take action.
