344. Chapter 344 Chengde four states
As the remaining 3,000 German troops surrendered in the north, they surrendered in the east, west and south. Immediately after the garrison in Zhenzhou City learned that Wang Shaoyi was captured, they knew that the situation was hopeless. Now there is only one city in the entire Chengde prefectures, so how can they resist the cavalry of the imperial army? So people's hearts disintegrate and surrender to Xiancheng. After that, all the entire Chengde prefectures have been recovered, and one of the three towns of Heshuo, which are famous in Hebei, has been dead in name only.
When Chen Hao entered the city, he posted a list to show his peace to the people, and at the same time he brought the 20,000 surrendered German troops to his command. Chen Hao would never ruthlessly suppress the illegal forces hidden in the city. Now Chen Hao has not damaged the city at all, nor has he caused casualties to the people. This has to be said to be a miracle. In fact, these are just Chen Hao's intentional actions. Although there were no firearms during this year, the catapults used to attack the city were still relatively common.
However, Chen Hao felt that it would be better not to use it if conditions permit. After all, although the catapult is extremely lethal, it is a potential harm to the city buildings and the people. If some people think that fighting is just a struggle between soldiers, then this statement itself is a wrong view. What is the fire in the city gate that harms the pond? What is the fire of the war and the people suffer? Therefore, Chen Hao would not use the tactics of the sea of people to win a battle formation, and would not let the bones become the level of his reputation...
In the Jiedushi Mansion, Chen Hao looked at Wang Shaoyi who was tied up and poured a glass of wine on his own, and then whispered: "Wang Shaoyi, your good days are over!"
"Hmph! Chen Hao, boy, don't be arrogant! When Brother Zhang's reinforcements arrive, it will be your death!" Wang Shaoyi's arms were so painful that he wanted to break free from the rope, but he still couldn't figure it out no matter how he broke free.
Chen Hao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Zhang Yunshen? Reinforcements? Are you referring to the 30,000 dead souls?"
Dead soul? Wang Shaoyi suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Chen Hao with disbelief.
"What? You don't believe it? Haha! This general might as well tell you that Zhang Yunshen's 30,000 troops have now become the soul of the dead. I believe you already know that Zhang Yunshen is being restrained by the 30,000 cavalry of the Xi people, and He Hongjing has no time to look north because of Ma Chang's 100,000 troops. Therefore, Wang Shaoyi, you no longer have any bargaining chips to clamor with me!" Chen Hao shook his wine glass and said softly with a leisurely expression.
Chen Hao knew that the three towns of Heshuo were the strongest in the number of Fan Yang Jiedu, Zhang Yunshen, the governor of Fan Yang, was the strongest, so in order to prevent him from sending troops to help him when he captured Chengde, he sent a letter to Slaughter Lang earlier, and ordered him to lead his troops to ambush Yishui to block the reinforcements in order to gain time for him to recover Chengde. As a result, on Chen Hao's way out of Jizhou, Chen Hao received the military information sent by Slaughter Lang. He learned that Slaughter Lang had ambushed Zhang Yun's 30,000 troops in Yishui according to his instructions. All 30,000 troops were annihilated, and no one survived.
At this moment, Wang Shaoyi completely collapsed in the hall, and even the last straw had been destroyed by Chen Hao. If someone else told him these things, Wang Shaoyi might have thought they were deceiving words, but now Chen Hao said this, but he would not let him believe it because he knew that Chen Hao had no need to deceive a defeated general.
In the afternoon, Gao Pian and Pu Gujun led a large army to appear at the city of Zhenzhou. When the two wanted to send horses to explore Chen Hao's marching, they found that the flag of the court was already flying high on the Zhenzhou city tower. Just as the two were stunned, the city gate of Zhenzhou opened, and eighteen men in black appeared at the city gate on black horses.
It was not until this moment that the two confirmed their own conjectures, so they entered Zhenzhou City with complex expressions. For Pu Gujun, in addition to being shocked, they were more worshipful. Chen Hao took Jizhou first to capture the three states, and not only did they also divided their troops to support them. This ability really made Pu Gujun gain insight, and now they have to break through the last line of defense of Chengde before them, which has to be worshipped by Pu Gujun.
As for Gao Pian, Chen Hao was able to capture Jizhou and Zhenzhou so miraculously, which really shocked him a lot. If the war in Jizhou was of equal strength and there was a hint of luck, then Chen Hao recovered Zhenzhou with only 5,000 troops overnight with only 5,000 troops, which would be unreasonable for any reason. The only reason is that Chen Hao's military strategy is far above him.
In Gao Pian's eyes, Chen Hao was a wise man and a mentor. Therefore, Gao Pian has always respected Chen Hao very much because Chen Hao was kind to him. Gao Pian also knew that Chen Hao had unique military talents, and it was enough to see from the training of soldiers in the East Capital to the two great victories in Hexi. Gao Pian put high expectations on this Northern Expedition, and he hoped that with Chen Hao's wisdom and his military talents, he would be famous all over the world and go to history forever.
But what Gao Pian never expected was that the talent shown by Chen Hao in this Northern Expedition was far beyond his imagination. Gao Pian has always believed that when it comes to military talents, in the current court, except for Zhang Huaishen, the governor of Hexi, he was undoubtedly Gao Pian. However, now it seems that he is arrogant and arrogant, so there is a hidden loss in his eyes besides shock.
When the two entered the Jiedushi Mansion, Chen Hao warmly welcomed Gao Pian and Pu Gujun. After the troops were resting for a day, Chen Hao discovered that there were now 70,000 troops under his command. However, Chen Hao knew very well that the so-called 70,000 troops were only 30,000 troops.
On that night, Chen Hao wrote a military newspaper in his hand and sent 800 miles to the capital. In the morning of the next day, Chen Hao conveyed military orders to the Jiedushi's Office. In order to prevent the resurgence of the four prefectures of Chengde, Gao Pian ordered 50,000 troops to guard the four prefectures of Chengde. The four prefectures of Chengde live between the two towns, so it is a crucial pass whether it is advancing or retreating. Gao Pian knew that Chen Hao handed over the four prefectures of Chengde to him was a kind of trust in him, so he happily took on this burden. Chen Hao personally led 20,000 troops north, and the next battlefield was Fanyang Jiuzhou.
The military newspaper was sent to the capital for 800 miles in a hurry, and it was time to get to the morning court. Since entering the capital, the messenger carrying the military newspaper ran quickly on the streets of Chang'an, shouting: "Hebei urgent report! Hebei urgent report!" A fast horse left, leaving behind the people of Chang'an speculation and discussion.
"Hey! Have you seen it? Hebei urgently reported it! I believe Lord Chen has gained some insights in the war in Hebei!"
"Yes, the only war in my Tang Dynasty is now Hebei! I wonder what happened to Lord Chen in this battle..."
"Hey! This is hard to say. Although Mr. Chen's talent is beyond the present, this is a war after all, not a craftsmanship..."
"What the man said is reasonable. Even though Chen is a master of culture and martial arts, it is really not optimistic to use a 50,000 army to fight against the enemy's 300,000 army! If you want to win this battle, it is a long time to talk!"
"Although the two of you are reasonable, Lord Chen has the ability to be unpredictable to ghosts and gods. How is the battle situation after the ministers in the court disperse..."
As the remaining 3,000 German troops surrendered in the north, they surrendered in the east, west and south. Immediately after the garrison in Zhenzhou City learned that Wang Shaoyi was captured, they knew that the situation was hopeless.
