Chapter 744: Kindness does not control the soldiers
Yizhou, Tianshui. Yun Zhao's central army tent is located in the last tent in the north. Yun Zhao gathered almost all the forces he could gather, surrounded by three and one, leaving only a road to Qinzhou for Cheng Qun's Jinwu Guard. If he did not surround all sides, he would mainly leave a hope of breaking through the Jinwu Guard. It was not that Yun Zhao had insufficient troops. If he really surrounded him so hard that he would be unable to escape, it would arouse his opponent's determination to fight to the death.
Yun Zhao is not afraid of his opponent breaking through. Cangjiang has been controlled by the Navy of the Northern Army. Cheng Qun is now in the world with no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground. He really has the idea of breaking through. When they arrive in Qinzhou, the Mongolian cavalry can catch up with them at any time and destroy them one by one while chasing them.
Judging from Cheng Qun's style, he was going to defend Yizhou City to the death. His practice of driving out all the tens of thousands of people in the city except for the young and strong is really a mess. As Cheng Qun expected, in Yun Zhao's view, these are his people, and of course they need resettlement. Resettlement requires time, food and housing. In March in the north, the night is still very cold. If the elderly, weak, sick and disabled are accidentally, they may die at any time.
It took Yun Zhao a lot of thought to adjust food, tents and everything needed from Yizhou, Luzhou and other places. In Tianshui, Yizhou, Daji demarcated a large area as the residence of these refugees, which did take a lot of Yun Zhao's mind. What he did now is to ensure that they have a bowl of porridge a day, and the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people will not sleep in the wild at night. As for the rest, they are not caring about it.
"It's not easy to fight Yizhou City!" Han Zhong looked at the sand table in front of him and said to Yun Zhao, "The plains are spread all around Yizhou City. The original dense forests were also cut down by Cheng Qun. Standing at the top of the city, you can see it with no sight. Any mobilization of our army can't hide from the other party. There is no other good way except for fighting hard."
Yao Changkun was also locked in his head, "Mr. Han is right. This city has no room for other means except to use its might and forcefully pull it out. However, if you want to defeat such a strong city, you will have to pay an extremely tragic price."
With his hands on the sand table, Yun Zhao was filled with sorrow. The battle in the north was about to achieve complete success, but the nail that was standing in front of him made him feel like he was choked in his throat.
Yao Changkun understood Yun Zhao's thoughts. He persuaded him: "Governor, you are not in charge of the soldiers. It is right to be sympathetic to the soldiers, but since it is a war, casualties are inevitable. Now it is just a Yizhou City. If you enter the Central Plains in the future, there are many strong cities like Yizhou City. If the soldiers are not allowed to gain experience and let them understand how to attack the city, the losses will be greater in the future. Sooner or later, you will pass this level. Why not let the soldiers go and let the soldiers practice while the situation is in my hands. Just think that the soldiers have practiced. So many troops have to attack and control the losses to the smallest range possible. Drag and drag the Jinwu Guard to death!"
Yun Zhao smiled bitterly. Speaking of the famous army in the Northern Territory, it was invincible in the battle of the northern part. But when it comes to realism, he had never fought a strong city. The only Feitian Camp Shigandang team, who had fought a strong city, was surprised. He used the mountains on both sides of Yumen Mountain to descend from the sky. However, this tactic can only be used this time, and it will not work anymore. Other troops have made a reputation in field battles. Now that Jinwu Guard guards Yizhou City, he put such a problem in front of him.
"How can I not be polite to the men!" Yun Zhao sighed, "Behind a soldier is a family. I don't know how many people will die to take down such a strong city. What I least want to hear is the crying of the people who lost their relatives after the war. I don't want every family in the north to wear mourning and every household is funeral!"
Looking at Yun Zhao, Han Zhong said in a deep voice: "Governor, the so-called general's success has been broken. Since ancient times, the governor is a person who wants to win the world. If he does not change it early, he will be defeated in the future. If the governor cannot bear the casualties of his soldiers, why don't we return to Xingling as soon as possible, and release the process group, and bow to Li Xiao, Shangjing, and just divide the north and be safe!"
Listening to Han Zhong's words, Yun Zhao's face suddenly sank.
"Governor, what Lord Han said is unpleasant, but it is a loyal speech." Yao Changkun looked at Yun Zhao's brink of anger and quickly said, "Cheng Qun is not an ordinary person. He has experienced many battles. Since he decided to stick to Yizhou City, he must have made all preparations. We can't think of any other way except to fight head-on. Please make up your mind early."
Yun Zhao turned around and left the sand table, walked to the big case and sat down, nodded, "I know, let's do my best first. Lord Han sent an envoy to the city to persuade Cheng Qun to surrender, telling him that as long as he is willing to surrender, I, Yun Zhao, guarantee that Cheng Qun will be prosperous and prosperous in the future, and even more so today, I hope that he will not use the lives of tens of thousands of kids from Jinwu Guard to fulfill his name behind him. In this way, even if the reputation is recorded in history, it will be scolded by thousands of people."
"Abide by the order of the governor!" Han Zhong bowed and said, "But I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve results. I look at what Cheng Qun has done over the years, and it is very difficult to change once this person is determined to pay attention to it."
"We have to give it a try!" Yun Zhao waved his hand.
"I am good at field battles, and attacking the city is not my strength. This battle will be coordinated and directed by Lord Han and Lord Yao. I can be a charge general!" Yun Zhao stretched out his hand and pulled out Yi Shuihan, gently stroked the blade with his fingers, feeling the coldness.
Han Zhong and Yao Changkun laughed at the same time, "Governor, the Northern Army is now strong and powerful, and the generals under the command of the governor are full of talents. So it's your turn to go into battle. Just sit in the central army and watch us attack the city!"
Yun Zhao smiled bitterly: "Others see me majestic and can do whatever they think. But now I can't fight a battle with great pain. Before I could say it, I would get stuck."
Yao Changkun laughed when he heard this, "Governor, the so-called superiors are hard-working, and the lowers are hard-working. The governor is in a high position, and it's hard-working. As for this labor, let's leave it to us. If the governor really wants to be satisfied with the battle, after Lord Han and I attack Yizhou City, Cheng Qun fled in a panic, the governor stepped on the dark clouds and stepped on the snow. Zhi Yi Shuihan, held the Pojun bow, and went to the good-looking and killed the enemy. As for the others, let's forget it!"
Yun Zhao spat, "To put it nicely, at that time, I haven't taken action yet, and I have been killed by the guards!"
"Chen Qun will definitely leave it to the governor!" Han Zhongyi said with a smile.
The three of them were joking, and a personal guard strides into the tent, "Report to the Governor, Lord Wang Gui, Lord Guo Changxing and Lord Guo asked for a meeting!"
"Oh, they are back from Jiaozhou!" Yun Zhao stood up, "Please!"
Wang Gui and Guo Changxing smiled happily. Behind them, a general with a helmet and armor was still following. When Yun Zhao saw the man, his face became even happier. Liu Xuyong, the general of Qianniu Guard, finally surrendered.
Ignoring the Jin encounter between Wang Gui and Guo Changxing, Yun Zhao walked out of the big case and came directly to Liu Xuyong. He reached out and held Liu Xuyong's big hand, and smiled and said, "General Liu, Yun Zhao has been famous for a long time. I will meet him today and get what he wants!"
Liu Xuyong's face was flushed, "The defeated general dared not speak out."
"General Liu is very wise and has made great sense to make tens of thousands of subordinates die in vain. He dares to scold the world and abandon his reputation. He is a true hero and a true hero. Yun Zhao admires him so much. He is here to show General Liu!" Yun Zhao laughed.
Yao Changkun smiled and brought a chair with his own hands and placed it behind Liu Xuyong.
"General Liu, I don't know what plans are going to do in the future?" Yun Zhao looked at Liu Xuyong and asked, "The Qianniu Guard is nearly 30,000, so what does General Liu want to make arrangements?"
Wang Gui took a step forward and said, "Governor, we are in Jiaozhou, and we have already discussed the place where General Liu's command is going. General Liu himself is unwilling to join the Northern Expedition Army, and Lord Guo and I are unwilling to force it. As for Qianniu Weierlang, if those who are willing to join the Northern Expedition Army, they will be reorganized into the Northern Expedition Army. If those who are unwilling, they will put down their weapons and release their armor and return to the fields. General Liu begs the Governor to give these people a place so that these soldiers can farm."
Yun Zhao looked at Liu Xuyong, "General Liu, do you really want to join our Northern Expedition Army? We are planning major issues together?"
Liu Xuyong shook his head and said, "Liu has been fighting for half his life, and is tired of it. This time he is in a desperate situation and does not want to follow me for many years to bury his children in the north, so he came to ask the governor to be tolerant. To be honest, most of the Qianniu Guards do not want to fight again. He begs the governor to give us a piece of land after we put down our weapons so that we can farm and reliance on our own. Before the war between the governor and the south is over, we will not step into Jiangnan. When the war is over in the future, these men still want to return to their hometowns. As for Liu, he has no shame to go back to Jiangnan. Please ask the governor to reward Liu's house in Xingling. I think the governor doesn't care about supporting a idle person like me? In addition, there are some senior generals of Qianniu Guards who also want to go to Xingling to live with me. The governor doesn't mind me taking them with me, right?"
Yun Zhao smiled slightly, and Liu Xuyong said it very clearly. Nearly 30,000 Niu Guards could put down their weapons, but they could not break up the organization and let them farm. However, such a large group of people stayed in Jiangbei in an organized and disciplined manner, and he was obviously worried, so Liu Xuyong took his body as his qualities and stayed until Xingling to live in Yian's heart.
"Yun Zhao has a deep understanding of the homesickness of the children. General Liu saved the pain of war in Jiaozhou. Not only did he save tens of thousands of children from Qianniu Guards, but he also made many soldiers of the Northern Army not have to be buried in the battlefield. How could I not agree to such a small request? Geng Chong!"
"The last one is here!" Geng Chong, who had been staying in the corner of the house, responded.
"You will handle this matter with Lord Guo Changxing."
"Yes!" Geng Chong agreed loudly.
