Chapter 587 Surrender to the strong requires sincerity

After listening to his son's question, Zhang Zhongyan was silent for a while, then turned around and walked back.

He spoke as he walked.

"Both of them, I want to reduce my military power, and I want to show it to others. This shows that there are many people in the Liberation Army who are dissatisfied with me. Zhang Yuejing is under great pressure, but Zhang Yuejing is not willing to take me seriously. .

Zhang Yuejing's position must directly accept Su Yonglin's orders. Zhang Yuejing's attitude can be directly equivalent to Su Yonglin's attitude, which means that Su Yonglin wants to protect me, and the punishment for me is just to shut up those inside.

It's just that I didn't expect that the military discipline of the Liberation Army had really reached this level. I heard that only Yue Fei who ruled the army could achieve this level, and the Liberation Army actually did too.

I can understand why Su Yonglin was able to overthrow the Jin Kingdom and dominate the Central Plains. With this kind of army, it absolutely controls the people's hearts and minds. The one who wins the people's hearts and minds wins the world. "

Zhang Fu was a little puzzled.

"Su Yonglin wants to protect his father? Is this his attitude?"

Zhang Zhongyan nodded.

"Why did he, Su Yonglin, accept my surrender? Isn't he just interested in the status and momentum of our Zhang family in Guanzhong? He needs me, through me to announce his attitude to those who are holding a wait-and-see attitude, so that those people don't resist, Return to him as soon as possible, and he can control Guanzhong as soon as possible and completely destroy the Jin Kingdom."

Having said this, Zhang Zhongyan sighed again: "He needs me, so why don't I need him? It is possible to be an enemy of him, although there is a temporary benefit, but seeing his army is so strict and disciplined, he even loves the people like a child. .

People's hearts, people's hearts will definitely be held in his hands. If we don't understand the general trend, we will definitely be harmed by waiting for a long time. Only by following Su Yonglin can we maintain long-term interests. In the end, we can use each other. That's it. "

Zhang Fu was speechless, and after a while, he asked again, "Then how many soldiers and horses should we need to abolish?"

"half."

"half?"

Zhang Fu frowned: "Is it too much? Half is 2 people, only 2 people. Can we still be the same as before? If Su Yonglin turns his face one day, can we still resist?"

"Can we successfully resist with [-] troops now?"

Zhang Zhongyan's rhetorical question left Zhang Fu speechless and lowered his head.

Are you kidding me?
Fighting with those murderous Liberation Army soldiers?
Zhang Fuke didn't dare to think about it at all.

Zhang Zhongyan shook his head.

"Su Yonglin is a strong man. Although he needs me, it does not mean that he is not a strong man. To surrender to a strong man requires sincerity. If there is no me, although he will face some difficulties, in the end, Guanzhong is his, not him. I don't have it anymore.

The Zhang family is only closed to the famous family. Su Yonglin is the king of the world. It is a matter of course to submit to the king of the world. My son, put away your thoughts. If the Zhang family wants to survive, they must do their best to cater to Su Yonglin without hurting themselves. Understand? "

Zhang Fu looked at Zhang Zhongyan blankly, and then nodded with difficulty.

"Understood, father."

"Well, let's go to work, raise the momentum, let everyone know that Zhang Zhongyan is reducing the army, and select one or two hundred people from the part of the people who were laid off and hand them over to the Military Justice Department.

Just say...they committed crimes, I took the initiative to find these violators of law and discipline, and took the initiative to hand them over to the Military Justice Division for punishment. Then, you privately warned those who stayed to restrain themselves, and if anyone dared to commit a crime, I would tolerate it. not under them. "

"I see, father."

Zhang Fu soon went to work.

Soon, news of Zhang Zhongyan's large-scale disarmament spread, and the entire Restoration Army knew that Zhang Zhongyan was undergoing large-scale disarmament.

At the same time, the Military Judicial Department of the Henan Corps also received 130 "disturberers" escorted by Zhang Zhongyan's troops, saying that these people were bastards interrogated by Zhang Zhongyan on his own initiative, and they would be handed over to the Military Judicial Department for strict punishment. Zhang Zhongyan would never condone traitors .

Then, Zhang Yuejing also announced the punishment for Zhang Zhongyan this time, fined him money and rations, and fined him to dismiss unreliable soldiers.

Cut off half of his troops in one go.

With such a combination of punches, the dissatisfaction with Zhang Zhongyan's Fengxiang Army within the Liberation Army has also been relieved to a certain extent, and there are not so many people shouting to Zhang Zhongyan every day.

Zhang Zhongyan's Fengxiang Army was cut down with the Chang'an refugees. Those who are willing to live in Chang'an can be placed in Chang'an, and those who are willing to go home can be rectified and go home with the army, asking local governments to accept them and be responsible for the aftermath matter.

what?
you are not willing?

Look at the army I brought!

This is armed immigration!

Those local officials who had surrendered to Zhang Zhongyan before and liked to play football in the event of an accident could not say a word of refusal to face the army of the Restoration Army and escort the refugees home.

Zhang Yuejing counted the places of origin of the refugees, and left some instructors and a small army in the county government where the refugees were from, and set up a resettlement office to supervise the local government in handling this matter.

As for the food needed to resettle the displaced people who have lost their homes, the Restoration Army will provide part of it, and the rest...

Zhang Zhongyan patted his chest and said that he was willing to transport the fined grain to the place where he needed it according to Zhang Yuejing's request, and he would bear the transportation cost.

Zhang Yuejing nodded with satisfaction, and set up money and food standards for the five counties to which many refugees and signing troops belonged, and ordered the local government to take responsibility to the end.

It takes considerable courage to say the word "no" in front of a sharp blade.

And these local officials who surrendered once obviously do not have such courage.

After the Restoration Army was reorganized, it arrived at Fengxiang Mansion in mid-July, and then divided into two groups, all the way to Jingzhou and all the way to Longzhou, and started the strategy again.

Having lost the main army and the unified command of the local government forces in the Jin Kingdom, they were unable to resist the advance of the Restoration Army. Except for a few hard bones, most of them surrendered to the wind and surrendered when they saw the arrival of the Restoration Army.

In this case, of course, it is impossible to fight without fighting, and try not to cause any losses to the local area, so as to reduce the pressure of future rule.

Zhang Yuejing's rule is to see if the other party is looking out for the wind, and if he does not surrender, he will send Zhang Zhongyan to persuade him.

However, there are not many local officials who can go through the first two procedures, so Zhang Yuejing even went to Jingzhou, Longzhou, Qinzhou, and Pingliang Prefecture, and only met Li Huai, the prefect of Qinzhou, in Chengji County, the capital of Qinzhou. Firmly resist.

He led the Qinzhou Frontier Guards and the Restoration Army to fight and did not surrender.

The key point is that this guy has the backbone, but the people around him tend to stretch their hips, and he has no military talent. After fighting for a long time, the fierce firepower of the Restoration Army made his subordinates unbearable.

So his subordinates did nothing, attacked him when he wasn't paying attention, tied him up, opened the city gate, and surrendered to the Restoration Army - if you want to die alone, don't pull us together!

All the Qinzhou frontier troops surrendered, and Qinzhou went down.

At the same time, Su Haisheng, who was with Jiang Liangping, led the army into Zhenrong Prefecture, where he encountered the last large-scale resistance of the Jin army.

The initiator of this resistance was Pu Lihei, the defense envoy of Zhenrong Prefecture. He advocated leading the army and the Restoration Army to fight to the death to serve the country, but Wuyan Pujanu, who had escaped, was unwilling, and advocated that Pu Lihei should be with him. Escape to the west.

"When the country is in crisis, it is people like you and me who need to stand up and turn the tide. At this time, you don't want to fight the enemy bravely, but you have to flee for your life. Can you be considered a person who is deeply favored by the emperor?"

Pu Lihei reprimanded Wuyan Pujanu, but Wuyan Pujanu was frightened by the power of the Restoration Army, so he still planned to run away and did not dare to fight against the Restoration Army.

So Pu Lihei did not do either, taking advantage of Uyan Pujanu's unpreparedness, he led an army to attack and kill Wuyan Pujanu, cut off his head, wiped out his personal guards, and showed him in his army. His head, telling everyone, this is the end of AWOL.

Wuyan Pujanu's army was shocked by Pu Lihei's agility and did not dare to resist, so it was incorporated by Pu Lihei.

Pu Lihei then rectified the army of [-] and advanced to Dongshan County, where he set up a battle and fought to the death with the incoming Liberation Army.
