Qiming 1158

Chapter 744 The person who cares about the people is dead
Han Wu came from a humble background and was not a big man. Although he knew how to dance with knives and guns, what Da Song sought after was a good man named outside Donghua Gate, not a dragon and tiger martial artist.

Therefore, Han Wu has been indifferent to others since he was a child, and he has never received anyone's attention, let alone mastery of power.

Now that I have turned over, I have finally become an overlord, I have finally turned over and become the master, and I have finally had everything I have today. Wouldn't it be a pity if I just gave up everything like this?
Nanchang is his foundation, Nanchang is everything to him, Nanchang is a symbol of his turnaround, and an opportunity for him to change his fate.

With Nanchang, he is the overlord.

Without Nanchang, he would be a bastard.

So when his life was in danger, Han Wu was very hesitant. He didn't know whether to run away or stick to Nanchang and stick to his honor and symbol of being an overlord, as well as his power.

This is a tough choice.

Han Wu was still hesitating, but because of Wu Dayan's failure, the floating of people in Nanchang City had triggered some chain reactions.

Already some people have tried to leave Nanchang and run south to try to survive.

This situation was reported to Han Wu by his cronies, and Han Wu suddenly panicked. He knew that if the hearts of the people were scattered, his overlord would not have to wait for Song Jun to come over to become a king. Therefore, he must control the city well, and everyone will Can't let go.

The situation in the city helped Han Wu make a decision. He realized how shallow his foundation as an overlord was, without any coercion, or even a chance to survive.

So he ordered his subordinates to gather the army, and then closed the city gate, and then decided to kill Wu Dayan in public, in order to declare his will to resolutely resist the Song army.

To say that this person is a bit skilled in walking the rivers and lakes, he thought of a way after a while, summoned all the subordinates who led the troops, and said something to them.

"We all came from poor people, and we never thought in our life that we would be able to enjoy so much money, houses and women, and eat such delicious food.

Things that we could not dream of in the past have been placed in front of us. After all this, are you still willing to go back to the poor mountains and bad waters to eat bran and swallow vegetables? "

When he asked this question, his subordinates, who were a little panicked, calmed down.

A group of people you look at me, I look at you, everyone showed a hesitant expression.

That's right, it's right to hesitate, everyone is reluctant.

It is precisely because I am reluctant that I have to work hard!

"If you don't want to, then you have to work hard. If you don't work hard, the best outcome for us is to escape into the deep mountains to eat bran and swallow vegetables. From then on, we will live like savages and have nothing. If we work hard, although we may lose, But it is also possible to win, win, and now some can be saved!"

Han Wu's face was full of excitement, and his words were extremely provocative.

The subordinates thought about what they had and enjoyed in this short period of time, those delicacies and beauties that they could never dream of, and such a big room, such a big bed, such a soft pillow... who Can you give up?
"Delicious food, interesting women, and a good house to live in, all of them come from fighting. They are willing to fight with me. If I have a piece of meat to eat, I will not let you drink soup, and do not want to fight with me. Yes, let's go now.

If we lose because we don't have you, you will be savages, and you will hide and hide for the rest of your life. If we win, don't come back to me. I don't know you guys who are treacherous and abandoned at critical moments Brother bastard! "

Han Wu's remarks completely moved most of his subordinates.

Only two people still chose to escape because they were too scared, and most of the others chose to stay and fight.

They informed their subordinates exactly what Han Wu said to them, and asked their subordinates to relay the words to their subordinates, and pass it on layer by layer, so that everyone who wanted to escape would think clear.

It's not always possible to live such a good life in one's life. If you don't have to fight with your life, you will never want to live such a good life again.

Food, money, beautiful women, and comfortable houses, if you don't have to fight with your life, you will soon be snatched back by Song Jun!
After a while of chaos, the military heart in the city gradually stabilized. For the sake of delicious food, beautiful houses, and the land that belonged to them, they decided to fight for their lives.

Han Wu immediately held a military meeting and made a decision to stick to Nanchang.

In addition, he immediately sent people south to contact the rebels from all over the country, asking them to go north to support and defeat the Song army together for the sake of being a rebel.

If Song Jun is not defeated, everyone will be finished sooner or later. If Song Jun is defeated, we can do whatever we want. So, for the sake of us all rebelling troops——

Pull brother a hand!
Han Wu did not pin all his hopes on the support of the rebels, but also did some work on the city defense of Nanchang, and implemented tactics of fortifying the surrounding areas and clearing the fields.

In the end, in order to be safe, he asked his most trusted subordinates to dig a tunnel from the inside of Nanchang to the outside of the city in his residence. Ueno's life.

He didn't want others to be savages, but he was willing to be savages. If everyone wanted to be savages, he wouldn't have the chance to be savages.

Such military preparations were carried out until Qi Fang's army arrived in Qiaoshe Town, a river away from Nanchang.

The sentry of the Overlord's army and the sentry of the Song army fought a battle, and they fought evenly.

At this time, on the third day of the eighth lunar month, Wu Gong marched forward with great success, penetrated the Linjiang Army, conquered Qingjiang County, and was besieging the last remaining soldiers of Liu Laosan's command in Zhangshu Town.

And Han Bawang knew nothing about this and was confronting Qi Fang's army.

Seeing that the Bawang Army had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, Qi Fang led his army through the Ganshui River carefully and gradually surrounded Nanchang City, while the Bawang Army in the city was still waiting in full force, as if he was determined to fight a complete siege. battle.

So Qi Fang went to Nanchang City to investigate the situation in the city in person, and to have a preliminary understanding of Nanchang City Defense.

"What is written on the flag on the city head? Can you see it?"

Qi Fang circled around Nanchang City and was very interested in the content of the flag on the city's head.

The subordinate with good eyesight told him that the banner on the top of the city was written with the word Overlord, which may be the title of a thief.

"Overlord? It's funny, the first overlord was the overlord of Western Chu, who died at the hands of Liu Bang, but failed. The second overlord was the little overlord of Jiangdong, and he was killed by the assassin after he failed.

It can be seen that the title of Overlord is ominous, or in other words, no one can afford this title except for the real Overlord. I didn't expect a third Overlord to come, but I don't know how this third Overlord died. "

Qi Fang sneered for a while, and ordered the army to prepare to attack the city. At the same time, he sent people from all directions to investigate the movements of the rebels in the surrounding area, so as not to have the rebels come to help and he did not know.

Although the rebels from all sides have their own plans, it cannot be ruled out that some people will come to the rescue out of the idea of ​​​​death.

On the fourth day of August, Li Dao led 2 troops south to Luling, and successfully conquered Luling City, which was garrisoned by only 3000 people. Zhang Xiaohu, who controlled the area, was caught off guard.

Zhang Xiaohu was originally attacking Guiyang, but when he heard the news that the Song army was heading south, he immediately led the army back to help, but did not catch up.

As soon as his large army arrived in Wan'an County, Luling City fell, and the entire defending army was annihilated, and only a few escaped from the siege.

After Li Dao captured Luling, he allowed his soldiers to plunder for a day. The Song army soldiers under his command devastated Luling in one day. Except for not being allowed to set fire, they did everything else.

One day later, the negative emotions of the Song soldiers due to long-term travel and high-pressure governance were released. They were very satisfied with the general and were willing to continue to listen to his orders and continue to fight.

Li Dao, who is well versed in "the way of using soldiers", has long forgotten what it means to freeze to death, not demolish houses, starve to death, and not be kidnapped. He only knows to use the most conventional and effective method to command the army, which is good for himself and for the soldiers.

As for whether it's good for the people... who cares?
The person who cared about the people had already died, for a long time, until Li Dao had forgotten what that person looked like.

So Li Dao continued to lead his troops south, preparing to retake Taihe County.

Zhang Xiaohu hurried to Taihe County and set up his defense immediately, but the forward troops failed to fight the Song Army's forward troops due to excessive fatigue, and were quickly defeated. More than 1000 people were killed, and the defeated troops fled back to Taihe County. .

So Taihe County's rebel army was shaken.
