Song Dynasty

Chapter 306 Battle Results ([-])

Immediately, Niu Gao was dragged down by the two executioners.

They said they were offended, and then each picked up a water and fire stick and hit Niu Gao's buttocks cracklingly.

At the beginning, Niu Gao was still worried, so he tensed his hip muscles.But after receiving two sticks, he didn't feel any pain.

The sound of hitting the stick was loud, but when it landed on the buttocks, it obviously stopped.

Niu Gao is a master of martial arts, why can't he feel it?

After a while, the twenty sticks were beaten.Except that the skin is broken and it feels hot, there is nothing wrong with it.

A guard grimaced: "General Niu, after you go down, apply some golden sore medicine yourself, and don't stick water until the scabs form. Fortunately, it's cold now, and it will be fine after a few days."

Niu Gao was grateful in his heart, and said in a low voice: "The two brothers are good at sticking."

Yes, being able to lift a weight with ease and control the force of the stick when it falls, this ability alone is already very remarkable.It can be known that the martial arts of these two people are good.

The man snorted: "The military envoy is discussing matters, let's go in!"

Niu Gao then limped into the hall.

Inside, Wang Shen was discussing with the generals of the various armies about taking prisoners and resting the troops.

Seeing Niu Gao coming in, he gave Niu Gao a cold look.

Seeing that Niu Boyuan was acting as usual, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.As a modern successful man with sophisticated human feelings, how could he not see the wink that Yan Yuemeng gave the executioner just now.

This Yan Yuemeng is really an elite person, and he can figure out his own thoughts, which is very easy for this person to use.

……

In fact, Wang Shen was also happy that Niu Gao could join him.Judging from historical data, this person is an excellent cavalry general.In real history, during the decisive battle between Yue Fei and Li Cheng, he used Niu Gao to lead the cavalry to attack the infantry formation of the Li family army.

Probably influenced by the Romance, Wang Shen originally thought that Niu Gao was just a rude and reckless man, someone like Zhang Fei.But after seeing the real person, he was shocked.

That's right, this person looks very rough, he is a person who dares to fight and rush.However, he was born in a local gentry, he has means and courage, he has also read a lot of books, he speaks in a gentle manner, and he can even sing with him, Wang Shen, poetry and wine, and his cultural level is not low.

That's right, in ancient times, reading was a very expensive thing to do.Local tyrants, who didn't learn the Four Books and Five Classics from an early age, and learn how to govern local civil affairs?Otherwise, it would be impossible for him, Niu Gao, to be a training envoy for the local regiment, and he could easily gather tens of thousands of people from two counties.

This kind of person with all-round talents in civil and military affairs is exactly what Wang Shen urgently needs. In the future when he goes to the Northern Expedition to recover Henan, Niu Gao will be the vanguard.As a famous person in the local area, as soon as he arrives and calls out from the top, the whole territory will naturally respond.

The reason why Wang Shen asked someone to push him out to chop him just now was just to show off his prestige.Now that everyone has interceded, it will naturally go downhill and no longer pursue it.

In his heart, this Niu Boyuan dared to be the butt of ridicule for a woman, and this kind of affection alone is also admirable.

It's just that Niu Gao's private release of Yang Yao made Wang Shen feel a little headache and helpless.

As far as he knew, in real history, after Kong Yanzhou used the same internal response strategy to completely cut off Zhong Xiang, Yang Yao escaped from the village with only a dozen followers as usual.

At that time, many people thought that all the leaders of the Manichaeism had been wiped out, and the chaos had been completely settled.Unexpectedly, as soon as Yang Yao escaped, there would be another riot within a year, and the scale was bigger than before.

He occupied the Dongting Lake area and faced off with the officials and troops of the Southern Song Dynasty, repeatedly defeating the encirclement and suppression of the Song army.Successively defeated Li Gang, Zhe Yanzhi, Wang Xie and others.In the end, the Southern Song Dynasty really had no choice but to send Zhang Jun and Yue Fei, and it took a lot of work to put down the civil strife in Shaoxing for five years.

During this period, Yang Yao seemed to be on the hook, people should kill people, and Buddhas should kill Buddhas.

The reason is that Yang Yao, without the restraint of Zhong Xiang, can finally show his ambitions and let go of his hands and feet.

It has to be said that this person is a hero.No, it should be said that it is a dragon among men.

If history can be assumed, it is assumed that during the Jingkang period, Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao led troops to Kaifeng Qinwang, fought for several years, and won the official position of the court.This Yang Yao may not have become a generation of famous generals like Yue and Han. He opened his teeth and built a mansion. On the side of Jiezhen, there will be one more person among the ZTE generals.

It's a pity that Yang Yao escaped today.

In Wang Shen's mind: Zhong Xiangqiuer, Yang Yao is the most terrible enemy of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Especially in this time and space without Yue Fei, once Yang Yao gets into trouble, no one else will be his opponent.

Wang Xie couldn't do it, Zhang Jun couldn't do it, and even Li Gangna couldn't do anything about it.If Liu Guangshi was replaced... With the combat style of the Huaixi Army and Little Liu Taiwei who turned into Rufeng, I am afraid that his death would not be too ugly.

Perhaps, Han Shizhong can only barely be Yang Yao's opponent?

It is conceivable that in the next five or six years, or even ten years, Zhao Gou really has nothing to do with Yang Yao, and the Huguang area is really going to be completely corrupted.

When Huguang is in chaos, Jianghan is unstable, and the Sizhou army will not be able to survive.

This time, when we went out to Hunan with the Wei army, we planned to cut off the troubles of Manichaeism.Unexpectedly, after killing a pig, Yang Yao, a tiger, was released from the cage.

While discussing with his subordinates, Wang Shen was thinking about how to deal with Yang Yao, who had escaped from birth and was about to start a prairie fire: the reason why the Manichaeism was corrupt was not only related to Yang Yao's peerless talent, but also to Yang Yao. It has something to do with the doctrine of life teaching being good at deceiving people.To completely pacify Hunan, there are only two means.One, like Kong Yanzhou in real history and Li Cheng in the present, completely killed all the people in Hunan and completely exhausted the manpower and material resources of the entire Hunan, leaving Yang Yao with no food to recruit and no soldiers to use.However, I am not a beast, how could I do such a thing?Once the reputation is bad, how will you fight for world hegemony in the future?

The second way is to appease the people and compete with Manichaeism for their hearts.

However, this is even more impossible.It takes a lot of resources to reassure people.Under the threat of Zhang Yong Cao Cheng and the Jurchen army in the north, it is impossible for him to stay in Hunan for a long time.

"It seems that there is really no way to deal with Yang Yao!" Wang Shen was having headaches.

Fortunately, if Yang Yao wants to think about something, he still needs to accumulate strength for a year. In a short time, Anlu's future troubles can be completely eliminated.

Fortunately, he finally won a hearty victory. The harvest was huge, but it could give him some comfort.

At [-] o'clock in the early hours of this morning, Zhong Xiang's palace was raided by Yue Yun and Niu Gao, and a raging fire ignited.

Seeing the fire on the mountain, Wang Shen led all the main forces to attack.The terrain of Lianyunzhai was dangerous, and the siege battle was once limited to scorching, and the bandit army on the mountain kept coming to help.

At this time, Chen Lanruo's spear tipped Zhong Xiang's head, shouting all the way down.

Seeing the head of their leader and seeing the fire on the mountain, the Manichaeans were in a panic. They dropped their weapons and ran around, unable to organize an effective defense anymore.

Lianyuan Village was completely captured by the Sizhou Army. Two thousand Beiwei, five hundred cavalry soldiers, and thousands of auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands rushed up the mountain like a tide to hack and kill.Kill everything they can see and loot everything they can.

More than 1 Manichean soldiers were killed and more than 3000 people were killed, and the rest became Wang Shen's prisoners.

In this battle, Wang Shen won more than [-] horses, thousands of mules, donkeys, cattle, and sheep, and countless grain, gold and silver. He won a complete victory.

A general stepped forward: "Military envoy, the last general has probably been screened. Excluding the old and weak, women and children, our army captured about [-] young and strong people. How to deal with them, please give me instructions from the envoy?"

Hearing so many prisoners, all the generals were refreshed.These are all soldiers with combat experience, according to the rules of the Sizhou Army.Prisoners are generally sent to concentration camps for unified training. After the training is completed, most of them will be enriched in the training of the local village valor group.And the most elite of them will supply the front-line combat troops.

At least 1000 people can be available for [-] young and strong, and your army can grow again.

Even Niu Gao didn't care about the pain in his buttocks, so he cheered up and looked over.Since he joined the Rusizhou Army, he only had one or two hundred people who came here from Henan together. If he can add a few hundred this time, he will be considered an army capable of going to the battlefield.

"I know you all want to replenish your troops. After all, we have few soldiers in Sizhou, and this kind of old soldier is the most rare. However, I advise you to give up this idea." Wang Shen said lightly: "These people adhere to the teachings of cults and confuse them. How to be willing to work for someone. I have also read Mingjiao scriptures, and every word on it says that those who do not believe in religion are demons. Killing the so-called demons can prove the way. For the sake of name, you can pretend to surrender when necessary, Xu It’s for the sake of it. The so-called people’s hearts are separated, even if the captives take refuge in our army, no one knows what they think. Therefore, these people are not worthy of trust.”

A general asked: "Military envoy, do you want to slaughter them all?"

There was a cold current in everyone's heart, and the Sizhou Army had never done anything to kill prisoners. This was five thousand lives!If they were all killed, the valley would be filled with corpses.

"No, it's ominous to kill prisoners, so I don't bother to do it." Wang Shen shook his head.

"Also ask the military envoy to show you."

"Since we don't kill them, we will release them all. However, before releasing them, I have to ask them to keep something." The sunlight projected on his face from the hole in the damaged roof, making the face half-shattered. Yin and half yang, it seems very scary.

"Are we going to cut off one of their hands or one of their legs..." Everyone gasped. If they lost an arm or a leg and couldn't go to work in the fields, these people would probably be starved to death by the roadside in the coming year when they were young. .

Wang Shen: "I wouldn't want to do such a cruel thing, but this matter is due to heaven and earth, so I can't do it. However, in order to prevent these monsters from taking up weapons and going to the battlefield to fight against me in the future, we only need to prevent them from running. That's it. Pass my order that all captives, young and old, have their toes cut off, and they will be given travel expenses and sent home."

Everyone said in unison: "The idea of ​​the military envoy is good."

Niu Gao also deeply believed that, yes, as long as the toes of the two feet of the captives are cut off, they will not be able to run with full legs, and of course they will not be able to serve as soldiers to fight.However, although it is inconvenient to walk, it does not affect the work in the fields.

He couldn't help thinking: Wang Junshi is really a benevolent person!
