Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 253 The Bloody Executioner
Cai Gengdao was quite embarrassed facing Wang Xiu. During the siege of Liguo, he withdrew his troops, fearing that Song Jiang would not be able to take down Liguo and deal with him.

Thousands of bandits approached Xuzhou, and he couldn't bear it.An emergency was sent to Guantang almost every day, and the reinforcements from the west of Beijing unexpectedly gathered in Pengcheng, and he gradually calmed down, and analyzed that this was Wang Fu's scheme.However, he was really afraid of the mighty combat power of the Songjiang tribe, so he did not forcefully ask for reinforcements to go northward. A mere seventy miles or so became a moat, and he sat and watched Wang Xiu struggling hard.

Wang Xiu unexpectedly summoned Song Jiang, a big crisis turned into a big embarrassment, and he also became Zhao'an's envoy, how could he have the face to meet Wang Xiu?

The imperial edict did not specify the number of troops for Wang Xiu, but several guards, under the instruction of Wang Fu, were eager to go north to grab fruit and eat it. In order to redeem a little good relationship with Wang Xiu, he strictly ordered the reinforcements not to enter the territory of Liguo. Send some soldiers and horses to station.

Wang Xiu gave priority to the selection of Guantang, which was material for soldiers, and he also approved it. They are all the fruits of their victory, and it makes sense to let them eat first.

Wang Xiu understood Cai Gengdao's kindness, and he didn't mean to blame Cai Gengdao. What he said now was fart, and it was true to snatch the fruits of victory.

The selection of elite soldiers is very simple. With Li Guojian soldiers and horses as the core, he formed a thousand elite cavalry, and added Feng Yuan, Jing Bo, and Qiu Yun to the army, and became military envoys who were not generals. Another [-] soldiers were drawn to form four commanders, a total of six command core troops, led by Qiu Fu and Shangguanqian.

Song Jiang has too many tribes, he can't keep them all, and he has to save some soup for others, otherwise it will cause public anger, don't look at these people who are obsessed with fighting, his mother's grabbing fruit is better than anyone else.

More than 8000 people left more than [-] people, all of whom were the elite core team of Song Jiang and others.As for those excellent armored battles, I'm sorry, I'll collect them all for your own use. If you don't contribute to share the benefits, forget it. If you want other things, let's save it!

In this way, Wang Xiu formed an army of more than [-] people, almost equivalent to a medium-sized general in the Western Army, and few people spoke.Everyone is more or less beneficial. They really dealt with it, and they feel ashamed of taking things by themselves.

Since Wang Xiu was going south to fight, Youqin Moyan understood the righteousness very well. Under Qin Xianrong's gracious invitation, the two daughters went to Tokyo together. As for whether she and Wen Xijun could get along well, it was out of Wang Xiu's consideration.

However, Wang Qingzhu hurried over from Tokyo, and Lu Yao also came. They had to set up the Wang family's iron smelting workshop and mine. According to Wang Xiu's suggestion, Wang Qingzhu focused on buying iron ore and coal mines. , this thing is a resource!Only by mastering the resources can we engage in mass production.

She is also very reluctant to let her brother go to war, but she also understands that this is her brother's future, but she has always told her to take good care of herself when going out, completely forgetting that her brother is the commander-in-chief of the first army.

Wang Xiu felt a burst of warmth at the old sister's nagging, he patiently listened to Wang Qingzhu's explanation, and gave her another big lesson on resources.

There was another unexpected thing, Lu Tianshou survived, he found Wang Xiu recklessly.

Wang Xiu wasn't surprised at all, asked the other party's wish, and immediately sent someone to send Lu Tianshou to Tokyo.

"Da Lang, could it be that he let the tiger go back to the mountain? This kid Zhang Qiyuan is attached to the crown prince, and it has become a trend. Lu Tianshou obviously still has resentment. I'm afraid they are colluding in embarrassment." Qiu Fu said worriedly.

Wang Xiu frowned, and said indifferently: "Why did you kill the dog? He is still useful. Don't worry, uncle, I know it well."

This newly formed army did not stop, and arrived in Jiangning at the end of December, very fast.

At this time, Fang La's army captured Hangzhou. Knowing that the situation in Hangzhou was not good, Zhao Zhen abandoned the city and fled. Even Cai Jing's ancestral grave was excavated, and the bones of his ancestors were soaked in the road and trampled on.

Wang Xiu and Zhong Liqiu talked at night by candlelight, and on the second day they took Zong Liang with him to be the writer of power and opportunity, and hurried south.

In the first month of the third year of Xuanhe, he crossed Huzhou and entered Xiuzhou. Facing Fang Qifo's army of tens of thousands, he took the initiative to attack without hesitation. The rest of them restrained Fang La's sad attempt, and thus became famous in one fell swoop.

He led the army to fight on the front line of Huzhou and Xiuzhou, and persisted until the vanguard of Wang Zhi's East Army arrived, defeating Fang Qifo's [-] army in one fell swoop.

In February, he surrounded Hangzhou with Tong Guan's main force, and personally led Qiu Fu's troops to raid the formation with more than a thousand cavalry.The Fang La tribe originated in the south, and they were short of horses. His powerful army, which has gone through the bloody battle of Liguo, is all dressed in full armor, which can be said to be like armored riding gear. Fang's soldiers are poorly equipped, so how can they be their opponents.

Wang Xiu and Qiu Fubing broke through the Fang army's formation in two ways, entered three times and went out three times, and then joined forces at the moat of the north gate, and then passed through the mighty Bocheng. .

In the battle against Fang La's counterattack against Hangzhou, Tong Guan entrusted him with a heavy responsibility to control Wang De, Han Shizhong and other troops, and fought against Fang Jun in Xixing Town.

He also centered on the heavy cavalry, with crossbowmen pressing forward step by step, and more than a thousand cavalry made a big roundabout.When the cavalry circled behind Fang's army, Fang La's defeat was set. More than [-] soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and more than [-] were beheaded.

In April, Fang La was completely defeated, and the Song armies from all walks of life met in Gangyuan. Fang La led more than [-] soldiers and their families to fight against the trapped beasts.

Although Wang Xiu's troops suffered heavy losses, they were still used as the main force. There were still more than [-] soldiers in Song Jiang's original army, and there were less than [-] remaining soldiers from more than [-] brothers. shock.

Feng Yuan, Jing Bo, and Qiu Yun shined brilliantly, and were turned into generals by Tong Guan, Wang Ti and others, especially Jing Bo, who rode alone in a thin formation, and shot his arrows into a hedgehog, still struggling forward, eventually causing Wu The defeat of the state army.

In the last battle, Wang Xiu asked his troops to start killing. If you have the ability, grab it for me, as long as you can kill Fang La for me, even Tong Guan was surprised by his murderous intentions.

More than 30 Song troops wiped out more than [-] Fang troops after a bloody battle, and captured more than [-] people including Fang La, his wife Shao Shi, Zi Fang Bo, and Prime Minister Fang Fei.

The soldiers of the Song Army did all sorts of crimes, burning, killing and looting, especially Wang De, Han Shizhong and others massacred women and children, and looted money.

Wang Xiu became famous in the first battle, and his troops also gained a lot. The soldiers and horses who went south from Liguo were compiled as Jingdong No.90 Eight Generals. From the official position of the Nine Ranks Forbidden Army.

He himself has made outstanding military exploits, and Tong Guan praised him greatly, praising him. Without Wang Xiu, both Xiuzhou and Huzhou might be lost. It could have ended so quickly.

It has to be said that Tong Guan is speaking in the middle, and he is not jealous of Wang Xiu's military exploits, and of course there is no need to be jealous, on the contrary, he is quite protective of him.

There is already a censor ready to impeach. Wang Xiu's military discipline was very bad during the war. Although he did not plunder the people on a large scale, the opponent was extremely cruel.His troops had no prisoners, and they had to kill them in almost every battle. As a result, Fang Jun's soldiers all turned pale when they heard about the Jingdong army. This kind of cruel behavior is inhumane, but Wang Xiu has some difficulties.

After development, Fangla claims to have a population of one million, and it also occupies a favorable location and harmony. Once the climate is formed, it may be overwhelming and cause nationwide riots.Moreover, he had just arrived, and facing the [-] troops of the Seven Buddhas, he had to take action to fight. Everything had to be lightened, and keeping no prisoners was the best choice.

In the later period, it was also because Fang La was powerful and Song Junli was making quick decisions. Wang Xiu decided to use killing as a commandment, using iron and blood killing methods to destroy the morale of Fang's soldiers, so as to achieve the purpose of destroying the enemy's fighting courage.

This trick is indeed very effective. Wang Xiu has been crowned with the title of bloodthirsty, and even this army is also famous. The soldiers of the Fang army who pass by are frightened, and often dare not confront them, and their momentum is weaker. .

When he went back, he passed by Jiangning Mansion, saw Zhong Liqiu again, he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Sir, I've already got a bad reputation, I really don't know how to face Jiangdong's elders."

Zhong Liqiu's face was serious.Seriously said, "The two armies are fighting fiercely. Fang La has millions of people and is arrogant. A benevolent and righteous teacher can only make mistakes. It is normal for you to be decisive on the sofa. Just do great things with a clear conscience."

For the elites of the society, to govern the country and bring peace to the world, and realize their ambitions, as long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, as long as they think it is right, the people can be sacrificed.Wang Xiu understood this truth, he was subtly adapting, and said quietly: "What the master said is, it is a pity that the killing was too heavy, 20 people were slaughtered, the mountains and rivers were completely wiped out, I am afraid I will fall into the hell of Abi. "

"For your family and country, what crime do you have?" Zhong Liqiu sighed lightly, and said: "Don't worry about it anymore, let's plan something for yourself, you are too popular."

Wang Xiuran, in order to win, he chose drastic means, which is also the most correct strategy in his opinion. Whether it is strict military law or unlimited killing, it makes people look at him. There is also a fuss to be made, especially the killing of Wu Haoming, the cause and effect of this is not small.

"Old Xunxi is good. He got a lieutenant general based on his military exploits. Well, it's very good. Those three boys will be a quick prospect in the future, but they have to be carefully crafted to become a weapon." Zhong Liqiu ignored Wang Xiu's thoughts and talked freely.

Wang Xiu couldn't help but smiled wryly, looked at Zhong Liqiu and said, "Sir, I'm too eager for quick success, the future will be difficult! I hope you can teach me."

"You understand too! I thought you didn't care." Zhong Liqiu smiled narrowly, with a carefree look on his lips.

Wang Xiu's mouth was filled with bitterness, and she said, "Should I stay or go?"
