Chapter 578 The first hero of the new dynasty
The saying that good and evil will be rewarded is actually often just people use lines of self-comfort. After all, there is also the saying that murder and arson are the golden belt.
It is true that some people have committed evil and died in their lives.
But no matter what, good and evil are always in people's hearts. God will not give retribution to these evil people, so Lin Zhao can only give retribution to them.
After arriving at the Dizhou Governor's Mansion, Lin Zhao first looked through the detailed information about the Jingsai Army sent by Zheng Ya, including the current location of the Jingsai Army, as well as the character and deeds of Wu Shen.
This naturally includes Wu Shen's various bad deeds.
After all, Lin Zhao was a serious Jinshi, and after a few years of experience in a mountainous place where documents were written in the school, he still read the things very quickly. He only took a stick of incense to read them briefly. After reading them, even with Lin Zhao's psychological quality, he couldn't help but get angry.
This Wu Shen is not only lustful but also has an extremely cruel personality. He will kill everyone at any time. Moreover, it is difficult for women who have been ruined by this person to escape from his clutches alive.
According to the information in Lin Zhao, this person's bad deeds in Fan Yang were ignored. In the more than a year after Fan Yang's rebellion, there were more than 30 women who died at Wu Shen's hands, and often the whole family had no good ending.
This is just the news that people from Datong Business have found. In fact, how many innocent women died at the hands of this person, I'm afraid even Wu Shen himself can't explain clearly.
"This beast!"
Lin Sanlang threw the information in his hand aside and gritted his teeth: "If I had known that it was such a beast, I would not even let Cangzhou go to them. If I had occupied Cangzhou, I would not know how many people would die under my rule!"
Zheng Ya, who was standing beside him, lowered his head to pick up the information and sighed: "It shouldn't be. Although Wu Shen is fierce and violent, he doesn't touch women when fighting. From the beginning of the war to the end of the war, he is not close to women."
Lin Zhao nodded and felt a little relieved.
He sat on his chair, thought for a while, and said, "In addition to Wu Shen from the south, does the army that attacked Youzhou from the north have any detailed information?"
Lin Zhao is the general manager of Qingzhou, and is also the supreme commander of more than a dozen states, including Qingzhou Youzhou. Therefore, he cannot only focus on Qingzhou Dizhou, but also on Wu Shen, the Jingsai army. He must also pay attention to another army at all times.
"In addition to Wu Shen from Jingsai Army, the other one is Zhang Yan from Hengyang Army. I have also sent someone to investigate Zhang Yan. He is quite gloomy. He is a famous Confucian general in Fanyang Army. He is scheming and smart and fickle when fighting."
Speaking of this, Zheng Ya lowered his head slightly: "But Hengyang Army is not ranked high among Fanyang Army and is ranked seventh among the Nine Army."
"With Uncle Pei's ability, and with Youzhou there are also many gunpowder and firearms, I believe that even if Uncle Pei cannot defeat the thief army, there will be no problem in defending Youzhou."
"That's OK."
Lin Zhao narrowed his eyes and whispered: "I also believe that General Pei can defend Youzhou. Since that's the case, let's ignore Zhang Yan for the time being and fight Wu Shen, who is the Jingsai Army, for all his might."
Speaking of this, Lin Zhao snorted angrily: "Kang Dongping used this evil fang as a general. No wonder he made the heavens angry and the others resentful in such a short time. With such a vision and insight, no matter how fierce Fan Yang's army is, it will definitely end up in ashes!"
………
The Jingsai army only stationed in Leling for one day. The next day, just as the sky was dawn, and the strong Wu Shen led his army to set off from Leling and headed south.
Leling was right next to Dizhou. The army only walked half a day before entering Dizhou.
After entering Dizhou, the scout camp commander of the Jingsai army immediately found Wu Shen, who was riding a horse in the central army. The scout camp commander bowed and said with a respectful voice: "General Wu, we have entered the territory of Dizhou. In front of us is Yangxin County in Dizhou. Take Yangxin and go south, the city of Dizhou is Yanci."
Although Wu Shen has many shortcomings in character, he will devote himself to the war when encountering war without distraction. This is one of the reasons why Kang Dongping still uses him even if he acts like this.
Wu Shen rode on the horse, squinted his eyes and looked at the scout, and said lightly: "How far is our army now from Yangxin? How far is the distance between Yanci?"
Fan Yang's army was all from border troops, and the military quality of the army was enough. The scout immediately bowed and said, "Return to the general, our front army is only about forty miles away from Yangxin, and the distance between Yanci, and less than two hundred miles away."
Wu Shen rode on the horse, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then took out a sheepskin map from his arms and took it in his hand to look at it carefully.
There were no scientific drawing skills in this era, and these Fan Yangjun would not spend as much effort to make maps as Lin Zhao. Therefore, the map in Wu Shen’s hand was very rough, basically just a few lines plus a circle and marked with place names, which was considered a map.
While marching, Wu Shen stared at the map for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "I'll waste time if I don't go to Yangxin."
He looked at the commander beside him, and his voice was heavy: "The command of the commander of the general is to drive the south with all his might. Today, before the sun sets, you must march fifty miles. Two days later, the former army must drive to the city of Dizhou!"
At this time, it was almost noon. The marching speed of infantrymen in this era is about fifty or sixty miles a day on weekdays. If you have to walk fifty miles in half a day, it is already considered a "forced marching".
Even border troops like Fan Yang's army would be a little overwhelmed and would take some time to rest.
Wu Shen did this just to attack Dizhou by surprise. After eating Dizhou City as fast as possible, there would be no threat in his rear. At that time, he could attack Qingzhou from Dizhou City and quickly end the war.
According to his information, there should be thousands of defenders in Dizhou City at this time, but these defenders were basically recruited for a few months. And half of the Jingsai Army is now the real border troops of Fan Yang. Moreover, the number of Jingsai troops is also superior, so Wu Shen did not take Dizhou seriously at all.
In his opinion, Lin Tanhua from Qingzhou was extremely stupid.
If Lin Zhao transferred all his troops back to Qingzhou at this time, he might be able to defend under the offensive of the Jingsai Army for a period of time with the advantage of A's number. However, now Qingzhou and Dizhou have defenders, and there are many defenders in Dizhou, with thousands of them.
This undoubtedly greatly dispersed the garrison power of Qingzhou, which made Wu Shen quite happy.
Originally, according to his estimate, it would take one to two months for his Jingsai army to capture Qingzhou. Now the Qingzhou defenders are scattered, if it goes well...
"Half a month is enough."
Wu Shen looked in Yanci's direction with bright eyes.
"I can even chew off Luoyang. A small Qingzhou... will only be the military achievements of my Jingsai Army."
He took a deep breath and his tone became a little enthusiastic.
"After taking down these Qingzhou rebels, I will be... the first hero of the new dynasty!"
