Chapter five hundred and seventy-fifth southern disputes
Ying Zige lay quietly in Wang Yi's arms, and his frown calmed down little by little under the caress of Wang Yiyu's hand. Feeling the smoothness of the skin at the junction, Ying Zige let out a long breath,
The restlessness in my heart slowly dissipated.
Ever since his troops left Chang'an, swept through Bingzhou, attacked Yuan Shao, and established himself as the king of the north, Ying Zige has increasingly felt the price he has to pay for controlling a force, or in other words, being the supreme leader of a force.
Rights often go hand in hand with responsibilities.
Even though Ying Zige has the blessing of thousands of years of wisdom, plus the assistance of Baili Xi, Shang Yang, Guo Jia, Meng Yi, Jia Xu and other capable ministers and generals, he is faced with the changes and conflicts of the old and new laws, the new system and the old system.
On a series of issues such as integration and development, we often feel a little exhausted.
Yong, Liang, Bing, Ji, You, plus Hanzhong, Yingchuan and Sizhou that he had split off, there are six states and 51 counties, with a population of more than 14.4 million. According to Ying Zige
Understand that at this time, the people under his command
The number of people with registered residence has exceeded the number of people who were first established in the Han Dynasty, and is even three-fourths compared to the peak period of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty. It can be said that at this time, Ying Zige directly ascended the throne, and it was completely unreasonable to say that he was lonely, Taoist and few.
Suitable for the situation.
However, as the number of people increased and the territory expanded, people's hearts began to change.
Whether it is the wisdom accumulated through history or the inheritance left by the Ying family, they have taught Ying Zige many corresponding things.
Factions, bureaucracy, human relations and the legal system, culture and ideas, agriculture and commerce, wealthy families and poor students...etc., are all things that Ying Zige is about to face or has already begun to face.
Political power comes from the barrel of a gun, but you can never rely entirely on the barrel of a gun to govern a country. Ying Zige is very clear about this. If Yin Shi was the founder of the foundation, Ying Zige can still control everything and wipe out everything with absolute force.
, then as the forces under his command develop and grow, for the sake of stability and better development, Ying Zige knows that he can no longer easily use violence to solve problems, but must rely on systems and rules.
Otherwise, violence may be effective for a short time, but the huge damage and impact it will bring later is definitely not what Ying Zige wants to see.
Of course, just like Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Ying Zige would never put shackles on himself casually. He would really give up his strength and completely fall into the political whirlpool. When it was time to use force, he would never
It will be vague.
After all, the world has not yet been unified, and the times here are still in chaos.
Paying attention to the classics in troubled times is by no means an empty statement.
"Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao...the Central Plains, the South, even if the loneliness is temporarily suspended, you can't stop too..." Ying Zige's mind was flooded with thoughts, and his eyes opened slightly.
He opened it, looked at Wang Yi's jade cheeks and whispered softly: "My dear, let Nanfang move!"
.............
An autumn rain and a cold.
Midsummer has just passed, and the rain in early autumn has gradually increased. Especially in the south, the continuous rain from time to time is really not friendly to the conquering army.
The drizzle is hazy and continuous.
Outside Jiangxia City, Ji Ling Military Camp, at Shen Shi Moment, a man wearing armor, a bamboo hat, and a raincoat was walking quickly among the dense camp. From time to time, he arrived outside the Chinese military camp, stepped inside, and shook slightly.
Shaking off the raindrops stained on his body, he immediately bowed his hands to the superior in the tent and saluted, "General!"
"No need to be polite!" The person in the tent looked away from the topographic map on the table and waved his hand, "How is the situation?"
The visitor stood up straight, first carefully took off his coir raincoat and bamboo hat, and then he straightened his face and said: "General, after days of fighting, both the enemy and us are tired. The general has already explored the south gate of Jiangxia.
The terrain is relatively dangerous, and we have subconsciously avoided this place when attacking the city in the past few days. Now the guards at the south gate are obviously relaxed. We will only wait until nightfall, and the army will attack fiercely, and we will surely take it overnight!"
With a slight smile on his face, the man above stood up and walked forward. It was Yuan Shu's confidant general Ji Ling.
He patted the reporter on the shoulder with satisfaction, and the smile on Ji Ling's face became even wider, "Very good, Shidu, our lord is about to ascend the throne. As long as the Qin army does not go south, the northern defense line will be stable for a day. Only.
The attitude of Nanfang, especially Liu Biao, is most noteworthy. Therefore, the first line of defense in Huainan and Shouchun must be consolidated as soon as possible. Jiangxia is the last hurdle. It must be removed tonight to congratulate the lord!"
"Don't worry, general. The sons and daughters have eaten and drunk early and rested early. We will wait until tonight to kill his mother's Jiangxia soldiers!" The general known as Shidu said with a trace of fire in his eyes and patted his chest.
If Yuan Shu ascends the throne, wouldn't all the generals under them be able to become the founding ministers of the country? As for what they will face after the founding of the country, Shidu's ability and rank cannot be imagined that far away, but this does not hinder him and Yuan Shu's subordinates.
Most people have visions of a better future and understand that people are always in the minority.
Ji Ling nodded, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He turned around and looked at the situation map on the table without saying a word. He has been beaten too much by society and will always grow, not to mention that Ji Ling's own brain is not too bad.
As an important city in Jingzhou, Jiangxia has been the center of competition for Jiangdong and other places in the south since Sun Jian's lifetime and even later the founding of Soochow. Yuan Shu wanted to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Although there are Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others in the north, they have long been at odds with Heibingtai.
Yuan Shu, who contacted him, was actually not worried. Sun Ce was in Jiangdong. As long as Yuan Shu survived, he believed that with Sun Ce's temperament, he would not attack Huainan at will. The only person he had to guard against was Liu Biao of Jingzhou.
"My lord, I will capture Jiangxia for you tonight to consolidate the southern defense line and add another cornerstone to your great cause!"
As time passed, the hazy drizzle gradually became denser, and the sky became darker and darker. Ji Ling once again looked away from the desk, turned around and walked out of the tent, looking at the increasingly heavy rain and the dim sky with a cold expression.
"General!" There were personal guards waiting outside the tent, who wanted to step forward and put a coir raincoat and bamboo hat on Ji Ling.
"No need! Send orders to all the ministries to reorganize the army and seize the city according to the original plan in half an hour!" Ji Ling waved his hand, shouted in a deep voice, then turned and walked towards the other side. The weather is very important for wars in any era.
They are all one of the important factors that have to be considered. The current weather situation in seizing the city has its advantages, but it must also have its disadvantages. How to make the most of the advantages and abandon the disadvantages depends on the ability and arrangements of the generals who command the army.
.
The guards who were familiar with the previous arrangements and layout were startled, because this military order meant that the war was about to come, and it would be more than an hour earlier than the previous arrangements.
However, among this army, Ji Ling is unique. Unless Yuan Shu comes to give the order in person, there may be changes. At this time, all they need to do is obey. They immediately responded, turned around and quickly conveyed the order to everyone.
.
"Regulate the army now? Attack in half an hour?" Not only the guards were confused, but also the generals in the army were confused about Ji Ling's sudden order. "Could it be that he changed his mind temporarily because of the weather, fearing that it would continue to rain?
Is it too strong to climb the city wall and set up ladders?"
The smart person spontaneously gave a reasonable idea. Attacking the city on a rainy night has advantages and disadvantages, especially when facing an important city like Jiangxia. The siege equipment such as ladders and rams are all sharp weapons, and the rain provides cover at the same time.
, but it may also hinder the
At this time, the sky had darkened early due to the heavy rain. Although there were many puddles on the ground, it was not too soaked, making it difficult to move through the mud. Attacking the city at this time was not a possibility.
Not the best time.
If you think about it this way, Ji Ling's sudden orders and changes become so wise. On the battlefield, fighter opportunities are always fleeting. Can the commander of the army grasp this glimmer of opportunity on the unpredictable battlefield?
Fighter planes have become the benchmark for classifying generals into different levels.
"Everyone get moving, quickly send orders to everyone, gather together!"
"Gathered, gathered..."
However, both those who understood in their hearts and those who did not understand in their hearts did not hesitate at all and took action one after another. Flags, golden drums, chariots and horses, as well as the ladders and ladders that had been built in recent days were rolled out one after another. Simply
They covered themselves with some furs to protect themselves from the rain, then they gathered together with armor and weapons under the leadership of their respective generals and captains, and rushed towards the planned direction.
When it came to You time, approaching Xu time, the sky became darker and darker, and there were faint flashes of lightning and thunder. In the wilderness outside the south gate of Jiangxia, tens of thousands of troops gathered one after another. Ji Ling rode the middle army, wearing armor and hanging swords, and took advantage of the rain to give a decisive order, "
attack!"
"kill!"
On a rainy night, people kept killing people, and the river of blood gushed over the city.
Jiang Xia Chengjian and Liu Biao's soldiers were sharp. Naturally, they had their own defense preparations for the rainy night. However, in the face of Ji Ling's probing for days, painstaking planning, and even the sudden changes before the battle, they were unable to recover.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the resistance of Liu Biao's army, who was caught off guard, became weaker and weaker. Soon, with a thunder, Yuan Shu's elite attacked the south gate of Jiangxia and captured the south gate.
"Kill! The city lord's palace, the east gate, the north gate...take them all for me!" Killing the last Colonel Liu Biao who was stubbornly resisting, Ji Ling stood on the tower of Jiangxia South City and quickly issued the next step.
