Xu Zongwen held a Hongmen Banquet and killed all the 50 Dingling and Wubao masters. After hearing the news, the Wubao masters outside Xingyang were all in panic all day long. They rushed to send Xu Zongwen letters begging for surrender, fearing that they would Beixu Zongwen, the murderer, was on his radar.
Pei Qing and Xi Jian galloped between Dasuo and Guancheng in two days, attacking dozens of Wubao. It was a rapid advance. After Xu Zongwen sent the heads of the Wubao masters over, he looked at Wu Ya. Pressed by the fine cavalry, more than a dozen Wubao surrendered. Then Pei Qing and Xi Jian divided their forces to attack the remaining Wubao.
"The Qing Dynasty destroyed Dinglingwu Fort near Xingyang and obtained a total of 30,000 kilograms of gold, more than 100 million yuan in money, a thousand pairs of fine armor, more than 300 crossbows of various types, 100 beauties, 5,000 hectares of land, and 3,000 well-equipped men. …”
Five thousand hectares of land, that’s half a million acres of land!
Good guy, these fort owners are really rich!
Xu Zongwen really didn't expect that the owners of Wubao in these places had so much wealth, but thinking about it conversely, the Hu people had harmed the Han family for sixty years, so the accumulation of this wealth was nothing.
"Put it all into the treasury and register it in the book. These are the seizures of our Xu Department. Even if the General of Chariots and Cavalry comes, he must keep them for me. Do you all understand?"
Xu Zongwen was brave for a rare moment. Since he took charge of the army, all the servants he ordered had basically either rewarded the sergeants or turned them over to Zhu Xu. He had never withheld them even once. This time he had to prepare some of these extraneous things for himself.
"No!" Tian Luo, Zhang Gui and others looked at each other and smiled. They all said that the general is a gentleman and does not care about money. This time he will break the rules.
"By the way, as for those women, let them go home by themselves!"
"They are all poor people."
Xu Zongwen stopped and waved his hand. He was going out of the city to hand over the defense to the cavalry general Xie Xuan, and was ready to set off immediately to attack Jijun northeast of Xingyang.
"promise!"
…
"General of Chariots and Cavalry! Governor!" Xu Zongwen led his troops across the Bianshui River, went north to the Yellow River, and personally dismounted to greet Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan got off the boat and waved to Xu Zongwen to say hello: "General Xiaoqi, we haven't seen you for a few days, but we meet again."
After the Battle of Yongqiu, Xu Zongwen went south to Xiangyi with Huan Yi to meet Xu Zongwen in Suiyang.
Xie Xuan was amazed at the rapid growth of this small army commander under his former command. In just half a year, Xu Zongwen was promoted to an unknown number of levels. He simply set a new record for the fastest promotion of a lieutenant general in the Jin Dynasty. Record!
Today, Xu Zongwen has 20,000 men. Shen Yu and Zheng Lue lead 6,000 men to attack Wang Xiu in Linqiu City. Zhuge Kan has 5,000 men to guard Luoyang City. Xu Zongwen personally leads 5,000 men to guerrilla and fight in the Central Plains. The remaining Four thousand disabled people stayed in Linzi and were properly accommodated.
But with just 10,000 troops, Xu Zongwen was able to capture Luoyang City, capture Yuzhou Mu and Pingyuan Gong Fuhui alive, and regain the old capital.
In the Battle of Yongqiu, he also defeated the Guanzhong Army and the 100,000-strong coalition forces from Taiyuan and Yecheng. He personally shot and killed the Qin Army's commander, Zhenjun General Mao Dang, and solved the siege of Yongqiu. Indirectly, he helped Xie Xuan defeat Zhang Chong, the governor of Yanzhou. !
"General Chariot and Cavalry, you should teach me Zongwen! What generals are, aren't they all your army commanders?" Xu Zongwen stepped forward to lend a hand, and Xie Xuan landed from the hanging ladder.
Xie Xuan smiled and pointed at Xu Zongwen and said: "You boy, I never noticed before that you are sharp-tongued and eloquent!"
"More than being sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued, how can I, Xu Xiao, be where I am today without relying on your support, general?"
"You are blaming me for being blind and not promoting you in the first place!"
Xie Xuan knew that he was not a bole, and did not recognize Xu Zongwen, a thousand-mile horse beside him.
Fortunately, Zhu Xu discovered Xu Zongwen's general talents, and this step by step brought Xu Zongwen to where he is today.
"How dare my subordinates blame the general?"
"So which one is your target this time?" Xie Xuan asked, looking at Xu Zongwen who was standing with his hands clasped in a respectful manner.
Xu Zongwen said slowly: "First capture Ji County, and then launch an attack from Murong Chui's side, so that Murong Chui will be attacked from both sides of Yecheng..."
"But before that, I still hope that the general will be stationed in Xingyang to calm people's hearts."
After thinking about it, Xie Xuan felt that Xu Zongwen's idea was roughly the same as his, so he nodded: "Don't worry about Xingyang. You can go north and east, but your rear area will be handed over to this general."
"Thank you, general!" Xu Zongwen was very respectful. With Xie Xuan guarding Xingyang, he was really relieved.
After the handover with Xie Xuan, Xu Zongwen's team had not yet set off, and huge changes occurred in Luoyang!
Xu Zongwen received the urgent report from Zhuge Kan. Zhang Hao, the hussar general of Qin who was guarding Taiyuan and assisting Guangping Duke Fu Xi, led his army southward and raided Luoyang. The city of Luoyang was in danger!
"Wars have always been full of contingency and suddenness, and there are few wars in which both sides are fully prepared."
“Planning cannot keep up with changes.”
“If things change and remain unchanged, they will suffer chaos.”
"If we advance according to the original plan, attacking city by city, the advancement speed will be too slow!"
"Now that Luoyang is under siege, we can't go back to the old path."
Xu Zongwen's method of using troops is to take advantage of them when they are defenseless, attack them when they are unprepared, take advantage of them, and attack them to win!
"General, do you mean to give up the attack on Ji County and attack Yecheng with all the troops lightly armed?" Xi Jian raised his head and met Xu Zongwen's eyes.
Xu Zongwen raised the corners of his mouth, Xi Shouyue was Xi Shouyue, and he immediately guessed what he was thinking!
"Canglanglang!" Xu Zongwen unsheathed his sword, with a murderous look on his face. He said loudly: "Mr. Auxiliary Machine, please immediately write a letter to the Chariot and Cavalry General. I want to ask him to do his best to help. If there is a Chariot and Cavalry General in the siege of Luoyang, If we personally lead the troops to relieve him, then we don't have to worry about Zhuge Kan's safety. If Zhang Hao wants to take Luoyang, he must compete with the generals of chariots and cavalry, so we will take the opportunity to go north and give it a try to compete with Murong Chui. …”
Xu Zongwen met for a while and said that Murong Chui was fake, disrupting the Yan army to attack Yecheng, and rescuing Fu Pi was real.
As long as the brothers Fu Pi and Fu Xi are still there, the Qin army in Hebei will not be able to completely surrender to Murong Chui, and the Xianbei people's plan to revive the Yan Kingdom will be far away.
The longer it takes Murong Chui to pacify Hebei and Guandong, the longer the Jin army will stay in the regained lost territory, which means that the Jin army's strength will be more consolidated in the newly occupied areas!
After Murong Chui completely cannibalized the Qin army, it would not be so easy to turn around and try to deal with the Jin army.
"General Chariot and Cavalry has just entered Xingyang, will he send troops immediately?" Zhang Gui asked.
Xu Zongwen waved his hand, turned his face and affirmed: "Yes, he will definitely save Luoyang!"
The more senior a person is, the more likely they are to seize opportunities, let alone an outstanding commander like Xie Xuan?
Xu Zongwen believed that Xie Xuan would send troops to Luoyang in time to relieve Zhuge Kan's siege!
