At the time of Nong Zhigao's uprising, there was a widespread rumor in Guangnan that the Nong people were short of food and grass, and this wave of thieves could not last long.
Facts have also proved that the first two Nong uprisings were due to almost zero logistical support. The horses could eat grass when they were hungry, but the Nong people could only chew bark when they were hungry. There is no reason why they would not fail.
Except for Di Qing, no one among the senior generals of the Song Dynasty's imperial army who was marching south took Nong seriously.
In their eyes, the cattle and horses in the south may be valuable as production tools. These barbarians in the south are sold to other people's homes as slaves, and no one wants them at all!
The barbarians are wild and untamable, and they eat well and are lazy, the women are lazy and dirty, the men are drunk and violent, and they cannot communicate with the Han family. If they disagree, they will just copy the guy. It is really troublesome!
Everyone is guessing that this time, there must be an expert to give guidance among the Nong people!
'Have you ever found out who is serving as Nong Zhigao's military advisor? I've heard of it before, but this kid didn't have such great ability at all the previous two times!
Sun Jie said: "It is said that there is a failed scholar from Yongzhou named Huang Shimi. This person is making plans behind the scenes!"
Wu Xin was so angry that he threw the cup on the ground and said angrily: "These scholars in *** are the most useless. When they become officials, they don't make decisions for the people. When they fail the exam, they throw pots and bowls and forget to give birth to them." Which court is it!
The reason why Li Wuhao's strength soared overnight in Xixia back then was also because he got a failed scholar-Zhang Yuan!
Zhang Yuan was openly opposed to the Song Dynasty, but behind the scenes there was a little-known Zheng Zuliang. One helped Li Yuanhao fight, and the other helped Li Yuanhao with the economy. In a short period of time, the strength of the party members soared, and they dared to challenge the Song Dynasty. Be against!
Both of them have the same status. They were not welcomed in the Song Dynasty and could not get official positions, but they were treated as honored guests in Xixia!
This is also the truth that everyone knew after the Song-Xia War!
There were too many dissatisfied people in the Song Dynasty. Some of these people had great talents, but unfortunately they were unlucky. Once they were given a chance, they would make a big splash!
'According to research, Nong Zhigao's southern expedition was written by him! South Vietnam has been beaten to pieces. Many South Vietnamese people even fled from South Vietnam into the Song Dynasty. Guangnan was in chaos and South Vietnam was even more chaotic. It was all caused by this kid!
Sun Jie spoke vividly, as if the defeat was not his fault!
'With the help of such people, it's no wonder that Nong Zhigao's ambitions are so high!
Wu Xin's emotions became more and more complicated.
He has no ability to compare with South Vietnam.
This kid dared to lead people into South Vietnam and disrupted the court. This is not an easy task and cannot be accomplished without ordinary abilities!
He has followed Xia Song for so many years, and has learned to flatter him. His real fighting skills have not improved, but his drinking capacity has increased a lot!
'Where are the thieves now?
After the Nong thief captured Hengshan Village, he set fire to the county town. Along the Yujiang Lake and down the Youjiang River, most of the area east of Yongzhou fell into the hands of the thief!
Sun Jie found out a lot of news in one day!
In fact, there is no need for him to inquire about these information. There is already enough gossip from ordinary people!
Nong Zhigao deliberately spread the news to panic the officers, soldiers and people!
On the other hand, false news was spread everywhere that the Guangyuan Army was short of food, causing the officers and soldiers to think of the Guangyuan Army as underestimating the enemy!
'The Nong thieves invaded Hengzhou. Zhang Li, the governor of Guangnan, led troops from Pennsylvania to help. Chen Gong, the governor of the state, rewarded the sergeants on the city. Unexpectedly, the Nong people arrived in a blink of an eye and broke into the city! Officials from Chen Gong on down were captured or killed, no one was spared!
Everyone was shocked: 'How could it be so easy!
Sun Jie said bitterly: "When the thieves came, someone in the city responded and opened the city gate for the thieves. Therefore, Zhang Li and Chen Gong could not resist the enemy!"
'Subordinates listen
It is said that it was God's will that Nong Zhigao raised troops in Guangnan. An ancient Buddha statue was unearthed in Guangyuan. The ancient Buddha guided Nong Zhigao to raise troops to rebel. The people of Guangnan were bewitched by this and joined the ranks of Nong's thieves one after another. The people of Hengzhou Not knowing the truth, Nong Zhigao was the leader, so he rebelled against the Song Dynasty!
'What kind of Buddha statue is there really? Wu Xin heard this in disbelief and asked urgently!
'There really is a Buddha statue. It is said that this ancient Buddha burst out of the earth like bamboo shoots, growing about three inches in length every day. It actually popped out of the earth for several days in a row. Many people saw it with their own eyes! Many people even saw the Buddha’s light!
In ancient times, fighting was not just about the number of people and equipment, but also about a destiny!
In the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a phoenix coming to the ceremony, and in the Han Dynasty, there was a white snake uprising. The rulers always add a touch of mystery to themselves to increase their attractiveness. This is an old routine and the most effective one. The common people will accept it!
To defeat such people, we must find a more powerful story than others!
'It's nonsense. I have nothing to say if the Han people believe in Buddhism. Would they believe this? These barbarians can't even put on pants, how can they give Buddha a golden body with sesame oil? If the Buddha protects these barbarians, I will eat the Buddha statue!
Wu Xin cursed, looked at Sun Jie on the ground, helped him up, patted the dust on his body and said: "Brother has suffered!"
Wu Xin doesn't have many other advantages, but he doesn't have any airs, and the word "brother" is always on his lips!
Sun Jie breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and continued: "After the defeat of Hengzhou, the Nong thief took out the invitation form that he had originally submitted to Lu Zhihan, and bitterly stated that the court women were doing evil, and asked Chen Gong to help the Nong thief write to the court. Chen Gong refused, so he would Chen Gong was killed!
Everyone was shocked. Chen Gong's official position was not small, so why should he be chopped off?
Just listen to Sun Jie continue to say: "No one in the Lingnan states can resist the Nong bandits. Soon the Nong bandits will attack Guizhou, and the governor's secretary, Li Ju, will escape without a fight!" After the attack on Gongzhou, Zhang Xu, the Prime Minister of the Zhizhou Palace, escaped even faster. Li Zhi, the Zhizhou Zhi of Tengzhou, did not know where he was. Now even Wuzhou was occupied by the Nong thieves. The Zhizhou Jiang Zi refused to resist. Now, they are about to attack Duanzhou. Got it!
After hearing this, everyone couldn't sit still! They went south from Shuzhong, originally to prevent civil strife in Dali, but in response to the imperial decree, they changed their route to Guangnan to quell the rebellion!
They did not enter Guidi from Guangnan East Road. If so, then the first stop would be Duanzhou, and the capital of Guangnan would be Wuzhou!
The enemy has captured Wuzhou, and the next step is to march into Guangnan East Road!
The information they received at the beginning was that the Nong people had just occupied Yongzhou.
Yongzhou was in ruins when the South Vietnamese invaded, so there was no regret in being occupied. However, no one expected that the entire Guangnan would almost fall into the hands of the Nong people!
Most of the land to the west of Yongzhou is undeveloped and barbaric land with no value at all. The states in the east are the lifeblood of Guangnan. It's good now that none of these evil governors resisted and all gave up their cities to My dear, the thieves have conquered so many states and counties, it’s no wonder they are not strong!
After talking for a long time, no one could understand why Sun Jie was defeated!
Sun Jie himself said: "When we went south from Guizhou, we encountered the main force of the Nong bandits. They had detected the arrival of troops from the Song Dynasty and set up an ambush halfway. My five thousand front thousand traders went too deep and fell into the enemy's trap. Being hunted by thieves, most of them were killed and injured, and only half of them escaped!
Sun Jie was also unlucky. No one expected Nong Ren's strength. Not only the number of people, but also the deployment of their troops, no one can imagine that they have arrived in Wuzhou, and they thought they were operating under the nose of Pennsylvania. No matter who goes, they will suffer!
But this kid finally came back alive, and what happens next is not that simple. Wu Xin will definitely not send anyone to fight alone again!
'What do you think now?
'The strength of our imperial army is definitely higher than that of the Nong thieves. Although the Nong thieves have many people, they are all a mob. The only difference is that we are far away.
I came from the road, but I didn’t have a clear understanding of the enemy’s situation, and the intelligence was not clear. I thought that the general might as well station in Pennsylvania first to find out the true and false distribution of the enemy thieves, and then defeat them one by one!
The person who spoke was Chen Shu. This man was not as bumpy as Chen Jie, and his words were to the point. Wu Xin nodded after hearing this, and immediately looked at the other general and said, "Yang Wenguang!"
This general named Yang Wenguang doesn't talk much at ordinary times. He eats, drinks and has fun with a few people, but he feels a little unable to let go!
Because he felt that he had disgraced his ancestors!
His ancestor is none other than the famous Yang family general, his grandfather, Yang Yanzhao, whose red bloodline is guaranteed to be genuine!
Everyone behind the generals is somewhat arrogant!
But the decline of the Yang family is not as fast as usual. Others are declining like a cut-off, and they are declining like a jump. For no other reason than that most of the men in their family are dead!
For a family to prosper, it must have a large population. The more people there are, the greater the chance of producing heroes. From the death of the Yang family to Yang Wenguang's generation, it was basically a single generation. Although he was also capable, he could no longer compare with his ancestors. Everyone in the Yang family dreams of restoring the family's honor. This time, they spent a lot of money to get a spot in the Southern Expedition. Zhijun from the Deshun Army joined the Southern Expedition team. He was different from others. Likewise, if you can fight, you will have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds!
He is the one who knows how to fight better among this group of people!
Di Qing got real experience from fighting with the party members, and he got the experience from the books written by his family members!
'The end is here!
"General Sun Jie suffered a loss in the first battle, which has dampened our spirit. He deserves to be punished. However, since he has suffered this fault for the generals, he will first spare Dai Zui for his meritorious service. I want to give this merit to you and let you lead the people." Go down to Wuzhou to check the situation. You are a general and have been familiar with the art of war since you were a child. It shouldn't be a big problem!
As Wu Xin said, he has been born to fight since he was a child. He will never feel aggrieved. The Yang family has died so many times for the imperial court, and not one more of him will be killed. What is there to be afraid of!
'Thank you, General, I am willing to lead the troops there!
Wu Xin clapped his hands repeatedly and said: "Okay, we are indeed a tiger at the door!" This general is sending off General Yang!
After saying this, Wu Xin sifted a pot of wine and said, "Brother, take care. If I succeed in this project, I will definitely report it to the court to ask for credit for my brother!"
