Chapter 274

Liu Jiajun's original combat mission was to follow Zhu Dadian, governor of water transport and governor of Fengyang, to recover Fengyang. However, because of the civil uprising in Dengzhou, they urgently called back and were responsible for calming the civil uprising in Dengzhou.

At that time, the idea of the imperial court was that they could calm down the Dengzhou civil commotion. How dare they say that it is a problem to limit when they can calm down, and even whether they can calm down, so they were not given additional tasks. Their only task is to calm down the Dengzhou civil commotion.

Who knows that Liu Jiajun's calming the Dengzhou civil uprising is like cutting tofu with a sharp knife. After they finished it in just a few days, Liu bu also understood that they Liu Jiajun had controlled this place, and it was time for them to export their strength to the outside world, so they decided to join the ranks of exterminating the exiled bandits and train their troops in the battle.

If their main force now moves south, it is estimated that they can't keep up with Zhu Dadian's main force, and the roving bandits they chase have one characteristic, that is, the roving bandits are floating from east to west. When the officers and soldiers come, they flee, and if the officers and soldiers can't catch up, they attack a city.

Liu Bu's army has a staff headquarters. Through research, their staff headquarters came to a conclusion that if they chase after the bandits, their Liu family army will eventually be dragged down. Therefore, if they want to eliminate the bandits, they must be original and come up with different tactics, that is, predict the target of the bandits and wait for him there.

Liu Bu didn't want to chase after the bandits, so after several studies, they came to the conclusion that the bandits would certainly sweep Fengyang mansion and attack other cities. Anqing along the Yangtze River must also be one of their targets. Therefore, they waited for a rabbit in Anqing. They can certainly fight against them. The two sides can fight a hard battle here, So they immediately ordered the troops to ship.

Another advantage of going by sea is that they can ship their heavy equipment quickly, take them south, and accompany them with their red cannon, which makes Liu Bu more confident and more confident.

After more than ten days of sea transportation, they arrived in Anqing and landed at Anqing wharf, which frightened the magistrate Wang Zhiwen.

You know, since the fall of Fengyang, the imperial court has constantly mobilized troops from around here to recover Fengyang, but now the wandering bandits are powerful. After they captured Fengyang, they have constantly sent out troops to attack all directions, which makes them frightened and terrified all day.

They are constantly asking for help from all over the country, hoping for military support, but there is no army to help at all.

Governor Ying Tian, stationed in Suzhou, has always adhered to the city gate in all places under strict orders and is not allowed to go to war. Moreover, he promised to send 2000 elite troops to guard Anqing, but in the end, only hundreds of disabled soldiers and defeated generals were sent.

It is estimated that this governor Ying Tian also knows the same thing. The roving bandits are powerful. If he sends some disabled and defeated generals to take the initiative to fight the roving bandits, he has no choice but to send their heads. Therefore, he can only order anqing government to stick to the gate and never open it or fight the roving bandits. Of course, he will not have reinforcements.

This made Wang Zhiwen extremely frightened and frightened. Seeing that the surrounding towns were constantly captured by the exile army, a large number of refugees and people rushed here, Wang Zhiwen learned the lesson of the capture of Fengyang mansion. He resolutely did not allow any refugees to enter anqing mansion. If the other party dared to enter by force, he directly sent soldiers to expel them.

But Liu Bu had thousands of elite coming, but he was a little surprised.

Of course, he was also afraid that Liu Bu's troops might be made up of rogue bandits, so he didn't dare to open the city gate at leisure. However, Liu Bu's troops were not polite and immediately seized the wharf. You know, they were escorted by Zheng Zhibao's powerful navy. They sent 10 main warships and a large number of ships to transport thousands of them, They had hundreds of cannons. After these cannons were exposed, Anqing wharf and Shuizhai obediently surrendered. Liu Bu immediately took over these places and asked the magistrate to open the city gate and let them enter the city to help defend Anqing.

Seeing the excellent equipment of the Liu family army, Wang Zhiwen was relieved. Moreover, Liu Bu had the official writing of the imperial court. The imperial court ordered him to go south to suppress the bandits and directly obey the orders of governor Zhu Dadian of Fengyang.

Now that there are official imperial scripts and tiger charms, Wang Zhiwen, after inspecting these things, thought that the other party had no problem, he let Liu Bu's army into the city, because he heard that Chuzhou, Hezhou, Luzhou and Yizheng nearby had been captured by Liu Da's army, the refugees had traveled all over the world, and the panic had spread all over here. If the imperial army had not been stationed this time, His anqing mansion may not last long.

After the gate of Anqing mansion was opened, Liu Bu led his main force into Anqing and officially took over the defense of Anqing.

Originally, Wang Zhiwen wanted to be garrisoned by their local army, while Liu Bu's army assisted in defense, but he was amazed to see that the troops left behind were so well equipped, the soldiers were so strong, almost everyone was dressed in armor, and such elite soldiers were all at the level of family servants.

Moreover, at this time, the orders of the imperial court have been conveyed to the south, that is, there was a civil commotion in Dengzhou, Governor Chen YingYuan died in his post, and Liu Yuanqiao was officially appointed as the new Denglai patrol to fudenglai area. Since Liu Bu is the son of Denglai Governor Liu Yuanqiao, he is an official family and a top aristocrat. Frankly, his own people can be trusted, so he simply handed over the urban defense to Liu bu.

With tears in his eyes, Wang Zhiwen said, "General Liu, the lives of 300000 people in Anqing will be handed over to you."

Liu Bu said with awe inspiring righteousness, "it is incumbent on the last general to wipe out the exiled bandits and protect the country."

When Wang Zhiwen saw that Liu Bu was so confident, he also felt peace of mind. He should know that the current imperial army is afraid of the enemy in the face of the roving bandits. Few dare to have a field battle or fight a hard battle with the roving bandits. They are very weak in the face of the enemy and very ferocious in the face of their own people.

However, the Qi army showed a different side. Their discipline was extremely harsh. The soldiers marched into the city in a neat queue. After entering the military camp in the city, they did not show up in the city. They were not like other armies. If they entered the city, they would be like releasing sheep. It was light to flirt with people's women and rob people's wealth. If they did not move, they would kill people and goods, Rape and robbery, no disgusting things they can't do.

After the Qi army took over the urban defense, they all stayed in their camp. Except that they sent their purchasing personnel to buy a large amount of food, there was no other action. No one went to whores in brothels or gambled in casinos, and no one wandered in the street to cause trouble and eat, drink and have fun.

Even if they sent purchasing personnel and purchased a large amount of food, they paid enough money according to the market price and did not force buying and selling.

After all, it was the guest army and came to help defend Anqing, so Wang Zhiwen called all the rich families in the city and asked them to contribute a sum of money and food to reward the army.

Wang Zhiwen said to these rich families: "Everyone has seen that the big Fengyang city was attacked by bandits. They said they would fight it down. After Fengyang city was captured, so many dragon sons and grandchildren were killed and so many dignitaries and dignitaries were killed. If anqing was attacked, everyone's fate would not be much better. Today, fortunately, Qi army came to help defend, so we have to work together in the same boat and take out a sum of money Money and food, let the Qi army eat and drink well, and guard the city for us. "

Fengyang city was broken down, and the rich and nobles in the city were looted and killed. This has been spread out, and it also makes other surrounding cities feel insecure. Everyone is in a panic all day. Those who have a way have fled to Nanjing and other cities across the Yangtze River, but many people are local people, and their land, shops and houses are in Here, what if they escaped and were robbed? Now the imperial court finally has reinforcements to support it. It is still an army that looks so strong and strong. The other party also shows strong discipline and does not disturb the place. Therefore, the rich families in the place also pledged a sum of money and a batch of food and transported them to the military camp.

Liu Bu is sure that he will not rob people of money or food. His army also ensures sufficient food for his army by sea.

You should know that the Liu family is one of the four major commercial fleets with the canal. Since Liu Yuanqiao withdrew from Linqing customs, their fleet has plummeted. But now Liu Yuanqiao has made a strong return and become governor Denglai. At the same time, their army is helping the imperial court eliminate the exiles, so their fleet is active on the canal again to transport materials for the army.

Liu Bu deeply understood one thing, that is, the soldiers had enough to eat and drink, which was the premise of winning the war. Therefore, after his main army arrived, they ordered their family's fleet to prepare a batch of grain and grass for them here. This was originally Huainan, the grain producing area of the imperial court. The Liu family had his network, and they soon collected and bought a large amount of grain nearby, which was very important Some grain was sent to their barracks to ensure that their soldiers could eat and drink well and would not go to war hungry like other soldiers.

Now there are places that contribute a large amount of money and food, but he didn't refuse. He happily accepted it. If Liu Zeqing or Zuo Liangyu came here, they might have sent troops to rob it. They came to fight for a place and paid military expenses by the local government. This is a common practice. If the local government doesn't give them, they do it by themselves.
