Chapter 275

Liu Jiajun's equipment and morale are the best, which gives great comfort to the local people in Anqing.

Many knowledgeable old people are lamenting that even the elite officers and soldiers of the imperial court are just like this.

The household system is popular in the border generals of the Ming Dynasty, but anqing belongs to the inland and the core area of the Ming Dynasty. It is a place of heavy taxes. It is not an important military place, and the generals here do not have the hobby of raising household servants.

If the people in the North saw this strong army, they would sigh: "my mother! 4000 servants!", what is this concept?

At that time, more than 10000 Liaodong iron cavalry, that is, more than 10000 servants under Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong, pressed all ethnic groups in Liaozhen to fight. However, since Li Chengliang's servants were dissolved and distributed to several sons, they no longer formed a joint force, so they had no power to suppress the rise of JianNu.

In fact, according to the official imperial order, Liu BU should go to the account of Zhu Dadian, governor of water transport and governor of Fengyang.

He did not arrive at Zhu Dadian's camp in Xuzhou in the north. Instead, he circled half of the Daming Dynasty, went west from the Yangtze River, arrived at Anqing, and arrived at another governor in nanzhili. Anqing, the jurisdiction of governor Ying Tian, landed here.

This is playing the piano.

Liu Bu's explanation is that if they go south by land, the journey will be very fast, and they can't take their luggage. If his army doesn't have luggage, it can't fight. This is his explanation to Wang Zhiwen, the governor of Anqing.

In fact, he doesn't have to say this to Wang Zhiwen. Now Wang Zhiwen knows that his city is in crisis. Even Fengyang has been captured. His celebration has been taken. It's a one sentence thing. He reports three times a day and pleads bitterly, but Ying Tian, the governor in Suzhou, just didn't send reinforcements for support.

The 500 soldiers sent by governor Ying Tian were directly ignored by Wang Zhiwen. He knew that relying on these more than 500 people alone would be of no use at all. They would eventually be attacked by the enemy, and Wang Zhiwen would also be hacked to death or killed himself.

Wang Zhiwen was a scholar in the second year of the apocalypse. He was in the same year as Lu Xiangsheng and Chen Qiyu, but these people had become leaders at the governor level, but he still struggled in the position of magistrate. Seeing that the rogue army was about to sweep across the north of the river, he could do nothing. Wang Zhiwen could not help but sigh that he had to commit suicide and serve the country to show his integrity.

Wang Zhiwen was born as a Jinshi and guarded the side of Daming. He has enjoyed glory and wealth, and has also entered the ranks of scholar officials. His loyalty to Daming is beyond doubt, and he is willing to be loyal to Daming. Unfortunately, his young son and his beautiful wife and concubine are difficult for him to cut.

He Wang Zhiwen could commit suicide and die for his country, but his royal family could not be destroyed, so he secretly sent his son and some beautiful wives and concubines to the countryside, hoping that they could escape and save their lives.

Wang Zhiwen sighed to his son, "now in troubled times, I concentrate on farming and reading at home and wait for peace before I come out to be an official."

His son and the concubines who gave birth to his children can enjoy returning home. For example, those who married him and didn't give birth to him stay here with him. If one day he commits suicide and dies in the country, these concubines will follow him, and they will no longer be lonely on the huangquan Road.

But at this time, Liu Bu led his army to enter both land and water, arrived in Anqing, and directly took over anqing wharf and Shuijun stronghold.

Wang Zhiwen went to the water army competition to see each other's water army, but he had huge warships. He couldn't help but marvel that there are such large warships in the world. Is it the rumored giant ship? Moreover, he also saw the other party unload a large number of Flemish cannons from the ship, and some were even twice as big as Flemish cannons. He couldn't help but marvel. Is this the rumored red cannon?

After seeing the military documents and tiger symbols submitted by Liu Bu, he immediately went to the barracks to meet Liu bu.

The first person he asked was: "General Liu, your cannon is the legendary red cannon?"

You should know that the red cannon of this era is the symbol of invincibility. In Ningyuan City, yuan Chonghuan beat back the old slaves with the red cannon, basically killing all the old slaves, which made the red cannon famous all over the world.

However, Daming was really frustrated. They actually had a Wuqiao mutiny in Dengzhou, their core place. These cannons fell into the hands of JianNu. Countless people of insight could not help but sigh. JianNu without red cannon is so awesome. Wouldn't it be flying with JianNu with red cannon?

Liu Bu confirmed the identity of the other party, that is, Wang Zhiwen, the magistrate of Anqing. The other party is also a Jinshi and a dignified four grade magistrate. At present, such people rarely surrender and can't be spies of wandering bandits, so he said: "exactly! This is the red cannon in the rumor."

Wang Zhiwen said, "didn't the Tang newspaper say that the red cannon had been taken by the rebels to JianNu?"

Liu Bu explained: "When the Dengzhou gun foundry was about to be broken down by the rebels that day, there were craftsmen who were loyal to the Ming court, so they buried the red cannon together, and then lied to the rebels that there were only some semi-finished products, but there were no finished products at all. They successfully hid 10 red cannon, which were discovered recently and just used to deal with the rogue bandits. Our department has these red cannon The Yi cannon is extremely heavy and can't move quickly, so it will enter the Yangtze River by sea, and then arrive in Anqing. Starting from here, I plan to go north along the official road and recover Fengyang after defeating the wandering bandits here. "

It was a great tone to go north to recover Fengyang, but Wang Zhiwen didn't refute the other party. He saw that the other party were some elite Huben men, well-equipped and high morale. If they could defeat JianNu, it would basically be a beautiful thing.

Wang Zhiwen was completely relieved and happy when he saw that the other party had such a legendary artifact as the red cannon. He knew that the other party must be a strong army, so he ordered the local powerful and rich families to donate money and food to support the Qi army.

Why did Liu Jiajun change their strategy 180 degrees? This is because in the past, even if they had relieved the disaster, comforted Denglai, and sent troops to support other places, the credit was the credit of Dengzhou Governor Chen YingYuan, which had nothing to do with their Liu family. Even they would bleed and shed tears. It is estimated that Chen YingYuan only regarded them as stepping stones to make achievements, Liu Jiajun has no interest in how to treat them well.

Just look at their arrangements. In order to coax Liu Jiajun out, there are many means. To put it bluntly, it is to coax them into the battlefield. How can such a person be trusted?

Now Liu Yuanqiao has become governor Denglai, and the whole situation is different. The credit they have made belongs to them, and there will be no diversion from others. Moreover, Liu Yuanqiao can never let his son lead the army, and then ignore his life and death.

As governor of Denglai, Liu Yuanqiao sent his son to lead the army. When the imperial court expropriated the enemy and attacked the wandering bandits, he would certainly prepare a large number of reserve soldiers and money and food to the front line.

Although these troops say that they go to fight for the imperial court, the local people provide money and food, but they often appear that these guest troops go to fight and work hard, but the local people have a bad impression of them and are unwilling to contribute money and food to them.

Therefore, the best way for them to go to war is to master the grain road in their own hands. As long as the grain road is in their own hands, they can have the initiative and advance and retreat freely.

It is also at this time that they will lead the army and work for the court. After they pay the price of their lives, they will return to their rights. No one will share their credit and take away their things.

So the last time Liu Bu led the troops, he was unwilling and unwilling to go. But this time, he was willing and attentive, so they sent troops very quickly.

They deployed their main force here in Anqing. If there were no bandits here, they would go north along the official road and attack Fengyang.

They all know that if they go south along the official road in the north and directly listen to orders under the account of Fengyang governor Zhu Dadian, they will most likely become a stepping stone for Zhu Dadian or replace the dead ghost.

So they would rather lead the first route army alone and fight their own.

Wang Zhiwen saw Liu Bu's confidence and strong military capacity. He said again: "the 300000 people in Anqing will be handed over to General Liu. The government is fully responsible for logistics. If the Qi army needs any food, just ask me. If the Qi army is hungry, I think I am asking."

Wang Zhiwen is a Jedi. He also knows the fame of Liu Yuanqiao. He has heard a lot about this exquisite and famous figure on the canal. Now Liu Yuanqiao has become the governor of the shepherd side, and has sent his son to lead the army to fight. This army is called Qi army, which is actually equivalent to the private army of the Liu family.

They will only work for the Liu family, so she never thought about taking the military power of the Liu family's army. Instead, she wanted everyone to cooperate with each other and let the Qi army defeat the wandering bandits. They took the opportunity to keep Anqing and cooperate with each other.

Wang Zhiwen didn't want to interfere with Liu Jiajun's actions, which made Liu Bu very happy. He was afraid that these civil servants really regarded themselves as one thing. They also held the style of Wen Guiwu cheap. If they came to help themselves, they had to listen to their command from a magistrate or county magistrate. This was embarrassing.
