Chapter 288

There is a saying in the art of war. The so-called strategy is to go up.

They have always believed in this, so they can be at ease. Today, if they have been fighting hard with officers and soldiers, it is estimated that the grass on their graves is already very high.

That is because they believe this, so they immediately put oil on the soles of their feet and slip away when they see that the wind is wrong.

For example, after they encountered a crisis, they saw that the wind was wrong and immediately prepared to leave. Few of them wanted to fight against the officers and soldiers. What they thought was that even the most elite Zhang Xianzhong among them had been killed. In fact, they were not as good as Zhang Xianzhong. Where could they be the opponents of the officers and soldiers?

Moreover, the army still has the invincible general who defeated the Mongolian Tartars 200 years ago. How can they fight?

Moreover, up to now, they still don't know which army defeated Zhang Xianzhong, who is the master and how many people are there? They don't know. They just know that Zhang Xianzhong has been defeated and captured alive. Guan Guan is now preparing to counter attack Fengyang.

So Gao Yingxiang and others sat down to discuss. After a while, they couldn't get any good results. They immediately decided to clean up and prepare to leave.

They decided to leave, but how to go is another problem. They know that Hong Chengchou, Lu Jiude and other troops in the north have been gradually pressed over, and there is a more powerful cow who defeated Zhang Xianzhong in the south.

The officers and soldiers should attack each other from north to south, so they have no choice but to escape to the West.

This is also an experience they have gained from fighting for many years, that is, don't fight against the officers and soldiers waiting for him. After he has been dragged down, look for his weaknesses and defeat him at one fell swoop.

So when they heard that Liu's army was advancing towards them quickly, these bandits immediately cleaned up their weakness and fled one after another.

If they knew that Liu Bu's army had only more than 3500 people, they would dare to fight whatever they said, but because the most powerful Zhang Xianzhong among them was lost in the first war and captured alive, they were afraid to find out who this powerful enemy was. They had reached the point of fleeing after hearing the wind.

Liu Bu's troops set out from Anqing, passing through Tongcheng, Shucheng and Luzhou, and went straight to Fengyang. Wherever they went, the roving bandits fled and recovered the three major cities. The military front pointed directly at Fengyang. Luzhou is the later Hefei. In the 14th year of the Yuan Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, they set up wanhu house, the head of Huaixi road in Luzhou, which belongs to the Jianghuai province (Yangzhou), the Huaixi road propaganda and comfort Department (Luzhou) and Luzhou. Fifteen years later, Luzhou was promoted to be the road and the head office was set up. It is still the Huaixi Road (governing Luzhou) of Jianghuai province (governing Yangzhou).

By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the red scarf army uprising regime, the great Song Dynasty, established a Jianghuai provincial government in Luzhou. In July of the 10th year of dragon and Phoenix, Luzhou road was changed to Luzhou Prefecture and the capital of Jianghuai provincial government. Soon, the Jianghuai provincial government was abolished and changed to the Jiangnan provincial government established by Zhu Yuanzhang in yingtianfu (Nanjing).

In August of the first year of Hongwu's reign, Luzhou Prefecture was transformed into a Zhongshu province and still ruled Hefei county. In the first month of the 13th year, Luzhou Prefecture was directly subordinate to six departments. In the first year of Yongle, Luzhou government was transferred to Nanjing, also known as nanzhili and Zhili Nanjing (Nanjing).

Luzhou is an important city. Even in the Ming Dynasty, it is also an important city of Gongwei Fengyang Prefecture. It is under the control of Fengyang governor and an important town in Huaixi.

After the rogue bandits broke through Fengyang mansion, it was also in an embarrassing situation of being ownerless. As a result, when the rogue army arrived here, it simply ran away, and one important town fell into the hands of the rogue bandits.

But this time, the officers and soldiers successfully subdued it, because even Zhang Xianzhong, who captured Fengyang, was captured alive, and his army was destroyed by the regiment. Those who stayed here were some disabled and defeated generals. They heard that the officers and soldiers came, and the dead took risks and fled one after another.

Liu Bu couldn't think of anything he said. They would occupy an important mansion so easily.

You should know that the status here is actually equivalent to the core area of Anhui. In later generations, it is a provincial capital. They occupied a provincial capital without a single soldier. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the roving bandits is also very low and very poor.

Originally, Liu Bu and his family threatened to recover Fengyang at one stroke. In fact, it was also their slogan. He also made up his mind that he would stop marching as soon as the wind was wrong. After all, recovering Fengyang for the emperor would bring great glory, but at the same time, he would also face a huge counterattack from the rogue bandits, who had hundreds of thousands of troops, Even if hundreds of thousands of pigs arch over, they can drink a pot.

The unexpected thing was that when they arrived in Luzhou, they didn't need a single soldier, which greatly increased Liu Bu's confidence and made them think that the roving bandits were nothing more than that. They were also greedy for life and afraid of death, and they also had low morale. When their morale was low, they said that they were a group of pigs, what Liu Jiajun needed to do, Is to drive them away.

It can be said that Liu Jiajun defeated Zhang Xianzhong's army and captured Zhang Xianzhong alive, which definitely broke the morale of the roving bandits and their self-confidence.

We should know that the roving bandit troops are not very strict in organization and are not very strict in nature. They are supported by a spirit of morale and loyalty. When their morale is very bad, they are close to collapse.

Liu Bu led his army to enter Luzhou with honor and pride as a liberator. He received the warm welcome of the local squires in Luzhou with incomparable scenery and authority.

We should know that there are roving bandits, but they toss the squires not lightly. They are all tossing to death. Now the officers and soldiers have finally successfully fought back and recovered the lost land, which makes the squires feel liberated. They beat gongs and drums and welcome the officers and soldiers with joy.

At this time, Liu bu also understood one thing, that is, your birth determines everything.

For example, wherever peasant born bandits go, they will certainly attack the squires, rob the rich and help the poor, and rob the property of these local tyrants for military funds and food and salaries.

This has wreaked havoc on the squires and powerful men in these places, and many people have been broken down by rogue bandits.

However, Liu Bu's successful recovery of Luzhou made these squires happy, because they all knew that Liu Bu was a son of powerful people and an official family. He was a passer-by with everyone, so everyone regarded him as a passer-by and warmly welcomed his people to successfully rescue everyone.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with these people. After capturing Luzhou, Liu Bu immediately issued a notice to reassure the people and severely ordered the army not to aid and disturb the people. Instead of blackmailing the local rich and squires or plundering money, he ordered the local squires to organize a convoy to Anqing to transport grain to help the recovery of the place.

The local gentry burst into tears one after another. They said excitedly, "finally, the officers and soldiers are coming."

Liu Jiajun has his own ambition, so they order people to have their own military discipline, which is very strict. They will never let their level rise to the level of ordinary officers and soldiers.

In fact, we should know that there is no difference between ordinary officers and soldiers and rogue bandits. The most painful place for the local people is that after the rogue bandits loot, the officers and soldiers loot. Sometimes the people suffer deeply. There is no distinction between officers and soldiers and thieves. Both officers and soldiers and rogue bandits are thieves, and it is the people who are unlucky.

But this time, Liu Jiajun's officers and soldiers showed a different side. After they entered the city, they immediately posted a notice of peace for the people. Their soldiers did not take the opportunity to disturb the people, but also quickly sent a law enforcement team to take advantage of the local ruffians and hooligans, quickly correct the law, seriously enforce the law and discipline, and quickly stabilize the place.

Liu Jiajun's style made the local squires feel very happy. This is the style of the Royal Army. Everyone praised it one after another. The people automatically took wine and meat and went to Liu Bu's barracks to reward the army.

Liu Bu knows that now they want to join the ranks of dominating the world, they must buy people's hearts. If they had spread a crime of buying people's hearts in the past, it must be a capital crime, but now that they have decided to do so, they have nothing to worry about and fear. They will buy people's hearts directly.

Therefore, Liu Bu did not refuse the kindness of the squires, warmly received the squires, and promised them that he would ensure the safety of their lives and property and that they would not be hurt by anyone. If anyone hurt them, he could ask Liu Jiajun for help, and Liu Jiajun would take the lead for them.

Liu Jiajun's all encompassing statement made the gentlemen happy. It was like finding an organization. The place was in a mess. Now it has finally recovered. It is the place where these squires are most happy, most eager and eager.

Moreover, Liu Jiajun was so kind to the people that he did not commit any offense to the people. He was also strict in military discipline to the place and did not do anything to harm the place. Everyone was very happy and happy and asked Liu Jiajun to stay here for a long time.

Liu Bu flatly refused. He said, "I was a general of the imperial court. I went to recover Fengyang, the capital of China, according to the order of the imperial court. How can I be greedy for life and fear death and settle in a corner."

Liu Bu did not hesitate to refuse to speak with awe inspiring righteousness, and won the favor of the villagers. You know, Fengyang, the capital of China, is the ancestral Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, the spiritual totem of the Ming Dynasty, and the totem of these people and squires. Now it has been occupied by exiles, and everyone is very sad because it has been occupied, and they all suffer misfortune and losses, Now the officers and soldiers have officially recovered and are ready to recover Fengyang, which gives them hope for their days.
