Shi Kefa's own soldiers thought that all the soldiers around the governor had fled. Should they go back to Suzhou?
When I go back, I will be humiliated and laughed at by everyone, but there is one advantage: I can save my life and enjoy wealth.
What should I do if I go to Nanjing? They are only a few hundred people. Facing each other's millions of powerful divisions, how can they break through the heavy siege of each other's millions of troops and enter Nanjing?
Even if he entered the city of Nanjing, what effect does it have? This is tantamount to death. As soon as he heard that he went to Nanjing, these people around him immediately broke their faces and kept crying.
Shi Kefa said with awe inspiring righteousness: "you are deeply favored by the country at ordinary times. When the country is in trouble, you are greedy for life and afraid of death. Is this the way to be a minister?"
What he said was awe inspiring, and he was also very tall, but these soldiers listened to it, but they didn't think so. What is the great kindness of the imperial court? I'm just a soldier. I work as a soldier and eat food. Those who work as senior officials and noble lords are really blessed by the imperial court. They wear warm clothes and eat full. Life is like an immortal. Why do these people who are deeply benefited by Daming work hard for Daming when Daming is in trouble, not those who work hard for Daming, but those who work as soldiers?
When they started, there were more than 2000 people, but now there are only a little more than 100 people left. Why? That's because that's what people think.
Why is it that when the country is in trouble, it is not those who enjoy the benefits of the country to work hard, but let them, ordinary people, fight hard. When officials speak and shut up, they will know the great righteousness of the country. People who can't eat enough can't figure out what the great righteousness of the country is and what integrity is. I just want to eat enough, just want my wife and children to heat the Kang.
After Shi Kefa said these impassioned words, he thought that the people around him would be encouraged by his great righteousness and go to Nanjing with him. Who knows, his words made these close soldiers around him somewhat alienated and unwilling to mix with him.
Why did the big guy hang out with him? That's because I've been hanging out with him, eating and drinking. Now I'm going to die with him, and several people are willing to do this.
At this time, a soldier beside him suddenly asked loudly, "the man I'm waiting for is not raised by his father and mother. He doesn't have a family to raise. Who should be cheaper for his wife and children when he dies in the battle? Who should raise my mother?"
Hearing the other party's question, Shi Kefa was stunned. He said, "there is no country. Where is home? Your ancestors, if they heard that you were afraid of the enemy when the country was in trouble, they would be greatly ashamed and would not recognize you as an unfilial descendant."
The soldier continued to ask, "if I die in the war, who knows I will die in the war? Who should support the people in the family?"
Shi Kefa said, "since ancient times, no one has died. Leave blue blood to shine on history! If you die in war, naturally there will be a court to support your parents, and your children will be proud of your sacrifice spirit."
After listening to this sentence, the soldiers became more angry and lost, because they were soldiers and were clear about the various rules of Daming.
What is called a clear understanding of the various means of Daming? This is because there must be a register in the local register before they go to war. Only then can we know how many people they go to war, who is in their family, and how the imperial court should be afraid if something happens.
But they didn't register at all. They came out in a hurry. To put it bluntly, even the local government didn't know how many people there were in their army, how many people went to fight for the imperial court, and how to send money to their homes when they died.
Moreover, the corrupt officials of the imperial court have reached the point where they are greedy for everything. If they have the opportunity to be greedy for money, they are all scrambling for the first place. It is impossible for them to take money from their own pockets to comfort these soldiers. Even if they are the money and food pulled out by the imperial court, they will be exploited layer by layer, It was only a few copper coins that finally reached the soldier's house.
Because these soldiers have been in the army for a long time and are used to these things. If they are still alive, they can receive military pay. If they are lucky, they will not be deducted. If they are unlucky, they will also be deducted.
They are still here. The imperial court still needs them to work hard and have their money deducted. If they are gone, they have no use value for the imperial court. Will they still be given money?
Everyone expressed doubt!
This governor is a good man, but for these soldiers, he is equivalent to an immortal who doesn't eat grains and grains and doesn't know the hardships of the people. What we want is not to keep blue blood in history, but to live, but to have his wife and children warm the Kang.
Generally speaking, the soldiers were even more indifferent. No matter how encouraged he was, the soldiers refused to go.
Shi Kefa felt even more humiliated. There were only a hundred people left around him. If these people were unwilling to go with him, he could go alone. To put it mildly, he went by himself. What's the use? He didn't even know the way.
Thinking of this, Shi Kefa was very angry. He pointed to these soldiers and accused them of cold-blooded selfishness, no king and no father.
The soldiers were not ashamed of his accusations, but felt that the adult was really inhuman and did not know the suffering of the world. What's the use of working for such a person?
Just as these people were still hesitating here, they only heard the sound of horns and hoofs like thunder. A pair of Liu Jun surrounded them. Why do you know it's Liu Jun? This is because the other party is under the banner of Liu Jiajun.
There were only about 300 cavalry soldiers in this group, but everyone was riding horses and looked very strong. When they saw that this was the camp of the imperial court's officers and soldiers, they surrounded them. Who knows, when they surrounded them, they found that although the other party's camp was large, there were only about 100 people, so they surrounded them, and these imperial court officers and soldiers were useless, It's rubbish. As soon as they were surrounded, these people put down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender without any paste.
The general led by Liu Jun rode out. He looked at each other's flag and couldn't believe what he saw in front of him: "the imperial censor Jindu, the governor Nanji, and the history of Su Song's army and horse tuntian money and food!" he spit and scolded: "what a big name, what a poor hand!"
The other side's banner is a little tall and dignified. The other side's banner is the banner of governor Ying Tian, which should be the Chinese army camp of Wu Fu, but there are really too few troops here, and they are still some disabled soldiers and defeated generals, which makes them a little confused and confused. What's the situation? Are they doing something suspicious?
The officer in charge of Liu Jun's troops is sun Wang, who was a small soldier who took refuge in Liu's army in those years. Because he performed well in riding and shooting, he was transferred to the cavalry. Starting from the chief Wu, he became the battalion commander. This time, he was ordered to lead a cavalry to scout in Suzhou and inquire about the reinforcements sent by the other party to Nanjing.
This disappointed sun hope. He wanted to attack Nanjing. This should be the classic first World War of Liu Jiajun. Winning here is the highest light moment of Liu Jun.
Moreover, Liu Bu's prestige among Liu's army is very high. When the soldiers heard that he led the army in person, they are willing to fight with him, follow around Liu Dashuai, work hard for him and make achievements for themselves.
Who knows that he was sent on such a job, which disappointed him very much.
The order given to him above is relatively simple, that is, reconnaissance and advance towards Suzhou. If you encounter the enemy, you can't fight. Report to the division headquarters and send a large army to deal with it. In short, it is a role of visiting the wind.
But Sun expected him to lead his horse team all the way east along the official road, but he didn't see any officers and soldiers coming to Nanjing. Instead, he saw many people begin to flee, supporting the old and the young, and fleeing one after another to Suzhou.
Liu Jiajun's siege of Nanjing has spread in this area. In order to avoid the military front, the people in the surrounding cities have begun to flee to the countryside or to the mountains. There are chickens flying and dogs jumping everywhere.
Sun expected to lead his army all the way East, set out from Zhenjiang, crossed Danyang, and entered Changzhou Prefecture. Unexpectedly, he didn't find any enemy trace?
What about the enemy's army? What about the agreed reinforcements? Why didn't you see it?!
The court's response is too slow, isn't it? It is said that their governor Ying Tian is stationed here in the important town of Suzhou, which is not only a military town, but also a tax town. He should be able to easily pull up a team of tens of thousands of people and quickly rush to Nanjing?
Liu Jiajun had these concerns, so he sent his team to guard against this direction. If they saw the other party sending reinforcements, they sent a large army to fight.
At present, Liu Jiajun's biggest goal is to take Nanjing first. After taking Nanjing, they will attack other places, even if it is an important site such as Suzhou and Hangzhou, a paradise on earth and a place of heavy taxation.
This is Liu Bu's personal order, that is to take Nanjing first and then other places. It's like eating a pig elbow. It's all good meat, but you must eat it one mouthful at a time. If you swallow it in one mouthful and eat it all at once, you'll only be afraid of swallowing you to death and spit out what you eat.
As long as they take Nanjing city and Jiangnan, a big pig elbow, is their meat in the plate. They can't escape. Therefore, they will gather all the troops and go all out to attack. They just sent light troops to guard the surrounding areas. After discovering the enemy's tracks, they will send troops to fight with the other party.
Suzhou is the focus of their defense, because Suzhou is the residence of governor Ying Tian. It is said that Shi Kefa is a generation of celebrities. When they fought against the roving bandits, they also played a vivid and colorful game. The top leaders of the Liu family army are very optimistic about Shi Kefa. The top leaders of the Liu family also attach great importance to this, so they are cautious and like a great enemy.
