There were very few people killed by the Zhou army on the battlefield, and the contact surface was too narrow; but the panicked and dense crowd was very terrifying, and would trample their own people to death and squeeze people into the river.
There are many rivers in Shu Kingdom, and many soldiers can swim, but it is difficult to swim in armor.
There are countless dead.
Order Dong Zunhui to stop the attack immediately!Guo Shao suddenly shouted.
Wenwu, who had already caught up to watch the battle, was immediately in an uproar, and people looked sideways, thinking that Guo Shao was suddenly nervous.
Even his brother Yang Biao pulled his horse's face and said anxiously: Big brother, the Shu army collapsed, and the gods cannot afford to order them at the moment. As long as you take advantage of the situation and kill them, you can win with confidence!
Guo Shao didn't look nervous and looked very serious: Why are we fighting for war? To kill people?If you want to kill people, you shouldn't kill them... He pointed to the chaotic Shu army ahead, and waited for this place to be included in our Great Zhou territory. They were no different from the people of Great Zhou, and they were all good families of Han people.I am the commander of the Eastern Route Army and the commander!
Victory is right in front of you, and Wang Pu, the prime minister of the army, was anxious: Guo Du should not act irritably. The battle formation is like you and will die, and there is no benevolence and righteousness to talk about.
Shi Yanchao also snorted: Everyone said that Guo Du checked the kindness of a woman, and she still did this after fighting so many battles.
Guo Shao ignored Shi Yanchao and said to Wang Pu: Of course I was not in a state of intent. I can win as well as stop attacking now; I can win more thoroughly and more gracefully.The Shu army's fortress was destroyed in one fell swoop, and the rear army was about to lose when they got into the battle. They no longer had the morale and aspirations to fight. What else can they do if they don't surrender?
Seeing that the generals looked at him one after another, he looked back and said, "The Hu Ben Army never claimed merit with its head, our goal is victory and reputation."To win, we must first try our best to reduce casualties among our own people. On this basis, civil wars must also minimize casualties between the enemy. The population is not crops, and it will grow one in a year. If the head is cut off, it will not grow, and it will be difficult to untie the blood feud.Remember, our battles in the south and north are to unify the world and end the war, not to create tragedy.
Guo Shao was a military general, but after some words, even the civil servant Wang Pu refused speechlessly.
Wang Pu has seen a lot in the officialdom. Many people defend themselves with high-sounding reasons, and morality is the best article; no matter how singular he says, perhaps he just uses the words of the saint as a tool.
Wang Pu, an old official, believed that Guo Shao's words were not hypocritical at this time. Guo Shao should have thought that because Wang Pu had made friends with him for so long and knew him too much, and he was not a bureaucrat at all.
People's hearts are seen over time. Of course, you can see what kind of person you are like over time.
Wang Pu looked at Guo Shao's young face, his eyes clear on his face, and there seemed to be sunshine flashing inside... The kind of thing that only a newborn calf and who does not understand the world has, with hope, sunshine and love; but most of these people have a little ignorant knowledge, is Guo Shao ignorant?
...No matter what, the military power is in the hands of Guo Shao. The Grand Marshal of the World, the Eastern Army, and the front camp of the East Route Army, were all deployed and inspected in front of the hall. Unless someone mutiny first, Guo Shao would do whatever he wanted.
He said that he should be kind to the Shu army, then be kind. He said that the world can be more sunny and should be done according to his daydreams. Everyone must recognize it. Who said that his strength and centralization are so great... and the practice is not unacceptable.
The heavy infantry of the vanguard Zhou army had stopped attacking, and the scene became even more weird.
On this side, the heavily armored elite soldiers armed to the teeth of the Zhou army stopped moving, and the Shu army was in chaos, and the people who were trampled screamed everywhere, and there were endless calls for help on the river.
The general of the Zhou army shouted: Our chief general, General Guo, ordered a ban on killing. You should be at ease and don’t squeeze.Rescue the one who fell into the water...
The generals of the Shu army also shouted loudly, and finally settled the chaos.
The Shu soldiers in front of them did not get attacked and did not run back, and the situation gradually improved.
The soldiers of the two armies looked at each other face to face, and looked at each other for a moment speechless.
Dong Zunhui stepped forward and shouted: The situation is over, and your master general comes to surrender!Marshal Guo promised not to hurt the lives of the Shu army soldiers.
Not long after, the general of the Shu army came up to surrender.In this way, the speed of breaking through the Wu Gorge defense line is faster, and the generals are convinced.
The general of the Shu army, Li Dong, knelt down in front of Guo Shao on one knee, held the sword and seal, and said: The general was incompetent and was defeated by the three armies. He was ashamed of the emperor's kindness. He wanted to kill and cut him to the emperor, and only asked the general of the Zhou Dynasty, General Guo, to forgive the lives of my subordinates.
Guo Shao took the thing and helped him up and said: Don't worry, if I lie to you to surrender, then kill the prisoners; will the Shu army with many strongholds surrender?
Perhaps Guo Shao's words were too real, and he couldn't find a reason to doubt them. Li Dong was slightly stunned and moved.
After a while, Li Dong couldn't help but say again: The garrison of Wushan County is my subordinate. If Marshal Guo believes in me, I will send someone to take the letter back and ask him to surrender.
Very good.Guo Shao agreed immediately.
Shi Yanchao and others looked at each other, wondering whether to scold Li Dong for being too quick to betrayal or to praise him.No matter what, Guo Shao's sincerity played a big role, and even a fool could see it.
So the Zhou army collected the weapons of the surrendered soldiers and marched forward without bloodshed.
Guo Shao passed by the Suojiang floating bridge and saw iron chains and ship fences very strongly constructed, which could be seen as a lot of effort.
But now it is useless. The Shu army above surrendered after their commander ordered; as long as the iron chain pontoon bridge is removed, the Zhou army navy can pass.
The next morning, Dong Zunhui's vanguard took the lead, and Guo Shao led his army to Wushan County.The city gate was opened, and the military generals and officials from the county town led their troops to kneel at the gate to greet them respectfully.
Guo Shao rode his horse to the city gate and looked up and saw that the tiger flag with green and yellow embroidered color was hung on the city tower.
An official with a round official robe kowtowed and said: When the emperor heard that the king's army had arrived, he did not dare to meet with soldiers, so he sealed the treasury to wait for the king's army.The scholars and people of Wushan have always heard of the reputation of General Guo and often lead the benevolent and righteous army. We knelt here for a long time and led the military and civilians of Wushan to surrender to the Great Zhou. We pray that General Zhou’s army would love the people and not kill innocent people indiscriminately...
Guo Shao turned around and said: Zuo You, you should go to the People's List as soon as possible and strictly observe the military law.
After saying that, Guo Shao led his army into the city while ordering the vanguard to take advantage of the victory and headed towards Qutang Gorge.Qutang Gorge, the last line of defense that the Three Gorges had in the past was Kuizhou, the key to Shu Kingdom.
On March 20, 958, the Eastern Route Army set out from Jiangling Prefecture on the second day of March. It had just passed eighteen days and marched 660 miles to Wushan County.
……
Kuizhou, Shu Kingdom (now Fengjie, Chongqing), Wang Zhaoyuan's eastern defense base camp.Wang Zhaoyuan didn't know that Wuxia had fallen, and he was scolding the North Road Army Han Baozheng for being a fool.
Not long ago, I received news that Han Baozheng, the leader of the Northern Route Army, had lost Hanzhong.
The commander of the Zhou army, Xiang Gong and another military general named Cao Bin, broke through Qingniling in two groups; Han Baozheng led a large army of 20,000 to form a decisive battle in Xingzhou Beicheng, and was defeated.
Han Baozheng was spared only. After fleeing back to Hanzhong, he left the city and rushed south with the deployment to retreat to Jianmen Pass.
(In history, the person guarding the Jianmen was the foolish military general Zhao Chongtao; however, Zhao Chongtao was unfortunately caught by Guo Shao in Qingniling a few years ago. Guo Shao blamed him for killing the nun who reported to Zhou Jun indiscriminately, and he had already cut it down.)
Wang Zhaoyuan spoke in public in anger in the lobby: Han Baozheng is so bragging about the sky, but in fact he is full of grass. The chief general recommended by Prime Minister Li Hao is such a virtue.He was so big that he could easily lose such a large place in Hanzhong and only stayed for more than ten days.Damn it, in more than ten days, even if Zhou Jung-soldiers go there without bloodshed, it may not be possible.
The staff immediately agreed: It’s a pity that Hanzhong and Dongchuan are thousands of miles apart, and Wang Jianjun cannot take care of both routes.
After hearing this, Wang Zhaoyuan shook the goose-feather fan in his hand and sighed: It has been more than 700 years since Zhuge, and only 700 years in Shu can be called a Wolong. How can I find another Wolong to guard the North Road?If there is another person as famous as me, Da Shu will be as solid as a golden soup.
The Jiedushi Gao Yanqi was stunned and speechless.But the counselors around Wang Zhaoyuan agreed seriously.
Gao Yanqi couldn't help asking: Can the Three Gorges Defense Line really block the elite Zhou army?How long can it be blocked?
General Gao, are you questioning my deployment?Wang Zhaoyuan sneered, Wuxi defense line and Wushan Village became an offensive and defensive force.The Wuxi defense line is like a iron wall on both water and land. Unless the Zhou army grows wings and flies from the sky, it will never break through my formation. This is to defend; the Wushan Village on the flank is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and can harass the Zhou army at any time, this is to attack.I have thought about Wuxia in three to five years, hahaha...
Report!Suddenly, a young general rushed into the lobby, knelt on one knee, and reported to the deputy envoy of the king, Wushan County Magistrate and Town General surrendered the city. The Zhou army vanguard advanced along the water and land, and was coming towards Qutang Gorge!
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the lobby, and Gao Yanqi stood up in shock.
Wang Zhaoyuan had a dark face: Are you lying about military affairs?
The young general said fearfully: I dare not... The last general came from Wushan County. After receiving the order from the general, he came to report the news and saw the Zhou army's troops with his own eyes.This is a letter written by the general of the town, please ask Deputy Envoy Wang to take a look.
Wang Zhaoyuan hurriedly tore it apart and looked at it, his face was even more incredible: Wuxi Li Dong surrendered?Wushan Fort was captured by the Zhou army a few days ago... but it didn't hold it for a long time?
damn it!Wang Zhaoyuan was furious. The Zhou army had more than 600 miles from Jiangling Prefecture to Wushan County. Ge Laozi didn't send a soldier and a soldier and asked them to travel for more than ten days, and he might not be able to reach Wushan County.These candids!
Gao Yanqi hurriedly said: This is not the time to ask for guilt. The roads in Qutang Gorge are narrow and difficult to move, and it is impossible to deploy troops.Wang Jianjun quickly ordered to send someone to burn the plank roads along the way to stop the Zhou army!
Wang Zhaoyuan sat there unable to accept the reality and kept scolding: "I will mislead me!"I'm seamlessly deploying, how did they do it, Ah?
Gao Yanqi advised: Wang Jianjun does not need to blame himself. The way of using troops is to use real swords and guns can't beat even if the Wolong, which is once every seven hundred years, is impossible.Guo Shao destroyed the two Li 100,000 troops last year, and it took him fifteen days to attack thousands of miles away!The opponent is not an idiot, so let’s not underestimate the enemy anymore.
There are many rivers in Shu Kingdom, and many soldiers can swim, but it is difficult to swim in armor.
There are countless dead.
Order Dong Zunhui to stop the attack immediately!Guo Shao suddenly shouted.
Wenwu, who had already caught up to watch the battle, was immediately in an uproar, and people looked sideways, thinking that Guo Shao was suddenly nervous.
