This time, in order to make the various places surrender better, considering that there are a large number of Yueyi County in Yueyi County, Zhang He decided to use fierce fire oil tanks to open the way while heading south.
The dense forests encountered along the way, those areas that seemed to be full of miasma, were directly set on fire.
Walking all the way, burning all the way, killing all the way, Zhang Yun's progress is still very efficient.
On the other side, the army led by the veteran Huang Zhong was defended and blocked by the chain of camps set up by Yonglu, and could not advance on the only way.
The old general was very angry, and directly ordered the army to sacrifice fierce fire oil tanks and shocking thunder.
There were bursts of thunder on one side and bursting fireballs on the other. In a short period of time, Yonglu's army was completely disintegrated, and the chain of camps he had painstakingly set up became a miniature version of the burning company.
Under Huang Zhong's thunder and fire offensive, Yong Lu collapsed. He himself was shot to death by an officer in the army, and the entire army was wiped out.
Next, Huang Zhong also adopted the same method, going all the way south and burning all the way.
In some places where the roads are densely covered with jungles, the forests were set on fire, and a large number of fierce oil tanks were used. The raging fire burned a road to the south.
When the two sided divisions Qi Qi and Qi Qi failed miserably, when Yuexi County and Cangcai County were in danger, Yong Kai didn't know about it yet.
He is aggressively leading the main force of [-] people to march forward by land and water, towards Zhuti County, showing off his power all the way, singing and dancing to boost morale——
If he didn't boost morale along the way, he estimated that a lot of this army would run away before taking a few steps.
There is no way, Nanzhong is such a big place, with such a little food and fodder, it is really not enough to support many soldiers, and it is not easy to get 3 people to follow along to strengthen the momentum.
That's why he really wanted to acquire Shuzhong as his foundation to rule the king.
In recent years, Shuzhong has been governed by Wei State very well.
He heard that the population in central Shu has increased greatly, and that granaries everywhere are full, and arsenals everywhere are also very abundant. If he can get it, based on his existing foundation, he can immediately separate the central Shu and become a The second Liu Zhang.
Moreover, the political situation in Wei State has been unstable in recent years, and Luoyang is always doing big things. He can often hear that the gentry in central Shu criticize Guo Peng and are very dissatisfied with Guo Peng.
No, this time it was said that Guo Peng made an attack on Chaju. The gentry in central Shu were astonished and could not accept it, so they decided to unite with him to drive away the Wei government and regain Yizhou, a Yizhou native.
If he can cooperate with this group of people, he feels that it must not be a bad thing.
It's a pity that the news leaked before the matter was done, or even started.
Chapter 1212 One thousand 120 two and then Yong Kai died
After the news leaked, Yong Kai knew that Wei Jun's revenge would definitely come, but he didn't know when it would come.
So now that it's here, he doesn't think it's strange, he just goes straight to meet it.
You do have more troops than I do, but so what?
With this kind of traffic situation, if you can afford the food and fodder transportation of those troops, I will lose, okay?
As long as the war enters a stalemate, Yong Kai can guarantee that he can win.
Yes, as long as the war enters a stalemate.
If the war could not enter a stalemate, but faced a huge defeat from the very beginning, then Yong Kai's resistance would be meaningless.
He just doesn't know it yet.
He kept sending sentries to explore the road, and learned that the direction of the Wei army was Weixian. The Wei army planned to use Weixian as the base of advance, and then attacked Dianchi Lake to obtain the entire Yizhou County.
This is something he cannot accept.
So he decisively led the whole army to Wei County, deployed defenses around Wei County, set up defenses, set up many difficulties and traps, and waited for Wei Jun to come.
He knew that he would not be able to fight against Wei Junye. During the several tentative wars in the past few years, he also probably understood that Wei Jun's combat effectiveness was very fierce, so he thought about fighting defensively and setting up defenses around Wei County to prevent Wei Jun continued to go south.
If you persist in this way, you can force the Wei army to run out of food and grass, and then retreat, and he will win.
On February 26, the eighth year of Yande, Li Qian led 5000 vanguards of the Wei army to the surrounding area of Wei County. After a round of inspection, they found that the Yongkai army had deployed defenses here and set up a line of defense.
After reporting the news to Le Jin, Li Qian decided to launch a tentative attack to test the defense strength of Yong Kai's army.
The Wei army chose a dangerous camp to attack. The soldiers climbed up with shields to attack. The soldiers of the Yongkai army defended with arrows and rolling logs and stones. The Wei army did not carry weapons for attacking fortifications and suffered some losses. So Li Qian ordered to stop the attack. .
Li Gan gathered his troops, retreated a little, and began to set up camp, waiting for Le Jin's main force. Yong Kai was even more elated when he heard that the army had won a defensive battle, and felt that his strategic thinking was extremely correct.
He rewarded the chief general of that camp heavily, and then ordered all the camps to guard cautiously, not to attack without permission, and thus exhausted the Wei army to death.
After Li Qian's tentative attack failed, he gathered his troops and retreated, and then personally led people to observe the fortifications of the Yongkai army.
"Yong Kai is really capable. He knows how to rely on the mountain to set up a defense line. If our army doesn't have weapons to attack fortified areas, we will definitely lose a lot of soldiers and horses here."
Li Gan is also a veteran in the army. He has been following Guo Peng since he served as the governor of Qingzhou. Although he is not very outstanding, he is also a general at the backbone level with rich experience.
Looking at Yong Kai's formation, he knew that Yong Kai didn't want to fight the Wei army at close range, but wanted to drag the Wei army down with the steep terrain and comprehensive defense.
If it was someone else, it might really wear him down, but Wei Jun is really not afraid of him.
On February 28, Le Jin's main force arrived at the temporary camp around Wei County, and saw Yong Kai's camp defense line built against the mountain.
"This Yong Kai is quite capable. If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would have to suffer a bit here."
Le Jin's evaluation was the same as Li Qian's.
So Le Jin ordered and decided to adopt long-distance attack tactics, throwing the improved Zhentianlei into their camp one by one, and sending the fierce fire oil cans to Yongzhou by Feitian express. Kai's camp.
Then sit at a place far away to watch the scene of the burning company.
It's not their fault that the information is blocked, and they don't understand the improvement of Wei Jun's siege equipment, but it's their fault that they never tried to understand, and they still use the same old ways.
The times have changed, and the improvement of siege equipment has made Wei Jun pay attention to fire prevention measures when building camps by himself, so as to avoid his own problems caused by mistakes.
Yong Kai didn't know, so when he knew that his defense system was completely burned by the Wei army, it was not that he couldn't understand his sadness.
Under the fire, no one could be spared. His defense line collapsed quickly, while the Wei army quickly attacked, encircling Weixian County, and Yong Kai was trapped in Weixian County.
Some of the 4000 troops he brought died in the previous fire, some were captured, and more than half of them fled. Now there are only more than [-] troops under his control in Weixian County.
To be honest, the lack of discipline in these armies meant that they would collapse at the first touch, literally. After fighting for so many years, Le Jin also missed this feeling.
This kind of feeling only existed when the Yellow Turban Army and local bandits were being dealt with back then.
The armies of warlords in other places are more or less organized and effective.
Fazheng dismissed Yongkai's army.
"General, break the city as soon as possible. It's really not a good idea to waste time with such a bastard. We still have a lot of things to do. General, don't forget."
Le Jin nodded, agreeing with this.
He does still have a lot of things to do, such as massacre local clans, deforestation and land reclamation, cleaning up Yong Kai is only the first step in the Nanzhong War, and the real Nanzhong War is a whole series of things to do. The only step is to eliminate Yong Kai.
Yong Kai was still stubbornly resisting, commanding the army to defend the city desperately to resist the Wei army, but the low and dilapidated city wall was really vulnerable under the triple blow of the Wei army's stones, thunder and fierce fire oil tanks.
Soon, there was a gap in the city wall, and the Wei army intensified the bombardment of the city wall, and actually blasted a big hole in one of the city walls. The soldiers fought hard.
The private soldiers around Yong Kai are also relatively elite, with complete armor and equipment that is not the same as those cannon fodder, but facing the Wei army, this equipment only slightly delays their death time, and has no other use.
The war soon turned to a tilt. Yong Kai's private soldiers retreated steadily, unable to resist the advance of the Wei army. The Wei army soon surrounded Yong Kai's remnants and killed Yong Kai.
Seeing that the general situation was over, Yong Kai actually took out his identity as the governor of Nanzhong, and asked Wei Jun on the opposite side to explain why he wanted to harm him.
Fazheng didn't bother to explain to him at all, and suggested that Le Jin just kill him and hack him to death.
Le Jin accepted Fazheng's suggestion, and with an order, the Wei army launched a general attack, and in the end Yong Kai was hacked to death with random knives, without leaving him a whole body.
Yong Kai's entire army was annihilated and completely defeated, and his fragile Nanzhong regime was completely disintegrated. At this moment, it was only half a month before the Wei army officially dispatched troops.
chapter 1213 one thousand one hundred twenty three Lu Kai's tradeoff
The strength gap between the two sides made it easy for Wei Jun to win the war without much effort.
The Nanzhong regime looks powerful, but in fact it is like paper in front of Wei Jun. With a little force, this layer of window paper will be broken.
The first phase of the war is over, but the second phase of the war has just begun.
Fazheng presided over the second phase of the military meeting.
He suggested that the whole army immediately shift from the main attack to a dispersed attack, and go to various places to slaughter powerful families, burn manors, exterminate southern and central barbarians, and set fire to forests.
"It's only the beginning of March, and the weather is not hot yet. I can't feel it at this time, but once it gets hot in April and May, the climate in Nanzhong will have a certain impact on our army. For this reason, burn Lin's task of opening up wasteland must be accelerated."
Fazheng put forward his own views and got Le Jin's support, so under Le Jin's arrangement, each army and battalion began to disperse their actions, each received tasks, and then rushed to various places.
Le Jin and Fa Zheng led [-] main forces to Dianchi County and easily took down Dianchi County.
It was the sixth day of March at this time. Set up a base based on this place, attack the city and seize the territory everywhere, quickly defeat the place, slaughter the famous people in the place, and then replace them.
Other forces still have concerns and doubts about this, and are accustomed to taking simple measures, that is, appointing local people as officials to stabilize the local area, share power with the local people, and obtain the right to rule.
However, the Guowei Empire has enough size, officials, troops, and national power to take a completely conquering attitude towards Nanzhong, completely subdue Nanzhong, and form a system to destroy its upper class in society and reshape a brand new upper class instead.
As a result, three of the four counties in Nanzhong will be fully controlled by the Wei army.
Also, it is the last Yongchang County.
Yongchang County can be regarded as a wonderful flower among Yizhou counties.
The reason is also very simple, because it has a very large population.
The predecessor of Yongchang County was a small country named Ailao. In the 12th year of Emperor Yongping of the Han Ming Dynasty, Liu Maung, king of Ailao, was attached to the country. At that time, the population was about [-] households. Emperor Han Ming set up Yongchang County to rule them.
During the reign of Emperor Hanhe, the Eastern Han government conducted a large-scale census. Such a border county had a population of 1809 million.
It is true that the Han population is very small, and most of them are Min, Pu, Jiuliao, naked Pu, Biaoyue, and Shendu people.
But this number is far more than the third in the four counties of Nanzhong, and even ranks first in the whole Yizhou and even the whole world.
Therefore, the social situation in Yongchang County is also very complicated.
The Han people are the absolute leaders, but all the [big surnames] living in the border areas, one is considered a big Han family, and they are the ruling strongholds of the Western Han and Eastern Han governments in the border areas.
They rely on intermarriage with local people, cooperate with local indigenous forces to obtain local ruling power, and become [common surnames]. They often have strong economic control and political influence over the local area, and therefore have strong force.
This is an important means for the Han government to rely on these local wealthy families to control remote and inaccessible places.
Such means are certainly beneficial, but once the dynasty is weakened, it is extremely easy for the powerful and powerful commanders in this remote place to bring their Yi and Han tribes to make trouble.
Some people in Guo don't like this kind of method, so to deal with these people, they can basically eliminate them physically, and then build villages and establish grassroots political power.
They have made immortal contributions to the rule of the Han Dynasty, but the current era requires them to withdraw from the stage of history.
For Yongchang County, the method is naturally the same, and Yongchang County will not be treated differently just because Lu Kai, the county official of Yongchang County, expresses his surrender.
In fact, this Lu Kai did a good job. He protected the environment and defended himself, resisted Yong Kai, clamped Yong Kai's rear, and sent people to Chengdu many times to express his surrender.
Even so, because the status of Yongchang County is really important, and the rich products and population conditions of Yongchang County are also coveted by someone Guo.
So in any case, he cannot promise Yongchang County to continue to maintain the state of detention.
Especially in such a complicated environment, there are too many people of all ethnic groups living in Yongchang County. If effective governance cannot be carried out, Yongchang County will be tantamount to nothing. Guo, who is coveting local resources, cannot accept this situation. .
So Guo Peng told Fazheng to find a way to get Yongchang County into his hands.
Fazheng is very clear that the emperor attaches great importance to Yongchang County, and the emperor's requirement for Yongchang County is complete possession and effective governance. All the people in Yongchang County will become registered households under the emperor's rule.
So Fazheng thought about it, and after Le attacked and occupied Dianchi County, wiped out the entire Yongkai clan and the upper class of society, he began to write letters to Lu Kai.
[Yong Kai, the frog in the well, is indescribable. It is so arrogant to use the three counties of Nanzhong and Nanzhong to contend against our million-dollar army. , death and family annihilation, reduced to a joke, isn't it a story of Yelang's arrogance?
Mr. Lu understands righteousness and is loyal to the country. He sent envoys to Chengdu several times to tell of his loyalty, which made him favor the emperor. The emperor heard about it and praised Mr. Lu's loyalty. Now he is willing to reward Mr. Lu for his loyalty with his official position in Luoyang, and hope that Mr. Lu's family will return to the Central Plains. Wouldn't it be a good talk? 】
Fazheng's letter was considered polite, because Guo Peng asked him to be more polite, but he also wanted to convey the concept of [Wei Jun is bound to pacify Yongchang County] and let Lu Kai know.
Lu Kai will know what will happen to Yong Kai, and will also make some comparisons, weigh the pros and cons, and think about the difference between staying in Yongchang County and returning to the Central Plains with his family.
With the comparison, Guo Peng believes that Lu Kai will make the right choice.
This letter was soon sent to Buwei County, the prefecture of Yongchang County, together with Wei Jun's public appeal.
At this time, Yongchang County had already received news that Wei Jun had quelled the Yongkai Rebellion for more than half a month.
The Wei army was so aggressive that it only took half a month to completely wipe out the tyrannical Yong Kai, and also wiped out his family. It is said that Meng Huo, who followed Yong Kai, was also killed. The Wei army acted vigorously and resolutely. .
All the prestigious Yi-Han people in Yongchang County who were able to speak up gathered in Buwei County, where they held group meetings to discuss countermeasures.
Wei Jun's proclamation made it very clear that when Wei Jun finished cleaning up the remnants of Yong Kai's forces in Yizhou County and those who had attached to him in the past, they would go south to Yongchang County.
