Chapter 113 Li Ji and Wei Zheng(1/2)
Xu Shiji sent people to Wagang Village to sway Li Mi’s Wei Gong flag.
Zhang Hua cheated Shan Xiongxin, and then recruited the powerful general Cheng Yaojin and led his troops to pursue Wagang Village.
Xu Shiji stood on the wall of Wagang Village, looking at the Xia Zhen soldiers and horses who were at the city, feeling complicated.
Not long ago, the Wagang army was still besieging Liangjiabao, and now, the troops in Xiazhen are besieging Wagang Village.
"Persuad to surrender Li Mi."
Zhang Hua, Chen Gong and others were deceived by Xu Shiji's Li Daitaozhuan's plan, thinking that Li Mi had fled back to Wagang Village, so they sent people to Wagang Village to persuade them to surrender.
"Jiang Qin, Chen Wu, Liao Hua, Geng Gong, are ordered to come and help!"
Shortly after Zhang Hua's troops arrived at Wagang Village, four generals led their troops into the sphere of influence of Wagang Village, came to the bottom of Wagang Village, and met with Zhang Hua.
Four generals worked together to repel the Yellow Banner troops of Nurhaci's twelfth son Ajige, and came to join forces with Zhang Hua to attack Wagang Village.
In order to defeat Ajige, these generals lost more than a thousand people.
However, as long as Wagang Village is annexed, all losses can be compensated.
"This battle is unprecedentedly tragic, thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Hua glanced at the group of military generals who had been fighting for a long time. Because the two powerful enemies, Wagangzhai and Dorgon, were attacking, the Xiazhen military generals were unprecedented in cohesion, and these military generals developed a sense of belonging to the forces they were located.
In order to prevent Shan Xiongxin from killing Zhang Hua, Mulan fought hard and suffered internal injuries, which made Zhang Hua feel distressed.
The other generals were also injured many times in this battle, and all made great achievements.
Without any military general, it may be possible to lose.
Master Zhong said, "We are nothing to be grateful to the Lord."
"When I capture Wagang Village, I will hold a banquet to entertain you all, and see if each of them has their own achievements to promote."
After everyone sacrificed their lives and made contributions, Zhang Hua could not without expression.
The generals replied, "Thank you lord!"
Zhang Hua led them to defeat powerful forces and their prestige increased greatly. These generals have successively called Zhang Hua the lord.
They are equivalent to rebirth and re-selecting power.
While Zhang Hua started to attack Wagang Village, he sent people to surrender.
Zhang Hua would not give Li Mi a chance to breathe, he only gave Wagang Village half a day to consider whether he would be willing to surrender.
If you don’t drop, you will fight until you drop.
"Lord, Xu Shiji, the garrison general of Wagang Village, claimed to be willing to surrender!"
The envoy who was on the Wagang Village sent back and brought back good news.
"Strange, didn't Li Mi lead his troops back to Wagang Village? Why did the guard of Wagang Village become Xu Shiji?"
Everyone in Xia Town pursued Li Mi's general flag. When they saw the rolling sandstorm and dust generated by a large number of cavalrymen, they entered Wagang Village. Naturally, they subconsciously thought that Li Mi retreated to Wagang Village to protect themselves.
Chen Gong thought for a while and probably understood the right and wrong. "No, this is Xu Shiji's plan for Li Daidao. He therefore set up a suspicious army, making us think that he is Li Mi. The real Li Mi may have already left here."
"Xu Shiji's wisdom is really outstanding. He deceived us just by trying to trick him. However, Xu Shiji did not seem to have tried his best."
Zhang Hua always felt that Xu Shiji had reservations and did not do his best.
"Let Xu Shiji come to see me."
Zhang Hua was almost killed by Li Mi's ambushing plan. Xu Shiji, who was worried that his wiser was ambushing the troops in Wagang Village. For safety reasons, Zhang Hua ordered Xu Shiji to come to Zhang Hua's camp to meet him.
Xu Shiji came with a few confidants, who were holding a large number of documents in their hands.
Zhang Hua met Xu Shiji, a military advisor from Wagang Village.
During the Wagangzhai period, Xu Shiji was only in his twenties, and was about the same age as Zhang Hua, and could still fight for decades.
"This is the household registration of all villages and towns in Wagang Village. Wagang Village originally had a population of 250,000, and Qin Town, with a population of 70,000, which was 320,000. Because Liangjiabao's offensive and defense, the Wagang Army and Dorgon's servants lost more than 20,000 people, and Li Mi took away thousands more, so now it should have a population of 290,000."
Xu Shikuai knows it all, explaining the most important population situation.
Zhang Hua roughly estimated that after annexing Jin Wushu, his population was 270,000, and later he swept away bandits and refugees in the Mangshan Mountains, and the population of Zhanghua's territory increased to 300,000.
Because of the fierce battle with Li Mi and Dorgon, the population of Zhang Hua's territory was sharply reduced to 280,000.
Wagangzhai and Qin Town have a population of 290,000.
Then the total population of Zhang Hua's power became 570,000.
"Why didn't you leave with Li Mi, but chose to defect to me?"
Zhang Hua stared at Xu Shiji. Xu Shiji's intelligence value was very high, which made Zhang Hua unpredictable.
"I don't have a good impression of Dorgon and I don't want to surrender. But Li Mi has kindness to me, so I wish Li Dai Taosan and try to escape for him, which is considered to be a repayment. As for me, I still hope to do something."
Xu Shiji explained the reason frankly.
Rescuing Li Mi was to repay his kindness, and seeking favor to Zhang Hua was a personal choice.
Zhang Hua was quite satisfied with Xu Shiji's explanation, so he left Xu Shiji behind.
Xu Shiji was a famous general of the Sui and Tang dynasties. He fought for fifty years. Xu Shiji was seen in almost all wars between all sizes during the Sui and Tang dynasties. Xu Shiji was also one of the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion.
Xu Shiji took the initiative to surrender and presented him to Wagang Village, allowing Zhang Hua to avoid the fierce siege, which made a great contribution.
"From now on, I plan to change my name to Li Ji and no longer call him Xu Shiji."
To everyone's surprise, Xu Shiji took the initiative to change his name to Li Ji, which had nothing to do with Wagang Village, and fought in all directions as Li Ji.
"Li Ji..."
Zhang Hua knew that Xu Shiji was going to say goodbye to the history of Wagang Village.
Xu Shiji knew that after he defected to Li Shimin, he would become a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. He had higher pursuits in his heart and no longer regarded himself as a general in Wagang Village.
Behind Li Ji, a civil servant caught Zhang Hua's attention.
"Who are you?"
"In the lower Wei Zheng, whose courtesy name is Xuancheng."
"Li Mi uses you to manage the internal affairs of Wagang Village. It seems that you are familiar with the affairs of the villages and towns in Wagang Village. In the future, you and Maogong will work with me."
Zhang Hua calmly recruited Wei Zheng and maintained his majesty.
But Zhang Hua was secretly surprised.
Wei Zheng was also one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and Wei Zheng was a civil servant.
Wei Zheng was one of Li Shimin's prime ministers and was famous for his direct advice against Yan. The story of "Wei Zheng dreamed of killing the Dragon King of Jinghe" was also circulated among the people.
The forces of Li Ji, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, and Zhang Hua suddenly had three heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion.
The twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion are somewhat similar to the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, and some are those who have made great achievements and relatively mediocre people.
However, Li Ji, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, and the three heroes of Lingyan Pavilion have both fame and strength.
Among them, Li Ji may have the strongest ability.
In the founding generals of the Tang Dynasty, the only ones who used troops to surpass Li Ji may be the only ones who were the war god Li Jing and General Tiance Li Shimin.
After plundering part of his luck in the plane's son Liu Xiu, Zhang Hua began to poach Li Shimin's corner. Before these civil and military officials and generals met Li Shimin, they recruited him in advance.
Li Ji, Wei Zheng, and Cheng Yaojin don’t know Li Shimin yet, let alone be loyal to him.
It is not bad to steal other lucky sons from civil officials and military officials.
...
Nurhaci's territory, Dorgon and Ajige returned with the remaining soldiers, and brought back Li Mi and Wang Bodang.
"This battle actually lost fifteen Niulu!"
Nurhaci was furious when he heard about Dorgon and Ajige's losses.
Dorgon and Ajige led their troops to help Li Mi, but they got nothing, and lost fifteen Niulu.
deficit!
Blood loss!
Fifteen Niulus are equivalent to the force of a flag!
"The child is incompetent..."
Ajige and Dorgon were sweating profusely, but he had no choice but to blame him.
They were indeed defeated, with few soldiers and generals, fifteen Niulu and four thousand soldiers and horses.
Huang Taiji stood on one side and looked coldly at Nurhaci punishing Ajige and Dorgon, indifferent.
Huang Taiji knew that Zhang Hua was not that easy to deal with.
Ajige and Dorgon's failure this time were even more embarrassed than Huang Taiji. In comparison, Nurhaci paid more attention to Huang Taiji.
After Huang Taiji and Nurhaci merged, they led troops to attack the territory of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, conquered a town and seventeen villages, which made Nurhaci recognize Huang Taiji's ability.
Huang Taiji had the help of his civil minister Fan Wencheng, and not only used force to conquer cities and territory, but also won over, disagree, differentiate, and various means to work together.
