Chapter 162: Troops Arrive in Ganzhou
Liu Chonggui nodded, and Wei Fufeng said again: "Fujian is far away from Tanzhou, and it needs to be decided immediately. If the 14th uncle is similar to the fifth uncle, I will definitely choose the 14th uncle to take charge."
Liu Chonggui said: "Southern Sichuan is remote. Now that you have Fujian, should you define a new central place? Tanzhou was once the ancient capital of the King of Changsha and its location is just right in the center."
Wei Fufeng shook his head and said, "At present, it is not advisable to set a new center. There is no danger to defend the location of Tanzhou. The vassal states are in the vassal state. There is a natural danger to the river in Yuzhou Bacheng in southern Sichuan. Strategically, Bashu can be seized from the north, and along the east can be followed by the river and attacked Jingnan and Eyue. It must be mainly Sichuan and Tanzhou as the auxiliary."
Liu Chonggui said: "You are determined to capture Bashu, are you confident of defeating Fengxiang's army?"
Wei Fufeng shook his head and said, "They don't have confidence, the northerners have strong combat power, and I have confidence to defend Yuzhou without defeat. In fact, I am not afraid of the Fengxiang Army. The most worrying thing is that Zhu Wen, the Xuanwu Army, and the Xuanwu Army unified the Central Plains. Just like the power of Cao Cao in the Han Dynasty, it is difficult for the southern vassal states to resist."
Liu Chonggui nodded and whispered: "Li Maozhen is just a clown who calls him a happy clown. The biggest disaster for the court is the Hedong Army and the Xuanwu Army. Those who will subvert the court in the future will be the two."
Wei Fufeng nodded, not expecting Liu Chonggui to see him and smiled: "You are not bad either. You have made achievements by going to the side, and the southwest is unified. Even if the Central Plains army goes south, it will be difficult for you to do anything. Since ancient times, the southwest and northeast have been the most difficult area for the Central Plains forces to conquer. The main reason is that they do not want to consume the huge amount of national strength to conquer. They just need to pay tribute. The Central Plains Emperor said generously, let him go to the barbarian land."
Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "I'm afraid I will meet a hero like Qin Shihuang, who will be greedy and force me to retreat to Qianzhong Road to become a barbarian."
Liu Chonggui was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and suddenly said in surprise: "Yarang Mansion in southern Sichuan, it turns out that you are using that intention."
Wei Fufeng smiled and said nothing, got up and poured tea for Liu Chonggui, saying, "If my father-in-law knows some capable officials, I hope to write some recommendation letters. The son-in-law needs the Han officials to enter the southwest rule."
......
Wei Fufeng stayed in Guangzhou for three days. While handling matters, he was comfortable and comfortable to be served by Liu Yue'e.
In the boudoir, this little beauty showed her charming methods in various ways, working hard to slap Wei Fufeng's bones, kneeling down and pounding her legs, twisting her waist and hips in a charming manner, and dancing half-naked.
Wei Fufeng was feeling comfortable and thought strangely. When Tian Wen'er saw Liu Yue'e's appearance, she was afraid that she would grit her teeth and trouble the slaves.
Wei Fufeng was not in conflict with Liu Yue'e's hard service. He could feel Liu Yue'e's emotions and fell into an indescribable joy, which was to flatter him and please him out of sincerity.
Wei Fufeng has always been rational in his work, and enjoyment is pleasure. When it is time to do serious things, he can change decisively and never drag on the mud.
He bid farewell to Liu Yue'e, who was reluctant to leave, and led an army of 30,000 on the journey, with his goal directly aimed at Ganzhou (South Ganxi, Jiangxi).
Ganzhou is located in the southernmost part of Jiangxi, also known as the southern part of Ganzhou. Its geographical location is located in the north and connects Jiangxi, Lingnan, Fujian and Tanzhou.
Wei Fufeng occupied Fujian and Lingnan, and Ganzhou became a transportation hub and strategic portal that must be seized.
Ganzhou has been under Jiangxi since ancient times. Jiangxi was named Jiujiang County during the Qin and Han Dynasties. After the Anshi Rebellion, Jiangxi Observation Envoy was established.
The Huang Chao disaster caused the collapse of the Jiangnan government and formed a separatist situation.
The hero Zhong Chuan marched into Hongzhou, defeated and expelled the Jiangxi Observer Gao Maoqing, wrote a letter to the court to pay tribute, and was sentenced to the Tang Dynasty.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The court recognized him as the governor of Zhennan Army.
Although Zhong Chuan became the governor of Jiangxi, his territory was mainly Hongzhou (Nanchang), Jiangzhou and Raozhou in the Poyang Lake area, occupying the northern part of Jiangxi.
Ganzhou is located in the southernmost part of Jiangxi, separated from Zhongchuan territory by Jizhou, Yuanzhou and Fuzhou.
The entire Jiangxi was in separatist territory. Ganzhou was a separatist force, Fuzhou and Xinzhou were a separatist force, Yuanzhou and Jizhou were a separatist force.
Wei Fufeng and Zhong Chuan reached peace. Ganzhou had not been brought to power by Zhong Chuan, and his march was not considered a breach of contract.
The world was divided into various heroes, and the original Tang Dynasty was in vain, and it was completely the logic of robbers.
Wei Fufeng led his army from Guangzhou to Shaozhou, and passed Shaoguan and marched northeast along the Qujiang River.
Three thousand vanguard troops rushed to Dayu Mountain, pretended to be a merchant to seize Meiguan, and then entered Dayu County under Ganzhou, and rushed to occupy Dayu County.
......
Meiguan is surrounded by two peaks, and the tiger lies in Meiling, like a city gate that separates Guangdong and Jiangxi. It has been steep and difficult to move forward since ancient times.
During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, the famous prime minister Zhang Jiuling opened the Meiguan Road, making southern Gansu a water and land transportation hub.
It is an important place for copper and salt to enter and exit, and a center for the distribution of various materials. It communicates with the Central Plains and Fujian and Guangdong and the main channels extending overseas. Therefore, it is often called "the important meeting of the Five Ridges and the throat of Fujian and Guangdong."
Wei Fufeng led his army through Mei Pass and was in a good mood. The success of Mei Pass means that there is no natural danger in Ganzhou. As long as he occupied Ganzhou, it will strategically hinder the Jiangxi vassal states from attacking Lingnan and Fujian.
The army arrived at Dayu County, rested overnight and continued to march northeast. On the way, they took down Nankang County and marched into Ganzhou to govern Gan County.
Ganzhou Governor Lu Guangchou, a local native of Nankang County, gathered people to raise troops during the disaster. He took advantage of the chaos and occupied Ganzhou. He served as the governor and was recognized by the imperial court for only three years.
Wei Fufeng dared to march into Ganzhou, so he naturally understood the situation in Ganzhou.
The governor Lu Guangchou started his army in the first year of Guangqi (885) of Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty. He occupied Ganzhou for five or six years. After five or six years of development, he had an army of 20,000 and his rule was initially stable.
The southern Jiangxi region has complex humanities, including Han people who escaped war in the north, barbarians who were born and raised, and Hakka populations that were rooted in the local area. Lu Guangchou belonged to the Han people who moved to southern Jiangxi after his ancestors.
Wei Fufeng's advance was unexpected. Lu Guangchou's military strength needed to guard all places, leaving his nest with five or six thousand troops.
Wei Fufeng's advance was completely a strong attack, taking advantage of his weakness.
Tens of thousands of troops were approaching the city, and Lu Guangchou hurriedly mobilized 4,000 troops to return to defense.
With nearly 10,000 troops in his mind to defend his support, he sent people to ask Fuzhou Governor Wei Quan, Jizhou Governor Peng Wanggan, and Jiedushi Zhong Chuan for help.
Wei Fufeng looked at the obviously newly built rammed earth city. Most of the cities in his eyes did not have female walls and lacked military defense functions. He asked people to go and persuade them to surrender.
The condition is that Lu Guangchou still serves as the governor of Ganzhou, but he has to hand over most of the military power, leaving only two thousand regiments to become a senior official in the local governance.
Lu Guangchou was unwilling to accept Wei Fufeng's conditions and proposed to only accept, as accepting was a loose affiliation.
Wei Fufeng mobilized his troops and could not accept the nominal subordinates and immediately ordered the siege of the city.
The war drum sounded, and the southern Sichuan army launched an attack on the city, carrying a ladder to the rammed earth wall.
The city walls were also arranged to set up troops, and they were defensive and followed the siege of the city.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
As they approached the city, thousands of crossbow soldiers and archers ran out of the southern Sichuan army and shot at the city wall.
Military crossbows have extremely strong lethality, far shooting and high accuracy.
The military crossbows of the Southern Sichuan Army are actually not durable, mainly because the bow arm can only be used seven or eight times. The regular military crossbow - bow arm will take more than a year to make, and the material is not preferred for bamboo.
The two thousand crossbowmen did not shoot in the sky, but were one hundred people in a wave, mainly attacking the place where the ladder attacked.
For a moment, there were screams on the city, but then there was a rain of arrows in the city, causing casualties to the siege of Sichuan Southern Army.
On the ladder, the southern Sichuan army in armor bravely climbed the city, throwing rolling wood and stones on the city wall, causing many casualties and injuries to the southern Sichuan army.
But with the support of the military crossbow, the southern Sichuan army continued to climb up the city wall and fought fiercely with the defenders.
Wei Fufeng had a gloomy face. The tenacity of the defenders was beyond his expectations. He had always avoided a difficult siege battle for the city. This time, he lost thousands of elite troops for Ganzhou...
Suddenly, more than a dozen people shouted at the city gate. Wei Fufeng heard the order clearly and rushed to yell the golden gongs. The Southern Sichuan Army retreated, but it was the governor Lu Guangchou who accepted Wei Fufeng's conditions.
The gates of Ganxian County were wide open, and a figure with a big red official robe first walked out. This man was burly and majestic. He was about fifty years old, with a slightly gray beard, but his steps were steady and his demeanor was extraordinary.
"Lu Guangchou is defeated, please accept it by Lord Wei." He walked out of the city gate, stopped and raised his head, raised his grace and shouted loudly.
Wei Fufeng suppressed his anger and did not dare to leave the army. The scouts returned, Lu Guangchou was brave, had a strong martial arts skills, was good at riding and shooting, and had a high prestige in Ganzhou.
"Since Governor Lu has been defeated, our army can tolerate it. Ganzhou will be appointed as the governor of Lingnan from now on." Wei Fufeng responded loudly.
"The official is following the order, please ask Lord Wei to enter the city to rest." Lu Guangchou said loudly.
"This army is stationed outside the city, please go back." Wei Fufeng refused loudly.
"The official is leaving." Lu Guangchou shouted loudly and turned back to the city.
Wei Fufeng ordered a camp to be set up and sent five thousand troops to enter the city to take over.
The military forces in the city came out to accept the incorporation, and all the fire chiefs were pulled away to become guards.
The guards of the Southern Sichuan Army went to the army to be recruited and became the chief of fire. The generals who were above the team were ordered to return to the governor Lu.
The company was recruited from subordinates who acted. Wei Fufeng immediately visited the injured soldiers. This time, more than 500 deaths were killed, more than 300 severely disabled, and more than 400 minor injuries.
Although Wei Fufeng was annoyed, he could only let Lu Guangchou go rationally. If Lu Guangchou fought to the end, the consequences would double the losses of the Sichuan Southern Army.
In addition, Wei Fufeng knew that Lu Guangchou had a high prestige in Ganzhou, so he killed Lu Guangchou and the Ganzhou management was boycotted and hated.
However, if you don’t die, you will easily be backfired. Lu Guangchou, a local snake, surrenders from the city and is still majestic, showing his true nature as a hero. He surrenders on the surface, but in fact, it inspires his subordinates to be unyielding in fighting spirit.
Lu Guangchou's actions make heroes not suffer the immediate losses and show their ability to be heroes. As long as they live and have a prestige, they can only find opportunities to turn the tables in the future. The stubborn one would rather destroy the clan and lose nothing.
Wei Fufeng, a powerful dragon, had the means to remove the poisonous fangs of local snakes and recruit Ganzhou's military forces. At the same time, he promised to distribute the fields in Tanzhou and allow the relatives of the soldiers to go to Tanzhou to give them fields.
In the future, I am not satisfied with the fields in Tanzhou and can sell them in three years and return to Ganzhou.
