Chapter 1623 A strategy to attack the heart

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Jing did not stay long in Anyang County, Wei County, and immediately led his army to the west to attack Wang Deren who was entrenched in Linlu Mountain.  All political affairs of Wei County were handed over to Xu Wenying.

    Li Jingben was appointed as the county magistrate of Wei County. This position was originally assigned by Huang Mingyuan to facilitate Li Jing and Zhang Ke's power struggle.  Unexpectedly, Zhang Ke didn't care at all and gave up the power of the county. The appointment of Li Jing as the county magistrate of Wei County seemed embarrassing. After all, Li Jing could not serve in the county for a long time.

    Li Jing was a cautious person and did not want to interfere in political affairs, so he resigned from Huang Mingyuan.  So Huang Mingyuan appointed Xu Wenying, the former prefect of Zhao County, as the Prime Minister of Wei County to take charge of county affairs.

    Xu Wenying was transferred from the prefect of Yiyi County to the county magistrate of Wei County. No matter how you look at it, it is a demotion. Moreover, he is Huang Mingyuan's confidant.  However, Xu Wenying didn't care at all and happily went to be his Wei County magistrate.

    Of course Huang Mingyuan will not demote officials at will.  By transferring Xu Wenying to Wei County, Huang Mingyuan was preparing to rebuild Yecheng and develop it into the center of Hebei.

    Since Yuan Shao started in the late Han Dynasty, Yecheng has been the center of Hebei for four hundred years.  It was not until the Northern Zhou Dynasty that Yang Jian pacified the rebellion of Yuchi Jiong, the general manager of Xiangzhou (where Yecheng was governed). In order to prevent the resurgence of anti-Yang forces in Hebei, he ordered the burning of Yecheng, and all the famous people were reduced to ruins.  The official offices of Xiangzhou, Wei County and Ye County and most of the local residents moved south to Anyang City.  But the land of Yecheng overlooks the Central Plains to the south, borders Hebei to the north, connects to Hedong to the west, and connects to Qingyan in the east. It can be said to be the key point of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan. It is a battleground for military strategists and a barrier to Hanoi.  This is also an important reason why Huang Mingyuan is preparing to rebuild the city here.

    In the future, Yecheng will even become a companion capital. Why doesn't Xu Wenying want to be the county magistrate?  As for the name of the prefect, it was not that important to Xu Wenying, who was born as a son-in-law.

    Xu Wenying was tough and capable, otherwise Huang Mingyuan would not have arranged for him to go to Zhao County to suppress the Li family.

    Huang Mingxu previously occupied Liyangcang, and later opened up the transportation link from Liyangcang to Wei County, which actually divided Ji County into two.  After Xu Wenying went south this time, he unceremoniously sent people to take over Liyang, Neihuang, Chanyuan (today's Puyang County, Puyang City, Henan Province), Linhe (today's northeast of Jun County, Henan Province), and Liyang to the east and north of Liyangcang.  Tangyin five counties.

    As a result, most of Ji County was included in Wei County.  Regarding Xu Wenying's unreasonable behavior, Meng Shanyi, the governor of Jijun, wanted to cry without tears. He had no choice but to sue Xu Wenying to Duke Wei.  Xu Wenying didn't even care about Meng Shanyi's complaint. He didn't know how long he could be the prefect of Ji County.

    While Xu Wenying was reforming according to the old system of Youzhou, he was also rebuilding Ye City based on Ye County City.

    And Li Jing quickly led his troops to annihilate Wang Deren.

    Wang Deren is from Jijun.  After the chaos in the world, Wang Deren gathered tens of thousands of people in Linlu Mountain (now Linzhou, Henan) and looted everywhere.

    The area around Linlu Mountain has steep mountains, drought and water shortage, so the local customs are fierce.

    Wang Deren relied on the terrain and held on to the danger.

    Li Jing marched all the way, fought and won consecutively, and reached the foot of Linlu Mountain, where he confronted Wang Deren.

    Li Jing saw that there were many bandits and the mountains were difficult and dangerous, and that they could not be defeated all at once, so he prepared to use the strategy of internal division and disintegration to disintegrate Wang Deren's troops.

    Although Wang Deren is the big leader of Linlu Mountain, due to the topography of the Linlu Mountains, there are many mountains everywhere. Rather than having tens of thousands of troops, Wang Deren is better to say that the leaders of each mountain under his command have tens of thousands of troops.  Wang Deren, on the other hand, is more like a martial arts leader who suppresses everyone with his strength and prestige.

    On this day, the Sui army captured one of Wang Deren's spies, and Li Jing personally stepped forward to inquire.  The spy was also cunning, and he bluntly said that he was a good citizen, but because his parents and wife were imprisoned by Wang Deren as hostages, he had no choice but to become a thief.  Only if the situation of Sui Jun can be found out, his parents and wife can be spared, otherwise the whole family will be executed.

    Li Jing could see through the other party at a glance. Those who can be spies among thieves must be elite. How can you just find someone to be a spy?  However, Li Jing deliberately pretended to believe what he said and asked him to send messages from various departments in the mountains for him.

    "Report the thief for me, and I will fight tomorrow. If anyone can release his armor to meet me, he will sign on his back and say "Return to Submission", and he will be able to return to farming." So he let this person go.

    The spy returned to the camp happily and told the story to everyone in the mountain, which caused everyone to laugh. Many people laughed at the pedantic Sui general.

    The next day, Li Jing indeed sent troops and set up two large flags with the words "Only kill Wang Deren and leave the rest alone."

    At the same time, Li Jing summoned people from all over Linlu and asked those who had relatives who were bandits in the mountains to shout at the foot of the mountain.

    So the people persuaded their relatives to surrender one after another, which made the bandits in the villages everywhere panic.

    Wang Deren was filled with hatred but could do nothing.

    Li Jing ordered people to blockade various places again.On the road, it is like trapping thieves and bandits.

    Sure enough, many small hills could not bear this pressure and chose to surrender.  Li Jing gave generous compensation to those who came to surrender, gave them good advice, and wrote the word "surrender" on their backs. Then he asked them to return to the mountain camp and tell those who had not surrendered.

    These people carried flags, beat gongs and drums, and shouted loudly, causing people in the villages to become even more chaotic.  Although Wang Deren tried his best to restrain him, many small villages far away from the main stronghold were not afraid of Wang Deren at all. When they saw something bad, they surrendered immediately.

    Wang Deren could not restrain the leaders elsewhere, so he had to try his best to restrain the leaders in his own camp.  Wang Deren himself is a rough man, and he is not very good at winning people's hearts. His daily restraints are mostly based on intimidation.  If it were the other day, most people would be afraid.  But today, soldiers are pressing down on the territory, people are in panic, and the people in the camp hate Wang Deren a little more.

    Soon the soldiers in the main camp also surrendered to the Sui army.

    Wang Deren strictly ordered his confidants to guard the gate of the camp. Anyone found surrendering would be executed.  He even killed more than ten people as a warning to others.

    But this does not inspire fear in everyone.

    Li Jing was again at the foot of the mountain, piling up food and property everywhere, and threatened that the surrendered bandits would take it for themselves on a first-come, first-served basis.  These thieves stole food and property, and their morale was even higher.

    People shouted "If you go too late, there will be no more", so they went down the mountain to surrender. Overnight, there were tens of thousands of bandits who went to the Sui army to surrender.

    Wang Deren was shocked. Seeing that the situation was over, he decided to break out to the west.  As long as you escape into the Taihang Mountains, you will have a chance to come back.

    It¡¯s just that Li Jing didn¡¯t give Wang Deren a chance at all.

    The two sides fought, and the Sui army used powerful crossbows to suppress the bandits, which gave Wang Deren a huge shock.  At this time, the last stubborn people surrendered one after another in order to survive.

    Among the bandits, they were scrambling to surrender. People who didn't know better thought they were charging.

    Seeing this, Wang Deren had no choice but to lead dozens of his confidants to flee westward, and was eventually captured by the Sui army.

    Li Jing killed the captured Wang Deren. Except for some of Wang Deren's diehard loyalists, he did not kill anyone more.  As a result, the Lin Lushan rebellion was completely put down.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
