Chapter 261: Iron Fist Suppression (8)
Two days later, Li Xun finally arrived in Shouchang County. At this time, there were only 500 people in Shouchang County. After a large-scale civil unrest broke out in Wuzhou, tens of thousands of mobs rushed in with the intention of breaking into Xiazhou.
Yu Yanhui was indeed a capable general. While sending someone to notify Li Xun, he immediately led his 1,500 soldiers to Ta County as quickly as possible, and joined forces with 500 local soldiers to defend the city and stop the mob.
Outside Xiazhou.
When Li Xun heard the news, he sighed to the people around him and said, "Yu Yanhui is really a talented general."
Li Xun settled 100,000 people from the Central Plains in Mingsha County and left 500 soldiers to Hou Quan to protect the people.
"Is there any latest news from Yu Yanhui?"
At the Shazhou Defense Envoy Yamen, Li Xun found Wang Jiming, the general who stayed behind, and asked Wang Jiming, the deputy defense envoy.
"This is the latest battle report that just came in an hour ago. Please take a look at it, Commander-in-Chief."
Wang Jiming picked up the battle report from the table and handed it to Li Xun.
Li Xun quickly started to take a closer look. In the early morning of the day before yesterday, an hour after Yu Yanhui arrived in Ta County, just as the defensive troops were urgently deployed, tens of thousands of mobs began to attack the city. Yu Yanhui was on the front line and fought to the death at the top of the city.
, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers who defended the city. The two sides fought fiercely until night, and the mob retreated, leaving the city safe and sound.
Late at night, Yu Yanhui gathered two hundred soldiers and three hundred elites, a total of five hundred people who dared to die, rushed out of the city and rushed into the mob army. He sent people from all directions to bluff, causing the Jin Dynasty army to arrive, and the mob thought that the Jin Dynasty army had arrived.
He was surrounded, and the morale of the army was suddenly in chaos. As a result, the entire army collapsed. Yu Yanhui won a great victory in this battle, killing more than 3,000 enemies, capturing nearly 5,000, and less than 3,000 mobs fled back to Wuzhou.
After reading the battle report, Li Xun was overjoyed and praised repeatedly: "Yu Yanhui made a great contribution in this battle."
Yu Yanhui's battle was not just a simple victory, no matter how many people he killed, but through this battle, he effectively curbed the scale and expansion of the riot and firmly fixed the situation in Wuzhou.
This place prevented the entire situation from completely losing control, and also raised enough time for all parties to deal with this unexpected incident, which played a decisive role in the entire situation.
"Captain, what are your plans next? Are you going to stay here or not?"
Wang Jiming asked aloud, he now only has 500 soldiers guarding Shouchang County, and the pressure is very huge.
Li Xun thought for a while and said: "There are still two thousand soldiers out to inspect the people's situation in various villages. You can call back a thousand people, and let the remaining thousand people be closely guarded around them. Be sure to deal with possible situations first.
If it is extinguished at once, the news of the unrest in Wuzhou will never be allowed to spread throughout Shazhou."
Wang Jiming nodded: "What the governor said is that I will definitely handle this matter."
Li Xun said: "I will rush to Ta County immediately. You have full command here. Don't put too much psychological pressure on you. As long as Ta County is not lost, Xiazhou is stable, and your Shazhou is still safe."
Wang Jiming cupped his hands and said: "General Mo will do his best to comply with the Governor's instructions to ensure the safety of Shazhou."
The two discussed it again, and Li Xun explained the matter very clearly. He just set a goal. You, Wang Jiming, can figure out how to do it. If you do it well, you will be rewarded. If you don't do it well, you will be rewarded by mistake.
For serious matters, severe punishment will not be tolerated.
Li Xun had experienced two major battles in Jiangnan and Longyou, and now he was in charge of a state's military affairs. He may still be lacking in administrative management, but he already had some experience and understanding in the military aspect.
Commanding an army is actually very simple. It only requires sixteen words: 'Military discipline is paramount and no favoritism is involved. Give both kindness and power, and clear rewards and punishments.'
Li Zhong, who has a very high reputation in the Jin Dynasty and even in other countries, has been in Anbei for nearly twenty years and has defeated the powerful Hu tribe many times. What does he rely on? Trick? Strategy? You are smart and others are not stupid. Trick
It’s also a risky strategy, it’s okay once or twice, but if you use it too often, once someone else sees through it and beats you up, it’s more dangerous than being defeated in a head-on battle, and the losses will be much greater.
Li Zhong has been leading the army in Anbei for so many years, winning more and losing less. This is not because of conspiracy, but because of strict military discipline and iron-blooded discipline. Whatever tasks are given to you, no matter how you do them, just look at the results. Once you complete them, you will have your own.
If the reward is not completed, then there is nothing to say.
Two days later, Li Xun led 1,500 soldiers from his headquarters to Ta County.
Yu Yanhui led the crowd to welcome him.
"I have read the military report you sent, and it is very good. After the war is over, I will take credit for you, and I will not treat other soldiers with meritorious service unfairly."
Li Xun said loudly to boost everyone's morale.
Yu Yanhui cupped his hands and said: "It's just an ordinary war, and the general will not dare to take credit for it."
Li Xun smiled: "If you have merit, you should be rewarded. You don't have to be modest."
Yu Yanhui nodded, with a somewhat happy expression on his face, as did the other officers.
Enter Ta County.
After everyone sat down, Li Xun asked: "How is the situation?"
Yu Yanhui said: "The mob has been defeated by me and their energy has been greatly reduced. From the current point of view, they should not be able to organize a large-scale attack in a short period of time. After receiving your message from the Commander-in-Chief, I will not dare to send troops rashly. I will wait for you.
Here we are, making plans."
Li Xun nodded and said, "Is there any news from Wuzhou?"
