It is both sad and ridiculous to say that in the day and night turmoil in Zhuozhou City, Dong Kuang, as the commander-in-chief of the ever-victorious army, became the person who had the least to do with it all. From the beginning, he was controlled by Yu Wanyao and other subordinates, and then he could only listen to the continuous killings outside. It was not until the Shandong Army defeated the Liao Army and took control of the overall situation that he left a place next to the garrison. He was brought out of the house.
But at this time, Zhuozhou was no longer under Dong Kuang's control. The soldiers and horses of his victorious army were desperately trying to escape and surrender, and even he himself was constantly being watched and guarded by the Song army. Fortunately, Sun Tu still retained a certain amount of affection for him and did not really kill him. This allowed him to live until now and came to him bitterly, wanting to ask for an explanation.
Seeing him being so wanton and rampant, all the soldiers were naturally very angry. Many soldiers around him showed their swords and guns and shouted loudly. It wasn't until Sun Tu appeared at the gate, waved his hand and said, "Let General Dong come in and talk." They retreated to the side angrily and allowed him to enter.
Dong Kuang's face was also full of anger. After entering the door, he stared at Sun Tu and sneered: "Sun Tu, General Sun, you are really good at calculating and using tricks. It's a waste of my trust in you. I didn't expect that you have always been They are all taking advantage of me to deceive me. Your elite men have actually been nearby for a long time, but they only watched from the sidelines. In the end, they took advantage of the chaos to seize Zhuozhou from me. You are really despicable!"
Faced with such accusations, Sun Tu seemed quite calm. He could not see any anger. He just looked at Dong Kuang with a smile: "General Dong, I think I am worthy of you. I dare to ask, when did I defend the city before? I didn't lead my brothers to rush to the front line. Which time did my brothers and I not fight bloody battles and suffer heavy casualties? Moreover, my troops entered the city to fight not your victorious army, but the Liao army. On the contrary, it was your subordinates The ever-victorious army first failed to abide by the agreement to open the city and surrender, so my troops had to attack Zhuozhou."
"You... you are simply confusing right and wrong! If your army could have intervened in this battle earlier, why would there be such a result! But I remember clearly that you promised before that reinforcements would arrive soon, but what happened... What is this if not treachery and betrayal?" Dong Kuang was really angry to the extreme, completely ignoring his current situation, and shouted loudly and repeatedly.
In response, Sun Tu sneered again: "General Dong, you said it lightly. But you only mentioned that my soldiers refused to fulfill the agreement, but you didn't mention whether you were also dishonest?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Why, do you still want to deceive me at this time? During these days, do you really think you can hide those secret conversations between you and your subordinates from me? You, the Changsheng Army, have never had the intention to fight to the death with the Liao Army. , I just want to be on both sides of the relationship between Song and Liao, and I even secretly sent people to meet with the Liao people. Is it really true that I don’t know about all these things?" Sun Tu stared at the other party's eyes and said something Hidden truth: "Also, why did you fall into the trap of Yu Wanyao and others, causing all three gates of the city to be lost in one night? Is it really possible for a few of them to do these things?"
After these words were asked, Dong Kuang's expression immediately changed, his eyes dropped, and he no longer dared to look at Sun Tu. When some things were not exposed, he could still pretend that nothing happened and blame others as a victim. But now, when Sun Tu exposed the truth of the matter in front of him, he could no longer force himself to calm down and opened his eyes to tell lies.
Too bad.
Sun Tu took another step closer, stared at him and said: "Actually, I also know the difficulties of your ever-victorious army. The troops are insufficient, the morale of the army is shaken, and the military rations are running out. All these factors force you to no longer persist. But even if you really If you want to give up guarding Zhuozhou City, you must at least let us know first, right? But what did you do before that?"
Dong Kuang's head dropped lower, but soon, he thought of something again, and suddenly raised his head again, looking at Sun Tu: "Even so, you are the one who takes advantage of my Ever Victorious Army first. If we If you can defend Zhuozhou, why would you choose to give up and surrender in this way?"
"Because I don't trust you! Your Ever Victorious Army has been wavering between Song and Liao for a long time, pursuing your own wishful thinking, so it's impossible for me to really let my troops take risks. What's more, I believe that with the strength of Zhuozhou City , as long as you defend it with all your heart, you will be able to defeat the Liao army, and by then my army will be able to defeat the enemy with one blow!"
"So in the final analysis, from beginning to end, you are still taking advantage of my ever-victorious army and my trust in you!" Dong Kuang said angrily.
The topic returned to its original position, but this time, Dong Kuang's momentum was not as fierce as before. After all, in a sense, his own actions were not so glorious.
But Sun Tu's next reaction surprised him again. He actually nodded his head abruptly: "Yes, I am just using you. After all, you are not my brother, and the victorious army is not my Song Dynasty." Army, if that's the case, why should I use the lives of my soldiers to fulfill you? Let you and the Liao army suffer a loss, and then I will lead the troops to clean up the mess. Isn't it the best outcome to capture Zhuozhou as easily as now? ?”
"You..." Sun Tu admitted this so frankly that Dong Kuang didn't know how to vent his anger. He could only stare at the other person bitterly: "Despicable!"
"Ci is not in charge of troops. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, I take the overall situation as the top priority. As for any fiduciary commitments, they are just small details. And I have given you the opportunity, but you have not grasped it yourself. How strange it is. who?"
Sun Tu paused for a moment, then looked at him and said: "One more thing, a man is not guilty of harboring a jade. This Zhuozhou is related to the outcome of our Song and Liao wars, and the ownership of Youzhou City. What virtue does your victorious army have?" How could you actually want to steal it for yourself? Since you have such ambitions but do not have the corresponding strength, you should bear the consequences. This is the case with Medicine Master Guo, and the same with you. But you are luckier than him, my grandson I can't cross the river and demolish the bridge and kill you on the way, so at least your safety is not a problem. As for the military power and the city here, it has nothing to do with you. "
They all say that you can be strong when you are righteous, but today Sun Tu told Dong Kuang that it turns out that sometimes you can be strong when you are not righteous. As long as you control the situation and have military power, you can suppress everything. As for his so-called incitement to investigate, it now seems that it is nothing more than a joke.
Of course, to be honest, Dong Kuang is also to blame. It was his own lack of persistence that caused the current results. If he had not chosen to retreat, and had not conspired with his men to cede Zhuozhou, perhaps as time went by, the Song army would really come out of the darkness and cooperate with them to defeat the Liao army.
It's a pity that all this has become a foregone conclusion, and there is no more what-ifs. If you ask him what he regrets at this time, Dong Kuang will definitely say that he should not have believed in Sun Tu. As early as more than half a month ago,
Before that, it was time to kill Sun Tu and others, and then surrender to the Liao army.
In the end, Sun Tu just waved at him and asked people to take Dong Kuang down and keep him under strict supervision, then turned and left. Although Dong Kuang's martial arts skills were still there, with the thousands of Shandong Army officers and soldiers around him and the care of countless bows and crossbows, he did not dare to act rashly, and in the end he had no choice but to accept such a result.
After all, it is better to die than to live. At least compared to Yu Wanyao and others, he managed to save his life. In this way, he has surpassed too many people.
After solving Dong Kuang's problem, Sun Tu found that the time had reached the fourth watch. Exhausted, he didn't pay attention to anything else, so he went back to his residence and had a good sleep. Since the chaos the night before, he fought many battles throughout the day and night and spent countless efforts. Finally, he took Zhuozhou in its entirety and completely routed tens of thousands of Liao troops. Although people are extremely tired, the results are quite fruitful. At least the final success is in front of them. It seems that as long as they reach out, they will be able to hit, just waiting for the final blow.
This time, he slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up, and he regained his strength and energy. At the same time, the surrounding soldiers were all ready, waiting for Sun Tu's order.
The situation was urgent and the war was raging. Sun Tu knew that he could not delay any longer, so he immediately selected 5,000 elites from the 100,000 troops, disguised himself as Liao soldiers and defeated the army, and headed straight to Youzhou as quickly as possible.
In order to win Youzhou in one battle, this time he not only brought along his strongest subordinates - Wu Song, Lu Da, Lin Chong, Yue Fei, Dong Ping... it can be said to be the most luxurious lineup in the Shandong Army - At the same time, all the horses were mobilized together so that the team could move faster and be able to ride two people, or even three people.
This was truly an unprecedented experience among the Great Song Army. You must know that the army of the Song Dynasty has always been seriously short of horses. Even for the Forbidden Army or the border army, often 100,000 people cannot make up 10,000 cavalry, and most of the cavalry are just single riders, which greatly limits the mobility of the army. sex.
But today, this 100,000-strong Shandong Army has done something that no Song army could do in the past. The reason is not that they prepared so many horses when they came from the south of the Yangtze River, but because of the large number of horses before them. Sheng allowed them to capture a large number of horses from the Liao army.
In the battle the night before, the Liao army almost gave up their horses and entered the city in order to capture Zhuozhou as soon as possible. After all, cavalry tactics were not available in street fighting. As a result, these horses were left outside the city. As a result, after the great defeat, these horses and their baggage and logistics all fell into the hands of the Shandong Army, giving Sun Tu an advantage in vain.
Coupled with the fact that the soldiers put on Liao armor and carried the Liao flag, at a glance, this cavalry team heading north quickly was really an out-and-out defeated Liao army.
In the early May, Zhuozhou underwent a major change. The Liao Army and the Ever Victorious Army that fought there were both defeated, and the general was captured. The Shandong Army suddenly emerged and completely captured this key city for the northward march, but they did not stop there. Stopping, what the soldiers pointed at next was the ultimate goal of the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty - Youzhou City!
