Chapter 30 (2/2)
As a result, someone soon reported: ”commander in chief, the imperial army sent envoys to come to see him, saying that he wanted to surrender.”
Zhao Yuanjin was a bit surprised, but agreed to be summoned.
”We are willing to surrender. We also hope that the governor will forget the past and accept us.”
The emissary was a young general. After meeting and saluting, he did not talk nonsense. He opened the door and explained his intention.
Zhao Yuanjin said strangely, ”the gap between our two forces is not big. Why don't you take a knife and a gun and be willing to lower it?”
”Our general is not the lineage of the assistant old thief, and he doesn't want to ingratiate himself with the incompetent Feng Qingyun, so that bastard is always making trouble for us. This time, we ordered us to leave no food or fodder after the end of the war. It was stated that we wanted the brothers to die! Who is willing to work for him? ” The bloody general said indignantly.
Zhao Yuanjin nodded slightly: ”in this case, well, I accept your vote.”
Therefore, the flag of the military reform of the five thousand Imperial Court changed its flag and joined Zhao Yuanjin's team. After being broken up, they were mixed into various battalions, and the officers above the guard general were temporarily isolated and managed.
This is a necessary preventive measure. Although Zhao Yuanjin believes that they surrender sincerely, what should be done can not be omitted. Only after a period of time has passed and it is confirmed that there is no problem, it will be truly trusted and reused.
”My Lord, there are more than 20000 people under Feng Qingyun's command. Should we continue to pursue them?” Song Wu asked.
Zhao Yuanjin pondered and did not speak. Sun Xiangqing, who was next to him, said with a smile: ”it was necessary to pursue him, but now it seems that it is better to leave a way for him.”
Su Mu echoed: ”yes, Wu zhence is becoming more and more powerful. If these 20000 Jingying elite go there, how can they create more trouble for him. It's better for him to fight with the Imperial Army and lose both sides. It is the most secure and beneficial way for us to take advantage of the opportunity to develop in Jingzhou. ”According to the inquiry of the generals, the latest intention of the Imperial Cabinet is no longer a secret. All the southern armies gathered in Huaiyang area one after another, preparing to join forces to encircle and suppress Wu zhence. Now the troops in the states are expected to have been ordered to set off.
This analysis is reasonable and reasonable, and the generals have no objection. Zhao Yuanjin laughs and decides: ”OK, let the whole army rest for ten days, and then go to Shangyang county.”
”With the foreign invasion gone, my Lord's great cause can be expected.” Sun Xiangqing sighed.
Now Zhao Yuanjin is far more powerful than before, and without the attention of the Imperial Army, there is no strong enemy in Jingzhou, so he can expand freely.
Although the imperial court is declining, there are still more than 100000 troops in the south. As long as the troops are united, we can imagine the pressure on Wu zhence. Even if this guy really has the appearance of a hidden dragon, it's not generally difficult to crack this dead end.
Therefore, in the next six months to a year, it is a rare ”strategic opportunity period” for Zhao Yuanjin. As long as we make good use of this time gap to develop and expand and seize as many sites as possible, we will have the capital to compete in the world.
Of course, if the development is not satisfactory, when Wu zhence is destroyed in the future, the next target of the imperial court's encirclement and suppression is undoubtedly Zhao Yuanjin. Or if the imperial army is defeated and Wu zhence becomes king, Zhao Yuanjin's fate will not change.
