Chapter 256 Take Xiangyang
As night falls, the smell of blood in Xiangyang City gradually dissipates.
This war had a miraculous effect because of the defection of the Xiangyang people. Many Xiangyang men obediently laid down their weapons. In fact, not many died in the battle.
Preliminary statistics show that of the nearly 100,000 Xiangyang defenders, only more than 10,000 were killed in the battle, and more than 20,000 escaped from the east gate. The rest have all surrendered to the British King. By this time, the total strength of the British King's army had
There are nearly 150,000.
This force has been greatly supplemented, but how to gather the morale of the army must be used. Of course, Gui Yunzheng has been familiar with this trick before, and the generals under his command are also familiar with it. They always use both kindness and power.
, quickly calmed down the surrendering army.
Moreover, after the British army entered the city, they were strictly disciplined and did not interfere with the people. Most of them withdrew from the city and were stationed outside the city. This reduced the intrusion on the people. Occasionally, some unscrupulous soldiers were executed immediately after being caught.
, the people were very safe as a result.
Gui Yunzheng and the other three walked along the street, and gradually smelled a hint of smoke in the still-bright lights.
"Junior brother, what the people want is peace!"
Gui Yunzheng was touched and said softly.
"Exactly, senior brother, now that we have captured Xiangyang, what should we do next?"
Xu Lang's heart was still worried about the war.
"I have already made plans on this matter. The places where King Ping can go are no more than Jingzhou and Changsha County. Tomorrow, I will send someone to inform Ling Yue, the general of Ganzhou, and ask him to send troops out of Ganzhou to Changsha. I will send another general
, pass through Jingmen and arrive at Jingzhou, if they are attacked from both sides, they will definitely be defeated!"
Gui Yunzheng said this roughly, and Xu Lang suddenly felt relieved. It seemed that his senior brother had already made a plan.
"It's just that, senior brother, if Jingchu is defeated, how will we get along with Prince Fu?"
Xu Lang asked again.
Indeed, after the territory is won, it is necessary to consider whether the two sides will win or lose or divide the territory.
"It doesn't matter. I will write another letter and inform Uncle Fu Wang that if everything goes through, I will go back to Xiangyang."
Gui Yunzheng said, seemingly not taking this matter to heart.
"This, I'm afraid this is not good. If we give up the territory we have worked hard to gain to others, we are afraid that the soldiers will not accept it, right?"
Xu Lang was puzzled and asked in surprise.
"Junior brother, please look forward to everything. Uncle Fuwang and I have the same goal. We are both to eliminate evil and bring peace to the people, and to restore peace to the world!"
Gui Yunzheng said, patting Xu Lang's shoulder.
"It's just that, senior brother, even if you think so, the soldiers may not understand you. Moreover, can you guarantee that Prince Fu and his soldiers will believe you?"
Xu Lang was a little worried.
"Alas, please feel free to feel guilty!"
Gui Yunzheng sighed again.
"Senior brother, I just want to say one thing. If all the officers and soldiers follow you, I am afraid that many of them want to be ministers of the Dragon. If you are so generous, I am afraid it will be detrimental to the morale of the army!"
Xu Lang actually hit the point when he said this.
This is a fact that cannot be ignored. Many people definitely do their best to help Gui Yunzheng because they feel that Gui Yunzheng is the proud son of heaven and has the talents of a dragon and a phoenix. If Gui Yunzheng cannot let them get what they want, I am afraid that there will be
The day when the soldiers were separated from each other.
For example, people like Wang Liang and Du Cong, as well as a large number of low-level soldiers, their desire for fame is hard to satisfy!
"Well, junior brother is right. Let me think about this matter again!"
Gui Yunzheng could only nod and admit.
Taking Jingxiang together is only a part of it. If we take the world together, it will be difficult to distribute the results later. It cannot be done. The two uncles and nephews will start fighting again!
