Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

In the final analysis, Zhou Guanying was too confident and underestimated the enemy's strength and combat effectiveness.

According to the information of the imperial court, the total army strength of Yazhou is less than [-].There are few battles in Yazhou, and the soldiers lack combat effectiveness. He brought four times the strength of the Yazhou army. He himself has been suppressing various rebellions in Vietnam all the year round. He thinks that he has extremely rich combat experience, and it is no problem to win the small Yazhou city. Down.

Although more than half of the soldiers he brought were recruits with little actual combat experience, he didn't have any worries. After all, there was the Guangzhou Navy as support.

The reason why he attacked the city so rashly was that he was worried that the soldiers of Jiaozhou would be incited by King Liang's words and shake the morale of the army, and the second was that he wanted to take Yazhou City before the Guangzhou army arrived, so that he could claim credit from the court.

Although he suppressed rebellions in Jiaozhou all the year round, most of them were small troubles, and the commendation never came out of Jiaozhou.

As a native of Yongzhou, Zhou Guanying hadn't returned to his hometown for more than ten years, and he was about to die of old age. He was eager to show his merits to the court and strive to be transferred from Jiaozhou as soon as possible.And pacifying Yazhou is undoubtedly a godsend opportunity.

The arrow shot at Zhou Guanying's right chest, and the arrow passed through the gap between his ribs.Due to the lack of strength of the arrow, it did not pass through the chest, and the arrow got stuck in the right lung.This situation is the most dangerous, and it needs to be cut open with a knife to remove the arrow.

Zhou Guanying wanted to kill half of his life even if he didn't die, scaring all his subordinates to their wits.

In the early morning of the next day, the Jiaozhou Army counted the number of people. The number of dead last night exceeded 400, and the wounded doubled. More than [-] people were missing and their whereabouts were unknown.

The missing person was last night after Guan Shan, General Luo and Captain Liu led a sneak attack on the Jiaozhou barracks, some soldiers fled and were captured by the Yazhou army.

The Jiaozhou army lost nearly 2000 people at once, and the main general was still in danger, and the morale of the army was broken all at once.Although most of the troops were left, they lost the courage to fight again.

After dawn, the deputy general looked at Zhou Guanying, who was unconscious, and said anxiously, "Where are the scouts!"

"Here!" The scout hurried into the tent.

"Has it been found out how many Yazhou soldiers are still outside the city of Yazhou?"

"There is no exact data yet, and the initial estimate is 6000 people." The Scout reported.

The lieutenant general was walking back and forth in the same place, which has greatly exceeded the estimate. In addition to the strength of the guards in the city, the Yazhou Army has almost the same strength as its own.

To siege a city requires an absolute superiority in force, so how can we fight this battle?

The lieutenant general said: "Go to investigate again, how many are they, and where are they stationed?"

"Yes." The scout finished speaking and was about to go out.

"Slow down!" The lieutenant stopped him again, "Where has the Guangzhou Navy arrived?"

"Return to General, there was no trace of the Guangzhou Navy an hour ago."

"Hurry up and explore again!"

"Report!" Not long after, a scout rushed over.

"Say!"

"Many ships appeared on the sea, roughly estimated to be thirty or forty. It should be the arrival of reinforcements from the Guangzhou government."

"Great!" The lieutenant relaxed, as soon as the reinforcements from Guangzhou arrived, he would no longer be afraid of the Yazhou army.

When they join up with the Guangzhou army and leave some to pretend to attack the city, the brigade first goes to destroy the Yazhou army outside the city, and finally besieges Yazhou city, forcing them to surrender.

About half an hour later, the scouts rushed over again: "Report! General, our ship was attacked by the Guangzhou Navy!" The scouts were out of breath.

The lieutenant's head buzzed, he staggered, and almost fell: "What did you say?"

The scout stammered, "When the Guangzhou navy approached our ship, they fired arrows indiscriminately, catching our soldiers by surprise. More than half of the ships were taken away, and the rest also fled."

"How is it possible!" the lieutenant said in disbelief, "There are more than 3000 soldiers on board, and they can't resist the enemy's sneak attack at all?"

The scout knelt on the ground: "It's true, the opponent's number is far higher than ours, and they came prepared."

The lieutenant murmured, "Are you sure it's the Guangzhou Navy? Not a pirate?"

The scout said: "The flag of the Guangzhou Navy is on board. But if it is not the real Guangzhou Navy, I don't know. Could it be a pirate ship or a counterfeit Yazhou Navy?"

"Impossible, there is no water in Yazhou—" At this point, he was stunned again. It may not be impossible. The Yazhou Army, which originally had less than 6000 troops, now has [-] to [-] troops. It may not be possible to expand the navy. .

The deposed prince was relegated to Yazhou for only three or four years, and his military strength has expanded so far in such a short period of time, the court has not noticed it!There was a chill down his spine, looking at the unconscious Zhou Guanying, could it be that they are going to be ruined by this now?

A school lieutenant next to him said, "General, could it be that Guangzhou has already been occupied by them?"

The lieutenant said categorically: "Impossible! There is only so many troops in Yazhou, how could it be possible to occupy Guangzhou! I will write a letter immediately, and you try to contact the soldiers on the ship, and go to Xu Wen on the other side for help. If you can't find the ship, divide the troops A few times, ask the scouts to row a boat across the sea. Ask Xu Wen to send a boat to meet him, the more boats the better."

The captain asked, "Are we going to withdraw Xu Wen?"

The lieutenant general said: "General Zhou is already in a coma. The conditions here are too simple to delay any longer. Besides, without the big ship, we will not be able to supply food and grass."

The generals are no longer interested in fighting, let alone the soldiers below. They lost the first battle last night, which is quite a blow to morale.

The injury of the chief general was originally the top secret in the army, and the soldiers below should not know about it, because it would shake the morale of the army.But the news had already spread quietly like a plague in private, and people panicked for a while, and everyone became frightened from top to bottom

Although the gates of Yazhou City were closed, the news from outside did not spread in.

Sitting next to Xiao Yu, Pei Linzhi looked at the news from outside the city: "General Min is leading people to besiege the fleeing Jiaozhou ships. Guan Shan and Liu Xiaowei, General Luo, stood still and waited for the Guangzhou navy to land and attack the Jiaozhou army. Siege."

King Liang slapped the table excitedly: "If not one is left, they will all be caught! Brother Huang, when the time comes to encircle and suppress, you must let me fight!"

Xiao Yu didn't agree to him right away: "We'll see the situation at that time. What's going on with the Jiaozhou Army?"

Pei Linzhi said: "Zhou Guanying has been injured, and his life and death are uncertain. The morale of the army has begun to slacken, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

Xiao Yu said: "There is no way for them to retreat. The trapped beasts are still fighting. If we really want to win them all, there is still a fierce battle to be fought. So we must not take it lightly. We must exchange the lowest casualties for the greatest victory."

Xiao Yao, who was sitting in front of the table, leaned back and fell on the mat: "It's so lively outside, but I can only watch inside, I'm so bored."

Xiao Yu said: "Yesterday Linzhi said that you scolded you very happily, so why not go to fight again today. Wouldn't it be a great achievement if you could persuade those Jiaozhou troops to surrender their weapons?"

Pei Linzhi suppressed a smile: "I think this plan is feasible."

Xiao Yao sat up: "What do you think of me? Am I just a lip service?"

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Sun Tzu said: 'Victory in a hundred battles is not the best of the best; a soldier who subdues the enemy without fighting is the best of the best. Not the best strategy?"

"That's right. I'll go then, I'll be bored anyway." Xiao Yao got up, stretched his muscles, and prepared to go up to the city wall to call for battle.

Xiao Yu said: "Before you go, go to the warehouse to get some fat sea, prepare a teapot to make tea, don't shout out your throat."

Xiao Yao turned around and gave Xiao Yu a thumbs up: "Brother Huang is thoughtful." He said and left with his people.

Pei Linzhi looked at his back and said to Xiao Yu: "What do you think of King Liang?"

Xiao Yu asked back, "What does Rin think?"

Pei Linzhi said: "On the surface, he is careless and carefree. But his thoughts must be extremely careful."

Xiao Yu said: "What worries Rinzhi the most is that he uses me as a springboard and finally stabs me back."

Pei Linzhi looked at him seriously: "It's good for you to know. Even though he is his brother, there is still a bottom line. People's hearts are separated from each other, so we have to guard against it."

Xiao Yu asked: "So you don't plan to let him lead the army to fight?"

Pei Linzhi said: "We have no one to use now, and it is helpless to use his generals. He should forget it himself."

Xiao Yu said: "I think it's not necessary to be suspicious, but it's not necessary to be suspicious. You're too obvious, and he's easy to have a little girl."

"How does Mr. Lang know that he has no small plans?" Pei Linzhi asked.

Xiao Yu smiled: "It's normal to have small calculations. He escaped after a narrow escape, so he will inevitably feel defensive towards other people. We have to convince him that he doesn't need to worry about his safety when he follows us. If you have a different heart, you will see people's hearts over time, and the fear will gradually disappear."

Pei Linzhi said: "Mr. Lang always thinks people's hearts are so pure and kind."

Xiao Yu said: "My teacher told me since I was a child that you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others."

"What if what he needs is not just stability and wealth, but ninety-five honors?" Pei Linzhi said.

Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, "Actually, I've always been thinking, what if the person who sits in this position depends on ability instead of blood?"

"Similar to the ancient abdication system?"

Xiao Yu shook his head: "Similar to the electoral system in my era, those who are capable live."

Pei Linzhi said: "I'm afraid it will be extremely easy to cause chaos, and elections can also be manipulated."

Xiao Yu sighed: "You're right, let's take one step at a time."

Although the elected person in power will step down after a certain number of years, the level of medical care and average life expectancy in this era may not be able to guarantee that a middle-aged man in his 40s and [-]s will sit in that position for ten or eight years. There is bound to be confusion.

There is no system of political theory and no unified ideology. Talking about elections is really too idealistic.

But Confucius was able to create Confucianism, so why couldn't he create a new system of thought, take your time.

Xiao Yao went up to the tower, and began to spread news to the panic-stricken Jiaozhou army below, including Zhou Guanying's terminal illness, and all the Jiaozhou ships being confiscated by the Yazhou navy. Now the Jiaozhou army has become an isolated island, without food supplies, and no The reinforcements had no choice but to surrender.

Xiao Yao began to promote the benefits of joining the Yazhou Army again. He talked about the military service of the Yazhou Army, including two years of military service, voluntary military service, and arrangements for retiring from the army.

And also talked about the welfare of the people in Yazhou, including children can go to school for free, and they can also take the selection exam to become an official, etc.

The Jiaozhou army outside the city was extremely silent.Xiao Yao still felt that it was not enough, so he summed up these points and asked his subordinates to read them in turn.

Hearing this, all the Jiaozhou generals were so angry that they wanted to smash those people on the tower.
