Chapter 618: The City is Broken
What Sun Shaojian said about Ji Xuan's actions are all true. Because he told the time, the place, and the people involved in it in detail, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. It's hard to listen to it and not believe it.
Ji Xuan squinted, he wanted to kill Sun Shaojian very much, and if he wanted to kill Sun Shaojian, it was impossible to shoot him with arrows, unless he opened the city gate and sent troops to kill people. But if they fight head-on with the Northwest Army, they will definitely lose. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to open the city gates. Then the problem is opened, if you don't open the city gate to kill Sun Shaojian, you won't be able to stop Sun Shaojian's mouth.
Sun Shaojian first exposed all kinds of evil things that Ji Xuan had done, and then said what Yun Qing had done: "General Yun will confiscate the gold and silver of corrupt officials and use them to pay the military salaries of the Northwest Army and the pensions of those soldiers who died in Yucheng......"
At this time, a soldier standing in front of him holding a shield suddenly raised his voice and said: "Our general not only adopted the children of those soldiers who died in battle, so that their children had clothes and food, but also asked Mr. to teach them to read and write. "For these soldiers who pinned their lives to their belts, what they feared most was that they had an accident and left orphans and widows unable to live. Therefore, there are many soldiers who dare not marry wives and have children. And Yuxi's adoption of those children made them feel that they had no worries. As Mr. Song said, Yuxi's move was to buy people's hearts, and it was very successful.
Leng Bufeng said: "General, it's not good, if he continues to talk like this, he will definitely shake the morale of the army." "At this time, Leng Bufeng can't strangle this Sun Shaojian at this time.
Seeing that Ji Xuan was silent, Leng Bufeng made the people around him start to refute. It's a pity that this rebuttal is obviously pale and weak.
Sun Shaojian talked for a long time, and when he saw that it was almost over, he raised his voice and shouted: "Brothers, Ji Lao Dog eats our flesh and drinks our blood, poisons our parents and sisters, why do we still have to work for him? Brethren, if you still have a little blood, you should not help in the abuse. ”
Ji Xuan looked at Yunqing's direction and said, "It is said that Yunqing is a great hero who stands up to the sky, but I didn't expect that he would use such an unsightly trick." Yunqing, if you are a man, stand up and do it with me, don't shrink your head and be a turtle. ”
Yunqing is not stupid, how could he be fooled at this time. Yun Qing shouted to the people on the city wall, "If you don't help the abuse, I promise not to kill you." And if you want to go home, I won't stop you. ”
Some of these soldiers were captured by strong men, and they did not come to serve as soldiers willingly. Hearing Yunqing say that he would let them go home, some people were moved.
Ji Xuan was about to send a personal guard to tell him that if these people dared to commit treason, he saw Yunqing wave his hand and said, "Siege ......"
In this siege, Yun Qing did not stay in the rear to command, but personally went into battle to kill the enemy. Yuan Ying, Feng Dajun and other generals naturally all went into battle and killed them. And Sun Shaojian's words not only hit the morale of the soldiers defending the city, but also inspired the morale of the Northwest Army.
Ji Xuan saw that the soldiers defending the city did not have the courage just now, so he knew that something was wrong, and immediately ordered Leng Bufeng to lead the troops to resist the Northwest Army. Then he asked his cronies around him to supervise the battle, and those who dared to resist passively would be killed.
Sun Shaojian's words successfully ignited the anger in the hearts of many soldiers defending the city. Before, they resisted desperately because they thought that the Northwest Army had really killed, looted, and burned them all. Now that they know that it is a rumor, these people are naturally shaken. And when the Overseer came and killed more than a hundred people, the anger of these people was completely ignited.
When one of the soldiers saw that his good brother had been killed by the Warlords, he immediately screamed and said, "Kill these sons of bitch." "The knife that was originally aimed at the Northwest Army will be slashed towards the soldiers of the Overseer.
The anger is ignited, and it can't be extinguished even if you want to.
Bao Yong watched the cronies sent out to supervise the battle being killed by the soldiers defending the city, his face changed greatly, and he said, "My lord, let's get out of here quickly!" "If they don't leave, they won't have to wait for the city to break, they will be killed by these defective soldiers.
Ji Xuan is also a person who is afraid of death, seeing that the Northwest Army is fighting more and more fiercely, but the side defending the city is getting weaker and weaker. Gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go." ”
A quarter of an hour later, Leng Bufeng's henchman told him about the incident: "General, the governor has already led his troops out of Lanzhou City. General, let's go too! "The offensive of the Northwest Army is too fierce, and these soldiers below are not strong, and if they continue to fight, they will be dead. Yun Qing only said that he would not kill those soldiers, but he did not say that he would not kill them.
It's a pity to be cold and windy, otherwise he wouldn't have cowered in the rear in the battle that day. Now that he knows that Ji Xuan has run away, where is he still in the mood to kill the enemy. Immediately, he also took his cronies and began to run away.
The two were immediately discovered. Someone with a heart immediately shouted loudly: "The Governor ran away with General Leng Bufeng......
Ji Xuan ran with Leng Bufeng, where are the remaining more than 50,000 people still willing to fight with the Northwest Army. Yunqing also said that those who surrendered would not be killed, so the remaining soldiers all laid down their arms and surrendered.
Standing on the city wall, Feng Dajun looked at the squatting people below and said, "I didn't expect it to come up so easily." "Up to now, Feng Dajun is still in a trance. The victory came so quickly that it was a little unbelievable.
Yun Qing looked at the people squatting below, and said in a loud voice: "If you want to go home, you can go back tomorrow." Those who are willing to stay, I also welcome them. "They now have too few men, and with the previous captives, there are only more than 70,000 people, and they must expand the number of men.
As soon as these words fell, someone below raised their heads and shouted, "General, I am willing to stay." "There is a military salary, in case the children died in the war, there is still someone to raise, and there are still books, and what to do has to go home.
There is so much that needs to be done to conquer the city. Copying the homes of corrupt officials, wealthy businessmen and squires is already familiar to Yuan Ying, Guan Tai and others. The other is to collect grain, grass and medicinal herbs, as well as to settle these surrendered personnel. All of a sudden, all of a sudden, these capable officers below Yunqing were so busy that their heads didn't touch the ground.
It was dark before Cui Mo came back. Cui Mo brought back the cold head, and when he saw Yun Qing, he said with a lot of guilt: "General, let Ji Xuan's old dog run away." "Now, all the people below Yunqing call Ji Xuan an old dog.
Feng Dajun happened to be looking for Yunqing to discuss matters, and when he heard that Ji Xuan had run away, he immediately glared at Cui Mo and said, "How can you let Ji Xuan run away?" "This Ji Xuan ran away, it's definitely a big trouble.
Cui Mo said: "Ji Xuan let his henchmen pretend to be him, and he himself ran away. "It's a miscalculation this time. After he caught the impostor, it was already dark when he turned his head to look for Ji Xuan. Because Yunqing had an order that he must return to Lanzhou City before dark, Cui Mo did not send troops to chase after Ji Xuan.
Yunqing said: "I got the news in the afternoon, Chen Wei is on the way to Lanzhou, and according to the schedule, he should be there tomorrow." "For Yunqing, what we want now is to be safe. In case of unfamiliar and complex terrain and encountering Chen Wei again, even if the cavalry is strong in combat, it will also suffer heavy losses. These cavalrymen, whether they are men or horses, are a treasure bump to the Northwest Army, and they cannot be sacrificed in vain.
Cui Mo's eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands, and said, "I'm not afraid that he will come, I'm afraid that he won't come." "In this siege, the cavalry did not come in handy. Against Chen Wei, it will definitely come in handy.
Of the 50,000 horses left in the city of Lanzhou, 30,000 remained, and 20,000 wanted to go home. After Yun Qing knew this, he ordered to go down and give each of these soldiers who wanted to go home a tael of silver. At this time, inflation was so great that a tael of silver actually couldn't buy anything. But there is, it's better than nothing.
After occupying Lanzhou City, Yunqing did not rush to lead his troops to continue to capture the next territory, but let the army rest in Lanzhou City. The 30,000 people led by Du Zheng drove non-stop for half a month, and then fought for another day, and without resting, the iron man couldn't stand it.
Yunqing wants to rectify military affairs on the one hand, and on the other hand, he must handle the affairs in Lanzhou City well. It's good to say that he is used to military affairs, and he has his own set of ways to deal with it. But this local affairs are not easy to deal with, and the position of the political envoy is extremely important, and for a while, he really has no reassuring candidate.
Just when he was anxious, he heard Gao Song say that Tan Tuo Tan Governor's Mansion had arrived.
As soon as Tan Tuo saw Yun Qing, he didn't need Yun Qing to ask, he made it clear first: "It was Madame who wrote to me and asked me to come over." After speaking, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Yunqing with both hands.
The letter was written on December 15, three days after his departure. In the letter, Yuxi asked Tan Tuo to unload the lack of the prefect of Xinping City and go to Yunqing. As for what to do with Yunqing, Yuxi didn't say anything in the letter.
Yun Qing said with a smile: "It seems that Madame already knows that I can't handle the affairs in Lanzhou City." After speaking, he said to Tan Tuo: "It's just right, I have a bunch of things on hand, you can help me take care of it." ”
As the prefect, Tan Tuo manages things the size of a state. With Tan Tuo's assistance, Yunqing was much more relaxed.
On the third day, Yunqing asked Tan Tuo: "If you are asked to be the political envoy of Gansu Province, can you do it?" "The political envoy of Gansu is the highest chief executive of Gansu magistrates.
Tan Tuo's heart was very excited, but he had been very experienced in the city government over the years, and his face did not show any abnormality, and he said to Yunqing: "General, if you give me this opportunity, I will definitely govern Gansu well." "The prefect is the fourth grade, and the political envoy is from the second grade, jumping from the fourth grade to the second grade, which is not just a triple jump.
Yun Qing said: "Since Madame has this confidence in you, I will naturally give you this opportunity." It was also Tan Tuo who governed Xinping City very well, making Yunqing also believe in his ability. Otherwise, even with Yuxi's recommendation, he would not dare to hand over this burden to Tan Tuo.
Tan Tuo shook his hand and said, "I will definitely not live up to the love of the general and his wife." ”R1148
