Chapter 1141: Lifting the City and Surrendering
Whether it is the Xianbei people or the Wuhuan people, they all have obvious Hu characteristics, but these people in front of them are clearly Han people who are exactly the same as them, Chen Ji was a little confused, didn't he say that the Hu people entered the city, what happened?
After Guo Meng entered the city, he led the front army to the official office, captured the thief and captured the king first, as long as he won Chen Ji, he could easily solve the battle.
The information mastered by the scouts of the Bingzhou army is very detailed, not only did they conduct a thorough reconnaissance of Linyu Pass, but even the deployment of the Youzhou army in the area of Liucheng was clearly reconnoitred, and Chen Ji moved the Changli Taishou Mansion to Liucheng, which was also known by the Bingzhou army, so after Guo Meng entered the city, the first target to capture was Changli Taishou Chen Ji.
Guo Meng moved so quickly that before Chen Ji could get up, he was directly blocked in the house and became a prisoner. Looking at Chen Ji's frightened appearance, Guo Meng sneered and said, "Guo Meng, the former military captain of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion of the Bingzhou Army, Chen Taishou, fortunately!" ”
Hearing Guo Meng's self-report, Chen Ji suddenly realized that it was not the Hu people who entered the city, but the Bingzhou army! However, the west of Liucheng can be all the territory of the Xianbei people, especially the area of the Daling River, which is the old nest of Yuwen Xianbei, and how did the state army pass through the Daling River? Could it be that he has reached some kind of tacit understanding with the Xianbei people? But are Xianbei people so easy to deal with, passing through the Daling River is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, and it is impossible to achieve it.
Chen Jizhi's side of the news is blocked, he doesn't know that the grassland has changed, and the state army does not need to seek skin with the tiger at all, but directly slaughters the tiger and picks up the skin. Seeing that Chen Ji was speechless, Guo Meng said in a deep voice: "Chen Taishou, recognize your situation, you are already a prisoner of a certain order, and I order you to order immediately, the defenders of Liucheng will stop resisting and surrender all, otherwise you will not blame a certain knife for being ruthless!" ”
Saying that, Guo Meng pulled out half of the saber, the cold light flashed, which made Chen Ji shocked, the current situation, of course, Chen Ji is also very clear, people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, if you don't obey your fate, it will naturally be a dead end.
Of course, Chen Ji was very sorry for his life, otherwise he would not have wanted to transfer back to the Central Plains wholeheartedly, precisely because he knew that Youzhou was a place of military disasters and was in danger, but after thousands of calculations, he didn't expect that the Bingzhou army would kill Liucheng so quickly, so the Linyu Pass defense line carefully arranged by Wei Qian and Wang Qi was not in vain?
At this time, Chen Ji didn't care about how the state army passed through the Daling River, and in the face of Guo Meng's threat, he quickly nodded and said: "No, I respectfully obey the order of Captain Guo, Vice General Liu, don't go down quickly to give the order, all the troops in the city will stop resisting and stand by." ”
Vice General Liu also hurriedly agreed, and under the escort of two cavalrymen, he went out to issue orders. Guo Meng said proudly: "Those who know the times are Junjie, Chen Taishou must also know the order of my Cao Dadu, those who surrender are not only exempt from death, but those who return to obedience can also be hired in their original positions, and those who resist stubbornly will be killed, what to do, Chen Taishou is a smart person, and he must know very well in his heart." ”
Chen Ji nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, what does Captain Guo command, the subordinate must obey the order." ”
Guo Meng laughed and said: "Chen Taishou is polite, he is just a lieutenant, if Chen Taishou is willing to return to the state sincerely, he will still not lose the position of two thousand stones, and his rank is far above a certain one." ”
Chen Ji originally had some regrets for losing Liucheng, but when he thought that his career would not be affected much, if he really returned to the state and annexed to the state, at least his position could still be saved, and his net worth and life were even more worry-free, as for the errand for the Sima family or the Cao family, this is obviously not an important matter.
There is an order from the Taishou, the resistance in the city has not yet begun to end, in fact, many defenders, have found that the people who entered the city are not Hu people at all, the banner waving in the wind, a capital Cao character, has indicated the identity of the comer, they are the army of the state.
Everyone's face was full of question marks, no one knew where this Bingzhou cavalry came from, they were able to appear out of thin air from the territory of the Xianbei people, could it be that they really had to ride winged flying horses?
But look at their mounts, there is no difference between them and ordinary war horses, and obviously they have nothing to do with the legendary Pegasus.
The defenders of Liucheng can't figure out how they got to Liucheng, and they can't figure out how they got into Liucheng, you know, the gate of Liucheng is closed, and there are sentries patrolling the city, and it is almost impossible to enter the city quietly, However, the facts are in front of you, Liucheng is lost, no matter how the state army did it, this is the fact!
At this time, the sky was already bright, Wen Qin had already led the small cavalry battalion of men and horses into the city, in the process of entering the city, there were some sporadic battles, in front of the wolf-like cavalry, the resistance of the defenders of Liucheng was so pale and powerless, they could only retreat, relying on the streets and alleys to try to make the last stubborn resistance.
At this time, Vice General Liu brought Chen Ji's order, asking all the defenders to stop resisting, disarm and surrender, and the last bit of spirit of the Liucheng defenders also collapsed, and they threw away their weapons one after another and surrendered to the Bingzhou army.
The whole battle process was extremely short, and before the sun rose, the battle was over, and the state army took this fortress in the corridor of western Liaoning almost bloodlessly, and opened the way to eastern Liaodong.
In the following days, the Bingzhou army arrived in Liucheng under the leadership of Cao Liang, Cao Liang summoned Chen Ji, Chen Ji seemed a little scared, but he still knew everything about Cao Liang's problems.
What Cao Liang wants to know most is the situation in Liaodong, Chen Jigu told him that there are five counties in Liaodong, but in fact, there are not many defenders, and the main forces are all placed in Linyu Pass by Wei Qian and Wang Qi, even if it is Liucheng, there are only three or four thousand defenders, and this is almost all the strength of Changli County, and the other cities of Changli County are almost empty. The situation of the entire Liaodong is similar to that of Changli County, and the county soldiers of each county are more than two or three thousand, and the least is one or two thousand.
Cao Liang nodded, this is not much different from the situation he had before, Wei Qian and Wang Ji just bet the treasure on Linyu Pass, but they probably never dreamed that the result would be such a situation.
