Chapter 628: Raiding Like Fire
It was Tai Shici's decision to launch an attack after the third watch. If Lu Qian walked on the front foot and attacked on his own with the back foot, even if Lu Qian couldn't hear the sound here, he was afraid that someone in Fenggao City would go out of the city to find Lu Qian to come back for help. Therefore, it is necessary to wait until Lu Qian has gone far enough, and it is necessary to wait until the defenders in the city will gradually relax.
Tai Shi Ci's timing was very accurate. Under the leadership of Wei Yan, the Han army climbed the city one by one, cut down the unprepared defenders to the ground, and then killed the defenders at the city gate. After the city gate was opened, a large number of Han troops poured in like a tide.
Under the leadership of Wei Yan, the enemy troops who dared to block along the way were all wiped out. When he arrived at the official office in the city, the deputy general guarding the city got the news, dressed neatly, and hurriedly ran out with his sword. was out of the house, and met Wei Yanjun.
Under the light of the torch, Wei Yan saw the thief on the opposite side clearly, and when he saw him hanging out of the door, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "And capture him with me." As soon as the words fell, a group of people flashed left and right, holding the blade and screaming and rushing forward, before he got close, there was a sudden sound of breaking the air in the air, but it was the archers behind Wei Yan who made a move.
As soon as the deputy general went out, he encountered the enemy, and the sword and axe hand in front of him was like a wolf and a tiger, and there was a strange roar in the air. He only had time to scream before he was hit by the roaring rain of arrows, and he died no more.
A big battle broke out in the city, and the Han army came too fast, and it was too late for the deputy general to escape. The people were awakened from their deep sleep, listening to the sound of swords and screams coming from outside the house, but they just pressed the house against the table and chairs, and then hugged their wives and children, and waited for the dawn in panic. When the first rays of sunlight poured into the house through the gap, the bold people couldn't help but open the door and began to look outside the house.
At this time, Tai Shi Ci had already begun to order people to list and calm the people. lest the people in the city not know, they also let people beat the gong while walking through the streets and alleys and shouting: "The people in the city should not panic, the imperial army has entered the city." Remember to obey the law, and if anyone takes advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, he will be beheaded, and those who harbor the rebels will be ......."
Hearing that the army of the northern court had entered the city, the people's hearts were inexplicably relieved. The Han Dynasty ruled the world for 400 years. Although the majesty of the imperial court was severely weakened during this turbulent era, it even disappeared for a time. But when it came back strongly, the power that held people together was still surging to the point of shock.
Since it was Wang Shi who came, there was nothing to worry about. General Liu Bei, oh no, it should be called King Zhongshan now, the soldiers and horses under his command have always been strict in military discipline, and they have not committed any crimes against the people. The people of Yanzhou, which is on the edge of Qingzhou, all know it.
So the tension is gone, and everyone should do what to do. After a while, the shops continued to open their doors to do business, rice shops, cloth shops, and slaughter shops...... The market is gradually returning to its usual hustle and bustle.
What satisfies Tai Shici the most is not that Fenggao City was captured, but that Fenggao City was not destroyed. Looking at the grain and grass piled up in the house, Taishi Cile blossomed. Finally, there is a city that you don't have to post upside down.
To tell the truth, Chen Gong's scorched earth policy not only seriously delayed the speed of the Han army's southward movement, but also dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Han army. Although Liu Bei repeatedly emphasized military discipline, under high pressure, the generals also strictly restrained the soldiers. But the army is, after all, a unit of violence. Conquering one city after another, and those cities were set on fire by the enemy, nothing can be gained except for the military merits recorded in the merit book, and the resentment of the army is also quite large.
You must know that in the siege battle, even if you do not invade the people after entering the city, it is natural to plunder the property of the defeated army. Those officials and those gentry who did not like the eye were the targets of the Han army. But in the face of the burned city, not only did they get nothing, but they had to save their own rations to help the people who had lost their property. If it weren't for Liu Bei's supreme reputation in the army, I am afraid that the army would have made trouble long ago.
Now that Tai Shici has captured the intact Fenggao City, how can he not be overjoyed. He took out the money and silk in the treasury and gave it all to the soldiers who fought bloodily. And the gentry in the city who belonged to Cao Jun's family were also severely attacked by Tai Shici, and some were even uprooted. Their fields and other immovable properties were confiscated, and as for some floating wealth, they were naturally generously rewarded by Tai Shici. Tai Shici's move caused thunderous cheers from the three armies. Only Wei Yan had hidden worries in his heart.
After Tai Shi Ci rewarded the three armies, he came back to see Wei Yan who was following him a little sullen. couldn't help but wonder: "Why is Wen Chang unhappy? ”
Wei Yanxin said, why am I not happy general, don't you know? After thinking about it, Wei Yan decided to tell the truth: "General, is it appropriate to take money from the city and reward the three armies without the consent of the lord?" ”
When Tai Shi Ci heard this, he couldn't help but look up and laugh. He said to Wei Yan: "Wen Chang, please be relieved. If the lord has appointed me as a general, he will not doubt me. will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected. The rewards for military merit are all determined by me, and I can just play it. That's what the lord said to me. Bunga, do you understand? ”
Although Wei Yan voted for Liu Bei early, he began to work hard in the army as a junior colonel. He is accustomed to wars and chaos, and thinks that in this world, military power is the most important. He got along very well with Tai Shi Ci, and he was deeply afraid that Tai Shi Ci's inappropriate behavior would arouse the suspicion of the monarch and ministers. That will be a disaster. Since Tai Shici said so, he also put his mind at ease. In my heart, I admired the lord even more. In fact, Liu Bei didn't care about such a trivial matter at all. First, he has always used people without suspicion, and suspects do not use them. Not to mention that these people have proven themselves in history. The second is that he controls the money and food, and the soldiers have no money and no food, and they may not be able to beat the army in Liu Bei's hands, so who will follow the rebellion?
After beating Fenggao City, only one day of rest, Tai Shici only left a group of men and horses to defend the city, and then led the army to cross Wenshui and went straight to Bo County at the foot of Turtle Mountain. Turtle Mountain, the famous Turtle Mountain inkstone in later generations was produced here. However, at this time when paper had not really spread to the whole world, no one favored the strange-shaped stones at the foot of Turtle Mountain.
Fenggao is the county of Taishan, Fenggao has been attacked and defeated, and the defenders of Bo County have no will to fight. Before the siege of the city, Tai Shici wrote a letter and shot into the city, informing the guards and officials in the city, telling them to surrender quickly, not to escape the idea, he has already stationed an army in the upper reaches of Wenshui, and they have no way to escape. If he dares to burn down the city, he will retaliate militarily, and after capturing Cao Jun, he will not leave a single one, and kill all of them!
The murderous aura jumped on the paper, and after reading the county order of Boxian County, he couldn't help but weaken his legs, and said to the guard with a crying voice: "It's better to fall!" ”
