The west gate of Tongzhou City has been opened, outside the city gate, countless Northwest cavalry lined up and waited, Chu Huan did not give an order, the Northwest soldiers naturally did not dare to enter the city lightly, in fact, not only Chu Huan and these high-level people knew in their hearts that these ordinary Northwest soldiers also knew in their hearts that the Liangzhou reinforcements were defeated, and last night Qiao Mingtang's department was also defeated, and the two reinforcements that Tongzhou was looking forward to had already collapsed, and they had nothing to look forward to, with the current strength of Tongzhou City, they still had to insist on resisting, which was undoubtedly a mantis arm blocking the car.

The heavy Tongzhou city gate has been completely open, in the city gate, sparsely stained with dozens of soldiers, still holding weapons in their hands, seeing the black pressure cavalry outside the city, all the soldiers looked at each other, some people have shown timidity, but in the middle stood a tall man, thick as a needle, holding a knife, standing in the forefront, horizontal in the middle of the gate, although facing the northwest iron cavalry like a wolf and a tiger, but there is no panic of most of the companions.

Chu Huan rode over slowly-You-You-Xiao-Said-More-New-Most-Fast-WWW.UUXS.CC-, surrounded by a group of subordinates, the Northwest Cavalry dismounted one after another, separating a road, Chu Huan rode to the city gate, looked at the sparse dozens of soldiers under the city gate, and finally fixed his eyes on the tall man, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The tall man also looked at Chu Huan and asked, "You, are you the Governor of Chu Huan Chu?" ”

"It's Bento." Chu Huan asked, "Whose order did you take to open the city gate?" Where is Zhizhou Xu Qing? ”

The tall man showed annoyance, and said loudly: "Governor Chu, if you want to find Xu Qing, it will be too late, he and Hu Qianhu have already taken advantage of the chaos to escape from the east gate last night, and they don't even care about their own families. ”

"Oh?" Chu Huan was a little surprised, but even if Xu Qing and the others fled, Chu Huan wouldn't care too much and asked, "Then who is in charge of the city now?" ”

"There was chaos in the city." The tall man said: "Xu Qing and Hu Miao led the hundred and ten people to escape from the east gate, and several hundred households also fled out of the city with me, I am Yang Rusong, the military capital of Tongzhou, and the city gate was opened by my order." ”

"Oh?" Chu Huan took a closer look and said with a smile: "Yang Rusong, it's really like a strong pine, upright and unyielding, Yang Rusong, you tell the governor, why don't you stick to the city and open the door to surrender?" ”

Yang Rusong sneered: "Governor Chu wants us to resist? I really want to defend the city, but the officials have run away, many brothers know that they can't hold it, so they take off their military uniforms, and hundreds of people hide in the city, and now they can't find anyone, and I only have these people left under my command, and if I continue to fight, it's not interesting But you want to enter the city, I have the conditions. ”

On the side, Gu Liangchen laughed and said, "Conditions? He raised his hand and pointed at dozens of people, and said with a smile: "With your little manpower, are you still qualified to negotiate terms with us?" ”

Yang Rusong suddenly turned the knife horizontally, his eyes showed a cold light, and he heard the sound of knives and guns, and the spears and broadswords of the northwest soldiers outside the city gate pointed forward one after another.

"When we open the gates, we're ready to spill blood." Yang Rusong raised his head and sneered: "This knife has just seen blood, and I am not afraid of this last fight." ”

"Blood?" Chu Huan looked at Yang Rusong with interest: "We didn't fight, how did your knife see blood, and whose blood did you see?" ”

Yang Rusong said: "Xu Qing abandoned the city and fled, and before leaving, he sent more than a dozen people to the grain depot to burn the grain depot in the city!" ”

When Chu Huan and the others heard this, they all changed color slightly.

Chu Huan naturally knew that there must be a lot of grain and grass in Tongzhou City, and this batch of grain and grass was not unimportant to the current Northwest Army.

"And how is the granary now?" Xu Shao said urgently.

Yang Rusong said: "At present, there are many displaced people everywhere, how many people are starving to death because they can't eat food, we naturally can't let Xu Qing burn the granary, so stop them from burning grain!" Raising the big knife in his hand, "On this knife, it was the blood that was stained with the food that stopped them from burning food before!" ”

Chu Huan understood, Xu Qing sent someone to burn grain, Yang Rusong obviously knew the news, and brought a group of people to stop the burning of grain, and the two sides immediately fought, but at this time, he felt that this Yang Rusong was really pleasing to the eye, and said with a smile: "Yang Rusong, you take care of the overall situation and make a great contribution, this governor!" ”

"Wait!" Yang Rusong interrupted Chu Huan's voice and said: "Governor Chu, I know what you are thinking in your heart, you think that the granary has not been burned, and the grain in the granary will all belong to your Northwest Army, you are now in short supply, with these grains, you can solve the urgent need, yes or no?" ”

Chu Huan heard this person's blunt words and said with a smile: "Could it be that you have other ideas?" ”

"To tell you the truth, although the granary has not been burned, as long as there is an order, it can be burned clean at any time." Yang Rusong sneered: "Over there in the granary, I have arranged more than a dozen brothers, before guarding the door, we have also poured kerosene inside and outside the granary, and now they each have a torch in their hands, as long as there is a spark, the entire granary will be burned!" ”

"Bold!" Gu Liangchen shouted: "Yang Rusong, if you dare to burn grain, the whole family will be beheaded." ”

Yang Rusong laughed and said: "Lao Tzu dares to stand here, are you afraid that you will kill my whole family?" As I said just now, standing here, I don't want to live, Governor Chu, do you want to hear my conditions now? ”

Chu Huan smiled: "You say come and listen." ”

"Good!" Yang Rusong said: "After entering the city, your Northwest Army can't loot the people in the city, and you can't kill innocents indiscriminately!" Speaking of this, seeing that Chu Huan was still looking at him with a smile, he frowned and asked, "Can you agree?" ”

"No other conditions?" Chu Huan smiled: "In addition to these two, are there any other conditions?" ”

Yang Rusong thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "As long as you can ensure that your soldiers do not rob the people and kill innocents indiscriminately, the granary and granary can be handed over to you for disposal." Although my status is low, I have also heard of the reputation of your Governor Chu, your Governor Chu is also from our Xishan, the predecessor of Zhao Guangqing of Zhizhou intended to rebel, and everyone said that you got rid of that dog official! Speaking of this, he seemed to feel that his words were a little messy, and simply said: "You are now a big official, you can't talk without words, and if you agree, you can't go back." ”

Chu Huan laughed, and then his expression immediately fell, and he said loudly: "Pass the order, the whole army in the northwest, no one is allowed to enter the city without the order of this governor, even if after mobilizing people and horses into the city, it is strictly forbidden to loot the people's property, let alone hurt a single person!" His eyes became cold: "Raiders who enter the city, kill!" ”

"Kill those who hurt people's lives!"

"Thief, kill!"

Three sentences of killing, loud and loud, all the soldiers behind him said in unison: "Get the order!" ”

Yang Rusong saw that Chu Huan had issued a military order in front of the soldiers of the whole army, the expression on his face was relaxed, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you Governor Chu, you naturally speak well." ”

Chu Huan laughed and said: "Yang Rusong, you can say to the people in the city that the Northwest Army will not enter the city in a big way, but the governor will send a small number of soldiers and horses into the city to maintain law and order in the city. ”

Yang Rusong was a little stunned, the cold look on his face had disappeared, and he was a little embarrassed.

Xu Shao and Gu Liangchen looked at each other, and smiled secretly in their hearts, the military regulations set by Chu Huan today have the style of Liu Bang's entry into the three chapters of the Xianyang Covenant, but they also know that since Tongzhou has been taken, it will become an important stronghold of the Northwest Army in the future, the people's hearts must not be disturbed, the city is occupied by the Northwest Army, for the soldiers and civilians in the city, what they are most worried about is the scourge of the Northwest Army entering the city, and the people are panicked and frightened.

"Xu Shao, you mobilize a thousand soldiers and horses into the city, and you will personally command it, remember the military rules set by this governor, once you disobey, no matter who it is, you will be treated equally!"

Xu Shao arched his hand and said: "The last general understands!" ”

Chu Huan looked at Yang Rusong and said with a smile: "Yang Rusong, are you a capital?" ”

Yang Rusong nodded, the local state army has a thousand households, and below it is a hundred households, and under a hundred households is the capital, and the status is not high.

"Okay, from now on, you are a hundred households!" Chu Huan said: "But to do this hundred households, you need to help the governor do one thing, if you can do it, not only will you be promoted to a hundred households, but the governor will also have a heavy reward." ”

Yang Rusong was puzzled: "What does Governor Chu want me to do?" ”

"How many defenders are left in the city now?"

Yang Rusong said: "There were originally only more than 1,000 defenders in the city, but later because there were too few troops, when you came, the strong men in the city were recruited, and Xu Qing promised a heavy reward, saying that as long as you were repelled, there would be a rich reward." Sneered: "However, Xu Qing saw that the reinforcements were defeated, and led a group of people to flee in a hurry, and those strong men had already dispersed in a hurry, that is, the officers and soldiers who were originally defending the city, some escaped from the city, and a large group took off their clothes and hid in the city. ”

Chu Huan bowed slightly, and said, "The stragglers in the city, do you have a way to gather them?" ”

Yang Rusong immediately alerted: "What does Governor Chu want to do?" ”

"Don't worry, the Governor won't settle accounts after the fall." Chu Huan laughed and said, "Do you think that Bendu is asking you to gather them together and then punish them?" ”

Yang Rusong was suddenly relieved by Chu Huan's doubts, a little embarrassed, Chu Huan had already said: "Since they are officers and soldiers, they can't cut off their future, you can let them go out, let them gather, and still guard Tongzhou City, you tell those soldiers who are hiding, they stick to the city, they are all heroes, not only will the governor not cure their crimes, but also reward them, as long as they come out, the governor will reward each of them with ten catties of food!" ”

Yang Rusong was stunned, and Xu Shao and Gu Liangchen also frowned.

"That's it, I'll give it a try." Yang Rusong hesitated for a moment before saying, "But I can't guarantee that they will all come forward, and they may not trust you." He put away his sword, turned around, and said, "Brothers, go to them separately and let them come back." ”

Xu Shao approached Chu Huan's side and said in a low voice: "Chu Du, reconvene those soldiers and braves, and give them food, this!" ”

Chu Huan chuckled and said: "The soldiers hiding in the city, to say the least, there are five or six hundred people, although these people have taken off their clothes, but the weapons in their hands have not been put down, if they can't be properly disposed of, these hundreds of people are just powder kegs hidden in the city!" ”

"Powder keg?"

Chu Huan said: "What this governor means is that these people are regular officers and soldiers, with weapons in their hands, if they don't deal with it well, they will become murderers in the city, and dangers are lurking, gather them together, and continue to let them guard in the city, not only can eliminate these crises, but also increase the number of soldiers and horses defending the city!" ”

"But they were all Qiao Mingtang's subordinates before!" Xu Shao said worriedly.

Chu Huan shook his head and said with a smile: "When soldiers eat food, they don't care about what clouds and rain fall on their heads, they will only care about whether they can eat and dress warmly, and you are responsible for the defense of Tongzhou City for the time being, whether these people are in their hearts depends on what you do." Leaned closer and said in a low voice: "This Yang Rusong seems to have some influence among the soldiers, if you want to recover the other soldiers, you can subdue his heart first, and you will get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Xu Shao is a smart person, as soon as Chu Huan said this, he immediately understood, and said with a smile: "The last general understands!" ”R1058
