Chapter 114: 300,000 troops, one city

***

On the night of capturing Yuanzhou City, Qin Mu and the others had almost no time to rest, Lu Daqi and Zhang Xianzhong both accelerated their march, and at the same time sent forwards to Yuanzhou first, preparing to fight for this right gateway of the river, leaving Qin Mu with little time.

Not only did he have to count the seizures overnight, but he also had to reorganize the prisoners, the city of Yuanzhou was brightly lit all night, the people were noisy, everyone was so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, and even Qin Mu had to personally participate in the work of counting the spoils of war and raising chariots and horses.

By the afternoon of the next day, all the seizures had finally been preliminarily counted, and they amounted to about 170,000 taels of gold and 2,100,000 taels of silver; A large number of various treasures, the value of which is difficult to estimate for a while, only has time to make a book.

In addition, nearly 170,000 stone grain, 486 war horses, and nearly 4,000 ploughing cattle and pack horses were also seized.

Qin Mu was not polite at all, as soon as the inventory was completed, he immediately loaded the property into the car, asked Cui Feng to take five hundred men and horses, and after reorganizing the five hundred prisoners who were "dead" during the siege war, he was responsible for escorting thousands of truckloads of materials back to Ganzhou, and the five thousand rebels who had just been captured from the city were used as coachmen.

Qin Mu stood on the tower of the south gate of Yuanzhou, watching the mighty convoy drive out of the city gate, the entire convoy stretched for ten miles, the front of the convoy was already invisible, and the middle section had just left the city.

Sima An wore a hat, like a fisherman by the stream, standing on the city gate tower and waved to Qin Mu and said, "My lord is precious, don't let me go away." ”

The convoy of supplies was very large, and Cui Feng was in charge of security, dealing with various local governments along the way, and other management matters of the convoy were handled by Premier Sima An.

Qin Mu returned the salute and said, "The matter of Ganzhou is hard for Mr. Sima." ”

"Adults believe in me, let me, humble and tremble, like walking on thin ice, three times a day to save my body. Live up to the trust of adults. At this time of parting, there is still a word in the humble to enter the adult, and there is a cloud in the book: there must be forbearance, and it is helpful. There is tolerance, and virtue is great. The rebels burned, killed and looted, and most of them were not unjustly killed, but killing too heavily was not a good thing for adults. In the future, I hope that adults can endure one or two, do more eclectic actions, and do more virtuous things, so that they can make everyone look forward to it in the future; I hope that the adults can give a little consideration. ”

"Mr. Sima's golden and jade words, I have written them down." Qin Mu said again, now the stall is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more talents are needed, like after Sima An returned to Ganzhou. General Prime Minister Ganzhou's military and political affairs, for such a talent, Qin Mu knows that he must give enough courtesy in order to make people willing to serve you.

So now Qin Mu is paying more and more attention to etiquette. Sima An was very grateful when he received this courtesy, and hurriedly returned the salute, and said goodbye with a little reluctance.

The night of the day Sima An was sent off. Qin Mu followed up with the news of Wanzai, and Meng Ke lived up to his expectations and successfully won the county seat of Wanzai. In the case of Zhang Qi's nearly 20,000 troops, the 2,000 rebels of Wanzai must be in panic all day, and it is normal for Meng Ke to successfully win Wanzai, if he can't take it, it will be a strange thing.

Qin Mu didn't care much about this, and was busy appeasing the people of Yuanzhou.

He spent a lot of effort to appease the people and relieve the people in this bone joint, and the effect will be highlighted by the strong contrast between the front and back. Before he entered the city, Zhang Qi's rebels wantonly plundered and ravaged the people in the city.

And the upcoming Zuo Liangyu army is not a good bird, and it will never fall behind the rebels when it robs the people.

At that time, the people of Yuanzhou, who have experienced the two heavens of ice and fire, will have the most intuitive and profound experience: whether it is the official army or the rebels, they are not good birds. Only the well-disciplined "Qin Army" is their real reliance.

For this reason, Qin Mu not only strictly forbade the soldiers to loot, but also left a group of grain to help the people who suffered from the military disaster, and at the same time copied the "three disciplines and eight points of attention" of the People's Liberation Army and posted them everywhere.

As long as the "three major disciplines and eight points of attention" can really be implemented in the army and earnestly implemented well, in this troubled era, his "Qin army" will be fundamentally different from all the official and rebel armies.

Qin Mu believes that with this difference, even if he gives up Yuanzhou today, and wants to take it back in the future, he will definitely get the greatest support and support from the people of Yuanzhou.

He not only organized the "military police" to patrol the city and picket soldiers who violated the law, but he also often went to the streets to inspect the streets, punish soldiers who did not observe discipline on the spot, and give the people a clear and visible explanation.

At dusk the next day, there were horses galloping back from the east and west sides of Yuanzhou City, reporting to Qin Mu and the movements of the two armies of Lu Daqi and Zhang Xianzhong.

Lu Daqi's army of nearly 90,000 and Zhang Xianzhong's army of 200,000 were like two monstrous floods, surging towards Yuanzhou, and Yuanzhou City could be submerged at any time.

And Qin Mu only has 1,200 men and horses left in Yuanzhou City, compared to an ant to an elephant, whether it is Zhang Xianzhong or Lu Daqi, it seems that they can trample him into meat with one foot.

However, Qin Mu did not have the slightest consciousness as an ant, and he did not hear about Zhang Xianzhong and Lu Daqi's hundreds of thousands of troops. Although he didn't really raise a mad dog as Yun Qiao'er proposed and let it out every morning, when it came to running away, I'm afraid that no army could really outrun him.

In fact, it is shameful to run away, the Mongolian army often played the trick of escaping, and when they fled, they "fled" the enemy, and the "escape" was gone.

Although Qin Mu's men and horses are not like the Mongolian cavalry, they can play reverse shooting. But as the saying goes, life lies in sports, and running fast is equivalent to staying in the green hills, which is equivalent to cooking with firewood, which is equivalent to having enough to eat, and which is equivalent to having the strength to cut people.

In short, we are going to destroy all ghosts, snakes, and gods in the movement.

By noon on the third day, smoke and dust were billowing from the east of Yuanzhou, and Zuo Liangyu's 5,000-strong forward army had arrived.

Qin Mu took Liu Meng, Huo Sheng and others to the East Gate Tower, first saw two hundred cavalry rushing to the city, and when he saw that the city gate was closed, he immediately shouted arrogantly: "Open the door, open the door quickly!" Damn, if you don't open the city gate again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will behead you! ”

Su Jin's eyes lingered on the two hundred war horses, as if he didn't see the left army on the horse at all, he licked his lips and said, "My lord, look, two hundred good horses, why don't you let your subordinates go out of the city and bring them back." ”

Huo Sheng said with a smile: "Brother Su, if you ride out of the city alone, the adults will definitely have no opinion, maybe they will personally cheer you on the drums, how about it, do you want to try?" ”

"You two don't have a fucking toss." Qin Mu pressed the hilt of his sword, stood like a pine, and looked east from the battlements, "Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles, let's take a closer look at the military formation under Zuo Liangyu." ”

The two hundred cavalry under the city shouted for a while, and when they saw that no one in the city paid attention to them at all, they couldn't help but be angry, and while scolding, they took off their bows and arrows and shot at the city head, although they did not cause any casualties to Qin Mu, but they provoked Huo Sheng and others to be furious, and they asked Qin Mu for battle.

Qin Mu said indifferently: "Su Jin, you are good at archery, shoot down the feather on the helmet of the leading guy." ”

"Yes, sir." Su Jin immediately took the bow in his hand, and then said, "Bang! A bowstring sounded, and an arrow flew away like a meteor.

The leading officer in the left army under the city saw that there was a strong arrow flying towards him, and hurriedly tried to avoid it, but before he could react, the powerful arrow had already shot from his helmet, and the feather used to decorate the helmet was broken, which frightened him into a cold sweat

The left general didn't dare to think about it, he slapped his horse and fled into the distance, and the other left troops saw this scene and dropped a few cruel words, "You wait, I want you to look good when you turn back." They all slapped away one after another.

The Qin army at the head of the city suddenly let out a burst of laughter, and some even jumped on the battlements to pee on the city, Qin Mu didn't bother to care, he covered his forehead with his hand and looked east.

But seeing that six or seven miles to the east is full of smoke and dust, and then you can see the flag fluttering, Zuo Liangyu's 5,000 soldiers are noisy, and it is quite spectacular from a distance;

But when the army got closer, it was immediately found that it was not so "spectacular", and the five thousand men and horses were in disarray, like bandits who came down the mountain to rob;

Many of them were carrying large bags of things, some of which were stained with dark red blood, which were clearly snatched along the way.

From Jiujiang to Yuanzhou all the way, I don't know how many people were robbed and plundered by them, I don't know how many people were forced to flee their homes and starve to death on the roadside, no wonder a few days ago, Jiangxi governor Guo Duxian passed the message several times, ordering the left army to return to Jiujiang, but it was not adopted by Lu Daqi and angrily resigned from the office.

Judging from the blood-stained baggage on the small and small horses under the city, it seems that they are not here to fight, but clearly to rob.

I saw that the 5,000 men and horses pressed straight to the east gate half a mile, and then another general rushed to the east gate with hundreds of people and shouted: "Listen to the people in the city, no matter where you come from, open the city gate immediately, otherwise there will be no mercy!" ”

A dog and a cat? No mercy? Qin Mu asked Liu Meng next to him: "Liu Meng, what do you think about this?" ”
