Chapter 82: No mercy

In August of the first year of Qianyou, Dinghai (10th), after more than ten days of siege of Puzhou, the Han army pulled out the west village and attacked the city, and the Son of Heaven supervised the formation, and the two days were over.

Compared with Liu Chengyou's expectations, it is much easier and faster, and there are still four days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Of course, it is easy to say, think about it carefully, it is not too easy, tens of thousands of horse infantry troops out of Kaifeng, the emperor took the risk to leave Beijing to personally conscript, grain, grass and ordnance, labor requisition, none of them can be easily done.

This rebellion in the west was not a succession of three cowards, and Liu Chengyou and the imperial court had long been prepared, and from the early days, they suffered targeted blows, even if they were repeated, they failed to pry the overall situation after all. Therefore, in a very short period of time, the rebels in the river lost hope, and with the tactics and tactics of the officers and soldiers, the people's hearts dispersed faster. Coupled with Liu Chengyou's tactics of not giving a chance, and taking advantage of sharp weapons, it is inevitable to break the city.

After the city was broken, Yu Guanjun's side was more calm, entering the city, chasing and suppressing the stubborn, accepting prisoners, controlling the city, and fighting fires by the way. The fire at the head of the city eventually spread, causing damage to the houses behind the urn city.

Since the battle of the ancient city's attack and defense, when the city is broken, it is the most chaotic time, and it is also the time when problems are most likely to occur. Liu Chengyou was well aware of the truth, so after the city was broken, he strictly ordered all military generals and colonels to restrain the soldiers. He also asked Han Tong and Li Chongju to lead the army to temporarily take charge of the military discipline inspection, and used Bai Wenke to temporarily sign Puzhou to eliminate the rebels, and at the same time, they also strictly prevented local ruffians and hooligans from taking advantage of the chaos to do evil.

After the destruction of the southern city, the east also fell smoothly, and Yang Ye personally led the army into the city, and the rebels all surrendered. In fact, in this situation, most of the Pu army did not mean to live and die with Hedong City and their "King of Qin".

Most of the lieutenant colonels naturally followed their original ideas from the bottom of their hearts and surrendered decisively. Several of them were "seduced" by Feng Dao, and originally planned to wait a little longer and sell at a price, but they never thought that the Han army would attack so fiercely and attack so quickly.

Of course, it was too late for the city to surrender, but if it didn't surrender, it wouldn't even have a chance to live. The officers and soldiers who entered the city received orders to rebel in the city, but there was an abnormality, cut it first, so as not to cause chaos. Rebellion is always an unstable factor.

Even if the arrangement is in place again, when the city is broken, the soldiers are in chaos, although Hedong City is not too big, but when the order is stabilized, it also took more than two hours.

Liu Chengyou was not idle here, and took Yang Wei, Feng Dao and Fan Zhen to personally inspect outside the city, comfort the troops left outside the city, commend the meritorious soldiers, and visit the injured officers and soldiers. In short, in front of the army, he constantly shows his sense of existence.

On the occasion of the victory of the city, the effect is better than the ten or eight times of the usual show.

The south gate of Pucheng, the pro-army protects each other, Liu Chengyou holds his hands behind his back, looking at the smoky and burning south city, the tower has been completely burned down, the city wall full of "scars" is still standing firmly, the surroundings are gray and black, and the smoke that rises with the autumn wind can be vaguely seen, there is still heat, and the air is filled with the foul smell of grease burning......

"This Hedong City has been repaired by Li Shouzhen strong enough!" Looking at the outline of the city, Liu Chengyou sighed in a relaxed tone.

"No matter how strong it is, it is still a rebel city, how can it stop Your Majesty's heavenly might!" Feng Dao immediately raised his sleeves and said.

"Feng Qing's words are true, the majesty of my majesty, how can it be resisted by a mere rebellion!" Liu Chengyou's eyes flew down, his hand was raised, and he said loudly: "But the majesty of me also comes from these tens of thousands of loyal soldiers of the Han Forbidden Army!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Feng Dao looked impressed.

On the side, seeing this harmonious appearance of monarchs and ministers, Yang Wei became more and more like an outsider, and as far as he was concerned, he was no longer even interested in interjecting. His mind is also sober at this time, after this sweep away Li Shouzhen, this young son of heaven, the arrogance is only afraid that it will become more and more difficult to control, and an old minister like him may not be taken into account by him......

"Hedong." Liu Chengyou muttered, Xiao Zuo groaned, and said: "The name of this city should be changed!" ”

The ministers who were on the side were stunned, how could they mention this stubble, but Feng Dao immediately gave an explanation: "This city chokes the big river, communicates with Qin and Jin, and the times change, but it is difficult to be the name of Hedong." Your Majesty, please give me a name. ”

"I don't have a good name." Liu Chengyou waved his hand and looked at Feng Dao: "This kind of elegant thing has to bother Feng Qing." ”

Seeing this, a flattering smile appeared at the corner of Feng Dao's mouth, he thought about it, and waved his hand and said: "The mountains and rivers are wonderful, Yongji Han, in the name of Yongji, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"In the name of Yongji!" Liu Chengyou made a direct decision.

"Your Majesty, the city has been cleared." At this time, Han Tong led a team of people to ride out of the horse, dismounted from a distance, and respectfully bowed.

Liu Chengyou glanced at Han Tong, and his face was a little dirty. Han Tong was a little depressed, he led the 10th battalion of the Left Wing of the Protector to command the expedition, but there was no place for cavalry at all, and the traitors in the river were pacified.

"What about Bai Qing?" Liu Chengyou asked.

"The White Envoy is counting the treasury." Han Tong responded, explaining to him by the way: "That Li Shouzhen is very hateful, and he accumulates firewood and distributes it to the state government and the treasury in advance, and wants to burn it. In the treasury of Hezhong Mansion, there are still tens of thousands of stone rice grains, if it weren't for General Liu Ci leading people to extinguish them in time, they would really be burned by them......"

"It is not surprising that the person who will be destroyed has such a crazy act!" Liu Chengyou said lightly.

"What about Li Shouzhen's corpse?" Liu Chengyou asked.

It has been reported before, and after the city was broken, Li Shouzhen killed himself in the city.

"In the courtyard of the state government."

"Let's go into town!" Liu Chengyou nodded and commanded directly.

"Your Majesty, the southern city has been destroyed, the roads are dirty, and I am afraid that the Holy Sacrament will be defiled, please go through the east gate." Feng Dao suggested out loud.

"It's okay, the soldiers spend the city with this, why can't I get by!" Liu Chengyou said lightly. After saying that, he got on his horse and rode in.

In the state city, there was silence, the Pu army was moved outside the city to guard, the doors were closed everywhere, and the people were guarding their homes in panic.

Inside and outside the state government, including several streets and alleys around it, are under the control of more than 2,000 forbidden troops, and the people are quite mixed, including Longqi, Xiaodi, Wujie, and Xingjie.

Bai Wenke and Li Hongjian led a group of generals to greet them with joy.

"This state government is really magnificent." Dismounted, looked at the gate, and his eyes paused for a moment on the three big characters of "Qin Wangfu" on the plaque.

Noticing Liu Chengyou's eyes, Bai Wenke's face changed slightly, and his expression seemed to be a little remorseful, and he immediately beckoned the sergeant: "Don't take off the plaque made by this pseudo-king's rebellion, cut it and take it to firewood!" ”

After the plaque was disposed of, Liu Chengyou stepped into the middle.

In the courtyard, Liu Chengyou finally saw Li Shouzhen's corpse, and looked at the square face seriously, the scar on the neck was very deep, and the blood had dried up. When Li Shouzhen was in Tokyo to meet Liu Zhiyuan, Liu Chengyou only glanced at him when he staggered by, and from beginning to end, Li Shouzhen rebelled against him, and there was no face-to-face communication between the two.

"It's cheaper to die simply." Liu Chengyou said flatly.

"Your Majesty, the rebels who fled north have been destroyed by the Jianxiong Army, the king of Jiedu, and Zhao Hongyin, the commander of the east and west classes, and his family has been captured, and his son Li Chongxun was killed by Zhao Kuangyin, the son of Zhao Commander....."

"Zhao Kuangyin?" Liu Chengyou's eyebrows couldn't help but tremble when he heard the report, but he naturally regained his calm, his eyes rolled twice, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Your Majesty, Li Shouzhen's subordinates, there are still more than ten civil and military personnel, attached to the rebel thieves, plotting rebellion, and rebelling against the king, how to deal with it?" At this time, Bai Wenke approached and asked.

How to deal with it, the smile on the corner of Liu Chengyou's mouth became a little cold, moved the bones of his shoulder, and ordered: "Escort his generation and Li Shouzhen's family to the market, and behead all of them to warn the world!" ”

looked lazy, the words he said, and the orders he issued made the hearts of the generals present feel cold, especially Bai Wenke and Zhao Hui, who were shouldering the responsibility of moderation.

According to past examples, Li Shouzhen is dead, and even if he does not pardon his family and the rest of the party, he will not be so killed.

But the attitude of the Son of Heaven has to be vigilant and tremble......
