Chapter 216: Picking up a Cangwu City for nothing

Even if Zhu Fu's 10,000 remnants of the army were able to escape back to Cangwu City, they would also be discouraged, and once Liu Zheng's army arrived, they would definitely not have much courage to deal with it.

Liu Zheng gathered two scattered forces on his side, adding up to nearly 20,000 people, and it was easy to enter Cangwu City and break through the gates of Cangwu City.

As long as Cangwu City can be captured, it can quickly spread the war to the entire Cangwu County, and then gradually move south to occupy the entire Jiaozhou.

After having the opinions of Liu Zheng and Huang Zhong, everyone did not stay in Wuyangling for too long, and it only took an hour to lead the army to the foot of Cangwu City.

Sure enough, when Liu Zheng's army appeared under Cangwu City, Cangwu City was already under full martial law.

Not only were the gates closed, but even the towers were guarded by a large number of soldiers.

Although the number of soldiers on the city tower was not large, it was enough to see that these people had long known that Liu Zheng would come here.

Liu Zheng slowly walked out of his army.

"Listen to the soldiers on the group, now that Kaesong surrenders, I can spare you from dying! When I enter the city, all the soldiers will be killed!" ”

Liu Zheng was silent for a moment, and then shouted at the soldiers on the city tower.

Through the garrison of Cangwu City, Liu Zheng already knew that some of the soldiers who escaped from the battlefield of Wuyangling must have fled back to Cangwu City, otherwise Cangwu City would not be so vigilant.

Since the people in Cangwu City know how powerful Liu Zheng is, they must have a clear understanding of Liu Zheng's strength, as long as they are afraid, Liu Zheng may be able to surrender without a fight.

After some intimidation, if the soldiers in Cangwu City surrendered directly, Liu Zheng was naturally willing to take down Cangwu City without using swords.

After the soldiers on the city tower heard Liu Zheng's words, their faces were panicked one by one.

However, no one answered Liu Zheng's words.

Liu Zheng glanced left and right, but did not see the appearance of generals on the city tower.

And seeing that the number of soldiers on the tower of this city is not large, it is not like a big city with people commanding, and it seems that there is something wrong with this number.

After no one answered, Liu Zheng shouted at the city tower again.

"Who are you here in charge?"

The soldiers looked left and right, but none of them stood up to speak, and after a while, a civilian-looking person walked up to the city tower, and then responded to Liu Zheng outside the city.

"The generals outside the city, our officials here have all run away, and there is no one in charge anymore."

That person's words made Liu Zheng stunned after listening to it.

He also thought that Zhu Fu and the others, after escaping from Wuyangling, would definitely go straight to Cangwu City, but he didn't expect this person to say that the officials in Cangwu City had run away.

This time Liu Zheng did not slow down.

At that moment, he continued to ask.

"What's your name and who are you?"

"I am the city gate warden of this Cangwu City, not long ago Zhu Fu fled back in the direction of Guangxin City with some people in embarrassment, and after coming back, he packed up his things and ran away from the other direction of the city gate."

"Not only that, but many officials in this city have run away with Zhu Fu's assassination, and even the people have left a lot, and now there are only some soldiers left in this city who have not escaped, and the people of a city."

When the man spoke, his tone was quite tactful, and even with a hint of worry, Liu Zheng looked at him, although the distance was far away, but from the voice he spoke, Liu Zheng guessed that the other party did not seem to be lying to him.

"It seems that this guy Zhu Fu is scared."

Liu Zheng turned his head and looked at the soldiers behind him, he didn't know what to say about this result for a while, but since Zhu Fu had already run away, there was naturally no need to fight in this Cangwu City.

"Since Zhu Fudu has already fled, why don't you run away?"

Liu Zheng turned his head and looked at the warden on the city tower.

"The general doesn't look like a bad guy, since it's a matter with Zhu Fu's assassination, I don't think he should be angry with us ordinary people, so we didn't run away and stayed."

"You are wise, go down to the city and open the door, open the city gates, let us enter the city, I promise you, there will be no danger to the people of the city."

Liu Zheng said again to the warden upstairs in the city, since Zhu Fu and the others had already fled, Liu Zheng's plan to attack Cangwu was much less, and Cangwu City without Zhu Fu and a group of officials would be given to him for nothing.

Relying on the remaining soldiers and horses, it is impossible to stop Liu Zheng at all, this point, these defenders on the city tower are also clear, the reason why they did not dare to open the door before was because Liu Zheng did not have a guarantee, and now they heard Liu Zheng's guarantee again.

Under the orders of the warden, they began to strengthen their courage and went down to the city to open the city gate for Liu Zheng.

The gates of the city slowly opened after the counselling of the men.

Liu Zheng did not lead the army directly in, but looked left and right, and gave an order to Gan Ning, who led a thousand soldiers and horses under his command to enter the city first.

After making sure that everything in the city was fine, Liu Zheng let the army gradually enter the city.

This way to ensure safety.

Gan Ning's men and horses entered the city and did not find anything abnormal, so they went out of the city and told Liu Zheng, who led the army and entered Cangwu City.

Although Cangwu City is not the state and county seat of Jiaozhou, it is the county seat of this Cangwu County.

Compared to ordinary cities, it is still larger.

After Liu Zheng took people and captured Cangwu City, he immediately let his people control all the defenses of Cangwu City, and at the same time, gathered all the soldiers in Cangwu City who did not escape.

Together with the captives who had been subdued by Huang Zhong and not killed before, they were also temporarily placed together.

There were five or six thousand of them.

It is also a large combat force, anyway, they are all soldiers and horses recruited by Zhu Fu from other states and counties, and they are not Zhu Fu's cronies, Liu Zheng can re-subdue them and become his own people.

Anyway, after talking about the battle of Wuyangling, Huang Zhong's command lost a lot of men and horses.

Although it will not be supplemented among these people for the time being, these people, after all, are also warriors, and they can allow Liu Zheng to re-establish a team of soldiers.

Let him rule the entire Jiaozhou, and have enough soldiers and horses.

He looked at the centaurs, and then at Gan Ning beside him.

immediately said to Gan Ning.

"Xingba, do you remember the bet we made in Guangxin City before?"

"Remember, my lord, I lost, it seems that the position of the commander of the third battalion has nothing to do with me."

Gan Ning looked depressed.
