Chapter 421: Hedong dominates
"It seems that about five hundred meters, it should still be within the effective range...... Liu Tao withdrew his hand and looked at the fallen general on the city wall. learned from Zhang Ji beside him that it was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, so there was no need to stay.
Dong Zhuo's family, including his son-in-law, is not likely to be pardoned based on their behavior.
"............" Zhang Ji opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything, just now he didn't see anything, he saw Liu Tao raise his hand, and then after a while, Niu Fu on the city wall fell. It depends on the situation, and there is a high probability that he is dead.
"Captain Zhang......" Liu Tao looked at Zhang Ji, "Chengmen is open, you can lead the team in." ”
"Oh...... Here! Zhang Ji was a little stunned at first, but then reacted, hurriedly responded, took the five hundred remnants who had been captured before, and then gathered the five hundred remnants that had surrendered, and slaughtered into Anyi County.
The siege war has reached this point, in fact, there is no suspense. In the winter, they were cold, and the soldiers who defended the city were as cold. The combat effectiveness has decreased significantly, but it has also encountered this level of violent siege.
As a result of the unequal combat effectiveness, there is no room for resistance, and the city has fallen.
"General, the casualties have been counted." An hour later, Cao Cao finished sweeping the tail and stepped forward to report, "Thirty-three people were killed and more than 300 were wounded...... Most of them are Zhang Xiu and Jia Xubu. ”
In fact, you can be more confident and remove the 'most'. There will be soldiers who are broken through the armor and then injured a little, but they will not be fatal, so among more than 300 people, there will be twenty or thirty lightly injured soldiers, which is the reason why Cao Cao said so.
In other words, those who died in battle were all soldiers of Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu.
"It's also expected," Liu Tao nodded...... "The whole army will rest for a day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will continue to attack other county seats." But then, I won't be directly involved, right? Cao Taishou? ”
"Subordinates obey!" Cao Cao immediately replied that Anyi County had been laid, and he, the Taishou of Hedong, deserved his name.
"The defenders on this side, those who can be recruited are all under your command, and the baggage supplies on the side of Terminal City will also be transported later. You can do it in Hedong, but if you can't defeat it, you can retreat into Xihe or go to the party. Liu Tao reminded.
"The subordinates will inevitably make Hedong impregnable!" Cao Cao hurriedly promised.
"Don't put so much pressure on yourself, now Hedong County is in ruins, if you want to say that there may be a shortage of manpower and materials, if Dong Zhuo's main force goes north, if it can't be defeated, strategic retreat is also a means." Liu Tao shook his head, "Before leaving, I will send you a sentence: 'Save people and lost land, and people and land will survive.'" If you lose your land, you will lose your land'. ”
"Subordinates are taught!" Cao Cao had obviously heard the meaning of this sentence.
Seeing that the midwinter is getting closer and closer, the waves can't be too long, a month is the limit, and now depending on the situation, most of the month has almost reached the limit.
Liu Tao was not interested in challenging the limit, so he almost left. Give Cao Cao the territory, how to fight, how to appease, and how to govern, give him a headache. When he pacifies this place, he will take his set in Bingzhou and pick peaches.
"Wenhe, I didn't expect us to meet like this." As Cao Cao went down, Liu Tao turned his attention to Jia Xu, "You didn't respond to the letter I sent to Luoyang before, which makes me really uncomfortable." ”
Whether it is Li Ru or Jia Xu, he thinks that it is the most suitable to manage the existence of Jinyiwei. However, Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to keep him from his own position, so Jia Xu does not plan to give up.
"I didn't expect the general to be so concerned, this is Jia's fault." Jia Xu didn't defend himself, he just pleaded guilty. I'm afraid must be afraid, but he knows better that Liu Tao said that, which means that the other party still values him very much.
"I have established a pro-guard army called the Jinyi Guard. This guard is also responsible for supervising my officers, but unfortunately, I have no shortage of good generals, but I lack a subordinate who is proficient in intelligence processing and calculation, but does not form factions with others. Liu Tao looked at Jia Xu.
This work must be more than offensive...... Jia Xu wanted to complain, this kind of pit work, he was embarrassed to throw it to him, I didn't know that the last thing I wanted was to make enemies everywhere, and then make myself very dangerous?
He even felt that Liu Tao was intentional at all, just because he was so familiar with him.
"I plan to appoint Wen He as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, I wonder if Wen He can help me?" Liu Tao got up and asked.
"Willing to serve the general." Jia Xu felt that he had no choice, others were okay, Liu Tao was a disciple of the Immortal Family, especially when he had just staged a hand before, a distance of nearly 400 steps, and the means of shooting Niu Fu to death were really irresistible.
"Well, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji, you two will return to Bingzhou with me, and later, I will make other arrangements for you." Liu Tao saw that Jia Xu agreed, so he looked at Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's two uncles and nephews.
"Whoa!" The two responded, in fact, they were somewhat happy, and it was definitely better to go to Bingzhou than to stay in Hedong.
It's just that they don't know at all, Liu Tao didn't plan to keep them in Bingzhou, and it is estimated that he will send them to Liangzhou next year. Ma Teng is currently only occupying Jincheng County, barely being a separatist warlord.
It was a period of hard work, and at this time, their two uncles and nephews had to endure hardships for a few years.
However, if Liangzhou can be defeated, then its credit is obviously beyond doubt. At that time, no one can stop it, and the ascension of their two uncles and nephews can be said to have gains and losses.
Whether it's a dragon or a worm, you still have to behave well to know. Of course, Liu Tao didn't care too much about this, his initial idea was nothing more than to use the identity of his two uncles and nephews, Wuwei Zhang, to monitor and supervise Ma Teng, so as not to lose control.
On the third day, Cao Cao took his army and began to attack the city everywhere, perhaps because Anyi County was defeated, and the county orders were basically to go out of the city and surrender the soldiers to defeat the counties in Hedong without blood.
During this period, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came over and said that all the counties north of Fenshui had been subdued. After confirming this matter, Liu Tao did not stay for long, and did not wait for Cao Cao to come back, so he went north directly.
Before going north, he made a slight appointment and appointed Wei Zi as the commander of Hedong County. The latter also understood the significance of his appointment, and naturally accepted it gladly. And promised that he would 'assist' Cao Cao and govern Hedong County well.
As for the establishment of Pingyang County and the appointment of the Taishou, this will have to be planned after Liu Tao returns to the state. At present, it is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Hedong Taishou, even if this place was originally under the rule of Hedong County.
Maybe it's winter, or maybe it's because the supplies aren't enough, Dong Zhuo's main force didn't go north in the end. Whether Dong Zhuo threw things in Luoyang or not, Liu Tao didn't care, anyway, out of sight was clean.
With Hedong County, he will also have a base on the front line, and it will also become an important grain production area under his command. The next step is to take advantage of the opportunity to woo Dong, and when he comes back, he will knock down Hanoi County by the way, and it will be perfect.
"Lord, welcome back......" When he returned to Dao and Zhou, Xun Yu personally came out with officials to greet him.
"It's hard work here in Bingzhou...... Liu Tao snorted, he really didn't dare to look at Xun Yu squarely......
