Chapter Sixty-Seven: Loaded and Returned

After Chen Hongyi entered the city, he led his generals to bow down to Liu Jian, and at this time, the generals really respected Liu Jian and called him "Deputy Marshal of King Han". In the past, he was only regarded as a prince who came to mix qualifications and military exploits, but this time he took the lead in attacking the city with 3,000 men, which impressed the generals.

Chen Hongyi kowtowed to Old Master Lu as soon as he saw him, it turned out that Old Master Lu had also lectured to Chen Hongyi, and he was also one of Chen Hongyi's teachers. Old Master Lu didn't give Chen Hongyi a good face, and asked Chen Hongyi with a drooping face: "I said hussar general, now that you have military power in your hands, are we old bones also going to be used by you to kill the rich and help the poor to buy people's hearts?"

Chen Hongyi was stunned for a moment and then said: "Where is the teacher, the teacher is not only my Chen Hongyi's teacher, but also the teacher of many important ministers of the imperial court, how can students harm their teacher?" ”

Old Master Lu put on crutches: "There is a way that is better than the blue, Li Xiaofei, a good subordinate taught by General Chen, killed the rich and helped the poor, admired by everyone, his heroic deeds are now widely recited in the land of Yan Zhao, I think it will be immortal."

Chen Hongyi smiled: "What should I do, what does the teacher see what this is", Chen Hongyi took out the notice and the document written by Old Master Lu himself from his arms.

Old Master Lu was stunned for a moment and then asked, "What is this?" “

Chen Hongyi took the proclamation and the proclamation into his arms: "Someone pretended to be a teacher, and even wrote a proclamation for foreigners, and also provided food, grass and strong men to foreigners. I'm also thinking about the teacher's name, there is a way to starve to death, a small loss of festival is a big thing. The teacher taught us loyalty and filial piety from an early age, and we dare not forget the grand righteousness, always keep it in mind, and take loyalty, filial piety and righteousness as the first thing in life and work."

Old Master Lu nodded again and again: "That's nature, the loyalty, filial piety and righteousness handed down by the saint can't be broken, even so, the old man won't say much." This Xiangguo City is in ruins, and I ask General Chen not to kill innocents indiscriminately."

Chen Hongyi looked at Liu Jian: "The affairs of Xiangguo City are in charge of His Royal Highness King Han, do you have any objections?" “

The generals and the heads of the families knelt on the ground one after another: "Obey the orders of His Royal Highness King Han!" “

Liu Jian nodded and motioned for everyone to get up: "This king still has to rely on you in the future, without you charging into battle to raise food and grass, this king and General Chen will not be able to move an inch."

At this moment, the generals patted their chests and promised that they would definitely point where to fight, and the heads of the families had to say that they would do their best to raise food and grass for the army.

The matter of Xiangguo City is temporarily over, but Fanyang and the surrounding counties in the north are still in the hands of Pajaqili and Hu Zhun, and the Liang army is now frostbitten, and only more than 5,000 people can continue to fight on horseback. Liu Jian originally wanted to send someone to summon Li Xiaofei's headquarters to join forces in Xiangguo and then go north, but Chen Hongyi smiled: "Then Li Xiaofei must have a way to fight Fan Yang in front of us, let's fight Xiangguo, it's time to rest, three days later, send 3,000 men and horses to quietly march north to Dushikou to ambush it, I expect that even if this Pajaqili defeats Li Xiaofei, he will definitely return north." “

Li Xiaofei recruited 8,000 men and horses with Zhu Yaoshi in Fuyang, most of these people were lost Hu Jian's subordinates and some exiled untouchables, so far Li Xiaofei had more than 10,000 people, but the war horses were far from enough, and there were only 600 horses that could be used in total.

On the sixth day of the second month, Li Xiaofei convened everyone to discuss sending troops north. Xiang Xiaoyu reported the money and food to everyone, and the grain and grass could support two months, with a total of 12,000 soldiers and 600 war horses.

Vice General Zhao shook his head again and again: "I, Zhao Feijun, have been fighting for many years, and if I want to fight with the people of Mobei, I can't fight without more than 3,000 cavalry." Moreover, our cavalry is attached to various squads, and there is no combat power at all."

Li Xiaofei thought for a while: "Then wouldn't it be okay to combine these six hundred cavalry into one team?" “

Zhu Yaoshi immediately spoke: "The cavalry in Mobei all have big bows, and they shoot farther than us, our bows can't hit them, but they can shoot our infantry along the way." We have too few cavalry to get close to them."

Xiang Xiaoyu coughed: "There is a shield for the bow, and there is a chariot for the cavalry to rush, don't we still have a chariot and eighteen heavily armored cavalry?" “

Murong Ling looked at everyone: "It's nineteen, and me!" “

Hearing Li Xiaofei and them make a calculation, Pharmacist Zhu stomped his feet: "I'll also bet this time, General Murong and I will lead the cavalry to open the road in front, Master Li and the others will stabilize the chariot, let's just go slower."

Li Xiaofei patted his head: "Actually, we originally came to attract Fan Yang's enemy troops out of the city, if we are too strong and the enemy does not come out of the city, it will be difficult." I heard that Fanyang City is not afraid of flooding and fire, and the city wall is high and thick, so it is really difficult to attack the city."

Pharmacist Zhu laughed: "It turned out that we were asked to be bait, but we regarded ourselves as the main force, so let's go out and do it!" “

Li Xiaofei ordered 600 cavalry to allocate to Murong Ling and Zhu Yaoshi, and he took Vice General Zhao and 5,000 infantry to the north in fifty large war vehicles.

In Fanyang City, Hu Gaozheng gathered 20,000 Qin troops who had newly recruited and rebelled, and prepared to go to Xiangguo to join Pajaqili. Hu Gao almost fell off his horse, grabbed Pajaqili to ask what happened, and Pajaqili had to tell Hu Gao about the loss of Xiangguo City outside the city. Hu Gao got off the horse after hearing this, and his entourage hurriedly rescued him.

After Hu Gao woke up, he scolded Pajaqili and the generals for being stupid, and Pajaqili was also angry: "You old man relies on the old man and sells the old, and has repeatedly humiliated Ben Khan, and you can't defend this Xiangguo if you go!" ”

Hu Gao pointed at Pajaqili: "I can defend it for three months if I don't have to go, and you fled back without guarding, and the good situation was ruined by you!" ”

Pajaqili grabbed Hu Gao: "You old man, if what you say today is convincing to all of us, I will follow you, if you talk nonsense, I will kill you."

Hu Gao was not afraid, and took a mouthful of phlegm: "If the old man is in Xiangguo, the first thing he will do is to raid the homes of the rich families, kill them, and distribute some of their property and property to the untouchables, and then organize these thousands of untouchables into infantry to defend the city, and post notices to inform those scattered Qin soldiers and untouchables that as long as they follow us, they will have food, land, and houses, and we will be able to gather an army of millions within a few months." There are hundreds of thousands of remnants of soldiers and untouchables around this Xiangguo City, and hundreds of thousands of people have picked out 30,000 people to help you defend the city, but you can't hold it? As long as the rest of the people give them food and let them go to the camp to set fire to poison, they can always disturb the Liang army. You are so good that you have the few bones left over from the rich family, and you really think that you have arrived in the city."

Pajachili let go of his hand and was silent, and Zuo Du Wei Ugo Tuli spoke: "National teacher, what you said is not right, those big families have given us a lot of silk and gold and silver, how can it be bones?" ”

The generals also echoed: "Yes, those Central Plains people have given us a lot of things, and they are very good to us, and they set up wine banquets every day to entertain us, how can we kill them?" “

Hu Gao sneered: "It's hard for you robbers, you even launched a kind heart, a little gold, silver, wine and food bought you all, you are all stupid pigs, people give you nothing more than a drop in the bucket, and one of them has more taxes and products for a year than these residues sent to you!" It's really a lack of vertical and conspiracy! “

Everyone didn't speak, and Pajaqili punched the table: "Alas, I was deceived by these Central Plains people again, it's not a thing, it's worse than Chen Hongyi's old man!" This time, we must defend Fanyang City."

Hu Gao sneered again: "Xiangguo is lost, and he is still guarding Fanyang, is it waiting to be surrounded by people here?" “

Pajaqili sighed: "Alas, if you don't keep you, blame me, and keep you, you also blame me, what do you want me to do?" “

Hu Gao smiled: "The people of the Central Plains are indeed smarter than you, some say no, and when they don't, they say yes, we can only send all the population and property of Fan Yang back to the royal court first, and then go to unite with the Green Flag Khanate and wait and watch the battle situation in the Central Plains." But before withdrawing our troops, we still have to make the appearance of going south, and then attack a few counties and counties in the south, so that the Liang army will guard the front line of Fuyang in Xiangguo, and dare not chase us with all our strength."

Pajaqili shook his head: "It's still you Central Plains people who are bad, going around and around, what Ben Khan hates most in his life is you people who talk upside down and make false appearances." Since we are talking about retreating, then let's retreat, run a few hundred miles further south, and exhaust everyone! “

Hu Gao jumped up and stomped his feet: "If you don't listen to me, you will lose the battle!" Chen Hongyi: They're already on the way."

Pajaqili ignored it, but took the generals to Fanyang City to loot and plunder. Poor Fanyang City, men, women and children were all tied together with ropes by the soldiers of the Black Flag Khanate and driven out of the city, and even Hu Zhun's home was looted, Hu Zhun went home and prepared to move his wife and children's belongings to follow Pajaqili back to the royal court, but found that his family was all captured by the right captain Ju Wuzhi, Hu Zhun stepped forward to ask for it, and was cut down by Ju Wuzhi. It's a pity that this traitor who betrayed his master and killed his brother, in the end, was killed by someone on the side of the road like a dog, and no one even collected his body when he died.

Seeing that Pajaqili did not listen to his advice, Hu Gao himself took the 20,000 men he had recruited and rushed to the northeast. When Pajaqili learned that Hu Gao led his troops to the northeast first, he laughed: "This old man is so angry that he went to the northeast, and we have to go northwest to return to the royal court."

Zuo Duwei Wugo Tuli thought thoughtfully: "This old man shouldn't go to Liaodong to establish himself as king, right?" ”

Pajaqili shook his head: "This old man is very temperamental, such a person will not betray us easily, forget it, let him go"

Hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children in the city walked very slowly, and the soldiers of the Black Flag Khanate even removed the door panels and loaded them out of the carts, so that they did not transport the loaded goods for ten days. At this time, Murong Ling had already rushed to the outside of Fanyang City with six hundred cavalry, and the soldiers of the Black Flag Khanate saw the banners of the Liang army and ran north one after another, but they didn't care about the hundreds of carts of property left.
