Chapter 224: Waiting
It was late at night and the wind was tight
The officers and soldiers retreated north, and the corpses were everywhere outside Jinyuan City, and the abandoned torches ignited the weeds, scorched the corpses, and exuded a strong disgusting smell.
A few miles to the south, a bright light rose, and a group of men and horses rushed quickly.
In a blink of an eye, after going around the battlefield, he entered the ruined city of Jinyuan, and then stood to look north, and then returned the same way.
In the north of Qingxu, in the reckless wilderness, the main force of the thief army camped here, the military tent stretched for several miles, almost without a edge, and the peripheral homeless people were coerced with amazing momentum.
In the middle of the night, the barracks were silent, but there were roars from time to time in the tent.
The sound of the tiger's roar was murderous: "If you don't kill the thief and the gelding, you will not be a man!" ”
Li Zicheng's eyes widened angrily, his face was angry, and his anger was abnormal!
When he crossed the city, when he saw the Jingguan left by Chang Yu, he was furious and ordered to kill many Ming army prisoners to vent his hatred.
At this time, more than 10,000 pioneers were unexpectedly served in a pot, the master was captured, and there were very few survivors!
How have you ever suffered such a loss since the Eastern Crusade! I've been hit like this!
It's too smooth, it's too smooth all the way, and when they are angry, Li Zicheng and others don't forget to self-examine why they were played by officers and soldiers three times and beaten this time.
"The herald ordered to set up camp, and there was no rest until Taiyuan!" Li Zicheng moved the real fire, and he had to rush overnight, and ordered his generals Ma Chongxi and Ren Jirong to lead 50,000 troops as the vanguard, march quickly, and rush to Taiyuan City at dawn!
"As expected, the thief should be completely enraged at this time" On the south gate of Taiyuan City, Zhou Yuji said with a relaxed face, and behind him stood more than ten generals in the army, as well as Wang Jimo, Cai Maode, and even Zhu Xianxuan, who was excited when he heard the sound.
Chang Yu in front of him pressed his hand on the cold wall battlement, looked at the city and sneered: "Don't provoke him, how can we take advantage of the loopholes!" ”
Everyone couldn't help but smile.
This battle is equivalent to the first battle to defend Taiyuan City, and the whole city from the princes to the Pingtou is all concerned here.
So when the officers and soldiers triumphed and announced the results, the whole city boiled!
"What to do with these captives?" Zhou Yuji took a step forward, looked at the city and said.
The moat under the city was crowded with people, these were the captives who had just been driven out, according to statistics, about 8,000 people, and at this time kneeling unarmed by the moat and being guarded by the heavily armed officers and soldiers around them.
Chang Yu fell into deep thought, with his temperament, he was naturally killed, but he couldn't kill 8,000 people at once, and if he really did it, he could predict what kind of dog he would be scolded by those people in the court.
He was afraid that he would crush himself to death by too many black cauldrons on his body, so he asked Zhou Yuji: "In your opinion, Mr. Zhou, how did you deal with it in the past?" ”
"Co-optation" Zhou Yuji said without thinking about it.
Chang Yu turned his head to look at Cai Maode and Wang Jimo again, and saw that the two also nodded lightly.
"At this extraordinary time, so many captives have been recruited, are you really not afraid of chaos?"
Everyone frowned and was silent, no one was willing to make a decision at this time, because no one could afford to shoulder the responsibility.
"It's easy to make a mess when you co-opt, in case these thieves should be in danger of Taiyuan inside, it's a waste of manpower to be imprisoned and guarded, and it is also a potential disaster to be placed in the city, so you can kill it!" Zhu Xianxuan muttered quietly behind him.
Taiyuan is his home, and no one is more concerned about the safety of Taiyuan City than him.
"Follow the order of the prince" Chang Yu suddenly shouted, hugged his fist at Zhu Xianxuan and saluted, and then turned his head and shouted towards the city: "By the order of the King of Jin, the captives will be slaughtered, do it!" ”
"Oh, don't don't, this king doesn't mean that, hurry, don't, this king just said ......" When Zhu Xianxuan heard Chang Yu's words, he obviously threw the black cauldron to him, and he was anxious, so he pushed aside Zhou Yuji and the others around him and squeezed in front of Chang Yu, waving his hands wildly: "Don't, don't, let them ...... quickly"
"The prince asked you to do it quickly, did you hear that!" Chang Yu yelled down again, and he was already crying and screaming to the sky, and hell on earth was so miserable!
"I, I, this king didn't mean that...... Oh, I'm x" Zhu Xianxuan held his head in his hands, watched the massacre under the city, closed his eyes, and shouted at Chang Yu: "You dead eunuch harms this king!" ”
"What are you talking about" Chang Yu patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Taiyuan is your home, we are all guarding the courtyard for the prince, these thieves came to fight the prince's idea, and it is only natural for the prince to kill them, it is not too reasonable to be reasonable!" Who dares to say four! ”
Hey, Zhu Xianxuan's eyes closed, what else can he say now, he will have to carry the black cauldron of the massacre in Taiyuan City for the rest of his life from now on!
No matter who scolds or scolds, he can only eat coptis dumbly.
The massacre under the city continued, everyone had different expressions, but they were all silent, Zhou Yuji, a battle-hardened veteran, looked at everything in front of him without changing his face, but his eyes peeked at Chang Yu from time to time, this young man had already had murderous intentions, but he didn't want to take the blame so he didn't make a decision to pick a big one from himself and others, and it just so happened that a simple teenager jumped up and delivered it to the door.
Wang Jimo and Cai Maode are civil officials, and their murderous intentions are not so strong, but literati are the most thieves, and their disdain is the strongest, although they feel cruel, they don't have much mercy.
"Niu Yong, Wang Yongkui guards the two gates of the East City, Yang Zhenwei, He Chengxin guards the two gates of the North City, and Zhu Kongxun guards the two gates of the West City, and will sit in the South City to wait for the thieves to come to the door!"
The screams under the city gradually subsided, and Zhou Yuji began to share the defense tasks.
"Our family is not good at defense, so let's wander around the city, but Mr. Zhou has to borrow some people from our family" Chang Yu smiled faintly.
The Taiyuan troops are at the disposal of the factory, Zhou Yuji now likes Chang Yu in his heart, nothing else, this person is belligerent, bold and strategic!
If he was allowed to stick to Taiyuan alone and face hundreds of thousands of thieves, to be honest, he had no bottom in his heart, but at this time, with Chang Yu on his side, it was like a tiger with wings, and it was more like a needle in the sea, although he also played drums, but there was no intention of panic.
This man is a good comrade-in-arms, because he never restrains himself, but often hits it off.
This man is also a good sword, because he is warlike, and he will take the lead in charging into battle at every turn, what a fierce general!
"Transfer Yang Zhenwei He Cheng to the new department, from the north gate to the city, from this moment on, the patrol under the city will be our family's responsibility!" Chang Yu turned his head and said.
He Chengxin and Yang Zhenwei, who were at the end of the "subordinate compliance orders", were suddenly overjoyed, knowing that Chang Yu was meant to carry out, they had just killed the vanguard of the thief army, and they had already taken the first credit, and now they were definitely good to follow Chang Yu while the iron was hot, especially Yang Zhenwei has been eyeing the position of the general army of Datong, and he wants to accumulate merit with this, but Zhou Yuji is always marginalizing him intentionally or unintentionally, seeing that the matter of making contributions is so far away from him, fortunately, Chang Yu always puts him on the belt of his trousers at a critical moment.
This is the grace of support, Yang He and the others are grateful to Chang Yu in their hearts, of course, they also know that it is easy to make merit with this master, but they have to resist the beating, because this eunuch leader is too belligerent, he will fight at every turn, and he needs to be hard to strike iron, if the mud can't support the wall, he will eventually be treated as an outcast, so the two secretly vowed in their hearts to find an opportunity to behave well.
Chang Yu does have the intention of promoting the two, but the most fundamental thing is that he wants to be powerful in the army, or Boone, to pave the way for the future, after all, in the troubled times, those who win the army, those who win the heart, and the world!
Of course, he also agreed with Zhou Yuji's practice of reusing the lineage, after all, the east gate of the south gate of Taiyuan is important, and it is also the first place to bear the brunt, and the guard must be his trusted lineage, so that the foreign monks were arranged by him to guard the north gate in the rear.
In the early morning, the lights were bright under the south gate of Taiyuan City, to be exact, the corpse was bright!
Eight thousand corpses were cremated, and the severed heads were transported to the south of the city and neatly stacked on the side of the official road to welcome the arrival of the thief army.
Yang Zhenwei and He Chengxin's men and horses began to accept the patrol outside the city with full authority, which means that there must be a regular 5,000 men and horses stationed under the city, responsible for the patrol and defense of Taiyuan City within four weeks.
"Sleep, get up early tomorrow and fight!" At the head of the city, Chang Yu yawned, turned around and walked into the city tower!
"Fight early tomorrow morning?" Chunxiang followed behind, his face heavy.
"If it's not bad, the blind Li won't let me sleep well" Chang Yu sighed and fell asleep!
