Chapter 68: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
The main general Dou Yi was captured by Yang Yansi, and the city gate had been breached, and the morale of the defenders of Wuguan completely fell to the bottom, and they completely lost the will to resist.
Thousands of guards were able to flee, and the defense of the entire Wuguan had completely collapsed.
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Dou Hui, who had been captured by Yang Yansi, not far away, and couldn't help but scold viciously: "Stupid pig, a stupid stupid pig!" If you ruin Erlang's plan, it's cheaper to die a hundred times! Brothers, get out of here! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji is not the famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and the minister of Gu Ming, Yang Yanzhao naturally can't know him, plus the main general of Wuguan, Dou Yi, has been captured by Yang Yanhe, these defeated soldiers have not attracted Yang Yanzhao's attention too much, plus Wuguan is too important to Yang Gao, so Yang Yanzhao issued an order to ignore the defeated soldiers in Wuguan City and seize the north gate of Wuguan first.
And the eldest grandson Wuji also took the opportunity to escape from Wuguan City under the escort of several henchmen, and went to Guanzhong to find Li Shimin to report the bad news of the loss of Wuguan.
More than two hours later, the shouting and killing in Wuguan City gradually fell silent, and the north and south gates of Guancheng were already occupied by Yang Yanzhao. Of the 3,000 soldiers guarding the pass, a small number escaped from the city by taking advantage of the chaos, and most of them were surrounded and annihilated in Wuguan City.
"Sixth brother, this kid Dou Yi is too useless, he just took my trick and fainted, and he hasn't woken up yet!" Yang Yanzhao and several generals were inspecting the city defense of Wuguan, but they saw Yang Yansi walking over with the unconscious Dou Yi speechless, and casually threw him on the ground.
Yang Yanzhao glanced at Dou Yi disdainfully, and sneered, "Why did you bring such a waste here?" Drag it down and cut it down! ”
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" As soon as Yang Yanzhao's words fell, Dou Zhen, who was still with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, kowtowed to Yang Yanzhao and begged for mercy: "I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender!" Don't kill me, don't kill me! ”
"Damn, you were pretending to be dizzy just now!" Yang Yansi was suddenly furious, and kicked Dou Yan's buttocks.
Dou Yi was kicked hard by Yang Yansi, and a dissatisfied look suddenly appeared on his face, but he suddenly thought that he was already a prisoner at the moment, so he quickly changed his face, and said with a smile: "The general forgives the sin, the villain is also a helpless move, and I hope the general will spare the villain's life!" ”
Yang Yanzhao glanced at him coldly, and said disdainfully: "Originally, a waste like you would not have bothered to kill. But His Royal Highness King Zhao has an order to give your head to the Guanlong nobles a little color, so I have to send you on the road!"
Dou Gao was shocked when he heard this, and immediately scolded: "Yang Gao's child is so brutal, I, Dou Gao, am a famous son of the world, full of talent, isn't he Yang Gao afraid that the world will attack him?" ”
"A famous kid, full of talent?" Yang Yanzhao couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "I've seen shameless, I've never seen you so shameless!" I think you are such a waste of death, except for a few elders of your Dou family, even the Dugu family and the Hou Mo Chen family will not care. Where did you get the faith to return to the world's corporal race to attack it? Drag it down, slash! ”
"Yang Gao, Yang Yanzhao, I won't let you go!"
Dou Yi was dragged down by several Sui soldiers, constantly struggling along the way, and from time to time let out hoarse curses.
Yang Yanzhao looked at Dou Zhen, who was full of ugliness, and shook his head helplessly, "Famous disciple, that's it!" ”
。。。。。。。。。。
Yang Gao's good news was sent to Yang Gao together with Dou Hui's head, Yang Gao was overjoyed, and rewarded Yang Yanzhao and Yang Yansi's subordinate soldiers, and wrote a fold for Yang Yanzhao Yang Yansi to ask for merit, requesting that Yang Yanzhao be crowned as a hussar general, lead Tongguan marshal, and Yang Yansi as Zhenyuan general.
Since the tens of thousands of troops under the command of Yang Gao set out from Jiangling in October, they have been fighting for more than three months, fighting thousands of miles, and the soldiers are generally war-weary. And the weather is getting colder and colder, not only the heavy snow is blocking the road, but the severe cold also makes the soldiers' hands tremble, and even the weapons are a little unstable.
Yang Gao immediately waved his pen and ordered Xue Rengui, Yang Yanzhao, Nan Jiyun, Long Zhi, Hu Yanzhuo and others to lead their troops to camp in various counties in Nanyang and rest on the spot. Wait until after midwinter when the weather warms up before going to war.
And Yang Gao stayed in the city to deal with a series of government affairs in Nanyang County, Zhu Cang was brutal, the whole Nanyang County was harmed by him a lot, bandits were rampant, a large number of refugees had no fixed residence, either starved to death or froze to death, or they could only fall into the grass and live by robbing their homes.
Zhu Cang is ruthless and can ignore these tragic situations. But Yang Gao couldn't do it, whether it was for his future cause or out of his own heart, he couldn't watch these refugees end up in a tragic end, making Nanyang County a barren land.
At this time, Yang Gao's role as a later generation was also revealed, and he negotiated with Yu Yunwen for a long time and formulated five measures to rectify the current situation of Nanyang County:
First, a notice was posted to inform the people of Nanyang County that Zhu Cang had been extinguished, so as to calm the local people's hearts.
Second, immediately prepare grain from Xiangyang, Jiangling, Changsha and other places and quickly transport it to Nanyang.
Article 3: Adopt both soft and hard measures against the local bandit forces in Nanyang County, first send eloquent people to negotiate with the bandit forces, pardon them for the crime of rebellion, let them go down the mountain and return to good people, and promise not to settle accounts after the fall. If the force continued to occupy the mountain as the king and rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, it immediately sent the Sui army stationed there into the mountain to exterminate it.
Fourth, in the form of cash-for-work, young and strong people are recruited from among the refugees to build houses, county offices, and city walls in exchange for a day's rations.
Fifth, the people who migrated from Xiangyang, Jiangling and other places enriched the population of Nanyang, and promised that as soon as they migrated to Nanyang, they would immediately distribute 40 acres of fertile land to each family.
Under the hard work of Yang Gao and Yu Yunwen, Nanyang County, which was already dying, finally began to recover. Grain from Xiangyang, Jiangling, Changsha and other places is continuously transported into Nanyang, and most of the cottages in Nanyang County that were originally grass have also walked out of the deep forest and returned to their original counties and townships to return to good people, after all, most of these people are forced to make a living except for a few ambitious rebels, since they have a way to live, why take risks to rebel?
On this day, Yang Gao finally stole half a day of leisure, and was concentrating on reading in his room, but suddenly heard Yu Yunwen's anxious call, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Weichen has something important to see." “
