The victory is only temporary, Chang Yu does not dare to take it lightly, in front of him is only the beginning of the siege of Baoding, the thief army has not retreated, hundreds of thousands of people are eyeing the south, they can pounce at any time, and the real tough battle is still behind.

After stirring up indignation in the streets of the city and making a speech to calm the people's hearts and boost morale, Chang Yu went straight to the city without entering the yamen to rest.

Zhang Luojun, a wealthy gentleman in the city, and Fang Zhenghua organized the people to put out the fire in the city and clean up, and the governor of the East Factory hurriedly came to visit, Chang Yu praised the two for their loyalty and patriotism, and after the war, they should play the heavens for the two of them, Zhang Fang and the two of them were overjoyed, and bowed again and again.

Chang Yu asked Nancheng Shouben Wang Dengzhou and Baoding Mansion Governor Xu Yueke, where is Zhu Yongkang, the magistrate of Qingyuan? Shi Kefa told him that he had been placed under house arrest a few days ago.

"Kill" Chang Yu's expression was cold.

Shi Kefa made some difficulties, and he killed the likes of Dengzhou, the king of Ben, but Xu Yuke, Zhu Yongkang was an official of the imperial court, and he killed him without evidence?

Chang Yu patted the green finch on his waist: "This governor holds the emperor's imperial treasure knife, but he can cut it first and then play, these two people should be cut if they are not effective against the enemy, and afterwards they have their own Dongchang Ming Shengshang, and Lord Shi does not need to be responsible."

In fact, Xu said that Zhu Yongkang was fooled by Li Jiantai in history to go out of the city and surrender, but now Li Jiantai died violently in the capital as early as possible, and he didn't even have the opportunity to fight on behalf of the emperor from beginning to end, let alone fool these two, but these two people did passively slack off when the thief army came, but if they were killed, would it be too harsh.

Shi Kefa wanted to intercede, but when he saw Chang Yu say this, he thought that Dongchang had always been resolute and ruthless, and that it should be to deter the rest of the officials, so he stopped talking.

Sure enough, Chang Yu swept more than ten officials with cold eyes, and said sharply: "Shijun Lu is loyal to the monarch, the thieves have gone all the way east to the north, and the hundreds of officials have either abandoned the city and fled or surrendered the city, it is really hateful, this governor will say a word today, if there are passive slacking off in the officials, those who abandon the city and surrender will be killed!" ”

The officials were silent and said slightly, not long after Wang Dengzhou and others were escorted to the city, Dongchang fans raised their knives and fell, more than ten heads rolled down, and the corpses were thrown directly into the city.

In the moat in the south of the city, Cheng Ming and other four commanders led their troops to confront the thief army across the river, and the three thief army camps at the Hou River and the Yimu Spring River in the west of the city have been controlled by officers and soldiers, and Qin Songwang led his troops to rest and recuperate here to take care of more than 10,000 prisoners.

Within a radius of more than ten miles outside Baoding, wolf smoke was billowing and corpses were piled up, and thousands of Ming troops were cleaning up the battlefield and looting the booty.

It was already afternoon, after the war, all the troops were tired, Chang Yu ordered to make a fire to make a meal to rest and recuperate, there was a surplus of grain in the city, Zhang Luojun and Fang Zhenghua led the rich gentry in the city to donate money and grain, it can be said that the grain and grass were sufficient, this move was very popular with Chang Yu, and the two were allowed to go to the yamen to go to the banquet.

He Fu, the prefect of the palace, set up a banquet to celebrate his achievements and wash the dust for Chang Yu, Shi Kefa, Zhou Yuji, Li Yan, Wu Weiying and other more than ten generals were all seated, and there were local gentry Zhang Luojun and Fang Zhenghua.

Of course, the most surprising thing for the generals is that there is also an unfamiliar face, that is, Ji Jike, the grandmaster of the generation who captured the thief leader Hao Yongzhong, was also allowed to sit at the table, Li Yan and others did not know, and after Zhou Yuji was introduced, he heard about his exploits, and it was difficult to hide his surprise, there were such fierce generals, and they all came forward to salute.

Ji Jike once joined the army but was only a low-level military attaché, and now he has just been conscripted into the army and does not even have a false title on his head, but he was invited to the table, and everyone present is at the level of a big man, and he suddenly feels flattered, and he is secretly happy in his heart.

Of course, the official position here is not Shi Kefa's most, and the military department is still known as the superintendent, and the second grade crushes everyone in the banquet, and he should have said a few words at the beginning of the banquet, but after thinking about it, he gave it to the little eunuch, he is the highest official position here, and Chang Yu is the most powerful person.

Chang Yu didn't shirk it, and he didn't have so many clichés, and came up to thank Zhang Luojun and Fang Zhenghua again for their loyalty, these two people were killed by the thieves after the destruction of Baoding City in history, but now he has been flattered by his repeated courtesies like Ji Jike.

After everyone raised their glasses to the two, Chang Yu named the generals under his command one by one, and praised them between words, Li Yan was resourceful, commanded the northern front to fight, and broke several thieves with his own strength to attack several times, and finally the thieves were defeated, and the officers and soldiers under the command of Qin Songwang captured the thief Chen Yongfu, and the sum of them should be the first merit.

Everyone raised their glasses again and again to celebrate, and Li Yan couldn't hide his joy and thanked him again and again.

Zhou Yuji's thief Zhang Naihao Shaoqi has the power to assist, and his captain Ji Ji Kesheng captured the thief's head Hao Shaoqi, and the general He Chengsheng captured the thief's head Bai Guangen, which can be described as a great achievement, on the second merit!

Jin Wuwei's four generals took the lead in breaking Zhang Nai's department, and assisted Li Yan's department, and he was third in merit.

The Black Panther Battalion under the command of Dongchang always rushed to the front line, blocking the most dangerous places, and its leader Jia Waixiong fought bravely, commanded properly, and was the third in Jinwuwei's meritorious service.

The Shenji Battalion has meritorious service in helping the war, and it is the fourth in terms of merit!

He Fu, Shao Zongxuan Zhongjun has the righteousness to help Shi Kefa defend the city properly, and he is the fifth in merit.

The exploits of the war were immediately reported to the court, and the spoils of war obtained by the thieves were rewarded for their merits, and the generals were overjoyed, congratulating each other, and the banquet was full of joy.

The little eunuch poured cold water in time: "The thief army has not retreated, and it is eyeing the south of the city at this time, and its main force is intact and unharmed, and it is estimated that there are still as many as 50,000 or 60,000, plus there are still 100,000 small and miscellaneous troops in the partial division, and there are homeless people who have no plan, and the power is much greater than that of Taiyuan, but Baoding City is not as thick as the high walls of Taiyuan City, so there is no trace of taking it lightly at the moment, and we must be prepared to fight another or even several tough battles."

"Lord Overseer, why don't the thieves take the opportunity to attack us at this time, and how will they resist if they attack us?" Tongzhi Shao Zongxuan asked, and everyone's eyes were focused on the little eunuch.

"This is a good question" Chang Yu put down his chopsticks: "The reason why the thief army didn't do it immediately is that the governor had already planted a few nails behind it before, making it fearful, as for its large-scale attack on Baoding City, how can I resist and I have to ask you, General Li, you can talk about it" Chang Yu threw the question to Li Yan.

Li Yan was silent for a while: "According to the previous plan, he will advance and retreat, and he will not be able to enter the city entirely, otherwise he will be trapped inside and outside the city without reinforcements, and it will be like catching a turtle in an urn."

The generals nodded yes, Chang Yu was silent and looked at Zhou Yuji: "What do you think, Chief Soldier Zhou?" ”。

"Taking offense as defense, we are really without reinforcements in Taiyuan, but sometimes we take the initiative to attack and harass the thief army, break its rhythm and finally defeat the thief ......" Zhou Yuji believes that offense is the best defense.

Chang Yu smiled and said nothing, looking at Shi Kefa: "What is the opinion of Lord Shangshu?" ”

"Gao saw that the old man didn't, I think what General Li and General Zhou said is reasonable, and it would be more beneficial if they were used both, why did the overseer think?"

Chang Yu exhaled: "This governor thinks that P is not as good!" ”

Everyone was in an uproar, looking surprised and puzzled, Chang Yu said this.
