Chapter 377: The Birth of General Zuo's Bai Qi
"Hehe, you even use a big axe, let your grandfather and I teach you how to use an axe!"
Pu Yangchuan looked at the big axe in Xu Huang's hand, hehe, the axe was like a whirlwind and slashed at Xu Huang's head, Xu Huang Ling was not afraid, brandished the big axe to meet it, only to hear a golden and iron thunderbolt, the axe blades collided together, and sparks splashed everywhere.
After more than 300 rounds, both of them felt a lot of physical loss, and after another round, the two staggered their positions and stood opposite each other.
Puyangchuan raised the big axe forward, and said a little breathlessly: "You guy, wait for a certain exchange for a war horse, and the two of us will fight again!" β
Xu Huanghu was stunned and shouted, "I'm afraid you won't succeed!" β
When Puyangchuan returned to the city, the head of the Zhang family, who had been waiting for a long time, asked repeatedly: "That enemy general is Liu Gui, one of the four British generals of Dongyu?" β
Pu Yangchuan replied: "It's not Liu Gui, that person claims to be surnamed Xu!" β
"Surname Xu?"
The head of the Zhang family was a little shocked, there were so many generals under Liu De, and he came out at random and fought with my generals, so Liu Gui is also famous for a long time, and he has not made a move until now, how is this good?
Pu Yangchuan saw the anxious look of the head of the Zhang family, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why is the lord worried, when he changes his horse, he will behead this wing!" β
Immediately "pedaling" down the city tower, the head of the Zhang family had a glimmer of hope in his heart, so he did not stop it, but poked his head out and looked at the two warring sides under the city very solemnly.
Waiting until late at night, Pu Yangchuan finally failed to realize his wish to kill Xu Huang, and the two sides finally fought to a draw, and both of them were exhausted, so they had no choice but to return to the city.
The two armies are again in a stalemate.
And Wei Yan, who was far away in Beizhou, had already entered the Liyang City ruled by Yang Tianlong before the army of Ji Yuanshi in Beizhou, and he still used the previous method, and the group pretended to be merchants, and the guards of the city did not suspect him, so they directly put him into the city.
"It seems that the defenders of Liyang have not yet learned the news that Ji Yuanshi is going to lead his troops to attack Jizhou! The city is so peaceful and peaceful! β
Wei Yan directly ripped off the towel on his head and said to Yang Ye on the side.
Yang Ye stroked his beard and said: "Ji Yuanshi has exhausted his army, how can he hide the eyes of the spies, it won't be long before Liyang will be heavily guarded, and I ask General Wei to make plans early!" β
Wei Yan frowned and said: "Now we are blind to the war under Jinyang City, but with the majesty of Guan Junhou, Uncle Yang will definitely not be able to break the city, and can only besiege it, only by making Uncle Yang feel the danger of the back road, can we relieve the siege of Jinyang..."
"What does the general mean?"
Wei Yan raised his head, he had a plan in his heart, his fist smashed on the ground, stared at Yang Ye and said, "Yang Zhuangshi, do you dare to play with a big one?" β
"I want it!"
Liu De finally arrived in Dongyu City, and Zhang Tianlang took the generals and villagers in the city to wait at the gate of the city early.
After all, Dongyu City is the place where Liu De made his fortune, if Liu De is called the emperor, then Dongyu is the place of Longxing, which is equivalent to Liu Bang's Pei County, Liu Xiu's Nanyang, Zhao Kuangyin's Songzhou {that is, Nanjing}, and Zhu Yuanzhang's Haozhou.
And the fathers and villagers of Dongyu City are all proud, after all, Liu De almost grew up with them, and then led the soldiers of Dongyu to conquer all the way to the east and west, and conquered the land of this state, so of course Dongyu's fathers have reason to be proud and proud.
And Liu De treats Dongyu the same way, Dongyu City's taxes have been reduced to the minimum, and I am afraid that in the near future, Liu De will even be exempted from tax and servitude.
Moreover, Liu De's personal guards, BajiΗ ChΓ©ng, are all the children of the original Dongyu, all the soldiers and horses in Yanzhou, and the low-level officers served by the children of Dongyu are also less than half, not to mention, those who retired due to disability and other reasons, and the soldiers who served as grass-roots officials in the countryside are all loyal and willing to die for Liu De.
Liu De returned to Dongyu, and his heart was also surging, there is a good saying!
Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night...
To put it bluntly, you have the right to be rich, and if you don't go back to your hometown and pretend to be forced, how boring it is!
When Liu De got off the horse to meet Zhang Tianlang and the fathers and elders, he went directly to the Martyrs' Shrine, which is the place where Liu De first needs to worship.
In addition to paying tribute to those soldiers who died because of their heroic battles, the Martyrs' Shrine also has Liu De's grandfather, uncle, father, brother and other relatives.
The spiritual positions of Gong Du and Xu Hu, who died in battle before this, are also placed on it, as a general, it is fate to die on the battlefield, Liu De has already seen it, maybe one day he will be in a different place, Gong and Xu will go to find a way for themselves first.
After Liu De led the crowd to worship the martyrs, he returned to the mansion, and Bai Qi was still in Mayi to rectify military affairs, but he had already sent Qin Qiong over and handed the detailed battle report to Liu De.
Liu De looked at the detailed data in the battle report, and couldn't help laughing, Bai Qi used two battles, annihilated nearly 180,000 soldiers and horses in Donghu, captured the king of Donghu Yougu, and killed three Donghu captains, thousands of commanders, and countless centurions, this is an unimaginable number, and Donghu did not lose so many soldiers and horses when facing the attack of the Qiang people, Beihu, and Linhu. {Liu De didn't know that Donghu Youxian, Wang Ma and Dolly died on the road because of a broken head wound}
Tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were captured, and there were 5,000 war horses, and Bai Qi swore in the letter that he would give him two years, and he could double the 5,000 war horses.
Liu De patted the table excitedly and said to the next generals: "General Bai's merit is for Yanzhou, and even for the world to earn a little respite, this general is His Majesty, and for General Bai and his subordinates!" Spread the good news all over the world! β
The work of exterminating Hu is much more than fighting in his own nest, and Yanzhou suffered from the invasion of the Hu people, and wiped out nearly 180,000 young people in Donghu in one fell swoop.
And when people all over the world hear about it, it will also boost Liu De's prestige, which is also what Liu De wants.
And His Majesty above, it is also Liu De who wants to earn a title for Bai Qi, after all, the emperor of Luanzhou is still nominally the son of heaven of the Great Zhou.
Bai Qi's work of exterminating Hu is eligible to be knighted, and only the imperial court has this qualification to be knighted for Bai Qi, Liu De does not, but Liu De can be rewarded with official positions, and in the end, Bai Qi is still Liu De's subordinate.
Liu Dedao: "Feng Baiqi is General Zuo {Wupin}, Qin Qiong is General Fenwu {Liupin}, Wei Chigong, Zhou Daodao, Han Tao, and Peng Xi are all bounty 1,000 taels and ten brocades, and Bai Qi is ordered to go to Jinyang immediately after dealing with the affairs of Ma Yi, and the general is waiting for him in Jinyang!" β
The position of General Zuo is already the highest official position that Liu De can reward as the governor of a state and the general of Checai, and then there are general positions such as Siping, Si'an, Sizhen, and Sizheng that can only be rewarded by the imperial court.
It can be said that the current Bai Qi has completely surpassed Zhang Tianlang and become the first general under Liu De, and with Bai Qi killing 180,000 Hu people, his prestige is far and wide, and the world has heard of it.
On the grassland, it is even more discolored.
