Peng Yue's soldiers and horses marched all the way, after all, they were attacked by the remaining 1,000 cavalry troops in Chezhuang, and they attacked to the death knowing that they could not do it, which can be regarded as a commendable courageous army.

The march of Liu Pi and Gong Du was unusually smooth, and they only suffered from a small number of remnants, and they quickly took control of the arsenal and the county government.

Dian Wei and Xu Hu combined as soldiers and horses all the way to the mansions of the various guards in the city, in fact, most of these mansions were the temporary residences of the generals, and their wives and children generally lived in Liaocheng, not in the small border city of Liaoyuan.

Dian Wei and Xu Hu also searched only with the attitude of preferring to kill the mistake rather than let go, in case there was a surprising situation.

It's just that I didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly, in Chefu, a team of guards dragged the drunk Chezhuang out of the side room, and when he was pressed out, Chezhuang was still screaming for wine, and he was followed by two timid concubines.

Dian Wei snorted disdainfully: "The dignified Lord General has become like this, the city is broken, and he still has the heart to drink and have fun?" What a shame! ”

Xu Hu ordered: "Come on, press him down, and wait for the lord to deal with it!" ”

"Yes!"

The two guards replied.

This offensive and defensive battle lasted for a whole day, including clearing all the enemy troops inside, capturing the enemy generals, and Xun Yu and Xu Shu also went to the city to post notices to appease the people.

Thanks to Liu De's reputation for benevolence and righteousness, and because of the shock of fighting against the prestige of the Hu people, the people of Liaoyuan City quickly obeyed the orders of the Dongyu Army and went home to stand by.

In fact, more people don't know why there is a sudden war, aren't both sides officials and generals of the Great Zhou?

I only know that there are rumors that Yang Zichuan collaborated with the enemy Mài Guó and deliberately connived at Lin Hu to enter the customs, resulting in the tragic death of several people of the single family, Leyang City was breached, and a large number of Yanzhou people were displaced, and even more were taken captive by the Hu people and became slaves of the Hu people.

This made the people of Liaoyuan City quite frightened and angry, but later Chu Ying issued an announcement, saying that the message was unsubstantiated and had no evidence at all, which was Liu De's malicious slander.

Besides, Chu Ying's 50,000 horses are sitting here, so no matter how angry the people are, they will be suppressed, and after Chu Ying arrests a few people, no one dares to come forward!

However, anyone who understands a little bit of the matter can see a hint from what Yang Zichuan did. Know that this rumor may be true.

Subsequently, rumors of Liu De's personal morality quickly spread among the people, saying that Liu De occupied his sister-in-law after his brother died in battle, and disregarded his family, which was really a heinous crime.

Everybody gets it!

The people are ignorant, maybe Lin Hu may not care too much about the entry of Lin Hu, but these gossip ** things spread very quickly, and the people in the market like the gossip secrets of these big people! This does have a certain impact on Liu De.

After Liu De received the report and learned about this, he didn't dare to be careless, after all, it was detrimental to his reputation, his brother Liu Gan single-handedly blocked thousands of Hu Rà troops at the city gate, and he was angry when he was dying, standing tall, making Hu people frightened, and he didn't dare to step forward.

If Liu De does such a thing, he will definitely be scolded by the world!

Although the social atmosphere of the Great Zhou Dynasty is a supportive attitude towards widows remarrying, Liu Denai is Liu Gan's younger brother, and doing such a thing is no different from a beast!

Liu De reacted quickly, on the one hand, he sent soldiers to Dongyu to tell his sister-in-law not to worry, after all, Dongyu is the foundation of the Liu family, and the people of Dongyu know what kind of person Liu De is.

On the other hand, there is no good way, so I can only send someone to clarify, after all, my sister-in-law is eleven years older than Liu De! If you're of the same age, it's even harder to clarify.

Liu De had already guessed that this was Yang Zichuan's conspiracy, but for these gossips, as long as they spread, it was difficult to completely stop them.

In Liu De's view, as long as Yang Zichuan is eliminated, the spread of rumors can be cut off from the root, and over time, these rumors will eventually fade away.

......

Liu De entered the city in the middle of the night, and when he broke through Liaoyuan City, Liu De had already ordered Gongsun Qi to lead the cavalry to pursue Chu Ying's 20,000 horses at full speed, and it is hard to say that he was defeated, but as long as he could delay Chu Ying for a few days, and wait until Liaocheng was broken by Liu Gui and Guan Yu, then the overall situation would be decided!

When Liu De arrived at the county office, the generals had been waiting for a long time!

"Lord!"

The generals bowed in unison.

"You don't have to be polite!" Liu De helped him and walked straight to the position in front of him, and sat on the main seat.

Peng Yue stepped forward and said: "My lord, the enemy army in Liaoyuan City has been basically cleared, killing 8,300 enemy troops, capturing a total of 16,000 enemy troops, including minor and serious wounded, and the rest of the enemy troops have basically fled, killing and capturing a total of 14 enemy generals and above, including Chezhuang, the lord of Leyang City; Our army lost more than 3,000 killed, 3,000 lightly wounded, and 600 seriously wounded. ”

"My Dongyu soldiers are worthy of being elite soldiers who have experienced many tests of blood and fire, and they all say that the besieging side has suffered heavy losses, but it has been proved that as long as the soldiers are elite enough, they can really take one enemy and two, one as five, or even one as ten! It's just that there are still too few officers and soldiers in our army, otherwise there would not have been so many twists and turns! ”

"What the lord said is very true, but after this battle, our army has already suffered more than half of the casualties, and I am afraid that there is no strength to fight again." Xun Yu said.

"What the military advisor said is reasonable, but now that the situation is dangerous, the Yang thief will not give us a chance to breathe, and these people who have been captured can also become our soldiers..."Liu De tapped on the chair and said to everyone.

"This..."

The generals glanced at each other, and Liu Pi stepped forward and said, "Is the lord trying to recruit these soldiers?" It's just that they have followed Yang Zichuan and Chu Ying for many years, and even if they can surrender, I'm afraid it won't be reassuring! ”

"What Captain Liu Pi said is reasonable, so we still need to plan carefully, General Liu Gui and General Guan still have thousands of soldiers and horses, and we still have the strength to fight!"

Liu De paused and continued: "Is there any news from Chen Qi and Jiang Lin?" ”

Dai Zong replied: "The last general has sent a sentry to investigate, and there is no news yet. ”

Xun Yu listened and smiled slightly: "Lord, please go to this Wuqiu, Lankou and other counties, and help the lord's soldiers to take these cities without blood." ”

"Isn't this too dangerous? These city county orders and county lieutenants were all appointed by Yang Zichuan himself, and even if we have the imperial edict in our hands, it is not easy to take charge of the remaining eight counties. Liu De worried.

"Please also rest assured, our army is coming with the general trend, the enemy is afraid of the might of our army, and will not dare to resist, how can there be danger, and please wait for the good news of the minister!" Xun Yu bowed.

"What do you want?" Liu De asked.

Xun Yu thought for a moment and said: "The minister asked the lord to send a man to assist me, and send a soldier and horse, and the minister did his best to recover the remaining eight counties for the lord!" ”

"Say! Who do you want? Liu De waved his hand, there are so many people, no matter how Xun Yu chooses.

"Please ask Mr. Jian to go with me, Qin Duwei is just attacking Yangma, just let Qin Duwei help me."

Now Qin Qiong's military report of capturing Yangma City has not yet reached Liu De's hands.

"Good! A certain military advisor was given the right to make arbitrary decisions, and Jian Yong and Qin Qiong were ordered by you! Liu De handed over the arrow on the table to Xun Yu, and wrote the order, and sent the order to Dongyu and Yangmacheng quickly.

Xun Yu took the arrow and bowed: "The minister will not let the lord down!" ”

"Please be careful!" Liu De instructed with concern again, and then turned his head and instructed Dian Wei: "Bring the car village up!" ”

"Yes!"

After a while, Che Zhuang was pressed by Dian Wei, after most of the day, Che Zhuang had sobered up, seeing Liu De in front of him, Che Zhuang pursed his lips and did not say a word.

"Bold! Defeated generals! When you see my lord, why don't you kneel! Behind Liu De, Xu Hu shouted.

Dian Wei grabbed Che Zhuang's shoulder and pushed the back of Che Zhuang's knee with his knee, Che Zhuang couldn't hold on, "Smack!" He fell to his knees.

But his waist was straight, and he still stared at Liu De, without a glance.

Liu De leaned forward and suddenly smiled: "When the city was broken, I didn't see you; When more than 1,000 cavalrymen fought to the death, they didn't see you; But I saw you drunk in the mansion, I don't know if Chu Ying will regret finding such a cowardly and incompetent person after knowing the news! ”

Che Zhuang heard Liu De's sarcastic remarks, and wanted to stand up angrily, but was suppressed by Dian Wei.

Liu De waved his hand and said to Dian Wei: "Lao Dian, you let him go, although I am powerless, but in the face of a person who does not even dare to meet the enemy, only knows to hide in the house and drink alcohol, how can I be afraid of him." ”

After hearing this, Che Zhuang opened his mouth and scolded: "If you want to kill, you will kill, and Hugh will humiliate me!" ”

Liu De nodded: "In this way, you are still a man, but, unfortunately..."

Liu De waved his hand casually, and Chezhuang was taken down.

Che Zhuang was still shouting before leaving: "Liu De, what do you mean!" If you want to kill, you will kill! ”

"Lord, what are you?" Someone wondered.

"I actually wanted to recruit this man, when he fought with General Gongsun, although he was defeated, he still led the cavalry quite methodically, but what I didn't expect was that he would be cowardly in battle! It was someone who overestimated him, so I wanted to see for myself if I was wrong, but unfortunately, although this person is very tough on the surface, he can't change his inner cowardice, this person, not available! If you use it, it will be a big deal! ”

"Lord, is that so?" Xu Hu made a cutting motion.

"You go and verify, including all the enemy soldiers, whether they have done anything to mutilate the people, if so, correct the law on the spot, if not, detain them first, and wait until we finish eliminating Yang Zichuan!"

"Tiger understands!"

"As for Chezhuang, if there is nothing terrible, let him go! He has been scared out of his guts, and it is better to be an ordinary person in the future than to die! ”

"Yes!"

Liu De looked around at the generals and said: "Tomorrow, repair for a day, the day after tomorrow, the whole army will open Liaocheng, Huo Jun, I will send you a thousand soldiers to guard Liaoyuan City, appease the prisoners, and prevent people from provoking them to take the opportunity to make trouble!" ”

"The last general understands!"

Huo Jun stood up and said.

Liu De couldn't help but nodded, this man who was the first to be summoned and silent, as if he was invisible, was the one Liu De had always trusted the most.

has been silently guarding the city wall of Dongyu, this is a person worthy of trust.

Moreover, Huo Jun is quite courageous, known as a strategist, and his stunt is [Jiancheng], which is the most suitable for guarding the Liaoyuan City.

However, it is definitely a big test for Huo Jun to use a thousand soldiers to watch more than 10,000 surrendered troops, but Liu De firmly believes that Huo Jun can successfully complete this task, there is no doubt about it.

......

Wenxian is a total of eight counties away from Liaocheng, Liu Gui and Guan Yu led the army all the way, and now they have conquered five counties, these five counties, the first county seat is the city gate opened by Wei Yan pretending to be Yang Zhenghui's defeated army; The second and third were bypassed from a distance, and the county guards might have been worried, so they did not pursue.

The fourth city wanted to bypass it, but the defender recklessly led the troops to attack, Zhang Fei only used a surprise attack to defeat these ineffective county soldiers, although it was a county soldier, but it was far from the county soldiers of Baoshan Li Liang, just a group of people, Zhang Fei commented.

As for the fifth county, because of the terrain, it may take an extra day to bypass it, and some supplies can be replenished, so the generals unanimously decided to break through this county seat, as imagined, in less than half a day, Liao Hua took the lead in jumping into the city, got a first achievement, and took the city, and the county commander and the county lieutenant had already fled when the city was breached.

Now there are only three county towns in front of everyone.

Spreading out the map, Zhang Hong pointed out the location of the county seat to the soldiers, "This county town is called [Siping], and there have been several important ministers of the court in the past few hundred years in the Great Zhou!" It's all from the Ma family.

Although the current Ma clan no longer has any foundation in the imperial court, they are still a soil overlord in this small county town! However, according to the news that the spies learned from the people, the Ma family has long lost the glory of their ancestors and has become Yang Zichuan's accomplice in killing the people. ”

"Since we have mutilated the people, then we have a reason to clean up this Ma clan!"

Zhang Fei rubbed his hands.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?" Liu Gui asked.

Zhang Hong shook his head: "Time is too short, and I can't find out anything yet..."

"It's not going to be easy right now!" Liu Gui muttered.

"Huh!"

Zhang Fei waved his hand at this time and interrupted: "Since you don't know the strength, let me go and call the battle to find out what he is!" ”

Guan Yu stroked his long hair and said, "What Zhang Fei said is reasonable, and I think it is feasible!" ”

When Zhang Fei heard Guan Yu's praise, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and his big mouth was about to grin behind the root of his ears.

Liu Gui thought about it, it was indeed this reason, so he nodded in agreement, "Okay!" According to this method, Captain Zhang Fei went to the front of the city to fight! ”

"No! The last general commands! ”
