Following the fingers of the soldier just now, Gao Si suddenly felt that the world was spinning a little.

He rubbed his eyes, looked at it again, and saw about a thousand officers and soldiers wearing black battle clothes and battle armor outside the East City Gate, holding high the Xuanwu battle flag and advancing towards Quwo City.

Those officers and soldiers formed a battle formation, the Changge in the front row reflected the biting cold light in the sun, and the archers in the back row had already held their bows in their hands, waiting for an order to stop, and shoot towards the city.

In the end, he knew that Mo said that he only had less than 1,000 people at the East Gate, even if more than 3,000 people were here, he couldn't stand a charge from more than 1,000 well-trained officers and soldiers.

Because their own people have been fighting all night, and unlike when they resisted the official army in Xuchang City, there is not even a single one of the people around them who help defend the city.

"Hu Mule, you dog, you dare to collude with the officials and soldiers, you will not die a good death."

The angry senior scolded the mule in the direction of the East City Gate.

Although there were still soldiers fighting between the two, the distance between the two was not very far, so the words scolded by the senior reached the ears of Hu Mule word for word.

"Senior high school, don't talk about it, even if Lao Tzu dies, he won't collude with those dog officials and soldiers. You see that our reinforcements have arrived, and you want to separate us, telling you, no way.

Ahh

As soon as the mule said this, he screamed.

He slowly looked back at Xin Tong'er, who had inserted the dagger into his heart, his eyes full of disbelief.

He opened his mouth wide and wanted to ask why, but he didn't say a word after trying for a long time, and he slowly fell to the ground.

The senior on the city wall also saw the killing of Hu Mule, and he was also stunned to watch the rather familiar man pull the dagger out of Hu Mule's vest.

Everyone listened, the officers and soldiers had arrived, and the north, west, and south gates were conquered only in a matter of days, and those who wanted to live put down their weapons and waited for the officers and soldiers to fall.

Daqin Lieutenant Lihua has recovered Baishui County, and now orders me to kill the thief leader, and the rest of the people will not be punished as long as they lay down their arms to meet the officers and soldiers, otherwise, Hu Mule will be your fate. ”

As soon as the words fell, a strange scene appeared between the two armies in the melee.

I saw that the more than 1,500 people and horses from Baishui retreated one after another and formed a knot.

In an instant, there were only more than 400 Hu Mule's subordinates and 8900 senior soldiers and horses on the empty battlefield, standing in place in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"Brother Gao, Brother Gao, the south gate is not Baishui City people attacking the city at all, it is cavalry, it is the cavalry of the official army, it is all cavalry, the brothers were scattered by them as soon as they left the city, and not even a single person escaped in."

Everyone saw a person running to the front of the senior as if he was crazy, as if he was quite stimulated, and he hugged the leg of the senior and cried after speaking.

At the same time, there were also hundreds of people running in the direction of the north gate and the west gate in a disorderly manner in the direction of the east gate, and the people at the east gate could vaguely hear those people shouting as they ran:

"The officers and soldiers are coming in, run wow, the officers and soldiers are coming in."

These words were also heard by the senior in high school, and he stood motionless at the head of the city as if he was stupid.

The 1,000 Qin troops outside the east gate were already approaching the city gate, and the Changge soldiers who formed a battle formation would enter the city gate at any time with just one order, and the archers had already drawn their strong bows and waited for an order at the city head.

Gao Si turned his head to look at the brothers around him, looked at the soldiers who were still fighting desperately with weapons on the battlefield not far away, but were now at a loss, looked at the routs who were crying and fleeing from the north and west gates, and looked at the defenders outside the south gate who had no sound but seemed to be slaughtered by cavalry in front of him.

The senior smiled, looked up and sighed:

"The second king, the eldest brother, the second brother can no longer kill the nobles with you, and the Datong is built, it is all the mules who have harmed me, and I will not let him go as a ghost, the sky is dead, the way of heaven is unfair, the way of heaven is unfair. ”

After saying that, Gao Si squeezed away the people beside him, jumped down from the city head of nearly twenty paces, and fell heavily on the bluestone paved ground with a whimper.

Everyone in the city stared blankly at this scene, looking at the senior leader under the city wall.

Seeing that the main general was dead, and where did the rest of the rebels dare to fight again, they put down their weapons one after another and fell to their knees.

......

When Lihua returned to Hanhai City again, it was the first month of the 591st year of the Great Zhou calendar.

After capturing the four cities of Quwo, Baishui, Longmen, and Liangyuan in two months, he did not go south to attack Xuchang, but ordered his troops and horses to be tied up in Quwo and Baishui City.

His attention had shifted from Hexi to Jilin City in Shuofang County.

However, to his surprise, the Rong people in Ji Lin City have not moved for most of the year, as if they have nothing to do with the Qin State, as if they are deliberately maintaining restraint.

Even when the scouts under the Lihua and the Rong scouts met under Jilin City, the scouts of the Narong people would take the initiative to retreat.

She felt that all these signs had shown that her guess was accurate.

It must be that the Rong people have already put all their attention on Yuanzhou, so they will order the soldiers and horses in other places not to fight with the Qin army easily, otherwise how can the Rong people in various places give in to this.

Soon after returning to Hanhai, he summoned all the generals to Hanhai City to discuss matters.

After a heated discussion, he ordered that some of the people of Quwo and Baishui be relocated to Hanhai and Longmen counties, so that the lands of the two lands could be cultivated.

At the same time, he ordered Gao Yunce and Liang Qingshu to be in charge of the migration of the people in the six counties of Hexi and Hanhai City, as well as the sublease and reclamation of land in various places.

Ordered Wei Yuanqi to take charge of the 10,000 troops in Hanhai City.

Ordered An Moran to take charge of the 12,000 troops in Quwo and Baishui, and at the same time let Li Ji and Tang Yuan follow An Moran to take charge of the soldiers and horses of the two counties.

He ordered Liujaw to lead a thousand people to select 5,000 people from the six or seven thousand men and horses captured in the three cities of Liangyuan, Baishui, and Quwo one after another to train them, so that they could be put into the battlefield as soon as possible.

After the order was given, everyone dispersed and went to their own business.

In fact, what seemed to be the most complicated matter of moving the people went smoothly afterwards, because the land in the counties was originally the private property of the nobles, and did not belong to these people.

Therefore, when the people were told that they would sublease their land after going to Longmen or Hanhai, and that they would be exempted from land rent for five years, those people flocked to it and spontaneously went north.

What was planned to be completed within half a year was properly handled by Gao Yunce and Liang Qingshu two months later.

Two months later, when he inspected the counties and found that the land was all over the place, he was also overjoyed, and praised Gao and Liang for their extremely high talent and efficiency in civil affairs.

At this time, it is the beginning of March, and it is almost time for spring to bloom.

During this period of time, in addition to inspecting the civil affairs and military affairs of various counties every day, Zhu Lihua, Wei Mu, Niu Yong and others went south to Yuanyou along the border between Hexi and Qin Lan, and while exploring various defenses, they were preparing to ask Yuanyou for some weapons to equip more and more of their soldiers and horses.

What Lihua didn't know was that in the six months after Jieyuan left, every time Lihua sent the military reports from the recovered counties to Xijing, it would cause bursts of amazement in the Xuanwu Palace.

With the new Sima Jieyuan telling all the things about Zhu Lihua in the court of the Xuanwu Palace every day, the Zhu Lihua, who is only twenty-four or five years old, has become the focus of discussion among Xijing officials.

His achievements in Yuxiao Pass and Yuanzhou were re-turned and talked about by people with hearts, and his deeds in Hanhai City, Shuofang County, based on a lonely city of 3,000 soldiers and horses, were widely praised in half a year.

Because he didn't belong to any of the three major forces of Zhao, Yong, and Fang, he became the object of everyone's desire to woo him.

After all, this young man who has taken charge of himself and achieved such a proud record is in his early twenties.

Some people compared it with Fang Yuanheng, the god of war at the same age, and found that this young man's achievements were far better than Fang Yuanheng at that time.

So much so that at a certain court, someone directly asked the monarch to let Lu Lihua add the seal of General Shuofang and lead the soldiers and horses of Hexi and Shuofang to quell the rebellion.

Of course, no one will take this sentence seriously, because the person who said it was just a flattering remark that the monarch said according to the king's intention every time he showed great interest in talking about Zhu Lihua.

But in less than two years, from a small hundred generals to the current captain, Zhu Lihua has been honored by others for decades.

Therefore, including the monarch, everyone who admires Lihua believes that he must not be promoted again, because everyone understands the truth that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind.

Even so, Zhu Lihua still aroused the jealousy and hatred of some people, so he was impeached many times in the court for his private expansion of troops.

Although it was the monarch who came forward every time to prevaricate on the grounds that he should do extraordinary things in an extraordinary period, everyone could see that the people of Lihua were still far away in Shuofang, but the court and China had already established political enemies.

But on another level, it also shows that Lihua's ability is too outstanding.

"Jiesima, just now you said that the little plague is waiting to report, saying that the people of Quwo and Baishui counties have completed the Beichong, can this be true?"

On this day, the monarch Yongdaocheng looked at Jie Yuan with a smile and asked.

Since last year's letter from Yuanzhou, Wang Min killed 30,000 Rong people, Qin Gong has been in a good mood, and since then, he has received military reports from Zhu Lihua to recover the counties one after another, and Qin Gong has become more and more excited as if he saw the promise of Zhongxing.

He tirelessly manages the affairs of the country every day, no matter how big or small the political affairs are, he personally intervenes, just like the style of an ancient emperor.

In the past six months, the Duke of Qin also personally went to Xieyu Pass, and met with the monarch of Qi, and exchanged the land of the five counties of Xieyu Guandong for the promise that Qi would not come to attack Qin, as well as grain and grass for 300,000 troops for a year.

Although in order to appease Yongluan's anger, Duke Qin gave half of these grains and grass to Yongluan, but he also made efforts for the good situation of Daqin in the past half a year.
