Since tens of thousands of Han troops gathered under the city of Kaizhou, Zhao Xingde had never said so frankly that the Chengying camp would help Wang Hengzhi control the armies of other Han villages in Taibai Mountain.

Opportunity or Trap? Wang Hengzhi felt as if there were countless ants crawling behind him, and his heart was pounding. He took a deep breath, his mouth was dry, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally replied with difficulty: "Brothers for decades, it's not good to tear your face." He gasped as if relieved, he didn't dare to look directly into Zhao Xingde's eyes, looked at the Han army crowded together in the gap in the city wall in the distance, and smiled helplessly and awkwardly.

A look of disappointment flashed in Zhao Xingde's eyes, and after turning around and giving two orders, Jian Cheng and Ma Rui led two hundred cavalry to slowly lean over, and carefully stopped at a distance of twenty or thirty steps from the Han army, alerting the surprise attack of the Khitan cavalry outside the city. "In this case, the rules that should be established must still be established." Zhao Xingde looked ahead, "I also hope that General Wang will help one or two." He spoke in a low tone, with a hint of awe-inspiring momentum. The two discussed for a moment. The sergeant of the Xia State camp rode to the four walls of Kaizhou again on horseback to count the Han troops who still insisted on the defense area, and informed them to cut off the heads of the enemy troops for later use.

"There are still many innocent people in Kaizhou City, and we must send a military law team, so as not to wantonly plunder these guys and ruin the reputation of the Han army."

"What General Zhao said is very true."

At this time, the Khitan soldiers in Kaizhou City had no intention of defending the city, and the military law team composed of Xia cavalry and Kaizhou Han army entered through the south city gate, and erected the banner of the Han army at the entrance of Fangshi, where the Han people lived, and forbade other soldiers and horses from the Han village to enter and harass them. In the military camps and markets where the Khitans lived, military law teams were also sent to inspect them, only allowing them to collect property, grain and grass, prohibiting the fornication of women and children, disarming the Khitans, and keeping them in centralized custody.

It took more than an hour before the fighting in various parts of the city stopped. Wang Hengzhi supervised all the Han troops and the people to extinguish the burning houses in the city, and tossed for a long time before he took a breath, and was shocked to hear that thousands of Han troops had surrounded the state government. "I didn't expect that if this is the case, General Zhao is accurate." Wang Hengzhi sighed secretly, "It's a pity that it's not from my Han army." "With hundreds of personal soldiers, he hurried to the north city where the state government was located. The Xia State was the most reliable and important ally of the Han people in Liaodong, and Wang Hengzhi would never want to see the Han army and the Xia State join forces.

The Khitan households in the city have been robbed once, and the military law team will not let the other people move, and the state government is the last and largest piece of fat. However, Xia Guoying not only had preconceived ideas, but also guarded the state government tightly, and did not allow other Han villages to break into the money, grain, and wealth of the Liao State treasury. The Han soldiers were outnumbered, and they grabbed their eyes again. The Xia State Battalion is strong and strong, and there are iron cavalry artillery to help. A stalemate ensued.

There were more and more Han troops surrounding the state office. In terms of Xia Guoying, under the instruction of Zhao Xingde, Liu Zhijian moved four artillery pieces to the north city tower of Kaizhou, where the field of vision is wide and the firing range is excellent, but the muzzle of the cannon is facing the city, which happens to form a side firing angle on the street at the entrance of the state yamen.

This area in the north of the city was originally a place where Khitan households lived, but now it is ten rooms and nine empty. The nearby streets were full of stragglers, and the further they went, the denser the soldiers became. Some of them were draped with silk and satin snatched from nowhere, some were carrying bulging pockets, some were pushing carts, on which were piled with grain and cloth, and some were driving live sheep and chickens, as if they were rushing to the market. "Why should Phoenix Cottage be swallowed by itself." "Damn, let's rush up and cut down these Xia countries."

Wang Hengzhi didn't have time to reprimand them, and hurried to the state government with his own soldiers, and was relieved to see that the two sides had not yet seen blood.

Compared with the military discipline of the Xia Guoying and the Han army, it is straightforward and clear. The state government waited for a city within a city, the gate was closed, the walls were densely covered with strong bows and crossbows, and the sword, shield, and spearmen were on standby behind the battlements. The Han army attacked the city for two months, did not capture the southeast corner of Kaizhou, and now the soldiers have robbed a lot of money, and they are even more afraid of death. The cavalry of the Xia State Camp was not stationed in the state office, but was on standby in an open place a few streets away, and occasionally a team of iron hooves galloped past from time to time, which also made many people have some scruples. There were more and more Han troops gathered outside the state office, and ordinary soldiers could only open their throats outside the wall and scold the street, and a few Han generals shouted loudly, trying to persuade Xia Guoying to take out the Kaizhou treasury and share it with everyone.

Zhao Xingde stood at the head of the city at the main gate of the state government, and several sergeants carried large shields in front of him. He wanted to establish the concept of "discipline" and "reward and punishment" in the Han army, not only personally shouting to the Han army, but also always taking a step forward and leaning out of the gap in the shield, so that more Han soldiers and generals could see him. Du Fujiao, who was in charge of the sword and shield guards, had a headache, and he couldn't press his head back, so he could only stare at the crowd below, and secretly said that there were rabbit cubs who were hurting people with hidden arrows.

Several Hanzhai generals saw Wang Hengzhi and said with anticipation on their faces: "General Wang, you are highly respected, but you have to make decisions for us." ”

Wang Hengzhi frowned slightly, and walked to the front surrounded by his own soldiers, so as to hear the sound of shouting inside and outside the Qingzhou Ya.

"Zhao Da is in charge," this voice reached his ears, Wang Hengzhi was stunned, and when he saw that it was Wuda who was talking in Zhengzhou Village, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "This is a bad person." The rough shouting overwhelmed the shouting and scolding of the Han army outside the state office, "We admire the strength of Xia Guoying, but you can't eat alone." The brothers dug a ditch outside Kaizhou for two months, and dozens of iron hoes were broken in my village. There is no merit and hard work! "The Han army of each village sent out a chorus." That's it! "Why eat alone!" Everywhere there was the sound of fists, stomping and scolding mothers and swords striking each other, and a crossbow arrow "whoosh" shot out of the air behind the crowd.

"Not good!" Du Blowhorn was scared into a cold sweat, but fortunately the arrow was going in other directions, and it had always been under the anger of the crowd, which daredevils touched the crossbow machine.

Zhao Xingde stood up from behind the shield again, and Du Blowhorn lost his voice and persuaded: "General." Not only did he not retreat, but took another step forward and said loudly: "Brothers, Zhao has something to say first." Phoenix Mountain occupies the state government, not to be monopolized. ”

Before he finished speaking, someone under the state government shouted loudly: "Who believes you!" "Everyone, don't lie to the Xia people!" Wang Heng followed the prestige in the past, and they were all a few stockades who usually did not contribute to the siege of the city, and he frowned in his heart, but they were all old brothers for more than ten years, and it was not good to scold them in public, so he looked towards the head of the state yacheng again, and there was a slight apology in his eyes. Zhao Xingde's speech was interrupted, he paused and raised his left hand. A few sharp-eyed generals secretly said, "Not good! At this time, the artillery of the North City Tower of Kaizhou "boom-" "boom-" and "boom-" opened fire, and the sound of the cannon not only suppressed the noise of the people, but also brought pieces of screams and panic. During the two months of besieging Kaizhou City, the Han soldiers and soldiers had seen too much about the power of artillery. Everyone rushed to the houses next to the street, hid and looked around for a long time, but no shells fell. It turned out that this wave of shelling was only a warning, so only the powder packets were filled, not the shells.

"General Zhao, I have something to say."

Zhao Xingde saw that Wang Hengzhi had finally come out, and said with a smile: "General Wang can be a witness, our battalion occupies the treasury of this state, and it is indeed not for monopoly. but to be distributed to each village according to the rules. Wang Hengzhi asked, "According to what rules?" With his decades of prestige, Wang Heng came forward to negotiate with Xia Guoying, which was expected by everyone, so the other Han generals not only did not interrupt, but restrained their own soldiers from interrupting.

The crowd quieted down, and Zhao Xingde said in a deep voice: "Everyone bled and sweated to beat Kaizhou City, and some people strictly obeyed the military order and killed many Khitan thieves, but they were empty-handed because they entered the city late. Some people gave up defending the land, let go of the Khitans, and only cared about looting in the city, and they had already robbed a lot of money. This Kaizhou Treasury is robbed by everyone, killing thieves and meritorious service always suffers, stealing and playing tricks but taking benefits in vain, who is willing to really contribute to the war in the future! He wandered around the crowd. Several Han generals who were guarding the southeast, west, and west sides of Kaizhou and had been notified had already been notified, echoed loudly: "General Zhao is right! "How many Khitans have we killed, and we entered the city late, and we didn't even catch a single hair!" "That's it!"

It turned out that the Han generals who instigated the Han army to rob the state treasury did not dare to come forward rashly at this time, for fear that as soon as they came out, they would be accused of their responsibility for letting go of the Khitans. Under this situation, the situation outside the state government finally evolved in the direction that Zhao Xingde wanted, and Wang Hengzhi also asked cooperatively: "In Mr. Zhao's opinion, what rules should the property in the treasury be divided according to?" ”

Zhao Xingde smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Don't hide it from you, our battalion has already counted the accumulated reserves in the treasury, with a total of 60,000 stones of grain, a total of 335,000 pieces of gold and silver, and more than 9,000 horses of cloth. If the leaders do not believe, they can send someone in to check it first. A loud exclamation erupted in the Han army. Hearing that there was so much money in the treasury of Kaizhou Mansion, several Han army generals regretted that their teeth were sore, and secretly scolded themselves for only caring about robbing in the city, as long as they rushed to the Kaizhou Treasury earlier than Xia Guoying, and pushed a few carts of silver money away, they made a fortune.

"The property in this treasury was originally the people's fat and people's ointment accumulated by my Liaodong Han for decades, and it was looted by the Liao Imperial Court and stored in the Kaizhou Treasury for rewarding military achievements. Now that we have conquered Kaizhou, although we cannot return all the money to the sufferer, if we divide these belongings indiscriminately, we will inevitably be sorry for our conscience. We are rebels, not bandits, and we generally talk about the rules. Zhao put his words here, a good man who fights seriously should get more points, the head of a Khitan soldier, and a reward of fifty times. The stockade that strictly adheres to the military order should be divided more, and the stockade that insists on blocking the Khitan soldiers and horses on the east, south, west, and north sides will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan first! Let's attack Kaizhou for two months, eating and drinking are all managed by Kaizhou Village, and Kaizhou Village has at least 20,000 or 30,000 stone of military rations, so Kaizhou Village has to take half of the 60,000 stone military rations. In the past two months, more than 1,300 pieces of artillery have been fired, totaling 39,000 yuan. The rest of the military rations, cloth, money, Khitan male and female slaves, each village will be divided according to the number of troops sent this time. ”

The generals of the Han army had not yet come to wake up, Zhao Xingde smiled and asked Wang Hengzhi: "General Wang, do you think it is good?" ”
