Chapter 21: The Flattering Manner

Jiao Touch knew that he was rash and rash, causing heavy casualties to the cavalry under his command, but fortunately, he defeated the spearmen in the end, which was considered to be a good mission. But he didn't know if in Yuan Xi's eyes could make up for his mistake of underestimating the enemy's rash advance.

Jiao said weakly: "Gongzi, Gongsun Du has been killed, and the officials in Xiangping City are all controlled in the palace." Only Gongsun Du's eldest son, Gongsun Kang, is still resisting stubbornly, and the last general will immediately lead the army to arrest him, and he will definitely be captured alive! ”

"Go ahead." Yuan Xi did not blame Jiao Touch.

"Yes."

Feeling grateful, he led all the cavalry and continued to chase and defeat the fleeing enemy army.

Gongsun Kang's troops fled to Dongcheng, where they encountered the Wuhuan cavalry that came to help, and a fierce battle ensued. The spearmen bore the brunt of the attack, and they were overwhelmed and could not be lined up, suffering heavy casualties.

Jiao Touch chased to Dongcheng and attacked Gongsun Kang's rear army.

Under the two-sided attack...

Gongsun Kang's tens of thousands of troops were surrounded in the city, struggling, and could not break out. Scorched Touch Kills Extremely Bravely. Badun also remembered the new hatred and old hatred, and he was ruthless.

One night's time...

Gongsun Kang was captured alive, and Lun Zhi and Bei Yan were beheaded.

Tens of thousands of troops, the dead, the wounded, and the corpses were all over the field, and the city was washed with blood.

In the end, they all surrendered...

Anxious and Badun made a great deal and returned to the palace to resume their lives.

in the main hall of the royal palace.

Yuan Xi had already interrogated the captured Gongsun Du's civil and military affairs, except for Liu Yi, who was a talented person, the others were rubbish.

It's a pity that Liu Yi is loyal to the Gongsun family and refuses to surrender.

Yuan Xi cut off his head with his own hands!

The full hall of civil and military people did not dare to raise their heads in fright, and curled up on the ground and trembled in fear, until Jiao Touch and Dang suddenly returned, and they were dragged to the corner by the guards on both sides, waiting for Yuan Xi to fall.

Badun walked to the hall, hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Gongzi Xi for giving me the opportunity to take revenge, this battle killed Gongsun Du and captured Gongsun Kang alive, I can go back and have an explanation to the clansmen." ”

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "It should be me who thanks you." Without you to stop Gongsun Kang, maybe he would have escaped from the city and become a big disaster. Before I set out on the expedition, I told you that when Gongsun Du is eliminated, I will be grateful. Now that Xiangping City has been occupied and more than 100,000 enemy troops have been suppressed, the next battle is no longer enough to worry about. I will ask my father to give Wuhuan a heavy reward. ”

"Gongzi Xie."

Pandan never thought that there would be a great reward after defeating Gongsun Du. Because last year, Yuan Shao said the same thing to him, but he was given a false title, and he was used to it.

I didn't expect Yuan Xi to mention it again, indicating that he was sincere.

Bun Dun was even more respectful to Yuan Xi, and it also made him feel that it was the most correct choice to give up the two counties of Liaoxi and Xuansu, because in this way he would get more and Wuhuan would be stronger.

"Childe..."

He stepped aside, and Jiao Touch stepped forward and said: "The last general lightly advanced the enemy, causing casualties to the cavalry, please punish the son." ”

"Do you still know that you are underestimating the enemy?"

Yuan Xi didn't want to punish Jiao Touch, but he didn't expect Jiao Touch to mention it himself, so he didn't want to punish it, so he said: "When I return to Jixian County, I will lead the fifty troops myself." ”

"Gongzi Xie."

Anxiety was relieved.

The highest position of the captives in the palace was Gongsun Du's confidant Yang Yi. Yuan Xi ordered someone to bring them over and said, "Now that Gongsun Du has been killed and Gongsun Kang has been captured, are you willing to submit to me?" ”

"Yes, willing..."

Yang Yi looked flattering, and said: "Gongsun father and son are cruel and unreasonable, they succeeded to the throne against the sky, and harmed the people of Liaodong, and they should have died a long time ago." The small one is looking forward to the left and the right, and only then does he look forward to the arrival of the son. is willing to serve the son, and there is no second heart. ”

"Hmph..."

The civil and military forces in the hall cast a contemptuous gaze from Chao Chaoyi.

Jiao Touch and Badun also don't look down on the yangyi.

Yuan Xi said expressionlessly: "Since you are willing to submit to me, you should not hide anything from me." Let me ask you, how many soldiers and horses are there in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula where Liaodong County, Lelang County, Zhongliao County, Liaodong Peninsula and the Samhan family are located? Don't hesitate, just say it right away! ”

"No, all gone... There are only a few weak brigades left to defend the city, and Gongzi can occupy all the counties in an instant. Yang Yi replied.

"As far as I know, Gongsun Du's soldiers and horses are not only these in Xiangping City, right? Didn't he have an army of 160,000? Yuan Xi frowned.

Yangyi replied: "Two months ago, Gongsun Du decided to occupy the land south of Mazishui (Yalu River), concentrate the soldiers and horses of various counties in Xiangping, and start a war with Goguryeo. Although he won, he lost some soldiers and horses. The 120,000 troops in Xiangyang City are all the troops. ”

"Great!" Jiao Touch and Badun couldn't help but be ecstatic.

Yuan Xi was also a little excited, and said, "If you lie to me..." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare... The little ones don't dare to say half a lie. Yang Yi said.

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi sat precariously and waved his hand: "Take them all down, and take care of them." After I occupy Liaodong, I will dispose of it. ”

"No."

The guards answered.

Dozens of captured Gongsun Du's civil and military personnel, including Yang Yi, were dragged out of the main hall.

Jiao Touch and Dumb stepped forward.

Yuan Xi took out the map he was carrying, put it on the desk to smooth it, and said: "Immediately send someone to tell He Mao and Cui Yan to occupy Zhongliao County, cross the Daliao River, transfer troops to the east, and occupy the Liaodong Peninsula." Jiao Tentacle led 4,000 cavalry and attacked Lelang County and the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. He went with me to the northern part of the Korean Peninsula to guard against a Goguryeo counteroffensive. We want to take over all the territory of Gongsun Du in the shortest possible time. ”

"Yes."

With Yangyi's information, Yuan Xi made arrangements for future battles.

But in Xiangping City, there are still tens of thousands of prisoners, which must be properly disposed of.

Yuan Xi instituted a new policy of captivity. All the captured soldiers were to be disarmed, disarmed, and given a bowl of rice porridge every three days. All generals above the centurion were taken to other places and imprisoned.

Prevent a mutiny at the instigation of the generals.

Send some more people to disguise themselves as captives and blend in with the captives to find out the truth about the development of events. If someone wants to mutiny, the troops stationed in Xiangping City can respond in time.

In this way, only a thousand archers are needed to watch all the captives.

Late June.

He Mao and Cui Yan received an order from Yuan Xi to occupy Zhongliao County.

Transferred troops to the east and conquered the Liaodong Peninsula.

Meantime.

The 4,000 cavalry of Jiao Touch, acting quickly, unexpectedly occupied the Wei clan of the Lelang County Governor's Office. However, Samhan revived, gathered more than 10,000 family forces, resisted stubbornly, was routed by the scorched cavalry, and then occupied the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, where Samhan was located.

Yuan Xi drove mammoths and colorful tigers, and together with the Wuhuan cavalry of Badun, they arrived at Mazishui (Yalu River). Goguryeo sent people to negotiate and promised to cede the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, but refused to pay 30,000 stone grain.
