Chapter 333: Return to Qinzhou

Without waiting for the defenders to say anything, Su Zhong stepped forward quickly.

"Go and tell you General Sun, if the Xuanwei army can't even take its own marching rations out of the city, what's the use of keeping the granaries and armories in the city, just burn them."

After these few words were finished, Su Zhong walked up to the officer, stared into his eyes, and waited for him to reply.

When the officer heard this, he did not dare to say anything more, but he stood still and did not move.

"If you don't open the city gate, go and invite your General Sun to see what he has to say." Su Zhong was not polite at all.

The officer did not speak, nor dared to move, neither did he report it, nor did he give the order to open the gates.

Su Zhong smiled, turned to a soldier next to him and said, "Go and tell the brothers in the back that you will burn down the granary and armory after taking the things, and don't leave anything behind." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a voice coming from the city: "Brother, don't be angry, these people are just a tendon in doing things, they don't know how to be flexible, and my brother is more forgiving." ”

Su Zhong looked up and saw an armored officer coming down from the city, smiling and calm, obviously having been in the city for a long time.

When the armored officer came down to the city and stood still in front of him, Su Zhong said: "What do you mean by this, can the city still come out, if it can't get out, let's find a way, anyway, this city was all shot down by us with a knife and a shot, and there is no problem in taking it back." ”

The armored officer smiled and said, "Whatever my brother says, the city is all down by you, and everything in the city is yours, so you can take whatever you want." Then he commanded: "Open the city gate and send the Xuanwei army brothers out of the city." ”

Su Zhong hugged his fists and said, "There is labor." ”

The gates were soon opened, and the drawbridge was lowered.

Su Zhong waved his hand, and the Xuanwei army quickly left the city with military rations and ordnance, and the teams continued to go to the east.

An hour later, there was no more Xuanwei Army soldier in Liangshan City.

"General, they are all gone, all the way to the east, it is estimated that they still go back over the mountains, and they should go back to Qinzhou." The first guard will report to Sun Qing, who has inspected the city.

"Okay, then leave them alone. Go according to the plan, collect all the valuable things in the city, and bring them all back. Sun Qing replied expressionlessly.

The guard replied yes, and then asked with some hesitation: "There are more than 20,000 people in the city, what should you do with those people?" Will they be driven out of the city, or will they be taken captive and returned to Yulin? ”

Sun Qingdao: "What do you keep them for, what do more than 20,000 people feed them, they are all Li Yue people, they are enemies, and if they are enemies, they should be cut down and eradicated." Besides, we can do without Liangshan City, but we can't leave it to Li Yueren. ”

The guard shouted loudly.

"The order goes down, before noon, all the supplies must be collected, and they must be searched from house to house, and no one will be missed. Tell them that whoever dares to hide their secrets will be put to death immediately! Sun Qing's tone was cold.

The guards and heralds were ordered to go.

A quarter of an hour later, with the screams that kept sounding everywhere, the killing in Liangshan City began, the bloody gas was mixed with the smell of tens of thousands of corpses rotting, as the people who fell under the knives and guns used more and more, in less than an hour, the smell of corpse decay that had filled Liangshan City for several days was covered with a rich and incomparably bloody gas, which made people smell disgusting, and they just wanted to escape as soon as possible.

The Xuanwei Army, who had left early, took a big gulp and wantonly breathed the freshest air in heaven and earth, clearing away the corrupt breath that had been inhaled in his heart and lungs these days.

After marching twenty miles in one breath and entering the mountains and forests, Xuanweijun took a short rest, buried the pot to make food, and filled the hungry stomach.

The five teams of Xuanwei Army, which had been active in the east of the city earlier, hid their tracks after the siege of Liangshan City, and some of them withdrew to Tongmian, and some of them stayed in the east of the city to investigate the enemy's situation.

After eating and resting briefly, the whole army continued to march, and officially began to cross the mountains and mountains with rations and ordnance, and rushed the road where it came.

A few days later, the Xuanwei army returned safely to Tongmian, and then rested for a day, gathered all the nearby troops, and reorganized into the Xuanwei army. When the Xuanwei army recovered a little, the whole army immediately left Tongmian and continued to march.

Ten days later, the Xuanwei army returned to Dongxing Town via Tongzhong and Natong.

Qinzhou has not seen the enemy army for several months, and there is no Xuanwei army and Youyi army stationed in Dongxing Town, since the two armies left, they have returned to Qinzhou control, and there are many Qinzhou state soldiers stationed to assist in transporting logistics supplies to the direction of Yulin.

The Xuanwei army did not stay here for a long time, and after resting for a day, they left by boat and soon returned to the vicinity of Qinzhou, but it was necessary to ask Moltke, the governor of Qinzhou, for the specific station.

More than 10 seagoing ships and warships were all docked in the outer harbor of Qinzhou, and the whole army was not allowed to leave the shore at will.

After more than a month of marching, the soldiers didn't want to go anywhere, they just wanted to rest, Yang Congyi naturally let them get their wish, so he ordered the whole army to rest in place before there was a new order.

After handing over the 36,700 Xuanwei army to Yao Chang, Su Zhong and others, Yang Congyi immediately rushed to Qinzhou City with dozens of personal guards.

Zhizhou Mao Qi had already received the news of the Song army's victory, and he was still very excited to see Yang Congyi appear intact in the state office, after all, the Xuanwei army was stationed in Qinzhou, and in this counterattack Li Yueguo's invasion, he made several meritorious contributions, giving Qinzhou a big face.

In particular, the battle of Xuanwei Army and Youyi Army from Qinzhou to the north to seize Yulin and Liangshan, the collection and supply of logistics materials were all handled by Qinzhou, this front was very important to the repulsion of Li Yueren, and because of this, he went back and forth between Qinzhou and Yongzhou again and again, as the Xuanwei Army took Liangshan, Youyi Army recaptured Yulin, and showed his face many times in a group of colleagues, and Qinzhou's status in Guangnan was quickly highlighted.

As soon as he heard that Yang Congyi had returned to Qinzhou City, Moltke immediately sent someone to guide him into the living room, served hot tea, and then served several plates of snacks, which was very enthusiastic.

"Yang Jianjun's trip to Liangshan has gained a lot, I heard in Yongzhou that Li Yue's retreat this time, most of the reason is that the Xuanwei army captured Liangshan, and the hundreds of thousands of loads of grain and countless ordnance that Li Yue people hoarded there were all in the bag, and cooperated with the Youyi army to cut off all the channels for Li Yue's reinforcements from the direction of Shenglong, so that the enemy's grain and grass near Yongzhou were completely unsupplied, so they had to retreat. If you talk about meritorious deeds, Yang Jianjun will definitely be able to rise to the top, and he will be able to rise to the top in the future. Moltke smiled, and after taking a sip of hot tea, he praised Yang Congyi and Xuanweijun.

Yang Congyi smiled, made a modest attitude, and replied: "Lord Zhizhou has praised it falsely, and the Xuanwei Army is just doing its duty, in order to expel Li Yueren from the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible and end the war between the two sides, it is just a desperate fight." However, fortunately, we won, otherwise Xia Guan would have accompanied 4,000 soldiers to the Liangshan Mountain. It's all a fluke, and the enemy takes it lightly, and if they are well prepared, we may not be able to get a bargain. ”

Mao Qi smiled: "Yang Jianjun is so humble at a young age, and his edge is not revealed, which is really commendable. Now that the war is over, I don't know what arrangements the imperial court will have, but before the edict is issued, the Xuanwei army is still stationed in Qinzhou, and the supervising army will live in the state government. ”

Yang Congyi said: "The lower officials rushed to Qinzhou, just to ask Lord Zhizhou for the matter of where the Xuanwei Army is stationed, the Xuanwei Army has been stationed in Haikou fifty miles away from Qinzhou at this time, and also ask Lord Zhizhou to arrange a place for the Xuanwei Army to stay. ”

Mao Qi said: "The west of Qinzhou City is relatively barren, disturbed by Li Yue, sparsely populated, and there is nowhere to stay except Anyuan. But now that Anyuan has returned to normal order, it is inconvenient for the Xuanwei army to stay. It's better to do this, the Xuanwei army drove directly to the east of Qinzhou, and the military supplies and grain and grass were supplied nearby, what did the supervising army think? ”

Yang Congyi said: "More than 3,000 people are stationed outside Qinzhou City, too close to the city, it will add a lot of trouble to Qinzhou City, in fact, it is okay to camp twenty or thirty miles south of the city, the military camp is still not too close to Qinzhou City, Lord Zhizhou thinks?" ”

Mao Qi thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "What the prison army said is reasonable, then according to what the prison army said, the Xuanwei army will camp twenty miles south of the city, and all the grain and grass and military supplies will be supplied by Qinzhou City." ”

Yang Congyi raised his hand and thanked: "Thank you, Lord Zhizhou!" ”

Moltke raised his glass and said: "The prison army does not have to be polite, since the Xuanwei Army was transferred to Qinzhou, several victories have been won one after another, which makes me and the people of Qinzhou very down-to-earth, and gives the Xuanwei Army some convenience, which is also a matter for me, the parent official." Drink tea. ”

The two of them raised their glasses and drank each other.

After putting down the teacup, Moltke said: "The Xuanwei army is triumphant, Qinzhou is very happy, tonight in Hongbin Building to set up a banquet for Yang Jianjun to celebrate the merits, dozens of officials from the state government will come to celebrate, then I will introduce a few young talents to the prison army, maybe there will be another intersection in the future, many acquaintances in the officialdom, but also many roads." ”

When Yang Congyi heard this, he was immediately very moved in his heart.

Since coming to the Song Dynasty, there are very few people who have deep friendships with him, and after the official appointment, there are few colleagues who have intersected, except for Tang Xun, Huang Qi, Dai Cong, and Zhao An, who have been with each other for a long time, others have just seen it, among these four people, Huang Qi is an internal servant, difficult to climb, Dai Cong is an important minister of the imperial court, and the status is very different, it is difficult for them to intersect again, and Zhao An was born in the military, the two are not speculative, the only friend Tang Xun, without saying goodbye, and I don't know where he went, in this officialdom, he is really alone.

If you want to say that there is a high-ranking official who has a friendship, in fact, he also knows one person, or the person he recommended to enter the martial arts, that is Chen Ru is Chen Zhizhou, but now I haven't seen him for more than two years, and I don't know how much friendship is left.

So in this officialdom, he really needs someone to introduce him, get to know and make some colleagues.

So he immediately got up and thanked: "Thank you, Lord Zhizhou, for your support!" ”

Moltke smiled: "You don't have to thank me, young talents, they should have a chance to get ahead." As the governor of a state, I am a five-grade court official, and the opportunity to become an official in the court is gone, but I also have to care about the world and recommend good talents for the court. If there is something to be achieved in the future, I will be relieved. ”
