Chapter 332: Taking over Liangshan
"Lord Wu, the Xuanwei army has withdrawn, how to deal with the tens of thousands of corpses outside the city, and what to do with the more than 20,000 people in Liangshan?" Now that the war is over, the innocent people of Liangshan must also have a place to go.
Wu Dadao: "As soon as the Xuanwei army withdraws, Liangshan has nothing to do with us, and Li Yue people will deal with it." ”
Yang Congyi said: "Lord Wu, if these people are willing to join the Great Song Dynasty, can they be sent to Yulin?" ”
Lord Wu pondered for a moment, and then replied: "Guangnan is vast and sparsely populated, but you can consider it, then send them all to Yulin, and wait for the official to go back and discuss it with your colleagues, and he will deal with it." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wu."
"Alright. What should be said has been said, it is time for the official to return to Yulin, and the Xuanwei army must act according to the order and withdraw from Liangshan before noon tomorrow. After Lord Wu finished speaking, he immediately got up.
Although Yang Congyi was in a bad mood, he quickly stood up and said, "It's not too late for Lord Wu to leave after eating a light meal in Liangshan." ”
"No, there are many affairs after the war, and there are still many things to deal with in Yulin and Yongzhou, if there is a fate, Yongzhou will see you again." After Lord Wu refused, he shouted for someone to come.
Immediately, a person came in from outside the hall, and Lord Wu pointed at him and said: "Yang Jianjun, after the Xuanwei army withdraws tomorrow, Liangshan City will have to make a formal settlement with Li Yueren, and several of them will stay in Liangshan for the time being to take over the follow-up affairs." ”
"Yes." Yang Congyi didn't say anything, they were all going to withdraw, and they could still care about what happened in the future.
Yang Congyi sent Lord Wu out of the palace and sent it all the way to the south gate of Liangshan City, and only returned to the city after seeing the carriage go away.
"Pass the order, the whole army will stop all actions, and immediately return to the city to stand by!"
The heralds ran straight to the north gate to convey military orders to Su Zhong, Yuan Hua and others.
Lord Wu didn't even drink a sip of water from Liangshan City, he couldn't wait to get out of Liangshan City, he just wanted to escape from this place quickly, and Yang Congyi didn't want to.
If it weren't for the idea of cutting off Li Yueren's desire to capture Guangnan again, why would the Xuanwei army insist on staying in Liangshan, breathing in the ubiquitous smell of rotting corpses.
Li Yue's army has withdrawn to the south of Daliangshan, although now is a good time to occupy Liangshan City and take the pass in the west of the city, and in one fell swoop can completely block Li Yueren outside the Great Song Dynasty, but since the imperial court wants to end the war as soon as possible, and Yongzhou wants to make meritorious deeds, what can he do, withdraw as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be able to get the merits that should be taken, not to mention, and then fall into a crime, but he will not be able to eat and walk around.
After a long battle, he did not retreat, and violated the intention of the imperial court to seek peace, but there is a lesson from the past, and hundreds of thousands of elite privy envoys in command can be unjustly killed, not to mention that he has a small Huiyi escort to supervise the army.
In the palace, Yang Congyi announced the imperial court order in front of everyone: "The imperial court has reached a peace agreement with Li Yue, and before noon tomorrow, the entire army of Xuanwei must withdraw from Liangshan." ”
Hearing the news, everyone's eyes widened and they looked dazed.
"Why?"
"This is an order from the imperial court! Don't ask why, and there aren't so many whys, carry out the military order! "Yang Congyi suddenly became extremely severe, where can the orders of the imperial court be questioned by the Xuanwei army, and neither can the Yue family's army! Otherwise, it's going to be a head-off.
"You all remember, after you go back, whether you are an official or not, don't talk about other people's actions and gains and losses in this battle, remember, you can save your life!"
The people who said a few words did not dare to speak, and even a little confused.
"Everyone has been fortunate these days, go back and pack up, have a good night's rest, and leave Liangshan early tomorrow morning and return to Qinzhou."
After Yang Congyi finished speaking, everyone should accept and leave, without a single superfluous word.
In the afternoon of the same day, the four gates of Liangshan were closed, and the defensive strength of the city was also reduced by half, and most of them were replaced by Liangshan Qingzhuang.
The soldiers of the Xuanwei Army and the young men of Liangshan had nothing to do for a while, and they all felt that things were unusual, but no one knew what had happened, and the corpses outside the city were not landfilled? What's next?
Inexplicably, almost everyone is waiting.
In the evening, Liangshan City and others came with an unexpected visitor, five thousand Song troops.
Without identity verification, without the consent of the Xuanwei army, they naturally could not enter the city.
When the news arrived in Yang Congyi's ears, he was a little surprised, but then he could only smile bitterly, these people are probably already waiting in Da Nanguan for a long time, as soon as Lord Wu leaves the city at noon, they should get the news soon.
The people who stayed in the city really had more use.
Yang Congyi didn't say a word, and took Su Zhong and other battalion commanders and dozens of people to the south gate together.
"Let them come forward and talk back and verify their identities." Looking at the majestic team outside the city, Yang Congyi gave orders to the guards left by Lord Wu.
A guard answered yes, and then shouted loudly outside the city: "Is it General Sun?" ”
In a moment, a man in heavy armor and straddled a horse under him stepped forward and reached the moat, escorted by several sergeants.
I only listened to the man: "In Xia Sun Qing, I was ordered to come to take over Liangshan City, and asked Yang Jian Jun to open the city gate." ”
"General Sun, can you bring an order?" Yang Congyi suddenly asked in a loud voice.
Sun Qing asked rhetorically, "What appointment?" Lord Wu didn't mention it to me. I'm here to take over Liangshan, I don't know where you want to transfer, you go to Yulin to find Lord Wu. ”
Sure enough, Yongzhou did not intend to let the Xuanwei army share the final victory.
As he expected, Yang Congyi's face remained unchanged, and he didn't ask anything more, and then said in a loud voice: "Put down the drawbridge, open the city gate, and welcome General Sun into the city." ”
The herald quickly gave the order.
After a short time, the drawbridge was lowered and the south gate opened.
Yang Congyi and others moved to the city and waited at the city gate.
"Into town!"
At the sound of an order, Sun Qing took the lead and reached the city gate through the drawbridge under the escort of several sergeants.
"General Sun, you have had a hard time." Yang Congyi clenched his fists and smiled.
Sun Qing looked at Yang Congyi and the group of low-level officers behind him, turned over and dismounted, took a few steps forward with his fists clenched, and said with a smile: "Where and where, you are lucky." ”
Although Su Zhong and the others were unhappy, they didn't dare to show it too obviously, so they clasped their fists and saluted.
Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Since General Sun is here, the defense of Liangshan City will be handed over to you, we can also take a step first and go back to rest and rest." ”
Sun Qing said with a smile: "Yang Jianjun, you have worked hard for many days, and you should rest. ”
"Goodbye!"
Yang Congyi clenched his fists and smiled, and then gave an order: "The whole army withdraws to the barracks to rest, and you are not allowed to go out after dark!" ”
"Yes!" The battalion commanders answered the order in unison.
The Xuanwei army quickly withdrew to the city, and Liangshan Qingzhuang was also disbanded and sent home.
Sun Qing's army soon entered the city and took over the defense of Liangshan.
This night was the most relaxing night since the Xuanwei Army came to Liangshan City for nearly a month, and it was also the most empty and lost night.
Everyone in the army knew that tomorrow they would leave Liangshan, where they had been fighting for a long time, withdraw to Qinzhou, and return to Dongxing or Anyuan.
But this battle is over after all, you can continue to live, and you can rest well tonight.
In the mansion, Yang Congyi, Yao Chang, Su Zhong and others gathered together to make arrangements for tomorrow's retreat.
From Liangshan to Tongmian, the road is far away and difficult to travel, dozens of people died on the march when coming, although the return journey is calm, but the mountain road is difficult and dangerous, many road sections only allow one person to pass, a little negligence, there are casualties, and the mountain poisons insects and beasts, it is not uncommon, and there is also danger.
After the baptism of the battle in Liangshan, all the soldiers of the Xuanwei Army were people who had experienced real battles, and more than 3,000 people were veterans who had really been tempered, and they still had to avoid casualties on the way back.
In addition, Liangshan City is a treasure trove for the poor Xuanwei army, more than 10,000 loads of food and countless ordnance, enough for them to expand the Xuanwei army of 5,000 people, but if you go over the mountain, the things you can take away are very limited, what to bring and what not to bring, you still have to think clearly.
The war in Guangnan is over, Qinzhou will not be a place to stay for a long time, it is estimated that the Xuanwei army will soon be transferred back to the Changguo camp, the food will be enough to eat on the road, and there will be a way to solve the food problem after going back, but the ordnance will be difficult, there is no combat mission, and the Xuanwei army will not be able to ask the imperial court for ordnance again.
In less than two quarters of an hour, everyone discussed the results and decided that in addition to carrying the necessary food to return to Dongxing, the whole army should also bring as many bows, arrows, short knives and other ordnance as possible that could not be bought, so that they could continue training after returning and maintain the soldiers' combat effectiveness and bow shooting level.
The city defense was manned, and the Xuanwei army really slept well that night.
Early the next morning, as soon as the day dawned, the Xuanwei army gathered and rectified, and a battalion and a group of troops passed through the granaries and armory, and each team had already made it clear how much grain and how much ordnance they carried, and the grain was eaten on the road, and the ordnance was handed over according to the quantity after it returned, and those with a large number were not rewarded, and those with a small number were punished.
Xuanwei Jun can't eat enough food, he doesn't have any family background, if he wants to develop, Yang Congyi and others have to think of their own way.
After receiving the supplies, the Xuanwei army went directly to the front south gate, preparing to leave Liangshan.
After reaching the south gate, they were unable to get out of the city, and they were stopped by the defenders.
Su Zhongying was in front, and after hearing that the team had been stopped, he immediately stepped forward to inspect.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the city, I heard a detainee of the Xuanwei Army arguing with the defenders: "Liangshan was fought by us, why don't we leave the city?" Hurry up and let it go, delay the march, don't blame the Xuanwei army for not giving you face! ”
I only heard the officer of the defending army reply very arrogantly: "Hehe, don't give us face? Don't look at where this is, Guangnan is the world of Lao Tzu, where did you come from, go back, don't fucking be an eyesore here! People, if you want to leave, get out of here, but everything has to be left behind, and you can't take anything away if it's not yours! ”
"Fuck you, you're fucking old! Where were you when Lao Tzu hit Liangshan, and now you jumped out and called the eighth king. Hurry up and open the door for you, otherwise you will bear the consequences! The detainees immediately fought against each other.
Xuanwei Jun was originally very unhappy that they occupied the city, and when they saw that the other party was unreasonable, they immediately went crazy.
