Chapter 154: Earning the City
"Sir, then Han Xuan will really fall for the scheme?" Late at night, outside Linxiang City, Liu Sandao rubbed his hands, looked at Liu Yi and asked.
Although it has already entered spring, the cold wind in this night is still unpleasant, even if he has been in the south for more than two years, Liu Yi still can't get used to it.
"Who knows." Liu Yi tightened the robe on his body and said, "There are many of us, wait for three days, and if Han Xuan doesn't move in three days, give up." ”
Anyway, it is impossible to withdraw the army, it is best to earn Han Xuan, if you can't earn it, then honestly wait for Liu Feng to come to meet with him after sweeping the five cities, and then join forces in one place, build some siege equipment, with Wei Yan, Liu Feng, Guan Ping These military talents, Linxiang City is not a strong city, and it can't be captured if you don't believe it.
Liu Sandao: "......"
"Sir, it's freezing this day, so we've been waiting for three days?"
"How can you do everything as you like in a war, and the enemy is not a fool, so no matter how stupid Han Xuan is, this kind of thing must be considered, right?" Liu Yi said: "According to common sense, the main general is killed, the generals in the army have different opinions, and they are not subordinate to each other, so they will definitely not withdraw their troops as soon as possible, but if it is three days, it is enough for the imperial uncle to send another person to preside over the overall situation, if Han Xuan is still unwilling to send troops in three days, then it will be no fun, after all, it is ......."
"Crunch~"
The sound of the city gate opening in the distance was quite clear in the dark night, even if it was far away, and it also interrupted Liu Yi's words.
"Sir, this ......" Liu Sandao looked at Liu Yi, didn't he say that he wanted to consider it? That's too fast, isn't it?
"Hopelessly stupid." Liu Yi looked at the Changsha soldiers who came out a little speechlessly, and sighed in his heart: If Cao Cao and Sun Quan were so easy to deceive, how good it would be.
"Sir, when are we going to do it?" Looking at the Changsha defenders who quickly disappeared into the night, Liu Sandao was eager to try.
"When they arrive at our army camp, we will sleep in the city tonight!" Liu Yi silently stood up from the ground and moved his body, of course, not to charge into battle in person, but just to be more elegant when he entered the city later, just like Zhuge Liang.
"I'm going to tell my brothers to prepare!" Liu Sandao nodded, left Liu Yi's side, and went to wake up the dozing soldiers one by one.
Liu Yijun's camp, several generals approached quietly with men and horses, seeing that there was not even a barrier in front of the barracks, they were not suspicious, and after opening the gate easily, they shouted for the leading general: "Kill!" ”
Six hundred Changsha soldiers shouted slogans and rushed into the camp, the leader of the general took the lead, rushed to a team of soldiers and slashed with a knife, but there was no scene of flesh and blood flying down, but the knife cut in and brought out a pile of grass clippings.
What kind of soldier is that, it's clearly a straw man in armor.
"Not good!" The face of the military general led by him changed, and he shouted: "Withdraw quickly, in the middle of the plan!" ”
"Woo~"
In the sky, there was a sharp scream, with the breath of death falling from the sky, many Changsha soldiers didn't even have time to react, they were shot to the ground by the cluster of arrows falling from the sky, and those who were not dead let out a terrible wail, but what was alive was the road rushing to and fro, wanting to withdraw from the camp.
It's just that when you come, it's not so easy to go, before you rush to Yuanmen, you see clusters of torches being lit outside Yuanmen, a large number of Han troops are blocked outside Yuanmen, and the cold arrows are pointing to this side, so that the remaining Changsha soldiers are like falling into an ice cellar.
"Go over there!" The generals led by them glanced at each other, and immediately turned their horses' heads, wanting to break through from other directions, but when they turned their heads, they were shocked to find that the other three sides, I don't know when there was a fire, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the wind direction was the north wind, and the fire was blowing to this side by the wind.
Wall!
Several generals looked desperately at the fire that was rapidly spreading to this side under the wind, rushing to death, retreating or death, standing still or dying.
Just when a group of Changsha soldiers were in despair, in front of the Han army, a general jumped out of his horse, looked at these Changsha soldiers and said loudly: "I am Guan Ping, the captain of the Fenwu School under the command of Uncle Huang, Changsha soldiers, discard weapons, those who surrender out of the camp will not be killed!" ”
Several Changsha generals were still hesitating when they heard this, but those soldiers didn't care about what the general would order at the moment, at this time, it was naturally vital to live, and even if someone dropped their weapons, they ran out without saying a word.
Someone raised his bow and arrow, but was stopped by others, and at this time, surrender seemed to be the only chance to live.
With an example, the rest of the people naturally had no scruples in their hearts, and they put down their weapons one after another and walked towards the outside of the camp, even those Changsha generals finally sighed helplessly, dropped their weapons and pulled their horses to run outside the camp, and if they didn't run, they would be burned to death.
In every era, there is no shortage of righteous people who are willing to put life and death aside for the sake of loyalty and the belief in their hearts, but obviously, these people are not included.
More than 400 soldiers who originally came to sneak attack the camp were now Guan Ping's nest, for Liu Yi, Guan Ping is now admired by the five bodies to the ground, leaving a school to escort these soldiers, Guan Ping took the rest of the men and horses straight to Linxiang, hoping to help Liu Yi.
When Guan Ping arrived in Linxiang, the battle here was also nearing the end, for the sudden sneak attack, the Linxiang defenders had no defense at all, plus the city was already lacking in troops, and now half of the men and horses were sent, and the rest of the men and horses had to rest in shifts, and there were fewer people defending the city.
Not long after Han Xuan entered the bed, he was broken into his home by the surging soldiers and was directly captured.
"Sir!" Guan Ping quickly found Liu Yi, who was counting his household registration in the Taishou Office, and bowed down and said, "All the people and horses who attacked the camp have been captured. ”
"What are the casualties of our soldiers?" Liu Yi asked without raising his head.
"No casualties!" Guan Ping said with a smile, this kind of battle, it is strange that there can be casualties.
"You came just in time, and now there is some chaos in the city, take your men and horses to patrol the city, pass on my military orders, and if someone in the city takes the opportunity to make trouble, kill them; If any of the lieutenant officers and soldiers of our army take the opportunity to rob the people of their property, they shall be killed; Anyone in the army who harasses, persecutes, or rapes the people will be killed! Liu Yi looked down at the file, three killing words, but with a deterrence that Guan Ping had never seen on weekdays.
"Whoa!" Guan Ping hurriedly saluted solemnly and took the order.
Liu Yi counted Changsha's household registration overnight, although the four counties of Jingnan are remote, but in this troubled world, population is capital, people-oriented, probably this is the truth.
The sound of swords and soldiers in the city did not stop all night, Guan Ping led his men and horses around the city to shout Liu Yi's temporary three killing orders, and at the same time found that someone violated the order, he was immediately killed, and Liu Yi has been dealing with Liu Yi for a few months, Guan Ping is the first time to see Liu Yi's cold side, and because of this, he does not dare to disobey Liu Yi's order in the slightest.
At dawn, the sporadic fighting in the city was basically inaudible, and the troops came back to give orders, but Liu Sandao was nowhere to be seen.
After Liu Yi solemnly sent someone to take care of the household registration, he swept over the generals and frowned: "What about the three knives?" ”
"Mr. Hui, General Liu is besieging a mansion, but he failed to capture it overnight, and now he is still leading people to besiege it." A general bowed.
"Oh?" Liu Yi was interested: "There are still people who resist? ”
Guan Ping stepped forward and said, "It's the veteran who will be let go at the end of the day before yesterday." ”
It turned out to be him.
Liu Yi nodded, and beckoned a general: "You immediately send someone to inform Uncle Huang that the war in Changsha is over, please send someone to take over as soon as possible, Tanzhi, you accompany me to meet this old general!" ”
"Whoa!" After Guan Ping and the general bowed down in unison to receive the order, Guan Ping accompanied Liu Yi to the direction of Liu Sandao.
……
Huang Zhong's house is not big, but it is very strong, when Liu Yi brought Guan Ping over, Liu Sandao was ordering people to climb the ladder and rush up, but the soldiers just climbed to the wall, and they were shot by the people in the courtyard with bows and arrows.
"Sir, wait a minute, and you will be able to enter the hospital soon." Liu Sandao's face was a little dry when he saw Liu Yi coming, after all, the entire city was captured, but he couldn't capture a mansion in one night, which made him feel very faceless, he was originally ready to perform well, and he could be a general in the future, but it was all ruined.
"No need, order the soldiers to withdraw." Liu Yi waved his hand, looked at at least dozens of corpses around him, sighed leisurely, and said to a junior colonel who followed him: "Go and let someone bring that Han Xuan." ”
"Whoa!"
Han Xuan was captured alive, and now he is being imprisoned in Linxiang Prison, and someone has to mention it.
Liu Yi said to the courtyard wall: "Under the command of Uncle Xiahuang, the craftsman is Liu Yi, but I don't know that the courtyard is General Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng?" ”
After waiting for a long time, no one spoke, Liu Yi continued: "Cao's army has been defeated, Changsha has been captured by our army, General Hansheng has been fully loyal, my lord Liu Bei, is a relative of the Han family, the name of benevolence and righteousness is all over the world, the general is talented, but not valued by Cao thief, my lord loves talent, and also needs the help of brave warriors such as the general, if the general does not give up, Liu Yi is willing to introduce the emperor's uncle for the general." ”
An old sigh came from the courtyard: "Zhonglang will have good intentions, old and decrepit, but he is loyal and old, and he does not want to enter the official career again, Zhonglang will invite him back." ”
Liu Yi shook his head and smiled: "Although it is hostile, but Cao Thief is a poet and Yi, but he is quite admired, and he has written an article about the longevity of the turtle, which has a sentence that says: Lao Ji is determined to be thousands of miles, and the martyr is full of strength in his twilight years!" Yi Shen thinks so, although the general is old, Yi believes that as long as the ambition in his chest is still there, why be bound by age? Jiang Taigong is over eighty years old, and he can still assist King Wu to achieve an immortal foundation, how old is the general, how can he talk about old age? ”
"Ha, the general is very eloquent, but Han Xuan and I have the grace of acquaintance, if Zhonglang General is willing to release him, Zhong will be willing to submit!" Huang Zhong sneered.
"What's so difficult about this, Yi can not only promise the general to release him, but also guarantee that as long as he meets Liu Yi in the future, he can spare him three times without dying!" Liu Yi laughed loudly when he heard this, it is a pity for an enemy of this level to die or surrender, it should be placed in the enemy camp and drag the enemy back, Liu Yi is still worried that there is no excuse.
