Chapter 743: Crossing the River
When he was young, seeing that the south gate was lowered and the drawbridge was wide open, Jiang Jie said:
"Lord Hou, look, the city gate is open."
"Ordered Tian Peng to open the way into the city, and Fang Liangbu followed closely behind. After the army entered the city, they cut off the streets to control the intersection, and those who attacked the Xian army were killed. ”
"No!"
At this time, the sound of killing in the city was everywhere, and the sailors all poured into the city to encircle and suppress the soldiers and horses of the Holy Order, Tian Peng and Fang Liang quickly controlled the south gate after entering the city, and led the Baili Yan army into the city, and then saw Huang Che, Du Yang, and Fang Ke at the head of the south gate.
"General Fang's trip has been hard and hard."
"General Baili is serious, for the sake of the people everywhere, what he should do is also what he should do."
At this time, Huang Che and Du Yang stepped forward, their eyes were looking Baili Yan back and forth several times, Huang Che first said:
"You are that Baili Yan!"
Baili Yan followed the prestige, the speaker was in his early fifties, his face was full of old tendons and dark skin, his beard was flying and very individual, he was dressed as a black scarf and a navy, his body was draped with a hat, and his feet were a pair of cloth boots. At this time, Fang Ke introduced:
"General Baili, this is Huang Che, the Governor of the Navy Army."
"Oh, it turned out to be General Huang Che, look up for a long time."
Bailiyan raised her hand and saluted, and Huang Che laughed:
"Hehaha...... I have heard that Bailiyan is brave and brave in the world, and today I can see that it is indeed worthy of its reputation, and I will see that you are not a ruthless and vicious person, you will not go back on your word. ”
Bai Liyan didn't expect Huang Che to ask about this matter in person, there was a difference, so he said:
"Please rest assured that the promise made by the Xianjun army is by no means empty words, and it will not go back on its word in the future. However, General Huang Che is also requested to obey the laws of Xianguo in the future, and must not be employed again. ”
"Hehaha...... Ben Jiang knew in his heart that if it weren't for the government bullying people too much, where could Lao Tzu be a water bandit. Since General Baili said this, the general will be relieved. General Du, I haven't seen the famous General Baili yet. ”
Du Yang felt embarrassed, stepped forward and bowed deeply:
"In Xia Duyang, I saw the deputy marshal of the Xian army."
"General Du, excuse me. I persuaded you a few times before, why didn't you come down? Bai Liyan asked.
"Alas......" Du Yang sighed and said: "There are many soldiers and horses in the Holy Honor Division, and the pressure is very strong, even if I have a heart, I will not dare to do this easily, and I will ask the deputy marshal of the Xianjun to open up the net." ”
"General Du doesn't need to worry too much, but as long as he descends to me, if it is not a heinous crime, he will not care about the past suspicions. General Du was able to wake up at the last moment, which is really a great achievement, and he should be rewarded. ”
"I am ashamed to be punished, and I really dare not accept such a heavy reward."
At this time, Huang Che grabbed Du Yang's hand and said:
"Eh, Xingcheng didn't suffer a big disaster, it's a great achievement, you deserve this reward, and it's not beautiful if you refuse."
Huang will take this for granted. Bai Liyan affirmed: "General Du has meritorious service in dedicating the city, if he is not rewarded, it will show that my Xianjun has no faith, and what should be rewarded is still rewarded, and there is no less." ”
Although Huang Che is a coarse person, he is coarse and fine, Du Yang is obviously not decisive in the matter of descending the city, Baili Yan can be rewarded or not, or less rewarded, the scale is all in him, not in Huang Che.
Now Huang Che is taking this matter as an excuse, obviously for Du Yang, but in fact he is testing the measurement of Bailiyan. If it is not handled properly, Huang Che will inevitably cause trouble in the future.
At this time, recognizing Du Yang's merits is equivalent to recognizing that Huang Che also has merits in the Xingcheng incident, and the merits are added to the merits, if the Xianjun turns his face, there is no excuse to take him inside and outside.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, Baili Yan is not a person with a small belly who loves money like life, and when the money is used, it should be used, and the money spent will sooner or later participate in the circulation of market economic activities, and eventually return to Yongxing City and the treasury. I'm not afraid that you won't take the money, but I'm afraid that you will run away with the money, or bury it and not spend it, which is the biggest headache.
After appeasing Huang Che and Du Yang, the Xian army entered the city quickly, cleaned up the Shengxun Division and its remnants, and the rebels either died or surrendered, and before dusk, the whole city fell into the hands of the Xian army.
In the evening, Baili Yan set up a banquet in the Zhizhi Institute to entertain Fang Ke, Huang Che, and Du Yang until late at night. Huang Che liked the thousand-year-old Chen Ji and asked if there was still one, but Bai Liyan did not respond positively.
A jar of thousand-year-old age, tens of thousands of silver can't be bought, drink a sip less, where can it be boiled water.
After the banquet was dispersed, Bailiyan summoned the generals to discuss and arrange for Xingcheng to be garrisoned:
"From tomorrow, Fang Liang's department will stay in Xingcheng, focusing on clearing the influence of the Holy Order, pacifying the people's livelihood, and not disturbing the people.
"Understood."
"Jiang Jie, send someone to urge Gu Zhong tomorrow, so that he can speed up his journey to Xingcheng, and be sure to arrive before dusk tomorrow."
"No!"
Soon after entering the city, Baili Yan sent people to follow the city's orders Gu Zhong, Zhoukong, and the military battalion to rush to Xingcheng, just calculated, at least 20 miles should be walked down to the village, and the accompanying did not carry baggage, and the army marched for a day, and it was not a big problem to arrive in Xingcheng before dusk tomorrow.
On the second day, Huang Che woke up and came to Bailiyan's army, because the silver was given to Huang Che and Du Yang last night, Bailiyan only thought that he was here to ask about the wine again.
"General Huang is really a good drinker, he was drunk last night, and it is really rare to get up so early today."
"Hehaha...... Where, Ben will be a mountain village man, who only likes to drink and gamble on weekdays, and nothing else is in our eyes. ”
"Hehe, General Huang is bold, this commander admires, I don't know why General Huang came early in the morning?"
"That's right, although the general has joined the Xian army, but the dependents of my clan and those brothers under him are still in Jiangquan and Tingshan, and I want to take advantage of the news to go and pick up people, so as not to fall into the crime of joint sitting.
Those dogs of the Holy Orders are all ruthless, if they knew that a brother like me had joined the Xianjun, they wouldn't know how. ”
"Oh...... It turned out that it was for this matter, so please ask General Huang to wait for a day. ”
"The longer this matter is delayed, the easier it is to leak the news and delay it for a day......"
"General Huang rest assured, Ben Shuai will never break his word."
"The deputy marshal doesn't want to take a hitchhiker to Ganfu County."
"General Huang don't ask more about this matter, I'll know tomorrow."
"Okay, let's talk about it, we'll leave tomorrow, it's a long delay, I can't explain it to my brothers."
Huang Che is a native of Tingshan in Dekang County, after the waters of Tingshan to the north, is the border of Changsun Kingdom, in his early years in Tingshan to fish for a living, after the officials forced the people to rebel in the reeds of Tingshan to rob the house.
Taking advantage of the busy waterways of Tingshan, they went out day and night, plundering the merchant ships and official ships, and at most there were more than 2,000 people under his command, dozens of small boats and fast boats.
These water bandits mainly come from Tingshan and Jiangquan, and Jiangquan is an important port hub, since ancient times there is a bad habit of water bandits, Huang Che travels between the two places, many of his subordinates come from here, the family is small or in the city, or in the water village of the water, the nature is extremely scattered.
After agreeing with Huang Che, Baili Yan rushed to the Holy Orders Division non-stop to dispose of illegal property and appease people's hearts.
As a propaganda agency for the religious brainwashing of the Black Turban Army, the Holy Order Division has been engaged in dirty deeds that are either traitors and thieves from the very beginning, and they have obtained a lot of improper profits, and they have persecuted countless women from good families, and they are the most hated.
There are more than 6,000 pieces of silver and dozens of gold, excluding 5,000 of them, and there are more than 1,000 pieces of gold and silver in Zhaocheng Shengxun Division, which is an astronomical amount for the financially embarrassed rebel army's finances.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Zhong, Zhou Kong, and the military battalion rushed to Xingcheng, and Baili Yan transferred Fang Ke back to Zhaocheng, with Xiao Qu as the guard, and guarded Zhaocheng together.
The reason why it was Fang Ke, instead of Zhou Kong, guarding Zhaocheng was that Bai Liyan was worried about Zhou Kong's regeneration.
Fang Ke actually doesn't have many eyes, because of his average ability, he never left Sun Guo after the incident, watched by Xiao Qu, Ye Xin and Guan Longxiang were guarding the front line, and there was no chaos in the city.
And Zhou Kong is different, this woman is thoughtful, Zhaocheng is unconvinced, it is definitely not something that Xiao Qu can deal with, any heart can play him to death, you have to take it with you to look at it at any time, it is undoubtedly a time bomb in Zhaocheng.
Huang Che brought with him one hundred and twelve large and small ships, most of them were 2,000 stone boats, then 3,000 stone boats and 1,000 stone boats, in addition to many 500 stone boats. Previously, nearly 300 large and small ships were used to transport Ma Zheng's 50,000 people, and after Ma Zheng went ashore, half of the warships were transferred to the Chitose camp to obey orders.
Loading people, loading livestock and loading are completely different things, loading does not consider the nature of the goods, can be plugged, among which grain and grass, salt, geometric rules are easy to preserve the goods space utilization rate is the highest.
As for loading people, if it can be calculated by weight, Huang Che can carry more than 200,000 people, but people and livestock need space, and the occupancy rate is huge, at best, it can load one-eighth or ninth of the weight.
Therefore, the 12 ships on hand by Huang Che could not carry more than 50,000 people at one time, and for the sake of safety, he could only carry 20,000 people first.
After thinking about it again, Baili Yanqin led 17,000 people to board the ship, and Zhou Kong only took 3,000 people to Jiangquan to land first.
Zhoukong headquarters originally had 15,000 people, more than half of the casualties in the first battle of Zhaocheng, only more than 7,000 people remained, Bailiyan transferred 3,000 from Fang Ke's hands to make up for it, and the 3,000 men and horses of Fang Ke were on the ship, so that his soldiers did not recognize the generals, and they would not know the soldiers, so as to prevent her from cheating.
At the same time, Zhao Anling, who had never shown up, rushed to Yaoqu City, and his unexpected arrival surprised Gongliangyi and Gongliangxiu father and son.
"He's not by Bailiyan's side, what are you doing in Yaoqu?"
"Xiu'er, this Zhao Anling is also the Zhao family." Righteousness asked.
"Exactly, speaking of which, I am a generation older than you, father."
"How is that better than you?"
"In terms of strategy, and children should be between the best, and although Baili Yanwen Taowu is extremely proficient, but when it comes to strategy, it is slightly inferior. However, Bailiyan has seen a lot, and this is the only point, the child is actually not as good as Bailiyan.
In addition, the child also heard that there is another person surnamed Zongbo next to Bailiyan, who acts extremely low-key and secretive, and rarely sees people on weekdays, it is said that this person is also a Bailiyan strategist, very powerful, but he has never met him. ”
"Yes, this Guan Longxiang is an inseparable opponent from the supernatural powers, as soon as Zhao Anling came out, Ma Shentong was defeated, and now there is one more Zongbo, this Baili Yan is really not simple. I see that Zhao Anling came in person, there must be something important, otherwise it should be Guan Longxiang who is reasonable. ”
"What my father said is very true, so it is better to see what he says."
