No. 608 Take Luyang City lightly

In order to ensure that Wei Yan could break through Yang'an County as soon as possible, before the two divided their troops, Fu Tong handed over all the 1,000 veterans of the Yellow Turban Army belonging to him to Wei Yan.

Before the start of this siege battle, which was also the first siege led by Fu Tong himself as the main general, Fu Tong had already gone through all the accidents and possibilities that could occur in the war that he could think of in his heart, and also prepared corresponding countermeasures in advance. Even, Fu Tong's sudden attack on Luyang City this time had already been seen through in advance by people of insight in Cao's army, which led to a failure.

However, Fu Tong and all the soldiers who participated in the battle only did not expect that the defenders in Luyang County would be so slack and the overall combat willpower would be so poor.

These 3,000 people are only the 3,000 Nanyang recruits who were recruited from Nanyang County and lent to Wei Yan by Zhang Xiu this year after following Wei Yan to attack Wuwei Village and Liyang County. Although they learned how to attack the city at night from the veterans of the Yellow Turban Army, they had not practiced it before this battle, and Fu Tong did not have time to practice it for them.

Even so, when Fu Tong sent the elite selected from these 3,000 to the city, it only took a moment for the south gate of Luyang City to be opened, but the defenders in Luyang City were so frightened that they knelt on the spot one by one, trembling.

Maybe Luyang County is too close to Xu County, but it is a little far away from Wan County, Fu Tong knew in advance that the three chief officials of Luyang County were not celebrities, but the children and in-laws of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, and the county order was named Cao Quan, anyway, it was a relative of Cao Cao.

This Cao Quan is still capable, and he did a good job in Cao Cao's shogunate, but once he was put in a foreign position, he felt that Cao Cao was alienating him in this way. Therefore, since taking office, Cao Quan has not done his job, neither cares about the defense of the county seat, nor does he handle government affairs, he handed over all the government affairs and defense affairs of Luyang County to the county Cheng and the county lieutenant to deal with them respectively, while he himself is elegant and elegant every day, drinking and having fun.

However, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant are two big straw bales, and when they make money, they are the top two, and when they deal with government affairs and military affairs, they all rely on the petty officials under them.

This directly caused the defenders in the county seat of Luyang County to be fed and clothed all day long, and the military salaries and rations would be exploited by the officials layer by layer. How can such an army guarantee their combat effectiveness and morale?

It is no wonder that as soon as the soldiers of Fu Tong's department ascended to the top of the city, in addition to the killing of a tun chief who wanted to shout loudly, the defenders on the head of Luyang City and under the city went up and down, as long as they saw the soldiers of Fu Tong's department, they immediately threw away the weapons in their hands and knelt on the ground, no one dared to resist at all, and there was no soldier willing to resist at all.

Of course, there is also the credit of Jin Jue's teaching, before the siege of the city, Fu Tong repeatedly explained to his soldiers, after climbing the city, don't just think about killing, but shout eight words to the other party: 'Throw the weapon.' Kneel down and don't kill'.

When he was in Yizhou, all the soldiers of Jin Jue's army did this, and they really received very good results.

This time was no exception.

Because the soldiers on both sides of the war were all from Jingzhou, and there was no accent interference, Fu Tong could be said to have taken Luyang City without blood this time.

At dawn the next day, Fu Tong, who had taken a nap, immediately sent three personal guards around him, together with Zhang An's three personal soldiers, to immediately set off to Luyang Mountain.

Naturally, these six people went to the mountains to try to persuade the remnants of the rebel army, the Yellow Turban Army, or the bandits who had never been evil in Jingzhou.

Immediately afterwards, in the lobby of the county office, Fu Tong learned from Liu Ye and made a temporary cameo appearance in the county order.

In front of all the defenders of Luyang City and the people who were willing to come here to hear the news, for a whole morning, after a series of interrogations, Fu Tong sentenced the two county officials and county lieutenants of Luyang County, as well as the fighting officials in Luyang County and the middle and low-level officials in the defenders, to be sentenced to 'beheading', and the confiscated family property of these people will be returned to the people or soldiers who were fished by these corrupt officials one by one in the future.

However, the disposition of the county order Cao Quan greatly exceeded the expectations of everyone present.

Fu Tong said in his verdict to Cao Quan: After Cao Quan took office, he only neglected his administration, and there was no substantive evidence to prove that he was directly responsible for Luyang County, and at the same time, he did not share the spoils with other officials in Luyang County.

Therefore, Fu Tong asked the official to beat Cao Quan's ten buttocks in court, and he actually let Cao Quan go like this.

In fact, the reason why Cao Quan was able to leave a life was not for the above reasons. The root cause is still Jin Jue's words.

Jin Jue once told Wei Yan and Fu Tong that if they ran into someone from the Cao family, there were two who could not be killed, one was Cao Cao's fourth son Cao Zhi, and the other was Cao Quan.

Jin Jue liked the very famous Lishu inscription "Cao Quan Tablet" unearthed in later generations, but at this time, he had forgotten when this Cao Quan recorded in "Cao Quan Tablet" was and what it had to do with Cao Cao.

In Jin Jue's words, it is, 'Anyway, once you meet someone named Cao Quan, just don't kill him.' ’

Of course, since Fu Tong's soldiers took this place bloodlessly, the fall of Luyang City still has to be kept secret for the time being. Therefore, although Fu Tong did not kill Cao Quan, he ordered him to be temporarily placed under house arrest in the city.

After the trial was over, Fu Tong loudly announced to all the soldiers and the people who came to hear the trial that the army would stay in Luyang City for a period of time, and during this time, he would send troops to immediately forcibly relocate all the people in Luyang City to the south.

Next, Fu Tong's news about immigration was conveyed to the people inside and outside the city in two ways.

In the first way, Fu Tong immediately ordered people to post relevant notices on the four city gates.

The content of the notice: Fu Tong bluntly said that he informed all the people of Luyang County that he was the newly appointed Taishou of Nanyang County by Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao. Therefore, he has the right to make this immigration order. From now on, he, the new Taishou of Nanyang County, will send troops to forcibly relocate all the people in and outside Luyang County to the south of Nanyang County.

As for the people in the south of Nanyang County, whether they are willing to go to Xinye County or to the south of Hanshui, they can choose for themselves.

In the second way, Fu Tong sent out all the officials in the county government who were not killed, and went door to door in the city to inform all the people in Luyang City of the news.

After notifying the people in the city, the officials had to go down to the outside of Luyang City and inform the people in the townships of the contents of the notice.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
