Chapter 111: A God-given Opportunity
"Pengcheng Taishou - Chen Qun, pay homage to the general!" Holding the official seal in his hand, single clothes and bare feet, Chen Qun led his officials, large and small, in accordance with the ancient etiquette of surrender, respectfully bowed down at the gate of the city, in order to show obedience to the conqueror!
This is not surprising, smart people can always make the right choice, when he climbed the city tower and saw the Xuanjia iron cavalry outside, he immediately understood a truth, such a strong soldier is not something he can contend with, surrender has become the only choice, as for whether the other party is Liu Bei's man or not, it doesn't matter anymore!
"You are Chen Qun-Chen Wenchang?" Xiao Yi's heart moved, and he began to carefully look at the people in front of the horse, thirty-five or sixteen years old, not tall, fair complexion, thin eyebrows and long eyes, high nose bridge, wide mouth and long hair, but he had a good appearance, especially the strong bookish atmosphere, which made people admire!
Xiao Yi is not proficient in history, but when he was in school, he played the game "Three Kingdoms" for a few days, Chen Qun, that is a famous internal affairs talent on the Wei side, the best at governing the people, in terms of high IQ, among many strategists, he can enter the top five positions!
"It's Xia Guan, could it be that the general has heard of the micro name in Xia?" At the same time as answering, Chen Qun was also peeking at the black-faced general in front of him, and he was now very sure in his heart that this was definitely not Liu Bei's man!
First of all, Liu Bei's subordinates did not have such elite cavalry who 'invaded like fire and did not move like a mountain', otherwise he would have returned to Xuzhou a long time ago, instead of being coerced by others to Xuchang and obediently being a duke!
Secondly, as everyone knows, the most powerful under Liu Bei are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two generals, and the one in front of him does not use the Qinglong Yanyue Knife or the Zhangba Snake Spear, but carries a 'phoenix wing gilt boring' with the thickness of an arm, and wears a cold iron armor with a claw pattern, and a Chiyou ghost helmet on his head......
"Mr. Wenchang's reputation is far and wide, no one in the world knows it, and no one knows it!" Xiao Yi jumped off the horse, clasped his hands, and looked at Chen Qun's appearance of being single-clothed and barefoot, and hurriedly asked someone to take the special cowhide warm boots for the army, and took off the big coat on his body, and draped it on the other party, treated each other with ......, and carried it, and the other degraded officers also stood up, looking for robes and boots to put on, and they were grateful to Dade!
"What's wrong with our Metropolitan Governor, so polite to a demoted official?"
"Yes, I gave a big hat and a pair of boots, this gift is too heavy, right?"
The hearts of the generals and colonels of the Xuanjia Army have been drawn with question marks, their governors, have always been cold and arrogant, their noses are higher than their heads, and there are few people in the world who can be seen by him, how can they treat a spineless demote so kindly today, I don't understand, I really don't understand?
Chen Qun didn't understand, but he was very grateful in his heart, this is not as simple as a piece of clothing, a pair of boots, in the eyes of the ancients, clothes and diet, are given by God to people for health use, it is a very precious thing, give their clothes to others, this is called 'pushing clothes to relieve food', non-abnormal people, can not be so.
"Death to a confidant!" Although Chen Qun has been an official for a long time, whether it is Tao Qian, Lu Bu, or even Liu Bei, who is known for his benevolence, has never treated him so politely, and then thinking of the identity of the other party, the weight of this big piece is too heavy!
"Please enter the city to rest, the lower officials have already prepared a reception banquet, and let people kill pigs and sheep, prepare wine syrup, and reward the hard-working soldiers!" Chen Qun is worthy of being a first-class internal affairs talent, and he has already arranged things properly!
"Okay, General Ben and Mr. Buncho will enter the city together!" Xiao Yi smiled and grabbed Chen Qun's hand, but he didn't move at all, it is one thing to treat him well, and it is another thing to trust, the other party is newly surrendered, and some necessary precautions are still needed, so as not to capsize in the small river ditch!
With a wave of his hand, the Xuanjia Army under his command rushed into the city, quickly occupied the city gate, Taishou Mansion, military camps and other strategic places, and waited for the middle officer-Xiaobin to run back and nod to indicate that there was no danger, Xiao Yi entered the city side by side with Chen Qun with a smile, and it seemed that the other party surrendered sincerely.
"What a powerful scheming, it is exactly the same as the legend, fierce as a wolf, brave as a tiger, and cunning as a fox!" As Chen Qun walked, he was secretly muttering in his heart, just now he took a turn in front of the ghost gate, if there was the slightest accident in the city, the person next to him would immediately take his own life, and the big hand covered with thick calluses like iron tongs was proof!
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The reception banquet was very rich, it could be seen that it had taken a lot of thought, Chen Qun also understood the reason, he first ate a little bit of every food, and drank a glass of wine, and then filled the wine glass again, and raised his hands high to salute, "The lower official uses this thin wine, I wish the governor of the capital this time to conquer Xuzhou, a victory, and success!" ”
"Oh, you know who I am?" After a glass of wine, Xiao Yi's face showed a playful smile, he was really a smart person!
"Hehe, although the lower officials have never seen the tiger power of the Grand Governor, they have heard that the phoenix wings gilt boring is the unique blade of the 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang', there is no other thing in the world, and there is such a murderous cavalry, except for the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, who else can there be?"
"Mr. Wen Chang is really a smart person, and being a little Taishou in Pengcheng is really condescending!"
"The officials are not talented, they are willing to serve the governor of the capital and share the worries of the court!"
One throws out high-ranking officials, the other is willing to be loyal, and the two smart people hit it off!
"Okay, how many garrisons are there in Pengcheng, how much grain and grass are there, and besides, has the news of the arrival of the Xuanjia Army leaked here?" Xiao Yat asked three questions in a row, and at the same time, a bold plan was gradually taking shape in his heart!
"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, there are only 1,000 county soldiers in Pengcheng, all of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled, and have no combat effectiveness, the people here are rich, and the grain and grass are very abundant, in addition to their own use, they also have to supply the garrison of Xiaoguan, as for the news, the Xuanjia army was as fast as wind and fire when they besieged the city, and the lower officials had not had time to send a messenger for help!"
"How come there are only a thousand people, and they are all weak soldiers?" Xiao Yi was very puzzled, the huge Pengcheng is a place with plenty of money and food, it stands to reason that there should be heavy guards, he brought people over, he wanted to bluff, but he didn't expect the defenders to open the door and surrender directly, it was because of the weirdness everywhere that he was extra cautious.
"It's because this is Pengcheng that there are few soldiers!" Chen Qun smiled bitterly, if there is an elite army to defend the city, it doesn't take too many, three thousand people are enough, and he won't go to the city gate barefoot to ask for surrender, but unfortunately, no?
"Pengcheng, that's Xiang Yu's hometown, the old capital of Western Chu!"
It turned out that when Chu and Han fought, Pengcheng was the lair of the 'overlord' Xiang Yu, and it was also the capital of the Chu State, where the people were fierce and the place was rich, and it was a first-class feng shui treasure land, in order to get it, Xiang Yu also forced away the Chu Yi Emperor - Xiong Xin, and killed him next to the 'poor spring'~~
Later, Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu, but the fear of this overlord in his heart did not disappear, and the monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty unanimously believed that Pengcheng had a royal spirit, for fear that there would be another Chu overlord who ruled the world here, and another invincible Jiangdong army, so many restrictions were made in the decree!
First of all, the number of garrisons in Pengcheng can never exceed 1,000 people, and the city walls must not be higher than three zhang!
Secondly, the people of Pengcheng will never be allowed to practice martial arts, join the army, and lead troops!
Finally, you must not craft or stock up on any blades, not even a cluster of arrows!
As soon as the three decrees came out, it was equivalent to tying Peng Cheng with three ropes, which could not be moved, and one bundle was four hundred pairs of years......
The Han Dynasty inherited the twenty-four emperors, there are Ming monarchs, and there are faint monarchs, but no matter who is the emperor, the three rules of the ancestors have not been forgotten, so it has caused the current situation in Pengcheng, big but not strong, rich but no soldiers, the people don't talk about fighting and killing, there is not even a knife at home, usually they are doing business and farming for a living, no matter who comes to conquest, they will always go out of the city and surrender!
"I see, the old capital of Western Chu, which was originally a place where warriors came out, fell to such a point, it's a pity, rest assured, after Xuzhou is pacified, the governor of Bendu will play the prime minister, lift the three prohibitions, and return the blood and courage of the people of Pengcheng!" Xiao Yi doesn't care about any royal spirit, and he hates this kind of stupid thing of self-castration in spirit the most, if the Han people want to survive well and keep the land left by their ancestors, they must be martial and warlike!
"In this way, on behalf of the people of Pengcheng, the lower officials have thanked the governor for his kindness in rebuilding, and in the future, the soldiers and horses will be trained, and they are willing to listen to the use under the tent, and go to the soup and fire, and do not give up!"
Chen Qun paid a big salute with an excited face, he believed that once the blood and courage that had been suppressed for 400 years broke out, there would be an elite soldier who would look down on the world, just like the 8,000 soldiers back then!
After being full of wine and food, Xiao Yi first ordered his subordinates to guard the city gate to prevent leakage of news, and then asked Chen Qunxiu to send a letter to Xuzhou, saying that a large number of enemy traces had been found around Pengcheng and could not resist it, so he asked Lu Bu to personally lead the troops to rescue!
"The Metropolitan Governor is going to catch a 'tiger dove' to come, and then besiege the city to send reinforcements and annihilate them in one fell swoop?"
"That's right, the governor of Pontus is going to fish Lu Bu into the city, and then give him a door to beat the dog, as long as this person is captured, Xuzhou will be self-defeating!" Touching his nose, Xiao Yi's eyes were shining, this is a godsend!
