Chapter 33: The Siege of Shangqiu
Li Guo instructed a subordinate general to take away the materials they had seized, and the people who came did not count them carefully, and the twenty-three cars directly pulled away twenty cars, leaving the second brother with a fraction.
The official army was defeated in Suishui, Liu Liangzuo led the army to flee, Li Guo did not stop in Suishui, he wanted to take advantage of the situation to capture Shangqiu, the army quickly crossed the river and looked south.
At this time, the second brother walked in front of a group of captives, then jumped into the vehicle, stood on a high place and glanced at nearly a thousand captives, and said loudly: "I don't care who you used to be, from now on, you are all my Gao Yihuan's deployment." The general is about to be promoted to Lao Tzu to be the captain, you follow me, I won't guarantee you anything else, but there is one thing, as long as I Gao Yihuan has a dry mouthful, I will not let you drink thin food. ”
Most of the captives present were homeless people who were coerced by Xiao Yuan's camp, and they just ate with each other, just like anyone else.
After listening to Gao Yihuan's words, they were not excited, and they didn't have any other reactions, after all, Gao Yihuan was not the first person to say this to them, and their expressions were still very wooden.
Some of the leaders in the crowd were a little unhappy, but these people were basically beaten by Zhao Zhuzi and others, and they didn't dare to stand up and say anything.
In addition, there are only a few officers and soldiers left, and they have no choice now, so they can only save their lives first.
The second brother didn't think to use a few words to persuade these people to follow him, especially a few officials and soldiers, as well as those leaders, others mixed quite well before, why follow you?
For these people, it is definitely not enough to just give them food, but the second brother has not yet implemented his own captain, so it is naturally impossible to promise others any future.
Gao Yihuan paused, and his face suddenly became fierce, "Now that you have become my subordinates, then I will say ugly things in front." If any of you eat my food and want to escape, then don't blame me for being ruthless and taking your lives. ”
Since he can't give them Tian now, and he can't give them any hope, then the second brother of the high school will simply be ruthless first, directly oppress them, and cut them directly if he doesn't accept them.
At present, only by using this method can he rapidly expand his strength, and when his strength rises, he can first expand his territory and give other benefits, and he can slowly buy people's hearts and let the soldiers really return to their hearts.
After finishing speaking, the second brother jumped out of the car and beckoned a few old brothers over.
Wu Shizhao looked at a figure, but was a little worried, "Du Wei, there are so many people, how can we get it?" ”
The person who added it before, the second brother has not digested it, and now it has expanded tenfold, which really gives him a headache.
Gao Yihuan was silent for a while, and then ordered: "Yicheng, you go and let people make food, give them a full meal first, and stabilize people's hearts."
Among these people, the vast majority of them are just for a bite to eat, Gao Yihuan wants to appease this part of the people first, then there will be no big problems in the whole team.
After saying that, Gao Yihuan said to Wu Shizhao: "You pick out those thorns, separate them from the others, and then arrange twenty brothers, each with a team of people, and wait for us to lay down Shangqiu, and then come to reorganize it carefully."
Buying most of the ordinary people with a full meal, so that they don't make trouble, and then controlling the thorns, isolating them, and preventing them from inciting crowds to riot, the second brother can only take this method in a short time.
Wu Shizhao nodded, now it can only be like this, there are more than a hundred people, among which there are only more than fifty old brothers, and it is indeed not an easy thing to control a thousand or so people at once.
Of the original four outposts, Gao Yihuan only left the personnel of two outposts unchanged and maintained a certain combat strength, while the other two outposts were disbanded, and even the people of the logistics team were sent to watch the prisoners, and after the battle was over, they were reorganized.
After the discussion was settled, everyone went their separate ways, and Gao Yihuan went to examine the wounds of the wounded by example to prevent them from becoming infected.
At present, there is no Lang Zhong in the second brother's team, and the others don't know much about this, so the second brother usually comes to check it out, not only for the wounded to recover quickly, but also to enhance the relationship with them.
Before, he was busy training, and the second brother didn't have the time and energy to cultivate talents in this area, but now that the team is expanding and there are many wounded, he really can't cope with it.
While inspecting the wounds of the wounded, the second brother thought that when he settled down, he had to catch a few Lang Zhong.
After he checked it, the rough detachment here had been completed, and it didn't take long for Gao Yicheng to prepare the meal.
On the other side, Zhao Daxian cleaned up the corpses on the mountain, most of them were people, and the second brother couldn't even name them, so he asked the same group of people who had come over to inquire, and he only got some nicknames.
The people who came in were from different places, and they had only been with each other for a few days, and before they could get acquainted with each other, they were already dead.
The second brother made people identify themselves, and most of them only knew some nicknames such as "sunspot and thin man", so he didn't know how to erect the monument.
This made the second brother feel a little uncomfortable, because he was too negligent, but now he can only mark an area and bury it on the spot.
He personally led people to dig a few pits, put the corpses into the pits with his own hands, and began to fill in the soil and bury them with a group of old brothers, and then found a wooden board to insert it as a monument, and put a few cakes to worship.
This kind of physical work is said to be done by the captives, but the second brother did not call them, which made the prisoners who were gnawing on the cake on the side feel strange in their hearts.
In this era, human life is as cheap as a dog, and there are thousands of people who die on the battlefield, and many dead people are so directly violent in the wilderness, let wild dogs gnaw on them, and no one cleans them up, and this Du Lieutenant surnamed Gao actually buried and erected a monument in person, maybe it's not bad to follow him......
After burying the body and eating, the second brother Gao crossed the river with his men and horses to chase Li Guo's army.
The second brother led the two sentinels in front, and a thousand people walked slowly, until the city of Shangqiu, and they never met the official army again.
Liu Liangzuo saw that the Chuang army was strong, ransacked Yucheng and Xiayi counties, fled into Nanzhi in a hurry, and lost Guide to the Chuang army.
When the second brother arrived at Shangqiu, the city was full of tents for the army, and Shangqiu was already in Li Guo's pocket.
At this time, seeing the thieves besieging the city, the people of Shangqiu couldn't help but panic, and the rich gentry in the city were even more restless, and they took out money and food one after another, and organized people to defend the city, but the officials and soldiers all ran away, and they actually had no hope in their hearts.
Shangqiu City, in the backyard of the government, Liang Yizhang, who was embarrassed, hurriedly rushed into the house, and a woman inside hurriedly got up to greet her.
"How's the husband doing?" The woman was Liang Yizhang's wife, Zhang, and when she saw Liang Yizhang's appearance, she couldn't help but exclaim, and hurriedly called someone to pour water for Liang Yizhang.
Liang Yizhang waved his hand, sat in the center in a trance, and said to Zhang's after half a sound: "The thieves surrounded Shangqiu, I am too guarded, and I should die if I lose my land, so you should be ready~"
Hearing the words left and right, they all hid their faces and wept, and Zhang's eyes instantly blurred......
