Li Mao deliberately pretended to be angry, and asked: "It's thousands of miles away to Beisha City, and the road is deserted and populated, can you bear this hardship?"

The crowd should say: "Sugar"

Li Mao said: "There is a good brother of mine in Beisha City, we must not harm our friends when we do things for others, if you break the city and can only plunder the wealth, but you cannot occupy it for a long time, this city will be returned to my friends in the future, can you agree?"

The people responded, "Yes." ”

Li Mao said again: "Beisha City is built near the sea, it is extremely steep, even if the city can be broken, the casualties will inevitably be heavy, are you willing to give up today's glory and fight for your lives to seize tomorrow's greater glory and wealth?"

Everyone replied in unison: "Yes." ”

Li Mao said: "Okay, start the army immediately." ”

After the town of Kikkashan, it is a reckless dense forest, thousands of miles away, most of these forests have never been visited by anyone in ancient times, slim, and the hardships of the trek are difficult to describe in words. But the animals in the woods were abundant, and although the journey was arduous, they did not suffer from hunger or thirst, and the troops lost a tenth of their trek through thousands of mountains and rivers.

When the 3,000 army came out of the dense forest and suddenly appeared outside the city of Beisha, the people in the city did not realize that a catastrophe was coming, and many of them lazily looked at the group of ragged visitors, and snorted a trace of disdain in their noses: "The Hanako team also wants to take a sip of soup." ”

This sentence translates as: a group of people named Hanako also want to take advantage of the chaos to come here to bargain.

At that time, the city was being turned upside down.

Li Mao was still a step too late after all, and when he and his southbound army were still trekking hard in the dense forest, the city of Beisha had already become a pot of porridge. The four big bosses couldn't figure it out, obviously they gave a death order to restrain their younger brothers not to cross the line and provoke, why no one listened, how could they suddenly fight, and why they were completely out of control.

Li Mao naturally wouldn't admit that he did some work to fan the flames in the back, and he said to Sang Rong, who was already out: "We have been going all the way, day and night, and it is already the fastest speed." ”

Sang Rong glanced at Li Mao and the savage-like team behind him, and had no choice but to sigh and say, "Help me recapture Beisha City, I will be half with you." Li Mao smiled and said: "I am here to do my brotherly friendship, and it is still yours to take the city, but there is a piece of land outside the city that I want to borrow for a while." ”

Sang Rong sneered: "For a while, how long is that"

Li Mao smiled: "A year and a half"

Sang Rong doesn't believe it, advertisement

"Of course, it could be ten or eight years. It depends. ”

Sang Rong said: "That's it, this time I have completely let you yin, I am not qualified to talk to you about the conditions, I will give away the city and the wharf, just please let me have a place to live in the old days, and my business You can't tax, okay, it's okay to tax, don't be too heavy, and I use your wharf, you can't charge it, okay, don't charge too much." ”

Li Mao said: "Don't be stupid, brother, I'm here to help, the city is yours, it's yours, I won't want it." After the city is broken, you set aside a piece of land for me to build a wharf, and the sovereignty belongs to you, and I only need the right to use it, and you are not allowed to charge for my use of your wharf, and you are not allowed to tax goods in and out. And vice versa, everyone is a good brother, and you can use my dock for free. ”

Sang Rong said: "It's no problem to give you a piece of land, I don't understand whether the sovereignty is sovereign or not, it's yours to give it, the gentleman is quick to say, I won't slap myself." I don't care how you toss your territory, but you can't condone the people below to run to my territory to be traitors. ”

Li Mao said: "You are in charge of your territory, and all those who commit adultery are at your disposal, but you must obtain my consent to sentence them to imprisonment or above." ”

Sang Rong said: "A word is a certainty. ”

Li Mao stretched out his hand: "A word is a certainty." ”

With Sangrong leading the way, 3,000 troops swarmed into the city, besieged on the north, west and south sides, leaving only the seaside side. The three major families of Sha Boss, Double-headed Jiao, and Tao Xiaotou were exhausted at the moment, and in the face of Li Mao's three thousand living forces, they had no power to resist at all, and they were suddenly defeated like a landslide.

Li Mao asked Sang Rong: "Is it to kill them all, or to open the net?"

Sang Rong said: "They are all people in the same way, and if you are out, you will get out, there is no need to kill them all." ”

Li Mao then ordered the three families to leave immediately, because the incident happened in a hurry, and the three families could only take their relatives and soft with them, and the slaves and family property had to be left behind.

As the victor, if you don't plunder, I'm really sorry for the pain of traveling thousands of miles, Li Mao said to Tutu Chengxuan: "There are a large number of Silla spies hidden in the city, if you don't clear it, it will be a trouble for your henchmen."

Tu Tu Chengguang lost most of his life after trekking all the way, thinking back to the horror of the march, he still had palpitations: "Is it a change of mind in the army, let them take a sip of soup, the emperor is not a hungry soldier." ”

Tutu Chengxuan is the military envoy, although it is only nominal, but Li Mao still does not dare to take it lightly, he is relieved, Li Mao has no worries. The Anton Army had three battlefield disciplines: not to kill civilians and prisoners, not to kill women, and not to plunder the gentry and common people.

These three disciplines are still in force, with a slight change in wording to read: No killing of civilians and prisoners, no women, and no looting of ordinary people's homes.

The Yu Hou team of the protectors marched into the city first, occupied the important points, and waited for the battle to control the situation.

Li Mao gave everyone a day and a night to loot, and on the second day, regardless of whether they had grabbed something or not, they had to stop.

Time is limited, even if Li Mao doesn't say that the soldiers will pick up the rich and rich, everyone knows that the poor ghost can't squeeze oil and water.

The three major families that were out of the game and some of Sangrong's industries became the first targets of everyone's looting, and the wealth of these families accounted for more than half of Beisha City, plus the vassals, actually controlled eighty percent of the wealth of Beisha City.

It is obviously a little powerless for 3,000 people to loot so much wealth in one day and one night. If you can't catch it, you won't have time to take care of it.

The city of Beisha was full of brothels and prostitutes, and in order to prevent their wealth from being robbed, they used a wide range of beauty schemes, and the girls dressed up in fancy clothes and went out to work for free, hoping to protect the lives and wealth of their families.

No one is willing to risk their head to do it, and the children of the common people are thus saved.

Beisha City itself is a den of thieves, the robbers and the robbed have a common heart, naturally there are many common languages, although the whole process is vigorous, but vicious murder and incidents rarely occur.

Beisha City spent a difficult day and night in blood and tears, the next morning, the three thousand troops who returned with a full load were assembled in a harbor beach open space outside the city, the Yu Hou team put three guillotines at the entrance, Mao Taigong held the Qinglong Yanyue knife to supervise the formation, and Tutu Chengxuan also set up a shed nearby, sat and held tea, and performed the duties of supervising the army.

The guards were highly disciplined, and the soldiers returned a quarter of an hour early. The military discipline of the slave bonding army was poor, but under the pressure of Mao Taigong's big blade, most of them did not dare to disobey the military order.

If you don't pass the point, it is to disobey the military order, and the head is inevitable, and the slave army was cut six heads before and after, although the person died, the wealth obtained could be transported back to Dongzhou by the ship of the Marquis of Yu and handed over to his wife and daughter.

This rule was set by Li Mao, and it has been implemented to the letter.

In addition to bartering with each other, many people in the city also participated, either buying or selling or redeeming, bargaining, and for a while the crowd was full of people, like a vegetable market.

Seeing this, Li Mao, who was handing over the land with Sang Rong, shook his head and said repeatedly: "A thief's nest is a thief's nest, and such a thing can be done, I really convinced them." ”

Li Mao took a fancy to a piece of land in the northeast corner of Beisha City, which was about six or seven thousand acres, including a small hill and a deep-water harbor that could shelter from the wind.

Sang Rong was a little painful, he had already been in love with this piece of land, and he had always wanted to take it down to build a new dock and his own ** castle, but he failed to do so due to the constraints of the other three.

On the one hand, he secretly called Li Mao's eyes poisonous, and on the other hand, he could only endure the pain and cut his love, and signed the contract that Li Mao stretched out.

Li Mao left Mao Dayou stationed in Beisha City to guard this piece of land, and Sang Rong was nicknamed "Sang Little Ghost", maybe he could do some sinister deeds.

Mao Da has the nickname "useless", but in fact he has a black belly and is useful, even people with personality such as Mao Taigong are entangled by him, so why not be afraid of Sang Rong in despair

Sang Rong now wanted Li Mao to leave quickly, so he did his best to mobilize the sea ships and send this gang of fierce gods away, and the people in the city who were harassed naturally supported it strongly.

The sea boat was quickly raised, after boarding, sailed southwest around the tip, along the coastline to the mouth of the Liaohe River to the mouth of the town, Hekou Town, also known as Yanluozhai, guarding the mouth of the Liaohe River, the town was originally owned by the Sha boss of Beisha City, after the Sha boss fled, the guard swept away the fine soft, so the group of dragons had no leader, when Li Mao's fleet arrived, the town was in a mess of porridge, people were determined, someone opened the door to welcome Li Mao inside, announced that the town returned to the Tang Dynasty, and accepted the jurisdiction of Li Mao's envoy.

Li Mao "invited" the three most cheerful forces in the city to board the ship and moved them to Gaozhou for resettlement, leaving Wei Xiangcheng to lead 300 troops to garrison to strengthen the city defense and stabilize the situation. Li Mao's goal is to build it into a key, connecting the rivers and seas, and guarding the key to the mouth of the Liao River, and Wei Xiangcheng is just here to make a transition.

The reason why Li Mao did not choose to take the waterway along the river at the beginning was that in addition to worrying about leaking news, he was mainly worried that he would not be able to break through the city defense of Hekou Town, which was like a nail nailed to the Liao River, guarding between the river and the sea.

The effortless removal of this nail was one of the greatest gains of the southern expedition.
