Chapter 113: Fleeing in a panic
Zhangye City has been taken by the Xiliang army, the city is deserted, the people close their doors for fear of being killed by the Xiliang army as the Huns, and the mansions of the Hun generals in the city have been raided by the Xiliang army.
After Li Xin ordered the generals to attack, only Fang Zhi and Zhu Yuanhu were left in the palace. Li Xin walked step by step to the throne in the main hall, and then turned around and sat down.
"Haha. It's been ten years, I've been fighting with the Huns and thieves for ten years, and today I'm frustrated like a lost dog fleeing from Zhangye, God bless me Daliang. It's a pity that I can't kill Fuqu Mengxun now, and avenge the dead soldiers of my Da Liang. ”
"His Royal Highness has made such a great contribution now, even Tang Yao can only fight with the Huns and thieves for many years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally led a large army to break through Zhangye, and the prince must be very happy to learn about it." Zhu Yuanhu sighed when he saw Li Xin, and then said loudly.
"What General Zhu said is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has pacified the pseudo-Liang and made great achievements, so that His Royal Highness the Prince's prestige will be greatly enhanced." Fang Yan saluted Li Xin and said.
"This battle killed more than 20,000 Hun thieves, captured countless horses and money, and now the army is exhausted, and the whole territory of pseudo-Liang can be taken in a few days, when I Daliang will take most of the Hexi corridor, within a few years, I Daliang will have the strength to dominate Hexi, looking down on Guanzhong." Li Xin got up and walked out of the hall with his head held high.
"Your Highness, more than 10,000 Hun women have been captured in the city, what should I do?" Zhu Yuanhu followed behind Li Xin and asked in a low voice.
"Huh? Then give meritorious soldiers as slaves, and the rest of the Huns, do you know how to do it? Li Xin pondered for a moment and turned his head to stare at Zhu Yuanhu.
"The last general understands, please rest assured."
"Lord Fang, you have been in Zhangye for many years, and you are familiar with some of the big families in the city, please tell Lord Fang that I am not guilty of their past, and from now on, all the pseudo-Liang territories will act according to my Da Liang law." Li Xin walked to Fang Sundial's side and said in a deep voice.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, you have ordered no offense against the family in the city, and the old man will persuade all the families in the city to submit to Da Liang and be loyal to Da Liang from now on."
"Good. That's it. ”
After Li Yan explained to Wei Liang and them in the city, he and Han Qian led their troops to the east to kill Xi'an County, Zhangye City took a day to reach Xi'an County, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Zhenbei Army marched through the Pingchuan Valley to Xi'an County.
A day later, Li Yan led the Zhenbei army to Xi'an County, last night Li Yan had received a report from the scouts, after the Hun army escaped from Zhangye, in Xi'an County City to plunder and then fled to the east to the West County, now there are no Huns soldiers and horses in the city of Xi'an.
"Damn, these damned Hun thieves. It's crazy. Lei Ming sat on horseback, and as soon as he entered the city, he saw that the current Xi'an county was in a mess, and there were still many corpses in the city, and the blood had not yet dried up, obviously these people had just died.
"General, there are less than 3,000 people in the city now, after the Hun thieves entered the city last night, they plundered the people in the city, and took away their cattle, sheep, horses and grain, but all those who did not obey have been killed in the hands of the Hun thieves, and now the people in the city have run out of food." Han Qian rode a jujube red horse straight to Li Yan's side.
"Brother Dezhao, how much grain and grass is there in the army now?" Li Yan asked Linghu Dezhao beside him.
"General Qiyu, there are only three days of military rations in the Zhenbei Army now, and the follow-up grain and grass will be transported from Zhangye City, at least the day after tomorrow."
"Pass the order and give part of the military rations to the people in the city, these people are now my Daliang people, don't slack off." Li Yan commanded Hu Dezhao.
"General rest assured."
The Zhenbei army spent the night in Xi'an County tonight, and Li Yan had already ordered scouts to go to Xijun to inquire about the news of the Hun thieves.
The sky is getting dark, the Zhenbei army has been placed in the city, Li Yan and his party are in the original Xi'an County Guard, and now the Huns and thieves have retreated, and the huge County Guard Mansion is also cheaper for Li Yan and them.
"General, according to the scouts, the Hun thieves have now withdrawn to Xijun, there are still more than 10,000 Hun troops in the city, and the Rile City in Xijun is almost the same as Jiuquan City, if you want to attack it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take it." Lei Ming saw that everyone bowed their heads and was silent, so he got up and said.
"Hmm. Last year, when he went to the Jin Kingdom, the general passed by Xijun, when Xijun was in the hands of the bald Hutai, and even the Xiongnu army could not help him. In this case, the army stationed in Xi'an County to closely monitor the movements of the Xiongnu army. Now I can only hope that Nan Liang can annihilate the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Fuqu Mashiko in Guzang City, otherwise once Fuqu Mengxun and Fuqu Mashiko join forces, it will be unfavorable to my Daliang. ”
"What the general said is extremely true, it stands to reason that the brother sent by the last general to Guzang City to inquire about the news should also come back, and he must be able to find out the movements of the two armies in Guzang City by then." Lei Ming said in response.
"Hmm. As soon as there is news, it will be reported immediately. Now that the Hun thieves have lost their ancestral land, we must strictly guard against the counterattack of the Hun thieves, as long as I can take the whole territory of the pseudo-Liang, three years later, I will be able to dominate Hexi. Li Yan said with a serious face.
"Rest assured, general, remember." The generals in the hall stood up and said.
After the generals left, Ling Hu Dezhao stayed, stepped forward and whispered: "Brother Yan, there is news from Jiuquan City, and it is rumored in the city that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally led a large army to take Zhangye City, and almost captured Fuqu Mengxun, and now the people in Jiuquan City will spread the gods of His Royal Highness the Prince. Our Zhenbei army paid a huge price, but made a wedding dress for His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
"Why should you care about these false names? The second uncle is the governor of Pingliang, and these credits naturally belong to him. Now our task is to take Xijun and let the Hun thieves fight to the death with the bald Xianbei. ”
"Brother Yan has seen it thoroughly, but you should know what Lord Song and my father mean, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's prestige is too high, it will be very unfavorable to you in the future." Linghu Dezhao glanced outside the hall and whispered.
"Brother Dezhao, now that my Da Liang has not yet unified the three Liang, if my Da Liang has internal strife, wouldn't it give the Hun thieves and the bald Xianbei an opportunity to take advantage of? I know what you're talking about. ”
In Guzang City, Fuqu Yizi was restless in the General's Mansion, and last night he originally wanted to withdraw from Guzang to help Zhangye, but he didn't expect that the Dragon and Tiger Guards of Fuqu Mengxun Mengxun risked his life to come to the city to give an order, Zhangye City has been captured by the Xiliang Army, and Fuqu Mengxun is retreating to Xijun, and Fuqu Yizi must hold Guzang City.
"General Gu, what is the movement of the Nanliang army outside the city?"
"General Qiyu, during the day, the bald Fan Ni led the troops to scold outside the city, it is estimated that tomorrow morning the bald Xianbei will know that my Daliang Zhangye City has been taken by the Xiliang army, the last general is worried that the bald Wei Tan will be desperate to attack Guzang at any cost, and now the king has withdrawn to the West County, if the Nanliang army and the Xiliang army attack the West County, the consequences are unimaginable." General Gu said with a fist clenched at Fuqu Mashiko.
"Good. It is necessary to strictly prevent the Liang army from taking the opportunity to attack the city. ”
