Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Chapter 65: (Breaking Xingyang)
As soon as He Long died, the army he led was like an ant on a hot pot, running in all directions, and his generals desperately tried to retrieve He Long's body, but they were all scattered by Jinyiwei and had to give up, under the leadership of the deputy general, the remaining troops all withdrew to the camp forty miles outside Luoyang...
Shangguan Yin Feng and Gao Chong eliminated the last resistance of the enemy, then hurriedly joined forces with Gao Chong, and rushed to Xingyang City again, and at this time in Xingyang City, it can be said that the killing is in full swing, when riding to the outer city wall, he saw blood flowing out, Shangguan Yin Feng frowned, and galloped into the urn city, at this time Deng Yu was fighting with He Ying, Jia Fu on the urn city saw Shangguan Yin Feng turn back, knew that the danger in the rear had been removed, and hurriedly ran down the urn tower: "Lord, He Ying's army is fierce, if the lord comes back an hour late, I'm afraid this urn city can't hold it..."
Shangguan Yin Feng saw that there were few soldiers standing upstairs and in this urn city, and knew that all the people were basically engaged in the battle in the inner city, nodded and patted Jia Fu's shoulder: "Jia Fu, take Xingyang, you and Deng Yu are the first to work..."
"Thank you, my lord..."
"Open the city gate, this king will personally go to meet He Ying for a while..."
'Squeak' sounded, the gate of the urn city tower opened, the scene in front of him was extremely bloody, the ground was full of soldiers' corpses, the air at this time was full of the smell of blood, extremely disgusting, thanks to Shangguan Yin Feng had seen this situation as early as in Shaxian, so now it is not strange, because there are many corpses on the ground, the horse can not get off the foot, Shangguan Yin Feng can only get off the horse and walk...
He Ying and Deng Yu in the city are fighting hotly, they just passed the thirty rounds, Deng Yu was obviously defeated by Jia Fu, and he fought and left, at this time, Shangguan Yin Feng suddenly broke into the inner city from the outer city, disrupting He Ying's military formation, He Ying had to give up the pursuit of Deng Yu when he saw this, and had to retreat into the formation under the cover of the army, and Shangguan Yin Feng looked at each other from afar...
Shangguan Yin Feng saw clearly at this time that the famous general of Zhengnan, Xingyang Hou He Ying, actually looked so majestic, with a height of more than 175 cm, he was one of the very few tall men in ancient times, and his face was delicate, he couldn't see that he was a man in his thirties in his prime, wearing red and black chain armor, plus the blood stains on the armor, it could be regarded as heroic: "He Ying, you are cornered, why don't you surrender and serve the court, why do you want to be the only one to look forward to?" ”
"Joke, what I, He Ying, is serving the imperial court, where is the other imperial court? If you become a thief, you will perish... Your Shangguan Yin Feng is also a prince, why do you want to raise troops against the emperor? He Ying's words were so vibrating that Shangguan Yin Feng didn't know how to answer for a while...
"He Ying, don't pretend to be confused, He Jing coerced the Son of Heaven and ordered the princes, the current emperor is his own nephew, the death of the first emperor is unknown, the former prince was abolished by the vain words of the ministers, how can the current emperor come to the government in person, such as today's Gongsun family, He Jing is a rebellion, why do you insist on serving him?" After listening to Shangguan Yin Feng's words, He Ying was speechless for a while, and Shangguan Yin Feng saw the situation and said: "We are waiting to follow the king of Changsha to raise troops together, but it is difficult to be appeased by Fengtian, if you don't hurry up and arrest it, you can still beg for your life..."
"General, I am weak, General He's army has been unable to enter the city for a long time, I'm afraid it has been blocked, let's fight with them now, we can't bargain at all, it's better to give up Xingyang first, go to Wen County, wait for the team to be neat, and then let's kill back..."
The deputy general's words are very reasonable, He Ying is also a last resort, this Xingyang is his fiefdom, although it is surrounded by plains, but it is also a place where soldiers must fight, if you give up, but you are also reluctant: "Xingyang is my fiefdom, if you completely abandon it, I am afraid that the people will be cold..."
The adjutant general said: "I heard that Shangguan Yin Feng is strict in governing the army, and he has not committed any crimes against the people, they will definitely not hurt the people in the slightest, if they fight to the death, we will have no way to live, if we abandon the city, we will have a chance..."
"Okay, give the order to the army, retreat step by step..."
"Don't..."The adjutant general stopped: "General, if the whole army retreats, none of us can escape, here I will resist for a while, the general can go first, and the last general will be broken..."
"No..."
"General go quickly..."After speaking, the adjutant general shouted towards Shangguan Yin Feng's army: "All the generals, cover the general's retreat, kill..."
"Kill..."
Seeing this situation, He Ying had to turn around and lead the remnants of the defeated army towards the west gate of Xingyang...
"Give me chase, next time we may not have such good luck..."Shangguan Yin Feng finished speaking, mounted his horse, stepped on the corpse, and led the army to chase towards the West Gate, leaving Jia Fu and Deng Yu to lead people to fight to the death with the remaining enemy troops...
(Xingyang City, He Ying Mansion Ya)
Shangguan Yin Feng walked into He Ying's mansion surrounded by a group of soldiers, and there were still many He Ying's family members who had not had time to evacuate inside, Huang Wei pointed to a young and beautiful woman kneeling in front and said: "Lord Qiyu, this daughter is He Ying's wife, she is He Ying's child in her hand, and behind her is He Ying's concubine and a group of subordinates..."
As the saying goes, 'the wife is good for others, and the child is good for himself', Shangguan Yin Feng is also a womanizer in the modern military camp, but it is not so obvious, in his words, it is just a small color, in the face of the enemy's wife, he didn't know why he began to think about it, but he also gave up this idea in a blink of an eye, so he ordered: "Huang Wei, protect He Ying's wife and children well, and there must be no mistakes, and send Jinyi Wei to take care of them, if they are missing a hair, this king will blame you..."
Huang Wei was stunned, and then nodded: "The last general is ordered..."
"And..."Shangguan Yin Feng looked at Jia Fu behind him and said: "Jia Fu, you go down immediately, send orders to the sergeants of the headquarters, clean up the battlefield, appease the people, heal all the enemy soldiers alive, bury all the dead, if anyone wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, military law will be engaged..."
"No..."After answering, Jia Fu left He Ying's mansion and walked outside...
"Lord, General Gao's army is not under our control, what if they plunder in the city?"
Deng Yu's words reminded Shangguan Yin Feng, so he turned around and instructed Deng Yu: "You immediately go to Gao Chong and tell him to restrain his soldiers and not to plunder..."
"No..."
"The lord..."Zhang Xiong is a half-hung rough man, he has just killed the enemy, and the blood stains on his body have not been sorted out: "There will be something unknown at the end?" ”
Shangguan Yin Feng is a smart person, what does Zhang Xiong want to ask him about his natural way: "You want to ask why I treat He Ying's family well?" ”
"The last general is dull, please make it public..."
After Shangguan Yin Feng laughed three times, he looked at He Ying's wife who had already gone away and said: "After a conversation with He Ying today, I know that he is a loyal minister, but it's a pity that his boss is He Jing, if he can be used by me, the future is unlimited..." However, since ancient times, the loyal minister must be a person who cares for his family, and his wife and children are in my hands, and I am afraid that he will run away? ”
In fact, during the ancient wars, it was not uncommon to take other people's wives and children to blackmail opponents, but this choice was shameful for those brave people at that time, Xiang Yu was like this in Xingyang hundreds of years ago, otherwise where did Lu Hou come from to mess with the government, and the other generals under Shangguan Yin Feng naturally did not like this practice, because Shangguan Yin Feng was their lord, but he was embarrassed to speak, and he just discussed it privately...
On July 29 of the first year of Hongguang, Shangguan Yin Feng and Gao Chong's allied army of 100,000 broke through Xingyang, killed more than 20,000 Xingyang defenders, captured 3,000 people, broke He Long's forbidden army of 50,000 people, killed more than 1,000 enemies, He Long was beheaded, He Ying only led no more than 10,000 people to flee to Wen County, and Shangguan Yin Feng and Gao Chong's troops together also suffered nearly 30,000 casualties, and the two sides can be considered balanced...
The next day, Gongsun Long sent people to send nearly 100 boxes of fine wine and gold and silver treasures, all of which were given to Shangguan Yin Feng and Gao Chong, and issued a document to encourage the army to move forward bravely, in order to break through Luoyang as soon as possible...
