Section 704 Assault on Isfahan (3)

He arranged for clever slaves to lead the way for his troops, and after taking them to attack the city lord's mansion, barracks, yamen, and warehouses in the city, he only felt that the burden of a thousand catties was lifted from his body. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Success is no fluke!

Over the years, he often entered and exited from the east gate of the city, led armed guards, and established a good relationship with the soldiers at the city gate, so that they were accustomed to it.

His slave soldiers, who had spent a great deal of effort in training, had at least paid two or three times as much for food as the other slaves... So he ate well and was very strong.

Zhang Liangcai learned the method of military training, but at that time, he was swallowing dates, and he didn't practice just talking.

When he arrived in Isfahan, he was forced to drive ducks to the shelves, and trained slaves in the courtyards outside the city, training them to the point that they could fight and enforce the ban, how much effort did it cost him!

A thousand days of military training, used for a while, finally succeeded.

……

The entry of the Tang army into the city means that the fall of Isfahan is three fingers to grasp the snails----- nine out of ten!

In ancient times, the awareness of street fighting was very poor, and when foreign enemies entered the city, the defenders in the city rarely had a chance to turn the tables, let alone Isfahan, who had not been mobilized and prepared.

There were almost no major battles, and resistance broke out in some places, but the few large food soldiers fought on their own, without unified command and foreign aid, and defeat was inevitable.

The city lord's mansion was closed, and he wanted to resist stubbornly, but he became a laughing stock.

They gathered at the front door, and Zhou Jun entered through the back door, it turned out that the front door was majestic, but for the convenience of doing things, there was a back door.

The benefits of sufficient intelligence are fully reflected, and the Zhou army appeared in the mansion like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and the city lord could only be captured.

For the high-ranking people who surrendered, the Zhou army did not do anything too much, did not scold or fight, and also sent two slaves from the palace to serve the city lord, and the female dependents were also gathered together, and there were even two female soldiers with a team of male soldiers responsible for protecting them!

The things in the house, Zhou Jun allowed them to carry the most valuable soft goods, and announced that they had the right to keep their personal private property.

Those who surrender do not kill, and those who do not surrender ashes.

It is an established policy of the Zhou army, it is to surrender, and do not humiliate them, give a slap to the disobedient, and reward the obedient with sugar.

The soldiers have all learned Wei Xi's teaching: before you go to war with the enemy, your reputation has spread among them!

Looking at Wei Xi's conquest, of course, there were a large number of battles with the enemy's hard bridges and hard horses, and there were also many soldiers who surrendered without a fight.

He has a very good reputation, although he kills like hemp, but he treats friends and enemies according to the rules, and does not kill indiscriminately.

It is a blessing for both sides to have a general like a general in a troubled world!

Therefore, the generals returned to their hearts, and the enemy had a promise from him, and they would be at ease!

When the lord of the city was needed to persuade a resisting barracks in the city, he was happy to do so.

Before arriving at the camp, he shouted that he was the lord of the city, he had surrendered, everyone had surrendered, and the Zhou army would not be killed.

And those soldiers will see that the city lords have surrendered, and who will they sacrifice to? I couldn't die in vain, so I put down my weapon.

The rebels were pacified, and the soldiers were excited!

Isfahan is not a small city, but it has a lot to offer.

Spy Zhang Liangcai has been deeply involved in the city for five years, and has become a geographical ghost, and he knows exactly where the wealth in the city is.

The city lord's mansion, the official warehouse, the home of large and medium-sized merchants, and the warehouse, all of which were clearly marked on the map he sent.

According to the map, Zhou Jun rushed forward to seal the warehouse and seize the property, and looted on a large scale.

A lot of people cried, we are the army, not philanthropists.

The important town on the Silk Road, decades of recuperation, no baptism of fire, no evacuation, almost all the wealth is in the city, which is cheap for the Zhou army.

Yellow gold, white glittering silver, stinking copper coins (isn't it copper smell), and boxes of sparkling gems!

Ruby, sapphire, fire diamonds, jade, and a large number of emeralds, lapis lazuli, spinel, tourmaline, garnet, and many more from Afghanistan.

Then there are silks, teas, pearls, agate, coral, carpets, etc., and countless works of art.

"It's worth about 10 million yuan!" Jiang Shi was overjoyed.

Wei Xi is a very generous person, and everyone has a lot of money.

In addition to money, he also received a large amount of livestock and food, as well as the population that Wei Xi valued the most.

Get Isfahan and surrender his army, Wei Xi immediately began to recruit troops!

Recruit their strong men, then pack up with their families, and return the same way, retreating to the rear.

Then there were the high-ranking and high-ranking officials of the city, the nobles, the merchants who had been robbed, the craftsmen with their skills, etc., and they were also taken away with their families, so that they would not die in vain when the war resumed in the future.

Among the migrants, many people were robbed of their family property, which was a factor of instability, and the Zhou army was merciful and did not kill them, but it was impossible to let them go, and when it came to the territory controlled by the Zhou army, they could not afford to make waves.

"You resent us, we understand, but you have to thank you for your cleverness for not resisting and giving us no reason; I want to thank the general Ze for being kind and not letting us kill indiscriminately, to be honest, we all think he is too good!

Forget all the unpleasantness, have a life, and start over! The officer said to the guys with sad faces.

The Zhou army was vigorous and resolute, its vigor was vigorous, and it was almost the next day after the capture of the city, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the big cannibals, the Zhou army divided its troops to attack the Quartet City, and won a very large harvest!

Those cities did not enter a state of war, caught off guard, even if the city gate was closed, it was useless, the Zhou army ate all over the sky with a trick, and threw the earth under the city before dawn, and the infantry went into battle to break the city immediately!

Assemble and transport the goods and people you get and escort them by the cavalry, and you will get a flash flash when you get the benefits!

In addition to supplying the livestock and grain in the city, Wei Xi ordered to open a warehouse to release grain, and distribute the surplus to the poor people in the city.

There is something to take, something to give, Wei Xi is robbing the rich and helping the poor.

The arrival of our army is conquest, and if we don't get benefits, what are we going to do?

Therefore, we must ask for the property of those rich people, and we must also do it if we offend them.

But what have we robbed of the poor who are in rags and have no money to spare!

The labor-management is a high-ranking official, a big slave owner, and a rich man, and he can't afford to rob them and lose this person.

Wouldn't it be good to give them something from your fingers, which doesn't cost much, but makes them happy!

This is also a strategy of Wei Xi's westward expedition to buy the hearts of the general public.

On the day when the grain was opened, the city was as lively as a festival, and poor people from all over the city and countryside flocked to each other, holding all kinds of containers, and each of them could share 100 catties of wheat for adults, 50 catties for boys, and women were not counted!

Be happy, after the Zhou army leaves the country, they will have to cry, but they are afraid that the nobles who recaptured the city will snatch the food back.

That's good, they will hate the nobility, and we have easily won the hearts of the people!
