Chapter 140: General Nanwei (I)

A few moments later, the soldiers of the city ascended the city one after another and joined the battle group in formation. Although there were only 300 people, they acted as one, striding and stabbing with guns, retreating after half a step, and then striding with guns to assassinate...... Just such a simple action, the cycle continued, and the Bohai soldiers panicked, gradually became difficult to form a formation, and were fragmented, and finally after one person turned around and fled, all of them collapsed.

The head of the city was occupied without any suspense, Zhuang Yi did not divide his troops to stay, and went directly down the steps of the horse road to the head of the city and rushed to the east gate. At this time, the defenders of the East Gate were already flustered, and Zhuang Yi's soldiers dismounted and assembled in formation, and the Bohai soldiers ran away by themselves. This saved Zhuang Yi a lot of trouble, and let the soldiers stand by on the side, and Gao Baonu directly stepped forward to open the east gate of the military fort.

Pu Nu outside the city led 600 elite horsemen to rush in like a gust of wind, and rushed straight to the military camp and warehouse in the military fort, in order to occupy it as soon as possible, otherwise, the Bohai people and dogs jumped over the wall in a hurry and burned it down, then there would be nothing.

Wu Lu Shou was quickly occupied, but this time Wu Chongli was obedient, and I don't know if he ran away in advance, or what was going on, but there was no one in the city. The captives were quickly taken out, and after being counted, there were more than 500 of them.

But the seizure was not much, there were 3,500 stone of grain, more than 500 cattle and sheep, which was about two or three months of grain for 800 soldiers. In addition, there are 500 war horses, more than 1,000 sets of armor, knives, guns and equipment, and some copper coins and jewelry, worth about 1,000 yuan. Zhuang Yi counted these trophies by category and sealed them, and assigned troops to be on duty at night, and then arranged for the soldiers to camp and rest.

The next day, Zhuang Yi got up from a lazy sleep, inspected the military fort, and then took more than ten guards and walked around the surrounding villages outside the fort. There are five larger villages in the vicinity, each with about two or three hundred households, mainly engaged in fishing, hunting and grazing, as well as cultivating fields.

Zhuang Yi casually walked outside a village, and every family lived in straw huts with bad soil walls, and it seemed that they were very poor. Outside the village, there are large green wheat fields, and there are also some wastelands, where groups of peasants are busy.

Zhuang Yi casually chatted with an old farmer and asked about farming, but the result was certainly not good. These farmers' techniques for farming are really not complimentary, that is, they sow the seeds into the ground, and then they just get rid of the weeds, and basically don't care much.

Zhuang Yi went to the field to take a look, the soil in this field is all black clay, very fertile, very suitable for farming, I can't help but think of the rice in the south, maybe you can try it.

In this era, the grains that people planted were corn, rice, rice, wheat, etc., all of which were widely cultivated crops in the north, but the yield was not very high. Among them, corn is better, and it can be planted on a large scale together with wheat and rice. Corn is sown in March and April, rice is sown in Liaodong, it should be at the end of April and early May, and wheat is in autumn and winter, so that grain can be harvested three times a year.

After looking at it casually, he returned to the military fort, and the soldiers sent good news on horseback, Shi Dazhong lived up to his expectations, and captured Huaiyuan in the morning, captured Gao Leming and more than 300 people again, and seized 3,000 stone of grain, more than 600 cattle and sheep, 800 horses, and some military weapons and armor, but there was basically no property.

It's good to have these harvests, at least it can last for a while, and it won't be a problem to wait until the grain in Youzhou comes back. Seeing that the spring ploughing season is about to pass, the construction of Juluo County must be slowed down, and a group of people must be released home, otherwise in the autumn and winter, many ordinary people will not be able to open the pot.

Zhuang Yi planned to return to Liucheng after a day's rest here, but at night here, Shi Dazhong, who was guarding Huaiyuan, sent someone to deliver a letter again.

Gao Jingcheng, the general of the southern guard of the Bohai Kingdom, personally led 3,000 cavalry, and his troops were in Huaiyuan in the evening of the same day to guard the military city. Shi Dazhong wrote to ask if he wanted to fight with the Bohai Kingdom.

Only 3,000 people? With such a few soldiers, Shi Dazhong dared to ask whether he would fight or not, which showed that this army was not much stronger. Obviously, after Gao Jingcheng got the Wu heavy report, he was a step late to support Huaiyuan to keep the catch. Zhuang Yi put his mind at ease and decided to go to see the situation the next day.

Huaiyuan Shou is located on the west bank of the Liao River, eighty or ninety miles away from here, Zhuang Yi led his own guards to the capital, arrived in the afternoon of the next day, Shi Dazhong heard the news and welcomed it into the military city. After resting for a while, Zhuang Yi went to the head of the east city to watch, and the Bohai Navy set up a large camp three miles outside the city. Flags are displayed in the camp, military tents are arranged in a staggered manner, and soldiers patrol back and forth, which is quite a bit of a murderous atmosphere.

"This camp looks neat, but it's actually not Er'er, do you want to fight with them first before talking?" Shi Dazhong was eager to try it and said with a smile.

"No need! Don't forget what we're here for, we have to do it in moderation, otherwise it won't be easy to say! Zhuang Yi reprimanded.

"Hey...... It's different to have elite soldiers in hand, and when I see those miscellaneous fish, I want to beat him......" Shi Dazhong said with a smile.

"Do you dare to go to the barracks opposite?"

"Why don't you dare? What does he dare to do to me? Our three-pointed two-edged saber, that's not vegetarian either. ”

"I'll go back to the camp to repair a book, and you send it to the Bohai camp. If Gao Jingcheng questions you, you will bite to death, and the land of Liaodong, including the Bohai Kingdom, is the land of the Tang Dynasty. Yingzhou is now under the takeover of Youzhou, and let him hand over the territory of the Andong Protectorate. ”

"If he refuses, we will ask him to give him money and food!" Shi Dazhong said.

"Clever! That's it! Zhuang Yi laughed.

After a while, Zhuang Yi wrote a letter and asked Shi Dazhong to go out of the city to meet General Nanwei of Bohai. Shi Dazhong went not long ago, and was soon driven back by the Bohai people, and brought back Gao Jingcheng's message.

Gao Jingcheng asked Zhuang Yi to go out of the city tomorrow to hold talks on the issue of Yingzhou, but he did not mention Anton. At this time, the bottom line of the Bohai people was revealed, Zhuang Yi was not so easy to speak, categorically refused, and asked the Bohai people to return the land of Anton. But the Bohai people are not stupid, so they naturally refuse to agree.

So, by the morning of the next day, Zhuang Yi simply led a battalion of soldiers out of the city, and showed off his might outside the Bohai naval camp.

At this time, Zhuang Yi had a heart and deliberately fought with General Bohai Zuo, looking evenly matched, but the generals under his command knew his martial arts and were not worried about his defeat. But the Bohai people were in a hurry, and the right general couldn't stand it, so he immediately came to help in the battle, and the result was that they were both captured.

At this moment, Gao Jingcheng wanted to cry without tears, so he had to send someone to pass the word again and take the initiative to ask for talks. The soldiers on both sides ran back and forth again seventeen or eighteen times, one was a lion with a big mouth and asking for a price; One is to avoid the important and pay back the money on the ground. Opinions were finally agreed: the next morning, the third day of Zhuang Yi's visit.
