Chapter 81: Quick Battle
The wind gusted, and the dust rolled up seemed to be full of oppression, just rolling and surging against the ground. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But whether it is this day or this place, such a gloomy and depressed cannot stop the Li family army who is in full swing at the moment, preparing to camp.
Li Cheng turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to Fang Yue, who was expressionless beside him, and looked up into the distance.
Fat as a city.
At the beginning, the Northern Yan took Feiru as the last line of defense and resisted the Goguryeo army. At that time, Li Cheng himself was a small dock castle general who was not even qualified to enter the fat city.
Who would have thought that in just a few years, at this moment, he would come to this city again as a conqueror.
Since Murong commented on the defeat of Liaodong, Beiyan could no longer muster enough to go to the hinterland to defeat the army, and there was no way to talk about the defense of Liaoxi. In addition, Murong Ling, a "Xianbei traitor" who was desperate, had such a justifiable reason, not to mention the Han officials in Liaoxi County, many Xianbei generals also opened the city and surrendered with peace of mind. Even if there is occasional resistance, it is only symbolic and does not make surrender look ugly.
marched all the way, surrendered, pacified, and set up officials, until Feiru City, the first city in western Liaoxi, finally had some decent resistance, and Gai was therefore a guard, and he was a henchman under Murong Ping.
However, in the case of panic and the lack of support from the army of the Northern Yan Imperial Court, it is not known how long Feiru City can hold on.
The sound of horses' hooves approached, and a team of knights rushed towards Li Cheng. Fang Yue, who was guarding Li Cheng's side, looked back, and soon turned back as if nothing had happened, and made a sculpture again.
When Li Cheng was still twenty or thirty feet away, the knight leader raised his hand to signal, and the soldiers and generals behind him all reined in their horses, and only the leader dismounted, stroked the head of the horse, and then stepped forward quickly.
"Childe, the weather is getting colder, this fat city seems to have a heart to hold on, Childe is riding alone to watch the enemy, it is really inappropriate."
Li Cheng turned his head to look at it and smiled a little apologetically: "It's just that my heart was touched, and I wanted to come out for a walk, but I didn't expect it to alarm Zhongquan you." However, Zhongquan was assured that Beiyan was attacked on all sides, and the border army could not be mobilized. Murong Ping was defeated, Murong was far away, and he was as fat as a man, even if the guards had the courage, they didn't have the ability to pose any threat to me. ”
Xiahou Ba solemnly bowed his hand: "Son's stealing should not be careless." Our army came all the way to the west, it was too smooth, and the sergeants were all proud, otherwise they would not have set up a camp, so they planned to charge up the city wall, but now they have lost dozens of dollars. If it weren't for the fact that there was only a guard heart in the city, and there was no will to fight, as long as a little means were used, the casualties would not be so much. ”
Li Cheng nodded: "I am also aware of this matter, and I acquiesced in letting the vanguard attack the city be damaged." It is worth killing the arrogance of the sergeants and exchanging the lives of dozens of people for the strict organization of the army. Liaoxi is cold and hard, it is not the core area of Beiyan, and the journey is smooth, and it is also in the plan. The real test, when next, is in the hinterland of Youzhou. ”
Listening to Li Cheng now, he has taken the lives of dozens of people so lightly, and the last bit of worry in Xiahou Ba's heart is finally gone.
"I wonder what Childe thinks tomorrow?"
"Wait."
"Wait?" Xiahou Ba was stunned. "Childe's intention, is it to let Murong Ling attack?"
Li Cheng's expedition to the west this time is not the plundering mentality of nomads, but to really control Youzhou! Therefore, along the way, it is necessary to make great efforts to pacify and rectify the localities. Murong Ling set up a name, Zhuge Dan was in charge of the administration, and with a strict management of the army, the three of them worked as a team to slowly lay a solid foundation for governing Youzhou.
As for the glory and self-confidence of breaking through the city and surrendering the enemy all the way, it is natural that Li Jiajun must be given his own descendants.
Although it seems that this self-confidence seems to be a bit excessive.
Li Cheng nodded and said: "At the beginning, our Han army was the vanguard, because Xianbei has dominated the northern land for nearly a hundred years, although this time it is a rebel, but Han'er is inevitably worried in his heart. Now there is Murong Ping who is defeated and flees, and now there is Liaoxi all the way to break through, and the military heart is available, which is enough. For the rest, it is necessary to make full use of Murong Ling's identity to minimize the resistance of Northern Yan. ”
As he spoke, Li Cheng looked up at the sky, dark clouds were accumulating, and it seemed that there was a possibility of heavy snow suddenly falling at any time.
"Although Beiyan is weak, it still has residual power. And the only opportunity we have is this winter. Once the winter snow melts, but we still can't take the whole territory of Youzhou, once the forces around Beiyan intervene, we can only return to Liaodong, dormant for many years, and then don't know when we will be able to return to the Central Plains. Therefore, this battle of Youzhou must be fast, and it must be resolved quickly! ”
As soon as Li Cheng's resolute and strong words fell, suddenly the gate of the fat city in the distance slowly opened.
"Childe go quickly!" Xiahou Ba's face changed, and he immediately beckoned back, and the dozen or so knights quickly drove forward, scattered and separated, and surrounded Li Cheng in the center.
Li Cheng was also nervous, and hurriedly climbed on the horse's back. At the same time, he was also secretly puzzled, he and Fang Yue were just wearing the clothes of ordinary sergeants, and the two rode out to patrol the city, it was a simple sentry behavior, how could they provoke the city gate to be opened? Even if you add Xiahou Ba's dozen horsemen, he is misunderstood as Dubo who commands fifty people - even if he is misunderstood as a general who commands a hundred people, he is just a low-level officer, why is there such a movement?
As the city gate was fully opened, several horses galloped out and frantically beat horses in the direction where Li Cheng was.
Li Cheng and the others were just about to turn their horses' heads, only to see the Northern Yan cavalry suddenly take out a flag from their arms, raise their hands high, and at the same time seem to be roaring something.
The two places are still far apart, and they are raising their horses, so naturally they can't really hear it at this moment. But that banner forced Li Cheng and Xiahou Ba to stay in place.
It turned out to be a white flag!
Soon, some foot soldiers came out of the city gate one after another, and in the hands of these foot soldiers, each of them pressed several middle-aged officials and even generals.
"Wait...... Don't go...... Toucheng ......"
In the distance, the roar of the Northern Yan cavalry was gradually heard.
…………
“…… In the past, King Wu Zhennan, the lonely city was alone, fighting to the death against Wei, but today I have the peace of Dayan. However, the king of Wu was bloody, but the traitorous ministers in the court were in charge, and they were rebellious. We and the other sergeants were all indignant. In this world, the son of the Qing Dynasty raised volunteers, the Qing monarch side, and the children of our country, the world received the emperor's favor, and they should help each other, regardless of life and death. The upper is worthy of the ancestors, and the lower is worthy of the descendants. However, the fat general He Ruoli and others were bent on rebelling against the **** Murong Commentary, and wanted to base the city to resist His Royal Highness's righteous army. The generals and colonels in the city, as long as there are loyal and conscientious people, gather in anger to capture this thief to welcome His Highness! ”
Looking at the silk book in his hand, Li Cheng couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
A quick solution is a good thing. But it was so easy to win, but it couldn't help but make people laugh and cry.
Just like the First Sino-Japanese War in the later generations, the Japanese army gambled on the fortunes of the country and broke the heart of the battlefield, but encountered a group of weak brigades of the Huai Army, which was known as the elite, but it was already in the twilight.
"Those Xianbei generals, as well as He Ruoli and others, have they all settled down?"
Xiahou Ba saluted and said, "It's ready, and it can be sent to the rear at any time." ”
Li Cheng handed the silk book to Xiahou Ba: "Then let Murong Ling solve these things." As for our ......"
Li Cheng glanced at the area on the map, marking the area where Beiping County was located.
"Control the news of Feiru's surrender and set off as soon as possible. Zhongquan, you say, if the Northern Yan Army sees our army breaking through so quickly, will some interesting things continue to happen? ”
Xiahou Ba looked at Li Cheng's playful smile, and couldn't help but have a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth.
Panic is like a plague, and sometimes, it's much more powerful than a sword, a gun, a bow and an arrow!
