Chapter Seventy-One: The Capture of Hanoi

Seeing that Cao Cao's heavy troops were all around, surrounded by impenetrable wind, he sighed secretly, threw the sword in his hand to the ground, and instructed his subordinates: "Forget it, everyone doesn't have to resist, throw away all the weapons in your hands." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Everyone was already frightened, and it was really a relief to hear what Su Gu said. The soldiers were in a hurry and threw their weapons aside.

A team of Cao soldiers poured into the courtyard, stood with knives, surrounded Zheng Gu and the others, and did not make a sound. It didn't take much time, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and several personal soldiers escorted a young man dressed as a Confucian scholar and walked in slowly.

Seeing that the man was dressed as a Confucian student, he was in his twenties, not tall, and his appearance was very ordinary, and he couldn't help but move in his heart, "You are Liu Yong?" ”

"General Wei has good eyesight, and it is Liu Yong below." Liu Yong smiled slightly, waved his hand, and the army swarmed up, firmly binding Zheng Gu and the others.

Su Gu did not resist, and sighed: "General Liu is really a good method, Wei admires!" ”

Liu Yong was shocked: "Do you know my strategy? ”

Wei Gu sighed: "You are a dangerous move, first choose a person who looks similar to you to use your banner, lead the troops to Luoyang, and hide from Wei Mou's meticulous work." And you led these 100 people to sneak to the left side of Qinyang to hide unconsciously. When we thought you were far away in Luoyang and relaxed, you waited for the opportunity to move and venture in, which was a 'plan to capture the king'! ”

Liu Yong was relieved and asked rhetorically: "General Wei, this is what you think Liu Yong's plan is?" ”

"Isn't it? By the way, you'll have to buy off my men. Su Gu muttered, his tone becoming more and more sad and angry, "Childe can actually buy my subordinates, which makes Wei unguardable. However, Wei is unwilling, those are my henchmen, what means do you have to make them betray me, can you tell me that you can let Wei die without resentment. ”

The more Liu Yong listened, the more amused he felt: "Why did General Wei say this? I'm afraid you're mistaken. ”

Su Gu hated and said, "Did you guess wrong?" If it weren't for the fact that there was an internal response in the city, how could you sneak into the city so easily? If you hadn't bribed the generals under my account, you would have been able to capture Wei alive, and how could you have taken Wei away from Hanoi's 5,000 elite soldiers? ”

Liu Yong looked at it in a daze for a while, and suddenly smiled: "General Wei is too self-righteous, right?" Listen to the shouting and killing outside, do you really think that Liu is such a person? ”

When he heard the shouting and killing outside, his heart moved, and he said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that there are rebels among my generals, and now they are leading troops to help you?" ”

Liu Yong shook his head and sighed, "I told you the truth." That's Liu's men and horses fighting with your subordinates. However, there are more than 10,000 elite soldiers with high morale on my side, and your 5,000 people are caught off guard, and most of them are drunk and tired soldiers, how can they resist. I think after a while the battle will be over. ”

He was shocked and said, "More than 10,000 people? I don't believe it, where did you come from more than 10,000 people, you must be deceiving me. ”

"The general is now a prisoner of Liu Yongjie, is it necessary for Liu to deceive you?" Liu Yong shook his head and said, "General Wei." I didn't buy anyone. General Wei is so sad, which shows your kindness to your subordinates on weekdays. In the second thought, since you treat them so deeply and compare your heart to your heart, I am afraid that they will not be so easily bribed. ”

Hearing General Liu say this, Wei felt much better. It's just that you don't understand, when you set off from Xudu, it was 30,000 people, and when you set out in Luoyang, it was also 30,000 people. After you left, Xu Du didn't have any more soldiers and horses, where did these soldiers come from, could it be that the general used some spell to fly over? He still couldn't believe it.

Liu Yong chuckled: "I don't know any spells." But it's a little trick in the next one. ”

Seeing that he was puzzled, Liu Yong said again: "When I set off from Xudu, it was indeed 30,000 people. However, only more than 10,000 people actually arrived in Luoyang. ”

"I don't believe it. My henchmen counted 30,000 as much as they could. ”

"I'm sorry. In fact, it is like this......" Liu Yong's heart was full of pride, "When I found out that Xu Du Xizuo returned to Hanoi, I divided my troops into two divisions, and I led one of them to go into battle lightly, and first went to the vicinity of Hanoi to hide and wait for the attack. Liu released scouts, some people who monitored Luoyang back to Qinyang, and some infiltrated the city to explore the deployment of troops and horses, the allocation of grain and grass, and the deployment of personnel. When Luoyang's fine work comes back to report to you, when Hanoi's defense is lax, I will take advantage of the gap and decide a battle. ”

"These are all known, but they are still puzzled. As you just said, you have already divided 10,000 troops to this side, and there are only more than 10,000 people left there, but my henchmen have clearly counted 30,000 people! ”

"It's easy." Liu Yong smiled slightly, a little proud, and said, "I know that your meticulous work is in the city, so I let the soldiers line up in two columns to enter the city from the east gate of Luoyang, and then go out of the city from the west gate." After the front army left the city, they made a big circle to avoid your fine work, returned to the east gate, and followed the rear army into the city again. In this cycle, I can conjure up as many people as you want. ”

His face was like ashes, and he sighed: "General Liu is really clever, and he admires it!" ”

Liu Yong arched his hand and said, "Don't dare, I also learned from others!" That's a good point, Liu Yong's plan was indeed inspired by American General Patton in World War II.

At this time, Zhou Cang came to report, "General, how should I deal with my wife and children in the backyard?" ”

When he heard this, he knelt on the ground, bowed his head again and again, and begged: "General Liu, I beg you to spare the family, and I am grateful." ”

Liu Yong thought for a while, and said to Wei Gu: "General Wei can order a confidant, and then select one hundred and ten soldiers to escort his family back to his hometown, and all the gold and silver in the house can be taken away." ”

When he heard this, he burst into tears and kowtowed, "Thank you General Liu for your great kindness." ”

Zhou Cang reminded: "General, if you let your family members go privately, you are not afraid of the prime minister's blame?" ”

Liu Yong said: "It's okay for the prime minister to act cheaply with me. Furthermore, what does it have to do with the family? Do what I want. He cried bitterly and was moved.

"Come on, when General Wei makes proper arrangements, he will be sent to Xu Du to let the prime minister leave. Be sure to accompany you on the road, and don't slack off. Liu Yong waved his hand lightly, and some soldiers had already escorted Su Gu and the others out.

At this time, Yu Ban and Dong Xi walked in with a spring breeze on their faces, and Liu Yong asked with a smile: "General Yu, have you taken the city?" ”

"The Gu subordinates have no power to fight back, and now the fighting has ceased everywhere. The armies are counting the numbers and cleaning up the battlefield. Yu Ban was a little regretful, he didn't play too much, and said to Liu Yong with a smile, "The general's strategy is really unpredictable, and the strange Dao Cheng is full of praise for you." Yu Ban was quite dissatisfied with Liu Yong's position above him before, and it can be seen that the soldiers took Hanoi bloodlessly, and he couldn't help but admire it.

"General Yu, I only left the people in my headquarters to stay in Qinyang and calm the people. If you work harder, you will send your troops to your battalions to replenish your troops. Now the surrounding counties don't know that there are changes in Qinyang, and if you lead your troops and horses to attack quickly, you will definitely be able to take it easily. Then build fortifications in case Yuan Shao attacks. ”

"Wow. Yu Ban received orders. ”

Dong Xi waited for Yu Ban to leave and asked: "General, it's almost dawn, you are tired all the way, your subordinates will immediately send someone to clean up the Taishou Mansion, you can rest for a while." ”

"Brother Dong, there are no outsiders now, we are still brothers."

"Okay, Brother Liu."

"That's right." Liu Yong said with a smile, "I'm afraid the people in the city are also having trouble sleeping." In this way, Brother Zhou and everyone will help the people to extinguish the fire first, and the soldiers who died in battle, whether it is ours or theirs, should be buried properly. Those who are wounded, whether they are friends or enemies, must be healed, after all, we are all the people of the Han Dynasty. ”

Zhou Cang was ordered to leave, and Liu Yong said to Dong again: "The officials in Hanoi Mansion are all here, right?" ”

"Yes, they are all surrounded by the brothers."

"Good. Brother Dong went to invite the landlords and merchants in the city, and the officials who returned to the township to discuss matters in the government together. ”

After a while, Liu Yong rushed to the government with his own soldiers, and the officials, errand servants, and wealthy families there were all trembling, not knowing what to do with the young man.

Liu Yong was also not polite, and sat down in the lobby, "Everyone should sit too." "Anyway, there was no bench at that time, and it was said to be sitting, but it was actually no different from kneeling.

"Liu Mou regained Hanoi in one fell swoop by the will of the Holy Lord, do you have any complaints in your hearts?"

"No...... I am looking forward to the imperial court sending troops. The crowd scrambled to be the first to show their loyalty.

"That's good." Liu Yong didn't care whether these people were sincere or false, "In this case, the general will give the order." Keep a good record of the book, and when the time comes, you must put it everywhere, so that all the people of the city may know about it. ”

"Yes, General." The rest of the crowd pricked up their ears, knowing that the command was in their own interest.

"First, the original positions of Hanoi and county officials are still retained; Second, all the private property of the people shall remain their own, and no one else shall encroach upon ......"

Before Liu Yong could finish speaking, the people below shouted, "Thank you, General!" ”

"Be quiet, General Liu hasn't finished talking yet." Dong Xi had to speak out to stop it.

"Third, the wealthy merchants and squires present here need to send their guards and officials in the government to form a joint defense team, which is led by the subordinates of the official and the county lieutenants of each county, and is responsible for the security of the city.

"Fourth, the county magistrates will be responsible for registering all the landless displaced people in Hanoi Province, and there will be special personnel to organize the reclamation of tuntian."

"Fifth ,......"

As soon as Liu Yong's orders were promulgated, officials, wealthy households, and homeless people applauded. Now Yuan Shao's eyes are staring at Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, and he has no time to take care of Hanoi, so Liu Yong is not too worried. Sure enough, the high-ranking cadres of Bingzhou did not move, and the officials of Hanoi Prefecture saw that Liu Yong not only did not punish him, but still retained him, trusting him, and he was even more grateful, and worked harder, so just a few days later, the counties of Hanoi settled down.

With the dedicated assistance of this group of officials, the burden on Liu Yong's shoulders is also a lot lighter, in addition to daily inspections, he can also read and practice calligraphy in his busy time. On this day, Liu Yong was copying in the room, and Zhou Cang ran in and said, "Brother Liu, I heard from the military officer in the concierge that someone has to see you." ”

Liu Yong didn't look up, "Brother Zhou, how do you see my handwriting?" ”

"It's so well written, every word is the same size, and every stroke is straight and flat." Zhou Cang shouted casually.

"Go, I don't know how to pretend to understand." Liu Yong scolded with a smile, "I still know how many catties and taels I have, and I want you to slap your ass." By the way, who wants to see me? ”

"I've never seen this man. I heard that he was dressed like a beggar, but he spoke in a crepe manner, and we didn't understand it, and he said that he was the old man of Brother Liu, and he had confidential things to tell him, so we came to report. ”

"The deceased?" Liu Yong was suspicious for a while, where do I have any old people in this world? Maybe this man really has something important. Liu Yong said in his heart, "Then invite him in." ”
