Chapter 147: Fame
"Fu County Order, why do you need to be so insistent." Seeing Fu Jie's persistence in holding the sword, the county magistrate of Yongxian County persuaded him.
"Piff, shut up!" Fu Jie immediately scolded. "I was ordered by Emperor Qin to govern Lu County, and now that the army is defeated here, what face do I have?" Fu Jie said tragically, with a few words, but his ambition in this life was vividly displayed, "Your Majesty, I will follow you!" After that, Fu Jie raised his sword and killed himself.
Seeing this, Cao shouted: "Fu Jie is dead, and anyone who dares to resist will be killed!" Subsequently, he ordered Zhou Bo to escort these surrendered Qin troops to Pei County.
And Lu Shizhi on the side dug up Zhao Sheng from the corpses all over the field, looking at the latter who had died in a tragic battle, Lu Shizhi roared in grief. Cao Shen and the others were also silent and didn't know how to speak, and after a while, he patted Lu Shizhi on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "Let's go, transport Zhao Sheng back to Pei County first." ”
"Lu Ze, order you to lead three hundred troops to clean up the battlefield." Cao Shen looked at Lu Ze again and ordered.
Liu Yuan was still standing on top of the city tower, in the distance, a torch was gradually approaching in the night, and when he arrived at the city, Zhou Bo respectfully asked for his life, and the gate of Peixian City was opened. Liu Yuan also smiled in the cold wind, this victory!
Yes, this victory was not easy, and the total number of Pei troops in this siege was more than 3,200, and less than half of them returned in the end. Fierce battles are like this, every victory is piled up with human life, human life is cheaper than a dog, and this time is fully embodied.
Returning to the county office, Liu Yuan swept through everyone, and Zhao Sheng's death made him regret. I still remember that when Peixian was captured, it was Zhao Sheng who opened the city gate for Neiying, and along the way, the latter was not afraid of a strong enemy in the battle of Peixian, and closed the siege tonight, and blocked the offensive of the Qin army with a heroic body. Zhao Sheng, such a small person who was insignificant in the history of his previous life and even had no historical records at all, but he had a loyalty that was not inferior to Cao Shen, Xiahou Ying and others.
Especially the sentence "For Pei Gong", Liu Yuan felt in his heart, now Pei County has been related to his life and death, and how many lives are in his hands. In the troubled times, only by fighting a bloody way can we live up to these followers.
First there are Yongya, then there are Zhao Sheng, Liu Yuan looked at Cao Shen and others in front of him, with the intensification of the war, these once powerful figures in history, I don't know how many people can survive in this life. After a pause, Liu Yuan sighed and said, "Zhao Sheng is worthy of me, and I am better than the Zhao family." Order, for Zhao Shenghou's burial. ”
"No!" Liu Fang received the order in a low voice.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Shen came out of the column and reported: "In this siege, more than 1,500 Qin troops were attacked and killed, and more than 2,000 people were surrendered. However, some Qin troops still took advantage of the chaos to flee. ”
"All the troops are incorporated into the Pei Army, and how to rectify it will be handed over to Zhou Bo to deal with. Remember, if there is a wrongdoer among the troops, behead; Those who do not obey military orders shall be beheaded; Whoever forms a party, slash! Liu Yuan said murderously, at an extraordinary time, you can't be soft, these troops will be obedient, if you want them to return to their hearts, it will take a while, so this transitional period can only be deterred.
"Lord, how to deal with this county magistrate?" Cao Shen asked again.
Liu Yuan frowned and thought for a while, and he said again in a deep voice: "Since it has been said that the surrenderer will not be killed, this person can be regarded as meritorious in leading the troops to surrender." Although he is greedy for life and afraid of death, he can be the order of a county, and he also has some talents. In this way, he was ordered to be the commander of Wuyuan County and stationed in Wuyuan with the army. ”
The reason why the county order was changed to Wuyuan was also to prevent the latter from rebelling. After all, if they are allowed to continue to return to Yongxian, with their prestige in Ningxian, they will soon be able to form a defense army. This is not what Liu Yuan wants to see, but if the county order is killed or the latter is not appointed, it will not be conducive to Pei Jun's future surrender.
Immediately, Liu Yuan spread out the map, and after this battle, the four counties of Wuyuan no longer had the power to defend, and the land of the four counties was also in Liu Yuan's hands. In case of an accident, he immediately ordered, "Cao Shen and Lu Ze, order the two of you to continue to lead the troops to collect the four counties, go quickly." ”
Cao Shen and Lu Ze were ordered to leave at the same time. And Da Niu and Zhou Bo were left in Pei County, and there were a lot of troops, only these two people could be deterred, especially Da Niu Li cut the horse's hooves, and he was brave, if his bull's eyes were glaring, I am afraid that there are few people who dare to speak nonsense.
Fu Jie's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao was finally defeated by Liu Yuan's strategy of besieging and attacking the camp with internal and external flowers. As soon as this news came out, Surabaya County was in an uproar. Many great clans have sent envoys to Pei County to show their loyalty and willingness to submit. And the happiest is Lu Wen, the prince of Lu, Liu Yuan ordered him to buy rice and grain, and he also bought a lot for Pei County during this time, so that Pei County can continue to accept displaced people.
But after this battle, how dare many big clans still collect money, in order to cling to Liu Yuan, they racked their brains in the hope of getting a referral from Lu Wen. And rice, grain, bronze and other materials, the big clans all donated them, which saved Pei County a lot of money, and Lu Wen was already smiling from ear to ear.
Similarly, the attachment of the big clans also made the county guard Chen Tong realize the great crisis, if Liu Yuan occupied the four counties, the next step was to capture Pengcheng. At that time, this weak pavilion chief, who originally only had one county, would have the capital to fight him head-on.
Chen Tong thought that this would be a lose-lose battle, and he was ready to fight against Fu Jie and Liu Yuan, but now it seems that his preparation was just in vain. Chen Tong, who had already lost once in Pei County, did not dare to act rashly.
"Don't sit still!" Chen Tong muttered to himself gloomily.
also had this idea, as well as the Pengcheng County Order, Fu Jie's defeat caught him off guard, and the original wishful thinking had to fall through. This Pengcheng County Commander was even more anxious than Chen Tong, and he hurriedly ordered: "Quickly, quickly send troops to occupy Wu County and Yong County, and you must not let Liu Yuan occupy all the land of the four counties." In addition, you are going to Xiangxian to ask the county guard for help, and I, Pengcheng, am willing to fight for my son. ”
As a secret envoy, the county also knew that the situation was urgent, and he immediately took the order to leave. So, Peng Cheng reacted as soon as he got the news, and the two armies rushed to Yongxian and Wuxian respectively, while Xiancheng went to Xiangxian. Whether he could resist Liu Yuan's expansion, Pengcheng County Ling had no confidence in his heart, and he pinned his hopes on Chen Tong, the county guard, to send troops to recruit Pei County again.
The change in Surabaya County was sudden, Liu Yuan defeated the coalition army with a thunderbolt, and his reputation not only spread throughout the county, but even the neighboring Dangjun and Donghai counties began to pay attention to him. It can be said that this battle not only gave Liu Yuan an advantage in Surabaya County, but also exposed him to the eyes of all anti-Qin forces, and he gradually made everyone dare not underestimate him.
