Entering the Marshal's Mansion in Liao Tunnel City, the shouts and killings that came from time to time in my ears gradually disappeared. The maids and guards in the marshal's mansion have already been driven and killed by the personal guard battalion or driven to kill, and there are still pools of blood on the ground, but there are still many maids in the original mansion who are cleaning up.

Zhao Xun entered the hall, and there were several burning charcoal fires in the hall. The heat exudes and makes the whole house extremely warm. Slowly sitting on the main seat, I couldn't help but take a gentle breath.

Looking at the two people standing in front of him, Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Ah Qiqi, Gao Xiang!" This time it was so smooth, and the two of you contributed a lot. ”

Gao Xiang didn't say much, and A Qiqi said repeatedly: "We don't dare to take credit, we are all brave under the general." ”

"Ah Qiqi, you have made great contributions to me, and I will spare you from dying, you will have no problem being a rich man for the people of Youzhou for me in the future. Gao Xiang, tonight at noon tomorrow, Liao Tunnel City will be closed. After noon tomorrow, the city gate will be opened, and the news that the military lord of Andong Mansion will surrender to the Xiaoguo army and assist the Xiaoguo army in taking the Liao Tunnel City and its surrounding counties will spread. So, you should hurry up tomorrow morning and send you a message to the commander of the army, and prepare early, so as not to be caught off guard. Zhao Xun said with a smile.

Hearing Zhao Xun's words, Gao Xiang frowned, he knew that Zhao Xun was asking him to persuade Ah Qiqi's father Ah Jili. And they will spread the word that they will assist in the siege of the city, and when the time comes, there will be no way out without surrendering.

"Gao Xiang, if you want to ensure the safety of your family, it's best to let Ajili surrender, otherwise, if there is any accident, I will not be responsible." Zhao Xun said with a faint smile.

Gao Xiang's face changed, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Okay, Wei Chen, take the two of you down to rest."

Seeing the two leaving, Zhao Xun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and suddenly, he felt tired. Perhaps it was the continuous days of fighting, and as soon as the Liao Tunnel City was captured, it relaxed all over its body, making it feel tired for a while.

Zhao Xun, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, suddenly noticed a pair of somewhat cold little hands appearing from behind his back, gently kneading his forehead. Taking a deep breath gently, a faint fragrance came, and he didn't need to look at it to know that this hand must be Su Ziyan standing on his side. Neither of them spoke, and Zhao Xun was rarely clear.

The night in April was still very long, and when the sun gradually rose in the east, the Liao Tunnel City seemed to come to life all of a sudden, and the whole city began to be noisy. But compared to yesterday, there seem to be many times fewer people in the city.

As soon as it was dawn, Gao Xiang galloped away, ready to report the situation here to Andong City.

"General, there are no less than 100,000 people in the city, but only one-third of the Han people are people, and the rest are people of all ethnic groups." Situ Liang came early in the morning to report on the situation in the city.

Zhao Xun pondered for a moment and said: "The nobles and landlords of the Su Mo Yan Department in the city were killed, and the family property was given to those Han people. As for the people of Sumo, they moved to the seven prefectures in the south of Youzhou to replenish the population. At the same time, it accepted the displaced people from all over the country to move to the land of the Eastern Three Prefectures, gave land, provided seeds, farm tools, and cattle, and was exempted from taxes for three years. ”

Situ Liang said: "General, half of the one-third of the Su Mo Yan people can only graze, do not plough the land, and migrate to Youzhou, I'm afraid it will not be easy to live." ”

"In this way, the non-Han people, the rest of the people of all ethnic groups, non-nomadic herders, all moved to Youzhou. Again, they will be tax-free for one year. ”

The difference on the streets today is that more and more Han people appear on the streets, no longer as in the past, and they are low-voiced. Because in the sky above Liao Tunnel City, the fluttering Flame Qilin Banner will be their strongest backing.

The patrol soldiers who came and went were constantly reading out the military discipline of the Xiaoguo Army. There are also those who continue to appear in the homes of various landlords and nobles, dragging out those landlords and nobles who were high in the past, beheading them on the spot, confiscating their family property, and sealing the mansions. All the time declares the strength of the Xiaoguo Army, so that the people of all ethnic groups are careful and careful.

…………

Dozens of miles around Yinxi Port were taken by Zhao Mang with lightning today, for no other reason, and the Zuofu army, which had been waiting for four or five days, finally arrived at 10,000 people.

"Uncle Li, why did you come, didn't you say that you would be there in three days?" Zhao Mang said to Li Chenfeng with a wry smile.

Li Chenfeng smiled: "You kid, do you think the sea is my home, come if you want, leave if you want?" Don't we still have to look at God's face? How? Can't wait for just four or five days? You're not going to be discovered by the Devils, are you? ”

"How can it be, it's just that the brothers have been suffocated in the past five days. The weather is cold, and you can't just light a fire during the day, but fortunately it's only five ......days," Zhao Mang said bitterly.

"Really? Since you are working so hard, then you will not need to be in the task of the striker this time, you better have a good rest. Li Chenfeng said with a smile.

"Don't, Uncle Li, although it has worked a little hard, it will definitely not affect the combat effectiveness. In this big battle, I will not let the Angry Front Battalion give in! ”

"Well, now that the Nufeng Battalion is the vanguard, raiding Beisha City, as long as we occupy this city, we can be regarded as completely gaining a foothold, and we are no longer afraid of the southward movement of the Evil Army. However, I don't think the Yan army will go south, and Xun'er's army is afraid that it has already set off momentum in Andong Mansion. ”

"Duwei Zhang, mobilize the Han people in the place we occupy. The nobles and landlords were confiscated, and the property was distributed to the people, and the government officials cooperated with the local people to gain the support of the local people and stabilize the place. ”

…………

"Situ Liang, send an order to Youzhou, let them send another 50,000 people, and at the same time transfer the students of the Martial Arts Academy into this trained people, enter the Dongsanfu, and turn the people into soldiers at any time."

"Uncle Li, leave 10,000 people to live here, and first shock the place. I took the rest of the people and went east to Andong City to cut off the connection between Liaocheng Mansion and Xiping Mansion. In this way, Andong Mansion and Xiping Mansion will basically fall into our hands. ”

"Ah Qiqi, this time you go to Andong City with us, and by the way, persuade your father, so as not to meet each other."

Situ Liang said: "General, everyone else in this city is easy to handle, but there are still seven or eight thousand defenders in the original city, which is not easy to deal with, one is not good, and it can be ...... at any time."

"The regular garrison of the city? Isn't the whole army dead? How can there be? General Xue Lei? Zhao Xun said lightly.

Xue Lei was stunned and said: "Back to the general, the defenders in the city are indeed all killed!" As soon as these words came out, it meant that the seven or eight thousand captives were no longer there.

The majority of foreigners in the Eastern Three Prefectures, even more than the Han Chinese, are extremely unfavorable to local rule, which is also the reason why the Eastern Three Prefectures can be occupied by the Su Mo Yan Ya. Since Zhao Xun has come here, he has to adjust the proportion of residents and the possible threat of foreign races, and if necessary, use a butcher's knife to clean a part.

"Situ Liang! Let the Chief Secretary of Administration send more people to build schools and academies in the places we occupy in the three eastern prefectures, and all the people in our territory must learn Chinese and wear Han Guan, so that they can enjoy the policy treatment of our Youzhou. ”

"My subordinates understand! General, there are many Han people in the city who are chasing and killing other people, how to deal with it? ”

"Strife among the people? Why? Zhao Xun asked with a frown. He didn't want his people to fight each other.

Situ Liang said: "After the fall of the Eastern Three Mansions, the status of the Han people dropped sharply, so they were bullied by the Su Mo Yan people and the people of other ethnic groups. Now that I have turned over, I naturally will not forget my old hatred, so I ......"

"Well...... Send someone to check, and whoever killed the Han people in vain in the past will be killed! Those who bully the Han people will be repaid with their family wealth. ”

"Obey!"

"The Shanzi Battalion and the Huozi Battalion were the vanguard, and the army followed and marched towards Andong City. Only by taking Andong City can we be regarded as recovering Andong Mansion, and the western area of Anton Mansion can be regarded as completely stable. ”

After resting for a day, the army moved again and marched towards the city of Anton.

"Gao Xiang, I gave you a day, and I should be able to let you pass the news here to the Andong Mansion military lord Ajili. The existing defenders of Andong City are only thirty or forty thousand, whether to fight or surrender, I hope you have the right choice. Zhao Xun said silently.

…………

Andong City, the capital city of Andong Mansion, is located in the northeast of Anton Mansion, north of Liaocheng Mansion, south of Xiping Mansion, is the east, west, north and south as long as the road, this city is larger than the Liao Tunnel City, but this city is not a border city, but the place of trade and material transit of the three provinces.

After a day of wild running, I finally arrived at Andong City near night.

"Open the gates!"

"Ah...... It's General Gao Xiang, the general is later, let's open the city gate! ”

After Gao Xiang entered the city, he hurried to the mansion of the military lord Ajili.

Hearing that Gao Xiang was back, Ajili was surprised, Gao Xiang was a general he sent to his son to assist in the battle, how could he suddenly turn back? Suddenly, I felt a sudden feeling in my heart, and hurriedly asked people to introduce Gao Xiang into the study.

"The last general will meet the military lord!"

Ah Jili hurriedly asked, "Gao Xiang, why are you again?" Didn't you work with Jin Zhan to assist Ah Qiqi in rescuing Liao Tunnel City? ”

"Jin Zhan was killed, the 30,000 reinforcements were all killed, and the Liao Tunnel City was also lost! Ah Qiqi also fell into the hands of the Xiaoguo army. Gao Xiang replied with a wry smile.

Gao Xiang's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, making Ajili's brain dizzy. He never expected that the situation would change so much overnight. A few days ago, Liao Tunnel City was still in its own hands, waiting for rescue. In just a few days, there have been earth-shaking changes.

"Wait...... How did you escape? How else do you know so much about the affairs of Liao Tunnel City? Ajili's eyes suddenly sharpened. He knew that the veteran in front of him was from a Han background.

Gao Xiang smiled bitterly: "Could it be that the military lord thinks that I betrayed the army?" I, Jin Zhan and A Qi Qi Gongzi led a large army to rescue Liao Tunnel City, but before they arrived, they had already besieged nearly seventy or eighty thousand Xiaoguo troops, and in less than an hour, the whole army collapsed. The last general originally intended to let Ah Qiqi change his clothes and abscond, but he didn't expect to be caught by the patrol post of the Xiaoguo Army. Subsequently, Ah Qiqi Gongzi was broken and joined hands with the Xiaoguo Army to break through the Liao Tunnel City. I was released back by the Xiaoguo Army, let me persuade the military master to surrender! ”

Ajili said hatefully: "Surrender? Do they deserve it too? ”

"Military Lord, now the people of Liao Tunnel City know that the military master has surrendered to the Xiaoguo Army, and asked Ah Qi to open the city gate for the Xiaoguo Army. I'm afraid that tomorrow at noon, the news will reach back to Andong City. When the time comes...... If you don't descend when the time comes, you will die! Gao Xiang said in a muffled voice.

When Ajili heard this, he was shocked and speechless for a long time. Although he was not the military master of Andong Mansion, he was in charge of the military and political power of Anton Mansion. But in Anton City, if you know that he defected to the enemy and fell to the Xiaoguo army, he would definitely be killed by several generals!

"Gao Xiang! You...... Ah Qi misunderstands me, and you misunderstand me! Ajili pulled down with a trembling voice, his mind in confusion.

"General, the last general has seen the military might of the Xiaoguo Army with his own eyes! The last general thinks that we are not an opponent in these three eastern mansions. The Xiaoguo army still has an army of nearly 100,000, and the people from all over the country responded in groups, but there are only less than 30,000 soldiers in the city, how can they be the opponents of the Xiaoguo army? ”

"What do you want to say? Surrender? Ajili stared at Gao Xiang, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

Gao Xiang didn't dodge either, and said, "Military Master, you are not worthy of dying for the clan. If the tribe had trusted you, they would not have placed four disobedient generals here. Besides, let's not mention the threat of the Xiaoguo Army for the time being, if Yu Su and the four of them know the news from Liao Tunnel City, what will be the result? They will not hesitate to get rid of the master and replace him. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The first strike is stronger, and the last strike suffers. When it is broken, it is broken, besides, Ah Qiqi is still in the hands of the Xiaoguo Army! ”

"Wait, but you can't be so aggressive!" Ajili was slightly sweaty on his forehead, and he was a little nervous at the moment, and he didn't know how to choose for a while.
