Chapter Ninety-Three: Conquering Xiongzhou Six
Li Zheng pointed to this courtyard and explained to Han Wang, "This is the Wu family, some neighbors saw a few horseback riders enter the courtyard, and heard the crying of dolls, eighty percent is the foothold of Shi Cheng's old thief." ”
Han Wang nodded, glanced at Han Shizhong, and motioned for him to get it done. With a little brother, Han Wang naturally fell easily.
Han Shizhong naturally stepped forward and asked loudly, "Shi Cheng, an old thief, I am a subordinate of Han Yuwu, Ming people don't do dark things, come out!" ”
"Shi Mouhu was bullied by dogs when he fell into Pingyang, and when the distinguished guest arrived, he naturally greeted him in person!" Shi Cheng knew that he couldn't hide anymore, so he simply left the house and asked his subordinates to open the courtyard door, "But I don't know if Han Yuwu is there?" ”
"Han Wang has been waiting here for a long time" Han Shizhong led more than a dozen good hands to rush in, Han Wang finally entered the hospital, saw the gray-haired Shi Cheng, and said with a smile, "Xiongzhou has been broken, and it is a loss of identity to stoop to the private house, if you have something to say, how about going back to the county office?" ”
Shi Cheng's face twitched, the other party had already blocked the water around here, and there were only a dozen guards around him, hoping that the lives of more than a dozen people in this family could fight.
"I'm afraid it won't work, Han Yuwu has both virtue and talent, and Shi Mou in the county hall will give it away, so it's inconvenient to bother"
Han Shizhong was about to scold, but Han Wang said, "Shi Cheng, what do you want?" ”
"Xiongzhou City will give it to you, the convoy will also be given to you, and thousands of people and horses will also be sent, but I beg the royal martial arts network to open up and let us return to the north" Shi Cheng's face is not red and his heart is not beating, as long as he can save his life, money, people, status, and reputation are all floating clouds.
Han Wang looked at Shi Cheng's dozen subordinates, and suddenly laughed, "Do you still have the capital to bargain with me?" ”
Shi Cheng didn't speak, just beckoned to the guards.
There was a sudden sound of beating, scolding and pushing in the house, and several guards escorted seven or eight old and young people out with knives and guns, and ordered them to kneel down with knives and guns. These women and children could not bear the fierce intimidation, and immediately wept and cried.
"Shi Cheng, what are you doing to embarrass these women and children?" Han Shizhong frowned, and said disdainfully, "You are also a man in Yandi, how can you do such a thing?"
"Chief Han, don't get me wrong, these are Shi Mou's filial piety to Lord Yuwu," Shi Cheng pointed to the family and said, "Adults have the virtue of a good life, save this group of people, and their fame will rise, and they will definitely be added to the rank of knight."
You're a deflated three, and you actually play hostage games with labor and management? Who are you pitting if you don't pit you?
"Shi Cheng, you have a heart." Han Wang nodded, "However, Han Mou has always been the most fair, how many people you let go, I will let a few people go." This is your last chance."
Shi Cheng opened his mouth and stammered, there are more than a dozen of his righteous sons and guards, and this family is only eight babies in swaddling clothes, so it is not that half of the people want to stay, and no one will stay!
Han Wang said kindly, "Come with me, escort you to the outside of the city, you can always believe in Han's sincerity" Pulling Han Shizhong to turn his head and walk out, he ordered his subordinates to disperse.
Shi Cheng didn't believe that Han Wang would let him leave so easily, but the chance to survive was right in front of him, no matter what, he would take a gamble and get out of the city first.
On the road outside the courtyard, the six soldiers were surrounded by swords and guns, and more than a dozen guards escorted the hostages and Shi Cheng out of the courtyard, all nervous; For fear that Han Wang's order would be fired.
Han Wang pinched Han Shizhong, "Liangchen, help Master Shi bring the horses, remember to only bring eight horses!" ”
Han Shizhong's eyes lit up, and he took the two of them in for a short time, pulled eight horses out, and followed behind slowly.
Shi Cheng finally decided to take the east gate, after all, there were few Song soldiers and horses over there, and thirty-four miles to the east would enter the territory of Liao, as long as they entered Liao, would the Song army dare to provoke?
Han Wang pointed to the east gate and said, "Please ask Lord Shi to disarm his subordinates and surrender, otherwise the transaction will be invalidated."
Shi Cheng had no choice but to step forward to let the Han army surrender, and couldn't help but chant, "Brothers, I Shi Cheng will go back and set up an immortal tablet for you, the gods and Bodhisattvas will bless me, return to Yizhou safely, and I will give you a golden body!" ”
Due to Shi Cheng's order, the handover of the East Gate Tower was smooth, and he went out of the city with three righteous sons and fourteen personal guards, and Shi Cheng was still struggling with the question of who to take away.
Han Wang sent people to get in touch with more than 1,000 western troops outside the East Gate Tower, explained the situation, and took the East Gate Tower without bloodshed, and the Western Army was also happy, so they directly drove into Xiongzhou and took over the key points as Han Wang said.
"Han Yuwu really believes in people!" Outside the city, a single western army was gone, and Shi Cheng was obviously relieved, and singled out seven of Yizi and the most powerful personal guards. Shi Cheng swore to the rest of his relatives that he would try to rescue them when he returned to Yizhou, and treat their parents and family well.
After placing the left-behind personnel, Shi Cheng hugged his fists and said, "Just the eight of us, there is a reunion in the landscape, thank you in person another day!" ”
"Slow" Han Wang put a stick of incense on the ground, "I'll give you a stick of incense time, when the incense is extinguished, it will be the beginning of my pursuit!" ”
Shi Cheng took the reins of the horse from Han Shizhong's hand, turned over on the horse, and whipped away, and he laughed proudly, "A certain vertical and horizontal Yanyun has been chasing for decades, just come if you want to chase it!" ”
A pillar of incense was extinguished, and the guards left by Shi Cheng simply surrendered immediately; Since he is an abandoned son, he must have the consciousness of an abandoned son and save his life first.
The rescued hostages escaped death and kowtowed in front of Han Wang to thank him. Han Wang helped the family up one by one, comforted them with kind words, and asked the soldiers to escort them home.
Han Shizhong smiled and said, "Yuwu, let's arrest Shi Cheng'er." ”
Han Wang looked at the direction Shi Cheng had fled, "How far can they run?" ”
"Every horse, I stuffed croton, and I had to be dehydrated for seven or eight miles, and I couldn't run far." Han Shizhong's eyebrows fluttered, "This old thief still wants to go back to Yizhou, and wait for me to capture him."
"Go, bring back the head of the old thief!" Han Wang turned around and went back to the city, there were still a lot of things to deal with below, just let Han Wu do it.
As the head of the Han army, Shi Cheng will inevitably be full of evil, and he will simply eliminate harm for the people, and he doesn't care about that little bit of over-migration.
Han Wang entered the city and went straight to the county office, which was the core of disposing of things, and Xiong Da was also waiting, but his left hand was wrapped in gauze and he was injured. Concerned asked, "What's wrong with the hand?" ”
"Rub some flesh and skin, it won't get in the way." Xiong Da spat at the mouth, embarrassed and said, "Stone has been forced by me to jump off the wall, and he was caught by an arrow,"
"Go down and scrub with alcohol, and then apply the wound medicine, now it's hot, be careful of infection!" Han Wang reminded him, and then asked, "You are already the deputy commander, don't rush forward as soon as you fight, you go up, who will command and dispatch behind?" ”
"Hehe, I didn't hold back, not next time! The West Gate Tower was taken by me and the Western Army, and General Yang of the camp outside the city also said that it was nine out of ten," Xiong Da hesitated for a moment and said it. "There is no news about Li Qing's convoy so far, so I'm really worried."
Han Wang remembered the twelve carts of floating wealth, but there were 300,000 yuan, and if he smoked 20% of the oil and water, there were also 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. Watching Xiongzhou City come down, there must be no shortage of prisoners, no matter how you say it, you have to recruit two hundred people, don't think about anything if you don't have money.
"You take people to reinforce quickly, and you must bring Li Qing back with people and cars" Shi Qiao took a hundred cavalry, and Li Qing only had fifty cavalry; If Li Qing makes a mistake in dealing with it, he may be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, and his brother's life is the most valuable!
He and Li Qing were the first to join Han Wang's team, and they had a good relationship on weekdays, so Xiong Da immediately took someone to find Li Qing.
Prisoner registration and registration, fire fighting and people, inventory of arsenal grain stations, and county government sorting all require manpower, but fortunately, the east and west gatehouses are solved quickly.
