In the city, Gao Huan was sitting in front of the desk in civilian clothes, Wu Yichang and several officials were tied up in the hall, and Gao Huan was carefully checking the list of personnel and materials in the city.

Anping City, with a population of more than 27,600 people, 40,000 stone of military rations, enough ordnance and equipment to equip 5,000 men and horses, nearly 500 horses, and nearly 3,000 taels of silver in the storehouse, not counting other gold, silver, jewelry, and silk cloth. Gao Huan's heart is full of joy, the feeling of changing from a beggar to a tyrant in this moment, the key is that now there are people under his rule who have a city and a place to settle down, which is not something that can be described just by saying that he has confidence.

Gao Huan only had three things on his mind at this time: first, how to arrange the personnel who dealt with the captives, second, how to reward his subordinates, and third, how to return to Ge Rong's side.

"General Wu, is there anything else to say so far?" Gao Huan looked at Wu Yichang with a mocking expression, and the scene of capturing Gao Huan alive that he had said before now became Wu Yichang and became a prisoner.

"Hmph, you're just a treacherous trick, aren't you a hero?" Wu Yichang's face was unconvinced.

"General Wu's words are wrong, don't care if the black cat and the white cat can catch mice, you are a good cat, you are a hero, aren't you also caught by me." Gao Huan's face suddenly changed, as if he was about to get angry.

"If you want to kill, you will kill, why is there so much nonsense, it is also my life to fall into the hands of you and other anti-thieves, I am only afraid that the army of Erzhu Shangshushuai will come to Japan, and you will all die without a place to be buried." Wu Yichang looked at Gao Huan with an indignant expression.

"Hehe, even then, I'm afraid that the old general won't have a chance to see our bones gone?" Gao Huan is still in the mood to fight with the old thief, and if he loses, he will have a hard mouth and stinky stinking shelf.

"Hmph, if you want to kill, you have to scrape and listen to the respect." Wu Yichang snorted coldly and turned his head silently.

"Good!" Gao Huan stood up and shouted, and before he could say the second half of a sentence, he saw several officials and generals in the audience kneeling down and begging for mercy. This was a bit surprising to Gao Huan. I'm too scared to die.

"That's it, Nian was also the parent official of the people of this city before you, and you didn't do anything hurtful, so let you go back and reunite with your family today." Gao Huan said with a relaxed face.

Li Erhu and Guan Yiguan and others in the audience said in unison: "Boss, don't let them go." ”

The few captured people, except for Wu Yichang, knelt down and kowtowed to Gao Huan, and kept saying: "Lord Xie's grace not to kill, Lord Xie's grace not to kill." ”

"You don't have to thank me, after you go home, reflect on it, now the court officials are dark because of the traitorous ministers who take power and villains are in charge, confusing the holy hearing, you are all above us, go back and introspect and act, so as to do it yourself. If you have the opportunity, you should be loyal to the country. After saying this, everyone in the hall said yes with red ears and red mouths, and even the little girl Ruyi who was waiting on the side also heard it. Gao Huan's image in the hearts of his subordinates suddenly became a little greater.

After escorting Wu Yichang and the others out of the door, Gao Huan turned his head and said to Li Erhuguan and the others in the hall: "How about the brothers? Prepare for the celebration banquet, and in the evening, we will eat wine in a big bowl and divide the gold and silver, right? Hahaha......"

"Good!" The hall was applauded instantly, and everyone liked this promotion and fortune. Gao Huan was also very happy, everyone was also desperate to win Anping City.

"Where's the herald?" While Gao Huan was happy with everyone, he also did not forget that there was one more important thing to do.

Overjoyed, Gao Huan's ability to graduate from a bachelor's degree in the previous life was vividly displayed in the military report to Ge Rong, the content was nothing more than that he led the army to take Anping after a difficult battle, but suffered heavy losses, and hoped that Ge Rong could continue to send money and food to support him. I have to say that Gao Huan learned badly and learned the ancients' routine of yang and yin and violating the void and wronging snakes.

Anping City is already in the hands of Gao Huan, and the notice of Anmin has also been posted, the city has gradually returned to normal in the past few days, and it has not caused much damage when it attacked the city.

Gao Huan first asked Li Erhu to lead 1,500 people to take down several small cities in the north and west of the county one by one, and then sent two brothers, Guan Yi and Guan Er, to lead people to open up the official road connecting the southeast of the county to Jizhou, in preparation for the later attack on Jizhou. By the way, he exterminated two bandits entrenched near the official road. In this way, the entire Anping County can be regarded as completely and completely in the hands of Gao Huan.

Now Gao Huan has money, food and people, and he is also a rich man, but he is not satisfied, first of all, several states and counties in the south are all in the hands of the government, and Er Zhurong's forces are also in the south of Ye County, the capital of Xiangzhou, and he is ready to move, and Xiao Anping can't stop these hundreds of thousands of troops at all. The separatist forces entrenched in the east and west are also eyeing Gao Huan's piece of fat.

"I'm bringing you together today to discuss with you: What are we going to do next?" Gao Huan fiddled with a jade porcelain bowl in front of the desk, which was one of the tributes he planned to give to Ge Rong.

Li Erhu has now been promoted to the rank of cavalry commander in a row, and his voice is louder: "Big brother, in my opinion, the most important thing for us now is to recruit some more men and horses with the king, occupy several nearby states and counties first, and slowly become bigger." ”

Guan Yi Guan and Guan Er are now promoted to marching horses, and the new officers have taken up three fires, and they are now training recruits in the army. Regarding Li Erhu's speech, the two brothers nodded in agreement for no reason.

"Alas, I think this can't be done, the most important thing now is to consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan, how many people can we recruit in our current grain and grass reserves?" Gao Huan turned his face and asked the grain and grass pipe.

"With the current number of our army, it can still support it for half a year, and if we continue to recruit more people, it may ...... Food and grass are scarce. The grain and grass pipe said with a look of embarrassment.

"You see, our foundation is still too thin to even raise a decent army." Gao Huan said a little frustratedly.

"What's so difficult about this, the grain and grass are not enough, the eldest brother will go to the nearby states and counties to rob and rob, as long as there is land and grain and grass, people and horses will continue to come and run." The little girl interjected on the side.

"Yo he, I didn't see it, you little girl knows a lot about films." Li Erhu looked at Ruyi a little incredulously.

"Ruyi girl will be powerful, you can think of it." Guan Yi hurriedly patted his ass, Guan Er saw that he didn't catch up, and looked at his brother Guan Yi anxiously in annoyance. The two brothers can see that they like Ruyi, a little girl.

Gao Huan said in surprise: "Just you ghost elf, can you intervene in this matter?" Little girl, don't you want to cook for us? His eyes widened. The Ruyi little girl pouted and snorted and left.

"It's not rough, big brother, what the little girl said is quite reasonable." Li Erhu seemed to listen to Ruyi's words.

"Well, I have an idea in my heart when you say this, and you come with your ears." Gao Huan looked mysterious.

Gao Huan sent people to send an official letter of Qi to the surrounding counties, whether it was the righteous army or the officers and soldiers guarding the counties, and brought the account book, roster and big seal to Anping for review within three days. It's a pity that everyone thinks that this Gao Huan is a braggart, and no one in the nearby counties pays attention to him.

Is this worth it? I didn't take our tall officials seriously at all. On this day, Gao Huan gathered in the council chamber to discuss the preparation for the attack.

"Erhu, you bring all the cavalry with me, Guan Er brings the three thousand foot soldiers we brought from Cangzhou, and Guan Yi and my personal guards are left in the city, as well as the thousands of new recruits who have been recruited recently, and it should be no problem to defend the city. This time, we went to attack Changle City, where the capital of Jizhou Prefecture is located. Gao Huan said to everyone with confidence. The reason why Jizhou was taken is because there is money and food there, and the key Changle is guarded by nearly 30,000 heavy soldiers, as long as Changle can be defeated, there is no reason why the surrounding counties should not surrender.

"The last general obeys!" Everyone is habitually willing to obey Gao Huan's scheduling, starting from robbing Qian Daguan, although Gao Huan's command every time cannot be said to be perfect, but all of them have won and never lost.

Without much to say, Gao Huan took Li Erhu and Guan Er, ordered all the people, hung up the handsome flag, and 5,000 people and horses rushed to Changle County, Jizhou.

Encountered a few small cities along the way, almost did not do anything to resist and took it, all the way south to the army to Fuliu City, this Fuliu City is the outpost of Changle, as long as Fuliu City is taken, Changle is equal to the door is wide open, there is no resistance to the gift, so in Fuliu City Jizhou Thorn Shi Xun Daozhi stationed nearly 20,000 troops, led by the general Liu Xia Ash. Don't be misled by his name, this willow ash is a reckless man who is addicted to alcohol, and he is stationed at such an important pass, and he actually does not divide his troops to guard it.

Gao Huan looked at Fuliu City in front of him, and wanted to repeat his old tricks, so that Guan Er could take people around the mountains and forests to Fuliu City. In front of the front army, Li Erhu rode a war horse majestically, ready to face Liu Xiashen.

That Li Erhu usually looks violent, but he is a foreigner, and Liu Xia Gray this trick, lost in a few rounds, Liu Xia Gray rushed up and almost captured Gao Huan alive, fortunately Gao Huan was a fast man and chicken thief, seeing that the situation was not right, he ran into the barracks early, and Liu Xia Ash was injured by the archers in the camp and had to retreat. Li Erhu then came back with the stragglers in disarray. This battle can only be said to be a draw between the two families.

On this day, Gao Huan was worried about not being able to break through Fuliu City, and suddenly remembered that Liu Xia Ash who dared to fight and kill, and came up with a clever plan in his heart. hurriedly called Li Erhu, Guan Er and the others, and ordered them like this.

In the coming day, Gao Huan personally went into battle, and the gray face of the willow on the opposite side was full of beard, and he scolded loudly: "Straight lady thief, you couldn't beat me the day before yesterday, and today you came to seek death?" Well, see that I have captured all of them today and handed them over to Lord Thorn Shi for reward. After saying that, he patted the horse and waved the knife to fight with Gao Huan, Gao Huan couldn't help but complain, this guy may not be able to stop it, but he can't retreat when he is in battle, so he has to bite the bullet and pat the horse out of battle.

The two horses greeted each other, only to hear a sparks splashing, Gao Huan only felt a huge pain in the tiger's mouth, and the spear in his hand almost fell to the ground. Seeing this, Liu Xia Ash was willing to let go, but he only felt that today's Gao Huan was not as good as Li Erhu the day before yesterday, and then he became bolder, and rode a horse to chase Gao Huan. said

The two of them rode farther and farther away, and they were almost invisible.

Gao Huan looked back at Liu Xiashen, who was already close at hand, and shouted anxiously: "Erhu, Guan Er still hasn't come out to help?" ”

I only heard a sudden sound, and the gray under the willow behind him even tripped over the horse rope, and I didn't hear the cry of the gray under the willow, so I was tied up by Li Erhu and Guan Er and the five flowers.

Gao Huan turned around and wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said secretly in his heart: A good family is here, and he was almost captured alive by that guy.

The next thing was simple, without the command of Liu Xia Ash, the 20,000 horses in Fuliu City fled and surrendered, and they scattered as birds and beasts.

After knocking on the door of Jizhou to Fuliucheng, Gao Huan took a short rest and set off for Changle on the same day as handsome Li Erhu and others (Guan Er was left to garrison Fuliucheng, which is also Gao Huan's back road for himself)

Under the city of Changle, Gao Huan bundled nearly 5,000 troops (plus the newly recruited) to prepare for battle, and the two people on the city tower looked at Gao Huan under the city with sad faces.

"Lord Thorn Shi, I persuaded you earlier and you refused, how can you speak today?" Gao Huan bowed his hand under the city.

"You rebellious ministers and thieves, how can the old man, as an official of the court, surrender to you?" Now that Xun Daozhi is still dead, he has to save face and suffer the crime.

"My lord, to this day you are still obsessed, I advise you to come down and surrender now, so that the people of the city will not suffer and their lives will be ruined. I'll give you a good place to go. Gao Huan kindly persuaded.

I only heard a shout, and a flying arrow grazed Gao Huan's helmet, I wipe, you dare to make a dark arrow hurt people! Gao Huan turned his horse back, very angry in his heart.

On the city tower, Nangong Bo said loudly: "The thieves in the city listen well, and there is a lot of gossip." Tomorrow our two armies will come down and kill him. ”

"Nima, if you don't let you speak, you want to hurt people with secret arrows? Well, tomorrow I will slaughter you old horseman before the battle. Gao Huan said.
