Hundreds of people swarmed in, all of them lazy and untalented, everyone opened their eyes angrily, raised their knives and guns, cut people when they saw them, and stabbed them when they encountered them. Not far from the outside of the city, three horns sounded very cooperatively at this time, and then countless black shadows burst in, all of which were shiny and shiny iron tools. Li Qi was dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded. The gap in my heart is too big, I originally thought that Li Gang defeated the Yizhou army and captured the shocking good news of Ji County, but in the blink of an eye, the scheming Yang Zhubo turned his face and didn't recognize people. Everything around was chaotic, but in Li Qi's eyes, everything seemed so slow and quiet, Li Qi had completely lost his perception of his surroundings, there was no shouting and killing, and there were no enemies running wildly. Li Qi slowly turned his face, and all he saw was a small cold light, which was an arrow. Li Qi fell, and the whole person fell down the city wall and fell directly outside the city.

Yang Fu smiled under the city gate, and was killed by another arrow, Li Gang's father and son were really fateful, and both of them died under Huang Yan's arrow in a daze. Yang Fu didn't have time to praise, so he shouted when he saw the opportunity: "The enemy general is dead, hold the city gate." "Yang Fu's purpose is to stick to the city gate with this little bit of people, knowing that Gao Shun and others rushed here, but now that Li Qi is dead, it really makes the defenders of Tianshui panic. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, how many of these people are the henchmen of the Li family's father and son? Most of them were just ordinary soldiers, and now when I looked up, Li Qisheng saw no one dead or a corpse, and the enemy troops rushing over in the distance were there in the blink of an eye, and everyone was in chaos.

Why are you a soldier? Most places in the Central Plains are conscripted into the army, but this part of Xiliang is not the same, the people here put down their weapons are the people, and they are soldiers when they pick up weapons. Years of chaos have made many low-level people unable to understand what is right and what is wrong, what is the righteousness of the court, what else and so on, they can't care, as long as they have food, they can do it. Anyone with a weapon is nothing more than a tool for the leaders and generals, and they don't know why this battle is fought. Before they went, they went because they had food and rewards, and when they fought, they worked hard because they wanted to survive, and as for the rest, why, they didn't need to know.

As soon as Li Qi died, it was impossible to win, and the defenders of Tianshui were more likely to run back, run home to pick up things and escape from another city gate, or take off their clothes and change their outfits, in short, there were not many people who were still thinking about desperately at this time. Two rows, Yang Fu Ding was only enough to line up in two rows at the city gate, Huang Yan stood behind the gap between the two soldiers, holding a bow, and specially selected conspicuous arrows, every time he shot out, one person fell before he had time to wail. Those who are high in martial arts, have a loud voice, and shout to attack, as long as they are targeted by Huang Yan, there is no way to hide. What Huang Yan has in his hand is not a bow, and what he shoots out is not an arrow, but an order from the god of death, and anyone who receives it will surely die.

"Mr. Yang get out of the way." Gao Shun's loud roar sounded behind Yang Fu, Yang Fu did not have an official position officially appointed by Chen Lin now, and most people looked at Yang Fu as a literati, so Gao Shun shouted Mr. When Yang Fu heard the sound, he looked back and saw that the trapped camp was rushing to the forefront, less than thirty steps away from the city gate. Yang Fu patted Huang Yan on the back and shouted at the same time: "Disperse and let the army enter the city." With a whin, two rows of soldiers who were struggling to support each other suddenly ran to both sides. The enemy troops attacking on the opposite side suddenly felt their eyes light up, thinking that Yang Fu couldn't withstand it, so they hurriedly rushed forward. As a result, within two steps, I saw the black spear and steel knife at the city gate rushing towards this side. Wow a strange scream, no matter how you Xiaoxiao Sima and others shouted, they fled back one after another, and finally three or two Sima Tun who rode horses or something, also scolded and turned their horses and ran away.

Chen Lin looked at Gao Shun and entered the city smoothly, smiled easily, Tianshui, take it. Fa Zheng: "My lord, Yang Yishan has made a lot of contributions, even if the lord is entrusted with a heavy responsibility now, presumably others have nothing to say." Chen Lin smiled: "Filial piety, nothing is full of you kid." ”

Fa Zheng laughed: "The lord loves talents, everyone knows that Yang Yishan is young and wise, and resourceful, but the lord has successively asked this person to do such a dangerous task as deception, isn't it doubtful, except that the lord wants to give this person the opportunity to make meritorious service openly, he really can't think of any other reason." After Chen Lin listened, he laughed, Fa Zheng gradually became more sophisticated with Jia Xu and Zhang Song, and the observation of affairs was more in place, and Chen Lin couldn't help but be happy. Thinking of coming to Longxi this time, not only did he have Jiang Xu, but also accepted a young man like Yang Fu, who was both civil and military, Chen Lin was in a good mood. Greeted: "Zhou Cang, go, go into the city, empty this place, and we will go back to Ji County." ”

Emptying, this is a plan that Fa Zheng, Yang Fu and others agree with, and resolutely do not leave any useful things for Li Dao and Guo Yan. Chen Lin wanted to eat Xiliang in one go, it was best to fight to Chang'an and pacify Guanzhong, even if he retreated 10,000 steps, west of Ji County, no one would want to snatch it from Chen Lin. Xiliang is sparsely populated, and Chen Lin even plans to forcibly leave the tens of thousands of people who transport grain and grass in Longxi to settle down to enrich the population of Longxi, but it is not yet the final outcome, and Chen Lin did not mention it.

When Li Gang was there, Tianshui was a situation where there were more soldiers than people, and the population of the entire Tianshui County was less than 4,000, which saved Chen Lin a lot of trouble. Chen Lin rode slowly towards Tianshui County, Yan Yan and others had already begun to encircle and suppress the people who resisted everywhere in the city, only to see Yang Fu leaning against the wall and looking at Chen Lin. Chen Lin was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Yishan, are you injured?" Can it be severe? Chen Lin's anxious expression was all from the heart, which moved Yang Fu's heart for a while, and he stood up straight and said: "Lord, don't get in the way, I'm not injured, I'm tired." ”

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, hahaha laughed, at this time Jiang Xu also came up from behind, Yang Fu saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward: "General Jiang, Yishan has offended under the city of Ji County." Everyone remembered the scene when Yang Fu scolded Jiang Xu in Ji County, and laughed again, but Jiang Xu's old face was red.

Not long after, Gao Shun and others came to report: "My lord, the city has been cleared, there are more than 1,400 people in the city, 430 people have been annihilated, 540 people have been captured, and the rest have fled, Li Gang's son Li Qi has been shot by Huang Tong, and the family members who have left home have been guarded, and none of them have escaped." ”

Chen Lin glanced at Gao Shun, his movements were quite fast, and even the Li family's family didn't run away, Fa Zheng heard it and said: "Lord, Li Gang's father and son are dead, Li Gang is not a character, forget about the daughters of the Li family." Chen Lin heard this: "Okay, then let it go, and set an example to the people of Xiliang." Gao Shun. ”

"In" "I order you to immediately count the granary and treasury of Tianshui, and report it after an hour, without mistake." ”

"Yan Yan, I order you to immediately check the population in the city, there are several households, how many people there are, and report back after an hour, there must be no mistakes."

"Jiang Xu, I order you to lead your troops to immediately go into the logging to build a car, and you must get a thousand cars within an hour, and there must be no mistakes."

The three generals hurriedly agreed, Chen Lin's plan to lay down Tianshui and want to empty Tianshui As a general, they naturally knew it, but looking at Chen Lin's posture, it seemed that he didn't want to stay in Tianshui for longer.

To say that from Qishan out of Xiliang, into the pass, there are three places are the most important, one is to defend the north of Di Dao, Di Dao can go straight to Anding, you can also go north to Jincheng, Di Dao is almost a traffic artery extending in all directions, so although Li Dao Guo Yan did not leave too many soldiers and horses in Xiliang, but left thousands of troops in Di Dao. The other is Ji County, Ji County can block the passage of the Guanzhong army to Longxi, Li Wei's original intention was to ask Li Gang to hold the main road of Ji County, but he didn't expect Li Gang to be greedy for the more prosperous environment of Tianshui, and put most of his troops in Tianshui, so that Jiang Xu had no choice but to want Duan Chen Lin to retreat, and Ji County was lost.

The last crucial geographical location is a place called Street Pavilion, Street Pavilion is a mountainous area, but the Street Pavilion is on Di Road, down Tianshui, it can be said that Di Dao and Ji County are small defenses, and Street Pavilion is the middle road of the entire Xiliang, Street Pavilion is the place where Chen Lin must take if he wants to occupy Xiliang. However, the street pavilion is not important in peacetime, and only in time of war is the best battlefield, because it is small, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Not much to say, the people of Tianshui were first frightened by the fierce fighting and did not dare to go out, and then saw a warrior in fresh clothes and armor knocking on the door, driving the whole family, saying that they were going to move to Longxi. You must know that the people on the land of China are all people who have relocated to their land, no matter how hard and difficult it is, these people are very reluctant to live in their own homes. Many people began to resist and began to resist, Chen Lin frowned and thought for a while when he heard the return, then raised his head and asked: "Filial piety, Tianshui is only a thousand households, if these people are given a month's food to each household, can our army afford it?" ”

When Fa Zheng heard this, he knew that Chen Lin wanted to use grain as bait, and Banwei * Office tempted these people to go to Longxi, Fa Zheng lowered his head and counted, a thousand households, not too many, there should be no problem, and Fa Zheng thought of Tianshui's warehouse. Fa Zheng thought for a while and said: "Lord, this method is feasible, there must be a lot of materials in the Tianshui Mansion, so it should be the cost of this relocation." ”

Seeing that Fa Zheng agreed, Chen Lin ordered the herald that the people of the whole city should be provided with a month's food by the government and a certain amount of money to be used to build a house in Longxi. With this statement, there was much less resistance, and the work of persuasion was carried out smoothly.

Jiang Xu's rough car began to come in handy, a family divided into a car, how many things can be taken away depends on your own skills, some families are single, the old man and children sit in the car, and the young one lifts the car and pushes it away, dashing, making people admire and scold the loser at the same time.

Until noon on the third day, Chen Lin raised his head and saw that the entire Tianshui County was quiet, and only two thousand soldiers and horses were left behind him. Chen Lin smiled and waved his hand: "Let's go." "Leaving an empty Tianshui City, I don't know what the expressions of Li Dao and Guo Yan will be when they arrive here a few days later.
