Haoyan County is only a small county, and the city wall is built of loess, and it is dilapidated, and it is extremely simple.

The county seat was previously owned by the Han family. As a nomadic people, the Huns were still not accustomed to guarding one place except for the royal court, which had a fixed city in the royal court. Therefore, this city has not been paid attention to by the Han family, and it has always been such a dilapidated appearance.

When Li Zheng's cavalry arrived in Luyan, the entire dilapidated and desolate city immediately became a rumor.

About thousands of Hun cavalry, after a while, rushed out of the city and blocked in front of Li Zheng's army.

Li Zheng held the spear, and his eyes were cold.

He could clearly feel the panic and uneasiness of the thousands of Hun cavalry hundreds of paces away. In the face of the majestic war horse, the Hun cavalry was like a chicken facing an eagle, so helpless.

Li Zheng waved his hand, and a team of Qingjia warriors stepped forward and shouted in unison: "Listen to the Huns on the opposite side, quickly dismount and surrender, otherwise the chickens and dogs will not stay!" ”

This kind of persuasion is not a superficial effort.

There's a point to it.

Now Li Zheng is strong, and the Xiongnu are weak. When the strength and weakness are clear, it is possible to force them to surrender without blood.

If they surrender, they can also reduce unnecessary casualties. After all, there are thousands of Hun cavalry, although they are weak, but they are not paper-based, and they can always cause some damage to their own side if they fight hard.

If there is a chance to win without a single soldier, why not?

Listening to the shouts of Li Zheng's subordinates, the Huns on the opposite side were in a commotion.

Just that big banner with the word 'Li' has already made all the Huns tremble, not to mention that they are facing a fierce war horse that they have never seen before!?

Li Zheng's murderous reputation can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

So when they heard the shouting, the Huns were shaken.

In a few moments, a horse slowly came out of the ranks, and when it was a stone's throw away, he shouted in broken Chinese: "We can surrender, but you must ensure the safety of us and our people!" ”

Li Zhengce immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Huns, you are not qualified to put forward conditions!" Dismounting and surrendering unconditionally is the best choice, otherwise it will be too late to regret it! ”

When the Huns heard this, they became agitated again.

The shouter hesitated for a moment and shouted, "I want to know who you are?!" ”

"Haha" Li Zheng laughed: "I am Li Chongxiao, the pastor of Liangzhou and the general of the expedition to the west!" ”

Suddenly, the Huns on the opposite side were in an uproar.

When the shouter heard this, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly said, "May it fall!" ”

With that, he turned over and dismounted, and crawled on the ground. Behind him, when the thousands of Hun cavalry saw this, they also turned over and dismounted, looking at Li Zheng and prostrate down.

"Those who know the times are Junjie, you are good!" Li Zheng waved his hand, led the war horse to slowly approach, looked condescendingly at the Hun leader who was shouting, and said: "Now I appoint you as a military candidate, and immediately go down to collect weapons and horses, and restrain the troops." Remember, if there is a troublemaker, there will be no forgiveness, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

"Whoa!"

Then the army entered the city and spent the night in the county seat. When the leader of the Xiongnu restrained his subordinates properly, Li Zheng summoned him, inquired about some information, and had a detailed understanding of the entire extravagance.

Although the Xiongnu were the main ones before the luxury, there were still many free Han people, scattered in the corners of this land, in the shape of a village.

After all, the upper county is under the rule of the state, and the luxury is also a regular county government. Even if the Han court was weak, and the department of the Hun Zhonglang General gradually weakened and lost their control, the strong survival ability of the Han people still made it difficult for them to survive in this land.

As for this county, there is no Han people, but several small tribes jointly control.

After listening to this person's detailed words, Li Zheng pondered for a moment, stared at him with clear eyes, and said, "Since you are committed to me, there is no difference between races. From now on, you are also Han Chinese. Today, when you know the current affairs, I will give you a few small tribes naturalization. After going down, immediately announce this policy, remember, and change the name of Han! ”

As the Xiongnu tribe close to Li Zheng's territory, they know a lot about Li Zheng's territory. The level of household registration is naturally known.

I thought that I would become a slave like most Huns, but I didn't expect it to be naturalized, and immediately, he was excited.

bowed down again and again, swore an oath of allegiance to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng laughed, waved his hand, and asked again: "So, how much do you know about the entire Shangjun?" What is the situation in the cities such as Fushi and Gaonu? ”

This person didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said that he knew it like pouring beans.

Li Zheng listened while comparing the information from the intelligence system, and finally nodded with satisfaction and waved the person away.

The entire Upper County, like the information obtained by the intelligence system, is basically in a state of anarchy.

Not to mention some county governance such as Gaonu, even the county governance is almost blank. Of course, this is just the administrative state.

As a county governor, there are many Han people living in it, and now those who control the city are some of the powerful families in the city. Several county towns in the northern part of the county, such as Qiuzi and Baitu, were completely deserted. The high slaves in the south were occupied by a nest of bandits. The carving yin and fixed yang south of Gao Nu are in the hands of Dong Zhuo!

Li Zheng's plan was to occupy Haoyan first, then go east to Fushi, and then go south to capture Gaonu.

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, before dawn, more than 20,000 foot soldiers and 5,000 auxiliary soldiers escorting food arrived in Haoyan. He was accompanied by several scribes, all of whom were shrewd and capable people selected by Xun Yu from the ministry.

At the moment, Li Zheng appointed a scribe as the county commander of Luyan, presided over the government affairs of the people's livelihood in Luyan, and assigned a group of soldiers to guard Luyan and cooperate with the county order to control Luyan.

Subsequently, 6,000 foot soldiers were divided, and three scribes were led by each of them, and they went to the north to take Qiuzi, Baitu, and Zhenlin, and appointed these three as the county commanders of the three counties.

After making detailed arrangements, Li Zheng let his soldiers rest for a long time, and at the end of the afternoon, he immediately set up his troops and headed east.

At nightfall, the army marched outside the city of Fushi.

But there was a head of a wealthy and powerful family, with the gentlemen of the city, who was outside the city to greet him.

When I saw Li Zheng, I tried my best to praise it, and I looked obedient.

Presumably, these people should have received some information about extravagance, and they knew that they had no choice but to submit. So Li Zheng appointed a scribe to serve as the county commander of Fushi, and left two songs and 1,000 elite soldiers to guard Fushi and cooperate with the county order to take power. The army rested in Fushi for the whole night, and the next morning, they turned south and went straight to Gaonu.

After an hour's rapid march, 7,400 war cavalry and 10,000 elite foot soldiers arrived at a town called Qiaomen on the shore of the Zouma Water.

An hour's rapid march was nothing to the war horse, but the foot soldiers were already a little tired. If it is according to the normal speed, with the physique of Liangzhou elite soldiers, it is a day of walking, and you will not feel too tired, but to catch up with the war cavalry, the physical energy consumed is too great.

Sitting on Qingyun's back, Li Zheng looked into the distance, looked back at the slightly tired footmen, and frowned slightly.

After thinking about it, he shouted: "Come on, call me the captains of the infantry battalions!" ”

In just a moment, 10,000 foot soldiers and five lieutenants arrived in front of Li Zheng and saluted with fists.

"The soldiers are very fast, according to my plan, after an hour, we must rush to Gaonu. But it was difficult for the foot soldiers to keep up with the pace of the war horse, so you waited for five people, and then led the army here to rest for a while, and the general himself led the war horse to take it as the front! You will follow later, and you must rush to the high slave at noon! ”

When the five lieutenants heard this, they all clenched their fists and agreed.

Li Zheng nodded, waved the spear in his hand, and shouted: "All the war horses, march quickly, go!" ”

The bandits who occupied Gaonu were originally entrenched in the Tongtian Mountains in the east. Last year, the White Wave Thieves fought with Lu Bu, the great leader Guo Tai was killed in battle, and the rest were dispersed, withdrew from the Baibo Valley area, and retreated to Tongtian Mountain. So there was a conflict with the bandits in the Tongtian Mountain.

Although the White Wave Thieves were defeated by Lu Bu and were as panicked as a lost dog, they were not able to withstand the thousands of thieves in Tongtian Mountain.

I can't bear it, this wave of bandits can only withdraw from the old nest and settle west in the territory of Shangjun. Later, it was discovered that the high slave had no control, so he occupied the high slave and thought it was a nest.

After all, bandits are bandits, and there is a world of difference between them and the regular army.

When Li Zheng led the army to the city of Gaonu, the bandits in the city reacted and did not even close the city gate.

After a rain of arrows, the Qingjia War Cavalry swept away the slight bandits at the city gate.

Li Zheng looked at the north gate of Gaonu, which was full of arrows, the corners of his mouth curled, he laughed, and shouted: "All the departments listen to the order, and the mountain wolf riding department is divided into two, one immediately detours to the south gate, enters from the south gate, and the other detours to the east gate and enters from the east gate!" The Qingjia War Cavalry Department detoured to the West Gate and entered from the West Gate! This general led the Destroying Blade War Horse and the Golden Wing Tiger Horse, and entered the North Gate from now on! The commanders of all departments should pay attention, if not a single bandit is let go, those who surrender will not die, and those who resist will not be killed! ”

"Whoa!"

The war horses of all the divisions shouted loudly, and under the leadership of the commander, they quickly split out of the battle formation, and each roared away in their respective directions!

"The Golden Winged Tiger rode into the city, attacked from the air, disrupted the order of the bandits in the city, and tried not to make them assemble!"

"Destroy the front cavalry and listen to the order, hold the gun! With this general, kill! ”

"Kill!"

The four hundred golden-winged tiger riders roared in unison, like a golden floating cloud, and instantly drifted into the city.

Thundered!

Five hundred devastating front war horses, as if they were one, started together, leaned over together, raised guns together, lined up in a long snake formation, Li Zheng was in front, and the war horses were behind, and they smashed into the Gaonu city gate!
