Quan Gaihong didn't sleep very well this night.

The Tang army stopped at the fork in the road, and it had been more than ten days since he did not advance or retreat, which was a big trouble for him. Although he comforted himself that if he held on for a few more days, when the next cold wave came, the Tang army would freeze to death if he didn't leave, but the actual situation was that the Tang people had brought a large amount of charcoal from Lushun, and it seemed that they were preparing to spend the winter at Sanchakou.

If the cold winter can't repel the Tang people, and when the spring flowers bloom, the Tang people will attack in a big way, and Beisha City will be even more difficult to support.

This kind of worry made Quan Gaihong's sleep very shallow, and some noise outside could wake him up.

Therefore, when the sound of killing was everywhere in Beisha City, he woke up as soon as possible: "Is the Tang army attacking?" ”

But no one responded outside, and it was almost midnight at midnight, even if there was someone on duty outside, and they couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, how could they dare to answer randomly?

Quan Gaihong got up in his clothes, worried in his heart, but still barely calm on his face, and called the servant to put on his armor, and only then did he put on the armor, and finally someone broke in.

"Thorn history, it's not good, it's not good, Luo Jiuhe is reversed"

The people who came in shouted with a crying voice, Quan Gaihong was shocked when he heard this, and reached out and took off the knife hanging on the wall: "I knew that Han'er was unreliable, but why did this guy suddenly turn around?" Could it be that Quan Li forced him too much, so that he had to rebel? ”

Thinking of Quan Li, his heart moved: "What about Quan Li, I will hand over the military power to him, and quickly call him to quell the chaos"

"General Quan has been killed a long time ago, Assassin Shi, run away, Luo Jiuhe has gathered the Han army, and he is about to come over here...... Thorn History, let's hurry up and escape through the east gate."

The north gate was originally in the hands of Luo Jiuhe, but now that he is in trouble, the north gate is not able to go, the south is the Tang army, and he can't go, and the only thing that can go is the east gate. Quan Gaihong heard that Quan Li was dead, and immediately understood that the general trend had gone, and no one could balance Luo Jiuhe anymore.

One of the attendants beside him was still lucky: "There are only eight or nine hundred Han soldiers in the city, and the most that can be collected by Luo Jiuhe in a hurry is five or six hundred, and the Goguryeo people are thousands." As long as the assassin rises to the heights, he will definitely be able to set things right...

"How could Luo Jiuhe not collude with the Tang Army," Quan Gaihong shouted.

What kind of people are around him, Luo Jiuhe dared to act suddenly, naturally he was in collusion with the Tang people, and he couldn't even think of this, and let himself climb high...... At this time, he ascended and shouted, which was clearly sending meat into the wolf's mouth

"Let's go, let's go......"

Caring about everything in the house, he snapped. Thinking of Gao Yincheng's fate, he shuddered in his heart, falling into the hands of the Tang people, how could his head be saved

But he took this small group of guards out of the mansion, and he was confronted by a black press of sergeants, the leader of which was a sword in one hand and a spear in the other, and the blades and spears were shining with a dark red luster, and I don't know whether it was stained with blood or reflected the light of the torches.

It was Luo Jiuhe, and he strode towards Quan Gaihong: "What does the assassin want to do?" ”

Quan Gaihong never thought that Luo Jiuhe would move so fast and kill him in such a short time. But when he looked at the soldiers following Luo Jiuhe, he suddenly understood, and his face changed greatly: "Tang Jun...... Entered the city

"So that the assassin will know that the Tang army has entered the city from the north gate an hour ago, and then followed me into the barracks. Now, in the city, except for a few people who do not know the times, they have been calmed down. Luo Jiuhe squinted his eyes and said.

"Luo Jiuhe, you traitor, I treat you well, you actually, you betrayed me?"

"Quanli's cronies have been recruited, and the assassin plans to dispose of him after the end of this battle." Luo Jiuhe stared at him: "Three generations of my family have worked for your Quan clan, if it weren't for my grandfather, where could your Quan clan become the lord of Beisha City, if it wasn't for my father, how could you inherit the position of Assassin History, if it wasn't for me, how could you command Jili Prefecture?" But how do people treat me well, do they want to punish me all over the house? ”

Quan Gaihong was dumbfounded, the three generations of Luo Jiuhe's family worked for their family, and more than six people died in the battle, if he said he was sorry, he was also sorry for Luo Jiuhe first.

"Come on, you traitor, just kill me to vent your anger, don't harm the people in the city......"

"If you are thinking about the people in the city, you should open the city as soon as possible to welcome the king, but at this time, what are you pretending to say?" Luo Jiuhedao: "As for yourself, you just have to rest assured, I pleaded with Ye Senjun, and he said that he would only send you back to Chang'an for resettlement"

"Ye joins the army?"

Quan Gaihong's eyes widened, when did Luo Jiuhe see Ye Chang? Could it be that Ye Chang has already entered the city with the army?

"Ye is here." In his surprise, he heard someone say, and then a young general came out from among the armies behind Luo Jiuhe.

Under the firelight, the young general looked heroic and bright, and his eyes were bright. Quan Gaihong looked at him, almost unable to believe that such a young man was Ye Chang.

"You...... How are you staying? Under Ye Chang's gaze, he was frightened, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he showed timidity when he opened his mouth.

"Yi'er's sin should have been punished in the canon, spread to the Quartet, and make those who dare to follow the example of the precept" Ye Chang said sharply: "Your accomplice Gao Yin Cheng is still dead, how can you live"

Quan Gaihong's knees went limp, and he almost sat down. He originally thought that he could be calm and calm in any situation, but he never wanted to be drunk by Ye Chang, and he was almost bold.

"However, General Luo is interceding for you in the old relationship, you are just a pig, in exchange for General Luo's service, Ye Mou has taken a big advantage." Ye Chang said again: "Therefore, spare your capital crime, send it to Chang'an, and sacrifice it to His Majesty."

This arrangement allowed Quan Gaihong to stand firm and not die, although he would lose power forever, but he finally left his life.

He could feel that Ye Chang really wanted to kill him, if it weren't for Luo Jiuhe, his life would be gone. When he looked at Luo Jiuhe again, his expression was a little complicated, although he still hated it, he couldn't scold it.

"Let your men lay down their arms, and I will not do any more killing." Ye Chang shouted again.

Quan Gaihong looked back and saw that there were only a dozen of his entourage, and all of them were as white as earth, and some of them threw their weapons on the ground without even waiting for him to give orders. He sighed: "Let's go, let's go, just follow Ye's order to join the army...... I only hope that Ye Senjun will restrain the soldiers and not kill innocents indiscriminately, the Goguryeo people in this city are not guilty, and all the guilt is in Quan, and I ask Ye Senjun not to embarrass them......"

"From now on, they are the people of the Tang Dynasty, under the rule of Ye, how can I embarrass them?" Ye Chang smiled: "Tie them up and send them back to his mansion...... The weapons and armor in the house are all searched, but the gold, silver, and wealth are not allowed to be taken without permission, and those who take it without permission are not allowed to be fornicated by military law, and those who are insulted are not allowed to be killed."

He connected the two orders, and the armies answered, and they began to act.

The city of Beisha is a small city, not very large, and it didn't take long for it to settle down again. Although there are still many people who are anxious and find it difficult to sleep, for Ye Chang, there is nothing left. In addition to the necessary troops patrolling the city, including the Lushun army that entered the city from the south gate, they all entered the barracks and began to rest

"It's finally busy...... I'm tired, and I haven't slept much since the day before yesterday. Ye Chang stretched his waist and smiled at Luo Jiuhe: "General Luo, you have a place to stay at home, I will go to your house to disturb you, I don't know if you welcome this uninvited guest." ”

Luo Jiuhe was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "I'm afraid that there will be changes tonight, so I want to stay in the camp......

"Then I'll go to your camp to rest." Ye Chang couldn't refuse: "Please General Luo lead the way." ”

Luo Jiuhe knew in his heart that this was Ye Chang's means to appease the surrendering army, but Rao was like this, he was still measured by Ye Chang's courage and strength. The newly attached army, the army's heart is unstable, Ye Chang dares to stay in it, it is not possible to do it with absolute confidence in himself.

After inviting Ye Chang into the camp, Luo Jiuhe was still a little uneasy in his heart, if one or two unscrupulous people in the army mixed in and assassinated Ye Chang, then the next day the city was only afraid that it would turn into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and it would definitely not be like tonight without much blood. Therefore, he quietly summoned his cronies and officers, and ordered in a low voice: "Ye Senjun will stay in my camp, and you will each lead a team, rotate once every hour, and protect the camp tent where the army is staying." If a rat gets in there, you all come to me."

When a close officer heard this, he laughed: "Congratulations to the general." ”

Another wondered, "What's the joy?" ”

"The general has served the Quan clan for three generations, and the Quan clan is still suspicious and wary, Ye has only been in the army for one night, and he treats the general as a brother and soul. The general is not used in the hands of the Quan family, but he will be able to use it under the account of Ye Senjun, this Ye Senjun can be such a big official at a young age, firstly, he is talented, and secondly, there is little support from the court. If you have his credit, the general will be able to make great progress."

Hearing him say this, everyone said yes one after another, and they also rejoiced to Luo Jiuhe Dao. Luo Jiuhe smiled: "If I have a great use, doesn't it mean that you also have to use it a lot, everyone is happy, happy together"

The next day, Ye Chang didn't get up until he was about to get up, which was very rare. During this time, he was very tired of trying to get rid of the hidden danger of Beisha City completely. Now that you're done, it's inevitable to relax. After waking up, I saw a red light outside, put on my clothes and went out of the tent, and found a red sun hanging in the sky, and the sky was completely clear. He was suddenly in a more comfortable mood, and after moving his hands and feet, he saw Luo Jiuhe personally holding a food box over.

"Have you used food in the army? Have you used it yourself? Ye Chang asked.

"After eating them all, he opened the granary in Beisha City without permission, and slaughtered some cattle and sheep."

"Didn't I say it yesterday, this aftermath is all handled by you, what kind of authorization?" Ye Changyi waved his hand: "I'm hungry, let me taste your skills as a chef in the army." ”

Putting aside the dishes and chopsticks, Ye Chang thought of another question: "General Luo, how many meals a day do you have as a sergeant?" ”

"Two meals."

"Two meals ......"

Ye Chang groaned for a while and began to eat, and after eating, he said: "On my side, don't say that the protectors are militiamen, and they also eat three meals a day." Only when you are full can you have strength drill training, and only when you are willing to work hard to drill and train, can you eat three full meals......"

He looked at Luo Jiuhe as he spoke, Luo Jiuhe was a little confused on his face, and he didn't know what Ye Chang meant by this. Ye Chang laughed again: "In this way, General Luo might as well pass on the order, find twenty wrestlers in your army, and I will find twenty wrestlers in our army, how about a wrestle?" ”

"Huh?"

"School party, our sergeants, we have to compare some manly things." Ye Chang had an idea that came up temporarily, and he was not prepared, so he was a little rough at first, but gradually he thought about it carefully, and then said: "That's it, it's not just twenty wrestlers......

He initially proposed 20 wrestlers because he wanted the two armies to have a tug-of-war match. The ancient name of tug-of-war is hooked, which originated from the Chu State, and it was also very popular at this time, and there was even an official competition of 1,000 people. However, thinking that there was no way to achieve his goal with only tug-of-war, Ye Chang prepared several projects at the moment.

"The two sides each have the same number of people, compared with the three major events of tug-of-war, running, and football, and the people in the city come to watch it together, which is considered to be fun with the people, what do you think?"

Luo Jiuhe lowered his head and thought to himself, slightly difficult: Ye Chang proposed this matter easily, but he was a little difficult to choose, go all out to win, and he was afraid of offending Ye Chang's subordinates, so take the initiative to seek defeat, which would hurt Ye Chang's interest.

Ye Chang saw his expression, and knew his plan, so he said: "General Luo, although you are a good manager of the army, I have been famous for a long time, but some people under my account have never been convinced. I want to recommend you to the court, but if you can't convince them, you will embarrass me...... You must do your best, not only to make a name for you, but also to teach me a lesson for those arrogant people, so that they can know that there are people outside the Taoist people and mountains outside the mountains. ”

Hearing Ye Chang's words come to this, where would Luo Jiuhe refuse, and promise at the moment. The two sides set a time for the trial to be held in the afternoon, after lunch, and then went to gather their own people.

Originally, people were panicked last night, including those Han soldiers who returned to righteousness, but now I heard that there was going to be a party, and the two sides sent people to compete, and the people's hearts suddenly calmed down: Since this Ye joined the army and intended to do this, it would not be too harsh to come to the city to treat the soldiers and civilians.

Finding that after the order was passed down, the nervousness and worry on the faces of both the soldiers and civilians were gone, replaced by joy and longing, Luo Jiuhe suddenly realized that he understood Ye Chang's intentions, and he originally wanted to use this school competition to appease the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

In that case, he can't let this competition mess up.

He didn't know that appeasing the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in Beisha City was only one of Ye Chang's purposes, and Ye Chang's real purpose was to have 1,500 Han soldiers in Beisha City.

Originally, there were only 2,000 soldiers in Beisha City, including 500 Han soldiers, but this preparation was expanded, and the Han army expanded to 900 people, while the Fan soldiers had more than 2,000 people. It's just that most of the soldiers were wiped out at the hands of Gao Yincheng, or they were captured or killed. How to solve these soldiers is a problem that Ye Chang needs to consider. With his material resources, it is absolutely impossible to raise so many soldiers, and the only way is to adapt.

But if the adaptation wants to gain the support of the demote, it must take more thought.
