In the early morning of October 8, when Ge Chang and his team were chasing Panlong down the Yuanshui River to Chenzhou in the southwest direction, the impatient Ma Xixu led a brigade of infantry and sailors from Xuanwu Gate into Tanzhou City.

Except for the occasional wisp of smoke in the distance, the Antai Avenue in front of you is no different from the daily scene, there are still pedestrians on the street, and the street has basically returned to its original appearance.

Yesterday, Ma Xicao and Ma Xichong gathered a group of henchmen to discuss what Lin Feng would become of Tanzhou City in a day.

Without exception, everyone agreed that Panlong's tribal army would inevitably be plundered everywhere, and Lin Feng would also fight, and the city would inevitably be seriously damaged, and mourning would be everywhere. Some people even pessimistically predicted that Tanzhou City would be finished from now on, and after Lin Feng defeated Panlong, he would definitely loot on a large scale, and even set fire to destroy the evidence, making a group of civil and military people feel up and down, and they didn't even have much taste for drinking.

In the records of the original history, after Ma Xicao invaded the city of Tanzhou, the army plundered for three days, killed the officials, burned the house, all the palaces were ashes, the treasures accumulated since the state of Chu were all looted, and the historical city of Changsha was destroyed in one fell swoop. However, in this time and space, because of the birth of a Lin Feng, Tanzhou City was magically preserved, at most, it could only be regarded as a slight loss of vitality.

Seeing a completely different scene from his expectations, Ma Xixu's heart was even more itchy, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to beat their horses and move quickly, and the long line accelerated and went straight to the Chu Palace.

It's finally here! Ma Xicao and Ma Xichong stepped on the blood stains in front of the palace of the king of Chu, and hurried all the way to the Nine Dragons Palace. The hall was empty, and only a dragon seat remained in the middle of the hall.

Ma Xicao hurried a few steps and approached to take a closer look at the dragon seat. The dragon seat itself is carved from the entire jade block, and there is no big problem, only the two dragon eyes that were originally inlaid with black gems have been picked out by someone.

Ma Xicao sat on the dragon throne, took a long breath, turned his head and instructed Ma Xichong: "I'm tired to death!" Xi Chong, after entering the city, the big and small matters will be handed over to you! ”

Ma Xichong took a step back respectfully, bent down and whispered: "Please rest assured, King Chu, the first thing the villain did was to match the dragon throne with a pair of the most beautiful gems!" King Chu, should we have a grand ceremony to enter the city first? ”

Ma Xicao patted the handle of the dragon seat, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, I originally thought that there would be chaos in Tanzhou City, so let's just quietly enter and take over." Who knew that Lu Dao was so quiet and peaceful, and if he knew that Lu Dao was like this, he should have made it more grand when he entered the city just now! ”

To tell the truth, Ma Xicao was really a little frightened by Lin Feng's anger, although in the past day, no one was guarding the seven city gates in Tanzhou, but Ma Xixu strictly ordered any soldiers not to enter the city, and just sent a few henchmen to put on makeup and enter the city to take a casual look. He only knew that Lin Feng had organized a bloody trial meeting, and he didn't know anything else about what was happening.

Ma Xichong said with a smile: "It's okay, we still have a large number of sailors who have not yet entered the city, now, let's trouble the King of Chu to get up again, let's enter the Xuanwu Gate again!" ”

Ma Xicao moved his fat body, wanted to get up, sat down again, raised his hand, and ordered: "Forget it, Xichong, you can come forward for me!" I want to take a good look at Tiance Mansion, which I haven't entered for nearly two years! ”

A hint of surprise flew by in Ma Xichong's eyes, and he immediately arranged for his capable subordinates to clean up the Chu Wang's Mansion first, and serve Ma Xicao to visit with his heart, and then went out to arrange the ceremony of entering the city.

Subsequently, "The Story of Mei Kai's Second Entry into the City", which was nicknamed "the first symbol of the second phase of the Tanzhou Rebellion" by later generations, was released.

Ma Xichong gave full play to his identity as the envoy of Wuping Jiedu, and immediately ordered the first entry into the city with some impotence to be suspended, re-queued, and began to enter the city for the second time.

Suddenly, the scale of entering the city was greatly increased. The cavalry that had been urgently drawn opened the way in front of them, and ordered passers-by to avoid and kneel; In the middle, the brightly uniformed cavalrymen waved sixty-four banners to open the way, followed by a huge band, followed by the tall king, two thousand infantry, and three thousand sailors to the rear. The entire procession into the city went out for nearly two miles, and at first glance, it was really majestic and majestic.

However, this scene did not stand up to scrutiny, except for Ma Xichong, who was triumphant and looked around on the jade chariot, and his smug subordinates who followed closely behind, the other officers and soldiers were listless. Who hasn't had something to do with being slipped back and forth several times in the morning in and out of Xuanwu Gate will also scold their mother in their hearts, besides, Tanzhou City has not had much to do with them from beginning to end, and it is natural that they are not angry!

"Bustard's mother! You didn't see anyone when the barbarians burned and killed, and you didn't see anyone when Lord Lin avenged us, there was nothing going on at this time, but you were five people and six people showing your majesty! A middle-aged man who was forced to kneel on the side of the road on the side of the road glared hatefully at the team in the center of the street and scolded in a low voice in the dialect of his hometown Hubei.

"That's it, a bunch of treasures! There's no shame in that! A young man next to him also scolded fiercely.

Ma Xichong, who was in the middle of the procession, couldn't hear this, he looked proudly on the outside and inspected the people kneeling on both sides, and in his heart he was seriously planning how to arrange a cadre of generals close to him.

When this play was being released, Lin Feng used Huang Zongwang's Mansion as his temporary office to deal with many follow-up matters.

Lin Feng first gathered the special soldiers, rich guards, Wuchang elites and 1,000 Tanzhou troops in the city in front of the fort, and did not make any speeches and agitations, but put 60,000 yuan neatly in front of the fort where there were still traces of war, and rewarded them for their merits and deeds, and distributed money on the spot!

First of all, a group of guards, according to the principle of "ten times for killing a rebel, 100 times for the wounded, and 1,000 times for death", 15,000 pieces of the scene went down according to people's hair; Then there is the elite of Wuchang, because the rescue is timely and the pursuit is brave, each person is rewarded with 100 guan, and another 20,000 guan is divided; The last was the special soldiers, according to the performance in the previous two successful raids and the Battle of Tanzhou, each person was uniformly distributed 500 guan, and 15,000 guan was divided again. Of course, Zhang Bin, Ge Chang and all the guards who pursued Panlong, the elite of Wuchang, just read it on the spot and recorded it in their personal accounts.

Seeing that the piles of money were divided, the surrendered soldiers in Tanzhou, who had been watching the play on the side, only envy remained in their eyes, and they were only sad in their hearts.

Of course, Lin Feng called the Tanzhou soldiers not to let these people taste on the spot, but for another purpose.

After distributing the money, Lin Feng walked in front of these soldiers and said loudly: "In my Tang Army, there have always been clear rewards and punishments, meritorious service must be rewarded, and there must be punishment!" You were originally soldiers defending the city of Tanzhou, and it was already a big mistake that you failed to resist to the death when the city was broken, but considering that you were also betrayed and victimized, you only hid after that, and did not take advantage of the chaos to hurt the innocent, which can be regarded as a merit and demerit. I can't reward you! However, I am now going to give everyone a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and a good opportunity to be promoted! ”

As soon as they heard that there was still a chance, these soldiers immediately came to their senses, and pricked up their ears and listened intently.

Lin Feng first raised a finger and said loudly: "A good opportunity for meritorious service is to give each of you a two-day holiday, you go to Tanzhou City to find Tanzhou soldiers who were familiar with each other before, and every time you persuade a soldier to surrender to the Tang army, I will reward two pieces of money, and so on, there is no upper limit!" ”

As soon as this condition was mentioned, many soldiers looked at each other and immediately quietly exchanged glances left and right. With such a clear army of rewards and punishments, and such good officials, such an army should be able to attract their brothers to go out to the mountains to serve as soldiers again, and it should not be difficult to get this money.

Lin Feng raised another finger and said loudly: "I don't need to talk more about the combat effectiveness of my Datang elite soldiers, you can inquire about their treatment yourself, and you can take any weapon to touch it for verification." If you think you have what it takes, we'll be holding a small tryout here in three days' time, and the best ones will be selected for the Special Forces Reserve! ”

This explosive news immediately completely lifted the spirits of all the surrendered soldiers, and Yang Di, as well as Peng Shihui and Wu Hong, who were lying on the chairs, were also infected, and couldn't help clenching their fists.
