Chapter 45: Li Yuxue's Night Attack on Caizhou (4)
Tens of thousands of soldiers drove into Caizhou City, and it can't be said that it was silent, but no one in Caizhou City noticed it. The voice of the watchman still wafted in the night sky:
"It's safe!"
The sleeping soldiers and civilians of Caizhou couldn't hear the fear implied in the seemingly ordinary voice of the beater. Some of them woke up, looked up at the sky outside the window, muttered, and went back to sleep. Under the sound of this piece of peace, Li You and Li Zhongyi led the officials and soldiers to paint a scoop according to the gourd and opened the gate of the inner city. Li You originally planned to develop with Li Zhongyi, but Li Yu stopped him and ordered:
"You take a battalion of people to protect the family of Hou Weiqing's brothers."
Li You knew about Hou Weiqing's brothers, and he also knew where Hou Weiqing's brothers lived, but at this time, Li Yu asked him to go to show people the house, which was overkill, but when he saw Li Jincheng leading the Hou army to catch up, Li You understood. Li You is a smart person, and he knows that this is another kind of protection for him by Li Yu, after all, he has already made enough contributions to planning this surprise attack. If the meritorious service of a general is too great, it is easy to attract people to hold grudges. Let's give the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to others. So he took the command and went with joy.
Li Zhongyi is not as smart as Li You, and he can't think of many things. Therefore, when Li Yu ordered him to withdraw from the battle and occupy the gates of Caizhou on the grounds that the previous army was tired, he only took it as a protector and led the army to go without saying anything. Several gates were effortlessly controlled. It's also a shame for him to go, otherwise Hou Weiming would only be afraid that he would have to shout until dawn before he could enter the city, and by then, people would be almost like popsicles. The annoyed Hou Weiming couldn't go home, and immediately went to see Li Yu, this time he didn't worship the wrong person:
"The guilty general Hou Weiming is late, please punish the crime!"
Hou Weiming was annoyed and panicked, his brother suffered so much, but he missed the time and didn't catch up with the response, this missed the military plane is a big crime, and the wishful thinking of seizing the city gate to grab the head is gone, and he only controls a Wu Shaoyang who actually can't play any role, so he has to put his posture as low as possible at once. Li Yu naturally knew what he was thinking, so he didn't say anything, just praised their brothers a few words, and Hou Weiming was at ease. When Hou Weiming proposed to send Wu Shaoyang over, Li Yu, who asked about the situation, said:
"It's fine. By the way, let's take two more Lang Zhong. ”
He also ordered Wei Wu to lead 2,000 men to follow Hou Weiming to see if he could help in the battle without uprooting the barriers, after all, the officers and soldiers had already begun to eat a hot breakfast in the city, and Hou Weiqing's soldiers and horses were estimated to be tired enough. After Hou Weiming thanked Li Yu's family for their kindness, he didn't care about going home, so he hurriedly turned back.
When the official army took full control of the four cities, the noise was no longer forbidden. Cai Ren, who had never found such a lively city before, couldn't help but be surprised when he opened the door, the streets were full of strange soldiers. The soldiers told them:
The king entered the city. Wu Shaocheng's rule over Huaixi ended. You can start your normal life.
Of course, these words were taught by the soldiers, and after asking them whether the officials and soldiers would retaliate against Cai Ren, Cai Ren was overjoyed. There are also bold asks:
"Master Jun, isn't our life normal now?"
The indoctrination soldiers looked at them with pitiful eyes, not knowing what to say.
Xian Yu Xiong'er's current life is live, it is called a moisturization, Dong Chongzhi went to Huiqu to preside over the military, and he is basically Xian Yu Xiong'er in Caizhou City. One person has ascended to heaven, and many of Wu Shaocheng's little servants have now broken Wu Shaocheng's rules and begun to intervene in government affairs with Xian Yu Xiong'er. Xian Yu Xiong'er now lives in Wu Yuanqing's house, and hangs out with Wu Yuanqing's concubine every day, and Wu Yuanqing is now put in the place where Xian Yu Xiong'er lived before, in order to vent Xian Yu Xiong'er's long-suppressed resentment. Under the torture of Xian Yu Xiong'er and the connivance of Dong Chongzhen, Wu Yuanqing is now not far from death. If it weren't for the fact that Wu Shaoyang had not returned to Caizhou, it would have been up to Wu Shaocheng and his son to continue to call on the army and the people, I am afraid that Wu Yuanqing would have passively followed his old man a long time ago.
Today's Xian Yu Xiong'er is no exception, last night's heavy snow gave Xian Yu Xiong'er an excellent excuse to be lazy, how comfortable it is to sleep with a beauty, so that when the house slave knocked on the door in a panic, telling him that when the official army entered the city, he also patted the beauty's buttocks, and said:
"What about jokes? This must be the prisoners of the official army who have escaped and are robbing, and when the day comes, master, no, this official will bring people to destroy them. When someone told him that Caizhou had been captured by the official army, Xian Yu Xiong'er still didn't believe it.
When the rooster crowed, the snow stopped, Ding Shiliang and Ma Shaoliang had already led the army to attack Wu Shaocheng's outer house. As I hurriedly got dressed, I heard thousands of people shouting outside:
"Word from the handsome!"
Xian Yu Xiong's face was colorless, and said:
"He Fang, how did you get here?"
In a pretended way, he led the crowd to climb the Yacheng City to watch, but he was startled when he saw it, and his eyes were full of officials and soldiers, under the banner of "Zhangyi Army's Jiedu Envoy, Shannan Road Marching Commander Li", and there were shouts and killings from officials and soldiers in all directions. Xian Yu Xiong'er couldn't help but exclaim:
"Kuye, what can I do about this!"
There was a small servant who proposed to bring all the family members and the soldiers who could find them to Yacheng to hold on, and wait for Dong Chongzhi to come back for help. Xian Yu bit the bear's teeth and ordered all the people to be summoned to the city. It's a pity that half of the strong families in Caizhou City have been siphoned off by Dong Chongqian, where is the rest worth it? Besides, everyone is Wu Shaocheng's family, how much is there to be convinced of this betrayal of the Lord and seeking glory?
Wei Wu, Li You, Li Zhongyi, Ding Shiliang and others were ordered to lead the army to capture all the key points in the city, and in less than an hour, the whole city was already under the control of the official army. Soon, Hou Weiqing, Hou Weiming's brothers, hurriedly followed Wei Wu, and of course the meeting ceremony was Wu Shaoyang, who was so sick that he passed out. Li Yu praised the two of them a lot, and ordered the two to go home first to have a look, and the two brothers were naturally grateful. It was the people of Caizhou, who saw that the official army had not committed any crime at this time, and they also slowly walked out to see the excitement. Seeing that the bears were stubbornly resisting, some people shouted:
"Burn him!"
The rest of the people echoed in favor, looking like they couldn't wait to see the fire show. Li Yu couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to order all these people to be blocked and not to hinder the officials and soldiers in doing things. When the half-dead Wu Shaoyang was brought up, Xian Yu Xiong'er felt that the back of his head had been patted, and he didn't know anything else, and when he woke up, he saw the face of Wu Yuanqing, who had half his life left. Wu Yuanqing, who was greatly injured, wanted to beat Xian Xiong'er, but he couldn't raise his fists and wanted to kick him, but he had no strength in his feet, so he had to leave a sentence weakly:
"Wait for the master to come and castrate you!"
Xianyu bears are cold from head to toe.
After the inner city was opened, the fighting was basically not very intense, and many soldiers felt that the battle was over before they could warm up. Li Jincheng was also depressed, he originally thought that there would be a vicious fight in Tooth City, but who knew that Xian Yu Xiong'er was so careless that even the family couldn't suppress it. was so angry that Li Jincheng kicked him a few times on the grounds of waking up Xian Yu Xiong'er, who was stunned. Wu Shaocheng's body was found in the mansion -- poor Wu Shaocheng was a hero, who was hung on the head of a sheep when he died, and he was not allowed to be buried -- and Wu Yuanqing, who was half dead, and his family. After asking Li Jincheng, the assassin of Tangzhou, Wu Yuanqing put forward two requests, one is to kill the little slut at home, and the other is to kill Xian Yu Xiong'er. Li Jincheng couldn't meet the two requirements, so he took him to see Xian Yu Xiong'er. After threatening Xian Yu Xiong'er, Wu Yuanqing was carried by two family members to see Li Yu. Originally, there should have been officers and soldiers, but the smell on Wu Yuanqing's body was too bad, so he had to call the two family members who surrendered before the battle to serve.
Seeing Li Yu, Wu Yuanqing first saluted Li Yu on the grounds of physical inaction, and Li Yu looked at the young marshal with interest. After Wu Shaoshuai thanked Li Yu for saving his life, the first sentence was:
"Li Dashuai came from afar to set things right for me in Huaixi, Yuan Qing is really grateful. Li Dashuai and the generals and the left and right sides worked hard all the way, so Yuan Qing ordered his subordinates to prepare meals and mobilize the people to treat the three armies. ”
regarded the envoy of the Changyi Army and the head of the Shannan Road march appointed by the imperial court as guests, as if he was still the successor of Caizhou and Huaixi. This can't help but make everyone suspect that his brain has been broken. Seeing that Wu Yuanqing was still entangled, Li Yu sighed and said to Ding Shiliang:
"Tell the cook to cook him a meal, and remember not to kill him. After eating, he will be put in prison, and wait for Lu Xianggong to come and send it out! ”
As the main general, Li Yu personally led more than 10,000 troops to attack the thieves' nest, such a major event was naturally agreed by the prince, and at this time it was completed, Li Yu naturally sent his subordinates to report the victory. Everywhere the news passed, the officials, soldiers and ordinary people were all jubilant. Considering that Wu Yuanqing still has use value, Li Yu did not put him in prison for the time being, cleaned up a room for him to live in, and by the way, let him practice calligraphy and write a few letters of surrender. In the afternoon, Gwangju and other places successively surrendered to the official army. In the entire Huaixi, except for Dong Chongzhen, who was stationed in Huiqu, there was no news, and the rest of the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses all surrendered.
