From the early morning to 7 o'clock in the morning, the rebels had completely controlled the situation in the city, except for a few enemies who rushed into the homes of the residents to take refuge, the rest either died or surrendered.

Meng Jiucheng didn't smile when he got the military report, he was forcing him to be deep.

The city was further stabilized, and Meng Jiucheng, under the escort of his own soldiers, entered the city through the west gate. As the first breakthrough, the street leading from the west gate to the city was the place where the Jin army resisted most fiercely. It was only later that the rebel armies from other directions also broke through the city, and the Jin soldiers knew that the loss of the city was a foregone conclusion, and they retreated in panic.

The blood and corpses everywhere have been preliminarily removed, but there are still obvious traces where Meng Jiucheng has passed. The streets were littered with rubble and blood. The further you go in, the less obvious the signs of battle become, which is already the loss of fighting spirit of the Jin soldiers, and they have fled in defeat.

Yizhou, Haizhou, and Tengzhou and Yanzhou in the future, it is very difficult to keep it absolutely secret. Moreover, every time the city was broken, the Red Turban Army broke in first, and the casualties were not something that Meng Jiucheng was willing to bear. Therefore, this time he invited Huo Yi and Peng Yibin's troops to form three assault troops.

And Meng Jiucheng also put forward an additional request, that is, the issue of military discipline. After all, Haicheng belongs to the Red Turban Army, and if it has a bad reputation, it will also be a problem for future governance and restoration.

Huo Yi and Peng Yibin agreed to these conditions very happily. On the one hand, the distribution of captured materials by military exploits is one thing, and on the other hand, they also want to know how the Red Turban Army can break through the city. To this end, the coalition forces have also set up a department to maintain military discipline, and no matter which army has problems, it will be severely punished and will not be tolerated.

When Meng Jiucheng was studying, he praised and praised the peasant uprisings in history, and the most described was the opening of the warehouse to release grain, and the people ate pot pulp, as if the peasant rebels were all benevolent and righteous teachers who did not commit any crimes. But in reality, looting should be the norm. Some of them are even called righteous soldiers, but they are actually robbers and bandits, and they are just as brutal to the common people.

Meng Jiucheng has had personal experience, and he has also heard the homeless cry about what they have suffered. Therefore, he admitted that the peasant uprising was the result of official coercion and civil rebellion, but he despised and hated the rebels who were like thieves, and his demands for his own army also began with military discipline, and he was even more vigilant and vigilant against the actions of some rebels.

After getting off the horse at the Yamen, Meng Jiucheng took his guards into the house and sat down for a while, waiting for Huo Yi and Peng Yibin. According to the agreement, the seized materials will be counted and distributed today, and before dark, except for the guards of the Red Turban Army, Huo Yi and Peng Yibin's men and horses will withdraw from the city.

This agreement seems excessive, but Meng Jiucheng also said that in Teng and Yanzhou, the same is true of the Red Turban Army. Even after the battle, they immediately withdrew from the city and waited outside the city for supplies to be distributed.

Now it seems that Huo Yi and Peng Yibin still abide by the agreement, and the troops that have invaded the city are gradually withdrawing, leaving only a small part in the government treasury, armament depot and other places.

Although Huo Yi and Peng Yibin were a little childish in doing this, Meng Jiucheng was not very angry. Poor, one word explains everything.

There was not much time, and Huo Yi, Peng Yibin, Cheng Fu and others came to the mansion. After the hustle and bustle was over, Huo Yi told Meng Jiucheng that their troops were withdrawing and the Red Turban Army was taking over the city.

This is a gesture of goodwill, and it is also the fulfillment of promises, just like "so-and-so is also a believer".

"Huo Shuai is polite." Meng Jiucheng's attitude is respectful, at least on the surface, he is impeccable, "There is a saying in the art of war: soldiers are noble and fast, and the nights are long and dreamy." Our army can be drawn after a day's rest, this, how long does it take for your army? ”

After a day's rest, that is, the day after tomorrow, you can go out to fight Teng and Yanzhou. Huo Yi thought about it and didn't answer immediately, but looked at Peng Yibin. The meaning is very clear, there is no problem with our army, listen to you.

Peng Yibin nodded and said, "There is no problem with our army, but listen to Huo Shuai's orders." ”

"Then we will start the day after tomorrow." Huo Yi put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "This time the city is broken, and the loss is not big. Attacking Teng and Yan Prefectures, with Hao Ding's troops to help in the battle, General Meng and General Peng did not have to rush to replenish the total. Besides, Haizhou and Yizhou are newly occupied lands, and they must also be defended by the army. ”

When Meng Jiucheng heard this, he hurriedly said: "Huo Shuai has thought thoughtfully, then our army will dispatch three thousand, and the grain and grass can be consumed less." ”

Peng Yibin also knew that Hao Ding's assistance in the war was also for the city and materials. Besides, he is a landlord, so he must at least take a large share. If there are too many people in each family, it is easy to worry about the distribution of materials. Therefore, as soon as Meng Jiucheng expressed his position, he also said: "Huo Shuai is considerate of his subordinates, and his subordinates are grateful. Yizhou was newly determined, and Haizhou was fought again, and it was indeed too late to replenish the troops. Then my department also dispatched 3,000, I don't know if it's possible? ”

Huo Yi was very happy with Meng and Peng's knowledge, arched his hand, and said, "Thank you two generals." At present, the various troops are not well-fed, and it is needless to say that there is a shortage of food, grass and materials. So- well, it's great that you two can be considerate. ”

The lack of supplies was certain, but it was not only a hardship unique to the rebels, but also a matter of the Jin Dynasty. This led to the corruption of military discipline and the common occurrence of looting when the Jin army suppressed the rebels. Because of this, the Jin army seemed to have successively defeated a large number of Red Jacket troops Yang An'er, Li Quan, and Liu Erzu, but forced more civilians to rebel.

Although the Red Jacket Army suffered setbacks and the three major leaders were defeated or killed, Li Quan, Huo Yi, Peng Yibin, Hao Ding and others took over in a timely manner.

Meng Jiucheng has long judged this situation and has been trying to solve it by all means. Although he has not yet seen a big effect, he is already more than one step or two faster than others. Even when it comes to turning the corner, it is also here that he can be most visible.

Meng Jiu wanted to say that he was trying to buy food by sea, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't reveal it. Not to mention that there are no businessmen to make a lot of money now, he is still worried that other rebels will come to fight and fight each other!

And wait until the external channel for buying grain is really established, and when the strength of the Red Turban Army is stronger, invite them to come to the mutual market and use money to buy grain!

When Meng Jiucheng thought of this, he diverted the topic. He ordered someone to bring a map and discuss the defense area with Huo Yi, Peng Yibin, and Cheng Fu, as well as issues such as mutual cooperation and support.

Haizhou will be guarded by Xiao Ying's troops, and Yizhou and Haizhou will be connected, and will also become the southwest barrier of the base area, and the Yimeng Mountains to the west will be Liu Erzu's territory, in order to avoid future conflicts, some issues must be clarified.

"Our army still has to guard against the south, or expand to the south." Peng Yibin said his own development strategy, based on Yizhou, to the south is Pizhou, which is occupied by the Jin army, and Pizhou's backing is the Xuzhou Academy of the Jin Dynasty, which is stronger.

In fact, Meng Jiucheng really thought about helping Peng Yibin attack Pizhou. Because, he wants to get a large number of ships.

The rivers in Pizhou are vertical and horizontal, and the history records "Hao Ding and Huo Yi, Peng Yibin broke the Pizhou Piercing, and got tens of thousands of boats". Although Meng Jiucheng's analysis believes that these boats are all small boats on the river, it is estimated that even the sampan can be counted to make up for these tens of thousands.

But no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and if it is really tens of thousands of ships, it will not even be a little bigger, right? Besides, even if it's a small sampan, it's useful if you get it.

It is still a matter of difficulty and time to dispel Meng Jiucheng's thoughts, Pizhou, which is surrounded by water, is no better than other cities, and can drain the water of the moat and carry out tunnel blasting. Moreover, when he was in Teng and Yan'erzhou, Meng Jiucheng estimated that there was not much time left, and he had to rush back to the base area to deal with the new situation in the north.

Therefore, Meng Jiucheng listened to Peng Yibin's idea and did not promise anything, but only promised that when his army moved south, he would send troops from Haizhou to cooperate and protect the safety of his flanks.

And Huo Yi represents Liu Erzu's thinking, if Teng and Yan Erzhou can be captured, their development direction will be west and northwest, that is, Tai'an, Laiwu, Shanzhou and other places. This does not conflict with the development of the Red Turban Army, and there is no need to reach any agreement.

Of course, it is a bit too strict to say that the agreement is just a relatively loose agreement between the two parties. After all, no one can guarantee what the future holds, but it's a good start, with a bit of an alliance.

For Meng Jiucheng not paying much attention to land expansion, and even revealing his intention to go north, Huo Yi and Peng Yibin were somewhat puzzled. Of course, they wouldn't know that Meng Jiucheng had already expected that they wouldn't be able to hold out for long. Either he was defeated by the Jin army, or he was dragged down by money and food, and when the Red Turban Army became stronger, those territories were his.

Seeing noon, Meng Jiucheng pretended to be a landlord and instructed his guards to buy wine and vegetables to entertain Huo Yi and others.

When they were full of wine and food, a few people sat down and chatted for a while, and someone came to the storehouse and reported the statistics. According to Meng Jiucheng's proposal, the three families were divided equally, and they voluntarily adjusted, and they didn't care about the size of their military exploits.

Huo Yi and Peng Yibin naturally had no doubts and expressed their gratitude. According to the merits of the war, the Red Turban Army broke through the city, which is the first merit, and it is necessary to get the big head.

After the distribution of the stolen goods, Huo Yi and Peng Yibin took their leave and took people to transport the distributed materials, grain and grass.

After sending a few people away, Meng Jiucheng returned to the house, and there were soldiers who laid paper and polished ink, and he began to write letters to Wang Zhongfeng, Zhu Ming, Zheng Si'an and others.

Although there are historical data as the basis for his actions, Meng Jiucheng does not dare to believe it absolutely, and he must always be prepared just in case.

In a few months, or even a month or two, you may meet some famous people in history, and there will be more in the future, are you ready?

After the letter was written, Meng Jiucheng paced around the room, his thoughts churning.

Huo Yi and Peng Yibin are all figures who have left a mark in history, although they are not particularly famous. But Meng Jiucheng knew that psychologically, he had crossed a small threshold, and put his position correct.

You can respect and admire historical celebrities, but you are the one who can turn things around, not the little brother who works for historical celebrities. Moreover, they don't know what they want to end up with, and they don't know what they want to do.

As for the heroine who is known as "20 years of pear flower gun, invincible in the world", Meng Jiucheng is looking forward to it.

Up to now, although the Red Turban Army is not particularly strong, it is also the best among the many rebels. This is undoubtedly Meng Jiucheng's capital, and he has the confidence to stand up and talk to other rebel leaders on an equal footing.

That's right, just straighten up. Whether it is Yang Xiaoniang or Li Daguanren, the difference when they meet is just the size of their reputation.

Meng Jiu let out a long breath and snapped open the window, letting the wind blow straight on his face.
