Chapter 70: The Great Destruction of Zhuzhou

"Heroes spare their lives, heroes spare their lives!" Fang Kaida finally squeezed a few words out of his throat.

Liu Yan glared at Fang Kaida and said with a smile: "Weren't you very fierce just now, why do you want to spare your life now?"

He paused and said, "If you want to spare your life, you must promise me a few things!"

Fang Kaida nodded repeatedly.

Liu Yan's hand loosened and put Fang Kaida on the ground.

Fang Kaida felt the pressure in his throat suddenly decrease, and couldn't help coughing loudly, relieving his breath for a while before he said, "I don't know what the hero wants me to do?"

Liu Yan said: "First, give me the city defense map of Zhuzhou City; second, except for the people who are eating and drinking in your hall today, all the middle-level generals of the defenders of the city will be gathered in front of the yamen of the state capital, and I have something to tell them!"

"Don't try to escape, I only used one success force just now, as long as you make a slight move, I will kill you first!"

Fang Kaida hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

At this time, Liu Yan put two fingers to his mouth and let out a whistle.

The "Zhuang Ke" of Lijiazhuang, who was eating and drinking in the hall, suddenly picked up the guy, and under the leadership of Liu Chengzhi, launched an attack on the Kaida headquarters in the hall.

Because the generals and soldiers of Fang Kaida's department did not expect that someone would actually do something in the City Lord's Mansion, they drank a few more cups, and all their hands and feet were numb, and they were subdued without much resistance.

It turned out that those Zhuang guests were all pretended to be Cheng Zhijun.

Cheng Zhijun tied up the captured soldiers and changed into their clothes.

Liu Chengzhi and Liu Yan sealed Fang Kaida's acupuncture points to prevent him from escaping, and then immediately concentrated their troops, drove to the yamen of the state capital, and ambushed them.

Fang Kaida passed down the order through his master.

After a while, 200 middle-level officials from the Zhuzhou Mansion came to the Yamen of the Prefecture Capital.

Fang Kaida had already received Liu Chengzhi's instructions, and said: "I have summoned everyone here today because of the urgent notice from Jinling City, in order to control weapons and improve public order, from today onwards, the weapons in each person's hand will be numbered. ”

"We're going to number the weapons in your hands first, so you can put them in front of you and someone will deal with them soon. ”

Since Jiangnan Province has always had strict management of weapons, these defenders did not suspect fraud, so they put their weapons in front of the front list, and then retreated to their original positions.

At this time, a thousand Chengzhi troops suddenly appeared from the ambush, and no one had bows and arrows in their hands, pointing at the two hundred generals.

At this time, a man who looked like a subordinate general shouted: "We have won the scheme, everyone has fought with them." ”

Liu Chengzhi knew that he must not be merciful at this time. With a wave of his hand, a force surged towards the general.

The general's right hand struck with all his might, and the two forces suddenly joined together, making a "bump" sound, his martial arts skills were good, and he took two steps back and stabilized his figure.

However, Liu Chengzhi didn't wait for him to stand up completely, his left palm struck out to the right front, his right palm struck out to the left front, and then he struck forward with all his strength, only to see two white dragons roaring towards the general.

The general didn't expect Liu Chengzhi to have such a strange trick, so he didn't react for a while, and was hit in the chest by two small dragons at once.

There was only a thud, and the general spat blood from his mouth and fell to the ground.

Under the leadership of Fang Kaida, the soldiers of Zhuzhou City have always done evil, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and when they saw Liu Chengzhi having this method, they were shocked and did not dare to be the first bird again. In this way, Liu Chengzhi subdued all these generals.

He guarded these generals in the city and guarded the yamen.

At this time, the remaining troops of the Chengzhi Army had already been ambushed under the Zhuzhou City Gate.

Liu Chengzhi ordered Liu Yan to go to the Zhuzhou City Gate with the city gate order to open the door.

At the request of the city gate order, the city gate of Zhuzhou was opened, and the 30,000 soldiers of the Chengzhi army immediately rushed into Zhuzhou City.

At this time, the Zhuzhou defenders did not have the command of the generals, all of them became stragglers, and the 30,000 Chengzhi troops were each one as ten, and Zhuzhou City was completely conquered by the Chengzhi army after holding on for half an hour.

Liu Chengzhi counted the men and horses, and only lost less than a thousand people.

Liu Chengzhi released Li Chunxian, the eldest son of the owner of Li Zhuang, and the owner of Li Zhuang was naturally grateful. It's just that after Li Chunxian was released, he must insist on following Liu Chengzhi to join the army.

Liu Chengzhi saw the sincerity of his request, and taught him the exercises, and found that he was actually a master of the Shuanglong Realm, although he was not as sharp as Li Xiuqi and Liu Yan's exercises, but he was also a rare talent, so he agreed to include him in the Chengzhi Army.

Since then, behind Liu Xingxing, the Chengzhi army began to have its first base area.

On the second day of the occupation of Zhuzhou City, a letter came from the nearby state capital of Ganzhou City.

Originally, although Ganzhou City is close to Zhuzhou City and is located in the Jiangnan Plain, there is a hill in the territory, called Meiling. The people here are the most fierce, and there have always been bandits. Therefore, Li Longxun also sent a military general, Zhang Shuwu, to guard it.

Although this Zhang Shuwu has good kung fu, his tactical strategy of leading troops to fight is too far from Liu Shiingshen and Zhao Hongsheng, and he has been defeated several times to suppress bandits.

Therefore, he planned to gather the troops of Zhuzhou City, which was close to him, and exterminate these bandits together, but Fang Kaida refused. But this time, he still had the mentality of giving it a try and invited him again.

When Liu Chengzhi saw this express, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly discussed with Li Xiuqi and Liu Yan how to deal with this matter.

Liu Chengzhi said: "This express may be a godsend!"

Li Xiuqi said: "It is true, although Zhuzhou City is rich, with a population of as many as two million, but most of them are farmers and industrialists, with weak personalities, and have never been suitable for conscription, while Ganzhou City is different, the people here are fierce, although the population is nearly one million, it is the main source of soldiers in Jiangnan Province. ”

Liu Chengzhi said: "The biggest problem at the moment is not to let them know about the changes that have taken place here!"

Liu Yan said: "That's true, this time it is better to send troops sooner rather than later, even if it is a little risky, it is worth it!"

Liu Chengzhi said: "I am responsible for this operation, I will lead 5,000 troops with Li Xiuqi and Li Chunxian, Liu Yan, you help me guard the base camp of Zhuzhou City!"

Not long after, Liu Chengzhi wrote a letter through Fang Kaida, replying to Zhang Shuwu that troops would be sent to help within two days.

Liu Chengzhi led 5,000 troops and quickly marched to Ganzhou City.

Liu Yan took the best of the 80,000 defenders of Zhuzhou City who surrendered and disbanded 50,000 people. Then the remaining 25,000 Chengzhi troops were broken and placed in 30,000 surrendered troops, because the troops brought out by Liu Chengzhi were all elite, superb martial arts, and excellent tactics, so this 55,000-strong army was immediately stabilized. Liu Yan immediately began training, teaching the three of them to form a tiger formation to the new unit, hoping to train this force into elite soldiers as soon as possible.

In less than a day, the Chengzhi army marched to the city of Ganzhou, and after showing the order signed by Fang Kaida, the Chengzhi army entered the city and officially stationed down. In order to prevent the news of Zhuzhou City from reaching here, Liu Chengzhi immediately went to see Zhang Shuwu to ask for battle.

When Zhang Shuwu saw Liu Chengzhi and Li Xiuqi, he said in surprise: "I can't imagine that the general is so young, and the prefect Fang values it so much?"

Liu Chengzhi said: "General Zhang, heroes don't ask where they come from, but they are not in their old age!"

Zhang Shuwu saw that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and his conversation was extraordinary, but he also put away his contempt, and said: "General, please calm your anger, I don't mean to despise him." Recently, it coincided with the autumn harvest, and I was suffering from the bandits, which directly affected the lives of the people, but unfortunately I was unable to do it, and several times the bandits were in vain!"

Liu Chengzhi saw that he was quite benevolent, and said: "I have always heard that General Zhang loves the people, and when I see it today, I do have the style of ancient sages and sages!" Then, Zhengse said: "General, the end of today and the end of the future is to completely eradicate the bandits, but you have been sent, I will obey all orders, this matter should be sooner rather than later!"

Zhang Shuwu was overjoyed and said, "When does the general plan to leave?"

Liu Chengzhi said: "How about tomorrow?"

Zhang Shuwu said: "This plague is really a problem in my heart, if it can be eliminated one day sooner, the people will be freed one day earlier, so very good." ”
