Chapter 18 Occupation of Wuyong Pass
Ouyang Jing was killed, and the generals under his command who were unwilling to surrender were sent to reunite with him.
This battle is not very fierce.
Don't look at the more soldiers under Ouyang Jing's command, but they can't compare with Guo Xuan's soldiers at all.
There is a huge gap between the two, and this battle is a crushing.
After surrendering Ouyang Jing's army, Guo Xuan asked his subordinates to take inventory.
1,132 soldiers were killed, 4,376 were wounded, and more than 50,000 enemies were killed.
The remaining more than 40,000 people in Beiliang all surrendered.
After all, those who don't surrender have become ghosts under the gun.
Gathering the soldiers, Guo Xuan led the 120,000 people to Wuyong Pass.
……
In Wuyong Pass, the remaining soldiers are more than 1,000 people.
These people, seeing Guo Xuan at this time, they were carrying Ouyang Jing's head and calling for battle under the city.
Looking at the overwhelming army behind him, he dared to stop it.
Kaesong surrendered directly.
After Wu Yongguan opened the city gate, Guo Xuan led the army into the city.
The people in the city thought at first that Ouyang Jing had returned with his troops.
When they saw the words "Yan" and "Guo" on the flags in the army, these people first felt incredulous, and then they were in a good mood.
Guo Xuan has been self-reliant for a while, and they have heard some about Guo Xuan.
Although it is not yet known how they will live under Guo Xuan's governance.
However, they thought, how can it be better for them than Bei Liang.
And after Guo Xuan entered the city, he not only ordered the soldiers to do nothing against the people.
At the same time, he also asked the general in charge of propaganda under his command to inform the people in the city that Guo Xuan is here, and he will definitely let them live a better life in the past in the future.
The original oppression of them by Beiliang will no longer exist.
Those who originally suppressed them will also be punished by Guo Xuan and them.
After the army went to the barracks and settled down, the army asked his subordinates to take people to count the general's palace and the treasury of the barracks.
In addition, Guo Xuan personally led people to search for Ouyang Jing's correspondence with the Generalissimo of Nanjia and the Beiliang Imperial Court.
This grassroots official of Wuyongguan was also ordered by Guo Xuan to bring him to the General's Mansion to see him.
This Wu Yongguan will be his in the future, and those of these grassroots officials can continue to be used, and those who need to be replaced need to be investigated.
Guo Xuan found a very important letter from the documents between Ouyang Jing and the generalissimo of Nanjiao.
That is, the generalissimo of Nanjia planned to find out the news of Guo Xuan after Ouyang Jing, and then he would personally lead the army south to attack Yanyun City.
He was ready to personally lead an army of 300,000 to the south, and then with Ouyang Jing's 100,000 He, 400,000 to attack Yanyun City.
Yanyun City is not an easy-to-defend Chengchi, and five times the number of troops is enough to capture it.
For Bei Liang, it is very important to capture Yanyun City.
Because if you capture Yanyun City, you can completely take the land of Yanyun.
This land of Yanyun can be used as a springboard to the south, continuing to the south, and the south is basically a flat river.
Only when you reach Fanzhou County in the central part of the Southern Tang Dynasty can you be in danger.
In other words, as long as they capture the land of Yanyun, they can directly go south and capture half of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
This is such an important event for Beiliang.
Generalissimo Nankai is ready to personally lead an army of 300,000, which is enough to see his sincerity.
Seeing this news, Guo Xuan was also taken aback.
He had to say that if it weren't for Ouyang Jing's earnestness, and he didn't have a Qiankun cover, then he would really be a little dangerous.
After all, with the 80,000 soldiers in Yanyun City, he really didn't have the confidence to stick to the attack of the 400,000 army.
Guo Xuan is not a pedantic person, if Yan Yuncheng is really in danger, then he will definitely not care about the difference between immortals and mortals.
Directly use the Qiankun Cover, and protect Yanyun City first.
After all, Yan Yuncheng is his foundation, and the foundation must not be passive.
This is what he needs to save his life.
Now, though, it's okay.
He played Wuyong Pass, and it became an easy task to hold the attack of the generalissimo Nanjiao.
Wuyong Pass is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, even if it is ten times the size of its own army, it will not be able to break through Chengchi.
If you want to break the Wuyong Pass, you can only rely on the encirclement.
When there is a shortage of food in the city, the enemy will naturally be defeated.
As for the logistical problem, Guo Xuan doesn't need to worry about it at all now.
With Wu Yongguan to defend the town, he can let a small number of soldiers guard this place, and then slowly go south by himself.
Wait until you will unify the south in the future, and then attack Beiliang in the north.
The capture of Wuyong Pass is of great significance to Guo Xuan.
Guo Xuan looked at the documents for a while, and soon the officials of Wuyong Pass arrived.
He began to question these officials one by one, testing them.
In front of Guo Xuan's majesty, those who lied, Guo Xuan could clearly see their weak hearts.
For those who disobey the yang and the yin, Guo Xuan directly ordered someone to arrest them.
For those who can do something practical, then keep them and continue to serve.
When Guo Xuan inspected them one by one, a soldier suddenly came to report.
"My lord, there is someone outside the door who claims to be the head of the Yin family and has come to see you."
"The head of the Yin family? Let him in. As soon as Guo Xuan heard that it was from the Yin family, he immediately let people in.
This Yin family, Guo Xuan has also heard of it for a long time.
The ancestors of the Yin family were the guards of Wuyong Pass, and later branched out here.
Although the descendants of the Yin family did not continue to be generals, they became the only wealthy family in Wuyongguan.
The Yin family has a lot of resources in Wuyongguan, and most of the people in Wuyongguan are long-term workers for the Yin family.
After Wuyong Pass was occupied by Beiliang, the Yin family's status did not seem to be affected.
They are still the wealthy families in Wuyong Pass.
Because they can manage those people, they can not cause chaos in Beiliang.
This made the people of Beiliang trust their Yin family very much.
A family that took refuge in Beiliang, Guo Xuan wanted to know, what did they want to say when they came to him?
Not long after, Guo Xuan's subordinates led a sixty-year-old man in.
The old man was followed by a man in a yellow shirt in his forties.
The old man was dressed in a blue brocade robe with jade fingers on his hand, and he was the head of the Yin family.
The man behind him, although he seemed to be a guard, was also somewhat similar to him, obviously his son.
This person does have some strength, innate ninefold.
Above the congenital, it is the Martial Sect.
His strength is only one step away from Martial Sect.
After the old man saw Guo Xuan, although it was the first time he saw Guo Xuan, he could still easily distinguish Guo Xuan's identity.
He bowed and saluted, and said politely: "Grass people Yin Shi to meet the king!" ”
"Master Yin, what is the important thing for you to come to see Gu?" Guo Xuan squinted and asked.
"King, my Yin family has been a member of the Han family for generations, and now that the king has captured Wuyong Pass, the grass people are here to congratulate." Yin Shi said respectfully.
"Oh? Congratulate? I don't know what congratulatory gifts the head of the Yin family has prepared? Guo Xuan asked with a smile.
Yin Shi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Guo Xuan to be so direct.
But he came today, and he did prepare a congratulatory gift.
A congratulatory gift for the consolidation of their Yin family's position.
"Although my Yin family is not rich in Wuyong Pass, I am willing to give the king 5,000 stone of grain every year in the future." Yin Shi said respectfully.
"Five thousand stones? I just read some documents of the General's Mansion, how do you see that you give Beiliang 10,000 stones every year? ”
