Chapter 996 - Doing a Full Set of Dramas (Part I)
After leading the Chinese army into Nanyang City, looking at the situation where the city was full of people and almost no food and grass materials, Qin Yude didn't see much excitement, but was a little in a trance.
On the contrary, the surrounding subordinates and others were all overjoyed, either asking for orders to pursue, or sending troops to show off their might in Nanyang City, suppressing the people of the city, and searching for Vietnamese officers and soldiers who might be hiding. There are also those greedy people, who are running for those rich people in the treasury, just thinking about taking advantage of this big victory and making a good profit.
It's not that he didn't have that careful and cautious mind, he suppressed the idea of looting and making a fortune, came to Qin Yude, and asked about the next plan, which naturally included Qin Yuxiang.
"Metropolitan Governor, how strange it is to take Nanyang this time......" Qin Yuxiang leaned over and reminded in a low voice.
Qin Yude's body shook again, and he replied: "You can also see it?" ”
"This Nanyang City is too easy to fight, from the beginning to the end of only ten days, the official siege of the three missing one siege is only three days, so the big city they actually said to abandon it. And ......"
"And he left so many supplies to us, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense!" Qin Yude said in a deep voice, "If it were me, in such a situation, even if I wanted to abandon the city and flee, I would inevitably set fire to all the food and materials, so as not to fund the enemy." ”
Qin Yuxiang nodded silently, and then said: "And they are quite orderly when they retreat out of the city, and they don't see the slightest rout of the army." If you really have no choice but to abandon the city, I'm afraid it will be chaotic a long time ago! ”
"So they are preparing to leave this city, and there must be some conspiracy in them!" Qin Yude took a sharp breath and glanced around again, "You say, could this be a conspiracy that they deliberately lured us into the city and then surrounded us on all sides?" ”
"But it doesn't make sense why they didn't even destroy the materials in the city." Qin Yuxiang said blankly, "The fewer materials in the city, wouldn't it be easier for them to besiege the city?" ”
"So what the hell are they for? Could it be that something happened in the rear that forced them to go back in a hurry before they had time to do everything? ”
To his question, whether Qin Yuxiang or anyone else, they couldn't give an answer, they just frowned, but they were speechless for a long time.
But no matter what, successfully taking an important city like Nanyang is still an extremely morale-inspiring thing for this Pingtian army.
Even though Qin Yude still had many doubts, but the celebration that should be done was not missing at all, that night, except for a few soldiers and horses who were ordered to guard the city and inspect the surroundings, the other horses were rewarded with wine and meat, and the city celebrated.
As for the people in the city, most of them were killed, not only were they confined to their homes, but many people's belongings, and even women, were robbed by the soldiers of the Pingtian Army who needed to vent under the great victory. But in such a situation, in order to survive, they can only dare to be angry and dare not speak.
In the past half a day, hundreds of people had died under the Pingtian saber, just because they resisted a little, or their words were more fierce.
So on this night, Nanyang City showed an extremely strange scene, on one side the soldiers of the new city were drinking and celebrating with a carnival, and on the other hand, the people of the city were helpless, not daring to make a sound, just begging for their lives.
There is only one thing that can be assured, that is, the hearts of the people of Nanyang will definitely not be on them.
In this regard, Qin Yude did not care, it was an accident to defeat Nanyang, and he did not plan to completely occupy its city, but thought about whether he could take this opportunity to regain the trust of Zhao Guangxiao in Luoyang, so as to form a joint force between the two parties to resist the Dayue court in the south.
And after the wine was hot, some subordinate generals asked in public with a sense of wine: "Governor, then where will we fight next?" ”
"Do you want to take advantage of the victory and continue to attack?" Qin Yude, who was also a little drunk, asked with a smile.
"That's natural, even a granary city like Nanyang has been beaten down by us, and those cities behind it are not easy to capture?"
"That is, the Metropolitan Governor, you will give an order, not only will we take down all the other surrounding cities this time, but even the Liangzhou City must be ours.
"By that time, more than half of the Central Plains will belong to us, and the Metropolitan Governor will be the emperor, and no one will dare to say a word!"
As soon as such a bold statement came out, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more enthusiastic, and countless generals clamored, shouting that they wanted to send troops, to defeat Liangzhou, and to make the governor of the capital the lord of the world!
Although he knew that this was a crazy thing that everyone drank too much under their excitement, Qin Yude was also uneasy after calming down a little: "Could this be the intention of the Vietnamese army to give up Nanyang easily, in order to be proud of our generals, so that we can continue to move forward regardless of the consequences and go to fight a fortified city like Liangzhou?" ”
But in such an atmosphere, even if he wanted to remind his subordinates not to get carried away, he was afraid that he would not succeed, so he could only be perfunctory for the time being, and then secretly calculated, and then contacted Luoyang, so as to form a joint army, and then march into Liangzhou.
As a result, Qin Yude's plan ended in failure a few days later!
He wrote it in his own hand, behaved extremely sincerely, and even was willing to share half of Nanyang's property with Luoyang Zhao Guangxiao's letter, but he didn't impress the other party at all, and the other party only replied - I won't be tricked!
"He won't fall for the ......trick," Qin Yude repeated this sentence dozens of times, and his face was no longer as happy as when he had just won Nanyang, but a look of doubt and anger, "Tell me, what does he mean by this?" ”
The subordinates in front of him fell silent again, in fact, everyone was like him, full of doubts about such an outcome. Such a good thing, Zhao Guangxiao would actually refuse? And he even said what kind of ploy this was, which really makes people wonder what kind of ploy it is.
Until the night, when everyone had dispersed, and Qin Yude wanted to drink again with indignation, Qin Yuxiang suddenly came over: "Big brother, I know what Zhao Guangxiao thinks." ”
"What does he think?" Qin Yude immediately put the wine jug aside, got up and asked.
"He thought that this was a play that we cooperated with the southern court, our sincere letters, and in his opinion, it was a strategy to lead his army out of Luoyang, so as to annihilate it in one fell swoop!"
"How is this possible? How could he have such an idea? How could I do that? ”
Qin Yude was angry and filmed the case again and again, and finally laughed angrily.
However, as Qin Yuxiang understood all the causes and effects that he had finally figured out, his expression finally became solemn.
It was only at this time that Qin Yude figured out where his previous uneasy emotions came from and the next dilemma......
