…

Hearing the news that the Tiger Ben Army was about to arrive, Zhang Huiyan, the governor of Muzhou, originally wanted to hold on to the city and wait for rescue.

However, Zhang Huiyan's Muzhou general sentence Ye Juzhong, Jiande County Cheng Cao Yu, and county lieutenant Tong Shu were determined to compete with the Tiger Ben Army.

When the Xuanfeng battalion of the former army of the tiger was approaching the city wall under the leadership of the commander Zhang Datie, Tong Shu saw that the tiger army only had a thousand vanguard troops, and after discussing with Zhang Huiyan and others, he suddenly led the army to attack, trying to defeat the Xuanfeng battalion under the city, and win the first battle, which boosted the morale of the people in the city and strengthened the determination of the people in the city to defend the city.

Not to mention, Zhang Datie, who doesn't have much experience in commanding troops, really caught Tong Shu off guard.

Not to mention anything else, Tong Shu's random shooting before they rushed up caused a lot of casualties to the unprepared soldiers of the Xuanfeng Battalion.

Seeing this, Tong Shu immediately commanded the men and horses to launch an attack on the Xuanfeng battalion.

At the same time, Zhang Datie finally reacted, and asked his subordinates to change the defensive formation of the Mandarin Duck Formation, so that the people holding the long card and the person holding the rattan card stepped forward and prepared to pick up the station, and at the same time commanded the few crossbowmen in his army to launch a counterattack on the Song army by the blocking of the Mandarin Duck Formation.

After a while, the two sides were close to each other.

I have to admit that among the three classes of officials led by Tong Shu and the landlords in the city, there are many fierce and brave people, including even people with strong martial arts, and they also have more than 200 horse troops.

But the problem is that Tong Shu is not leading a regular army, but a miscellaneous army that has been put together, although they are rushing together, they are always fighting in a mess.

In other words, these people led by Tong Shu are fierce, but they don't know how to fight at all.

Take the horse army led by Tong Shu as an example, some people even rode horses and held swords to fight against the Tiger Army, the key is that they did not reflect the advantages of the horse army's speed, strong assault ability, and flexible mobility, and their performance was as if they were sitting on a war horse and fighting with the soldiers of the Tiger Army.

As a result, the two sides fought for a while, and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army, who had initially mastered the mandarin duck formation tactics and the three-three tactics, slowly began to gain the upper hand.

On the other hand, Tong Shu and their side, the more they fight, the more chilling they become, many people can't figure it out, this group of people with messy weapons, and even put a gun head on the big bamboo to hang an iron tip as a weapon, only one-tenth of the two armor-clad anti-thieves are so powerful!

Seeing that his own men and horses were fighting less and less, Tong Shu finally knew that they had kicked the iron plate, and then wanted to withdraw the army.

But at this moment, suddenly two more tiger armies came out from one left and one right.

What made Tong Shu even more shocked was that an army of three or four hundred men and horses circled behind them at great speed, blocking their way back to the city.

The miscellaneous army led by Tong Shu fell into the heavy encirclement of the Tiger Ben Front Army and the Tiger Ben Horse Army, and then was beaten to the ground.

After a while, the middle and rear battalions of the Tiger Ben Front Army also appeared one after another.

Seeing this, Tong Shu, who was lucky enough not to die, could only lead the miscellaneous army with less than three hundred left to surrender.

In this way, Jiande City, which has lost its main force, is like a stripped beauty, as long as Li Cun wants to, she can go up at any time.

Soon after, Tong Shu and the others were tied up and sent to Niu Meng by Wuhuada.

Niu Meng found out the master general Tong Shu, and then personally sent it to Li Cun to invite the merit and receive the reward.

When Li Cun learned that the Xuanfeng battalion had the assistance of the Tiger Ben Horse Army, it fought against a miscellaneous army, and suffered nearly 100 casualties, he really had the heart to slap Niu Meng, who still had the face to reward.

You must know that the reason why the Xuanfeng Battalion can become the general vanguard of the Tiger Ben Army is that the officers and men of the Xuanfeng Battalion are all among the best in the Tiger Ben Army, both in terms of overall quality and training completion.

Moreover, Li Cun was worried that the Tiger Ben Army had no experience in dealing with the enemy, so he sent the Tiger Ben Horse Army to the Tiger Ben Front Army, and also delegated the command to Niu Meng.

But that's it, nearly 100 people were lost by Niu Meng and Zhang Datie, how did this battle work?

But then again, Niu Meng and Zhang Datie won the battle in the end.

Moreover, after all, this is the first battle of the Tiger Ben Army leaving Qingxi, and it cannot lose its sharpness, which makes the morale of the Tiger Ben Army demoralized.

Therefore, Li Cun finally rewarded Niu Meng and Zhang Datie in accordance with the reward and punishment regulations of the Tiger Ben Army.

However, Li Cun then confessed that he would go to the Xuanfeng Battalion in the evening to hold a post-war summary meeting, and all the officers and men participating in the Xuanfeng Battalion would participate, except for the Tiger Benhou Army, which was escorting military families and escorting supplies in the rear, all the generals and supervisors of the rest of the Tiger Ben Army who were above the command level should attend this post-war summary meeting.

After sending Niu Meng away, Li Cun looked at Tong Shu and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Tong Shu was stunned!

- He really didn't expect that Li Cun's persuasion would be so simple and direct!

Tong Shu tilted her head and "hummed", with a posture of seeing death as home!

Seeing this, Li Cun stopped talking nonsense, and ordered straightforwardly: "Push it out and cut it." ”

“？”

Tong Shu was startled and hurriedly said, "Slow! ”

Li Cun asked, "Do you still have something to say?" ”

"I ......"

Tong Shuxin said: "If I have nothing to say, I have to die, there is only one life, if it is gone, there will be nothing!" ”

Seeing that Tong Shu was not happy at all, Li Cun said impatiently: "I only ask you once, are you willing to surrender?" ”

"I ......"

Tong Shu wanted to descend, but she couldn't pull her face a little.

Seeing this, Li Cun not only did not persuade Tong Shu again, but also said bluntly: "Don't say that I will deceive you when you turn around, I will explain to you first, if you surrender, you need to submit a letter of surrender, otherwise I will still kill you, so you still think about whether to surrender." ”

Hearing Li Cun say this, Tong Shu immediately reacted, Li Cun really didn't care if he surrendered or not, and he dared not surrender and would really kill him directly.

Tong Shu looked up to the sky and sighed!

Just when Li Cun thought that Tong Shu was going to be heroic and righteous, a sentence suddenly popped out of Tong Shu's mouth: "The villain is willing to persuade the people in Jiande City to surrender for the general." ”

The rest is simple.

The people in Jiande City, who were already cornered, soon surrendered under the leadership of Zhang Huiyan after having the step of Tong Shu.

Zhang Huiyan, Ye Juzhong and Cao Yu also gave Li Cun a bitter trick and tied themselves up.

In this regard, Li Cun did not personally untie Zhang Huiyan, Ye Juzhong and Cao Yu, nor did he ask someone to directly kill Zhang Huiyan, Ye Juzhong and Cao Yu, but asked Tong Shu to draw up a list of all the people involved in the resistance.

At the same time, Li Cun did not carry Tong Shu behind his back, and asked other people who surrendered to draw up a list of people who participated in the resistance.

In this way, naturally no one dares to cheat.

Subsequently, Li Cun ordered, according to the list provided by Tong Shu, all those who participated in the resistance and refused to surrender were to have their homes raided, all men beheaded, and women rewarded meritorious soldiers; Those who participated in the resistance and surrendered were raided and spared the lives of their families; As for those who did not participate in the resistance, Qiu did not commit any crimes.

After that, Li Cun issued another order that all the people in Jiande City did not expect, that is, except for the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army who carried out the task of garrisoning Jiande City and carrying out the task of raiding their homes, the rest of the soldiers of the Tiger Army, including himself, were not allowed to enter the city to disturb the people.

As for the grain, war horses, livestock, weapons, cloth, boats, iron bars, horns, cowhides, tendons, sheepskins, arrow shafts, feathers and other things that Li Cun wanted, except for the raid of the official treasury and the house of sinners, Li Cun bought them all from the people in Jiande City, and the price was at least two percent higher than the market price.

In other words, apart from liquidating those who dared to resist, Li Cun could really say that Qiu did not commit any offense to others.

This was undoubtedly a great relief to the people in the city.

In addition, Li Cun also asked people to open a place in front of the city gate to recruit the rebels, and asked a group of cadres of the reserve supervision army to tell the ideals, propositions and treatment of the Tiger Ben Army to everyone who has the intention of joining the Tiger Ben Army.

At the same time, Li Cun also asked Tong Shu to write and send a talent list for Li Cun.

Different from ordinary talent seeking, Li Cun not only sought literati and military generals, but also craftsmen, shipwrights, and people with various crafts.

It can almost be said that as long as there is a person with a skill, Li Cun wants it, and the treatment he gives is very high.

But there is one thing, whether it is recruiting troops or recruiting talents, Li Cun only gives a three-day time limit, and even if it is one day on the day of release - three days later, Li Cun will leave people to continue to recruit and recruit talents, but this is a mess, and it is not easy to say whether the recruited soldiers and talents can successfully catch up with the large army of the Tiger Ben Army.

Someone asked, does Li Cun do this because he doesn't want recruits and talents?

Wrong.

Miss by a mile.

On the contrary, Li Cun definitely needs more soldiers and talents now, especially the latter.

Let's put it this way, although Jiande City was defeated, Li Cun had to temporarily reinstate Zhang Huiyan, Ye Juzhong, Cao Yu and Tong Shu because there was no one to govern Jiande City.

——In order to ensure that Jiande City was under his rule, Li Cun had to order the soldiers stationed in Jiande City to take care of Zhang Huiyan and others, that is, Zhang Huiyan and other old officials of Zhao and Song were in charge of the people, and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army stationed in Jiande City were in charge of Zhang Huiyan and these old officials of Zhao and Song.

Li Cun didn't know that if he did this, he would definitely have endless troubles.

But who let Li Cun have no talents for governance.

Do you want Li Cun to use these big soldiers who don't know a single big character to govern?

Li Cun estimated that if he really did this, he would definitely soon cause the people to complain, and even hate him to the core.

Now, Li Cun didn't dare to ask for anything else, he only hoped to recruit some frustrated literati, and then let these literati serve as staff officers of the left-behind troops, lest these simple-minded big-headed soldiers be sold by these old officials of Zhao and Song and help them count the money.

Some people may be puzzled, Li Cundu is already so short of talents, why does it only take three days to recruit talents?

That's because Li Cun has no time.

It's November 24th.

In more than a month, it will be the first month, and at that time, Tong Guan will lead the most capable western army of the Zhao and Song Dynasty to the south.

Before that, Li Cun had to fight to Zhenjiang to block the passage of the Song army to the south, and if he could, Li Cun even wanted to hit the Huai River line and completely block the road for the Song army to go south from the eastern front.

If Zhao Song could give Li Cun another chance, Li Cun would definitely go up the river and occupy Xiangyang and even the entire Jingxiang region by himself.

In such a short period of time, to hit such a long distance, in this era when there are no advanced means of transportation, it is definitely a huge test.

Therefore, at this stage, Li Cun can only come soon.

Of course, Li Cun can't always manage the territory he has won like this.

After Li Cun really lays down a territory of his own, Li Cun will definitely conduct the imperial examination and select talents.

Now, it can only be the lesser of two evils......
