Chapter 65: The Secret Guard in Action
Yuwen Chengdu also directly took over the military capital, and the three thousand soldiers, Yuwen Chengdu didn't do much, but let them choose, either to join Yanhou's army, or to become a common man.
These 3,000 soldiers are also perennial veterans, and now that Liu He's troops are insufficient, they naturally have to replenish their troops.
And these three thousand can't affect the overall situation at all, so Yuwen Chengdu dares to let them choose, and there will be no such phenomenon as backwater.
The previous was 20,000 soldiers, which already accounted for one-third of Liu He's troops, of course, they were worried about their loyalty, but these 3,000 couldn't do anything at all.
And they were originally reluctant to become Liu He's troops, but when they heard that Liu He's army was treated very well, Yuwen Chengdu used this to hype up among them.
In this way, more than 2,000 of the 3,000 soldiers were willing to join Liu He's command, and the other 1,000 people, led by the generals defending the city, surrendered because they did not resist, feeling sorry for Gongsun Zhan, and it was impossible to help Liu He attack Gongsun Zhan.
Yuwen Chengdu is also a general, not only did he not say anything, but gave them a lot of money to let them live a quiet life in the military capital.
Yuwen Chengdu stood at the highest place of the city gate, looking at the people below who had returned to their usual days, and his heart was full of emotion.
The people who live in this troubled world have no guarantee for anything, although there is no easy child to eat, but there are many who eat tree bark and wild fruits in order to survive.
These mortality rates are extremely large, and one may die if he is not careful, and now Yuwen Chengdu according to the rules promulgated by Liu He, as long as he takes a place, he will immediately give soup to the kitchen, and he cannot starve to death and freeze to death on the land under Liu He's management.
Now the people and refugees in the military capital have gone to get porridge to eat, which makes the soldiers in the military capital very moved and decided to fight to the death for Liu He.
And Xue Rengui's speed is also very fast, he knows that this battle is a speed war, and he must succeed in taking Fan Yang when they are not prepared.
Otherwise, when Gongsun Chan reacts or Yuan Shao sends troops, it will not be difficult to take the entire Youzhou in the future.
It's just that when Xue Rengui came to the military capital, Yuwen Chengdu had already taken the military capital, and at the same time that all the generals were shocked, the corners of Xue Rengui's mouth rose slightly.
He knew that Yuwen Chengdu would be under pressure and could break through the military capital, but when he knew that Yuwen Chengdu would directly enter the city gate and then persuade three thousand soldiers to surrender, he was also slightly surprised.
Yuwen Chengdu stood on the city gate, looking at Xue Rengui coming with 20,000 cavalry, he was also relieved, he was worried that the people or soldiers in the military capital would inform Fan Yang of Shan Jing.
Now that Xue Rengui is here, he can continue to march directly, and the troops are divided into three routes, so he doesn't worry about knowing that they are coming.
After Xue Rengui entered the city, he heard that Yuwen Chengdu had issued an order to give porridge, and he was also very satisfied, which could greatly win the hearts of the people, and also reduce the risk of the people risking their deaths.
Xue Rengui decided to continue to take other counties, first letting Yan Rou go to Anci with 3,000 cavalry, Beiyan to Changping with 3,000, and Yuwen Chengdu to Junxian with 5,000.
In this way, Guangyang County, where Shan Jing is located, is left behind, where there are about fifteen thousand, and Xue Rengui is still confident that he will succeed in taking Fan Yang within three days.
The three people who heard the order also hurriedly received the order, and immediately led the troops to their mission.
Especially Yan Rou and Beiyan, when they saw Yuwen Chengdu, they directly took the military capital, and their military exploits were already there, and they must not be worse than Yuwen Chengdu this time, or even better.
Yuwen Chengdu also knows that there are many wolves in the army, and on the premise of not affecting the overall situation and feelings, he has always been able to fight, and he is not willing to be a simple soldier.
As the saying goes, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." Yuwen Chengdu only thought about working hard to get military merits and become a famous general.
But if Yuwen Chengdu knew that he directly defected to Liu He, maybe Liu He could directly make him a general, instead of starting as a small soldier in Xue Rengui's army.
And Xue Rengui chose to stay in the military capital, he knew that as one of the four major generals under Gongsun Zhan, it would not be easy to defeat him and take Fan Yang in a short time.
He needs to have a good understanding of Guangyang's situation and the deployment of Shan Jing, so that he can play a good role.
Moreover, it is necessary to pay attention to the movements of Gao Gan and Yuan Shao, not to let them take away the fruits of the revolution, and also to prevent them from sending troops.
And Yan Rou, Yuwen Chengdu and the other three attacked the three places separately, because no one noticed it, the three counties were the same as usual, without any precautions.
However, this time, none of the county commanders of the three counties chose to surrender, but fought to the end, and they had no choice but to attack.
However, except for the army, which has 3,000 soldiers, the other three counties are only a few hundred because they are not the closest to the war.
Because everyone, even Shan Jing, believed that the army had 3,000 soldiers, and even if Liu He or Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses came over, it would be enough to resist for a while.
In this short period of time, the other counties can receive the message and choose the next step, whether to retreat or wait for reinforcements.
Therefore, the other three counties do not have too many troops, which is why Xue Rengui took the risk to send troops, which is the speed of the soldiers.
With five casualties and more than 20 wounded, Yan Rou took Anci County and captured more than 60 people, which was barely a good record.
Beiyan took Changping with seven casualties and more than 30 injuries, only because the county commander of Changping County was born as a military general, and in the face of Beiyan, he killed a few more before he was killed by Beiyan.
In the end, even if no one died in Yuwen Chengdu and more than 20 people were injured, when the soldiers of the military county saw Yuwen Chengdu, they already had no strength to fight.
With all the three counties captured, now only Guangyang County, where Shan Jing is located, has not been captured, and Shan Jing already knows that Xue Rengui led the cavalry south.
Shan Jing knew that Guangyang alone would not be able to stop Xue Rengui, so he immediately asked people to go to the high cadre of Bingzhou, hoping that after he received the news, he could send troops.
After all, now that Xue Rengui is leading his troops south, it will definitely cause the emptiness of Daijun's troops, and Gao Gan and Yuan Shao didn't want Liu He to get a complete Youzhou.
In this way, Xue Rengui may still give up and continue to attack them, and on the other hand, Shan Jing also told Gongsun Zhan, hoping that he would not give up Fan Yang, after all, this is a hope not to be trapped in a cage.
Xue Rengui now knows that the entire Fanyang is now inferior to Guangyang County, but Guangyang County is a big county with a moat, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In addition, Shan Jing had already made a lot of preparations, and for a while, there was no way to break the enemy, so he had to leave the soldiers and horses at a hundred miles outside Guangyang County and began to stay.
On the city tower, Shan Jing was wearing white armor, holding a war knife in his hand, and his eyes were looking at Xue Rengui's army from afar, and he knew that he would hold on for at least five days before it was possible to let Xue Rengui retreat.
But when he was in Xu Wuxian, he once fought with Xue Rengui with Yan Gang there, and he always thought that he was inferior to Yan Gang, but that time Yan Gang was killed by Xue Rengui.
Therefore, Shan Jing was afraid that he would not last for five days, after all, the opponent was Xue Rengui, a white-clothed god general, and he could only let the soldiers stick to the city gate and not give Xue Rengui any chance.
And in a small courtyard at the west gate of the city, a Li Ru wearing a mask and a brocade robe sat on a chair and looked up at the dozens of people below, who were also wearing masks and black clothes.
Li Ru slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, now that General Xue is already outside the city gate, if you want to enter successfully, it depends on you."
"I would like to listen to the orders of the Grand Governor!" Dozens of people already knew about their mission this time, and when they heard Li Ru say this, they replied in unison.
Since Li Ru heard that Xue Rengui had successfully taken Daijun and went to the valley, he was worried that Yuan Shao would send troops, so he chose to go to Fanyang in person to rebel against the family and Haoqiang in the city.
After Li Ru's means, and now Liu He is powerful, the family and the heroes have no choice at all, and the other family is unwilling, and Li Ru killed the chicken and monkey, and with the help of Shan Jing, the whole family was killed.
When the others saw that Li Ru was a little tricky, they easily wiped out a family, and they were naturally very scared in their hearts, plus now Xue Rengui's 20,000 cavalry was outside the city gate.
Therefore, the families in the city are willing to open the city gate, but with Li Ru's person, it is not enough to just open the city gate, he has already mastered the entire quartermaster camp.
This was naturally what Xue Rengui did at the beginning, but Li Ru knew that Shan Jing would take precautions, but the person who betrayed Shan Jing this time was his younger brother Shan Chang.
Shan Chang, as the younger brother of Shan Jing, also led more than 5,000 people in his hands, plus the strength of the family and put something in the quartermaster camp in advance, it is enough!
And these black-clothed people want to unite the power of the family and Shan Chang, and take down Shan Jing directly, in Li Ru's calculations, Xue Rengui doesn't have to make a move at all.
The hazy sky, pitch black, like ink scattered in the sky, exudes a depressing atmosphere, which makes people unhappy.
At this time, Shan Jing was preparing to rest, but when he heard that his younger brother was going, he still went out to meet Shan Chang.
Shan Chang did not wear armor, but was dressed in luxurious clothes, looking very noble, not like a general guarding the border.
Shan Jing put his hands behind his back, looking at Shan Chang like this, his brows furrowed, he was very displeased, and he said without a little anger: "What is the important thing to come here at this time?"
Shan Chang didn't show any expression on his face, but asked softly: "Big brother, this time, I want to live for the Shan family, I don't want to die for General Gongsun."
Shan Chang thought that when Shan Jing heard such words, he would definitely be angry and scold him, but Shan Chang was ready to bow his head and listen patiently to Shan Jing scolding himself.
But he waited for a long time and didn't hear Shan Jing's words, so he began to raise his head bravely and look at Shan Jing.
I saw that Shan Jing had his back against him, and there was a message from behind, "You go, don't stay in Youzhou, go to Jingzhou or Yizhou, even if it's for the Shan family!" ”
"Big brother!"
When Shan Chang heard such words, he couldn't help but scream, and he seemed to regret it a little.
However, it was already late, and with a sound from outside the house, Shan Chang's eyes showed his essence, and he had fainted when he looked at Shan Jing.
Shan Chang closed his eyes, then waved the brocade robe in his hand, took the Shan Jing talisman, and handed it to the black-clothed man of the Xuanmi Guard.
The man in black took the talisman and walked out directly, shouting loudly: "General Shan has an order, now that Xue Rengui has entered the city, for the safety of the people and the safety of the soldiers, immediately put down his weapons!"
With the shouts of the man in black, the pro-army of Shan Chang also began to shout: "Lay down your arms!"
"Lay down your arms!"
