Chapter 74: Into the City

Guan Shengyun sat in the lobby of the Shaanzhou Mansion, staring at the few people below with blazing eyes: Ma Wensheng, who had collapsed into a puddle of mud, Pan Ding, who hung his head and said nothing, Jing Xiangshan, who was lying on the ground with a foul smell, and Wang Jian, who was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed with his face covered in blood.

With Liu Shiting's intelligence and strategy, the generals temporarily adjusted their attack plans, and it took almost no much effort to break through the Shaanzhou Mansion.

In order to act quickly, Gu Baihua's two infantry teams, which were used as sharp knives, were only half-armored, and each of them had a strip of cloth tied to their arms to identify friend and foe, and suddenly launched an attack on the city gate before dawn. The Liujia Divine Soldiers, who had been stupid for half a night, were drowsy waiting for Liu Shenxian to invite God, but they didn't expect to suddenly kill such a group of evil ghosts, scrambling to run towards the door, and under the crowding and trampling of each other, the knife cart and wooden cage were completely useless.

The two teams brought back by Gu Baihua were veterans of the battlefield, and they did not blindly rush, and Team B dispersed the officers and soldiers who were resting under the south wall and preparing to counterattack, and after firmly controlling the city gate hole, they began to spread on the spot. Gao Tengdou didn't wait for the fire to come out of the city and also commanded the Flying Tiger Battalion to follow up, but because of the armor to save physical strength, it was just a little slower, Gu Baihua's B team had just set up a defensive formation, and the Flying Tiger Battalion strode into the battle. By the time fires lit up all over the city, the first people of the Flying Bear Camp had already begun to climb the ladder!

Wang Jian, who woke up suddenly, had just opened his mouth to order the reserve team to assemble to block it, when he found a long knife slashing straight down at his top door, hurriedly dodged away, and then fell into a bitter fight. The thief didn't change his tricks, he slashed down one after another like a sadist, and he couldn't resist it, he was hit hard by something in the back of his head, his eyes were black, and he was already here when he woke up. The thieves shouted loudly and knelt down, how could the dignified court officials kneel to the thieves? He was kicked hard in the back and couldn't help but lie on the ground again.

Gu Baihua rushed to the city wall with Team A, and at first sight, he saw Wang Jian with a red tassel on his helmet, and of course he found him. As soon as they fought, they knew that Wang Jian's physical strength was at the end of the crossbow, and he was intent on capturing him alive, so he didn't make any killing moves, but he slashed vigorously with a knife from the left and a knife from the right, forcing Wang Jian to barely parry. In a moment, the defenders on this section of the city wall either died or fled, leaving only Gu Baihua teasing Wang Jian, even slashing more than a dozen times and feeling that this guy was almost unable to raise his arm, Gu Baihua was also a little interested, and nodded at Liang Laosi, who picked up the big gun, and the tail rod was sturdy and slapped on Wang Jian's iron helmet......

Pan Ding was wearing an official robe, and naturally life was worth more than death, Jing Xiangshan was not killed on the spot because someone noticed the official boots on his feet, and Ma Wensheng was dragged out from under the bed.

The Flying Tiger Battalion, which came in through the city gate, went directly to the wall, and after converging the Flying Bear Battalion that climbed the ladder, the two battalions dispersed the defenders along the city wall, and the Flying Leopard Battalion, which came in through the city gate, went straight to the yamen of the state capital. At that time, the yamen was easy to find, just walk all the way down the city gate avenue, and the state warehouse and the state treasury were also next to the state yamen. The door in the backyard of the state government was bolted, but the wall was not high, so everyone stepped on the shoulder. The bedroom door was locked, and there was no one on the footbed in front of the bed after it was knocked open, and fools knew where the dog officer was hiding. Ma Wensheng was trembling under the bed, when he saw a few fierce faces leaning down and grinning at him, and his scalp was pulled out by his hair.

Before noon (eleven o'clock in the morning), the other gates were cleared. However, outside the city, You Futian, Zhang Dinggu, Bai Song, and others all received orders: stay in place, and they were not allowed to enter the city without following orders.

For a time, the soldiers who were full of hope of going into the city to rob and make a fortune scolded all day long.

Scolding and scolding is just a natural emotional vent - after all, even Guan Shengyun's Breaking Sky Pro Barracks is still stationed outside the South Gate, and everyone really has nothing to say. The generals, who already had some experience, knew in their hearts that this was necessary: if they entered the city at this time, the soldiers would scatter to loot and rape, and the army structure would cease to exist in an instant, and it would not be possible to recover for three or five days.

The troops who had already entered the city, from the battalion officer to the team officer, had received clear and stern orders in advance: Gu Baihua's two teams temporarily served as the commander's guard to protect the state government; Bounded by the avenue from the south gate to the state office, the Flying Tiger Battalion is responsible for the west of the city, and the Flying Leopard Battalion is responsible for the east of the city, searching for the remnants of the official army; Two infantry teams of the Flying Bear Battalion guarded the state Cangzhou warehouse, and the other two teams guarded the prisoners.

Luo Yonghao took Luo Shifan, under the guidance of Liu Shiting, to survey the houses in the city, write down what from time to time, and mark the doors of some large households with lime.

At this time, the generals, especially Luo Yonghao, were in a very happy mood. An easy victory is still in place - the important place of the soldiers, the important town of the three provinces, the city was broken in two days, and the casualties of your own side are almost negligible...... There's no need to slaughter the city! Everyone let go of the big stone in their hearts.

Ma Wensheng's face was full of snot and tears, and he prostrated one by one "king" and "righteous teacher" to beg for mercy, Guan Shengyun didn't speak, just looked at him with interest. Pan Ding, who was like ashes, couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded: "Ma Wensheng (the ancients wanted to call each other by name, and calling them by name is no different from pointing their noses and scolding the eighteenth generation of their ancestors), you are so shameless!" Jing Xiangshan, who had a broken leg, was lying on the ground, inhaling in pain while glaring angrily, and Wang Jian also snorted heavily at the side.

Guan Shengyun had already learned from Liu Shiting about the past year in Shaanzhou, and the situation in front of him further confirmed that what Liu Shiting said was true. There are still a lot of things to do at the moment, and catching these guys is just to satisfy curiosity and go through the motions, seeing Luo Yonghao coming back, Guan Shengyun waved his hand and asked Guan Yehuo to take them all to the prison first. Luo Yonghao noticed Jing Xiangshan's broken leg, gave birth to a trace of compassion, and instructed Luo Shifan to find him a Langzhong. Luo Shifan agreed and followed out, went out, rolled his eyes, and said something to Guan Yehuo, Guan Yehuo nodded and escorted a few people away.

Luo Yonghao took the record and explained it to Guan Shengyun and the generals, and after confirming that everyone understood, Guan Shengyun ordered: In addition to the auxiliary battalion, the water battalion and the guard pond cavalry bayonet on duty in shifts, all departments entered the city in turn according to the arrangement of Luo's military division.

The circle that Luo Yonghao walked was to arrange for the troops to camp in the city. The generals all live in or near the state office, which is convenient for Guan Shengyun to directly command, each battalion is assigned to a city, the battalion officers and guards will stay in the designated mansion, the location Luo Yonghao has marked, the generals will directly convey the military orders to the battalion officers from the heralds, and almost every street will arrange a foot team to live, the residence of the team officer, the battalion officer must know the chest, the larger shop on the street lives in a fruit, and the smaller one is arranged by the team officer and the fruit chief, but in order to prevent accidents, at least three or five soldiers are not allowed to act alone in a groupAfter the battalion officer gives the order, the team officer either sounds the gong or blows the whistle, and the infantry team is disbanded; Three whistles sounded the next morning, and everyone went out to gather...... Don't kill unless you're attacked! As for robbery and rape, since it is impossible to control it, Luo Yonghao just mentioned his mouth and passed by. Sooner or later, rebellion is a dead end, and pleasure is a moment - besides, if you don't let the sons and daughters taste some sweetness, who will be willing to die next time you attack the city?

The offensive went smoothly, and the defenders of Shaanzhou Mansion's grain, equipment, and silver treasury did not have time to destroy, and Guan Shengyun made another ruthless move.

Luoyang, the capital city of Henan Prefecture, has not received news from Shaanzhou Mansion for more than ten days, and the prefect Qi Xiaoguang feels a little strange, and he doesn't know what Ma Wensheng is doing. Qi Xiaoguang didn't like Ma Wensheng at all - not only did he not like it, but he was simply contemptuous and wary.

Luoyang is the domain of King Shou. The first emperor liked King Shou very much, and it was once rumored that the first emperor had more than once moved the idea of changing the East Palace, but in the end he was blocked by the cabinet. Most of this is not groundless, and King Shou was kept in the palace by the emperor until he was seventeen years old. The courtiers kept writing, and even some of the officials openly said the words "filthy harem" in the recital - this is no longer an insinuation, it is simply pointing at the bald man and scolding the monk, and the first emperor issued an order to let King Shou become a vassal (come to the fiefdom palace), and then, in one breath, he gave ten thousand hectares of fertile land! Six branches to the matter, Yushitai (the Ming Dynasty changed its name to the Imperial Palace, but people are used to using the old name) is naturally noisy, the most ruthless is the household department, Shang Shulin directly asked to retire home to recuperate, absolutely attached an account page after the fold: how much Tian Fu collected, and how much expenses! Lord Lin's meaning couldn't be clearer: The national income is here, and you will draw a large sum of money to King Shou, and I can't open the salary of hundreds of officials! I'm not going to do this job, so look for whoever you like! The first emperor also knew that he was at a loss, and reluctantly reduced it by half - it didn't take long for some of the impervious ghosts to come up with an idea and come up with a way to add it back!

The Ming Dynasty vassal king's money was customized, and this money and grain were issued by the state treasury. There are two kinds of fields, one is called Ashida, which is the ancestral property, and the other is called Zhuangtian, which is a fertile land that has been turned into a wasteland given by the Imperial Court. As for what the Son of Heaven gave to the vassal king, it was in addition to these two. In fact, it is not really land, but the grain produced by the land - where the fief is, it is allocated by the provincial treasury. Taking King Shou of Luoyang as an example, the first emperor said that he would give 10,000 hectares of land, but in practice, Henan Province took out money and grain equivalent to 10,000 hectares of land from the field endowment and allocated it to King Shou. For Yu Province, this is a heavy burden that cannot be borne at all. At first, the emperor only cared about loving King Shou, and he didn't think about it so much, but when everyone made a collective fuss, he also understood that it was not okay to mess around like this. However, there is a lack of morality and a bad idea: a province must not be able to carry it by itself, but, the whole world is not the king's land - wouldn't it be nice to find other provinces to share it! As a result, Huguang and Liangjiang were also bloodied......

Being a magistrate in the fief of the vassal king is a lot of trouble in itself - although there is no actual governing power, but the family is a clan with golden branches and jade leaves, and it is impossible to offend, let alone King Shou, who is deeply favored by the emperor! Qi Xiaoguang was walking on thin ice all day long, and then there was such a red-eyed wolf in the Shaanzhou Mansion of the provincial government as the governor - the red-eyed wolf was the nickname that Qi Xiaoguang gave Marven in private, which is quite appropriate: climb up with red eyes, and I don't know when I will bite you!

I haven't received any news from Shaanzhou for many days, and I don't know what the guy is doing or what is bad, so Qi Xiaoguang sent someone to take a look. Unexpectedly, the people sent out were like mud cows into the sea and had no news, so the prefect Qi was worried.

At the beginning of the twentieth day, Qi Zhifu suddenly heard a gossip: a huge thief has captured Shaanzhou Mansion and has slaughtered the whole city!
