Chapter 57: None of them can escape
Zhou Junhou's breakthrough plan was not a problem, but he overestimated the strength of his teammates......
This group of pig teammates who couldn't move was even so defeated to escape, although they temporarily escaped from the encirclement of the Yue people, but they were soon caught up by the Yue people who were good at hilly marching.
After being caught up, most of these Huiji soldiers did not choose to resist, but lay down their weapons and begged on their knees......
As more and more of his subordinates gave up resistance, Xie Heng, the commander who saw that there was no hope of escaping, finally couldn't defeat his luck and knelt in front of Pan Long, the leader of the Yue people.
More than 4,000 soldiers came, and in the end, only Zhou Junhou fled alone with more than 100 elites......
————
Seeing that more than 3,000 county soldiers were forced to land under his command without suffering any losses, Pan Long laughed loudly.
Fortunately, I finally decided to follow the advice of the messenger, otherwise I am afraid that the three thousand boiled ducks would have flown away......
Not to mention anything else, the armor, weapons, and logistics materials of these more than 3,000 county soldiers are enough to silence the mouths of those old people in the clan who oppose them.
Those old stubborn people who only know how to hide in the mountains and work in the mountains, if they do not go out of the mountains and forests for generations, how can they let their children and grandchildren change their poor lives?
As long as there are no accidents in the future, his prestige among the clan and even among other Yue tribes will be greatly enhanced.
It seems that this group of Han people who call themselves Longwei Mansion are still somewhat honest and can continue to cooperate.
Pan Long is already looking forward to the next "trip".
The Han envoy said that the equipment of the county soldiers is just a greeting gift, and the family property of the scholars in Dongye City is the main meal!
"Pass the order, let the sons and daughters hurry up and pack up, and assemble and set off after an hour, you can't be entangled in your body for such a small profit, and there is still a lot of meat to eat behind!"
Pan Long smiled and asked the guards behind him to give orders, while taking the war knife presented by Xie Heng on his knees, and then said:
"Give these skinned soldiers to the envoy to deal with, since what he said is true, we Yue people also keep their promises."
Unlike the nomads in the north, the Yue people had little interest in the captured Han people, and if it weren't for the Han envoy's emphasis on his needs, Pan Long would have killed them all......
————
Two hours later, the Yue people happily put on the armor that originally belonged to the Han county soldiers, and set off to Dongye County with their weapons.
It was not early now, but the excited Pan Long still decided to march to Dongye City immediately, and he believed that these clansmen under his command would not refuse this order.
Because in this way, you can sleep sweetly with a Han woman in Dongye City tonight......
"Thank you to the king of Yue for keeping his promise and handing over the prisoners of the county soldiers to the disposal of this envoy."
The envoy of Longwei Mansion came to Pan Long's side to give a salute and thank you.
"Your envoy doesn't have to be polite, if there is no plan for you, these county soldiers can't be captured so easily, before tonight, my Yue army will be able to rush to Dongye City at sunset, I wonder if your envoy can arrange for the city to open the city with fire tonight?"
Pan Long, who had benefited from it, naturally changed his attitude towards the envoy greatly.
"There is nothing wrong with this, but I also need to remind the king of Yue that after entering the city, don't forget the original agreement, only rob the wealth of the Yu family, the Chen family, the Ding family and other scholars in the city, and never bully the Han people! If the Yue people keep the covenant, the envoy will naturally have the advantage of offering. ”
After the envoy agreed, he reminded Pan Long again, although he knew that the Yue people would definitely not keep their promises, but the words had to be said first.
"Hmph, your envoy Hugh wants to underestimate my Yue people, and it's not you Han people who make promises!"
"That's good, in this case, I will meet with the king to drink and talk freely in Dongye City......"
That night, the fire broke out in the west of Dongye City, and the Yue people took advantage of the chaos to attack the city, and the city was suddenly purgatory for adults......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just when Dongye City was broken, Yu Ze had already fled more than 50 miles north with his cronies.
It's a pity that because of the inconvenient terrain when they set out on the expedition, Yu Ze ordered to leave all the horses in Dongye City, otherwise they would have escaped from the Dongye realm now.
Along the way, Yu Ze gradually calmed down, and analyzed what went wrong while running for his life.
I made a big mistake this time.
Although the county soldiers belong to the "public family", they have no connection with the Yu family on the surface, and even if the whole army is destroyed, it has nothing to do with him, and he is only entrusted by the county guard to go with the army as an adviser in his personal name.
But Yu Ze knew that this was only the surface, and the fiasco of the county soldiers would not only disgrace him, but more importantly, it would cause heavy losses in the strength that the four surnames of Huiji had cultivated for many years in the Huiji army!
Don't look at these county soldiers who belong to the county guard on the surface, but in fact, many of the generals and colonels are children or cronies of the four families.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the event of an emergency, at least most of these county soldiers can be used by the four families.
Although their combat strength is not good, they can be regarded as an important military force in Huiji County.
Now, once destroyed, the efforts of the four surnames for many years have come to naught......
Losses can be eaten, but they cannot be eaten in vain, and there must be gains. This is Yu Ze's view all along.
So until late at night, when they were resting in a sheltered place, his subordinates were all asleep due to fatigue, and he was still analyzing who was behind the scenes.
Yu Ze absolutely can't tolerate himself becoming a pawn used by others, in this place, he has always been a chess player, and there is no chess piece that he can't control!
First of all, the thieves can be ruled out, if they have already negotiated with the Yue people, then why rush to chase out of the camp, and engage the county soldiers when the Yue people do not appear?
Wei, Kong, Xie?
Yu Ze shook his head, unlikely.
Suddenly, a figure of a person appeared in his mind, Nie Zhen!
Thinking of this new county guard, who has always been honest and talkative, Yu Ze couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
If his judgment is true, then this person is not simple, if he hadn't stayed as an official at all levels as soon as he came, and was friendly to the scholar clan, he would not have gradually fallen into Nie Zhen's trap!
Now it seems that the county soldiers are all wiped out, the Yue people are rebelling, and the county is in chaos, but in fact, through this operation, Nie Zhen's position will be more solid.
If he couldn't go back, he would definitely put the responsibility for the defeat on himself, and then force the various clans to hand over money and food for Nie Zhen to recruit new pawns on his own......
No, we have to rush back to Sanyin as soon as possible, Yu Ze thought of this and sat up.
He thinks that Nie Zhen will have a series of follow-up plans, and he must rush back to stop it!
"Get up, hurry up and hurry, we must rush to Yongning tomorrow!"
————
After a few hours, the sky was faintly bright.
Yu Ze and others, who had been on the official road all night, finally came to the boundary of Dongye County.
"Work hard, and we'll find a shelter to rest for a few hours after another ten miles."
Yu Ze gave the tired people a lot of atmosphere, and they were temporarily safe after escaping from Dongye County, but in case Yu Ze was not prepared to return from the original way, he was ready to change direction slightly after walking a little longer, and even rushed out by day and night.
Now that Nie Zhen has revealed his true colors, he will not let go of himself, the person who escaped by luck, so he must be cautious along the way.
"Don't move! Who are you waiting for? ”
Before Yu Ze's words fell, dozens of hidden soldiers suddenly jumped out on the side, surrounding Nie Zhen and the others.
"We are Shanyin merchants, who traveled to Dongye, and when they were plundered by the Yue people, they fled here."
Yu Ze did not give up the struggle at this time, and said to these Han soldiers of unknown origin.
"Hmph, this is not credible, and I will talk about it when I return to the camp!"
