Chapter 189: Aftermath
Nashi trembled and told what had happened.
At this moment, Wu Ju's body was still on the city wall.
He didn't understand why he died until he died.
There were more than a thousand defenders on the city wall, and when he heard the sound of Cao Jun's drums, he made a decisive decision to let these people kill Jian Yong and Zhao Yun.
But he never imagined that in the siege of more than 100 people, Zhao Yun not only killed many people, but also rushed to his approach.
It just so happened that his soldiers missed and killed Jian Yong, who was stubbornly resisting, and Zhao Yun's eyes immediately turned red.
Zhao Yun knew that Wu Ju wanted to betray Liu Bei and betray Adou, so he stopped talking nonsense with Wu Ju, stabbed Wu Ju to death with the knife he snatched, and then jumped into the city.
It was at that time that the whole Guangxin was in chaos.
The captain is gone, the Taishou is gone, Jian Yong, who could have survived the scene, died, and Zhao Yun became the enemy of the defenders.
The defenders didn't know who to listen to, so they could only instinctively do Wu Ju's last command, kill Zhao Yun and open the city gate.
As a result, Zhao Yun was not killed, and the city gate was cut open by Zhao Yun first, and they were all shocked by Zhao Yun's bravery, and no one dared to go out.
Fortunately, the old general who entered the door pardoned them.
When Cao Wu entered the city, he was also surprised when he heard the news.
It's really a creation to make people, he didn't want to kill Wu Ju, but he just wanted to take Wu Ju's military power according to the usual practice, and let him go to Xu Capital to be an idle post and retire.
With Wu Ju's qualifications, it is naturally impossible to be Jiuqing, but it is more than enough to be a counselor and a doctor in Taizhong.
When Wu Ju is gone, Cangwu, the gateway to Jiaozhou, and the second largest county in Jiaozhou, will completely fall into his hands, and when the time comes, he will arrange a trustworthy person to be the guard, and he will have the backing to attack the entire Jiaozhou, and the transportation of grain and grass will become extremely convenient.
However, people are not as good as heaven, Wu Ju is dead, and those who can suppress Cangwu are dead, and it will become difficult to subdue Cangwu again.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to hold Zhao Yun accountable for killing Wu Ju, after all, Jian Yong also died in that fight.
But no matter what, it is always necessary to stabilize the situation first.
Cao Wu went up to the city wall and saw the tragic battlefield on the city wall, as well as Wu Ju's fat corpse.
Wu Ju probably never dreamed that Guangxin City, which he had run all his life, had not resisted any foreign enemies, and the only battle that occurred was the internal battle on the city wall.
Zhao Yun and Jian Yong, or mainly Zhao Yun, killed nearly 100 people.
You must know that this is the era of cold weapons, Zhao Yun did not ride a horse, foot combat against foot combat, this kind of killing number can be called a heavenly person, and it is a world of difference from ordinary people.
In this era when Lu Bu and Dian Wei died one after another, Zhao Yun's martial arts can be called the top three in the world, and he is even expected to be the first, and he is on a par with Guan Yu and several others.
Cao Wuchang sighed and asked Lu Xun to arrange for someone to clean up the bodies of Wu Ju and Jian Yong, both of whom were also characters of one side and should be buried properly.
Lu Xun took the order and went.
Cao Wu stood at the head of Guangxin City, looking out of the city, the camp guarded by Lejin, and the flag on the top was still fluttering in the wind.
In just two days, he took Guangxin without blood, and the battle was perfect.
Cao Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said to Diao Chan: "You said that I used these conspiracies, is it wrong?" ”
Diao Chan walked up, pinched Cao Wu's shoulders at the head of the city, and said while pinching: "Because of Cao Lang's strategy, hundreds of people are spared the flames of war, hundreds of people do not need to be displaced, and countless soldiers do not need to persevere, how can it be wrong." For the sake of all the people, for the sake of the people, there should be more such conspiracies and tricks. Besides, Captain Biqiu's ambush of the enemy army and General Huang's three arrows to break the city are all battles, how can they be considered conspiracy? ”
Cao Wuye was only touched by Zhao Yun's bravery, and quickly threw away this idea between Diao Chan's presses, Diao Chan was right, it was best for the people to take the city without blood.
Next, it is necessary to recover the counties that originally belonged to the jurisdiction of Cangwu.
There are ten counties in Cangwu, namely Guangxin, Xie Mu, Gaoyao, Fengyang, Linhe, Duanxi, Fengcheng, Fuchuan, Lipu, Mengling, among which Guangxin, Fengyang and other places from the north have been subdued, and there are six counties that have not been subdued.
Cao Wu's idea was to let the officials who were still alive in Guangxin City, even if they were just minor officials, take the heads of the district to persuade these counties.
But there is a problem here, although Wu Ju's ability is not outstanding, but when he was alive, the entire territory of Cangwu was his territory, and the county magistrates and county magistrates were also personally appointed by him, and they obeyed him.
This is a trouble, Cao Wu let the generals discuss, Xing Daorong was the first to stand up and said: "General Beifu gave me 5,000 soldiers and horses, and I will sweep the six counties!" ”
Wei Yan immediately rushed and said: "I only need four thousand!" ”
In the past, he didn't dare to do it against a Taishou cronie like Xing Daorong, but time has changed, he has Cao Wu's trust, and today he is protecting Huang Zhong on the battlefield, and he has a share of the credit for capturing Guangxin, and his waist can't help but stiffen when he speaks.
Cao Wu was stunned, crying and laughing, this can still be rolled, the next general will not say that he can level six counties with 3,000!
Fortunately, Zhang Liao said peacefully: "Cangwu's military strength is still concentrated in Guangxin, as well as the 8,000 people in the north, and the troops in the six counties are not much. ”
Cao Wu's eyes lit up, this is a good idea.
So on the basis of his own ideas, he added the idea of the general leading 500 people with him.
So, he transferred six generals including Xing Daorong and Wei Yan, each with 500 paces to ride, and waited until dawn the next day, so he took the officials in Guangxin City to the six counties to say surrender.
However, Cao Wu also clearly pointed out that if the six counties did not open the city gate and did not attack, they still needed to face the Jiangdong army, and they did not know the details of Jiangdong, so they could not easily risk losing their troops.
Fortunately, if they can control Cangwu, the Jiangdong Army will only have to come to the aid by sea, and Zhou Yu's department, which has entered Jiaozhi, will become a lone army.
When Cangwu didn't take it, it was Cao Wu who was in a hurry, and Cangwu was in hand, so it was time for Zhou Yu to be anxious.
After arranging all this, Lu Xun reported that the officials who were still alive in Guangxin City, as well as some of the squires, asked to see him, but Cao Wu didn't want to see these people at all, so he asked Lu Xun, a staff member, to receive them.
Lu Xun is an official official to be recruited in the Northern Mansion, although his identity cannot be revealed, his status is very high, seeing that these people are enough, Cao Wu is not willing to do these trivial things.
He went to see Zhao Yun's injury first, Zhao Yun was still in a coma, relying on medicine to hang himself, and he didn't know when he would wake up, it seemed that even if he faced the siege of so many defenders on the city wall, he didn't end well.
Then, he came to the place where Mi Zhen and Adou were.
Before Wu Ju turned his face, he was not lazy with Liu Bei's wife and son, and used one of his own idle mansions, and there were several maids.
Mi Zhen has finally enjoyed the service of someone since Xinye fled south, but he was not happy for a few days, the city was broken, Taishou died, Jian Yong died, Zhao Yun was seriously injured, and fate was really impermanent.
She was washing her face with tears when she heard that Cao Wu, the general of Beifu, was coming, and she was startled.
"General Beifu...... Cao thief's brother, Cao thief, ah! ”
Mi Zhen's face turned pale.
Cao Wu came in and sat down politely, Mi Zhen's heart was pounding, and she didn't dare to face Cao Wu.
She wanted to commit suicide by throwing herself into a well, but Adou still needed someone to take care of her, so she bit her lip and didn't dare to say more.
Cao Wudao: "Mrs. Mi, Cao came here because of a reluctant invitation......
"No way!"
Mi Zhen stood up suddenly, her white paper-like face full of horror.
Cao Wuyi was stunned, why didn't she ask her to help persuade Zhao Yun, she was in a hurry.
