Chapter 299 Breaking the City

Chapter 299 City Breakdown

What Sun Shaojian said about Ji Xuan's actions were all true. Because he told the time, place, and people who participated in it in detail, as if he saw it with his own eyes, it was hard for people to believe it or not.

Ji Xuan narrowed his eyes, he really wanted to kill Sun Shaojian, but if he wanted to kill Sun Shaojian, it would be impossible to kill him with an arrow, unless he opened the city gate and sent troops to kill him. But in a frontal battle with the Northwest Army, they will undoubtedly lose, so it is absolutely impossible to open the city gate. Then the problem comes, if you don't open the city gate to kill Sun Shaojian, then you can't stop Sun Shaojian's mouth.

Sun Shaojian first exposed all the evil things that Ji Xuan did, and then said what Yun Qing did: "General Yun confiscated the gold and silver of corrupt officials, and used it to pay the Northwest Army and those in Yucheng. Pensions for soldiers who died in battle..."

At this time, a soldier standing in front holding a shield suddenly raised his voice and said: "Our general not only adopted the children of those soldiers who died in battle, provided their children with clothes and food, but also asked Mr. to teach them to read and write. "For these soldiers who wear their lives on their belts, what they fear most is that they will have an accident, leaving orphans and widows unable to live. Therefore, many soldiers dare not marry wives and have children. And Yu Xi adopted those children, making them feel that they have no worries. As Mr. Song said, Yuxi's move was to buy people's hearts, and it was very successful.

Leng Bufeng said: "General, it's not good. If he continues to talk like this, it will definitely shake the morale of the army." At this time, Leng Bufeng wished he could strangle Sun Shaojian to death.

Seeing Ji Xuan's silence, the coldness made the people around him start to refute. It's a pity that the voice of this rebuttal is obviously pale and weak.

Sun Shaojian talked for a long time, and when he saw that it was almost done, he raised his voice and shouted: "Brothers, Old Dog Ji eats our flesh and drinks our blood, poisons our parents and sisters, why do we still work for him? If you have a little blood, you shouldn't help the evildoers."

Ji Xuan looked in Yunqing's direction, and said: "It is said that Yunqing is a hero who stands up to heaven and earth, but he never expected that he would use such an unsightly trick. Yunqing, if you are a man, stand up and fight with me!" Do it with real guns, don't shrink your head and be a turtle."

Yunqing is not stupid, how could he be fooled at this time. Yun Qing shouted at the people on the city wall: "If you don't help the tyrant anymore, I promise not to kill you; and if you want to go home, I won't stop you."

Some of these soldiers were captured by the strong men, and they were not willing to serve as soldiers. Some of them were moved when they heard that Yun Qing would let them go home.

Ji Xuan was about to send his personal guards to tell these people that if they dared to commit treason, Yun Qing waved his hand and said, "Siege the city..."

In this siege, Yun Qing did not stay in the rear to command, but personally went into battle to kill the enemy. Yuan Ying, Feng Dajun and other generals were all killed in battle, and Sun Shaojian's words not only hit the morale of the defenders, but also inspired the morale of the Northwest Army.

Seeing that the soldiers guarding the city were not as brave as before, Ji Xuan knew something was wrong, and immediately ordered Leng Bufeng to lead his troops to resist the Northwest Army, and then asked his cronies to supervise the battle, and those who dared to resist passively would be killed.

Sun Shaojian's words successfully ignited the anger in the hearts of many defenders of the city. They resisted desperately before because they thought that the Northwest Army was really killing, looting, and burning them all. Now knowing that it was a rumor, these people were naturally shaken, and after the supervising team came and killed more than a hundred people, they completely ignited their anger.

A soldier saw his good brother being killed by the Supervising Team, and immediately yelled, "Kill these sons of bitches." go.

The anger was ignited and could not be extinguished.

Bao Yong watched the cronies sent out to supervise the battle being killed by the soldiers defending the city from above, his face changed drastically, and he said, "My lord, let's leave here quickly!" If they don't leave, they will be killed without waiting for the city to be broken Killed by these defecting soldiers.

Ji Xuan is also a person who is afraid of death. Seeing that the Northwest Army is fighting more and more fiercely, while the defenders are getting weaker and weaker, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go."

A quarter of an hour later, Leng Bufeng's confidant told him about it: "General, the governor has led his troops out of Lanzhou City. General, let's go too!" The Northwest Army's offensive was too fierce, and the following The soldiers are not strong enough, if the fight continues, they will die. Yun Qing only said not to kill those soldiers, but he didn't say not to kill them.

Leng Bufeng is also a pity for his life, otherwise he would not be huddled in the rear when fighting that day. Now that he knew that Ji Xuan had run away, he didn't have the mood to kill the enemy, so he immediately brought his cronies along and started to run away.

The run of the two was immediately discovered. The caring person immediately shouted loudly: "The governor ran away with General Leng Bufeng..."

With Ji Xuan and Leng Bufeng running away, the remaining 50,000 people are still willing to fight with the Northwest Army. Yun Qing also said that the surrender would not be killed, so all the remaining soldiers put down their weapons and surrendered.

Standing on the city wall, Feng Dajun looked at the crowd of squatting people below, and said, "I didn't expect to come up so easily." Up to now, Feng Dajun is still in a daze. The victory came so fast, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable. confidence.

Yun Qing looked at the people squatting below, and raised his voice and said: "If you want to go home, you can go back tomorrow. If you are willing to stay, I welcome it." Their current number of troops is too small, plus the previous prisoners , There are only more than 70,000 people, and the number of people must be expanded.

As soon as this was said, someone below raised his head and shouted: "General, I am willing to stay." With the military salary, if they die in battle, their children will still be taken care of, and there is Shunian, so they have to go home after doing anything.

After the city is conquered, there are too many things that need to be done. Yuan Ying, Guan Tai and others are already familiar with copying the homes of those corrupt officials, rich businessmen and squires. The other is to collect food, grass and medicinal materials, and to settle these surrendered personnel. All of a sudden, those able-bodied officers under Yunqing were all busy.

It was dark and Cui Mo came back. Cui Mo brought Leng Bufeng's head back, and when he saw Yun Qing, he said guiltily: "General, let that old dog Ji Xuan run away." Now, everyone under Yun Qing is called Ji Xuanwei Old dog.

Feng Dajun happened to be looking for Yunqing to discuss matters, and when he heard that Ji Xuan had run away, he immediately glared at Cui Mo and said, "How can you let Ji Xuan run away?" Ji Xuan's running away is definitely a big trouble.

Cui Mo said: "Ji Xuan asked his confidant to pretend to be him, but he himself took a small route." Speaking of which, this time it was really a miscalculation. After he caught the fake, he turned around and looked for Ji Xuan. blacken. Because of Yunqing's order, he must return to Lanzhou City before dark, so Cui Mo didn't send Ji Xuan to chase him.

Yun Qing said: "I got the news in the afternoon that Chen Wei is on his way to Lanzhou, and according to the schedule, he should arrive soon." For Yun Qing, what he wants now is security. In case of encountering Chen Wei in an unfamiliar and complex terrain, even if the cavalry is powerful, they will suffer heavy losses. These cavalry, whether they were men or horses, were treasures to the Northwest Army, and they could not be sacrificed in vain.

Cui Mo's eyes lit up, he was gearing up, and said, "I'm not afraid of him coming, I'm afraid he won't come." The cavalry was useless in this siege. For Chen Wei, it will definitely come in handy.

Of the 50,000 people left in Lanzhou City, 30,000 stayed behind, and 20,000 wanted to go home. After Yun Qing knew it, he ordered to go down and give each of these soldiers who wanted to go home a tael of silver. At this time, inflation is so severe that a tael of silver can't actually buy anything. But it's better than nothing.

After occupying Lanzhou City, Yunqing was not in a hurry to lead troops to continue to capture the next territory, but let the army rest in Lanzhou City. The 30,000 people led by Du Zheng drove non-stop for half a month, and then fought for another day. If they didn't rest, Iron Man couldn't stand it.

While Yunqing wanted to rectify military affairs, he also wanted to deal with the affairs in Lanzhou City. Fortunately, he was used to military affairs, and he had his own way of dealing with them. However, the affairs of this place are not easy to deal with, and the position of chief envoy is extremely important. For a while, he really doesn't have a reliable candidate.

Just when he was in a state of desperation, he heard Gao Song say that Tan Tuo and the magistrate Tan Tuo had arrived.

As soon as Tan Tuo saw Yun Qing, he didn't need Yun Qing to ask, he explained his intention first: "Madam wrote to me and asked me to come here." After speaking, he took out a letter from his sleeve, Passed both hands to Yunqing.

The letter was written on December 15th, which was also the third day after he set off. In the letter, Yuxi asked Tan Tuo to let go of the prefect of Xinping City and go to Yunqing. As for what to do with Yunqing, Yuxi didn't say anything in the letter.

Yun Qing smiled, probably because Yu Xi knew that he was tired of dealing with these things, so he sent Tan Tuo to help. Yun Qing said to Tan Tuo: "It's just right, I have a lot of things on hand, you can help me take care of them." There are too many trivial things in this place, and he has a headache to death.

As the magistrate, Tan Tuo was in charge of the affairs of a state. With Tan Tuo's help, Yunqing felt a lot easier.

On the third day, Yunqing asked Tan Tuo: "If you are asked to be the Chief Political Officer of Gansu Province, can you do it?" The Chief Executive of Gansu Province is the highest administrative officer in Gansu Province.

Tan Tuo was very excited, but he has been very experienced in the city over the years, and he didn't show any abnormalities on his face. He said to Yunqing: "General, if you give me this chance, I will definitely manage Gansu well." The magistrate is the fourth rank, and the chief envoy jumps from the second rank, from the fourth rank to the second rank. This is not just a triple jump.

Yun Qing said: "Since Madam has this confidence in you, I will naturally give you this opportunity." It was also Tan Tuo who managed Xinping City very well, making Yun Qing believe in his ability, otherwise, even with Yuxi's Recommended, he did not dare to hand over this burden to Tan Tuo.

Tan Tuo leaned down and said, "I will never let down the love of the general and my wife." (To be continued)
