Chapter 233: Tired Army
There was a city built to resist, but the enemy couldn't hold on. Now that the Black Cloud Army has attacked the city wall, they can't hold on anymore.
More and more black cloud troops climbed to the top of the city. Under their axes and maces, blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Since the enemy armies are all gathered together, they cannot share the same hatred.
Some people immediately threw down their weapons and knelt down on the city wall.
In the end, the Lian Jie people gave up their resistance and surrendered.
The city gate was opened, and Mi Jin led people into the city to control the surrendering army.
Zhang Quzhi and other generals were exhausted and were captured. They were escorted to Li Yue and cursed loudly, "When your Majesty regains his strength one day, he will kill all of you."
The bodyguard beside him was about to take action, but Li Yue stopped him.
An hour later, Yangcheng was completely controlled by the Black Cloud Army, and large groups of Jie people and Huns were escorted out of the city, along with nearly 10,000 to 20,000 people including their families.
The soldiers looked over one after another, as if waiting for Li Yue's order.
Liu Guo had a premonition of something bad and whispered: "The governor has always been benevolent and righteous. These people are quite capable. If they can be used by the governor, they will be a great help in the future."
Li Yue said expressionlessly: "Wolves are not familiar with food."
This siege battle has already accumulated hatred between the two sides.
To zoom in further, the Jie people have oppressed the Chinese people for more than thirty years, and every household has blood feuds. Li Yue's slogan is to drive out the Jie slaves and restore our country.
How could things be good today?
"All the Jie people in the city and those who participated in the defense of the city were killed, and the family members were sitting together!" Li Yue said in a low voice.
Rows of Jie people and Huns were brought up and their heads were beheaded by the soldiers.
More and more people in the city were escorted up, some crying, some kneeling down to beg for mercy, some fainting on the ground...
Li Yue turned a blind eye to them all.
Compared with the suffering and torture suffered by the Chinese people, what they are seeing is nothing.
The officers and men of the Black Cloud Army watched with wide eyes.
In the blink of an eye, blood flowed into a river.
Sun Quzhi cursed over and over again, but Li Yue still ignored him.
Among the Huns, there were also many people with deep eyes and high noses who were escorted out by the soldiers regardless of whether they were defending the city or not.
Li Yue glanced at Liu Guo beside him. This guy had an oriental face, otherwise he would have been killed long ago.
The Xiongnu rose up in Mobei and spread across the east and west grasslands, absorbing countless tribes and turning them into hybrids. The Jie people were also a branch of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions.
The piles of corpses outside the city are getting higher and higher.
The heads were collected and prepared to be sent to Yecheng, which was a declaration of Yanzhou's determination.
In the end, only Sun Quzhi was left.
His eyes were dull, his whole body was shaking slightly, and he was repeating something unknown in his mouth.
"President Liu, please!" Li Yue ordered his bodyguard to hand him a knife.
The moment Liu Guo took the long sword, Sun Quzhi suddenly came to his senses and said, "Li Yue, you will not die well!"
Li Yue laughed, "Whether I die or not is a matter for the future, but today you will die by my sword."
Liu Guo stepped forward and swung his sword. The head fell to the ground and blood splattered all over him.
There was not a single living Jie man in Yangcheng, and many Huns with dark eyes and high noses were also killed.
But in this era, no barbarian is innocent.
Li Yue ordered the corpses to be thrown into the wilderness to feed wild animals, and he also took the money and grain from the Yangcheng treasury to reward the meritorious soldiers on the spot.
The soldiers who did not have much merit also received some share.
Liu's country must be quite wealthy, with a lot of gold, silver and silk, a mountain of food and weapons, and a lot of sheep in the city, totaling thirty to forty thousand.
The Confederate soldiers were given a lot of armor, horses, food, etc., and they all smiled happily.
The Black Cloud Army distributed many Xiongnu women, war horses, gold, silver, coins, and silk, etc.
Li Yue was not stingy either, and each of the soldiers participating in the battle received a sheep.
Morale also recovered at this moment, "Long live the Commander-in-Chief! Long live the Black Cloud Army!"
The roar of the crowd echoed throughout the dark night.
"What's going on with Zhang Yu?" Li Yue felt exhausted after finishing everything.
After this battle, it's time to take a break. Recovering rivers and mountains is a long process.
Zhang Shengye said: "Zhang Yu rode out of Mi County with 20,000 troops. When he heard that our army had conquered Yangcheng, he retreated."
"Send someone to shoot a letter into Mi County, saying that a certain person is waiting for him in Yangcheng to come and fight!"
"only!"
"After sending this letter from the Governor, Zhang Yu will definitely retreat." Cui Jin also looked tired.
From the moment he contacted Fangtou to attack Liu Guo, he traveled north and south, passing through the house three times without even entering, not even taking a look at his wife who was about to give birth.
Li Yue smiled and said: "If he doesn't retreat, will he still have the guts to fight us?"
Within two days, Zhang Yu retreated as expected. He had always been cautious in using his troops. Now that the Black Cloud Army was threatening a great victory, he would definitely not dare to fight.
Now that Liu's power has been completely destroyed, Zhang Yu is unable to survive alone in Xuchang, and his destruction will be a matter of time.
A part of the southern army was left to guard Yangcheng, and the army returned to Chenliu.
As soon as he returned to Chenliu, Li Yue ordered them to take turns to take a bath. The soldiers were overjoyed.
Chenliu City quickly became lively. Restaurants, gouran bars, and clothing shops were overcrowded, and many soldiers repaired their homes...
The heads of Jie people and Huns were sent to Yecheng.
Accompanying it is also a memorial note for the seal.
Bo Wu asked for the title of General of Dang Kou, Chen Duan asked for the title of General Polu, Wei Shan asked for the title of General Huwei, Xu Cheng asked for the title of General Yingyang, Cui Jin asked for the title of General of the Town Army, Liang Xiao and Cao Kan each became the Yamen General.
Zhou Qian asked for the title of Sima of Yanzhou, and Chang Wei asked for the title of Lord Register.
There are more than fifty officials, big and small, and even Xin Can's name is on it.
The so-called asking for a seal is just asking Ran Min to put a jade seal on it.
In the next few days, Li Yue stayed with his wife and daughter in the mansion.
Looking at his two sons, I suddenly felt warm.
The relationship with the Xin sisters and Liu also became increasingly close. With Li Yue's efforts, Liu also became pregnant.
Li Yue was a prince with only three women. In the eyes of outsiders, he was extremely self-disciplined, and many soldiers embraced him.
The Xin sisters took the initiative to select dozens of female officials with good figures and looks.
Li Yue didn't refuse. Two sons were too few in this era. Yao Yizhong had forty-two sons, Fu Hong had many descendants, and the Murong family was also prosperous.
One more descendant will have more strength in the future.
It is a taboo in this era to have heirs that are not prosperous.
In troubled times, there were many boys and girls, and war, farming, fishing and hunting all relied on men. Marriage and childbirth were always encouraged in Yanzhou, so Li Yue naturally had to set an example.
Coming to this era, this half month is the happiest.
After finishing my official duties every morning, I would stay with my wife and children in the afternoon, and the fatigue in my heart gradually faded away.
But these days soon came to an end.
The reply from Yecheng came, and all the petitions were agreed, but there was a new edict for the Black Cloud Army to attack Fu Jian who was entrenched in Luoyang!
"Your Majesty said that if the governor does not want to send troops, he can send his eldest son to Yecheng!" Every time it was Dong Run who came.
Li Yue was secretly angry because Ran Min actually had an idea for his infant son.
Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, governors, prefects and generals from all over the country have to leave one son in the capital. The same is true for Jie Zhao. The eldest sons of Yao Yizhong and Fu Hong all stayed in Yecheng as hostages.
But his son is just one month old. As a father, how can he send him into the dragon's pond and the tiger's den?
