Chapter 28 Famous Generals Demeanor
Hedong, under Jinyang City, in Li Xin's big tent.
The ignited torches shone on every face in the tent, and the young generals looked at the kneeling officials in the tent.
"Just just to eat in one bite, you are accomplices for tigers, throwing away the words "arrogance and loyalty and filial piety" Li Xin said in a deep voice: "You are all parents and officials near Jinyang. Today, you are willing to be the sect leader and come to me to persuade them to surrender. I believe there are family members in the city and you are detained as hostages."
The few people who were kneeling looked at each other and dared not answer. There were more or less scars on their faces. They looked like they were not doing well at first sight, and they must have been beaten and bullied by the sect bandits.
One of the older officials sighed and said, "We... have indescribable difficulties. We were civil officials, but the military generals were incompetent to lose Jinyang. The thieves burned, killed, looted, and we were powerless. What could the army do to crush the city?"
Li Xin stepped forward and helped him up. He didn't know what he was thinking in his eyes. He said in a voice: "I know you have all the difficulties. Let's do this. After you go back, you will say that I will surrender in three days. But there is a condition that the White Lotus Sect Master himself must come to the foot of Liaowa Mountain outside the city to receive surrender."
"Why do you want to use a fraudulent surrender plan?"
Li Xin looked unwilling and said, "You don't need to know this. Go back and do what I said. After the matter is done, I guarantee you nothing will be done and I am willing to report to the court for you and give me a cup of credit."
Several officials thanked him for his gratitude and rushed to Jinyang City in shame.
When they arrived at the city, the bandits above threw down a rope and tied a basket under them.
Officials who once could not walk for a few miles without going out, rushed to squat in the basket and were dragged up.
One of the ropes was not firm, and the officials inside were too fat. They fell down halfway through the bang. After a scream, their fat body moved around on the ground, and they seemed to be unable to survive.
The bandits on the city wall just laughed and pointed. A few months ago, each of these officials was a figure who was tall and fairy-like in the eyes of the little people.
At the moment, they were allowed to pinch the round and flatten them, and even held the power of life and death, which made them feel a sense of pleasure.
Looking from the top of the city, there were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, which cast a shadow on the hearts of these soldiers.
Ten days ago, the group of officers and soldiers outside arrived, and the White Lotus Cultists in the city almost came out in full swing. I thought this little man was not enough to get between my teeth.
Who knew that in the empty suburbs outside Jinyang City, after a big battle, the officers and soldiers were like chopping melons and vegetables, harvesting the lives of the bandits.
Several of the tiger generals led their men to the battlefield, as if they were entering a no-man. The Liangzhou soldiers only used 3,000 troops to fight the bandits all over the mountains and fields, and few people dared to resist.
Since then, the already extremely inflated bandits of Baicai Sect could only obediently shrink into the city.
I hope that Jinyang's high walls can block the group of killing gods outside.
In later generations, during the Five Dynasties, most regimes started in Jinyang.
The two brothers Zhao Kuangyin led their troops several times, but they had no choice but to take the city and had to return in disgrace.
So much so that after finally taking Jinyang, Zhao Er was so angry that he ordered the complete destruction of the heroic city. He set fire to the city first, which was said to have burned for three years, and then digging rivers to irrigate the city. Jinyang was completely destroyed. At that time, many elderly, weak, sick and disabled people who had no time to retreat in Jinyang City were killed.
This method also shows how much anger Jinyang brings to the attackers, and it also shows how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack here.
After sending off these officials who came to persuade the surrender, Li Xin's generals surrounded him.
"Major General, these people are timid and afraid, how can they put their hope of siege on these soft boys?"
Li Xin smiled without saying a word. He turned around gently, pointed to the sand table and said, "Continue to dig. I deliberately did not send troops to harass me on this side, and I would definitely not be prepared for the city. Entering from here is the defense weakness in the city."
"Major General, what are you talking about for fraudulent surrender?"
Li Xin waved her hand and said, "It's just to let them relax their vigilance. I care whether they can come out. Maybe now, the bandits in the city have begun to formulate the next combat deployment according to my nonsense. The more they draw the wrongful energy, the more beneficial it will be for us to attack. After fighting this month, I also discovered that these bandits and gangs are good at coercing the people, but they can't fight."
When all the generals heard this, they felt relieved. In fact, they didn't have to worry at all. Although the major general in front of them was not old, they were actually a veteran of war and had never been defeated.
He can think of what he can think of, and he can definitely think of what he can't think of.
Li Xin's name is a Dinghai Sword Needle in the Xiliang Army.
......
The twelfth year of Gengyuan is approaching the end of the year.
The situation in Hedong that had been in chaos for half a year finally ushered in a new turning point.
The Xiliang soldiers attacked Jinyang City in a surprise attack. In the chaos, the White Lotus Sect bandits pulled up their troops and hoped to fight them to a decisive battle.
Li Xin defeated the bandits in front of him three times, and damaged the bandits in Jinyang who had finally gathered together.
Moreover, once the captured bandits are captured, Li Xin can use them easily.
The vulnerable sect bandits were also very vicious when they were used in suitable places, and they chased the brothers of the past sects. Mr. Li was really beautiful in his hand, and he had the style of a famous general who was more and more powerful in Han Xin's order.
There have been rumors in the Xiliang army that few of the generals who were born under Taizu, who were shining with the stars of the generals, could be compared with Li Xin.
After several battles, the Xiliang soldiers captured 70,000 sect bandits and killed 50,000. Hundreds of White Lotus Sect backbones were escorted to Beijing. It is estimated that Ling Chi was greeted.
Jinyang City was lost and regained, and the people in the court breathed a sigh of relief, especially Chen Shou.
The broken White Lotus Cultists protected their leader and continued to flee eastward and fled to the Fenshui area.
The sect bandits who were disbanded fled to various territories again. The local tyrants consciously recruited troops and guarded their local areas without the court's orders.

Jinyang, in a broken Holy Skills Temple.
Li Xin was playing with a mask in her hand. The mask looked a little weird. If she looked at it at night, she would probably faint.
"If the owner of this mask is not dead, the bandits in Hedong will sooner or later resurrect." Li Xin said in a serious tone.
"Mask..." Suddenly, a lie-in-law shouted: "Didn't it mean that the person who killed the eldest son was wearing a mask?"
Li Xin's knuckles tightened, and he grabbed a hole in the wooden mask in his hand, and Li Xin did not seem to feel pain.
Such strength is not something that ordinary people can have. Li Xin was able to draw a strong bow at the age of thirteen. Later, after he grew up, the most powerful warrior in the Dangxiang clan, known for his bravery and good combat, was just comparable to him.
"Send this mask to Liangzhou and hand it over to my father."
