Chapter 262 Attack on Dengzhou
Liu Bu also has a thought now, that is, when people are at a certain stage, they must move forward bravely, and when they do not move forward, they will suffer from chaos.
Just like Zhao Kuangyin in Chenqiaoyi back then, his subordinates had put their yellow robe on their bodies several times. If he was thinking about the feelings of his righteous brother Chai Shao and did not dare to move forward bravely, he probably wouldn't follow him or support him again, but instead turned to the wise ruler, and would not have achieved the foundation of the Song Dynasty for 300 years.
The same is true today. Although he is the head of the Liu family army and the leader of the Liu family army, the group also pushed him forward and forced him to follow the established path. If he dared to act on his own, did not pay attention to the interests of the public, and just wanted to do it according to his own wishes, he would probably be abandoned by this group.
So I understand the same thing, when you reach this point, if you don’t move forward, your interest groups will push you forward, letting you do it according to everyone’s wishes. You can’t help but have the kindness of a woman or your indecisiveness.
If you have so much thought, you will be another master Li, and sometimes you will write sad words.
Liu Bu calmed down and led his troops to fight again. As expected, no one dared to intercept them wherever their army went. Even some people and mobs, seeing such large armies coming, they scattered one after another, and they couldn't escape, so how could they dare to intercept them?
This is Dengzhou Prefecture. Penglai County is the most serious civil rebellion. Even the county town of Penglai County, Dengzhou Prefecture, was broken. Other county towns, because the gates of the city were closed and the defense was strictly guarded, were not broken by the mobs. So what their army wanted to go to was besieging Penglai County.
They advanced along the official road and quickly reached outside the gate of Penglai County. At this time, the Ming Dynasty dragon flag was already hanging, but a messy flag with the name written on it.
More importantly, there were two corpses hanging at the city gate, one was the corpse of the governor Chen Yingyuan, and the other was the magistrate Deng Bingwen. The leading figures in Dengzhou Prefecture City were all executed by the mob.
The army quickly dispatched, which still alarmed the mobs. They hurriedly closed the city gates, walked around the city walls, ran and called, and they were very afraid and afraid of the army that had sent out so quickly, and seemed to be so strict and well-equipped.
These mobs were fine to fight with the wind. Everyone rushed forward and many people beat the master to death. However, facing Liu Bu's powerful military force, they shrank and did not dare to go out of the city to fight. When the official army approached the city wall, they dripped hot water from it and threw stones down.
When Liu Bu saw these people shook his head secretly, there were not even bows and arrows. There were Franchise cannons on the city tower, and they couldn't use them. It was certain that the other party wanted to use cannons to bombard them. But seeing their busyness, no one could use them, and no qualified commander was leading them.
Liu Bu took out his monocular lens and carefully observed the situation on the city tower. The monocular lens was given by Zheng Zining. Everyone in the captain of Zheng Zining's fleet was handed in. It is said that it is very precious and can only be equipped to the captain's level, mainly because the lenses are too expensive.
Liu Bu knew that it was not that the telescope was too expensive, but that the glass manufacturing and polishing technology of this era were too poor, and it was impossible to polish high-transparent glass. If this kind of thing was something that was rotten all over the streets in later generations, even children would play with it as a toy.
Liu Bu sent his command cavalry to shout and said loudly: "The official army comes to encircle and suppress the mob rebels. Those who surrender will not be killed. If there are any stubborn resistance, they will be killed on the spot."
This is called politeness before the army. He is not interested in massacring these unarmed people. However, as a soldier, a soldier is obeying orders as his duty. If someone dares to stop him from completing his task, he will kick the other party away without hesitation.
No famous general in ancient times was cruel and ruthless, and killed people like a numb one. One general succeeded and ten thousand bones were bleak. That famous general did not use countless heads to establish his immortal reputation.
Among so many famous generals since ancient times, none of them can enjoy great reputation without killing people.
As for the envoys sent by the government army to the city wall, the people on the city wall looked down on them, and they said loudly: "This is Dengzhou Prefecture, the city is high and the city is deep. If you have the ability, come and capture it for me to see."
Liu Bu sneered and said, "You won't cry until you see the coffin."
This time, Liu's troops sent 500 archers to the city wall, stood 80 meters away, and shot the city wall.
Still panicked above the city wall, the mobs walking around faced the sudden and fierce shooting of the government troops. Countless people fell to the ground, some smart ones took out their shields and wooden boards to block the rain of arrows that were sprinkled like raindrops.
When Liu Bu saw their archers making great efforts, he immediately ordered the sword and shield to set off. The sword and shield protected their soldiers and rushed towards the city wall with a ladder.
If the opponent is a regular army or a first-level modeling army, they would never dare to do this. They would attack the opponent's city directly if they just attacked easily. This would only make him only 4,000 people, not enough to fill this pit.
But the other party was just a group of hungry farmers, without even formal use of weapons, and would not command the army to fight. They were just a group of violent elements, and they rebelled angrily if they couldn't survive.
Liu Bu even now suspects that this rebellion was deliberately instigated by his father and organized it secretly, mainly to make trouble for his competitors, cause trouble for them, and make them cause trouble.
Moreover, with his father's ruthless means, if Chen Yingyuan does not go and Chen Yingyuan will not be able to take up the position of governor. There is another special reason, that is, there must be special performance so that he can become governor. Otherwise, with his background, he will not be governor at all. Unless he shows extraordinary things at special times and let the emperor look at him differently, he will appoint him as governor.
Even if he achieved success, the emperor might not agree. However, if there were people in the court talking and some people saying good things about him, it would be completely different, which would make him qualified to compete.
And at this time, Liu Bu also received news that the court had appointed the new governor of Denglai, their old rival Lin Ruonan. He was about to come here to command the suppression of bandits, but who knew that he was attacked by bandits on the way to Jinan Prefecture, and the entire army was wiped out, and no one survived.
Liu Bu didn't have to doubt it at all. This must be his father's behavior. Because with his father's character, he is here to dominate the world, be arbitrary and act on his own. He will not eliminate Chen Yingyuan and let another person take charge of him. This is equivalent to marrying others. With his ruthless means, he will not be able to do such a thing.
Liu Bu understood that the whole thing was a bureau set up by his father, so that he could become the governor of Denglai and take control of the military and political power of the three eastern prefectures.
His father is a very cruel and ruthless person. In order to take the position of governor, this governor's throne has put countless lives on his behalf. I believe that this Dengzhou riot will take the opportunity to eradicate many competitors and make him more relaxed and casual when he enters Dengzhou.
In the past, Liu Bu always thought that his father deserved his name, and he was frivolous and had the name of the Eight-faced Buddha. He lived in the courtyard and was uneasy, and his concubine even stole people. Sometimes he was wondering if his Eight-faced Buddha's name was bought with money?
Now he realized that his father was very powerful. He always had the nature of the heroes he saw in the novel. When he came to this world, he was the protagonist. Since he was the protagonist, there would be a big villain. Who would the villain be? Are there people like Emperor Chongzhen, the bandit leader Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, or the leader of Jiannu Huang Taiji Dorgon, and these people will be his ultimate opponents. These people are the big villains in his life, but now I think these big villains are not as good as his father.
His father is the real villain in this good show where he is. This method is probably Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji.
After Liu Bu knew about these things, he didn't know whether it was worry or anger, but he knew that it was their family's honor to have this. Without such a capable person, his family would probably have been swallowed up long ago.
Sure enough, after their round of attacks, the people on the city wall cried and cried. Although some officers dressed as whips walked out with whips and were not allowed to escape and allowed them to continue to resist the enemy, these people still fled back one after another, fled down the city wall, and at the end the so-called officers and leaders holding whips all fled down the city wall.
The army approached the city wall without any obstacles, and then built a ladder upwards and rushed into the city wall.
There were still some people who insisted on resisting here, but these people were not the opponents of the elite servants of the Liu family. A large area was cut down after a few efforts. As more and more Liu family troops rushed up, they could no longer resist and fled one after another. In less than half an hour, they captured the city wall, controlled a large section of the city wall, and then ordered more troops to pour in from then on.
