Chapter 374
The two sides started a fierce battle, but soon Cao's army had been fighting for several days, and was already exhausted, under the pressure of both mental and physicality, and collapsed quickly. In just a quarter of an hour, they attacked the city tower along the horse road.
When the flag of the big flag was changed, the morale of the Xuzhou army was greatly shocked.
Xiahou Yuan fought to the death and was taken away by his personal soldiers.
More soldiers were shot to death by arrows, and some surrendered with weapons.
The strong men ran around like headless flies, and became more and more chaotic. Needless to say, they were fighting, and they trampled on each other, causing many casualties.
Gao Shun and Lu Su led a large army into the city, gathering people and brave people around the city walls, and even comforting them, asking them not to run around and trample to death.
Besides, when Xiahou Yuan saw that something was wrong, Yu Jin fled quickly. Because he couldn't run away, the big families in the city raised an army and actually helped the Xuzhou army.
The two of them led the remaining soldiers to escape from the south gate, and Xiahou Yuan led the cavalry and ran fast.
Yu Jin was in trouble. His subordinates had only dozens of cavalry, and the others were infantry. They lost the infantry without running far away.
Dozens of cavalry went south and didn't go far, suddenly a group of people in front blocked the way.
The future is not someone else, but Zhao Zilong of Changshan.
Zhao Yun made a lot of military achievements this time, so he suggested not to attack the city. He had to leave some military achievements for others. Yan Liang's thousands of cavalry were still waiting, and who would not expect to gain some benefits in the war?
Zhao Yun did not enter the city and brought his troops to the south gate to catch fish.
Just one net blocked Yu Jin. Yu Jin was good at training troops and was good at fortifications, but he was not good at martial arts.
After three in one, Zhao Yun shot the horse with one shot.
This is Zhao Yun's mercy, otherwise he would be heartbroken with just one shot.
Yu Jin was captured and his subordinates were captured.
Zhao Yun was very embarrassed and wanted to make the credit, but he didn't expect to make a lot of credit.
It's completely over from morning until noon.
In the afternoon, the soldiers put out the fire of war, and the military law team took to the streets to severely punish those who took advantage of the fire and soldiers who caused trouble.
Gao Shunrenyi and the Minzhuang recruited by Cao's army were arranged to go home, while the surrendered soldiers were arranged to be in the military camp and confiscated the weapons. Even the money for the three melons and two dates on them did not move.
Lu Su came over and gave a speech: "As long as you don't become enemies with the Xuzhou army, your life and property can be guaranteed."
The soldiers took it too seriously. These days, when fighting wars, surrendering, it was nothing more than a change of bosses, whoever gave the money to help the war would be.
"You can choose two ways out. The first is to serve in the army, with a monthly subsidy of 100 million yuan. If you participate in three years and participate in three battles, you can pay a house, ten taels of brides and arrange to marry a wife. The second is to serve the garrison, and you can also give 100 kilograms of grain every month. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can support the family."
Everyone was speechless and thinking.
Lu Su continued: "It is easy to get money when you are in a military war, but it is easier to get money. If you are lucky, you will make a great contribution and get promoted and make money. You don't have to be a resident of the garrison, but you have to work hard. If you choose someone, you have to leave it to fate."
"I'll be elected to join the army."
"I choose Tun Ding."
Almost more than 6,000 soldiers were captured and divided for a while. More than 3,000 people continued to serve in the army and more than 3,000 people were going to farm.
The placement will be placed separately, whether it is a soldier or a garrison, and the people who are in the army must be guarded for the time being, waiting for Puyang Cheng to settle down before making a decision.
At night, the army entered the city, leaving only three thousand cavalrymen in Zhao Yun to guard the camp.
The news of taking Puyang and capturing Yu Jin was also sent to Chenliu Lubu for expedited military information.
Gao Shun is a relatively boring soldier and is not good at dealing with these big players who are changing their minds.
This matter was left to Lu Su to handle.
It is okay to knock on these big players appropriately, but it is necessary to ensure the stability of the city.
The Xuzhou Army issued a notice to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people.
The army entered the city without robbing the big households and killing the gentry by chance. The big households were relieved.
However, Xuzhou still has restrictions on large households. First of all, it restricts population trading. In the past, there was no investigation into the transaction, but it could not be bought in the future.
All the wandering children are raised by the government, called the Sales Hospital. The homeless elderly can go to the Encare Home. The poor people and those who are helpless will distribute some food and clothing.
What makes the big dealers feel the most awkward is that they are not allowed to use lynching indiscriminately. In the past, the servants made mistakes and could be beaten to death, but now they are not. For example, if the servants steal things, they must report to the official and the government will deal with it.
Overall, there are good and bad.
Most of the big players are willing to support Xuzhou, but some do not support it, but they dare not object.
Land is the basis for the survival of large households, and they are not so easy to move away.
Let’s talk about Chenliu and Lu Bu’s camp.
Chen Gong smiled and came over with Gao Shun's battle report.
"It's amazing. This time the general's artillery made another military contribution, smashing the city gate, rushing in to the camp, and taking down Puyang City."
Lu Bu was overjoyed: "No, not bad. The general's cannon finally didn't disappoint."
Lu Bu made a fuss about his military achievements and found that Zhao Yun was very eye-catching and had made several great contributions. He was really lucky and good at it.
"What should I do next when I see the office?"
"Gaoshun's army cannot move for the time being. Puyang is where Cao Cao started his business, and it is very likely to counterattack. Zhao Yun's five thousand cavalry rushed to Youzhou, and returned to Hao Meng's dispatch, and gathered with Gao Lan to deal with Tadun."
Lu Bu pondered for a moment: "It's not appropriate. Zhao Yun, Gao Lan, and Hao Meng, although they are all first-class generals, Hao Meng lacks practical experience and is unlikely to convince the public. Once there is a problem with the dispatch, it is difficult to defeat Tadun with his superior force. After all, this is a group of nomads on the grassland, growing up on horseback and riding superbly."
Chen Gong shook his head: "If you want to say that the person who is most convinced by these barbarians is your lord, your reputation is in the sensational grassland."
Lu Bu smiled and said, "I learned badly from the office and I have a smooth voice."
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Okay, let's continue to arrange for Chenliu to recruit 5,000 soldiers and Puyang to recruit 5,000 soldiers, and be transferred to Teng State for training together. Then, five,000 veterans from Teng State will be transferred to supplement the two places. When the settlement is completed, I will lead the troops north."
In the next few days, Lu Bu made many more arrangements to send the captive Yu Jin back to Xuzhou, Song Xian returned to Xiaopei, and Yan Liang returned to the Baima. Chen Gong guarded Chenliu with 8,000 infantrymen, and Liao Hua's Zhentian Camp settled in Chenliu.
Because Chen Liu's status is more important than Puyang, he is Cao Cao's top priority.
However, Cao Cao was not able to counterattack for a long time, because he was in trouble again.
I had a headache for several days and couldn't get out of bed.
The doctor was helpless.
Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and others stood outside anxiously.
Cao Hong's burial had just been completed, and bad news came from Puyang. Xiahou Yuan was defeated and returned, and was hit by six arrows, and his life and death were uncertain.
Yu Jin was captured, and the situation was unknown.
