Huwa must have used a secret treasure. He himself should not have such great magical powers, but when did he actually possess such a secret treasure, the young minister was also secretly shocked. Finally, the young minister was able to calm down and did not show off in front of others.
asked, waiting until now to speak.
Huwa replied: "Brother, do you still remember that I stayed in the Western Wilderness for several months last year and sent Jiuling to report the news? Mr. Qing, the master of Jiuling, is an expert in this world with superb cultivation and profound magic power. He once gave me a gift
I have already used one of the three talisman leaves, and today I have used the remaining two, which can be regarded as making the best use of it."
…
The young minister captured Xiangdu City, ordered people to appease the people, compensate the dead, and gather and reorganize the prisoners of war. Those tribesmen from nearby villages who had fled into the capital, seeing that there was no war disaster and that they could still avoid one year of tax, had already returned home.
The food and goods they originally carried were all carried back home on their shoulders. The market in the capital reopened soon and resumed its bustling scene.
The Shaowu appointed a chief minister to take charge of these affairs, namely Xiling, the Caifeng master of the original Prime Minister's Kingdom. The Shaowu appointed new ministers to serve the people in each city. For example, Hongyuan served as Feihong.
The mayor is the person in charge of the people of the city, and Xiling is the general person in charge of each city. Regarding this appointment, the young minister also gave some explanations.
Xiling was also one of the main generals who defended the city of Xiangdu. When the city was destroyed, he was about to die for the city, but the army of young ministers arrived in time and took away his weapons. Later, the young minister persuaded him to stay useful and use his talents to appease the country.
Zhong Wanmin, and Lord Peng Keng also spoke from the side, persuading Bajun Shaowu to carry out benevolent government and not to involve all the people in the clan war. Only then did Xiling accept the appointment.
In fact, in Shaowu's mind, Xiling is not only the chief minister of the people after occupying the Xiangshi Kingdom. If he continues to attack the Zhengshi Kingdom and captures its city walls in the future, Xiling will also be the chief minister of the people in the newly occupied area. But this plan
He hasn't said yet. Regardless of whether he fully trusts Xiling or not, such an important strategic plan cannot be leaked in advance.
Of course, Shao Wu valued Xiling's talent very much, and Shao Wu was very accurate about this kind of person's mentality at the moment. Xiling was different from Zi Qian. Since he wanted to use this person, he had to make him feel good first.
Why is Xiling so knowledgeable? In addition to his outstanding talent, his diligence in learning is beyond imagination. He is not from a noble family, but he does not miss every opportunity to learn. Everywhere he goes, he keeps almost all valuable information in his heart and pays homage to him.
Elders from all over the world ask for advice on the knowledge they have passed down.
Even if ordinary people are more studious, they will not be as diligent as Xiling. He must have great ambitions and hope to have the opportunity to show his talents and ambitions. He was indeed hired, but Xiangqiong did not pay enough attention and respect to him. Now Chiwang
Liang Yichen, the descendant of Qiu, wanted to vent his personal anger and asked Yuxuan to set up a trap to harm him. In the future, regardless of whether the Xiangshi Kingdom could be saved, Xiling would probably never be appointed by the Xiangshi Kingdom again.
So in Bayuan, who will use him again, and where will he have the opportunity to display his talents and ambitions? For Xiling, this is the biggest blow he has suffered in his life. Now Shaowu has given Xiling enough face
, entrusted with important tasks, I also know what this kind of person will do. I am not worried at all that Xiling will not try his best.
Xiling once asked the young minister privately: "Now that I have offended Liang Yichen, the person in charge of Chi Wangqiu in the Xiangshi Kingdom, if the Lord appoints me, will Chi Wangqiu be dissatisfied?"
The Shaowu shook his head and said: "I use you to care for the people. If you do a good job, if Chiwangqiu is dissatisfied with you, it will be contrary to the hearts of the people; if you don't do a good job, the rumors around the city will spread.
If you urge me, there is no need for Chiwangqiu to deal with you. If Chiwangqiu even cares about this kind of thing, it is not a big sect's magnanimity, then I don't have to worry about them interfering in state affairs."
After Shaowu captured Xiangdu City, the next step was of course to capture Longma City and completely cut off the return route of Xiangqiong's army. Xiling once offered a plan to Shaowu. He asked Huwa to send a token to Longma City.
The guard general Gong Shanxu, the young minister listened to his advice.
This time Shaowu and Huwa did not follow the prince of the army, but sent Panhu to lead the army to attack Longma City. When the army approached the city, Panhu sent an envoy to call the door, saying that Mr. Xiao was sent by him and wanted to request something.
A view of General Gongshan.
Gongshanxu saw that the Bashi Kingdom's military formation had no intention of attacking the city for the time being, so he ordered the door to be opened to let the envoy enter the city. The envoy sent a wooden box, and when he opened it, there was a silver beast about a foot long.
horn.
Gongshanxu recognized the origin of this object at a glance. He was born in Gongshan Village in Longma City. He remembered that the little gentleman passed by Gongshan Village and saved a villager who was frightened by a horse in the mountains and was injured. Later, the little gentleman
When he saw the horse chasing the villagers outside the village, he broke its silver horn and killed the strange beast on the spot, and then attracted the lady Gong Yuan.
Huwa taught Gong Yuan and his guards a lesson. Mr. Cangsha showed up immediately, drank and talked with the little gentleman, and traveled with him for several months. After the marriage, he punished Gong Yuan. No matter how he said it, it was all
It was the palace concubine who allowed strange beasts to hurt people and led her chariots and guards to trample young crops. She had blatantly violated the etiquette and laws of the country and made the matter worse.
Gong Shanxu was present at that time, and deep down in his heart, he was very grateful to the little gentleman, because the little gentleman took action to save his people.
Gongshan Xu was originally a border guard general stationed in Longma City. He was usually responsible for training the elite military formations at the border. For this expedition, Xiangqiong transferred the field army formations under Gongshan Xu, but did not take Gongshan Xu himself with him. Obviously, he was not
No matter how much he is reused, he no longer trusts him. Although Longma City is very important, it is located in the rear area of the Xiangshi Kingdom. It is just a place for hoarding and transit of various military supplies. The credit for the logistics belongs to the city lord. Even if the front army wins,
General Gong Shanxu also had no military exploits to speak of.
However, the development of the war situation was unexpected. The young minister did not directly block the entry of Xiangqiong's army at the border. Instead, he made a wide circle in the hinterland of Xiangshi Kingdom and actually came from the direction of the capital to Longma City. There was no shortage of ordnance in Longma City.
, but at this moment there were no soldiers guarding the city. Most of the garrison formations left by Xiangqiong had been transferred by Yu Xuan to participate in the decisive battle outside the capital city not long ago.
How could Gongshanxu not know the importance of Longma City? Once Shaowu captured this place, he would not only be able to obtain a large amount of ordnance in the arsenal, but also completely cut off the hope of Xiangqiong's army returning to the country. However, Gongshanxu led a few armies.
The army is defending the city, and the enemy's army will not be able to return in a short period of time. This is a certain death situation.
Gong Shanxu took this silver horn and recalled the past, and couldn't help sighing. The lord of Longma City, all the adults in the city, and the captains of each military formation saw that the young army had not yet attacked the city, but someone sent General Gongshan a message first.
Many people came to ask what was going on. General Gongshan did not hide anything. He took out the silver horn and told the story of the past.
The name of the young gentleman is almost unknown in Longma City. Seeing this silver horn is the physical evidence of the deeds of that year. Listening to Gong Shanxu, an eyewitness, what he saw with his own eyes, thinking of the current situation of Longma City, the hall
Suddenly he sighed. The Lord of the City stood up and said: "General Gongshan, if not, you can tie me up and offer it to the city."
Gongshanxu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Why is it so? I took this silver horn out of the city and surrendered. The defenders in the city wanted to fight, but they shot me on the city. If they didn't want to fight, they took off their armor and left.
.I have heard the decree issued by the Major-General. If the garrison does not fight, it can be dismissed and returned home; those who fight against the soldiers who die in battle can receive pensions; those who are captured before the battle can serve in the army for another three years."
After saying these words, Gong Shanxu went out of the city alone with the silver horn in his hands. The defenders stood on the city wall and looked at him, but no one shot him with arrows.
Before Gongshanxu came to the army, he announced his identity and explained his purpose. Panhu came forward and asked about the situation. Gongshanxu returned the silver horn to Panhu and asked him to send someone to send it back to the little gentleman. Then Panhu
Hu ordered an attack on the city. The army did not rush in, but walked in. The city gate in front was not closed yet. The soldiers who defended the city put down their weapons and armor and did not fight at all.
There were no casualties in the capture of Longma City, and no prisoners of war were captured. Only Gongshanxu took the initiative to surrender, but the others in the city did not resist. Gongshanxu and the generals in the city made such a choice, of course it was forced by the situation, but the news spread
Going out inevitably became another way of saying - Mr. Peng Keng sent the silver horn of the horse that he broke here with his own hands into the city, and Longma City surrendered without a fight.
After the Shaowu Army occupied Longma City, they obtained a large amount of ordnance supplies, the granary of Taihe City, the arsenal of Longma City, and a large number of other goods in Xiangdu City that were too late to be transported away. The army's logistical supplies did not need to be replenished.
It was shipped from Basilica.
The army has advanced to the original border between Bashi Kingdom and Xiangshi Kingdom, and further ahead is Wangqiu City, which has been captured by Xiangqiong. The Shaowu Army circled around and fought back to Bashi Kingdom.
Longma City fell into the hands of Shaowu, and there were cranes in the Xiangshi Kingdom. The two city walls of Shanyang surrendered without a fight. These two city walls could not survive without surrender, because they were located to the west of Minshui, Jiuzhang
To the south of the city, to the east of Longma City, and to the north, it borders the Bashi Kingdom, completely becoming two isolated cities.
After Jianhe City and Shanyang City also surrendered, the eastern boundary of the Xiangshi Kingdom captured by the Shaowu Army was completely connected to the Bashi Kingdom and became a stable rear area.
In addition to the capital, excluding places like Shanshui City that have not yet achieved real rule, Xiangshi Kingdom originally had eighteen city walls. Now there are Baiju City, Guxiong City, Feihong City, Gaocheng, and Jiuzhang City.
Jianhe City, Shanyang City, Taihe City, and Longma City were occupied by Shaowu.
Just at this time, Meng Yingqiu sent news - Xiangqiong was dead, and the Xiangshi Kingdom's army had withdrawn from the pass between Pengshan and Zhangren Mountain. The next day, news from Batu City also arrived. Shrike told the young minister
, General Beidao succeeded in a surprise attack and burned a large amount of Xiangqiong's military supplies. Xiangqiong's army was frustrated in attacking Batu City and has now retreated from Batu City.
After Shaowu captured Longma City, he had already reached the eastern foot of the Meng Yingqiu Mountains, so the news of Meng Yingqiu's arrival was faster than that of Batu City. Shrike didn't know that Xiangqiong was dead, but Mingsha Sect Master already knew about it. It seemed that Meng Yingqiu had arrived.
Yingqiu had another way to find out the news. The young minister laughed heartily, held a banquet in the palace to reward the generals, and announced the "good news" in public. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
