The Beizhou garrison actually struggled and hesitated for a few days.
After the time limit set by Lu Huaizhong passed, Lao Lu did not hesitate and ordered a fierce attack.
The master who defended the two states was dead, and more than two hundred people were killed for fleeing. Then the defenders could no longer stand it, and opened the city in chaos to beg for surrender.
Lu Huaizhong didn't have a good look on them and ordered all the officers above the rank to be killed on the spot, which immediately aroused cries of injustice.
"What does General Lu mean? Didn't he allow us to surrender?"
"Lu Huaizhong, you broke your promise and made yourself rich. You will die a good death!"
"Haha, support a hundred thousand people, trick us into surrendering, then regret it and commit mass murder. Is this all you can do?"
"You will end with this. Lu Huaizhong, when Shao Shude kills your entire clan in the future, I hope you will not regret it."
"Wei Bowu people have seen it clearly! The Xia people are going to kill us all, do you still want to surrender?"
Lu Huaizhong sneered and said: "If I want to kill people, they must die clearly. If we surrender on the 25th, you can be safe. However, it has been delayed for another three days, which only hurts people's lives. I have to kill them. I can't wait."
Clothes?"
"I'm not convinced!" "I'm wronged!" "I knew I would have fought with you!"
"Let's do it!" Lu Huaizhong ordered without wavering.
The sergeants all stepped forward, stepped forward, and stabbed with their spears. The Beizhou Military Academy, which was kneeling on the ground, screamed repeatedly, and soon fell silent.
More auxiliary soldiers came forward, cut off everyone's heads, and hung them on the top of the city.
The remaining three thousand Beizhou soldiers were terrified, not knowing what fate awaited them.
"Send them all to Luoyang to build the palace city," Lu Huaizhong ordered.
It's unclear whether he was disappointed or lucky, but the three thousand shell soldiers didn't resist and were gathered together indifferently.
Most of them were Tutuan countrymen, and according to Xia Jun's previous rules, they could be dismissed, but they obviously did not enjoy this treatment.
After nightfall, the snow started to fall again. Surrounded by his own soldiers, Lu Huaizhong entered Beizhou Yacheng.
There is a lot of supplies, grain and grass accumulated in the city. In fact, there are also some in the outer city. After a rough inventory, the total amount of dendrobium in the inner and outer cities is probably more than 100,000.
In addition, more than a thousand war horses, 70,000 coins, more than 200,000 pieces of silk of various colors, 70,000 bundles of arrows, and more than 90,000 war weapons were seized. It is worthy of being the northern treasury in the world. The materials are really abundant, and Wei Bo is indeed rich enough.
.
In fact, if the whole city made a big search, it is estimated that more money could be obtained. But after the war was over, Lu Huaizhong became a little kinder and did not want to commit more crimes.
"Register the money, food and goods and make a register and report to His Highness." Lu Huaizhong dictated the order on the spot and began to record the military registration.
The so-called "reporting" is actually a subtle request for reward. The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the soldiers are still fighting outside, so it is human nature to give more rewards.
"Except for the war horses, all the livestock captured in the sheep and horse wall were slaughtered and the whole army was slaughtered."
"Send troops to escort the envoys to Zhangnan and other counties and order them to surrender. Don't make any mistakes."
"Send troops to patrol the countryside. If anyone dares to cause trouble, he will be killed immediately."
"Instruct each camp not to plunder the people, not to rape women, not to kill people at will, and those who disobey the order will be killed."
"Screen Beizhou generals and officials, and send them after recording."
A series of orders were quickly conveyed.
All the camps of the Wuwei Army marched into the city. The tug generals who had already entered the city gave way to the camp area and stationed in the west of the city. The cavalry brigade was still in the field, so they were recalled together and stationed in the north of the city.
At the same time, Lu Huaizhong sent orders to Wu Zang, Wang Jiao and others, and the armies gathered in turn to guard against thieves taking advantage of the New Year to make a surprise attack - King Xia had done this trick before.

News that Beizhou Yacheng was breached soon spread to Weizhou.
It wasn't that the Wei army had strong reconnaissance capabilities, but that the Xia army themselves promoted it vigorously so that they could recruit and surrender surrounding counties as soon as possible.
The Weibo shogunate was also a dilapidated house with leaks from all directions. The news leaked out on the same day, and the whole town was shocked for a while.
The Chengde army stationed in Chanzhou fled.
The Cangjing soldiers had suffered heavy losses before. Their leader, Zhou Sheng, was beheaded, and more than 2,000 of his remaining troops collapsed into Qingping County. When they got the news, they wanted to leave without saying goodbye. Fortunately, Linqing Town General Shi Renyu was very decisive and immediately sent his troops to Cangjing County.
He comforted him in the barracks, sent him money and silk, and rewarded him with wine and meat, and brought him into his own army.
But no matter what, it is a fact that the situation in Weibo has deteriorated again. Everyone is dejected, and even the upcoming New Year seems boring.
Luo Shaowei also summoned two close advisers, Sikong Ting and Yang Li.
He originally only wanted to talk to Sikong Ting alone, because Sikong Sima was extremely talented, well-spoken, and full of clever ideas. He always hit the mark, and his skills were much better than Yang Li's. However, considering that after returning from his last mission to Weizhou, Yang Li
He secretly reported that Shao Shude and Sikong Ting were having a pleasant conversation, but there might be a problem. Luo Shaowei was finally affected, so he called them both in to discuss countermeasures.
"Shi Renyu held a heavy army, but he patrolled and refused to advance. He was still unable to break through the enemy's defense line and communicate with Beizhou, which led to this defeat. Commander, please remove Shi Renyu from the post of head of the capital, and appoint Cheng Gongzuo as general." Sikong Ting.
I had prepared a rough draft before I came here. Now I was confident and could talk eloquently. Luo Shaowei nodded slightly after hearing this.
Yang Li was a little jealous. He was the Secretary of Jieduzhang and seemed to be closer to Jiedushuan, but Sikong Ting was the Marching Sima and held the real power. At the same time, Luo Shaowei repeatedly asked him for advice, almost marginalizing him, which was really annoying.
.
Seeing Sikong Ting speak at this time, he immediately sang the opposite tune: "Commander, no! General Shi is a senior general in the army, and he has great prestige. He should not be touched lightly. What is Sikong Sima's idea? He wants to harm Wei Bo.
A century-old plan?"
Sikong Ting did not argue, just bowed his hand to Luo Shaowei and stopped talking.
Luo Shaowei smiled bitterly and sighed: "I won't talk about this in advance. But I want to talk about one thing. On the grounds that the Jin army has suffered a new defeat and needs to be reorganized, Li Keyong decided to postpone sending troops and sit back and watch the town fight with the Xia people."
Sikong Ting and Yang Li frowned at the same time.
Luo Shaowei waited silently for a while and couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you two say anything? Are you planning to make a plan?"
Sikong Ting took a deep breath and was about to speak, but Yang Li answered first: "Commander, there is no good strategy for the current plan. There is only one solution, which is to send people to various counties to spread the word that the Xia soldiers are brutal and massacre.
Wei Bo's warriors killed the people in various states. Shu De spent a lot of time in Luoyang to manage the palace and wanted to collect all Wei Bo's wealth to strengthen the treasury. In addition, Shu De hated Wei Bo's warriors very much and ordered a ban on recruiting Wei soldiers. This is the case.
, maybe it can boost morale and inspire soldiers from various states to fight to the death."
When Luo Shaowei heard this, he was both pleased and disappointed.
Yang Li's stance was very stable and he really thought about Wei Bozhen, and he could see it.
This is actually quite normal. His family has been rooted in Weibo for generations, and has been married to local generals and schools, so the roots are deep. With Weibo in the town, their family's interests can be preserved, but without Weibo, it's hard to say, and there is a high probability that the family will decline.
"Commander, now that the matter has come to this, what should be more worrying is that someone is making a fuss about this and inciting the sergeants to cause rebellion." Sikong Ting suddenly reminded.
"Why is this so?" Luo Shaowei asked in shock: "It's already this time, and there are still people who are so unwise?"
After saying that, he was thoughtful again.
In fact, he no longer wants to be this bullshit commander. He is a scapegoat.
If Weibo Town was destroyed, he would not be able to escape; if Weibo Town was not destroyed, then some general must have performed extraordinary feats and defeated the Xia army, and he would not be able to escape either.
If he was still nostalgic for the position of Jiedushi before, then as the situation on the battlefield gradually deteriorated, he increasingly felt that this position was a trap and wanted to get rid of it.
"You must be on guard, Commander." Sikong Ting said sincerely: "For the sake of my servant, Sikong Jianba has received a great favor, and there is nothing I can do to repay it. At this time of crisis, I am willing to go to the owl's nest to help Commander-in-Chief."
This is a crisis."
"If there is a crisis, how to solve it?" Luo Shaowei asked.
"Persuade Shude to retreat," Sikong Ting said.
Yang Li wanted to laugh a little, and was about to say something sarcastic, but he saw Luo Shaowei overjoyed and said: "Then let's set off quickly, sooner rather than later."
"As ordered." Sikong Ting responded.
Yang Li was stunned, and then his heart became cold, even a little sad and angry.

When Lu Huaizhong captured Beizhou Yacheng, Shao Shude had already reached Nancheng, Heyang with Yin'an, and Mang Mountain was already in sight.
Before I left, I didn't receive any news about the capture of Beizhou, so I was a little disappointed.
Fortunately, Lao Lu finally lived up to his expectations and won the title, which made him very happy. The saint gave such a high official position, but if he didn't achieve some results, his face would be dull.
But then again. In the past year, they defeated Yang Xingmi and captured most of the two prefectures of Xu and Si; they defeated Li Keyong again and captured the three prefectures of Xingming and Ci; now they won another hard-fought victory and captured Beizhou.
He conquered six states in one year and fought against stubborn enemies, but the results were not small. He could fully afford the official title bestowed by the saint.
"Lao Lu fought vigorously and resolutely, which won my heart very much." General Shao Shude handed the report to Xie Tong and said.
As a surrender, Xie Tong did not dare to offend important generals like Lu Huaizhong anymore. Hearing this, he congratulated: "General Lu Du is decisive, resolute, brave and diligent in his military use. I congratulate you on your highness."
"Good news comes from everywhere. This world cannot be out of my control." Shao Shude laughed and said: "Beizhou is the one that cuts off the traffic between the north and the south. Chengde Town is blocked from the outside. From behind, we can slowly concoct Wei and Bo.
, Chan Sanzhou."
In this battle, if Bozhou and Chanzhou were captured first, the shock to Weibo would definitely not be as great as the fall of Beizhou.
It’s not just that Beizhou has a larger population and is richer, it’s also a psychological blow.
Before the fall of Beizhou, Weibo's warriors could still communicate well. They thought that reinforcements would arrive soon, so they could escape to Jizhou. But now, Weibo town has been almost surrounded by others and is in an isolated and helpless situation. What?
Not hesitant? How not to be afraid?
Of course they can also count on Cangjing.
In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Yanwei led more than 30,000 people on foot and cavalry southward. Taking advantage of the empty town of Ziqing, he raided Dizhou. He also sent light cavalry southward across the ice of the Yellow River to Qi, burning, killing and looting the area around Zizhou.
This guy didn't dare to fight Xia Jun head-on, but he was quite brave enough to be sneaky and sneaky.
Wang Jiao, Ye Li Kecheng and others have quickly retreated and returned to their respective states to defend. The situation in Bozhou has changed.
"Let's go back to Luoyang first. The big things are there." Shao Shude flicked his whip and left first.
With punches and kicks from the north and the south, the prestige has been increased enough, and the saint is probably going to try to show off. Before attending the Zhengdan court meeting, Shao Shude still has many things to discuss with others, and time is tight.
