When the suspension bridge was just lowered, Xia soldiers from the east of the city were approaching.
It's not that they got any information in advance. They were planning to come over for a sneak attack, but when they saw the suspension bridge lowered, they were a little confused. Then the city gate opened. Gao Youqing, who was leading the team, understood that his group might have been discovered.
, the Jin thief went out and killed him in a counterattack.
This is really fucked! Why are you so unlucky?
"Kill the thief!" Gao Youqing shouted.
"Kill the thief!" The sergeants had no way to retreat. They had to kill the enemy before they could retreat. So everyone worked bravely, fought to be the first, and formed a formation to rush over.
Dozens of soldiers from Youzhou Prefecture had just left the city when they saw a large group of soldiers coming from the snow. The people at the front showed off the standard movement of shooting at grasshoppers while marching. They fired arrows quickly and with great force. Under the dim light,
He also shoots very accurately. I don’t know how much effort he spends on training. Every move he makes is as flawless as if he had been honed over thousands of times.
I'm afraid not all of them have been playing bows for more than ten years! It's not the casual intensity of training in the countryside, but the gameplay of serious high-intensity training. These are elite soldiers who have spent a lot of money to train.
After just one encounter, more than ten of them were lying down. The people behind were completely unprepared and immediately shrank back, using the city gate hole to cover their bodies.
"Stop fighting! We are surrendering in Kaicheng."
"Stop fighting, I really surrender!"
"What's wrong with you, leader of the cavalry? You've been so reckless and reckless, and you've killed so many brothers."
"How did I know that there happened to be a Xia thief, a Xia man, coming over?"
"Stop the quarrel, let's all shout together, surrender!"
"Surrender! Surrender!"
Xia Bing rushed to the city gate, but was forced back by the oncoming arrows. Gao Youqing was waving his hand to order the shield men to come forward, but when he heard the shouts from inside, he stopped again.
"Guo Jiang?" he shouted in person.
"True surrender!" replied the city gate cave.
"I told you earlier! Come out, I won't hurt you." Gao Youqing shouted.
The defenders hesitated for a while and then came out tremblingly.
Gao Youqing ordered his troops to disarm their weapons, and then personally led his troops into the city.
Li Si'en, who was arranging his team behind the city gate, was very surprised when he saw a large group of Xia soldiers rushing over. He stopped his men from moving blindly, stood in the light of the fire, and said: "I am Li Si'en. I specially opened the city to surrender. I didn't know that the king was on the other side.
Which general do you belong to?"
Gao Youqing suppressed the urge to behead Li Si'en with his own hands and shouted: "It turns out to be the envoy of Li Jun. If you want to surrender, you will ruin your harmony in vain."
Li Si'en was stunned, how the hell did I know you were coming to steal the city? But now is not the time to dwell on this. He just heard him say: "There is a disturbance in the city. The thief Zhang Chun took a large number of sergeants, killed Li Cunzhang and his son, and declared himself the queen.
. At present, he is leading people to loot the treasury and create chaos. Such a good opportunity must not be missed by the general. The last general is willing to be the leader and help the king's army to wipe out the thieves and control Jicheng."
"Then you won't lead the way?" Gao Youqing said in surprise.
This was a piece of pie in the sky! But he was very clear-headed and knew that he could not take Youzhou with his thousands of men, so he immediately sent people back to the camp and asked King Zhao to mobilize the Guide, Longwu, and Konghe armies.
The warriors enter the city.
After giving these instructions, he threw away the long ax in his hand, asked someone to bring him a long axe, and laughed and said: "The time has come to make achievements!"
The soldiers responded with a loud voice and charged in fiercely.
Shao Siwu in the east of the city was discussing military affairs with Liu Mian. When he heard about Li Si'en's dedication of the city, he couldn't believe it.
He thought that the villagers from Youzhou Tutuan would rebel and offer the city, but he did not expect that Li Cunzhang and Li Si'en would be so practical and pretend to offer the city. What happened to force people to do this, he was too lazy to care about it.
.
The first thing now is to firmly grasp the great merit that has been delivered to our door!
"Cao Yijin!" Shao Siwu asked someone to put on his armor, pulled out the sword given to him by his father, and shouted.
"The general is here!" Cao Yijin opened the tent and entered.
"Enter the entire army without hesitation!" Shao Siwu ordered.
"As ordered." Cao Yijin hurried away.
"Your Highness, we still need to send envoys to inform the saints." Liu Mian reminded at the side: "After entering the city, we must drive out the rebels and seal up the treasury. Do not touch anything without permission."
"Okay." Shao Siwu immediately summoned his own soldiers and asked them to deliver the order.
Liu Mian is still relatively reliable, and Shao Siwu trusts him more and more now. Every time he talks about the key points, he has literary talent, experience, practical knowledge, and understanding of people. Such a staff has a very high level, and Shao Siwu is surprised where he comes from.
. Are there really talented people in the wild? There are too many talented people in the world.
Shao Siwu decided to secretly send someone to Weizhou to conduct a thorough investigation. He would not dare to use people whose origins were unclear, no matter how outstanding their talents were.
Shao Shude was almost asleep when he received the news.
After listening to Chu Shenping's report, he sighed and continued to sleep.
This is not pretentious.
Li Si'en's dedication of the city was unexpected and reasonable, and there was nothing surprising about it. Youzhou is like a bird, and its fall is inevitable. The suspense is only when it will fall.
Before going to bed, he asked specifically: "I'll ask tomorrow if Siwu has informed Ge Congzhou."
"Yes." Chu Shenping responded.
******
A new day comes soon.
It was December 21, the third year of Jianji, and it was very close to the end of the year. In Youzhou City, after a whole night of turmoil, it had just generally returned to calm.
There were many corpses lying strewn about the streets.
Heavy snow fell, covering it quietly, slightly covering the blood stains.
There are already sergeants patrolling the city, but they are not the Yan soldiers known to the people, but Xia people.
Well, in terms of hometown, the Xia soldiers who patrolled the city were also Yan people, because most of the He Controlling Army were tribal soldiers recruited from Shun, Ji, Ping, Tan and other places.
They don't even have military uniforms, their equipment is poor, their behavior is rude, and their language is vulgar. But to be honest, in the eyes of the people, they are much cuter, at least than the group who made trouble in the city last night.
Most of the Tutuan villagers from various counties in Youzhou have been wiped out - more than 4,000 of them were beheaded and ten thousand people were captured.
Not all the prisoners participated in the rebellion. In fact, most of them stayed in the military camp honestly, but who allowed their fellow villagers to cause the rebellion? The Xia people did not have time to identify them one by one, so they might as well keep them all in custody.
Zhang Chun's head has been hung on the tower.
He died at the hands of one of his own men. At that time, Xia soldiers invaded the Jiedu envoy's mansion. Hundreds of people around Zhang Chun could not resist the enemy. Some people turned against the enemy and stabbed him to death, and then rushed to surrender.
Some people held his head and surrendered, some held his thighs and surrendered, and some dragged half of his body and surrendered...
But their fate was not good. Li Si'en hated these people so much that he ordered a volley of arrows to kill them all.
Xia Bing didn't take it seriously. Wouldn't it be good to kill more thieves? I didn't ask the fellow villagers to borrow their heads. It was already good.
The most seriously damaged areas in the city were the treasury, the city hall and the homes of some high-ranking officials and generals.
There were goods in the treasury and in the market, but they were robbed by the soldiers. All kinds of goods were scattered on the ground, and they are still sorting them out now.
The homes of the generals were simply ravaged and destroyed by the soldiers. Naked women, old and young, lay all over the floor, and the surviving ones were mourning and crying. There were no men left, and they were the first to be killed.
They are the only ones.
Therefore, the aristocratic family is gradually declining, and it is easy to be attacked by warriors. Who can bear it? The bigger the family, the higher the family status, the more money, and the more obvious the goal. In this case, even a fool knows that it is necessary to separate the family, so as not to
Being served in one pot.
After dawn, Yan Bao, the military envoy from the left wing of Long Xiang's army, led 5,000 people into the city from the west gate. Zhang Shensi, the army envoy from the right wing of Tu General, led 3,000 people from the south gate. Feng Zangzhi, deputy envoy of the Xiaojie Army, led 2,000 people.
People enter the city from the north gate - Youzhou North City Wall, which is roughly on the line of Later Generations' Fa Hutong.
As a result, there were more than 20,000 Xia soldiers in the city, and Youzhou was firmly under control.
On December 22, Shao Shude entered the city with a large number of palace guards and silver saddle warriors.
The first thing after entering the city was to escort more than a thousand of the identified rebels outside the city, where they were sentenced to death, and hundreds of people from the gentry, elders, powerful men and military academy in Youzhou City were invited to watch the execution.
These more than a thousand people all participated in the military rebellion the night before. Some did evil things, some did not. Maybe some people were left out, maybe some were wrongly accused, but it doesn't matter, and I won't take the time to verify them carefully.
More than a thousand people were crying, begging, cursing, crying, or silent. No one cared about their feelings, just like they didn't care about the feelings of the people on the night of the rebellion.
Give the order, all the owl heads will be killed, and the blood will shoot to the sky.
Shao Sheng is benevolent, but he is also ruthless. Just as the benevolence of heaven and earth also has frost, and the tolerance of emperors also has axes and axes. No one can blame the soldiers who seek benevolence and get benevolence.
"Your Majesty has brought order out of chaos; he is indeed a holy king."
"Execute the rebels and restore a peaceful world to Youzhou. The merits are immeasurable."
"All the knowledgeable people in Youzhou will remember the great virtues of the saint."
After watching the execution, the Youzhou gentry all prostrated themselves.
Shao Shude sat under the umbrella canopy, feeling calm and calm.
I believe you guys!
If the people of Youzhou are so easy to bribe, there is something wrong! There are many lawless people here, and it is the place farthest away from Wang Hua.
In the three towns of Heshuo, if Weibo was severely punished by the central government and a small number of officials were appointed, Youzhou Town has never felt the pain. They are the most alienated vassal town from the Central Plains dynasty, and their people are very wild.
Very, very little sense of right and wrong.
As long as there are benefits, anyone can join them! Khitan, Bohai, Uighur, if they are really strong enough to overwhelm Youzhou Town, then local civil and military officials will not have any psychological pressure to join them.
When it comes to the governance of Youzhou, don't be too ambitious or hasty.
Of course, Shao Shude is not without a way to deal with these thieves. In fact, he had discussed it with the prime ministers yesterday, and there is only one best way: immigration!
Tens of thousands of households were sent to Guannai, Guanbei, Henan and Huaihai to establish Youzhou.
He was not worried about the land issue at all. Youzhou Town originally had a population of more than one million, but due to the successive rebellions, it was massacred several times by Li Keyong; due to Khitan harassment, most of the land behind the mountains was strategically abandoned;
During the Northern Expedition, a lot of people were lost.
Youzhou now has the smallest population, so it is time to use your own people to fill the hole.
As for the possible backlash from the Youzhou people, just suppress it! Shao Shude will not leave Youzhou in the short term, he has plenty of time to play with them.
