The rogues were really just rogues in the beginning.
Even though they conquered cities and destroyed many cities, they still swept away everything like locusts.
Deep down in my heart, I still regard myself as a bandit, and I will run away after making one vote.
After ambushing Feng Tang and Hou Xiaokang's troops and winning a complete victory, gathering tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, taking advantage of the situation to capture Tongguan, and seizing a large amount of military supplies, the leaders finally began to drift off.
'The prince and general Xiang Ning are so excited!'
'Enter Shenjing City and stay overnight in the palace!'
"If you take Shenjing, you can have as many houses as you want."
'The emperor takes turns and comes to my house this year.'
A group of leaders were eating meat and drinking wine in Tongguan, imagining what it would be like to sit on the dragon chair after conquering the sacred city.
Especially when I heard that there are many wealthy families in the Shenjing City, and every household has many charming girls. They are all so cute that they wish they could fly over and pick flowers.
The leaders of all walks of life were dissatisfied with each other, and while they were quarreling over who was the eldest brother in Tongguan, they heard that the imperial army had already passed through Huazhou.
"how many people?"
This is the issue that the leaders are most concerned about. After all, the only thing they can rely on is the human wave tactic.
"More than ten thousand people."
Upon hearing this answer, the leaders breathed a sigh of relief.
He had previously defeated tens of thousands of officers and soldiers from the Beijing camp (including civilian husbands), and these mere tens of thousands of people were just here to deliver food.
Immediately, several leaders came forward and said, 'Brothers, please rest in the pass and have a drink when we return with the heads of the officers and soldiers!'
These few people totaled tens of thousands of troops, so it would not be difficult to wipe out more than 10,000 officers and soldiers.
Several elder brothers who wanted to compete for the position of the big boss immediately expressed their support and even sent gold, silver, food and grass to enhance their performance.
Two days later, the defeated troops who fled back in embarrassment brought news that the tens of thousands of troops had collapsed.
"How did you lose?"
The leaders only wanted to know why the tens of thousands of troops were defeated.
"We ran into the officers and soldiers, and they were pressing over like a city wall. They were firing with cannons in front, and bombarding them with artillery behind them. When we got to the front, the soldiers who were like a wall were smashed directly. When the whole army fled,
, the official cavalry came out from both wings, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties. Several leaders could not escape."
The defeated soldiers were obviously frightened and were trembling while speaking.
A leader asked an important question: "Whose flag were the officers and soldiers flying?"
"Jia~~~"
Someone immediately thought about it and said, "It's that champion Hou? The one who quelled the chieftain rebellion in the southwest and defeated the pirates in the southeast!"
A person's name, a tree's shadow.
Li Yunze's reputation has indeed suppressed many bandits.
At this time, someone said, "Brothers, don't panic. We are in Tongguan. This is the most powerful pass in the world. We still have hundreds of thousands of men. As long as we hold on here, he won't be able to break in even if we are exhausted."
All the leaders nodded in response, indicating that you are right, brother.
After the military meeting ended, many leaders began to quietly send their confidants to leave eastward with the captured trophies.
On the second day, the big flag with the word "Jia" was already standing at the foot of Tongguan City.
There was no hesitation, not even the slightest bit of setting up camp.
Dozens of artillery pieces were pushed up and fired fiercely at the city wall.
Tongguan is indeed the most powerful pass in the world, but the one facing the east is really strong. The side facing away from Guanzhong is far less strong than the back.
In half a day's effort, the city wall here was blown down.
Immediately, the musketeers stepped forward to cover and fire. Thousands of soldiers wearing heavy armor, holding an anti-explosion shield in one hand, and carrying hammers, axes and other weapons lined up and poured into the city gate.
Not surprisingly, the bandits collapsed again.
They are not united to begin with, they don’t even have a big brother in name only, and the main force is made up of refugees, with no organization or determination to fight to the death.
When the city gate was destroyed, some leaders had already taken the lead in escaping. By the time the soldiers came up, it was completely collapsed.
It's not that there are no bandits who want to fight to the death, but when everyone is running for their lives, the bravery of some individuals will soon be overwhelmed.
You don’t even have a queen, so why should I break the queen and let you escape?
What's even more interesting is that all the leaders think so.
Because of this, the rogue army, which was limited by the terrain and was unable to take advantage of its numerical advantage, was naturally defeated.
After sending out cavalry to pursue, Li Yunze led his troops into Guancheng.
"All the prisoners are carefully identified. Anyone with blood on their hands, who is originally a city fox or a rat, a local gangster or a mountain bandit, will be killed."
After entering the customs, Li Yunze's first order was to act murderously.
When the world is in chaos, there is no shortage of ambitious people.
And those scumbags are making trouble and doing all kinds of evil.
Li Yunze has no sympathy or pity for these people, and direct disposal is the only option.
Keeping them will only bring disaster.
As for the refugees who could not survive, Li Yunze raised them first and then divided them into fields for resettlement when they arrived in the Central Plains.
Will doing this violate his authority or something? Li Yunze, who is going to do what old thieves Cao Cao and Sima did when he returns home, would care about this.
In Tongguan General's Mansion, Li Yunze walked through the lobby filled with wine jars and walked into the backyard and saw Zicuckoo.
"have you eaten?"
Zijuan shook her head, knowing that she was not asking herself, "The lady said she has no appetite."
After that, he explained, "The carriage ride was tiring, and I smelled a lot of blood on the road."
"I understand." Li Yunze smiled and raised his hand to rub Zicuckoo's hair, then stepped into the house.
Zijuan's little face turned red from suppressing it, and she squatted on the ground with her hair in her hands.
This action of rubbing your hair is really too much!
Lin Daiyu's angry voice soon came from the room, "If you don't want to eat, I just don't want to eat."
After that, Li Yunze's kind words comforted me, "No matter what, people have to eat. Only when they have enough food can they have the strength to do things."
Later, the relief turned into a threat, 'I'll feed you if you don't eat again.'
The rhododendron squatting on the ground pricked up its ears.
'If you don't want to eat, you won't eat. You can leave.'
"You forced me to do this." The sound of slurping soup came from the room, and Zijuan knew that it was Tremella soup, or that she had brought it in with her own hands.
Then, she heard her young lady’s panicked cry, ‘What are you doing, don’t come over, wuwu~~~’
This is the sound of a mouth being blocked.
Later, Zicuckoo couldn't listen anymore, got up and fled to the door of the yard in embarrassment.
This scene was not the first time. Lin Daiyu had lost her appetite since she left Shenjing City, and Li Yunze used this method to force her to eat every time.
"Why is the second master like this?" Zijuan, who was squatting at the door of the yard, blushed. "My lady is not married yet, what should I do in the future?"
Qianxue and others walked over with dishes, but were stopped by Zijuan, "Don't go there."
"What about the food?"
"Let's eat!"
Li Yunze didn't come out of the house until night fell and the stars were shining in the sky.
Zijuan and others clearly saw the red rouge on the corner of his mouth, but they were intermittently blind and pretended not to see it.
When I cautiously walked into the house, the first thing I noticed was that the four dishes and one soup on the table were empty.
Obviously, my young lady does not have such a big appetite, and this was all taken away by the second master.
Seeing her young lady sitting on a stool, holding a beautiful tube in one hand and an extremely delicate and compact mirror applying rouge in the other, Zijuan couldn't help but step forward and squat in front of Sister Lin, "Miss, you
What should we do in the future? The second master has a real wife."
Lin Daiyu, whose bun was a little messy, stopped what she was doing.
She was silently dazed for a while, and then gave Zijuan a dumbfounded response.
"He said there is a way to solve it, and I believe him."
Zijuan was really dumbfounded. What kind of reply was this? This was clearly the deception of a scumbag trying to trick a little girl!
She was also anxious and grabbed the young lady's hand. In her anxiety, she couldn't help but try to lower her voice. She looked around like a thief and then asked, "Miss, are you okay?"
After not coming out for a long time, Lin Daiyu was amused, "Is it nothing?"
"You didn't hand yourself over, did you?"
Lin Daiyu's face turned red when she asked this question, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
He stood up pretending to be angry, walked into the house and threw himself on the couch.
"Miss." Zijuan followed over and consoled her earnestly, "No matter what the second master says, you can't hand yourself over. At least not until he marries you. I really do it for your own good."
Lin Daiyu, who was covered with a quilt, twisted impatiently.
What she was thinking in her mind was, 'It's all like this, what's the difference?'
When setting off from Tongguan the next day, Lin Daiyu changed to a brand new carriage.
This was specially ordered by Li Yunze from the modern world overnight.
The shape is still simple, but the interior is full of modern technology.
The shock absorption system and rubber tires effectively alleviate the bumps of the carriage.
A small air purification system and micro air conditioner are also installed inside.
Li Yunze even thoughtfully placed many books and champagne in the minibar.
Seeing her young lady lazily leaning against the velvet, holding a book in one hand and a crystal clear wine glass in the other, Zijuan lamented, "Why did the young lady refuse such a considerate man?"
How can Dabao-face, who only thinks about having fun, be compared to Li Yunze, who is considerate and capable!
Zicuckoo had no choice but to watch helplessly as her young lady sank in little by little, unable to extricate herself.
Two days later, when I was resting in a certain county town, I saw Li Yunze being kicked out of the house. When I entered the house with suspicion, I saw my young lady disheveled. Zijuan almost fainted.
Fortunately, Lin Daiyu swore that it was nothing, so she could take a breath.
But soon, Lin Daiyu said, "You actually called me young, huh!"
"What's so small? What's so small? What on earth did you do!"
This made Zijuan fall into numbness. What should I do?
Li Yunze's army marched unhurriedly.
It was not that the rogue bandits never thought of counterattack, they even resorted to the tactic of large-scale encirclement again.
But the human sea tactics that once easily annihilated Feng Tang's troops were defeated by Li Yunze's endless fire cannon fire.
Going up there is more or less a death, which makes the rogue bandits, who already have little morale and organization, suffer a direct morale collapse and collapse again.
The rogue bandits could not march faster than Li Yunze's troops. They were either overtaken and beaten or chased on the road throughout the day.
There were constant fights along the way, and many of the leaders either died in battle or were captured and punished. The remaining ones were chased like rabbits, being chased all the way south along the Grand Canal, almost to Yangzhou Mansion!
A small group of bandits can scatter in all directions, but a large group of bandits can't escape after being chased closely.
When we arrived at Yangzhou Prefecture, we had no choice but to fight against the odds, because there was a big river ahead of us!
