Chapter 356: Standing at the top of the mountain and seeing all the mountains
Reinforcements were not forthcoming, but Li Yunze's army was attracted instead.
The officers and soldiers of the Tianping Army in Yunzhou City naturally all have MMP in their hearts.
They once suggested that Zhu Xuan sue for peace, even if it was just in the hope that the snake would get through this difficult period first.
But Zhu Xuan just didn't listen.
Not only did he not listen to the big guy's advice, he even went around clamoring to avenge his brother.
Well now, the reinforcements did not come, but instead provoked the murderous Xuanwu Army.
According to the traditions of this era and the established rules, if a city is broken, it will be massacred. Warriors like them and their families are the first choice targets without hesitation.
The remnants of the Tianping Army stationed in Yuncheng had no confidence in successfully resisting.
The total number of soldiers in the city is less than 4,000. As for the strong men who were temporarily captured to make up the number, no serious soldier would ever regard them as combat effectiveness.
The Xuanwu Army gathered around the city, numbering at least 50,000 to 60,000!
It was as dark as a dark cloud, and looking from all directions on the city wall, there were continuous military camps surrounding the entire Yunzhou City.
What made the garrison sergeants even more grim-faced and heartbroken was that many of the soldiers coming and going outside were familiar faces.
Not only were there members from the Tianping Army, there were even members from the Taining Army.
Before the group of loud-voiced people came out and started shouting to persuade them to surrender, the defenders knew that they had all fought with the useless Jiedu Envoy before and surrendered after being defeated.
After a little observation and calculation, you can know that there are at least tens of thousands of soldiers besieging the city!
No matter how many men come, the warriors who defend the city are not afraid of them. They believe in their own strength, and killing those cannon fodders is like chopping melons and vegetables.
But those who are ten times his size are all soldiers, so there is no need to fight at all.
"Don't worry, Jiedu." Several captains gathered around Zhu Xuan, their chests beating loudly. "Jiedu has treated me with great kindness, how can I be the treacherous person!"
Zhu Xuan, who squinted his eyes, nodded repeatedly, stroking his beard and smiling, "Hahahaha, you are all my dearest generals, how can I doubt your loyalty? It's getting late now, and I guess the traitor Li Yunze doesn't either.
We will attack the city in the evening. You and others will go to the Jiedu Envoy's house to have a banquet.
Discuss how to defend the city."
"Thank you Jiedu."
This seemingly amiable conversation between the Jiedushi and the generals was in the background of hundreds of loud-voiced sergeants outside the city wall, shouting in unison for the defenders in the city to kill Zhu Xuanlai and surrender.
When the time comes, not only will there be no guilt, but you will also be rewarded with a lot of merit.
We all know each other so well as colleagues, how could we still lie to you?
Those who shouted were basically the prisoners of the Tianping Army who had been captured in the Battle of Caoxian. They used their loud voices to call on their former colleagues in the city to quickly change their ways and fall into the arms of the dazzling Li Jiedu.
Zhu Xuan's banquet was ultimately unsuccessful.
When he came to the gate of Jiedushi, the generals refused in every possible way and refused to go in. Zhu Xuan said all kinds of good things to him, but it was of no use.
Everyone with their own ulterior motives had no choice but to choose to fall out on the spot.
After a lot of fighting, Zhu Xuan, who was in a favorable position, said that he had killed the generals who wanted to rebel, but the news had already spread. Not only did the defenders shaken the rebellion, but even the city gates were opened.
When Li Yunze personally led his troops into the city, he was shocked to see fighting going on all over the city, turning the whole city into a battlefield.
As a real enemy, Li Yunze couldn't intervene here.
This is the drawback of the vassal system.
Generals at all levels regard soldiers and horses as their own personal armed forces, and they can easily start rebellions.
Although those generals were wiped out in advance by Zhu Xuan, their subordinates immediately sent troops after learning the news. They not only opened the city gates but also besieged the Jiedushi's residence to avenge their generals.
As the sky gradually darkened, the fighting in Yunzhou City gradually began to escalate.
They are all professional warriors. Once their eyes are red with blood, they will not care about anything else.
Moreover, fighting can stimulate a surge of adrenaline, reduce people's sanity, and various crimes will naturally begin.
The evil deeds of robbing people, massacring innocent people, and forcing girls to play poker are everywhere.
Seeing this after entering the city, Li Yunze immediately mobilized his troops to attack and began to deal with the rebels.
From ancient times to the present, there has been only one way to deal with rebels, and that is physical attack and humane destruction.
After making these arrangements, Li Yunze led his troops to the Jiedushi's residence.
When I arrived at the mansion, I found that the gate had already been captured, and many defenders were fighting with Zhu Xuan's personal guards inside the mansion.
The scene in front of him made Li Yunze sigh in his heart, "We must solve the problems that the soldiers will face!"
It’s okay to emphasize martial arts over literature, and that’s what Li Yunze planned to do, but we must also solve the problems that arise when we are soldiers. Otherwise, the scene in front of us may happen anytime and anywhere.
It's no wonder that ancient kings were afraid of generals who commanded troops outside. Even Bai Qi, the god of death, was killed.
When the generals raise their arms and shout out, countless sergeants can cause chaos. Which emperor is not afraid?
In Jiedushi's mansion, Zhu Xuan, who was covered in blood and disheveled, staggered open the door with a horizontal knife and rushed into the back house.
His family members all gathered here and shivered.
Looking at the frightened family members in front of him, Zhu Xuan felt sad.
He didn't expect that Li Yunze was so powerful. If he had known about it earlier, he would not have responded to the court's call to attack the Xuanwu Army even if he had been killed.
As for the original intention to occupy the fertile and prosperous land of Bian and Song Dynasties, the imperial order was just an excuse, and Zhu Xuan would naturally not admit it.
Now that you are defeated, you should have the consciousness of failure.
Zhu Xuan, who was exhausted from fighting, walked to his wife, Rong Shi, "The matter has come to this, and our family has no way out. Instead of letting you fall into the hands of thieves and suffer humiliation, it is better to take the first step."
After saying that, Zhu Xuan slowly raised the horizontal sword in his hand.
Rong's pretty face was full of panic. She didn't know where she got the strength at this critical moment of life and death. She suddenly pushed Zhu Xuan away and ran out screaming, "I don't want to die!"
Originally, the women did not have the strength to push Zhu Xuan away, but at this time, Zhu Xuan was already at the end of his strength, and he was unexpectedly pushed away by Rong.
Zhu Xuan wanted to chase him, but he was seriously injured and his steps were too weak to catch up.
With red eyes, Zhu Xuan simply turned around and slashed everywhere with his horizontal sword.
Suddenly, the whole room was filled with the sound of screaming and crying.
When Li Yunze's soldiers and horses finally brought the situation under control, the Jiedu Envoy's mansion was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"Jiedu, we found Zhu Xuan."
Several soldiers carried a corpse to Li Yunze. Zhu Xuan, the governor of the Tianping Army, had committed suicide.
"Zhu Xuan slaughtered all his family members, leaving only his wife, Rong, alive."
Li Yunze glanced at the shivering Rong after hearing this. His radar-like gaze made Rong tremble almost subconsciously.
'Yeah, what a fierce girl.'
Li Yunze nodded subconsciously, but the tooth soldiers around him misunderstood, and someone immediately stepped forward to take Rong away.
This action really stunned Li Yunze. When he reacted, he sighed and stamped his feet, "Hey, I'm not, I didn't, you misunderstood~~~"
Unfortunately, it was too dark, the surrounding environment was too noisy, and Li Yunze's shouts were a bit soft. Anyway, no one around him heard what he was saying.
After a night of fighting, Yunzhou City finally calmed down.
By daybreak, the fires lit by the rioters everywhere had been extinguished, and the soldiers of the brigade were maintaining law and order on the streets. From time to time, rioters and rogues who took advantage of the fire would be tied to the streets and dealt with.
Except for some of the defenders who were stationed on the top of the city and did not participate in the chaos inside the city, the rest of the defenders were treated as rebels by Li Yunze.
There is always only one way to deal with rebels.
In order to stabilize the morale of the soldiers and people in the city, Li Yunze sent people to deliver things door to door after dawn.
Every household has bags of grain, barrels of oil, and fans of frozen meat.
As for the people whose houses were destroyed in the war, Li Yunze also sent auxiliary soldiers and civilians to help rebuild their houses.
Next, he has applied the traditional placement routine with great proficiency.
First of all, we must take down the active groups in the city, the high and low officials in the government offices, and the county officials and petty officials.
After screening, interrogation and identification by the people, arrangements were made to assign their respective crimes.
Needless to say, the most heinous crime can be dealt with very happily.
The rest were assigned to work on the construction site, either digging mines and sand, or building bridges, paving roads, maintaining sewers in the city, etc. Anyway, there was always endless work waiting for them to do.
Then the unlucky ones are local powerful people, wealthy families, temples, Taoist temples, etc.
The disposal process is already very proficient, and it is easy to do it.
After all the fields were collected, the people in the city began to distribute Yongye fields.
The people in the city are also common people, and of course they have a share of the land. As for whether they farm it themselves or rent it out, that's up to them.
After settling in the city, the next step is to visit the various towns and villages outside the city.
Under the arrangement of Hengdao Modao of the Xuanwu Army, the veterans took office as the head of Lizheng Village, redistributed fields and farm tools, arranged various matters to build roads, etc.
It is said that once it is tight, the second time it will be loose, and the third time it will be loose and the fourth time it will be hollow.
The more you do the same thing, the more proficient you become.
Li Yunze does not intend to continue the fight. This time the anti-encirclement war will come to an end here.
It's not a big deal, but it swallowed up a large area of territory such as Yanzhou and Yunzhou. Li Yunze needs time to digest it.
After all, he is not the kind of hero who can occupy the area as long as the local government provides money and people. What he wants is a complete transformation to give the people a way to survive.
However, although Li Yunze did not want to continue fighting, the reactions from all around him still existed.
Shi Pu, the military envoy of the Wuning Army in Pengcheng in the south, hurriedly sent an envoy to ask for Li Yunze's surrender.
You can't blame Shi Pu for being a coward, it's really Li Yunze's powerful striking ability that is too scary.
The Tianping Army and the Taining Army had 60,000 to 70,000 regular soldiers, and the large territories of Yanzhou and Yunzhou were easily swallowed up by Li Yunze. Even Zhu Jin, who was famous for his bravery, was beheaded by his formation.
Facing the powerful Li Yunze in China, Shi Pu, who also sent troops, knew without thinking that he would be the one to be beaten next.
He knew very clearly that he couldn't defeat him, so he could only surrender.
Li Yunze was a little surprised, but he still accepted Shi Pu's surrender.
Just like Shi Pu was delaying, Li Yunze was also waiting for Kong to take action before dealing with him.
After bordering Pinglu Town in the east, Pinglu Town was also afraid that Li Yunze would take advantage of the situation to attack it, so it sent an envoy with a thousand war horses as a gift to make friends with Li Yunze.
There are also horse farms in the Central Plains, but most of them are very small. Only Pinglu Town has a truly large horse farm with a large number of horses.
Here, it actually includes Zengtou City in the world of Water Margin, where horse breeding has a tradition.
The vassals and towns from all over the country came to show their goodwill. The only reason was that Li Yunze used his powerful strength to overwhelm China.
While all parties were in awe, the court was also turbulent.
It was their turn to be unlucky now that they had fought hard against Li Yunze.
There is no way, whoever they support will be defeated.
In this era of warriors ruling the country, if you lose, you will have the consciousness of being unlucky.
