The southern city was converted into a huge prison cell, and the surrendered Northland Army soldiers spent their first night in the city.
They had been disarmed and had no strength to resist, and they were all listlessly basking in the sun.
Fortunately, Yong Jun did not abuse them and gave everyone a steamed bun in the morning.
Of course, one steamed bun was not enough to satisfy them, but being able to eat gave these soldiers a sense of peace of mind.
If the Yong army wants to kill them, there is no need to give them steamed buns. At least for now, the hope of survival is high.
After eating, twenty or thirty soldiers gathered in a room with a nearly extinguished stove in the middle.
"Hundreds of households, thousands of households, and the third-level commanders and commanders have all been captured by Yong's army. I think the situation is more serious than bad!"
"What does it have to do with us whether they die or not? We should just worry about ourselves!"
"His Royal Highness King Yong is based on benevolence and righteousness. Don't you think he will get into trouble with Qiu Ba like us?"
While everyone was talking, someone raised his voice and said, "If you ask me, the man named Liu is to blame for this. If he hadn't rebelled against the court, would we have ended up like this?"
Everyone nodded. As the leading soldiers, they could only follow the orders of their superiors.
"But this old bastard escaped. If we catch him... I have to kill him!"
"Exactly..."
While everyone was discussing, they heard noises outside, so someone left the room to take a look.
"Drag him out... beat him to death..."
"Beat him..."
Hearing the sound coming from the courtyard not far away, the soldiers in the nearby courtyard all walked out of the door and rushed towards the noisy area in the cold wind.
In the noisy courtyard, two people on the ground kept rolling under the kicks of the soldiers, trying to get up but not being knocked down.
"Drag it out, drag it out..."
Although everyone was happy to watch the excitement, they still couldn't help but ask: "Brothers inside, what's going on?"
"Brother, what can't you talk about properly?"
Hearing the shouts from everyone in the courtyard, someone in the courtyard sneered: "My brother? We don't dare to climb high!"
Everyone was puzzled. The man inside picked up one of the people on the ground and said to everyone: "Look... who is he?"
Although this man had been beaten to a bruised nose and face, his face was so familiar that everyone at the scene recognized it.
"Liu... is the envoy!"
Hearing this, people behind who didn't see clearly were in an uproar.
They all thought Liu Shili had escaped, but unexpectedly he was still hiding among them, and they didn't know how he was found.
"That's all bullshit, this bitch almost killed us!"
At this time, someone outside the courtyard shouted: "I don't want the good Wangfu food. Bring us to attack the Wangfu. I think we should beat this bastard to death..."
This statement attracted everyone's approval, so someone shouted: "That's right, beat him to death!"
Even people outside the courtyard were rushing inside at this moment, wanting to beat Liu Shili to relieve his anger.
Now that everyone is in such a difficult situation, who cares about Liu Shili's former status?
The fists and kicks given to this former big shot allowed everyone present to vent their anger, and it was particularly relaxing.
Liu Yuquan was beaten together with Liu Shili. His uncle and nephew were really worse off than dead at this moment.
"Stop... stop it all..."
"I am... the commander of the capital..."
No matter what Liu Shili said, no one at the scene paid him any attention. While talking, he licked several wounds on his body.
"You rebelled..." Liu Yuquan yelled.
But it was this roar that attracted more hatred to Long You. The next moment, his arm was trampled and broken, and screams of wailing could be heard in the courtyard.
Panicked like a bereaved dog...it can be said that it is the most appropriate word to describe these two uncles and nephews.
The scene was noisy, but a sharp scolding could be heard not far away: "Get out of the way, get out of the way... everyone, get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way..."
Upon hearing this, the crowded crowd immediately gave way to allow the Yong Army soldiers who appeared here to arrive.
"Everyone stop it!"
Hearing the scolding, everyone who was having fun in the courtyard stopped and then took a few steps back.
It was only when the soldiers of the Yong Army arrived that Liu Shili and his two men could take a breather, otherwise they would really be beaten to death.
"When we entered the city, we strictly ordered that no one should leave the courtyard without authorization, let alone start a fight. You fucking pigs? Have you forgotten all about it?"
The person who cursed was a small flag officer, who was responsible for managing the 300 surrendered soldiers in this area.
When these people make trouble, it will appear that they are not doing things well, which will affect their boss's evaluation of him.
Scanning the crowd present, the flag officer yelled angrily: "Everyone else, go back!"
Everyone moved away in a hurry. They were so subdued that they had no temper at all at this moment.
After driving the others away, Xiaoqi Guan glanced at the two people lying on the ground, and then glanced at the more than 20 people standing in front of him.
"Who is the leader here?"
I saw one of them stand up and replied tremblingly: "Reply... Sir, I am the one below!"
"You don't care if they fight?"
The man looked troubled and said: "My lord... I really can't restrain you!"
Everyone has surrendered and the troops have been completely dispersed. It is difficult for such a temporarily appointed leader to establish his majesty overnight.
After snorting coldly, the flag officer immediately asked: "Why are we fighting?"
"Sir, Liu Shili is really such a bastard that the brothers couldn't help but feel angry, so..."
Before the man could finish his words, the flag officer was extremely surprised and said, "Who are you talking about? Who is he?"
The leader pointed at one of them and said, "Sir, this is Liu Shili, the capital of the North, and the other is his nephew Liu Yuquan!"
Looking at the two people who were covered in injuries and disheveled, Xiao Qiguan's face burst into laughter.
Liu Shili raised his head with all his strength, letting blood ooze from the corners of his mouth, and said tremblingly: "I...I want to see His Highness King Yong!"
Before he could escape, Liu Shili changed his clothes and infiltrated into the broken army, hiding here and there to hide his identity. He finally stayed up all night in the woodshed, which shows how strong his desire for survival was.
Until now, he is unwilling to give up and plans to meet Zhao Yanxun to seek a way out.
Waving his hand forward, the flag officer said in a deep voice: "Arrest him!"
…………
In the Pingshan Mansion Yamen, Zhao Yanxun was sitting in the side hall.
There was a map placed in front of him, which marked the terrain near Bei'an Prefecture and the deployment of all forces.
Although Liu Shili was defeated, there were still 20,000 soldiers left in the various departments of the Beidi Dusi.
These people can't make big waves, but it's not easy to eat them up, so be sure to discuss them in detail.
Of course, the first problem before us now is to first deal with the imperial army outside Bei'an City.
In the side hall, in addition to Zhao Yanxun, there were several thousand households. The atmosphere was relatively relaxed after a victory.
"Luo Lun exposed Xu Longsheng's conspiracy and allowed Bei'an Mansion to defend the city, but Bei'an Mansion currently has too few troops!"
Looking at the several thousand households present, Zhao Yanxun continued: "The Forbidden Army is elite and has brought siege equipment. I'm afraid Bei'an Mansion won't be able to hold on for long!"
"We cannot allow the Forbidden Army to invade the city, so we must support Bei'an Mansion as soon as possible!"
Everyone present nodded, there was no doubt about this.
Leaning back on the chair, Zhao Yanxun asked: "Tell me, how long will it take for my subordinates to recuperate before they can go north to fight?"
Several Qianhu looked at each other and heard Wang Cheng say: "Your Majesty, I and my subordinates can go north today!"
"Me too!"
"I can do it too!"
Everyone was expressing their stance here and there, clearly asking for a fight, Zhao Yanxun showed a smile.
"Since you said so, let's set off tomorrow and let Bei'an Prefecture hold on for two days. It shouldn't be a problem!"
"Just right, use this to consume the strength of both of them!"
Seeing Zhao Yanxun's firm gaze, everyone stopped talking and told his subordinates to take a rest.
"Your Majesty, Shengming!"
"You should all go your own way. The people below can rest, but you can't!"
