As soon as Hu Xin left, Yang Shu felt like a wooden chicken, kneeling on the couch blankly, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.
This victory is so weird?
Just in time for the war, thunder struck the city. It felt like God was counting the time to help Li Chengzhi?
Never heard of it...
Do you want to say that Hu Xin lied?
Haha, I wouldn’t even dare to borrow ten of his courage.
That can only be true...
What surprised Yang Shu was that Li Chengzhi had fought numerous battles since he raised his army, and it seemed that all of them were based on luck?
It's not that he is not strong, but no matter which battle, before he exerts his strength, there will be sudden changes of one kind or another, resulting in the enemy's defeat, making every victory of Li Chengzhi seem like a joke.
Same...
Could it be that Li Chengzhi is really a man blessed by heaven, with great fortune at his side, just like Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty?
Thinking of this, Yang Shu's pupils shrank suddenly and he smiled.
I am really confused, actually comparing Li Chengzhi to Emperor Guangwu?
Even now, I don’t know how many times more complicated it was than in the late Han Dynasty. It is simply a state of chaos that has never been seen before in the past and present.
Great chaos must be followed by great governance, but it does not happen suddenly.
Look at this scene, how can we continue to cause chaos for dozens or even hundreds of years...
He shook his head in a self-deprecating manner and walked out of the nave happily.
Seeing the smile on Yang Shu's face, most of the county officials guessed that it was a good thing, so they all left the room and surrounded him.
"Your Majesty, this is good news!"
"It is indeed good news!" Yang Shu nodded slightly, paused deliberately, and then said, "General Li attacked the city overnight and has occupied Anwu..."
There was a "buzz", which seemed to have stirred up a hornet's nest, and the whole hall was filled with the sound of gasping for cold air.
Every one of them had their eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
Just one night...
If they hadn't met Hu Xin and knew that Yang Shu was a serious person and never joked, they would all have thought he was telling a joke.
That's not right...
For those of you with quick brains, you suddenly remembered that when Li Chengzhi left, he seemed to have left without even a few ladders and ladders. And Yang Shu also claimed that he was "attacking the city overnight" rather than trying to persuade him to surrender?
How was this city captured?
Someone had the courage to ask, and Yang Shu pondered for a moment before telling the truth.
For us, this is a great good thing, what can’t be said?
Isn’t this a miracle of God blessing the righteous master and helping him to punish traitors and subjugate evil?
Yang Shu originally thought that if everyone heard this, even if they wouldn't be shocked, they would definitely cheer like thunder.
But unexpectedly, one or two of them seemed to be so frightened that they couldn't even turn their eyes?
Yang Shu laughed dumbly.
Even when I heard it just now, wasn’t it true that I was stunned and stunned?
After waiting for a while, seeing that these people had calmed down, he smiled warmly and said: "General Li's occupation of Anwu City is equivalent to cutting off the rebels' westward advance. We should use this as a pass to capture the rebels."
The thieves are blocked in the east of Anwu and will no longer invade our Longdong...
Starting tonight, we will work hard to prepare grain and grass as soon as possible and transport them to Anwu City as soon as possible for the army to march eastward. In addition, we must also inform the gentry and villagers to resume farming as soon as possible..."
After saying that, Yang Shu smiled slightly and entered the central hall.
Only then did a group of county officials realize: What Yang Juncheng said is actually true?
Not only has the army captured Anwu City, but the city gate was blown open with the help of God's sudden thunderstorm?
I have never heard of it in my whole life...
But no matter what, it is always true that Anwu City has been recovered. If it were not for a major change, there would be no worries about intrusion by thieves in Jingyang and Longdong.
The crowd was amazed for a while, and then cheered like thunder, as if the roof of the county government office was about to be lifted off...
……
Hu Mansion.
Hu Xin knelt down in the hall and told Hu Haibing everything about the battle.
Hu Hai's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that Li Chengzhi actually sent Hu Baozong as the vanguard and planned to falsely open the city gate for him himself.
This is tantamount to giving the first credit to Hu Baozong.
It’s not in vain that I have worked so hard and made such a heavy bet...
Before he could finish his emotion, after hearing Hu Xin say that the city gate was blown open by thunder, Hu Hai's face froze and he stood up without even using his crutch.
He asked in shock: "Is this serious?"
Hu Xin kowtowed his head heavily: "Xin is a retainer of the Hu family, how dare you speak nonsense in front of the Grand Duke? At that time, the school captain led us to hide a mile away, and all the five brigades could see clearly...
”
Just like those county officials, Hu Hai's mind was filled with disbelief: Is this true?
After thinking for a long time, he could only attribute it to Li Chengzhi's good luck...
Then, he asked suspiciously: "Why are you here to report?"
Hu Xin sighed secretly, and recounted the past story of Guo Cunxin who had Li Chengzhi killed and captured, and Hu Baozong, who was so frightened that he had to send him to ask Yang Shu to persuade him.
Hu Hai was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "A woman's kindness?"
Hu Xin also thought that Hu Hai was scolding Hu Baozong, so he had the courage to speak kind words for Hu Baozong: "I hope Grandpa will not blame you. Xin boldly said: It is not that the captain is soft-hearted. On weekdays, let alone thousands, it is tens of thousands."
If you surrender the thief, you will kill him.
The captain just considered that if Li Chengzhi was allowed to kill like this, the rebels might not survive much...
At that time, not only will there be no extra labor to cultivate the fields, but I am afraid that there will be no need to cultivate another 100,000 acres. In the end, doesn’t it mean that my favor of giving up these 100,000 acres of land has been wasted?”
Hu Hai looked at him deeply and said: "Idiot"!
His words about women's benevolence were aimed at Li Chengzhi.
Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. How much is benevolence and righteousness worth?
Even if he really wanted to kill him, he shouldn't just cut it off with a single blow. Even if he was placed in front of the two armies and used as cannon fodder, it should be able to play a big role.
Killing like this makes me feel happy, but it only makes my heart feel better, and there is no benefit at all...
Hu Xin was even more confused.
When we arrived at Taigong's place, Li Chengzhi, who was so murderous, turned out to be a benevolent woman?
How could Hu Hai tell him so many truths? He just told him to try his best to assist Hu Baozong, wrote a letter to Hu Baozong, and asked Hu Xin to withdraw.

It was almost midnight, but Hu Xin did not dare to delay at all and left the city overnight.
Fortunately, the journey is not far, only forty or fifty miles, and with the moon, the road is not too difficult. The horse runs slower, and two hours has arrived.
……
Anwucheng, county government.
A large group of generals knelt neatly in the central hall, quietly looking at Li Chengzhi at the top.
Li Chengzhi stood in front of a huge table, as if he was in a trance or deep in thought.
The case table is filled with fragments, including maps, confessions obtained from the rebels, and military information that Li Shi led Tangqi to investigate.
Guo Cunxin and Hu Baozong stood on one side, glancing at Li Chengzhi from time to time, and then looking at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
I fully expected that Li Chengzhi would be extremely angry when he heard that the rebels were using civilians as military food. Even if he didn't faint from anger like when he was outside the city, he would definitely go crazy and kill all the six thousand surrendered prisoners.
.
Little did I know that he was calmer than anyone else.
The main force of the rebel army, that is, the nearly two thousand soldiers who defended the city, their hands were already stained with blood, their heads were full of fat, and their eyes were red. They may have eaten hundreds of kilograms of human flesh. They were all killed. p>
But when it was the turn of the auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands, Li Chengzhi actually became the court official and tried the case?
Not only did he interrogate himself, he also forced Guo Cunxin, Hu Baozong, Li Song, and other generals to interrogate him together.
If someone is really coerced and forced by the thieves, and the remaining thieves testify against each other and prove that his crime is not fatal, Li Chengzhi will let him go...
From mid-afternoon to nearly night, the nearly four thousand remaining captives were interrogated as if they were going through the process, but more than three thousand survived?
Li Chengzhi temporarily asked the soldiers to take custody of him, saying that after dawn tomorrow, he would send people to Jingyang City and hand them over to Yang Shu for disposal...
Hu Baozong and Guo Cunxin expressed surprise, but also had some regrets.
If they had known this, why would they bother to send Hu Xin to ask Yang Shu to be a lobbyist?
In the end, the two of them turned into villains?
The two of them were quarreling with each other when they saw Li Chengzhi suddenly making a move.
Li Chengzhi knocked on the table with his hand, as if he was thinking. After a while, he said:
"The Book of War says: Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you survive a hundred battles. But the rebels have surrounded Jingzhou like an iron barrel. How can the Tangqi detect the enemy's situation without being taken advantage of by the rebels?"
He is really worried.
There are not 100,000 but 40,000 to 50,000 rebels surrounding Jingzhou City. How many rebels are hidden among them?
The strange thing is that because it was arranged by Liu Huiwang himself, even Li Wenzhong didn't know the details.
In addition, Quaigu County to the south of Jingzhou and Wuzhi County to the north are both in the hands of the rebels, and they are at odds with each other. If the enemy's situation cannot be determined and feasible strategies and tactics cannot be formulated, Li Chengzhi will really
Don't dare to attack Jingzhou rashly.
Although they are not being dumped, each of these five thousand white-armored soldiers is Li Chengzhi's heart and soul. Naturally, he has to think of a foolproof strategy to minimize casualties.
As he spoke, Li Chengzhi's eyes swept over the faces of Hu Baozong, Li Song, Li Feng, Li Shi, Huangfu Rang and others.
Guo Cunxin was shocked.
Is Li Chengzhi preparing to counterattack Jingzhou today?
Do you need to be in such a hurry?
He asked in shock: "Why not wait for a while until Duke Xi raises his troops and attack from both sides?"
Li Chengzhi's eyes moved slightly and he whispered: "It is precisely because we want to achieve the goal of attacking from both sides that we have to take the initiative..."
Guo Cunxin became more and more confused the more he listened, but Hu Baozong and Li Song understood it instantly.
Who is Xi Kangsheng?
A truly famous general of this dynasty!
Yang Dayan, who is as famous as him, has gone through many ups and downs, and is still serving as a soldier in Yingzhou. But it has been more than 20 years since Xi Kangsheng started his career, and he has fought hundreds of battles, big and small, without even a single defeat?
Facing such a character, Liu Huiwang is afraid that he will have nightmares every night?
Whenever he heard that Xi Kangsheng had sent troops from the east, Liu Huiwang would definitely use his main force to break through to the west.
Not to mention 200,000, even if the rebels only have 20,000, they are not that easy to fight.
It’s not that I can’t win, but I can’t do my best.
After all, Liu Huiwang is not a fool. He has decided to abandon the city and flee, so he will definitely not fight Li Chengzhi as he wants.
Once the rebel army is divided into several groups and allowed to escape, they will become horse thieves and bandits, and Jingzhou will never have a stable life in the future.
Li Chengzhi's idea was that before Xi Kangsheng came and Liu Huiwang was not too cowardly to just run for his life, it would be best to force him to fight to the death and win the battle.
Even if it doesn't work, the rebels will be beaten to pain and fear. At least let Liu Huiwang know that this wave in the west is not a vegetarian.
When the leader was on both sides and didn't know which way to escape, Xi Kangsheng was about to arrive. At this time, it was not too late to attack from both sides.
