After Zhao Xun gathered the five lieutenants, he explained in detail the matter of taking Siyang City again. The four of them were stunned and speechless. None of them expected that when their general left,
I was still unwilling to be lonely and insisted on playing another big show in Liangzhou Prefecture.
But everyone was still very excited about this. Of course they were excited if they could have another Siyang City. Think about it, half a month ago, Siyang City was captured by them, and half a month later, it was captured again. Not to mention anything else,
It's enough to make Wu Meng and others chasing him vomit blood in anger.
Afterwards, Zhao Xun said that he had secretly sent someone to discuss with the current Siyang County left-behind Zhang Yongxue. This operation was not very difficult. As long as the Siyang County left-behind Captain Zhang Yongxue cooperated, it would be easy.
"General, will this Zhang Yongxue learn..."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "There shouldn't be a problem. Besides, the 4,000 people in the city will tell whether they will leave the city at that time. If there is a problem, we will go south directly. However, if that is the case, we will take care of it."
If you don’t get to the bandits in the west, you can also restrain the Tang army’s energy.”
"In this way, it will be difficult for these new affiliated troops to gain the trust of the Tang army in the future." Li Guochang said in a deep voice.
"Isn't this very good? It's beneficial to us to make them cracked from each other." Guan Lin said distractedly, paying attention to breaking through Siyang City.
Zhao Xun knew what Li Guochang wanted to say. If Siyang City was broken, it would be difficult for those new affiliated troops to gain the trust of the Tang army. At least, in the short term, it would even lead to the purge of the new affiliated military officers.
"These are not something we should worry about. Since they surrender, they should make such plans. Besides, what is more important than our smooth escape." Lu Yu said in a deep voice.
"Since that's the case, then start to act!" Zhao Xun made a decision to issue a military order.
Siyang City, county government.
Because Siyang City was destroyed not long ago, the county magistrate and Siyang County stayed behind to work together. If there is any problem, the civil and military sides can also negotiate with each other to solve it faster.
Early this morning, civil and military officials gathered together urgently to discuss issues that need to be solved urgently.
"Everyone, you have also seen the current situation. Yongxian Town, Siyang County has been attacked by nearly a thousand bandits! Yongxian Town is standing firm and waiting for our rescue, waiting for our rescue." County Magistrate Chen Yu said anxiously. Yongxian County, Siyang County
Chen Town is also a clan force and the place where the Zuo family of the big clan is located. Chen Yu is also a child of the Chen family, so he naturally has to stand with these clan children. He knows that these bandits who are wandering around are specifically dedicated to the destruction township.
Fort, looting the wealthy clan.
"This... shouldn't be. All the bandits are in the western region. How could there be nearly a thousand bandits wandering through Siyang County? County Magistrate Chen, you can't make a mistake?" Zhang Yongxue, the left-behind Siyang County, wasn't it?
He said slowly, not at all anxious about suppressing the bandits.
Chen Yu saw Zhang Yongxue like this, his teeth were itchy. Since Zhang Yongxue became a left-behind Siyang County, he has been with the wealthy families in Siyang County and the prominent families. Many wealthy families and large families have the same place as the generals.
Then he was quick. But the other party was left behind in Siyang County. He did not leave the city easily on weekdays and had heavy troops around him, so they did not dare to act rashly.
Chen Yu said coldly: "According to the meaning of the lieutenant, we will ignore the chaos of bandits outside the west? Is our Siyang County still under the rule of the Tang army? The lieutenant abandoned the people of Siyang County in this way.
What is like grass, who does it mean?”
Zhang Yongxue snorted coldly and said nothing. The other party's intention was already involved in the Tang army's intention of using the bandits to eliminate the wealthy families. How could he make any excuses? However, he believed that the four Zhiguo school captains on both sides were doing
I will definitely speak. Although I am the left-behind lieutenant of Siyang County and control the military affairs of the whole city, the four people below do have a thousand people in the Zhiguo lieutenant, and the name is lower than that of them. In fact, they are the only ones who have their own names.
Integrated.
"It seems that I am the one Tang Jun used as a scapegoat." Looking at the four lieutenants of Zhiguo who ignored him and did not have any respect for him, Zhang Yongxue said secretly, "You are not kind and righteous, don't blame the lieutenant of this lieutenant.
Ruthless."
"Don't worry, the county magistrate. Captain Zhang is not saying that he will not go to rescue, but he is just a little uncertain about the other party's identity and number of people." A Captain Zhiguo said lightly.
Chen Yu's face turned cold and said coldly: "Unsure? Doubt me? Yongxian Town is a big town with 500 township heroes and wall guards. If there weren't too many bandits, how could they have gone to us
Seeking help here? What a good Captain Zhang. You might also want to use the help of bandits to eliminate the big families in Siyang County.”
Seeing this, Zhang Yongxue had long been disdainful of them, smiled coldly, and said nothing.
"The four lieutenants, thousands of bandits in Yongchen Town, must have been led by our right general, so he took this opportunity to get a handful of them in Siyang County. If they could be wiped out,
That is also a great achievement. Who will send troops, please? Rescue is like putting out a fire, so don't hesitate. If Yongxian Town is broken, I am afraid that none of the people in my lobby will have a good result."
"The Right General led his army west, but his back was destroyed by bandits. Do you think of the consequences? I am a civil servant and still outside, but you guys are not doing well." Chen
Yu said with a calm expression.
The four lieutenants of the fruits discussed and finally decided to send two people to attack. Originally, one thousand bandits could be completed by a team of fruits. However, staying in Siyang City, there was no merit or benefit to get.
It is only more than fifty miles away from Siyang City, and it is not surprising that there is anything unexpected in Siyang City.
As for Zhang Yongxue, the left-behind captain in Siyang County, it was not in the eyes of the four Zhiguo captains. They only discussed this action and left Zhang Yongxue aside.
"Everyone, since you have made the decision, this lieutenant is not willing to say much. Let me say goodbye! I wish you all the victory!" Zhang Yongxue bowed his hand with a gloomy face and left straight away.
"Hmph... the left-behind captain? He really regarded himself as a figure!" As a result, the captain Guo sneered at Zhang Yongxue's back as he left.
"How is it?" When he returned to his home, the contact person of the government army was still the young man with an ordinary appearance and a little thin appearance. At this moment, he had been waiting by his side.
"What else can it be done? They are going to send two thousand troops to Yongxian Town to encircle and suppress the enemy! By the way, how many people have you laid out in Yongxian Town? Are you going to swallow these two thousand Tang troops?" Zhang Yongxue asked in a deep voice.
The young man smiled and said, "I don't know this clearly. We are only responsible for the affairs of the city and do not understand the outside world. By the way, our goal this time is the East Gate!"
"East Gate? East Gate is also good, there are not many guards, how many of you are in the city?"
"Not many, more than three hundred! It's no problem to take down the East Gate. As long as the lieutenant cooperates, it will be easier." The young man said in a deep voice.
Zhang Yongxue had already made up his mind, so he naturally would not hesitate and said, "When will you take action?"
"Half an hour later, by then, the two thousand Tang army troops should go far."
…………
"Report to the general, two thousand Tang troops broke out from the north gate and headed straight north, and our spies were following closely." Sun Zhuang reported urgently, but his tone revealed a sense of excitement and excitement.
.
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "You must find out their traces and make sure they are leaving twenty miles away. In addition, I will give the brothers in Yongxian Town the order to detour eastward, leave a trace and then quickly go south.
In the round, let these two thousand Tang troops go east slowly.”
The guards in the south gate of Siyang County are the most stringent, no one else. Who made him the direction opposite to the Yanzhou Prefecture Army? The other three gates were a little relaxed. But since they learned that the Yanzhou Prefecture Army had no counterattack, the guards were even more relaxed.
.Of course, this is also due to the fact that these four thousand left-behind soldiers are not the original defenders of Siyang City, and they have not adapted to the defense affairs of Siyang City.
"Sir, Master! Why are you free to visit Dongmen today?" Dongmen Ling said with a smile, but his eyes were swaying on more than 400 guards behind him.
Damn, the small school had a city gate commander, and only had two hundred people in his hand, so arrogant. Zhang Yongxue couldn't help but feel angry in his heart by raising the vigilant eyes in the other party's eyes and the posture of slowly gathering hundreds of soldiers behind him.
"Damn it, there are bandits in Yongxian Town, and now there are thousands of people. Who knows if there are any other bandits in Siyang County? This lieutenant came to inspect the defense of the East Gate. What? You have
Opinion? Or, are you connected with the bandits?" Zhang Yongxue said in a colder tone, and then the four hundred soldiers drew their swords. For a moment, some people entering and leaving the east gate suddenly dispersed.
open.
"School... The lieutenant misunderstood! How dare I have an objection? Thank you so hard, I am naturally caught off guard... I am caught off guard!" The city gate said in a trembling voice. He saw the real killing in Zhang Yongxue's eyes.
meaning.
"The first and second teams, go up to the city tower, and the rest, help guard the city gate! We must strictly prevent accidents before the brothers left the city." Zhang Yongxue shouted sternly.
The city gate made me feel something wrong, but I still didn't have the courage to refuse. Although most of the officers in the left-behind army disagreed with Zhang Yongxue, the left-behind captain, the other party was a lieutenant, after all, and a county left-behind. His own superiors could face offenses.
But I was obviously unable to do so at that time. If the other party dealt with, I guess the other party would have waived the crime on the pretext of being executed by the soldiers under his command, which was not respecting the military order.
Just as the city gate was sighing, I felt a flash of white light in front of me, and then a stinging pain in my chest.
"You...you actually..." City Gate Ling looked at the long sword piercing into his chest and the owner of Zhang Yongxue, the other end of the long sword, and was very confused about it. He had already surrendered, so why did he still use this vicious means?
But then, the city gate order had not closed his eyes and saw an incredible plot. Under the city gate, nearly a hundred soldiers were suddenly attacked by the soldiers under Zhang Yongxue and fell to the ground one by one.
The people were also taken aside by Zhang Yongxue.
"What's going on? What does Zhang Yongxue want to do?" The city gate was dead.
"Sir, they are here!" After just dealing with the soldiers guarding the city, the subordinates of the Tang soldiers reported to him. The four hundred people who followed him, three hundred were the soldiers of the palace.
The rest is his only little confidant, and there are only more than a hundred people. He is also his subordinate when he was an officer of the Liangzhou Prefecture.
Zhang Yongxue looked away from the city gate, and a few miles away, a black shadow came straight towards the city gate.
"Cabinets? They actually have so many cavalrymen? I'm afraid there are about two thousand people. No wonder they can transfer the Tang army to run around the ground, but they just can't catch them. So that's it." Looking at the government army getting closer and closer, the army was getting closer and closer.
Zhang Yongxue was shocked. Half of the four thousand people were cavalry, and even the Tang army did not have this proportion. But when he rushed out from here half a month ago, there were only more than a hundred cavalrymen. Unexpectedly, just half a month later
, the cavalry increased to 2,000. It seems that the great western family and clan suffered a great loss. Zhang Yongxue naturally understood that although these war horses were not good horses, they were also considered top-notch horses in Yanzhou.
.And these horses are born out of rich and wealthy families, and they are afraid that no one can raise them outside the clan.
The person who came was not someone else, but Zhao Xun. Because there were people on the city gate tower, a safety sign had been marked out, so they naturally had no scruples. What they needed now was to occupy the city as quickly as possible.
"Zhang Yongxue, a sinner in Siyang County, has seen the general!" Seeing Zhao Xun among the cavalry guards, Zhang Yongxue hurriedly surrendered and said respectfully. He was not convinced by the other party. If he had changed himself, he would have been afraid that he would not have this yet.
Let's have the courage to show up behind enemy lines with thousands of people. Not to mention, it encourages bandits from all over the world to respond, siege the city and break the fort, and the Tang army mobilizes the army to appear.
"Zhang Yongxue, it's the second time I've seen you. Don't worry, I am not a ruthless person. Following me will not treat you badly. Now, the most important thing is to take down Siyang City.
, and asked Captain Zhang to point out where the officers in the city were." Zhao Xun rode on the horse, looked down at Zhang Yongxue, and said with a smile.
"I'm following the order!" Zhang Yongxue breathed a sigh of relief. General Li's eyes made him feel a little stressed. In addition, since the other party accepted him, he let go of his worries. After all, he was
If you surrender to the Tang army first, you will definitely be looked down upon when you return. If you don’t accept it by the chief general, the consequences will be bad.
"Guan Lin, lead the team immediately, head straight to the north gate, blocking the road to escape north by this general. Qin Xiao, lead the team to capture the south gate immediately, and someone is there to pick him up. Li Guochang, you are responsible for the west gate." As soon as you enter the city, you are responsible for the west gate."
At the gate, Zhao Xun waited for a while, and after the subsequent troops entered the city, he immediately ordered.
"Abide by the order!"
"Lu Yu, Zhang Yongxue, go to the county government with me. By the way, can there be supplies in the treasury in the city?" Zhao Xun asked suddenly.
Lu Yu couldn't help but feel funny. It seemed that his general wanted to loot the Siyang County Treasury again.
Zhang Yongxue's face froze and said, "There are only more than a thousand Dan grains and some weapons provided by the Siyang County tribe. The rest were all last time..." Speaking of this, Zhang Yongxue closed his mouth. Of course, the one below was needless to say,
After being looted by the government army last time, Siyang County was still empty. In addition, I also helped you transport all the things you have in Siyang City.
Zhao Xun laughed and said, "It seems that Tang Jun is still too slow to move. I thought I could get something this time."
When Lu Yu entered the county government, the county magistrate Chen Yu and two lieutenants were sitting in the county government hall drinking tea and talking. The conversation was not someone else, but Zhang Yongxue. Because Zhang Yongxue's actions in Siyang City half a month ago
, which caused several original large households in Siyang City to shift their focus to the surrounding towns and forts, and also made the large households in Siyang County dissatisfied. The current county magistrate Chen Yu is naturally one of them. They are plotting together to do so.
When Zhang Yongxue was defeated, Lu Yu led the team to beat them all in one go.
"You... are you Yanzhou Prefecture Army?" After being taken to the county yamen hall, a captain said in horror, looking at the soldiers on both sides and Zhao Xun sitting in the main seat.
"That's right, I am the one you right general wants to chase and suppress. Of course, I am also the one who captured Siyang City half a month ago. I didn't expect that I will attack Siyang City half a month later!" Zhao Xun
Said calmly.
The three of them turned pale and their minds suddenly turned blank.
"You are not in the west..." Chen Yu murmured to himself. The plot in front of him was very different from what he expected. If he knew that the government army would come to Siyang County again, he would not take over as the temporary county magistrate.
I thought it was an opportunity to rise up, but I didn't expect it to be an opportunity to die.
"Do you think Meng Zhao can stop us? Your every move is expected by my general." Guan Lin said disdainfully.
"Zhang Yongxue! It's you! It's you who gave the city!" Chen Yu looked at Zhang Yongxue standing beside him and immediately shouted with hatred.
"It's me, how about it! Damn, I'm the left-behind captain in Siyang County. You said, you take me seriously? A small city gate commander dares to fight against me. Am I still the left-behind captain?
What were you talking about before? You still want to defeat me and kill me! If you are not kind, then I will not be righteous. Besides, this lieutenant is from the Liangzhou Prefecture Army, not the tyrant of the Tang Army. Like you
The people who were willing to use for the Tang army were looted by bandits." Zhang Yongxue said with a hatred.
Zhao Xun said: "Okay, there is no need to talk to them too much, Zhang Yongxue, Lu Yu, you two, to clear out the big families in the city who are determined to walk with the Tang army. Since they are here, they cannot return empty-handed.
The three of them beheaded!"
The three people kneeling in the hall suddenly became soft and no longer had the strength. Chen Yu was even more in a state of despair at this moment. It is true that he was the county magistrate, but he was also a big family in the east of the city who moved to the city. Now,
I'm afraid not only will I die, but I will also have the family.
Zhao Xunke did not be polite to them, and directly let the entire army break the houses of those big clans in the whole city and looted all their wealth.
"General, all four gates are owned by our army, but there are also enemy troops in the city who escaped. I am afraid of the two thousand people in the north of the city..." Lu Yu reported in a deep voice.
"Those two thousand people? We are not afraid!" Guan Lin said with a big laugh. He was also very excited to take down Siyang City again.
Lu Yu said: "They are indeed not afraid, but these two thousand people are on the side, which may affect our army's retreat. After all, we are still carrying a lot of food and supplies this time."
"Guan Lin, Li Guochang, you two immediately took two thousand cavalry under your command to pursue the two thousand soldiers of the Tang army. They are infantrymen, you are cavalrymen, and they are naturally not your opponents. You just need to completely defeat them.
, there is no need to wipe out all."
"Sun Zhuang, Qin Xiao, you two immediately organize people to transport the property we have obtained and leave immediately. I will give you a thousand people, and at the same time, there will be five thousand soldiers going north to support you in the south. Therefore, it should be safe.
As for those refugees in the city who are willing to leave with us, they will also allow them to go south." Zhao Xun ordered in a deep voice.
"Why don't the general evacuate with us? This city is meaningless." Sun Zhuang said in a deep voice.
"It's okay, the cavalry can be returned in two hours, but it takes four days for Meng Zhao to get the news and return. We will stay here to facilitate your departure. The transportation of materials is much more troublesome than the action of the army.
Bar!"
"General, let's stay. Should we create some momentum and give the surrounded bandits a chance?" After everyone left, Lu Yu said in a deep voice.
"Yes, if we stay here, Meng Zhao will retreat. If he doesn't move or continues to go west, then their southern line will be in danger of falling. At that time, he will definitely retreat, and those besieged groups will be trapped.
The bandits also had the opportunity to scatter. After all, keeping them is beneficial to us but not harmful, but it is a trouble for the Tang army. I don’t want them to attack us because of this incident." Zhao Xun
