Chapter 53: Stepping on solid footsteps
The fat man arrived at the city gate of Longzhou and the soldiers wanted to block it. The fat man said only one sentence and immediately became a guest of honor.
The fat man said, "My name is Liu Lang, and my son's name is Liu An."
Is this sentence enough?
Enough.
When Liu Lang entered the city, he received a letter from Liu An. It can be said that he lost all his money and borrowed a lot of money. He then organized nearly a hundred small and medium-sized businessmen to come here.
The chief general of the rear army met Liu Lang, after all, he was Liu An's father, so he had to give him this face.
But Liu Lang's next sentence became the nobleman of the entire city.
Liu Lang said: "Collapse of horse skin, broken knife, broken arrow, horse bone..."
There is nothing that Liu Lang doesn’t want to accept.
"Old man, I'll prepare wine." The commander of the army in the army emptyed out the former Longzhou City Lord's Mansion for Liu Lang. This is a distinguished guest.
Liu Lang glanced at his shopkeeper and the small and medium-sized businessmen who followed him, and said lightly: "You guys, go and do your business well, don't let the sweaty and bloody soldiers feel heartbroken. I'll talk about something big."
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, you can't worry, there are no mistakes here."
A group of small and medium-sized businessmen worshipped in their hearts.
It's worthy of being someone in the court.
When we arrive here, we will be greeted by the general in person and live in the city guard's mansion. What is this identity?
Moreover, the profit of collecting these miscellaneous items is very, very large.
Horse skin is extremely cheap here, you can transport it back and get it several times the profit.
After Liu Lang arrived, he had just moved into the city to guard the palace. There was a letter left by Liu An here, which was kept by the general of the rear army. After Liu Lang read it, he did not stop at all. He immediately summoned the most reliable people, brought valuable items such as gold and silver, and went straight to Xiazhou.
A few days later, the city of Xiazhou.
The Uz soldiers and the Six Valley soldiers, a total of 100,000.
The real number of the four generals' coalition forces is 150,000, so it is called 530,000 coalition forces.
Li Jiqian's head was picked up on the flagpole, and the Song army was persuading to surrender.
Of course, it’s not just talking to persuade people.
In the Song Dynasty, there were six infantry formations, all of which were the elite among the imperial guards. The first row of heavy shields, the second to fourth rows of heavy armor, and then the back formation of spears, heavy crossbows, and long swords.
A lieutenant waved the flag in front of the formation.
kill!
The six infantry troops took a neat step forward.
kill!
Step forward one more time.
Immediately afterwards, the catapult, the long bow formation, the long crossbow formation, and the cavalry formation, all moving forward together.
Behind the army was a demonstration, and several loud voices from the Song army under the city were persuading surrender.
Yang Yanzhao asked Liu An: "Can you surrender? They still have the power to fight. After this battle, our army will lose at least 60,000 yuan. If Xiazhou City resists fiercely, it is possible to have 100,000 yuan. Such a huge loss of war, can you explain it when you go back?"
Liu An said: "They will surrender, because Li Jiqian will benefit every time he faked surrender. And this time we declare that we will only kill the three tribes of Li Jiqian, and the rest will not be violated."
Yang Yanzhao nodded: "It seems that he was the one who harmed him."
Suddenly, chaos began to begin in Xiazhou City, and internal strife.
The movement in the city came out, and Yang Yanzhao's tense face relaxed: "It's done."
Liu An said, "General Yang, see what I said. Li Jiqian is a talented person. When the late emperor took the Li clan and transported it to Bianliang, Li Jiqian fled and then continued to take the daughter of the powerful clan as his wife and concubine. When he died, as long as his son died, Dangxiang would not be able to make trouble."
Yang Yanzhao nodded, he thought Liu An was right.
Liu An continued: "Then, we support some spokespersons to prevent the powerful clans of Dangxiang from uniting. Gradually, Dangxiang is part of my territory of the Song Dynasty. At present, there is only one big trouble."
"What a big trouble?" Yang Yanzhao turned his head.
Liu An stretched out two fingers: "It should be said that there are two, one is the reward from the soldiers. The other is how to explain it to the official family, so I need General Yang to write a letter, and Kou Gong comes forward."
"No problem." Yang Yanzhao said in his heart that he was willing to help Liu An with all his strength in taking down Dangxiang.
At this time, in the central army, Liu Lang heard a captain beside him telling him that the Dangxiang people had surrendered.
He immediately shouted at the people around him as if he had been injected with chicken blood: "Hurry, hurry, move me."
Who entered the city first?
The first wave of entering the city was a thousand light cavalry, then three thousand shield swords and soldiers. Next, the crossbow soldiers entered the city to occupy the high places in the city to intimidate the surrendered army.
But in fact, the third wave of entering the city was more than a thousand civilians carrying more than 300 empty carriages.
Liu Lang, every time he took a step, the ground was vibrating.
Stepping on solid steps, Liu Lang rushed into the city.
Yang Yanzhao, who was riding a horse with Liu An to prepare to enter the city, saw it and turned his head a little embarrassedly. He saw that it was Liu Lang, Liu An's father.
Liu An touched his chin: "It seems that money is really a good thing. It can make a person with a waist length that is longer than the length of pants and weighing nearly two stones so light as if he is as light as a dance. Look at his flexible figure, it is amazing."
Yang Yanzhao began to suspect that Liu An was not picked up by Liu Lang.
The army entered the city one after another and took over the city defense. Liu An didn't need to worry about these things.
But there are no ones who have entered the city.
For example, Cao Wei and Zhe Weichang, they led their troops north to recruit the other Dangxiang cities. Since the royal city has been surrendered, if you do not surrender, I can attack them.
Shi Baoji went south and wanted to snatch those cities around Dangxiang and several prefectures and cities that Dangxiang occupied the Song Dynasty.
Now that Liu An has not ordered to withdraw his troops, they plan to set off quickly before Liu An came to his senses. It would be a pity if he would withdraw his troops at this time.
Yang Yanzhao's mission is to take charge of the central army and support at any time.
At the same time, we must also stabilize Liu An.
It’s not a big mistake for the Four Generals to use this kind of thought. The Song Dynasty has been more than once, and when the battle reaches the critical moment, a civil servant will stop it.
And more than once, civil officials killed military generals.
Pan Mei took the blame for Yang Ye's death, which was done by civil servants and military supervisors.
So Yang Yanzhao kept talking with Liu An, discussing how to govern Xiazhou and how to manage Dangxiang people.
This was not something he, a military officer, was simply to prevent Liu An from withdrawing his troops at this time.
When Liu An and Yang Yanzhao entered the city.
In Xiazhou City, Dangxiang Palace.
Several soldiers saw that there seemed to be gold on the pillar and were about to use a knife to pry it, but they heard a loud shout: "Stop, you prodigal son."
The soldier turned around and saw something hit him in the face. He almost avoided it before he could see clearly that it turned out to be a roast lamb leg.
"Look, I'm hungry." Liu Lang bit the leg of the lamb in his hand fiercely, then pointed the leg of the lamb around and shouted: "You prodigal sons, you can't even get rid of a piece of wall here. You know, this palace was neatly demolished. Go back to Bianliang City to build a Zuixianju branch as it is, which is much more valuable than prying a few pieces of gold skin, and they are all pig's brains."
genius!
