The battle in Hengshan City ended soon.

The soldiers entering the city began to clear away the remaining enemies and took over the warehouses of the Xiliang army in the city.

Zhao Xu arrived at the north gate again and observed the battle outside the city with Chang Wei.

The Xiliang soldiers who fled in panic obviously did not expect that there were soldiers from the King of Yan here, and were caught off guard.

Faced with the cavalry's rampage, a large number of Western Liang soldiers surrendered.

As for the stubborn soldiers, the soldiers of the royal palace naturally did not leave any remaining hands, and the sword in their hands waved towards them.

However, there were still a small number of Western Liang cavalry who escaped from the ambush circle.

The battle lasts from morning to noon.

At this time, Bai Shang, who was in charge of the ambush, escorted a general from Xiliang into Hengshan City.

"Your Highness, this person is Ye Renrong, the deputy leader of Xiliang." Bai Shang said with his fists.

Two soldiers pushed the embarrassed Ye Renrong to Zhao Xu and pressed him to the ground.

Zhao Xu has never heard of this name.

However, Chang Wei laughed. He fought with Ye Renrong when he was fighting with Xiliang.

In the Xiliang army, Ye Renrong was still a smart general.

At that time, the Dasong Imperial Guard suffered a lot under his command.

I didn't expect that he would catch him so easily now.

He said to Zhao Xu: "Your Highness, this person is a brave general under Murong Wuji's command."

Ye Renrong raised his head at this time, his eyes were fierce, and he stared at Zhao Xu, "Are you the King of Yan?"

Zhao Xuyi was not afraid, and he said coldly: "That's right, I am the King of Yan."

"Haha, you have some skills, but it's a pity that you can't take back Jinzhou in the end. My Xiliang army will definitely make you come and go." Ye Renrong shouted.

Zhao Xu's lips raised, and at that time there was a king's contemptuous smile.

The weak will be angry with a few words, but the strong will only disdain.

He said lightly: "Is that true? Since that's the case, I won't kill you anymore. Keep it and wait until Murong Wuji is captured and let you two kneel in front of me together."

"Dream in the daytime!" Ye Renrong shouted.

Zhao Xu was too lazy to argue with him, so he waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take him down.

At this time, Chang Wei looked at King Yan. The words of King Yan just now were really domineering, which made him excited.

He said: "Your Highness, now that Hengshan County has taken over, there is Xincheng in Xin County. If you take over there, you can go straight to Jincheng."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly and said, "But if you lose Hengshan County, Xiliang will definitely be angry. The next war will probably be even more cruel."

After pausing, he continued: "And there are two county towns on the road from Xincheng to Jincheng, and these two county towns must be conquered."

In ancient times, wars were often conquered by one city and one city.

He can't break out of this rule either.

The reason is that each city is a fortress and granary.

If you capture the city and continue to march, it means that the food supply has been shortened.

If you don't fight, bypass the enemy's occupied cities and attack the farther city.

This becomes a checker, which is equivalent to the point in the middle being broken.

At that time, once the enemy in the middle city cuts off the food channel or attacks on both sides, it will be very uncomfortable.

There are many cases of dumplings being wrapped in history because they bypassed the enemy city.

Chang Wei nodded when he remembered the distribution of cities on the sand table.

The war in Jinzhou cannot be rushed if he is anxious.

The two continued to discuss.

It was decided to clean the battlefield first, and at the same time, let the followers transport the food and supplies to the granary in the city.

Finally, consolidate the defense of Hengshan City.

After all, now it has become a bridgehead for war like Feihu Pass.

By taking this step forward, they will continue to jump to the next step.

In the evening, Chang Wei told him the data on the battlefield.

"Your Highness, in this war, 6,621 soldiers in Xiliang were killed and 9,100 were injured. There were 23,206 soldiers in Xiliang who surrendered. The remaining Xiliang rushed out of the encirclement and fled. According to the captured Xiliang general, there were more than 42,000 people in the city, mainly to hit the emperor's son." Chang Wei said.

Zhao Xu was very satisfied with this number.

Basically, the army led by Ye Renrong was defeated in this battle.

But to his regret, Nori seems to be mainly led by Ergou Sect, who is like the one who runs into the throne.

"If the surrender and hit the son, the soldiers who were in the camp will be dealt with according to the law, and the Xiliang soldiers will be escorted to Yanzhou and sent to the mine to mine." Zhao Xu said.

Chang Wei responded and continued, "Your Highness, there is one more thing. There are many people in Hengshan City, and there are also some local tyrants who are accomplices of tigers. What should they do?"

Zhao Xu frowned, "Don't disturb the people in the city, the evil tyrants will be executed as a tyrant."

For him, it was useless for these noble families to stay.

They represent Dasong's stubborn conservative forces and a community of interests that hinder progress, and will definitely be enemies of themselves in the future.

In fact, when the Yuan family rebelled, he realized this problem.

The government orders that beat the rich and the people who share the land and acres have certainly won the hearts of the people.

But this seriously hurts the interests of local tyrants.

That's why they gave up on the rebellion with the Yuan family and wanted to get rid of him.

However, as he is now in the four northern counties day by day, he has become the one who has the last laugh.

After that, it became natural for him to promote Yan County's policy in the entire North Four counties.

Of course, he has measured which one to choose when it comes to the opposite side of the wealthy family.

After thinking about it, he still chose to stand opposite them.

Of course, just like the Yuan family, he can win over the rich and safeguard the interests of the rich and he can make himself seem compatible with Dasong and have fewer enemies.

But this is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. The nature of the wealthy family who do everything they can to make profits will not change.

Moreover, when facing the powerful clan, they are naturally weak and are extremely prone to surrender to the powerful clan.

If he adopted the strategy of using the powerful clan, he would be afraid that his iron-making and cannon-making techniques would be used as wedding dresses for the powerful clan.

Maybe all the troops under your command can be directly rebelled.

And now, he chose the poor people who were opposed to the powerful and powerful people.

In order not to return to the dark age of enslaved by the powerful clans, they must be united by his side.

Even at this price, he may one day become the public enemy of the Dasongshi clan and the tyrant clan.

Therefore, since you have chosen one side, you must firmly stand your own position.

When facing a wealthy family, you must not be merciful.

Of course, he wouldn't kill him with one stick.

This is undoubtedly another extreme. He will also make a fuss about the kind and kind family whom the people think are good.

After making this decision, Zhao Xu asked Chang Wei to leave.

Thinking about the next strategy yourself.

This time, Xiliang will definitely be vigilant and strengthen the defense of the city on the road to Jincheng.

He is especially wary of night attacks, which will weaken the advantage of the soldiers in the royal palace marching at night.

So, he must find a way to maintain this advantage.
