Chapter sixty-ninth
"Don't retreat, don't retreat! We are not defeated yet!" Pang Xi stood on the city tower, holding a sword, and killed three escaped soldiers in a row.
But the situation was hopeless, and the morale of the Shu army was not high. As Dian Wei led his army to kill the city tower, it became even more sluggish. Even if Pang Xi ordered his personal guards to kill the fugitive army, it could not stop the collapse of the Shu army.
Pang Xi grabbed a general and roared: "Why do you want to retreat!"
"General, I..." The general wanted to say something, but Pang Xi's sword had already pierced his chest and abdomen.
"Why should you retreat! Why should you retreat!" Pang Xi stabbed the general's chest and abdomen with a crazy sword. The blood and the minced flesh of the internal organs had already been covered with him, but he had no idea. He was crazy and stabbed the general's chest and abdomen into blood and blood.
Seeing this, the generals around hid further.
"Pang Yilang, is it too ugly?" When Ye Zhao was escorting up the city wall under Ji Ling's guard, he saw Pang Xi chasing several generals and chopping them, swinging his sword to hold Pang Xi's sword, and helping the generals in Shu to block them, frowned and said, "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, how can we blame the soldiers all?"
"Ye Zhao!!" Pang Xi looked at Ye Zhao and gritted his teeth and said, "You are just a good family. What qualifications are you to dominate Shu!"
"Facts are better than words. I forgot to tell you that I have received a letter from Chengdu. Chengdu has been broken, and the old emperor has admitted defeat!" Ye Zhao smiled and looked at the Shu army soldiers around him, and said with a gentle voice: "At this point, you have no reason to be an enemy of me again. If you are willing to surrender, you can remove your weapons. If you don't want to, you can also remove your armor and return to the field. This general will never be able to keep it."
"Ye Hou Renyi, we are willing to surrender!" The generals around were chased by Pang Xi, and they had long been resentful in their hearts. Now they heard that Cheng/ has been broken. No matter whether it is true or false, they knelt down and asked to surrender.
"Why... the thief who is on his back will have the face to live in the world!" Seeing this scene, Pang Xi was so angry that his whole body trembled, he roared angrily, and raised his sword and wanted to chop again.
"Random!" Ye Zhao snorted coldly, and the Longyuan sword came out, but saw a white light flashing like a clever light. Pang Xi's sword broke in his hand. Ye Zhao pressed the sword against Pang Xi's throat and said coldly: "At this moment, these people are my soldiers, how can you kill them at will? The situation is over, and when will you not surrender?"
"I am a famous family, how can I serve you?" Pang Xi sneered, and pounced forward in Ye Zhao's astonished gaze. He actually directly hit his throat on Ye Zhao's sword, allowing the sword to pierce his neck, and a trace of ferocious smile appeared on his face, and he died of anger.
"It's not to change!" Ye Zhao took back his sword, wiped the sword's edge over his clothes, and snorted coldly. Such people who would rather die with the glory of the past but would not accept reality are not worthy of his admiration.
"Lord, the city has been controlled! Most of the Shu soldiers in the city surrendered, and only the Qingqiang warrior rushed out of the city and fled into the mountains and forests. It is hard for us to chase after him." Ji Ling came to Ye Zhao and bowed.
"Source our troops to support Chengdu/Du immediately. No matter whether Zhao Wei and Ren Qi have started to attack the city, don't show mercy and attack directly! Take advantage of the situation to capture Jianwei, remember..." Ye Zhao returned to the sword and looked at Ji Ling, and said in a sequel: "Anyone who involves this gentry, no matter who is, will be killed without mercy!"
Chengdu/du means that he has taken over most of the plains in Shu. Liu Yan did not distribute the land seized from the aristocratic family to his subordinates but to the people. This is a trick, but it is not perfect. Ye Zhao is preparing to make up for this, but to do this, the land in the Chengdu/du area seized by Liu Yan is far from enough.
"Here!" Ji Ling bowed.
"I will linger here for some time to calm the morale of the army. I don't want these people to be alive until I arrive at the capital!"
When talking about the last sentence, Ye Zhao's expression was a bit cold. Ye Zhao believed that most of these gentry families were innocent, but he needed land. If he arrived at Chengdu, Ye Zhao believed that those people would be very conscious of the current affairs. At that time, if Ye Zhao wanted to get land from them again, it would easily arouse public anger. Therefore, this matter must be completed before he arrived at Chengdu. If he wanted to govern Shu, he also needed some benevolence and righteousness. This matter cannot be done by
He did it, Zhang Liao was not worth enough, and Guan Hai could not understand his intentions. Only Ji Ling had this ability and thoughts. Moreover, after this battle, Ji Ling had to be transferred to Hanzhong to guard and could not come back in a short period of time, otherwise it would cause a rebound. Shuzhong was settled and needed stability, but Ye Zhao could not kill the general who obeyed the orders, which would only make people feel cold. Therefore, Ye Zhao had already decided in his heart that after this battle, he would transfer Ji Ling to Hanzhong to guard and Xu Rong and Zhao Yun to Chengdu.
Ji Ling felt a stern in her heart, bowed and agreed, turned around and left.
Ye Zhao took Dian Wei and Guan Hai began to appease the soldiers and civilians of Luo County. In addition to death and escape, there were 7,000 surrendered Shu troops in Luo County. The emotions of these people needed to be appeased. Ye Zhao ordered people to incorporate them, and then pronounced the people to restorate the soldiers and ordered the remaining soldiers to enter the city to help the people repair the houses that were damaged by the war. In addition, the generals of the traditional Chinese medicine craftsmen sent to treat the wounded. After the war, many things needed to be dealt with, and Ye Zhao stayed naturally.
After stabilizing the city in Chengdu, Zhang Liao left 500 soldiers to maintain the city's security and led his own troops to the city wall to assist in defense.
Zhao Wei and Ren Qi rushed to attack Chengdu for one day, losing a lot of people. Seeing that Chengdu was about to break through, he was only one step away from being able to seize the city before Ye Zhao. Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao suddenly came out and took advantage of the emptiness of Chengdu and broke through the city one step ahead of them. How could he let go?
Seeing that Zhang Liao had a small number of troops, Zhao Wei came up with a plan and asked Ren Qi to withdraw his troops for the time being. He went to the city gate and asked the chief general in the city to come out and speak.
"I am Zhao Wei, the lord, who is the leader of the army. Can you come out for a while?" Zhao Wei came to the city and shouted to the soldiers on the city wall.
Wu Da walked up under the protection of two shield hands, looked down at Zhao Wei and Ren Qi not far behind him, and frowned. Zhao Wei was obedient under Ye Zhao's command before, and he had seen him, and immediately bowed: "The last general Wu Da, have you seen Zhao Shenjun!"
"It turns out to be a general of war. I wonder who the chief general in the city is?" Zhao Wei did not recognize Wuda, but he knew all the heavy generals under Ye Zhao's command. Ye Zhao could not find a young general to lead the attack on such a sudden incident.
"The main general is General Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan!" Wu Da hesitated for a moment and frowned and said, "Chengdu has been taken over by our army. Why did the army join the army attack each other?"
"Misunderstanding!" Zhao Wei quickly smiled and said, "I am on the order of my lord to go to Jianwei to persuade the prefect of Jianwei to lead the army to attack Liu Yan. I didn't know that the lord's army had arrived here, but I saw the lord's flag, so I hurriedly stopped the troops and came to inquire."
Zhang Liao was a young general under Ye Zhao's command. He was not famous, but he was very talented. Zhao Wei had seen him several times, but he did not expect such an important war. Ye Zhao actually sent a young general to lead the army. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart and smiled and said, "Can you ask General Zhang Wenyuan to come out for a while?"
Wu Da nodded and said, "Join the army and wait a moment, the general has sent someone to spread the news."
"Brother Junnian, what is this?" Ren Qi saw that Wu Da left, and the soldiers on the city had no intention of attacking, so he hurriedly came to Zhao Wei and asked in a low voice.
"Chengdu is high, the bandits break through the city, and the morale is strong. Moreover, Ye Zhao's troops are extremely strong, and the losses will be heavy in attack. It is better to deceive him to open the city and let us enter the city. It is not too late to make an attack after we enter the city." Zhao Wei whispered.
"My dear." Ren Qi nodded and smiled after hearing this, "But who is that Zhang Liao? Will he open the city?"
"However, a young general under Ye Zhao's command has good martial arts skills, but he is young and shallow, so he must be a very enthusiastic person, and there is no need to worry about it!" Zhao Wei said confidently.
Soon, Zhang Liao followed Wu Da and saw Zhao Wei under the city. He politely said: "Zhang Liao, I have met Zhao Shenjun."
"I haven't seen each other for a few days. I don't expect that Wen Yuan has already led the army alone. With such merits, Wen Yuan will definitely have a bright future in the future!" Zhao Wei did not mention the matter of opening the city gate first, but just greeted with a smile on his face.
"Zhao Shenjun praised the fact that the last general was just ordered to act and did not dare to be greedy for merit." Zhang Liao said calmly: "Now that the Chengdu has been broken, the army can lead the troops to retreat to Jianwei. After the lord arrives at Chengdu, the reward will be given to the lord. The last general will explain the merits of joining the lord. If we had not joined the army, we would not have broken the city so easily."
Zhao Wei nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, General Wenyuan, but the soldiers in the army have been exhausted after attacking the city for several days. I wonder if they can let the soldiers enter the city to rest first, which can also help Wenyuan stabilize the people's hearts."
"The lord has an order. After the city is broken, no one is allowed to enter without permission. Those who violate the order will be killed!" Zhang Liao said decisively.
"Didn't you hear that the general is outside and the military orders are not accepted!" Zhao Wei laughed and said, "The lord will definitely not expect that the lord will be taken down so easily. These are the gentry in Shu who generously sent people to help him when he heard the lord's name. Now that he helped the lord break the city, he was rejected. Wouldn't it disappoint the gentry in Shu be disappointed? I know that the lord has no intention, but the gentry in Shu only thinks that the lord has all the birds and bows. Isn't it beautiful? It's better to be compatible and let the soldiers enter the city to rest?"
"The last general is a soldier, and he only knows how to act on orders. If the lord blames the blame in the future, the lord will bear it. But today, before the lord comes to Chengdu/du, no one will be allowed to enter without permission!" Zhang Liao said coldly: "Don't worry about joining the army. I have sent someone to inform the lord. At this moment, the lord should have received the news. When the lord arrives, the lord will join the army and talk about the lord!"
"Wenyuan really doesn't want to be able to be harmonious?" Zhao Wei was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that Zhang Liao's movements were so fast. If he went to Luo County, he could go back and forth in one day. If Ye Zhao used this as an excuse to break Luo County, even if the army did not rush to reach Cheng/du in five days, then everything they had done before would be really a wedding dress for Ye Zhao.
"Without the lord's military order, no one is allowed to enter without arbitrary!" Zhang Liao said coldly.
Seeing that Zhang Liao was not in trouble, Zhao Wei snorted coldly: "I just hope that the lord will blame him in the future, and the general will be able to bear the anger of the heroes in Shu!"
