Chapter 807 Attack Yiyang
Mianchi was able to capture the city, and the Dahua Army quickly occupied it, sent troops to verify the population from house to house, and dissuaded the fleeing officers and soldiers and placed them in a unified manner. Otherwise, these people would be uneasy to wander around and become unfair. Once they were hungry, they would easily commit crimes.
Dahua did not kill surrendered soldiers and treated prisoners with preferential treatment. There was nothing to be afraid of. As soon as the policy was released, the people in the city rushed to tell each other. Soon, deserters hiding in the houses, demolished houses, piled up, and underground, and houses were successively released and accepted the reorganization. Those who were willing to stay continued to join the army. Those who were unwilling to join the army can disband with dry food and go home.
Most of the soldiers chose to stay because of the chaos of war. When they returned to their hometown, they were easily captured by the chaotic army and acted as soldiers. They died inexplicably, and they were not treated as soldiers in the Dahua Army. Moreover, even if they returned home, the land of Henan was affected by war, and they had not cultivated in spring and had no harvest in autumn. The people's houses had very little stock. When they returned, a strong man would definitely not have enough food, so it would be better to be in the army at least not hungry.
"I am willing to join the Dahua army!"
"I do, too!"
The surrendered troops rejoined the army and wore new military uniforms and armor. However, according to the rules, the new army needs to be reorganized for a period of time, re-broken by military discipline, and participate in new training. Otherwise, the mobs will easily affect Dahua's combat effectiveness. If they are defeated in the battle, they will drag down the morale of the elite army.
When Li Jing uses military force, he is more important than his elites, so he would rather let the surrendered soldiers be familiar with them and train them rather than let them be cannon fodder.
"Marson, how should we advance next?"
"Take a big splash and take down Yiyang, then the army of 200,000 will advance to Luoyang City!" Li Jing was wearing armor, nearly fifty years old, calm and generous, and there was a strong confidence in his call.
Mai Jicai said: "General, the last general asks to lead troops to take down Yiyang!"
Li Jing hesitated and asked Xiang Cheng Zhijie: "Who is Commander Yiyang? Who are the generals?"
Cheng Zhijie replied: "The head coach of Yiyang City is King Chu of Zheng State, named Wang Shiwei, and is also a fool. He used to be a blacksmith and never became an official. Now he has become a prince, and he is all proud. As for the generals, there are Pei Renji and his son, Chen Zhiluo and others, and they are also generals of Wagang and the old Sui Dynasty."
"Can General Pei In-ki win over?"
"It's very likely, because when we first left Luoyang, we discussed and found an opportunity to join Dahua and abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but we took one step ahead."
Li Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "No matter how, go to Yiyang immediately before the news has passed, otherwise it will change!"
Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin and others also understood that the news had not reached Yiyang. The defenders did not know the situation here, so that Pei Renji and his son would escape. Otherwise, when the news spread, Wang Shiwei would monitor Pei Renji and his son and would not let them leave the city easily.
"Marson, the last general is willing to follow General Mai to Yiyang and persuade General Pei Renji to surrender, as well as Pei Xingyan, Chen Zhiluo and others to surrender to Dahua."
"Okay, if you can succeed, you will be considered a meritorious service." Li Jing activated Cheng Zhijie and Luo Shixin to go with him, leaving behind Bing Yuanzhen, because the latter was once a regular army general of the Sui Dynasty, guarded Xingluo Cang, and later surrounded by Li Mi and surrendered to the Wagang Army. He was surrounded by Wang Shichong, and surrendered to Wang Shichong, and now he has defected to Dahua again.
"General Bing, this time I started to serve General Dahua. I hope you can persist for a long time and no longer choose a wise leader."
Bing Yuanzhen was a little ashamed and lowered her head and said, "What the Marshal said is that His Majesty Dahua is the real wise ruler. It is also an honor for the last general to abandon the darkness and turn to the light."
Li Jing stroked his beard and said, "What is the current situation in Luoyang? Let me tell me in detail what forces are in power and which ones can be fought for..."
Bing Yuanzhen was once a Sui general and stayed in Luoyang for a long time. He also knew a lot about the nobles of Luoyang. He knew more than Luo Shixin and others.

Yiyang City.
This place was the earliest capital of South Korea during the Warring States Period. After Han Jinghou moved the capital from Yiyang to Yangdi, he established a county in Yiyang.
There have always been iron ore in Yiyang area, and the Warring States Period was known as the powerful Koreans because the princes of the South made weapons and crossbows, and they were a little famous among the seven heroes.
However, after entering the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the counties here gradually declined, and Yiyang City had already lost its original glory and became a small local city.
Mai Jicai, Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin and others swept in a vast way with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
"Run!" Mai Jicai let out a long roar and the cavalry rushed forward.
The war horses neighed and the sound of hooves were loud, and thousands of horses charged together. On the flat ground, the cavalry's advantages were fully utilized, and the momentum was enough to overwhelm.
The guards on the top of the city found the galloping horses of Dahua cavalry and the infantry formations that were constantly rushing from behind. They were panicked and blew the horns.
The city began to take action and prepared to fight.
However, the Dahua army did not attack the city, but set up a square formation outside the city to offer to fight the Zheng army and go out to fight.
"Dahua fights again, do you think I will go out of the city to fight easily?" Wang Shiwei learned the news and came to the city tower and saw the neat Dahua Legion. He was a little worried, but with the advantage of the city, he did not want to go out of the city to fight the enemy for the time being.
At this time, Pei Renji and his son brought people over and said, "Report to the commander, since Dahua comes to challenge the enemy, our army is afraid of being afraid to face the enemy for a long time. I am afraid that morale will inevitably have some influence. The enemy's efforts are originally done, so it is better to let the last general lead the troops out of the city. After a while, the Dahua army will be brave enough to be invincible. Maybe we can kill several Dahua generals and directly kill the enemy."
Wang Shiwei had never been a commander, so he had no idea. He had heard of the reputation of Pei Renji and his son, so he thought it would be better to send them out to meet the enemy and test the strength of the enemy. If it was true that he would retreat from the Dahua army as Pei Renji said, he would be exempted from this battle.
"Okay, Pei Renji, Pei Xingyan, I sent your father and son to order 10,000 troops out of the city to fight against the Dahua army. If you lose, you can withdraw quickly!"
"Here!" After Pei Renji and others clasped their fists, they were secretly happy.
