Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1072 Separating the North and the South
The Beizhou defenders actually struggled and hesitated for a few days.

After the deadline set by Lu Huaizhong, Lao Lu had no hesitation and ordered a fierce attack.

The master of Xiangwei Erzhou died all over the place, and more than 200 people were beheaded for fleeing. Then the defenders couldn't stand it anymore, and opened the city to beg for surrender.

Lu Huaizhong didn't have a good look on them, and ordered all the officers above the top of the team to be executed on the spot, which immediately attracted a lot of grievances.

"What does Lu Du mean? Didn't you allow me to wait for surrender?"

"Lu Huaizhong, you're fattening yourself, you can't die!"

"Haha, with a crowd of [-], you lied to me and waited for surrender, and then you regret it. Is this the only thing you can do to kill people?"

"You start with this, and you will end with it. Lu Huaizhong, when Shao Shude kills your entire clan in the future, I hope you won't regret it."

"Everyone in Weibo and Wu has seen it clearly! The people of Xia want to kill us all, are you going to surrender?"

Lu Huaizhong sneered, and said: "If I want to kill people, I will make people die clearly. If it falls on the 25th, everyone will be safe, but it will be delayed for another three days. It will only hurt people's lives and have to be killed. Can you wait? "

"I don't accept it!" "I'm wronged!" "I knew I would fight you!"

"Let's do it!" Lu Huaizhong ordered without any hesitation.

The sergeants all stepped forward, stabbing with rifles and spears.The Beizhou Military Academy, who was kneeling on the ground, screamed again and again, and fell silent after a while.

Another auxiliary soldier stepped forward, beheaded everyone's head, and hung them at the top of the city.

The remaining three thousand Beizhou soldiers were trembling, not knowing what fate awaited them.

"Send all of them to Luoyang to repair the palace city." Lu Huaizhong ordered.

Not sure whether it was disappointment or luck, the three thousand shellfish did not resist, and were gathered together indifferently.

Most of them are native villagers. According to Xia Jun's previous rules, they can be dismissed, but they obviously did not enjoy this treatment.

After nightfall, the snow drifted again.Lu Huaizhong, surrounded by his own soldiers, entered Beizhou Yacheng.

The city has accumulated a lot of supplies and provisions.In fact, there are also outer cities. After a rough count, there are probably more than [-] Dendrobium in the inner and outer cities.

In addition, more than 20 war horses, [-] coins, more than [-] pieces of silk of various colors, [-] bundles of arrows, and more than [-] battles were seized.

In fact, if the whole city makes a lot of money, it is estimated that more money can be obtained.But after the battle was over, Lu Huaizhong became a little kinder again, and didn't want to make any more sins.

"Register money, grain and property, and report it to Your Highness." Lu Huaizhong dictated the order on the spot, and began to record with the army.

The so-called "reporting" is actually a subtle invitation to reward.It's almost New Year's Eve, and the sergeants are still fighting outside.

"Except for the horses, all the livestock that were obtained in the sheep and horse wall before were slaughtered, and the whole army was slaughtered."

"Send troops to escort the messengers to Zhangnan and other counties, and make them surrender. Don't make mistakes."

"Send troops to patrol the countryside, and if anyone dares to make trouble, kill them immediately."

"Decree that each camp shall not plunder the people, shall not rape women, shall not kill at will, and those who disobey the order shall be beheaded."

"Screen out the Beizhou generals and officials, and send them after the recording."

A series of orders were quickly conveyed.

All the battalions of the Wuwei Army marched into the city, and some of the generals who had already entered the city gave way to the camp area and stationed in the west of the city.The cavalry brigade was still in the field, so they were recalled together and stationed in the north of the city.

At the same time, Lu Huaizhong gave orders to Wuzang Jieming, Wang Jiao and others, and the armies gathered alternately to prevent the thieves from raiding during the New Year - King Xia, but he had played this trick.

The news that Beizhou Yacheng was breached quickly reached Weizhou.

It's not that Wei Jun's reconnaissance ability is strong, but that Xia Jun himself made a big announcement so that he could recruit and surrender the surrounding counties as soon as possible.

The Wei Bo shogunate was also a broken house that leaked everywhere. The news leaked on the same day, and the whole town was shocked for a while.

The Chengde army stationed in Chanzhou fled.

Cang Jingbing suffered a big loss before, the main general Zhou Sheng was beheaded, and the remaining [-] people were smashed into Qingping County.When I got the news, I wanted to leave without saying goodbye.Fortunately, Shi Renyu, the general of Linqing Town, was very decisive and immediately sent people to the Cang Barracks to appease him.

But no matter what, it is a fact that Wei Bo's situation has deteriorated again, everyone is downcast, and even the upcoming New Year is not very interesting.

Luo Shaowei summoned Sikong Bing and Yang Li, two confidant advisers.

Originally, he only wanted to talk to Sikong Bing alone, because Sikong Sima was very talented, he had something to say, he came up with a lot of tricks, and he always hit the key point, so he was much better than Yang Li.However, considering that after returning from his mission to Weizhou last time, Yang Li secretly reported that Shao Shude and Sikong Bing had a good conversation, or that there might be problems, Luo Shaowei was finally affected, so he summoned both of them to discuss countermeasures.

"Shi Renyu held a heavy army, but he couldn't move forward. He was still unable to break through the bandit army's defense line and communicate with Beizhou, which resulted in this defeat. Commander, please dismiss Shi Renyu from his post as the head of the capital, and appoint Cheng Gongzuo as the general." Sikong Bing Before coming here, he had prepared a draft, and at this time he was confident and talking, Luo Shaowei nodded slightly when he heard it.

Yang Li was a little jealous.He is the secretary in charge of Jiedu, and he seems to be closer to Jieshuai, but Sikong Bing is a marching commander and holds real power. At the same time, Luo Shaowei repeatedly asks him for advice, almost marginalizing him, which is really troublesome.

Seeing Sikong Bing open his mouth at this time, he immediately sang the opposite tune: "Commander, you can't! General Shi is a senior general in the army, and his prestige is well known, so he can't be lightly moved. What is Sima Sikong's idea? He wants to harm Wei Bo A hundred-year plan?"

Sikong Bing didn't argue, he just bowed his hands to Luo Shaowei and stopped talking.

Luo Shaowei smiled wryly and sighed: "I won't talk about it beforehand. But for one thing, Li Ke decided to suspend the dispatch of troops on the grounds that the Jin army was newly defeated and needed to be rectified, and watched the town and the Xia people fight."

Sikong Bing and Yang Li frowned at the same time.

Luo Shaowei waited silently for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you two talk? Will you plan to come out?"

Sikong Bing took a deep breath, and was about to speak, but Yang Li answered first: "Marshal, there is no good strategy for the current plan. There is only one, send people to the counties to publicize, Xia Bing is brutal and wants to kill Wei Bowu was a man who harmed the people of the states. Shude spent a lot of money on ruling the palace in Luoyang, and wanted to collect all of Wei Bo's wealth to strengthen the treasury. Also, Shude hated Wei Bo's strong men very much, and ordered the prohibition of recruiting Wei soldiers. So , or it can boost morale and inspire the soldiers of the states to fight to the death."

When Luo Shaowei heard it, he was both relieved and - disappointed.

Yang Li's position was very steady, he was really thinking about Wei Bozhen, he could see it.

This is actually quite normal.His family has been rooted in Wei Bo in all dynasties, married with the local general school, and has deep roots.With Wei Bozhen here, their family's interests can be preserved. Without Wei Bo, it is hard to say, and there is a high probability that the family will decline.

"Marshal, this is the end of the matter, what should be worried more is that someone will use this to make a fuss and incite the sergeant to make trouble." Sikong Bing suddenly reminded.

"Why is this?" Luo Shaowei was shocked: "It's all this time, and there are still people so unwise?"

After he finished speaking, he thought again.

In fact, this shitty handsome, he doesn't want to be a bit anymore, Nima is a scapegoat.

If Wei Bo Town is destroyed, he will not be able to escape; if Wei Bo Town is not destroyed, it must be a general who has made extraordinary achievements and defeated Xia Jun, and he will not be able to escape either.

If he still had nostalgia for the position of Jiedushi before, now as the battlefield situation is gradually collapsing, he feels more and more that this position is very pitiful, and he wants to get rid of it.

"You have to be on guard, Commander." Sikong Bing said sincerely: "Sikong Jianba has received great kindness for me, and I can't repay it. At this time of crisis, I am willing to go to the Owl's Nest to relieve the Commander." this danger."

"If there is a crisis, how to solve it?" Luo Shaowei asked.

"Persuade Shude to retreat." Sikong Bing said.

Yang Li wanted to laugh, and was about to sneer, but Luo Shaowei was overjoyed, and said: "Then let's go quickly, sooner rather than later."

"Of order." Sikong Bing replied.

Yang Li was stunned, and then felt a chill in his heart, even a little sad and angry.

When Lu Huaizhong captured Beizhou Yacheng, Shao Shude had already arrived at Heyang South City with his silver saddle, and Mang Mountain was already in sight.

When I left, I didn't receive the news of the capture of Beizhou, and I was a little disappointed.

Fortunately, Lao Lu finally lived up to his expectations and won it in the end, which made him very happy.The sage has given such a big official, if there is no achievement, his face will be dull.

But then again.In the past year, he defeated Yang Xingmi and won most of the two prefectures of Xu and Si; he defeated Li Keyong again and occupied the three prefectures of Xingmingci;

He won six states in one year, and they were still stubborn enemies, but the results were not small.He can fully bear the titles given by the saints.

"Old Lu fought vigorously and resolutely, and it won my heart." General Shao Shude handed the report to Xie Tong and said.

Xie Tong did not dare to offend such important generals as Lu Huaizhong again. He heard the words and congratulated: "General Lu will use his troops decisively, resolutely, bravely and diligently, and congratulations to His Highness."

"Good news is coming from everywhere. In this world, I can't get out of my control." Shao Shude laughed and said, "Beizhou will cut off the north-south traffic, and Chengde Town will be blocked. Then we can slowly concoct Wei and Bo. , Chanzhou."

In this battle, if Bozhou and Chanzhou were won first, the shock to Weibo would definitely not be as great as the fall of Beizhou.

Not only is Bay State more populous and affluent, but also because of the psychological blow.

Before the fall of Beizhou, the people of Wei Bowu could still communicate with each other, and felt that reinforcements were coming soon, so they could escape to Jizhou themselves.But now, Weibo town is almost surrounded by others, in a situation of isolation and helplessness, how can we not hesitate?How not to be afraid?
Of course, they can also count on Cang Jing.

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Yanwei led more than [-] people on foot and cavalry to the south. Taking advantage of the emptiness of Ziqing Town, he plundered Dizhou.

This fellow didn't dare to fight Xia Jun head-on, but he had the guts to steal the chicken, and it was quite big.

Wang Jiao, Ye Li Kecheng and others have retreated quickly, returning to each state to defend, and the situation in Bozhou has changed.

"Let's go back to Luoyang first, that's the big deal." Shao Shude flicked his whip and left first.

Punching and kicking in the north and south, the prestige is enough, and the sage will probably want to see it.Before attending the Zhengdan court meeting, Shao Shude still had a lot of things to discuss with others, and the time was very tight.
