The world of bad people is invincible

Chapter 19 Post-war rectification
The five kings of Yan escaped, the governor of Zezhou was arrested, and the whole city of Zezhou surrendered.

Zezhou.

Li Cunxu and a group of generals were in front of the Governor's Mansion, some of them had faint smiles on their faces, while others laughed heartily. In short, they were all very happy to win Zezhou.

Breaking through Zezhou this time is a great achievement for the entire Fengyi Army.In this kind of troubled times, there is no greater contribution than conquering cities and building strongholds.

"General, the Liang army in all treasuries and camps in Zezhou have surrendered, and now we have completely controlled Zezhou!"

On the side, Guo Chongtao, the deputy commander of the Fengyi Army, was reporting the situation.

"Hmm." Li Cunxu was thoughtful, thinking about how to deal with things after breaking the city.

He thought for a moment, then said to Guo Chongtao: "General Guo, pass on the order that all officers and soldiers are not allowed to kill civilians indiscriminately, rape and plunder, and do nothing to the civilians! However, for some extreme civilians, we can deal with them according to the circumstances. , about the supplies in the Zezhou government treasury, the soldiers are not allowed to keep them for themselves..."

Guo Chongtao nodded, and said: "What the general said is very true, he is really a benevolent general. But the general thinks that if you want to restrain the soldiers, it is not enough to just verbally order restraint, and you need to formulate military laws."

"Yes." Li Cunxu nodded in agreement.

Guo Chongtao said again: "The last general has already written the military order, so as to strictly enforce the military law and restrain the soldiers from killing indiscriminately. Please take a look at it."

Li Cunxu took over the military order and found that there were many strict and restrictive items in it, simple and brutal, the most prominent being the prohibition of killing civilians and captives, which was very much in line with Li Cunxu's wishes.

"General Guo's military order is very good. He can understand the whole army and correct the military law."

Guo Chongtao said: "The final general obeys orders."

After Guo Chongtao went down to announce the military order, Li Cunxu called several civilian officials in the army.

"Go and count the deaths and injuries of the soldiers of each army and battalion, make a list, and count the military exploits of the soldiers of each battalion, and record them according to the facts... In addition, properly dispose of the corpses of the soldiers of the two armies to avoid plague... There is also a petition to comfort the people to comfort the hearts of the people in the city.”

After arranging everything, Li Cunxu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

To be honest, this was the first time he had arranged for the appeasement after the city was broken, and he was always worried that something would be overlooked.

However, there must be a gap in a hundred secrets. Although Li Cunxu thought that the arrangement was very appropriate, things were not as expected, and many problems continued to arise.

With the help of the generals, these problems were solved one by one.

After the city was stabilized, Li Cunxu opened the Zezhou treasury and ordered the three armies to hold a banquet and drink happily.

Since I restrained them and prevented them from stealing money and killing people, I was depriving them of their normal vested rights.

In this troubled world, the day when an enemy city is generally breached is a nightmare for the people in the city.Soldiers' salaries these days are not too high, coupled with the depressing atmosphere in the army, generals usually acquiesce in the behavior of soldiers robbing money, and the more soldiers under their command rob, the more the general gets.

Li Cunxu opened up the treasury. This behavior is tantamount to distributing his own interests to everyone, and he gets nothing.

Zezhou is not Liang Jun's granary, but a place where grain must pass through. Therefore, there is not much surplus grain in the city, but there is also a lot.

All the soldiers of the Fengyi Army hadn't tasted meat for nearly half a month. Li Cunxu held a big banquet, and the soldiers were all happy. They all ate meat and drank in big bowls.

During the period, Wang Jianji took the initiative to ask Ying to let himself and his soldiers go to patrol and stand guard first.

Li Cunxu could tell that Wang Jianji was not only a fierce general, but also a caring person.

Considering that the defense of Zezhou city could not be empty, he agreed to his initiative.It's just that I silently remember his kindness in my heart.

After everything is arranged, the next step is to send someone to report the victory.

……

The good news spread to the Jin army's camp within three days, and Li Keyong and all the soldiers also knew about it.

Jin army camp.

"It's only been about ten days, and the prince has captured Zezhou?" A general said in an uncertain tone with disbelief on his face, "Isn't the speed of breaking the city too fast?"

Li Siyuan squinted his eyes and said: "Second brother is born with general talent, it's just a piece of cake to break through a city while talking and laughing, why is it impossible to break a city in ten days?"

Li Keyong said calmly: "Since Zezhou has been breached, Liang Jun's grain transport roads have been blocked, and it will not last long. We have a steady stream of grain transported from the prefectures and counties of the Three Jin Dynasties. In addition, the boss and Shi Jiantang are constantly harassing the enemy. , The Liang army has been attacking Luzhou for a long time, and it is already exhausted at this moment. An exhausted army, with weak morale, will not be able to defeat my warriors of the three Jin Dynasties who are full of morale, and our army will definitely win this battle!"

"The king of Jin really had a clever plan, and he planned a strategy to win a decisive victory thousands of miles away."

All the generals in the camp praised him, saying that Li Keyong seemed to have become a god-man who could destroy the enemy with a wave of his hands while talking and laughing.

Li Keyong didn't listen to them at all, and he said lightly: "The city of Luzhou may not be able to last for a long time, order the old nine and ten to prepare for battle, and soon, we will have a decisive battle with the Liang army!"

The old nine and ten in Li Ke's mouth are Li Cunzhong, the ninth, and Li Cunxiao, the tenth of the Jin Wang Thirteenth Taibao.

Li Cunzhong is short in stature, with sharp ears and monkey cheeks, and looks like a thin monkey from a distance.But don't look at his strange appearance, he is the head of the Zhongzi Sect of Tongwenguan, the adopted son of Li Keyong, and the ninth rank of the Thirteenth Taibao.Li Cunzhong's martial arts is not high, but he is extremely insidious and cunning, and his methods are brutal.

Unlike Li Cunzhong who was short in stature, Li Cunxiao's body was indeed extremely large, two or three tall, and he was a giant as strong as a mountain and infinitely powerful.The king is no better than Xiang Jiang, but Li Cunxiao's strength can be said to be one of the best among the Thirteen Taibao.He is highly skilled in martial arts, and his skill has even reached the realm of the great heaven, he is really the number one warrior in the world!

Li Cunzhong's martial arts are mediocre, but he is good at trickery, while Li Cunxiao is simple-minded, honest and honest, but strong in martial arts.The two learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses, helping each other, making them even more powerful, and they are the best partners.The duo of loyalty and filial piety has few rivals in the world!

Since Li Keyong is determined to use these two people on the battlefield, he must really want to end this war.

"In addition, order the second child to defend Zezhou to the death!"

……

After receiving the military order from the King of Jin, Li Cunxu called together the officers of the various armies to discuss matters.

Li Cunxu first ordered to gather the remaining combatable soldiers under his command.

Then he ordered the whole army to rectify and wait for battle.

Liang Jun's loss of Zezhou is equivalent to cutting off the road for transporting grain and grass on the Zelu line, and he must do everything possible to get it back.

The first is to plug the gap in the city wall that had been blasted by the gunpowder blast.However, the gap was so badly blasted that Li Cunxu could barely fill it up with some stones and clay, and then piled large rocks behind the gap to block it.

After that, Li Cunxu ordered to open the Zezhou arsenal, and distribute all the few remaining arrows from the previous Liang army to the soldiers on the city wall.

In addition, Li Cunxu also recruited civilian men to dig trenches outside the wall, put down horse stakes, and so on.

……

Two days later, outside the city of Zezhou, where the Fengyi army had been, Liang Jun's army was fighting loudly and flying banners, the momentum was quite astonishing.

"General, looking at the battle of the Liang army, I am afraid that there are about [-] soldiers who came from various states of the Liang State temporarily. However, most of them are not elite, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Guo Chongtao observed on the city wall , said confidently.

Unlike new generals like Li Cunxu, ordinary battlefield generals can basically tell the number and status of the army at a glance. This is the most basic judgment. Guo Chongtao has been in the army for many years, so he can naturally judge it.

"This Liang army is a temporary sign, coupled with the long journey, the morale will inevitably be low. Although our army has only a few thousand people, it is not difficult to hold it." Wang Jianji also nodded beside him.

Hearing the inferences of many generals, Li Cunxu felt a little relieved, but he still couldn't slack off.

"Although the situation at this time is still optimistic! But Liang's army is powerful, and our army must not slack off. There must be no mistakes in ordering the whole army to actively prepare for the battle."

Be careful sailing for thousands of years, Li Cunxu still thinks that more precautions are needed. The previous Liang Jun was also blown up by himself because of negligence. If Liang Jun observed carefully, it would be impossible for the gunpowder to be transported to the city.

"As ordered!"

Not long after, Liang Jun began to attack the city.

At this moment, Li Cunxu finally once again witnessed the cruelty of the siege battle from the perspective of the city defender.The soldiers of the Liang army were not afraid of death, but it was useless.

Arrows, crossbows and bows, rolling wood and stones, are ruthlessly harvesting the lives of countless Liang Jun.

Not long after, Liang Jun collapsed across the board. The siege ant's tactics are simply a bottomless pit. No matter how many soldiers you invest, it will be difficult to reach the top of the city!
There is no doubt that this Liang Jin siege battle ended with the complete victory of the Fengyi Army.

Liang Jun lost thousands of people, everyone was in danger, and deserters continued to increase, so they had to retreat in embarrassment.

Two days later, Liang Jun made a comeback, but his morale was obviously even lower, and he just died in vain.

Li Cunxu held on for several days without pressure, and finally, Liang Jun stopped attacking.
