Du Jing made a bet that Bie Cong Wo Shi and Li Bu Li would not have thought that the Songzhou defenders could still take care of their home base when the soldiers were pressing down on the border. This also created favorable conditions for the surprise attack.

The so-called surprise attack, in short, is to attack the enemy by surprise. When they attack each Jizhou with all their strength and the defense is empty, launch a sudden attack.

Blitzkrieg is definitely the best lubricant to move the rusty wrench of "war situation".

Arriving outside Yanzhou City, Du Jing asked Cheng Chubi and Youyi Mansion to bring out a hundred horses, change them into Qiang clothes, smear some blood on them, pretend to be wounded soldiers, and go to seize the city.

Seeing Cheng Chubi and his group of stragglers walking towards each other in small groups, supporting each other, the centurion who was guarding the city shouted: "Stop those who come, and reveal your identity!"

Cheng Chubi threw down the walking stick in his hand and yelled: "Show your grandma's legs. I worked hard for the leader on the front line and finally came back alive, but I still have to be questioned by you?"

"Come down here and I'll prove it! Sir, believe it or not, I pulled out my tongue, tied it in a knot and put it back again!"

It's normal to curse and curse. If the leader wants to fight, they have to give up their comfortable life and slash at their friends and neighbors. Fortunately, they are buried on the spot if they die in battle. No one cares about them if they are injured. If they don't escape back, they can only wait.

If you die, you won’t be too angry!

Although he was very disdainful of such deserters, they were members of his own tribe after all. The centurion received the order to identify the injuries and escort those who had deserted with minor injuries before escorting them back to the front line.

After cursing, the centurion from the top of the city ordered the door to be opened, and came out with five soldiers. There was still a look of caution on his face, and he also drew the knife from his waist.

And the way Cheng Chubi nodded and bowed made the smile on the centurion's face grow wider. He was restrained in front and respectful in back, which was completely stupid. He also lowered his guard and raised his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to put away their swords.

The proud centurion pinched his waist and cursed: "You losers still have the strength to curse, and the injuries are not serious!"

When the centurion patted him on the shoulder, Cheng Chubi responded with a smile: "You are really discerning!" After speaking, he shook his sleeves and drew a dagger from his palm. Without waiting for the centurion's reaction, he immediately inserted it into his chest.

Chest.

The Tang soldier who pretended to be a wounded soldier also drew his dagger, stabbed the five Qiang people to death, and immediately ran towards the city gate. The Qiang people, who had recovered from their composure at this moment, had no time to close the door again.

At the same time, Du Jing, who was in the dense forest not far away, pointed his spear at Yanzhou City. The remaining 1,400 riders under his command rushed out of the forest and immediately rushed towards the city gate.

In about half an hour, all the 500 Qiang soldiers who defended the city were killed. After another half-day bloody battle with the 1,000 defenders in the city, the Tang army successfully took control of Yanzhou's city defenses. It only took three and a half hours to capture Yanzhou City, which can be called lightning.

.

Du Jing divided his army into three, and Li Youqian guarded the city defense. He and Cheng Chubi took the remaining people and searched the city for civil and military officials of the Bie Cong Wo Shi Department and their families.

Benefiting from sinicization, these Qiang nobles all built mansions after returning to the Tang Dynasty. This saved Du Jing and Cheng Chubi a lot of trouble. They could just follow the list of governor's office and arrest people.

Of course, Du Jing was also a man of rules. The rebel family members only captured men who were taller than the belly of a horse. When he punished the unruly tribes in Liangzhou, he also followed this "old custom".

There were quite a lot of people, about 800 people, and a tied-up man was kneeling in front of the governor's house. Du Jing specially ordered his soldiers to gather some of the people to watch the execution and review the court's attitude.

Cheng Chubi, with a stern look on his face, recited the notice loudly: "A letter to the soldiers and civilians in the city: Don't Cong Wo Shi lead his tribe to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, all the crimes committed by the leader and his accomplices are the crimes of the Chi tribe!"

"But Tian Khan has a good life, and the Han and barbarians love him equally. The officials and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty upheld the holy will and only punished the traitors and did not offend the innocent people..."

Today, all the men of the rebel officials were beheaded, firstly to uphold the dignity of the country's law, and secondly, to frighten the rebels.

At the same time, I would like to warn all the soldiers and civilians in the city that if there are any children in the family who join the thieves and cause trouble, they should be advised to stop at the brink and return to the orthodox kingly way as soon as possible, so as to save their lives.

Otherwise, after the war subsides, the Songzhou Army will judge the crime according to the military register, and those who join the thieves will be severely punished, and their families will be implicated.

In addition, the properties of the Yanzhou rebel officials were also scattered among the people of Hecheng today to show that the city was favored by the imperial court!

After the announcement was finished, Cheng Chubi gave an order, and all the 800 heads were chopped off in eight batches. The surrounding tribesmen shouted: "The Khan of Heaven shines brightly, and the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are powerful."

Don’t you think it’s ridiculous? It’s sad when a rabbit dies and a fox is sad. Du Jing killed their compatriots. They should hate the Tang army. Even filled with righteous indignation, they would attack in groups.

But Du Jing fed them a "Snow White's poisonous apple" - allowing them to divide the property of the rebel officials.

They are ordinary tribesmen who are poor and have nothing to do. Many of them work day and night just to make a living. Whoever can give them more benefits will be given to them, regardless of nationality, enemy or friend. This is human nature.

Rebellion will kill people. Whether it succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with them. They only recognize what they get. The leader will not be as generous as the Tang army and distribute all the property to them. They know this very well.

So why should you be loyal to him?

Whether they are short-handed or selfish, they will definitely try their best to pull their children out of the rebels. Isn't the war just for money and food? Now that the Tang army has given it, why should their children?

Are you going to risk your life?

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. After eating this "apple", they have already cut themselves off from Bie Cong Wushi. For this property, they must turn against them. Moreover, in order to defend their vested interests, they will even fight against Bie Cong Wushi.

This is the truth of working hard, people die for wealth, and birds die for food.

Looking at Du Jing with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Li Youqian swallowed his saliva, sold the person, and asked someone to help him count the money. Although he went to attack with troops, this trick was too sinister and poisonous.

Killing other people, dividing their property, and asking their subordinates to willingly sacrifice their lives. How many bad people in the belly can come up with such an unethical idea.

Compared with Du Jing, this evil young man from Chang'an is just a harmless little lamb. I am so damn kind! Li Youqian, who accidentally looked at each other, shivered involuntarily.

"Youqian, Nuozhou does the same thing, okay?"

"Uh, uh, I only obey the general's orders, and the last general will act according to his orders."

As expected of the grandson of a great general, he was really smart enough to realize the two-birds-with-one-stone strategy so quickly. Yes, he had already wanted to do this when he proposed a surprise attack on the two states in the main hall of Songzhou Governor's Mansion.

Yes! If you do this, some innocent people will definitely be involved and lose their lives! But for the benefit of the Tang Dynasty and for the more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Songzhou City, Du Jing had no choice but to push them to the battlefield.<
