Chapter 119: The General Path (Part 2)
With Li Chengguang's death, the Wu army, which was still resisting in Yuanchang County, was wiped out under the encirclement of the Chu army and the Neijing, and there were only a few lieutenant. As early as when Li Chengguang was killed, he keenly realized something was wrong. Taking advantage of the chaos later, they led their own soldiers to break through and escape.
Peng Guozhong, who learned about this situation, planned to pursue these fleeing generals.
"Don't chase after you. It's important to clean up the situation in the city. It's just a few stray dogs, let them go!" At this moment, Luo Niangao stopped the action without caring much.
Looking at the direction of the people's escape, Luo Niangao saw that some of the lieutenants who wanted to compete for me were still unwilling, so he said lightly: "As soon as Yuanchang County is broken, the army can point directly to Jinling. After a moment of Jinling, Wu will be pacified, and these people have nowhere to escape. How could they be confused because of these people?"
In the melee of breaking the city ahead, although there were internal supporters and Li Chengguang's direct line fought back to the death, the Chu army suffered a lot. After all, there were only 3,000 people, and it was difficult to control 20,000 soldiers.
Even now, the Chu army has two thousand surrendered troops, but there are more than 16,000 militias who have not been disbanded. It is really unprofitable to leave the city for a little profit.
I originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to chase and kill these lieutenants, but when I heard the words of the chief general, I tied the reins.
They were full of confidence in the war, and the general said it was right, and the future was long, and now the contribution was already great this time, so it would be meaningless to fight for some small achievements.
At this time, the streets were full of soldiers and armor, including the Chu army and the Wu army. Although the Wu army surrendered, there were many people, which was cold-eyed to the Chu army, and there was a hint of nervousness.
Looking at this scene, Luo Niangao said, "Put down the situation in the city first and wait for the rear army!"
Luo Niangao made some arrangements for several generals, entered Yuanchang County City, lived in Li Chengguang's general's mansion, and issued an order to make the troops quickly and stabilize.
After a long time, the entire Yuanchang County had returned to peace.
At dusk, there were still blood on the streets, but there were no bodies. Every household was closed. However, at this time, both the Chu army and the Wu army were under military discipline and did not disturb the people. For a while, although the city had not yet returned to its usual scenes, it seemed calm.
The streets were empty, and there were no idle people except for the patrol teams of soldiers.
Outside the General's Mansion, two rows of personal soldiers guarded the door with serious expressions, each with bright helmets and bright armor, holding the hilt of a knife in his hands.
Under the stone steps in front of the door, some horses were constantly sniffing.
Zhou Yunlong was dressed neatly, holding the reins of the horse in his hand, standing outside the general's mansion, followed by a group of surrendered generals. Although his expression was calm, he felt a little nervous.
He was a surrendered general from Wu. Although he killed Li Chengguang with his own hands and made a contribution, he was still a little uneasy.
Just as he was thinking, a personal soldier walked out of the door and said, "General Zhou, please come in."
Zhou Yunlong handed the war horses to the personal soldiers in the mansion to watch, and walked in along the personal soldiers.
The office resting place of Li Chengguang, the general's mansion, is now dead. After the Chu army entered the city, it was naturally taken over by the Chu army. Now the commander is here temporarily. Because Zhou Yunlong is often here, he is not unfamiliar with him. He soon came to the living room under the leadership of his personal soldiers.
When we arrived at the living room, we saw two generals greeting him in person in front of the steps. They were all generals.
"Submitted General Zhou Yunlong, I have seen two military sects." Although his status is not lower than these two people, or even higher, it is different now. Just a look at the general who was greeted, Zhou Yunlong bowed his head and bowed.
"I dare not, General Zhou doesn't have to do this. I admire you very much for killing the thief leader for the sake of the people in the county. Moreover, General Zhou is the same level as me, so there is no need to be a big gift. Come and enter the hall together!" Luo Niangao enthusiastically stretched out his hand and supported him.
After surrender, the 20,000 soldiers in the city were partially disbanded and reorganized, and the officers were replaced. However, no matter what, according to Zhou Yunlong's situation, he not only made no mistakes but also made contributions, and he would inevitably have the position of commander in the future.
This is a general of the same level, so naturally he should not neglect it.
It was not until this time that Zhou Yunlong breathed a little relieved, and the attitudes of both generals were quite good.
The three of them entered together.
This living room is very spacious. When Li Chengguang was still there, the place was very gorgeous. The layout has not changed at this time, but some of the gorgeous decorations have been removed, making it look more spacious.
The main guest fell down, and the main general Luo Nian was tall and had a black and red face, but his eyes were bright and energetic, with the majesty of the main general.
The deputy general was about forty, sitting with him.
There was a lieutenant in the distance, but it was Wu Xingzong. This man stood with a knife, raised his eyebrows straight, exuding a murderous aura. Zhou Yunlong just swept it away and was shocked.
Zhou Yunlong usually does not understand physiognomy, but he feels that this person has a great face and has an indescribable charm. He just can't look carefully from a distance, and he can't look at it at this time, and he has *** the two of them again.
Luo Niangao helped him up with his hands and said, "You and I are both soldiers and are both great experts. You can sit there, there is no need to be too polite!"
Zhou Yunlong said, "The courtesy cannot be abolished, how can I ignore it?"
Luo Nian smiled high. As soon as Zhou Yunlong entered the door, not only Zhou Yunlong wanted to see the two main generals, but actually the two generals were also looking at them.
The two generals had heard of Zhou Yunlong before, knowing that this man was poor since childhood and was raised by a widowed mother. Later, he had talent and opportunities. After joining the army, he gradually got to the position of a general. He was good at governing the army, was generous and popular. He didn't expect that he was such a person, but he killed the chief general Li Chengguang.
It was obvious that he was forced to do so. This turbulent trend was really hard to resist and he had to bow his back.
Luo Niangao is not despised by such a person, but he has no good impression of him.
When I didn't want to come in, I saw this man about thirty years old, heroic and resolute, and calm and steady. He looked like a general. It made people feel disappointed at first sight, and his heart immediately changed a lot.
Afterwards, Luo Niangao asked about some matters in the city, and Zhou Yunlong answered and said, "Please rest assured that the army will be restrained, and the army in the city will not cause any trouble."
"That's good. The king must have a kind decree, just wait!" Luo Niangao nodded after hearing this, comforted him a few more words, and then ordered him to retreat.
After leaving the general's mansion, Zhou Yunlong couldn't help but look back and felt quite complicated.
With his temperament, it was difficult to do this, but Li Chengguang was good at governing the army. To be honest, although some people had ideas, they were difficult to fight. Only he could kill Li Chengguang.
We can't let Li Chengguang resist firmly, but we all bury Wei Yue together?
However, in this case, although Li Chengguang is not his master and cannot be considered a master killer, he is his boss and he has to wear the hat of killing.
Maybe the future path will be more bumpy, and no one likes such subordinates.
Fortunately, although they had only been together for a while, the two generals were quite polite. Thinking of this, Zhou Yunlong turned around and left.
Luo Niangao ordered him to sort out various ledgers in the city and hand over the Chu army. He would always be busy for a while. As for his future, Zhou Yunlong also became a little bit indifferent.
In the General's Mansion, Luo Nian sat in the seat in the living room.
"What do you think of this person?" Luo Niangao asked.
Peng Guozhong was thick on the outside and thin on the inside. He touched his head and said, "This person looks a bit capable!"
"That's good, report to the king!" What can be used and what cannot be used depends on the king and the Ministry of War, but the opinions of the parties involved in the surrender are also very important.
After saying some words, Peng Guozhong bowed and said, "DuShi, you are rushing forward. You haven't had a good sleep for two days. Now that you have captured this city, you can rest. The small matters in Du will be processed first. When you wake up tomorrow, you will hand in the service."
Luo Niangao was really tired. After hearing this, he smiled: "You are also a veteran. I don't worry about doing things. You will see you today."
After Peng Guozhong went out, his son-in-law Wu Xingzong followed.
"You go back and rest, there's a fight during the day!" Peng Guozhong said.
"I'm not tired, my father-in-law is working hard, how can I go to sleep!" Wu Xingzong said.
Peng Guozhong nodded and didn't say much. At this time, there was another patrol pace in the distance, and it sounded solemn and killed. Seeing that there was no one around, he suddenly whispered: "You are so popular."
Wu Xingzong was stunned and went out at this time. He looked at the surroundings, and there were still silent personal soldiers. There were closed streets in the distance. No one dared to light the lights, and it looked very quiet.
There was a crackling bonfire in the distance, which was the stronghold for patroling the streets. It was December now, and it was very hard for soldiers to patrol the night, and no one said this.
At this time, Wu Xingzong was pondering, and the flames shone on his face, dark and faint, and strangely speaking, although Wu Xingzong was Peng Guozhong's son-in-law, Peng Guozhong often felt that he had a deep and unfathomable feeling.
This feeling is hard to explain and cannot be explained.
"I would like to ask my father-in-law to give me some advice." Wu Xingzong only frowned and said after a long time.
"The rules of our army, father and son, father-in-law and son-in-law, cannot be in the same army. You are now at a low level, it doesn't matter. When you become a deputy general, you will be in trouble. Moreover, you are too popular and have won the first merit several times. It is really jealous. Even if I am the deputy commander, I can't suppress it." Peng Guozhong's voice seemed helpless and said, "I have made another great contribution this time. I think you can go to the martial arts hall."
"Go to the martial arts hall again?"
"Yes, the martial arts hall is divided into three levels. The first level is the Fire Chief promoted to the deputy team leader. You have already been there. The second level is the Battalion Chief promoted to the deputy guard general. I will sell my face. With some credit, you will be recommended by Du Shuai. I believe that Du Shuai and your colleagues will breathe a sigh of relief - you will no longer be in Bendu after you come out."
"After coming out, you may not be promoted to the deputy guard general, but at least you have the qualifications." Peng Guozhong smiled bitterly: "No matter where you transfer, there will be a future. What do you think?"
Wu Xingzong had a deep face, but he bowed and said, "Yes, it's only the order of his father-in-law."
