Chapter 280 Lu Gao Surrender (Part 2)
"Sir, Lu Shuai agreed to leave with us. The sir has completed another task that His Majesty advised me. The lord will first congratulate you."
In the Dafu Building, an official from Liu Chao said with a smile, and at the same time ordered him to continue to pack up his things.
Liu Chao smiled and said, "I never thought about it going well."
Liu Chao is a fifth-rank official. Although he was able to get promoted immediately after he accomplished this time, he was a great achievement. According to the great success of the national system, he would probably have to be transferred to the Grand Mansion to become a prefect and gain experience in managing the local area before he could be promoted.
Sitting in the hall, Liu Chao sipped the tea and said slowly: "Your Majesty is a pity for talent. Lu Shuai will be happy to follow us back this time... You can also carry that object on the boat!"
Pointing at a gold utensil, Liu Chao said.
The person who was carrying the things quickly responded, and the two of them worked together to move the goldware out.
Looking at the empty flower hall, Liu Chao smiled.
Although Youzhou will be occupied by the Hu people, there are many people who have the emperor's fleet.
Most of the wealth of Youzhou was transferred by these people early on.
The fugitives were also divided into levels, and the second was of course the refugees. They were assigned to Jiaozhou to reclaim wasteland. By the way, during this year, the population of Han people in Jiaozhou surged from 1.5 million to 2.5 million!
Fortunately among the refugees, they went to Shu, and the population of Shu also increased to three million, which was basically enriched, and the originally barren land was also reclaimed.
Some refugees are also sporadically distributed.
Some big money owners bring gold, silver and soft money to the south to buy land and houses, enriching their economy.
As for some large clans and officials and gentry, they even transported the vaults of several counties to the south.
This city is the foundation of Lu Gao, and it is even clean. Even the aristocratic families, wealthy families and people, including the Lu family, left in batches. Except for thousands of elite soldiers in Youzhou, this place is already an empty city.
It is said that being an official for thousands of miles is just for money. Being this special envoy also has a lot of benefits. I won’t talk about political achievements. Just to get on the ship as soon as possible, there are half a boat of goods and property delivered.
Of course, these wealth are not exclusive to Liu Chao. He handed over part of it, took some, and his subordinates divided it into part, but even if he only got 20%, the discount was 100,000 taels.
Now that the country is founded, land and houses are not expensive, and buying too much land is eye-catching. But if you have 500 acres, buy a few shops and houses in the city, and use some to manage your boss, the future will be much smoother.
"Let me send the news back now, saying that the Youzhou Jiedushi Lu Gao led his troops to Jinling soon." Liu Chao said.
Now Xuzhou is pacified, and in fact it is not far from Youzhou. The navy has arrived in Xuzhou to station, especially now the two fleets are in Youzhou. They have contacts and will respond soon.
"promise!"
Jieduan Mansion
As soon as Xu Zhong entered the door, he felt that the atmosphere was different.
Lu Gao sat on the main seat in front of the hall and met with the officials and generals.
It is said that they are all officials, but in fact there are not many civil servants. Zhang Tai and Zhu Ne are sitting on the two trunks on the left and right sides. They are the only senior civil servants who are still alive. They are holding teacups in their hands and drinking carefully.
Below are the many generals, all of whom are direct relatives.
Xu Zhong looked at Lu Gao quietly and saw that he was not wearing armor, golden crown, and robe. He was just in a bad mood. Xu Zhong did not dare to look at him anymore, bowed and returned to the team.
The hall returned to silence.
After a long time, Lu Gaoshen sighed and said, "You are a little late and you haven't heard the statement. I will say it again. I have decided to surrender to Emperor Dacheng and rush to Jinling."
Xu Zhong moved his body uneasy and did not speak.
Lu Gao said again: "I feel sad when my ancestors left one day. Think about my grandfather. In order to build a little family business, he suffered seventeen damages during the matchup, and even had a heavy armor pierced!"
"My father conquered and conquered eleven cities in six months, which was so powerful that he had the foundation of my Lu family. It seems that I am still incompetent and virtuous... I cannot maintain my family business."
After hearing this, the generals could no longer stand and all knelt down.
Zhu Ne also stood up and said, "We are ashamed of being so arrogant when the general said this. After the general took office, there was no mistake in making decisions. It was just that the fate of heaven led to the invasion of Hu people."
Zhang Tai also stood up and said, "Master General, now the Hu people are gathering, and the Han people are driven away. This is not the time to say that, please make a quick decision."
"Mr. Zhang said." Lu Gao calmed down, waved his hand, and said, "Get up!"
After the generals got up and stood up again, Lu Gao said, "The Hu people surrounded this city, but left one. This is a common plan for military strategists, but now there are only 10,000 people in the city. We left the city overnight and went to Linhai County to board the ship."
"Will the Hu people notice it?"
"We are very hard, and the Hu people are also very hard. I heard that when a snow falls, thousands of horses die. The Hu people rode their horses to attack in summer and did not fatten. After the hard battles in autumn and winter, they were already exhausted. Now we are a nail in Youzhou. The Hu people must be removed to be at ease, so they fight hard at all costs." Zhu Ne said lightly: "Now we are evacuating, let alone not know, even if we know, we are afraid that we will stop moving and let us leave."
In ancient times, the city was extremely large, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. It was impossible to really surround a big city, at most trapping four gates.
The city was built in a bit steep, and the Hu people trapped three gates. This is a common trick used when siegeing the city, leaving a glimmer of life for the defenders in the city, so that it is easier to siege the city.
In fact, Emperor Dacheng sent a naval army to provide assistance, and the Hu people were not unaware of it, but it was true. The Hu people are now very tired, and there are still tens of thousands of people in this nail, so it would be amazing to delay it for another month. Therefore, it would rather let this hard and smelly defeated army withdraw.
After hearing this, Lu Gao said, "What he said makes sense, I will take it away overnight tonight!"
At night, a large number of troops left the city silently and walked forward. Although it was spring again at night, there was no thick smoke and dust rising, it was still clearly visible.
On a hill, hundreds of riders surrounded one person and looked from a distance.
This person is Huerbo.
The soldiers around were all black armored, horses hung with horn bows and quiver pots, and all kinds of weapons of length and shortness. Each cavalry had a strong and hostile face.
Among the cavalry, there were hundreds of people wearing iron armor, but they were very elite personal soldiers.
Even on hills, it is indeed prohibited to maintain a strict array.
"Your Highness, did you let them go?" someone said.
"How many people will be killed if they don't let them go? If we fight for another month, half of our horses will die." Huerbo said with a wry smile.
After pausing, he said, "And they were the last resistance of the Han people in Youzhou. After leaving, Youzhou was pacified."
Speaking of this, my heart is bitter.
Even if the two states of Youbian were pacified and connected together, at least in the first half of this year, the Hu people were extremely moved and had to raise their exhausted horses to fatten up.
In the past six months, Wang Hongyi, who became emperor in the south, could make more preparations and even conquered Luoyang and pushed the front line to the Yellow River area.
Thinking of this, Huerbo felt extremely bitter in his heart. At this time, all he looked at Youzhou was left, but he had lost the possibility of fighting in one fell swoop while the Han people were falling apart.
In the future, there will be a long-term stalemate and continuous bleeding until one side "bang" falls down.
"It can't be like this now. We must organize the Han people according to the Han system to produce food and build weapons for us." Hurbo thought silently.
After getting the entire territory of the two states, it was time to take measures to be gentle.
This is not easy, nor is it very difficult. Father Khan had already had someone to give it a blow, and when he wrote a letter at this time, he would be able to do it.
However, even so, it is hard to say how far it can go if the Han people are enabled, the official system is established, the Han officials are recruited, and the Han people are valued and surrendered.
When he thought about it, Huerbo felt that even if he could not enter the Central Plains, the Han people were seriously injured and could protect themselves after retreating to the grassland.
But it is not difficult to advance or retreat. Thinking of this, Huerbo breathed a sigh of relief.
After an hour, when everyone saw everyone walking away, Huerbo said, "Send Daiqin to occupy this city!"
No matter what, I learned that the city had changed, and as long as I captured this city and pacified Youzhou, it was a great achievement, and this would be counted on Huerbo.
Following the order, a cavalry dispatched to the city. After a while, no one shot.
He sent someone to attack the city with a cloud ladder. The soldiers on the cloud ladder climbed to the top of the city, and no one fought back. Seeing this scene while riding a horse under the city, many Hu generals were stunned.
"Is there no one in the city?" These people who didn't know were all guessing in their hearts.
Then it developed and verified the guess.
The city gate was wide open, and the soldiers climbing up the city wall opened the city gate and shouted happily!
Without caring about doubt, when the city gate opened, Hu *** army immediately burst into loud cheers. After attacking outside the city for several months, even the most powerful person could not stand it and urgently needed a city to cultivate.
This is a big victory, and at this moment, everyone still thinks like this in their hearts.
Until the Hu people entered the city and looked around, they were shocked to find that not only did there be no people in the city, but all valuable items that could be taken away were taken away.
If you can't take it away, you will be destroyed so much that you can't be destroyed anymore, especially if there is no food inside, the army entering the city will be furious.
Jinling Palace
Wang Hongyi took a walk and entered the Imperial Garden.
At this time, the clouds were dark and the sky seemed to be deep in the garden. Wang Hongyi walked and heard a sound of a piano coming from afar.
After walking for a few steps, I watched the scenery and saw a sudden movement on the tripod, and a strong sense of luck surged in.
When Wang Hongyi is now, the gains and losses of each county cannot be shown. Such a strong fortune must have a deep foundation.
"The King of Qin is impossible. If the King of Qin wants to surrender, he will have a big reaction, that is, the Duke of Zheng and Lu Gao of Youzhou."
"But I haven't issued an order to surrender, so it's unlikely that I will surrender just like this, that's Lugao in Youzhou."
Lu Gao was a man who became king in Youzhou, and he was a hidden dragon. Although he was at a loss now and was less than ten thousand soldiers, he could still influence the world as long as he breathed a sigh of relief. It is not surprising that he had this phenomenon.
Thinking of this, it was clear that a gust of wind blew in, and the forest was rustling.
"The storm is coming and the wind fills the building."
Wang Hongyi stared blankly, and the battle situation of Youbing subsided as soon as Lu Gao surrendered, but in fact the world had been clearly divided.
Chapter completed!
