The north wind whistled, and the cold air in Rencheng was soaring. After the surrender of the Rencheng garrison Su Wei, the soldiers in the city also began to put down their weapons and asked to surrender one by one. In an instant, hundreds of troops advanced, with footsteps and horse hooves.

All the streets and alleys of Rencheng were blocked, and all the streets were started to be inspected.

Seven thousand defenders were killed more than 3,000, and the rest were surrendered. The Shanyang Army also paid the price of more than 1,500 people. Although it was only for the purpose of siege, there might not be so many casualties.

But Zhao Xun did not regret it. He hoped that the soldiers who had seen several blood were elite soldiers who could fight together. After this time, the soldiers who were divided into three large pieces of the army also began to merge.

The people in the city were not afraid of the Shanyang Army entering the city. However, the Shanyang Army told the people to stay at home temporarily and wait for the entire city to be investigated before they would come into contact with the ban.

"Send orders to go on, contact bans, post notices, and let civil servants take over government affairs and be responsible for appeasement of the people in the city."

"Come, send an order! Send people to contact the merchants in the city and ask them to sell goods according to the market price. Those who dare to hoard goods, disrupt the market, and make money indiscriminately will be searched and destroyed!"

"Come, send an order! Immediately send someone to contact the gentry in the city, and ask them to hand over their private servants immediately. Those who do not hand over will be killed. I will prepare to sell a batch of grain we have formulated to our army, and let them come to the government to report.

The amount of land that does not come will be confiscated. Any illegally obtained land shall be owned by the government. At the same time, the government is willing to pay for the land that it wants to sell. In addition, from now on, except for the government, any

We will not admit the land transactions conducted by individuals and families.”

When he returned to the county government office with Su Wei, Zhao Xun made an urgent order. The civil servants had already begun to count the county government office’s account books and treasury before Zhao Xun issued the military order.

After detailed discussion, Zhao Xun learned that Su Wei's power is not small, but not only the 10,000 generals who were stationed in the back of the Shanyang army in the past, but now they are the 10,000 generals guarding Rencheng and Guidecheng, but also Shunzhou Prefecture.

The head of the prefecture army commands all the troops in Songzhou Prefecture. Although there are only a few defenders in many places with less than a thousand people, with Su Wei, Zhao Xun can take these places without bloodshed. Of course, the premise is that Su Wei is willing to cooperate.

.

"General Su, I want to quickly take down Guiyang, Shangqiu and Kangfu in the north, and save the people here from the disaster of war as soon as possible. But I am afraid that the defenders will resist too persistently, and will let our army and

Local people have bad fingers. In addition, I don’t want to let the place where I go, mourning everywhere. Now General Su is here, so I can avoid this worry. General Su needs to do his best." Zhao Xun smiled and directly pushed himself.

He said his plan.

Su Wei hurriedly said, "The defeated general dare not be called a general. The general is kind-hearted and admires him. I also understand the general's worries. I have also become the governor of Songzhou Prefecture. I believe he can still make a move.

In these places, the face of the lower level can still play some role. Of course, wherever the generals go, how can they dare not accept the situation in various places? The sending of the letter is just to make these defenders feel at ease."

Su Wei is very clear about his position. He seems to be kind to the other party, but he will not forget his identity. Su Wei is still a prisoner, and a prisoner of a high level. If he cannot perform well, then

It may be used to sacrifice flags. Therefore, he could only act in a lower position in front of Zhao Xun and play his role.

Zhao Xun smiled and said, "General Su is really a kind and righteous person. I think the people from all over the Songzhou Prefecture will eventually be grateful to General Su for saving them from the disaster of killing."

"Our army is now going to conquer various places, and it is difficult to process the captives captured in various places in time. Now I have established a military commander to be responsible for handling the surrendered soldiers and counting the surrendered soldiers who are willing to join our army.

, and to investigate the local performance of the defeated troops and released surrendered soldiers in various places. But I still lack a person in charge. Can General Su be willing to help? With General Su here, these surrendered soldiers will definitely not cause any trouble.

At the same time, it also facilitates my subordinates to communicate better with these surrendered soldiers." Zhao Xun said slowly.

Su Wei felt a little relieved, knowing that the other party would not attack him anymore. You know, he was the chief general in charge of the 10,000 troops in Shunzhou Prefecture and more than 6,000 county soldiers, and he had a lot of respect for the surrendered soldiers from all over the country.

Influence. How could he not be afraid that the other party would deal with his hidden danger first? Now that the other party asked him to deal with some things without real power, he could feel relieved.

"The general has an order, how can the subordinates not obey?" He said respectfully and bowed to Zhao Xun.

When Zhao Xun saw this, he smiled slightly and nodded in his heart. He was quite satisfied with Su Wei's performance. If the other party was not aware of the situation or had his posture, he would not give the other party an official position, but a butcher knife.

After taking over the Jiyin Prefecture, the base camp of the Yanzhou Prefecture Army, and the old nest of Xu Jie, several counties to the west quickly got news. Before they had thought of a solution, Shanyang

The army's massive move has arrived.

The counties in the western part of Jiyin Prefecture are connected to Songzhou Prefecture in the south, Chengyang and other places in the north, and to the west is the jurisdiction of the Xiaoguo Army, Jizhou. Because of the new policy of Jizhou, many people in the western part of Jiyin Prefecture are crowded.

Moved to Jizhou to settle down in Jizhou. In order to prevent all the people under their rule from entering others' territory, Xu Jie also issued a blockade order, and anyone who enters and leaves the border privately will be severely punished. Therefore, the people of the western counties

, the recognition of Xu Jie is not high. Of course, the most important thing is naturally because Xu Jie's battle with the Wuwei Army made him unable to stop. The military, horse, money and food are not just talk. After all, the military, horse, money and food

All come from the people.

Over the past year, in order to defeat the Wuwei Army and become the leader of Yanzhou, Xu Jie still increased taxes three times within his jurisdiction, which caused many people to be displaced. Therefore, bandits, bandits and bandits from all over the country also rose up one after another.

Most of them are poor people who have no way to survive. This time, the Shanyang Army entered the country, and these bandits were also the targets of the Shanyang Army's cleaning. In addition to surrendering, they would be wiped out. As for those who were extremely guilty, they were only the crime of pursuing the main evil.

In just four or five days, more than ten bandits surrendered and handed over to those who were wanted by the government and were extremely guilty of more than 30 people. They were all beheaded by the people under their command to avoid being punished. In addition, they were forcibly destroyed by the Shanyang Army.

More than ten occupied cottages.

Especially since Xu Jie and the Wu Wei Army started the war in Luzhou Prefecture, they suffered heavy losses from the beginning, which made Xu Jie's plunder of the local area even more serious. Another reason was also related to the Shanyang Army, which lost Yanzhou Prefecture, a wealthy mansion.

, which made the burdens that other prefectures bear much heavier. Therefore, except for the main city, towns and towns in various places hate the Yanzhou Prefecture Army very much. In particular, some soldiers of the Yanzhou Prefecture Army, those soldiers stationed in different places by Xujie were almost all

It was like a group of bandits. The generals who led the troops were asking for food and pay, and the soldiers below were eating and looting along the way, which was not much better than the bandits and bandits. Not only ordinary people, but also the gentry and wealthy families in various places.

Very dissatisfied with these soldiers.

In addition, in the townships of various places, young and strong people were either forced to be soldiers or captured as civilians. Strong men were arrested as soldiers and civilians, while the remaining elderly, weak, women and children needed to support their families.

If the leaders of the local bandits and rebel army were not kind, they became the targets of the bandits and rebel army who came and went like the wind. When the last little food in the house was also plundered, even the young women were taken away.

. Therefore, when Jiyin Prefecture conquered the western counties, Feng Ziming's military order to Tang Bin was to slowly advance, thoroughly clean up those who did not obey discipline in various places, clean up bandits and rebels from all over the country, those who followed it prospered, and those who opposed it were

Death.

When he arrived at the third city Pingyou City, Tang Bin had more than 30,000 troops. When he left Qi County, he only led 10,000 soldiers, because the defenders in the western cities were basically one or two thousand.

There were not many people in two or three thousand people. However, with the surrendered soldiers and the joining of the bandits and the rebel army, the scale began to expand. Of course, Tang Bin did not intend to include them all in the system under his command. What he needed was from it

Select the right personnel and use war to choose. For these bandits, rebels and surrendered soldiers, Tang Bin learned about what they did in these remote places, and there was nothing pitiful about them. He could live on the battlefield

After that, the Shanyang Army will naturally teach its basic military rules and regulations, join the Shanyang Army for training, and finally join the Shanyang Army's main soldiers or local county soldiers.

The marching of 30,000 soldiers didn't sound much. But walking on the road was vast and dusty. If Tang Bin hadn't used 3,000 soldiers as military judges, he would have been at the beginning to attack the surrendered soldiers and bandits who joined.

The rebels taught with a knife, but they were afraid that they would be able to make a mess and neigh. In order to tame these people and not disturb the people, they were killed by military judges along the way.

More than 2,000 people. This is also the reason why Tang Bin dared not let them stay in various places on standby. Even the county soldiers and inspection departments in various places were inspectors, and old soldiers and wounded soldiers who wanted to retire from the Shanyang Army.

He came out to serve as an officer, selected as a soldier from the local young and strong, and protected his hometown.

However, just these 30,000 troops were marching and walking on the road, and they were unable to hide and had a huge momentum. Before the army arrived, the people from all over the country, soldiers and local officials from Yanzhou Prefecture had already received the news.

At the beginning, the local people were also very afraid of the Shanyang Army. However, where the Shanyang Army went, in addition to confiscating local surrendered soldiers and clearing out bandit rebels, they also began to rescue the victims caused by the snow, and never did

Harassing the people has led to the people of the western counties to accept the Shanyang Army. Later, after the new policy similar to the Xiaoguo Army was promulgated, the local people were excited and supported the rule of the Shanyang Army.

"Where was it in the past?" Tang Bin pointed to the shadowy city in the distance and asked in a deep voice. Because the fields were all white and sometimes down, it also prevented the army from checking the map and identifying the directions well. However,

This is a difficult situation for the local residents.

"Report to the Lord, there is a blind forest. Fifty miles southwest from the blind forest, it is Dingtao."

"Blind Forest, Dingtao! Take down these two places and the western counties are half completed." Tang Bin said lightly.

"Sir, if it weren't for the purpose of clearing out the bandits and rebels in the towns and towns in various places, I would have completed the capture of half of the land long ago." Xu Qing said with a smile.

Tang Bin said in a deep voice: "You can't say that. If we hadn't wiped out the bandits and rebels, we would have so many alternative soldiers? If we hadn't had bandits and rebels, we would have had such great gains. Not to mention these hundreds of thousands of Dans Food, even the gold and silver worth 20 million silver coins, is also a great gain. Of course, we have also seen it and let the people see what kind of thing the bandits and rebels are." As he said, Tang Bin's tone It has a lot of aggravated.

Xu Qing knew what he was angry about Shangguan, because after the bandits and rebels who harmed the people in various townships along the way were wiped out, a large part of them were large tribes and gentry and wealthy families from all over the country. What's more, there were even local troops stationed in these places. Soldiers, that is, when it is snowing and it is inconvenient to investigate, pretend to be bandits and robbers and robbers everywhere. Ordinary people and wealthy families are all the targets of their robbery.

"Report!"

A cavalry rushed to the scene, and the knight immediately turned over and dismounted and reported loudly, "I am under the command of the former army, Xu Le and Xu, and was ordered to report the victory. Xu Zhengzhou rushed to the Blind Forest City ten miles ahead half an hour ago. In the city, Zhang Wei, the guard of Yanzhou Prefecture Army, surrendered to the city. Our army had no bloodshed and captured the city of Blind Forest City. All 1,300 defenders turned against each other. At present, Xu's guards left 500 soldiers waiting for the guards in the city. Lord, Xu had already led the rest of the troops to Dingtao in the southwest.

"Congratulations, I'm breaking another city! Xu Le is so lucky. I feel itchy when I hear it." Xu Qing turned around and smiled at Tang Bin and bowed to congratulate him.

Tang Bin was also very happy to hear this news. Once the blind forest was broken, Dingtao on the south side would be no longer protected by the flanks. In addition, although the blind forest city was not big, a thousand defenders really wanted to seize the city and take it down. He also has to suffer casualties. In addition, it will also waste precious time. Now the defenders surrender the city, which saves a lot of trouble.

"Okay, I'll write down Xu Le. After passing the order, I'll say that the Blind Forest City in front has been taken down, so that the soldiers can speed up the marching. When the Blind Forest City arrives, the army can rest for a while."

"Xu Qing, you sent a thousand people to take over the surrendered troops, and in addition, assist the officials behind you to take over the whole city. After asking clearly, all the evil people among these surrendered soldiers will be taken away by the army. You lead the five Thousands of things went to Dingtao, gathered with Xu Le, and captured the land of Dingtao."

"Abide by the order!" Xu Qing suddenly looked happy when he heard this. He finally could do it, instead of staying behind and waiting for the good news to come. He was very frustrated with military achievements. You must know that according to the grading method of Xiaoguo Army, Being a captain can be divided into four levels.

"Master Duwei, since he took over Qi County and destroyed the bandits and rebels of the defenders of the Cheng family, the guards in various places have become much weaker, and more bandits in the places have become good people."

Tang Bin said coldly: "If you take off your bandit's robber's robber's robber's robber's robber's robber's robber's robbers, they are simply dreaming. The county soldiers in the local area are not used as decorations. If these guys are not punished severely, how can they comfort the local area. The hearts of the people? If they are not completely calmed down, other disasters will surely be caused in the future."

"By the way, Lord Duwei, it is said that our right master will be expanded to the Right Guard this time, and that will be 25,000 people. At that time, Lord Duwei will be the same general as the general of the Xiaoguo Army Town Army. "Captain Liu Zhi said with a smile.

Tang Bin nodded and said, "This is true. We are all from the guard camp under the lord's command. I don't hide it from you. The reason why we have softened 30,000 people now is to be among these 30,000 people.

, 20,000 people were chosen, half as the regular soldiers and half as the county soldiers from all over the country. These surrendered soldiers and surrendered bandits and rebels were not good things."

Liu Zhi said in a deep voice: "We have only taken half of the land now, and we have gathered 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers to capture the entire territory. 40,000 to 50,000 is naturally no problem. Putting aside the first ten thousand people, add

It is not difficult to select 25,000 soldiers from the county. After all, after Qi County was defeated, the five counties in the west and southwest were all strong outside and the middle. No, it should be said that outside Luzhou Prefecture, Jiyin

The Yanzhou Prefecture Army is finished in the prefecture and Songzhou Prefecture. It is no problem to capture this place. The only thing that takes more time when conquering local bandits and rebels."

Tang Bin deeply agreed with Liu Zhi's words. Now Xu Jiefu and his elite soldiers are in the Luzhou Prefecture, especially in the southern part of Luzhou Prefecture, and want to sweep the Wuwei Army away the entire Luzhou Prefecture. But all of them are added together,

There are only more than 30,000 people. In the east of Luzhou Prefecture, except for the large number of guards in Qi County and the elite soldiers, the rest are local county soldiers. Although there are many soldiers in Rencheng, it seems that

But they are all mobs and are not worthy of attack. This is also the reason why the army here is now coming and all over the place will be descending.

When Jiyin Prefecture was in action, Songzhou Prefecture in the south also began to take action. Unlike Jiyin Prefecture in the north, Songzhou Prefecture's actions were simpler, that is, the army was pressing down on the border, persuading surrender and forcing surrender. Of course, it was the role of the situation.

The role is two different: the power of the Shanyang Army and the letter of surrender of Su Wei, the former guard of the Shunzhou Prefecture Army.

It has to be said that the failure and fall of Rencheng and Su Wei's surrender have still hit the various counties of Songzhou Prefecture. In particular, Su Wei's proactive persuasion to surrender. This Songzhou Prefecture is different from Jiyin Prefecture in the north.

Yinfu is the second capital of the Yanzhou Prefecture Army and the old nest of Xu Jie. Therefore, Xu Jie was more attentive in management. However, the Songzhou Prefecture is different. In addition to its location in the south, it is also related to the invasion of the Wuwei Army.

Although it only occupied the three counties, Xu Jie regarded this place as the front line of war between the two sides, mainly military. However, with the deployment of the Shanyang Army, some of the defenses here were taken over by the Shanyang Army in the south.
