Chapter 15 Lulong
There were 30,000 to 40,000 people in Pingzhou. After repeated wars, the population in the palace increased instead of decreasing. A large number of refugees came in crowded, but the population in Lulong County was no less than 30,000.
In the Luanzhou Prefecture Yamen, Zhang Chengyan, who arrived later, sat first in Hu Yangeng's left hand.
"Luanzhou has been removed, and Lu Long should be taken."
Zhang Chengyan stood up: "There will be old friends in Lulong and Yingzhou, and the last one will be willing to take them." He also wanted to use Pingzhou as his step forward, but he had to make some real contributions.
Lulong County is not big, and the city gates are closed early in the season of chaos. The red scarf sneaks all the way, but no one touches them. Outside the county, the fields are fertile, clear water flows through the stream, and big trees form forests. Looking west, in the vast night, the distant mountains are like lines, rising and falling.
Zhang Chengyan brought about twenty trusted men, changed into Jin soldiers' clothes, and set out first.
To grab the city, of course, we cannot let the horse wait outside the city. Hu Yangeng asked Tieda to lead him to lurk on a hill twenty miles outside Lulong City.
After a moment, the city gate was dark and silent.
There seemed to be a shout coming from the city gate, but it was not true. Hu Yangeng listened intently again, and Hulau lazily, hundreds of people shouted together. After some screams of death, the city gate opened with a bang. Inside the city gate, there was a point, followed by a torch. A bright road was displayed in Lulong City.
Hu Yangeng calmed down at this time. He jumped up, got on his horse, raised his gun, looked back, and shouted loudly: "Start and seize the city."
A land of several miles will arrive in a moment.
According to the prior deployment, Yang Kefa led thirty or fifty people and rushed to the front; Zhang Chengyan, who was fighting in the city gate, firmly grasped the city gate.
Hu Yangeng led the brigade behind, and it was like chopping melons and cutting vegetables, knocking away the Jin soldiers and breaking into the city.
In the quiet city, as Hu Yangeng and others entered the city, they became frightened. The residents who woke up from their sleep guessed what happened at the first time.
The smoke and dust roll, the roar of the dog; the children cried, the adults were afraid. The troubles were everywhere, and the lights were turned on and then gone. Small households locked the doors and looked boldly.
The wealthy and wealthy family jumped up in a mess, drove away slaves and maids, cleaned up the fine and soft things, and hid gold and silver; cleverly urged the flag of the people to follow.
At the gate of the city, Hu Yangeng caught Yang Kefa and Zhang Chengyan. They guided the brigade and divided the troops into three groups. Yang Kefa commanded the command and rushed to the camp of the garrison in the city. Hu Yangeng led the team to the government office and arrested all the officials of all sizes and big and small at home. Gao Chong led the troops to wipe out another city gate defender, and captured granaries, warehouses and other places.
Lulong has two city gates, one in the east city and the other in the west city.
The camp was between the two city gates and was alarmed by the riots in the city. Two teams of infantry had just left the camp gate. Yang Kefa charged forward, and the Jin soldiers were all over the place where they passed by, and they were crying and howling.
The two teams of Jin soldiers were defeated in just a few seconds, leaving one team to kill them. The rest rushed into the camp. The opponent was unable to prepare, the cavalry did not get on horseback, and many infantrymen had no weapons.
The battle lasted half an hour before it was declared over. More than a thousand Jin soldiers killed more than 500 people, and all the remaining surrendered.
The two gates of the east and west came to report one after another: the city gates fell into my hands, and none of the Tartars guarding the gate escaped.
The next urgent task is to appease the city and calm the people.
Hu Yangeng selected several heads, each with a headquarters, ran back and forth, and read the Anmin notice loudly. The city gradually became quiet, and occasionally a few weapons attacked each other, screamed, and begged for mercy. It was the patrol soldiers who encountered the traitor who had missed the net or took the opportunity to cause trouble.
Fortunately, Lu Long is a county town after all, with Hu Yangeng not many people, and they are all collective actions, so no disturbances happened.
The torches were lit up and the lights were brightly lit. The generals in the hall, the red scarves and red jackets were covered with smoke, and they all smiled happily and kept their voices happy.
Zhang Chengyan took a step forward: "Before the news has not leaked, we should cheat Yingzhou."
"Does Nanshan have internal supporters in Yingzhou?"
“That’s right.”
"Okay, Nanshan, you take the headquarters first, and I will come later."
Hu Yangeng asked Tieda to lead 200 soldiers to garrison Lu Long to guard the prisoners, and specially told him that if the prisoners have any abnormal movements, they would be killed immediately and safety first.
The city of Yingzhou is broken! It is easier than Lulong. Yingzhou is farthest from the Song Dynasty. It is neither like Lulong is a mansion city nor Luanzhou is a major river road. There are only more than 200 garrisons. Zhang Chengyan arrived at the city, and the news that Lulong and Luanzhou were broken had not yet been heard. Nearly a thousand of his subordinates entered the city wearing people's clothes. After entering the city, they tied a red scarf on their right arm as marks, and raised fire as a trumpet at night. Two commanders attacked the barracks and the prefecture yamen, and then occupied Yingzhou.
The entire three cities of Pingzhou were occupied within three days, but Zhang Chengyan was worried: "Pingzhou is just under the eyes of the Jin people, what should I do?" He suggested Hu Yangeng: "Hurry up and seek rewards by the imperial court in Pingzhou." His intention was that as soon as the rewards were received, he threw Pingzhou and ran away.
"Not as simple as you think." Hu Yangeng was not afraid of the Jin soldiers coming immediately. Lu Long arrived in Yanjing for 400 miles, and Hejian also reached 400 miles. If the Jin soldiers arrived, if they could not defend, the solution would be the same, and retreat to the sea.
However, how to use Pingzhou is worth considering carefully.
In fact, Pingzhou is like a waste of money to the Jin soldiers, and it is a pity to eat it. But for Hu Yangeng, a needle was placed behind the Jin soldiers in Yanjing.
So Hu Yangeng comforted Zhang Chengyan first and asked him to stay in Pingzhou: "Pingzhou is Zhang Taining's foundation, and Geng must help Nanshan defend this place."
On the one hand, he reported to the court to inform the merits of seizing the three prefectures of Pingzhou, and on the other hand, he asked Zhao Bozhen to be in Luanzhou, and to serve as the authority of Pingzhou Prefecture and to take charge of Luanzhou affairs. At the same time, he asked Zhang Chengyan to issue the title of the people in the three prefectures and recruit new troops.
When writing the stamp, I felt very hot. I wiped the sweat from my head. Thinking of something, I added: "After I have obtained the three cities of Pingzhou, the Jin thieves in Yanjing came to me, holding the banner of the great chief Wanyan Olibu, I jumped onto the horse and stabbed a large leader under the horse. The northern barbarians wrapped them in red cloth and carried them away. The captains cried loudly."
This letter was delivered directly to the Privy Council and Zhu Fenglian. Zhu Fenglian asked Zhang Shuye during the morning court: "When Hu Yangeng seized the three prefectures of Pingzhou, this is a great merit. How does the Privy Council reward merit?"
Zhang Shu said at night: "The war has not been completed, so it is not appropriate to give a grand reward. I plan to add Huyan Geng Henghai Punishment Envoy to control the war and guard the Bohai Sea."
"Punishment envoy? I have never heard of this title."
Zhang Shu said at night: "The military rations in various towns in Hebei are not enough, so the military sanctuary was set up to collect salt and tea, so as to meet the military needs. The emperor provided financial resources and was exempted from power for three years. I heard that the commander was transferred to the court and did not follow the deputy, and the military was promoted to follow the advantage." That is, the military commander monopolized the army and had great wealth. Compared with the governors of the Tang Dynasty, there was no military axe.
A man next to him shouted: "This old Tang vassal state reappears today, and this is a disaster for the country." The person who screamed was Li Hui, the censor.
Zhu Fenglian was also very surprised: "The military rations in all the routes in Hebei are already so scarce. Do you need the troops to raise their own funds?"
Zhang Shu said at night: "The prefectures in Hebei have been repeatedly bribed for two years, and the counties in the western route have not been collected, and they all rely on Chang's warehouse to support them. Since Wang Bing, the second commander of Yang Weizhong's two commander of the Northern Expedition, Hebei has 250,000 troops and more than 60,000 troops were recruited for Zhongyi. Wang and Yang Ergu, have issued repeated documents to urge grain."
Zhang Shuye was not sure about the mysterious Xu in Hebei in Bianliang, and there was still some grain in Changping. However, Guo Yong was promoted and secretly surrendered to Hejian as a prison envoy. Zhang Yiqian directly took charge of Changping's warehouse, and the supply to the front-line army slowed down and only transported half of the army needed.
Zong Ze said: "It's not that Hebei lacks grain, but that the transportation department deducts grain and does not send it." He still has some suspicion in the Hebei army, and can report some real situation to him.
Huang Qianshan defended Zhang Yiqian, and at the same time impeached Hu Yangeng to provoke the border, and quarreled with Zong Ze.
Zhu Fenglian was a little annoyed and said, "How to deal with military rations in Hebei, and how to control the generals in Hebei. After the Prime Minister agreed, Mr. Li submitted a memorial and the Ai family would just be sealed. He also called on the other hand who was killed by Yan Geng. He could send spies to find out and earn the merits together with the capture of Pingzhou."
She was about to announce the dispersion of the dynasty, but suddenly added another sentence: "Zhao Bozhen and Zhang Yanju, from the beginning of Longde, have fought fiercely with the Jin thieves, and ordered Zhao Bozhen to be the governor of Pingzhou Prefecture, and also to be in charge of Luanzhou affairs, Zhang Yanju is the governor of Cangzhou, and lead the Hebei East Road Transportation Department to work in official business."
In Yanjing, all the Jin nobles were shirtless and were playing polo.
Most of the children on the polo field are the third generation of the Wanyan family, with the Jin Taizu Aguda team as the team, and the grandson of the current emperor Wu Qimai is the team.
In the viewing table beside, Wanyan Nianhan, Wanyan Eliduo, Wanyan Wushu, Wanyan Olibu, Wanyan Pu Land Rover and others sat side by side, watching the ball while drinking.
Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were also served by one side, wearing green clothes, and then prepared to pour wine for the Jurchen nobles.
At this time, Wu Qimai's second grandson scored a goal, and the Jurchen soldiers who were watching the field cheered in unison.
Wanyanpu Land Rover has a glamorous face.
Wanyan Nianhan waved Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji trotted to Nianhan and filled the wine cup for Nianhan.
Wanyan Nianhan said: "I heard that you are good at Cuju and polo. If you are interested, you can play the last game."
Zhao Ji said: "I sleep underground every day, and my back is sore, and I am really unable to play basketball."
"Then you write a poem. If it is well written, I will give you a blanket. Well, I will give you another concubine and warm your bed."
Zhao Ji remembered the situation when he was young and played football with his friends such as Gao Qiu. He couldn't help but feel emotion. He picked up his pen and wrote: "The horses in the brocade robe and horses are divided into the tile, and a hundred horses are running at one point. You must pass the lead. Don't let Chuo enter the inclined door."
Nian Han saw it and handed it to Liu Yanzong, the commander of the Han army beside him. Liu Yanzong said, "What a good poem."
Nianhan shouted happily: "Okay!"
So he asked Zhao Ji to read the poem again, and Nian Han said, "I'll add a bed for you, father and son."
Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan thank you.
Liu Yanzong was trying to pull Oli to not talk about the serious matters: "The prefectures and counties under Nanjing Road need to be sent to inspect them as soon as possible to collect autumn grain." After the Jin soldiers seized Yanjing, they were busy attacking the Song Dynasty. The system of surrounding prefectures and counties has not been established. Hu Yangeng has been conquering Pingzhou Prefecture for half a month, and Yanjing has not yet discovered it.
Wanyan Wuli was about to discuss with Liu Yanzong, but suddenly he made a loud noise. Wu Qimai's grandson scored another goal. The Jurchen warriors shouted, and some even shouted "Long live!"
Wanyan Wuli was furious and took a horse and went to the court with a club.
When he rode on the horse, he wiped his forehead and hadn't moved much, his head was covered in sweat. It was too hot this day.
He urged the horse to enter the court and shouted "Take!"
Chapter completed!
