The sound of hoofbeats behind them was getting closer and closer, and the loyal soldiers turned around crazily and rushed toward the cavalry.
Luo Shixin's horse was almost injured several times by those dead soldiers who reflected the attack. He couldn't help but become furious and stopped holding back. He fired the steel spear like a poisonous dragon, frequently reaping lives.
Li Shimin, who was not far behind him, fired his bow repeatedly, shot several over and then shouted sharply at Luo Shixin.
"Lao Luo, it's a big fish. This guy is so brave and not afraid of death. He must be protecting the big fish."
After hearing Li Shimin's greeting, Luo Shixin glanced at him and stopped entangled with the retreating rear formation.
Leading dozens of riders, he rushed to the front desperately, looking back and firing his bow.
After the people who were at the forefront were shot and wounded dozens of people one after another, their momentum of running forward couldn't help but stagnate.
Taking advantage of this time, Li Shimin and the remaining cavalry rushed to the front to block the way. More than two hundred cavalrymen bowed their bows and shouted loudly and knelt down to surrender.
Finally, the stagnant defeated troops became hesitant.
The ordinary people who were trapped in it had already prostrated themselves on the ground, and the hundreds of thieves holding sharp swords instantly became particularly eye-catching.
The stiff bow in Luo Shixin's hand was like a full moon, pointed at the traitor soldiers.
"Luo Mou said for the last time, put down the weapons in your hands, kneel down and surrender!"
Behind them, a group of about a thousand strong soldiers were rushing towards this side.
The thought of breaking through the two hundred horses and jumping into the canal a hundred steps away has now become a delusion.
"I am willing to surrender, but please give me a way to survive." Not all of these close friends are unafraid when facing imminent death.
The dozen or so dead soldiers threw away their weapons and started shouting.
"I am willing to pay my dues and make meritorious service. Liu Yuanjin and Guan Chong are here. They..."
Before he finished speaking, several dead soldiers on the side raised their hands and chopped him down. However, these dead soldiers who took action were also turned into hedgehogs by the arrows.
"Who is Liu Yuanjin and who is Guan Chong?" Li Shimin's eyes searched the crowd nervously.
"Say!" Luo Shixin nocked an arrow again.
At this time, Liu Yuanjin sighed helplessly and bitterly, raised his hand and gently pushed away the confidant who was blocking him, and saluted Luo Shixin. "I'm waiting to surrender..."
"Who are you?!" Luo Shixin moved the carved feather arrow in his hand towards Liu Yuanjin who spoke, and shouted sternly.
"This is Liu Yuanjin."
"I am Guan Chong. Your Majesty, I do not want to surrender, so I have to take the first step."
The tall and burly Guan Chong shouted loudly, raised the ring-headed long knife in his hand, and cut himself to death.
When Liu Yuanjin saw the tall and burly Guan Chong collapsed in front of him, he couldn't help but close his eyes in despair.
"It's actually Liu Yuanjin?! Haha, the big fish is here! Thief Liu is here!"
Liu Yuanjin was captured without hesitation, and the news that Guan Chong had committed suicide spread quickly throughout the battlefield. The Liu thieves who had lost their backbone broke out and finally surrendered with their weapons.
Looking at the densely packed and dark surrendering troops outside the camp that was burning with soaring flames, Yang Qian let out a long sigh of relief.
In this battle, there were more than 80,000 bandit soldiers, about 3,000 died in the battle, more than 30,000 escaped, and the remaining 45,000 became prisoners of war.
The more than 30,000 people who escaped were mostly young and strong thieves. Of the more than 45,000 people who remained, women and children accounted for more than half.
While Yang Qian ordered people to deliver the good news to the capital, he also ordered Liu Yuanjin, the rebel leader, to be sent to the eastern capital.
Regarding the disposal of these prisoners of war, with the previous Zixin Town as a precedent, the next step will naturally be much easier.
Among the more than 45,000 people, only about 10,000 were young and strong. Yang Qian happily asked them to carry their tools and began to build a town similar to Zixin Town ten miles south of Jiangyang City.
Regarding Yang Qian's proposal, a group of officials who came from all over Jiangdu County were full of flattery and compliments.
"Yang Juncheng's move is really clever. Fortunately, you had the foresight to establish a new town in the north of Jiangyang City."
"With such an example, the placement of prisoners of war this time will be much more convenient, and it will also allow people from the new town to come and speak out."
"But this new village should also have a name. The previous village was named Zixin Town. Well... although it's not catchy, it still has a lot of meaning."
"It makes sense. I wonder what name Yang Juncheng wants to give this new village this time?"
Seeing the looks from the officials, Yang Qian opened his mouth and opened his mouth to speak, when he saw Changsun Wuji standing next to him shaking his head repeatedly.
Yang Qian had already made up his mind. No, Yang Qian had already prepared several township names when establishing Zixin Town.
"Since the first town is called Zixin Town, how about calling this town Repentance Town?"
"..." All the officials stared dumbfounded at Yang Qian, the talented and knowledgeable county magistrate.
I never thought that his naming ability would be so weak. He is simply a genius at naming. It can be described as unpleasant.
If you repent and rehabilitate yourself, if you capture some prisoners of war next time and build a new town, what should you call it? Should you call it Guo Zi Town, regret self town, or regret new town?
#####
"Jun Cheng, isn't this name too, too abrupt? I feel like it doesn't fit in with the overall style of our Jiangdu County."
"The previous Zixin Town was quite good, but this Repentance Town makes people feel uncomfortable..."
Yang Qian waved his hand, his face unquestionable.
“It’s precisely because it’s not pleasing to the ear that it remains fresh in people’s minds and leaves a deep impression.”
"Previously, the plaque of Zixin Town that I asked Your Majesty to write has arrived in Jiangdu County, and the official name of the town has also been handed over to me. There is no need to say anything more about it."
"..."
Changsun Wuji looked at Yang Qian's handsome yet selfless face, and looked up at the sky with despair.
With such an ugly and scumbag name, you dare to report it to the emperor, and Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, actually followed you to fool around with you. It's really enough.
Before the meeting ended, a man hurriedly rushed in from outside the hall and prostrated himself on the ground. He brought news that surprised all the Jiangdu County officials present, but was not entirely surprising.
Jiangdu stayed behind, and Yu Wenkai, the Minister of Industry of the Sui Dynasty, finally failed to survive. He suffered on the hospital bed for two months and finally passed away...
During this period, even though he was so ill that he had to rest in bed, he still lay in the carriage and visited both Jiangdu Palace and Yang Palace.
He gave suggestions for repairs, but now, the repair work of the two palaces has not been completed. This famous architect in the Sui Dynasty has closed his eyes.
All Yang Qian could do was to quickly express his condolences to the emperor, and at the same time visit him personally to express condolences and appease his accompanying family members.
At this time, Uncle De came from Dongdu and brought a thick letter home.
