After nightfall, Gao Fei ordered all the troops and horses, and all 3,500 people took advantage of the night to drive northeast. The road of thirty miles was not far. Gao Fei led the cavalry in front, and Liao Hua led the infantry behind.
At midnight, they all arrived near the newly built pier.
Looking at the beach near the sea, the lights are bright, and large camps are standing there. There are four small camps around it, and a large camp in the middle. Judging from the distribution of troops, Li Yizi's private soldiers are outside, and those
Including newly recruited civilian husbands.
Gao Fei hid in the dark, observed from a distance for a while, and then said to a few people around him: "It seems that Li Yizi and Gongsun Fan are not very vigilant. There are no sentries around. Li Tie, you take five
One hundred people go around to the due north; Zhou Cang, you take 500 people to the northwest; Wenpin, you take 500 people to the west; Liao Hua, you take 500 people to the southwest; the rest are with me
Due south."
"No!" everyone replied in unison.
Gao Fei then said: "Li Tie, Zhou Cang, Wenpin, and Liao Hua, the four of you have guarded the intersection for me. You only need to wave the flag and shout, don't take the initiative to attack, and act as a suspect. The rest of you will follow."
I'll go and set up a position to attack from the south."
Zhong Yao said hurriedly: "Lord, if we attack like this, will it affect those innocent people? From my perspective, I'd better let my subordinates go and persuade Li Yizi."
Gao Fei said: "Even if you want to persuade, you have to have the capital. If you don't let Li Yizi believe that our army is coming, how can they accept your persuasion. I can understand Mr. Zhong's sympathy for the people. Please rest assured that this time it is just a feint."
, It’s just to scare Li Yizi, it’s not a real fight.”
Zhong Yao said: "I understand, I will obey my lord's arrangements in everything."
After the discussion was settled, Li Tie, Zhou Cang, Wenpin, and Liao Hua each led five hundred cavalry to make a detour, and unknowingly surrounded the five camps at the dock.
Gao Fei took Chen, and Zhong Yao and 1,500 horse infantry arrived due south. After the other four directions were ready to send people to notify Gao Fei, Gao Fei began to attack the soldiers near the dock.
Feint attack.
There were five camps lined up in a row. Gongsun Fan and Li Yizi were drinking in the middle camp, with two beauties waiting on each side to drink. When the two were drinking happily, they suddenly heard a noise coming from the south.
Gongsun Fan was alert to the shouts and immediately heard the sound of horse hooves. He immediately ran out of the camp and bumped into the soldier who came to report. He immediately grabbed the man's collar and asked loudly: "Outside
What happened?"
The soldier replied tremblingly: "General Qi, it's the cavalry... Gao Fei's cavalry is here..."
"How many people came?"
"It's hard to distinguish in the night, I can't see clearly, I just feel like it's everywhere..."
Gongsun Fan pushed the soldier away with force, and rushed to Li Yizi in the tent: "Come out, Gao Fei's troops are here, lead your troops to fight!"
Li Yizi was always a businessman, and he didn't have much ability. He could deal with ordinary people with his gathered subordinates, but he didn't have the momentum to deal with the army. As soon as he heard that Gao Fei's troops had arrived, he was startled.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Gongsun Fan went into the tent to get his iron spear, called a horse outside the tent, and ordered all the men in the camp who had just been trained for less than ten days to lead them out of the camp towards the south.
Go to the village gate.
The five camps were connected together to form a large camp, with the sea to the east and only one gate to the south. Gongsun Fan took the lead and led Li Yizi and his private soldiers to the gate with his rough-made soldiers and horses.
.
Suddenly, loud shouts rang out from the four directions of due north, northwest, due west, and southwest at the same time. They were consistent with the high-flying soldiers and horses displayed in front of the village gate, and together they shocked the soldiers in the camp.
Everyone in the camp suddenly panicked and thought they were surrounded. Even Li Yizi almost fell off his horse in fright. Those civilians who were unwilling to join the army retreated without fighting. Li Yizi's
The private soldiers were also frightened.
Gao Fei led his troops outside the gate of the camp. When he saw the soldiers in the camp starting to panic, a smile appeared on his face. For these rabble, in his eyes, even those who were making trouble with the Yellow Turbans
Not as good as anything.
"My lord is really clever. He only used the trick of doubting the soldiers to make everyone in the enemy in danger. The camp has begun to be chaotic. It's better to kill the general now and get Gongsun Fan's head." Chen Dao is eager to make a contribution.
, said to Gaofei.
Gao Fei waved his hand and said: "No, you don't need to use swords or guns to deal with them. Let the soldiers shout together that as long as Gongsun Fan is handed over, they will be spared."
When Chen arrived, Zhong Yao thought about it for a moment, then they all held their hands together and said, "My lord is wise."
In the camp, Gongsun Fan saw that the soldiers had become confused and killed three people in a row, but it had no effect at all.
At this time, shouts suddenly came from outside the camp, saying that they had been surrounded by an army of 30,000 men, and Gongsun Fan was the only one to blame, and everyone should be handed over to Gongsun Fan to avoid death.
Li Yizi heard this very clearly. Although he and Gongsun Zan were brothers, he knew very well that they were using each other. When Gongsun Zan went to join the alliance, Gongsun Fan stayed in Youbeiping, and was later led by Zhang He.
was defeated, Gongsun Fan took advantage of the chaos
He escaped, hid in Li Yizi's house, and instigated Li Yizi to occupy the Quanzhou Iron Factory and Salt Factory, and then tricked Li Yizi into recruiting civilians to train soldiers in the name of building docks. At this moment, he saw that Gongsun Fan's plan was completely exposed.
, in order to survive, I can’t care so much.
Gongsun Fan rode on horseback and stabbed two more people to death with a spear, and shouted loudly: "Don't mess up! Whoever messes up again will end up with them..."
The voice suddenly stopped, and then there was a scream. More than a dozen civilians around Gongsun Fan raised their spears and stabbed Gongsun Fan to death together.
Li Yizi originally wanted to kill Gongsun Fan to protect himself, but he didn't know that those peasants would be one step ahead of him. When he saw the out-of-control peasants looking at him with ferocious faces, he quickly got off his horse and shouted
: "I surrender, I surrender, I was forced, Gongsun Fan held me hostage..."
There was another scream, and the angry civilians raised their swords and guns and killed Li Yizi directly. Seeing this, the private soldiers were afraid of being retaliated by these civilians, so they dropped their weapons and ran out of the camp.
, kneeling in front of Gao Fei and others, shouting surrender.
Things in the camp have gone beyond Gao Fei, Chen Dao, and Zhong Yao's imagination. They killed Gongsun Fan and Li Yizi without taking action themselves. When they saw the private soldiers coming to surrender, the civilians followed closely.
After surrendering, Gao Fei asked Chen Dao to lead people to collect the weapons.
Gao Fei said to himself: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. I have seen it with my own eyes today..."
Zhong Yao didn't understand what he heard, so he asked: "Lord, what does this mean?"
Gao Fei explained: "The people are like water, and the people who rule them are boats. If you go against the grain, you will be counterattacked by the people. This is what I am talking about."
Zhong Yao understood and immediately said to Gao Fei: "Don't worry, my lord. Since my lord has handed over Yuyang County to his subordinates, he must manage Yuyang County well so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. This will not happen again."
Something similar."
Gao Fei felt very relieved after hearing this and didn't say anything.
At dawn, Gao Fei defeated Li Yizi and Gongsun Fan without any blood last night. He handed over all the 3,000 private soldiers who surrendered to Liao Hua, and hired all the remaining 9,000 civilians to build the wharf.
and distributed money and food.
In the camp, Gao Fei gathered the generals and said to them: "Everyone worked hard last night. When I return to Jicheng, I will reward you well."
"We will serve the lord without any regrets!" everyone replied together.
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Master Zhong, the population of Yongnu County has always been very small. There was a plague there before, and the county basically became a dead city. Yongnu and Quanzhou are both small counties, and they are both close to the sea. I plan to
Yongnu and Quanzhou were combined into one, and an important town was set up here to prevent Gongsun Zan from Bohai County from harassing it, so let's call this place Tianjin."
Zhong Yao said: "I don't have any objections. It's just that such an important town must be guarded by heavy troops and good generals. Shisun You is not a good general. I hope that the lord will send capable people to guard it."
Gao Fei said: "I have already chosen the candidate. Liao Hua performed very well in this incident. He is worthy of being one of the Eighteen Hussars of Youzhou. I plan to hand over Tianjin to Liao Hua to guard it. Tianjin will become an independent city."
An important town, like Fan Yang, will directly accept my jurisdiction and be separated from Yuyang County. Lord Zhong will govern Yuyang with all his heart, and Liao Hua will guard Tianjin, one in the south and one in the north. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Zhong Yao said: "I don't have any objections."
Liao Hua said: "Thank you so much, my lord, my subordinates will stick to Tianjin."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Li Tie, you, the military guard captain, will obey Liao Hua's orders for the time being. You don't need to take the three thousand cavalry back with you. In addition to the original one thousand soldiers here and the three thousand private soldiers who surrendered, there are seven in total."
Thousands of people, set up checkpoints at the border with Bohai County and guard this place well."
"promise!"
"Chen Dao, Wenpin, and Zhou Cang, the three of you will return to Jicheng with me after I complete the renovation of the iron factory."
"promise!"
In the next few days, the wharf was under construction under the leadership of Shi Sunyou. Liao Hua and Li Tie began to take charge of Tianjin and sent scouts to the area bordering Bohai County. Gao Fei took Chen Dao and Wen
After hiring him, Zhou Cang first confiscated Li Yizi's property, and then distributed Li Yizi's grain reserves to the people of Tianjin, which won the support of the people.
After the transformation of the iron factory was completed, Gao Fei took Chen Dao, Wenpin, and Zhou Cang back to Jicheng and handed over all military and political power in Tianjin to Liao Hua.
