Cao Bianjiao led two hundred cavalry through the city in the shortest time, and separately controlled the city gates. His actions were so fast that the entire Beijing camp was still confused. It was only after the Jinzhou Army Infantry Battalion suddenly came along the street that they came to their senses.
It’s the Liao army coming!
As Shi Dayong expected, after the soldiers of the Liao army shouted the military order slogan "violators will be killed immediately", most of the soldiers in the Beijing camp gave up resistance, tied up their hands, and obeyed the arrangements of the Jinzhou army honestly.
In fact, if the men and horses of the Beijing camp were gathered in one place, it would not be easy for Dayong's 700 men to capture them all at once.
However, after Pei Shaokuan entered the city, he herded his men throughout the city like livestock without any deployment at all. He only intimidated Xianghe County to provide prostitutes for fun, and did not care about what the soldiers were doing.
The officers under his command also followed suit. At this moment, just like Pei Shaokuan, the officers were busy eating, drinking, having fun, and extorting good people, so there was no chance of them being wary at all.
Moreover, Shi's troops suddenly entered the city, and there were cavalry to help. In addition, the news of the Liao army's victory over the Eastern captives in Jinzhou had already spread. Therefore, when the soldiers in the Beijing camp heard that the opponent was the Liao army, how could they dare to fight them?
contend.[
In fact, it can also be said that these Beijing soldiers had a guilty conscience and did shameful things. They were suddenly bumped into and wanted to escape quickly. How could they have thought that they were also soldiers?
The Jinzhou Army was surprised. They attacked with more and outnumbered them. They took control of Xicheng within half a stick of incense and gathered more than 400 soldiers from the capital camp. The rest panicked and fled in all directions. Some fled to the outside of the city, and some ran away.
To report to the officer.
Jiang Wanli and others came to report that they had surrendered the weapons of more than 500 soldiers from the Beijing camp and were now searching other areas in the city. They did not encounter any resistance during the entire operation.
Cao Bianjiao also sent people to report that the city gate had been completely controlled. He also captured dozens of soldiers from the Beijing camp who wanted to leave the city and now detained them on the spot.
Everything went well. Shi Dayong was in a good mood. He reined in his horse and told Guo Yidao: "Send the order and tell Jiang Guards to move faster. After half an hour, I don't want to see another Beijing camp soldier in the city."
It was almost sunset and the camp had not yet been set up. Shi Dayong wanted to quickly settle the matters in the Beijing camp and then leave the city to set up camp. Otherwise, if the matter dragged on, where would the soldiers sleep at night?
"Yes, general!" Guo Yi responded and rode his horse to deliver the order.
But Shi Dayong stopped him again and told him: "Tell Jiang to guard them, and while gathering the capital camp, they must not disturb the people. Anyone who disobeys the order will also be killed!"
"Yes, General!"
Guo Yi nodded vigorously, led two soldiers and galloped to deliver the order.
After hearing Shi Dayong's new order, Jiang Wanli, Shao Wu, Li Dashan and other generals immediately led their troops to speed up the investigation. The capital camp soldiers in Xicheng were the largest. Once this bulk was eliminated, the rest would be real stragglers.
Therefore, the progress was very fast. Those soldiers in the Beijing camp knew that they could not escape, so many took the initiative to accept the arrangements of the Liao army.
From time to time, Jinzhou soldiers came out of the city escorting disarmed soldiers from the Beijing camp. Seeing Shi Dayong on horseback wearing a mask, the soldiers from the Beijing camp were very curious. Although their weapons had been surrendered, these people had nothing to be ashamed of.
He looked frightened, and after thinking about it, he knew that the other party was also an officer and it was impossible to kill them.
Shi Dayong was too lazy to look at these oily-looking Beijing soldiers, and thought to himself, if the emperor saw these soldiers, I wonder what he would think.
After a while, Shaowu sent someone to escort a group of people who were not soldiers from the Beijing camp, but those who wanted to fish in troubled waters. They took advantage of the chaos in the city and relied on their familiarity with the terrain to avoid the soldiers from the Beijing camp in a secluded corner.
They were trying to blackmail passers-by who were hiding. I originally thought I could make some money along the way, but I didn't expect that this time I was also unlucky. I was arrested together by the Jinzhou soldiers who were investigating carefully. It was really hard to tell.
Shi Dayong wanted soldiers from the Beijing camp. He was not interested in these Xianghe soldiers, so he asked someone to hand them over to Xianghe County.
"Report!"
Seeing that the matter was about to end, when Shi Dayong was about to ask someone to escort the officers from the Beijing camp, Guo Yi hurried over on horseback.
Seeing that he looked very anxious, as if something had happened, Shi Dayong was startled and knew that something must have gone wrong.
"What happened?" Shi Dayong frowned slightly.[
Guo Yi didn't have time to take a breath and said in a panic: "When Shao Shoubei led his troops to investigate Nancheng, they were resisted by more than a hundred soldiers from the Beijing camp. Shao Shoubei was worried that the situation would escalate and did not dare to act on his own. He asked me to report to the general and ask him to make a decision!
"
Dare the soldiers from the Beijing camp resist?
Shi Dayong was surprised by this news, which was somewhat beyond his expectation. He glanced in the direction of Nancheng and asked Guo Yi: "Do you know who is leading the resistance?"
Guo Yidao: "Shao Shoubei said he was some kind of commander in the Beijing camp."
Could it be Pei Shaokuan?
Shi Dayong thought for a moment and thought that Pei Shaokuan was the commanding officer of the Beijing camp. He originally thought that this man's official position was hereditary and he must be a dandy, a loser without courage. He didn't expect that this guy actually had some backbone and dared to lead troops to resist.
.
My military order has been passed, and anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot. Now that Pei Shaoguan is resisting, do you really want to kill this fourth-level commander?
Shi Dayong shook his head in embarrassment. He was just angry when he heard that the Beijing camp soldiers were misbehaving in the city. He thought that these Beijing camp soldiers were under his command. If they were not disciplined, they would definitely hinder him. That's why he wanted to
Go into the city and give them a warning, frighten them, so that they can obey the command when they go south. If it is true, they will kill the people in the Beijing camp.
Not to mention giving Shi Dayong another courage, even a hundred of them would not dare to do so, because the soldiers in the Beijing camp are legitimate soldiers of the emperor. Even the Ministry of War does not dare to handle it without authorization. Everything is decided by the emperor himself. He Shi Dayong
How many brains are there who dare to kill the Emperor's personal soldiers?
But if he fails to carry out military orders, wouldn't he slap himself in the mouth and lose his prestige in front of his subordinates?
Pei Shaokuan, Pei Shaokuan, you really gave me a difficult problem.
Shi Dayong was anxious and didn't know how to deal with this matter. Now he was riding a tiger and regretted that he didn't listen to Cao Bianjiao's advice. But now that the matter has happened, as the chief general of the Jinzhou Army, he must take action
, Otherwise, how can we unite the troops?
He raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of Zhao Wenqi, who had a frown on his face and was angry at several government officials. He didn't know where the anger in Xianghe County came from, and he was cursing himself endlessly. Shi Dayong gave a bitter smile and looked away, but a flash of inspiration came to his mind.
Shen couldn't help but laugh: Yes, you, Pei Shaokuan, are already my subordinates. Now I ask you to come by yourself. Do you dare to come?
If you don't come, I can punish you with military law! At that time, even if you are really killed, the emperor will have nothing to say!
