No shortage of walls

Yi Zhouquan was busy for four days. He gathered the Wu soldiers in one place and ordered them to stand by with strong arrows and swords, waiting for the imperial decree. According to statistics, nearly 6,000 Song soldiers died. The Wu people defended the city, and nearly 10,000 of them died. The remaining people were killed in the city, more than 4,000, and 70,203 surrendered. The money and silver were not counted. The generals first reported the incident to the court. After the follow-up inventory is completed, just report it again.

But Wu is still a prosperous country, with mountains of gold, silver, grain and grass in the pass.

Within ten days, the emperor's decree will arrive.

First, give Yi Zhouquan a strong compliment, indicating that this move is still revenge. Last time, the Wu army slaughtered Sui Gong, but put the shit plate on the heads of the Song people. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were bloody, and they had to live and die. Be clear about it, but never take the blame.

Secondly, the sergeants in the city will be retained if they surrender; if they do not surrender, the city gates will be opened and closed, and only men will be sent out, but no weapons or horses will be sent out.

Third, comfort the people and allow them to come and go freely, but those who oppose the Song Dynasty will be killed.

Fourth, the people from the Ministry of National Security and the political officials should slow down. They will arrive in two or three days. They can hand over the management matters and focus on defending the city.

Fifth. Liu Hejun's entire army took a three-month leave. Together with Shengzhou Guanjia and Yi Zhouquan, he took the entire army on leave and would not stop fighting until the war began. Three months later, he redeployed 5,000 troops and led 20,000 troops northward to guard Yunshan Pass.

Six. In the future, they will be guarded for a maximum of three years, which will be rotated according to the situation. Try to change them once a year to relieve the sergeant's homesickness.

Seventh, the newspaper was then distributed nationwide to inform the world

……

Sixth, there is actually no other way. Emperor Song Xing has no other way. He changes every three years and there are not that many people left.

The Song Dynasty needs sergeants, and there are many newly returned soldiers, but they are not assured. Should the Liao people guard the Liao Dynasty?

But as soon as the newspaper came out, the whole army cheered. It was changed every year. It was so cool, especially after three months of vacation.

……

At dawn, Huangzhou City was broken from the north, and war drums sounded on the city. Xiangzhou Guards Ye Chongwei withdrew his troops and returned to Xiangzhou. He and General Zhao Deru had already discussed that since the city was gathered together, it would be handed over to General Zhao.

The prince was deposed the day before yesterday, and he and Zhao Deru were generals. This can be regarded as earning enough face for the second prince. As long as the second prince is appointed heir apparent, his future will be bright.

However, no matter how good people are, they are still not as good as God. Halfway back, just halfway between Xiangzhou and Huangzhou, I met Zhu Hongwu, the second-rank general of Wu State.

Zhu Hongwu saw the fireworks in Huangzhou and hurriedly came with his Qingqi. However, after a while, the Pingyang fireworks in Qingzhou started again. At this time, the situation was urgent, but there were only 20,000 Qingqi. After careful consideration, Lu Yao should have no problem supporting him for a day, so he led his troops to Huangzhou.

Before reaching Huangzhou, the enemy came back, all cavalry, and Ye Chongwei's sergeants were already very tired after fighting for half the night.

Xiangzhou and Huangzhou are only about a hundred miles apart, probably about a hundred and twenty miles apart. This plan was originally made because it was close to the road. Although there were risks, the results were huge. It had not been long since Lu Yao and the other party had switched defenses. No matter who Wu Guo sent, they would not come so quickly.

Everything is as planned.

In fact, it was all according to plan. Zhu Hongwu planned to wait for the food and fodder to arrive, and would not attack until noon tomorrow at the earliest. However, the fireworks were sent, and he did not have all the supplies.

Countries like this are sending out orders with fireworks. Does it mean that I have to wait until everything is ready before going to war? How far is it from the country's subjugation?

Although Zhu Hongwu failed to save Huangzhou and capture Xiangzhou, he did not allow any of the more than 8,000 Qi people to return to Xiangzhou City.

In fact, Huangzhou was not stable and no one dared to come out to help. Xiangzhou Ye Chongwei had already brought 12,000 soldiers out to attack Huangzhou City. There are less than eight thousand soldiers in Xiangzhou City, and the two sides are fifty or sixty miles apart.

You may not know it once you arrive. Secondly, I knew it was too late to send troops.

Twenty thousand cavalrymen wiped out eight thousand sergeants who had been fighting for half the night. It was too late to send troops from both sides.

Ye Chongwei actually knew that it was a bad idea to take the risk of sending troops from Xiangzhou. The Wu people already knew that Huangzhou's defenses were too tight. If they only attacked the city from the north, it would be difficult for him and Zhao Deru to defeat the two armies. Those who came down originally thought that they would return after capturing it and let Zhao Deru take care of it. If they entered from the south, they would enter Qi and then exit. In addition, there is no other way to prevent the Song State from taking advantage of the situation.

The original plan was to enter from the south first, but who would have thought that the north gate would be breached first!

Things in the world are not as good as imagined.

May all your wishes come true.

It's a blessing.

After Yi Zhouquan received the imperial edict, he immediately sent a message to Pingyang Pass. On the third day, more than 4,000 surrendered soldiers were escorted to the east gate.

The news that no one was left in the Qi army had already spread, and they were escorted away. Many people in the crowd were very worried and dejected, but they were unarmed, and there were knives and crossbows around them.

Yi Zhouquan stood at the highest point. Shouted:"Fellow Wu Jun! Folks! Long live my emperor's decree! If you want to go back, rush out as soon as the door opens! Our sergeants are ready to open the door! The Song people are not like the Qi people! We will not massacre the city! If you want Join the Song Army and stay! Don't be afraid! More than ten days have passed! We are going to kill you! Don't wait until now!"

The crowd fell silent. They were all very surprised, thinking that they were being pushed together to kill. A bold man in the crowd shouted:"You won't shoot us while we are out of the city?"

Yi Zhouquan said:"The bows and arrows on the city wall are to prevent your Wu army from attacking the city.! Remember what I said! Don’t run too slow! Run too slow! I will think that you are waiting for the city gate for Wu Jun, and the sergeant below will kill you!"

The man shouted again:"But we are going back! From now on! I will beat you too!"

Yi Zhouquan smiled. He said:"Welcome to attack the city! Get ready!"

After a while, someone on the city wall made a gesture.

Yi Zhouquan said:"Although my commander is in Qingzhou, it is the same in Pingyang. He will let you out. Get ready!"

At that moment, the city gates opened and all the soldiers rushed away. In an instant, most of them had left, but only seventy or eighty people remained.

Yi Zhouquan ordered people to close the city gate. Once the city gate was closed, the soldiers on the city put away their bows and arrows. Those who escaped thought they were dreaming, but the enemy did not release their arrows, so they ran towards the imperial city.

Yi Zhouquan said:"Those who are not running away, do you want to join the Song Dynasty?"

One person said:"Actually, we are from the city."

Yi Zhouquan said:"Then go home." He waved his hands and all the sergeants Get out of the way.

Yi Zhouquan said:"Fellow folks, you are already the people of the Song Dynasty. If my emperor does not kill the people of the Song Dynasty, from now on, you will be exempted from taxes for two years. Maybe you will ask, why are there five years of exemption in other places? Because only Qing Dynasty If Zhou Pingyang returns to the Song Dynasty, he will be exempted from taxes for only two years. If Wu returns to the Song Dynasty, my emperor may be exempted from taxes for five years. Everyone, remember that you are from the Song Dynasty, and you can live as you did before; from now on, you will use the laws of the Song Dynasty. As for wealthy families who have money, they should do business if they should do it. We Song people are not like the Qi people who grab money. As for the treasury silver in the city, don’t worry that we will move it away. What about two years of tax exemption? Officials still have to pay their salaries. We have to get money from the Song State to pay our salaries, and the salaries of your officials are lower than those of our Song State. From next month, they will be the same as those of the Song State, and we are all from the Song State."
