Chapter 118: surrender

Views:

Although he was tired for a day, Liang Feng still got up early, because the person who led the team to seize the city last night had already returned to the county seat.

"My lord, last night, the two cities of Baixing went down, and a total of more than 130 people were wiped out." Even Yi Yan had a tired look after fighting all night.

"What about the casualties? Are you injured too?" Liang Feng's eyes were locked tightly on Yi Yan's body. Even if the other party changed into new clothes, he could still smell the light blood on his body.

"My subordinates only suffered some minor injuries to their arms. Seven people in the team were seriously injured, and none of them were killed." Unexpectedly, Yi Yan tightened his shoulders and neck and said in a low voice.

"That's good." Liang Feng breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. This siege efficiency and casualty ratio are much better than expected.

Just thinking about it for a moment, Liang Feng said: "First order someone to cut off the head of the Xiongnu and send it to the county town. After I use it up, I will send it to Huguan, and it will be built into a Jingguan under the city, which will shock the generals in the city. Huguan will definitely be able to It broke in one go."

The so-called "Jingguan" refers to the gathering of enemy corpses and sealing them into mounds for the purpose of showing off their force. And stacking people's heads into Jingguan, the shock and deterrence is naturally more powerful. It can be said to be a powerful catalyst for the already uncertain Huguan City, which can immediately make those generals who are riding the wall turn their backs and return to the Dongying public camp.

In the past, the lord did not like to beheaded for public display, so every beheading must have its purpose. Yi Yan said, "This subordinate will order someone to do it!"

"After finishing the treatment, you also need to rest for a while." In three battles a day, less wins more. People are not iron-clad. Of course, they need to rest and recover their strength.

Yi Yan shook his head: "I'm not tired!"

The situation was so complicated and treacherous, how could he leave the lord and cover his head to sleep

However, Liang Feng's tone was very firm: "Battle is a task, and so is rest. There are still 300 Xiongnu spirits riding outside. If you are exhausted, who will direct the trilogy? Take a nap and wait until you recover your strength."

Seeing the serious look of the person in front of him, Yi Yan barely suppressed the ups and downs in his heart and lowered his head: "Beside the lord, you should add a few more guards."

Liang Feng smiled: "This is natural."

In the prefect's mansion, many people also stayed up all night. These people just experienced a change of seizing the city more than ten days ago. The prefect was killed. Most of the officials below the main book were killed or injured. The military Sima, Gong Cao and others who were in charge of the rear army food supply also failed to escape the slaughter. The entire prefect's mansion was full of corpses, and the blood flowed into rivers, which really scared their courage. Some of the remaining people, some for survival, some for profit, have all turned to the new prefect who was "appointed by the emperor".

However, yesterday, the prefect's mansion was turned upside down again. The newly appointed Prefect Yan died unexpectedly, and the vicious Xiongnu soldiers disappeared. What is even more frightening is that this time, the sound of the fighting was not even heard. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the mansion changed its owner again. This kind of silence is even more terrifying than the previous killings!

What kind of character is occupying the prefect this time

Therefore, when someone came to inform Shengtang to discuss matters, many people trembled in their hearts, as if they were not facing the familiar hall, but some kind of dragon pool and tiger's den.

Tremblingly, I walked into the spacious lobby. Just as I stood up according to the shift, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Four men with swords surrounded one person and walked into the house. These soldiers were neatly dressed, their faces were solemn, and even their steps were exactly the same. But the four of them stood still, and after the one in the center took the seat, a warm voice sounded in the lobby.

"Please take a seat, you don't need to be polite."

This voice is too far from those ferocious sergeants. Several people involuntarily looked at the main seat, and at this glance, they forgot the etiquette.

I saw a person sitting on top of the high hall, with a dark robe and a gauze crown, and a star-shaped jade face. Just like those high-level disciples from top-level clansmen, they should sit above everyone else. But such a noble man, how can people connect with everything that happened yesterday

However, when the pair of black eyes that looked like dots of paint came over, the doubts disappeared instantly. In those eyes, there seems to be a kind of fearful deterrence, just one glance can make people bow their heads. Those who had not been seated hurriedly sat down, not even daring to take a breath.

Seeing everyone sitting down, the man smiled slightly: "My surname is Liang, and I just came to the county mansion the day before yesterday. When I found out that the mansion had changed, I asked the family soldiers to deal with it. Now that the chaotic party has been eliminated, I should call you all to discuss it. "

Liang? As soon as these words came out, many people responded. There was indeed a person surnamed Liang who came to the county seat. It was Liang Zixi who was once appreciated by Duke Dongying, but not the general's mansion. The reputation of this person has already spread all over Bingzhou, and he is in Shangdang, how could he not know it? There are even Buddhist scriptures printed by Liang's House in many people's homes!

There was a slight commotion immediately below. But seeing the four soldiers behind Liang Feng, those who dared to speak up closed their mouths again. No matter what, the entire prefecture's mansion is in the hands of the other party.

Liang Feng was not in a hurry. After the commotion subsided, he continued: "Now that the county government has returned to peace, when the three passes are retaken, we will welcome Duke Dongying back to Bingzhou as soon as possible."

This is common sense, but it may not be a good thing for those who participated in the coup. For a while, no one in the room answered. Liang Feng was not surprised, and continued: "This time the county palace was attacked, and the casualties will not be counted. The deceased were loyal to the country, and even Duke Dongying would not treat them lightly. However, you may not be able to escape. "

What, does this person in the seat truthfully report to Duke Dongying? ! Some people immediately saw sweat on their foreheads, and for the crime of serving a thief, even if their heads would not fall, they were afraid that they would be dismissed from office. East Yinggong is not a person who can tolerate people, and he really can't get away now.

There was a man who couldn't stand it and stammered: "Liang... Liang Ye, the lower officials are really forced to helpless, and I was caught in trouble by the chaotic party. I hope Liang Ye will be kind..."

"Oh? This is Jiangmen?" Liang Feng turned his head and asked with a smile.

"Yes, it is Xiaguan!" Unexpectedly, the other party knew his identity, Jiangmen Xia quickly bowed and replied.

"In the back house, there are your wife and daughter. But according to reports, you personally picked up the prefect's mansion." Liang Feng said calmly.

His voice trembled with fright, and Jiang Menxia hurriedly shook his head: "This, where did this come from! Sure, it must be someone else's false accusation..."

Liang Feng choked: "Oh? Sun Ye, did you falsely accuse Jiangmen Xia?"

At this time, everyone noticed that there was still a person kneeling beside Liang Feng, who was Yan Ji's confidant Sun Ye. I saw the man tremblingly replied: "Jiangmenxia, Wang Shuzuo, Liu Xunxing, and the other four, all personally offered their families and allegiance to Yan Thief. There is absolutely no robbery!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiangmen couldn't help but turn pale and open his mouth. How could it be possible to hide this matter from Sun Ye? Who would have guessed that this Liang Lang had a premeditated plan to find out their roots!

Not to mention Jiangmen, the others who were named also shivered, for fear that the person on the seat would wave their hand and drag them down.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Sun Ye's report, Liang Feng just nodded and smiled: "It seems that the serious thieves are powerful, but don't blame the gentlemen for seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages."

Seeing everyone's expressions of surprise, Liang Feng gave a light high-five. Immediately, a healthy servant carried a few huge wooden boxes and placed them in the hall. When the wooden box was opened, everyone in the hall was shocked. Many people covered their noses and looked sideways, not daring to look directly at the terrifying scene in front of them. I saw that there were only bloody human heads in the box. There were five boxes full, and I was afraid that it would have to be level 100!

However, Liang Feng stretched out his hand lightly as if nothing had happened: "These are the heads of the thieves who occupy Baixing. Now that the two passes of Baixing have been recovered, Commander Linghu has also led his troops to Huguan, and they should be able to descend in one fell swoop. ."

This time everyone was even more astonished. Taking back the prefect's mansion in one day has already made people feel at a loss, and on the second day, he overcame two passes and recaptured the important town of Huguan. Could there be some magic to help? But if this is the case, it is really a great credit!

Seeing the changing expressions in the eyes of the people in the hall, Liang Feng restrained a smile on his face: "But now the party is on the sidelines, the Xiongnu is on the side, and Duke Dongying has not returned. It is still necessary to rely on the princes to reorganize the county and arrange food routes. to be able to achieve full success.”

He was an official for many years, so how could he not be able to hear what Liang Feng meant. This is to learn from Emperor Wei Wu! After Emperor Wei Wu's Guandu defeated Yuan Shao, he found a lot of letters from his subordinates who surrendered, but he didn't read them and threw them directly into the brazier. When a crisis is ahead, it is common sense for people to have different opinions. If they are strictly dealt with one by one, how can they stabilize the military’s heart

Jiangmen looked at the handsome man in disbelief. He raised it so high and put it down gently. How could he not make people feel scared. However, the heads of the people in the box were vivid in their eyes, and even the smell of blood did not dissipate, and no one had any desire to resist. His back softened, and he bowed to the hall: "Liang Ye saves us and the fire and water, and we should serve the king!"

Now, who still doesn't understand the current situation, everyone worshipped one after another: "Liang Ye is wise, we are willing to obey orders and eliminate the danger of Shangdang as soon as possible!"

Looking at the drooping heads in the hall, Liang Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Such a set of equal emphasis on favors and prestige can truly turn against customers and bring these old officials back to their hearts. With these obedient and obedient officials, who dare not have any ghostly thoughts, the order of the county can be restored and confront any possible crisis.

Gently pulling back the sleeves of his robe, he gracefully saluted: "I hope you all make concerted efforts to return Duke Dongying to Bingzhou as soon as possible!"

On the same day, as Liang Feng expected, after the high head of the Jingguan was set up, a rebellion broke out in Huguan City. In just half an hour, all 50 elite Xiongnu guarding Guancheng were killed, and Linghu Kuang successfully settled in Huguan. .

On the same day, Kuai Ma from Liang's Mansion also arrived at the Prefect's Mansion and brought a new piece of news. Those three hundred Xiongnu elite riders returned without success and have already returned to Lucheng!
