Chapter 446: What surrender? That is obviously a demonstration with hands raised! [Asking for monthly votes]
“Kill all those who have committed the most heinous crimes!”
In Xiangyuan County, Lu Bu sat in the county office with a golden sword, looking at the county annals of this place, and shouted at Song Xian Talking about the arrangements for the prisoners.
This morning, after two rounds of shelling by Cao Xing, Xiangyuan County was successfully captured.
The Black Mountain thieves in the city surrendered. The leader also wanted to seek an official position in the name of righteousness, but before he could finish his words, Lu Bu took out his sword and beheaded him.
If there weren't those insulted women in Tongtian County, Lu Bu wouldn't mind giving these surrendered generals some opportunities.
But now the entire Shangdang County is about to be turned into hell on earth by the Black Mountain bandits. Now that the leader of the bandits is caught, it is natural to kill him quickly!
Song Xian is very supportive of this decision:
“Xiuer is leading people to conduct screenings and let the Black Mountain thieves identify each other. Once the evidence is conclusive, the execution will begin.”
In troubled times, heavy punishments should be used. These Black Mountain bandits, like the Baibo Army, can no longer live like normal people. Those who make small mistakes can still be kept as laborers in road construction and mining. Those who commit serious crimes can only be killed.
Cao Xing hurriedly walked in with a walkie-talkie:
"General, there is news from Nie County. General Gao asked for permission to capture Shangai County, capture Jingxing, and retain the initiative to enter Jizhou?"< br>
Lü Bu put down the bamboo slips in his hand and sighed:
"Gao Shun is really amazing. Just by looking at the map, he realized that Jingxing is a strategic location...Tell him to recover other counties in Taiyuan County first. Then go to Ai County and get Zhan County by the way."
Zhan County is the northernmost county in Shangdang County, located at the junction of Taiyuan County, Shangdang County and Jizhou.
After passing Zhan County, we reached the territory of Jizhou. Even Shangai County and Jingxing are now the boundaries of Jizhou.
If Gao Shun goes, Lu Bu will not have to send a special force to regain Zhan County. He can send a force to take it with him and take Ai together.
Cao Xing was just about to go to the city wall to reply to the message, and Lu Bu said again:
"Tell Gao Shun, kill the Black Mountain Army if you can, and don't be merciful!"
"Yes!"
When Cao Xing went out, Song Xian followed him out of the county office and went to Zhang Xiu to convey Lu Bu's instructions.
"Old Cao, do you want to eat hot and sour noodles tonight?"
Cao Xing got on his horse, turned to Song Xian and asked:
"What do you want to eat? "
"The general has been depressed since he left Tongtan. How about we have a hot pot meal, and the mutton is also good. I think the sheep raised here are quite good."
"Okay, you can arrange it. Remember to pay for the sheep. Don't imitate the Black Mountain bandits and rob them directly."
"Don't worry, I will pay double the price and I will never let the people suffer."
Cao Xing came to the gate of the city, dismounted from his horse, and trotted up to the city gate tower. A set of relay antennas were temporarily placed on it, which was used to communicate with the outside world.
He tuned into Gao Shun's channel, conveyed Lu Bu's instructions, and briefly told what happened in Tongtang County.
In Jinyang City, listening to the news coming from the intercom, Gao Shun, Han Rong, and Xun Yan looked at each other, but they did not expect the Black Mountain bandits to be so cruel.
"Please tell Marquis Wen that I, Gao Shun, will not be merciful when encountering Black Mountain bandits!"
After replying to the message, Xun Yan said:
"Although there are not many Black Mountain bandits in our Taiyuan County, But there are bandits everywhere, and we need to capture a group of them, which can be used to build roads. First, rebuild the abandoned official roads so that supplies from Guanzhong can enter Taiyuan."
Han Rong nodded:
"In addition to thieves, the aristocratic families in Taiyuan also need to be beaten... Tomorrow morning, I will go and talk to the new head of the Wang family. The country is in crisis. Let's see how the Wang family expresses its stance."
Wang Yun's clan had been completely wiped out, and the remaining Wang clan members voluntarily surrendered to the court.
However, Han Rong did not intend to let them go like this. They had to hand over some land and food. As for the Wang family's tens of thousands of slaves, they also had to be re-registered and included in the household registration.
It is no longer feasible to accumulate power by hiding land and population.
The aristocratic families in Guanzhong have already paid a heavy price. If the families in Taiyuan want to make the same mistake again, Han Rong will not mind haggling with them again.
In addition to food and land, the forts built by various families outside the city must also be eradicated to avoid turning back and cultivating a group of dead soldiers.
In the original work, the Sima family was able to successfully seize power, wasn't it because they secretly trained three thousand dead soldiers.
Ever since Sima Yi secretly trained dead soldiers, emperors of all dynasties have been very afraid of their subordinates developing secret powers. For example, during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, when Li Shimin learned that his general Zhang Liang had thousands of godsons, he knew This old guy didn't hold it in well, and Zhang Liang rebelled.
At that time, it seemed to be a trend to recognize one's godson.
The patron king Yang Lin in the Sui and Tang Dynasty stories also recognized his godson everywhere. When he saw Qin Qiong, his eyes lit up. Not only did he accept him as his godson on the spot, but he also gave Qin Qiong a golden armor that he had treasured for many years. This leads to the plot of Qin Qiong's three backing kings.
Now Qin Qiong doesn't have to do this. Even if Yang Lin leads an army of one million to chase him, he still can't catch up with his off-road vehicle.
If he ran faster, he might be able to return to the real world, drive an excavator, and dig a trap for Yang Lin himself.
Xiangyuan County, hotpot mutton is ready quickly.
Lu Bu also went back to the kitchen of the B&B to get sesame paste and fermented bean curd, and made the dipping sauce himself.
Zhang Xiu took out a chopstick of mutton and said:
"Those Black Bandits dog bite dogs, the whistleblowing lasted all afternoon, and almost everyone's hands were stained with the blood of the people... What should we do? Everyone Kill? ”
Lu Bu nodded:
"Kill, pick a few representative ones, and behead them in front of the people of the city... Remember to break their defenses before beheading them. It's best to cry bitterly. We can’t let them go on their way happily.”
“Understood!”
After capturing Xiangyuan County, we crossed the Zhuozhang River and arrived at Huguan County.
Although the name of Huguan County comes from Hukou Pass, the two are not in the same place. To put it simply, Hukou Pass is a pass in Huguan County, and there are dozens of miles between them. distance.
This distance is the entrance to the Shangdang area. If you want to attack Changzi County, you must first capture Huguan County.
Lü Bu said while eating:
"Send scouts to investigate all the way south, and try to use walkie-talkies to contact Han Sheng and Zilong."
Zhang Xiu was in charge of the scouts, and upon hearing this He put down his chopsticks and took out a small black notebook from his arms:
"What happens after we get in touch?"
"Give us Huguan County. They will go directly north along the Zhang River and capture Lu County and Shexian County, the entrance to the Taihang Mountains...and capture the passes near Shexian County together, retaining the initiative to attack Jizhou."
Zhang Xiu reacted instantly:
"The general wants to catch all the Black Mountain bandits in the Shangdang Basin, right?"
"If they are released, it will be a disaster for the people. If they are left here, they will be harmed. Let's..."
By the time Huguan County is captured, Xun You should have led his troops from Guyuan County back to the west side of the Shangdang Basin, and then followed the Jieshui River all the way east, joining Lu Bu's army at Huguan County. Convergence with Guan County or Tunliu County.
Next, we can unite our troops and besiege Changzi County, the headquarters of Shangdang County.
After eating the mutton-boiled meat, Lu Bu went to bed early. Song Xian took out the copper pot, put all the remaining meat together, and let all the soldiers in the camp have a taste.
In fact, the food of the soldiers is not bad. At least compared to other soldiers who have one meal a day or two meals a day, the imperial army now has three meals a day, all of which are solid food.
This alone is enough for the soldiers to burst into tears of gratitude.
Cao Xing ate and drank enough, lit up a cigarette and smoked it happily, but after just two puffs, he said to Zhang Xiu who was holding a tablet computer to study:
"Ask the scouts to raise the drone and see if there are any black bandits hiding in the surrounding valleys."
Hiding in the mountain col during the day, you may not be able to see the drone even if it flies over.
But it is different at night. At night, the Black Mountain bandits have to light a fire in order not to be eaten by wild beasts and to keep out the cold.
In the dark night, these fires become invisible lights that guide drones to their coordinates.
Zhang Xiu also reacted instantly. Soon, the drone unit responsible for the investigation came to the open space outside the city, raised the drone, and began to investigate the surrounding areas.
When Lu Bu heard about this, he also got up specially and rode outside the city to see the results of this night reconnaissance.
"Buzz..."
The drone quickly rose up and flew first to the mountain col to the east.
Not long after flying, I saw several fires below.
The drone gradually descended. Based on the firelight and the activation of the night vision function, it was quickly determined that this was a group of Black Mountain bandits of about a hundred people.
"Are you planning to come back and occupy them after we leave?"
Lü Bu made the drone circle around to confirm that there were no civilians among this group of Black Mountain thieves, and then asked the drone brigade to carry out targeted elimination.
It's pitch black and you can't tell if there are any traps around. The best way is to send a large drone over to pour some gasoline and burn these idiots to death.
Four fire-fighting drones filled with gasoline quickly took off and arrived above the group of Black Mountain thieves. The four drones turned on the water release button at the same time, and the gasoline in the tank immediately tilted down.
“Huh…”
As soon as it fell on the fire, the gasoline burned quickly, and all the Black Mountain bandits around the fire were turned into torches.
Cao Xing was convinced:
"Damn, I didn't expect gasoline to be so easy to use. Will there be no city that we can't conquer in the future?"
Lu Bu said : "This is the theory, but this tactic is only suitable for people who have done the most evil, otherwise it will damage their moral character."
Several people burned a few more strongholds and dug out a fort hidden in the valley.
"General, do you want to burn it or not?"
Song Xian became excited when he saw the people in Wubao.
Lu Bu said:
"Burn it, take people to capture it tomorrow morning, and see how much food is in it. If there is less, give it to the people, and if there is more, take it away and use it as military rations."< br>
When they were playing targeted drone strikes outside the city, there was a different scene near Hukou Pass.
The fire on the pass wall has been extinguished. Zhao Yun climbed up the pass wall along the newly made ladder and looked around with a night vision telescope, only to find that the entire pass was empty.
He led his soldiers to search around. There was no one on the wall, there was no defense on the stairs, and even the doorway was empty.
Dozens of soldiers moved the boulder behind the door and lifted the door bars away. Everyone worked together to open the closed door, and Huang Zhong rushed in with his people.
Sui Gu asked in confusion:
"They actually abandoned the pass and fled?"
An hour ago, the scouts observed through the drone that the people in the pass were evacuating. At that time, they thought it was a trick to lure the enemy, so Zhao Yun led the team in person Climb to the top of the city.
If there is an ambush, he can at least break out of the encirclement.
But now, everyone realizes that they have been battling with the air for a long time.
"Damn, I ran pretty fast. If I had known better, I would have saved less gasoline. The gate tower would have been completely burned down and had to be rebuilt."
Zhou Yu looked at it with a flashlight, feeling a little regretful that he didn't control the heat the first time.
Dong Zhao is very interested in gasoline:
“Is this our own, or is it a gift from your husband?”
“These are brought from the real world. , but Shangjun in the north of Chang'an now has an oil base. If we set fire to it in the future, we can use our own production of gasoline."
The soldiers entered Hukou Pass and rescued many people.
When Huang Zhong saw their miserable state, his beard and hair stood on end:
"Hell-dead Black Mountain bandits, if you see them, you will definitely kill them!"
Hearing these words, Sui Gu's whole body was filled with excitement. Shivering, luckily he had restrained his subordinates in the past, otherwise he would definitely have been killed by General Han Sheng.
Now everyone knows that Old Man Huang is a super general who can fight Lu Bu for a hundred rounds without deciding the outcome, and Marquis Lu Wen once silenced the eighteen princes at Hulao Pass.
Such an outstanding person, even if twenty-four generals of the Black Mountain bandits come together, there is a high probability that the old man will kill him one by one, leaving nothing behind.
Huang Zhong ordered:
"Rest overnight in the pass. Tomorrow we will repair the damaged city wall, replenish the wood and rolling stones, assign some soldiers and horses to garrison, and then go to Huguan County."
The next day, after breakfast, Dong Zhao and Zhou Yu walked around the pass, looked at the shape of the mouth of the pot, and redrawn a more detailed map.
Sui Gu led people to reinforce the city wall, while Zhao Yun led people to cross Hukou Pass and investigate in the direction of Hukou County.
On the way, when he rode horseback to a hill to observe the terrain, the walkie-talkie hanging on his waist suddenly rang:
"General Zilong, General Hansheng, please answer when you hear me!"
Zhao Yun picked up the walkie-talkie and replied:
"I am Zhao Zilong, please speak!"
" The two generals were ordered by General Hussar to lead their troops to bypass Huguan County and attack northeast. They must capture Lu County, Shexian County and the surrounding passes!"
When Zhao Yun heard this, he quickly took out the map and looked at it! After taking a look, I understood Lu Bu’s strategic intention:
"Marquis Wen is planning to block all the Black Mountain bandits in the basin?"
"Yes, General Hussar also ordered the two generals to kill the Black Mountain bandits without mercy!"
"Okay, I understand. . ”
After finishing the call, Zhao Yun scouted forward for another twenty miles until he reached the vicinity of Huguan County. Then he turned his horse and told Huang Zhong the order from Lu Bu.
On the city wall, Huang Zhong pointed to the mountain col due east and said:
"The front is Baixing, and across it is the vicinity of Ji County, Gongxian County. If we go all the way to the northeast, it is Fukou Pass. After taking it, our army will have an absolute advantage over Jizhou."
He He liked Lu Bu's strategy of occupying Fukou Pass and nearby Shexian County. Yuan Shao would either move his headquarters to another place, or deploy a large army on the opposite side to confront the imperial army.
No matter which one he chooses, Yuan Shao will feel very uncomfortable.
Dong Zhao looked at the map on the tablet and pointed at the route to Jingxing:
“This road should also be occupied. When we attack Jizhou next year, we will launch an all-out attack, leaving Yuan Shao with no choice. Be on guard.”
Zhou Yu took a look and said:
"That road has been determined to be occupied a long time ago. Mr. Wenhe has made a lot of plans, and occupying Taihang Baxing is only a small part of it."
< br>The form in Hebei has basically been determined, and Jia Xu has even made layouts and plans for Jingzhou, Jizhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou and other places.
Huang Zhong took the map and studied it for a while, planning to lead Dong Zhao, Sui Gu, and Zhou Yu with his army to attack Lu County first, while Zhao Yun stayed behind to repair the damaged Hukou Pass.
This arrangement is good, and Zhao Yun happily accepted the order.
Early in the morning in the real world, Li Yu finished doing squats, went back upstairs, changed clothes, and started eating breakfast.
Li Shimin obediently gave Li Yusheng a bowl of spicy soup:
"Sir, there is a performance at the racecourse today, how about I follow the big guy to see it?"
"Okay, you can go if you want."
When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately said to Yuwen Chengdu:
"You will take me there on your bike later. This will give you a chance to drive for the emperor."
Li Yu stopped as soon as he heard this:
"Stop riding, I'll wait a moment." Send you two there.”
Yuwen Chengdu doesn’t have an ID card. It’s risky enough to ride to Longqishan to work. If he brings a child without an ID card in the car, he will definitely be caught by the traffic police. It's a major case.
Li Yu thought it was better not to take risks. He took the two of them with him while buying groceries and picked them up in the afternoon. This would at least avoid accidents on the road.
Li Shimin agreed and continued to eat breakfast.
After the meal, Li Yu sent the two of them to Longqishan Scenic Area and bought the dishes for today. Then he sat in the study room of the B&B and studied the map of Shangdang County in the Eastern Han Dynasty carefully. .
At the same time, Xiangyuan County, Shangdang County.
Song Xian and Cao Xing teamed up to capture Wubao and captured more than two thousand Black Mountain bandits last night. In addition, they also had 20,000 grains, a roomful of copper coins, and a warehouse of soldiers, armor, and weapons.
Such a harvest made the two of them overjoyed and ordered the reconnaissance troops to continue their attack to see if there were any more forts in the mountains.
The soldiers evacuated the Wubao and then completely demolished the place.
Then the group of people rode horses to see several strongholds burned last night and collected the corpses to avoid causing any diseases.
After staying in Xiangyuan County for two days, some order was finally restored in the city.
Lü Bu left two thousand men behind and led his army to leave Xiangyuan County and march all the way to Huguan County due south.
On the way, they cleared several more forts. Every night when it got dark, Song Xian, Cao Xing and Zhang Xiu led the drone troops and flew into the mountains to find the stronghold of the Black Mountain bandits.
When we came to the tributary of Zhuozhang River, we crossed the river and were just about to rest on the spot when a scout came to report that tens of thousands of Black Mountain bandits had been spotted ten miles away and were running towards the main army.
As soon as Lu Bu heard this, he ordered the entire army to line up and prepare for battle.
On the other side, Yu Du led his minions to run all the way. When they were hungry, they went to nearby villages to grab food and some money as gifts.
After such twists and turns, we finally met Lu Bu's troops.
He straightened his clothes and said to his subordinates:
"Everyone is working hard. Let Marquis Wen see the appearance of our Black Mountain Army. Whether you can embrace the imperial court and become an official depends on your performance!"
When the imperial army is far away, The guy waved his hands and waved.
Zhang Xiu, who was leading the cavalry, looked at this scene with a telescope and asked curiously:
"What are they doing? Surrender?"
Cao Xing was afraid that he would get it. His military exploits were gone and he quickly retorted:
"What surrender? This is obviously raising your hands to demonstrate to our Han Heavenly Army! General, give the order!"
Lü Bu had no good impression of the Black Mountain bandits, and issued a combat order to Zhang Xiu:
"Cavalry arrays to attack! We must annihilate them all!"
————————
This is the first update today. Brothers, the place where I had surgery on my foot is still there. It's a bit swollen. I went to town today to have it checked again. Fortunately, there's no inflammation. It's because my blood sugar is not well controlled and recovery is slow. I'll have two more updates tomorrow!
