Chapter two hundred and fifteen the windfall
After hearing from several generals, Dou Jiande's voice was so powerful, Song Jingang snorted heavily and said to the point: "Dou Jiande is not greedy and wants to annex our army now. He has newly recruited his troops, but the rear has not yet surrendered, and he dared to advance lightly. As long as I smash his sharpness in the city, all my troops will be dispersed and I will enter the place where the troops are defeated and died. Dou Jiande's move is really unwise."
Hearing that Song Jingang wanted to fight Dou Jiande with only more than 10,000 troops in the city, there were only one who surrendered and fled in the second way. All the generals were shocked, but they also admired Song's courage even more. As he said, this was also an opportunity. If Dou Jiande was defeated, those newly affiliated people would inevitably sway left and right, and it would be hard to say who would win and lose. At that time, Song Jingang would likely replace Dou Jiande and lead the Hebei rebel army.
Song Jingang said immediately: "All the generals are in this crisis, and the success, the king is defeated, and the enemy is defeated. You have been following me for a long time, but you are determined to work together with me to fight Dou Jiande."
After hearing this, the generals looked at each other and said together: "If it weren't for the kindness of the general, how could we have today? I would like to follow the general to the death."
When Song Jingang heard this, he burst into laughter, spread his arms and said, "If I, Song Jingang, succeed in the future, I will never forget the achievements you have today. Those who can share hardships will be able to share wealth and honor in the future."
Song Jingang said now: "Now Dou Jiande's light cavalry is coming, he is both arrogant and irritable. If he pretends to be defeated and sets up an ambush to lure him, he will definitely be wiped out in one battle. Well, by the way, why didn't Zhao Quer?"
Most of the generals present shook their heads, and one general said, "I met General Zhao before and took my personal guards to the East City Gate, saying that he had been ordered by the general of the general to strengthen the city defense here."
"This person is lying!" Song Jingang's face turned pale. When the generals heard this, they immediately stood up and asked, "Could the General not issue this order?"
Song Jingang's teeth were chewing, and the generals immediately cursed.
Mom, I knew this person was not a good person.
Now that things have come to this point, what else can I do? I will take back the East City immediately.
It's useless, this person has been away for an hour.
Song Jingang said, "Zhao Quer is also a general. He has hundreds of close confidants. As long as he guards the East City Gate for a moment, he will be able to support Dou Jiande's army. At present, we can only abandon the city and leave the city from the West City. There is a water barrier there, so it is impossible for the other party's elite cavalry to wade."
Song Jingang clenched his fists tightly, forcibly rejected his lost and frustrated mood, and made a decision to cut off his arm.
At this moment, Song Jingang was packing up his fine lines and took his wife and children, and led hundreds of soldiers from the west gate to the city. Just as Song Jingang stepped out of the west gate, Etu led less than thirty cavalry, almost broke his legs and entered the city from the east gate. It was almost a slight difference, and he could have a slinger head with Song Jingang. If Song Jingang, who was leaving the city from the west gate, learned that it was not Dou Jiande, but Li Chongjiu, who was coming.
When Li Chongjiu led his army to Yi County two hours later, it was already evening, and countless torches were lit on the top of the city. Etu, Zhao Quer and a group of local gentry representatives stood in front of the city gate. Li Chongjiu looked at the top of the city gate and slowly exhaled. At this moment, he truly included Shanggu County in his palm.
"Submitted general Zhao Qu'er meets the prefect!" A man in his thirties knelt down to Li Chongjiu with his hands crossed.
Li Chongjiu dismounted and helped Zhao Quer, and said with a smile: "I am the prefect who can attack Yi County without bloodshed. General Zhao has made great contributions."
After hearing what Li Chongjiu said, Zhao Quer was delighted.
"Follow me to enter the city!" Li Chongjiu got on his horse again, raised his whip, and led his army into the city. On the streets, soldiers guarded the gates of each yard, beware of soldiers disturbing the people, so as to show that they were not offended. Li Chongjiu happily praised this move and warned the entire army to follow this example in the future.
Afterwards, Li Chongjiu entered Song Jingang's mansion, and the mansion was in a mess. Song Jingang was in a hurry and panic. He took away a group of valuable things in the mansion by himself, and the escaped slaves took away another group. Now the mansion is in chaos.
The first thing Li Chongjiu did when he arrived at the mansion was to investigate the money and grain in the city. Fortunately, Zhao Quer came very quickly. In order to burn and destroy it, Song Jingang sealed them intact and had enough trust to guard the soldiers. Li Chongjiu checked the account book. When he learned that there was enough grain reserved in Yi County that could support 10,000 troops for half a year, he was overjoyed. This was all the income from the autumn harvest of Yi County in Fanyang. Now Li Chongjiu is cheaper.
In addition to food, there were five or six million coins in the treasury in the mansion. After seeing this, Su Su and Zhao Wansan were almost crying with joy. This batch of money was enough for the French troops and Han troops participating in this battle. Before Li Chongjiu completed the promise of breaking through each person in Yi County. In the arsenal, Li Chongjiu also collected thousands of complete armor, and there were also many other weapons. In addition, nearly 20,000 Song troops in the city were originally close to 20,000 people. In addition, the thousands of people who followed him and those who were unwilling to surrender and left themselves, more than 10,000 people also surrendered to Li Chongjiu.
The battle in Yixian was really perfect. If you had to say something, you would have left Song Jingang.
After proposing the people, Li Chongjiu immediately fulfilled his promise and rewarded the army immediately. His subordinates could obtain the cloth, tea bricks or meat promised before the war. Hearing that there were rewards, the foreign troops of Li Chongjiu's subordinates were overjoyed. Wherever they received the rewards, the leaders of the various troops were all over the head.
For the Han army, they were all very practical and they could get 450 yuan according to the reward. In the troubled times, they could buy eight dou of corn and ten dou of brown rice, which was enough for the family to eat and drink for three months. If they were single, they could also go to the tavern to enjoy several good meals. Of course, if they were lustful, they could also go to the rough kiln for five or six times.
As for the people, they must think about it carefully. Cloth is of course the first choice. A piece of cloth from the Central Plains for the wife of the family or to please the lovers is the best choice. As for the people who have started a family, they like the tea bricks transported from Shu. This is a must-have in every felt bag on the grassland. There are also many people who want porcelain. As for whether the meat is good or the money is white, many people have taken it. They don’t need cloth tea bricks for the time being. When they think of one day, they really want to buy it, so they go to the Cao Market in Huaihuang Town to buy what they want. There is news that Yuyi Town will also open a court in the near future, and it will be more convenient to buy Han people’s things at that time.
Except for paying a portion of the income to their respective owners and military leaders, everyone had a bulging waist and a satisfied look. This time, after spending three months in the wind and snow, it was not in vain. It can be said that everyone has made a fortune. Compared to the past, following the clan leader of each tribe, waiting for the jin, he was beaten to death, just to compete for the pasture. The water sources are different, and it is not a big risk to follow Khan Li Chongjiu to go to war, but everyone has a good harvest.
Looking at his own cloth, meat and tea bricks, all of these straightforward people were so happy that they could have a fat year when they went home. For Li Chongjiu, although he had moved the treasury of Yi County, they were all Song Jingang's property. Li Chongjiu himself didn't have to pay a penny at all, and he made a little profit, and he was even more happy to be generous. The whole army was grateful for Li Chongjiu's generous rewards.
In order to obtain fabric, ceramics, and tea bricks, Li Chongjiu directly used money to purchase from the Lin Family Business Association. Lin Dangfeng urgently transferred inventory from the Zhuo County General Office to meet Li Chongjiu's needs. Lin Dangfeng kept complaining that Li Chongjiu had too much demand, which forced him to purchase in various places in the winter and continue to purchase new goods from various places to add warehouses. Although Li Chongjiu was complaining, he was also smiling from ear to ear. Li Chongjiu's large-scale purchase really made the Lin Family Business Association a big profit.
The capture of Yi County was a blessing in one place. Li Chongjiu completed the unification of the entire Shanggu County. His soldiers were bulging and Lin Dangfeng also had a large sum of money to make the money. The only one was Song Jingang who lost the city and took his soldiers through the Taihang Mountains like a dog from a frustrated family.
Then Li Chongjiu removed the Song army that had surrendered. Except for the fact that Song Jingang's original troops were equipped with thousands of people, the rest were usually farming and fighting, and their combat effectiveness was mediocre. Therefore, Li Chongjiu eliminated the old, weak and remnants and selected three thousand of them to fill the county soldiers. Now the county soldiers in Shanggu County have reached 5,000.
Li Chongjiu ordered Yuchi Gong, Zhao Quer, Zhao Quanting, Gao Chu and Chen Ke to lead an army each as generals of Yingyanglang. Chen Ke was a bandit in seven thousand villages. Later, he studied art with Li Chongjiu in Shaolin. Li Chongjiu regarded Li Hu as his son and nephew. This time, Li Chongjiu was promoted to Yingyanglang. Gao Chu was still the deputy commander, responsible for the training. Su Su was expelled from the position of Feihu County County Magistrate and promoted to the commander, and had the right to mobilize county troops. Su Su also served as the county magistrate and assisted the prefect Li Chongjiu to handle the government affairs of Shanggu County. As for Feihu County Magistrate, Zhao Wansan was promoted to the post of the position of Feihu County Magistrate.
With these five thousand county soldiers in hand, Li Chongjiu was immediately confident. This was the power he could control and mobilize. Finally, he reached a balance of strength with Shide Xi's army. In the future, he didn't have to always look at his mother-in-law and the elders' faces. He would have to quit for a long time if he "borrowed" soldiers. He led his troops around and followed him with twelve gold medals. Of course, just as Li Chongjiu integrated the forces of Yi County, the elders wrote again, which was a real ultimatum.
But this time, the generals collectively refused to buy it. They all gained a lot. As the guards, Etuo, Yinghefu, and Yan Yelie, the gains were even more fat. At this moment, they all left behind the strict orders for the elders to return to the grassland immediately, and asked Li Chongjiu if there was a new direction for attack. The foreign troops under their command were screaming, sharpening their swords and preparing to attack a certain city again.
