Anyway, those things were also snatched from the big families in Nanzheng City. After He Bayue took over Hanzhong with his army, he couldn't get anything.Li Bi is now using it to borrow flowers to offer Buddha to maintain the morale of the army, without any psychological pressure at all.

The generals and soldiers of the Wei Army, who had already made enough money in Mianyang City, had no objection to this from top to bottom, and believed that Li Bi really took care of them old brothers.

Give a little sweetness first, then take back what was promised before, and finally add a little compensation.Li Bi's technique of hand-painting and making cakes can be described as "retractable", even if Liu Yishou came, he would applaud and applaud.

Mianyang is the west gate of Nanzheng. It is tens of miles away from Nanzheng University. There are no mountains, rivers and rivers in between, so it is not very far away.

Li Bi led the army to set off early in the morning, but unexpectedly chose to camp and rest at night, and set off after dawn.

The army finally arrived near Nanzheng City at noon the next day.Li Bi looked up at the flag still flying on the top of the city, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

What he was most worried about was that Liang Jun set off from Chenggu County to conquer Nanzheng, and then used Han Xin's routine of fighting his back to close the city gate, and then changed the flag at the top of the city. Ambush on the way!

Li Bi didn't rush back to the city, and set up camp on the road in the middle of the night to guard against this move.

Now it seems that my worries should be unnecessary.

At this moment, the gate of Nanzheng city is wide open, the flag on the top of the city has not been changed, and no one can be seen entering or leaving the city.

At this moment, Nanzheng was like a naked beauty who opened the door of the room, no matter which man he was, he could come in and have fun.

Li Bi might be able to bear it, but when he looked at the exhausted soldiers with thin waistbands, he finally knew the truth that the military spirit cannot be violated.

It's like returning home, these Qiubas just want to go to the city quickly and get a good night's sleep. For other things, no matter what instructions are given to them, they will be treated perfunctorily.

"Line up! Enter the city!"

Li Bi drew out his saber, pointed in the direction of Nanzheng City Gate, and ordered loudly.

The troops who were still in good order when they set out for the expedition were chatting and laughing in low voices, whispering to each other, just like those elementary school students in Liu Yishou's previous life who returned from a spring outing, exhausted and excited.

Looking at these slightly embarrassed and complacent cronies, Li Bi sat on the horse shaking his head and sighing.

The strength and mental strength of this army have been exhausted. When they return to Nanzheng this time, they want to clear up the military discipline, guard the city, and wait for He Bayue to lead the troops to take over Hanzhong.

This time, he and his subordinates have done their best and completed all the tasks.

However, when Li Bi rode his horse into the city through the gate of the city wall, he suddenly felt a warning sign, and felt that something was wrong in the city!

It is understandable that no one enters or leaves the city gate. After all, there are routs outside, and they are likely to die if they encounter them.But why is there no sound at all in Nanzheng City?

This is so abnormal!

"Array!"

Li Bi shouted, but it was too late.As if hearing the voice of his order, more than a dozen arrows came towards Li Bi from the shadows almost at the same time.

Bravely crowning the three armies, Li Bi, who had quick eyes and quick hands, used the saber in his hand to remove most of these arrows.

However, too many arrows were shot, and they came from different directions.He was still shot by an arrow in the shoulder, and the hand holding the knife lost his strength, and the saber fell to the ground.

Li Bi's mount was shot into a hornet's nest, and after running a few steps, he fell to the ground and died!Li Bi, who had injured his shoulder, was thrown aside.

"Kill!"

Troops in light armor and white cloth strips tied to their arms rushed out from all around them, and when they saw the soldiers of the Wei army, they chopped them down.Unprepared, Wei Jun soldiers who just wanted to go back to sleep quickly were stunned by the sudden sap.

They didn't even know who their opponent was, and they didn't even know who would be so insidious and ambushed in Nanzheng City.

The battle situation soon became one-sided. Li Bi's exhausted army was defeated and fled out of Nanzheng in embarrassment. They were chased by the opponent and hacked continuously.

……

"call……"

Panting heavily, Yang Zhong leaned against the corner of the wall near the city gate to rest.In this battle, he hacked five knives alone, and each time they were broken, he just picked one up from the ground and continued chopping.Long weapons can't be used here at all.

Although there are only 500 people under his command, they are all selected through layers of selection in the army. They can ride horses and shoot arrows. They have specific and strict requirements for personal martial arts and infantry tactics.

The soldiers under Li Bi's command may be able to fight those under Xiao Ji's command, one by one or two, but it is not enough to deal with the elite soldiers under Yang Zhong's command.

Moreover, in Nanzheng City, there was no room for the large army to display their strength. Many of the soldiers of the Wei Army did not even have a knife.

In deliberate calculations, Li Bi was injured and fell to the ground, causing the Wei army to fight on its own. After losing command, the organization was quickly disbanded, and Liang Jun purposefully forced them into certain narrow lanes to besiege them. Live and be slaughtered like cattle.

"General Yang's victory in this battle is a bit ineffective. We have cultivated so well, but Wei Jun has fought three battles in a row, and the iron man is going to get down."

Duan Shao came over, panting against the wall and said, his body was covered in blood, the blood of the enemy, and he was not injured.

In this battle, Yang Zhong led the troops to slaughter all the soldiers of the Wei army. Even the injured Li Bi died in the rebellion and was beheaded by Yang Zhong.Li Bi, who had a shoulder injury, didn't even have one-tenth of his usual strength. Yang Zhong didn't realize that the other party had the capital to "champ the three armies bravely".

We are all human, and if we go to the battlefield with only one arm, can we fight against the enemy's fierce general who has been recharging his energy for a long time?

When Duan Shao said that Yang Zhong's victory was unarmed, he was not talking nonsense, but a true portrayal of this battle.

"The Wei army had a lot of looting in Hanzhong, and there were many sufferers. General Yang can cut off the heads of hundreds of Wei army soldiers and put them in a palace by the Han River to anger the Wei army's reinforcements. The dead people.

Then, in Nanzheng City, post Anmin notices door to door to win people's hearts and tell them that we have avenged them. This is the kindness of King Wu, the kindness of the court.

The Wei army killed and looted, and we protected the environment and the people. I believe that the King of Wu will definitely look up to General Yang. "

Duan Shao quietly suggested.

This guy can't be underestimated!

Yang Zhong took a deep look at Duan Shao, nodded slightly and said: "Xiaoxian is thoughtful, courageous and resourceful. After my lord enters Nanzheng, I will definitely say a few words of kindness for Xiaoxian in front of my lord."

Hearing Xianyin's elegant meaning, Yang Zhong understood very well that Duan Shao had said so many things, and everyone was not very familiar with them before. Obviously, they were asking for something, but they didn't say it so blatantly.

Duan Shao is talented and young, and he even gave his younger sister to Liu Yishou as a concubine (although she was too young to have intercourse), of course he wanted to do something big.

Yang Zhong already intended to make friends, and the person who carried him in a sedan chair would definitely give Duan Shao this face.Besides, the other party's proposal is indeed very reasonable.Wei Jun did all kinds of evil in Hanzhong, and he didn't regard this place as his own territory at all.The soldiers and horses of the imperial court can only gain the hearts of the local people if they behave in a completely different style from the opponent.

Complete control of Hanzhong will help Liu Yishou plot Shu, and block the Guanzhong road, preparing for the future invasion of Guanzhong and the annihilation of He Bayue's troops.Duan Shao's proposal is far-sighted, and it can be said that it is completely in sync with Liu Yishou's thinking.

Based on Yang Zhong's understanding of Liu Yishou, after this battle, Duan Shao must be in charge of the army alone and be reused.

At this moment, a soldier came over and said to Yang Zhong, "General Yang, all the corpses of the enemy army have been counted, including the general Li Bi, there are 740 people in total, and none of them escaped.

In addition, the gold, silver, and silk were seized without counting, and they were all found from the soldiers of the Wei army.They've all been piled up together, now is it necessary to organize the parts and search them one by one, and check whether anyone has hidden the loot according to the requirements of military law. "

It stands to reason that the basic treatment of this army is that one person joins the army, the whole family is tax-free, and the expenses are all provided by the court, so there is no need to rob at all.But it is difficult to guarantee that some people are just greedy for petty gain and corrupt military discipline.Therefore, Liu Yishou formulated a strict military law. While the remuneration was generous, the military law was also so strict that soldiers dared not make mistakes.

"Military law is ruthless. I didn't target anyone. All the soldiers lined up to search."

Yang Zhong ordered in a deep voice.

It's not that there can be problems with this army, but the problem cannot lie with him. Yang Zhong, who has changed several masters, is very sensitive and cautious about this.

After a while, hundreds of soldiers under his command lined up, and the bodyguards came forward to search, but they didn't even catch a single person who took it privately. Yang Zhong immediately felt that Liu Yishou had a foresight in making the rules.

"Heavy rewards and severe punishments", all military pay and rewards come from the imperial court, and the spoils of war are only counted for merit and not for real objects. All kinds of rules are set, Liu Yishou really sees through these Qiu Bamen.

Only when the elite soldiers are small can they be rewarded generously. Only with generous rewards can they be willing to work hard. Only by severe punishment can they be restrained from doing things blindly. Only by turning over the loot and harvest can the army's fighting spirit be kept high. In order to protect their property, they used other methods to get money from local big households to work in the army afterwards.

At first glance, all kinds of rules seem to be indifferent, even binding hands and feet is not straightforward enough, but at this moment Yang Zhong analyzed the various reasons for the disastrous defeat of this elite army of Wei, and the fact that the army was looting should bear most of the responsibility!

The reason why the Wei army collapsed so quickly was because they had already made enough money in Mianyang, and the morale of the army had been weakened. The soldiers who had made enough money only wanted to save their lives and return home with these gold and silver clothes!

Who still wants to kill the enemy?

"The whole army is on alert, close all the city gates, and send people to Ankang County, please enter Hanzhong, my lord!"

Yang Zhong said to a soldier beside him.This battle was won very happily, and it was very important strategically, but the gains were indeed not many.It is very likely that this is just the beginning of this battle for Hanzhong.

Xiao Ji only lost a few thousand people, and the strength of Shu is strong, so he might not have plans to enter Hanzhong again.

He Bayue's news was delayed, and he should have received a letter from Li Bi. Maybe the support team is on the way.

"This battle should be just the beginning. Xiaoxian will still have a chance to make meritorious deeds in the future."

Yang Zhong said to Duan Shao with a calm expression.

"Indeed. If I were He Bayue, I would be in a dilemma."

Duan Shao nodded slightly and said.

It was only at this moment that he noticed that there was an unpleasant smell of blood floating in the air, the sun was covered by dark clouds, and the corpses of the enemy soldiers were piled up not far away, layer by layer, awakening his memories of past battles.

Before the world is at peace, how many people will die to fill up this pit of endless battles?

Duan Shao asked a question that he had never noticed before.

……

The news of Li Bi's entire army's annihilation has not yet reached Chang'an, but He Bayue is caught in a dilemma just like Duan Shao's analysis.

On the one hand, the grandson Jian, who should have been killed by Liu Yishou to vent his anger, came back safe and sound, and brought back a pair of gold "concentric locks" as a "gift" for his wedding many years ago.

On the other hand, the person Li Bi sent to report to Guanzhong also arrived and told He Bayue that Hanzhong had been pacified and that it was time to send troops into Hanzhong!

He Bayue found it very strange that the information they sent was contradictory!

Changsun Jian said that being captured by Liu Yishou, Liang Guo had long been interested in Hanzhong and was well prepared, so he persuaded He Bayue not to send troops to Hanzhong.

However, Li Bi's personal soldiers sent letters twice, saying that Nanzheng and Mianyang had been conquered, and he asked He Bayue to lead troops to support them quickly, and sent people to organize civilian husbands to transport grain to Guanzhong.

Who is telling the truth?

Chapter 654 If This Is Not Love

"What the hell does he mean?"

In the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Chang'an City, He Bayue was playing with the pair of very small "concentric locks" in his hands, feeling puzzled for a while.The north wind whistling outside disturbed people's mind.

He has been married for several years, and his wife is from the Yuan family. It is a political marriage that he has to accept in order to gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong.Now at this juncture, what is the intention of sending a concentric lock as a "gift"?

He Bayue didn't want to understand.

How insidious and scheming Liu Yishou is, probably no one in this world knew earlier than He Bayue.That guy doesn't get up early without profit, doesn't fly when he doesn't see a rabbit, and never does boring things.

Even if it is a small matter, it is probably not a trivial matter for Liu Yishou.Now that Liu Yishou holds a high position in the south, those who laughed at him for his incompetence, the grass on the grave has grown so tall.He Bayue didn't want to be the next such person.

"I think, maybe Liu Yishou didn't have any other intentions. Maybe it was just for the friendship of old friends."

Su Chuo took the golden lock from He Bayue and said thoughtfully.

After looking at it for a long time, I was stunned to see what is so strange about this thing.

Su Chuo's family background is good, and he has no shortage of expenses since he was a child. It's not that he has never seen good things.The workmanship of this golden lock can only be said to be very ordinary, and there are no organs or the like.

Why did Liu Yishou give this thing to He Bayue?

He also felt baffled.

"Forget it, let's ignore these things. Li Bi has successfully conquered Hanzhong, should we send troops to reinforce him? Judging from the current situation, Liang Guo will counterattack at any time, and Liu Yishou is not a light-saving lamp.

There must be a fierce battle when troops are sent out. "

He Bayue said in a deep voice with a serious expression on his face.The situation in Hanzhong may not be as optimistic as Li Bixin's!

If it was someone else, maybe it would be fine if they lost Hanzhong.

But who Liu Yishou was, He Bayue knew very well, he was the only one who robbed others, no one robbed him.

Li Bi swept Hanzhong, can you count on Liu Yishou not to make a move?That's impossible.

But He Bayue felt that the time was not ripe for a big battle with Liang Guo.

On the one hand, he is reluctant to part with the great situation in Hanzhong, on the other hand, he is also afraid of fighting a big battle with Liang Guo.

It can be described as a dilemma.

"If we don't go for reinforcements this time, if the lord wants to go out of the customs in the future, no one will follow. There is no need to go into details. The key is how to go and which way to go."

Su Chuo said with a sigh.

If Li Bi didn't write back, He Bayue could pretend to be deaf and dumb and didn't know.However, since Li Bi sent someone back to ask for help, saying that he had settled Hanzhong, everyone in Guanzhong was watching how He Bayue would handle this matter.

If there is no reinforcement, will it be chilling?

Needless to say, this is almost unavoidable.Faced with this situation, can He Bayue say "no"?If so, who would want to hang out with him in the future?

"Since Changsun Jian was captured by Liu Yishou, it means that Liu Yishou has been paying attention to the situation on Nanzheng's side. Li Bi's... is there really no problem?"

He Bayue seemed to be muttering to himself.Contradictory information is sometimes better than no news at all!

"My lord, don't hesitate, even if it's a dragon's lake or a tiger's lair, I still have to go there."

Su Chuo said with certainty.This matter is no longer just a military matter, it is about the support of people in Guanzhong.

This is the foundation of He Bayue's ruling.

On the one hand, Li Bi sent people back to say that Hanzhong had been settled, and there must be many people under He Bayue who wanted to serve as reinforcements; on the other hand, not everyone could see the risk of reinforcements, but if He Bayue was timid, , but exposed his weakness to his subordinates.

This is a terrible thing.
