Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

When the suspension bridge was just lowered, Xia Bing from the east of the city was approaching.

It's not that they got any news in advance, they were going to touch it to launch a sneak attack, but when they saw the suspension bridge lowered, they were a little confused.Immediately afterwards, the gate of the city was also opened, and Gao Youqing, who led the team, knew that his group of people might be discovered, and the Jin thief had gone out to recoil and killed them.

This is really fucked up!Why are you so unlucky?
"Kill the thief!" Gao Youqing roared.

"Kill the thief!" The sergeants had no way out, they had to kill the enemy before they could retreat, so everyone bravely fought to be the first, lined up and rushed over.

Dozens of Youzhou state soldiers had just left the city when they saw a large group of soldiers coming from the snow.The person rushing to the front is posing as a standard grass shooter on the move. The arrows are fast and coming fast, and they are very accurate in the dim light. I don’t know how much effort is spent on training. It is as impeccable as it has been tempered.

I'm afraid not all of them have been playing bows for more than ten years!It's not the kind of casual play during rural training, but the serious high-intensity training method. This is an elite soldier trained with a lot of money.

After meeting each other, they laid down more than a dozen people. The people behind were completely unprepared, and shrank back all of a sudden, using the city gate to cover their bodies.

"Stop fighting! We surrendered in Kaesong."

"Stop hitting, really surrender!"

"What's the matter with you, head of the cavalry, you have killed so many brothers in such a reckless manner."

"How do I know that there is a Xia thief—Xia Ren coming over?"

"Stop arguing, everyone shout together, surrender!"

"Down! Down!"

Xia Bing rushed to the city gate, but was forced back by the oncoming arrow rain.Gao Youqing was waving his hand and ordering the shield to step forward, when he heard the shouts inside, he stopped again.

"Guo Jiang?" He himself shouted loudly.

"True surrender!" The city gate replied.

"Say it earlier! Come out, I won't hurt you." Gao Youqing shouted.

The defender dawdled for a while, then walked out tremblingly.

Gao Youqing ordered people to dismount their equipment, and then personally led the people into the city.

Li Si'en, who was forming a team behind the city gate, was also very surprised to see Xia Bing from the brigade rushing over.He stopped his subordinates from moving blindly, stood in the place where the fire was shining, and said: "I am Li Si'en, I came out of the city, I don't know which general Wang Shi is on the opposite side?"

Gao Youqing suppressed the urge to cut off Li Sien's head with his own hands, and shouted: "It turns out to be Li Junshi. If you want to surrender, tell me sooner, it will hurt your peace in vain."

Li Sien choked, how the hell did I know you were coming to steal the city?But now is not the time to worry about this. I just heard him say: "There is a commotion in the city. Zhang Chun, the head of the thief, kidnapped a large number of soldiers, killed Li Cunzhang and his son, and proclaimed himself a queen. Right now, he is leading people to loot the treasury, creating a mess. So This is a good opportunity, the general must not miss it. The last general is willing to be the leader, to help Wang Shi wipe out the rebels and control Jicheng."

"Then you don't lead the way?" Gao Youqing said in surprise.

This is a good thing that the pie in the sky is falling!However, he was very clear-headed and knew that he could not take down Youzhou with his thousand men alone, so he immediately sent people back to the camp and asked King Zhao to send guide, Longwu, and Konghe warriors into the city.

After giving these instructions, he threw away the long lance in his hand, asked someone to bring a long axe, and laughed loudly: "It's time to make meritorious deeds!"

The army suddenly agreed, and rushed in aggressively.

Shao Siwu in the east of the city was discussing military affairs with Liu Mian, and he couldn't believe it when he heard that Li Sien had dedicated the city.

He thought that the peasants of Youzhou Tutuan would rebel and offer the city, but he did not expect Li Cunzhang and Li Si'en, such useless fake sons, to offer the city.What happened to force people to this point, he was too lazy to care about it.

The most important thing now is to firmly grasp this great achievement that was delivered to your door!
"Cao Yijin!" Shao Siwu asked someone to put armor on him, pulled out the sword his father had given him, and shouted.

"The last general is here!" Cao Yijin opened the tent and entered.

"The whole army enters the city without hesitation!" Shao Siwu ordered.

"As ordered." Cao Yijin hurried away.

"Your Highness, you still need to send an envoy to inform the saint." Liu Mian reminded from the side: "After entering the city, but drive out the rebels, seal up the treasury, and do not tamper with anything."

"Okay." Shao Siwu immediately summoned his own soldiers and ordered them to deliver orders.

Liu Mian is relatively reliable, and Shao Siwu now trusts him more and more.The key points in every sentence are literary talents, experience, practical knowledge, and understanding of human relations. Such a staff member is of a very high level, and Shao Siwu is surprised where he came from.Is it true that there are leftovers in the wild?There are too many talented people in the world.

Shao Siwu decided to secretly send someone to Weizhou to investigate.For a person whose origin is not clear, even if his talent is outstanding, he will not dare to use it.

Shao Shude was almost falling asleep when he received the news.

After listening to Chu Shenping's report, he hummed and continued to sleep.

This is not pretentious.

Li Si'en's dedication to the city was unexpected, but within reason, there was nothing surprising about it.The fall of Youzhou is inevitable, and the suspense is when it will fall.

Before going to bed, he specifically asked, "I'll find out tomorrow if Siwu has informed Ge Congzhou."

"Of order." Chu Shenping responded.

******
A new day is coming soon.

This is December 21st of the third year of Jianji, which is very close to the end of the year.In Youzhou City, after a whole night of turmoil, it has just largely returned to calm.

There are many dead bodies lying on the street.

Heavy snow fell rustlingly, covering it quietly, slightly covering the bloodstains.

There are already soldiers patrolling the city, but they are not the Yan soldiers known to the common people, but Xia people.

Well, in terms of origin, the Xia soldiers patrolling the city were also Yan people, because most of the Crane Control Army were tribal soldiers recruited from Shun, Ji, Ping, Tan and other places.

They didn't even have military uniforms, were poorly equipped, behaved rudely, and spoke vulgar words.But to be honest, in the eyes of the common people, they are much cuter, at least cuter than the group of people who caused chaos in the city last night.

Those Tutuan villagers from various counties in Youzhou have been wiped out—more than [-] people were beheaded and tens of thousands were captured.

Not all the captives participated in the rebellion. In fact, most of them stayed in the barracks honestly, but who made their fellow villagers rebel?Xia Ren didn't have time to screen them all, so they put them all under custody.

Zhang Chun's head has been hung on the tower.

He died at the hands of his own people.At that time, Xia soldiers attacked the Jiedu envoy's mansion. Hundreds of people around Zhang Chun couldn't resist the enemy. Some people turned their backs and stabbed him to death before surrendering.

Someone surrendered with his head, someone surrendered with his thigh, someone dragged half of his body to surrender...

But they all ended badly.Li Si'en hated these people so much that he ordered a volley of arrows to kill them all.

Xia Bing didn't care too much, wouldn't it be good to kill more thieves?I didn't ask my fellow villagers to borrow the head, which is already good.

The most severely damaged areas in the city are the treasury, Fangshi and the homes of some high-ranking officials and generals.

There are goods in the treasury and the square market, but they are looted by the soldiers, and all kinds of goods are scattered all over the place, which will still be cleaned up.

The homes of the generals were completely ravaged and destroyed by the soldiers. Naked women died all over the place, both old and young, and those who survived were weeping.There were no men left, and they were the first to be killed.

So the aristocratic family is gradually declining, who can bear it if the warriors come to them every now and then?The bigger the family, the higher the family status, and the more money, the more obvious the goal.In this case, the fool also knows that the family should be separated, so as not to be taken over by others.

After dawn, Yan Bao, the envoy of the left wing of the Longxiang Army, led 5000 people into the city from the west gate, Zhang Shensi, the envoy of the right wing of General Tu, led 3000 people into the city from the south gate, and the deputy envoy of the Xiaojie Army, Fengzang, led 2000 men from the north. The gate into the city - the north city wall of Youzhou, roughly on the line of the hair alley in later generations.

In this way, there were more than 2 Xia soldiers in the city at once, and Youzhou was firmly controlled.

On December 22, Shao Shude entered the city with a large number of palace guards and warriors from Yinanzhi.

The first thing to do after entering the city was to escort the more than a thousand rebels who had been identified outside the city, to declare the canonical punishment, and to invite hundreds of gentry, elderly, powerful, and military academies in Youzhou City to watch the punishment.

These more than a thousand people were all involved in the military riot the night before. Some did evil, some did not, maybe some were missed, maybe some were wronged, but it doesn't matter, and I won't take the time to check it carefully.

More than a thousand people cried, begged, cursed, wept, or remained silent.No one cares about their feelings, just as they didn't care about the feelings of the people that night when the riot broke out.

Give an order, count the heads of owls, bloody.

Shao Sheng is benevolent, but also ruthless.Just as the benevolence of heaven and earth also has frost, the tolerance of emperors and kings also has axes.It is no wonder that the rebellious soldiers seek benevolence and obtain benevolence.

"Your Majesty is truly a holy king to set things right."

"Punish the rebellious soldiers, and return Youzhou to a bright and bright world, with immeasurable merits."

"People of insight in Youzhou all remember the great virtues of saints."

After the Youzhou gentry watched the sentence, they bowed down one after another.

Shao Shude sat under the umbrella, calm in his heart.

I believe you bastards!

If the people of Youzhou are so easy to bribe, there will be ghosts!There are many lawless people here, and it is the place farthest from Wang Hua.

In the three towns of Heshuo, if Wei Bo was severely attacked by the central government and a small number of officials were once appointed, Youzhou Town has never felt pain.They are the most renegade towns against the Central Plains dynasty. The people are wild and have no sense of right and wrong.

Anyone can vote as long as it is beneficial!Khitan, Bohai, Uighur, if they are really strong enough to overwhelm Youzhou Town, then the local civil and military officials will not have the slightest psychological pressure to take refuge in the past.

For the governance of Youzhou, we must avoid being too ambitious and hasty.

Of course, it's not impossible for Shao Shude to deal with these thieves.In fact, he had already discussed with the prime ministers yesterday, and there is only one best way: immigration!

Tens of thousands of households in the four provinces of Guannei, Guanbei, Henan, and Huaihai were distributed to realize Youzhou.

He didn't worry about the land issue at all.Youzhou Town originally had a population of more than one million. Because of successive rebellions, it was slaughtered several times by Li Keyong; because of Khitan raids, most of the land behind the mountain was strategically abandoned; this Northern Expedition also lost a lot population.

The current Youzhou is at the time when the population is the smallest, and it happens to use its own people to fill the hole.

As for the possible backlash from the people of Youzhou, just suppress it!Shao Shude will not leave Youzhou in the short term, he has plenty of time to play with them.
