Fenghou

Chapter 242
Guo Zhen's mistake was that he dispersed his troops too much. If his [-] troops were assembled, even if they were no match for Chen Qing's [-] cavalry in the end, they could still severely damage Chen Qing's army. Four yuan, and were defeated by Chen Qing's cavalry one by one.

Guo Zhen was captured alive, and three thousand soldiers collapsed. They were chased and trampled by the cavalry of the Song Army on the street.

The [-] soldiers patrolling the city and the city fled directly outside the city. The barracks were empty, and there were [-] soldiers guarding the Qin Palace. They occupied the roof and high walls to fight against the Song army.

"Attack with fire!"

Facing the enemy's dense arrows, Chen Qing gave the order to attack with fire without hesitation.

Three hundred soldiers set up whirlwind cannons and attacked the outer courtyard from the side. Fire oil clay pots were thrown into the mansion. The pots burst and black fire oil flowed everywhere. Gunpowder arrows, the front mansion began to burn, the flames rose into the air, thick smoke billowed, the palace was full of exclamations and shouts, and a large number of puppet Qi soldiers retreated to the atrium and backyard.

At this time, the fire had engulfed the front yard and began to spread to the atrium. A hundred-year-old pagoda tree in the atrium was also ignited by the fire.

A soldier ran up and shouted at the commander Jiao Xi: "There is no Song army at the back door, you can retreat through the back door!"

Seeing that the fire was too strong, Jiao Xi could no longer hold the palace, so he immediately ordered: "Order the whole army to retreat from the back door!"

The back gate of King Qin's Mansion leads directly to a small city gate in Beicheng, Beiguangmen. The soldiers scrambled to escape and ran to the outside of the city. Unexpectedly, Liu Qiong, who was ambushing outside the city, led a thousand cavalry to rush out, and attacked the fleeing soldiers. After chasing and killing, the main general Jiao Xi was also shot in the throat by Liu Qiong in the dark, and died on the ground.

Not long after more than two thousand puppet Qi soldiers escaped, another team came out from Beiguangmen. This team consisted of more than a dozen gorgeous and large carriages. The rest of the guards, this is Qin Wang Liu Yi who escaped from Beiguang Gate with a large number of wives and concubines and court ladies. They didn't know that the previous army had been ambushed.

Less than [-] steps out of Beiguangmen, the team heard a burst of horns, and the surrounding fires ignited. The Song army who had been waiting for a long time surrounded Liu Yi's convoy.

More than [-] guards turned their horses and fled. They wanted to flee back to Beiguangmen, but unexpectedly, a cavalry came out of Beiguangmen. The leading general was Chen Qing. Two hundred guards shot and killed most of them, and the remaining dozens were also surrounded by cavalry, and all of them were stabbed to death with random spears.

The screams of the guards frightened hundreds of court ladies, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy.

Several soldiers stepped forward, opened a car door, and pulled out a fat man wearing a golden crown and royal clothes from inside. It was Liu Yi, the king of Qin.

Liu Yi was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, trembling all over, when the soldiers suddenly smelled a foul stench, and shouted and cursed, "Damn it, shit came out!"

Chen Qing gave Liu Yi a cold look, and ordered: "Put him alone in a car, and bring the others back to the palace to wait for punishment!"

The convoy turned around and drove back to Beiguangmen. Hundreds of court ladies and concubines were crying in fright, not knowing what terrible fate they would encounter.

In the light of the fire, Chen Qing suddenly saw two young maids walking in front of a big cart, they were only about ten years old, they looked exactly alike, and they were among a group of big court ladies, also teary and charming. Poor look.

The twin sisters made Chen Qing's cold and hard heart twitch slightly. He winked at Yan Jun, the head of the soldiers, took a look at the twin sisters, turned his horse and left.

It was getting brighter, and the Song army had taken control of the whole city and imposed martial law in the whole city.

The fire in the palace had been extinguished, only the front yard and half of the atrium were burned. There was a high fire gable between the atrium and the back house, and the fire did not burn through.

The warehouse of the palace is located in the backyard, and the warehouse is full of copper coins, cloth, and other valuable properties, such as fur, medicinal materials, wood, jade, copper, high-quality tea cakes, etc., and the copper coins alone are worth [-] guan.

The soldiers then found Liu Yi's personal treasure house next to Liu Yi's study. There were two in total. One was filled with gold, silver, and high-quality silk and satin, and the other was full of exquisite jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, beautiful jade, precious stones, and precious porcelain. and many more.

This can be said to be Chen Qing's richest and most extravagant harvest since he came to the Song Dynasty.

Chen Qing knew very well that the [-] Puppet Qi Army at Dasan Pass would come back soon, and he couldn't stay in Jingzhao City for a long time, so he immediately ordered the opening of a warehouse to release grain, and released the [-] shi army grain from Jingzhao City to Mancheng common people.

He also ordered carts to be collected in the form of purchases all over the city, and all the belongings were boxed and packed, ready to be taken away.

In the big tent, Yang Zaixing asked Chen Qingdao: "May I ask, general, what should I do with the maids and Liu Yi's wives and concubines?"

Liu Yi and Guo Zhen had already been sent to Hanzhong by Yang Fangxu and a cavalry overnight on the Meridian Road last night, and were handed over to Li Yuan, the imperial envoy. The two of them were very valuable, and they were most likely to be sent to Lin'an.

Chen Qing pondered for a while and said: "The ladies of the court each gave [-] guan to let them go home, and Liu Yi's wives and concubines each gave [-] guan to let them go. They can take away their own belongings."

Liu Yi's concubine and two sons are both in Bianliang, the so-called concubines in the palace here are just his playthings, they are all poor people, there is no need to embarrass them.

"Humble job understands!"

After a pause, Chen Qing laughed again: "If you fancy someone, you might as well keep her, and the same goes for other generals."

Yang Zaixing blushed, and quickly shook his head, "The humble wife and children are in their hometown, and they don't want to marry a concubine."

"Yes!"

Chen Qing sighed and said, "We have to find a way to stabilize and have a base where everyone can bring their families."

"Controlling, I think Oasis Fort is good."

Chen Qing nodded, "Oasis Fort is better than Chengji County. Chengji County is the place of the Fourth World War, and it is not easy to defend. Ganquan Fort is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is far away from Zhu Shengfei. It is indeed a good foundation. After we go back for the first time, let's make up our minds, "

"Humble job, arrange to release people!"

"Go!"

Yang Zaixing saluted and left, Chen Qing remembered something and said again: "Xiao Qun was buried properly, give his family five hundred guan of caress!"

"Understandable!"

Yang Zaixing was silent for a moment and said: "The innkeeper ran away and was not caught."

"Forget it, he actually did it unintentionally, don't bother with ordinary people like him."

Yang Zaixing silently nodded, saluted and left.

At this time, Yan Jun's voice came from outside, "Commander, the humble position has brought you here!"

"Come in!"

Yan Jun walked into the big tent, turned around and waved, "Come in!"

I saw two little ladies timidly walking in from the outside. They were the twin sisters I saw last night. They changed their dresses and were no longer dressed as court ladies. They were wearing bijiabu skirts, just like ordinary people Little lady attire.

Yan Jun smiled, turned around and withdrew.

Chen Qing was shot in the leg by an arrow shot by Wanyan Huo Nu in the winter of the previous year. Although the injury was healed, the root cause of the disease was still left. When winter came, his thigh would have a dull pain. hot towel for legs.

Chen Qing didn't like letting soldiers do this kind of thing. He usually did it by himself, but it was still inconvenient. He thought of finding a maid, but he never met the maid he liked until last night. The two little maids moved his heart.

Chen Qing glanced at the two girls again. They were indeed twin sisters. They looked exactly the same, with big black and white eyes, rosy skin, and an aura between their eyebrows. It was this aura that attracted Chen Qing.

"What's your name?" Chen Qing asked with a gentle smile.

The two little ladies fell to their knees and cried together, "General, please let us go!"

Chen Qing was a little bit overwhelmed, didn't Yan Jun ask clearly?
Yan Jun was at the door of the tent. When he heard the words of the two girls, he immediately became anxious. He opened the curtain and said, "Aren't you both homeless? And you both nodded and agreed, why did you change your name now?" gone?"

Chen Qing waved his hand, "Don't eavesdrop, you kid, and don't interrupt, I'll ask them slowly."

Yan Jun had no choice but to leave resentfully.

Chen Qing smiled and said, "He said you two are homeless, right?"

The two young ladies nodded with tears in their eyes, and Chen Qing continued to smile and asked, "He said you agreed before, didn't you?"

The two still nodded, and Chen Qing asked puzzledly: "That's strange, I promised before, but now it's changed again?"

"Because... because, I didn't know it was you!" one of the young ladies summoned up her courage and said.

Chen Qing was stunned, "Why can't I do it? Could it be that I have revenge for killing your father?"

The two young ladies still shook their heads, Chen Qing looked at their faces full of fear, and asked in his heart, "Is it because I have a bad reputation?"

The little lady who had some courage nodded and stammered: "Ms. Li said, you kill people like hemp and eat human heads, you are a monster!"

Chen Qing couldn't say a word for a long time, he was really notorious!
