Chapter 757 Regaining Anqing
Back then, the brothers of the Gao family were responsible for the city defense of Southern Zhao. When Chu Chengyi and his son led the army to attack the city, if the city resisted tenaciously, the capital of Southern Zhao might not be captured so quickly.However, the brothers of the Gao family were afraid of death, so they secretly ordered people to escort the family members away. The Gao family saved a lot, but unfortunately, the capital of Nanzhao was breached just like that.

Now that Anqing is in danger again, Gundam, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, proposes to escape again.Gao Yu thought about it, and felt that it was right. They still have [-] to [-] generals in their hands. No matter where they go, they can occupy a city again and continue to operate.However, if he stays and fights against Chu Ruifeng to the death, then he doesn't even have to think about the ending. I'm afraid that with this little manpower, they will all become prisoners of others.

Gao Yuda and the two quickly reached an agreement, and then ordered someone to go to another county town to send a letter to Gao Meng, asking Gao Meng to leave with his people.In this way, before Chu Ruifeng's soldiers and horses arrived outside Anqing City, Gao Yu directly ordered the army to withdraw, and the generals of the rebel army quickly withdrew from Anqing with their families and the wealth they had accumulated over the years.

However, after leaving the place where they have been operating for many years, these people are not very reconciled after all.After leaving this time, they will never be able to come back again. Many generals simply ordered their soldiers to plunder the people of Anqing City.All of a sudden, the city of Anqing was full of chickens flying and dogs jumping, ghosts crying and wolves howling, and all the valuables and food in the homes of the common people were looted.

Faced with this situation, Brother Gao Yu didn't care at all. Since they had already decided to give up Anqing, what did they care about?Could it be that all the wealth should be left to Chu Ruifeng?Naturally, you can take as much as you can. It is best to loot Anqing City and leave nothing behind.

The Gao family brothers were not good things in the first place, and now they are all about conniving the soldiers under their hands to harm the people, seeing that the people in the city will suffer.At this moment, there was the sound of rumbling artillery fire from the north. Needless to say, it was Chu Ruifeng leading the army.

When those volunteers in Anqing heard the news, they knew that something was wrong. If they didn't leave, they might lose their lives.So he didn't care about grabbing things anymore, and quickly escaped through the west city gate.

Gao Yu and others led their family and fled westward all the way, joined Gao Meng and others a few days later, and continued westward.It was okay for a while at the beginning, everyone brought a lot of food, gold, silver and other things, and the life can still be maintained.But after all, these are [-] to [-] soldiers, and they consume too much food and grass every day. Within ten days, these people are faced with a situation where food and grass cannot be sustained.

The [-] to [-] rebels turned into bandits at this time, looting all the villages and towns they passed by.All of a sudden, on the escape route of Gao Yu and others, the common people suffered unspeakably.However, even so, the food and grass obtained were not enough for these people to eat, so some generals simply left quietly with their people to fend for themselves.

After more than two months, Brother Gao Yu led people to flee to the land of Bashu.However, at that time, there were only [-] confidants left by Gao Yu's side, and the rest of the soldiers had already left.With only such a few people left, Gao Yu didn't dare to attack any prefectures and counties with great fanfare, so he had to lead his people to hide in the vast mountains, occupy the mountains as king, and make a living by robbing passing merchants and pedestrians.

Let's not mention the ending of the members of the Gao family at this time, only that Chu Ruifeng led the army to Anqing, but found that there was no one guarding the city of Anqing, which was very strange.Just in case, Chu Ruifeng ordered to attack the city with artillery fire first, but even so, there was no response from inside, so Chu Ruifeng brought fifty thousand soldiers into the city.

However, as soon as they entered the city, they realized that the city of Anqing was in a mess, like bandits crossing the border.Chu Ruifeng couldn't help being surprised, and quickly ordered people to arrest a few people to come over for questioning. After questioning, he found out that Gao Yu had fled the city with his generals.Not only that, those rebels in Anqing even looted most of the city, which led to the scene in front of them.

"Gao Yu, you have such a vicious heart, it's abhorrent to treat the common people like this." Knowing the whole story, Chu Ruifeng was also very angry. He really didn't expect that the Gao family would do such insane things.However, it is useless to be angry at this moment. The most important thing right now is to stabilize the people and stabilize the situation.

Fortunately, Gao Yu and others fled in a panic. Although they robbed some of the people's money, the people who were victimized accounted for at most half of them.After all, Chu Ruifeng came very quickly, and Gao Yu and others ran for their lives when they heard the sound of gunfire, so the scope of the damage was acceptable.

It is precisely because of Chu Ruifeng's quick arrival that the loss of the Anqing government's granary is not too serious.After all, the granary was full of grain, and it was not so easy to pack it up and take it away, so Gao Yu and the others just took the gold and silver from the warehouse and ran away.

Knowing these situations, Chu Ruifeng immediately ordered to post a notice to appease the people, and at the same time sent people to rectify Anqing City to restore order in Anqing City as soon as possible.Chu Ruifeng's army has always been strict in military discipline, no matter where they go, they will not harass the people, so the order in the city quickly stabilized.

The people in Anqing City were all panicked and crying, and many people planned to take the opportunity to escape out of the city, for fear that the new rebels would be more ruthless than the original ones.However, when they learned that the new rebel army was Chu Ruifeng, most of the common people stayed with peace of mind.

Before that, Chu Ruifeng had some prestige among the people in Anqing, and these people also knew about the situation in Luzhou.General Chu occupied Luzhou. Instead of exploiting the people, he reduced or exempted a lot of taxes. It is said that the people in Luzhou are living a good life.

Since General Chu is here, why are they running away?Escaping is not necessarily what it looks like, but staying in Anqing will be safer.In this way, after a few days, Anqing City gradually restored its original appearance.Of course, those who were robbed could only consider themselves unlucky.

Chu Ruifeng occupied Anqing without a single soldier, and then led people to bring all the areas that belonged to the Gao family's sphere of influence into their jurisdiction.In this way, most of the areas of Anqing Road, Luzhou Road, and Anfeng Road were all under the jurisdiction of Chu Ruifeng, and the three places were connected to one city, and the sphere of influence expanded again.

Naturally, Anqing also needs someone to manage it. After checking with everyone, Chu Ruifeng sent an order back to Luzhou to let Jiang Yuyun's father come to manage Anqing and become the magistrate of Anqing.This Jiang Zhizhou is a very capable person, and Chu Ruifeng was on good terms with him before, and now he is Qingyun's father-in-law, so he is very trustworthy.

In this way, Jiang Zhizhou turned around and became the prefect of the rebel army, which was better than Haining. This could be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
