Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 26

The lobby of the Governor's Mansion was brightly lit and guarded by soldiers.

Luo Zheng paced back and forth under the hall, and the latest battle reports were sent continuously like a tide.

After breaking through the east gate, the [-] soldiers in Qiao County had lost their barrier.

Without the advantage of a strong city, the three thousand soldiers from the prefectures who neglected to fight and train, and were caught off guard, how could they be the opponents of the Xiliang cavalry like wolves and tigers? The south gate, west gate, and north gate were successively captured Xiliang cavalry control.

Except for those who died in battle, more than half of the guards in the city were captured and held in the military camp in the north of the city.

"Who is in charge of the overall situation in Qiao County?"

Luo Zheng asked in a deep voice while listening.

The Xiaoxiao replied: "I have already asked clearly, it is Xu Jing who is not driving in Yuzhou."

Luo Zhengdao: "Where is Xu Jing, have you ever caught it?"

The little principal replied: "I have never caught them. When our army rushed to the south gate, I heard that several carriages had rushed out of the city. The last general had already sent someone to chase them, but it was difficult to distinguish them in the dark, so we never caught them." Xu Jing."

Luo Zheng waved his hand, "It's fine if you don't catch up, and you can't make any waves if you run a Xu Jing. Like my military order, from now on, the army will be divided into three groups to take turns to rest, and get enough physical strength as soon as possible. At the same time, tell the whole army , the people in the city are all nobles and all are not allowed to go to the streets without authorization. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed immediately, and no one can gather people for any reason, otherwise they will be killed immediately."

"As ordered."

The little school promised, and immediately rushed out of the door, and quickly passed down the military order.

Luo Zheng waved to Xu Chu, "Let's go, Zhongkang, let's take time to rest. If there is no accident, Sun Jian's army should arrive tomorrow. Hurry up and get enough energy to deal with Sun Jian's army."

Xu Chu agreed, followed Luo Zheng to the backyard with a long knife, and went to find a place to rest.

Early the next morning, Luo Zheng came to the lobby of the Governor's Mansion refreshed and sat down in the main seat.

A soldier served a steaming breakfast, Luo Zheng moved his index finger, and immediately started eating on the table.

Dozens of members of the military academy were seated on both sides, each with respect and fanaticism in their eyes.Last night, Qiao County was destroyed in a battle. It can be said that it is truly a miracle from heaven. Such a clever strategy is the first of its kind in the use of troops. Why don't these military academies respect them.

The army is a special group. In order to gain the support of the soldiers, in addition to being sympathetic to the soldiers, the most important thing is to be able to lead the soldiers to victory. Only such generals can be respected and supported by the soldiers.

Luo Zhengben has repeatedly made ingenious schemes and made many achievements, and he won the respect of the soldiers in the battle last night.

Even Xu Chu, a fierce man, looked at Luo Zhengdi with a little more awe.

Luo Zheng ate a few bites, and suddenly asked: "Have you ever caught Kong Ni?"

A small school replied: "General, I have already captured, and I have never lost one."

Luo Zheng made a 'huh' sound, and said: "Kong Ni is a great Confucian in the world, quite famous, and has a good reputation among the people, so don't harm his small family, so as not to cause public anger. As for the rest of the rich and prosperous family..."

After saying this, he paused, stared fiercely, and said solemnly: "Go ahead and burn it and rob it, don't have any scruples."

"As ordered."

All the military academies showed excitement, and suddenly agreed.

Luo Zheng suddenly remembered something again, raised his head and asked: "Did someone violate my military regulations last night?"

"This one……"

All the military academies immediately showed hesitation and hesitated to answer.

Luo Zheng's face was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Say."

Li Meng gritted his teeth and came out, "Three soldiers under the general's account broke into the house last night and raped women."

Luo Zheng's face was even colder, "Is there any more?"

All the military academies did not dare to hide the truth, and reported it one after another. Last night, more than [-] soldiers broke into the houses and raped women.

Luo Zheng was suddenly furious, and slapped the table heavily with a 'pat', and dropped the steaming hot on the table, scattered it all over the floor, and said sharply: "The general said a long time ago However, you must stop harming the common people, rape women, and even dare to disobey the military order, what do you leading military academies do, huh?"

All the military academies were all awe-inspiring and did not dare to make a sound.

Luo Zheng shouted angrily: "Bring the violators to the general."

The military academies didn't dare to disobey the military order, and immediately ran out separately. Not long after, more than [-] Xiliang soldiers who had broken into the houses and raped women last night were escorted up, and they knelt down in the hall with their hands behind their backs.

Luo Zheng sat in the main seat with a big sword and a golden knife, and his murderous eyes scanned the Xiliang soldiers kneeling under the hall, and shouted: "This general has repeatedly ordered not to harm the common people, rape women, why dare to violate our military regulations?"

"Forgive me, the general, but the villain dare not."

More than [-] soldiers from Xiliang shuddered and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Luo Zheng said: "If I spare you, what is the binding force of this general's military regulations?"

All the generals and more than [-] Xiliang soldiers suddenly felt that something was wrong, and their scalps went numb.

Luo Zheng shouted: "Come on, push these scum out of the account and behead them."

"General, spare your life, General, spare your life."

When more than [-] Xiliang soldiers heard that they were really going to beheaded, they were frightened and stupid, and begged for mercy loudly.

Li Meng also quickly stood up, "General..."

Luo Zheng shouted: "If you dare to intercede for these scum, you will be killed together."

Li Meng shivered cleverly, he didn't dare to persuade him any more, and quickly retreated.

Some personal soldiers had already rushed in, pushed out more than [-] Xiliang soldiers who were howling, and beheaded them all.

Seeing this, all the military academies were secretly awe-inspiring, wiped their cold sweat secretly, and thought to themselves that the general had used a real knife. After returning, he must tell the sergeants under his account to never violate the military regulations again, so as not to lose his head or even be implicated. Own.

Xu Chu has been standing behind Luo Zheng, and at this moment, he can't help but stare, and silently read a few words of the military regulations set by Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng waved his soldiers to hang more than [-] heads at the gate of the camp to show the public, and then said fiercely: "There is no law in the army, and a military discipline is loose. An army without strict military regulations is not considered a military force. The truly elite are at best a pack of wild wolves. This general is well-intentioned, but you military academies don’t think about making progress, and anyone who indulges soldiers will be punished together.”

"You will know your mistakes in the end."

All the military academies hurriedly got up to admit their mistakes, and put their hearts back a little bit.

Only then did Luo Zheng nod his head in satisfaction, secretly thinking that this time to kill people and stand up, but it came very timely.

A general without majesty is not enough to shock the three armies.

Although Luo Zheng has seized the military power, he has never established a military prestige.Usually it's not too much, but if there is a crisis situation, when the majesty of the general is not enough to shock the three armies, the phenomenon of instability in the army is prone to occur.

Only when the military prestige is truly established, can this cavalry be directed like an arm and prohibited by orders.

This time, it is the best time to attack Qiao County in the First World War, and rely on the prestige of a great victory to kill people and establish an army.

Luo Zheng turned a few thoughts and asked, "Where is Sun Jian's army today?"

The captain of the scout hurried out and replied: "Take the horse and report back half an hour ago. Sun Jian's army should break out of camp before dawn. The vanguard of [-] cavalry will arrive at noon at the earliest, and [-] infantry can reach Qiao County before evening."

Luo Zheng hummed, and ordered: "Give this general a close eye, and report back at any time."

"Order."

The captain of the scout obeyed the order, and saw that there were no more questions, so he retreated.

Luo Zheng was not at ease, and went to inspect the city defense in person, and looked at all four gates.

In midsummer, the wilderness outside the city was covered with shade and green.

Breathing the fresh air without any pollution in this era, Luo Zhengdi's mood became more and more comfortable, and the marching and combat strategies in his mind gradually became clear, straightening out some things that were difficult to decide before.

On the top of the city, the Xiliang soldiers were full of energy, with their waists straight.

As for the inside of the city, there were faint screams and weeping from everywhere, all of which came from high-ranking families.

Luo Zheng doesn't have the slightest favor for these nobles. How hateful this young noble family is, just look at the poor people who have no clothes to wear and no food to wrap their stomachs. It is really not worthy of sympathy.

Thinking of something, he suddenly asked Xu Chu beside him, "Zhongkang, I remember that Cao Cao is also from Qiao County, right?"

Xu Chu replied: "My lord is talking about calling Cao Cao against Dong Zhuo?"

Luo Zheng nodded, there is only one Cao Cao in this world, who else will come except Cao Aman.

Xu Chu said: "That's right, the Cao family belongs to the Wang family in Qiao County, officials for generations, just twenty miles to the east of the city."

Luo Zheng was overjoyed, and he said excitedly in an instant: "Okay, that's great, this trip to Qiao County is really worthwhile, not only did I have to meet a fierce general like Zhongkang, but also found Cao A's hometown, it's really great. "

Xu Chu asked, "My lord, do you want to do something to Mrs. Cao?"

Luo Zheng nodded again and again: "Since we know that Cao Aman's family is here, there is no reason to let it go. After Sun Jian's army is defeated, this general will go and destroy Cao Aman's whole family, and kill all the Cao family without leaving behind. Not a single beast is left."

Xu Chu was silent, his thinking was simple, since he was serving others first, he would not think about what was there and what was not.

He has no idea about such things as exterminating people and clans. This world is already preying on the weak and the strong.

Luo Zhengxi was pacing and rubbing his hands again and again, he was very enthusiastic and excited about the matter of annihilating Cao Aman's clan.

Excited for a while, he quickly called Li Meng to tell him to go down, and ordered Li Meng to send someone to inquire about the news, to see if all of Cao Cao's clansmen were there, and to keep an eye on the Cao clansmen by the way, so as not to leak the news and let the fish slip through the net run away.

At noon, the [-] vanguard cavalry led by Sun Jian finally reached Qiao County.

Three thousand Youyan cavalry set up camp five miles west of Qiao County, waiting for the follow-up army to arrive.

Accompanied by a group of military academies, Luo Zheng climbed to the top of the city to watch from a distance. He saw the flags fluttering, the military appearance was neat, and the invisible killing spirit could be felt from far away. At a glance, he knew that this cavalry was A true elite.

"Where did Sun Jian get this cavalry?"

Luo Zheng frowned suddenly, trying his best to think about who has cavalry under the command of the Kanto princes.

Li Meng suddenly said: "The general heard that Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping, has a Youyan cavalry under his command. They are all elite. Could it be that the cavalry brought by Sun Jian is Gongsun Zan's three thousand Youyan cavalry?"

"Gongsun Zan?"

Luo Zheng pondered for a while, and immediately looked condensed, saying: "It's really possible."

Wang Fang scratched his head, puzzled, and said, "But how could Gongsun Zan lend this cavalry to Sun Jian so easily?"

Luo Zhengdao: "It's impossible. As long as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others mediate and promise benefits, if Gongsun Zan doesn't want to be infamous for being disloyal to the big man, he has to lend his soldiers to Sun Jian."

All the military academies suddenly realized.
