Chapter two hundred and ninety-two under Yunyang
With Tong Sisheng's promise, everything went smoothly. Before Tong Sisheng could say a complete sentence, he was driven away by a group of gentry. These gentry had a strong influence in Yunxi County. It can be said that the rural brave men recruited by Tong Sisheng were afraid of the big gentry households, more afraid of the government, not to mention the yamen runners. These people were originally untouchables, famous fence-bearing, and wherever the wind was strong.
Soon, with the creaking sound, the heavy gate of Yunxi slowly opened towards the Pei family army.
There was a chuckling on the corner of Liu Changle's mouth, "The whole army obeys the order and enters the city."
With the opening of the city gate, the gentry and clan of gentry in Yunxi City, who were known as the prestigious ones, quickly walked out of the city gate, came to the city, and knelt down in the direction where the Pei family army arrived.
"The gentry of Yunxi County welcomes the Pei family's heavenly soldiers into the city." Shen Zhaojia knelt in front, with a flattering look on his face.
Liu Changle rode a war horse and slowly walked to Shen Zhaojia. The soldiers behind him did not stop and rushed to the city along the sides of the kneeling gentry. They had to control the city gates on all sides, the township heroes in the city, the three yamen runners, county yamen, warehouses and other important areas in the shortest time.
Soon, the flag symbolizing the Ming Dynasty was thrown off the city tower by the soldiers of the Pei family. The Pei family's flag was planted with the Pei family's name. Looking at the flag fluttering in the wind, Liu Changle then turned over and got off the horse and said lightly: "Get up."
Squire like Shen Zhaojia cannot give them a good look, because once they feel that you are easy to talk to, they will be arrogant and make more unrealistic demands. In order to prevent the subsequent killing, Liu Changle can only choose to keep a distance from them. On the other hand, this is also good for them. In addition, Liu Changle is a military general, and these people are destined to be out of his jurisdiction in the future, so he does not have to have much friendship with them.
"General Xie." Sure enough, Shen Zhaojia was not dissatisfied with Liu Changle's coldness, but became more and more respectful. This may be the legendary Stockholm syndrome.
"If you don't know, don't scream." Liu Changle frowned. In the Pei family army, the title of General is exclusive to Pei Xiaoer. Others have no right and do not want to be called General.
"Yes, yes, Caomin knows his mistake." Shen Zhaojia hurriedly admitted his mistake. At this time, Qu Ke behind him interrupted, "General, Caomin and others prepare a little wine in the city to welcome the general's grand prize."
"No need." Liu Changle refused, and then the gentry's face darkened instantly. They defected from the government to the rule of the Pei family army. The network of relationships they had created before is now completely useless. At this time, they urgently needed to find a big man in the Pei family army as their backer, and the only one who was closest to them was Liu Changle, but they did not expect that they would be rejected by Liu Changle.
Perhaps realizing that these people are still needed in a short period of time, Liu Changle could only add: "Wait for the future, the most urgent task now is to take down Jiang Yunyi from Yunyang, and the military rules are not allowed to drink alcohol during the war."
Only then did these gentry turn worries into joy, and Qu Keshuang said, "Okay, one word is certain."
Ten thousand reinforcements were wiped out, and the news of the surrender of Yunxi County was not long after, it came into Jiang Yunyi's ears like wings.
Jiang Yunyi seemed to have been torn apart for the last glimmer of hope, and she was stunned. It took half an hour to react. However, Jiang Yunyi, who reacted, did not take the action of drawing the army to strengthen Yunyang. Instead, she ordered her servants to pack their luggage urgently. At the same time, she sent someone to prepare the navy in Yunyang City immediately and prepare to evacuate Yunyang at any time.
At this time, the servants came to report that the governor of Yunyang Pan Shiqi asked for a meeting at Qianmen, saying that he wanted him to discuss strategies to fight the enemy.
"Defend the enemy?" Jiang Yunyi was stunned. At this time, Pan Shiqi was talking about defending the enemy. What had he done? After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yunyi said: "If you don't see me, go and tell him, just say I'm sick and can't take matters."
The servant took the order and left. Jiang Yunyi no longer missed him. He began to investigate his own moving matters in a blink of an eye. He had been in office in Yunyang for more than two years. When he came, he was clean and honest, but when he left, he pulled more than a dozen big cars and three concubines. Looking back on these days in Yunyang, it was so hard.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the voice of the servant just now came from the front yard, "Sir, my master is in a state of discomfort and cannot meet guests. Sir, you cannot enter... Sir."
Immediately, Jiang Yunyi saw Pan Shiqi pushing the servants with an angry face, rushing in, and hit Jiang Yunyi head-on. Looking at the busy people in the garden, Pan Shiqi didn't know what Jiang Yunyi was doing?
"Mr. Jiang, you're really terminally ill!" Pan Shiqi sneered.
Even though Jiang Yunyi's face was comparable to that of the city wall, she couldn't help but turn red when she heard Pan Shiqi's words and said uneasy: "Aren't I thinking about how to break the thief?"
"Break the thief?" Pan Shiqi snorted coldly, "I think Governor Jiang is preparing to apply oil to the soles of his feet, right?"
"You..." Jiang Yunyi said in anger, "You don't need to worry about what I want to do. Just take care of yourself."
"Don't I have to worry about it?" Pan Shiqi was completely angry, "The court entrusts millions of soldiers and civilians in Yunyang to you, but you rarely encounter setbacks and just want to escape by yourself? Are you worthy of the court's entrustment? Are you not afraid of the court's probation in the future?"
Pan Shiqi's words directly broke Jiang Yunyi's heart, hid him in the soil, and revealed all his own deceiving thoughts. Jiang Yunyi was furious and angrily scolded: "I said, my business has nothing to do with you. Someone came to see you off." After that, he left.
Several servants rushed up immediately, grabbed Pan Shiqi's arm and wanted to pull him out. On the way to be dragged out, Pan Shiqi still shouted at the top of his lungs: "Jiang Yunyi, you have to bear the grace of the holy people, you are the sinner of the court, you are the sinner of the people, the sinner~"
After Pan Shiqi left, Jiang Yunyi's heart was full of struggle, her face became ferocious and terrifying, and then she became full of fear. In the end, she turned her heart and shouted to the servants outside: "Isn't it okay yet? Let's set off now."
In the end, on the day when the Pei family army captured Yunxi County, Jiang Yunyi fled to Yunguan overnight, joined forces with his 40,000 troops, leaving behind the prefect of Yunyang Pan Shiqi, and guarded Yunyang with five thousand thugs.
Two days later, Liu Changle's carrier Shen Zhaojia and other gentry took the initiative to contribute 3,000 stones of food and grass, as well as the slightly renovated soldiers, and then led their troops eastward to surround Yunyang. After the persuasion of surrender was fruitless, Liu Changle immediately ordered the entire army to attack the city.
This time, Jiang Yunyi gathered all the troops from Yunguan to his side, allowing the Pei family army to besiege Yunyang, but did not send reinforcements from one army or another. Yunyang, which Pan Shiqi left behind, was attacked by the Pei family army. In the end, Pan Shiqi defended Yunyang for three days, and Yunyang City was broken, and Pan Shiqi died in the Yanmeni of Yunyang Prefecture.
Once Yunyang was broken, the 35,000 soldiers in Yunguan completely lost their supply of food and grass, and turned into water without a source and trees without roots, which could not last long.
Jiang Yunyi stayed in Yunguan for two days, and food was becoming increasingly scarce in the pass. In order to persist for a longer period of time, Jiang Yunyi ordered officers above the garrison to have three meals a day, while the soldiers under him could only have one meal a day. Later, this meal could not be guaranteed, and the rice soup provided was increasingly diluted, and it turned out to be a clear soup with little water.
When he was hungry, his dissatisfaction spread. The morale of the military in Yunguan began to be unstable, and soldiers kept causing trouble. At first, there were military officials who could suppress it. Later, when the officers could not guarantee their daily food, the officers began to take the initiative to plan the riot.
Jiang Yunyi felt that the situation was getting increasingly unstable, so he had no choice but to abandon the 35,000 officers and soldiers from Yunguan again. On the evening of the fifth day after entering Yunguan, he boarded the navy's warship again, took advantage of the night to go downstream and headed straight for Xiangyang.
After Jiang Yunyi left, the leader of the Yunguan was left. In order to seize the remaining food and grass, the army fought and killed each other in the planning of several generals. One day later, the remaining officers and soldiers opened the gate of Yunguan and surrendered to the Pei family army outside Yunguan City. At this point, the officers and soldiers in the Yunyang area were wiped out, and the Pei family army officially occupied Yunyang.
