Chapter 95 Never See each other again
The battle in Xunyang ended quickly and was a little fast. At dawn, the people and horses in Jingzhou had completely controlled the situation in the city.
So much so that many people who were too scared to go out all night did not know that the city had changed its owner after coming out in the morning. However, the bright-eyed man still found that the flag at the head of Xunyang City had been changed, and the Liu Zi flag had disappeared. Instead, it was a strange black panther war flag, fluttering with teeth and claws in the morning breeze.
The people were not all people with blocked news, and soon some people recognized it as the Jingzhou war flag.
20,000 people in Tandaoji camped outside the city while guarding the city and the water army camp that was being rebuilt. In case Zhou Anmu or the iron war dog jumps over the wall, after all, they are now collecting and fleeing sailor soldiers and 20,000 horses.
Less than 1,000 defenders in Xunyang City were killed, more than 1,000 escaped, and nearly 3,000 others were captured. In addition, the number of prisoners in Beifu Marine Division Camp has exceeded 5,000, and now they are concentrated in one place.
In fact, Lu Qiang is very clear that this victory is still a fluke. The main reason is that the officers and soldiers in the north government inside and outside the city do not have unified command and fight separately. If the iron war or Zhou Anmu commands in the city, the people of Jingzhou may not be so easy to occupy this important town. Even when Zhou Anmu's army came back, it was hard to say who won in the end!
Lu Qiang did not intend to recruit these prisoners. One is that they rarely have local soldiers. In addition, these soldiers are so deeply branded that it is not so easy to subdue them. Therefore, Lu Qiang intends to treat these people as laborers and build dock warships for a year and a half.
After taking the Beifu Marine Division Camp, Lu Qiang also entered Xunyang City immediately, summoned the Taishou and Zhang Bang Anmin, and affirmed to the people that he was appointed by the court to manage Xunyang. Although the gate was closed, it was also temporary.
At the same time, Zhou Kui was sent to lead cavalry to increase the search in the city, catch the fish that had leaked into the net, and punished the defeated soldiers who took advantage of the chaos and killed the people.
Although the city has been occupied, there are still many things waiting for him to do when it comes to being one with himself like Jiangling.
Lu Qiang was very busy and happy. He came to report that Zhou Anmu's army had gathered in one place, and more than 20,000 horses had been killed 15 miles outside the city.
To be honest, Lu Qiang really doesn't want to go to war with these old friends in Beifu, but this is not the same as before. It is no longer the time to solve the problem with emotions.
When he was about to lead his troops out to fight, Xie Wangzu said without losing his time and said, "Your excellency is still destroying Huan Xuan!"
After listening to Xie Wangzu's words, Lu Qiang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Although the news of his appearance in Xunyang could not be concealed in the end, it was two different from taking the initiative to appear. As long as he did not appear, even if the court sent someone to ask afterwards, he could pretend that there was no such thing.
But after all, the city was seized from Zhou Anmu. If you don't even see your face, isn't it a little too much to say?
Xie Wangzu saw Lu Qiang's hesitation. To be honest, he sometimes felt that this young man was too emotional and lacked the viciousness that Xiaoxiong should have, but it was precisely because of this that he followed Lu Qiang with all his heart.
How to say that people are really strange animals!
"Let's meet these northern generals!"
Fight and talk about it. This has always been a common means for both the enemy and us. Even Lu Qiang has already thought about it. Not only to talk about it here, after the matter in Jiangzhou is over, he has to let Xie Wuzu go to Jiankang. Compared with the battlefield, it is also a war without smoke.
Zhou Anmu's physique is strong. Although he vomited blood, it didn't have much impact on him. He was mainly angry and attacked his heart, which led to a coma.
Before Tie Zhan arrived in Jianchang, he caught up with the scouts. Hearing the news that Xunyang had lost, Tie Zhan also understood that he had been hit by other people's tricks and had no time to chase his concubine. He directly led the troops back. On the way, he met the person An Mu sent to find him last week, and the two of them came together.
The two men added up to less than 20,000, and gathered some defeated soldiers, barely enough 20,000. Tie Zhan was about to bring his troops back to seize the city, but was stopped by Zhou Anmu.
The city has been lost. If these people are lost again, will he still have the face to go back to see Liu Yu?
Iron War is Liu Yu's beloved general, but it is too impulsive. Therefore, although Xunyang's main general is Iron War, Liu Yu has also explained that he must obey Zhou Anmu in case of major events.
It's useless to regret now, and Zhou Anmu knows very well that with Guoquan's ability and Lu Qiang's bravery, it is impossible for him to retake Xunyang. The reason why he led troops is that he is unwilling to ask Lu Qiang in person why he did this to him?
20,000 troops killed under Xunyang City with the momentum of mourners, and the soldiers were aggrieved! When did the Beifu Army suffer this loss?
If only in terms of momentum, even if Lu Qiang leads troops out, he may not be able to defeat this man and horse. Unfortunately, Lu Qiang will not show up, and the Beifu Army does not have siege equipment. In the face of such a strong city as Xunyang, they can't use any strength except to kill.
The 20,000 troops did not even camp. They directly lined up several phalanxes to stand outside the city, and then came to the city to challenge and ask Lu Qiang to go out to die.
Tan Daoji's camp was on the side of the river on the side of the city wall. According to Lu Qiang's order, they strictly guarded their positions and would never fight.
"Lu Qiang, you are an ungrateful thing, have the guts to fight to the death with your grandfather... You are a dareless rat..."
Tie Zhan scolded so much that he was so angry that Zhou Kui and others were ordered to fight many times, but Lu Qiang only smiled. If he was also the kind of person who could only show his courage, he would not have sat in this Xunyang City.
Xie Wangzu was old, and his shouting was not as loud as Iron War, but he shouted with Lu Qiang's temporary iron sheet, which was much clearer than Iron War.
"Are you tired of shouting this general in the city? Do you want to go back to rest and shout again? But the old man can tell you that you shout for nothing, because my adult is not here at all. Who do you call?
"The old man wants to ask this general, are you going to rebel if you are so openly leading troops to besiege the imperial town?"
"You fart. This is the city that was killed by the Beifu military. Does it have anything to do with the imperial court?"
As soon as the iron war words came out, it suddenly came back. The Beifu army was also the army of the imperial court! How can it be said that it has nothing to do with the court? Isn't this making trouble for General Liu?
He quickly changed his words and shouted, "We are an army sent by the court. It was you who occupied our city with tricks. It should be said that you rebelled."
Xie Wangzu smiled coldly and said, "My Lord Lu is the governor of Jing and Jiang. They are all military in five states. Why is it impossible to station troops in the city under their own jurisdiction? What the general said just now, I must tell my adult and ask my adult to report to the court and ask whether the Beifu army is from the imperial court or Liu Yu alone."
A brainless fool dares to show off in front of me? I won't kill you.
The dialogue between the two clearly came to Zhou Anmu's ears. The more he listened, the more he felt uncomfortable. If it went on like this, wouldn't General Liu be implicated?
He hurried forward and arched his hand to the city and said, "Do you dare to invite this old man, can you let Lord Lu come out to see him?"
"I just said that Lord Lu is not here. Haven't you heard about Huan Xuan's rebellion again? Hey! It's amazing! Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer loyal and patriotic people like us."
Old Xie said something and shook his head as he spoke.
Zhou Anmu did not come to quarrel with anyone. He did not believe that Lu Qiang was not in Xunyang at all. Because a soldier who escaped last night described the appearance of an enemy general to him, he was sure that Lu Qiang was in the city.
At present, he sneered and said, "I think that Lu Qiang is also a member of the imperial court now. Why is he getting less and less timid? What kind of hero do you dare to do?
After listening to Zhou Anmu's words, the old man Xie suddenly changed his color and said coldly, "Is my lord a hero? Is it a small general you? On the contrary, it's strange for the general to help you abuse, ignore the national law, and invade the city of the imperial court. What face do you have to say here? In addition, I heard that your life seems to have been saved by my adult, right? I am ungrateful and don't know who to refer to? I'm really ashamed to talk to people like you."
After Mr. Xie finished speaking, he ignored Zhou Anmu, who was pale under the city, and turned to the soldiers on the top of the city and said, "Generals and soldiers, it is responsible for defending the land. If anyone dares to take another step closer, kill him."
"Yes..."
The soldiers in the city have been angry for a long time. After Lu Qiang moved into Jiangling, he treated the people well, loved soldiers, and had a high reputation among the military and civilians. Now these people in the city have slandered the heroes in their hearts. How can they not hate them? Although some adults are strictly forbidden to fight, they really want these people to come closer, so that they will have no scruples when shooting.
Zhou Anmu in the city was so angry that he almost vomited blood by the old man Xie's words. He trembled all over but couldn't say a word for a long time.
In fact, he also knows that what old man Xie said is right. The appointment of Lu Qiang as the governor of Jing and Jiang has long been spread all over the world. It is normal for them to take over Xunyang. What's any reason why you not to return the city to others? Even if this lawsuit hits the Golden Hall, Liu Yu will not win.
But the truth is one thing, and whether it is emotionally acceptable is another. However, Mr. Xie's words also woke him up.
What if you see Lu Qiang? Let others give up the city? On what basis? Talk about feelings? Do you still have feelings for the two now?
Zhou Anmu, who understood, took a deep breath and shouted at the head of the city: "Lu Qiang, you saved me. Zhou felt your kindness and took you to join the army. Now that you have betrayed yourself from the North House and seized my city, it is useless to say so far. Zhou just wants to say that from now on, your and my enmity will be wiped off, and he will be wiped off. Goodbye, never tolerable"
Zhou Anmu turned his horse's head and waved at the iron war: "Withdrawal"
The iron war mouth moved, but in the end he still didn't say anything. The biggest responsibility for this matter lies with him. If he leads the army to attack the city without knowingly, I'm afraid Liu Yu will not tolerate him afterwards. What can be done now is to report to Liu Yu immediately and ask General Liu Yu to make a final determination.
20,000 Beifu troops came fiercely, but they left. What kind of morale did they talk about? Under the leadership of Zhou and Tie, they retreated in dismay.
Lu Qiang stood at the mouth of the wall and looked at the fading Beifu army. There was no fluctuation in his heart. As Zhou Anmu said, he met on the battlefield every day, and all that was left was you and I would live...
