Chapter 1,000 Chapter 65: The armor is slapped by Hu Shuang (continued 2)

In the city of Anyi (now Yuncheng, Shanxi) in Hezhong Prefecture, there was already a lot of crying and noisy. Because the soldiers and horses brought back by Wang Chongrong were robbing the people in the city under his acquiescence; only a few people who were informed by him and were able to retreat into the inner city with their families were spared.

Although it is inevitable that there will be another persuasion between the people who are a little restrained by him or who are compassionate with the people; they are all severely rebuked by him and even dragged them down on the spot to punish him, so no one dares to say something more in front of him.

As the master who has ruled Hezhong Town for many years, how could he not know the interests? The benefits of Yanchi between Anyi and Jie County were the foundation of his founding, and thus created a large number of local people who were closely related to him, and were more favorable than other places in terms of money, grain, taxation and taxation.

However, because of this, he had to do this; compared to the people and reputation that were quickly corrupted in the city, he cared more about and cared about these soldiers who were under his command, who were unable to receive the expected reward and vent, and may have the risk of agitation.

After all, the risks and subsequent impact of losing the hearts of the local people are all things in the future; but if these Qiu Bas under his command get the opportunity to stir up the noise, then even the current level cannot be overcome, so how can there be more prospects in the future?

He still vaguely remembers how the former Jiedu, Li Du, who was the former governor many years ago, was taken advantage of Huang Chao's opportunity to cross the border and suddenly attacked and occupied the salt pond, which was forced to take advantage of the situation and forced the Xiezhong to go desperately and could only run away in disgrace.

However, Li Du, the governor appointed by the court, could still save his life after stepping down; but Wang Chongrong, who was based on Hezhong Prefecture, could not, or with his years of strict and cruel military management and control methods, as long as he gave in to the inside, he would be a disaster for the destruction of the whole family.

Therefore, he could only deal with the imminent crisis by abandoning the far and taking the near, so that these soldiers could be satisfied, so that there would be more futures to speak of. Of course, he did not just do nothing but wait for death.

In addition to secretly ordering Wang Yao, the eldest son who stayed in Puban City, to continue to send people to secretly maintain sufficient contact, if the matter is unstoppable, the peaceful thieves who are opposite to the shore can surrender to preserve the possibility of a bloodline passed down from generation to generation;

On the other hand, he also secretly negotiated with Taiyuan Prefecture through his children and relatives who had close ties with the King of Qi County. Although he might not expect to achieve decent peace terms due to the deep grudges, it would be better if he could delay for a while.

At the same time, he also sent a messenger to Chengde Army in Shangdang through the branch path of Taihangxing to send money to the Chengde Army in Shangdang. Although the distance cannot quench the near thirst, he can hope to compete with the Heyang Army for Ze. The other party in Luzhou took the opportunity to put enough pressure and restrain the Heyang Army.

Then, people were sent to the Heyang Army to give up with sufficient benefits and costs in exchange for the opponent's temporary suspension of troops in Zhiguanxing, and even if necessary, some situations could be ceded to introduce the Heyang Army to the situation of assisting the war.

In this way, he could create a certain opportunity for him to gather his nephew Wang Ke and other partial troops back; then continue to go north to resolve the siege of Linfen, Jinzhou, and use each other as bargaining chips between the Taiping thieves and Shatuo Army, and strive to get the opportunity to escape unscathed at the last line.

Even if he cannot maintain his troops and power in the future, he will have to retire with his wealth that he has accumulated for many years, so as to ensure that his family and relatives are prosperous. However, the cruel reality gave him a blow without hesitation.

Just when he ordered to gather these soldiers who were still unsatisfied and continued to reorganize the army to fight and rescue the siege; a sudden bad news made him feel as if he had been beaten to a scoundrel, and he was so dizzy that he could no longer be able to do so.

"What! There is a change in Puzaka City!"

"Chang Xingru, the military envoy in front of the Yai, led his troops into the city in the name of being ordered to come and support?"

"Then suddenly started attacking and occupied the West Gate, and then welcoming the thief in peace?"

At this moment, Wang Chongrong felt as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had collapsed, and could not speak for a while. With the change of hands of the Pujin Dui, the hub of Puban City, it can be said that the plains located at the southern end of the Fenshui Valley, including Hezhong Prefecture, were all visible under the Taiping thieves' military force;

Despite this, he finally tried hard to come back to his senses, and shouted with all his last strength: "Send the order to detach the camp and go to Jinzhou quickly..." Then, without hesitation, he pulled the messenger down and executed him secretly.

At least, before getting the news in the army, he retreated into the vast mountains and hilly areas between Jin, Jiang and Ci, and perhaps he could continue to deal with it with the terrain, and then seek a decent exit between the north and the south.

But things didn't go as expected. On the second day after the hasty camping troops headed north overnight, they arrived near Mirakawa near Quwo, Jiangzhou, and suddenly there was a stir and a riot. Because the people sent by Changxingru from Xiancheng, Puban also caught up and mixed into the army, and secretly started to clamor:

"There will be no more return date when you go to Jinzhou..."

"At the festival, we will abandon the vast river elders and go to Shatuo people."

"If you go to the relatives of the Tu family, you will never see each other again..."

Most of the army was local people in Hezhong. When they heard this, they were shocked and clamored. It was too late to go to suppress Wang Chongrong when he received the news. From Jie County, Anyi and other places, the replenishment and recruitment of the troops to 20,000 were all scattered, and most of them were scattered in a blink of an eye.

For a time, all kinds of flags, armor and weapons were discarded everywhere. In the end, it was Wang Chongrong's many years of grace to win over the enemy. In the end, there were five or six thousand people willing to follow him and continued to move forward and arrived at the city of Quwo.

However, before Wang Chongrong ordered the local wealthy families to offer assistance, he encountered another bad news. Quwo seemed to have closed the four gates and turned him out of the city. It turned out that the news that he had plundered Anyi and Jie County had been spread one step ahead of time.

Then, there were also guards responsible for guarding Hankou, the northern end of Zhiguan Xing in Jiang County, and more than 5,000 local regiments trained troops. On the grounds of the great enemy's current situation, they refused the order to divide the troops to join, and also asked Wang Chongrong for subsequent food and grass.

For a moment, Wang Chongrong only felt that the people were betrayed by their relatives and were inseparable from internal and external affairs. Even many foreign military generals were unreliable, so he could only temporarily abandon these problems and continue to send troops to plunder local towns, which also brought many young and strong men to advance to Linfen.

Because there were his nephew Wang Yun and Wang Feng, who were in charge of the last elite troops of the two armies and six guards in Hezhong Town, including the Kuangzheng Army, Shilou Guard, and Jinzhou Governor Training. More than 10,000 people were in charge.

However, just after he led these men and horses slowly marched to Shenshan County in Jinzhou, at the foot of Yangjiao Mountain; he bumped head-on into a Hedong vassal cavalry that broke through the south and plundered;

Wang Chongrong personally came to the front and raised the drum to urge the battle, and in one go, he broke through the riverside at the foot of Yangjiao Mountain, beheaded hundreds of them and wiped them out; he got more than a hundred cattle and horses. He was able to slaughter and eat a meal and his morale was boosted;

Then, the Hezhong Army, which was about to eat, was attacked by several vassal cavalry one after another; the battles were all swept north and the camp was dispersed, and they had to abandon their baggage and defeat them to the south;

In the end, only more than a hundred personal cavalry escorted Wang Chongrong himself, rushed out of the blockade and the souvenir and fled nearby into Yangjiao Mountain, and was unknown.

At the same time, the devastated city of Anyi also welcomed the formation of Xu Yi, the third general of the Taiping Army, in Puzhou, which had already changed hands.

In the middle of the flags, General Xu Yi, surrounded by many soldiers wearing helmets and armor, also asked Chang Xingru, who was extremely respectful to him:

"The Lord asked me to ask you what you want when you lead the people to offer the city and submit to you."

"It's just family feuds and personal grudges;"

Chang Xingru replied without hesitation:

"The Wang family was cruel and cruel to my brothers, and they often killed them, and later they even had the hatred of love. A family endured for many years and never received any chance to repay them, so they could only rely on the strength of the army to get the snow."

"Then you really have nothing to ask for?"

Xu Yijiang looked at him unmovedly and said

"Not that, although the whole family of Wang family deserves to die, there are several people who are kind to Yu, who are willing to seek grace to support him in another house in the future, and ask the nobles to fulfill one or two."

Chang Xingru couldn't help but feel a stern in his heart, but his expression became more and more humble:

“Is that enough?”

Xu Yi asked with a smile:

"Enough, enough..."

Chang Xingru lowered his head and said in fear:

"It would be fine if Wang Chongrong is not a day. The villain who has no other skills and has betrayed the master's family, the Mongolian army was able to save their lives and have a place to settle down. How could he dare to ask too much for it?"

"It's fine if you dare not ask for it, but the king gave more than this grace!"

Xu Yi then opened his voice with a certain meaning:

"The King said that as long as you continue to cooperate with the 'pacification' of the good place; even if you change your identity in the future, and then divide your family belongings into the Wang family, you will be a rich man in a foreign land, and what about?"

"Thank you for your grace..."

Chang Xingru was overjoyed when he heard this, but he did not hesitate to bow to the direction west towards Chang'an.

At this time, another messenger rushed over and sent the troops of Wang Ke, the Hezhong Army, who was attacked from three sides, and was unable to advance or retreat. There was a civil strife on the spot and he was surrendered.
