Chapter 110: Thousands of Riders Entering Gaochang
Murong Longhun's national letter arrived in Gaochang first than Li Xiaofei's army. Ju Renshan took the national letter and passed it to the ministers on both sides to watch, and everyone laughed.
"Is this Tuyuhun drunk too much barley wine, and two thousand people were going to destroy us, and told us about the marching route."
"I think they are suspicious of the military strategy. Now the army of the Black Flag Khanate has entered Guanzhong. They are guarding against us to go south, so they deliberately rumored that they were coming to attack us."
"Whether it is true or false, we will have to conduct strict investigations during this period. If these thieves go crazy and really come over, we will be prepared."
Ju Renshan sat down and picked up a glass of wine: "Don't panic, we have spies there, and we are back, so why not let him say it."
Ju Renshan snapped his fingers and two spies came in and knelt down: "Greetings to King Gaochang!"
Ju Renshan winked, and a servant brought wine and food to the two of them. They respectfully took it and put it aside.
Ju Renshan smiled slightly: "Is it true that they are going to send troops here?"
The thin one said first: "It's true, there are two thousand people, one thousand prisoners of war from the Green Flag Khanate, and one thousand Tuyuhun people."
Ju Renshan looked at the fat one: "What he said is correct?"
The fat man didn't hesitate: "It was indeed two thousand people, and they drove cattle, sheep, horse and horse carriage to the desert south of us. It was estimated that it would be there in ten days."
Ju Renshan suddenly remembered Murong Ling, and hurriedly asked, "What is the name of the leader? Is it the very beautiful Murong Ling with high martial arts skills?"
The thin one returned: "It's not him, the leader is Li Xiaofei, he looks stupid."
Ju Renshan breathed a sigh of relief: "If Li Xiaofei came alone, even 20,000 people would not be afraid. It seems that they are either making a fool of themselves or being really crazy."
Everyone laughed: "We just need to set up a formation at the end of the desert and wait for them to die!"
Ju Renshan waved his hand and signaled the two spies to go down, then raised his cups to face the ministers: "Be careful that the ship is sailing for ten thousand years. We have 20,000 troops, and we will send 5,000 guards at the end of the desert, and then send 5,000 troops to support us. There are still 1,000 troops in the city that can be ready to attack at any time. They can only fight one thousand people, and that thousand prisoners of war will not be able to work hard for them. We will win this battle no matter how we fight!"
Everyone was immersed in the dream of victory, and while sending soldiers outside the city, they drank and watched dance and music every day.
Along the way, the Thousand Ghost Cavalry asked Li Xiaofei if he was sure. Li Xiaofei always smiled foolishly: "I'm not sure, I will die by myself? Don't worry, I saw that there were no one thousand people in Mobei in front. They were walking in front. If they couldn't fight, we would still be a long way from the enemy. It would be fine to escape back."
The soldiers laughed and said, "Our riding skills are the best in the tribe, and the Gaochang people can't catch up at all!"
The Green Flag Khanate prisoners of war walking in front also discussed in private. As soon as they stepped into the territory of Gaochang, they would rush into the city and wanted nothing to provide. They just entered the city and closed the city gate and waited for the royal court to send people to pick them up.
The two groups of people had their own ulterior motives and were about to run away, but Li Xiaofei pretended not to know and continued to move forward swagger.
When he was about to walk out of the desert, he encountered the pond where he was running for his life. Li Xiaofei asked everyone to soak their shields and armor in the water for half an hour before putting on them.
Everyone complained, but they did as they did. When they put it on, they were wet all over, and their armor and shields were covered in water, but they were more tough.
Seeing that there was a large green space in front of him, the soldiers were going to send scouts to explore the way, but Li Xiaofei wanted to lead the way himself and let everyone follow.
A thousand prisoners of war saw the green space appear
Then he threw down his baggage and drove the carriage and the cattle to the north. The Ghost Cavalry was about to chase him, and Li Xiaofei reached out to stop him: "They are the best pavement explorers!"
The Gaochang Army, who was ambushing near the green space, was originally worried that the people from the Green Flag Khanate were unable to get started with the Tuyuhun army. Now the two groups of people separated and the time was already here.
A Thousand Ghost Sheep Riders had just entered the green space for dozens of miles, and the sound of killing around them was shocking the sky, and arrows were soaked. Ghost Sheep Riders were usually trained by Li Xiaofei with straw arrows, and at this time they raised their shields to block their faces. The Ghost Sheep Rider's armor and shield were soaked in tung oil. At this moment, they were dipped in water, and there was no scratch on the arrows, and they all fell to the ground. Occasionally, a few horses were shot to the ground, but the people were safe and sound.
After several rounds of arrows were shot in the Gaochang Army, they found that the other party was not dead, so they felt a little guilty. The Ghost Cavalry no longer wanted to escape. Li Xiaofei pointed his sword forward: "Brothers, we are invulnerable. Pick up the big stick and wooden fork in our hands to let them see it!"
A rain of arrows just now made the Ghost Race know their strength, so they were very motivated and rushed north with big sticks and wooden forks.
The Gaochang Kingdom had a large number of soldiers and horses, so they surrounded them together. However, when they approached the Guiyang Rider, they were crossed out by a wooden fork, or swung away by a big stick. After finally, some people were slashed and stabbed a few times, but they found that the swords and guns in their hands could not penetrate the armor of the Guiyang Rider. They either slashed the swords and slipped or speared the guns.
Li Xiaofei led a thousand people to rush forward and soon rushed to the city gate. At this moment, the prisoners of war from the Green Flag Khanate were congested at the city gate.
When the defenders on the city saw Li Xiaofei coming, they tried their best to shoot arrows down despite the fact that there were people from the Green Flag Khanate under the city.
After more than a dozen rounds of arrows were shot, most of the prisoners of war in the Green Flag Khanate were shot to death, but no one was shot to death.
As soon as the arrow rain stopped, the city gate was opened by the few remaining Green Flag Khanate prisoners. They were shot hard by the Gaochang people. After these prisoners opened the door, they immediately made way for the Guiyang Cavalry.
Li Xiaofei was not willing to miss the opportunity, so he led the Ghost Cavalry and rushed in with one go. The Gaochang Kingdom's troops followed behind and chased after him but did not dare to go forward, and were fifty feet away.
Li Xiaofei knew the arrangement of Gaochang City and led people to rush towards the palace. Ju Renshan, who was still drinking at this time, heard the enemy who had rushed into the city to kill the palace, so he led his left and right into the tunnel to avoid it.
After Li Xiaofei and everyone occupied the palace, they searched several times but did not find Ju Renshan, so they found the palace guards and servants to ask, but no one knew about it. The subordinates wanted to kill these maids and servants, and Li Xiaofei quickly scolded and stopped them: "They refused to betray their masters, they are loyal people, and they cannot be killed, so they can drive them out of the palace."
Li Xiaofei looked at the treasures in the palace and ordered people to carry them out a few boxes, post a notice, informing everyone that they could help Li Xiaofei find Ju Renshan's reward.
With the heavy reward, a few people came, and they pointed to the floor of the palace: "There are authenticity and secret rooms below! The king must be inside!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ghost Cavalry found tools to break the floor directly. There were indeed dozens of secret rooms and five passages below. Several soldiers wanted to jump down to catch people, but were stopped by Li Xiaofei: "There must be mechanisms and ambushers below. Our people cannot die easily. You go find hundreds of people to transport water to fill the bottom!"
There were already several wells outside the palace. The Guiyang Rider found hundreds of people to dig a trenches and pour water under the floor. After three hours, someone shouted for help below. Li Xiaofei ordered everyone to throw down the rope and pulled everyone in the dark room up.
Ju Renshan was the last one to be pulled up, soaked and dejected: "Give me some fun!"
Li Xiaofei looked at Ju Renshan and said, "I won't kill you, after all, I will suffer too."
Pass your favor! Attack you to give justice to Gao Gong of Gao Chang, you deceived Gao Chang!”
Ju Renshan turned his head and looked at the onlookers and the officials kneeling on the ground: "Did I treat them badly? The subjects of Gaochang Kingdom have become kings. Aren't your life better?"
Everyone responded: "The king abolished the strict laws and returned us freedom, so that we could enjoy delicious food and wine every day!"
"The king brought the prosperous and powerful Gaochang. You are robbers and invaders!"
"You must get out of Gaochang and return our peaceful and prosperous era!"
Li Xiaofei was speechless for a moment, and a voice came from outside: "That's just your freedom! We poor people are even poorer, and we are selling our children and working hard all our lives, and we can only get daily rations!"
"The money has been earned by you businessmen and officials! We can only live in the ditch and in the horse shed! We have to do things for you if we are not full or wet, and we have to do things for you!"
Li Xiaofei sneered: "Ju Renshan, is this the freedom and good day you brought? At that time, Lord Gao was a little strict, but it was fair to everyone. And you incited people to destroy all this, and from then on, Gaochang City became your comfort nest for the poor! Do you still think you are right? You turned countless Gaochang people into slaves, prostitutes, thieves, is this the good day you mentioned?"
Ju Renshan lowered his head again: "Things have come to this point, you kill me!"
Li Xiaofei pointed out of the door: "I will hand you over to your people to deal with it!"
"It seems that you have learned that kind of trick, good means, congratulations on your growth. If you don't do it, you are afraid of carrying a bad reputation for killing your friends. You can use these untouchables to get rid of me, so that you will feel calm. Haha" Ju Renshan raised his head and smiled.
Li Xiaofei wanted to take him down and lock him up first, but then he thought that he could not change his orders every day, so he advised Ju Renshan: "As long as you kneel down for your people and admit your mistake, I will protect you!"
Li Xiaofei's eyes were very sincere, and he really didn't want to kill this person who had treated him well in the past.
"Haha, you are such a natural slave. Since ancient times, no real king has ever knelt down to others for mercy? I have never become a real king, but I am also a king. Once I embarked on this path, I will not turn back! I will not beg for mercy!" After that, I rushed to the crowd.
The angry people who had been suppressing for a long time also rushed towards Ju Renshan, and Ju Renshan's clothes and flesh were flying in the air. Li Xiaofei and his soldiers kept everyone away. At this time, Ju Renshan had already been bitten and died.
Li Xiaofei was thinking of his old love, so he asked the soldiers to take Ju Renshan's body back and bury it in the yard of the palace. Then he asked the poor to deal with the wealthy business officials in the city, and selected several leading officials as the civil protection officials in Gaochang City, and asked them to manage Gaochang City.
Li Xiaofei stayed in Gaochang for half a month, and his subordinates kept reporting to the new guarantor, and started to engage in salt and iron business, and began to embezzle and bribe. Some poor people plundered the rich businessmen and became rich businessmen themselves, but instead began to bully their previous poor partners.
Li Xiaofei's men were preparing to continue killing people, and Li Xiaofei sighed: "Forget it, there are people who are endless to kill, and we can't change them. The most important thing now is to bring all the craftsmen from Gaochang Country back, as well as iron-smelting stoves and charcoal!"
The Ghost Rider searched in Gaochang City for another three days. Li Xiaofei led them and 300 craftsmen and fifty vehicles of equipment to slowly drive south. Gaochang City returned to the hands of the people of Gaochang, but the sunset in the sky was even more red.
When Li Xiaofei left the city, he looked back at Gaochang City. The flags on it changed again. Li Xiaofei sighed and turned around and continued to walk.
