On the camp gate.

Under the banner of the word "Zhang", Zhang Xiu, Dian Wei and Jia Xu stood on the camp gate. Looking up at the movement in the city, he saw a large group of men and horses coming down from the city, and then the city gates opened.

"Hehehe. Although Li Dao is a general, he is a little worse after all. Zhang Xiu smiled, and then without waiting for Jia Xu to answer, he took the lead and walked down the camp gate, and Dian Wei followed him with his sword. Behind the camp gate, the soldiers and horses were already neat. In total, there were 2,000 infantry troops and 3,000 cavalry. The cavalry was in front, and the infantry was behind.

"I wish the general to behead Li Dao and enter the city. Jia Xu didn't go down, but just saluted Zhang Xiu slightly.

Zhang Xiu turned over and took a pure black gun from a personal soldier, dressed in black iron armor, and let him melt into the night.

"Open the camp gates. Zhang Xiu fiddled with the big gun and said to the soldier.

The gate of the camp was not closed at all, but it was hidden. The soldiers opened the door very easily, and Zhang Xiu didn't shout, but just went to the front with Dian Wei and other cavalry and killed Li Dao's army.

"Kill !!!!" Opposite. The soldiers under Zhang Xiu's command were agitated, and the sound of shouting and killing automatically came out of his mouth, and the sound shook the world.

After the army was killed, it was divided into two. Several soldiers led the cavalry and rushed straight to the left and right of Li Dao's army, attacking from three sides.

"Hahahaha. Li Dao, you are also in the scheme. Today is your death period, and I will use your head to pay tribute to my uncle Zhang Ji. Zhang Xiu laughed loudly, then his smile retracted, and he rushed forward with a big gun, with dozens of light horsemen such as Dian Wei beside him, and two thousand infantry behind him.

"Hit the mark. There was no need for Zhang Xiu to remind him loudly, as soon as Li Dao heard the sound of horses' hooves, he knew that he had been tricked. His first reaction was to rein in the horse and return to the city to defend himself. Even if you lose a little soldier or horse, as long as you go back to the city, you can still hold it.

But Zhang Xiu's cavalry had already come up from the left and right, and Sergeant Li was caught off guard, and he was also frightened, and he had no heart to fight at all.

Li Dao's army was about to collapse at the first touch, and Zhang Xiu's two cavalry easily entered from the left and right flanks.

"Those who stand in my way will die, !!!" Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei led dozens of light horsemen from the front to kill, and in just a moment, they killed in front of Li Dao.

"Kill !!" Li Dao's face was ugly, and he knew that there was no possibility of being spared tonight. At this time, he remembered the past, and he may not regret it.

"If he knew that there was such an end, he would have gone to save Zhang Ji that day.

But before he died, Li Dao also had the courage of blood, and he actually shook the big gun in his hand, rode a horse and fought with Zhang Xiu, and in only ten rounds, Li Dao was stabbed to death by Zhang Xiu with a shot. Seeing that his general killed Li Dao, Zhang Xiujun was naturally very excited and cheered.

"General Shenwei Tian!!" and "General Shenwei Tian!!"

also had a spiritual personal soldier turned over and dismounted, cut off Li Wei's head, and put it in the cloth bag he carried.

Since Li Dao died, Li Dao's army collapsed immediately, and there was no need for Zhang Xiu to shout anything "those who surrender will not be killed", he automatically let go of his weapon, knelt down, and shouted: "The general spares his life." "

It's so smooth and distressing.

Zhang Xiu said loudly to these soldiers: "I, Zhang Xiu, am a person of faith and righteousness, and I will not kill good people indiscriminately. You can rest assured. Let's go and knock on the door, saying that Li Dao is dead. Open the gates and let me in. "

No. Li Dao's troops were suddenly amnesty, and several leading figures hurriedly stood up and led the troops to call the door. But they fell short.

Because the soldiers and horses guarding the city were smoother than them, they were condescending, and they took everything into their eyes, first the soul was angry, and the second thought was to open the city gate to welcome Zhang Xiu into the city.

Zhang Xiu shook his head when he saw this, Li Daojun's military discipline was really rotten. Immediately, without thinking much about it, he ordered the whole army to enter the city.

After entering the city, Zhang Xiu did not walk around the city. He led Dian Wei to cross the gate tower in the west of the city, guarded it with 2,000 infantry troops, and went outside the city to inform Jia Xu, so that Jia Xu could lead the baggage and the rest of the men and horses into the city. At the same time, Zhang Xiu asked several soldiers of Li Dao's army to serve as attendants, divided the cavalry into three, and went to recruit the defenders of the remaining three city walls, and let the army in the east, south, and north of the city enter the city.

Zhang Xiu gave a strict order, and there was no forgiveness for killing in the face of resistance. The brothers and children of Li Dao's same clan in the city were also beheaded, leaving no trouble.

The matter was a foregone conclusion, the defenders of the remaining three city gates did not resist, and even the officers came forward, they killed Li Dao's brother Li Or, and the rest of Li Dao's clan, and then opened the city gate to welcome Zhang Xiu's army into the city, and after Zhang Xiu's army controlled the four city walls, these generals rode their horses to the west gate tower of the city, and asked Zhang Xiu to surrender and ask for guilt in person, and called "the guilty general".

Zhang Xiu was kind enough to appease these people, but he immediately dismissed them from their official positions and let them cultivate in their mansions.

After these things were done, Zhang Xiu summoned Gongdu, Jia Xu, Hu Che'er, Dian Wei and others in the gate tower of Chenxi City.

Of course, Dian Wei didn't need to be summoned at all, and he never left Zhang Xiu's side. Zhang Xiu went up to the first one, and he held his sword on the left side of Zhang Xiu without moving, like a sculpture.

Jia Xu sat under Zhang Xiu's right hand, and Hu Che'er and Gongdu both sat under Zhang Xiu's left hand, with a clear distinction between civil and military.

Including Jia Xu, the three of them were more or less happy. Hu Che'er is even more happy.

"Although Li Dao has been beheaded, you must not slack off. Seeing this, Zhang Xiu put down the joy in her heart and said in a deep voice. Then the tiger looked at Hu Che'er, full of threat.

"No. Hu Che'er was like a mouse seeing a cat, and immediately struck a spirit, and sang obediently with the Gongdu.

Zhang Xiu smiled with satisfaction when he saw this, and then said: "Li Dao is dead, and it is enough for me to leave 5,000 infantry troops and 5,000 cavalry to garrison Shangqi City." Hu Che'er. You go down and order 10,000 fine rides, and recharge your energy tonight. Tomorrow, he will go out of the city to the outside of Xiangping City and confront Ma Teng. Don't fight, just tell Ma Teng that the city of Shangtai has been broken and Li Dao is dead. When I had cavalry attack him, he retreated at least twenty miles and set up camp. The siege of Xiangping City was also lifted. "

No. Hu Che'er suddenly agreed, bowed to Zhang Xiu, and then turned around and walked out of the city gate.

"Gongdu!" Zhang Xiu said loudly with his face to Gongdu again.

"The subordinates are here. Gongdu's sickly face suddenly became energetic and bowed.

"Li Dao surrendered his troops, and his heart was not credible. Starting tomorrow, you will reorganize Li Dao's troops, and all the original officers who are cunning and have a bad reputation will not be used. Zhang Xiusen said.

Now it is only temporarily stable, and Shangtai City needs to be guarded. After all, Han Sui should also raise troops, and he will come to the battlefield in as little as ten days.

Li Dao's soldiers and horses are newly surrendered, and they should not be trusted. Reorganization is also a top priority, and time is running out.

"No. The altogether agreed, and went down.

"Wen He. After the capital left, Zhang Xiu turned his eyes to Jia Xu.

"In. Jia Xu bowed slightly, calmly.

"I'll give you a hundred personal soldiers, you go to the county government in the city, gather the officials in the city, and appease the officials first. Tomorrow, I will inform the whole city, saying that I, Zhang Xiu, am definitely not a person to kill, and the soldiers and horses will not do anything like thieves, so that the people can be relieved. In addition, count the granaries and treasury to calculate the time when the grain and grass can be eaten.

Zhang Xiu straightened his sitting posture and said with a straight face.

"No. Jia Xu promised. And Zhang Xiu glanced up at Dian Wei. Dian Wei bowed slightly to Zhang Xiu, then took Jia Xu down and selected a hundred strong soldiers for Jia Xu.

As for Zhang Xiu. Now the visibility is too poor in the dark night, just in case, so it is circled in the gate tower in the west of the city.

After Dian Wei came back, Zhang Xiu asked Dian Wei to untie his armor, and then asked his soldiers to get wine and food and boil hot water.

"Zilong is really a brilliant plan. If you wait for the wheat to ripen in the fall. Ma Teng and Han Sui calmly led troops to attack my Luoyang, and I could only defend the city and send people to ask the court for help. Now he killed Cheng Yi and Li Dao, annexed their soldiers and horses, and occupied Shangtai City.

"Shangtai City is tall and sturdy, and it is not far from Luoyang. It is an excellent place to garrison troops, and it can form an angle with Luoyang. "

The results of tonight's battle are so great, Zhang Xiu can't help but look happy, and even has already calculated in his heart which general will guard Shangqi.

Now in the Liangzhou area, Ma Teng and Han Sui's forces are quite strong. If it is entrusted to a non-person, and Shangqi is entrusted to ordinary people, it will definitely be the end of the city's destruction.

Only a dragon in Changshan can guard Shangqi.

"This preemptive attack, the purpose has been achieved. I just need to hold Shangqi and Luoyang counties and wait for the imperial court to send reinforcements.

"Next is next year's Zhongping six years, and the world will fall apart. Zhang

Xiu was in a good mood. Soon after, a soldier came up with wine and food. Zhang Xiu ate and drank heavily, ate three bowls of rice in a row, a pound of cooked meat, and took a hot bath after eating and drinking. He ordered his soldiers to make the bed and fold the quilt, then rolled up the bedding and fell asleep.

Wait until dawn. The gates of the south of the city were wide open.

Under the banner of the word "Hu", the young Hu Che'er held a spear, excitedly led more than 10,000 elite horsemen to sweep up the dust in the sky, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, and went south.

The Gongdu has also preliminarily dealt with the issue of surrendering troops, and plans to install some non-commissioned officers under his command to serve as low-level officers.

The officers who were demoted were stripped of their official positions, and some people were not very happy, but with the knives on their necks, they could only obediently resign and go home.

Not to mention Jia Xu, it is estimated that there will be no problems with using this guy as a prime minister, let alone the officials and people of a city.

The people believed Zhang Xiu's words and went out conscientiously. Then he found that although there were many more soldiers on the street, they did not commit any crimes against the people.

Some basic life was restored.

For example, rice, oil, and salt. But that's all, except for the necessities of life, the people are hiding in their homes.

Soon after, Zhang Xiu also knew the number of people in Shangtai City, and it was only 20,000 or 30,000 people. Except for the land near the city, where crops were grown, the rest of the land was wasteland.

Shangtai City has experienced many wars, and its population has long been about the same.

It is not an economic city, but a strategic city.
