Chapter 1892: The Battle of Yanjing (3): Seizing the Commander
Liu Che appointed Xue Gang as the general of chariots and cavalry, commanding the entire city's troops and horses to defend Yanjing City and resist the Qin army.
In addition, in order to save the consumption of grain and grass, Liu Che ordered the seizure of grain and grass in the whole city.
“From now on, Yanjing will implement a daily grain distribution system. No one is allowed to hide grain privately. Hiding more than ten kilograms of grain will be punished as treason.”
As soon as this order came out, not only the aristocratic families, but also the common people were in an uproar, but Liu Che still relied on his personal prestige to calm the common people down.
The rations in the hands of the people are not much. After handing it over, the state will be responsible for the rations, which is more cost-effective, and the aristocratic families will suffer again.
They just took away the clan soldiers, and now they come to steal food.
Even if you are gathering wool, you can't just catch one sheep, and this sheep of the Shijia family was almost stripped bare by Liu Che.
You Liu Che fight with Qin Hao, but you can't beat Qin Hao, and you bully our family, what kind of skill is this?
Although the aristocratic family is still indignant about this, they have no choice but to let the man be a human being.
Liu Che successfully recovered the entire city's grain and grass, saving enough to feed the entire city for a year. His control over Yanjing City reached an unprecedented level.
Now it is said that the family is aristocratic, even the spies of the Qin army have to obtain food from the Han army, and it is almost impossible to disintegrate Yanjing City from within.
First the clan soldiers, then the food and grass.
Liu Che has raided the Youzhou family, and now the Youzhou family is so poor that only their money is left.
Just when the Youzhou family thought that Liu Che wanted them to hand over their money, Liu Che did not do so.
Liu Che accepted the soldiers and food from the family to eliminate hidden dangers in the city and ensure that Yanjing City could be defended. If he robbed the family of money, it would be completely untenable morally.
Liu Che's reputation is now ruined. If he loses even the most basic morality, I am afraid that even the people in the city will alienate him, and then the gains will not be worth the losses.
Liu Che's side used many tactics to protect Yanjing City to death, and Xue Rengui also successfully joined forces with Su Dingfang.
After conquering the cities of Guangyang and Jundu, and killing the two generals Xianyu, Fu, Xianyu and Yin, Xue Rengui and Lu Bu's 40,000-strong army marched all the way east to the city of Yanjing, and finally joined forces with Su Dingfang's 30,000-strong army.
"Brother Su, you haven't completely pacified Yuyang yet, so you rushed into Guangyang. It's been so many days, why haven't you captured Yanjing yet?" Xue Rengui said sarcastically with a smile.
"It's better that you let Huo Guang and Xue Gang go and let their 20,000 troops return to Yanjing, otherwise I would have defeated the city of Yanjing." Su Dingfang said angrily.
"you…"
Xue Rengui's face suddenly changed, and he snorted: "Humph, sophistry."
“That’s what it is…”
The two of them were talking and talking, and gradually turned into fighting each other, and later, there was even a tendency to fight.
Seeing this, Lu Bu and Sun Lingming looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say. Don't they have a good personal relationship? Why did they start quarreling as soon as they met?
Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui have a good personal relationship, but the mutual hostility between the two people is actually to distinguish priorities.
Logically speaking, it was Su Dingfang who attacked Yanjing City first. Xue Rengui should obey Su Dingfang's command. However, Xue Rengui was also the commander of the First Army, so naturally he was unwilling to submit to Su Dingfang.
At the same time, Xue Rengui also felt that Su Dingfang couldn't wait to come to Yanjing to grab the credit before he had completely captured Yuyang. This was too ugly.
Su Dingfang knew Xue Rengui's thoughts, so he used the excuse that Xue Rengui failed to retain and release Huo Guang, which resulted in the failure of his surprise attack on Yanjing. In this way, Xue Rengui was not qualified to compete with him for the command of the general.
Of course Xue Rengui cannot take the blame. Regardless of whether he lets Huo Guang come back or not, Su Dingfang cannot capture Yanjing City, because Su Dingfang has not attacked Yanjing City since he invaded Guangyang.
You don’t even attack the city, how can you defeat it? Are you waiting for Liu Che to open the city and surrender?
Su Dingfang also had his own explanation for Xue Rengui's words, that is, he had his own plan, but due to Huo Guang's return, the plan died.
Xue Rengui almost wanted to vomit blood when he heard this.
Brother, you are lying to the truth, just for the position of the head coach, isn't that true?
Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang argued for an hour, but neither of them believed in the other. Both wanted to be the commander, and neither wanted to be subordinate to the other.
Just when the two of them were staring at each other, Li Hongzhang came with Qin Hao's order.
“The King of Qin has ordered that after the two armies merge, Su Lie will be the leader and Xue Li will be the deputy…”
It turned out that Qin Hao had long expected that Xue Rengui would be dissatisfied with Su Dingfang after the two armies joined forces, so he asked Li Hongzhang to come to announce the decree in advance.
With Qin Hao's order, Su Dingfang could legitimately control Xue Rengui and Lu Bu's troops, and Yanjing's 70,000-strong army had a unified command.
Xue Rengui was not better than Su Dingfang in terms of commander, but Qin Hao chose Su Dingfang, not because he valued Su Dingfang and despised Xue Rengui, but to stimulate the country-destroying attribute of Su Dingfang's "brave" skill.
Su Dingfang's "Yonglie" has the effect of 3 destroying a country. Every time a country is destroyed, the five dimensions will be permanently +1, and it can be activated four times in total. At present, Su Dingfang has activated his country-destroying attribute three times, wiping out the two small princes Wang Kuang and Zhang Chao, as well as Yuan Shao's Zhao State. He is still short of the last time to complete his merits, so of course Qin Hao wants to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty. The opportunity was given to Su Dingfang.
Su Dingfang felt relieved after being appointed. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to deal with Xue Rengui. After all, Xue Rengui's merits and qualifications were not much inferior to his, and he was no match for him in a military competition.
“Brother Xue, it seems that my lord still trusts me more.”
Su Dingfang looked at Xue Rengui with a smile, as if he was getting an advantage and still behaved.
"But you don't have to be discouraged. This time, after all, it was my brother and I who attacked Yanjing City first. Next time if you arrive first, my lord will make you the chief general."
“Hmph, why are you so proud?”
Xue Rengui snorted in displeasure and said, "Brother Su, if you want me to be my brother, I will take you as my master. I can do whatever you want, but you have to agree to one condition."
"tell me the story."
“I heard that Brother Su has two daughters, one is Baofeng and the other is Jinlian. They are gentle, virtuous, and as beautiful as flowers.
My son Ding Shan, both civil and military, young Junjie, and have not yet been married. I wonder if Brother Su is willing to kiss and kiss his brother? "
“What? No.”
Su Dingfang decisively refused. After all, Xue Dingshan was not a young hero, but a demon king.
Xue Dingshan and Yue Yun are two of the biggest dandies in Luoyang. With the support of their fathers and Qin Xuewu, they do all kinds of evil in Luoyang City. They do all kinds of things like sneaking around, and even they are not married yet. But Yue Fei and Xue Rengui was worried.
Su Dingfang naturally would not push his daughter into the brazier, so he decisively gathered Xue Rengui's marriage proposal.
Seeing Su Dingfang refuse so decisively, Xue Rengui felt a little embarrassed, but before he could refute, what Su Dingfang said next made him dumbfounded.
"By the way, Brother Xue, if you want to get married, you can marry your daughter to my son."
As he said that, Su Dingfang's eyes suddenly lit up, he grabbed Xue Rengui's hand and said: "Brother Xue, your golden lotus is about to get hairpins in two years, and my son Qingjie is also not married yet, so he is a perfect match for your golden lotus." ah."
“You’re thinking shit.”
Xue Rengui said angrily. He originally wanted to propose a marriage to his hopeless son, but Su Dingfang instead wanted to marry his daughter.
Xue Jinlian was Xue Rengui's sweetheart. She was loved by the whole family. If she wanted to marry, she would be married to a leader of the younger generation. Su Dingfang's son Su Qingjie was not in Xue Rengui's consideration at all.
It’s not that Su Dingfang’s son Su Qingjie is not outstanding, but Xue Rengui’s vision for choosing a son-in-law is too high. Compared with Yue Yun and Xue Dingshan, isn’t Su Qingjie too ordinary?
"Hey, Brother Xue, don't leave. We can't celebrate the festival. Then you can see if the treasures can be together. If you have something to discuss, then..."
Lu Bu and Sun Lingming were completely stunned when they saw this.
The two of them were competing for the leadership position. They were grinning just now and looked like they were about to start a fight. How come they were about to kiss the junior in the blink of an eye?
This change must have been too big, so big that even Lu Bu and Sun Lingming didn't even turn the corner.
"General Lu, do you have a daughter?" Sun Lingming asked for no reason.
As soon as Lu Bu heard this, his eyes looked at Sun Lingming, and his eyes instantly became dangerous.
“Boy, don’t have any ideas about my Lingqi, you are not worthy.”
After saying that, Lu Bu turned around and left angrily. He was another person who had ideas about his daughter, and her key appearance was like this.
To be honest, Lu Bu admires Sun Lingming very much, but he is definitely not willing to be his son-in-law. After all, few women will like Sun Lingming's dignity. He would rather marry his daughter to Qin Hao than to Sun Lingming.
Looking at Lu Bu's leaving figure, the corners of Sun Lingming's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He heard that the sons of Xue and Su were not yet married, and thought that if Lu Bu had a daughter, he could marry one of the two families, but he did not expect that Lu Bu misunderstood that he was interested in his daughter.
Sun Lingming felt an injustice in his heart. He already had Zixia, and he wouldn't change it even if he gave it to a fairy. How could he still provoke other women?
In Sun Lingming's heart, except for Emperor Ming and Zixia who didn't dislike his appearance, all other women were pink skeletons. No matter how beautiful they were, he would not be tempted by them.
The second update is here, and I still owe 7 chapters.
