Chapter 154 Seized

The logistics auxiliary officer was reporting: "...According to the confessions of the captured bandit leaders, our army defeated more than 113,000 bandits and bandit followers in this battle. A total of more than 67,000 bandits were beheaded. The leader, Yuan Zongdi, and others were among them. Thirteen thousand people were captured, and the rest fled."

"Also, two French machine guns, twelve tiger crouching cannons and other small guns, 1,100 firearms such as blunderbuss and muskets, 31,000 swords, guns and weapons, and 6,330 pieces of armor were seized. One hundred sets. Eighty thousand dan of grain and grass, and four thousand seven hundred horses."

"We also seized 1,500 taels of gold, 34,000 taels of silver, 120 kilograms of jade, and 210 kilograms of various valuable jewelry. There were 4,500 women."

The fact that women are listed separately is not intentional by the Auxiliary Logistics Officer. Rather, these 4,500 beautiful women were tools used by bandits to vent their animal desires. After the city was destroyed, they were discovered in a camp in the city.

After listening to the report, Zhu Bingkun waved his hand: "After filing, go down and sort out the various collections, and immediately seal up the gold, silver, jewelry and other property. The soldiers' worn-out weapons and armor were replaced first, leaving some intact, and the rest were also sealed up. . And sent someone to send a bunch of seized documents to Yuzhou for Mr. Sun to deal with."

After a pause, Zhu Bingkun said: "I am ordering all the soldiers in the army to rest for a day and eat well. Prepare for the day and wait for orders."

The logistics assistant officer bowed and left.

Although there are perfect statistics of military achievements in the humane rankings, there are still indispensable logistics auxiliary officers in the army. Whether it is the distribution of weapons and armor, the rationing of food and grass, or the recording of various data, the assistant officer's life is indispensable. He was just deprived of the authority to count military achievements.

After the auxiliary officer left, Zhu Bingkun said: "After the battle in Yuzhou, there will be more battles to come. You guys can't relax."

Zheng Wu smiled and said: "Who here dares to relax?"

Then he said: "The most ferocious old thieves among the prisoners have all been beheaded. Before the execution, I asked an old thieves that Yuan Zongdi had sent people to ask for help from the intruders. Maybe the intruders will come in the next moment."

Zhang Shi smiled and said: "I'm afraid the intruder doesn't have the ability to escape the eyes of my subordinate Ye Bushe."

Zhu Bingkun said: "There are tens of thousands of Yuzhou thieves who have escaped. Maybe the intruders have got the news here. This thief bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong. I don't think he dares to come directly. Lao Zhang must pay close attention to Ye Bushou, lest he let go This thief escaped."

Zheng Wu and others all understood the meaning of Zhu Bingkun's words, so Zheng Wu smiled and said: "He can't escape."

At this time, Sun Chuanting, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.

He said with a dark face: "It is true that the intruder cannot escape. He will definitely follow the ideas of you treacherous officials and traitors and attack Kaifeng. Unless he can go to Nanyang, he has no choice but to go all the way to Kaifeng. Huh, Tongguan Department Chief With five thousand people left behind, it will not be easy for him to get over it, not to mention that Guanzhong is now barren, and he doesn't like it."

Sun Chuanting stared and gritted his teeth and said: "The intruders opened the seal again, and the city was in danger. So you sent your troops to attack the intruders, opened the seal, and gained the people's support. Is this what I said right?"

Zhu Bingkun smiled slightly and said to Zheng Jiadong: "Supervisor Sun is tired. General Zheng should take the supervisor down to rest."

Then some soldiers came in, half forced and half pushed, and took Sun Chuanting and Zheng Jiadong away.

After the two of them left, Zheng Jiucai said in a loud voice: "This old guy's sinister mouth is too mean. In my opinion, it's better to kill him and get rid of him. Lao Zhu is just too thoughtful, so why did he call him here to hear a summary? Is it necessary?! "

Zhu Bingkun and others laughed.

Zhu Bingkun said: "Brother Zheng Jiu has a knife on his waist. If you want to kill him, go ahead and kill him. We can't stop him, right?"

Zheng Jiu's eyes widened: "Isn't this because the master didn't let me kill him! I don't understand, what's the use of this old thing?"

Zheng Wu scolded: "You are speaking without restraint! What does the lord think, how can you allow you to question it?"

Zheng Jiu shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.

Zheng Wucai said: "In my opinion, it is better to send Sun Chuanting to Yuzhou. Sun Xiucai has many ways to deal with it. You and I still have to fight here, so we don't have much thought to play tricks on him."

Zhu Bingkun nodded: "When Sun Xiucai sends someone, just send them over."

At this moment, everyone in the hall was startled. Zheng Jiu suddenly let out a howl. Several other people also clenched their fists, veins on their faces jumped, and their whole bodies were trembling and sweating.

After a long while, he exhaled several long breaths one after another.

Zhu Bingkun clenched his fists and said with a smile and a cry: "This military achievement feedback is good everywhere, but this pain is unbearable."

Zheng Jiu tried his fist, smashing a solid desk into pieces with one punch, and said with a sweaty smile: "It hurts, I'm getting stronger again!"

There was a lot of howling among the subordinates, some with high military merit reacted too much at once and howled in pain. There was not much feedback, just a rush of heat flowing through the body and a comfortable howl.

The whole city is like a den of wolves, rising and falling one after another.

"Now if the intruder dares to come in front of me, I will punch him to death!" Zheng Jiu laughed wildly.

...

But it was said that Li Chuang gathered his troops and planned to send troops to Yuzhou, but unexpectedly encountered a rout. After asking, he learned that Yuzhou had been lost and Yuan Zongdi's army collapsed. I couldn't help but feel cold all over for a while.

In such a situation, Li Chuang could no longer think about anything, so he had to bypass Yuzhou and rush to Kaifeng.

At this time, Kaifeng already knew the news of Sun Chuanting's defeat, and Chen Yongfu had not returned, so the city was filled with panic.

Thanks to Gao Mingheng and the King of Zhou's suppression, they urgently recruited more young men with heavy sums of money to guard the city wall. On the other side, he sent several official messages to Hou Xun on the other side to ask for help.

It rained heavily and dark clouds rolled over the city. Li Chuang gave up his obedience and trudged hard in the rain with only 40,000 available troops. When it got dark, we had not yet reached Kaifeng, so we had to find a high ground to set up camp and rest.

Li Chuang's movements could not escape the eyes of Zhang Shi's subordinates who stayed awake all night. Before dark, Zhu Bingkun and others stationed in Yuzhou already knew the whereabouts of the intruder.

At this time, Lin Gen also arrived in Yuzhou.

"My lords, I met my lord at Luyang Pass. My lord learned that the bandits who invaded Wuyang have gone south. I order you to tell your lords: Li Chuang will not dare to go to Nanyang, and will definitely turn around and attack Kaifeng to obtain supplies. I order your lords to step by step Force them, and be careful to prevent Li Chuang from bursting the embankment and flooding Kaifeng! My lord will definitely go north within a day or two."

Zhu Bingkun and others received the order and did not dare to neglect it at the moment.

Combined with the messages that were not collected at night, Zhu Bingkun and several other generals quickly decided on a strategy - dividing the troops into two groups, with Zheng Wu and Zheng Jiu as one group, heading north to Xingyang, then turning east toward Zhengzhou and approaching Kaifeng. Zhu Bingkun and the two troops belonging to Ying Yi's army approached Zhuxian Town and approached Kaifeng from the south.

At the same time, Qian Yue was transferred from Zheng Wu's command and asked to select young men from among the captives. He was temporarily stationed in Yuzhou, suppressed thousands of prisoners and guarded the captured ones. When Sun Xiucai sent the escort, Qian Yue led troops to follow up. .

Zhang Shi's troops were ordered to rush into Kaifeng at night to investigate and prevent Li Chuang from breaking the dike and releasing water in advance.

Give me the order and leave first without taking the night. Then the four troops and horses took action, without any further delay, and set off in the night rain at dark.
