Chapter 174 Take down Hailing

The autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves!

Li Zitong's troops did have a numerical advantage, almost twice that of Qin Qiong's troops, but these troops were driven by Chu Tianxiu's "training" and ran for three or four hours, but they were already lacking physical strength and extremely exhausted.

Therefore, under the attack of Qin Qiong's army, they almost defeated them with one blow, and chased them like a duck, without much effort. So in this battle, they killed almost 3,000 enemies and captured 10,000 prisoners, but Qin Qiong lost only 21 soldiers. Although there were hundreds of injured people, most of them were minor injuries that were not worth mentioning, so they could be well raised.

This is a big victory!

Even though there were about three or four thousand people in Hailing County at this time, it was no longer enough evidence to win it, and it was not difficult to win it.

Not long after, Qin Qiong, who was responsible for pursuing and gathering the enemy troops, led a team of soldiers and walked towards them with an enemy general. When the two looked closely, they found that this was an acquaintance.

Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but laugh:

"So it's General Zuo! Just now, you've worked so hard to chase me, almost breaking my leg."

Zuo Xiaoyou was tied up with both hands behind his back, and he still looked unyielding and snorted coldly:

"You can kill the soldier but not humiliate him. If you want to kill or cut him, you can do it at your disposal, but you can't insult me."

Halfway through his words, a hint of indignation appeared on his face and he said loudly:

"This time you are just bullying others with your own force, which is not a skill! If you and I fight with a dignified military formation, I might not be defeated here today!"

After hearing this, Qin Qiong couldn't help but show anger on his face, and pushed him with a cold voice:

"Hmph, at this time, I'm not honest! The lord, he played with tens of thousands of people in the applause with just one person's strength. What's wrong with you?"

After seeing this, Chu Tianxiu quickly stopped him and said:

"Shubao, stop! Don't be unreasonable to General Zuo!"

After a complicated look appeared on Zuo Xiaoyou's face, he smiled bitterly:

"Forget it, most of the soldiers who came with me this time were brothers who had followed me Zuo Xiaoyou for many years. Even if I were thinking about them, I would not dare to reject Mr. Chu's kindness. Alas, it's time and fate!"

Zuo Xiaoyou was originally from Qi County, Shandong Province. He raised an army to rebel against Sui about four years ago and was considered a prince. However, he was not lucky and met Zhang Xutuo, a famous general who was the nemesis of the rebel army. He was defeated by him and had to lead the remaining troops to flee south and eventually surrender to Li Zitong.

Li Baiyao never expected that Chu Tianxiu would attach so much importance to him. He only gave him an important task when he first surrendered. He couldn't help but feel a little moved, which made his inner sadness diluted a lot, refreshed a little, and obeyed happily.

"It's better to do this. From today on, I will restore Hailing County to Hailing County, and use Mr. as the county magistrate to help me take charge of this county!"

Then, he turned to Zuo Xiaowen and said:

"General Zuo, I see all your skills. You are a general of military strategy. If Li Zitong had not fallen into my hands and made you afraid of weapons, otherwise just a wave of arrows would have caused me to suffer. But good birds choose trees to live on, and now Li Zitong is dead, so the general should submit to me! If I can accomplish anything in the future, I will definitely be able to be a general and a lord."

When talking about this, Chu Tianxiu still felt that it was not enough and said:

Therefore, although Hailing County is just a county, the city walls of the county are as high as ten feet high, and the number of residents in the city is more than 7,000, which is almost no less than a small county like Zhongli County and Xuancheng County.

After reading the book quickly, Chu Tianxiu read the book, and after learning about it, he said decisively:

"I always know that your general is a great sage of the current dynasty. He was only dragged down by the deposed crown prince and was not valued in the Sui court. It is my honor for me, Chu. Therefore, the government affairs of Hailing County are still under the responsibility of Mr. "

If not, Li Zitong could not have been able to take the lead with Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army by relying on the territory of a county, and jointly resisted Yang Guang of Jiangdu and repelled the attacks of the Sui army many times.

During the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties, the capital of Hailing County was moved to Hailing County

After the fall of the Southern Liang Dynasty, the Northern Qi, Chen and Northern Zhou dynasties all followed the old system. Hailing County was the county government of Hailing County. Until the third year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty, Hailing County was abolished and was under the jurisdiction of Jiangdu.

Although Li Zitong's power was not great, except for controlling the complete Hailing County, he only took down dozens of villages and towns around Linjiang and Rugao and other counties. The territory was pitiful and he could not even occupy Hailing. After he had blocked traffic, Ninghai County, which was alone, was unable to take down.

Soon, Zuo Xiaoyou, who was responsible for opening the road, asked to open the city gate of Hailing County, incorporate the existing defenders in Hailing County, and seize the city lord's mansion, so that the city's city wall would be completely owned by Chu Tianxiu.

After Zuo Xiaoyou surrendered, the captives would naturally be dealt with by him. After he gathered and rectified the surrendered army and brought them out some form, he joined forces and killed Hailing County.

After Zuo Xiaoyou repeatedly used a wooden collision, a hole was exposed in the city lord's mansion, which had become a dangerous house. After Li Baiyao learned that Li Zitong was dead, he sighed first, and then asked Chu Tianxiu for Li Zitong's bones. After burying him, he took out a thick pile of books and handed them over to Chu Tianxiu.

Therefore, although he is Li Zitong's number one general, he is not his direct general. He is actually loyal to Li Zitong, so Chu Tianxiu can only win over and get along well.

...

"General Chu, Hailing County's household registration book and geography book are the foundation of Hailing County, but I have to ask the general to collect it!"

But under his command, there are quite a few talents. In addition to Li Baiyao and Zuo Xiaowen, the core literary and military personnel, Qin Chaowen and Bai Xin under his command are all well-versed in ability, which slightly alleviated Chu Tianxiu's lack of talent.

Hailing County has a good foundation, but because of the several battles Li Zitong had fought with the Sui army and the fact that he used most of his people's power to support his troops, the people's livelihood was indeed abandoned and very declining. Therefore, after Chu Tianxiu took over Hailing, everything was not going well.

After he issued several warrants, he quickly drew five thousand stones of grain, 300,000 taels of silver, and various kinds of daily necessities from Piling County, and handed them over to Li Baiyao to fill the treasury.

After Li Baiyao got this resource, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He knew that he had met a rich lord. He quickly used these materials to recruit refugees around Hailing County, appease the people, repair the city walls, and level the roads, so that the people here gradually returned to their hearts and wiped away the mark of existence that originally belonged to Li Zitong bit by bit.
