The most arrogant in history

Chapter 126 The little girl is very naive.

Yuejuan also nodded: "Sister Yourong is right. As long as our family is together, I would rather live a poor life than let Kunlang suffer so much and fight blood all day long."

The two little girls are both very naive.

If Ye Kun relied on farming, hunting and spinning, he really couldn't support these people.

"I promise that there will be a day of peace and prosperity."

Ye Kun nodded and took Jiang Yourong and Liu Yuejuan's hands: "But it's not possible now. I must expand my territory and increase my strength so that others will not dare to invade us. Otherwise, today is Changsha Lubiao, tomorrow is Jingzhou Wei Dingshan, and the day after tomorrow is Dongba County Liu Dongliang."

Liu Yuejuan thought for a moment and said, "Wei Dingshan is my mother's uncle. We have been exchanging letters and gifts for many years. Kunlang, you can write a letter and contact him."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "I've thought about this a long time ago. I planned to let Hou Qi deliver the letter. But your uncle Hou Qi's broken leg hasn't recovered yet, so he can't walk. Let's discuss this matter after I return from Changsha."

Liu Yuejuan nodded.

Jiang Yourong knew that Ye Kun was busy with military affairs and did not dare to disturb him any longer. She gave him a few instructions and then said goodbye with Liu Yuejuan.

Ye Kun immediately reorganized his military equipment and planned to set off in the afternoon.

The defense of the city was handed over to Jiang Laowu.

There are also Qin Chou and Jiang Youbao, who work together with Jiang Laowu.

After lunch, Qin Erwu, as the vanguard, led 800 cavalrymen and more than 1,000 infantrymen and attacked Shuangya Mountain directly.

Ye Kun then took the remaining troops, escorted the baggage and a small amount of food, and chased after Qin Erwu.

After a quick march of seventy miles, they arrived at Shuangya Mountain in the middle of the night and rested there.

Wang Bao and Guan Yong had been waiting at Shuangya Mountain for a long time. They beat up Kong Dun's defeated soldiers, beheaded 300 of them and captured 200.

Except for those who were killed in battle or captured, most of Kong Dun's troops fled.

After the battle of Shuangya Mountain, Kong Dun was left with only a dozen men. They broke through to Tianmen County and joined Lu Biao.

Moreover, Kong Dun himself was shot in the buttocks, and it was still unknown whether he could survive.

Ye Kun nodded and summoned the squad leaders among the prisoners to inquire about the situation.

According to the prisoners, the remaining troops in Changsha were less than 10,000, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and had low combat effectiveness.

These low-ranking officers all expressed their opinions:

"Master Ye, we are willing to follow you. Biao Lu is very cruel. He would kill all the defeated soldiers. So, if you let us go, we will die anyway. We might as well follow you and give it a try."

"Well, I will lead you to Changsha City and rob Lu Biao of his gold and silver treasures!"

Ye Kun nodded and made another arrangement.

The next morning, the large army continued to march towards Changsha.

Shuangya Mountain is only a little over a hundred miles away from Changsha.

That night, Ye Kun's large force took a rest twenty miles west of Changsha City and ordered the plainclothes vanguard blasting team to go ahead.

He led a thousand light cavalrymen, extinguished their torches, and followed quietly.

Two blasting teams, led by Qin Erwu himself, arrived at the outskirts of Changsha at midnight.

Outside the West Gate and the North Gate, plainclothes officers dressed in black sneaked into the moat and quietly placed two copper cans of gunpowder against the axles of the city gates.

This is a specially made large copper can filled with granulated black powder, with a loading capacity of 100 kilograms.

The power of granulated black powder will increase by two or three times.

Sandbags were placed outside the copper jar to prevent the explosive force from hitting the city gate.

The defense awareness of Changsha City was very lax. The defenders on the top of the city were sleeping and had no idea what was happening below the city!

Moreover, the suspension bridge under the city was not confiscated at night, allowing the plainclothes blasting team to drive straight in and reach the city gate.

The blasting team arranged the fuse, covered the ignited incendiary bomb with oilcloth, and retreated immediately.

Qin Erwu was outside the city and a rocket was fired.

boom--!

With a loud bang, smoke rose from the bottom of the city, the gate axis was blown off, and half of the gate collapsed directly.

The 300 Changsha surrendered soldiers that Ye Kun had collected led the charge into the city, holding their swords and spears high and shouting, "A hundred thousand troops from Jingzhou are coming, surrender and you won't be killed!"

The Jingzhou army is a huge threat to the Changsha army.

Therefore, Ye Kun took advantage of the power of the Jingzhou soldiers and intimidated the Changsha defenders.

The Changsha defenders were all sleeping. They were awakened by a loud noise. They were still dazed and had no idea what was going on.

The defenders on the city wall were so frightened when they saw the large army entering the city that they wet their pants and surrendered immediately.

Ye Kun left behind two hundred men and quickly took control of the west gate and the defending generals. The remaining troops, led by the surrendered soldiers from Changsha, divided into several groups and attacked the other three gates.

Qin Erwu led the main force to seize the military warehouse and control the military camp.

Ye Kun personally led two hundred people and rushed towards the Changsha County Magistrate's Mansion. The vanguard climbed over the wall and then opened the gate to meet the main force and arrested all eighty-seven members of Lu Biao's family!

The operation took place in the middle of the night and went very smoothly.

The Changsha defenders were unaware of the specific situation and really thought that a 100,000-strong army from Jingzhou was coming. They offered almost no resistance and surrendered one after another.

Jin Daorong, the garrison commander of Changsha and General Lu Biao's brother-in-law, was afraid of death and expressed his willingness to surrender.

Ye Kun ordered his personal soldiers to take Jin Daorong to persuade the troops in the city to surrender without bloodshed.

At daybreak, Ye Kun's rear troops arrived one after another, numbering nearly five thousand men, and took firm control of Changsha city.

Ye Kun was also exhausted.

The soldiers were in the same mood, very tired but very excited.

Ye Kun ordered martial law in the city, no one was allowed to go out, the four gates were sealed, all the surrendered soldiers were disarmed, put under centralized guard, and then counted the property in the warehouse.

The surrendered soldiers were disarmed. Without armor or weapons in their hands, they dared not fight back. They all sat in line in the parade ground obediently.

Changsha has seven counties under its jurisdiction and can support an army of 50,000. It is richer than Tianmen County, with sufficient treasury and mountains of money and grain.

The county magistrate Lu Biao was greedy and amassed countless wealth, with piles of gold and silver in his mansion.

Ye Kun also knew that these corrupt officials liked to hide gold, so he called Lu Biao's wife Jin and children over, killed two servants, and threatened them to tell him the truth about the hidden treasure.

Jin was so frightened that her face turned pale and she honestly confessed all her property.

Ye Kun was very satisfied and sent people to search out all the gold, silver and treasures of Lu Biao, count them, register them and seal them up.

He was busy until before lunch, when Ye Kun took his personal soldiers to visit several big local gentry and some famous Confucian scholars in the city.

The local gentry and scholars were all terrified and did not know what Ye Kun meant, so they offered him gold, silver and other valuables.

Ye Kun waved his hand and said with a smile:

"My fellow countrymen, I am here only for revenge. Lu Biao robbed my Cigu County and Lingshan County, attacked Pingye County, and killed many of my brothers. Moreover, he sent troops to invade during the period of mourning in Tianmen County, which is really unforgivable. I am only looking for Lu Biao, and it has nothing to do with you. I promise not to harm you in the slightest."

The local gentry all breathed a sigh of relief, clasped their fists in thanks, and praised Ye Kun for his kindness and righteousness.

Ye Kun added: "The city is in chaos right now. I hope everyone will continue to stay at home and not go out unless necessary to avoid accidental injuries. If you have any difficulties, please tell me."

The gentry had food and drink, so it was fine for them to stay at home. They clasped their fists and said, "We will follow Lord Ye's orders."

Ye Kun comforted her again before going to eat and rest.

When it was dark, torches were burning brightly outside the west gate and shouts of killing were deafening.

The guards came to report: "Lord Ye, Lu Biao was defeated by Shangguan Jifu and led more than 3,000 defeated soldiers back to Changsha. He is cursing outside the west gate."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Come here, take all 87 members of Jin Daorong and Lu Biao's family to the top of the city wall!"

The city has fallen into Ye Kun's hands, and it is impossible for Lu Biao to break in.

Moreover, Ye Kun still has hostages in his hands.

Lu Biao's entire family was taken to the top of the city wall, and their cries and shouts shook the sky.

Ye Kun raised the telescope and looked over. Lu Biao's troops were in tattered clothes and incomplete armor. It was obvious that they had been badly beaten by Shangguan Jifu.

Qin Erwu was belligerent and whispered, "Brother, the enemy's soldiers are weak and can't stand a single blow. I can lead a thousand soldiers to defeat them!"

Ye Kun agreed with Qin Erwu's suggestion: "Go and prepare. When you rush out of the city gate, I will fire a wave of heavy arrows to harvest the enemy!"

Qin Erwu limped down with Tan Bamao.

Ye Kun pointed at Lu Biao and cursed:

"Lu Biao, you are old and a famous scholar in Changsha. Why did you rob my Cigu County and Lingshan County? Why did you raise troops to invade Shangguan Jifu when his father was about to die? Those who do evil will eventually perish. The current situation is also your own fault. Your whole family is on the top of the city. If you have the guts, shoot an arrow and try!"
