At this time, Yu Yi was caught off guard and beheaded the opponent's general, and at the same time entered the city gate with his troops and horses. The guards in Maocheng retreated like a mountain, and soon the three soldiers regrouped in the middle of the street.
Yu Yi had been to Maocheng many times and knew the terrain here well. He judged that Wu Lanmu would definitely flee towards the Taihang Mountains, so he assigned some soldiers to Lei Chunze and headed towards the Taihang Mountains trail.
The sky was gradually getting brighter. Lei Chunze and his soldiers arrived at the Taihang Mountain trail early. Sure enough, he saw Wu Lanmu riding a horse and passing by with dozens of cavalry. He shouted and quickly surrounded them.
After Lei Chunze obtained the spider stick, his martial arts skills improved a lot. With the elite soldiers around him, he quickly captured Wu Lanmu alive and tied him up with a rope.
Yu Yi led everyone to the government office in Maocheng. There was no government office in Maocheng before. It was built by Cao Cao after he defeated Yuan Shao. The government office was not big, but compared with the surrounding B&Bs, it was much more luxurious. .
After entering the government office, there was no one inside. The soldiers searched everywhere and found some property and food, as well as many civilian women.
Yu Yi came to the middle of the government office, his eyes filled with tears.
Diao Chan also followed in at this time and found that all five of Ding Zhiming's fingers had been chopped off, and a sword was inserted into his heart. Ding Zhiming's face did not show any pain, but a smile of relief.
Yu Yi walked over and untied Ding Zhiming's body, laid it down gently, then helped him close his eyes with his hands, and ordered the sergeant to find the best place in Maocheng for a proper burial. Looking at the shivering civilian girls in the audience, Yu Yi Huang Shumin and Diao Chan were ordered to appease them, and then the treasures in the government office were distributed and they were allowed to go home.
Not long after the assignment, Lei Chunze came in with Wu Lanmu. At this time, Wu Lanmu's hands were tied tightly with ropes, and his mouth was blocked by a white cloth. He made a whining sound, as if he had something to say.
Yu Yi ordered the white cloth to be taken away, only to see Wu Lanmu suddenly kneeling on the ground, crying: "Ming Gong, I know I was wrong. For the sake of our previous relationship, please give me a way to survive!"
After hearing this, Yu Yi sneered and asked, "Why did you treat Ding Zhiming like that? When you treated him, did you ever think that your relationship was still a grain depot?"
Wu Lanmu was speechless, and Yu Yi continued: "When I asked to enter Maocheng, why didn't you think about our previous relationship? Now it's too late."
Wu Lanmu burst into tears. He didn't know whether it was regret or some other emotion. Yu Yi said to Lei Chunze: "Drag this unfaithful and unfilial thing out and behead him, and hang his head on the city gate to show the public."
After Lei Chunze went out, Huang Shumin and Diao Chan came back. Yu Yi was impressed by the efficiency of the other party and said to Huang Shumin: "Go and inform Wu Chenggong and the others to enter the city as soon as possible. We need to start discussing countermeasures."
After Huang Shumin returned to the camp outside the city, she assisted Wu Chenggong in escorting the people of Daoxiang Village. On the way, Huang Shumin told Wu Chenggong what had happened, and Wu Chenggong was in awe.
Le Jin sent troops from Julu and waited for news about Zhang Yan along the way. He walked slowly and finally arrived near Daoxiang Village. He carefully examined the situation in Daoxiang Village and found that the place had been burned into darkness, which was in sharp contrast to the previous bustling scene. He sighed: "I don't know what Yu Yi is thinking mentally?"
Suddenly, someone came to report: "General Zhang Yan said he was unwell and asked the general to attack first!"
Le Jin was very angry and said: "This general from Hebei doesn't know his identity, isn't he afraid that the Prime Minister will punish him?" After saying this, he immediately sent someone to urge him.
Zhang Yan also felt uncomfortable after receiving Yu Yi's letter. Seeing Le's slow march, she became even more impatient and simply did not move forward.
In Maocheng, Yuyi sent Ye Huatong to inquire about the population and production situation of Maocheng at the government office, formulated a shelter plan based on the existing number of people, and then personally went to the streets of Maocheng to assist the people in moving.
It was very hard for everyone to run all the way, but when they saw Yu Yi personally coming to help everyone move, they all gained strength and became very enthusiastic. Soon the people of Daoxiang Village found a place to live.
Yu Yi asked the soldiers to build a temporary platform, stood on it, and said: "Daoxiang Village was burned down. It was my fault. From now on, Maocheng will be our second hometown!" After saying this, the audience burst into applause.
Then Yu Yi said: "Currently the Cao thieves occupy the entire Central Plains and are eyeing the south of the Yangtze River. They have already sent troops to Wancheng and are preparing to march into Jingzhou. The cause of the Han Dynasty is in jeopardy. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Uncle Liu Huang is also running around to save this era. As a sworn brother, I naturally cannot fall behind. In order to establish a foundation, we decided to go deep into Yunnan. Our troops are troops of benevolence and righteousness, representing the interests of the common people. Our goal is to prosper the Han Dynasty and bring peace to the world. No more poverty!" After saying this, there was another round of applause.
Yu Yi looked at the people, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment. This feeling of leading an area was very good.
After entering the Maocheng government office, Yu Yi convened a meeting with core staff to discuss how to deal with Le Jin and Zhang Yan.
Yu Yi said: "I wrote a letter to Zhang Yan. Now Le Jin and Zhang Yan are waiting to see the situation, but this is temporary. Someone will see through this plan soon. With our ability, it will be difficult to deal with the upcoming situation." The encirclement and suppression took place.”
Sikong Xuan said: "We should leave Maocheng as soon as possible and continue marching to the southwest."
Yu Yi asked Huang Shumin: "How many people surrendered in Maocheng this time?"
He replied: "More than three hundred people."
Yu Yi nodded and said: "We need to continue to strengthen our team on the road. As the number of soldiers expands, there will definitely be some miscellaneous soldiers. In future battles, the elite troops must be regarded as our property. Don't use them easily. Use more miscellaneous soldiers. Fight.”
Then Yuyi said to Wu Chenggong: "I think the number of troops is increasing now, and Huang Shumin can't cope with it. You can also help me in the future. Your focus is to give ideological lessons to the soldiers, from the ideological point of view Convert them.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into a state of confusion. After all, it was the first time for them to do ideological work for the soldiers during a march.
Yu Yi smiled and explained: "Do you know Buddhism and Taoism?"
Everyone shook their heads, and Yu Yi asked again: "Do you know about Buddhism? I saw there is a White Horse Temple in Luoyang!"
Everyone still shook their heads. Yu Yi felt that this explanation was a bit vague, so he simply said: "Actually, in the final analysis, it is to let the soldiers recognize that what we do is to make people live a happy life, and what we do is big, and it is to break this A time of war and chaos."
Wu Chenggong nodded as if he understood, and Huang Shumin came out and said: "Master, please don't embarrass him. I suggest you give us a lesson first."
Yu Yi also believes that this matter is a long-term process, just like when Zhang Jiao established the Taiping Sect, only the power of faith can unite many people and create huge power.
The topic returned to how to deal with Le Jin and Zhang Yan's tens of thousands of troops. Yu Yi said: "This place in Maocheng will definitely not be our place, but if someone comes, we can't let him go back happily. We must Let him suffer a little."
