Chapter 82 Surrender without a fight
Chenzhou belongs to Kaifeng Mansion, and Luyi belongs to Guide Mansion. Although the two cities are not within the same mansion, they are actually adjacent to each other, and they can be reached within a day's walking.

On October [-]th, there was light snow in the sky, and the weather was already a bit cold. On the city of Chenzhou, several Xiangyongs in bloated padded jackets surrounded the fire and guarded the city wall.

In the 15 years of Chongzhen, which place consumes the fastest talents is undoubtedly Zhongzhou Henan.

Within a year, first the governor Li Xianfeng hanged himself, then Gao Mingheng succeeded the governor less than half a year later, and returned home due to illness caused by the fall of Kaifeng, the officials of the Third Division of Henan were always vacant.

In addition, Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, was dismissed because of the unfavorable aid to Bian, the governor Ding Qirui was imprisoned, and the governor Hou Xun, who was aided and suppressed, took office and was also dismissed because of the fall of Kaifeng.

These high-ranking officials such as governors and governors lost at least five members in Henan in just 15 years in Chongzhen, and the losses of other officials were even more serious.

At this time, the counties and towns in Henan were dilapidated, and the imperial court was no longer able to manage Henan, so there were no more officials. Chenzhou and other places were in a state of no owner. one's own safety.

This situation is very similar to the situation where the Yellow Turban Army in the late Han Dynasty rebelled and local tyrants took advantage of the situation.

At this time, it was very cold, and several Xiangyongs were warming themselves by the fire and scolding their mothers. The leader, who was the leader, poked the flint with a wooden stick, glanced out of the city unconsciously, and was suddenly stunned.

A few miles away, on the white snow, a large figure suddenly appeared, like a carpet, slowly moving forward.

The leader stood up suddenly, looked out of the city, and looked carefully, his face panicked for a moment, and he turned around and shouted: "It's over, there are enemies!"

The village warriors warming up by the fire stood up slowly and rushed to the edge of the city wall. They saw thousands of people in the distance, looking at Chenzhou.

With so many people, what the boss said just now has already determined Chen Zhou's character, that is to say, he is about to die. Many Xiangyong immediately panicked, "Boss, there are at least 2000 people here! What should we do?"

The boss made a long face, and he didn't have a strategy to deal with it. He just turned around and shouted: "Quick, go and tell Mr. Dai."

In the wide field outside the east city of Chenzhou, two thousand soldiers wearing cotton armor and black scarves appeared outside the city wall, and slowly stopped in the cold wind.

Gao Yihuan was dressed in iron armor, with a sword on his waist, a helmet with phoenix wings on his head, and a pheasant feather on his head. He rode majestically on a yellow horse.

The weather was gloomy and the wind was blowing. Behind him, a strong man was carrying a two-foot-high flag. The flag was black, with a big "高" character embroidered in the middle.

Under the banner, more than a dozen brigades rode on mules, each with their own weapons, crowding behind Gao Yihuan.

Behind the general flag, more than 2000 soldiers lined up in the cold wind. The soldiers holding rattan cards stood forward in a row to form a shield wall. The team's cart, the whole team was silent, looking murderous.

On Chenzhou City, the tyrant Dai Jinghong came to the city in a hurry, seeing the people and horses outside the city wearing armor, he couldn't help shrinking his neck.

Second Brother Gao is about to enter the battlefield. Whether he can fight a tough battle is hard to say, but in terms of appearance, he already looks a bit elite.

At this time, Wu Shizhao mobilized his mule and came to Gao Yihuan. He looked up at the lonely Chen Zhoucheng, and then asked, "Captain, should we fight or recruit?"

Gao Yihuan squinted at Chenzhou, but there were not a few enemy soldiers on the city wall, only a flag fluttering in front of the city tower, looking weak.

"The officers and soldiers did not garrison in Chenzhou. The city is now occupied by local tyrant Dai Jinghong. He doesn't have many troops. We don't need to fight. If we can surrender, we will surrender. If we can't, we can fight sooner rather than later." Gao Yihuan stared at Chenzhou fiercely. There is a trace of excitement in his heart, after all, this is the first time he has eaten a county town alone.

Wu Shizhao nodded. Chenzhou is adjacent to Luyi, and many people from Chenzhou have gone to Luyi. They can be said to be very clear about the situation in Chenzhou.If Dai Jinghong is sensible, he should make a wise decision.

"Shizhao, let the people in the city take a look. If you don't surrender, you will die. Xian Gang and Huang San, you follow me to watch the city." Gao Yihuan continued, pulling the reins, Leading more than a dozen people to leave the army, they galloped to the foot of Chenzhou City, carefully inspected the city wall, and prepared to step forward to surrender.

Wu Shizhao saw Gao Yihuan coming out of the battle, so he turned his head and said: "All ministries are always prepared. If the turtles and grandsons in the city don't know each other, whoever is the first to kill the top of the city will be rewarded heavily by the captain."

Gao Yihuan reined his horse under the city, saw that although Chenzhou is a famous historical city, the city is not high, and the moat has dried up, it is very ordinary, so he said with a smile: "Huang San, you can shoot accurately, post a letter into the city, call Those bunch of birds surrendered, and I will keep their whole city safe."

Huang San was wearing cotton armor and a leather cap, and the mule was hanging a bow and a pot of arrows. He clasped his fists when he heard the order, then took an arrow, tied it with a letter, and urged the mule to come forward.

Not long after, the mule arrived in front of the city gate. Huang San immediately bent his bow and set an arrow, shouted loudly, and shot an arrow directly at the flagpole at the top of the city. .

If Huang San was riding a war horse, then it could really be said to be majestic, but the mule under his crotch has lost its status and lost its style.

Mules are generally used to pull carts, and they are also used to carry steps, but riding a charge is tantamount to courting death.

However, when Dai Jinghong stood on the top of the city, seeing the people and horses under the city, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, wondering where these elite soldiers came from, and one of the people under the city shot an arrow at the top of the city, hitting the flagpole, which immediately made his heart sink.

The current situation in Henan can be said to be a fight between gods and gods, which affected the fish in the pond, and the battle between the official army and the Chuang army, which made the hundreds of township warriors in Chenzhou City tremble and panic, for fear that they would fight over.

Now more than 2000 horsemen suddenly came from the city, lined up and prepared to attack, and the crowd was even more horrified, as if they were facing an abyss.

"Head of the family, please read!" A leader took off the shaft of the arrow and presented the letter.

Dai Jinghong hastily opened the letter to read, his face suddenly became cloudy and uncertain.

Under the city, after Huang San shot an arrow, he rode back on a mule, and Second Brother Gao took the lead to applaud him.

Seeing this, Jin Xiangang and others were also very enthusiastic, and they all bet that if Dai Jinghong did not surrender, they would be able to take Chenzhou City in half a day at most.

Seeing Huang San rushing back, Second Brother Gao prepared to turn his horse's head around and lead the crowd back to the formation, waiting for an answer from the city, but just as he was about to turn his horse's head around, a loud shout came from the city, "Outside the city is Luyi Gaodu. Captain?"

Hearing the sound, Gao Yihuan wanted to turn the horse's head around, but ended up urging the horse to move forward, and the soldiers who were holding the flag behind him followed suit, and they advanced a few steps together. What is there to say in the city?"

There was a burst of noisy discussion from the top of the city, and after a while, a person poked his head out and replied loudly: "Since we are the Captain Gao of Luyi, we are willing to surrender~"
