Age of Empires: Beginning Reincarnation as Prince of Qin

Chapter 216
In order to maintain military discipline and law, Li You ordered the beheading of these soldiers who violated military discipline without hesitation.

Although Xiang Zhuang wanted to protect his weaknesses, Xiang Zhuang dared to confront Li You head-on, but he did not dare to confront Xiang Yu.In the end, Xiang Yu made the decision, and all those who violated military discipline lost their lives.

The most unlucky one among them was Xiang Zhuang, not to mention that he was not rescued, and he also suffered a lot of boards as a result.

"Li You, you are so ruthless!"

"Brothers are desperately attacking the city, so what if the military discipline is indulged?"

"Li You, like this, how can you make the brothers work hard?" Xiang Zhuang shouted at Li You.

Li You strode up to Xiang Zhuang, and said in a deep voice: "You are thinking of a bandit now, what we want to do is not a bandit, and Xiang Yu is not going to be the leader of a bandit!"

"Looking at history, the one who won the world was the one who broke military discipline?"

Li You's words were sonorous and powerful, which made Xiang Yu somewhat convinced.Xiang Yu thought to himself, what the military adviser said is right, my goal is not to be a bandit leader, I am an overlord, and I want to ascend the throne and be called the king and Taoist ancestor.

Xiang Zhuang felt aggrieved in his heart, his face was red and he wanted to argue, but Xiang Yu came to Xiang Zhuang and sternly shouted: "The military advisor is right, we are not bandits, if you can't figure it out, go back to your hometown and farm the land!" "

Xiang Zhuang dared to compete with Li You, but he didn't dare to compete with Xiang Yu. After being reprimanded by Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang dared not say anything more!

"Pull it down, hit!"

"Give him a good memory boost!" Xiang Yu said coldly.

After ordering Xiang Zhuang to be dragged out, Xiang Yu came up to the soldiers and said loudly: "Brothers, in the future, what the military adviser says will be what Xiang Yu said."

"Anyone who doesn't obey the military commander's order is not listening to my Xiang Yu's order. If someone dares to violate the military order, it is like this sword!"

After Xiang Yu finished speaking, he pulled out a long sword from the waist of the guard beside him with a "crack", then held the hilt with one hand and the tip of the sword with the other, and suddenly exerted force, only to hear a crisp "dang" sound , the sword broke in two.

The reason why Xiang Yu was able to convince the crowd was because he was brave enough. Seeing Xiang Yu's sharp sword breaking, everyone couldn't help being stunned for a while.

"We, obey the order of the Overlord!"

"We, follow the orders of the military division!"

The surrounding soldiers waved their weapons one by one, shouting at the top of their lungs.

Xiang Yu's soldiers and horses are much stronger than ordinary peasant rebels, no matter in terms of combat effectiveness or military discipline.

You know, when Xiang Yu was training this army, Li You had been emphasizing military discipline and military law.

After entering the city, after Xiang Yu's order was issued, almost all the soldiers obeyed military discipline, did not harass the people, let alone burned, killed and looted.

Those few who were beheaded for violating military discipline were purely relying on their relationship with Xiang Yu and did not take military discipline seriously.

In fact, when Xiang Yu organized the three thousand people from his hometown into his own army, Li You felt that something was wrong.

However, these relatives of Xiang Yu are still very powerful in fighting.Now that the army has just been established, there is a shortage of people who dare to fight and kill, so Li You did not object at that time.

Sure enough, now the disadvantages are highlighted. These people are responsible for being related to Xiang Yu, so it is very difficult to manage.

Moreover, when Xiang Yu manages these people, he almost always uses his relatives to manage them. Once someone makes a mistake, it is very likely that this kind of protection from relatives will appear.

Talk about both sides.

Xiang Yu's side is rectifying military discipline in the city, and the government office in the city has already exploded.In the government office, the mess has become a mess.

"Broken, broken!"

"That Xiang Yu from Mangdang Mountain has actually established himself as the overlord, and has already rushed into the city. I'm afraid he will kill him in the government office soon!"

"Let's, what should we do, what should we do!" Xian Cheng paced back and forth, anxious like ants on a hot pot.

"My people have already gone to check. Now the four gates of Xiapi City have been blocked by thieves. Unless we can gain wings, there is absolutely no possibility of escaping Xiapi City."

"We have become the turtles in the Wengzhong first, what should we do now!" The county captain was also sweating profusely, and had no way out.

Now they can't get out of the city, once the bandit army enters the government office, they will really be the city's soft-shelled turtles, and there will be nowhere to escape!
How meticulous is Li You's work? Although they attacked from the south gate, Li You realized that two hundred ambush soldiers were deployed on each of the east, west and south gates. A lot of flags were hung, which means that the gates of the city are full of bandits.

The [-] troops in Xiang Yu's hands were only enough to attack one city gate, so Li You arranged this suspicious strategy.

In the hands of the county lieutenant of Xiapi County, there are actually more than 2000 soldiers and horses. Moreover, his two thousand soldiers and horses belong to his cronies, and their combat effectiveness is quite good.

At this time, as long as the county lieutenant of Xiapi County has the courage to lead an army to attack a random city wall in the east, south, and west, he will find that the city wall is like paper, just poke it like this Just break it, and they can rush out.

However, this county lieutenant is a coward. He would rather sit in the government office and wait to die than try to kill outside the city.

In Xiapi City, it is not the county magistrate who is in charge, but the county magistrate and the county lieutenant. These two people, one in charge of government affairs and the other in charge of military affairs, emptied the county magistrate of Xiapi.

The county magistrate and magistrate are both local gentry in Xiapi City, while the county magistrate came by airborne, so these two people emptied their rights.

"Brother Chen, we can't leave unless we have to. If we leave, what should we do?"

"If you want me to say, it's better to follow the thief!" The county magistrate gritted his teeth and said.

In the eyes of the gentry, the interests of their own family are greater than the interests of the country. When Xiang Yu was killed, the county magistrate thought of surrender without hesitation.

The county lieutenant rubbed his chin and pondered: "Surrender is a big deal, but can this feather accept us!"

After Xiang Yu captured Xiapi City, it was inevitable to kill the chickens to warn the monkeys and establish his prestige.They wanted to surrender, but they didn't know if Xiang Yu could agree!
If they surrendered, but Xiang Yu killed Liwei, who would they go to for an argument?

Thinking of this, although the county lieutenant wanted to surrender, he was afraid that Xiang Yu would kill Liwei, so he hesitated for a while.

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant in Xiapi County have worked together for many years, and the county magistrate is very clear about the county lieutenant's thoughts.

"Brother Chen, are you afraid that Xiang Yu will make an example to others?" The county magistrate asked the magistrate.

The county lieutenant didn't pretend, but said truthfully: "I really have such worries!"

"Hey, brother Chen is worrying too much!"

"You are the county lieutenant, and I am the county magistrate. The two of us are at least officials, not officials. The thief leader Xiang Yu has to kill the county magistrate even if he wants to make an example of others. The two of us are not chickens, but chicken eggs at most!" The county magistrate said with a smile.

Hearing the words of the county magistrate, the county lieutenant thought together that this is indeed the truth. If you want to kill the county magistrate, you have to kill the county magistrate first. What does it have to do with the two of them.

"Since this is the case, instead of waiting for Xiang Yu to kill him, it is better to take the initiative to tie up the county magistrate and go to meet Xiang Yu!"

"In this way, it seems that you and I are sincere!" The county lieutenant stood up and said.

Seeing the appearance of the county lieutenant, the county magistrate couldn't help but secretly smiled.The reason why he said so much was waiting for this moment.

As soon as he heard that Xiang Yu's army broke the city, the county magistrate had the idea of ​​tying up the county magistrate and going to join Xiang Yu, but the county magistrate had no soldiers in his hands, so he came to the county magistrate.

As expected, within a few words, he urged the county lieutenant to mention that he tied up the county magistrate and surrendered to the county magistrate.

Although the county lieutenant was not good, he still had two thousand soldiers and horses in his hands. He ordered his soldiers and horses to surround the mansion, and then ordered two hundred soldiers and horses to rush into the mansion.

The county magistrate of Xiapi City, because he came by airborne, is a bare-bones commander, and there are no other people in front of him except the few servants he brought with him when he took office.

Although he wanted no one in his hands and no soldiers, the county magistrate was a responsible person. Instead of escaping, he was planning how to defend Xiapi City.

Since the city is full of people from the county magistrate and magistrate, the county magistrate still doesn't know the real situation in Xiapi City.The magistrate of Xiapi County didn't even know that the city was broken.

The county magistrate was thinking about how to stop the thief, when he saw the county magistrate and the county magistrate rushing in, he hurriedly greeted them.

"You two, I heard the shouts outside, and I think the bandit army is powerful. From the county's point of view, how about recruiting some strong men from the common people to help defend the city?"

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate and the county magistrate smiled, and they looked at each other, thinking, this idea is good, this idea is not good.

The county lieutenant smiled and said in a deep voice: "Lord county magistrate, your idea is probably useless. The bandit army has already broken through the city, and a full [-] troops have entered the city. I'm afraid they will kill here in a short time. The county government is here!"

Hearing this, the county magistrate couldn't help but change his face, and murmured involuntarily: "The bandit army has already broken through the city, with an army of [-], what should we do!"

"I, Zhang Ran, bear the emperor's order to serve as Xiapi county magistrate, how can I lose the city and land, how can I lose the city and land!"

"Lord County Magistrate, I have a way to save the people in this city, but I have to borrow something from the county magistrate!" The county lieutenant said to the county magistrate maliciously.

"Oh, I wonder what Lieutenant Chen wants to borrow?" County magistrate Zhang Ran asked.

"Ha ha!"

"What are you borrowing, of course it's the head of the county magistrate!" The county captain laughed loudly.

"what?"

"Wait, you two are going to surrender to the thief!" Zhang Ran said in disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, he cursed: "Wait, it's really shameless for you to turn to a thief for the reward of eating the king!"

"I, Zhang Ran, don't want to kill you and then hurry up. Today, I can only die in the city with my own body!"

After the county magistrate Zhang Ran finished speaking, he drew out the long sword at his waist and was about to kill himself.

Needless to say, although the county magistrate is a scholar, he still has a bit of loyalty to the emperor and the country.

However, the two thieves, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, finally found a way to survive, how could they let him die so easily.

I saw that the county lieutenant pulled out the long knife at his waist, and knocked the long sword in the county magistrate's hand away.

The county lieutenant is also a martial artist in bad times, and he knows some superficial martial arts in the army.The county magistrate Zhang Ran is just a scholar, who is his opponent.

After knocking out the long sword in the county magistrate's hand, the county lieutenant scolded, "Come here, tie him up!"

The city was noisy all night, and at dawn, Xiang Yu's army had completely occupied the entire city of Xiapi.

The four city gates, granaries, weapon depots, military camps, government treasuries, etc., all important places have been sent to guard.

Since Xiang Yu didn't have many available people, Li You led people to do the work of counting granaries and warehouses.

Xiapi City, Fuya.

"The guilty minister Chen Biao, the guilty minister Sun Xian, pay homage to the Overlord!" The county magistrate and the county lieutenant immediately knelt down on the ground when they saw Xiang Yu.

As for Xiang Yu, he likes to hear good things, and he also likes to hear compliments from others.After hearing these words, Xiang Yu couldn't help but feel a lot more comfortable.

"You two are willing to take refuge!" Xiang Yu asked the two of them.

"Yes, of course I will!"

"The two of us have heard about the reputation of the Overlord for a long time, so we have long thought of taking refuge in him."

"This person is Zhang Ran, the county magistrate of Xiapi, and he is the certificate for the two of us!" The two said, ordering their subordinates to drag Zhang Ran over.

The current appearance of the county magistrate Zhang Ran is simply horrible. After being arrested, his mouth was too stinky, and he cursed at the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, so he was beaten up by the county magistrate's men.

At this time, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, his body was tied tightly with hemp rope, and a rag was stuffed in his mouth.If he was not wearing the official uniform of the county magistrate, no one would recognize him as the magistrate of Xiapi.

After Xiang Yu saw Zhang Ran, the county magistrate, he waved his hand and said, "Take the thing out of his mouth, and let me ask a few questions."

Zhang Ran had already reported his intention to die in the city in the name of being loyal and loyal. After seeing Xiang Yu, he said in his heart that he has finally met the righteous master today, so you can just see if I scold you or not.

Right after the cloth strip in Zhang Ran's mouth was removed, Zhang Ran stared at Xiang Yu sideways. Before Xiang Yu could ask, Zhang Ran asked Xiang Yu first!
"You are Xiang Yu?"

Xiang Yu saw that this man was quite courageous, and he was not afraid of me when he saw me?
"That's right, I'm Xiang Yu!" Xiang Yu nodded in response.

"You call yourself the overlord?" Zhang Ran continued to ask Xiang Yu.

Speaking of this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but feel a little proud, Xiang Yu thought to himself, this is probably another person who has heard of my name.I never thought that my name as Overlord would be so resounding.

In fact, how loud it is, no one has heard it at all.The county magistrate and the county lieutenant were flatterers. They used to only know about the bandit Xiang Yu, but they didn't know about the overlord Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu was a little proud, raised his eyebrows and said: "But I think the name of this king is very prestigious!"

"Hahaha!"

"Overlord, this name is very prestigious, but I don't think it is suitable for you Xiang Yu. You Xiang Yu is not like Overlord, but like a bastard!" Zhang Ran yelled at Xiang Yu.
