Chapter 832 "Bull Demon King, Take My Stick!" [Seeking Monthly Votes]
Taishi Ci led the army and captured the entire Xiandu City in less than an hour.
The wealthy people in the city originally wanted to resist and vowed to advance and retreat together with Gongsun Du, but when they saw that the imperial army was brightly armored, even the horses were covered in light armor, they immediately began to help the imperial army eliminate the rebellion in the city.
This style of adapting to the wind fully demonstrates the nobles' characteristic of not fighting against the wind.
However, Taishi Ci didn't care about this. After taking the city, he led the main force and prepared to attack Liaotui County according to the map drawn by Song Xian, capture this narrow city between the two Liao Rivers, and control the Liao River dock.
After the large army left, the nobles in the city were just about to shake off their majesty when Gongsun Zan's men arrived.
Compared with Taishi Ci, who was unknown at this time, Gongsun Zan's reputation was much greater. The nobles in the city not only asked about his welfare, but even called for all the people named Gongsun, hoping to establish a relationship with Gongsun Zan to avoid being retaliated against.
Gongsun Zan was already familiar with the process. He first ordered all the nobles to go home and not let anyone on the street. Then some petty officials brought from western Liaoning began to act in twos and threes.
First, he visited the people and counted the evildoers in the city. Then he began to ask everyone whether their lives were difficult. If so, what were the reasons.
When you first arrive in a place, directly implementing the court's policies can easily cause a backlash from the people, but this kind of visits and heart-to-heart conversations can achieve unexpected results.
For example, through visits, everyone obtained information on the same day that Xiandu City was managed by a nephew of Gongsun Du. The guard who Taishi Ci jumped up and killed with a single shot was Gongsun Du's nephew.
This guy did all kinds of evil in Xiandu City, bullying men and dominating women, and he did all kinds of evil.
When Gongsun Zan led people to ransack the house, there were still five or six kidnapped girls in the backyard. The oldest was only fourteen years old. They were all "trophies" of Gongsun Du's great nephew.
When Cheng Yu came over and heard about this, he waved his hand and asked someone to sew the head of the guard of Xiandu City back onto the corpse. He then carried it directly to the scene of the public trial and asked the little girls to take the lead in smashing the corpse. It provides a channel for people to vent their anger.
While they were trying to win over the people in Xiandu City, Huang Zhong rushed directly to the lower reaches of the Liao River and began to raid Fang County to prevent Gongsun Du from escaping by boat across the sea.
For the current imperial army, winning the battle is no longer the pursuit. The goal of the commanders is to annihilate all prisoners and not let go of any soldier or general.
Especially for a prefect like Gongsun Du, we couldn't let him escape. He had to be captured and escorted to Chang'an to face trial by the court.
While they were fighting here, Ma Chao and Song Xian also led a fleet to Dashi County, landed under the banner of Gongsun Kang, and charged into the city.
Dashi County is located a little south of Dalian Jinzhou District in the real world, at the throat of the Liaodong mainland and the peninsula.
By capturing Dashi County, not only can we directly sweep across the Liaodong Plain to the north, but we can also cross the Korean Gulf and directly attack Korea City, the seat of Lelang County.
In Xiandu City, Cheng Yu began to divide his troops:
"General Taishi captured Liaotui County, attacked north along the narrow strip between the two rivers, entered Xuantu County, captured Liaoyang, Wangping, Houcheng, Gaoguli and other county towns, and took the entire county into his hands. , take a short rest and then continue to attack the Fuyu area northward, trying to push the front to the Changchun area in the real world before the heavy snow closes the mountains. "
"General Gongsun crossed the Liao River and went straight to Xiangping, the seat of Liaodong County. After sweeping through all the counties in Liaodong, he attacked Goguryeo all the way east. He wanted to get to the domestic city before winter, try to capture the King of Goguryeo alive, and escort him to Chang'an as a prisoner."
"General Han Sheng joined Meng Qi and attacked Lelang County directly. It will be enough if we can smooth out the foreign races on the peninsula this year. I don't know if Mahan has established a country at this time. Don't worry about so much. All the prisoners will be used to build roads. They will be exhausted." They deserve it.”
Gongsun Zan held a lollipop in his mouth, looked at the map and asked:
"Mr. Zhongde, the area north of Liaodong is a bitter cold land. Sometimes in August and September, there will be heavy snow and the mountains will be closed. If the army rushes in, will it be impossible to get out?"
Cheng Yu said:
"You can ask the gods to help postpone the heavy snowfall in the Northeast. As long as you can win the battle and expand the territory for China, they will be happy even if the gods rain hot springs to give the army a hot bath."
Gongsun Zan took a sip of the strawberry-flavored lollipop and asked in a low voice:
"Would it be too disrespectful to the gods if you say that?"
Cheng Yu laughed:
"Bogui, it seems that you haven't figured it out yet. Opening up new territories is a great merit. It's too late for the gods to be happy. How can I blame you for being disrespectful? On the contrary, you pray to gods and Buddhas all day long and respect every god. , but the country is losing ground inch by inch. No matter how respectful you are, the gods can't help but jump."
Gongsun Zan looked at the land of the Han Dynasty, then looked at the map of Northeast China in the real world, and casually circled Sakhalin and other places:
"In three years, I will take over all these places. Can Mr. Zhongde ask the gods to help turn these bitter and cold places into a land of good weather and good weather?"
"Absolutely no problem. Just fight on your territory. Once the gods get in the way, His Highness the Son of God will not let them go."
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zan was immediately full of confidence. He wished he could rush to the inner city right now, tie up the King of Goguryeo with a rope, and send him to Chang'an to be held in the palm of the Manchu ministers.
The war in Liaodong was raging. Gongsun Du, who was in Liaotui County, didn't know it yet. He was sending people to collect ships and planned to send people across the sea to Donglai County to see what was going on.
The son led thousands of troops and never came back. Is it because the land grab was so successful that there was no time to send people back to report?
If this is the case, then the empty ships should be sent back and more soldiers go to Dongnae to plunder the city and population... Young people are still not experienced enough. If they can capture Dongnae County, they will not care about the details. , but it is still necessary to give a few symbolic criticisms to prevent Kang'er's tail from rising to the sky.
Gongsun Du didn't know yet that his great son Gongsun Kang, who he imagined was conquering the city, was slowly corrupting underground in Donglai County, nourishing the land of Qingzhou with his flesh and blood.
In the real world, the old mother was lying on the Simmons bed in the room, looking at the volcanic mud mask held by Zhou Ruotong and asked:
"Is this really good for your skin?"
Li Yu, who was sitting on the sofa not far away and eating sugar oranges, said:
"What's good? It's all IQ tax. The ingredients of this stuff can be tested casually, but none of them are good for the skin... Besides, you are a saint, why are you pursuing these things?"
The old mother ignored him, lay down on the bed, and signaled Zhou Ruotong to start applying:
"Let's start Tongtong, you have already eaten the elixir and ginseng fruit. This time when you go back, I will find a few more flat peaches for you to try, and try to make your life span exceed one yuan."
When Li Yu heard this, he immediately came over shamelessly:
"Mom, what about me? I haven't tasted flat peach yet."
The old mother snorted:
"Why are you trying that stuff? It's all IQ tax. The ingredients can be tested casually. None of them are good for life."
Li Yu: "..."
This mother is quite vindictive. It seems that I have to bring Houtu Godmother here early so that mothers can form a healthy competition. If this happens again, I will find another mother to complain to.
If you’re a mama’s boy, you have to take advantage of having more mothers.
Mu Guiying walked in with a tray of snacks and saw her old mother applying a facial mask. She quickly took off her cotton slippers and lay on the bed side by side, taking the opportunity to do some beauty treatments.
Li Yu pinched a piece of corn crispy rice and tasted it, and took the initiative to repair the rift with his old mother:
"I think this dark stuff is quite effective. Why don't you apply it on my face later?"
The empress suddenly couldn’t hold herself any longer:
"Go on, what are you guys doing dressed up in such fancy ways? You're so girly, you just want to be beaten up just by looking at it."
After Zhou Ruotong applied the facial mask to the empress, he began to apply it on Mu Guiying’s face:
"Liu Xie just came over and said that there is a war in Liaodong. Before winter, the three counties of Liaodong can be taken back. The territory of the Han Dynasty is about to expand, and then it depends on governance."
It is not enough to just win the territory, you must manage it, otherwise the acquired territory will be lost again sooner or later.
The empress said:
"Let all the officials swear that when I go back, I will let Caiyun girl take notes for them one by one."
As long as the oaths are recorded and some officials who are corrupt, bend the law, and live in fish and meat towns are punished through natural punishment, the entire officialdom of the Han Dynasty will be much clearer.
And by adhering to it from generation to generation and forming a good atmosphere, violations of laws and disciplines will become less and less until they are completely eliminated.
At this time, it was completely dark outside. Li Yu ate half a catty of sugar oranges, cleaned up the orange peels, and asked Zhou Ruotong and the pair of black-faced masters and apprentices lying on the bed:
"Do you want a late-night snack? If you want anything to eat, just tell me and I'll prepare it in advance."
Mu Guiying quickly raised her hand:
"I'm not full with the casserole rice noodles. Can I order a fried bun? The one with more burnt shells."
The queen asked:
"Aren't fried buns what you eat in the morning?"
Mu Guiying said:
"Most people eat it in the morning, but as a general leading troops, I was caught off guard by the fried dumplings. Master, if you don't want to eat them, you can ask your husband to cook you a pack of instant noodles later. Or make a bowl of lotus root starch, this is simpler and less troublesome.”
The empress ignored her, turned to Zhou Ruotong and said:
"Tongtong, sit down and have a rest. When you're done, try my son's fried buns. If they don't taste good, I'll throw them all to Guiying."
Li Yu left the room and went to the second floor. Jia Xu had gone up the mountain to rest. Li Shimin and Liu Xie were sitting in front of the TV playing a two-player game.
"Is everything okay over there?"
Li Shimin pinched a piece of amber walnut from the table and put it into his mouth:
"The matter has been dealt with, so I asked my brother to relax his brain... By the way, sir, will Mr. Jiang come to the real world tomorrow? I heard Mr. Pharmacist mention this matter in a vague way today. I don't know whether it is true or not."
Li Yu said:
"It's true. Let's discuss the ambush in Heaven tomorrow. However, these are at the level of gods and have nothing to do with you. You don't need to pay too much attention to them."
Liu Xie asked for advice:
"Sir, Cao Cao ordered all his men to surrender to the imperial court. His men seem to be complaining. Does the imperial court need to intervene in this matter?"

Before Li Yu could speak, Li Shimin said:
"Don't worry about it. Cao Ah Man will take care of it. If you need to kill him, just kill him. It just so happens that he also wants to show his loyalty to the court. It's a good thing that there are people who object."
Li Yu didn't react, and wanted to ask his apprentice what kind of good thing this was.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xie asked first:
"Brother Shimin, what do you mean by this?"
Li Shimin chuckled:
"If Cao Cao brings a group of loyal men to join the court, the officials will not be able to sleep, because he can lead his team to revolt at any time, plus he has to run the Western Regions. It is very uncomfortable for such a group of people to gather together. Don't worry... Now that there are people who object, Cao Cao and his direct lineage will no longer form an iron block, and Cao Cao doesn't have to worry about being suspected by the court. This is indeed a good thing. "
Li Yu said:
"When the time comes, the generals sent to the Western Regions should not have anything to do with Cao Cao's direct lineage, and try to send other factions. Of course, you can also ask Cao Cao to go to the Wa Palace and read the original memory, so that he will know what to do. ”
Li Shimin has many clever ideas:
"After reading the memory, let him read the description of the Emperor of Wei being stabbed to death by the Sima family in the street, and then the far-reaching influence the Sima family brought to China... After reading them all, Cao Ah Man will have a feeling that he falsely claims The illusion that the emperor will eventually suffer retribution will make him more loyal and patriotic.”
It's actually a bit risky to do this. If Cao Cao's ambition is aroused, the old boy might do something wrong again.
Fortunately, his oath has been recorded. As long as he dares to mess around, Jie Yun shouldn't mind sending him to work in the underworld growing mushrooms.
While chatting, Zhuge Liang walked in wrapped in a military coat:
"The temperature difference between the two sides is nearly 40 degrees. It doesn't feel good."
It is midsummer in the Three Kingdoms world, but in the real world it is the coldest time of the year. The outdoor temperature at night is below zero, and the Qianqiu Lake in the scenic spot is even covered with a thin layer of ice.
Liu Xie asked:
"Kong Ming, have you captured the entire Yanzhou?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and took a big sip of boiled water on the table:
"We captured it right away. We just got the news that General Xu Rong captured Zang Ba and killed his entire Yi clan in accordance with the laws of the Han Dynasty. This yellow scarf thief who was rampant in Langya County of Mount Tai received the punishment he deserved."
Liu Xie applauded:
"Well done. When the news reaches Chang'an, I will make Xu Rong General Andong and temporary governor of Qingzhou."
Zhuge Liang asked:
"What does temporary possession mean? Will Qingzhou's territory be re-divided?"
Liu Xie nodded:
"Not only Qingzhou, but also Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and other places need to be re-divided... In addition to historical evolution, the most important reference for the division of Han territory is population. Where there is a large population, the counties are next to each other. The county seat, a state, is not as big as the surrounding counties, and the territory of sparsely populated areas can span half of the country. The population is not enough to cover the territory, which affects the transmission of government orders and is not scientific enough. "
At a young age, Zhuge Liang had already traveled from Langya to Shouchun, Yangzhou, then to Jingzhou, to Chang'an, and now to the hinterland of Yanzhou. He felt that the division of the Han territory was indeed not scientific enough:
"When did this start?"
Liu Xie said:
"Next year, next year we will win all the territories. We will divide the territory of the Han Dynasty according to the map of the real world to make it easier to govern. Then we will start to focus on infrastructure and people's livelihood."
The few friends were chatting enthusiastically, but Li Shimin didn't even bother to play games anymore, and was talking happily about his views on the division of territories. Li Yu couldn't interrupt, so he simply went to the kitchen to prepare the fried dumplings ordered by the Queen.
The shrimps Yunxiao brought in the morning were not finished yet, so they were just in time to be used as fillings to enhance the flavor of the fried buns.
First mix the noodles, then prepare the fillings, shrimps and minced pork belly, then some scallions and minced vermicelli to prevent soup from coming out. Wrap it up like this and it will be delicious.
In addition to the fried steamed buns, Li Yu also plans to cook some hot and sour soup, which will go well with the fried steamed buns.
While he was preparing delicious food here, in Chaoge City in the Fengshen World, Yunxiao gave Lei Zhenzi the toys he bought and a few new sets of clothes for his two younger sisters. The city defense formation was opened, separating the entire Chaoge from the Bagua position.
This peeling method is like radar invisibility. You can find the location of Chaoge City by walking down to earth, and you can even walk in swaggeringly. However, if you fly over or teleport over, it will be ineffective, or it will randomly appear in the snowy mountains. At the top, it will either appear on the Antarctic continent or on the bottom of the sea. In short, it will be completely different from Chao Ge.
This is the result of Li Yu's uncle and the ancestor of China, Emperor Fuxi, who studied radar technology and used the Eight Diagrams directions based on the characteristics of gods. It can be used for experiments in Chaoge.
When our people come to Chaoge City, they will land in front of an inconspicuous City God's Temple at the city gate. This is the only place within a hundred miles of Chaoge that can be marked with divine power.
The more Master Yuding looked at it, the more miraculous he felt, and he raised his hands and asked:
"Sister Yunxiao, if the gods come on foot, what should we do?"
Yunxiao smiled softly:
"No need to do anything, Wu Wenhua will teach them some lessons."
The gods in the Conferred Gods are better at using magic weapons and don't care about physical skills and physical strength. Without using divine power, Da Luo is no match for Wu Wenhua.
By the time of the journey to the west, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was obviously depleted, and magic weapons were no longer readily available. The gods not only began to pay attention to physical cultivation, but also began to practice magical powers.
Under the same conditions, the more magical powers you have, the greater your chances of winning.
As soon as Chaoge's city defense formation was opened, Chaoge City could no longer be seen from Heaven. Haotian didn't know what happened after a long calculation.
Kunpeng said:
"It should be some kind of formation. You can send someone to Huoyun Cave to capture Fuxi and question him."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Fire Cloud Cave also hid and could not be found.
Haotian waved his hand:
"Don't worry about these, first plan to kill Sister Nuwa, and it won't be too late to discuss other things after she is killed."
While they were preparing to ambush the saint, there was another scene on the sea of blood. Wukong was just about to rest when he sat cross-legged and the Bull Demon King, who was thinking about eating human flesh, quietly flew out of the sea of blood, intending to abduct some people into the sea of blood, keep them in captivity and eat them slowly, and give them to his son.
However, as soon as he showed up, he felt that his whole body was becoming more and more sluggish, and even turning his face became extremely difficult.
"Oh no, we're ambushed!"
As he was about to go back, Wukong swung the golden hoop and came close:
"Bull Demon King, take my stick!"
