Zhao Zi looked at Pugu Huaien and was amazed. After a while, he asked, "Is it mostly King Khan of Beiting?"

Pugu Huai'en raised his head and said, "No, it's just the lonely one! It's just a matter of bad luck when you fall into your hands. If you want to kill, just take action!"

Zhao Zi clapped his hands: "You are the number one person in Gaochang Country, how can you kill me? When I report to the commander of the festival and take you to the capital, that is our right way! It is so difficult for us soldiers to catch a king!"

After saying that, Zhao Zi said to the personal soldiers beside him: "Be careful and have good food and drink, don't make any trouble!"

The personal soldiers turned to Nuo and took Pugu Huaien out with their soldiers and found a good place to lock them up.

Zhao Zi rubbed his hands happily and said, "I should have sent it to Jishuai tomorrow, but I just wanted the other party to offer the city, so I'd better forget it. The battle was really good. I just fired a few shots and caught the other party's king. Is it still going to push it to the front of the city tomorrow? "

After saying that, he ordered his personal soldiers to come and drink it alone, which was very happy.

On the second day, Zhao Zi ordered to take Pugu Huaien and Long Luodusha to the front of the city and whispered loudly: "Your king is here with me, so why don't you open the city and surrender quickly! If you don't allow it, tens of thousands of cannons will blow up your bird city gate in a while!"

The soldiers on the city saw that they did not dare to be negligent, so they rushed to the city lord's mansion to report to Pu Guchen. Pu Guchen heard the news and had to smile bitterly: "Ten thousand troops besiege the city, and the king still wanted to escape from the city, but he hit the other person's hands. At this time, he had to surrender."

When I arrived at the city, I saw Zhao Zi riding on the horse. Pugu Huai'en and Long Luodusha were next to me, both of which were real people. I whispered loudly: "General Zhao outside the city, you have already captured the king, I don't know what you intend?"

Zhao Zi said: "What else can you do? Open the door immediately and offer the city, and you will have your own contribution! If you defend yourself, I will order you to launch thousands of cannons at a time to see if your city gate can stop it! I will kill tens of thousands of soldiers and horses here, and there will be no good results at that time!"

In fact, Gaochang is a big city, and there is a horse face outside. Even if the city gate is blasted open, there will be a bloody battle when entering the city. When artillery bombards the city, it is best to blast open the city wall and directly bypass the city gate's defense measures. Zhao Zi captured the Lord of Gaochang, and was in a hurry and said to scare the servant Guchen.

Pu Guchen said, "Since the general has captured the king, what is our defense? Let's wait a moment, I will open the city gate and offer it to the city."

Zhao Zi was overjoyed when he heard this and said to the servant Gu Huaien on the side: "Did you hear it? I caught you and I will definitely give you a city!"

Pu Gu Huai'en closed his eyes and refused to listen to Zhao Zi's long-term words. When he and Long Luo Dusha came out of the city wall, they knew that only Pu Guchen was left in the city, and they would definitely not fight to the death. Pu Guchen was the lord of Gaochang City, and Pu Gu Huai'en didn't care.

After about half an hour, Pu Guchen led his men to open the city gate and left the city. He bowed to Zhao Zi: "General, Gaochang has opened the city gate. I hope the general will remember that God has the virtue of living. After entering the city, don't let people kill and plunder, treat the people well."

Zhao Zi said: "What are you saying? We are the soldiers of the imperial court. This is the king's army coming from the west. How could he treat the people harshly!"

After saying that, he said to Qin Youpeng behind him: "General Qin, take your subordinates into the city! Van Gaochang soldiers took their weapons and detained them properly first. When the general of Jie came, they would deal with it! Remember, if the army enters the city, they should not take the property of the officials, people and the people in the city, otherwise they would be punished heavily!"

Qin Youpeng sang his promise with his hands, and went to bring his troops to the city first.

In Liuzhong City, Du Zhongxiao took the official document sent by Zhao Zi and said to Fu Bi: "This King of Beiting brought the general of command and a hundred soldiers last night. He came down from the city and wanted to escape the siege and go back to Beiting. Zhao Zi's 30,000 troops besieged the city, but did not surround the city. How could there be no team to guard the capture? As a result, not long after leaving the city, he was captured by the guards. Today, Zhao Zi took the King of Beiting to open the gate of Gaochang. Gaochang City has been captured. After cleaning up, we will go to Gaochang City tomorrow."

Fu Bi said: "King of Beiting has the courage to think about breaking through after being besieged in the city. Now that he has taken him, what does Jishuai want?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "If you want to let the court take care of this kind of headache, you should let the court take care of it. The King of Beiting and Gaochang's commanding generals who were obtained will be sent to the capital in two days, which is considered as a prisoner. After we arrive in Gaochang, we will think about how to deal with Yanqi."

Fu Bi said: "If you take King Khan of Beiting, if Yanqi is asked to surrender in the city, I wonder if they will agree."

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "This matter is not easy to deal with. Gaochang's troops are mainly in Yanqi. If King Khan surrenders, it would be fine to go to the book to let them surrender. Otherwise, they would hold a large army and do not fight for one battle, how could they surrender?"

Fu Bi said: "There are more than 20,000 troops and horses, but they can't defend Yanqi. Besides, without Gaochang's supply of food and grass, how can Yanqi support those more than 20,000 people? It's a winter, and they will definitely surrender if there is no food in the spring of the next year."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Don't forget the deputy envoy, there are black sweats in the south. So we must arrive in Gaochang as soon as possible. If the aftermath is handled well, the people of Yanqi will definitely receive news before surrendering. As long as Yanqi is sent to Yanqi, there will be no more army in Gaochang, and it can be easily pacified."

Fu Bi nodded: "According to the Privy Council's intention, as long as Gaochang is occupied, the battle will be won. If the rest of the land is occupied, it can be said to be beyond the expectations of the court. However, the general of Jie has agreed to the Dangxiang prisoners of war who had built the roads before, and after they were built to Yizhou, they will be released. Otherwise, they can be allowed to continue to build the roads. Only when the railway is built can the Western Regions be truly settled."

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "Deputy envoy, Dangxiang prisoners of war have been building for more than two years and have seen everything. If they continue to work hard, something must happen. After Dangxiang prisoners of war were released, they chose some people with good skills. When the Xiang army who built the road came, they would be incorporated into the Xiang army."

For more than two years, all prisoners of war were raised before, and if they were not nutritious, they would be willing to work hard by eating well? Such a big project should still be done by the Xiang army, which is equivalent to the burden of the country.

After more than two years of large-scale training, many imperial guards were unwilling to join the army again and were incorporated into various wing troops. The country's more than 300,000 wing troops expanded to more than 600,000 in two years, and most of them came from the imperial guards. The bribes with shortages recruited good families, and the army was no longer the same at this time.

Before Du Zhongxiao's victory at Hequ Road, there were more than 800,000 imperial guards across the country. After training, there are now about 700,000 people. In addition to Du Zhongxiao's 170,000 people on Hequ Road, there are nearly 200,000 on Hequ Road, about 100,000 on Hequ Road, about 150,000 on Hebei Road, about 100,000 on Hedong Road, and about 150,000 on Shaanxi Road, the rest are stationed in the two capitals.

Such a scale of the imperial guards is no longer heavy for the current court. With Du Zhongxiao's reform on Jingxi Road to the whole country, the court's fiscal revenue has doubled several times. However, most of them are physical objects for the court, and paper and copper coins are exchanged one by one, and the wealth on paper is not much increased. Especially for private businesses, due to the high tax cost, there is no complete fiscal and tax system.
