The most arrogant in history

Chapter 151 Is this the beauty trap?

Wu Xuan was still stubborn: "You are talking nonsense. My Dongba City is impregnable and has tens of thousands of defenders. How could it be captured?"

Ye Kun smiled: "Shangguan Jifu used his military skills like a god, defeated the barbarian army, seized Tianmen, and robbed Changsha. I'm sure you've heard about it. How does the garrison of Dongba County compare to Changsha?"

Wu Xuan pondered in silence.

Huangfu Lin took the opportunity to say:

"General Wu, General Ye loves your talent, so he has been waiting for you until now. Otherwise, with one order, Tieya Mountain will be razed to the ground! I heard that Liu Dongliang has two daughters, who are as beautiful as fairies, and General Wu has always wanted them but couldn't get them. If General Wu surrenders, both of Liu Dongliang's daughters will be yours!"

Ye Kun couldn't help but smile. Is this the beauty trap?

Wu Xuan still didn't speak.

Ye Kun waved back: "Come here, fire two thunder bombs, please give me some advice, General Wu!"

The catapult was immediately prepared and sent two thunder bombs to the top of the hill.

Boom, boom!

Smoke rose and gravel flew everywhere.

The war horses on the mountain neighed and the soldiers screamed.

The soldiers of Dongba County had never seen this new weapon.

Wu Xuan finally admitted his mistake and shouted:

"Master Ye, I am willing to surrender. I only ask you to treat my brothers well and give them a chance to live!"

Ye Kun shouted, "Don't worry, as long as you surrender, you will still be the general. Your soldiers are all my brothers in arms, and I will never treat anyone unfairly!"

"Okay, I will lead my brothers down the mountain and surrender immediately."

Wu Xuan waved his hand and dropped his gun.

Ye Kun stepped back.

Not long after, Wu Xuan, unarmed, led the remaining troops slowly down the mountain and surrendered.

Ye Kun stepped forward and held Wu Xuan's hand:

"General Wu, Liu Dongliang is a ruthless man. The people of Badong are living in misery and starving people are everywhere. I am raising a righteous army only to save the people from danger. I have no selfish motives. I hope that the general can be of one mind with me, serve the court, and build achievements together."

Wu Xuan bowed his head and said, "I am a defeated general. Thank you, Lord Ye, for sparing my life."

"General Wu, you don't have to be polite. As time goes by, you will know what kind of person I, Ye Kun, am. "

Ye Kun nodded and asked the military doctor to treat Wu Xuan's injured brothers in the army. The other soldiers were still under Wu Xuan's command.

This is called don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ.

After this battle, the wounded soldiers under Wu Xuan were separated, and there were only 1,500 soldiers left, so there was no need to worry about him rebelling.

Huangfu Lin said, "Lord Ye, we should go straight to Dongba City to prevent any trouble. I'm afraid General Wu is also thinking about the two young ladies in Liu Dongliang's family. We should take Dongba City as soon as possible so that General Wu can have his wedding night with the beautiful ladies."

Wu Xuan blushed and said:

"Master Ye, my whole family is in Dongba City. If Liu Dongliang knew that I had joined you, he would probably kill my whole family. What do you think..."

"You change into a new set of armor and blend into my cavalry unit. Liu Dongliang won't know."

Ye Kun nodded and ordered the wounded to stay and receive treatment on the spot, and the others set off immediately.

Before dark, we arrived outside the east gate of Dongba City.

Shangguan Jifu came over to meet him and cursed:

"This Liu Dongliang actually dared to resist. We fought for a whole day but still failed to take down the city. Brother Dalang, how many thunder bombs did you bring? Bomb this bastard to death!"

Shangguan Jifu was angry because he failed to capture Dongba City in one day and lost two hundred brothers.

"We do have thunder bombs, but I'm afraid they will cause a lot of casualties."

Ye Kun asked about the situation and called Wu Xuan over to discuss it.

As a general of Dongba County, Wu Xuan naturally knew the defensive situation and weaknesses of Dongba City.

Wu Xuan whispered, "Since ancient times, a besieged city must have a gap. If you block all four gates, Liu Dongliang will not be able to escape, so of course we have to fight to the death. Why not open the west gate and let him break through, and then lead the light cavalry to pursue him, and we can decide the outcome in one battle."

Ye Kun was a little surprised. This Wu Xuan was well versed in military tactics.

A besieged city must have a gap, which means leaving a door to give people a way out.

In this way, whether the defenders escape or the attackers come in, there won't be any serious casualties, and it's a win-win for everyone.

"How could I not know that a besieged city must have gaps?"

Shangguan Jifu rolled his eyes and said, "I'm afraid that if Liu Dongliang succeeds in breaking out, Lord Ye will complain about me, so I'm going to block him first."

Ye Kun said: "First, ambush a group of people outside the west gate to kill Liu Dongliang. Then send light cavalry to chase him, isn't that enough?"

Shangguan Jifu nodded in agreement and sent Huangfu Lin to ambush.

Half an hour later, it was dark.

Ye Kun and Shangguan Jifu launched a fierce attack from the three city gates in the east, south and north, using catapults to send incendiary bombs into the city.

Liu Dongliang did not dare to fight again and led 500 cavalrymen to break out of the west gate.

Qin Erwu led the light cavalry in hot pursuit.

Huangfu Lin intercepted again in front.

Ye Kun and Shangguan Jifu led their troops into the city, quickly took control of the treasury and barracks, blocked the four gates, and imposed martial law throughout the city.

In the middle of the night, Qin Erwu and Huangfu Lin chased to the Jialing River and finally captured Liu Dongliang's family and all his followers alive, returning victoriously.

In a total of five days, Ye Kun took over all the territories in Dongba County.

When Qin Erwu escorted Liu Dongliang into the city, Ye Kun and Shangguan Jifu were drinking in Liu Dongliang's county magistrate's mansion.

Liu Dongliang's face turned pale and he knelt down to beg for mercy:

"Master Shangguan, Master Ye, I am willing to hand over Dongba County to you and beg you to spare the lives of my entire family."

"Whether you like it or not, Dongba County is in my hands."

Ye Kun smiled and helped Liu Dongliang up:

"Don't be afraid, Lord Liu. I don't like killing people. Too many people have died in your Dongba County, and a lot of farmland is uncultivated. I'll let you farm the land, okay?"

Liu Dongliang trembled: "If I can survive, I would like to be a farmer."

"Don't worry, I will never kill you." Ye Kun nodded: "But you have to submit a petition to the court to give Dongba County to us. This is also a matter of procedure."

Those who occupy the mountains and act as kings are ultimately robbers.

If Liu Dongliang himself petitions to hand over Dongba County to Ye Kun, then Ye Kun's occupation of this place will be legitimate.

Although it is self-deception, it can also cover up a little shame.

Shangguan Jifu said with a smile: "Master Liu, please submit a petition to the court to let Master Ye Kun be the governor of Dongba County."

Liu Dongliang nodded: "I will obey your orders."

Ye Kun looked at Liu Dongliang's two daughters again.

One is fifteen, the other sixteen, and they both are indeed stunningly beautiful.

Liu Dongliang tried to please Ye Kun: "Master Ye, my daughter is not married yet. If Master Ye doesn't mind..."

"No, I don't have that blessing." Ye Kun smiled, called Wu Xuan, and said to Liu Dongliang:

"General Wu admires Lord Liu's two daughters, so I will be their matchmaker. In the future, General Wu will become Lord Liu's son-in-law, and we will still be a family."

Wu Xuan was still hesitant, and clasped his fists towards Liu Dongliang: "Master Liu, I am incompetent and cannot resist the army of Master Ye and Master Shangguan, so I have no choice but to surrender... As for the two ladies..."

Liu Dongliang sighed: "As long as my family can be saved, I will obey your orders."

Ye Kun nodded: "Come here, take Lord Liu to rest, and send him to the Xipingshan camp in Pingye County tomorrow. Take good care of him and don't neglect him!"

Send him to Xiping Mountain and put him under house arrest.

There's no point in killing more people.

Liu Dongliang was grateful and was taken away.

Shangguan Jifu was somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Kun's handling of the matter. He rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Dalang, aren't you being too soft-hearted by not killing Liu Dongliang? If you keep Liu Dongliang, aren't you afraid of raising a tiger to cause trouble?"
