Chapter 111 Man Dies for Wealth

The cavalry had a great advantage against infantry in an open place. In addition, Nan Jiyun's cavalry was calculating but unintentional, and the rebel soldiers had some feeling of war weariness because they could not go to the city to search for treasures.

With these factors combined, after five thousand cavalry raided among the 10,000 infantrymen, the defeat of these ten thousand infantry was quite fast, almost a round-trip battle, which made these rebel soldiers who were not very morale dispersed.

Nan Jiyun took the lead and killed more than a dozen rebels before looking up and observing the current situation. When he saw that these ten thousand rebels were almost all fleeing privately, some smiles finally appeared on his face, because the task assigned to him by Li Qing was to defeat these people as quickly as possible, and as long as it was defeated, there was no need to kill them all, Li Qing wanted time.

Obviously, Nan Jiyun's completion is pretty good now. It didn't take long for this ten thousand people to collapse. After these ten thousand people collapsed, Li Guiren's advantage over Li Wen's military strength was obviously no longer there.

At the same time, Li Guiren, who was not very beautiful in the city, had already discovered the situation outside the city. When he saw this, Li Guiren was shocked at that time.

He knew that this empty city should have been Li N's plan. Li N's not in a hurry to join the other two armies to attack Youzhou, but instead designed such a trap here to wait for him.

This is not a good thing for him.

However, after learning the news, Li Guiren felt much more relaxed. After all, what he was most worried about before was that he could not find Li Lan, so that Li Lan could easily meet with Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi. But now, he had the chance to defeat Li Lan again.

"In order to make us take the bait, Li Yan actually hid the people in the city where they were. He sent an order to eliminate the Tang army first, and then come back to search for treasure!"

Originally, Li Guiren was somewhat confident about this battle, but who knew that after his order was issued, there was no movement in the city. The 20,000 people were still searching for property in the city, and almost half of them turned a deaf ear to Li Guiren's order.

At this time, Li Guiren finally realized that he seemed to be playing with by Li Yan.

He sent his confidants to the city to see that it was exactly the same as what he guessed in his heart. Many of them found some property in the people's homes. Although there were not many property found, they had the idea that they would definitely find more property here, so no one was willing to give up these and go to war at this time.

Even many soldiers thought that after finding a certain amount of property here, they would no longer have to follow the rebels to fight to the death. They could take advantage of the current chaos to go to Henan Road or some other place to get involved, and then live their second half of their lives as a Tang people.

If he could not command this, Tang Jun would not wait for him, because Li Ning had almost only one word for orders to everyone, that is, fast.

As long as the speed can keep up, Li Neng believes that his plan will definitely cause the 50,000 army led by Li Guiren to fall apart directly at a very small price.

Sure enough, when Li Guiren saw that he could not command them, he immediately asked the deputy generals to urge him. However, this process of urging made the city gate lose its guard. Nan Jiyun led the cavalry, and the infantry led by Lei Wanchun came into the city.

Li Guiren was so angry that his teeth were itchy at this time, but he issued the previous orders. Now he knew that this was Li Qing's plan, but it was obviously a little too late, so he could only have a street fight with Nan Jiyun and the others in this city.

Outside the city, Li Yi stood on a hillside and watched Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun enter the city with their troops, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

"Prince Prince, should Xu Yuan and I also lead our troops to reinforce?"

Behind Li Li was Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan, and there were still 10,000 people behind them and there was no place to move. In other words, Li Li used his 30,000 people from beginning to end.

"No, if there are too many people going, the rebels in the city will not be able to escape? You will guard the city gates with five thousand men. As long as the rebels who did not come out with weapons, they will catch them. The property in the city is all the things of the people. I have promised them that when they go back, there will be no shortage of things. If this is less, it will be a defeat for me!"

Although Zhang Xun thought that Li N's request was a little weird, he still followed Li N's words. He had already seen it with Li N's time. Li N's man cares very much about the people's will. As long as he stayed or passed by, as long as he had contact with the people, the people would definitely say he was good.

No one would say such a thing in plain terms, but in Zhang Xun's opinion, this is obviously a good thing. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, not just talk.

This strategy was completely figured out by Li Yan himself. The most difficult part was naturally to withdraw all the people in the city. However, as soon as Li Yan came out, the people agreed in a few hours. Moreover, several wealthy businessmen in the city also gave Li Yan some property to use as bait.

In this way, this method of using money as bait made the rebels lose their combat effectiveness at that time. As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. Li Qing used the performance of 50,000 rebels in front of money to deeply prove the value of the existence of these eight words.

In fact, when Li Guiren ordered his soldiers to go and see if there was any property in the people's homes, he had already lost.

Although Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun brought only 30,000 people into the city, except for those who followed Li Guiren, the rest of the people did not even have the courage to fight street battles with the Tang army.

Especially the rebel soldiers who had collected some of their property before, when they saw that the enemy had entered the city, their first reaction was not to meet the enemy, but to quickly find a pack of the property they had obtained, and started running outside the city.
