Li Chengzhong looked back and saw that the man captured by Zhong Silang was thin and had a slightly immature face. He seemed to be just a teenager and not very old. Then he saw that the general named Liang looked slightly nervous, and he smiled and said: "
What is the use of this kind of coward who only knows how to get under the bed? Cut him off!"
Upon hearing this, the young man's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground. He was so frightened that he couldn't even knock his head down, and he suddenly burst into tears.
The general surnamed Liang was anxious: "Wait a minute! Don't do anything!" He murmured for a while, and finally lowered his head and said, "I will follow your wishes. Go out and let them surrender."
Li Chengzhong asked Wang Dalang to escort the general out to persuade him to surrender. The general looked back at the captured young man with a concerned look on his face. Li Chengzhong said: "Don't worry, just don't kill him." The general nodded.
He walked out and said angrily to Wang Dalang who was standing aside: "You still can't believe something?"
Li Chengzhong rolled his eyes and ignored the general's anger. He really couldn't believe it. If the general went out to gather his troops and fight again, who would he ask to reason? Li Chengzhong didn't say anything, and Wang Dalang still held the knife.
At the general's neck, he followed him out.
Not long after, there was a commotion outside, and Li Chengzhong motioned to Zhang Xingzhong to go out and take a look. Taking advantage of this time, he finally asked the identity of the young man. The young man was no one else, but Wang Zhaozuo, the only son of Wang Rong, the military commander of the Chengdu Army!
Hearing that he had captured the only son of the Chengde Army's Jiedushi, Li Chengzhong was so happy that he almost fainted. What a great achievement! This achievement came so easily, he even couldn't believe it. The other brothers in Youdu were also beaming with joy.
, everyone was so happy that they were a little overwhelmed.
It took a long time for Li Chengzhong to come back to his senses and he circled around Wang Zhaozuo twice with a smile. The covetous look in his eyes made Wang Zhaozuo, who was kneeling on the ground, unable to help but tremble. After watching for a long time, Li Chengzhong was very interested.
Asked: "Is your lord Wang Jiedu?"
Wang Zhaozuo said fearfully: "Exactly..."
Li Chengzhong felt elated again, and after holding back, he said: "Oh my, I can't believe it. How old are you? How could Wang Jiedu let you go out to do such a dangerous job?"
Wang Zhaozuo said dejectedly: "It is said that I want to let the boy come out and have some experience, so that he can gain more qualifications and prestige."
Li Chengzhong nodded, looked left and right, and saw that Wang Zhaozuo was a little hairy, and asked again: "How old are you?"
Wang Zhaozuo said: "Twelve years old..."
Li Chengzhong sighed: "You came out to hang out at such a young age. It's really... Jianghu is dangerous, do you understand? Haha!" He was a little incoherent, and asked again: "By the way, who was the one who went out just now?"
Wang Zhaozuo said dejectedly: "That's General Liang..."
Li Chengzhong said angrily: "Nonsense, I know his surname is Liang! What is his name? What does he do?"
Wang Zhaozuo was so frightened that Li Chengzhong shouted angrily: "Liang...Gong...Gong...Confucian...Zhen...Zhenzhou soldiers and horses..."
Just as they were talking, Zhang Xingzhong and Wang Dalang had already turned back with the general named Liang Gongru. They both looked relaxed. Wang Dalang's sword was returned to the scabbard and was not placed on Liang Gongru's neck. Everything was obviously fine outside.
Zhang Xing gave Li Chengzhong a wink and signaled Li Chengzhong to go out and comfort the prisoners outside. As he walked out, he said to Li Chengzhong: "There are a total of 223 people surrendered outside, including five Renyong captains and seventeen
Accompanying Colonel Li Lang, I have gained a lot!" When he said this, he could not hide the joy on his face.
With Wang Zhaozuo, Li Chengzhong looked down upon those benevolent and brave people outside, including those who accompanied the army. He chuckled and said: "Guess who we caught? Wang Zhaozuo!...What? You don't know who he is.
?No way...Don't you know everything? That is the only son of Chengdejun Wang Jiedu!...I am lying to you? Is our old Li that kind of person?...Oh, by the way, this guy with the surname Liang is called Liang Gongru
, he is... you know this? I thought you didn't know..."
The two of them were talking, and Li Chengzhong came outside and saw Chengde soldiers kneeling on the ground in front of the courtyard. Their swords, guns, and flags were piled up together, and four of Zhang Xingzhong's men were taking care of them. Li Chengzhong comforted him and said,
As long as the soldiers are surrendered and don't cause trouble, their lives can be saved. In addition, the Lulong Army Group will enter the village soon, and everyone can have a full meal by then. If they make trouble, they will be killed immediately. In short, it is a big stick and a sweet date.
, even threats and deceptions, and some wishes were finally made to calm down the frightened soldiers of the Chengde Army.
Li Chengzhong asked people to find some ropes in the village, and ordered the Chengde soldiers to tie each other up. Then he felt relieved and returned to the courtyard. Seeing that Liang Gongru still looked unhappy, he smiled and patted his shoulder.
Said: "Don't be like this, brother, relax."
Liang Gongru shook his shoulders, shook off Li Chengzhong's palm, and said coldly: "How can you, a small gang leader, be qualified to call someone a brother?"
After receiving such a cold face, Li Chengzhong also lost his temper: "What's wrong with the Huotou Army? I still let you surrender! The defeated general is still so arrogant, don't be shameless!"
Liang Gongru said angrily: "If it weren't for someone's new defeat, and you suddenly attacked with conspiracy, otherwise with your skills, how could you have succeeded! How can you be a hero when you take advantage of others' danger!"
Li Chengzhong took a deep breath and said: "Taking advantage of people's danger? Who is taking advantage of people's danger by the Yongji Canal? Tens of thousands of my brothers in the Lulong Army spilled blood by the river just because you became the German army and took advantage of people's danger.
! Tens of thousands of brothers, just stabbed in the back by you... Do you still have the right to say anything to me about taking advantage of others' danger?"
Liang Gongru listened, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "It wasn't X's idea, and I didn't want to... In short, it's too late to say anything now. Liang can let you, Lu Longjun, do whatever you want. I just want to let X go."
The young master of the family. The marshal of a certain family only has one son..."
After a dispute, no one said anything. Everyone could not help but sigh as they thought about everything that had happened in the past few days. After that, the courtyard suddenly became quiet.
Less than an hour later, he heard noises coming from outside the village. Li Chengzhong hurried outside the courtyard and saw a large group of soldiers pouring in at the entrance of the village. They looked like they were the Lu Long Army. Wang Dalang, who was sent to greet the village, was coming from the entrance.
Zhuangkou rushed over, and when he was in front of Li Chengzhong, he said breathlessly: "Here it comes!...Young Marshal...I just found out clearly that the Marshal's second son...the Young Marshal personally led the troops here..."
Before Wang Dalang finished speaking, he saw a dozen cavalrymen rushing towards him, surrounded by a silver-helmeted cavalryman. The cavalryman was very young, with handsome features, and looked extraordinary. Wang Dalang did not need any further introduction.
Of course Li Chengzhong knew that this must be Marshal Liu Rengong's second son, whose real name was Liu Shouguang. He then stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "I have met the young marshal!"
Liu Shouguang didn't bother to talk to Li Chengzhong and asked anxiously: "Where is he?"
Li Chengzhong pointed toward the courtyard, and Liu Shouguang's followers all got off their horses and rushed directly into the courtyard. Liu Shouguang also got off his horse and followed closely behind. Li Chengzhong followed Liu Shouguang into the courtyard and saw the young marshal Wang Zhaozuo.
He, Liang Gongru and others were escorted to one side and lined up.
Liu Shouguang seemed to be familiar with Liang Gongru and others. He stepped forward and laughed, sarcastically and taunting the German generals. Then he waved his hand with satisfaction and asked his soldiers to take him away. It was only then that he turned around.
He came up and looked at Li Chengzhong.
Li Chengzhong bowed his head and was waiting for Liu Shouguang's reward when he heard Liu Shouguang ask: "Which army and horse do you belong to?"
Li Chengzhong replied: "A certain class of soldiers were sent to camp Youdu before and were under the command of the Zhou commander."
Liu Shouguang said "Oh" and said with a smile: "It's not easy. It's great to be able to come back alive. This time, we captured all the German generals alive. Thanks to you and others' early discovery of the traces of these rats, it can be regarded as a great achievement."
"
Li Chengzhong was stunned. It was clearly his Youdu brothers who captured Wang Zhaozuo, Liang Gongru and others alive. How could he listen to the young marshal and just take credit for discovering the trace? He looked up and saw Liu Shouguang's face looking like a smile but not a smile.
Looking at himself, his heart suddenly became clear - this person is trying to steal the credit! But he couldn't figure it out. He was clearly a young marshal, why did he still want to compete with the lowest level soldiers like himself? The marshal.
Jia Erlang, the entire Thirteen Prefectures of Lulongjun Town belongs to your Liu family, why do you need this credit?
He was in a daze here, and several Youdu brothers behind him also looked at each other. Zhou Qidao couldn't help but said loudly: "Young Marshal, these Chengde soldiers were captured alive by a certain class..." Before he finished speaking, a general behind Liu Shouguang scolded: "
Shut up! You have no right to speak in front of the young marshal!"
Liu Shouguang frowned slightly, looked at the armors worn by Li Chengzhong, and said coldly: "Speaking of which, looking at your armor, it seems that you are not brothers of my Lu Long Army, but more like the Southern Army..." Behind him, he just scolded Zhou.
The general with the machete said: "Young Marshal, these are the clothes of the Bian Army."
Hearing this, Li Chengzhong was startled and said hurriedly: "Young marshal, this is the armor captured by someone who killed several Bian soldiers on the way. Uh... Also... a certain brother congratulates the young marshal for capturing the enemy chief alive.
As for the brothers discovering traces of the enemy chieftain, it is just a trivial matter and does not need to worry the young commander."
Liu Shouguang smiled and nodded, and said: "Having said that, the reward should still be given. After returning to Hejian, go to the government office to receive the reward. Each person will be rewarded three thousand!" After that, he ignored Li Chengzhong and others.
, went out straight away, and led the army to escort all the prisoners of the German army and turned around on their own.
After Liu Shouguang and his entourage left Zhuangzi, everyone was silent for a long time. Zhang Xing sighed heavily, Jiang Miao looked at Li Chengzhong in disbelief, Wang Dalang opened his mouth and did not speak for a long time, and Zhou Qidao said angrily: "What the hell?"
!”
After staying for a while, Youdu continued to head north dejectedly. No one was interested in talking and just walked lazily. Li Chengzhong suddenly remembered something and quickly ordered the brothers wearing armor to change their clothes back. It took a while for everyone.
In a hurry.
Along the way, he gradually encountered the Lu Long Army cleaning the battlefield and chasing the Cheng De Army. Wang Dalang stepped forward to inquire about it. After several inquiries, he found out that the commander Zhou Zhiyu had returned to Youzhou with the Marshal Liu Rengong.
Hearing the news, Li Chengzhong suddenly stopped, and everyone also stopped and looked at him. Li Chengzhong called several team leaders over and said: "Hejian is ahead..." He paused after saying this , and said: "Everyone also knows that the Marshal and Commander Zhou have returned to Youzhou... none of our brothers from the Jianzu Camp are in Hejian..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Miao asked, "Li Lang doesn't want to enter the river?"
Li Chengzhong nodded. Wang Dalang didn't quite understand, so he asked, "Why don't you join? Brothers have traveled thousands of miles and have worked very hard."
Zhao Daye said: "Yes, each of our brothers still has a reward of three thousand yuan to receive."
Zhang Xingzhong suddenly said: "Li Lang is afraid that the young commander will do something bad to us?"
Li Chengzhong nodded again.
Zhou Qidao said angrily: "Why are you afraid of him? We must act upright and sit upright! At worst, we will ask the commander for comment..."
Zhang Xingzhong suddenly glared at Zhou Maidao: "Shut up, Zhou Da! If it hadn't been for Li Lang just now, we Youdu would have almost been destroyed! Also, this time the matter ends here, what is the identity of the young marshal? It is also a theory obtained by a certain class Don’t bring any trouble to all the brothers!”
Zhou Qidao was extremely depressed, but he knew that what Zhang Xingzhong said was reasonable. He had nowhere to vent his anger, so he had no choice but to let out a bitter "poof" and squat on the ground to gasp for air.
Zhang Xingzhong turned around and asked, "Where does Li Lang plan to go?"
Li Chengzhong said slowly: "Youzhou! Let's go directly to Commander Zhou and return to the Jianzu camp."
