At dinner time, Xiao Fu urged his auxiliary soldiers to distribute steamed cakes to each battalion.
"Doctor Xiao, please stay." Kang Yanxiao coughed and said.
Xiao Fu asked his subordinates to continue supervising the distribution of food and water. He stayed in Kang Yanxiao's tent and sat down with Zhang Mazha.
"Doctor Xiao, now that the matter has come to a head, we can no longer play casually. Is there any way to escape?" Kang Yanxiao asked.
Xiao Fu was silent for a moment and said: "This matter requires General Kang's help."
Kang Yanxiao was waiting for this sentence and asked: "How to contribute?"
"How many people can General Kang win over?"
"There are still hundreds of people."
"Too few." Xiao Fu sighed: "Maybe these hundred people will be the backbone, and they will make loud noises and coerce more sergeants to participate?"
"It's a bit difficult." Kang Yanxiao said: "General Pang Du still has prestige. There are rumors in the army that Shao Shude wants to send all the surrendered troops to Yinshan, Shaqi, and Qingtang. The mountains and rivers are poor, bandits are rampant, and he will never be able to see his family again.
The sergeant was frightened, suppressed his uneasiness, and wanted to fight to the death with Xia Bing."
"I don't think this will to fight to the death is very reliable. If Xia Bing attacks fiercely, it may leak out." Xiao Fu said: "What does Zhu Yougong think?"
"I think he is still hesitant." Kang Yanxiao said: "He is patrolling the camp right now. He is very diligent. This person still has feelings for Prince Liang. After all, he has been an adopted son for so many years. Once he returned to his real name, he turned his back on Prince Liang.
, I will definitely be reviled by everyone in the world, I’m afraid I won’t dare.”
"Why do I think he is so interested in fame and wealth?" Xiao Fu asked doubtfully.
"This is true, but it is also true that he is still hesitating." Kang Yanxiao said: "And he seemed to feel the undercurrent in the army. He was patrolling each camp with his own soldiers, eating and sleeping with the soldiers, worried
They are causing chaos."
"Zhu Yougong is also capable. He is called a adopted son, but he is actually a slave. Why can't he think about it?" Xiao Fu sighed.
Kang Yanxiao had nothing to say.
People are different. If everyone in the world only started from the perspective of interests, it would be easy to judge their choices. But in fact, it is not necessarily the case. Zhu Yougong is definitely not die-hard loyal to King Liang, but for righteousness
Tired of his reputation as a son, he has not yet made up his mind. I believe that as the situation changes, he will eventually make a decisive decision.
"Don't act rashly first, let's wait and see what happens tomorrow." Xiao Fu sat for a while and then prepared to leave. He said before leaving.
"That's all we can do." Kang Yanxiao nodded.
That night, neither Pang Shigu nor Zhu Yougong had a good sleep. The former was worried about the sergeants making trouble, while the latter was undecided whether to make trouble. The suffering was evident.
On the fifth day of May in the fourth year of Qianning, the general attack on the Kuang Wei Army officially began.
As usual, Shao Shude climbed onto the high platform and overlooked the entire battlefield.
After a night's rest, Xia's soldiers were well fed and their horses were in full swing. The king of Xia personally supervised the battle, and all the soldiers were brave and vying for the lead.
The Jianrui Army and the Zhongwu Army were the main offensive forces, attacking from the east and west. The Wuwei Army feigned attacks from the south to contain the attack. To the north was a large area of farmland, and no offensive troops were arranged.
"Are you feeling better?" Shao Shu asked, holding Wang Yu's hand.
"You can even behead the thief." Wang Yu said with a smile.
Of course, the reality was far from as easy as he said. His family knew about his family affairs, the disease was eroding his body, and his strength was slowly draining away. Wang Yu could clearly feel that if he rode straight towards the well-prepared thieves, he would really do it.
Death, although it is not too far away from death now.
"Your second son is smart and brave. He studied and practiced martial arts with the prince. He will be my son's pillar from now on." Shao Shude sighed and said.
The crown prince Shao Chengjie has many "partners" around him. A closer look at their identities reveals that they all have good backgrounds. For example, the Dingyuan Army envoy Wang met his second son Wang Jichuan, the Shunyi Army's Yuhou Li Duo's second son Li Yixian, and the Dongdu Qi Rujie
Gao Renhou, the governor of Du, was the second grandson of Gao Lun, the former Tianxiong Military Academy, Li Xiu, the son of Li Chong, a martial arts student, and so on.
Shao Shude promised that those who conquer the world with him will be rich, and those who are kind to him will also be rewarded generously. He has been practicing this for many years.
The old guys will all be rewarded with titles in the future, their eldest son will inherit the family business, and if they have another son who will become familiar with the prince, it won't be too bad in the future.
Even foreign generals who have been deprived of their power have benefits.
After Li Fan resigned from the post of Shaanxi and Guojiedushi, he received a hundred horses, three thousand coins, and ten thousand pieces of cloth as rewards. Shao Shude also gave Lingzhou other courtyards, one for each court, and appointed two of his sons as officials, and they were appointed as governors of Youzhou.
Matter, Yanzhou Sima.
Gao Renhou led the battle of Luoyang and won a great victory. Because his eldest son passed away, his eldest grandson Gao Mian, who was seventeen years old, became the order of the Lu family in Guozhou. The second grandson studied martial arts and literature beside the prince. In the future, when the prince inherits the throne, he will have to employ people.
At that time, wouldn't these noble disciples who grew up with him have great advantages?
He was even more partial to martial arts students. In the battle to encircle and suppress the Changzhi Army, the Tianxiong Army suffered heavy losses. If any of the battalion-level deputy generals and Yu Hou died in the battle, one of their sons would be admitted to the palace to study. He had no heirs.
, select one person from the clan to enter the palace, and also select a child from the clan to adoptively inherit the incense.
There are already dozens of people in the "Young Legion" around Shao Chengjie. Each of these young ones can bring out an old one, and together they are an extremely huge energy. Otherwise, Shao Shude would not be able to watch women in Jinxian
Playing it so surely? The princess might set this den on fire.
Violent cheers suddenly erupted outside the camp in front. Shao Shude and Wang Yu turned around to look, only to see dozens of mighty soldiers ascending the wall.
However, they were quickly driven down. Pang Shigu mobilized his troops and personally supervised the battle. He killed more than ten defeated soldiers in a row, and finally saved this section of the wall and killed dozens of Xia soldiers.
"The fight between trapped beasts." Wang Yu smiled and said, "It's so easy to attack the stronghold, and the morale of the thieves is not high."
"Pang Shigu has already determined to die." Shao Shude said, "It's almost time."
He was willing to surrender enemy officers and generals, but not everyone. He was not interested in die-hards like Pang Shigu, so he might as well grant him permission.
"Two days after tomorrow, the Luoyang camp troops will arrive one after another, so the king can move eastward to meet Zhu Quanzhong." Wang Yu said, "If we can capture him, the situation in Henan will be settled."
"I'm afraid Quanzhong won't come." Shao Shude said helplessly: "Looking at what this man does, he is capable of bending and stretching, and never cares about his face. He will probably run away."
Zhu Quanzhong was really thick-skinned. He recognized Wang Chongrong as his uncle and Zhu Xuan as his brother. When he asked Li Keyong for help, he was humble and polite, but when he killed him, he turned his back and refused to acknowledge him. He called Luo Hongxin, the military envoy of Weibo, "Liu Hongxin".
"Brother", in history, in order to form an alliance, the daughters were married off when they were around ten years old. After the death of one daughter, they would marry the second one. They even took advantage of the death of their daughter to send thousands of soldiers of the Changzhi Army to sneak into Weizhou, cooperate with Luo Shaowei, and kill him.
Eight thousand yamen soldiers.
This person doesn't know how to write the word "face". I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to lure him here.
****
The intermittent siege battle lasted all day, and after nightfall, they even attacked several times before stopping.
That night, there was an undercurrent surging among the Kuang Guards.
The corpses of their fallen comrades and the cries of pain from their injured soldiers all tortured their restless hearts.
The fear of death gradually overcame the worry of being sent to a foreign land. There were whispers everywhere in the army, and the officers were unable to suppress them, and they may not even bother to suppress them.
At this time, almost anyone could raise their arms and shout.
Pang Shigu's eyes widened and he patrolled back and forth with his soldiers, carefully staring at every corner of the camp.
As soon as there are signs, they will be killed, and the cruelty of the methods will make people shudder. Similarly, it also aroused the rebellious psychology of the army officers and soldiers.
No matter how good and obedient Liang Jun is, he is still compared with other vassals. But they are warriors after all, and they are unruly warrior masters after all. Making chaos is their specialty, but they cannot be suppressed by harsh punishments.
Early in the morning on the sixth day of the lunar month, the war started again without any suspense.
Guo Shaobin, Zhang Jun, Zhao Lu, and Zhao Yan worked hard and were sharp. The Zhongwu Army knew that they could not attack for a while and then collapse like they did yesterday. Today's offensive was particularly fierce, almost surpassing what they had done on the Yingdong front line.
Performance throughout the year.
By the afternoon of the battle, there were less than 6,000 Kuang Guards in the village, and the whole camp was full of wounded soldiers, wailing endlessly.
Xiao Fu quietly slipped to Kang Yanxiao's side and whispered in a low voice.
Kang Yanxiao had just returned from fighting at the head of the village and was breathing heavily. After hearing the words, he calmed down and listened silently. He said a few words from time to time, and Xiao Fu nodded repeatedly.
Not long after, the battle became more intense. The Jian Rui, Zhong Wu and Wu Wei armies repeatedly attacked the stronghold wall. Some Kuangwei soldiers did not want to die here, so they crossed the stronghold from the north and fled into the fields. The defenders could not stop them.
Pang Shigu had just defeated the Wuwei army and personally beheaded a member of the military academy. He was furious when he heard the news. He led a hundred soldiers and angrily rushed to the north of the village.
Halfway through the journey, an arrow suddenly shot out and hit his neck.
Pang Shigu's personal soldiers were shocked and immediately guarded him.
"You went on an expedition a few years ago, and you didn't see your family. You were lying on the ice and eating snow, and you were dead and injured. What did you gain?"
"The thieves are dozens of times more numerous, but now they are unable to defeat them. Will they all die?"
"The King of Liang has fled back to Bianzhou, do you still want to fight to the death? How foolish you are!"
A chorus of shouts rang out all around, heard far and near.
The Kuang Guard sergeants who were sitting on the ground and resting did not immediately go up to protect their commander. Instead, they looked at him and listened silently.
"Kill Pang Shigu, King of Jiangxia, and we can still return home."
"The King of Xia is kind and generous and treats others with integrity, so why should he be suspicious?"
"Now that we are trapped in a heavy siege, how can we escape and feel comfortable? It is better to surrender!"
There are more and more deceptive words, and they seem to have magic power and penetrate directly into people's minds.
"Shut up!" Pang Shigu shouted with all his strength, blood foaming from the corner of his mouth.
"Kill Pang Shigu, and we will be saved!" More than a hundred sergeants rushed over with weapons, shouting loudly.
"Isn't that the prime minister Kang Yanxiao? He has already rebelled, so why are we hesitating?" A sergeant said loudly when he saw Kang Yanxiao in heavy armor rushing to the front.
"Damn it, done it!"
"I have long disliked Pang Shigu!"
"Kill him and you can go home."
"Kill, you are cruel to the soldiers. This kind of person should be cut into pieces."
More and more sergeants rushed forward, looking crazy and with red eyes.
The soldiers only resisted for a moment before being drowned in the sea of people.
Pang Shigu lay on his back on the ground, looking sad and sad. Soon, countless swords and axes covered the sky and fell on him almost instantly.
