Chapter 1016: Wrong Strategy to Recruit and Surrender
Hua Shixu stood aside and listened for a while, and finally he understood that Chen Yaofeng had secretly led his troops to Xuzhou Mansion, but this was all caused by him, Hua Shixu. Isn't it too heartless to watch the fun like this? Lala
Hua Qing's sleeves, Hua Shixu winked secretly, Hua Qing couldn't bear Chen Yaofeng's blame, took small steps to the case, knelt down, "King Jin, calm down, General Chen's incident is all because of this little girl."
Come on, King Jin, don’t blame him. If you want to blame, blame the little girl.”
Tie Mo just wanted to scare Chen Yaofeng, and he was not willing to punish him. At this moment, when he saw Hua Qing kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but panic. He quickly supported him and said, "Please hurry up, this matter has something to do with you."
What does it matter, Chen Yaofeng has resisted the order in private not once or twice, I just took the opportunity to remind him to prevent him from becoming more and more unruly."
Xu Meiling went over to help Hua Qing stand up and comforted him a few words. Hua Qing thanked him and left, but when he left, his beautiful eyes kept looking at Chen Yaofeng, who was drooping his head.
Tie Mo touched his chin and murmured in his heart. It seems that Yue Yaofeng's popularity with women is no worse than that of Yang Dingshan. Chen Yaofeng will have worries in the future, but this is fine. If Hua Qing can get out of Qin Lang's life, it won't be
Bad thing. Not long after Hua Qing left, Li Yangchun, Zhou Dingshan and others came to the tent and discussed the attack on Zhoukou County. Hua Shixu was surprised when he listened to everyone's discussion. What everyone was discussing was to attack the city tomorrow.
He didn't expect to attack the city so early. Didn't he want to give Qin Lang enough time to think?
After all, Qin Lang is his brother-in-law. Even if his stance is different now, Hua Shixu still doesn't want to harm Qin Lang's life, so he bites the bullet and asks, "Your Highness, please don't let me persuade you again!"
Tie Mo directly reached out his hand and refused, "No need, I have made my own decision. Qin Lang is unfaithful and capricious. I have given him a day to think about it. I have already been patient. There is no need for General Hua to say anything more."
If there is no more news from the city, our army will definitely attack the city, and Qin Lang will definitely be dead by then."
Tie Mo's words were unquestionable and showed the domineering nature he should have. Zhou Dingshan glanced at Hua Shixu with a hint of warning. His Highness gave Qin Lang a day to think about it for Hua Shixu's sake.
How could Hua Shixu not understand the meaning in Zhou Dingshan's eyes? He sighed secretly in his heart and said no more. He was a recent surrenderer and a bandit from Liangshan. It was very rare for His Highness to think so highly of him.
Indeed, there is no need for the Northern Jin Army to recruit Qin Lang to surrender, because there is no benefit at all from recruiting Qin Lang to surrender at this time. What he has done has already done its utmost to be benevolent and righteous. If Qin Lang fails to make a wise choice, he can only blame himself. Fortunately,
My sister is by my side, so I have no worries.
The night wind came, and the coolness swept across Chenzhou. The Northern Shanxi Army recharged its batteries, sharpened its swords, and prepared to launch a surprise attack on Zhoukou County. At this time, Qin Lang couldn't sleep either, sitting in the county government office.
He was thinking heavily. At around 12:00, he suddenly heard a rustling sound. Qin Lang woke up immediately, raised his head and shouted, "Who is this sneaky person who has the ability to stand in front of Mr. Qin?"
The door creaked open, applause sounded, and a middle-aged man in a green robe walked in. He had a sword hanging on his waist and several money darts hanging on his shoulders. "General Qin is indeed very powerful.
You can hear all this. Don't panic, General Qin. A certain Zheng Shirong, specially ordered by my General Li, has come to grant General Qin a fortune. I wonder if the general is willing to listen and tell me about the previous one?"
This person was Zheng Shirong. He looked calm, as if he was not worried at all that Qin Lang would get angry. Looking at the unfamiliar Zheng Shirong, Qin Lang had no expression on his face, and his whole face was tense. Suddenly, with a flick of his wrist, he pulled out his knife and pressed it on him.
Qin Lang had heard of Zheng Shirong's name. The rogue bandits had recently become popular and occupied the southern part of Henan Prefecture. Zheng Shirong and Bi Yonghao were the two most recent rogue bandit leaders. However, Qin Lang had never met Zheng Shirong, so he
With a bit of a sneer, he handed the steel knife forward a few inches, "How does Mr. Qin know if you are really Zheng Shirong? Moreover, who do you think Mr. Qin is? Is Mr. Qin the kind of person who is unjust and unjust for the sake of profit?
?”
Zheng Shirong sneered in his heart, even more so with a bit of contempt. Seeing gain and forgetting righteousness? Not only seeing gain but forgetting righteousness, in order to survive and find a place to live, he can even forget the hatred of his wife, children, old and young. What else can't be discarded by this kind of person?
If it hadn't been for General Li and Mr. Niu's repeated instructions, I really wouldn't have wanted to recruit this Qin Lang. People like him would be happy if he died. Although the steel knife was cold, Zheng Shirong was not worried. He stretched out his hand to pluck the back of the knife and said with a relaxed expression, "General Qin again
Why bother testing? If you didn't believe it, you would have called someone a long time ago. What's more, in this situation, who needs to pretend to be Chai? I'm afraid the Northern Shanxi Army outside the city has no need at all. Isn't that a waste of effort?
"
Just as Zheng Shirong said, Qin Lang thought the same way. He was just trying to threaten him. Seeing that the person's face did not change, he believed it. He put away his knife and sat down again. He said very rudely, "General Liu,
You can talk about it now."
Qin Lang seems to forget his nature very quickly. Just now he said that he is not the kind of person who forgets his loyalty when he sees benefits. In the blink of an eye, he is talking about surrender. It is obvious how Qin Lang's character is. As for his wife and child, he was thinking about it within three days after his death.
It is not surprising that he took a bride. Zheng Shirong was not ashamed of Qin Lang, but Gong Ying and Li Zicheng had already given orders, so he had to come politely, "My General Li sincerely invites me, and General Qin must not be able to refuse. Come."
At that time, General Li had already told Chai that if General Qin leads his troops back to Jiangling, the general's old army will still be under your command, and General Li will also allow you to serve as General of the West and lead an army alone."
The bargaining chip Li Zicheng threw was really exciting. In order to recruit Qin Lang to surrender, and to recruit Zhu Changxi's old troops, it can be said that he spent enough capital.
Qin Lang can be said to be very excited, because in this way, his strength has not shrunk, but has become a lot stronger. He is not worried about the rogue bandits breaking their promises, because his soldiers and horses still belong to him, and the rogue bandits want to break their promises.
Who will submit to the bandits in the future? The benefits offered by the bandits were too tempting, and Qin Lang couldn't refuse, but he thought about it and shook his head, "Thank you, General Li, for your love, but my wife is still in Xuzhou Mansion. I'm afraid she will be harmed."
Him."
Listening to Qin Lang's words, for some reason, Zheng Shirong felt as if he had eaten a dead fly. Not to mention the nausea, did Qin Lang really care about Hua Shixu's sister?
That must be a lie, no matter how sad the look on his face is, it is just a pretense. Saying this is just to find a way out for yourself. After all, being persuaded by others and giving up on your own initiative are two different things. It will sound better if you say it to others. Hum.
Humph, if you, Qin Lang, were really affectionate and righteous, you wouldn't be able to get married to a new wife without getting married for the first seven days.
Holding back his nausea, Zheng Shirong cupped his hands and said, "General Qin, what you said is different. If you are a true man, there is no need for a wife. As long as General Qin is prosperous and wealthy, is there still a need for women? With a woman, it will not be a problem to carry on the family line and continue the incense. Time will not be a problem.
urgent, still hopeful
General Qin should not be kind to women and make a decision early. When he entered the city, he got a general understanding of a certain family. Outside the city, he had no intention of waiting. He had already begun to prepare to attack the city. If General Qin hesitated again,
But you will be the one who died unjustly."
Huh? Qin Lang was really surprised. Zheng Shirong didn't lie to him. It seemed that Tie Mo was really sincere in surrendering. If he sincerely surrendered, it was impossible that he hadn't sent an envoy until now. There would be no benefit at all. Then
Is it called surrendering? After hesitating for a moment, Qin Lang quickly made a decision, whether to follow the rogue bandits or the Northern Shan army, any fool can make a choice.
Before Hai hour that night, there were many torches on the city wall, in preparation for an siege. The city wall was busy, attracting the Northern Shan Army's full attention. But just when the Northern Shan Army put all its attention on the city wall, Qin Lang
However, they secretly opened the north gate under the cover of night. It was also the fault of the Northern Shanxi Army. They never expected that Qin Lang, who was always concerned about his own life under siege, would open the city gate and leave the city by himself. In this way, Qin Lang took him by surprise and raided the northern military camp.
The northern military camp was the weakest defensive area of the Northern Shanxi Army. It was suddenly attacked by Qin Lang's army and did not react at all. When other soldiers and horses from the camp came to rush to help, as soon as they passed the North Camp, Qin Lang's army rushed into Kaifeng Futai.
Kang County, joined the rogue soldiers and horses. Let Qin Lang escape from under his nose, and the faces of the generals of the Northern Shan Dynasty would be terrible.
Somewhat uncontrollably, Zhou Dingshan ordered his troops and horses to attack Taikang. Chen Yaofeng even shouted at Qin Lang, especially Hua Shixu, who looked ugly. However, he proposed to surrender his brother-in-law, but he did not expect that the result of the surrender would be like this.
"Your Highness, please allow me to send troops and horses. I will capture Qin Lang and let Your Highness do what he wants."
Hua Shixu was so angry not only because Qin Lang ignored the persuasion to surrender and joined the bandits, but because this man had no regard for the safety of his sister Hua Qing. He felt at ease because he knew that His Highness the King of Jin sent people to Xuzhou Mansion to rescue people, but
Qin Lang didn't know this. He did this without caring about his sister's safety. He was so blind back then. Why did he agree to marry his sister to this beast?
The soldiers in northern Shanxi were so angry that they wanted to cut Qin Lang's five horses into pieces. Tie Mo also felt bad, letting a thief escape from under his nose was simply the biggest joke he had ever committed in his life.
However, he was much calmer than others. He immediately slapped the table to quiet the noisy handsome tent, "What are you arguing about? Qin Lang is worth your uneasiness? Since he escaped, just ignore him. Now go to Taikang.
There is bound to be a full-scale conflict with the rogue bandits. Now that we have insufficient troops, it is not the time to deal with the rogue bandits. Here is my order from the king to rest peacefully tonight. We will set out to Huainan early tomorrow morning and deal with Zhu Changxi first."
Tie Mo got angry, and the others didn't dare to say anything nonsense, so they had no choice but to accept the promise and exit the handsome tent obediently.
Under the moonlight, Hua Shixu walked alone in the camp. The moonlight dragged his long figure, looking extremely desolate. There was still light coming from a small tent. Hua Shixu raised his hand and put it down again. He didn't know
How should I face my sister? But after a while
, or he mustered up the courage to lift the curtain and walked in. Hua Qing sat in front of the case, bored in a daze. When he heard the noise, he stood up quickly with a warm smile on his face, "Brother, are you back? You
Didn’t you just say that we would attack Zhoukou County tonight?”
Looking at the innocent Hua Qing, Hua Shixu felt more and more guilty in his heart. He sighed and said bitterly, "There is no battle to fight tonight. Sister, I will tell you something for my brother. Qin Lang will sneak attack on Beida Camp tonight."
, went to seek refuge with the rogue Li Zicheng."
He thought that his sister would be extremely sad and even burst into tears, but what surprised Hua Shixu was that Hua Qing was just stunned for a moment, then turned around. After a long time, he said leisurely, "That man, never
You only care about yourself, brother, after so many years, don’t you still understand your brother-in-law? But it’s okay to leave, just treat him as dead.”
Is Hua Qing really so calm? Absolutely not. A couple's love lasts for a hundred days. How can that love between husband and wife be given up? What's more, it's not just a day but a couple of years. That calmness is not really calm, but
It's just a manifestation of sadness and despair.
Looking at his sister's seemingly strong back, Hua Shixu's heart was bleeding. At this moment, he hated Song Qiao so much, and he hated himself even more.
Some people are born ruthless, and some are born with love. Hua Shixu is too loyal, and Qin Lang is the other extreme. He is selfish and can destroy everything for the sake of his future. Waiting for Hua Qing to sleep, Hua Shixu will be alone
Wandering in Zhoukou County, looking at the sparse streets, there were no clouds, only darkness. Gradually, he clenched his fists, Song Qiao, Qin Lang, this debt must be settled.
On August 27, the 13th year of Chongzhen, all the soldiers and horses in Chenzhou rushed into Huainan again. By this time, Huainan was no longer peaceful. The Yue King's army, which had been fighting for dozens of days outside Wujiang City, suddenly bypassed Wujiang and attacked eastward.
In Taicang County, Suzhou Prefecture did not have enough soldiers and horses. No one expected that the Yue King's army would penetrate deep into Taicang without capturing Wujiang. As a result, Taicang County was lost in concentration and was conquered by the Yue King's army in one fell swoop.
Meng Zexu, who was guarding Wujiang, was also angry, but had no choice. It was already very difficult for him to defend Wujiang with only a small number of troops. How could he still manage the affairs of Taicang County? Taicang was captured, and the situation in the entire Suzhou Prefecture began to change.
Earth-shaking changes. Taicang County is located to the east of Suzhou Prefecture. Together with the Suzhou outlet, its geographical location is very important. There is an official road from Taicang to Suzhou, which is very convenient for marching. Peng Xin began to be unable to sit still and recruited Ning Guoheng.
Discuss how to face the enemy.
On August 28, 20,000 soldiers and horses of Suzhou Prefecture were stationed in Kunshan. At the same time, Meng Zexu, who was stationed in Wujiang County, also received an order to abandon Wujiang and mobilize his troops to the north to control Wu County. At this point, all the soldiers and horses of Suzhou Prefecture were assembled.
When he arrived at places such as Kunshan and Wuxian, which were only close to Suzhou, Peng Xin's purpose was very clear, that is, to defend Suzhou and delay as much as possible until the Northern Shanxi Army arrived, without spreading out his forces and giving the rebels a chance to defeat them one by one.
