In his drunken state, Li Xin held Niu Kui's hand and wanted to have a drink with him, but the angry Niu Kui chopped off his head with a knife. Master Niu Kui, who had been cowardly for so many years, finally became awesome for a while!
The situation in the city was quickly brought under control, and officials at all levels expressed their allegiance to Niu Kui. What was even more ridiculous was that after the news spread in the military camp outside the city, it actually caused great chaos. Several of Li Xin's
The cronies wanted to lead troops to attack the city and avenge Li Xin! But the remaining people were unwilling to be cannon fodder, and the dispute turned into a fight, eventually killing dozens of people. Of course, the ones who died were basically Li Xin's cronies.
As for the soldiers who caused the trouble, they didn't dare to rebel, but if they were timid, there would probably be no good fruits to be gained. A few of the gangsters who suddenly appeared suddenly gathered together, gritted their teeth, stamped their feet, and ran away!
So they robbed the warehouse of the military camp and all the valuable belongings, divided them among themselves, had a few fights, and then hurriedly packed their luggage and went their separate ways!
As for the remaining 1,200 people, they moved too slowly and did not grab anything. They were usually honest and had no independent opinions. What could they do now? They had no choice but to wait in the barracks. Otherwise, what else could they do? Run away.
There's no place to run!
Fortunately, the county magistrate's people in the city arrived soon. They announced that they were loyal to the county magistrate, and they would forget about it and still take care of the food!
So what are you waiting for? Who are you going to eat food with? So they expressed their allegiance one after another, and even took the initiative to patrol the city with them to ensure that no big accidents happened in Rile County. So Rile County soon became the real county magistrate.
’s territory.
Next, of course, I sent someone to find Master Lu Guang. After spending so much effort to kill Li Xin, was there any other choice besides surrender? Master Niu Kuo didn't dare to show off in front of Lu Guang anymore.
When Duan Ye learned all this, he was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the reactionary leaflets he drafted could have such an effect. However, Duan Ye did not forget to ask Duan Ping and Liu Guo to each bring 500 of the most reliable people to lurk into Zhangye in batches.
County, and then took over Rile County.
Duan Ping was worthy of being a talented person. He went to Jile and first succeeded in convincing Lord Niu Kuo to surrender. Next, he spent a few days to appease the people, and then raised the banner of Lu Guangxi's expedition at the top of the city and officially announced to all parties that Japan
Le County rebelled!
This made the matter big, because Rile County is one of the most important counties in Zhangye City, second only to Jiaole County where the government is located, and Lu Jun unexpectedly appeared behind Zhangye County City and returned the favor.
The enemy occupied the most important Jiao Le County, which suddenly caused chaos in Zhangye City.
The matter was not over yet, Duan Ye was still chatting with the addicted Meng Kai in Jiuquan City, while Peng Huang happily led his army to the gates of Wulan County.
Needless to say, after Wulan County Magistrate Lin Qiang expressed his unwillingness to surrender immediately, Peng Huang directly asked Zhang Meng's five huge stone cannons to fire together, instantly destroying the city gate, and then the army swarmed in.
Wulan County was captured with only a dozen casualties. Of course, the county magistrate was also captured alive.
Peng Huang was very friendly and announced that he would protect the country and the people, and reduce taxes according to the orders given by Jie. Of course, he did not forget to kill more than ten people to avenge the dead soldiers.
At the same time, Jiang Fei's progress was much smoother. Zhao Wei, the magistrate of Xiedan County, was more sensible. When he saw the dark army and the fierce momentum under the city, he was immediately frightened. There was no need to persuade him to surrender, so he carried the coffin on his back.
He opened the door and went out of the city to surrender without losing any blood.
On the other hand, Lu Zuan's Qingqi went to Li County. Something happened that shocked Lu Zuan. The magistrate of Li County, Zhang Guang, was probably confused. Seeing that Lu Zuan only had 2,000 people, he had 2,500 people.
I feel that defending the city is too boring. Instead of sitting in a pit, why not lead the army to fight and have a showdown?
Therefore, before the battle, Zhang Guang revamped Sun Tzu's Art of War and memorized it furiously with the energy to test the assault. When it dawned in the morning, he felt that he was sure of victory and that he had the world. So he opened the city gates and went out with 2,500 infantry to fight Lu Zuan decisively.
!
In the end, there was a decision, not a fight! After being stunned for a long time, Lu Zuan finally determined that Zhang Guang was playing tricks, so he showed his sword and ordered a charge!
Miracles will not happen, and Sun Wu will not bless Zhang Guang. The result will be corpses everywhere and rivers of blood. The weapons of criticism cannot replace the criticism of weapons.
The city fell.
The last of the four counties in Zhangye, Dichi County, is quite comical, because at that time, Meng Kai first persuaded the magistrate of Dichi County to resign, and then was allowed to negotiate on behalf of the four counties. Now, Peng Huang,
Jiang Fei and Lu Zuan are here, and the three armies will meet
At the foot of Shidichi County, Zhao Guang, who was alive and well, was now tied up against a forest wall with his hair disheveled and his clothes in ragged clothes, and Zhang Guang's head was held in Lu Zuan's hand. This finally made Qu Ming make up his mind not to be afraid of sacrifice.
, overcoming all difficulties, Kaicheng surrendered.
With a snap of a finger, all four counties are available.
At this time, the "negotiations" between Duan Ye and Meng Kai had entered the final stage. The two sides were arguing over whether Lu Guang should go to Dichi County in person to give a speech. In fact, this issue was, to put it bluntly, a power symbol issue. Although
It seems nonsense.
Therefore, Meng Kai was debating seriously, and Duan Ye was pretending to be serious about fighting for each other. The two sides were going back and forth, and it was very lively.
It wasn't until the parched Duan Ye grabbed the tea cup and started drinking water that he saw Duan Ping walking in. Then he smiled at the proud Meng Kai and said, "Since Mr. Meng said that you can never give in on this point,
Otherwise, there will be no more negotiations. Duan also feels that there is no need to negotiate anymore. Mr. Meng, please come back."
Meng Kai was stunned. Just now, Duan Ye was fighting for every inch of territory but was afraid that he would interrupt the negotiations. Why did he fall out so quickly?
This is playing hard to get! It must be playing hard to get! Meng Kai thought happily that this was just Duan Ye trying to force himself to give in.
Meng Kai, who consciously saw through Duan Ye's tricks, smiled proudly and said: "Mr. Duan, why is it like this? Look, we have been talking for so long, and if it ends like this, wouldn't it be a waste of all our efforts?"
"Ahem." Duan Ye coughed twice in embarrassment, "Mr. Meng, what I mean is very clear, right? I mean, there is no need to continue talking. Mr. Meng, please come back."
Meng Kai was irritated and slammed the table with a bang, "You and I have signed and pledged these documents. There are more than a dozen articles in total. After so much effort, can it be invalidated like this?"
"It is indeed invalidated?" Duan Ye said innocently, "Now that the four counties of Zhangye are in my hands, why bother talking about it?"
"What?" Meng Kai's heart suddenly sank, "What do you mean by this?"
"It means..." Duan Ye looked at Duan Ping who was holding back his laughter, "Now, the four counties of Wulan, Xiedan, Li County, and Dichi belong to our army, and... the four counties, the two counties, are
One surrendered, one was captured, and the other was killed. Mr. Meng, do you think... is it necessary to continue talking?"
"You guys!" Meng Kai felt dizzy immediately and bit his tongue hard before he could stabilize his body. Duan Ye seemed to want to give him more stimulation, so he smiled and said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, if
Today, Le County is also ours
Okay, while we are negotiating, I have sent troops to take over. Now the situation has been stabilized, and all the resources and food in the city are there. Now the city is closed, the main roads are blocked, and no entry or exit is allowed. Now, Zhangye is an isolated city.
!”
Looking at Duan Ye with an innocent face, Meng Kai, who was almost fainting, was extremely sad and angry, and couldn't help but said angrily: "You are so shameless! Since we are talking about peace, why bother to do this? Since we want to fight, we should fight openly! We still have to fight.
Afraid of you?"
"Childish." Duan Ye dropped these two words and said with a smile on his face: "I'm still very busy. If you still want to talk, just talk to Duan Ping. I don't know how much higher he is than you.
, if you don’t want to talk about it, feel free to do it yourself, but you can’t go to Zhangye, because I have sent people everywhere to spread the word that the loss of the four counties was all caused by your internal involvement. Well, you can go to Guzang.”
After saying that, Duan Ye swaggered away with his hands behind his back. Meng Kai looked at his proud back and couldn't help but cursed Duan Ye with almost all the vicious words he could think of.
Dry mouth and tongue.
Finally, tired of scolding, Meng Kai looked at Duan Ping, who had been drinking tea and ignored him, and felt his mouth was dry. He quickly grabbed his cup, took a big sip, then placed the tea cup heavily on the table and said:
"Please tell me everything that happened in the four counties."
Duan Ping, who had received instructions in advance, naturally did not hide his secrets, so he told Meng Kai without reservation the full plan of seizing the city without war or peace, seizing the opportunity, and dividing and conquering. Meng Kai was also confused.
He explained without any secrets, and did not stop until Meng Kai had no more questions to ask.
Meng Kai was stunned.
He didn't expect that this time he would become a joke in the eyes of others! He had been used for so long without realizing it, and he still felt good about himself until the last moment.
Think about the arrogance that I made in front of Lu Guang at that time! Think about the verbal battles that I racked my brains over the past few days, think about the ridiculous clauses that I signed and signed and thought I had a plan... Those are all bullshit!
What happened to the signature? Wouldn't they change the handwriting? What happened to the seal? Wouldn't they announce that the seal was stolen and engrave a new one? Thinking about this, Meng Kai felt that his level of maneuvering was really not as good as Duan Ye's toes.
Duan Ping saw Meng Kai's face struggling in pain, so he added another sentence: "My Duan Canjun feels that Mr. Meng is still a talent. Although this plan is because he is in his position and has to do it, he also hopes that Mr. Meng can learn some lessons from it.
, the so-called application of knowledge, the things in books are all great principles, and they are all correct, but that is the former
People have summarized it through countless practices of blood and fire, life and death. If you use it according to the book and dogma without distinguishing the specific situation, it will be a matter of harming your body or the country. Mr. Meng must remember it. If Mr. Meng still wants to do it in the future
These important matters are always welcome here, my lord. With that being said, Duan Ping is sorry."
After saying that, Duan Ping also left, leaving Meng Kai sitting there alone, looking at the sunset outside the door with an uncertain expression.
