It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages
Chapter 237: My Lord Has Been a Man!
Chapter 237: My Lord Has Been a Man! (Digital Chapter)
Liu Ke asked someone to open the city gate, drive a donkey cart, and rush out.
He couldn't wait.
Anyway, the morale of the Donghu people has been beaten to a low level, and they are unsustainable, so they quickly took advantage of the random killings to expand the results of the battle.
Killing one more enemy now will make it easier for Xiping County later on.
Moreover, the soldiers who returned to the rebel army were not satisfied with just defending the city.
Beating the dog in the water is a skill that all Han soldiers must master.
The gate of the city was opened wide, revealing the donkey cart under the gate.
The long shadow cast by the setting sun directly passed through the thousands of Donghu soldiers under the city.
Liu Ke, who was running wildly, had the chessboard flying continuously. In his hands, the small and exquisite chessboard was a deadly weapon.
As long as it hits, Donghu soldiers will fall to the ground one after another.
Liu Ke entered Runan alone, and the chessboard was not enough.
Therefore, the chessboards in my hands until now were all taken from the homes of wealthy families in Xiping County.
I took all the door panels for you, and a few small chessboards, what kind of big deal can it be?
Since it belongs to a wealthy family, there are probably no cheap items.
So, even more outrageous scenes happened.
As the chessboards were thrown out one by one, the speed of the donkey cart became faster and faster.
Under Zang Li's dispatch, the Donghu people who were attacking gathered their formation as quickly as possible to form a shield formation.
With a knife in one hand and a shield in the other.
This kind of circular formation is most effective when used to deal with a fierce general rushing into the formation alone.
Even for a tough guy like Dian Chu, it is difficult to find a breakthrough.
If one is not very good, it is easy to fall into layers of siege, and it is difficult to get out.
It's a pity that facing Liu Ke is of no use.
After all, the morale of the Donghu soldiers has fallen to the bottom after the big pendulum of staying guests just now.
There are only a small number of people who can form the eight classics in a serious manner.
The other Donghu soldiers who were alone, even a little timid, and wanted to run away were Liu Ke's targets.
Persimmons should be grasped softly!
Liu Ke's force value still hasn't been raised very high, but because of [killing pigs] destiny, holding a chessboard spear, he can still do some subtle tricks.
I saw his chessboard spear, and when he raised his hand, he picked out an extremely strange angle.
Just rubbing the spears of the two Eastern Hu soldiers in front, and almost clinging to the gap, it hit the head of an Eastern Hu soldier.
Gently, it seems that there is no effort at all.
But the head of the Donghu soldier seemed to be hit by a heavy object, and his heavy body fell straight down.
The alert Donghu soldiers wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and thrust out their spears to force the donkey cart to stop.
I saw two spears thrust at the same time, with a sudden sound of wind, extremely fast and violent, and they fell down at the same time.
But Liu Ke's donkey cart driving skills are already at a level beyond the ages. He suddenly accelerated and then borrowed a drift.
It can even continue to accelerate while drifting.
The next moment, the donkey cart passed by like the wind.
Fast, simply too fast.
Even more Eastern Hu soldiers hadn't reacted yet, and were taken out by him in a daze.
But those two spears could only poke empty space.
Among the high-speed donkey carts, the chessboard spears of the Hu soldiers in the Middle East were exquisitely pointed. They did not touch any blood, but they killed countless people.
Coupled with the chessboard flying out from time to time, it is even more difficult to stop.
So what if you form an array?
I'll walk around your formation, and just walk around the periphery to kill skirmishers!
Originally, these scattered soldiers who were not in formation were the easiest to deal with.
After such a fierce pursuit and beating, he was completely discouraged!
Liu Ke is more afraid of salvo now, but there is no such thing as salvo in the defeated army.
As for the occasional wandering arrow, relying on the destiny of [self-driving travel], it can be easily solved.
"Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops!!"
Zang Li quickly issued an order, causing his cronies to frantically wave the order flag, playing the flag and wanting to withdraw.
The sound of footsteps, the clash of weapons, and shouts intertwined.
The Eastern Hu soldiers were pressing against each other, and for a moment, the original formation was completely disrupted.
The once majestic banner is now just swaying with the wind.
The banner was displayed, but it seemed extremely weak.
"Which way to go?"
"Where are you going?"
The Donghu soldiers looked panicked and looked around, trying to find someone who could command them.
But many senior non-commissioned officers either died in battle or fled.
Those soldiers who can still find their superiors can barely form a small team in a hurry.
But more of them are soldiers like headless chickens.
It was like a flock of birds that were startled at the same time in the nearby forest and fled in all directions.
The main road was already crowded, and the soldiers were pushing and shoving, trying to escape as soon as possible.
But in this chaos, more Donghu soldiers fell to the side of the road and fell to the ground.
Even though he just fell, he still fell on the side of a relatively wide road.
Even if someone was pushed behind him, the soldier who fell on the ground could still stand up in time to avoid being trampled.
But their hearts are more broken.
Just say don't attack the city. A good siege would be great, why bother to attack the city?
Leave guest posts for others to use as targets
No, it’s fishing as a fish!
At this time, it can be seen that although Zang Li has good abilities, he has some ability to command troops.
However, in terms of withdrawal, there is still a lack of enthusiasm.
Not only did they not order the withdrawal of troops at the first time when morale plummeted, but also did not issue a specific withdrawal method in the panic.
Moreover, a strange thought arose in the hearts of those fleeing Donghu people.
If only Li Jingji, the often-defeated general, was leading them.
Anyway, they can't win the battle, so Li Jingji can at least take them and run away together!
"Wish to surrender, wish to surrender!!"
There were sounds of surrender everywhere, and when Zang Li at the end saw this, he simply surrendered too.
Yes, let’s use the bitter meat.
If the momentum of the follow-up Guiyi army is good, Pu Qianguang's more than 4 soldiers and horses will be helpless, and they will even be defeated.
Then he really voted.
Liu Ke succeeded in subduing thousands of Donghu people by himself. It is rare to see such a great victory in the city defense battle in history books.
It's just that the surrender of the Donghu people needs to be treated with more caution.
Zhong Xuan led a rider over and said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, our army is now in the hinterland of Puqian, which is different from the Donghu people in Jingzhou."
"These Donghu people were forced to surrender under the defeat of the army, and they did not necessarily surrender sincerely."
"If there is another recurrence and rebellion is launched, Xiping County will be in danger!"
Liu Ke nodded, Zhong Xuan was right.
Now that they can stand firm against nearly ten thousand Donghu people, they might be able to fight against the tens of thousands of Pu Qianguang's main force.
And after recruiting these Donghu people, it would be better if these Donghu people sincerely surrender. If they suddenly rebel, Xiping County will be easily attacked from within.
Even if they don't turn against the water, it's just that there are ghosts spying on them and revealing the defense situation in the city, and it's not easy for them to defend the city.
Liu Ke nodded and said:
"As Qing Zhong said, the Guiyi Army is just a lone army with a worrying future. It is difficult for these Donghu soldiers to serve you and me sincerely."
"But if they can be successfully recruited, these people are all combatable soldiers, and not all of them are Donghu people, and there are also a large number of Han Chinese."
"These are all trustworthy."
Zhong Xuan's idea is indeed correct.
But for a lone army in the enemy's territory, it is also normal to use dropped troops to make up for the shortage of troops.
Zhong Xuan also knew it. After thinking about it for a while, he still persuaded:
"Your Majesty, the general is not saying that he can't trust them, it's just that there are mud and sand in them, and it's hard to distinguish between those who are sincere and those who have two hearts."
"Even though Pu Qianguang came here with a large army, but now that His Majesty is in charge, he can easily force-land the vanguard of Donghu, so he definitely won't attack the city easily."
"For the current plan, we can only stick to Xiping County and wait for reinforcements."
"Surrendering these Eastern Hu soldiers at this time is nothing more than adding variables. Please think twice, Your Majesty."
Liu Ke thought it over, Zhong Xuan was afraid that Donghu's soldiers would be capricious, which would cause civil strife.
But he likes Erwuzi.
After all, Erwuzi can activate Lu Fengfu, this unparalleled strong man among the rebels, and he is easy to use.
And he actually has a way to tell the difference between the second and the fifth.
It's just that a large number of Donghu soldiers who were recruited before, such as Wei Chengxian's department and Xiu Tubi's department, all contributed to the city and came with credit.
Inconvenient to use.
"Put them in jail first."
[Prison disaster: You are in the prison as if you are at home]
Don't overestimate the moral bottom line of these Donghu soldiers, maybe some of them dare to betray their family members.
But the natural sense of intimacy that this destiny brought to Liu Ke was just a bonus.
The point is to give him an understanding of the "family".
After understanding the temperament of these Donghu descendants, it is easy to pick out the dog things that may be repeated.
Even if there are a few people who miss it, they can only pass on the news at most, and it is impossible to lead the crowd to rebel.
Compared with the rest of the fresh troops who sincerely surrendered and could supplement their combat effectiveness, it was a bloody profit.
It's just that Zhong Xuan's brows were still tightly wrinkled, and he said in puzzlement:
"The prison in Xiping County can't hold so many people!"
Zang Li brought 8000 troops to attack the city.
Counting those who died in battle, those who fled, and those who surrendered, there are also 3000 people.
The prisons in a small county like Xiping County are full of prisoners, and they only hold a few hundred people.
It's not the specially built prison in Jiaozhi, which is called a prison but is actually a place for soldiers.
No matter how crowded it is, it cannot accommodate 3000 people.
"Then divide it into batches. Today you squat, and tomorrow he squats. Take turns."
Liu Ke Gangang was assertive and said without rebuttal:
"Don't need to talk about Zhongqing, he is good at training, so he should be strictly guarded."
"There must be someone available among them."
Zhong Xuan bowed his head in silence and did not respond to the order.
Liu Ke heard nothing, turned around and repeated to Zhong Xuan:
"Your Majesty, I will leave this matter to you."
Zhong Xuan was silent for a while, and finally nodded and said yes:
"Yes."
Then someone ordered:
"You search one by one, first search the weapons and armor, and then..."
"In addition, a camp was set up in the prison, and they were stationed there, and then they were imprisoned in the prison in turns."
The cronies around me were confused.
Is there another way to be detained in turn? ?
Then Liu Ke looked at Zang Li again.
[Name: Zang Li (Sergeant)]
【Age: 36】
【Command: 85; Force: 81; Wisdom: 72; Administration: 68】
[Characteristic: Rogue]
He is indeed a useful person, more than enough to be stationed in a state.
It's no wonder that as a Han Chinese, they can be so reused.
However, it seems that they still suffered some unfair treatment because of their identity as Han Chinese.
I heard that Zang Li just went back to Xuchang to report a letter, but Puqian Yonggu grabbed him and beat him with forty army sticks.
It is normal for the tide to fall now.
Liu Ke thought for a while and ordered:
"Come on, drag him down, and give me a forty army stick!"
"This person has taken refuge in Donghu, and I have lost tens of millions of loyal and brave soldiers who have returned to the volunteer army!"
Zang Li:? ? ?
"Yes!"
There were already soldiers from the Guiyi Army who were gearing up and hurried forward.
They had fought against Pu Qianguang before, but they had suffered at the hands of Zang Li!
Regardless of whether you surrender or not, report your personal grievances first today!
Just when Zang Li still didn't understand why.
Liu Ke leaned his head and said softly:
"I also ask General Zang to be patient for a while and suffer some humiliation, so that he can vote for Donghu again and act as an internal support for our army."
Zang Li was dumbfounded.
I am from Donghu, King Khan beats me, I am Han, Emperor Han beats me.
I have absolutely no idea what position I should be in right now.
Is it from Donghu's side or Dahan's side? ? ——
A few days later, Pu Qianguang's army arrived under Xiping County.
But he didn't dare to take the initiative to launch an attack. Instead, he found a suitable place outside the city and set up camp.
At the same time, they kept gathering the defeated troops, wanting to know what was going on with Zang Li.
Seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses attacked the city, consuming the vital strength of the Guiyi Army.
In the end, you beat them all, and you surrendered directly, adding vitality to others?
Soon, someone came to report with scattered defeated troops.
Pu Qianguang saw the person in front of him, and he was somewhat familiar, as if he was quite brave in the army.
It's just that she is in a particularly embarrassing situation now, the braids on her head are completely untied, her body is bruised and purple, and her lips are pale, as if she hasn't eaten for several days.
The whole person was in a daze.
"Come on, bring some meat soup!"
Pu Qianguang patted the table and endured waves of stench.
No matter how disgusted he is, he still needs to know the information!
This horse riding is too miserable, is there a million tigers and wolves in Xiping County? ?
After drinking the meat soup, the pawn felt a little warmth in his body, and seeing Pu Qianguang, he felt that he had a backbone again.
Immediately, snot and tears poured down, completely unstoppable:
"General! General!!!"
Pu Qianguang couldn't hold it any longer, why are you crying like a ghost?
However, he still comforted him with words:
"Ben will be here, nothing will happen."
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Kuizu coughed twice, and wiped away his tears, but one of them couldn't hold on, and sprayed out another snot bubble, which exploded in front of Pu Qianguang's body.
Pu Qianguang didn't wipe it off, but wiped the pawn with a clean sleeve, and asked softly:
"Is it better now?"
"Uh huh."
The defeated soldier shouted twice and finally calmed down, saying:
"Our army has been defeated!"
"This is to attack the city, but Liu Pheasant actually has all kinds of defensive equipment."
"Especially a super-large retention pile, which can not only hit people, but also be used repeatedly."
"There are iron chains on the top, and with a bang, a group of people can be thrown off their backs."
"Our army was beaten to such a low morale that it was unable to resist at all."
"And that Liu Zhi'er took advantage of General Zang's withdrawal, blatantly rushed out and directly killed our army."
"General Zang had no choice but to surrender with the remaining soldiers and horses!"
As Pu Qianguang listened, countless question marks popped up on his forehead.
What kind of guest stake is this that can be reused after being smashed to the point of knocking people off their feet?
But thinking of Emperor Han's innate supernatural power and unparalleled bravery, after thinking about it in every possible way, he still accepted it.
This is much more reasonable than thunder falling from the sky and rivers rising.
"Okay, you go down."
Pu Qianguang calmed down a little, and let the rout leave.
He has 8000 troops and horses. After excluding the 4 men assigned to Zang Li, there are still more than [-].
Due to the ebb and flow of the situation, the number of defenders in Xiping County may be around [-].
But that's not how the numbers work.
Runan is a place that Pu Qianbu has governed for many years. Some county soldiers were randomly mobilized for reorganization, and there was no shortage of soldiers at all.
As for the Donghu surrender troops in Xiping County, even if there were many soldiers of Han origin, Liu Pheasant might not believe it.
What's more, Zang Li was already a bitter mole who had been arranged a long time ago.
Surrender at this time is really a good opportunity.
This kind of record of turning defense into offense is also rare in history books. Under such a disastrous defeat, Zang Li's surrender will hardly arouse doubts.
Moreover, eight thousand Donghu soldiers were also presented as gifts.
It can be said that the lives of these eight thousand Donghu soldiers were used to make Zang Li win the trust of Liu Pheasant.
The price is great.
But obviously, the rewards are also great.
Pu Qianguang hastily summoned an agile confidant to spy, and ordered:
"Sneak into the city, get in touch with General Zang, and see what's going on in Xiping County."
"If it's possible, take the inside and the outside together, and you can decide for me how to act."
This confidant is related to him by marriage and is deeply favored, so he will never betray him.
Moreover, he has some brains and can make basic judgments according to the current situation.
If Zang Li could really achieve something in the city, it would be a good opportunity for him to cooperate with the outside to attack Xiping County and force the Han Emperor to flee.
Then he and Quan Yi can play a role in the net that he and Quan Yi will lay down around Xiping County.
"Yes."
After nightfall, everything inside and outside Xiping County became quiet.
The soldiers of the Guiyi Army in the city would definitely not dare to take the initiative to attack in the face of Donghu's army.
And the Donghu army over there didn't know the reality of Xiping County, so they didn't harass them at night.
The two sides lived in harmony for a while.
The whole city was pitch-black, except for the lanterns of the night watchmen, patrolling around the city.
The northeast corner of the city is where the prison is located, and there are a large number of Donghu soldiers.
Zang Li's temporary residence is also here.
It's just that because he is a general, the treatment is slightly better.
I found an unoccupied mansion and let him live in it.
Similarly, Zang Li didn't have to go to prison, and he was not very restricted in moving around on weekdays.
A black shadow came out.
A patrolling soldier seemed to have noticed something and gave a soft drink.
But soon the figure disappeared, and then there was a rat cry.
"A mouse?"
The patrolling soldier scratched his head and didn't pay much attention.
As soon as he left, the black shadow appeared again, probing around, very professional.
The thick-soled shoes under his feet made his footsteps very light.
Judging by his acquaintance, it is obvious that he is very familiar with the deconstruction of these squares and markets.
From time to time, he would follow the soldiers on night watch and listen to their conversations to get more information.
It didn't take long for the shadow to locate Zang Li.
He stopped at the entrance of an alley. Opposite the alley was a courtyard with a lantern hanging. The door was closed and it looked a bit eerie.
The faint light of the lantern reflected his face. This person was exactly the secret agent sent by Pu Qianguang.
He looked at the closed door with a sinister smile.
After a while, he sneaked in secretly and touched behind Zang Li, who was deep in thought in front of Kun Zhu.
"Brother Zang."
Zang Li was startled and almost shouted.
The spy whispered:
"it's me."
Zang Li looked back and saw the person coming.
This person was originally a bandit who was a bandit with him on Mount Tai.
Especially good at stealing chickens and dogs, his body is extremely light, and he can easily jump on the beam.
After he was incorporated, the spy also joined the Puqian Department.
Later, he was discovered by Pu Qianguang, and he took him as his confidant, and he usually did these dark jobs behind the scenes.
When Zang Li saw the spy, he knew the purpose of his visit, got up immediately, closed the window, drew the curtain, and whispered at the same time:
"There is some turmoil in Xiping County right now, but I have no way to confirm the news."
"Before it's confirmed, it's not easy to send information to General Pu Qianguang, and there are so many soldiers watching the night nearby, it's not convenient for me."
At the same time, Zang Li began to write on the paper.
The detective's eyes kept flickering, turning around on the paper on the table:
"only these?"
"I'm afraid it's not enough."
"I heard that Liu Zhi'er surrendered a large number of our soldiers. Is Big Brother Zang sure about getting them to rebel?"
"In this way, with General Puqian's army attacking the city, we can easily take Xiping County by cooperating with the inside and the outside."
Although many people's thoughts are to besiege Xiping County.
But this spy knew some of Pu Qianguang's plans, and after reading the information provided by Zang Li, he had some brave ideas in his heart.
Zang Li continued to write and draw, but in fact he had now completely converted to Han.
From the strokes of those Eastern Hu soldiers who surrendered, it can be seen that Emperor Han was very knowledgeable, and he could see his character and character at a glance.
Many descended soldiers who had been in jail had their heads cut off.
Zang Li went to see it himself.
As a general of Donghu, he naturally knew that some of them were diehard Puqianbu.
Some of them are even directly members of the Puqian tribe, or are inextricably linked with the nobles of the Puqian tribe.
Naturally, these people would not sincerely trust them.
As for the others, there were not many signs, and they looked mediocre on weekdays, and they were reduced soldiers who did not have a strong will to resist the Han Dynasty.
Zang Li originally thought that Emperor Han would rather kill these people by mistake than let them go.
And feel a little chilled.
Unexpectedly, after a little torture, he turned out to be a loyal and brave man who was dedicated to Dong Hu.
Good to die!
With this kind of insight into people's hearts, Jiang Zu has been included in everything.
There are not many diehards in it.
If Zang Li wanted to do something, he couldn't do it at all.
Zang Li even felt that his every move might be monitored by Emperor Han.
He knew exactly what was going on in his mind.
So Zang Li is also very straightforward now.
Master cast a man!
Even if the Han Emperor really wanted to send him back to the Donghu Army to serve as a spy, he would accept it.
He is a Han Chinese, he is a Han Chen, don't change it!
It's not that he was disloyal to Puqian Yonggu, and I'm sorry for Puqian Yonggu's kindness of knowledge.
There is really a gap in the abilities of the two sides!
If he is not completely loyal to the Han family, he is afraid that he will be seen through the next day. What kind of tricks are there, it is completely a meal delivered to the door!
So now, Zang Li is also doing things for the big man wholeheartedly, constantly fooling around and spying.
He knew very well that what Xiping County was most afraid of was the siege of the city, after all, the food reserves were limited.
If Pu Qianguang can lead an army to attack, he will be able to win in chaos, and there is a certain chance.
No matter how bad it is, you can still run if the city is broken!
Zang Li paid special attention to the fact that the donkey carts of Emperor Han could carry people.
If he slipped away with the donkey cart, even if Donghu's army surrounded him, he would still be able to escape.
Therefore, the spy's extremely heroic thoughts served his interests.
The spy still felt that Zang Li was one of his own, so he continued to boldly say:
"Now that Liu Zhi'er's attention should be on the army outside the city."
"Whether it is for the sake of survival or considering one's own background, there should be many people who are willing to surrender among the soldiers in the city."
"Brother Zang only needs to seize the opportunity and raise his arms, and then he can cooperate with the outside world."
Zang Li nodded.
There are indeed many people who are half-hearted.
So there are quite a lot of people who have been thrown out of jail after finishing their stay in prison recently.
However, he did not express his position in a hurry, but deliberately took a step back, and said with a worried look on his face:
"But they have all confiscated their weapons, and they have almost no fighting power!"
The detective said:
"Why bother!"
"The soldiers of the volunteer army are all farmers, how much experience do they have in battle?"
"And once our army attacks the city aggressively, those well-armored soldiers will definitely climb to the top of the city to resist."
"How many people are left in the city? How many are well-armored, capable and brave?"
"Although they are all soldiers, they are also soldiers who have undergone formal training."
"With the leadership of Brother Zang, we will definitely succeed."
Zang Li had to admit that the spy's analytical ability was very good.
As for Wang Lue's plan of suffering in advance, it was also good.
If he really belongs to Puqianbu with all his heart, then it will be easy to get things done.
Under the combination of inside and outside, Xiping County was breached in all likelihood, and Emperor Han could only be driven out of Runan and run away in a donkey cart.
It's a pity that your big brother Zang is already a complete Hanchen.
How good it is to follow Emperor Han, and now to take refuge in time, maybe you can even get some credit for restoring the country!
However, Zang Li still did not express his thoughts too clearly, and continued to induce:
"But the time is hard to determine."
"Although I have already surrendered, Emperor Han still has doubts. After all, Wei Chengxian has gone through repeated encounters before."
"The information I can know is limited. If you only rely on you to contact, there will inevitably be delays. It is difficult to coordinate internally and externally to attack at the same time."
A smile appeared on the spy's stern face, and said:
"What's so difficult about this? If we want to coordinate the inside and the outside, we can't delay it for too long."
"The longer the delay, the greater the possibility that brother Zang and other soldiers will be exposed."
"General Pu Qian also has the same idea. If we want to attack, we must do it as soon as possible. The time must be within three days."
"Within three days, tomorrow at the earliest, if we see three beacon fires in the southwest, our army will attack the city with all its strength."
"Brother Zang can act now."
Zang Li showed hesitation on his face, and said:
"Can you make the decision on behalf of General Pu?"
"After all, it's just a siege."
The spy showed a determined look:
"General Pu Qian has given me full authority to make the decision. This matter should not be difficult."
"Besides, General Zang will act in secret after seeing the beacon fire."
"Even if General Puqian decides to stand still, General Zang should not be in any danger."
"In our business, we can't just rely on news, but also adapt to the situation while analyzing."
"Now my judgment is that the inside should cooperate with the outside, and there must be an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"As long as General Zang and those surrendered soldiers can do something, the strength of the Guiyi Army in the city is definitely not enough to resist our army."
Zang Li put on an extremely cautious look, thought over and over again, and then replied:
"it is good."
The secret inspector took a look at Zang Li, his eyes were full of excitement.
If this thing can be done, he should take the lead!
It is not ordinary to be able to break through the city with this internal response method, even the city guarded by Liu Zhi'er!
He stabilized his excitement, and said lightly:
"I'm going to tell General Puqian that Brother Zang must protect himself!"
Zang Li waited for the spies to leave, and fell into deep thought again, thinking about how to tell the emperor about this matter.
In fact, his betrayal did not affect the battle situation too much.
However, when Pu Qianguang launches a general attack, he will definitely be able to take some precautions and then plot against him.
For example, the guest post that has left him with a psychological shadow so far.
Such a huge monster, when Pu Qianguang's army came to attack, he directly cast it.
How much damage can it cause? !
It also has a certain deployment effect on various resources in the city.
Able to use limited defensive resources at the most critical time.
"Is this considered a feat?"
After making up his mind to join the Han Dynasty, Zang Li was also thinking about how to make contributions.
As for turning around and dealing directly with the Donghu people, attacking the old master.
He also has no psychological burden.
As a former Taishan bandit, the moral bottom line is very low.
Besides, he actually endured the forty military staff, and his butt is still aching!
What, you said that Emperor Han also had his forty army sticks beaten?
That's no problem!
Well played!
He had joined Donghu before and worked for Puqianbu, so he deserved to fight!
"General Zang did a good job."
Suddenly, another voice came from behind.
Zang Li suddenly recovered from deep thinking.
The spy hasn't left yet?
But Liu Ke jumped down from the beam.
As a qualified filial son, Liu Ke also had a certain application to Emperor Huan's destiny of being a habitual thief.
Anyway, he is not as good as Lu Fengfu in governing Xiping County, and he is not as good as Zhongxuan in training soldiers.
It's not a problem to lie down, so I simply go from house to house.
In case the letters of adultery with Donghu people were collected from any household, wouldn't they be able to search the house again!
Xiping County has another batch of food reserves, and there are even gold and silver that can be made into medals to reward soldiers.
He found the Donghu spy halfway and followed him all the way to Zang Li's mansion.
It's the spy's skills, which are really not good, and he has never been found.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Zang Li subconsciously wanted to put away the paper on the desk. After all, there was indeed some defense information on it, and he wrote it down to confuse the spies.
Although I don't know why the emperor suddenly appeared, but if one can't explain clearly and is misunderstood by the emperor, things will be serious.
He is a real big man Zhongliang!
"It's been said that you did a good job."
Liu Ke was also very surprised. He thought Zang Li was pretending to surrender, but he didn't expect that he actually surrendered.
It seems that the big man is still very popular, and if Pu Qianguang takes the initiative to attack, it will indeed bring a certain turning point to the current delicate situation.
"His Majesty."
Zang Li wanted to say something, but Liu Ke suddenly attacked him, picked up the candlestick and smashed it on the forehead.
Liu Ke's whiteboard force value is really not good, and the sneak attack just made Zang Li a little confused.
The second hit knocked him out.
He skillfully tied up Zang Li, stuffed it under the couch, and put away a few pieces of paper on the table, ready to show Lu Fengfu to see if he had a chance.
To be honest, it is only part of the reason why he is a gentleman and covets the gold and silver of wealthy families.
I want to pay more attention to how Zang Li will behave after being beaten with the army stick.
If Zang Li was a false surrender, he would be able to activate Lu Fengfu, and it would be really refreshing for Master Lu to beat up two or five youngsters.
It's a pity that Zang Li really surrendered, so there's no other way but to suffer from Zang Li for the time being, fooling Lu Fengfu a lot.
The next day, the city head.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Zhong Xuan said tremblingly.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Liu Ke held a banquet at the top of the city as usual, and the waiters were busy serving wine and meat.
A section of the city wall can be kept intact with a banquet, which is simply too cost-effective.
And very motivating.
The two armies are fighting, your boss is dispatching troops, our boss is eating meat and drinking wine, making judgments!
Liu Ke held the wine jue, took a sip and said:
"When you surrendered them before, weren't you still unwilling?"
"Now cut it off and hang it on the wall, do you think it's inappropriate?"
Zhong Xuan poked his head out and looked at the city wall.
Now, there are many corpses of Donghu soldiers hanging on the walls of Xiping County.
They were all stripped of their armor.
After all, there is a lack of armor in the city, and these are treasures that can be reused.
Each of the corpses was dressed in single clothes.
Some are like flags, erected on the top of the city, while others are left with their heads hanging outside the city wall.
Donghu people's braided hair has a little advantage, it is easy to hang.
The braids are spread out, and a brick is tied to it, not to mention how secure it is.
This was the treatment given to the Great Khan of Donghu in "Langjuxu Mountain Tour" sung by Liu Ke.
"Khan is like the sun, hanging high in the sky."
Begging Yan Sirie didn't enjoy it in the end, which made them cheaper.
This is something that Zhong Xuan really did not expect.
If you want to recruit them, then collect them all. If you want to kill them, kill them all.
How can you cut half and get half?
How can we tell the difference?
Such cutting and hanging will only make those who are still alive feel chilled!
Surrendered, you still kill?
And now the Donghu soldiers in the city have leaders.
Zang Li can lead them.
But then again, it's really cool.
And most of the Guiyi Army soldiers thought so too.
These professional soldiers of the peasants really eat this way, purely killing people.
If Donghu people bully others, they will be killed.
If the Donghu people attack them, then kill them.
But don't think too much.
Liu Ke sat in the banquet, with his legs crossed and out of shape, drinking wine carelessly, looking at the scenery above the city, and said nonchalantly:
"Just a little thing."
"I have observed all those surrendered soldiers in the city, and all those left behind are loyal people."
"Although it may not be possible to go to the battlefield immediately, it will definitely not turn against the water."
"Those who still have bad intentions, those who should be killed will naturally be killed, and those who should not be killed and who sincerely surrender will naturally be kept."
"One is one, two is two, I have never been able to tell the difference."
Uh, so confident?
Zhong Xuan was speechless, and he didn't know where the emperor's self-confidence was, would anything really happen?
However, the two monarchs and ministers did not continue the dialogue, because the Donghu people appeared in the distance.
Pu Qianguang led his troops to attack.
Zhong Xuan frowned, now that the surrender of pawns has caused some confusion in the city, it is really not a good opportunity to face the enemy.
But the Donghu people have come to attack, and there is no way, he can only remonstrate:
"Your Majesty, please continue to let Lord Lu Bo give lectures in the city as before, and at the same time take care of the surrendered soldiers."
"There must be no accidents in the city. If not, the people of Donghu should cooperate with each other, and Xiping County may suffer losses!"
"Ah."
Liu Ke snorted softly and waved his hands:
"I know, you go to arm yourself."
Then he called a small soldier and handed out Zang Li's writings and drawings from last night:
"You give these things to Lu Zhubo, and you say that Zang Li has defected."
"Yes"
The soldier was also in a fog, so he could only do what he was told and go to the county government office.
After a while, Pu Qianguang led his troops to attack the city.
After he got the spy's information, he immediately prepared to mobilize troops.
Of course, with his ability, he would not easily mobilize troops because of Zang Li's one-sided remarks.
Although Zang Li's actions were very real, the spy was trustworthy enough.
Pu Qianguang still kept some eyes open.
Until I saw piles of corpses and heads hanging on the top of the city.
Pu Qianguang decided to prepare to attack the city and create opportunities for Zang Li.
After all, the situation was already obvious. Although Liu Zhi'er had surrendered a large number of soldiers from the Eastern Hu, he did not give him the credit he deserved.
Instead, they went on a killing spree.
How long has it been?
It was only a few days before these people surrendered.
After a few days, even if you observe day and night, and even torture and interrogate severely, what can you tell?
Pu Qianguang believed that the purpose of such a killing spree by the Han emperor was to establish his prestige and intimidate his soldiers, while at the same time boosting the morale of the Guiyi army and seeking revenge.
But there is no doubt that this approach is a bit impulsive.
Grace but no prestige makes one cowardly; prestige without grace makes people alienate.
The Han emperor had established his authority by killing like this, but it would definitely make the subordinates alienated.
Even if you dare not vent it out loud, you will be alienated in your heart.
As for Zang Li, there is no need to say more. He led his people to surrender, but the people under his command were killed indiscriminately, which only made them feel alienated.
Before, Pu Qianguang had a vague feeling that it was possible for Zang Li to pretend to be a real person and sincerely surrender to the Han Dynasty.
After all, he himself is a Han Chinese, and he was a bandit a long time ago, and bandits obviously have no bottom line.
After this massacre, Pu Qianguang can be sure that Zang Li is one of his own, and he will never sincerely join the Han Dynasty.
This killing will only make Zang Li feel cold.
The plan of spying last night is very likely to be successful, and even because of such eccentricity, more soldiers will be involved in the cooperation between the inside and the outside.
Unless the ones hanging on the city wall are all loyal to Puqianbu.
Emperor Han killed all of them correctly.
But that's simply not possible.
The Han people have a good saying, people's hearts are separated from the belly!
Do you think that these descendants are family members who get along day and night?Do you even know exactly what position you like to sleep in?
When the two armies fought on the first day of the new year, the defenders in Xiping County fell into a disadvantage.
Pu Qianguang's dispatch of soldiers and horses is far stronger than that of Zang Li.
His soldiers and horses are all elites.
There are also ladders and rams, which are much more powerful siege equipment than flying ladders.
And it made Liu Ke feel a little difficult to handle.
This Pu Qianguang is truly worthy of being a good general. He knows how to avoid weakness and keep truth. He is not as stubborn as Zang Li.
There was no one attacking the city wall where the banquet was held at the place where he was.
So much so that unless the retention pile is thrown out directly, it is difficult to make any use of it.
He could only throw a small amount of heavy door panels to intimidate the nearby Donghu soldiers.
But fortunately, siege is difficult after all.
Even if he had a slight advantage, Pu Qianguang could not directly lead his troops to forcibly break through the city.
The two sides fought until dusk.
Seeing that the soldiers on both sides were exhausted, Pu Qianguang felt that the time was almost up.
Immediately call the channel:
"Go to a high place and light the three beacons."
(End of this chapter)
Liu Ke asked someone to open the city gate, drive a donkey cart, and rush out.
He couldn't wait.
Anyway, the morale of the Donghu people has been beaten to a low level, and they are unsustainable, so they quickly took advantage of the random killings to expand the results of the battle.
Killing one more enemy now will make it easier for Xiping County later on.
Moreover, the soldiers who returned to the rebel army were not satisfied with just defending the city.
Beating the dog in the water is a skill that all Han soldiers must master.
The gate of the city was opened wide, revealing the donkey cart under the gate.
The long shadow cast by the setting sun directly passed through the thousands of Donghu soldiers under the city.
Liu Ke, who was running wildly, had the chessboard flying continuously. In his hands, the small and exquisite chessboard was a deadly weapon.
As long as it hits, Donghu soldiers will fall to the ground one after another.
Liu Ke entered Runan alone, and the chessboard was not enough.
Therefore, the chessboards in my hands until now were all taken from the homes of wealthy families in Xiping County.
I took all the door panels for you, and a few small chessboards, what kind of big deal can it be?
Since it belongs to a wealthy family, there are probably no cheap items.
So, even more outrageous scenes happened.
As the chessboards were thrown out one by one, the speed of the donkey cart became faster and faster.
Under Zang Li's dispatch, the Donghu people who were attacking gathered their formation as quickly as possible to form a shield formation.
With a knife in one hand and a shield in the other.
This kind of circular formation is most effective when used to deal with a fierce general rushing into the formation alone.
Even for a tough guy like Dian Chu, it is difficult to find a breakthrough.
If one is not very good, it is easy to fall into layers of siege, and it is difficult to get out.
It's a pity that facing Liu Ke is of no use.
After all, the morale of the Donghu soldiers has fallen to the bottom after the big pendulum of staying guests just now.
There are only a small number of people who can form the eight classics in a serious manner.
The other Donghu soldiers who were alone, even a little timid, and wanted to run away were Liu Ke's targets.
Persimmons should be grasped softly!
Liu Ke's force value still hasn't been raised very high, but because of [killing pigs] destiny, holding a chessboard spear, he can still do some subtle tricks.
I saw his chessboard spear, and when he raised his hand, he picked out an extremely strange angle.
Just rubbing the spears of the two Eastern Hu soldiers in front, and almost clinging to the gap, it hit the head of an Eastern Hu soldier.
Gently, it seems that there is no effort at all.
But the head of the Donghu soldier seemed to be hit by a heavy object, and his heavy body fell straight down.
The alert Donghu soldiers wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and thrust out their spears to force the donkey cart to stop.
I saw two spears thrust at the same time, with a sudden sound of wind, extremely fast and violent, and they fell down at the same time.
But Liu Ke's donkey cart driving skills are already at a level beyond the ages. He suddenly accelerated and then borrowed a drift.
It can even continue to accelerate while drifting.
The next moment, the donkey cart passed by like the wind.
Fast, simply too fast.
Even more Eastern Hu soldiers hadn't reacted yet, and were taken out by him in a daze.
But those two spears could only poke empty space.
Among the high-speed donkey carts, the chessboard spears of the Hu soldiers in the Middle East were exquisitely pointed. They did not touch any blood, but they killed countless people.
Coupled with the chessboard flying out from time to time, it is even more difficult to stop.
So what if you form an array?
I'll walk around your formation, and just walk around the periphery to kill skirmishers!
Originally, these scattered soldiers who were not in formation were the easiest to deal with.
After such a fierce pursuit and beating, he was completely discouraged!
Liu Ke is more afraid of salvo now, but there is no such thing as salvo in the defeated army.
As for the occasional wandering arrow, relying on the destiny of [self-driving travel], it can be easily solved.
"Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops!!"
Zang Li quickly issued an order, causing his cronies to frantically wave the order flag, playing the flag and wanting to withdraw.
The sound of footsteps, the clash of weapons, and shouts intertwined.
The Eastern Hu soldiers were pressing against each other, and for a moment, the original formation was completely disrupted.
The once majestic banner is now just swaying with the wind.
The banner was displayed, but it seemed extremely weak.
"Which way to go?"
"Where are you going?"
The Donghu soldiers looked panicked and looked around, trying to find someone who could command them.
But many senior non-commissioned officers either died in battle or fled.
Those soldiers who can still find their superiors can barely form a small team in a hurry.
But more of them are soldiers like headless chickens.
It was like a flock of birds that were startled at the same time in the nearby forest and fled in all directions.
The main road was already crowded, and the soldiers were pushing and shoving, trying to escape as soon as possible.
But in this chaos, more Donghu soldiers fell to the side of the road and fell to the ground.
Even though he just fell, he still fell on the side of a relatively wide road.
Even if someone was pushed behind him, the soldier who fell on the ground could still stand up in time to avoid being trampled.
But their hearts are more broken.
Just say don't attack the city. A good siege would be great, why bother to attack the city?
Leave guest posts for others to use as targets
No, it’s fishing as a fish!
At this time, it can be seen that although Zang Li has good abilities, he has some ability to command troops.
However, in terms of withdrawal, there is still a lack of enthusiasm.
Not only did they not order the withdrawal of troops at the first time when morale plummeted, but also did not issue a specific withdrawal method in the panic.
Moreover, a strange thought arose in the hearts of those fleeing Donghu people.
If only Li Jingji, the often-defeated general, was leading them.
Anyway, they can't win the battle, so Li Jingji can at least take them and run away together!
"Wish to surrender, wish to surrender!!"
There were sounds of surrender everywhere, and when Zang Li at the end saw this, he simply surrendered too.
Yes, let’s use the bitter meat.
If the momentum of the follow-up Guiyi army is good, Pu Qianguang's more than 4 soldiers and horses will be helpless, and they will even be defeated.
Then he really voted.
Liu Ke succeeded in subduing thousands of Donghu people by himself. It is rare to see such a great victory in the city defense battle in history books.
It's just that the surrender of the Donghu people needs to be treated with more caution.
Zhong Xuan led a rider over and said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, our army is now in the hinterland of Puqian, which is different from the Donghu people in Jingzhou."
"These Donghu people were forced to surrender under the defeat of the army, and they did not necessarily surrender sincerely."
"If there is another recurrence and rebellion is launched, Xiping County will be in danger!"
Liu Ke nodded, Zhong Xuan was right.
Now that they can stand firm against nearly ten thousand Donghu people, they might be able to fight against the tens of thousands of Pu Qianguang's main force.
And after recruiting these Donghu people, it would be better if these Donghu people sincerely surrender. If they suddenly rebel, Xiping County will be easily attacked from within.
Even if they don't turn against the water, it's just that there are ghosts spying on them and revealing the defense situation in the city, and it's not easy for them to defend the city.
Liu Ke nodded and said:
"As Qing Zhong said, the Guiyi Army is just a lone army with a worrying future. It is difficult for these Donghu soldiers to serve you and me sincerely."
"But if they can be successfully recruited, these people are all combatable soldiers, and not all of them are Donghu people, and there are also a large number of Han Chinese."
"These are all trustworthy."
Zhong Xuan's idea is indeed correct.
But for a lone army in the enemy's territory, it is also normal to use dropped troops to make up for the shortage of troops.
Zhong Xuan also knew it. After thinking about it for a while, he still persuaded:
"Your Majesty, the general is not saying that he can't trust them, it's just that there are mud and sand in them, and it's hard to distinguish between those who are sincere and those who have two hearts."
"Even though Pu Qianguang came here with a large army, but now that His Majesty is in charge, he can easily force-land the vanguard of Donghu, so he definitely won't attack the city easily."
"For the current plan, we can only stick to Xiping County and wait for reinforcements."
"Surrendering these Eastern Hu soldiers at this time is nothing more than adding variables. Please think twice, Your Majesty."
Liu Ke thought it over, Zhong Xuan was afraid that Donghu's soldiers would be capricious, which would cause civil strife.
But he likes Erwuzi.
After all, Erwuzi can activate Lu Fengfu, this unparalleled strong man among the rebels, and he is easy to use.
And he actually has a way to tell the difference between the second and the fifth.
It's just that a large number of Donghu soldiers who were recruited before, such as Wei Chengxian's department and Xiu Tubi's department, all contributed to the city and came with credit.
Inconvenient to use.
"Put them in jail first."
[Prison disaster: You are in the prison as if you are at home]
Don't overestimate the moral bottom line of these Donghu soldiers, maybe some of them dare to betray their family members.
But the natural sense of intimacy that this destiny brought to Liu Ke was just a bonus.
The point is to give him an understanding of the "family".
After understanding the temperament of these Donghu descendants, it is easy to pick out the dog things that may be repeated.
Even if there are a few people who miss it, they can only pass on the news at most, and it is impossible to lead the crowd to rebel.
Compared with the rest of the fresh troops who sincerely surrendered and could supplement their combat effectiveness, it was a bloody profit.
It's just that Zhong Xuan's brows were still tightly wrinkled, and he said in puzzlement:
"The prison in Xiping County can't hold so many people!"
Zang Li brought 8000 troops to attack the city.
Counting those who died in battle, those who fled, and those who surrendered, there are also 3000 people.
The prisons in a small county like Xiping County are full of prisoners, and they only hold a few hundred people.
It's not the specially built prison in Jiaozhi, which is called a prison but is actually a place for soldiers.
No matter how crowded it is, it cannot accommodate 3000 people.
"Then divide it into batches. Today you squat, and tomorrow he squats. Take turns."
Liu Ke Gangang was assertive and said without rebuttal:
"Don't need to talk about Zhongqing, he is good at training, so he should be strictly guarded."
"There must be someone available among them."
Zhong Xuan bowed his head in silence and did not respond to the order.
Liu Ke heard nothing, turned around and repeated to Zhong Xuan:
"Your Majesty, I will leave this matter to you."
Zhong Xuan was silent for a while, and finally nodded and said yes:
"Yes."
Then someone ordered:
"You search one by one, first search the weapons and armor, and then..."
"In addition, a camp was set up in the prison, and they were stationed there, and then they were imprisoned in the prison in turns."
The cronies around me were confused.
Is there another way to be detained in turn? ?
Then Liu Ke looked at Zang Li again.
[Name: Zang Li (Sergeant)]
【Age: 36】
【Command: 85; Force: 81; Wisdom: 72; Administration: 68】
[Characteristic: Rogue]
He is indeed a useful person, more than enough to be stationed in a state.
It's no wonder that as a Han Chinese, they can be so reused.
However, it seems that they still suffered some unfair treatment because of their identity as Han Chinese.
I heard that Zang Li just went back to Xuchang to report a letter, but Puqian Yonggu grabbed him and beat him with forty army sticks.
It is normal for the tide to fall now.
Liu Ke thought for a while and ordered:
"Come on, drag him down, and give me a forty army stick!"
"This person has taken refuge in Donghu, and I have lost tens of millions of loyal and brave soldiers who have returned to the volunteer army!"
Zang Li:? ? ?
"Yes!"
There were already soldiers from the Guiyi Army who were gearing up and hurried forward.
They had fought against Pu Qianguang before, but they had suffered at the hands of Zang Li!
Regardless of whether you surrender or not, report your personal grievances first today!
Just when Zang Li still didn't understand why.
Liu Ke leaned his head and said softly:
"I also ask General Zang to be patient for a while and suffer some humiliation, so that he can vote for Donghu again and act as an internal support for our army."
Zang Li was dumbfounded.
I am from Donghu, King Khan beats me, I am Han, Emperor Han beats me.
I have absolutely no idea what position I should be in right now.
Is it from Donghu's side or Dahan's side? ? ——
A few days later, Pu Qianguang's army arrived under Xiping County.
But he didn't dare to take the initiative to launch an attack. Instead, he found a suitable place outside the city and set up camp.
At the same time, they kept gathering the defeated troops, wanting to know what was going on with Zang Li.
Seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses attacked the city, consuming the vital strength of the Guiyi Army.
In the end, you beat them all, and you surrendered directly, adding vitality to others?
Soon, someone came to report with scattered defeated troops.
Pu Qianguang saw the person in front of him, and he was somewhat familiar, as if he was quite brave in the army.
It's just that she is in a particularly embarrassing situation now, the braids on her head are completely untied, her body is bruised and purple, and her lips are pale, as if she hasn't eaten for several days.
The whole person was in a daze.
"Come on, bring some meat soup!"
Pu Qianguang patted the table and endured waves of stench.
No matter how disgusted he is, he still needs to know the information!
This horse riding is too miserable, is there a million tigers and wolves in Xiping County? ?
After drinking the meat soup, the pawn felt a little warmth in his body, and seeing Pu Qianguang, he felt that he had a backbone again.
Immediately, snot and tears poured down, completely unstoppable:
"General! General!!!"
Pu Qianguang couldn't hold it any longer, why are you crying like a ghost?
However, he still comforted him with words:
"Ben will be here, nothing will happen."
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Kuizu coughed twice, and wiped away his tears, but one of them couldn't hold on, and sprayed out another snot bubble, which exploded in front of Pu Qianguang's body.
Pu Qianguang didn't wipe it off, but wiped the pawn with a clean sleeve, and asked softly:
"Is it better now?"
"Uh huh."
The defeated soldier shouted twice and finally calmed down, saying:
"Our army has been defeated!"
"This is to attack the city, but Liu Pheasant actually has all kinds of defensive equipment."
"Especially a super-large retention pile, which can not only hit people, but also be used repeatedly."
"There are iron chains on the top, and with a bang, a group of people can be thrown off their backs."
"Our army was beaten to such a low morale that it was unable to resist at all."
"And that Liu Zhi'er took advantage of General Zang's withdrawal, blatantly rushed out and directly killed our army."
"General Zang had no choice but to surrender with the remaining soldiers and horses!"
As Pu Qianguang listened, countless question marks popped up on his forehead.
What kind of guest stake is this that can be reused after being smashed to the point of knocking people off their feet?
But thinking of Emperor Han's innate supernatural power and unparalleled bravery, after thinking about it in every possible way, he still accepted it.
This is much more reasonable than thunder falling from the sky and rivers rising.
"Okay, you go down."
Pu Qianguang calmed down a little, and let the rout leave.
He has 8000 troops and horses. After excluding the 4 men assigned to Zang Li, there are still more than [-].
Due to the ebb and flow of the situation, the number of defenders in Xiping County may be around [-].
But that's not how the numbers work.
Runan is a place that Pu Qianbu has governed for many years. Some county soldiers were randomly mobilized for reorganization, and there was no shortage of soldiers at all.
As for the Donghu surrender troops in Xiping County, even if there were many soldiers of Han origin, Liu Pheasant might not believe it.
What's more, Zang Li was already a bitter mole who had been arranged a long time ago.
Surrender at this time is really a good opportunity.
This kind of record of turning defense into offense is also rare in history books. Under such a disastrous defeat, Zang Li's surrender will hardly arouse doubts.
Moreover, eight thousand Donghu soldiers were also presented as gifts.
It can be said that the lives of these eight thousand Donghu soldiers were used to make Zang Li win the trust of Liu Pheasant.
The price is great.
But obviously, the rewards are also great.
Pu Qianguang hastily summoned an agile confidant to spy, and ordered:
"Sneak into the city, get in touch with General Zang, and see what's going on in Xiping County."
"If it's possible, take the inside and the outside together, and you can decide for me how to act."
This confidant is related to him by marriage and is deeply favored, so he will never betray him.
Moreover, he has some brains and can make basic judgments according to the current situation.
If Zang Li could really achieve something in the city, it would be a good opportunity for him to cooperate with the outside to attack Xiping County and force the Han Emperor to flee.
Then he and Quan Yi can play a role in the net that he and Quan Yi will lay down around Xiping County.
"Yes."
After nightfall, everything inside and outside Xiping County became quiet.
The soldiers of the Guiyi Army in the city would definitely not dare to take the initiative to attack in the face of Donghu's army.
And the Donghu army over there didn't know the reality of Xiping County, so they didn't harass them at night.
The two sides lived in harmony for a while.
The whole city was pitch-black, except for the lanterns of the night watchmen, patrolling around the city.
The northeast corner of the city is where the prison is located, and there are a large number of Donghu soldiers.
Zang Li's temporary residence is also here.
It's just that because he is a general, the treatment is slightly better.
I found an unoccupied mansion and let him live in it.
Similarly, Zang Li didn't have to go to prison, and he was not very restricted in moving around on weekdays.
A black shadow came out.
A patrolling soldier seemed to have noticed something and gave a soft drink.
But soon the figure disappeared, and then there was a rat cry.
"A mouse?"
The patrolling soldier scratched his head and didn't pay much attention.
As soon as he left, the black shadow appeared again, probing around, very professional.
The thick-soled shoes under his feet made his footsteps very light.
Judging by his acquaintance, it is obvious that he is very familiar with the deconstruction of these squares and markets.
From time to time, he would follow the soldiers on night watch and listen to their conversations to get more information.
It didn't take long for the shadow to locate Zang Li.
He stopped at the entrance of an alley. Opposite the alley was a courtyard with a lantern hanging. The door was closed and it looked a bit eerie.
The faint light of the lantern reflected his face. This person was exactly the secret agent sent by Pu Qianguang.
He looked at the closed door with a sinister smile.
After a while, he sneaked in secretly and touched behind Zang Li, who was deep in thought in front of Kun Zhu.
"Brother Zang."
Zang Li was startled and almost shouted.
The spy whispered:
"it's me."
Zang Li looked back and saw the person coming.
This person was originally a bandit who was a bandit with him on Mount Tai.
Especially good at stealing chickens and dogs, his body is extremely light, and he can easily jump on the beam.
After he was incorporated, the spy also joined the Puqian Department.
Later, he was discovered by Pu Qianguang, and he took him as his confidant, and he usually did these dark jobs behind the scenes.
When Zang Li saw the spy, he knew the purpose of his visit, got up immediately, closed the window, drew the curtain, and whispered at the same time:
"There is some turmoil in Xiping County right now, but I have no way to confirm the news."
"Before it's confirmed, it's not easy to send information to General Pu Qianguang, and there are so many soldiers watching the night nearby, it's not convenient for me."
At the same time, Zang Li began to write on the paper.
The detective's eyes kept flickering, turning around on the paper on the table:
"only these?"
"I'm afraid it's not enough."
"I heard that Liu Zhi'er surrendered a large number of our soldiers. Is Big Brother Zang sure about getting them to rebel?"
"In this way, with General Puqian's army attacking the city, we can easily take Xiping County by cooperating with the inside and the outside."
Although many people's thoughts are to besiege Xiping County.
But this spy knew some of Pu Qianguang's plans, and after reading the information provided by Zang Li, he had some brave ideas in his heart.
Zang Li continued to write and draw, but in fact he had now completely converted to Han.
From the strokes of those Eastern Hu soldiers who surrendered, it can be seen that Emperor Han was very knowledgeable, and he could see his character and character at a glance.
Many descended soldiers who had been in jail had their heads cut off.
Zang Li went to see it himself.
As a general of Donghu, he naturally knew that some of them were diehard Puqianbu.
Some of them are even directly members of the Puqian tribe, or are inextricably linked with the nobles of the Puqian tribe.
Naturally, these people would not sincerely trust them.
As for the others, there were not many signs, and they looked mediocre on weekdays, and they were reduced soldiers who did not have a strong will to resist the Han Dynasty.
Zang Li originally thought that Emperor Han would rather kill these people by mistake than let them go.
And feel a little chilled.
Unexpectedly, after a little torture, he turned out to be a loyal and brave man who was dedicated to Dong Hu.
Good to die!
With this kind of insight into people's hearts, Jiang Zu has been included in everything.
There are not many diehards in it.
If Zang Li wanted to do something, he couldn't do it at all.
Zang Li even felt that his every move might be monitored by Emperor Han.
He knew exactly what was going on in his mind.
So Zang Li is also very straightforward now.
Master cast a man!
Even if the Han Emperor really wanted to send him back to the Donghu Army to serve as a spy, he would accept it.
He is a Han Chinese, he is a Han Chen, don't change it!
It's not that he was disloyal to Puqian Yonggu, and I'm sorry for Puqian Yonggu's kindness of knowledge.
There is really a gap in the abilities of the two sides!
If he is not completely loyal to the Han family, he is afraid that he will be seen through the next day. What kind of tricks are there, it is completely a meal delivered to the door!
So now, Zang Li is also doing things for the big man wholeheartedly, constantly fooling around and spying.
He knew very well that what Xiping County was most afraid of was the siege of the city, after all, the food reserves were limited.
If Pu Qianguang can lead an army to attack, he will be able to win in chaos, and there is a certain chance.
No matter how bad it is, you can still run if the city is broken!
Zang Li paid special attention to the fact that the donkey carts of Emperor Han could carry people.
If he slipped away with the donkey cart, even if Donghu's army surrounded him, he would still be able to escape.
Therefore, the spy's extremely heroic thoughts served his interests.
The spy still felt that Zang Li was one of his own, so he continued to boldly say:
"Now that Liu Zhi'er's attention should be on the army outside the city."
"Whether it is for the sake of survival or considering one's own background, there should be many people who are willing to surrender among the soldiers in the city."
"Brother Zang only needs to seize the opportunity and raise his arms, and then he can cooperate with the outside world."
Zang Li nodded.
There are indeed many people who are half-hearted.
So there are quite a lot of people who have been thrown out of jail after finishing their stay in prison recently.
However, he did not express his position in a hurry, but deliberately took a step back, and said with a worried look on his face:
"But they have all confiscated their weapons, and they have almost no fighting power!"
The detective said:
"Why bother!"
"The soldiers of the volunteer army are all farmers, how much experience do they have in battle?"
"And once our army attacks the city aggressively, those well-armored soldiers will definitely climb to the top of the city to resist."
"How many people are left in the city? How many are well-armored, capable and brave?"
"Although they are all soldiers, they are also soldiers who have undergone formal training."
"With the leadership of Brother Zang, we will definitely succeed."
Zang Li had to admit that the spy's analytical ability was very good.
As for Wang Lue's plan of suffering in advance, it was also good.
If he really belongs to Puqianbu with all his heart, then it will be easy to get things done.
Under the combination of inside and outside, Xiping County was breached in all likelihood, and Emperor Han could only be driven out of Runan and run away in a donkey cart.
It's a pity that your big brother Zang is already a complete Hanchen.
How good it is to follow Emperor Han, and now to take refuge in time, maybe you can even get some credit for restoring the country!
However, Zang Li still did not express his thoughts too clearly, and continued to induce:
"But the time is hard to determine."
"Although I have already surrendered, Emperor Han still has doubts. After all, Wei Chengxian has gone through repeated encounters before."
"The information I can know is limited. If you only rely on you to contact, there will inevitably be delays. It is difficult to coordinate internally and externally to attack at the same time."
A smile appeared on the spy's stern face, and said:
"What's so difficult about this? If we want to coordinate the inside and the outside, we can't delay it for too long."
"The longer the delay, the greater the possibility that brother Zang and other soldiers will be exposed."
"General Pu Qian also has the same idea. If we want to attack, we must do it as soon as possible. The time must be within three days."
"Within three days, tomorrow at the earliest, if we see three beacon fires in the southwest, our army will attack the city with all its strength."
"Brother Zang can act now."
Zang Li showed hesitation on his face, and said:
"Can you make the decision on behalf of General Pu?"
"After all, it's just a siege."
The spy showed a determined look:
"General Pu Qian has given me full authority to make the decision. This matter should not be difficult."
"Besides, General Zang will act in secret after seeing the beacon fire."
"Even if General Puqian decides to stand still, General Zang should not be in any danger."
"In our business, we can't just rely on news, but also adapt to the situation while analyzing."
"Now my judgment is that the inside should cooperate with the outside, and there must be an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"As long as General Zang and those surrendered soldiers can do something, the strength of the Guiyi Army in the city is definitely not enough to resist our army."
Zang Li put on an extremely cautious look, thought over and over again, and then replied:
"it is good."
The secret inspector took a look at Zang Li, his eyes were full of excitement.
If this thing can be done, he should take the lead!
It is not ordinary to be able to break through the city with this internal response method, even the city guarded by Liu Zhi'er!
He stabilized his excitement, and said lightly:
"I'm going to tell General Puqian that Brother Zang must protect himself!"
Zang Li waited for the spies to leave, and fell into deep thought again, thinking about how to tell the emperor about this matter.
In fact, his betrayal did not affect the battle situation too much.
However, when Pu Qianguang launches a general attack, he will definitely be able to take some precautions and then plot against him.
For example, the guest post that has left him with a psychological shadow so far.
Such a huge monster, when Pu Qianguang's army came to attack, he directly cast it.
How much damage can it cause? !
It also has a certain deployment effect on various resources in the city.
Able to use limited defensive resources at the most critical time.
"Is this considered a feat?"
After making up his mind to join the Han Dynasty, Zang Li was also thinking about how to make contributions.
As for turning around and dealing directly with the Donghu people, attacking the old master.
He also has no psychological burden.
As a former Taishan bandit, the moral bottom line is very low.
Besides, he actually endured the forty military staff, and his butt is still aching!
What, you said that Emperor Han also had his forty army sticks beaten?
That's no problem!
Well played!
He had joined Donghu before and worked for Puqianbu, so he deserved to fight!
"General Zang did a good job."
Suddenly, another voice came from behind.
Zang Li suddenly recovered from deep thinking.
The spy hasn't left yet?
But Liu Ke jumped down from the beam.
As a qualified filial son, Liu Ke also had a certain application to Emperor Huan's destiny of being a habitual thief.
Anyway, he is not as good as Lu Fengfu in governing Xiping County, and he is not as good as Zhongxuan in training soldiers.
It's not a problem to lie down, so I simply go from house to house.
In case the letters of adultery with Donghu people were collected from any household, wouldn't they be able to search the house again!
Xiping County has another batch of food reserves, and there are even gold and silver that can be made into medals to reward soldiers.
He found the Donghu spy halfway and followed him all the way to Zang Li's mansion.
It's the spy's skills, which are really not good, and he has never been found.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Zang Li subconsciously wanted to put away the paper on the desk. After all, there was indeed some defense information on it, and he wrote it down to confuse the spies.
Although I don't know why the emperor suddenly appeared, but if one can't explain clearly and is misunderstood by the emperor, things will be serious.
He is a real big man Zhongliang!
"It's been said that you did a good job."
Liu Ke was also very surprised. He thought Zang Li was pretending to surrender, but he didn't expect that he actually surrendered.
It seems that the big man is still very popular, and if Pu Qianguang takes the initiative to attack, it will indeed bring a certain turning point to the current delicate situation.
"His Majesty."
Zang Li wanted to say something, but Liu Ke suddenly attacked him, picked up the candlestick and smashed it on the forehead.
Liu Ke's whiteboard force value is really not good, and the sneak attack just made Zang Li a little confused.
The second hit knocked him out.
He skillfully tied up Zang Li, stuffed it under the couch, and put away a few pieces of paper on the table, ready to show Lu Fengfu to see if he had a chance.
To be honest, it is only part of the reason why he is a gentleman and covets the gold and silver of wealthy families.
I want to pay more attention to how Zang Li will behave after being beaten with the army stick.
If Zang Li was a false surrender, he would be able to activate Lu Fengfu, and it would be really refreshing for Master Lu to beat up two or five youngsters.
It's a pity that Zang Li really surrendered, so there's no other way but to suffer from Zang Li for the time being, fooling Lu Fengfu a lot.
The next day, the city head.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Zhong Xuan said tremblingly.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Liu Ke held a banquet at the top of the city as usual, and the waiters were busy serving wine and meat.
A section of the city wall can be kept intact with a banquet, which is simply too cost-effective.
And very motivating.
The two armies are fighting, your boss is dispatching troops, our boss is eating meat and drinking wine, making judgments!
Liu Ke held the wine jue, took a sip and said:
"When you surrendered them before, weren't you still unwilling?"
"Now cut it off and hang it on the wall, do you think it's inappropriate?"
Zhong Xuan poked his head out and looked at the city wall.
Now, there are many corpses of Donghu soldiers hanging on the walls of Xiping County.
They were all stripped of their armor.
After all, there is a lack of armor in the city, and these are treasures that can be reused.
Each of the corpses was dressed in single clothes.
Some are like flags, erected on the top of the city, while others are left with their heads hanging outside the city wall.
Donghu people's braided hair has a little advantage, it is easy to hang.
The braids are spread out, and a brick is tied to it, not to mention how secure it is.
This was the treatment given to the Great Khan of Donghu in "Langjuxu Mountain Tour" sung by Liu Ke.
"Khan is like the sun, hanging high in the sky."
Begging Yan Sirie didn't enjoy it in the end, which made them cheaper.
This is something that Zhong Xuan really did not expect.
If you want to recruit them, then collect them all. If you want to kill them, kill them all.
How can you cut half and get half?
How can we tell the difference?
Such cutting and hanging will only make those who are still alive feel chilled!
Surrendered, you still kill?
And now the Donghu soldiers in the city have leaders.
Zang Li can lead them.
But then again, it's really cool.
And most of the Guiyi Army soldiers thought so too.
These professional soldiers of the peasants really eat this way, purely killing people.
If Donghu people bully others, they will be killed.
If the Donghu people attack them, then kill them.
But don't think too much.
Liu Ke sat in the banquet, with his legs crossed and out of shape, drinking wine carelessly, looking at the scenery above the city, and said nonchalantly:
"Just a little thing."
"I have observed all those surrendered soldiers in the city, and all those left behind are loyal people."
"Although it may not be possible to go to the battlefield immediately, it will definitely not turn against the water."
"Those who still have bad intentions, those who should be killed will naturally be killed, and those who should not be killed and who sincerely surrender will naturally be kept."
"One is one, two is two, I have never been able to tell the difference."
Uh, so confident?
Zhong Xuan was speechless, and he didn't know where the emperor's self-confidence was, would anything really happen?
However, the two monarchs and ministers did not continue the dialogue, because the Donghu people appeared in the distance.
Pu Qianguang led his troops to attack.
Zhong Xuan frowned, now that the surrender of pawns has caused some confusion in the city, it is really not a good opportunity to face the enemy.
But the Donghu people have come to attack, and there is no way, he can only remonstrate:
"Your Majesty, please continue to let Lord Lu Bo give lectures in the city as before, and at the same time take care of the surrendered soldiers."
"There must be no accidents in the city. If not, the people of Donghu should cooperate with each other, and Xiping County may suffer losses!"
"Ah."
Liu Ke snorted softly and waved his hands:
"I know, you go to arm yourself."
Then he called a small soldier and handed out Zang Li's writings and drawings from last night:
"You give these things to Lu Zhubo, and you say that Zang Li has defected."
"Yes"
The soldier was also in a fog, so he could only do what he was told and go to the county government office.
After a while, Pu Qianguang led his troops to attack the city.
After he got the spy's information, he immediately prepared to mobilize troops.
Of course, with his ability, he would not easily mobilize troops because of Zang Li's one-sided remarks.
Although Zang Li's actions were very real, the spy was trustworthy enough.
Pu Qianguang still kept some eyes open.
Until I saw piles of corpses and heads hanging on the top of the city.
Pu Qianguang decided to prepare to attack the city and create opportunities for Zang Li.
After all, the situation was already obvious. Although Liu Zhi'er had surrendered a large number of soldiers from the Eastern Hu, he did not give him the credit he deserved.
Instead, they went on a killing spree.
How long has it been?
It was only a few days before these people surrendered.
After a few days, even if you observe day and night, and even torture and interrogate severely, what can you tell?
Pu Qianguang believed that the purpose of such a killing spree by the Han emperor was to establish his prestige and intimidate his soldiers, while at the same time boosting the morale of the Guiyi army and seeking revenge.
But there is no doubt that this approach is a bit impulsive.
Grace but no prestige makes one cowardly; prestige without grace makes people alienate.
The Han emperor had established his authority by killing like this, but it would definitely make the subordinates alienated.
Even if you dare not vent it out loud, you will be alienated in your heart.
As for Zang Li, there is no need to say more. He led his people to surrender, but the people under his command were killed indiscriminately, which only made them feel alienated.
Before, Pu Qianguang had a vague feeling that it was possible for Zang Li to pretend to be a real person and sincerely surrender to the Han Dynasty.
After all, he himself is a Han Chinese, and he was a bandit a long time ago, and bandits obviously have no bottom line.
After this massacre, Pu Qianguang can be sure that Zang Li is one of his own, and he will never sincerely join the Han Dynasty.
This killing will only make Zang Li feel cold.
The plan of spying last night is very likely to be successful, and even because of such eccentricity, more soldiers will be involved in the cooperation between the inside and the outside.
Unless the ones hanging on the city wall are all loyal to Puqianbu.
Emperor Han killed all of them correctly.
But that's simply not possible.
The Han people have a good saying, people's hearts are separated from the belly!
Do you think that these descendants are family members who get along day and night?Do you even know exactly what position you like to sleep in?
When the two armies fought on the first day of the new year, the defenders in Xiping County fell into a disadvantage.
Pu Qianguang's dispatch of soldiers and horses is far stronger than that of Zang Li.
His soldiers and horses are all elites.
There are also ladders and rams, which are much more powerful siege equipment than flying ladders.
And it made Liu Ke feel a little difficult to handle.
This Pu Qianguang is truly worthy of being a good general. He knows how to avoid weakness and keep truth. He is not as stubborn as Zang Li.
There was no one attacking the city wall where the banquet was held at the place where he was.
So much so that unless the retention pile is thrown out directly, it is difficult to make any use of it.
He could only throw a small amount of heavy door panels to intimidate the nearby Donghu soldiers.
But fortunately, siege is difficult after all.
Even if he had a slight advantage, Pu Qianguang could not directly lead his troops to forcibly break through the city.
The two sides fought until dusk.
Seeing that the soldiers on both sides were exhausted, Pu Qianguang felt that the time was almost up.
Immediately call the channel:
"Go to a high place and light the three beacons."
