The devil is coming

Chapter 388 Surrender
Xu Youcheng walked to Liang Cheng carrying some dried meat. He did not dare to deliver it directly to Liang Cheng, but placed it in front of Liang Cheng.
Liang Cheng sat cross-legged on the ground. Not far away was the seat of the Naiman tribe.
Afterwards, Xu Youcheng stood next to Liang Cheng.
In fact, from the fact that Jin Shuke dared to rush in with the soldiers patrolling the city to protect Uncle Zheng, it can be seen that this big zombie has some prestige in the military, but it cannot cover the sky with one hand.
The reason is simple. It’s not that it can’t be done, but that it’s not done.
He was in charge of the training, and he was also responsible for the actual command of most of the battles. Except for some general arrangements that were pleasing to the superior, Liang Cheng also promoted most of the other grassroots and middle-level generals.
If he wanted to directly take the original Sheng Le Army, which is now the Xuehai Cavalry, into his own hands, it would really not be a big problem.
But Zheng Fan didn't worry about this, and this big zombie didn't bother to do it either.
Therefore, this also created a situation where Liang Cheng had high prestige in the army but not enough popularity.
In Xu Youcheng's view, General Liang was really a benevolent man, a loyal and lonely minister, and he was in power without causing any chaos. It was really not something that ordinary people could do.
"Is there any news from the Sentinel Cavalry yet?" Liang Cheng asked.
"As for the general, I haven't yet. Come to think of it, the great prince of the Naiman tribe has not taken this path."
Liang Cheng nodded slowly.
After he led his army back in a roundabout way, he first attacked the Naiman tribe's pasture, which put great pressure and panic on the Naiman tribe.
In fact, this kind of attack is just loud thunder and small raindrops.
Afterwards, Liang Cheng decisively led his troops to withdraw, preparing to set up an ambush on the Naiman tribe's way back to support.
The design is very simple, but the simpler something is, the more practical it is.
However, what surprised Liang Cheng slightly was that he failed to wait for the eldest prince's returning army on that road.
The eldest prince's returning army seemed to have disappeared, and seemed to have completely given up on protecting his pasture.
This made Liang Cheng feel a little uncomfortable. The Commander-in-Chief knows one truth very well, that is, when you find that you can't figure out the enemy's intentions, it is often the beginning of your falling into passivity.
What if the eldest prince's support was just a show of force?
Then,
On the main front line, there may be huge variables.
After all, whether the Naiman tribe recruits its elite troops or not will have a huge impact on the strength of its frontline army.
In fact, after the ambush failed and the prey was not obtained, many generals below suggested returning to the uncle's aid quickly.
But he was still rejected by Liang Cheng.
This allowed the troops led by Liang Cheng to be completely hidden near the Naiman tribe in the next few days.
Because the Naiman tribe is now empty and was "frightened" previously, the Naiman tribe has shrunk its remaining strength and basically shrunk within the scope of traditional tribal influence. A very subtle peace has formed between the two sides.
"Double the number of sentries and expand the exploration area." Liang Cheng ordered.
"Yes, General."
Xu Youcheng went down and gave the order.
Liang Cheng silently took out a piece of beef jerky and put it into his mouth. Instead of chewing and swallowing, it seemed like he was chewing betel nut, just coveting the feeling of meat staying in his mouth.
Zuo Jiqian, who was dressed in military uniform, came over, looked at Liang Cheng who was sitting there, respectfully performed a military salute, and then sat down next to him.
He had a different background from Xu Youcheng, a soldier who surrendered from the Jin region. He had already followed Zheng Fan when Uncle Zheng was still in Cuiliu Fort. Although there were some minor conflicts at the beginning, he was once arrested because of Emperor Yan's involvement in the family. Although he was demoted to a prisoner, he could be regarded as one of the first people to follow Zheng Fan very early.
In Xueguan, Zheng Fan was granted the title of Commander-in-Chief, and Zuo Jiqian and others were promoted to garrison.
"Come to persuade me to come back for help?" Liang Cheng asked.
Liang Cheng remembered that at the beginning, the Lord and the blind man were not very reassured about Zuo Jiqian because he looked like "Lu Bu".
It's just that this guy's luck is really good. He has been alive and peaceful all the way through the wars, so he doesn't care so much anymore.
"The general has his reasons for not returning reinforcements, but from the general's point of view, returning reinforcements at this time does not mean much. The outcome of the war at the uncle's side on the front line should have been determined by now. It is good. It's useless for us to go back, it's bad, our troops are here, and the Naimans don't dare to pursue Uncle Uncle too fiercely."
Liang Cheng was noncommittal.
Zuo Jiqian continued: "But, General, sometimes there are things that are not right or wrong, but attitudes."
If you don't come back, it doesn't matter whether your return is useful. If you don't come back, it proves that you don't care about my safety.
Zuo Jiqian's advice was not to sow discord, but what he believed was the way to survive.
Liang Cheng shook his head and said:
"Don't worry about this."
"Yes, General."
At this moment, Xu Youcheng ran over quickly and reported:
"General, a group of barbarian troops appeared around the Naiman tribe. They should be reinforcements."
When Zuo Jiqian heard this, he stood up immediately.
Liang Cheng then ordered:
"Send my order and stay where you are."
"Yes, General."
Xu Youcheng followed the order and went down, while Zuo Jiqian asked with some confusion:
"General, why is this?"
The reinforcements from the Naiman tribe have returned. At this time, a plan should be prepared for whether to fight or withdraw, and it should be done quickly, but what are the plans for bringing the troops in place?
"The Naiman reinforcements did not take the road we set up an ambush on earlier. They probably took a long detour."
Liang Cheng pointed to the Naiman camp with a bonfire flickering in front of him and said:
"It's not to deliberately avoid our ambush. In fact, if the other party has thought about the ambush in advance, it will be difficult for us to ambush him. Moreover, although the Naiman tribe has dispatched a large army, it is impossible for there to be even a single soldier in the tribe. There are no horses left. If the eldest prince really wants to lead his army back to support us, he should be in the opposition and his father should be included, so that he can attack our army from a flank, but he did not choose to do so."
"Are you guilty, scared, scared?" Zuo Jiqian asked.
Liang Cheng shook his head slightly and said,
"I don't know, but we can stop disturbing them now and let them tell me what they want to do."
……
"What on earth does he want to do, what does he want to do!!!"
The Naiman King let out an angry roar.
When a Yan army suddenly appeared within the confines of his pasture, King Naiman was shocked. He thought it was the main force of the Yan army rushing over, so he immediately ordered to gather the tribesmen and at the same time sent people to the front to support a troop of troops and horses to come back for reinforcements.
This is undoubtedly a very correct decision, at least from the perspective of King Naiman. As for the consequences of the "bucket board" effect, this is not something King Naiman can consider, and even if it is considered, it will not be possible. There is no way to solve the problem at present.
But when his subordinates came to report that his eldest son had led an army to return reinforcements, and came from another direction, King Naiman's heart suddenly "thumped".
You can say this is the intuition of a superior person,
It can also be thought that this is a kind of trust and understanding that the father has for himself.
The first moment I heard the news,
The Naiman King ordered all the family members of his eldest son to be captured, and at the same time ordered the remaining warriors in the tribe to wear armor and get ready.
Sure enough, when five thousand warriors led by his eldest son appeared not far to the south of the tribe, they suddenly began to charge.
The prepared King Naiman directly escorted the hostages to the front line, and at the same time personally went into battle with a sword.
This is a situation that no one can figure out for the time being.
But it actually happened.
Even Liang Cheng, who was watching the fire from across the bank, was surprised.
What on earth are the Naiman tribe on the opposite side playing?
Turn a blind eye to yourself,
Right under his nose, in front of his own army,
Directly start internal strife and stage a drama of father and son killing each other?
Do you want to invite you into the urn and design yourself?
quickly,
Liang Cheng was sure that this was not an invitation to a urn, and there was no need for him to think too complicatedly.
because of them,
The fight really started!
The troops led by the eldest prince directly attacked the camp. He probably wanted to finish it in one go, but he didn't expect that his father was on guard.
At the same time, King Naiman escorted all the family members of the great prince to the front of the battle array, holding knives on their necks to intimidate them.
For a moment, the eldest prince's troops were in a state of disintegration.
The father-killing rebellion, the following plan, is based on the blood and bravery of a son, absolutely can't hesitate, everyone goes ahead ruthlessly, maybe it will be over.
But now that an episode had occurred, and the forward attack was blocked, the morale of the eldest prince's troops instantly fell into a low ebb.
And then,
King Naiman showed his youthful demeanor,
He personally rode his horse and led five hundred cavalry from the other side of the camp, rushing directly towards his son's team.
Facing the leader of his tribe, still on the battlefield, still in this way, many warriors under the eldest prince really do not dare to take the sword, because even if you kill the Naiman King at this time and help the eldest prince ascend to the throne, But after all, you are his father-killing enemy. Do you still want to get good results in the future?
Therefore,
King Naiman was close to the five hundred cavalry, directly disrupting the formation of the eldest prince.
Some of the returning reinforcements led by the eldest prince collapsed, while others chose to surrender. The sudden rebellion launched by the eldest prince almost went bankrupt in an instant.
After seeing this situation, the eldest prince did not choose to surrender. He wanted to gather his followers and leave here first, leaving Qingshan without worrying about having no firewood.
However, the followers around him saw that something was going wrong and that their family members were still in the hands of the leader. They simply refused to do anything and didn't even respond. They all took action to pull the eldest prince off his horse.
Seeing this, the eldest prince did not give up the consciousness at all. After falling off his horse, he slashed with a knife and killed two of his followers in succession. However, when he was slashing at another relative, his father led others to kill him.
King Naiman, who was already furious and eager to calm down the situation completely, went up and cut off his son's head with a knife without any hesitation.
A rebellion that happened in a hurry and with great momentum ended here!
Liang Cheng couldn't help but clapped his hands on the grassy slope.
Zuo Jiqian misunderstood and said directly: "General, will our army take action now?"
Taking advantage of this incident, if the entire army attacks at this time, it is very likely that the Naiman tribe's headquarters will be directly destroyed.
Liang Cheng shook his head and said:
"Keep waiting. Now that the eldest prince has returned with his army, there should be no problem with the war on my uncle's side."
In fact, Liang Cheng has never been too worried about Zheng Fan's safety, because Zheng Fan is not without people who can be used. At the same time, blind people like A Ming and Siniang may not be as aware as he is of his master. In the past few years, Yu's progress in leading troops in war has been horrifying.
After all, he and Tian Wujing taught him step by step.
Even if I teach a Zhao Kuo,
Do you really think that Zhao Kuo can only talk on paper?
The worst situation for the front line is to fall into a stalemate, or to selectively retreat strategically without causing any major trouble.
And now,
After the internal strife in the Naiman tribe,
Both the morale and the cohesion within the clan will inevitably fall into a low point. When the news of the defeat of the frontline army comes, the Naiman tribe itself will inevitably collapse.
If you can defeat others without fighting, why waste the lives of your own soldiers?
War is sometimes like doing business. When the interests are consistent, the lower the cost, the better.
"Let the brothers rest, and at the same time send someone to contact my uncle."
Liang Cheng issued the order.
"Yes, General."
……
King Naiman, who had just personally beheaded his eldest son, didn't care about his sadness and sorrow. He hurried back to the tribe and held a meeting of elders and nobles. At the meeting, he directly ordered to kill those who usually went with his eldest son. The elders and nobles who were relatively close to him were directly beheaded on charges of treason. Their family members, cattle, sheep and belongings were confiscated and distributed to the warriors who had accompanied him to put down the rebellion.
Immediately, he ordered to pardon the soldiers who had rebelled with his son before, and even redistributed armor and weapons to them and allowed them to enter the camp.
At last,
Many people were sent out to inquire about the movements of the Yan army.
What King Naiman was most afraid of was that the Yan army that had suddenly appeared a few days ago would rush out and attack them right after the chaos on his side was settled.
But fortunately, there was no movement outside until dawn, so King Naiman felt relieved and returned to his royal tent.
There, you can always get the best rest.
This is indeed the case,
Because every time he entered there, he was sleeping...
After King Naiman fell asleep again,
Hua Ji was arranging her hair in front of the bronze mirror and said to the black cat lying on her lap:
"Even now, I can still sleep."
"So, are you helping the Yan people?" Black Cat asked.
"If you don't show some sincerity, how can you open your mouth and hang out with the Yan people in the future?"
"It's unlucky for the father and son to have you."
"Hey, look at what you said. It's not like you don't know that the eldest prince is interested in me. It was you who suggested that I establish a good relationship with the eldest prince in advance?"
"Because this is the custom of the barbarians. After King Naiman dies, according to the rules, you will marry his son as your wife."
"Haha, the Naiman tribe has no hope anyway. Whether or not I send someone to inform the eldest prince will not change the situation. Maybe because of my doing this, some of the Naiman tribe will die. Ouch, I have accumulated so much merit, and I don’t know if it will be beneficial to my practice.
I have heard that if you can build a temple for yourself and have constant incense, it will be of great benefit to your spiritual practice. "
"You will be struck by lightning."
"A cat can't spit out ivory from its mouth, haha."
The reason why the eldest prince chose to rebel?
Because his "mother concubine" is also his "concubine",
Someone sent him a letter privately.
That letter arrived just after the eldest prince received the letter from his father.
In his father's letter, he told himself that a Yan army of unknown size had appeared near the tribal pasture in the rear, and that he needed to lead some warriors to return for reinforcements.
In the letter sent by his "mother concubine", he told him that King Naiman was frightened by the Yan people's momentum, and there was no news from the tribes asking for help, so he planned to settle the matter because he killed the eldest prince himself. The escaped Jin slaves angered the Yan people, so King Naiman planned to hand over his son to the Yan people in exchange for the Yan people's withdrawal.
In short, it means that your father plans to sell you!
It is indeed you who committed the crime,
My father has indeed always been suspicious of me.
The person who tipped him off was his "little mother" who cared about him.
Anyone in the position of the eldest prince at this time would most likely think this is true.
Furthermore, the eldest prince is not a wise and mighty man. If the third prince encounters this problem, he may think more about it, but the third prince has already been sent to the embrace of the stars by Uncle Zheng.
The eldest prince rebelled;
But his father was still his father after all, and he suppressed him.
"Tell me, when the Yan people come, should I change my makeup? Change it to the color of a woman from the Qian Kingdom? I always feel that the makeup on the Savage side is a bit too greasy, and I'm afraid that Uncle Hirano won't like it."
The black cat stretches out its claws,
Patted the lower leg,
Then he patted Hua Ji’s bulge,
At the same time, he yawned,
Road:
"I've heard that Yan people like people with big hips and thick waists, as they are good for fertility."
"Pooh!"
"Yan people have that kind of taste. They don't like people from Xiaojiabiyu, but they like big guys with big feet. If you marry them, you can take over half of the labor."
This is indeed the custom of Yan people.
And whether it is common people or princes and nobles, when choosing a wife or a daughter-in-law, they will give priority to the physical health of the daughter-in-law. The stronger the body, the higher the betrothal gift.
So,
When the news came out that the eldest prince of the Yan Kingdom had married a barbarian princess, the people were actually quite happy. After all, barbarians are generally strong and stout, so I guess the barbarian princess was also stout and stout, okay!
"Am I small?" Hua Ji asked while checking her body.
"Among foxes, it's considered big."
"Why am I going to compete with the fox now?"
"Haha, when you are a demon, you must not forget your roots."
"Fuck me!"
The black cat jumped off Hua Ji's body, came close to King Naiman, looked at King Naiman who was sleeping soundly, and said:
"You said, when the Yan people come, if we just kidnap the Naiman King and give it to the Yan people, will the credit be greater?
In the past few years, haven't you also raised a group of people who are loyal to you? "
"I've thought about it, but would it be too much?"
"Anyway, just send the Buddha to the west. I did it on the first day of the new year. Why are you so awkward on the fifteenth day?"
"It seems to be the truth."
said,
Hua Ji turned to look at King Naiman, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
It can be seen that he is very tired, he is very panic, and he must be under a lot of pressure.
However, it was precisely because of him that he was able to sleep soundly in this situation.
"Wait a little longer, haven't the Yan people taken action yet? We are not in a hurry."
Hua Ji took a sip of red paper.
Admiring her red lips in front of the bronze mirror.
"I'm so beautiful."
.........
Two days later, soldiers who had fled from the front line began to appear one after another. They brought news of the defeat of the front line, and it was a huge defeat.
After hearing the news, King Naiman sat on his throne in shock.
Below, all the nobles and elders were silent.
Lost, lost completely.
Because the eldest prince's rebellion had just happened, the atmosphere in the Naiman tribe was very depressing at this time.
There are strong enemies outside, and internal strife and strife inside, the whole tribe is now in panic.
Hua Ji and Black Cat also learned the news.
The black cat said while licking his paw:
"It's done. Now the Naiman tribe is completely finished. I'm also surprised. How come these Yan people are so good at fighting? It feels like no one can beat them."
"Yeah." Hua Ji sighed.
The black cat raised its head, stared at Hua Ji with its cat eyes, and said:
"We're going to start tonight? Have you informed your people yet?"
"I have informed you that when he comes to my tent tonight, I will tie him up. This is a poison that will remove the blood and prevent him from struggling.
After controlling him, he will control the Naiman tribe as the princess of the Naiman tribe and surrender to the Yan people.
Nowadays, no one in the Naiman tribe is naive enough to think that they can fight against the Yan people. If I help them control the Naiman King, they will be grateful to me in their hearts. "
"It sounds like this scene is big, but it's also pretty good. Don't all men like this tone? You are a surrendered princess, and you still retain the last dignity and dignity. You are more attractive to men in front of their beds. Power, this is called the desire to conquer."
"It sounds very logical. If you are willing, I can help you castrate now, and then help you transform into a human being. I just talk about it and don't practice the fake moves. You can go up and experience it yourself."
"Meow."
The black cat meowed,
Then,
The eyes of one person and one cat met each other for an instant.
Black Cat immediately said:
"No, there is a problem!"
Suddenly,
There was a sound of dense arrows, and immediately, flames burst out, and the entire king's tent began to burn.
outside the tent,
King Naiman squatted on the ground, wiping his tears. Around him, a group of people continued to shoot flaming arrows towards the king's tent.
"You are the most beloved star in my life."
King Naiman stood up slowly,
Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he murmured:
"I know that you would rather die than be insulted by the Yan people. I will personally send you back to the embrace of the stars. In the future, we will be reunited among the stars."
King Naiman took a deep breath,
He said to a confidant standing next to him:
"Send men and horses to raise flags, look for the nearby Yan people, and tell them that I am a barbarian tribe and have surrendered."
----
Goodnight everybody.
